I was previously having trouble with my aim and mail, and could not change the settings on my airport extreme for some reason. Well i figured out the problems with mail and ichat, the ports they used are blocked.
I have no idea how to figure out why they are blocked or how to unblock them without access to my aiport. Anyone have any suggestions?
I have a USB External HD attached to my AEBS. I am able to see this drive within my own network, but I would like to be able to access this drive from the internet. Unfortunately I still use Windows computers, but they are the last to go everything else I have is Apple. My Drive is formatted in Fat32 and I read a post on here from March or May of this year that said I just had to open my computer and type the static IP address into the address bar, but I cannot get this to work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an airport network that shares my internet and HDD wirelessly with a mini and MBP. The MBP works fine until the mini joins the network. As soon as the mini is on, the MBP can no longer access the internet or HDD but remains connected to the network.
I have tried reseting and restarting in various ways. Have even reserved MAC address for both. Am using 'share a single IP address'.
I can not find documentation ANYWHERE that explains - specifically - how to configure my Airport Extreme to access the attached USB hard drive from the internet. Has anyone successfully done this? I would like to type in an address and have it go directly to the drive. I think I've done everything in the airport utility that I'm supposed to do, and I've set up a dynamic dns account and opened up port 80.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently found out that the Ethernet ports on the Airport Express Units are 100 MBits only. With a Time Capsule I am able to get 15-18 MB / sec via the WiFi, but the Airport Express, even though it has the same Air-capabilities, is limited to around 11 MB / sec through its Ethernet port. I hope they will get upgraded with Gigabit soon, I will replace all in my household. Is there any info on when it might happen?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am considering replacing my Linksys WRTY160N routed with a dual-band router and Airport Extreme in on the top of my list. If I connect an external harddrive to the USB port (or a NAS disk til ethernet) - will I be able to use it for time machine (or as a NAS disk in general)? Does the Airport Extreme allow the user to control all port, open and close what is needed and not? Is there a better choice for access point than this Airport Extreme?

Tried to fix it by opening Info of Mac Hard Drive . Sharing and Permission options at the bottom of the pane display this:
system - write only (drop box)
admin - read only
everyone - no access
They are not accessible (are dimmed), padlock is dimmed too, so I cant do any changes.
Tried to Option Click on the padlock but it blinks for a moment but goes locked again. Never before had a problem like this.
I have admin access to my Mac with no password set -I just click on OK instead.
Ive tried to do something via System>Accounts - my account, but when I click on the locked padlock it blinks for a moment but goes locked again, so I cant do anything here. (My account is the only one - I have no guest or other accounts set.)
The same story with the padlock when tried pane Internet&Wireless.
Overall, I believe I did something wrong when tried to set my computer inaccessible for strangers when I am on public WiFi hotspot
I am not tech savvy and at this point I dont know what else to do

Today I was trying out Freeway and Nvu, and somehow one of the System folders and another folder (and all of the folders within those two major folders) cannot be modified. When I try to drag another file/folder into the restricted folders, a message tells me, "The item .... could not be moved because "Folder" cannot be modified."
How do I undo this restriction? There are two choices in the message window, one says "Authenticate," and the other says "OK." If I click on "Authenticate," then I can type in my password and complete the action.
I cannot find any settings to undo this problem!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two accounts in my mac, I decided to transfer them all into one user, therefore I deleted one of the user. I have ticked not to delete the home folder and this cause a file named "XXXXX (deleted)" exists. I tried to drag the "XXXX (deleted)" into my home folder. But I cannot open anything. I knew I could solve it by setting in "Get Info". But it takes me millions of years, because there are lot's of files.
Could I rebuild the account before to move those folders?
I put Windows Media Player in my trash to throw away. When I attempt to empty my trash can, I am informed that all the files in the software are locked and therefore I can't throw away the software. When I open the info box on the software, it says it isn't locked. And when I tried to drag the software out of the trash and onto my desktop, it copied itself so then I got another version of the same software.
I'm sure there is something simple I am doing wrong, but I don't know what it is. If anyone knows what to do
Every time that i start my computer up and go to an application that requires a password (eg adium, mail, safari) i get a pop up that asks me to unlock my keychain. it's done this for a very long time but has only just started to cause a problem. sometimes when i open an application at start up the pop up for the keychain password doesn't appear and causes the application to freeze and requires a restart to fix the problem.
is there any way i can stop it from needing to ask me?

I've just installed a copy of XP sp2 on my macbook pro using the Bootcamp setup, and as far as I can tell it all went well. My problem is that now I have a popup saying that I have 30 days to unlock the product. The copy I used is one that came with the pc that I bought several years ago, and the key is the one on my pc. Because I purchased the xp copy with my previous pc I don't think I'm doing anything inapropriate, is there a way to unlock this software for my mac, or do I have to purchase a new copy?

I have 2 macs (G4 1250) on a network with a Buffalo NAS Linkstation Pro Duo which most of the time works perfectly. However when one of the macs crashes some files on the NAS are locked and can not be written to. The get info permissions says either ' you can read only' or sometimes 'you have custom access' and offers no way of changing it.
I would be quite happy to turn off permissions as there are no other computers and no internet connection to this network. Otherwise if someone could tell me how to unlock the files I would be very grateful.

Basically trying to write a paper on Euro vs. Dollar and have a freely available paper but it is locked so I'm unable to print it off. Find it much easier to print off and make annotations and highlight then simply read off the screen so was wondering if anyone had any ideas how I can print the file?
I found an app but it was shareware and $25 and as I'm a student that isn't really an option for a single citation. Would be very grateful if anyone has any answers.
I just noticed there is a locked exe on my desktop that has the filename "___" Its last modified date says to be Friday, June 20, 1969. Anyone know how it could have gotten there or if it's okay to delete.

After installing a new account on the internal harddisc after software problems, my MAC OS 10 went into lock. Not only the internal harddisc, but also my three external harddiscs. My MAc says I don't have the priviliges to unlock, which is not the case of course. If I go to 'info' I can unlock the lock icon on my user account, but from then on the MAC does not respond to any commands or changes I would like to make.
