Time Machine wireless setup failed, now stuck in an endless loop...

Oh dear!
I've had my TM up and running, backing up my main iMac and MBP without problems. I've had it configured to "join a wireless network".
This evening I decided to change this so that the TM would "create a wireless network", with the intention of retiring my existing modem/router.
Something went wrong somewhere along the way and I'm now faced with a Airport Utility message box reading "Airport Utility was unable to find any Apple wireless devices. Make sure ... then click rescan to try again".
I don't understand what this means. Which "wireless device" is being referred to here? The TM or the iMac itself? Having tried rescan a couple of times I thought I'd give up, close down the Airport Utility / Time Capsule setup dialog boxes and revert back to my original configuration.
However, this doesn't seem to be possible. When I reopen the TM part of system preferences and choose "Setup Time Capsule" it seems to jump straight to the "Airport Utility was unable to find any Apple wireless devices..." message. There are buttons for revert and update whilst the "discovering" swirlygig is playing, but these are greyed out. Likewise the manual setup button that appears thereafter. In fact, the only button that is clickable is Rescan, which takes me straight back to "Airport Utility was unable to find any Apple wireless devices...".
So I am stuck in an endless loop with no apparent way out.
Thoughts / ideas welcomed! Thanks in advance, Ian.

Could you be a bit more specific, and drop a few pronouns? What I'm understanding is this:
1. You have a Time Capsule
2. Time Machine was functioning perfectly
3. You wanted to create a wireless network (??? You lost me here. Shouldn't Time Capsule create a network already?)
4. You cannot set it up through System Preferences. (You're using so many terms that I can't tell what you're trying to say in the "However" paragraph.
Try using Airport Utility in the Utilities folder, found in the Applications folder.

Stuck in an endless loop during Leopard installation

I just purchased an IMac which came with a Leopard upgrade. I was successful in installing the upgrade initially but had problems with the IDVD application. I browsed for possible fixes and found one which recommended erasing Themes 1 through 4 under the IDVD directory and reinstalling ILife. Couldn't find a separate ILife or IDVD applicatin within the apps package included with the Leopard upgrade disc provided. I then thought that it would be easier just to reinstall the Leopard. Hence, the problem. I left it running most of the night and woke up this morning just to see that same gray screen with the apple logo and still looping so I turned it off. I have always been a big Mac fan from back in the 80s when I purchased the first generation Mac, but was forced to switch to PC because of work. Even so, I've always thought that Mac was far superior the Windows for ease of use and lesser trouble. This is the first time since then that I've finally decided to revert back to Mac for these reasons, but as it is turning out, I might be wrong. Need any suggestions on how to resolve this problem. I tried restarting, and it takes me back to the same gray screen in an endless loop. Not noing what the next step should be, I just turn it off. HELP!!!!!

No problem
Here is how you re-instal just idvd or other applicatons that came with your mac:

My ipod is stuck in a boot loop after restoring

My iPod touch 4g is in a boot loop after restoring
It will boot up but 10 seconds later after the unlock screen it goes into the apple boot screen please help!!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

ITunes Match Stuck In An Endless Loop...

When I turn on iTunes Match, it progresses to the upload stage, but it repeatedly stops within one to two songs and starts all over again. It will do this as long as I allow it to go without manually stopping it. In addition, it keeps dumping and removing song titles from selected albums and separates songs within albums which I have purchased singles from. Can someone please advise me as to how I can make this program work correctly? It has been a continuous nightmare since I purchased it!

I found this to be an "unofficial" ISP problem. I use WOW/Knology and I read of this happening with Comcast (surprise! surprise!). Evidently, the iTunes Match transfer was using too much bandwidth and WOW clamped down on this.
My iTunes Match was in an endless loop. Following all the instructions that I found about this in the support area did not resolved the issue. I did find two answers claiming to resolve this issue. Both mentioned "port throttling"--that is, limiting the upload speed on a specific port (https--443) or a variety of ports. I tried the easiest and throttled port 433 to 128K max and reran iTunes Match. It complete parts 1 and 2 easily. iTunes Match is working on part 3 currently. Slowly but surely--has has been working steadily for 16-18 hours now (my iTunes library is ~85GB). (The transfer listed each file as it is being transferred. It is interesting to see the transfer penalty of never throwing "anything" away.)
There are several port-throttling programs for the Mac. " Entonnoir " was the one recommended and the one I am using. It is a free download --the publisher does ask for a donation.

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.

Expanded content in-app purchase of $4.99 installs but is never available (does not work), endless loop of "restore content".

Once I upgraded o Mavericks (10.9.4) and GarageBand (10.0.2) I saw the offer for additional content – 200 sounds, 2,000 loops, 15 drummers... – and made the purchase per this article: Expanding GarageBand for Mac (v10.0) content with an in-app purchase
After downloading the content, system asked for my log in, went through the install, but alas, the content is nowhere to be found.
GarageBand menu, "Restore Purchases" available.
Choose Restore Purchases
GB downloads 10G
OS requests log in for installation
OS performs installation (no crashes, no problems)
But then content is not there and "Restore Purchases" is still available in the GarageBand menu. I've read the threads about the download crashing (which happened to me once), but this is different. I've tried resetting permissions, and now I've just installed a brand new SSD drive, fresh install of Mavericks and GB, and got the same problem.
Unless I am missing something, content is nowhere to be found. Any help would be appreciated.
"Restore Content" always available:
Where are the 40 lessons?
Where are the 17 additional drummers:

Your last screenshot is showing that the purchase installed:
You have more than the one drummer "Kyle". You can switch between different drummers by clicking the portraits "Rose" Curtis", Berry" and the genre menu, to bring up different drummers.
"Restore Content" always available:
This will always be available, so you can reinstall, if need be.
Where are the 40 lessons?
The in-app purchase does not download the lessons, but enables you to buy them for free. Sign into the Lesson Store, to download the lessons you want. It should now be possible.
Select "File > New" and then select the Lesson Store.
200 sounds, 2,000 loops, 15 drummers...
The 200 sounds will be visible, depending on the selected kind of track.
You will see 2000 loops, if you disable the default "Keyword Browsing > Filter for more relevant content" in the GarageBand Preferences > Loops panel and set the the menu at the top of the Loop Browser to "Loops" and "Scale > Any"
What do you see, when you set the Loop options this way?

Stuck in an endless loop?iz

I think my code should work, but it sometimes gets stuck. It's supposed to add numbers of type double and sort them from smalles to largest into an array.
This is my code:      //This method inserts a double into its proper sorted position in a sorted
     //list. Throws exception if the list is full.
     public void sortedAdd(double num){
          if (numItems >= LIST_SIZE){
               System.out.println("List is full, cannot add more.");
          else if (numItems==0){
               items[0] = num;
               numItems++;
          else if (items[numItems-1] <= num){
               items[numItems] = num;
               numItems++;
          else{
               int i=numItems-1;
               while(items>num){
                    items[i+1] = items[i];
                    if (i<=1){
                         items[0] = num;
                         numItems++;
                    else{
                         i--;
               if (i>1){
                    items[i+1] = num;
                    numItems++;
But, for example, when I have an array of size 3 that contain 3 identical numbers, like this:23
23
23and I want to add a smaller number, like say: 5.4, my program gets stuck.
It should be like this:5.4
23
23
23

Ok, so I got this thing to work, jverd, but I don't really understand it. Can you help me?
This is the answer, and in bold is all I changed.
public void sortedAdd(double num){
          if (numItems >= LIST_SIZE){
               System.out.println("List is full, cannot add more.");
          else if (numItems==0){
               items[0] = num;
               numItems++;
          else if (items[numItems-1] <= num){
               items[numItems] = num;
               numItems++;
          else{
               int i=numItems-1;
               while(items>num){
                    items[i+1] = items[i];
                    if (*i<1*){
                         items[0] = num;
                         numItems++;
                    else{
                         i--;
               if (*i>=1*){
                    items[i+1] = num;
                    numItems++;
The only thing I did was move the equal sign from above and place it below. I have to admit, I did this out of desperation and trial and error, so can someone explain to me why this fixes the code?
Thanks again jverd and I'm marking the question as answered.

Stuck in an endless loop

New to java programming. I have been able to install, configure, and run a JDBC application from scratch. It runs but it keep reading the same records over and over and over. I have searched high and low on the web for answers and my syntax look right according to articles. If anyone can help or see where the problem might be, your help will be greatly appreciated. Simple application, connects to a db2 as400 system to retrieve data and displays it on my dos prompt. this is for testing and makins sure it works before moving it to a domino server agent to run on. here is my code
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
class AS400JDBC {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Connection conn=null;
//Begin standard error handling
try{
//Register JDBC driver
String driver="com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver";
Class.forName(driver);
//Open a connection
System.out.println("Connecting to database...");
String jdbcUrl="jdbc:as400://111.111.111.111:1111:";
String user ="user";
String password = "password";
conn=DriverManager.getConnection(jdbcUrl,user,password);
//Execute a query
Statement stmt= conn.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT * FROM libe14ers.iascp025x";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
//Extract data from result set
while(rs.next()){
System.out.println("Connecting to database.111");
//Retrieve by column name
System.out.println("lockid = " + rs.getString(1));
System.out.println("lock = " + rs.getString(2));
stmt.close();
conn.close();
rs.close();
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e);
}

None of this will, in all likelihood, address your actual issue, but:
Close your resources in the reverse order you opened them. That means ResultSet, Statement and finally Connection
Speaking of finally, make sure you close your resources within a finally block. That is what they are there for. You need the resources freed regardless of whether the request was successful or not
Move the System.out.println() out of the loop. You are not connecting every time. You are fetching records every time. It is misleading.
Do not use SELECT *. Always explicitly label what columns you are selecting. Otherwise, another developer has to go to the actual table, describe it, and see what is coming out.
Please use the code formatting tags (see button above when posting). It is far too difficult to read otherwise.- Saish

Endless loop of restoring

I've gone throught the 5 R's several times. ITunes sees the iPod, shows its serial number, etc. but then repeatedly says it needs to be restored. But after restore is complete it repeats the "need to restore" notice. What's happening?

I'm having the same problem with my ipod - as soon as I finish restoring, it asks me to restore again. I tried reformatting the ipod (fat32), I've upgraded to the newest version of itunes, I've done as advised in the above link and changed the drive letter of the ipod (to H:), none of this helps. The ipod still works as an external usb drive. Is it junk? Also, how do I go about contacting someone from Apple about this? Right now, I'm extremely disappointed that there is no obvious solution to this problem, and no way to contact apple support.

Computer is stuck in an endless loop of "this computer is scheduled for sleep in 10 minutes" it's 2 in the morning and I am afraid

My macbook pro (2014, mavericks, I would tell you what specific version but my computer is sick) started acting strangely, the brightness button failed to work and things were loading slowly before I got the first prompt that my computer would be going to sleep in ten minutes. Now the window will not go away. If I cancel the prompt, it comes right on back with a fresh count down. I can't type or do anything or access my library because that stupid window is trying to take over my life. I've restarted my computer multiple times, put it to sleep, let the timer run out, reboot it in safe mode, and none of it has worked. I'm panicking. Please I am so tired I just want to go to sleep without all this fear in my heart. Is this because daylight savings? I hear apple can't seem to wrap its head around daylight savings ?? And that a year or two ago there were folks with a similar issue but their OS allowed a lil way to the library I don't have. Can anyone help me. I am tired
