I want to extend my network, but the TC name changes
I went to extend my network with an express, but I have to set my TC to "allow this network to be extended". When I do that, the TC changes it name to "xxx (3)" or something (actually started to name itself (2), then restarted and changed.
That would be OK, but as I use it as Time Capsule, It seemed to think the new name meant everything was new and did not see my old backups. I changed it back for now, but would like to extend my network. Is this a known problem, or only mine?
thanks for your message, so i have this

The "forget this network" option is not available on my iPod touch, can someone tell me what I need to do to have that option show.
Thanks :-)You must be connected to the network you wish to forget. If you are, head to Settings -> Wi-fi and click the > next to the network you are currently connected to. At the top of the next screen is the button to "Forget this Network."

Able to ping an IP address on my home network, but the device name fails
Hey there, it is possible this was answered previously, though I'm having difficulty finding the data.
What is happening is I am trying to get my MacBook to work where it can use my network device names instead of using the actual IP address (ie: MAINPC or PRINTER instead of 192.168.0.3). My PCs are having no issues resolving the names at this point, it is just the Mac. I'd like to be able to use the names as I prefer to use dynamic IP addressing on a lease of 24 hours, and it is just nicer to deal with mentally. The Mac can see the other machines in finder as well, so it looks like file sharing is set up correctly (The PCs can see the Mac as well using SMB).
The error message I am receiving is when I "ping MAINPC":
cannot resolve MAINPC: Unknown host
(The same happens with the printer)
I will try to find out how to create static IPs on my local network if that is what it takes, just wondering if anyone else has run in to this issue, and resolved it.
Ultimately I am trying to set up access to my PC's perforce server, and knowing the address is crucial (I'll attack the firewall issues once this is resolved). Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm fairly new to the Mac experience.Likely just an issue with the router you have. I have an ActionTec Q1000 rented from ISP - it does the same thing. Static IPAs versus dynamic ones won't help you.
Prior to its untimely death, a 2-Wire 2701HG-D router, also rented from the ISP before they replaced it with the Q1000, was robust enough to be able to resolve LAN hostnames to LAN IPAs. But no more.... Manually associating the hostname to the IPA in the Q1000's config pages does nothing.
So I bet you are just seeing the same lack of robustness in your router.
If worried about DHCP changing the IPA of a device, setting up a range of static and a range of dynamic IPAs in the router will help. The router should have a section in its config pages to "enable DHCP." In there, there is likely a place where you can define a range of DHCP addresses. Anything outside that range but within the subnet mask would be available for static assignment. For example, suppose your subnet is 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.255 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0). IF you declare your DHCP pool to be 192.168.0.128-192.168.0.254, then 192.168.0.2-192.168.0.127 will be available for static IPA assignment (I am assuming the router has assigned 192.168.0.1 to itself).
With the Macs, then, as you probably know, this is set in > Sys Prefs > Network > {interface} Advanced > TCP/IP. I usually choose configure "using DHCP with manual address." That saves me having to enter subnet mask and router IPA. But you could just as easily use "manually." Printers and other devices, you'd have to refer to their user guides. -
I'm trying to stack a new airport express to my airport exteme to extend the range to the other side of my house on the utility it recognizes it as part of the network but the express still flashes amber. what to do please help
Open AirPort Utility and click on the amber dot next next to the AirPort Express.
If you see an Update button click it.
Otherwise look at the information next to Status and click again on the smaller amber dot there. A window will open to explain why the AirPort Express is not happy along with some suggestions to remedy the "issue". -
The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery". Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't want to spend 130 dollars on something I'm going to have to replace in less than a year (which is what normally I been reading) I do design work and I take my mac everywhere. Having to always look for a plug or having to be constantly plugged in doesn't sound ideal to me. Please help me. what should I do???
Why does it matter if it a scam????? I'll let you figure that out by yourself. If I'm going to replace it, why should I be contempt with a battery that I have to replace within months (as stated by some people in the comments). The issue here is not if I should or not replace it OBVIOUSLY I'm going to have to before it starts going crazy. The underlying issue is why is the replacement battery for a lack of better words " a bit crap." It comes with a 3 month guarantee?? Is that a joke?!??!?! Some people complained it malfunction after only 8- 9 months? I'm sorry but as an Apple fan I think it's absolutely rubbish. I know there is no magic cure I'm just hoping someone shines the light on how crappy this replacement is.

I got a Macbook Air. My system language is russian but the login password is english. I put the laptop into sleep mode, then wanted to log in again, but the language seems to have switched to russian, there's no language change button! How do I log in now?
Severia,
I tried your solution, but it did not work with my laptop. After I restart the laptop, the language does not change and I cannot type the password in English language. Do you have any other suggestion?
Thank you. -
Hi, I am trying to download IOS7 (not sure if it's 1 or 2) to my ipad. The programme has locked at the 'Choose a Wif-Fi network' page, a box says 'joining other network' but the page is greyed out and can't move from it. How can I clear this screen and finish the download. Thanks
Hello Den53,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430?viewlocale=en_US
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Best of luck,

I have just downloaded the new operating system and my emails have grown to 13378. I want to delete them all, but the more I delete, the more number multiples. Help!!!
See if a reset helps ...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. -
My computer has a 1.3 GHz. I want to get a game but the minimum requirment is 1.4 GHz. Can I still get this game and play it without any problems that will prohibit me from being able to play it. I would also like to get a game that has a 1.7 GHz requirment and be able to get this game and play it without any problems that will prohibit me from being able to play it.
What do you expect us (Apple users) to tell you? Especially since you are not telling us which specific MacBook Air you have - as some of the recent ones have TurboBoost.
But even putting that aside, if the game maker takes the time and trouble to tell you a required speed, and you do not meet that speed, then obviously you should expect the game to function less than perfectly. If you are considering a 1.7GHz required game on a machine with 65% of that performance, you should feel lucky if the game runs at all, even with miserable performance.
The game maker took the trouble to lay out the specs. If you don't meet them, expect inferior, if any, performance. -
I want to share my project but the share menu is grey
I am using FCPX and have made a sequence and now want to share my project but the share menu is grey. I have used it a month ago and shared on line and made a dvd but now it is only grey.
Trash the application and reinstall. Most likely you have a software conflict. Most likely MacKeeper.

You can contact the seller and ask if they wish to make an exception but not all items are available to all places. It is sometimes the decision of the seller and other times law.

HT3867 I am connected to the hotel wifi network, but the login screen does not appear.
Hi,
I am connected to my hotel wifi network, but the login screen does not appear. I am able to access the login page on my PC, but on the iPhone it does not appear and just tries to connect to the webpage (e.g. google.co.uk), and eventually gives up. I've tried opening pages in Safari and Chrome, but none cause the login screen to appear. I have also tried trying to log into the login page that the PC opens when connected to the wifi, but the same thing happens. I am using a iPhone 3G with the latest iOS version 6.0.1.
Is there a way to make the iPhone try to open the login page?
Ben.I have the exact same problem as the original poster and I tried many times already the solution proposed by trstark66 and it's still not working. It's not working for both my iPad and iPhone 5. I'm using the latest iOS version available all the time. I have my iPad since 3 years and my iPhone since 1 years and I always had that problem. I'm an airline pilot so I'm always in hotels. I asked my colleagues who also have iPhones and iPads and they all have the same problems from time to time. And when I go in an apple store they all say that it's the first time they hear about that problem. I never have that problem with my PCs, my previous phone and my BB playbook. Only with my iPhone and iPad....since now 3 years...Always the same problem. I'm connected to the Hotel Network, I have an IP address but nothing popup to register with a user name, password or just to access the "I have read and accept the condition.../connect". And when I go in Safari or other Browsers, I am not redirected to a login page. All I have is a message saying cannot access the webpage because I'm not connected to Internet. I tried already hard resets, on/off Wi-Fi, automatic connexion off, forget this network, reset network setting...
My solution for now is to use my Boingo account. I connect to the hotel Network and then I use the Boingo app to connect to Internet.
But, sometimes it works the first time or suddenly for no reason.
Very funny, I was using Boingo on my ipad to write this message in my Hotel room because I was unable to use my free connection as usual. When I tried to press "Add Reply" it failed and I had the message "An error occured while trying to submit your post, please try again". The reason was that boingo was disconnected since I was taking too long to write this message. So I wasn't connected to Internet anymore. I opened a second tab in Safari and what did I see!... the login page to access the free connection from the hotel. This is crazy. Apple, you really suck with hotel/coffee hotspots... I tried for hours and nothing, now hours later I just open a new tab and it works. But tomorrow I know I will try the same and it will not work again. It shouldn't be that complicated. -
I want to print file labels but the avery ap doesn't support file labels, is there ant way to print file label from an ipad?
You cannot save to Dropbox from Pages natively, but there is a workaround that allows you to use the Copy to WebDAV to get things to Dropbox:
http://techinch.com/2011/02/02/integrate-dropbox-with-pages-keynote-and-numbers- on-ipad/
As to the "Send to iTunes" command "not playing ball", if you'll post specifics, perhaps someone can help you sort that out. It should be pretty straightforward.

How do I stop my iPhone 3 from tethering? Everything I read says to go to Settings>General>Network but the Internet Tethering is always searching. I've been advised to wait but it's going on 2 hours so I think I've met my "waiting" quota. HELP!!
Same with Bluetooth, as long as you're looking at the screen, it will be searching. As soon as you exit the screen it stops, so quit looking at that screen. You know your refrigerator light? You open the door and it's on...trust me, close the door & the light goes off .
