Just Bought a GoFlex Net Media..Help

Just bought a GoFlex Net Media sharing device.  I've plugged into my FIOS router and inserted the portable drive into one of the two slots.  The green light is on but no status bar or recognized by pogo or on the mac.  Any ideas out there?

I would never run a used Mac inherited or purchased from someone else without wiping and re-installing Mac OS X. You can't really know how well it was maintained or what could possibly be on the hard drive - in terms of system security configurations, legalities, as well as just things that could have been misconfigured and/or create compatibility issues, etc.
Much cleaner and neater to just wipe and re-install.

  • Can't listen to an entire song in Itunes.  Randomly just skips the song in different places while it's playing.  Song file is not corrupted - even doing it on a new song I just bought from Itunes today.  Help :(

    I just bought a new laptop and transferred over all of the songs.  But I checked the ones that skip in Itunes in another music player and they work fine there - the files are not corrupted - and like I said, even a brand new song I just bought skips.  The priority for Itunes is set to High.  This comptuer has very high specs (it's a Lenovo IdeaPad) and the processing performance never even goes above 10%.  I am a Disc Jockey and this is a severe problem.  Please help...
    If downgrading to a previous version of Itunes is the answer, how do I go about doing that?   I'm currently running 10.5

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Just bought new Time Capsule, need help setting up...

    Okay so I already have my wireless network set up in my house with two airport expresses, I have the airplay and wireless printer set up as well. 
    Just bought a time capsule today and want to know the best way to set it up.  Is it best to use the TC as the "main" wireless router, connected to my cable modem?  Is it harder to set it up this way, am I going to have to hard connect the printer to set it up with the Time capsule? 
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Personally, I would always use the AirPort device that provides the fastest wireless performance to create my main wireless network.
    If you bought a Time Capsule 4th Generation, http://support.apple.com/kb/SP627 chances are high that it is the fastest device you own.
    I would set it as "Create a wireless network" and set the two AirPort Expresses as "Join a wireless network" or "Extend a wireless network".
    Enjoy your new device !

  • Just bought a macbook pro, need help.

    Hi everyone, I just bought a macbook pro 15" intel core 2 duo, 2.16GHz and the person I bought it from did not erase anything. I myself have a macbook but I bought this for my girlfriend as a gift. I am having a problem changing the name of the user. I have already changed the username and the password but in the finder, where it usually says "user" it says Elle (previous owner). So I was just wondering how I can change this, I have read other people's posts and a lot have to resort to erasing everything and reinstalling the software, but I don't have any of the software and neither does the person I bought it from. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

  • Just bought new time capsule- need help setting up WiFi network with another router

    Here ismy situation.
    I had a wireless network setup up at home using a Belkin wifi router.
    I have 2 macBooks (1 pro, 1 air) and 2 iphones that connect wirelessly and a desktop PC that is hard wired to the ethernet port.  In addition, I have a Verizon wireless network extender plugged in by ethernet.  All of the hard-wired gear is in our 3rd floor attic office (and the wireless signal was strong throughout the house).
    The Belkin wifi router was plugged into a wall ethernet jack that is in turn wired into a Linksys router in the basement (along with multiple other ethernet ports througout the house) and is hardwired to the Cable modem next to it.  All of the hard-wired ethernet stuff (including the router in the basement) was there when we bought the house, and I have no clue in the tangle of wires how to sort them out (but don't really think I need to)
    I just purchased a TimeCapsule to do wireless backups of my 2 macbooks, and tried to set it up alongside the existing wireless modem.
    Needless to say, this did not work well. I called  AppleCare, and was told that the TimeCapsule needs to be the "1st" wireless adapter, so I went into the basement, and connected the time capsule directly to the cable modem, and then out to the basement router.  The Belkin router still needs to be in the attic to supply the PC and the Verizon adapter (so it is near a window for GPS signal). 
    If I try to name the WiFi network the same SSID on both the TC and the belkin router (to have dual signal strenth coverage) the whole thing gets messed up and the TC cannot be "found" by the aiprort Utility software.
    What I have done now is that I have 2 side-by-side wireless networks with 2 unique names (actually 3, because I enabled the 5Ghz signal on the TC), but our wireless devices do not "switch" automatically from one SSID  to another stronger signal SSID as we move through the house
    Here's the question: How do I name them the same so that the devices will switch effortlessly to the stongest signal?  I understand it involves switching the "channels" but don't know how to do it right now.  Currently, everything works, so I don't want to mess it up tinkering.  Another caveat- there are several other wireless networks from neighbors houses that I can "see".  I jsut downloaded a program called iStumbler that shows the channels, but not sure what to do with that info.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    OK.. sounds like a mess.. or at least messy and the previous people should have left a log book with all the IP address info in it.. you have far too many routers.. but from here it is impossible to tell how they are configured. Most are probably just setup as AP.
    Naming rule for wireless.. Same SSID same security different channel.
    SSID ie wireless name to work on the PC side should have no spaces and no special characters. TC name should also follow that rule. So the devices need to all set with fixed channels.
    Don't worry too much about iStumbler and what is outside your house.. there isn't enough channels at 2.4ghz anyway. And you are going to need to use them all. There are only three non-overlapping channels. 1, 6, 11 so set each device to one of those channels. The TC should be as close as you can to where you normally use the MacBooks.. and turn on the 5ghz. You will have to leave it to automatic name so the Macbook can also roam across from 2.4 to 5ghz. But if you care to use a different name and force it onto 5ghz the speed is much better as long as you are in the same room.
    Roaming is great in theory.. often in practice it just doesn't work.. you need to step in and turn off wireless and then turn it back on.. you can quickly see which router it is connecting to by hold down the option key when you click the airport fan in the top menu area.. and look at bssid.. you will have to figure out which number MAC address relates to which router.
    Also do not be surprised if Lion gives you issues. It seems to often drop out and lose connection to the TC as a backup device even if internet is still working.

  • Just bought new video ipod need help

    Hey everyone...
    Yesterday I bought a new 30gig black video ipod.
    Using some programs i bought on the internet, i was able to convert the movie "Animal House" to MP4 and put it on itunes.
    The computer I did this on was my brothers computer since my computer does not read DVDs... I thought once the movie was in his itunes and in his library, I could simply drag the movie from his library to my ipod but it is not working. I do not know how else to get the movie onto my ipod. This is the second ipod i have bought and all my music is on my computer (Windows... not mac) Please help... thanks in advance

    Hey again... i dont think I really told everyone what was going on so sorry...
    I have all of my music on my computer and my ipod has that music from my computer.
    I was using my brothers computer to download this movie because my computer does not work with DVDs and i got it in his itunes on his computer. It is in the right format on his computer. I thought once it was in his library in his itunes, I could plug my ipod into his computer and drag it from his library to my ipod. That is what i used to do with my ipod mini but for some reason it was not working with the video. Is there any way to get the video from his computer to my ipod without syncing my ipod for that computer. Thanks again.

  • My iphone 5 does not charge anymore, and i just bought a new charger. Help anyone? Thank you

    Hello everyone,
    My iphone 5 is not charging any longer, well there must be a bad contact or something, because it works about 50% of the time.
    Thinking it was my old charger, I bought a new one, and I still have the same problem, plus sometimes it says it's not an official product so it doesn't charge.
    I've had the iphone for one year exactly, and I'd rather not buy another charger if it's going to be useless...
    Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

    Check the socket in base of iPhone for fluff and or any debris a common cause of apparent charger failure

  • JUST BOUGHT WRT54G LINKSYS ROUTER, NEED HELP WITH SET UP PLEASE!

    I've tried everything to get my WRT54G to work but no matter what I do I can't get past step ten on the CD. It asks for my password and when i type and confirm type it then press next it comes up with,  Router Configuration Error. Would you like to try again?
    I've been stuck at this for over two hours now, please help me
    Madi-Liu

    I had the same problem this past weekend.  The CD is the problem.  It is much easier to go to www.linksys.com/connect and first update the firmware (if applicable), and then use the EasyLink Connect tool.  I works very well.
    Good luck,
    Mike

  • I just bought an ipod and need help! Please.

    When ever I have my ipod plugged in, then open up itunes, it automaticly starts to sync my iPod. I set it so that iTunes wouldn't open up when I put in my iPod, but I don't want it to automaticaly sync my iPod when I open up iTunes every time my iPod is plugged in. Thx.

    In your iPod preferences in iTunes, you will also need to check "manually manage", by doing this you will have to drag/drop new content from iTunes onto the iPod in the iTunes source pane. Also, your playcounts will not update in iTunes when you are set to manually manage.

  • Just Bought an iphone 3gs need help

    Arrived this morning from apple. Trying to set it up, but where is the sim card? Isnt it supposed to come with one?
    Does it hav to be a special iphone 3g sim card or can it be any ordinary pay as you go 02 sim card?
    Thanks in advance

    Buying direct from apple? wasnt aware you could do that in the UK?
    I would suggest either going to the local O2 shop and asking about the iPhone pay as you go sim cards.
    Otherwise eBay may be a good place as they may have listed some iPhone pay as you go sims from the people who have upgraded from the 3G to the 3GS and purchased a pay as you go iPhone and then dont have any use for the pay as you go sim card that came with it. (well didnt exactly come with it, that you had to pay for)
    Good luck!

  • HT1933 Hi I have just bought a book on iBooks but it will not open as it says that it is not of the right format. Please help resolve this.

    Hi I am new to iBooks. I have just downloaded my first book. When I go to open it, it says that the book is either formatted incorrectly or not in a format that iBooks can open. Which is weird as I just bought it from iBooks!
    Help please.

    This just happened to me and iTunes support said they would send to Apple to investigate and reimbursed me for the books. I went back on my iPad and deleted the books and I got an iCloud icon with a down arrow after I deleted. When I clicked on the iCloud icon, the book downloaded and I was able to read it.

  • Just bought and connected iomega home media network hard drive but can't see it on network - HELP!

    so per the information from my other thread i bought an iomega home media network hard drive. i've attached it to the westell ultraline series 3 9100em wireless router i got when i signed up for fios. i installed the software that came with the hard drive but it's not showing up on the network. when i log in to the router management console it shows up as the first device under "network stats". what am i missing that's not letting the drive get recognized on my network? as always thanks in advance for any replies.

    Hello jarmin2411
    A factory reset from the web interface would correct this sort of issue.  However I suspect that using the pin-hole reset button should also be able to clear the issue as it seems to be a network configuration issue.  The network settings may have become corrupt during the update.   Using the device reset button
