Dave:
I don't know what your problem is either. Have you called Apple Tech Support (wireless) and asked them to walk you through the process. When I got mine (upgrading from the old UFO base stations) they walked me through the complete setup and testing.
Mine is like yours: a base station hooked to a router by ethernet and then relays the network from one building to another to a second base station. Works fine but the set up was not as intuitive as some would have you believe.
I recommend you call Apple tech support.

Thanks for your reply John.
These Airports are both out of warranty, so it will be $$ to talk to
Apple on the phone.
Someone mentioned taking them into an Apple store and asking the
experts what is wrong. I think this will be no charge.
But one thing I didn't do is reset (push the tiny button on the back)
these Airports. I'll try that before taking down the network to get
these diagnosed by Apple experts.
Cheers,
Dave

Learned a new word today. Spudger. Sort of instinctively, i knew what it
was but Google confirmed it!
I have three or more of various shapes and lengths, and never knew what to
call them. Didn't matter, because I never had to as my wife to bring me
one...
Hahahah. Thanks.

I had to Google spudger since I've never heard the word.
It looks like a sort of electronic version of a crochet hook (which is also
useful for pulling bread-machine paddles out of the loaves they get baked
into).

I'm creating a dual-boot system with Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard.
The boot drive is the fastest of the 2 drives, although smaller (250
GB vs. 750 GB), so I want to choose carefully what I put on the boot
drive.
When installing OS X on a new drive and migrating files from another
drive, you are given the options of bringing users, applications,
data files, etc (I forget exactly what the choices are -- maybe
someone can refresh my memory) to the new drive.
What are the pros and cons of bringing each of these choices to the
boot drive? I know that it's good to have applications on a separate
drive from system files (each can take data as needed from a separate
drive, making overall performance better), for example.
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Dave

Here's an idea that just hit me. As long as you are willing to have
both drives mounted at all times, maybe you can put aliases of the
/Applications and /Users folders from one drive onto the other,
smaller drive. Possibly in this case aliases won't work and you might
have to use symbolic links (something that I admit confuses me.

Hi Barry. Thanks for your reply.
Both drives will be mounted all the time -- they are both internal to the Mini.
I don't see an advantage of using aliases. Regardless where the
applications actually reside, if the icon is in the dock, clicking
that will run the app from whatever drive it is on.
Or am I misunderstanding (again) your suggestion...?

But won't it then put its preferences in the other drive, where it
is, not where you are booted? Maybe I too don't understand. However,
an alias or symbolic link of the home folder or even the whole /Users
folder might be the way to go, even if you don't need to do that for
the /Applications folder. As I said, I've never tried it, but I also
intend eventually to make a similar dual-boot system, so let us know
how it worked out.

Keep in mind that some software, notably Mail, changed their data storage format between Snow Leopard and Lion.
If you want to be able to read and send mail from both boots, a SINGLE overall alias/symlink won't work.

Is there a solution such that Mail under both OS's can have access to the same data files?

Good point. However, has anyone ever tried running the older version
of the application on the newer OS? (I doubt that the reverse would
work). I believe that address book (or contacts) is another one that
was changed between OS's.

If I shoot a picture on my iPhone4 horizontally the Camera App or the iPhone itself embeds a color profile of "sRGB IEC61966-2.1". If I turn the iPhone4 to portrait or vertical the Camera App or iPhone4 assigns a color profile of "Camera RGB Profile". This happens on every shot I take.
I do nothing to the images but download/import them into iPhoto9. Only do I see the difference when I open any of the images from iPhoto9 into CS5. CS5 sees the different profiles and opens either RAW or Photoshop.
Called Apple. They are not aware of the issue. They do not offer a way to correct the profile embedding issue. So I have to manually change the profile in Photoshop or RAW. I wasn't charged for the call.
I placed a folder in our groups Photos Section entitled 102112 Profile Issue for anyone to see the Apple+I info on the two files. I have done no conversions or saving or "saving as" to the images in question, only opened them in CS5, then immediately closed them unsaved from iPhoto9.

I recently purchased a new Crucial M4 512GB SSD for my 2011 MacBook Pro, and the other day Crucial sent an email saying that there was a new firmware update available for the drive. I downloaded the firmware in the form of a 3.4 MB iso file. Crucial Tech Support told me to burn it to a blank DVD, insert it, press and hold the C key while re-starting the Mac, and then simply follow the instructions to update the firmware.

Turns out that simply does not work, as my Mac ignores the fact I have a CD inserted, and simply booted off my main drive. On Crucial's forum, there appears to be a lot of Mac Users having trouble updating their SSD's firmware.
Any suggestions as to what my next move is? I have sent a reply off to Crucial Tech Support.

> 9. Press and hold C when powering on to boot from the CD
> 10. Follow the steps to update FW
Turns out that simply does not work, as my Mac ignores the fact I have a CD inserted, and simply booted off my main drive. On Crucial's forum, there appears to be a lot of Mac Users having trouble updating their SSD's firmware.
Any suggestions as to what my next move is? I have sent a reply off to Crucial Tech Support.
