My airport extreme is saying that I need to upgrade the firmware to 7.3.1 but I can't find where to get that download.

I bought a new airport extreme on ebay and it works but as soon as I hooked it up it says I need to update the firmware to 7.3.1 and gives me a link to go to but it won't give me an option for that update. I tried the other updates that it gives an option for but none of them work. Help!

OK, if your Extreme is an original "round" 802.11b/g model you need AirPort Utility 5.6. The problem with that version is that Mountain Lion will refuse to let you install it. Other than that, there is nothing wrong with using AirPort Utility 5.6 and your older Extreme should work just fine with your new MacBook.
This dilemma is easily solved. You simply need to extract the app from the installer package using a package extractor like Pacifist or unpkg. Pacifist is shareware, unpkg is free.
Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
Download unpkg here: http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
When the AirPort Utility .dmg file finishes downloading, open it to expand and reveal the AirPortUtility56.pkg package installer file.
Directions for Pacifist (I do not have screenshots for unpkg but the idea is similar):
Open Pacifist and from its File menu, navigate to the package and open it.
Click the "reveal triangles" until you see AirPort Utility 5.6.app:
Select it and then click Install from Pacifist's toolbar. It will then be installed in your Utilities folder, and you can quit Pacifist.
Mountain Lion will not allow you to delete its existing version of AirPort Utility. Just ignore it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist. Launch AirPort Utility 5.6 and firmware upgrade options for your older Extreme will be available.
If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder instead of resorting to the above procedure. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
If you have an older computer with a version of AirPort Utility earlier than 6.0, you can administer it that way as well.

My printer has trouble printing some coupons.I think it is because it automatically save the coupons but I can't find where to change that in the settings. Any suggestions?

MY printer won't print some coupons. I have downloaded the coupon printer but it still wont work. I keep getting a message that says to change my setting so that it won't save the items printed but I can't find that option in the settings anywhere. Suggestions???

where are you printing them from ? I think it should be under system preferences/printing
or under your printer's preferences control panel. If you want a quick solution, take a screenshot of the coupon and print that (command+shift+3) or for a better snapshot command+shift+4..
usually they'd be saved as jpeg's, or bmp's or some kind of pictures. try looking in user/yourname/documents or user/yourname/downloads

HT2731 . I have maanaged to change my apple ID to my new email address but I know that billing info related to my old job is still there but I can't find where/how I can change his? Help please!

I have recently changed jobs but kept my iPad. I have managed to change my apple ID to my new (personal) email address which is fine but I know I have previously bought stuff from the App Store so need to also be changing my billing/account details but I cannot find where/how to do this. Can someone help pleas?

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

In Blurb trying to upload an album that I have prepared in Adobe, but I can't find any Adobe files that way.

I am in Blurb, trying to upload an album that I have prepared in Adobe ELements 10. To upload I need to navigate in my computer to whatever Adobe folder has the album, but I can't find any Adobe files that way. So I wanted to save the album to
an external drive where I could be sure to find them for the upload
But when I tried to copy the photo album, the dialog box said that the photos will be deleted from the main program. I didn't like the sound of that, so I chose "Backup" which seems to have copied everything from Adobe to my eternal drive, not just the photo album that I want. To make matters worse, but exported folder named for my photo album is not the group of photos that I assembled in Adobe.
How do I upload directly from Adobe the program on my hard drive so I can be sure it is the correct assemblage of photos?

The album photos are just the originals; there are no special copies in the album--it's just a list. Select the photos in the album, then go to File>Export as New Files and send the new copies where you want them.

Apple says Reminders works with Outlook, but I can't find where the lists are displayed in Office or Outlook once they are synced.

Apple says Reminders works with Outlook, but I can't find where the lists are displayed in Office or Outlook once they are synced. Any suggestions?

I'll guess you've already discovered the answer to this, but just in case:
Reminders works with Outlook tasks by syncing with iCloud, or through Exchange. You can't sync iOS Reminders with Outlook Tasks via USB/iTunes (like you can do with Notes, Calendar, Contacts).
So the marketing material on Reminders is a little misleading in that it's not specific enough -- there is no syncing without one of those intermediary systems mentioned above.
On a side note, syncing Tasks/Reminders via iCloud is not very good in my opinion:
Requires that you sync to the cloud, even if you have no other use for storing personal data in the cloud.
Requires that the iCloud Control Panel be installed on your PC (not sure about Mac).
After syncing, you'll find new Calendar and Task groups called "iCloud" have been created in Outlook. The calendar groups appear to be created even if you're only syncing Tasks/Remminders (not sure why).
Reminders are stored in the new group (noted above) called "iCloud" rather than in your default Tasks group. This seems to me to be a sort of "parallel" sync, rather than a true sync with Outlook. There are oter implications of your synced tasks being in the new group that I won't go into here, but you can search the interwebs to learn more.
In my own case, I tried iCloud syncing, decided that I didn't like it for the reasons stated above, and then uninstalled (Control Panel and new Outlook groups) with no apparent ill effects.
Though I don't guarantee you'll have the same results, it might be worth a try to see if it suits your purposes.

Default apps are part of the iOS and cannot be deleted. Search all home screens and all folders and/or search for it with Spotlight, that will tell you what folder it's in.
Also check Settings > General > Restrictions to see if it has been restricted.
If not found, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

Macbook: How do I uninstall a game on the macbook? I need to reinstall the game for it to work, but I can't figure out how to uninstall the game to begin with.

I need to reinstall the game for it to work, but I can't figure out how to uninstall the game to begin with. I know that in Windows, there is an "Uninstall" option, but I have found no such option on the Macbook.

This is one OS X's few weak spots. For most software, it is sufficient to drag the application out of the Applications folder and into the trash. Of course, this does not delete its preference files, etc, but these are usually pretty small, and can either be left in place or deleted separately.
Some software might ship with a separate uninstaller utility that you can run. Sometimes, the package installer can also perform uninstalling, too.
You can buy general purpose uninstaller utilities, but as far as I know they won't work for software already installed; only for software installed once the uninstaller is in place.
Perhaps the safest option is to contact the company that made the game and ask them how it should be uninstalled.

HT2490 menu bar at top screen mountain lion is on pop up mode, I want it to stay visible but can't find where to do that on the system preferences

I hate the mountain lion upgrade and have had more problems with it than good things!
Its reset a lot of things on my computer, one of them being that the menu bar at the top with the apple logo on the right etc pops in and out of view whereas I would like it to stay visible but admittedly I'm no computer genius but I can't find where to change this setting. Any help???
And mountain lion with safari blocks plug-ins so I installed google chrome which works fine so I can watch you tube, why can't I watch you tube with safari??? totally annoying!!!! I have the most up to date adobe flash player also but it always tells me its not up to date. No idea how to fix this but I hope apple fixes it soon. Really disappointed with the "upgrade"
I would appreciate anyone that could lead me in the right direction so I can function normally again.

If you can't see the menu bar using Safari, it sounds like you're using full screen mode.
Try Control + Command + F to reveal or hide the menu bar.
For the blocked plugin issue try here > safari 6.0 flash problem (blocked plug...: Apple Support Communities

Is there any app like skype or VoIpBuster?

Hello c.glez.az,
Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support. We don't currently have a Voip app in our Marketplace, but keep checking. Our marketplace is still quite young and new apps are being released everyday.
Thank you!

I need to change the display configuration of my macbook but I can't see to open the preferences (because the configuration is wrong!) - what can I do?

4. In case any of the previous operations work but the settings don't "stick". There are two plists associated with the settings:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.XXXXX-XXXXXXX.plist
The first is global to all accounts while the second is in your home directory. The X's are a sequence of hyphaninated letters and numbers. If you can get these removed then it will probably revert to a default resolution.

I recently updated my browser. A message then came up, saying that firefox would create a folder with my old bookmarks. But I can't find my bookmarks in it?

I'm not familiar with that message...
Are you bookmarks still intact and working normally?
Is there an Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop by any change? If the Firefox "Reset" feature runs, that folder should be created.

When I open a new tab, an internet search option pops up that Idid not OK or install. I can't find where to get rid of it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When I open a new tab, I just want it to be blank. I think it may be hijacked but I can't find how to delete/erase the internet search that pops up instead. It's called internet search and just has a magnifying glass as a logo.

Clearing the cache fixed this for me. Before doing this though, I HIGHLY recommend booting into safe mode (assuming you are using Windows) and run the latest version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php].
UPDATE: Well...that worked for a while. That page is back. I still recommend scanning your machine if you have not yet done so.
UPDATE 2: I've found that the application causing the issue is "Cartoonly", which you should see as an extension. You can't remove it from Firefox, you can only disable it. Search your entire computer for "Cartoonly" (even if you have ran MBAM as suggested above) and delete EVERYTHING having to do with that garbage. Your new tabs should be clean and the extension should be gone as well. :)

If you want to connect the AirPort Extreme to the MacBook Air via Ethernet, you'll need one of these (requires a late 2010 MacBook Air or later and OS X Lion (10.7.4) or later): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD463ZM/A/thunderbolt-to-gigabit-ethernet-adap ter
