What is a WEP key and how do I find mine?

I'm trying to set up my Wi-Fi connection for my Nintendo DS, and in order to do so, I must enter my WEP key, however, I honestly have no idea what that is, or how to find it. I'm currently using a model wrt54gs v. 4

Try these steps to get the network key from the router. Open
an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 Leave username blank & in password use admin.Click on the Wireless tab. Now Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security.
Check the security mode and security key .

What is a WEP key and where do I find it?

Any dumbed down help would be greatly appreciated because I'm close to returning the base station time capsule thing. I can connect macs because I know the password, but friends with PCs can't connect, I can't connect a netbook or a blackberry because they all request this wep key. I can't find it and I don't know what it is. Sorry for being stupid, but I'm a loss. Thank you.

-Connect the ethernet form the windows PC to the Time Capsule.
-Update the Windows Computer to SP3 and then head to the Microsoft Update Support Site and then search WPA Patch or WPA 2 Patch
-Download and Install the patch
-discount the ethernet from the Time Capsule and try to rejoin the wireless network
-If still having issues then change the Time Capsule security settings
Or change the security on the Time Capsule From WPA to WEP (Uses WPA By Default)
Step to do this. On Mac
-Open finder and head to the Application folder
-Once in Applications Folder Please find the Utility Folder and open it.
-Now that we are in the Utility Folder please find a application called *Airport Utility* (Not airport admin utility)
-Please Open Airport Utility
-You should now see the time capsule on the left hand side of Airport Utility (AU)
-In The bottom left hand you will see a button that says *Manual Setup* please click on it.
-Once done reading the configuration file you should see the *Summary Page*
-Now there are some tab's please click on the *Wireless Tab*
-Now you should see lots of info don't worry we only need to change one thing and that the wireless security
-Right now it should say *WPA / WPA 2 Personal*
-PLEASE HOLD OPTION and use the MOUSE TO CLICK ON THE DROP DOWN FEILD
-Now you should see a a few security protocol Please select the *WEP (Transitional Security Network)*
-Enter a New Password this password may need to be 8 or 13 numbers / letters
-Now Click UPDATE
-Now you are using WEP
-NOTE: You may have to reselect your network using airport
-This Should Solve The Issues Let Me Know What Happen.

Time machine: I get the following message: The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data-1/Clemens's iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use - what to do? Where and how do I find that file and get rid of it?

time machine: I get the following message: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/Clemens’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use - what to do? Where and how do I find that file and get rid of it?

I'm on Mountain Lion and have version 6.1 of AirPort utility so there is no button to "Disconnect All Users"and the only other option of "removing and re-selecting the drive via Time Machine Prefs" doesn't work either. So this will work.
Launch Airport Utility and select the TC "Edit" button, then select the Disks tab. Deselect "Enable File Sharing" and click "Update". The TC will reboot then follow the same procedure and reselect "Enable File Sharing" and click "Update". After TC reboots again you'll be up and running. Not the neatest way to do it but saves having to unplug the TC which risks disk damage and the whole procedure takes less than a minute.The "Enable File Sharing" button seems to have replaced the "Disconnect All Users" button but with the slight disadvantage that it reboots the TC which takes up additional time.

What is my broswer version and how can i find a good spellchecker

1. What is my browser version ?
2. How do i find a good spellchecker for my browser version ?

You are using quite an old version, Firefox 3.6, the latest release is Firefox 3.6.15. You can get it by selecting "Check for updates" in the Help menu. Firefox 4.0 is due out next week.
Firefox has a built in spell checker, for derails on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Using+the+spell+checker

What is the luma key and how is it used in PE4?

How do I used this effect?
Thank you

Are you talking about the setting on the track matte?
The alpha setting bases transparency on the whiteness of the selected layer.
The luma setting bases transparency on the red, green and blue brightness of the selected layer.
It's easier to demonstrate that explain. I suggest you experiment, using multi-colored clip to create your track matte.

TS2529 I backed up my phone to my computer, then when I tried to restore the backed up version it hadn't backed up all of my content. What have I dont wrong and how do i find it?

I had a software problem with my Iphone 5 and so was told by someone in the apple shop that I should restore my phone to factory setting. So, i plugged into my computer and itunes, then backed up my phone to my computer. I wiped it and then clicked restore back up version. I did this the same way around 6 weeks ago when I was switching from my old Iphone 4s to my new 5, and didn't have a problem with it then. So, when I go onto my phone after it had finished restoring the backed up version I realised that the backed up version did not contain all of the data from my phone. For example, no text messages at all, no settings restored, and worst of all not a single photo. Not sure how this has happened, I cant seem to find the backed up version I did earlier today before wiping my phone. The only versions of my phone listed in the back up bit are the new crap version with all my stuff missing, or my old version from when I transferred from the 4s to the 5. I have managed to restore that version to my phone so at least I have everything I had up to 6 weeks ago. But i would really like the version from earlier today before it was wiped as I'm missing some important information and contact numbers. If anyone can help with this I would appreciate it. Thanks.

You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup that iTunes makes.

Wifi has suddenly stopped working. There is an exclamation mark which takes me to network diagnostics. This asks me for network name and password. This is different from the startup wizard which only asked for a WEP key and modem name. What to do?

My wifi has suddenly stopped working on my iMac, after working fine for almost a year. There is an exclamation mark on the wifi bars and when I click it, it takes me to a network diagnostics page. This page asks me for my username and password for the wifi, which I don't have. It is different from the WEP key and modem name, which I originally used to set up my connection. I have not experienced any problems on all my other wifi-enabled devices. Ipod touch, iPad, MacBook all work fine. What should I do?

The name is the name of the network you created on the router. The password is the WEP password. You shouldn't be using WEP at all, as it's insecure and also seems to cause connection failures. Use WPA 2 Personal. If your router doesn't support it, get a new one.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's exactly what you need. A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US
This is the only way to view a video on the TV. After connecting your MacBook Air to the TV, image on your TV should show immediately. Then, press Command and F1 keys to mirror your MacBook Air display, and open the video

Reinstall on both.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.
Restore your iPhone to reinstall iOS. Be sure to do this while connected to your computer and iTunes.

What's the implicit joins and how to configure it?

Hello guys
what's the implicit joins and how to configure it? What's the purpose of implicit and explicit joins?
Please help
Thank you

Thus, on my side, I think that :
Explicit join define the join condition between the key column from the table.
(table1.di = table2.id)
While
Implicit Join define :
* the type of join outer, inner, ...
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dw/join/start
* And the relationship (one-to-many, cardinality)
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dw/data_quality/relationships
And all this information are used to generate the statement (query).
And I don't really know why you have two type of key :
* Physical Foreign Keys
* Logical Foreign Keys

Nico

What is "other" in storage and how do I reduce it

what is "other" in storage and how do I reduce it

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
In Photos:
File ▹ Show Recently Deleted ▹ Delete All
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install the app in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
For ODS:
security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
For GP:
security execute-with-privileges /A*/GrandPerspective.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password.
The application window will open behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will eventually show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Help, please! I am suddenly being presented with CYMK colors to 2 decimal points. What did I accidentally change and how can I fix it?

This is driving me crazy. I am suddenly being presented with CYMK colors to 2 decimal points. Too much info for me. What did I accidentally change and how can I fix it? I've been through all of the preferences, views etc. I can find but no luck. Thinking this has something to with the color settings (obviously) but with all of the possible options there I could use some help. Thanks, all!

May have been a switch from RGB to CMYK.
Or you moved one of the sliders with shift key pressed.
