"New" Express (A1084) - Leopard won't recognize

Hi folks -
I bought a believed-to-be-working-and-unused Airport Express, model A1084, today. I swapped out an existing working wireless router and plugged it in. The light went solid green. I then went to my Leopard-based MB Pro and went to the Airport Utility, and it can't find the Airport and keeps asking me to rescan. I put the laptop next to the device; no deal. I tried holding down the reset button while plugging it in: it went green, but still no dice.
Anything else I should try? Really don't want to try to return... thanks!

Dudley Warner,
Hubs are always a place for potential conflict on the USB Bus.
If removing the hub from the bus resolves the issue here are a couple of tips:
1. Use a powered hub rated for USB 2.0
2. Unplug the hub from power, and the USB bus, and let it sit for about 2 minutes, and then retry with the hub. This resets the hub completely.
However, if it continues to fail, you may be best connecting your device directly to the computer. Several iPod models can use the iPhone's USB cable, so that might be an option.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

  • Imovie HD with Leopard won't recognize my Canon ZR40

    I have been making movies with imovie HD with Tiger for a long time. I have just now installed Leopard and 10.5.1. Tried to start a new imovie project and imovie won't recognize my canon zr40 which has been working with imovie fine until Leopard was installed. It says no camera attached when I hook it up and try to import. Any ideas? I know it's a Leopard problem since that;s the only thing that has changed in the last couple of years. Hope Apple fixes this because I'm dead in the water here.

    Figured it out. From this link:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61603
    I had an external HD attached by firewire on back of Mac and camera attached on front of mac and I guess this bus conflicts. Unplugged HD and camera recognition worked. I had this before a long time ago with an isight camera but not since then. Weird.

  • HT4527 I transfered my Itunes information using a thumb drive to my new computer and downloaded the newest version of itunes to my new laptop. My songs are all there on the new computer but it won't recognize my ipod and sync.

    I transfered my I tunes library to my new laptop using a thumb drive. I downloaded the newest version of Itunes to my new computer. My old ITUNES library of songs and books came across just fine. I can play them on the new laptop but they won't sync with my Ipod. The Itunes shows no devices when I hook it up to the laptop. Windows recognizes that the IPOD is hooked up. But no connection with ITUNES. Did I make a mistake in trying to sync my Itunes purchases to the new laptop before transfering the old library into the new ITUNES. If so how do I undo the problem.  Please help.  I use a PC with Windows XP.

  • My computer won't recognize my new keyboard, my computer won't recognize my new keyboard

    I just blew out my old tiny keyboard that came with my iMac.  I went out today and bought a new full sized keyboard from Best Buy with the alphanumeric keys.  I followed the instructions which read:
    Setting up your keyboard
    Plug the USB cable from your keyboard into an available USB port on your Mac
    Choose Apple>Software Update from the menu bar and follow the onscreen instructions.
    When installation is complete and you've restarted you Mac, use Software Update again to make sure all of the available updates are installed.
    I followed these instructions, and the best that I got told is that my iTunes was out of date, which I updated.  My keynboard is working (obviously, I was able to post this),  but it isn't recognizing the new placement of the volume buttons and such.  How do I fix this?
    Thanks!
    P.S.  I just realized from posting this question that my version of OSX - 10.5.8 is quite out of date -- if someone wouldn't mind directing me on how to update this, I'd be more than happy -- thank you anyone who is able to help me work through these issues.

    Oops, well, there goes that idea......
    The only other thing that occurs to me is that your OS is indeed totally outdated and won't be able to work with the keys of a newer keyboard.
    What is your Mac model (exact specs)? If it meets these requirements, you can purchase Snow Leopard (10.6) on a retail disk from various online resellers as well as the Apple store for about $29 - these requirements are both for Lion (10.7) and there is a link for 10.6:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949
    If your machine were to qualify for Lion, please note that although 2 GB RAM is noted, in reality you really need to have 4 GB if you want it to run smoothly. And, if you do want Lion, you have to buy Snow Leopard first, update to 10.6.8 which includes the Mac App Store and then purchase/download Lion there.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 and Leopard Won't Recognize Scanner

    Hi, I'm new to this forum.
    I am running OS 10.5.5 on an iMac (intel core duo processor), and using Acrobat Pro 9.0.0. I have an Epson 1640SU scanner, and it has worked fine through all of OS X including Tiger 10.4.11 and Acrobat Pro 9 on my PowerPC (G4 PowerMac). However, I cannot get it to recognize a scanner in Acrobat Pro. When I go to File, Create PDF, From Scanner I get the Acrobat Scan window but there are no scanners available (under Tiger with Acrobat Pro on the PowerMac G4 this window would then allow me to select my scanner). I downloaded the latest Epson drivers, and the scanner works fine with Adobe Photoshop CS3 (IN ROSETTA MODE). Epson had a note regarding CS3 which indicated to set it to operate in Rosetta mode (whatever that is) and the instructions to do so by checking a box in the Get Info command from the Application Finder window. Acrobat Pro does not have any option like that.
    Anyhow, am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else run across this? Is there a solution which allows scanning direct from the Acrobat Pro application?
    My current work around is to scan in CS3 or the Epson Scan application then to save the document and then to open in with Acrobat Pro and then to work on it.
    Thanks for any ideas, information or assistance.
    Barry

    the check mark by the scanner in the system preferences indicates That the driver is active. you wan to uncheck all the scanner drivers except any associated with Epson.
    what you do once you get into acrobat, is choose the scan device. which should show (choosing SANE). Now go to File menu and choose make PDF from Scanner. If everything is set you get a menu of whether you want front page only Both and so on there will also in acrobat 9 be some setting for Optical Character recognition and so on.
    Then choose to start scan after setting everything. Now you will have to wait for the SANE Scanner menu to come up. choose whether color Greyscale or line art and set the slider for the desired DPI. now hit preview. let scanner scan item them you can click anywhere in the bounding box to make it disappear and you can choose the desired portion of document you wan to scan.
    Ok and make sure you down only the versions of the components for the OSX version your using. each is written different according to the OS.

  • Leopard won't recognize commercial dvd's

    Hello.
    I first noticed this problem when I first inserted my Leopard installation disc. It didn't show up on the desktop. I then kept the disc inside the machine while I held down the "c" key and restarted. I then got the installation window and went ahead and installed. Whew.
    Things seem to work fine with the OS, but now when I insert a commercial dvd ( TV shows on dvd, a self made dvd, or for instance, a new Photoshop Elements 4.0 install disc, which I had to upgrade to today ) the dvd tray doesn't open and close. It opens well with a hard push on the eject button on the keyboard, but only wants to close with little half-hearted closing motions, or if I ( gulp ) push it in manually.
    I was able to get the PSE install disc to show in the desktop after a few trys and fortunately, I was able to complete the installation. But when I manage to get a commercially made dvd in the dvd tray nothing happens. It used to just open to the dvd screen and remote controls etc.
    I also noticed that when I try to run repair permissions from disk utility, a Sony dvd drive ( looks like the one that came with my power mac ) shows itself on the left pane along with my hard drive. Also, when I try to run repair permissions ( on the hard drive ), the blue and white progress bar just shows blue and white, fast moving and endless waves.
    Any help or advice will be much appreciated!

    Are you using known high quality jewelcase based media that hasn't been written or labelled on?
    Here's a website to find high quality media:
    http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia/
    Also are you burning at less than maximum speed?
    Are you sure the drive is known to handle that kind of media? Look at the System Profiler in Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info -> Hardware -> Disk Burning, and read the kinds of media known to be able to be burnt.

  • Epson C84, Leopard Won't Recognize

    Tried it all and I can't get Leopard to recognize my Epson C84/USB printer.
    There's a Leopard ddriver for this printer. Does it need to be removed. Does the Epson driver need to be removed? Epson support site is not helpful and email support unresponsive.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

  • New computer...won't recognize library

    My computer recently crashed. I have a new computer and have authorized it and downloaded the latest version of itunes. The problem is that when I connect my ipod to the computer, it does not recognize my library. It asks if I want to sync the songs, but says that my new library (which only has 2 songs) on it will replace my existing library. Also, the songs I purchased on the new computer will not show up on my ipod. Please help!!!!!!

    I assume you have stuff on the iPod you want to get back into your library first? ...

  • My Bootcamp (OS X Leopard) won't recognize my Windows 7 Installer CD and ejects it. Help!

    Hello, I'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate on my iMac bought in 2008. Unfortunately, when I clicked Start Installation on the Boot Camp Assistant, it says "The installer disc could not be found. Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized." The iMac eventually ejects the installer disc.
    Help!

    You need to delete files from the hard drive before you upgrade. I believe Leopard requires 9GB of free space, and then you also want at LEAST 10GB free at all times.
    Is the disc black with a silver X?

  • Can't Install Leopard, Won't Recognize Tiger

    Hi - I want to install Leopard on an iMac currently running the latest edition of Tiger (10.4.11 or so?). It meets all of Leopard's tech requirements as well. However, when I begin the process, the Leopard install system says it can't install on my iMac because I'm NOT running Tiger.
    This is incorrect - in fact, the iMac came with Tiger pre-installed, and that's the only OS it's ever run. How can I convince the Leopard install disc of this fact? I don't see any options for communication besides the "OK" button. It's doubly frustrating because when it then tells me I have to restart, and asks which disk to boot from, it shows my iMac RUNNING TIGER as one of the options.
    Is there a way to tell the Leopard OS disk that I DO in fact have Tiger currently installed?
    Thanks in advance -

    I'm most confused - not hard to do on a weekend morning with only one cup of coffee. If you have the retail Leopard installer it doesn't matter what version of OS X your iMac has. I used the same disk to install Leopard on top of 10.3 and 10.4 so something weird is going on. BTW, BootCamp should have nothing to do with it - my own computers had BootCamp beta when I upgraded to Leopard.
    What kind of upgrade are you attempting? Archive & Install or Erase and Install? If you are attempting the A&I what the installer might really be trying to tell you is that there's not enough disk space to perform that installation. Then again, I know that Leopard's installer is able to give that error message properly. The installer might be coming across a weird error when it is checking the drive so run Disk Utility and make sure the drive doesn't need to be repaired.

  • New computer - Windows 7 won't recognize my camera. Rebel T1i

    I got a new HP computer with Windows Home Premium. My old Dell with Windows 7 worked great with my Rebel T1i and the Canon software that came with it. I was so spoiled! Now when I connect the camera and computer.. nothing happens. I have un-installed and re-installed the softeware ( EOS DIGITAL Solutions Disk 22.2) and downloaded upgrades. No change. I don't know where to go from here. I hope someone can help. Is my problem compatibilty, "settings" or has my computer been cmprimised by a virus. I sure hope someone out there can help me.

    Yes, by all means.  Use your original software.  Updating Windows will not help.  All the drivers you need are already there.
    By uninstalling, I mean you MUST get rid of all traces of the present install.  If you leave any of it, it will still fail.
    That has emphatically not been my experience with those programs. And I've been using (and updating) them for about nine years.

  • New MBP, now iweb won't recognize me as creator!

    My previous MBP died, so I replaced it w/a new one... NOW I am unable to access my iweb site. When I click on the icon, it asks me to create a new page, & am unable to make changes to my old site.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    -my mobile me account name/password etc did not change from the old MBP to this one.....

    Kathy ~ You need iWeb's Domain file from your old MBP as only it can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
    Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
    Paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

  • New 'puter(Vista/PC) won't recognize old shuffle

    Hi -thanks for trying to help. I bought a new Compaq Presario PC w/Vista & downloaded the latest iTunes. My shuffle is plugged into the same USB port that I used prior to changing cpus & has the green light on but doesn't appear in iTunes list. In the left hand column I see (in descending order) Library, Store, & Playlists but not my iPod. I also read other postings & checked under Device Manager but don't see it there, either. I tried the 5Rs.
    FYI, under the File tab, there are listings for "Synch Songs Onto (My) iPod" & "Transfer Purchases From (My)iPod, showing that it is somehow acknowledging the existence of my shuffle but not listing it in the left hand column for my to click onto play from my iPod. Strange...
    Again, much thanks for your time & assistance.

    Can the HP PC get network/Internet access, via Ethernet, connected to any other wired router ... just not your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)?

  • Itunes won't recognize Iphone but device still charges

    Today, I had my Iphone 5c replaced after having issues with the software on my previous iphone 5c. I'm trying to put the data that was on my previous phone back onto my new replacement but Itunes won't recognize my device. I have tried getting the data back on my phone using Icloud but the backup data that is for my Iphone can't be selected as the backup data requires software that is ios 7.1 or later (or something like that). I have selected the option of "set up as new iphone" and just downloaded the software update but I don't know how to get back to the screen that shows the icloud backups.
    I have also tried all the recommended things for when the device cannot be detected with itunes (ex. reinstalling itunes, restarting apple mobile device support< ect.)
    If you can help with how I can get my itunes to recognize my iphone or how i can set up with icloud after selecting "set up as new iphone" that would be great

    Set the phone up as a new phone. Then update the iOS to 7.1. After the update is complete restore your phone from your backup.
