  • Do you get a proper native UK keyboard with the MacBook Air?

    Hi. I was wondering if you got a proper UK keyboard like this one attached on the macbook air?

    I cannot see your illustrations above ... but:
    Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources.  Click the "+" in the lower left.  There you can choose "British" and/or "British P.C.".

  • I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly. the wireless light has a fast green blinking light. how can I fix the router?

    I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I am unable to connect to the internet wirelessly.  The wireless light is blinking green very quickly and I connect and disconnect from the network constantly.  How do I get the router to work properly

    Hello James,
    The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
    Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks

  • Does wireless Key board Model # A1016 work with the Macbook air?

    I have an old Apple wirless key board Model # A1016, I am trying to pair it with my Macbook air. Doesn't seem to be working, does anyone know if it is even compatible or not?

    My understanding is that the BWI uses an 802.11b wireless standard that is perfectly compatible with the built-in reception that the MBA has.
    Is there anything that would lead you to doubt the compatibility?

  • Can I use my epson sx425w stylus wireless printer with my macbook air?? if so how do I link it as Im struggling to get it connected wirelessly

    Ive recently bought a macbook air and have an epson sx425w wireless printer which has been excellent
    when used with my previous laptop and im reluctant to purchase another when its in perfect
    working order, I just cant seem to link it to my macbook for some reason, I cant find my instruction
    manual for the printer but do remember it was fairly straight forward linking it to my lap top
    before?!
    hoping someones had similiar problem and has a resoloution !! help please

    I checked the Epson (U.S.)  website, and found nothing at all about this model printer - no support, drivers, etc.
    I also checked Apple's websites, and found they do offer support for the SX420W.
    Maybe this will solve it:

  • Will any wireless keyboard and mouse work with the Macbook Air?

    I just need to know if my existing keyboard/mouse will work or if I need to purchase new.

    Any BlueTooth keyboard or mouse should work. I have a nifty Kensington BT keyboard that switches from my desktop to MBA to iPad with the flick of a single key and I have a BT Magic Mouse.

  • I have to use a wireless mouse with my MacBook Pro because the touchpad does not consistently work.  Now, the wireless mouse is not consistently staying connected.  Any ideas??

    Why doesn't my Apple wireless remote remain connected?  It is frequently giving me a "lost connection" signal and since the touch pad works intermittently it has become frustrating.

  • AppleWorks last ran under 10.6; I have 10.8 on the MacBook Air.  Is it possible to load a copy of 10.6 to use as a separate startup disk so that I can have access to AppleWorks on the MacBook Air?

    Like many, I have been a Mac user since the original little guy, and have tons of documents created under Claris Works and AppleWorks.  I can still run AppleWorks under 10.6 on my wife's iMac (Intel chips), but not the 10.8 that came with the MacBook Air.  On older machines, I could load and select different versions of the OS as different startup disks.  Would this be possible on the MacBook Air to be able to retain operational access to the AppleWorks software and all those files I have accumulated?

  • Connecting a cable modem, a linksys wireless router and my MacBook?????

    So... My cable modem and MacBook work great when connected with an ethernet cable. How the heck do I hook up and configure my Linksys wireless router with my macbook and the cable modem? This seems like a simple setup, but when I hook it up it doesn't connect me to the internet.
    Any help would be awesome!!!!

    Darren,
    The best advice I can give is to suggest you post in the right discussion group. This is the group for Apple Pages. You want the MacBook group.

  • How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
    If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

    I connect my macbook pro to an Epson wireless projector. The macbook can see the projector wirelessly and the image on the macbook is displayed on the projector. However on system ref., the arrangement tab does not show and thus cannot have multiple view.
    I am trying to project Pro Presenter on the Epson projector such that I have the detail screen on the macbook and only the screen I want people to see on the projector display. This has not been possible because the arrangement tab on the Display section of the System Preference is not showing. If i tried to search for the arangement, it comes back with the message that there is not other source detected, hence the arrangement tab is not showing.
    I have also tried to connect the Epson directly to the Macbook but it still the same result, so its not because it is a wireless connection. Can someone advise me jhow to go around this problem. I have used windows before and it is very easy to extend ptojection on windows, but this system seems to be frustrating to me.
    Thanks,

    I have a WRT54G wireless router.
    The issue I have is that the "wireless network connection" icon light on my laptop stays on continuously and is constantly sending and receiving data even when nothing is open...no Outlook, no browser, no programs.
    I have another another desktop PC that is connected thru the same wireless router and the icon light only lights when I open a browser or transmit and receive data thru an action of mine.
    With my laptop, as soon as I boot it up, the icon light comes on and stays on with all this data sending and receiving.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    You can try to see what connections are active when your laptop is connected. If you're using Windows, bring up command prompt, type "netsat" and see what connections are active to what target(s). Check Task Manager and see what applications or processes are active and using the cpu. Maybe try installing a third-party firewall (ZoneAlarm) that monitors inbound and outbound connections to determine if any rogue applications are running.

  • I havea WRT350N Wireless Router and the DynDNS Service is...

    I havea WRT350N Wireless Router and the DynDNS Service is not
    resolving the correct Internet IP Address, is resolving to a local IP and
    I see it on the DDNS Page on my Router Setup Screen.  I'm
    trying to connect to my DVR from a Remote Site with my DynDNS
    Client in my computer but I could not do it.  Port 80 (my DVR WAN
    Port) is Open and redirected to my DVR local IP, my DynDNS Account
    is working fine but theres no way that I could access my DVR or even
    my Router if I activate the Remote Management Capabilities.

    The best source to ask is HughesNet. According to their web site the HNS7000S is a router. Instructions how to set up a home network can be found here.
    I cannot find instructions how to set up DDNS on the HN70000S router. The suggested setup in the KB article link above won't help you with that either. I don't know whether it is possible with HughesNet to put the router into bridge mode and set up the WRT for internet. It may not be possible at all. But you have to check with HughesNet.
