  • Linksys router software installation on desktop

    I bought a new Linksys EA2700 and am trying to install the Cisco software on my desktop so that I will have wireless access for a Roku box and so that my family will have wireless access when they visit.  I do not currently have a laptop or anything else that I could install this software on.  When I get to the second step after I have plugged the router in,  connected the network cable from my network modem to the router and then connected the cable from the router to my computer - I get a message that says " This computer does not appear to have wireless capability".  My desktop does not have wireless capabiltiy.  How can I get this software installed??  How can I install software that needs wireless connectivity when I don't yet have wireless connectivity???
    Thanks
    Kurt

    well - good news and bad news - I took the router over to a friend and he was able to connect to it with his laptop and get to the manual setup page so that tells me that the router is probably fine and that something on my computer is blocking the connection.  pepper_mint had said to turn off the Windows Firewall because that could cause problems and I had tried that earlier but it didn't help.  I am using Norton 360 which manages my firewall and antivirus and had gone in to that and shut the firewall off because Windows 7 gives me message that says that Norton 360 is managing my firewall.  Does anyone use Norton 360 and had to do anything special to get the router working??  Unfortunately I am going to be gone now until almost Christmas so I won't be able to try any suggestions until I get back.  I may hop over to the Norton forum and see if anyone over there has any suggestions.  Thanks for your help!

    Good morning, nic0806,
    Unfortunately, the interesting meaty bits are the
    ones that you've ...'ed out. But why don't we get
    ourselves a full installer log and pass it onto the
    Apple Engineers?
    1. Open a commnd prompt window. (Start menu -> Run.
    Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
    2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so
    that the full pathname of the file is at the command
    line prompt.
    3. Type in a space, then the following line:
    /l*v C:\log.txt
    4. Hit return.
    5. The installer will create a log file:
    C:\log.txt
    Send it to our buddy
    Roy. It doesn't hurt to put the URL to this
    discussion thread because he gets a lot of these
    messages and is easily confused. Tell him Toonz sent

  • Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

    Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
    PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

    Try this: Open up her Home folder (house icon), click Library then Preferences. Locate com.apple.softwareupdate.plst (I don't have my Mac handy so I can't double-check the name; that should be correct) and move it to the desktop or trash, then try running Software Update again. Also try running Software Update while logged in as another administrator.

  • Software disks

    I just bought a Mac Mini. It looks, unfortunately, like it was previously opened by someone else, however. Good news is that everything looked like it had never been turned on (still had plastic wrap over the power cord even).
    One question, though... I received 2 disks with the Mac (labeled Mac OS X Install Disk 1 and Mac OS X Install Disk 2). So... I'm wondering... if I ever decide to re-format my system, do these disks have iLife and FrontRow on them? Or am I missing software disks that should have come with my Mac?
    Thanks!

    Well, you seem inclined to get the iMac, and apparently you can afford it. If you want to play games, then although the Mini is capable of playing "light" and older games, it can't really handle the latest 3D games. For that you'd need an iMac. Otherwise, I think the Mini is a pretty good machine, but the iMac would be faster anyway.
    Hopefully you'll be able to switch the rest of your software soon and abandon Windows altogether. Good luck !
    BTW don't know whether you already installed Boot Camp but don't forget to backup everything valuable, since even though Boot Camp seems to work fairly well, it remains beta software and is more likely to crash or to cause issues than official, "gold" software. (Having a good backup solution is always a good thing nonetheless)

  • Can't complete WRT54GS setup using supplied software disk

    I had an old WRT54G router that had two of it's inputs die, so I decided to replace it.  I had an unopened from 2007 WRT54GS (bought it as a replacement  for the existing router but never installed it.)
    After connecting it a few weeks ago I found that the installation software told me that I didn't have an internet connection, so I really couldn't go any further with it. 
    Funny thing is, I can go anywhere on the net that that I like, including this forum, with no problem.  So I don't know why the software installation package(Easylink Linksys Advisor) doesn't see a connection to the net.
    I've set up the router with a new password (other than Admin) and changed it to WPA2, and then downloaded and installed a firmware update, but the software still stubbornly insists that I don't have a connection to the net.
    So should I forget about the software's problem and continue as I am?  Would that be a problem?  Or does someone know of a fix for this...

    Well, ok -- yeah, I already did the web-based thing, changed from the default password, and did whatever else I knew about.
    But I assumed that the cd-based setup would do more stuff.  And "manual?"  What manual?  All they give you is the stupid cd.  I'll check to see if the manual is on the cd, if not I can probably get one from the web.
    Thanks...

    From within Photoshop Elements, when I try to open Editor, a box opens that states I must activate the software.  I registered and activated the software last year.  When I click to activate, I get a message that I am not connected to the internet.  I am connected.  How do I get Editor to work?

    You would get the redemption code, or perhaps even the serial number, from whomever you purchased the software from, apparently Amazon, so talk to them.  This wouldn’t be the first time they’ve sold something that didn’t have all the numbers needed to license it.
    A redemption code is something that is usually on the inner disc packaging if you purchase the media in a box, and there is a barcode on the outside of the packaging that must be scanned at the checkout register to activate the hidden inner code so you can redeem it at home on that website.  This is what happens if you buy PSE from a brick-and-mortar store like Best Buy.  I don’t’ know what happens if you purchase the downloaded version as I have never done that.
    A redemption code is 24-digits of letters and numbers that you enter into a website to get a serial number, once and only once.  The serial number of only 24-digits, no letters, is what you enter into the software during the install or when you run it and it asks if you want to register or run in a trial mode—whatever the exact phrasing is.
    In any case it sounds like you don’t have either a redemption code or serial number—although perhaps something is listed on the purchase confirmation or your account online at Amazon or even in an e-mail from Amazon.

  • Internet Connect crash/Software Update won't open

    I have a 500mhz G3 slot loading iMac running 10.3.9
    About 2 weeks ago, after waking FrankenMac up from sleep mode, I noticed the Airport status symbol failed to appear in the menu bar (next to the volume/date&time etc).
    Looking into my Network settings revealed that I was indeed still connected to the internet, via my Airport, all systems go. However, I noticed that "show airport status in menu bar" was unchecked, so I checked the box. Which apparently did jack squat b/c there's still no icon.
    For the last couple weeks, as long as I've been connected to the internet, I could really give a flying flip about whether the airport status icon is there or not. I mean, seriously. I know this computer is a little old so why rock the boat on something trivial?
    Until today. Today I was determined to figure out where the icon is, why it went away and if there are any other underlying problems.
    I started first with Internet connect. Applications->Internet Connect, clicked on the purple IC button, only to have it launch in the dock, bounce once, then quit.

The dock would move everything to the left, as if it was going to open, then....nothing.

    This ridiculously long post boils down to 2 questions, really.
    • Any ideas why Internet Connect and Software Update won't open and how to fix?
    • Where in the world is my Airport status icon? (not that it matters since I'm connected to the internet, but doggone it!)
    I've run Disk Utility, repaired permissions and the HD checks out fine. I'm just at a loss (not surprising, given my limited amount of fix-it-yerself knowledge)
    Should I just put up, shut up and be grateful that these problems, while aggravating, aren't majorly disrupting my life?

    Okay no worries, can't find where to delete this post...

    Can someone please help. I have a really old MacBook that is running really slow. I want to wipe everything and reinstall the latest software but don't know how to do this. Also is there a way of keeping Microsoft Office when doing this? Thanks in advance

    You do realise that wiping the disk means that everything on the disk is erased. Everything. Photos, music, emails, ...
    So the first piece of advice is to make sure you have a back up of everything.
    You need the OS disk to reintsall the operating system. You will use that disk first to erase the drive, then to reinstall the OS.
    Here's the link for the US.  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    As for MS Office, you will need the original disk that it came on to reinstall it.

  • Cant install new software only attempts to open with ichat

    Hello,
    I must have changed some settings I shouldnt have because whenever I try and download certain applications like limewire I can download it but when I click to install it opens ichat and says ichat cant support the application. What should I do?!
    Thanks!
    Becky

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It sounds like the Open with setting for the
    installer files got set to another application by
    mistake.
    Control-mouse click the said documents and select
    Open with...'s Other. There will be an option to
    select Disk Utility for dmg files, Installer for pkg
    files.
    By the way, I'd not attempt to download Limewire. It
    is an extremely buggy application, and frequently
    point to point (P2P) software can lead to bad
    software being installed that could harm your
    computer. A lot of illegally distributed software
    exists behind Limewire and other P2P software titles.
    Good places to download public domain software
    are:
    http://www.macupdate.com/
    http://www.versiontracker.com/
    No extra downloader is necessary. If it is neither
    pkg nor dmg file you are trying to open, tell us
    which suffix file you are trying to open, and we can
    recommend an alternative software title for it.
    thank you for your responce. once i right clicked and said open with disc utlity it opened but then closed again. i tried this several times and no change.
