I keep getting lost in this,,,

i am not in a great situation right now... despite the fact that i had believed that my home was stable, apparently my room-mate had different ideas, and has really (don't want to be rude, so i'll just say censored) me - but i've managed to pull the pieces together (much to his surprise) and am in fact i a way better position for this upcoming move than he is.
but... to my issue. i have (or had... i have disconnected the whole thing) Airport Network in this place - had my share of problems with it, but overall it's working okay now for what i wanted it to do. but with the change in status in our friendship, i want to make some changes to the access levels of my network.
it may seem petty of me, but if since he felt no conscience about pulling the rug out from under me with just two weeks notice, i don't feel bad about what i'm doing. i have disconnected the internet from my Airport Network, and am accessing it directly on my own - just to make his life here a bit more difficult. afterall, if he can leave me in a scramble, why should i let him use my internet connection...
but to the point. while i have disconnected the internet, i do still want to use both my USB printer and AirTunes.
is there a way i can have my Airport Extreme still control my Printer, connect to the Express which is connected to my stereo, without either of them being connected to the internet? any time i try to set this up, i get errors, and Airport Admin will say it cannot read the settings of one or the other. And of course, (for anyone who has seen my other posts re: the Express in particular) the Express has once again entered into its (apparent) default mode of flashing amber combined with its petulant I Will Not Reset, No How, No Way!! mode. Sigh...
I am planning on picking up the new base station after it is released, but will be making my move first, and would like to have my network set up in the new place when i get there.
any ideas? or have i just gotten too convoluted for my own good?
pierce

you know, i can see in the manuals, etc... how this should work. but getting these two Airports to cooperate is another matter. once again, i cannot get either one of them to reset to factory settings... i do want to start them fresh, but following the instructions, even with them attached to the book directly via ethernet. the extreme just will not reset at all, and keeps coming back up with the same settings as before. if i try to use Airport Admin to change the configuaration, it delivers an error message that it can't read the configurations setting.
the express on the other hand... at one point last night i thought i had actually managed to do what i wanted with it, and that it had taken the factory reset. at that point, i had decided to set them both up as individual networks rather than try to join them together - but once the Express as detached from the book, and set up by the stereo, it went back to the flashing Amber light and will not communicate with the MacBook.
for now i am thinking of packing them both up until after the move. once i know where i am going, etc... and have moved myself, i will be better able to concentrate on what i am doing, and will hopefully be able to get it working again at the new place.
but thank you for your response. i do appreciate it.

    You haven't opened an account with that Apple ID in iTunes. Open iTunes and log in. A dialog will appear in which you need to enter your Apple ID and/or password. Below it you should see a link for creating a new account. Click on that link to get started.

    If you see a dialog telling you the app is not avaiable, then it's not available.

    Cannot install Mountain Lion on my hard disc, as I keep getting the message" 'This disk is used for Time Machine backups'. Which it isn't - I don't use Time Machine

    Check to see if you have a folder named "Backups.backupdb" at the root level of your hard disk. That can cause this error message.

    The message is tru, the Mac App Store and the iTunes Store are the same store and use the same account. What does the system want you to do?

  • I keep getting the message "This search engine isn't supported by Firefox and can't be installed" whenever I try to install ANY search plugin on the Mozilla Add-ons website. Why?

    No matter which search plugin I choose to install from the list of FireFox search plugins on the Mozilla Add-ons website, I get the same error message - "This search engine isn't supported by FireFox and can't be installed". I tried deleting the 3 files in my profile identified in the article on troubleshooting plugins, but it didn't help. I am running Firefox with administrator privileges, but that doesn't help. The problem appears to be only with search plugins. I can install other extensions that are not search plugins from the Mozilla Add-ons site, but not search plugins. I tried restarting FireFox and rebooting the computer severaltimes, but I keep getting the same error message when I try to install a search plugin.

    If you are creating your own search plugins, be aware that you will get this same error if the path to the XML in your action script must be an absolute URL, even if the XML file is in the same location as the page that is pointing to it.
    IOW, this will never work:
    * window.external.AddSearchProvider('MySearchDefinition.xml');
    it must be:
    * window.external.AddSearchProvider('http://mysite.example.com/.../MySearchDefinition.xml');

    Does it still let you download the file? If it does, and you are trying to download the file from http://www.mozilla.com/ ignore the message and download the file.

  • I cannot open Lightroom. I keep getting the message: "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose "switch to" to activate the program and correct the problem.

    I have used my task manager to check to see if another version was open and that did not help. I've signed in and out of CC, that didn't help. The only thing that works is shutting down my computer and restarting. That only lasts for awhile and if I leave it open too long LR doesn't respond and I have to start all over. This just began doing this in the last few days, a few days before that I updated. I am pretty new to LR so any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Thank you.
    I did the search feature and did locate the .LOCK file (it actually came up with the .LRCAT file) I deleted it but it didn't work. LR will not open and I keep getting the original message I posted, and the only way I can shut down that screen (none of the options will work) is to go into task manager and shut it down.

  • Sync options keep getting lost

    Every since the new update for iTunes 11.0.1 in Windows, iTunes will not remember to "Manually Manage" for any of the 3 ipods that we have.  This happens when you disconnect your ipod, but it also happens in the middle of selecting options for your ipod sync while it is still plugged in!  If you select the "Manually Manage" option and then apply, then you have to go to songs and reselect those after hitting apply on that page you cannot move to select audiobooks or the "Manually Manage" option will be deselected and you cannot get both songs and audiobooks on your ipod.  VERY Frustrating!
    Can this be fixed or can I revert to the previous version?

    Sounds like you sync your phone between two different computers? If this is the case, the options unchecking themselves seems to be an intentional thing by Apple, I'm thinking to prevent an accidental "oops" overwrite of information if auto-sync is active.
    You can choose the "merge" option and everything on your phone (contacts and calendars, but NOT music) will be merged with everything on your computer - this is, everything will end up in both places.
    You can only sync music with one computer, however, so make sure you keep the music options unchecked on the computer you don't sync music with.

  • Cant install or uninstall Adobe Air. Keep getting error message "This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found"

    I am running Windows 7 and use Adobe AIR for Flixster.  When I tried to open Flixster I recieved an error message saying i needed to install Adobe AIR.  I looked and saw that according to control panel, Adobe AIR is installed.  I attempted to uninstall but get this EXACT message:
    "This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found.  Please download the latest version of the runtime from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair, or contact the application author for an updated version."
    I have tried going to the mentioned website but i get an error message saying installation failed and may need administrative privilages but I AM the administrator! 
    I then tried multiple solutions on the forums including the command prompt uninstall and still no luck.  contacted customer support who told me i can only receive assistance through these forums.
    Very frustrating.  Please Help.

    I have the same issue with a customer of ours:
    Try to uninstall AIR – same message.  (When I reinstall,  the install says it’s successful.) I try to run our app, same message. I downloaded another AIR app, same message – so it’s not our app it’s AIR.  We logged in as Administrator, same message.  It’s a Windows7 machine. I did a system restore to 2 days ago and started over and still the same issues. I tried running the Windows Fixit to uninstall https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall – didn’t work.

  • As a novice emailer, I keep getting "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" and I have to close and start over again EVERY TIME.

    I don't use this computer's new gmail very often. Therefore, I had some 150 emails that I was trying to go thru & delete if possible. Many emails gave another site to go to complete my understanding of this email. But "Firefox prevented...." statement appears on the top w/ only a blank screen. I try to go back a page...nothing happens. I have to close all the tabs and get out of it completely. Then I have to click on Firefox icon...go to gmail...select the same email if there was more to read on it or just skip to the next new email. Very frustrating to a computer-illiterate. I don't understand any of the computer lingo (jave...etc); it took me 1 hour to figure out how to get to this space to type in this question. I have already failed 3 times in asking/typing in the question box. PLEASE try not to give me technical phrases.....left, right, top, works best for me.... mahalo, cecile

    I don't know if this is still a problem but to stop it go to Firefox>Options>Options>Advanced>General Then third line down there is a box to remove the warnings. (These instructions are for Firefox4; I don't know how to access this from other versions.)
    I'm also not sure whether this just removes the service of stopping redirection or whether it just removes the warning so beware.
