Replacing gen 5 (n) extreme with gen 6 (ac) The new one continues to flash amber.

Suggest that you find out why the amber light is flashing.
Assuming that you have recent model Mac.......Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the amber dot
Another window will open
If you see an Update button, click it. The light was flashing to tell you an update was available.
Otherwise, look at the setting for Status and click on the small amber dot there. Report on the message that you see.

i'm using an iphone4

Replaced my computer. Now cannot authorize the new one.

I use Adobe Editions in downloading books from the library to read on my Nook reader. I recently replaced my original desk top computer with a new one. Now I can still download books to Digital Editions on my new computer but cannot transfer them to my Nook. I keep getting a notice that I need to authorize my Nook. But when I try, I get a message saying :You can only authorize this computer with an ID that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile devices. Please try again." Since my Adobe ID is my email address, Do I have to set up a seperate Email address just to create a second Adobe ID?
Seems rather redundant. Is there a conflict between my original PC and the new one? Help! Getting kinda frustrated.

You certainly only want one AdobeID for all your devices if at all possible.
It may be that the Nook has kept some memory of an older registration id.
You should be able to undo that, then reregister. To undo that, try (in order)
ctrl-shift-E to ADE with the Nook plugged in should work.
If that fails, try to delete 'Digital Editions' and hidden '.adobe-digital-editions' directories from the Nook.
If that fails, try a factory reset of the Nook.
That will clear all your things from the Nook, so you may NOT want to risk that one.

If you replace an ipad 2, will you get the new one?

Just wondering

Perhaps so. My Dad experienced the same with his iMac. That being said, I suspect both are very unusual circumstances and I've never heard that done with any iOS device. I have heard much of the opposite... people always get the exact replacement. In any case, the user should not expect a 'free upgrade' as it's only very remotely possible.

I had my ipod for almost a year now and it the ipod touch with a camera. the new one. But today when I set it down for 2 seconds it STOPPED working. its been charging for an hour now. still not turning on. I didnt drop it. Whats wrong??

the title says all

Did you try to reset your device by pressing the sleep and home button for about 10 sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose any data doing a reset.
If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

Extending a Gen 5 Extreme with an early model Express

I have been running a Gen 2 Extreme with a WDS extension setup for my early model 802 a/b/g Express. When I replaced my Gen 2 Extreme with the newest Gen 5, the Airport Utility screens have changed and don't appear to offer options to identify my Express as an extention.
Need some thoughts on how to deal with this.
Thanks

The key is to use the Option key before making the Wireless Mode selection for the 5G AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). You should find the familar "Participate in a WDS network" option when you do.
You should be aware that there are two major drawbacks of using this earlier "static" WDS configuration:
The extended network will only operate in the 802.11g radio mode. Effectively, negating the advantage of your new AEBSn.
For every base station added to the WDS, the overall bandwidth will be cut in half. So, in your case, you'll only be getting around 25 - 27 Mbps. A far cry short of the 300+ Mbps that the AEBSn is capable of.

I recently installed an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in May 2013. It replaced an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in July 2007. My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but the printer won't work with the new one.

My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but I'm having trouble with the new one. When I try to print, I get a USB Waiting message on the printer, and when I force a page to print by pressing Go on the printer, I get a page that says ERROR: syntaxerror OFFENDING COMMAND: true. . . .cvt . . . fpgm . . . x . . .lglyf . . . <..J head . . . STACK: / [ -mark- /sfnts I’ve tried shutting down the printer and disconnecting it and the Airport, but that doesn’t help. I reset the settings on the printer. I upgraded the Airport firmware and removed, reinstalled, and upgraded the Lexmark printer driver. After I upgraded the firmware and printer driver, a few pages printed correctly, but then I got the same syntax error page as before. Any suggestions for getting the printer to work correctly?

Use a powered USB hub between the AE and the printer.. the usb port does sometimes have issues.
Try deleting the printer in the Mac and reinstall it.. the change in AE can represent effectively a change of printer.. it is important to make sure that is all up to date.
Beyond that.. USB printers.. ughhh! Consider for two toners you can go and buy a proper network printer.

The on/off button on my 6th gen iPod nano recently got spoilt and I sent it back to the shop for a repair/exchange a week ago. Now I have just found out about the new 7th gen iPod nano and I am wondering, can I get the new one as a replacement?

No. You can turn your 6G Nano in to be recycled at your local Apple Store for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one. Otherwise, your only other option would be to sell the iPod on Craigslist or eBay and use the proceeds from the sale towards the purchase of the new 7G nano.

Replacing an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule

I have had my wireless network setup and working for a few years.
I've decided to replace my Airport Extreme with a Time Capsule.
Can I simply disconnect the Airport Extreme, connect the Time Capsule and configure it with the same SSID & Password? or is there a procedure for accomplishing this that I'm not aware of?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
What you describe should work, but first you might want to try this approach: Use AirPort Utility to put the Extreme into "manual setup" mode. Use the menu option File -> Export Configuration File to write the configuration to a file. Replace the Extreme with the Time Capsule, put it into "manual setup" mode, and use the menu option File -> Import Configuration File to read the Extreme configuration into the Time Capsule.
Full disclosure: I haven't tried this. If it works, you'll have saved yourself several minutes of configuring. If it doesn't work, then proceed as you originally planned. And let the rest of us know how things went.

I have replaced my airport extreme with a new airport time capsule and want to know how I can set up my extreme to extend/strengthen my Wi-Fi?

Start with a "hard reset" (see below) then use AirPort Utility to configure it.
When asked what you want to do with it, indicate that you want it to add to an existing network, similar to the following screenshot.
Follow the prompts that will eventually lead you to the words "wirelessly extend..." as shown.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

Replacing older airport extreme with time capsule

I am thinking of replacing my airport extreme with time capsule. I had a lot of problems setting up airport extreme a few years ago - now it is very reliable. I don't want to have the same issues with time capsule. Can I simply physically replace the airport extreme with time capsule using the same settings as previously
Advice gratefully anticipated

Welcome to the discussion area, pancuronium!
You will use AirPort Utility on your Mac for this operation:
(Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility)
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the File menu at the upper left corner of the screen near the Apple icon
Click Export Configuration File
Assign a name to the file and save it to a convenient location like the desktop
When you are ready to install the Time Capsule....
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the File Menu
Select Import Configuration File
Navigate to locate the file that you exported to import all the settings into a new configuration for the Time Capsule

You could use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?

My ipod touch broke then replaced it with a new one. I already dloaded iOS5 on the old one. When I connected my new unit it says it won't load the previous back because the new one is not up to date... Do I really have to download iOS5 again?

Yes, you have to update the iPod in order to retore from backup. The iOS on the "new" has to be aequal to r greater than on the iPod from which the backup was made. The iOS downloads are unique to an iDevice and model (the one for a 3G iPod will not work for a 4G iPod).
