You are in the typical catch22.. you cannot use the TC without setting it up.. you cannot set it up without Lion.. so you can install the latest utility.
Do you have any reasonably current iOS devices.. they can run the iOS version of the utility.. that will allow you to set up the TC.
Or invite a friend with a laptop running at least Lion
Or take the TC back and get a plain USB hard drive and backup to that.

  • I recently installed an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in May 2013. It replaced an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in July 2007. My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but the printer won't work with the new one.

    I recently installed an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in May 2013. It replaced an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in July 2007. My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but I'm having trouble with the new one. When I try to print, I get a USB Waiting message on the printer, and when I force a page to print by pressing Go on the printer, I get a page that says ERROR: syntaxerror OFFENDING COMMAND: true.  . . .cvt . . . fpgm . . . x . . .lglyf . . . <..J head . . .     STACK: / [    -mark-   /sfnts I’ve tried shutting down the printer and disconnecting it and the Airport, but that doesn’t help. I reset the settings on the printer. I upgraded the Airport firmware and removed, reinstalled, and upgraded the Lexmark printer driver. After I upgraded the firmware and printer driver, a few pages printed correctly, but then I got the same syntax error page as before. Any suggestions for getting the printer to work correctly?

    Use a powered USB hub between the AE and the printer.. the usb port does sometimes have issues.
    Try deleting the printer in the Mac and reinstall it.. the change in AE can represent effectively a change of printer.. it is important to make sure that is all up to date.
    Beyond that.. USB printers.. ughhh! Consider for two toners you can go and buy a proper network printer.

    I've a few issues, my old computer was out of memory.  I changed to a new one which already had another itunes account (for my business)  when i upgraded to os5 my library has dissappeared as it has syncd with the new computer.  Is there any way i can restore the information previously from my ipad?  really appreciate any advice thanx in advance

    Lynda-
    If you still have the old computer, you should be able to connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from a backup from a previous sync.  Now that you have it updated, you will not need to do that again.

  • My ipods Library won't sync with the new Library

    Hi, I had do erase everything off my hard drive to fix a problem with my iphone today and when I went to restore itunes, my ipod won't sync with the library. I get the message that I would need to erase everything on my ipod because its sync with another library and sync with the new library which just has the things I brought in the itunes store. I have a lot more music that the music I got in itunes. So my question is how can I copy the flies (music/videos/movies) from my ipod to the new library? Please help me. Thank You.

    You erased your hard drive without making sure you had a current backup copy of your music?
    You can try a 3rd party program to get the music off ( this is not supported by Apple).
    You can also try a forum search ( right side of this page), as this is asked and answered very often.
    Zevoneer ( a fellow itunes user) does a great job explaining the options.

  • My Norton Identity Safe won't work with the new version (4) of Firefox AND the new version isn't asking me to Remember my password info either - SO I now have to type in my password info wherever I go which is NOT a good thing. What can I do???

    I have Norton Internet Security.
    When I downloaded the new FF4 they said that a part of Norton wasn't compatible - and it seems that that part must have been my Identity Safe which holds all my password info & fills in all of my passwords for me.
    You say this new version of FF automatically prompts me to have it save this info for me, but I sure didn't see that prompt and now every time I visit my online banking (and credit card site, etc, etc,) I have had to type in all this info myself.
    This certainly is not convenient!
    It's bad enough I just get used to one system and you all go & reinvent the wheel -BANG!
    Hasn't anyone ever heard of baby steps?

    Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

  • ITunes app won't open with the new iOS7 update...what do I do?

    Tried opening itunes app, it comes up for a second then closes, not sure what to do...

    Hello Gigi,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes app after upgrading to iOS 7.
    The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the iTunes app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    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.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

  • TS1369 i have just registered my new ipod but it doesnt appear in the menu for me to update it with the new music but it has put music into my old ipod....do i need to create a new apple i.d for my new ipod and create a second itunes app??

    Hi,
    O already have a really old ipod and just had a new one which i have registed today but when i have downloaded the itunes app onto my new laptop i cannot see the new ipod in the menu to update the music i have just purchsed.
    Furthermore it seems to have put the new album into my old itunes so once i connect my old ipod i assume it will want to put it on there. I bought a new one as my old ipod is only 4gb and there is no space on it.
    Can someone help please?

    Registering an iPod or any other iDevice for warranty and support has nothing to do with the device appearing in iTunes.  For what silly reason would you expect that to occur????
    Honestly, it sounds like you have no clue how to use iTunes or sync media to the devices.  Might be a good idea to read the User's Guide for the iPod to understand how to use it.

  • The Apple ID has been changed on my iPad but the apps won't update with the new id and password, including the apps that came with the iPad so I can't delete and reinstall with new Apple ID

      What do you do if you have bought a used iPad and the apps won't update without the original id and password.  Can't delete the apps that come with the iPad and reinstall them so what do I do?

    Correct. An app can only be updated under the Apple ID that was used to orginally acquire the app. If that is a problem you can delete the app and download again under the new userid. If you paid for the app you will have to pay again. Your old Apple ID does not go away so there is no reason to not use it to download the apps.
    You cannot delete the apps that came with IOS. If you want to "hide" the apps simply put the apps into an application folder by dragging one app onto another. You can do this to all the IOS apps.

  • I have snow leopard.  My iTunes is 10.6.3, which is the current software for OS 10.6.8.  The new iPhone 5 requires iTunes 7!  Does this REALLY mean I'll be forced into purchasing either Mountain Lion?

    I have not ugraded, but I can on 1 of my apples, to Mountain Lion.  Much of the software I use is not compatible, or the compatible version is unacceptable (Quicken, etc.). 
    iTunes is 10.6.3, and it says it is the CURRENT software for my system.
    The new iPhone 5 requires iTunes 7. 
    I may be dense, but is there no way around this problem other than upgrading to Mountain Lion?  Maybe it is a strategy to sell more computers?  In any case I may simply bypass the new iPhone.  That isn't what would be the ideal scene, but it's an option.
    Any thoughts on Apple coming up with a solution and having the iPhone 5 at least partially compatible with iTunes 10.6.3?  Like they did with iCloud?
    Thanks,

    iTunes 10.7 is compatible with Snow Leopard.

  • My computer crashed and I lost EVERYTHING, and my Ipod won't connect with the new Itunes I got without deleting everything on my Ipod. HELP!

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    If you've wiped your computer/bought a new one...
    You should be able to:
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • IPhoto won't open with the new Mac update

    I just installed the new update for my desktop mac.  iPhoto now wont open and there is a big circle with a line through it over the icon.  When I try to open this application it says "you can not open iphoto because it is not supported on this type of mac"  I have had my mac for over 2 years and use iPhoto everyday.  Any help?

    iPhoto versions older than 9.5.1 are incompatible with Mavericks. Version 9 or later should be eligible for a free upgrade to the current version in the App Store. Versions older than 9 will need a paid upgrade.

  • Acquiring multiple voltage and current sine waveforms, and log them along with the respective time stamp in a file."

    "I am doing a data acquisition project using a 16 channel N.I. series 6020E card where I want to capture respective current and voltage sinusoidal signals. I am planning on capturing four pairs of matching current and voltage signals. I planned on taking one reading across the channels every fifteen minutes. This reading will need to be 60 data points per period or 3600 readings per second per channel in order for me to recreate the sine signal to determine the phase angle difference between the voltage and current. I was able to get one channel to capture a signal but could not get more than one working at a time. I am also trying to sycronize the data collection so all samples are with respect to each other. Thanks for any help."

    "Hi Cappy,
    Could you post this question to the Hardware > Counter/Timer or Hardware > Multifunction I/O forums? I think you will get more responses there. Here is a link.
    The hardware is usually a better differentiation since software can support such a huge range of functionality.
    The data rates you are talking about sound reasonable. Are you using the USB or the AT interface?
    One other thing to be aware of is that the samples taken will not be simultaneous due to the multiplexed nature of the MIO board measurements. However if you know the channel clock rate(output from one of the VI's), then you can calculate the time difference between each measurement and correct your phase measurements by that amount.
    If you have more questions, please post this to the other forum and copy all of our discussion to let everyone know what we have talked about already.

    I am using the USB connection. If anyone can help with or has a similar VI for this, it owuld be appreciated so I can work on the larger aspect of the total project.

    The easiest VI to use for this acquisition is AI Acquire Waveforms in the data acquisition palette in LabVIEW. This VI allows you to perform a finite acquisition from multiple channels on your DAQ board. As John mentioned the acquisition from individual channels will not be truly simultaneous. There will be a slight time shift from one channel to the next on the order of the maximum acquisition speed of the card, 100kHz or 10 microseconds in your case. By accounting for this 10 microsecond delay between consecutive channels you can properly calculate the phase shift between voltage and current.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 won't run with the new Yosemite OS. How can I fix this?

    Ever since we updated to Yosemite OS we've had so many problems with our programs. I can't even open Photoshop Elements 10. Is there any way to fix this?

    First of all, don't try to sign in. Photoshop.com is dead and gone and PSE will hang forever looking for the non-existent servers. Just start the editor or organizer directly from the application file and use that. The editor is this one, not the one at the top level of the PSE 10 folder in applications:
    Also, it's very important to delete existing preferences on upgrading OS X:

  • What's with the new maps ???

    Is it just me or is anyone else who has downloaded the latest OS6 for iPhone 4S massively disappointed with the new apple maps. Google maps had far better quality images.  Will they improve to google maps quality. If not, I want google maps back ASAP !!! Is it just me ???

    Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

    MapQuest also has a very nice app available.

    Nokia Maps is another great service that you can add to your Home Screen via a web shortcut.
