  • I get email already in use and I do not get confirmation emails even after master reset when trying to sync

    I have tried all of the options in your support pages . I am not getting emails in order to reset my email. I did a master reset and it still tells me that my "new" email is in use. I do not get emails regarding recovery key change because the email stays the same . I can log in to your normal support page and I have just changed that password - that worked . . I assume that this password is not my master one . . When I did a master reset, where do I go or what do I do after that??
    Struggling now for several hours . . .

    This page does not help . . When I try to get a new key, it asks for me to log in - email address ok, but incorrect password. Request new password . . no email back to enable me to re-set.
    I have tried a master reset . . that does not help either . .

  • My time capsule is blinking orange and I can not get it to stop.  I have done a hard reset and unplugged it but it continues to blink orange.  This all started because the time capsule stated it was delayed in backing up so I thought I would try to reset.

    My time capsule stated that it was delayed in backing up so I decided to do a hard reset on the time capsule.  Now I am getting a blinking orange light and I can not get it to go back to green.  I have had to hard wire the modem into my computer for connection.  I need some help please.  Thank you.

    Assuming it is not simply broken, a slowly flashing LED probably means the TC is not receiving an IP address from the modem. Make sure you power down your modem whenever you change what is connected to it.
    Having to unplug the Ethernet cable from the TC and plugging it in to your Mac repeatedly so that you can communicate is tedious enough, but endeavor to add the power cycle exercise to that action.

  • The air port on my imac went off and i can not get it to work

    my air port on the imac weny off and i can not get it to work now

    Apple used to use airport name for everything.. is this the internal wireless card?? Or external airport router?
    If it is the internal wireless card, is it still listed in system profile.. and do a hardware test with your original CD.
    See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
    The problems with Mavericks are very great.. if you upgrade installed anything can happen.. a common feature is the internal wireless card fails to work.
    Give details and we can figure it out.
    Here is discussion about the same thing as I think has happened to your imac in macbook.

  • I am using my time capsule to back up and I can not get the green light, what should I do

    Hi everyone
    I posted a quesiton yesterday and when I got up this morning the time machine / capsule (not sure of the difference) had unlocked itself!. The other problem persists and that is that the amber light continues to flash and I can not get the macbook to talk to the time thingy.
    Obviously I am not very good at these things and I live in a country where I-systems knows about as much as I do!
    Thank you
    Gillian

    So you have never actually used the airport utility.. you were almost there.
    You posted this picture.
    Screen+Shot+2013-03-15+at+13.20.55.png
    Click edit button on that page.
    Voila.. airport utility in all its manual setting glory.
    Or install a decent utility.. 5.6.
    This is not required but to my eyes.. it is much easier to understand and has more useful tool items than later versions.. which are made iOS pretty picture like.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
    For screen shots see this post.

  • I am missing my saved passwords and I do not get prompted to remember passwords since downloading a recent update, why?

    I use AOL mail and saw a banner for a supported firefox download and I made the mistake of downloading the update. Since I have none of my saved passwords and I do not get a prompt when I enter a site for the choice to save the password. I am looking to change to Google Chrome if this cannot get corrected.

    I encountered precisely this problem after the first upgrade to iOS 8, also on a 5s: empty Recents lists, failure to log any calls and a badge showing a -1 (minus 1).  It appears to be a problem with corruption of the iPhone backup file, whether backed up to the computer or to iCloud (I tried both).  Whether it was introduced by the iOS 8 upgrade process is open to speculation as I'd had no problems with restoring from backup with a couple of prior iOS 7 updates.
    Restoring the iPhone to Factory settings solves the problem, but then restoring from a backup re-introduces it.  Setting the device up as a new phone is the only way to fix it.  Problem is, you lose your contacts and SMS history, unless you've used a third-party app to back them up outside iTunes.  If that's no problem, simply do a Factory Restore then set up the phone as new and the problem is gone.
    If it is a problem (it was for me), I found two apps that enable you to back up & subsequently restore Contacts & Messages.  Syncios is free and worked like a charm for getting my Contacts backed up & restored to the phone.  However, it can only back up & restore Messages if the device is jailbroken.
    This phone was not JB'd so I had to find another app for Messages: Backuptrans iPhone SMS Backup and Restore.  It is $19 for up to 3 devices but was worth it in my case; creates a backup file on your computer that you can restore from after the Factory Restore.  Very simple & straightforward.
    The photos, apps & music, etc., were easily restored to the phone via iTunes sync.
    Hope this is of help to others similarly affected.  Must be relatively rare, though, as even the Senior Apple Advisors I worked with had not encountered it before.  I made them aware of this thread, FWIW.

  • Excise rate and value is not getting defaulted from the purchase order

    Hi all,
    While capturing excise invoice , the excise rate and value is not getting defaulted from the purchase order and in Excise Item Tab BED,AED,ECS is Zero at both header as well as item level for only one material in STO process and if we are doing same process taking other material all things are coming perfectly and We are maintaining condition with respect to vendor,plant and material combination.Any input related to this will be helpfull and rewarded.
    Regards
    Vishal

    Hi,
    Follow STO Process for this;
    1.Create a vendor for the company code of receiving plant, using account group: 0007 using T-Code XK01.
    2. Assign this vendor to Delivering plant
    Go to XK02 >Purchasing view>Extras>Add. Purchasing data>Plant
    3. Create internal customer with the sales area of the vendor. Go To XD01
    4. In pricing procedure determination relevant to STO, assign document Pricing Procedure and customer pricing procedure appropriate for STO to get the pricing in the invoice.
    5. Maintain condition records for the relevant pricing condition.
    6. Some more setting for STO: Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > define shipping data for plants > Go to Receiving plant >assign customer here & Supplying SA (for billing) to Receiving plant here
    7. Go to MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > define shipping data for plants > Go to Supplying plant and assign the sales area of receiving plant.
    8. Go to MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > assign delivery Type & Checking rule
    Assign the delivery type to document type. In this case, Delivery type NLCC is assigned to Document type NB
    9. Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > Assign document Type, One step Procedure, Under delivery tolerance
    Assign the document type NB to supplying plant and receiving plant
    10. After all settings, Create the STO using T-Code: ME21N and maintain pricing conditions of freight and Save.
    11. In supplying plant Maintain condition record in sales using VK11 the same will flow in receiving plant when referring the OBD no during MIGO.
    10. Create Delivery: VL10G

  • How do I move files from my iMac to my Airport without getting 'AirPort can not be modified' message. File sharing is enabled and I'm not getting asked for a password. Thanks

    How do I move files from my iMac to my Airport without getting 'AirPort can not be modified' message. File sharing is enabled and I'm not getting asked for a password. Thanks

    What OS are you running.. this is usually only a problem in Mavericks.
    If so I recommend you mount the hard disk manually..
    Use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in the IP address if static.. eg
    AFP://10.0.1.1
    Or the name.. but you will have issues unless the name is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. if you are using bad names.. fix it by a full factory reset in airport utility and give it all names that comply to the above.
    Type in
    AFP://TCname.local Where TCname is replaced with the actual name.
    You will be asked for the password the first time which is public unless you changed it.. please remember to save this in the keychain.
    Copy files then to a new directory you create on the TC.. do not place files inside the TM sparsebundle. Nor directly under the main directory.

  • Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

    Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.  Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices.  After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected.  Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP.  Any solutions other than turning it on and off again?  Not a Merry Christmas morning.

    Ok, so, a couple of things:  Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod.  Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
    Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel.  Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem.  Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet.  Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod. 
    Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

    The hotspot works well on other laptop and I-devices, but not my toshiba...
