Software for mighty mouse, airport extreme won't load?

My old mouse won't work with mini. Mighty Mouse and Airport Extreme Software won't load (Macintosh HD 74.4 GB, 64.06 GB Free).
Mighty mouse is connected, but wont let me do what I need.
I want to use mini to surf net, manage ipod, email. I was assured at Apple store that I was buying a more powerful competer than my needs.
How do I get this thing to work properly?
TX

When did you buy your Mini ? Has it got Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) on it ? Most of the Mighty Mouse's functions will only work under Tiger ...
What do you mean by "Mighty Mouse and Airport Extreme Software won't load" ? Your post is very unclear and we need more information in order to help you. Does it give an error message ?
You might try to open Disk Utility (located under Applications > Utilities) and repair your hard drive's permissions (simply highlight Macintosh HD, and then click on "Repair Disk Permissions"), and then try to install the software.
I don't think you need to install anything to use AirPort Extreme, the software is preloaded, but since not all Minis come with AirPort as standard, the "backup" disk comes separately from the main Install Disc. Or is it software for the AirPort Extreme Base Station ?
Another question : is it your first experience with OS X / the Mac platform ?

  • Airport Extreme won't connect with my cable modem (Time Warner)

    OK, I'm tired of staring at a blinking amber light. I'm reaching out to anyone out there who's had this problem. I've got everything connected right, the software loaded, the connections set on my laptop (Macbok Pro). But still my Airport Extreme won't connect to the Internet. I've tried different cables, rebooting both my modem and my Airport. For the record, I've had a Mac IT guy from my advertising agency come by my house and make sure that everything's installed and hooked up right. But it still keeps saying that my IP address is invalid, even though I can connect (wired) using the modem.
    I suspect I'll just have to take it to the Genius Bar or something. But anybody got any ideas? I really want to join the 'n' generation....

    atotheb, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Did you power off the cable modem when switching the Ethernet connection from laptop to AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)? This is usually required.

  • My brand new out the box airport extreme won't let anything connect to it.

    My brand new out the box 5th gen (2013) airport extreme won't let anything connect to it. I've tried several setups from sratch by the book. multiple resets and restores still nothing. It just keeps telling mt that the password is in correct even though it is 100% right.
    My curren set up is as follows. Phone Line -> ADSL2+ router -> Airport extreme. There is also an old airport express running of the router, this was done because the airport extremem was failing to work.
    Trying to connect:
    2x iPhone 4s
    2x macbook air
    2x Mac Pro.

    You will want the Extreme to be in bridge mode if it is currently disabled. (see image below)
    This will allow the ADSL2+ router to perform two important functions for your entire network: 1) Provide both the DHCP & NAT services, and 2) Provide PPPoE support to allow access to your ADSL ISPs network.
    If the Extreme is left in its default state, a router, it will conflict with the first item and you will have want is known as a "double NAT" condition. Something you will want to avoid.

  • For the new airport extreme what type of cable do I need to connect to my cable modem. Is Cat5 OK or will that bottle neck things?

    For the new airport extreme what type of cable do I need to connect to my cable modem. Is Cat5 OK or will that bottle neck things?

    Assuming that your cable modem has Gigabit Ethernet ports (possible, but it probably does not) Cat 5e or Cct 6 would do the job that you need.
    If the cable modem is using a 10/100 Mbps port, then Cat5 will be OK.

  • Where is the support forum for Mighty Mouse?

    Hello,
    does Apple have a support forum for Mighty Mouse.
    my Mighty Mouse will not scroll down...
    all information will be appreciated,
    thank you..!

    does Apple have a support forum for Mighty Mouse.
    No there is not a specific forum for the Mighty Mouse, generally you would normally post in the peripherals/input section of the forum related to your Mac, so if you have an iMac post in the iMac section.

  • Help.  I lost my installation CD for my for my new AirPort Extreme 802.11n

    Need help. I lost my installation CD for my for my new AirPort Extreme (802.11n). How can I download the new Admin Utility?

    Hi Gr8Tucano,
    Currently the Airport Utility does not appear to be on the downloads page, you can call Apple support line to receive a replacement disk, but be aware there may be a charge for replacement CDs.
    Regards,
    John

  • I have a disability and my hand shakes does anyone know of software for a mouse that is good for people with hand tremors?

    I have a disability and my hand is shaky does anyone know of software for a mouse that is good for people with hand tremors?

    You might try contacting the local school district's special needs people - this is something they will be familiar with. Also if you have a local cerebral palsy organization they might be able to point you in the right direction. Assistive software and devices do exist but I am too far out of that loop these days to give any specific help.

  • I want to replace a four year old Time Capsule for a new Airport Extreme, how difficult is it?

    I want to replace a four year old Time Capsule for a new Airport Extreme, how difficult is it? The ADSL connection come from a Modern Router provide by the local Telephone company.

    Reply back when you get the new device, but in short, you'll have to put your extreme in bridge mode and just connect the same wires as your current TC.

  • Airport Extreme won't assign an IP address to OS 9.2.2

    Is there a reason why my Airport Extreme won't assign an IP address using DHCP to a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver running Mac OS 9.2.2? The OS X partition running Tiger works fine.

    I finally found that if I put and old dual-speed Netgear hub between the Airport Extreme router and the PM G4 Quicksilver running OS 9.2.2 everything works fine. Go figure!
    Maybe one of the Mac gurus out there can tell me why this worked.

  • Airport Extreme-won't connect after the latest Apple software update

    My iBook will no longer connect to the wi-fi provider at our marina since the last two security updates to 10.3.
    The iBook works just fine with all other wi-fi signals in fact pulls in one that's a half mile away! Yet, it will not connect nor show signal strength with this one wi-fi provider. They haven't changed their signal and it occured immediately after I installed the latest software updates.
    When I shut down the computer today, for just a moment, a message flashed "should I grant permission to allow the marina wi-fi to connect". But it was gone before I could "click" on the button. Haven't been able to get that message again. I've tried to re-connect via "Other" and keying in the wi-fi system name and password but no luck.
    How can I restore my connection to this wi-fi?
    Thanks,

    I had this issue last month after upgrading Quicktime and downloading a security upgrade. For some reason (which Apple couldn't derive), the upgrades for their products screwed up my Keychain, and the only way to fix it was to reset my Keychain. Like you, I run 10.3.9, and this happened with two different upgrades on both my iBook and my iMac.
    The reset process is as follows:
    Go to Keychain Access in Utilities
    Access Keychain First Aid (under Window menu)
    Choose “Options”
    Choose "Reset Keychain"
    What a pain...I've stopped downloading upgrades from Apple until this gets resolved. Of course, that's not a good "solution" either.

  • Airport Extreme won't connect to new Vizio TV for internet apps

    I have my passwords correct and yet my new Vizio TV says that "Download Not Available" when I try to connect to my wireless Airport Extreme so I can get apps on the TV. It shows my Apple Network number but with a closed lock new to the icon. Trouble shooting says I might need to "disable MAC address filtering in wireless router." Don't know what to do! The airport is set up correctly so I can use my laptop and iPod without trouble. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    It shows my Apple Network number but with a closed lock new to the icon.
    It sounds like your Vizio TV sees that the Apple network as enabled for wireless encryption ... is it? That is do you have it configured for WPA or WPA2 encryption? If so, you will need to configure the TV to be able to access the network, just like your laptop or iPod.
    Trouble shooting says I might need to "disable MAC address filtering in wireless router."
    By default, your AirPort Extreme does not have MAC address filtering enabled. Did you configure it for Access Control in the AirPort Utility? If so, you would need to add the MAC address of the wireless adapter used in the Vizio.

  • Airport extreme won't see wireless signal

    Hiya
    I have an early 2005 mac mini. i had an airport extreme card installed a few months ago and have been able to log onto wireless internet no problems.
    i have now moved house and can not connect to the new wireless network. My mac book pro can find my "beboX" signal no problems, although it does seem slower than my housemates connection on PC. The mac mini can sometimesfind the bebox but is unable to connect to it.
    my feeling is that there is a problem with my mac mini's airport... i have downloaded the latest airport software and am wondering if i need to upload latest firmware...HOWEVER can not find latest firmware for 2005 mac mini on the apple website.
    Please please please can someone help. i need to get my little mini online and have no idea why it won't. perhaps because there are several people using our wireless connection and and the mac mini is the slowest so canb't get on...?
    charlotte

    Probaly the computer is to far away,to many obsticalls,or set up rong. from what you said it sounds like it is not set up corectly. go to systemprefrences/network. on the drop down menu for "Show" go to network port configurations. there it will show ways to conect to the internet. un check the ones you are not going to use. the one you are using is airport so drag it to the top of the list. this is how it is on os x 10.4. depending on how many computers are conected the router may not suport that many computers. for the firmware run sowftware up date under the apple at the top of the screen.

  • Mac Mini/Lion Server/Airport Extreme Won't Sleep...?

    I am at a loss with this one.  I have a Mid-2011 Mac Mini running OS X 10.7.4 Server (11E53) connected via gigabit ethernet to an Airport Extreme.  This computer will not sleep on its own using the system sleep timer.
    If anyone has any ideas that may help, I'm all ears!  The Mac Mini should sleep as intended and the Airport Extreme router should wake it if network resources are requested via a Magic Packet.  This same Airport Extreme does wake the other computers on the network just fine when they are configured to Wake on Lan (womp 1 in the pmset -g output, below).
    The server is configured to offer the following services: file sharing, Time Machine and screen sharing.
    The power saver settings on the Mac Mini are configured to sleep in 45 minutes, turn the screen off in 1 minute and wake for network access is enabled.  The output of pmset -g is below for reference:
    Active Profiles:
    AC Power                   -1*
    Currently in use:
    hibernatemode      0
    disksleep          10
    womp               1
    networkoversleep   0
    sleep              45
    powerbutton        1
    ttyskeepawake      1
    hibernatefile      /var/vm/sleepimage
    autorestart        1
    panicrestart       15
    displaysleep       1
    If the Mac Mini is manually placed in sleep mode, via the Apple Menu or the button on the Login Screen for example, then it will sleep just fine. While the Mac Mini is sleeping, it will wake properly when the shared resources are accessed via another Mac on the network. For example, if the Macbook Pro tries to begin a Time Machine backup using the Time Machine Server on the Mac Mini, it will wake just fine and the backup will complete with no issues. The Mac Mini will not sleep again using the system sleep timer and must be manually put into sleep mode.
    There is one printer (Canon MP560) installed on the Mac Mini, connected via USB, not shared on the network and no print jobs stuck in the print que.
    I tried using the PleaseSleep software but that causes problems when the Mac Mini is used via Screen Sharing.  When the Mac Mini is controlled remotely via Screen Sharing, PleaseSleep waits about a minute into the session and forces sleep mode, cutting the session short prematurely. This is unacceptable.
    Also, there are no assertions that would prevent system idle sleep using the system sleep timer, as seen in the pmset -g assertions output below:

    I Have the same issue with pleasesleep.
    No ARD Session without sleep ;-)
    My stup is a little bit different to yours.
    My MacMini act as an HTPC for Plex and it dosent sleep as well.
    I guess it has something to to with External USB HDDs or in your case printers or USB Hubs or etc. etc.
    I found a AppleScript called Nacrolepsy 2.0
    It dosent work probebly right now but I hope It could be a solution in the near future.
