Why do i get an error message while trying to connect to airport network?

i just installed an airport card in an iMac G5, archived and installed Tiger, updated everything (while connected via ethernet) and now when i'm trying to connect to the wi fi network in the house i keep on getting a message saying there's an error while trying to connect to the network. i have a PowerMac G5 connected wirelessly with no problems, i have an iBook connected to an Airport Express via ethernet and a Mac Mini connected to an ethernet port on the Airport Extreme Base Station. there's a DSL modem connected to the other ethernet port on the Base Station. occasionally the iMac will connect to the network, but that's once every few restarts or log outs.
help.

i called apple support and they said after trying tons of software related tweaks and such that it's probably the airport card and to see if it's in correctly and if it is just exchange it for a new one.

Why am I getting an error message when trying to use a template?

Why am I getting an error message when trying to use a Pages template?

You are getting an error message because there is an error.
Knowing wht version of Pages you are using, what template you are attempting to open, and what error message Pages is sending you might help determine why you are getting that specific rror message. Without those, the first sentence above i pretty much all that can be said with any assurance.

Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv file?

I went through the forums and made sure that any blocks or copywrites weren't triggered by the file, it's clean and can be opened using a media player and other video editing software like windows MovieMaker. I keep getting "The importer reported a generic error" message and have no idea how to proceed. Can someone please help?

Re: Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv file?
This ARTICLE starts with a checklist on setting up a computer to run PrE best, then goes into a series of links for tuning up one's computer and OS, and then links on troubleshooting.
There is also a link on posting all necessary info, to help others help you.
Without knowing much more about your system, it is impossible to say much beyond that WMV's are tough assests to work with, requiring a lot of CPU horsepower.
Good luck,

Getting an error message while trying to update Adobe AIR.

I keep getting this error message while trying to update Adobe AIR:
Sorry, an error has occurred.
This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance.
*Please help me resolve this issue.

Sundeep, I'm getting the same message.
I'm on OS 10.5.8
I've downloaded the Adobe AIR Installer, but the installer always indicates that it will update Adobe AIR
Installed: 1.5.2.8870
Update: 1.5.3.9130
A spotlight search for these two log files produces nothing.
I also followed your instructions here:
Double-click the Terminal application located at /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
Type cd /Users/userName.
Type echo > .airinstall.log and/or echo > .airappinstall.log "
But terminal replies with "No such file or directory"

Why am I receiving an error message while trying to change my phone number?

So I have been trying to change my phone number for a few days now and every single time I get this error message, before i even start, "The activity you are trying to perform is currently unavailable. Please try again later." I was hoping to circumvent the 15$ fee of doing it over the phone. Finally, I decided to do an online chat, the associate did not know why the error was occurring but informed me in order to change my number over chat, i would STILL have to pay the 15$ fee. Something struck me as so wrong there, so conveniently the change features and phone number part of the website was not working, however the view/pay your bill part was always working properly, never received any error messages there. I understood it was not the associates fault however. Still that is wrong. If it was not urgent I would wait. Yes I could have tried the number block, that section was not working either, but having to renew which numbers you want blocked every couple of months makes no sense to me, if I want something blocked, i want it blocked permanently not just for 90 days. Yes I tried call/SMS blocker apps from the app store but they're faulty in that they still give you notifications of when the blocked person/number called/text or do not always block everything all the time. But when it came down to it, even the associate encountered the error message while trying to change my number. So why is this happening. Verizon is expensive but the reception is better however theirs always issues when I need to fix something. Its frustrating

Verizon was having a problem on their end, perhaps a server down for some repair or updating. However you were already aware that there was an on-going problem in your own posting and you decided to continue on.I can understand you wanting this done and trying to save the $15.00 fee. However I would have waited a bit longer until the Verizon issue had been corrected. Yes it is frustrating but again you know in advance of a problem , I can understand that this is most upsetting for you but never try to perform any change when a problem is there and I also do not like to do business on a weekend with no live tech support available. I'm sure this will all work out for you if given some time. Sorry.
So I have been trying to change my phone number for a few days now and every single time I get this error message, before i even start, "The activity you are trying to perform is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

I get an error message when trying to connect to time capsule*

So I have set up my TC and tried backing up my MBA using TM, but I keep getting this error message and cant even connect to the TC
Don't know what to do. Other Macs in my house connect and back up fine and they run Snow Leopard. My MBA runs Lion. I have read that this may be the reason why this is happening, but how do I fix this?
Any help much appreciated.

You could try a Reset as per this excellent Time Machine Guide.
I must be fortunate as I backup to TC from an assortment of Lion and SL MacBooks and iMacs. I do not let TM run auto-backups but do it manually from each system, as required.

Why am I getting an error message when trying to burn my CD collection to iTunes.

The message "Error occurred while converting the file (song title). The required disk cannot be found".
Only two particular CDs were affected with this error message while all the rest were ok. I'm burning them via an Apple USB SuperDrive onto my MacBook Air. The CDs in question are Flight of the Conchords and Goldie Lookin Chain (if that makes one iota of difference). Does anyone have any suggestions?

Why am I getting an error message when trying to download iOS 6.0.1?

Given that iOS 6 and 6.0.1 have been out for a good few days now, why am I still getting an error message? Is it simply a case of keep trying??

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Why do I get an error message when trying to Extrude and Bevel my image?

I am making a logo for a friend and he wants something similar to the Stark House symbol. (The Direwolf) but as a dragon instead. I used the pen tool to make the shape, and now I want to fill it in and make it more 3D. I can't fill it in properly and my image gets an error message when I try to Extrude and Bevel. Why is this?

error message,
Is the path/shape closed?
Selecting it and Ctrl/Cmd+J should close it if not, then you may try again.
You may also have a look in the Document Infor palette with Objects ticked in the flyout and the path selected.

Why do I get: "An error occurred while trying to submit your post. Please try again."

Hi, I get this error: "An error occurred while trying to submit your post. Please try again." when trying to reply to a post. Just started today. How can I resolve this?

There are certain words and phrases which are banned because of spammers: if you inadvertently include one of these you usually get the message that you have included content which is not allowed.
I've had the 'an error occurred' message several times; in each case I've copied the post, clicked the 'Cancel' button, waited a few seconds than then replied again, pasting in the text, and it's worked. It appears to be juste a server glitch.

Why do I get an error message when trying to open PE 8.0 projects with PE9.0?

I am trying to open a project in PE 9.0 that I made with PE 8.0. Each time, and with different projects, I get this error message:
"Projects created with Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Premiere Elements are not compatible. Please use apropriate application to open this project."
I have never used Adobe Premiere Pro nor is in installed on my computer! I updated my PE 8.0 with the patch that came out last year.
My Operating System is Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3, system specs are SATA 2 RAID 1 with dual 1 TB hard drives. 4 GB RAM. I have an Intel Core2 processor Q6600 (2.4 Ghz, 1066 FSB) with Quad Core technology and 8 MB cache, 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800 MHz.
My hard drive has been defragmented and have 779 GB or 83 percent free space.

Can you create a test Project in PrE 9 and does that work. If so, close that Project and then Open it again in PrE 9.
It could be as simple as your PrE 8 Projects just not Opening in PrE 9. There is often forward compatibility, but not always. It is usually best to finish Projects in the version, in which they were started.
Good luck,
Hunt
