Unable to change profiles on Express

I have both an AirPort Extreme and an Express. I have the Extreme as my base station and my Express configured to join my network to stream AirTunes on my stereo. This setup works fine, but I want to take my Express to my parents' house and use it as a base station there and be able to use my laptop wirelessly. I created two profiles, one for home and one for at my parents. The home profile includes the join existing wireless network option, the parents profile creates a wireless network. I created the profiles while at home, took the Express over to my parents and jacked in to their router. AAU did not recognize the Express. The yellow light just kept blinking. I did a reset on it and went through setting it up using AirPort Setup Utility. Worked fine, profile was still there. Went home and AAU didn't recognize Express again. Hard reset, etc.,etc. I was under the impression that by simply plugging in the Express that AAU would see the Express, I would select it, click configure, and select my profile. It doesn't seem to work like that. I even tried connecting some CAT5 cable between my PowerBook and the ethernet connection on the Express to no avail. How are you supposed to change profiles for different locations?
PowerBook G4, Blue and White G3>4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

The problem is that client mode on the Express turns
off the access point functionality so that you cannot
connect to it. It's a necessary consequence of a
device that's as versatile as the Airport Express.
Hmm. Unfortunately I guess that makes sense (and would explain why plugging in with an ethernet cable didn't even get me access). So the only way to get around a reset is to change the profile prior to pulling the AX off the network it's a client of? Makes sense, but still seems like an unresolved design problem.
The upside though, if I do a bit of infering from what you've suggested, is that the AX (currently running as Remote) may switch to Client automatically when I get back to my other location. If it does, then at least one pre-emptive switch declaration is eliminated. One could hope.

Unable to change Profile picture in Windows 8

I recently upgraded to Windows 8. The upgrade imported a picture from my Windows 7 Skype, and now I am unable to change the profile picture. There is no menu at the top in Windows 8, which prevents me from changing the profile picture.
What are my options for correcting this, and also how does one sign out of Skype in Windows 8?
Thanks so much.

Although I'd love to provide a proper response, unfortunately I too have only questions, which I'd hope someone could answer. "Opening Skype and clicking on the picture" isn't as helpful as one would hope. With Windows 8 -- in either mode, through either Google Chrome or IE10 -- there is not only no menu or options with either right or left clicking, but no clear way to change a profile picture through any other means. I've tried everything I could think of -- literally wasting HOURS trying to change this thing. Googling the question gets me only fixes that don't appear to apply. In fact, the lack of coherent help regarding anything having to do with Windows 8 is nothing short of mindboggling -- and I consider myself a pretty good finder-of-information normally!!! I read elsewhere in these forums (unfortunately lost to me now that I have signed in) that it may be a problem relating to whether my browser is 32 or 64 bit (if I read it right). I have since tried to load Chrome in 64 bit.... probably unsuccessfully, given I still can't seem to do much differently. Being a bit of a techno-dud I don't know how to check which version I now have as even with the "about:version" function, the reply isn't definitive to my untrained eye (unless WOW64 means something?). I need things somewhat dummied down. I'm totally new to both Windows 8 and Skype (and for that matter Google Chrome, having always been a Firefox fan, which apparently is not working properly for Windows . ANY help that might be available would be greatly appreciated in making this experience less frustrating. Thank you for whatever you can do!!!

I am unable to change my credit card number, because my profile shows United States therefore it does not accept the phone area code, and zip number, because I live in Switzerland. Please inform me how to do it. Many thanks.

I am unable to change my credit card number because my apple profile shows me as a resident of the United States, although I live in Switzerland. Consequently I cannot edit my area code, zip number, State info, etc. Please advise me how to do it. Many thanks.

Hello Luis,
To update your billing information, you would need to change your iTunes Store country to be able to enter the information for Switzerland. I found an article with the steps to update this:
Change your iTunes Store country
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.
You can find the full article here:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

In CJ20N, unable to change the "Person Responsible"

Hi,
In cj20n, When I create a new WBS under a project, the system defaults the Person responsible from the Project level.
The field is display only and I am unable to change it. There is no substitution active in the project profile.
Could anyone help me to change the config so that the user can maintain the "Person Responsible" at the WBS level for the existing projects & the newly created projects.
Thanks in advance
WD

Hi.
Dd you check (OPUK) the field selection settings for this field? You can make it editable entry in there.

I am trying to create a master password on a new machine, but all I get when I hit enter is this message: "Unable to change Master Password".

Pretty much as per the question, when I try and set up a master password, the error message says "Unable to change Master Password". There isn't one to start with, so I'm just wanting to set one for the first time.

Did you copy any files from another computer to the profile folder on that new computer?
Do you already have saved passwords?
*Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
If you haven't then try to delete the key3.db file and possibly logins.json and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder.
Note that all saved passwords are lost when you delete these files.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

Unable to change WINS workgroup on new Macbook Air (Lion)

Hi all,
Just brought home a new Macbook Air 13. Was loving it until I started digging into networking.
Have found that i am unable to change the default workgroup in the WINS tab of networking. The default is simply "WORKGROUP"
In the automatic profile it is greyed out, but lets you type in a different name. That change is not saved though and is immediately discarded when you click OK.
Through some online research i found that others who have had this problem solved it by recreating that automatic profile and changing the name in the new one they create. When I do that, the workgroup name is no longer greyed out, but changing it is still not saved. As soon as I click on OK, the changes are immediately reverted.
I also found some advice online that suggested I needed to tweak setting in the Directory Access utility which could be found in Applications > Utilities. I found no such utility. Wiki states it was renamed to Directory Utility, but that was not there either. I did however find a 'directory utility' in System > Library > Core Services. Opening that showed the following services: Active Directory, LDAPv3, and NIS.
No SMB or CIS which I am assuming are the services required for WINS and workgroup related settings.
Any thoughts?

This might be a timing or propagation issue.
The settings I tried all last night to "save" - suddenly took hold sometime this morning. I made a lot of changes and did a lot of tests, wish I could tell you which one finally did the trick... but given the 8 hours it took to kick in there is simply no way for me to know.

Unable to change "Account country"

Hey there :) I lived in Germany, but I activated the premium-trial in Italy, where I was on holiday, so now it turns out that I can't use my account because on my profile says I'm in the USA and I am unable to change it. I had some email exchange with Spotify but they told me I can resolve my problem on my own, by simply clicking "Change Country" on my profile, but the image attached in this post says it all. I used various accounts in this year, now it could be useful to recover my old account, is there any chance to solve this?

Thank you Merik! Do not worry for the late reply, I've created my... 5 account on Spotify (because yes, I switched country -like... in person, not on the web- a lot of time in the last months). Aaand yes!! It's A Perfect Circle's track, 3 Libras it's a part of me and I use it as a pseudonym around the web :) Case number was: 02387098 ... I miss my old account! :) PS. my country is Italy... for good :) No more Germany/Italy :)

AirPort Utility unable to find any Apple Express devices.

Help! This is getting desperate. I bought an AEX for streaming music to my hifi. Installed it yesterday and it worked on both my desktop (running Vista) and my laptop (running XP). However I was experiencing sound dropouts on the Vista machine so, having researched on this forum, I tried to change a couple of settings in my wireless router (D Link DI524) to try and cure the problem.
My wireless network is still working fine but since making the changes the AirPort Utility software just keeps telling me that it is unable to find any Apple Express devices and I cannot make a connection. It is the same on both my desktop and my laptop.
I can't see why changing security settings in the router should prevent the Utility from connecting with the device as it has to do this during set up anyway to be incorporated into the network. I have tried a full re-set to factory settings but that didn't work. Any ideas? Otherwise this thing is going back to the store.

It's ok. It seems to have cured itself. And downloading Vista Anti Lag has cured the sound drop outs too.

Request please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Paresh

Hi Paresh,
You can proceed with deleting your SAP system from SMSY (along with connected technical content such as AS Java definition) and the run the LANDSCAPE FETCH through transaction SMSY_SETUP to have the correct definition of your SAP system in SMSY.
Following this, you could use the addon Landscape Verification (a new thing I learnt today!!!) to check the correctness of transaction SMSY. The following link details the Landscape verification 1.0 for SolMan:

Unable to change "Your name" in BIS

I have my Gmail account set up in BIS and everything is working perfectly, however, I am unable to change the "Your name:" field to anything other than what's already there. I've tried deleting the account and re-adding it in there from the web site as well as from my BB to no avail. When I change the field, I don't get an error and I receive a message saying "Email account successfully updated." but it doesn't stay. For some reason, just my last name is in there (i.e. Smith) but I would like to change the "Your name:" field to my full name: John Smith.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? TIA!

What did your mobile operator have to say about it? This seems to be a problem specific to them. They can disable most of the fields your BIS account.

Unable to change setings, was in Siri, got 'jammed'

This 'Senior' got jammed-up. Unable to change settings, settings unresponsive and am stuck in Siri. Problem happened IN SIRI, now can't change settings to even access the Siri option.
SETTINGS WON'T LET ME ACCESS OPTIONS 'below level of Wallpaper'. Swipe won'r allow to go to any other screen in settings.
This happened in SIRI and I can't even disable 'turn-off' Siri
Unable to close applications on bottom of screen as well, as usually done.
The 'voice mode' is on, and that is what jammed everything up.
The only appications which show 'open on screen are' Messages,Phone, Settings and Safari, Mail, Music, and I am prevented from 'closing them'.
I did a turn-off, began again with the apple logo but can't reset.
Can't get past the first screen in my apps.
I BELIEVE it is a SIRI problem but can't change settings other than 'Airplane Mode through Wallpaper.'
I bet there is someone who would help a 'Grandma'!
What on Earth IS wrong?!!! and how can I get 'out of it' without going to the Apple Store.
Tiny store ,International Record as "Smallest Apple Store in the World", Santa Rosa, California..and they aren't much interested in giving-up that claim to fame!
it's usually like the 'final boarding of Noah's Ark in there" and NOT a fun place to be!!!

User's Group,
Immediate help from randers4 got me 'back in business'. I would have not beieved I could have done this without a trip to the store and a distant appointment date.
Things seemed messed-up beyond my ability to affect any change!
Alone, this would not have been possible. I feel I learned a great deal about the IOS 5 system's Siri quirks.
This is what it is all about.
People helping others who know less than they do!
Gratitude is such a small word,
this was monumental for me to have done even with the assistance of another person.

Unable to change Date Created in Metadata

Please help with my first post...
Unable to change Date Created field in Metadata.
I am a newspaper photographer sending .jpg pics with captions to my office from my iMac. They are viewed at the office on Windows PCs using SCC MediaGrid.
When changing Date Created in Metadata Invalid Format warning appears "Format should be ISO 8601 XML compliant, that is YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm[:ss][tz] (eg 2006-07-11T13:14:30-07:00)"
If 2009-09-26, for example, is entered then exported pictures opened up in Photoshop or shown on SCC MediaGrid do not display the date.
To get dates to show up I first have to open a pic in Photoshop, go to File Info, enter 26/9/09 in Date Created and Save As.
Next I have to Import this into Aperture where the Date Created shows as "20090926".
Using Lift Metadata and Stamp Metadata the date can be transferred to other pics.
Now when I export these pics the date does show up in Photoshop and SCC MediaGrid.
Can Date Created be typed straight into field in Aperture?...Very important when pics go into archive on a server.
Also if I hit Return key in a Metadata Caption, to type on the next line, both lines will appear as one with a small square in-between them when viewed on SCC MediaGrid on a Windows PC.
Thanks in anticipation.

Nick I don't generallt use the IPTC metadata, so I'm not sure I will be too much help.
What version of Aperture are you using? I tried both things and I didn't have any problems with the latest version of Aperture on my Mac.
I was able to enter a date into "Date Created" both with and without the time-zone adjustment. Can you tell us the exact string you tried to enter into the "Date Created" and exactly when you get the error? I tried to enter my time zone (eastern US) as "-5:00", but Aperture wouldn't let me enter the 5 and popped up the error message when I typed that key. I had to use "-05:00".
As for the caption, when I hit return, Aperture ends my edit. I cannot reproduce your described behavior of actually getting a new-line into the field. I suspect your problem (although I don't know how you get to your problem) is one of the following:
1) The IPTC standard doesn't tell if the software should use a Unix-style end-of-line (which is a line-feed), or a DOS/Windows style end-of-line (which is carriage-return followed by line-feed). Aperture may put in the Unix-style and your Windows programs don't know what to do with it.
2) The IPTC standard does indicate the end-of-line style, but either Aperture or your other programs don't follow it.
or
3) IPTC Metadata doesn't actually support end-of-line, so Aperture should not allow you to enter multiple lines, but it has a bug so it does allow you to do that.
Can you tell us where exactly you are editing the caption? I tried it in the inspector pane (on the left) in the "Metadata" tab, and then I hit the "IPTC" button at the bottom of the tab.

Unable to change font color from white

In any new or previously saved Pages documents, I am unable to view the font. I know the text is there, because when highlighted, the text shows as white, but I am unable to change it to any other color. This has never been a problem before. Ideas? Would this have something to do with not updating to iWork'09?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
