I bought a MacBook Air and wish to communicate with old iMac G5 2003-5 (sorry can't remember the year). The screen on the iMac is blank and will not come on but the hard drive still works. Can anyone tell me the cable I need to with the iMac & how to do it. I have music and photos on the iMac I cannot access.
Also, do I need to special CD/DVD external drive/burner to import music CD's into iTunes? I have tried and it keeps coming up with formatting problems.
Many thanks. Jax

I have looked for what you said and come up with these 2 cables. Are these the correct ones I need?

Since downloading the new software 07 onto my iPad, I have endless trouble with my Skype talks always cutting out after every few minutes or seconds of talking. Can anyone tell me if there is a solution to this? Many thanks
You are adventurous. Nothing wrong with your Mac. If I were you I would leave terminal and Console alone until you get familiar with your Mac. Even then unless you absolutely know what you are doing in Terminal you could end up with an expensive door stop. Play around with iPhoto, Safari Address Book, iCal. Read some Mac books from your local bookstore. Hang out at the forums. in short just have fun.

Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting. I went to Mexico and when I returned the texting does not work on my ipad. The support at Apple wanted to charge me to get info.
THanksCan't address the problem directly, cause even though my iPad4 is Cell+Wi-Fi, I've never put a SIM in it and never had the need to text, SMS or iMessage, from it. When away from the office or home wireless network, I tether it off the iPhone. Skype, both text and video, work just fine thru the Wi-Fi link, though.
HOWEVER, when I was hashing out the contract details to get the iPhone 5 about 14 months ago at Telcel, the representative distinctly mentioned that both Visual Voicemail as well as iMessages would be included in the package and they would be mandatory cause "I was getting a (subsidized) Apple iPhone" on a 24 month leash. Then when the gizmo came out of its box for SIM installation and activation, she went thru the motions of making sure both were working properly. So I assume the carrier has some say in the matter. -
Can Anyone Tell Me About My Fe0/0 & 0/1 Ports please ?
Hi ...
I have been trying to set up my router for virgin broadband using Fe0/0 for the internet and 0/1 for the internal lan but the trouble i have is even though i have set up the ports and enabled them etc .. i still cant get the lan to work on the internet.
One thing i have noticed is that Fe0/0 will work on dhcp and will get the ip adress from the modem my Fe0/1 will not do dhcp even though it has been set to dhcp.
when you look at the interfaces it shows fe0/0 is dhcp but fe0/1 is nvram ??
can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong here as i have set ip route etc and gateway is set but why no dhcp on fe 0/1 ?
many thanks in advanceOk ... now i have figured it out .. maybe ??
Both ports would operate dhcp if they was to receive an ip address from something providing one ...
which i suppose is the reason why i got an ip from my cable modem ... so all is fine there ...
The reason i am not getting the same from the fe0/1 port is because there is no dhcp server on my lan so it will not get one from anywhere ? im thinking ... so if im wrong please correct me
Thus having to supply a static ip for the fe0/1 meaning any other device would also have to be static on that same lan ??
And the problem of ip interface brief showing 0/0 on dhcp and 0/1 being nvram is due to the config not being saved and the router not being restarted for the settings to change ?
All well and good ... but i need to make my lan on fe0/1 work with my internet on fe0/0 so does that mean i have to set up a Vlan between the two ports ?
Thanks in advance -
I'm trying to get onto facetime and I keep getting a message saying the server encountered an error processing registration please try again later. Can anybody tell me what is going on?
I have read over and actioned ALL recommendations many times over, and still get the Facetime error..! I have reset Host file, looked for iphone certificates, set time/date to auto, checked for suspect DNS entries, cleared caches etc etc. It's become a very fustrating problem. Worked fine for a long time but then suddenly stopped.
I wish I could find the solution... -
Hi all,
I have a Macbook Pro 15'' Retina and I'm thinking of getting a Yamaksai Catleap Monitor, please can someone tell me the best way to connect this? Do I need a thunderbolt to DVI connector, or Thunderbolt to VGA? Im assuning the former would be superior! Please can someone advise?
Thanks very much in advance,
Cheers,
GuyHello,
Some UK links... You can use any of the following to get the video signal out of the iMac and into a standard format:
Mini DVI - DVI
Mini DVI - VGA
Mini DVI - Composite/S-Video.
The DVI will give you best quality, but VGA will be simpler. The DVI to HDMI connector is:
Buy a DVI to HDMI connector (link). Long HDMI cables are pretty expensive though.
Although HDMI can handle sound as neither DVI, MiniDVI nor VGA do you'll need to connect the sound separately. Simply connect the sound out on the iMac to the input on the TV using a cable like this:
3.5mm to RCA.
If you use the miniDVI to VGA connector here's a long VGA cable (link).
All Macs since about 1999 have had +DVD Player+ installed. I'm not at my Mac right now to check Front Row in Leopard but Front Row in Tiger certainly played DVDs (but +DVD Player+ is a better, more flexible DVD Player).
cheers

MacBook Air keeps trying to connect to old server
My new MacBook Air, just like its predecessor iBook, keeps trying to connect to an old server which I am not using (having moved to a different continent!). I have tried deleting it using Finder - Go - Conneact to Server, but it persists. It flashes up the error messaage: "There was a problem connecting to the server XXX. The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again." I have done all this, but it makes no difference. Can you help please? I use a Time Capsule as my router, with an AirPort Express booster in another room, and my main iMac desktop does not have this problem. The old network was in use in the UK, and I will want to connect to it there when I visit from time to time.
Many thanks
JohnCheck the Login Items in the Users & Groups section of system Preferences for a reference to this old server. If it is there highlight it and click the Minus ( - ) button.

sometimes when it types if the auto fill address pops up its black and if i backspace the letters stay and if i type something the new letters overlap the old ones. I can open a new tab or get to my home website but i cant type anything without it messing up and i cant open any menus or dropdowns in the actual browser without it going black and reverting to the windows theme i have set.
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

aFTER DOWNLOADING A SONG FROM A Target/Crest PROMOTION, THE SONG DOES NOT SHOW UP IN MY LIBRARY. Oops. Anyway, my menu for web downloads and purchases, etc., is not showing. Just the media library. How do I get back to the page that shows my web downloads?

I have registered for my new Apple ID for ver 2weeks and I still haven't received the email with the verification code What can I do?
To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Help, help, help!! My 'search' field in iTunes 11 seems to have completely disappeared and I don't know how to get it back. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
You don't see it here?
This is iTunes 11 on 10.6.8 - I tried to make it disappear but couldn't do so, so if you've lost it I can't give you an easy answer. Have you tried rebooting your Mac? If that doesn't help you could try reinstalling iTunes:

My IPad is stuck on Verifying. I'm on the Settings page and there is a box that says Account not Verified. At the bottom is something in red asking me if I want Delete Account? It's been stuck for an hour. I tried turning my IPad off, but when I go back on and into Settings it's still there. Does anyone know how to get out of this? Thank you.
To do a reboot, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I'm wondering if there is an app available for the iPad that allows me to type in a word, copy the word layer, change the top layer colour, view the grid and increase the grid divisions, erase every other layer then print it. I know you can do this on photoshop for the PC but wondered if this was available on the iPad version, if not does anyone know an app that will allow me to do this? Thanks
