Trying to set up Airport and airport u
I am trying to set up airport and following the set up guide. After loading Airport extreme software and launching airport utility .. it doesn't find any airport wireless devices. Even though the airport express is plugged in next to the iMac with the flashing amber light going...help
Welcome to the discussions!
By default, the Airport Extreme is set to create a wireless network with a name like "apple network abc123". If you want to try to configure it using wireless, click the fan shaped Airport icon at the top of your screen and look for this network so you can connect and AirPort Utility can communicate with the device. If you don't see it, click Join Other Networks to see if you can find it and log on.
Alternately, it is usually much easier to simply temporarily connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme so AirPort Utility can "see" the device that way. Once configured, you can disconnect the ethernet cable.
Click Continue to follow the guided setup to configure your AirPort Extreme.

On the initial set up for apple tv it just sits there trying to set the date and time . it is a wireless setup and the ipaddress and router address is correct . I can't get by this screen. The setting is on automatic and I have picked a city in my time zone yet it still tries to set a time and date but fails.
thanksMake sure router is up to date. Try ethernet to rule out any wifi issues. Reboot ATV and router.

Trying to set up mail and iCloud in iPhone4. It keeps saying verification failed. And the request timed out? Not sure what to do. I do have an iCloud account and am able to log on to it on computer and see mail, contacts, etc. Any ideas?
thanks for any helpausask64 wrote:

If you see the white WiFi bars in the upper left corner, that simply means that the iPad has detected a WiFi network, and that does not mean that you are connected to the Internet.

I haven't set up my game center with my apple id so when i am trying to set it up and get to birth date part it starts all over how do i fix this?
If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

What is the maximum operating time of the airport and airport extreme?
What is the maximum operating time of the airport and airport extreme? Can I leave it on for long periods of time, like never turning it off? Will it affect the performance of the said products?
Apple does not include an "Off" button on the AirPorts since they assume that you will leave it on all the time, like you would a modem.
If you are going to be gone for a week or two, it might make sense to power everything off during that time.
Otherwise, leaving the device(s) "On" actually results in less stress on the device that constantly turning it "Off" and "On". In other words, odds are the device will last longer if you leave it "On" most of the time.
Apple does not publish a life expectancy for the devices, but 5-7 years...on average....for a modem or router is about right....my opinion here. -
I'm trying to install Time Machine and Airport Update V 1.0 but installer
keeps returning error message: You cannot install Time Machine and AirPort Updates on this volume. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.2 or newer.
I am in fact running 10.5.6. Would the fact that this update was dated in March of 2008 have anything to do with it? I think it's the latest update for TM and Airport.
Any suggestions?Kappy, how'd you get so smart. On further investigation I discovered that I had already downloaded and installed that update. I will follow your advice in the future, not risking showing off as a fool.

Hi,
I am trying to set up iCloud on my various devices. When I log in with my iTunes (Apple id) it keeps coming back and stating
"Verify your account. This Apple ID's email address cannot be verified. Change your apple ids email address at appleid.apple.com to sig into i cloud"
My apple id has been alive and in use for years on iTunes etc. I have tried a different address and password and still get the same result
Help???
Regards
BrianIf your email address is valid, just go to https://appleid.apple.com/, click "Manage your account" to the right,sign in, click Name, ID, and Email Addresses to the left, then click "Verify now" next to your email address. Apple will send you an email to this address with a verification link. Otherwise add an alternate email address that can be verified.

Hello tom,
I understand you are having issues activating an iPhone 3G. The following article addresses the exact error message you included:
iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424
Resolution
- Restart the iPhone.
- Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
- Try connecting to Wi-Fi if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
- Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
- Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore.
Thanks,

i am trying to set up account for new printer and HP site says email address already exits. When I go to forgot password and enter email, HP is saying email address does not exist.
Hope you are doing well Bruce_Evatt;
Do you have another HP account in existence?
Normally when someone has this issue, they have an existing Snapfish HP account.
To eliminate this as the culprit let's do the following;
1. Go to www.snapfish.com and click on "log in" at the top right.
2. On the splash screen that comes up click on the "forgot your password" link and submit your email.
3. You should receive an email with a link and a temporary password.
4. Click on the link and log in with the temp password.
5. Change your password to something that has at least 6 characters (at least 1 of those should be a number).
6. Go back to www.eprintcenter.com and click on Sign In.
7. On the next screen do not put your email or password, but click on the small Snapfish below.
8. On the splash screen that comes up log in with your email and the password you just created at Snapfish.
This should merge your HP accounts and you should be able to log in to www.eprintcenter.com normally after that. Do not hesitate to contact me if you feel I may be of any further assistance I will do my best to help you.
Hope this helps!

It sounds like he is setting up the iPod via wif. You can't continue. What yo can do is reset the iPod
- Reset the iOS device.
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then start the setup over again but this time connect the iPod to a computer and set up via iTunes. Then he can troubleshoot the connection proboem. -
