Need Help, Cannot figure out how to set up a network password

Also, i can connect to the internet, but the light in the base is always flashing amber

Hello, cb1981. Welcome to the Apple Support Discussion Forums!
Let me be sure I understand correctly:
1. You have an AirPort Extreme that is flashing amber.
2. You are able to access it via AirPort Utility.
3. You are having trouble setting a password for the wireless network.
Is all of that correct?

  • Need help in figuring out how to set up an IMAP Yahoo account

    Hello,
    I am trying to help my dad (who is 80 years old) in setting up his iMac and iPhone 4S with his email. His email address ends in "sbcglobal.net", however, he is able to check his sbcglobal email through Safari by going to Yahoo Mail. I don't know how or why this works, but it does--I've seen him do it many times. Even though he is logged into Yahoo mail, he is receiving his sbcglobal mail. And when he sends email through Yahoo Mail, it shows as coming from his sbcglobal account. I'm assuming that somewhere along the way, Yahoo bought sbcblobal or vice-versa.
    My dad went to the Apple Store because he would like his email to be "sync'd" with his iPhone 4S. The only way to do this is to have an IMAP email account. His sbcblobal account is POP---not IMAP. However, the Apple employee he talked to (during a One-to-One training session) printed out a thing for him that shows him how to "add" an email account to his "Mail" application on his iMac. I've seen the printout, and it's just the usual manner where you go to Accounts and then click the "+" button to add an account. But I don't understand why this would accomplish anything, because he already has his sbcblobal email account set up in "Accounts"----why should he do it all over again with the exact same information? The Apple employee told him that if he adds the account, it will show up as a Yahoo IMAP account, but this makes no sense to me at all.
    So I'm trying to figure out how to help him, and I'm trying to understand what the Apple employee was asking him to do by "adding" another Account to Mail. He already has his sbcglobal account in Mail, but the employee told him that it would show up as Yahoo IMAP? I'm VERY confused.
    Attached is a picture of what the Apple employee told my dad to do. How did she get "Anthony" as an IMAP account?
    Thanks much!

    however, he is able to check his sbcglobal email through Safari by going to Yahoo Mail.
    Almost evert Mail Provider also has a WebMail interface you can get to in browser.
    THe reason to set up a new one is safty, though it's possible to change the existing one, best to set up a new one first, then move any eMails he wants to keep to the IMAP account.

  • I cannot figure out how to set my apple id to use: itunes (two of accounts), apps store and Itunes store. How do I make one password that will be recognixed by all these devices?

    I cannot figure out how to set my apple id to use: itunes (two of accounts), apps store and itunes store. How do I make one password that will be recognized by all these devices? My apple id is constantly not working.

    Hi Lrwill,
    If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
    Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
    Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
    Cheers,

  • Wish I didn't upgrade! and now I need help to figure out how to make it wor

    I have a Windows XP Pro 2nd edition with IE ver 6.0.2 (but I normally use FireFox)
    I've never had any trouble with iTunes until iTunes "forced" me to upgrade my iTunes applicaiton to version 6 if I wanted to "purchase" music. (note to self: Purchase music from stores it's much safer)...
    I upgraded and received no error messages. Trouble is now, when I launch the iTunes application it doesn't "open" ... although the iTunes process begins to run in the background process (ctraltdelete).
    I have uninstalled and installed 5 different times and ways.
    First uninstall was "typical" uninstall. THat didn't fix it.
    Second uninstall was "typical" unistall from the Control Panel, and then I removed the folders from the "program File" folder. Still wouldn't work.
    Third unintall was "typical" then I removed folders from local drive and removed all "known" registry "itune" keys. That didn't work.
    Fourth uninstall was first a "repair" to itunes, and then a "typical" uninstall, then I removed folders, removed registry (does anyone know all of itunes registry keys? Maybe I am missing a few.. the only ones I know of is the "itune" reg). Then I looked through my start up menu from "msconfig" and took a look at my firewall program to see if there was anything preventing the program from running...
    Fifth uninstall pretty much fruitless as my previous attempts.
    I know it HAS to be a registry key of some sort.. here's why:
    When I uninstall and reinstall (no matter how thourough) every time I install the iTunes program Windows XP has never ONCE recognized the new install of iTunes as a "NEW PROGRAM" and it should!
    I need help... what registry keys should I be removing? ANyone suggest for me to remove Quick Time too? What about the ipod updater software? Any connection?
    HELP??????????????????
    THanks

    hi wmchisholm!
    Trouble is now, when I launch the iTunes application it doesn't "open" ... although the iTunes process begins to run in the background process (ctraltdelete).
    hmmm. is itunes.exe persisting in Task Manager? if so, first check up on these two possibilities:
    iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if firewall software is not up-to-date
    iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
    but if itunes.exe is disappearing after a few seconds, try the following technique:
    Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
    ... and let us know the names (exact spelling please) of the start-up items that you had to disable in order to get itunes to launch. (there's a nasty piece of malware out there that has been causing "error-less" itunes launch failures since late October.)
    love, b

  • Arg! Cannot figure out how to set Xfce theme.

    #!##@#!. Ok first I had to deal with today's xorg update and all the stuff it broke. I managed to get that solved. OK.
    Now I come back to Xfce for a while. I have been forced to use Compiz for the last month or so because I cannot change my freakin Xfwm theme!
    I HAVE tried moving the theme into /usr/share/themes. And it DOES NOT show in the Appearance preferences dialog. If I try to change to any other theme in there, nothing happens.
    This is the theme I am trying to install.
    Any other information can be provided on request. Thanks.

    I feel like an idiot.
    I just figured it out. *sigh* if only I had figured it out some months ago.

  • Beginner!  I need help on figuring out how to make a form display subforms/fields based on a drop do

    I am trying to create a from that will allow the user to select a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd request. All of the request will need to be a little different so I would like to make the subform or feild that are relavant to the request type appear and the other be hidden. Should I use subforms to accomplish this or ????? I have looked all over for a answer but I can't find anything that seems to work for my needs. Can someone please help?
    Thank You

    Thank You for the response! I was able to get that far but I am still having trouble. First, I was able to get the form to work even though I used postioned content. I used 3 radio buttons and JS to get the subforms to appear and disappear. (Request1.presence ="visible"; Request2.presence ="hidden"; Request3 ="hidden" each button has a similar script on the Click event) The problem occurs when you go from the 3rd button to the 1st button. Both subforms show up but if you go in any other order the subforms hide and appear properly. ??????? Maybe I am going about this completely the wrong way.

  • I created a photo album on my iPhone 4s - edited photos etc. but I cannot figure out how to transfer it to my pc (using Windows 8).  The only folder in the iphone drive is the one which has the Camera roll photos :( Help please - I really need the photos!

    I created a photo album on my iPhone 4s - edited photos etc. but I cannot figure out how to transfer it to my pc (using Windows 8).  The only folder in the iphone drive is the one which has the Camera roll photos Help please - I really need the photos!

    The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
    You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
    The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
    The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

  • I cannot figure out how to change the photo size on my iPhone 5s.  I was given the choice of small, medium or large the first time I took a picture.  Now I have no idea how to change it to medium.  Can anyone help?

    I cannot figure out how to change the photo size on my iPhone 5s.  The first time I took a pic it asked if I wanted smalll,  medium or large and listed the pixels.  I chose small but am now finding that is too small.  Can anyone help me set it to medium now?  I can't find any setting for that.  I'm a newby to iPhones and have no idea what I'm doing.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    By "sending" do you mean sending email?
    If so, what app are you using to take the photos on your iPhone 5? Or are the photos from a different source (saved to your Camera Roll from somewhere else, like a web page or Messages)?
    My guess is that Mail gives you the option to send different file sizes when it detects you are trying to Mail a really large photo file. The size of photos on the iPhone 5 is really big and some email providers may stop your mail from being delivered if attachments are too large. Thus, Mail tries to help you by offering to resize the photo.
    I suspect that if you are sending smaller files, Mail does not bother giving you options to save a smaller version. In fact, I have seen this behavior. So, if the photo is already "small enough", it gets sent as-is.
    To my  knowledge, there is no global iOS setting for this. Some apps may have different rules, of course.

  • I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help

    I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format."  Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist".  Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

    Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion!  "you need to copy that file to your new computer..."  Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export.  Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)?  Copy it to and from a thumb drive?  But then place the file where?  And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)?  Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

    The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000).   Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space.  I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone.  I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone.  I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this.  Thanks for any help.

  • HT1386 I have an 80GB iPod that was purchased in 2007 and I cannot figure out how to sync it using the "newer" iTunes format.  Can anyone help?

    I have an older iPod (80GB) which I used to be able to sync, but now the iTunes format has changed and I cannot figure out how to sync it.  The tutorial showed a page that should pop up when the device is connected to my authorized PC, but that page does not appear.  Any suggestions?  I need to sync my device to transfer newer music.

    If you have a PC, Control S brings back that familiar side bar on the left side. That might help.  I'm also going to askt he hosts to relocated this post in the iPod forum. This is the iPad part and you may get more device specific info there.
