Someone please walk me throught this before i cry

hello.
have an ax.
plug it into wall socket.
plug in ethernet cable to ax.
green light comes on ax.
ipod touch 2g works perfectly.
macbook work perfectly
signal of ax shows up in airport drop down on imac.
no internet connection.
airport utility keeps stating re scan.
what am i doing wrong and how do i fix this very very annoying problem.
if you do reply please use simple terms as i simply am not computer literate and terms such as 802.11, n e.t.c. mean nothing to me without explanation.
thankyou so much for taking the time to read this message.

The problem sounds like it may be one of two things:
o Your iMac's internal AirPort card is not configured properly, or
o The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is not assigning the correct IP addresses to the iMac.
I am leaning toward the former as the issue.
Can the iMac find any other Wi-Fis (wireless networks) in the area? If so, and they are unprotected (no lock symbol in the AirPort menu), can it connect to any of them?
Let's double-check your iMac's AirPort configuration settings:
To setup AirPort for High-Speed Cable Internet connectivity:
System Preferences > Network > AirPort
o Location: Automatic
o In the left column, verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "+" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
o Verify that AirPort is "On." Click "Turn AirPort On" button if not.
o Ask to join new networks: (enabled)
o Show AirPort status in menu bar: (enabled)
Systems Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced
AirPort tab
o Remember any network this computer has joined: (enabled)
o Disconnect from wireless networks when logging out: (enabled)
o Require Administrator password to control AirPort: (disabled)
TCP/IP tab
o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
o Configure IPv6: Automatically
DNS tab
o DNS Servers: <if required, add your desired DNS server IP address(es) here>
o Search Domains: <if required, add your desired DNS Search Domain(s) here>
WINS tab
o Enter desired WINS info or leave the defaults
AppleTalk tab
o Make AppleTalk Active: (disabled)
802.11X tab
o Enter desired 802.11X info or leave the defaults
Proxies tab
o Enter the desired Proxies info or leave the defaults

    Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card.

    What "child lock" are you talking about?
    Do you mean you set up a Managed account (Parental Controls), or some other software?
    For Parental Controls, select the account in Users & Groups and uncheck the "Enable parental controls" checkbox.

  • I would like to download / backup my entire iPhoto library, but want to do so in a manner where each event is saved as a distinct folder.  Can someone please advise if / how this is possible?

    I would like to download / backup my entire iPhoto library, but want to do so in a manner where each event is saved as a distinct folder.  Can someone please advise if / how this is possible?

    See Terence Devlin's User Tip on exporting from iPhoto: 
                     Exporting From iPhoto  https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    To write events to separate folders, use "File > Export" and select the subfolder format "Event Name". But that will only backup the photos and not your iPhoto library and all the work you invested in organising it.  For backing up, see:                    iPhoto and File Management

It sounds like a bit of a mess and what you may need is an onsite PC tech to do some maintenance on your PC.
    Also, learning to properly use punctuation (particularly periods) might not be a bad idea. As it is, your post was very hard to read.
    Good luck!

  • Can someone please help me understand this

    I am a new poster here and was hoping someone might be able to help me...
    I am writing a program that is supposed to generate a non applet (IE text) version of a 4-way intersection....however i have run into a problem that i simply cannot see a solution....please tell me why this code does not do what it is supposed to:
    in i meant to call the car arrives method which is supposed to enqueue based on some randomly determined parameters, known as direction and bound....it is supposed to loop through and do that for every car created.. what i think is happnening is that everything is getting overwritten rather than enqueued...what i dont understand is why...the reason i believe that nothing is enqueuing is because later in the code i attempt to dequeue these queues and and set a paramter and i get a null pointer exception
    PLEASE NOTE I RECIEVED THESE ERRORS BEFORE INSTANTIATING THE VEHICLE CURRENT CAR AS NULL...perhaps it is an instantiation problem but i cannot tell...please help me out as I have worked on this forthe last few days and am desparate for an answer

  • Xcoding (1st attempt):Can someone please tell me why this isn't working?

    Hi Folks,
    Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum/area,  I am new here/first post.
    I recently have been trying out XCODE and learning Objective-C.  Coming from a background
    of Microsoft Basic 2.0, it's been a challenge to say the least!
    Here's what I wrote so far,  it's a basic 'wager/dice' game.  I basically want the game
    to keep repeating until the player runs out of money (I know I still have to program
    that into the 'while' function, so I defaulted it for 10 times in the interim). 
    Here's what I need to figure out:
    - The "While" loop is working, yet the 'cash' constantly resets to 1000 each time it starts again. I tried
    {bracketing} the functions, but whether I win/lose the dice rolls, it always resets to 1000
    There's a bunch more things I need to figure out, but if someone can tell me why the 'cash'
    keeps reseting to '1000' each time,  I'd greatly appreciate it!

        int total;
        int loop=1;
        while (loop<10){
        printf("\n");
        printf ("You have %i dollars, How much do you want to bet? \n", cash);
        scanf ("%d",&bet);
        printf ("What is the number you want to bet on (1 out of 6)? \n");
