Two Unrelated Questions (Well they are about the Airport so...)

I have 2 Airport Extremes, and would like to use one as a repeater or alternate access point is this possible?
Secondly, I have an external hard-drive that is plugged in usb and can't get it to read in finder or (sorry) PC laptop. Any advice??
Thanks in advance.

My dream is to use both units in the network and have a printer on one usb and a HD on the other.
It's hard to know in advance whether a printer will be compatible at the USB port on the AirPort Extreme (AEBS) so, I'm afraid that this will be one of those things that you just don't know until you try.
It's important to understand that compatible printers will do only that...print. If you have an all-in-one type of device, only the print function will work at the USB port on the AirPorts. Other features like copy, scan, fax, maintenance etc. will not be supported. You'll need to plug the device directly into a computer if you need these other services.
Connecting your downstairs AirPort Extreme (AEBS) should not be a difficult task and the setup should be straightforward. We can provide step by step if you need this or point you in the right direction if you've done this type of thing before.
We'll need to know whether the downstairs AEBS will be connecting to a simple one port modem or whether you have a gateway, which is a combination modem/router in one enclosure acting as your "modem".
I need to advise you upfront that placing another AEBS two floors up from the first is going to be an "iffy" proposition. The "extending" AEBS device needs to be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the AEBS downstairs.
IF...you have a laptop and you can receive a good, strong signal on the third floor now from the AEBS on floor one, then the upstairs AEBS will have enough signal to be able to "extend" it effectively. The "extending" device will not "boost" the signal as many users believe. It can only "extend" what it receives, so it must have a good signal to work with.
You may find that the upstairs AEBS may possibly need to be located at more of a "mid-point" between the first and third floors. Do you have flexibility for the placement of the upstairs AEBS if it will not work on the third floor?
I can help you on the configuration of the AEBS devices and provide some pointers on the printer. I'm not a PC guy, so I won't be able to provide much help on the hard drive issue.
Let us know how you want to proceed and we'll try to help.

I don't think I see my situation addressed. I have one mobile me account and a separate appleID for purchases. I have 4 devices and my wife has two. Right now they are all using the same mobile me account to sync just the calendar and address book.
1.) I want to add email syncing for my 4 devices and email syncing for my wife's two devices separately, but we want to sync and share the same calendar and address book. Is this possible?
2.) I also have 5 different calendars, one for work, one for home, one for... etc. Is there a way to have different devices only sync certain calendars and not others or is it an all or nothing deal?
Thanks in advance for any tips!

To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photosstream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
Generally speaking it is not a good idea to share an iCloud account between different people, it often results in contracts, calendars et cetera being deleted by others. Saying that however you can add secondary iCloud accounts to your devices at settings> mail, contacts, calendars. Secondary accounts do not have all the features of a primary account, but are often very useful. Because you can enable or disable each individual feature of an iCloud account, you can cover almost any situation by using secondary accounts.

I had an imap account in my iPad and my iPhone 4. They worked just fine till about Christmas. They act like they are checking the mail and it shows there is mail to come in, but it just goes back to saying checking mail. Can't send mail either.

Update to above question:
Hello All,
To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
So this fix worked for me.
After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.

When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library - but two are missing from the folder.

When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library, and all synced to the iPad - but the music from two of them are missing from the music folder. Questions are (a) where might they have gone? and (b) is there a way of "reverse loading" them back to my hard drive from the iPad? Thanks in advance!

Hi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -
Download past purchases
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email. I have since assigned two different emails. How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
If so, you can change it.
1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
3. Log in with a different ID.

HT2905 My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial. I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added". Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs? Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list.

My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial. I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added". Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs? Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list. Why???

'Show duplicates' is now under the 'View' menu. To see the 'Date added' column go to 'View options' from the 'View' menu and check it in the section under 'Stats'.
Click an audiobook once to select it and hit command-i (Mac) or control-i (Windows). Go to the 'Options' tab and set 'Media Kind' to 'Audiobook'.

When I updated my Apple TV it shows about 10 computers on my network when I only have one computer on my network and they are all the same....why did this happen? I only have one computer linked to the Apple TV

when I updated my Apple tv it now shows about 10 computers on my network which I only have one tv...how do I get rid of the other "computers" listed as they are all the same, this was not happening before I updated the Apple TV

It looks to be a bug. A reboot to computer and/or Apple TV may resolve it.

Two unrelated questions, syncing and mail

I have two unrelated questions.
1. I can't seem to for the life of me copy playlists between devices. Both my IPod Nano and my IPhone 4s are connected to my computer right now. Using autofill, I was able to put all the music in my ITunes library on my phone, but when I sellect the playlists, copy and paste them, they won't move and remain only on the IPod and the computer. Can someone please tell me how to get them onto my phone? There are currently no playlists on the phone.
2. My other question is about mail, whenever I send a mail, the phone says that it was rejected by the server and a copy has been placed in my outbox. What's going on here?

1) Is the "Manually Manage Music and Videos" box checked under the Summary tab in iTunes on each of your devices?
2) Try deleting the account under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and then re-add it.

My iPhone has my daughter's music but those same songs do not show up on the computer in the list of songs on my iPhone. They are in the library though

Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
Here's that thread...

Is there a way to "mix" the nodes and leaves of the tree so if they are at the same level, they will display in a specified order.

Is there a way to "mix" the nodes and leaves of the tree so that even if they are at the same level (1,2,3...), they will display in a specified order (via sort sequence, alphabetical, etc.).
History:
We are using the Tree UI element to display/manage a material bom interface. We seem to be running into an issue with displaying the nodes/leaves of the tree.. regardless of the order that the context is built (which is currently the order of the exploded BOM from from CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2), the bom is displayed with the nested boms at the top of each level and the single materials below them. For example. If TK1 contains Material1, Material2, Material3, Kit1(containing component1, comp2, comp3), Material4, Kit2(containing comp4, comp5, comp6), and Material5 (in this order), the tree will display with the A level node as TK1, the next node as Kit1 (with its subleaves of comp1,comp2,comp3), Kit2(with subleaves of comp4,comp5,comp6), THEN Material1, material2, material3, material4, material5. Our users are adamant about the items displaying in the correct order (which should be alphabetical based on the description for one report and by location for purposes of inventory for another). I've searched but not been able to locate a similar question. If I've missed it, please point me in the right direction. The users want the tree, not a "tree" table. This is our first attempt at the tree, so maybe we're missing something basic?
TK1
-Mat1
-Mat2
-Mat3
-Kit1
--Comp1
--Comp2
--Comp3
-Mat4
-Kit2
--Comp4
--comp5
--comp6
-Material5
displays as
TK1
-Kit1
--Comp1
--Comp2
--Comp3
-Kit2
--Comp4
--Comp5
--Comp6
-Mat1
-Mat2
-Mat3
-Mat4
-Mat5

co-workers said example picture is misleading.. we can make the order work if everything is a "folder" but not a mix of "folders" and "files" (if making a visual reference to the windows browser). i.e - a file is represented as an empty folder.
TK1
. Mat1
. Mat2
. mat3
> kit1
.. comp1
.. comp2
.. comp3
. mat4
> kit2
.. comp4
.. comp5
.. comp6
. mat5
displays at
TK1
> kit1
.. comp1
.. comp2
.. comp3
> kit2
.. comp4
.. comp5
.. comp6
. mat1
. mat2
. mat3
. mat4
. mat5
we can make it work if everything is a folder. This is our current workaround.
TK1
> mat1
> mat2
> mat3
v kit1 (when expanded)
.. comp1
.. comp2
.. comp3
> mat4
> kit2 (when not expanded)
> mat5

Some artists dont show up on my list even tho they are on the ipod

When I go thru the menu and click on artists, there are about 10 artists that do not show up. I know that they are on the ipod, and if I go thru albums instead I can find the full album, but it just doesnt show up thru artists. There doesnt seem to be anything odd about the track, and they were uploaded from the cd. Does anyone know whats going on?!

There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder.

HT4796 Migration assistant is telling me that it has lost connection with my Mac and to ensure they are on the same network. They are, and an ethernet cable is plugged into them. What do i do?

Migration Assistant has been running since yesterday evening. My Dell is now telling me that its trying to reconnect to my Mac and to ensure they are both using the same network. I have an Ethernet cable plugged in them and they are both on the same WiFi. What can I do?

Hello Wyodor,
thanks for your reply on my question.
You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)
greetings Lasource
