Well, is this wierd or just stupid?

We had a big storm here in western Washington. Power was out for about three hours. Lost my DSL for 24 hours. It came back on but my Airport Extreme base station seems to have died. It worked fine out of the box for about three months. While I was waiting for my DSL to come back, the modem had a red light indicating no internet connection. The Airport only blinked on two lights, not three. The ISP's tech said, pull the airport and plug your modem into the Powerbook directly. Voila, it worked fine again. I can get on line as long as the Airport is out of the system. Here's the weird part. My Powerbook was acting really weird, seemed like a bike about to crash, the spinning beachball of death, super slow, really gummed up. No amount of repairing permissions, updating pre-binding etc. made any difference. I was going to re-install. Then I unplugged the Airport and stayed directly conneccted to the modem and voila, the PB is working fine again. I guess I'll throw the Airport in the dumpster. Anybody else seen anything like this, and what did you do? Thanks!
Rick

Try the following before dumping the AEBS...
- Power-off the DSL modem, & AEBS. (Wait for at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- While the network components are down, perform a "hard" reset of the AEBS. (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451)
- Power-on the DSL modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.

    Hi!
    This might be a stupid question, but I just bought an IPod G5 60 GB. When you firstconnect your IPod you have to setup your ID. I'm using my brothers computer, who has an IPod too, so now I'm wondering when I set up my ID with his Itunes does his Ipod still work with it??? Or would his ITunes just see my IPod? Or does his Ipod ID change to my ID?
    Or does it work without any problems, to setup two IDs on the same computer??
    Thanks!

  • This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

    Actually, another person on the "more like this" had the right answer. It meant I had a notification for an invite that I needed to respond to.
    Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

  • You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 71 days. Whats the deal???

    You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 71 days. Whats the deal???

    You can use multiple AppleIDs to purchase new music but you are limited as to how frequently you can change authorizations for re-downloading  past purchases.  It may well be a measure to deter piracy by stopping a group of people from going around to a friend's computer and downloading purchases on the other person's computer.  It is easy to avoid by making sure you have backup copies on drives at home so you never need to redownload anything.

  • HT4913 how to remove this ?  You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 85 days.

    You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 85 days.

    If a computer has been associated with a device (as well as iTunes Matct, it can become associated via automatic downloads or re-downloading past purchases) then you will either need to wait until the 90 days have completed : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    Or you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days

    I have a mac which my fiancee and I share. There are 2 separate accounts and 2 separate apple ids used to buy different music (i.e. we have 2 separate iphones and music collections).
    I received the following error (see uploaded image) which states that, "you can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days".
    Now, when I sync my iTunes and iPhone only some music that I have previously purchases is affected. For some reason they failed to sync with my iPhone and become unavailable in my iTunes ("file cannot be found"). When I deleted the record I saw that it became available for download in iTunes and then discovered this issue.
    I have legally purchased the music and just want to be able to sync the files legitimately. It just seems very restrictive to say that you have to have 2 different machines for every account (i.e. you cannot have multiple users on a device with their own accounts which each have their own Apple IDs).

    Hi
    No - that is the issue - both my husband and I use the same computer and want to be able to use our individual Apple IDs so can access our download content e.g. I-books that we have purchased through our other MAC devices such as I-Pad.  In the past, we had four people using one computer with no problem regarding Apple ID.   In the newer operating system, we are now restricted to one at a time - it means one of us is blocked out from accessing our content for a period of 90 days.   Have you any suggestions on how we can both use our individual Apple IDs with the same lap-top?  We have set up discrete accounts so we log on to the computer individually.  Many thanks for any help.

  • HT204053 I want to play newly purchased music but cant, i get the message "You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. (mobileme family pack is the problem i think)

    Youll get that message when you change the iTunes account you are logged into, you can't keep changing it.

    "Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
    In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
    Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
    In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
    That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.
