Would like to add two devices since obtaining HDMI IV: a wireless keyboard

Secondly, I would like to have headphones to have capability to listen tv without disburbing bed partner. I see apple wireless keyboard requires blue tooth usb dongle which costs as much as keyboard, looking at a Kensington wireless keyboard which uses that other technology. Excuse my ignorance.
Do I need to buy both blue tooth and beamed to headphone as my mac doessn't have internal bluetooth. I use Belkin Wireless currently b not n. I found a site with great reviews for 802.11n Mac USB Wireless Adapter, which is n . But pricey. That may be ok as i don't want to go backwards. my systems is used by four rooms wired and wireless and I also want to buy a wireless adapter for an old G3 so it will work in my grandkids house across from kitchen to back two bedrooms.
Can anyone advise which keyboard: i don;t like feel of new Mac flat ones, it slows down typing, I also like white. PS I have a great $1245 Kensington Trackball. So I don't necessarily need combo unit except for the grandkids g3. Iknow this is a big order. But i spent all day learning terms and getting not much done online. Thanks in advance. New HDMI and switcher trying to network an old G3

I am asking about my G5 desktop 1.8.
You asked the right question but in the wrong forum. This is the GEE-FOUR area. That's is why no one is answering other than me, who realized you would benefit from moving your post and offered help to relocate it. I provided the link to the G5 forums previously. I'm sure that, if you post there, you will get help from people who use and manage G5 computers on a regular basis.
From your profile, I see that most of your other posts are in the proper G5 forum, I remain confused about why you insist on getting this question answered in the GEE-FOUR forums, and why polite help offered made you angry.
These are user-to-user forums, not staffed by Apple employees, and everyone volunteers their time without hope of remuneration. That's why the forums are organized by model; people with common equipment types can share ideas and help with common problems. Your computer does not match the equipment and experience base of the forum in whcih you posted.
Misplaced posts are common here due to some confusing labeling of forum areas. However, someone getting mad when politely told they are better served by reposting in the area matching their computer model is NOT common.

  • I would like to add my Deskjet F4480 printer to my home wireless network. How can this done?

    I have a Linksys wireless router that is the hub of my home wireless network.  I have been successful in adding a HP OfficeJet 6500 All-in-one Printer an old HP DeskJet 890C that I purchased in 1997 with a computer running Windows 95.  The HP 890C has been my tireless workhorse throughout my two kids K-12 school as well as printing reams of paper during my MBA...and guess what: it still works.  However, my daughter has just returned home from college and she has a HP DeskJet F4480 printer/scanner that she would like to add it to the home network.  I have been researching the problem, but haven't been successful in finding out if this printer is compatible to add to a wireless network.  Or simply, will a 802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter suffice?  I am also adding a new Windows 7 laptop in the network, that will need to print to this F4480.  I patiently await the forum's response.

    My mistake, it seems that price was a deciding factor when I purchased the F4480 in lieu of a more expensive wireless ready printer-scanner.  I will eventually come-up with a solution as I did with the 890C where I have a wireless print server connected directly to the printer serial connection.  It seems that backward compatible is still evident, but I am having some problems coming up with the long-lasting HP49 and HP23 tri-color ink packs. 
    Here is the rub; I don't replace technology because it is out-dated. I upgrade and or repair everything myself. I found warranties not worth the paper their written on and in most cases, the technical support was lacking.  My Win95 desktop went thru several major components until I found that it was becoming harder to find software to run with it.  I finally replaced it in 2007.  Now it seems that there has been a paradigm shift toward utilities that are very hungry for memory, and even if I didn't want to, I am forced to come over to the dark side with a device that has a minimum of 8GB of RAM. 

  • I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
    I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
    It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple.

  • Have a 3350 and would like to add it to my network. Do I need to make IOS changes?

    In my home network I have a number of netgear gigabit unmanaged switches.  My Firewall/Router acts as DHCP and DNS.
    I would like to add a Cisco 3550 to segment the network and put all of my Tivo IPTV equipment on for fastest throughput. Not Vlan, just a physical where all the Tivo traffic from the DVR to all of the streaming devices will be on this switch and will not need to traverse the other network switches
    As a test I plugged the 3550 into the network and then threw a workstation into the switch as well.  I wasn't sure if the switch would do auto x over but it did and it appeard to work.  I was able to get to the internet from the PC connected to the switch.  When I tried to access my NAS from the computer it did not work.
    I'm wondeing if I have to make any configuration changes to the switch in order to do what I'd like?  Since everythig I use is unmanaged I don't have a lot of experienece with managed devices and it's been years and years since I've done any IOS (is it even still called that?) configuration.
    I'm sure there are firmware updates for this switch it's been in a box for many years.  Can I obtain firmware for this switch without any sort of subscription?  If so, can you point me in the right direction.
    Also, how do I get into this switch once it's on my network?  Is there a web interface?  SSH? or do I have to use the console port?  It doesn't show up on my network as an IP address like some of my other gear does.
    Would this work plug and play?
    Thanks,
    Roveer

    I don't think iTunes can do that.  Your best source for finding out how is to search on Facebook. It will probably involve some sort of formatting for audio files you upload.
    I presume when you say "my music" you really mean it is your music -- you singing and playing the guitar or something.  Web sites are getting very wary of posting of copyright media.

    The 4G/iOS 6 does not have an Activation Lock. That started with iOS 7.
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • I would like to add a solid state drive to my 27" iMac i7 (Jul 2010). Can this be done?

    Good day all
    I would like to add a solid state drive to my imac 27" which currently has 1TB drive.  I know that you can by the imac with a ssd and an hdd but can a dealer install a ssd after the fact?

    I did there are no videos for installing a HD in a late model iMac on OWC's website that I could find. Once again, can you provide the URL on OWC's website that shows instructions on how to install?
    Also it will NOT be the same process because SSD's are 2.5" devices and the internal HD's in a iMac are 3.5" devices. Therefore either an adapter or some type of bracket must be used. Apple does NOT include the bracket on non-SSD equiped iMacs so it's up to the shop or user to source one.

  • I recently purchased a new laptop and have some music on it that I would like to add to my iphone. And vice versa so I can sync them.  What is the best way?

    I recently purchased a new laptop and have some music on it that I would like to add to my iphone. And vice versa so I can sync them.  What is the best way?

    iDevices are not backup devices.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer, then sync the device to the computer.
    Attempts to sync the device to the new computer will remove all content from the device and replace it with content from the new computer/library.

  • Would like to add Georgian language keyboard to iphone

    Hi Guys! I would like to add Georgian language keyboard to my iphone. Please help

    I would like to add Georgian language keyboard to my iphone.
    It's not possible for users to add keyboards to any iOS device yet. All you can do is copy/paste characters from an app like Unicode Map.

  • I have a 27" IMac.  I want to add additional monitors to it.  There is a vga slot for the first monitor.  I would like to add a second monitor but there is not another via slot.  Is there an adapter I can get for via to usb?

    I have a 27" IMac.  I want to add additional monitors to it.  There is a vga slot for the first monitor.  I would like to add a second monitor but there is not another vga slot.  Is there an adapter I can get for vga to usb?

    Here's the problem I am trying to research for you...
    There does exist a way to add a second monitor via USB:
    USB 2.0 to HDMI Audio Video 1080P Adapter for Windows and Macbook
    It's the only device I know of that can do that.  The problem is that it wants a HDMI connection.  So that means a HDMI-to-VGA adapter or converter needs to be found (not VGA-to-HDMI, those are easier to find).
    Interesting article realted to this:
    Hdmi to vga adapter
    Maybe somthing like this converter will work. 

  • I would like to add illustrator

    Hi,
    I would like to add illustrator in my pack.
    I already paid for a one year pack for photoshop so I do not want to pay another time for another pack.
    I just want to add illustrator and pay the extra.
    Thanks a lot,
    Mikael

    "profitable" is not the right word for this since that depends on how much you earn from your use of the purchase.  If you mean getting the full subscription might be more economical then that is more likely the case when you get to having three applications.  In your case you have Photoshop, which you could have gotten as part of the Photography plan which is half the price of getting Photoshop alone.  That along with the Illustrator subscription as a single application plan would still be more economical than going with the full subscription.

  • I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in order of the times they were taken, is there a trick?

    I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in the order of the times they were taken, any ideas on how to do this?

    Just import them normally and sort the project by date. They will fall into place. If you tried this and it isn;t happening then make sure the data and times on the two cameras are identical and make sure you are sorting by date and time and nothing else.

  • I would like to add a new Canon camera profile to the RAW interface

    Hi,  I would like to add a new Canon camera profile to the RAW interface.
    I have recently installed the new camera profile 'Studio Portrait' which i download from here:
    http://www.canon.co.jp/imaging/picturestyle/file/studio-portrait.html
    When I open up a RAW files in Camera RAW, go to 'Camera Calibration', click on the drop down list called
    'Camera Profile'  I only see  'Adobe Standard, Faithful etc etc'.
    My questions are, can i add the same camera profile i put in my camera, into a folder with in photoshop?
    Or is photoshop reading the raw file and only seeing the default camera profiles?
    If I could see the new camera profile listed it would help with work flow.
    Best
    JL-B
    Please help, ive not had a good time waiting on the phone and trying to explain this to a live chat, hours have been wasted. Once i know the answer I can get back to the commission.

    Are you following this
    Apply a camera profile
    To apply a camera profile, select it from the Camera Profile pop-up menu in the Camera Calibration tab of the Camera Raw dialog box. The Adobe Standard profile for a camera is named Adobe Standard. Camera Matching profiles include the prefix Camera in the profile name. The Camera Profile pop-up menu displays only profiles for your camera.
    If the only profile in the Camera Profilemenu is Embedded, it means that you have selected a TIFF or JPEG image. Adobe Standard and Camera Matching profiles work only with raw images.
    Note:  If you have selected a raw file and Adobe Standardand Camera Matching profiles do not appear in the Camera Profilepop-up menu, download the latest Camera Raw update. 

  • I would like to add a password to the saved passwords list.

    I would like to add a password to Firefox's saved passwords but I can find no way to manually do this. The site does allow password saving, but Firefox does not prompt me to "Remember, Never Remember or Not Now" when I go to log in. The site is not listed on the "remembered passwords - exceptions" list. I do not know whether I have clicked "Never Remember" on a previous visit. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

    Do you get that prompt on other sites if you try to store a password?
    Did you check that the website isn't using autocomplete=off ?
