X1 AEBS, x2 Ax's and trying to decide wireless / wired

Hi,
My current set up is this - Satellite modem >>> AEBS >>> Cisco Aironet Bridge with Omni External antenna & 25metres ethernet wired to a Netgear router.
I will probably be able to disconnect the Netgear router from the current set up, as the building is picking up the wireless AEBS & Cisco bridge.
I have just tried setting up the AEBS and x2 Ax's to do WDS, and failed. I think the easiest solution for me is to hard wire from the AEBS to the Ax's, to then achieve wireless in 2 other buildings so I do not lose too much bandwidth from using the Ax's as bridges? (I believe this to be the case)
Can someone please point me in the right direction on how to set up the AEBS and Ax's so when the Ax is plugged into another building 50m away, it will still give wireless but be hard wired to the AEBS?
Is it possible that the AEBS would still be giving off a wireless signal?
Please help, step by step guide as the setting up of Ax's I am getting extremely confused with,
Regards, Ian

OK - update. Not quite sure what I did, but was able to get the thing connected with no security.
I plugged the AX directly into the computer AND had a wireless adapter plugged into the computer. Not sure which connection was being used to modify AX settings?? But got a good wireless connection in the end and was able to stream music.
BUT - I want to be able to add security. I'm trying to add WPA. My Buffalo Router says WPA-PSK. The AirPort Utility only lists WPA2, so I'm going through the Setup Assistant that has a WPA/WPA2 Personal option.
I went back and changed the security settings on the AX and it disappeared (no surprise). But when I change the security on the router, it fails to pick it back up.
Any suggestions on how to get WPA working for me? I don't want to leave my network open.

Based in Switzerland and trying to decide on SAP training

I am trying to choose the best SAP course to take. My objective is to empower myself in the Job market. I reside in Switzerland.
I have a Bachelor degree in computer Science, but I deviated from I.T because I started enjoying working on business projects.
Now, the international business community is becoming more difficult each passing day, so I have decided to empower myself by taking a SAP course.
My strengths are as follows.
Presentation
Marketing
Advertising
Sales
Negotiations
Social media
Business development
Communication
I do not have any interest In programming language.
I am open to work in any industry that is lucrative, I am young and willing to travel.
What course would you advise? I look forward to you guys response,

Have you considered SAP Learning Hub? For about the price of a 5 day course, you can have remote access to pretty much all of the course material for every class.
You could for instance look at a job that was being advertised. See where you have gaps. Fill them in SAP Learning Hub. And then be in position for the next one that comes along.

Delete your network and let Windows auto-configure a new one. And seriously consider actually getting rid of Norton... Even when you shut down all the "visible" features, security programs still are active in the background and influence specific operations...

Trying to troubleshoot wireless & wired connections

If this type of question has already been addressed in a forum, please point me in the right direction!
I recently bought a Bluray player that requires an Ethernet connection to get online. I would like to be able to stream movies once in a while. My ISP is Time Warner, whose gateway device is next to the TV, but I would like to switch to AT&T Uverse, which would come into my apartment in the opposite corner of the room via the phone line. I would like to use Airport Extreme for my WiFi network, so I'm going to see if AT&T will provide me w/a wired modem that I can connect to it. I'm trying to figure out if it would then be possible to get some kind of secondary router to put over by the TV that would get the WiFi signal from my Airport and facilitate the Ethernet connection for the Bluray. Is this even possible? Advisable? I know the simplest thing would be to return this player for a WiFi enabled one, but I'm trying to see if I can make it work. Thanks for any advice.

I'm trying to figure out if it would then be possible to get some kind of secondary router to put over by the TV that would get the WiFi signal from my Airport and facilitate the Ethernet connection for the Bluray.
The AirPort Express can be configured to "join a wireless network" and the Ethernet port can be enabled to provide a signal, so it should work to provide an Ethernet connection to the DVD player.
Whether the wireless "hop" will allow enough bandwidth for good video performance is open to question. In that regard, it is going to be one of those "you will not know until you try" type of things. It might be a good idea to have a "Plan B" in case the AirPort Express does not work to your satisfaction.
The better way better way to do this would be to connect an Ethernet cable from the AirPort Extreme directly to the DVD player, as this type of connection provides much higher bandwidth than a wireless connection.
It goes without saying that you always want as much bandwidth as possible if you are planning to stream high definition video material.

AEBS 802.11n, TC and APXn with 7.3.1 is very flaky indeed - cant connect -

HI Guys I think many of you on these forums have posted because you are having joyless experiences with the new APX 802.11n, the AEBSn and the TC not able to be managed via the AIRPORT UTILITY.app v5.3.2 with firmware 7.3.1 in the former devices. After a search there's many of these posts with people with the same issues.
I have these devices in my place so I have had lost of experience configuring these over the years:
1 x 802.11n AEBS, 1 x TC, 1 xUFO white AEBS, 2 x APXg's and lastly the problematic 1 x APX802.11n (one subnet and 2 x networks 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz)
I am at my wits ends trying to get the new APXn regularly responding to the AP utility.app (error reading configuration).
I have tried most of the remedies on these forums but they do not consistently solve the problems of the APX not responding to the AP utility.None of these have consistently worked:
• trying to factory reset it using the POWER ON+RESET and waiting for the amber flashes then green - butt this procedure NEVER WORKS to factory reset!
• using the reset button in any form (it doesn't do anything)
• connection through ethernet (sometimes works ).
• takes long to power up (than the older 802.11g)
• rest APXn back to factory defaults through the AP utility then ...
• downloaded 7.3 firmware - worse and wont work
• lastly I found that RESET+POWER ON then wait for 20 secs as as it powers up DEPRESS the RESET again and then it becomes readable.
Additionally, I have been unsuccessful in getting PORT FORWARDINg to work at all for the AEBS 802.11n with and without the TC in the mix. I had this working for several years with the White UFO AEBS ... It beats me.
I think the firmware is very very flaky and i have no resolutions for these recent problems.
Hope for a fix soon.
I will be polling these forums for any clues.

Hi Guys
REgarding the APXn's (802.11N Airport express) inability to consistently be seen by the Airport Utility.
this just worked finally for me now and have tested this 7 times and all seems ok now..
Simply: when APXN in list, save configs, reset to factordeafuts, downgrade to 7.3, upgrade to 7.3 and reinstate .configs.
UPdate: a probable work instruction that seems to consistently work.
Here is the work instruction i used.
(1) turn off all other WIFI base stations where you are that you can. (important I believe)
(2) turn off airport in your mac
(3) connect troublesome APXN to mac via ETHERNET cable. Set DHCP on your mac or some address in IPV4
(4) power off and on the APXn (yes again )
(5) whilst it is powering up, use a pen of toothpick to RESET the APXn again (i think this causes something to move around inside the magic-ware)
(6) the light will flash amber (no network to connect to)
(7) launch /utilities/airport utility.app
(8) the one and only APXn appears in the list
(8.5) optional: (cross fingers and legs :))
(9) when profile comes back, use FILE/SAVE a COPY AS to the ~/desktop to save the complete profiles and settings of what you have in there currently.
(10) select the one and only APXn and perform a airport utility.app/base station/ RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS - and wait for 30 secs and then it will restart
(11) when complete, quit and relaunch the /utilities/airport utility.app
(12) the APXN will be as when you bought it (pristine and no stuff in it from you)
(13) connect your mac back to internet via ethernet if possible. (avoid the wireless just to be sure but at this stage you could reinstate all your exiting wireless infrastructure)
(14) select the one and only APXn AGAIN and perform a airport utility/base station/ UPLOAD FIRMWARE and select version 7.3 (back level) . THe firmware will load into APXn 0%-100% guage and then it will restart.
(15) when complete, quit and relaunch the /utilities/airport utility.app and it will warn that one of the basestations (the only on the list - the APXN) has later FIRMWARE available for it. [This is 7.3.1].
(16) reply OK to UPLOAD NEW 7.3.1 firmware. (yes yes I realise ths sounds silly but it works ok ) 7.3.1 Firmware will up load into the APXN as above and restart will take place.. so say 120 seconds.
(17) quit and relaunch the /utilities/airport utility.app. THE APXN will appear as before as now with 7.3.1.
(18) just to make sure, (we're not quite finished), remove the ETHERNET cable. If not already done form previous optional step, ENABLE the AIRPORT (WIFI) on your mac.
(19) power OFF then power ON the APXn.. wait for the usual 70 secs..
(20) Again, to be sure, QUIT and RESTART the /utilities/airport utility.app, the APX as factory default with amber icon will appear in the list [along wit the rest of your apple airport base stations).
(21) Select it in the list fo MANUAL and the configuration will be read quickly.
(22) do this (steps 18-21) 3 or 4 times to see that it is consistent. (I this it 7 before posting this).
last step...
• select the APXN (default settings) and IMPORT the save configuration file (~/desktop/nnn.baseconfig) (all it) from the ~/desktop. Ignore any errors (untick them), add a password for the base station and UPDATE!
• wait for the usual 70 secs.
• without quitting the /utilities/airport utility.app, the UPDATED APXN with your configuration will be in the list.
NOw try and selectit for manual and it should respond in time without timing out.
Test by powering off and removing from wall socket and moving around too to make sure you can SEE it in the /utilities/airport utility.app and select it for MANUAL CONFIGURATION.
After many days of frustration on weekend and over night, this appears to have worked ok for me.
(now to work out the AEBSn port forwarding issue - it wont work).

Couldn't find root user. Sleeping and trying again.

Last week I installed an MSO 2004 update on my G5 iMac running 10.4.11.
Then I attempted to repair permissions. The repair permissions process
halted at about half of the progress bar. I let it cook for about two
hours without success, then tried to force quit Disk Utility. I
couldn't force quit it, so I very reluctantly turned off the Mac;
something I've rarely ever done. I waited five minutes and then turned
the Mac back on. The startup sequence progressed to the point where the
system displays the gray apple on the gray background, and the circular
progress indicator or gear begins turning. I let it turn for one hour
and then powered off the iMac, then powered it back up with the same
results.
I powered it off again and then commenced a Safe Boot. Same results as
before.
I powered it off again and then started it in Single User Mode. No
problem. I ran /sbin/fsck -fy. No problem.
I typed "reboot" and it rebooted. This time I start it in Verbose mode.
After the preliminary startup code, the system began repeating the same
message lines:
dsFindDirNodes returned -14071, count = 0 count = 2147483646
Couldn't find root user. Sleeping and trying again.
A Google search produced very few results. I don't have a backup
because I inherited this iMac from my 75 year old semi retired father
who wanted a 20-inch Intel iMac instead. I just goof around with the G5
iMac from time to time, and am considering giving it to my little niece and
nephews. It worked great for about a month. I have customized my
user account and the accounts for the little ones, so I really don't
want to wipe the hard drive and reinstall Tiger again from scratch.
I booted from the suspect internal hard drive into single user mode.
I ran /sbin/fsck -fy on the internal hard drive.
All tests passed.
I ran fsck_hfs on the internal hard drive.
It returned a message that stated that I needed
to add additional information.
I ran fsck_hfs with several switches enabled, but
it continued to return this message.
I performed the procedures in Apple's article 107210
"Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server: How to Replace the NetInfo
Database (Restoring from defaults).
This did not solve the problem.
I booted this computer from my external Firewire hard drive that I use
to create nightly backups on my G4 iMac using SuperDuper!.
I ran Disk Utility Repair Disk Permissions on the
internal hard drive.
There were no permissions errors.
I ran Disk Utility Repair Disk.
All tests passed.
I ran the TechTool Pro Suites --> Advanced Tests on
the internal hard drive.
All tests passed except for "Startup File" which it
listed as " <Not Present>".
The description of this test is:
"This test checks the Startup file. The parameters
within this file contain the information used by
the computer ROM to determine what program will
boot the computer as well as other system-specific
aspects."
I ran the TechTool Pro Performance --> Maintenance
routine on the internal hard drive.
It completed the maintenance successfully.
I ran DiskWarrior on the internal hard drive.
It reported no directory errors, but I replaced it
anyway.
While booted from the external Firewire hard drive, I viewed what
appears to be the proper compliment of folders on the internal hard
drive. Of course, I didn't examine and verify every subfolder in the
hierarchy, however, examining the Applications, Library, System, and
Users folders two deep seemed to indicate that everything was there.
I booted this computer from my Tiger installation disk. I selected
Utilities --> Reset Password... (I think.). It listed only the
Administrator account (root) on the internal hard drive. It did not
list the other three accounts that I created on this hard drive, even
all three respective folders are present in the Users folder. However,
it did list all four accounts on the still attached external Firewire
hard drive.
By every measure, this drive and its directory are sound. I am
concerned that TechTool Pro reported that the Startup File is Not
Present. Beyond the meaning that the words suggest, I'm not sure what
this really means. I checked the Micromat site and found the following:
The Startup File has been defined but not yet
implemented by Apple.
What does the message signify:
dsFindDirNodes returned -14071, count = 0 count = 2147483646
Couldn't find root user. Sleeping and trying again.
Can I effect a simple repair?
Thank you.

I think besides a reinstall, only DiskWarrior from Alsoft...

stands a chance of fixing it.

My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine. We always manually manage our music (no auto sync). iTunes is up to date on the PCs. My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines. He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4. I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s. How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?

New to Apple - Need help. Here is the breakdown. I just got my wife a iPhone 4s and I'm trying to decide how to set it up. Should she get her own Apple ID or use mine? This for some reason is very confusing to me.

Here is the breakdown. I just bought my wife a new iPhone 4s and I'm trying to decide how to set it up for her. Should she have her own Apple ID or use mine? If she uses my Apple ID, will that cause issues with iMessage - say when I'm chatting with someone else and vice a versa. Will our messages show up on each others devices? How will a FaceTime call work? Will the video call come across both our devices (ipad also)?
Just some information that might be of note:
I have the new iPhone 4s, iPad2 and one iTunes account - the iTunes account is my Apple ID which I use also for the iCloud (I think...it's getting murky
What am I trying to achieve is having the ability for me (iphone, ipad) and my wife (iphone) to be able to share and sync just music, apps, movies, etc... I have Google Calender and I have not made up my mind yet if we will share a contacts list (I have large business list). Also this might be of note, I most likely will be using iTunes on my LG LCD TV (appleTV) at some point in the near future.
So, basically I'm confused, which is not unusual for me. If I'm thinking to much inside the box, please let me know and feel free to offer up any suggestions. Even if the suggestion is I'm not asking the right questions. Of course if that is your suggestion, then please tell me the question. And an answer would be nice to.
Thanks.

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

I paid for and tried to download the song "Cryin" by Aerosmith but it won't let me download the song each time I go to the store and click on available downloads, it looks like it's downloading and I get an error message that the file is corrupt

I paid for and tried to download a song from itunes but the song won't dowload! When I got to store and click on available downloads it looks like it's downloading but I keep getting a message that the file is corrupt.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)
