My Time Capsule disk shows on my iMac but not my MacBook Pro. How do I get the Airport Extreme mounted disk to show as an available Time Machine disk on my MacBook?

I just replaced an Airport Express with a new Airport Extreme. My iMac recognizes the external hard disk I have connected to the Airport Extreme, and my Time Machine is backing up to it. But I can't get my MacBook Pro to recognize the disk as available for Time Machine. Both are running Mavericks, and the MacBook is only a couple of months old.

Hey Tim Cargal,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
This article explains how to mount an AirPort Extreme USB hard disk volume in Mac OS X and Windows.

First, have the recipient check any anti-spam filters that may be present on her email account or in any email application to make sure that messages from Apple aren't being blocked. If she is sure that is not the case, go here:

and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

You can either use Office for Mac 2011 or use Boot Camp to run Windows or use a VM, such as Parallels Desktop to run Windows. Running Windows, you'd be able to use MS Office for Windows.

Backs up to iMac but not to MacBook

Hi
This is a tricky one. My iMac is sucsesfully backing up to my time capsule on its daily/weekly shedules, wirelessly. No problem.
My MacBook however is not backing up and hasnt done so since 9 Feb. If I open time machine preferences i see the attached image
offering a back up disk and an available disk. If I select the back up disk, the two options I am presented with are Cancel, and Remove Disk.
I'm not sure what to do from here so as i can start a back up of my MacBook to the time capsule, where my iMac is safetly saving.
Hi
Any clues much appreciated.
Thanks
Rob

This seems to be a bug that gets Mountain Lion messed up.
Reboot the whole network.. restart from off in order.. modem..TC.. clients.
If the issue still exists.. delete all instances of the TC hard disk in finder.
I suggest a reset of TM as well.
See A4 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Then using finder on the top menu, go, connect to server. Type in the correct address to the TC..
AFP://TCname or TCIPaddress replacing with the actual name or IP.
Once you bring up the TC manually the TM should be able to select it and then find the old backup and continue.
Tell us if you have more issues.. you might need to start over.

Images with straight lines are distorting (round) on PSCC on iMAC but not on MacBook or second iMAC?

Images are distoring (rounding) on Photoshop CC on my iMAC but same NEF file on MacBook Air or our second IMac do not show distortion. On preview, the image appears normal. Is there a way to repair PS CC or does it need to be reloaded? How can it be repaired or reloaded.
Hard to find the right technical expert - chat isn't working
Thanks.

You have some lens correction enabled or a graphics hardware acceleration issue. nothing that a reinstall would fix. Since you haven't provided any relevant exact technical info, nobody can say more.

SWF plays fine on PC and iMac but not on MacBook?

I have created an swf file in Flash professional. It plays perfectly on a PC and on an iMac.
Unfortunately for some reason it has white horizontal flicker lines that flash up every now and then on the moving text when the swf file is played on my macbook and other friends have tested it on their macbooks and macbook pros and they too experience the problem.
I installed google chrome and it doesn't flicker as much as it does in safari and firefox.
A friend told me to convert my SWF file to html5... I didn't have much time to find out why as my friend is very busy but I did it and found the the animation now plays perfectly in google chrome on my MacBook but still not great in safari and firefox.
I'm guessing the problem is with the macbooks and not my animation if it plays find on a PC and iMac. But why is this happening?
I created the flash animation with ActionScript 3, Flash Player 10. Basically I used the default settings.
Could there be a conflict with the ActionScript or flash player I have made it with against my browsers?
I'm no tech wizard so don't know what I'm doing. All I do know is that I have a grumpy client with an unfinished animation so I'd love some help from someone.

Many thanks, kglad.
A couple of follow-up questions, if I may...
1. How do I let flash publish my html?
2. How can I get http://www.e-tutoringonline.org/file.php/1/info.txt to load?
Cheers,

Both use Safari and both have exactly the same preferences set, so what do I look at now ?

I think you might have to reinstall Safari, may not be the only solution, but it's been on my mind.

Able to install canon bluetooth network for imac, but not on macbook?

I recently purchased the canon mx850 with the canon bu-30 bluetooth adapter. After a little work, I'm able to get the bluetooth to print successfully from the imac using only the bluetooth connection. The secret came when I selected the printer driver to use the CANON IJ connection rather than the default Canon driver connection.
When I've tried to duplicate exactly what I did on our macbook, the CANON IJ driver doesn't appear. I have only one driver option and that option results in an error message when I try to print.
Any hints as to what I do to get the CANON IJ option to come up when I'm going through the process on the macbook?
Thanks.

Care to share how you fixed this? I'm having the same problem.

How do i get the ipod to mount in itunes, it is seen by disk manag. not exp

ok i have worked on this piece for the last 7 hours and to no avail. I've tried the 5 r's five times, I've copied the usbinf.inf driver to the windows dir, even though it was already there. I've tried to get the explorer to recognize the device, no dice, (although it does show up in the management directory as a disk drive with an actual "ipod" label. I've changed the disk name to "M:" and that didn't work. Formatting is not an option b/c the disk is not enabled or so computer managment says. I've tried reinstalling itunes and itunes updater several times. I even downloaded the applications again just to make sure they weren't corrupt.
The message i usually get out of the updater is
"unable to mount ipod." ,(after a wait that has made me age several years).
Im at a loss not only b/c of the time ive spent trying to work this out, and all the forums I've read, but the reason all this started is the ipod fried my last motherboard, a Gigabyte technologies 8KNXP ultra REV 1, when i plugged the ipod into the usb ***!!! I've tried everything short of DOS prompt (of which I have limited understanding) to try and get her working, any suggestions?!?!?

Try following the steps in this article, and try to go about restoring your iPod again. See if you can't get it to work...

Also, it never hurts to try to put the iPod into disk mode whenever you're going to restore it.

Had a power outage and my iMac is on but the screen is black. How do I get it to light up again?

Your system may have suffered hardware damage if not connected to a UPS (Universal Power Supply), you can try doing a SMC reset, please click iMac SMC and PRAM reset for instructions. If that does not work make an appointment at your local Apple Store or AASP. BTW you can find UPS's at your local office supply store.

IMac will not print to a wirelessly connected HP C7200 on Airport Extreme

I just bought an iMac 24 and an Airport Extreme.
I also have an HP Photosmart C7200 wireless printer.
Both the iMac and the printer communicate with the AE just fine, individually.
I also have a Windows laptop that is wireless.
The laptop can print to the HP printer.
However, when I try to print something from my iMac, I get a message in the print queue window that says the printer is busy. But it is not busy in reality.
The wireless printer has a specific web address. the iMac recognizes the printer and I can even get into the printer's web server and see all of the functions.

iOS devices require AirPrint to print directly to a network printer. That would mean that the printer would need to be AirPrint-Ready. The only other option would be to use something like PrintCentral Pro (as you have) to allow printing. Another software solution would be Printopia and you may find better results using it instead.

Cisco Anytime Connect VPN working from iMac but not from MacBook Air with same settings and wifi network

Hi guys,
I'm having trouble connecting my new MacBook Air to Cisco Anytime Connect VPN.
The same configuration works with my iMac, in the same network and same Mac OS Mountain Lion on both computers.
After successfully connecting to VPN after a few seconds it gets disconnected and, what is worse, WIFI is not working any more in my macBook Air, I need to deactivate it and start again.
With iMac with the same settings it doesn't happen.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Did you power cycle the network? That's always the first thing you want to do if a device is "missing" or not connecting to your network correctly.
If you have not already tried this a few times, power down the entire network...all devices, order is not important.
Wait a few minutes and place the MBAir close to the TC
Start the modem first and let it run a few moments by itself. Then start the TC if it is the device connected to the modem and let it run a few moments. Then start each device one at a time the same way.

Avi files work fine on iMac but not new MacBook Pro

I've had an iMac for three years and recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I have a ton of .avi files (movies) on an external drive and have had no problem playing them on my iMac; however, I'm not able to play them on my MacBook Pro. I have installed Flip4Mac on my MacBook Pro but I'm still getting an error message saying "avi is not a format that can be played."
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for the help!!!
