Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and  TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
Hmm, ideas anyone?

  • I just bought my company boss's iphone 3gs and want to set it up in my PC without loosing the apps on it.

    I just bought my company boss's iphone 3gs and want to set it up in my PC without losing the apps & music already on  it.  I have  already got a library for my old iphone 3g and was wondering how to go about it. 
    cheers

    That's called stealing, plain & simple. Your boss(or anyone for that matter) does not have the right to distribute any content, for any reason. The SLA does not permit such. When you plug the phone into your computer, all iTunes content will be erased from the phone, as it should be. You want content, purchase your own.

  • I am trying to connect my ipad to the internet via wifi/3g wireless router/wireless dongle..it finds the router but not the dongle connected to it..any help appreciated

    HI...just purchased a new ipad 2 16gb wifi only... Was also sold a 3g wireless modem so that i could connect it to my already owned wireless internet dongle.. upon trying to set it up  i can get the Ipad to find the wireless router but thats it.

  • Why wont my mac find my time capsule when hard wired with an ethernet cable

    Im truying to connec to my time capsle with an ethernet cable and my macbook pro wont fnd it?

    How old is the TC?
    Is the TC setup to join a wireless network? If so TC turns off the ethernet ports.. strange but true.
    If neither of the above.. it is just normal ML networking with wet string standard.
    Reboot the TC.. Reboot the whole network.. restart in order.. modem, router. TC.. other network equipment.. clients.. (some of these are probably one and the same device.. leave 2min between each).

  • I just upgraded to ITunes version  10.6.0.40 and now I am having trouble connecting to my Airport Express.  I get error message 15000.  I am connecting with an ethernet cable so it is not a wireless problem.  Any ideas?

    I just upgraded to iTunes version 10.6.0.40 and now I am having problems connecting to my Airport Express and I get an error message 15000.  Does anyone know what that means?  I am using an ethernet cable so it is not a wireless problem.  Trying to find out if this is realated to the iTunes upgrade.  Any ideas out there?

    Sure...

  • HT4972 I have just updated to iOS 6 on my iPad, and when it came back on, I cannot find Utube.  It was on the main screen.  Where is it now?

    I have just updated my new iPad to Iso 6, and when the iPad came back on, I cannot find the Utube icon?
    Is it still on my iPad?
    If so where will it be, or how can I get it back on?
    Thanks.

    Apple removed the YouTube connection.  Google has an app you can use but it needs some work.

  • I just bought Apple Tv.  Everything is hooked up and home sharing is turned on (imac, ipad, apple tv).  When i play my itunes through my tv the song will play for apprx. 45 to 60 seconds and then cuts off and goes back to the main menu.

    I just purchased Apple Tv 2.  Hooked it up and everything is set on Home Sharing.  When i attempt to play itunes through  my tv the song will only play for approx. 45-60 seconds and then the Main Menu comes on and the song quits.  Same goes for when I put my photos on.

  • Just bought new replacement iphone from apple store and less than two hours later, the screen went blurry and I can barely see anything. Phone still functions fine though.

    Just bought a new replacement phone at the apple store and as soon as I got home, vertical lines came up through the screen and now it's extremely blurry. All the functions of the phone still work fine and I really can't see anything except a small part of the screen at the top. I called the apple store and he told me to put the phone in recovery mode on my computer and the restore and update it. I did this and I can tell the phone has restored yet it is still extremely blurry and I can't see anything to type it in. Is there anything I could do with this? The apple store is over an hour away and saving another trip down there would be great. Thanks

    Bad luck. Take ti back.

  • Remote Desktop Connection with single Ethernet cable

    Hi,
    I'd like to be able to use Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection app to connect to one of my XP machines with my PowerBook. I can do this when everything is running on my home LAN, but I'd like to be able to connect with just a single Ethernet cable connected from my PowerBook's network port to the network card of the XP machine. This would allow me to use the PowerBook as a monitor when I bring the XP machine offsite to run tests (I'm a computer technician). I've played with the Network settings in the System Preferences, but things that would seem to me to work don't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    When you're on the road, and these are the only machines connected to each other, you will either need to configure them to have static IP's in the same subnet
    192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3
    255.255.255.0
    no gateway/router IP required.
    THey'll need to be in the same workgroup (but you probably have that already)
    ...or...
    Configure the XP machine to be the DHCP server, and the mac to get IP from XP.
    (first option is probably better.)
    Might need a crossover cable. Might not.

    Well, thanks for trying. Actually, I don't believe Huffyuv uses even the color space YV12 (it's primarily designed for YUV, but, does support RGB.) Well, that codec would have been something I would consider using for the intermediate lossless videos, but, it won't install. The installer tells me I need quicktime 4.1.2 or later. I'm guessing it's one of those poorly written installers that just check for a built-in set of version numbers and refuse under the assumption it's too old if the program isn't one of those numbers.
    Anyway, due to time concerns, I'm forced to just go ahead and use only WMV. I would like to request that they consider adding support for HuffYUV as it is a common thing to use when one wants to work with lossless video (often used for intermediate video files or video captures.) I understand AVISynth may be impossible because QuickTime doesn't use the less reliable DirectShow method of decoding, but, HuffYUV shouldn't be too hard to support (especially since it is open source.)

  • Why can't my g3 work with my car stereo while connected with the usb cable? It works via the bluetooth, but I get no song info on the radio.

    Any ideas?

        Thank you for reaching out to us, jmush. There are so many options to listen to music from cars nowadays. It's awesome and really convenient. Unfortunately, some features may not work correctly due to software both from devices and headunits. While, bluetooth can display your phone name and contacts, it may not display song ID3 tags, etc.
    With regards to plugging it in via the USB cable, you can try setting your phone to storage mode, and the headunit may be able to read stored music found in your phone, but it may not be compatible. http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-113331/

  • My internet connection stopped working (I can't even get a connection with an Ethernet cable). I "accidently" let my laptop be upgraded to a later version of Firefox. How do I dump it and go back to the earlier verision which worked well?

    Enough is enough.

    I've had the same problem a couple times now. Firefox seems to magically update itself anytime my computer gets unplugged and shuts down; when I restart my computer it loads a new update to firefox and voila! no internet access. Does it tell you that Firefox is configured to a server that's not accepting connections? I found what looks like a maybe promising solution here- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls - under "Windows Firewall" (which may be my problem) but if that's not it the only thing I've found to do is, using my husband's computer (which he never seems to delete install packages from) load the files for Firefox 3.6.3 onto an SD card and keep it handy. It's irritating, but it works. If you need the installer package, let me know and I'll email it to you.

  • Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone or iPad.

    Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Mac doesn't have iCloud, preferences still shows MobileMe. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone 3 or 1-1/2 year old iPad. I suspect I need to update OS, but as software update isn't telling me to do so, can I? What version would I need to go to?

    Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.
