Trying to get the darn new AE up THEN connected to the internet

I have been trying different things for 3 hours...I give up. How Apple can possible say they make it easy to configure and connect...I think either they or I live on another planet!
I have been using a DHCP with my DSL to D-Link Wireless Router to MBP. When I go through the configuration I can see the Printer and Disk I had hooked up...the AMBER light flashes.
When I bring up the AirPort Utility I seen the AE...NOT with a green light BUT WITH AN AMBER LIGHT.
I can't keep track of certain messages but somewhere along trying to look at things I got some sort of message saying I didn't have a valid IP Number.
I HAVE turned the DSL Modem off ... and even rebooted my machine just for the heck of it.
I am so frustrated...I suppose it is REALLY EASY for an expert...
Signed, not very happy camper to say the least!

Don't know if this helps, but this was my experience:
- put the cables in place and booted up the AE
- amber light flashing, no wireless
- hooked up ethernet
- see the AE, and configured it (I use 192.* internal instead of the default 10.*)
- reboot - still amber light
- ah - remember that the cable modem has to reboot too, so switch off AE, reboot cable modem, switch on AE, and ----amber light flashing
- go into utility, manual configuration - it said that I had no security on the wireless enabled - okayed that
- reboot AE, and guess what ; green light
- ethernet connection works ok, wireless net is not recognized by my macbook pro
- so, changed the default set-up (of 802.11 b/g/n compatibility) to 802.11 a
- see network - why the latter? I have no idea....
Hope this helps

  • Ive just got a new iPhone4 and I am trying to get the App's ie games from my iPhone3 onto the 4 and retain the same levels that I have reached on the 3, The Apps have gone onto the 4 but its making me re-start everything from level 1?

    Ive just got a new iPhone4 and I am trying to get the App's ie games from my iPhone3 onto the 4 and retain the same levels that I have reached on the 3,
    The Apps have gone onto the 4 but its making me re-start everything from level 1?
    Ive paid $$ for the games and then more $$ within the games via iTunes for in game purchases and desperatly want the games on the 4 with the levels that I have reached on the 3!
    Can anyone help!! Please!!!! My Smurfs and Animals are starving Hahahaha

    Mate, it's good to hear that you have gotten the iPhone 4 but sorry to burst your bubbles. Not all games can have the "saved" data ported over.
    Normally when you save a game in iPhone, the memory used is in the flash memory of the device. Those that can be ported over, reason is due to the data being saved over the air and when you logged in on a new device, it recognises you via the userID.
    Maybe you can try to backup your iPhone 3, and restore the file onto your iPhone 4. Not too sure if that would brick your phone though.

  • HT1373 i have a broken desktop which had my itunes account on it. I am trying to get the information onto a new laptop and itunes programme but cannot. I also cannot get my iphone 5 to be recognized on the new itunes. HELP

    i have a broken desktop which had my itunes account on it.
    I am trying to get the information onto a new laptop and itunes programme but cannot. I have only managed to copy over some of my music as i had it on an external drive.
    I also cannot get my iphone 5 to be recognized on the new itunes.
    HELP

    iTunes as you see it in the application window uses a series of files and folders contained in the iTunes folder.  Some people make the mistake of only backing up their media in which case all you have is a bunch of media files without the iTunes structure.  In that case you have to build a new library yourself.
    What exactly do you mean "not recognized"?  The phone does not show up on the computer at all, or it does but it says it will wipe the phone?  The wipe the phone stuff is again because it cannot find the original library to which it was synced.  You need to transfer the entire iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup you made of it.

  • Trying to get the New Rascal Flatts Album....

    I have been trying to get the new Rascal Flatts Album (Unstoppable) using the complete my album feature. I bought the four singles from the countdown to the album thing. When I go to my "Complete My Albums" page, it doesn't show up there. I went to the album main page and clicked "Buy Album." I confirm I wanna buy the album and a pop-up window comes up saying I have bought 4 songs previously that meet the requirements for the "Complete My Album." I click complete my album, but it does NOT download ANYTHING!
    I don't want to pay $4 more to get the album. I was told that I could buy it for $7 TODAY using this feature as long as I bought the four singles. I did buy them and I don't really wanna go through and buy them yet again.

    Presuming you're using the latest version of iTunes (if not, you might try updating), contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form at the bottom of the Purchase Issues FAQ web page and explain the problem to them.
    Good luck.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • There was an error trying to get the status of the job. 1: The server returned an error processing CloseJob: Stack empty.

    Hi
    While trying to perform the operation 'Annul All Below' in DRM 11.1.2.1, I received the following error: There was an error trying to get the status of the job. 1: The server returned an error processing CloseJob: Stack empty.
    Has anyone seen this error before, and does anyone know what the fix is?
    Thanks,

    Just giving my view on this.
    When you try to restore a Version backup file, you get this error.
    This is a known defect.  The problem is caused by missing values in properties like AddedOn, AddedBy, which may occur when a version is copied with 'Clear Changed Properties' selected.
    this is a known bug
    but to workaround - Blend the affected version into a new, empty version, which will populate the 'ChangedOn' properties. You can then back up this version and it will restore.
    Thanks,

  • VB2008 - Trying to get the Win Viewer to ShowNextPage when scrolling

    I am trying to get the viewer to sense when I scroll to the bottom of the page and then trigger a new page automatically in my Windows application.  I am using VB2008 (in VS) and .Net 2.
    The problem is that many of the standard events don't seem to trigger or the VerticalScroll.Value is always 0.  Here are some examples that will not trigger:
       Private Sub CRViewer_Scroll(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ScrollEventArgs) Handles CRViewer.Scroll
          If CRViewer.VerticalScroll.Value = 100 Then
             MsgBox("at the end")
             CRViewer.ShowNextPage()
          End If
       End Sub
    And one that will not show a scroll value greater than zero.
       Private Sub frmViewer_MouseWheel(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseWheel
          If CRViewer.VerticalScroll.Value = CRViewer.VerticalScroll.Maximum Then
             MsgBox("at the end")
             CRViewer.ShowNextPage()
          End If
       End Sub
    Does anyone know why the .Scroll event does not trigger or why the value of the VerticalScroll is always at zero?
    I have the viewer toolbar and grouptree set to false but I can't see why that would cause a problem.  Is there anything else I should be setting so that the viewer will trigger events of standard forms?
    TIA rasinc

    You will have to use the winform scroll event, not the Crystal Report vieweru2019s event.
    1) Create a winform thatu2019s the full width of the viewer page, but shorter (vertically) than the page being previewed
    2) Adjust the size of the viewer vertically so it does not fit on the form and views without scrollbars
    3) Add a vertical scrollbar to the winform. A winform has the property Autoscroll which is False by default, set it to True and scrollbars show up.
    4) Use the winformu2019s scroll event and change pages when you scroll to the bottom of the winform.
    5) The code:
    Private Sub Form1_Scroll(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ScrollEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Scroll
            If Me.AutoScrollPosition.Y <= -450 Then
                CrystalReportViewer1.ShowNextPage()
            End If
        End Sub
    And/oru2026
        Private Sub Form1_MouseWheel(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseWheel
            If Me.AutoScrollPosition.Y <= 450 Then
                CrystalReportViewer1.ShowNextPage()
            End If
        End Sub
    The code has the vertical position hardcoded.  You would need to figure out a fancy formula to calculate the bottom scroll coordinate if the window is resizeable or if viewer zooming is enabled (ie keep track of the size of the form, the size of the viewer control and I believe the size of the slider in the scrollbar (I think there are max/min properties that can be set for the slider so it might be possible to set its size).  Iu2019ve only tried showing that it will work by testing with the fixed value.  The easiest solution would be to disable resizing of the form hosting the viewer control.  The behavior is a bit annoying in that you may not get to view the bottom of a page when scrolling down since it jumps to the next page.
    Finally, creadit , where credit due. The solution is not mine. I was able to get Dan P. who on ocassion post here also to do all the heavy lifting on this one.

  • HT201269 Hi, I have 227 songs in my itunes, when im trying to get them to new iphone 5s-only 66 songs are coming, memory is not full, any helpfull tips pls?

    Hi, I have 227 songs in my itunes, when im trying to get them to new iphone 5s-only 66 songs are coming, memory is not full, any helpfull tips pls?Thnx

    I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.

  • Computer Crashed- trying to get songs onto new iTunes

    My computer crashed a few weeks ago. I am trying to get the songs I purchased on my "old" computer that are now only on my iPod onto my "new" computer. I somehow was only able to transfer 3 songs that I had bought. I don't know how I could only transfer 3 and not the rest. Please help!

    Were the songs all purchased from a single Store account or from more than one. If the songs were purchased under different accounts then you would need to authorise the computer for each one. Failing that there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists (including purchases) from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

  • Trying to get the Opening and Closing Balance, 0TOTALSTCK and 0VALSTCKVAL

    Hi Experts, Good Day.
    I am developing a query for Stock Balances, Using Custom cube created with copy from 0ic_c03.
    I am trying to get the Opening and Closing Balance, based on Non-Cumulative KF - 0TOTALSTCK and 0VALSTCKVAL.
    Both The KF's Behaviour for Exception Aggregat. = Last Value
    I am using VARIABLE OFFSET as -1 to get Opening Balance, and just restriction for Closing Balance based on 0CALMONTH
    Unfortunately i am getting data for the periods which does not have data in my Cube. It is taking the total value as closing balance for the periods which we don't have transaction in the cube.
    For Ex. I have data for 09.2010 & 10.2010 a particular material, when i enter 08.2010 as input i am getting the total value of the material.
    I hope you understand the problem and solution soon.
    I will give you more explanation if needed.
    Thanks in Advance....
    Have a great Day Ahead.....
    GopalN

    Hi GopaIN,
    can you explain us process you have done about initialization of data (2LIS_03_BX, cube compression)? it seams like there was data before 09.2010 and you load it with 2LIS_03_BX data source. That data is not in cube, but just used for update markers.
