I need to share a file with sec.(windows based). She uses it all the time. I need to just download updated version every few days. I have an old airport extreme and was hoping to attach an external drive. Will this work?

I need to download an updated version of a file every few days to use. My secretary works on the file all the time. I thought i could use my old airport extreme and attach an external HD and set up a network to do just this. At work we alll use pc's. How can i make this work? At the moment we use usb stick to transfer which is getting to be a bit of a pain as the file grows every week. Presently 5GB.

Yes, you can use either the 802.11g or 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) to attach an external USB HDD for file sharing. Either AEBS model would allow you to share out this HDD to either Macs or PCs. From the PC, the shared HDD would appear as a network drive which you can map via Windows Explorer.

Airport Extreme and My Book Home Edition 1TB external drive

Connecting the My Book Drive to Airport Extreme and entering passcode for A.E. causes it to turn off. Is this normal? Western Digital also claims that this drive cannot be shared this way and that their network drive needs to be used. Any thoughts on this? Is there a list of compatible drives?
thanks in advance.

Sounds like I have a similar problem, although I am able to browse the network drive for a bit before it decides to disconnect. To reconnect I have to reset the AE. My drive is a seagate 'desktop', not sure if there is a compatible list, but I have tried others which did the same thing. Now I've decided to just use a USB hub to connect all my drives to, not ideal but it is simple

The odds are that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1.....which will only work with Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.
Since your post indicates that you are using Lion 10.7.4, you need the correct utility for Lion. The link is below:

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version. I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues. During the installation process it gave me an error message that said:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer. I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I did not leave anything out from the error message. It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..." Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
How do I repair this issue? I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse. I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

Hi lustyln,
I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
For reference, here are your product specifications:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:

I hope this helps.

Thunderbird is a great asset to my boss and I. We use Thunderbird all the time and love it, but for about a week it constantly goes into "not responding mode". My boss uses the same service at home with no problem at all.
I did an "safe mode" and restart and for a few minutes I thought it was "healed". However, I did a search and the same thing started happening again. The little blue ring starts spinning and "not responding" pops up above the toolbar. Sometime the screen fades to a sort of greyish and no mouse click are responded to, even to close Thunderbird.
Please help however you can. Our office number is 512.246.3995.
Thank you,

Hi there dworthen,
It sounds like you are experiencing issues when trying to rotate your display. I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

I have an HP photosmart8250 printer and wondering when I buy a new ipad will it work with that?

There's a list of printers that support AirPrint, the native mechanism for printing from iOS, here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
I don't see the 8250 listed. HP has an app that enables printing to some of their other wireless printers; search the iTunes Store and you should find it as well as some other printing apps. Otherwise you can connect the printer to your computer and route the printing through the computer. f you have a Mac, Printopia might be worth a look:
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/
If you have a Windows system, search the web for something like "airprint Windows hack" and you'll find instructions on enabling printing.
Another option is an AirPrint-capable print server. Lantronix makes a couple of models, including one that supports a USB printer:

How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

Thanks for the additional information.
Unfortunately, the AirPort Utility application in the Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems, which is used to configure the new Time Capsule does not support the older versions of the products that you have.
Even if it did, there are no settings on the older AirPorts to "Extend a wireless network", so they are not compatible with the new Time Capsule if you intend to extend the network only using wireless connections.
If you have the ability to connect each AirPort to the Time Capsule using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, it might be possible to use a complicated workaround to install an older version of AirPort Utility to configure the older AirPorts to work with the new Time Capsule.
If you have another Mac there that is using the Leopard or Snow Leoapard operating system, things would likely be simpler. I have not done this type of procedure to mix a new Time Capsule with older AirPorts, so I would not be able to say whether this would work or not.

The last week, Firefox will not load up the NEW YORK TIMES. So, I have had to use Safari to do so. If this continues, I'm going to quit using your browser, and begin using Safari all the time!

The last week, Firefox will not load up the NEW YORK TIMES. So, I have had to use Safari to do so. If this continues, I'm going to quit using your browser, and begin using Safari all the time!

There are several other similar posts in this forum with the answers. Your post appears third in my Google search today looking for a solution so I thought I'd add the solution here as well.
It is obviously a bug in either (or both) Firefox and the NYT.
The quickest solution is to simply go to the VIEW Menu in Firefox, then the ZOOM option and choose RESET.
I use Mac and this happens in Firefox 3.6.10. It does not happen in other browsers like Safari, Chrome and Camino, and it did not occur before last week.
It has also occurred in the iOS version of Safari on iPad. Not sure how to fix it there.

I have a new Airport Extreme and and old airport express. I am getting an amber status light on the Extreme and a green light on the Express. The Extreme is blinking amber all the time.
I have internet and everything seems to be working.
I have reset and pulled the power cord on both the extreme and the internet block
How do I make it Green?

If things seem to be working OK, but the amber light is flashing......the AirPort Extreme has a message for you. To see what that might be......
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Extreme icon
Click on the amber dot in the small window
It might be a message that a firmware update is available for your AirPort Extreme.

Seagate External Drive Will It Work?

Hi,
Does anyone know if a PowerBook G4 15" aluminium will work with a Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1 TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive?
I'm concerned that there will be a problem with the USB 2.0 compatibility.
I am also taking the leap by upgrading my memory to 1 GB and installing OSX Leopard. Not Snow Leopard, just the regular one.
Any and all recommendations are welcome.
Thank you,
John Flood

Thank you for your reply.
I need a clarification.
Regarding the USB 1.0 versus USB 2.0...
The Seagate external drive I have has two USB plugs that plug into the two USB slots on my Powerbook. This apparently provides enough power to the drive and I have never had a problem. If I don't need to boot off of it, I still wonder if the new Seagate external drives USB 2.0 will work with my Mac. If you can, please clarify.
Regarding my plan to upgrade from OS X 10.3.x...
I bought a full edition of Leopard on DVD. Will this be enough?
Many thanks again,
john flood

Very frustrated with my LG G2. My screen freezes all the time when texting. This started after the upgrade. My husband's phone is doing the same thing. We have reset the phones, deleted off pics and videos but nothing helps.

Very disappointed in my LG G2. My screen freezes all the time especially when texting. This started after the update. My husband's phone is doing the same thing. We have done a hard reset, deleted pics and videos to clean up the phone but nothing helps. Any suggestions? Our phones are new.

Lots of Frustration. In some cases the LGG2 is rendered useless even as a phone.
Here is what I did.
Got replacement Phone.
Same problems but I shut down all apps that I purchased even though they worked before KitKat.
Found that If I have both WiFi and LTE Data on at the same time battery chewing stops. Do Not know why.
Then I got 2 CM free utilities. The Clean and Wash utilities. Run them and find the culprits grinding CPU
cycles and running down the battery. Number One is the Verizon Voice Mail service constantly turning on and off
and retrieving data not there. Turn of the extra Voice mail and use the old access with the *6. Unless you have
100 messages a day for business your hosed until this KitKat issue is fixed. Get the CM battery utility.
YOU can see the battery suckers and shut them down when not using automatically.
Start putting back one application at a time you used often and see it they work and if the utilities will tune them
down if they cause problems. The LG will get better but with some limitations.
LG and Verizon have a problem with what was a great phone.turned bad overnight.

OS X lion USB Thumb Drive - will this work on new Mac Mini or MBA (2011)?

Hi All,
Not to be confused with the other similar posts, I am interesting in only clarification of what build comes with the USB Thumb Drive now available on Apple Store - will this work with new MBA and Mac Mini?
Thanks,

From what I have read about the usb installer, it is not intended for you to try booting from the stick after wiping your hard drive. You are to click on the installer
You may be correct, but this statement is quite confusing in that context:
Important Note
When you install OS X Lion using the USB thumb drive, you will not be able to reinstall OS X Lion from Lion Recovery. You will need to use the USB thumb drive to reinstall OS X Lion.
So, if the Thumb drive is supposed to take the part of the Recovery partition, it seems that it should be able to boot. However, the license agreement still requires an Apple computer running Snow Leopard, so maybe it isn't bootable.

I can't sign in to wifi all the time I need to sign in manually

after I update my Iphone 4 to 5.1.1 I can't connect to the wifi automatically. All the time when I turn off the wifi from the phone I need to type the wifi code again.

Go to Settings > Wi-fi > click the blue arrow next to the network > tap "Forget this network"
then go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
Power off your phone and back on.
Attempt to connect to the wireless network again, enter your inforamtion in and see if it prompts again in the near future.
if so then
Reset, restore, Service.
