Stuck in rescan with no way out

My wireless network worked fine using an airport extreme base station until I updated the airport utility software. Now I have no network and the flashing yellow light on the base station. I get a message that that airport utility was unable to find a wireless devise. The only option is a re-scan button. There is no option other than to "re-scan". I cannot go back or continue. My airport extreme base station is plugged in, I have uninstalled and re installed airport utility. I have reset the airport extreme base station. Re started the mac numerous times. Still. when I open the airport utility application (even after re installing the application) I get the same message and the re-scan button. What can I do to fix this?

Did you try a hard reset as follows:
Pull the power on the Extreme and let it rest for 5-10 minutes
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in while your plug the power back in
Release the reset button after approximately 10 seconds
Temporarily, connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the Extreme directly to your computer.
Open AirPort Utility to see if it will locate your Extreme so you can reconfigure it.

  • Stuck in Reset mode Any way out?

    Currently trying to reset my new airport extreme and now the LEDs are flashing. Tried both a soft and hard reset. Just bought the base station today. Thanks in advance.

    Thx. Unfortunately, my extreme base station was not
    recognized from the start. The situation remains the
    same. Again, thanks.
    First, could you make your seller check it.
    Then, if it's OK,
    you may be in a case were you're trapped in a bad channel
    automatic choice you can't escape through an AirPort
    connection.
    To check this, could you turn off your AEBS.
    From your Ethernet connection to Internet,
    download iStumbler (http://www.istumbler.net/),
    and check if you have other wireless networks in your
    neighbourhood.
    If you have neighbour's wireless networks, you will
    have to reconfigure your AEBS by its Ethernet
    LAN port with "AirPort Admin Utility" (use an Ethernet
    cable from your Mac to your AEBS).
    You have to change its channel to a free one:
    one which is separated from your neighbour's
    ones by three empty channels. For example, if your
    neighbours use channels 1 and 11, you may choose whichever
    channel you want between 5, 6 and 7.

  • I've stuck with Entourage way too long. Now I don't dare install the Mavericks OS because all my Entourage files will go away. And my iMac won't open Mac Mail (probably because I've never opened it in the 5 - 6 years I've owned the Mac.) Any suggestions?

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
    If there are specific tasks you need help with:

  • Sometimes when panning with the hand tool, it zooms way out instead of just moving the canvas

    So normally when you hold the space key and drag, it just moves the canvas, but every now and then, seemingly randomly, it zooms way out and shows a little box which is the size and shape of the area of canvas I was previously looking at. If I move the box and let go of space, it zooms to that location, but all I wanted was to move normally. I don't think I've ever wanted the zoom out, move, then zoom back in behavior. What causes that? How do I make it stop?

    It's "bird's eye view" and by coincidence, your problem was discussed in another thread last night: Problem with zoom in Photoshop CS6

  • HT1414 Mine keeps on saying that the device could not be restored, "an unknown error has occurred (2001)"!! Guess it's stuck in that dreaded "iPhone Recovery Mode" loop. The question is, which way out??? How do I get it out of the recovery loop??

    Mine keeps on saying that the device could not be restored, "an unknown error has occurred (2001)"!! Guess it's stuck in that dreaded "iPhone Recovery Mode" loop. The question is, which way out??? How do I get it out of the recovery loop??

    A quick Google search for Error 2001 would indicate that this occurs when you have a jailbroken phone or were trying to downgrade iOS. Is that true for you?

    Running a mid 2009 iMac on 10.7.5, 3 gb memory, 320 gb hd. 
    Suddenly the computer stoped reading DVDs and the only time I can read a CD is if I restart.  Quite often when I insert a CD it gets stuck and I cannot get it out until I restart and it shows up on the desktop where I can then eject it.
    I have checked and double checked the finder prefs and all looks normal showing a check mark on CDs,DVDs etc. (the ones I want to show up on the desktop)
    I have reset the PEAM, repaired permissions with both the disk utility on the computer and the disk utility when I start up in the Recovery Disk.  I did notice that sometimes the permission repeat the same correction several times before it moves on, and sometimes it doesn’t. I have Windows installed on a partition but I keep it unmounted until it is needed for my wife’s work.  The dock seems to be just fine and all the apps seems to run just fine.  When I insert a photo CD iPhoto does not open but when I insert a music CD iTunes does open. 
    Also, most every time I open iPhoto it takes a long time(sometimes as long as 2 minutes) for it to load.
    Sometimes my Mail (Mail 5.3) does not post new mail but most of the time it does. 
    Once and a while it seems like the computer slows way down but then it seems ok ten minutes later.
    All  of these ‘things’ seemed to have happen suddenly and I have not downloaded anything from the internet in some time.
    Of course the warranty and extended warranty are both no longer in effect having had this computer for more than three years.
    I am running Java and Adobe Player because some of the sites I go to a lot require both.

    I believe that insufficient RAM may be the source of some of your problems. If you have a RAM of somewhere 4 to 8GB, you will experience smoother computing. 3GB doesn't seem right, so you might want to learn more by going to this site:
    http://www.crucial.com/store/drammemory.aspx
    I don't know what know what's happening with your optical drive, but it seems you use your drive quite a bit. In that case, look into a lens cleaner for your machine. It's inexpensive, works quite well.
    I hope you'll post here with your results!

  • Laserjet 1018 paper jam on way out.

    Hello, 
    My printer  prints some pages and then one (white page not printed) stucks on half way out.  Paper jam message appears on pc. 
    I cleaned everything inside,  then I changed the pickup roller with a new one but same thing happens.
    If I send 4 pages to print are ok. If I Send 20   paper jam at 18 ..   
    The information for what to do if a paper jam happens does not help me for this problem.
    Thank you.

    Hi @Andrant ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues when printing multiple pages, the paper will stop 1/2 way through and you get a paper jam message on the computer. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
    It sounds more like a communication issue, which is causing the printer to stop printing in the middle of the jobs.
    What file format are you printing? (PDF)
    Try cutting the pages being printed down, the larger amount of pages could be stopping the Print Spooler on the computer.
    Did you download and install the latest drivers for the printer, or are you using the Windows Classic drivers?
    HP LaserJet 1018 Printer Drivers.
    I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve this issue, by checking the driver installed and updating it. Wireless Printer Prints a Partial Page or Fails to Print All Pages in Windows 8.
    Go to Step 3 for the update, then click the link for Workaround and under Step 4, go to steps 8.
    Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!

  • Just downloaded the new OS for IPhone. Despise the appearance. It has jacked with the way I like things in some unacceptable ways. Is there any way to keep the OS, but return to the old appearance? Important to know BEFORE I download OS for computer.

    Just downloaded the new OS for IPhone. Despise the appearance. It has jacked with the way I like things in some unacceptable ways. Is there any way to keep the OS, but return to the old appearance? Important to know BEFORE I download OS for computer.

    I know I am responding to my own thread, but I an SOOOO disgusted with Apple right now.
    The new iOS 7 was the lead story on CNN today... and it wasn't positive. Easy to see why, it's a graphics disaster. It is ugly, difficult to read, doesn't interface aesthetically with the iPhone 4S, and gives everyone in America vertigo. Either fix the appearance, or find some way to allow us to roll back to our previous iOS. Do so quickly, or this life-long Apple customer [circa 1978] will be moving on. If this represents shades of what is coming with OS Maverick, I am petrified. Further, I am a GM of a chain of newspapers and websites in the Austin, Texas area. I will be ripping out a scathing editorial. The notion that we can't roll back from something millions of us hate is despicable. I'm giving you one week. Be sure I am not alone.

  • Macbook pro 10.6.8 FREEZING SCREEN and no way out of it

    I had a crash and managed to recover with the OS X 10.6 DVD loaded onto a external hard drive
    but now my lap top works a while and then just freeze on me and the only way out is to hold down the power button and that has to be bad getting worse?
    Any one have something I could try to exercise this demon out of my computer please?

    Just in case, run the malware removal tool here >  The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
    If no malware was found, make sure there's enough free disk disk space.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, right or control click startup disk in the Sidebar on the left then click Get Info.
    You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
    If disk space is not an issue. the startup disk may need repairing.
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If DU reports errors, start up from your install disc while holding down the C key. From there you can repair the disk and reinstall OS X.

    Hey robr72339266,
    With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
    But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
    You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
    Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.

  • Have old video tapes; compact VHS. Have camera with S-video out

    Have compact VHS tape archive. Have camera with S-video out & good VHS player/adapter with S-Video out. Also have old PC with dedicated hardware capture card/cable and Pinnacle Studio. Am considering starting over with purchasing iMac for editing. I could capture on the old PC and move files to iMac. If I want to do it all on iMac, what is the best way to capture and what do i need?

    TExcellent suggestion! Read about it, ordered it on Wednesday and I just captured a S-VHS-C through the box from my camera to my old iMovie 6.0.3 on my G4. Worked right out of the box as advertised. Now I can experiment a bit while I muse about that I7/27" iMac I'm going to buy. I also went to the Apple workshop on IMovie/iDVD. It's a long way from my old Pinnacle Studio.

  • White screen with a crossed out circle which flickers to the Apple logo sometimes, but won't open. What can I do to open it?

    Help!!  I'm in Belize (not a good place to be with an Apple, as international as you may claim to be!) and my computer decided to "quit" thusly:
    White screen with a crossed out circle which flickers to the Apple logo sometimes, but won't open. What can I do to open it? (I do have my recently backed up data with me, but no loading discs for my computer.
    Hoping there is a solution,
    Diana

    The make of the disk doesn't really tell us how your data is being backed up onto that disk. Do you know what software it uses?
    For example Time Machine copies files every hour in a way that is not bootable, but you can extract those files & get all your data back into a working OS.
    Carbon Copy Cloner duplicates a disk in a way that is bootable - it would appear when holding alt at startup so you could use that to boot & inspect the state of the internal disk.
    It may also be Seagate's own software that does something different.
    Please try recovery mode, if that works you can try repairing the disk in Disk Utility.
    OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
    If that works, select Disk Utility & see if the internal disk can be repaired in the first aid tab.
    Recovery mode can also download OS X & reinstall it, however you really need to know if the backup contains everything before that is attempted, otherwise you may lose data. The OS is also around 5GB so you may have issues if your internet is capped or unstable etc.
    P.S.
    I have no idea if this is helpful, but there may be help out there…?

  • FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

    Please help ASAP.
    Specs: IOS 10.6.8
    Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
    Editing with FCP 7
    When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
    The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
    How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
    This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
    Thanks,
    MV

    What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
    Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
    Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.
