New Apple TV has 2 problems - internet connection and remote disk

Hi,
I have a TimeCapsule as main router, connected to a wired Modem for Internet access. My PowerBook G4 connects to it wirelessly using WPA2 no problems connecting to the internet and the TC disk.
I've just added and synced my new Apple TV which has thrown up 2 problems, not sure if they're related: after copying the WPA2 password, ATV connected successfully to the network, but can't find the internet. It has a correct IP address on the network, I checked that in settings. As it can't find the internet, it can't register for my iTunes account, so can't sync protected content.
On top of that it has problems syncing items on the TC Drive: I have my main iTunes library on the PowerBook G4 hard-disc, and that part synced fine, but most of my movies and TV Shows are stored on the TC disk due to lack of space on the PB. Although they're in exactly the same format as the items on the PB, when I synced, I got an error saying the file type was not compatible with ATV, so iTunes obviously has problems syncing items on the TC although it plays them fine on the PB (well it takes a bit of time connecting, but provided the TC is turned on, it plays them fine). I don't fancy moving them one by one onto the PB, syncing, deleting, etc so I need to get that fixed.
Any idea on why either problem happens, and whether they're related?
Thanks in advance.

The modem is an ethernet modem connected directly to the Time Capsule, not the Powerbook.
I checked my ITunes account, it says 3 devices can play my purchased material, so that would be my PowerBook, iPod, Work PC - AppleTV missing. I need to somehow kick it into connecting to Apple's Servers and registering with them, which it obviously didn't do at the initial setup.
The Network issue seems resolved - I started playing one of the movies that wasn't syncing on the PowerBook, which started the Network Disk, the sync obviously didn't try prompting the drive to wake up. It seems to be synching those films now (which obviously takes ages, so can't check for sure until later).

Problem creating custom tags for site that has no outside internet connecti

I've created a set of custom tags that work fine until we install our app at the customer site. The customer site has no outside Internet access, and so the DOCTYPE is failing since it references the web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd located on Sun's site.
I tried copying the dtd locally and got it to work, but the solution sucks because this web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd file is referenced in both my taglib.tld file AND the web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd itself. Soooo....I can put in a URL that references it on the local machine, e.g.,
In the taglib.tld file:
<!DOCTYPE taglib PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.// DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN"
"http://ClientAAA/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd">
In the web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd file:
<!ATTLIST taglib id ID #IMPLIED
xmlns CDATA #FIXED
"http://ClientAAA/AdProduction/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd"
>
but that means for every client that uses this app (and we have several) I have to change that URL inside both these files.
I tried simply changing it to the relative "web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd", e.g.,
taglib.tld:
<!DOCTYPE taglib PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.// DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN"
"web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd">
web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd:
<!ATTLIST taglib id ID #IMPLIED
xmlns CDATA #FIXED
"web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd"
>
but then it is requiring me to put the dtd in both my web app root directory AND my jakarta/bin directory. I get the following error:
XML parsing error on file ../vtaglib.tld: java.io.FileNotFoundException: D:\jakarta\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.29\bin\web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd (The system cannot find the file specified)
It seems like I must be missing something here. This shouldn't be this hard. And it seems funny that to use custom tags, you have to have Internet access in the first place.
Help!!! :)
Thanks.

Yeah, I think it's a bit ridiculous that in order to make all the tag library examples and instructions work, you have to have access to the Internet. I haven't seen a single example on how to make it work if there is no Internet access. That's very limiting. And I've tried all sorts of other ways of doing it, such as
<!DOCTYPE taglib SYSTEM "web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd">
but even then it won't work because I get an error message saying:
XML parsing error on file /assets/../vtaglib.tld: java.io.FileNotFoundException: D:\jakarta\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.29\bin\web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd (The system cannot find the file specified)
I just don't think I should have to place this file in the bin directory. There has to be another way. Do I need to modify the dtd somehow? Cuz the dtd has the following line...is this messing it up??
<!ATTLIST taglib id ID #IMPLIED xmlns CDATA #FIXED "web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd">
I sure could use some help.

New iMac Cant Hold Internet Connection (and finds a lot of networks....)

Hello,
I have one of the new 20" iMacs released 8/7. My problem is that my iMac cant hold an internet connection and it finds a lot of possible networks to which it can connect.
I am certain the issue lies with the iMac because my old Powerbook G4 has no problems connecting to the internet and it is sitting literally next to the iMac. Furthermore, I actually had purchased an iMac about a week ago and that one had no problems connecting to the internet either. (I returned that one when the new iMacs were released.) So that means 2 Macs had no problems connecting to the internet from the same location yet this new iMac does.
One thing I have noticed about this new iMac is that it detects many more networks than my Powerbook or the iMac from last week. I live in Manhattan so there are networks everywhere. Sometimes the iMac will give me 15 or so different networks to connect to and seconds later the choices drop to 5 or so. When I try to connect to the network I want (my network) the connection doesnt hold and it frequently drops. It takes me forever to download anything. I have to write this post on my Powerbook. My Powerbook only detects 2 or 3 possible networks to connect.
I rebooted, etc. and that did not work. I shut the Powerbook down so that it would not "compete" with the iMac and that did not work either.
Any suggestions/ideas?

Hello Wireless groupies:
I have had wireless problems with my laptop and my power mac this week, but all is well for me now.
The grass roots issues of wireless communication in terms of physics are related to amplitude and frequency. The amplitude is controlled (signal strength) by the power setting of the router and the portable device. The amount of power in the signal is measured in watts per square meter and is controlled by the broadcasting units settings.
The frequency at which the router broadcasts is changed by channels available in both units. I believe the portable units scan each channel for base station transmissions just like the radio in your car/lorry . The frequencies associated with each channel on the base transmitter can be assigned by the user for the best reception in the local broadcast area, most likely your home. The area which you operate has many different interference parameters which degrade signal strength just as in your portable radio reception. In the base station world it is based upon digital transmission encrypted (D to A) into an analog signal then decrypted at the laptop from analog to digital signal.(A to D). Experimentation is probably the only method to determine which is the best frequency to operate between your devices.
It should be noted that the new Imac's have an extended frequency range because they use a 'N' class wifi set of components. The N class wifi allows for higher frequencies and extended ranges. A base station which is a G class wifi can only broadcast in the lower frequency range and hence the availability of the higher frequencies of the new Imac are irrelevant because the Imac must receive only what is is transmitted in the 'G' range, 'N' class reception and hence the benefits of higher frequencies are not available. The only solution is to have 'N' class devices through out the network, otherwise everything reverts to the 'G' class range of lower frequencies. The solution to extend the frequency range of the network is to upgrade ethernet cards and base stations, so that 'N' class frequency transmission can be utilized.
The network will work with 'G' and 'N' devices but the network is only as good as the lower class device of transmission and reception.
I would start by getting an extreme network airport base station and then experimenting with different channels at a midpoint power transmission. The best frequency would be one which delivers the most power at a set power transmission level (signal strength). The higher the frequency the greater the penetration through walls, beams, people, dogs, cats, pipes, tabletops....:). I would then experiment with the power levels for the range which you want to cover, most likely just your home and not your entire neighborhood.
In my house I use channel 6 and power level 5 from a 2wire gateway/router, which is in the G extreme class range. I have always used channel 6 but I have tried power levels 3, 4 and 5. The biggest interference variable being weather and cordless phones. The cordless phones operate in the 2.4 GHZ range and the 900 MHZ range. The phone directly above my router is a 900MHZ phone and it never interferes with the 2.4 GHZ wifi network. I think the worst phone to have with a G class network are the 5.4GHZ phones because they actually use some of the same wireless bandwidth. A 'N' class network would probably be a better choice if you want to use a 5.4GHZ phone system.
good luck

My iphone has internet connection and i can connect to the app store,but wen i go2 download stuf i hve to review my account 1st as i havent downlaod nething yet.. after i enter the card details it says your request is temporarily unavailable

my iphone has an internet connect and can browse safari, and it can also connect to the app store, but wen i go to download anything it says i have to review my account.. so i enter all my details and card details and move on to the next step.. but it says "cannot connect to itunes " and " your request is temporarly unavailable"

Emily,
thanks for your posting, it just reflects my experience (although I didn't contact the helpdesk, but after what you wrote I think I can skip that part). I am livin in China and buy from the German MS, worked fine until about a week ago when the download of an album stopped just after 5 songs. I have never been able to connect to the shop ever since.
The interesting thing is, that I get a response from their server in the domain phobos.apple.com (phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/storeFront) which I would interpret that there can't be a problem which they always list (Antivirus, Firewall etc...)
So will there ever be somebody from Apple who is going to give a better explanation how to solve the problem ? Or are there already too many people buying iPods and music ???

I have been using one apple ID for 4 family members. Up until now it hasn't been a problem but now that we all have our own devices how do I create new apple ID's for each of us and them move the approprioate things from the original apple ID account to the new ones for each of us?

Owning 2 iphones with one Apple account has = Sync Problems.

Owning 2 iphones with one Apple account has = Sync Problems. iTunes is thinking my old iphone 4 is the same phone as my iphone 5C. When I plugged in my iphone 5C it auto synced my 5C to iTunes and it wiped my 5C and restored it to the same content as is on my iPhone 4. This is a big problem since my 5 year old has been using the iPhone 4. It's all Mickey Mouse and Backyardigans. (Total photo/app/contacts loss)
I was able to update the 5C and restore from a 3 month old backup that is actually the content from the 5C but now when I plug in my 5C it wants to "setup as new phone" or "restore from backup" What's going on? I'm afraid to choose either option.
How can I get iTunes to see these devices as 2 and not one?
Can I use my Apple ID on both phones still or is this the problem?

They were both displaying the same name in iTunes. I changed the name of the iPhone 4 before the 5C was plugged in but it still went ahead with syncing it to the 4's data.

I'm the Adnin. just recently I tried to update system software (Lion OS). The following message was returned. None of the selected updates could be saved. A network error has occurred. Check your Internet connection, and then try again. but I have internet access )email, Safari, etc.). Any idea of what is happenening?

The error may be at Apple's end rather than yours. It could also be due to corrupted files on your computer. Try deleting the following:

/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/

My apple Tv has audio problems when streaming from my NAS server.

My Apple TV has audio problems when streaming from my NAS server or computer and even internet. I can hear the click sound it makes when you click on the icons, but when the movie starts there is no audio. This even happens when using XBMC. I have HMDI directly to my TV suing Apple TV 2. I have tried resetting, turning off both TV and Apple TV, and changing the HDMI cable. It is driving me nuts.

That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS.
