Problems with my Airport Snow. Please someone help!
I had an airport snow base station for a couple of years. I bought it used, and after some initial difficulty, I manage to set it up and it worked fine for a little while. At some point it started failing to connect and started giving me a message that it was looking for PPoE. I am using a cable connection, and the station is connected with the cable modem. I was told that PPoE is a protocol that is not used by that connection. The advise was to unplug everything and reboot. Most of the time it worked, then it started getting harder. Everytime I gave up, and retry days later, it usually worked.
Now something else is happening. When I connect it, it works fine at first, then the signal starts getting weaker and weaker until it just goes to zero, at which point no rebooting works I have to connect with the cable directly into the computer.
I know I am computer illiterate, but I don't know who to ask. The couple of friends of mine who are competent can't figure out what the problem is. Apple would not talk to me because I don't have a protection plan. The cable people are completely clueless...
I would really appreciate it if some of you could give me a hand. If the thing is useless, then I'll have to be patient and wait for a little while until I have 100 dollars to buy a new one...
Thanks
Problems 1 through 4 are the topic of many (often long) past discussions in this forum. Though I hate to say it, I have yet to see anything that comes close to a "solution" for the problems you describe. Sometimes, Problem #3 results from radio interference which might be alleviated by changing the default channel the base station transmits on.
Unlike every non-Apple router on the market, Apple's Airport Base Station must be configured using Apple's own "Airport Utility" software application. It is not possible to configure an Airport Base Station using a web browser.
Regrettably, in your case it sounds like you would be better off continuing to use your previous Linksys wireless router.

Big problem installing... Please someone help :-(
Ok I started up the bootcamp assistant (with my windows xp disc already in the MacBook) and continued to partition the drive as shown on the video demonstration on the apple website. I believe I gave it 80gb for windows and the rest of the 250gb to the mac. I believe this was about 70gb. Now once the partitioning was done the windows installer automatically came up without me pressing anything. It went through a short installation process on a blue screen and came up with the option to choose a partition.
This is where I realised there was an issue. There was only one option present for the partitions. This partition was called partition 1 and had around 120gb all of which was available. I thought this didn't look correct so I quit out. A warning came up saying that the installation wasn't complete. Now when I start the mac is goes to a plane black screen. If I start it up holding the alt key it only displays one hard drive named windows.
I am now very worried all my stuff stored on the mac is is gone. Can someone please explain what I did wrong because I didn't format the drive or anything and so did not delete anything at all on the hard drive. I feel like everything should be there but I can't get into it. Putting in my os install disc didn't help at all. Please someone help!I think its that its tried to install it on my initial partition for some reason. But like I said I did not even go far enough to choose a partition. It did some installation stuff on the blue screen without me pressing a single button. The minute it wanted me to pick a partition and then format it I realised there was something wrong and backed out. I have no idea why it is now coming up as windows. My main question really is: is there anyway to get it back to what it was? I would really appreciate any help on this matter as I feel a bit out of my depth
NOTE: I realise it was ridiculous of me to do it without first backing up all my data, however the video made it look fool-proof and also I only was planning at that point to create the partition first. But as soon as I created the partition the blue screen came up and it started to install. I pressed nothing at all at that point, and it didnt take very long so I couldnt see how it would delete all my data.

I need some help! I was able to download my HP printer software on to my Macbook Pro, but cannot find the Scan feature on the computer to be able to scan a document. If someone could LMK what I need to do, or where I need to look to find this I would appreciate it!
That would be a function of the driver that came with the printer. Make sure you have the latest driver appropriate to your system, either from HP or:

Memory install problems with my iMac. Can someone help me?
I read several post before leave it my question here—like having similar RAM memory problems—but looks like nobody has the right answer. This is my dilemma.
I have an iMac/Intel Core 2 Duo/2.8 GHz/RAM 2 GB/800 MHz,(Anodized Aluminum) 1st Generation - Summer 2007 Family, and has many others here I bought an extra 2GB module in hope to boost the memory from 2GB to 3GB (the new 2GB memory module and the old 1GB).
I did the installation, making sure they fully seat into their sockets, turn on the computer, checking if the computer recognize the new memory module... and everything went right until I started working with the computer.
The first indication of a problem happen 15 min. after I installed the memory. The computer crash and I follow the normal procedures to restart the Mac. No problems for about one hour.
The second time the computer crash I was working an InDesign file, I did turn off and on the computer but this time it didn't work. There was no beep or other sound, nothing was shown on the screen. I took the new memory module out and replace it for the old 1GB.
Now is working just fine. Is this an Apple scam to make us buy expensive Apple memory modules? The module in question, the one that I bought brand new from memory.com for just $26—instead of the outrageous price of $100 from Apple Store—in as follow:
2GB DDR2-800 non ECC SO-DIM
This is the recommended module for iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 24-inch at memory.com
http://www.memory.com/net/System.aspx?model=37204
I wondering if my problem could be the use of two different configurations (2GB+1GB modules) or is just a "conspiracy theory" that Apple want to make us buy expensive RAM memory.
If I bought a "wrong module", why the computer recognize the upgrade and I was able to work, at least for 2 hrs?sergei63,
It seems you did not purchase the correct memory! The memory for mid 2007 iMac (first generation Aluminum machines) is:
667 MHz, PC2-5300, DDR2 compliant (also referred to as DDR2 667)
Look in your owners manual and you will find this information. As you are finding out your machine will not run if it has incorrect memory in it.
My suggestion is return the RAM you received and purchase the specification listed above.

I have a unique problem with my playlists. Can someone help?
The playback of the playlist is fine, as far as I know the music files are fine, but my problem is when I go back to listen to a playlist that I was listening to last, it skips backwards in the playlist.
optical is only going to give those speakers 5. on content that is encoded in dolby digital. That is pretty much limited to dvd's. You either have to use Dolby Digital Li've when converts everything to Dolby Digital or use the analog connections. If you are using a X-Fi you can buy or use a optical cable and buy the <a target="_self" rel="nofollow" href="http://buy.soundblaster.com/_creativelabsstore/cgi-bin/pd.cgi?page=product_detail&category=Software&pid=F 2222DDN6Z2H2ADDEZD">Dolby Digital Li've Pack. The analog way will cause you way less headaches. In the Playback tab of the Windows Vista sound panel there should only be 3 options there. ATI HDMI, Speakers, SPDIF. All the other connections you saw were in the Recording tab. If those are being detected it's most likely because the pins on the front bay aren't aligned correctly. If you installed the drivers from the website none of the other software is included with it and you have to download it seperately. You can still change modes with the Creative Audio Control Panel. That should be in the Creative listing in the programs menu. If you want to enable EAX you have to download and install Alchemy for games that use the Directsound3D engine. Games that use the OpenAL engine don't need it. Here is a <a target="_self" rel="nofollow" href="http://connect.creativelabs.com/alchemy/Lists/Games/AllItems.aspx">list of games[/url] that require alchemy to work.

why is "erase junk mail" de-highlighted in the drop down menus. I'm not able to delete my junk mail box without doing each one individually. Simple, but please someone help with an answer. Thanks.
My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

I changed my itunes password only and now I can't update any of the apps I downloaded using the old password. I tried signing in with the old password with no luck. Can someone help please?
Have you signed out of your iTunes account on the device/computer that you are using and signed back in with the updated password ? That should 'refresh' the account on it, and you should be able to use the account's new password to download updates to its apps

Try the following:

Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order -
There's a billing problem with a previous purchase. please update your payment method. I need a help on how to clean up all my last records for me to use another Visa card again or Master Card.

25k Limit in iTunes Match? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!
I have been collecting music steadily for almost 25 years now. In 2009, before selling them on eBay, I had over 2,000 CDs in my collection. At that point I ripped them all into iTunes and stored the files on an external drive. I have continued to steadily collect music since then...ripping CDs borrowed from friends, free (and legal) downloads, bit torrent concert DLs from places like Archive.org and yes, many purchases from the iTunes store.
Currently I have 45,962 songs, weighing in at just shy of 264 GB. I have a 260 GB iPod Classic which I LOVE, but unfortunately outgrew quite some time ago (260 actually means 241 or so). Needless to say, I have very eclectic taste in music, and one thing I LOVE to do is listen to my ENTIRE collection on shuffle. I also have 30-or-so playlists which I add tracks to as they come up on shuffle. Once I reached the limit on my iPod, I set it to only sync checked songs and began systematically unchecking songs I don't like or like "not-as-much." This worked fine for some time, but I am all out of files to "uncheck" (I tend to only buy music I like). Additionally, I now need to quickly uncheck a bunch of files every time I get new music, if I want to listen to it on my iPod. For some time I held onto some hope that Apple would put out a 320 GB Classic, but sadly that is never going to happen.
I have a 16 GB iPhone 5, but storing music in that would be ridiculous.
Since getting my Mac, I have a renewed passion for my iTunes library and music collection (not-so-fun with semi-functional PCs). I am finally able to organize my library like I like to, and would LOVE to be able to access it remotely. A friend recently told me to check out iTunes Match, which reads like Storybook Fantasy in its description. Imagine my disappointment to learn that there's a 25k song limit! Tracks purchased from iTunes don't count toward the 25k, but I am not about to start re-buying 90% of my music just to use iTunes Match. I purchased a 3T WD My Cloud, hoping that would solve the issue, but apparently Apple's proprietary restrictions prevent the iTunes server from streaming remotely on my device using this service.
I read here in the forums, someone's instructions on how to essentially have TWO libraries, scaling one down to 25k...WHAT? I'd be better off just sticking with my Classic, which fits around 33k songs!
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP...Does anyone out there know of any way to accomplish what I want to do? I want to be able to access and play my entire music library (about 46,000 songs and growing), through iTunes (playlists, play count intact), through an app on my phone.
I own the following equipment:
(Late 2014) 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display (running OS Yosemite)
260 GB iPod Classic
16 GB iPhone 5 (running iOS 8.1.2)
WD 3T My Book
WD 3T My Cloud
Thank you. Please help. Thank you.

Why is it nonsense?
iCloud Drive storage is not the same as iTunes match. ITunes Match does not store your music but matches with what's on the Apple servers and uploads non matched music.
jim
Where shall I start?
The music that is uploaded to iTunes Match (as you mentioned) is stored in iTunes Match. If it is not then where exactly is it? User uploaded tracks are subject to a 25,000 limit. There is no limit to the amount of iTunes purchased music.
All music stored in Match (either uploaded by you or purchased from iTunes by you) is available for streaming or download to an IOS or OSX device (Windows may be download only)
It's nonsense because it is almost entirely incorrect. -

This worked for an English version and the concept should work with all Adobe programs - new or old (hopefully in any language). My guess is that you have/had an older version of Acrobat/Reader on your computer hard drive that needs to be *completely* removed first. Uninstall the new (and any old) Acrobat; then try using the "kb2..." guideline link below before reinstalling the new Acrobat. I am including the lengthy instructions in order to help others with more extensive installation problems. Good luck!
I live on a fixed income and use CS for a hobby. I had problem installing Adobe Creative Suite (CS1) to Windows 7 64-bit Pro on my new computer. Also installed Adobe Photoshop LR3. What I learned: All Adobe products (Flash, Acrobat/Reader, Photoshop, Creative Suites, etc.) leave a VERY pervasive footprint on your hard drive. Logic finally worked for me.... think of building a house; there is an order you have to do things in. First, you have to clean the area before laying the foundation; then you have to build the framework before you put the roof on. You cannot install an older program over ANY newer program; and you will sometimes have a problem installing a newer program containing Flash, Reader, etc. unless you "erase" the older versions of Flash, Reader beforehand. If installing older programs, do a Custom/Manual install; do not install older versions of Flash, Reader, etc. packaged with your Adobe software.
SOLUTION (not easy, but it works):
I first tried this; it did not solve my problem (but, if applicable, may help others). http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Win dows
Before doing anything, make document and any database/presets/cache back-ups beforehand (keep notes on their designated location*); manually create a System Restore point. (Be prepared to reinstall Windows if necessary - I didn't have to.)
Completely and meticulously eradicate (clean) your hard drive of ALL Adobe programs [uninstall, remove remaining folders, and remove only the registry entries that have the Adobe name attached (unless you are an expert and fully understand the other entries)]. Use this as a guideline http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400769.html
Do a Custom/Manual reinstall of all your Adobe products *in order of release dates* (OLDEST first).... do not include Reader, Flash, etc. If your CD will not automatically run at this point, click "Open folder to view files" (use Computer/Windows Explorer, if necessary). Click "Adobe Creative Suite (or your desired program) ==> Setup.exe" (IMPORTANT: Make sure that Reader, Flash, etc. are unchecked.)
After each of your desired Adobe programs are installed, test to insure they boot up. Then download the latest Reader, Flash, etc. apps and install them (I did this in order of release date - oldest first). Do test boot(s) again.
Copy/Paste your document and any database/presets/cache back-ups into the appropriate folders (*this will vary depending on your programs and your filing system).
It has been four weeks and all my Adobe programs work flawlessly - system is stable, no problems! -

How to get iPhoto movies into iMovie?
Yosemite was recently installed on my 2012 Macbook Pro. Previously, whenever I opened iMovie it would automatically thumbnail any new movies in my iPhoto library and I'd be able to use them immediately in iMovie. Since the Yosemite install, there's a
