2 Macs on Linksys WRT54G, only 1 gets access at a time

I have an iBook and a Macbook, both connected wireless via airport to my Linksys WRT54G router/access point.
But only 1 Mac at a time can connect wirelessly to the Linksys access point.
Is this caused by interference?
DHCP is set to on, on Linksys with a maximum of 5 computers allowed.
Strange thing is that at my work we have a similar setup with multiple macs wirelessly connected to a linksys access point and all macs can connect simulateneously. So it must be possible
What can I do?

Yes, they are both using Airport and both set up as Using DHCP.
When the second Mac is turned on, while the first one was already successfull using airport, the second Mac will shortly flicker the airport reception to full reception, but shortly after that it will show no reception at all.

Lion upgrades. Will it be available on disk? 4Gig will eat into my data, and do I have to download three times for my three macs? Can you only get server if you have snow leopard server already or can snow leopard be upgraded to server at the same price?

What about cloned backup drives? Can those drives be moved to another machine? Filemaker 1 in 1984 through Filemaker Pro 8.5 allowed you to run the software off an external drive. With Filemaker 9 they moved to a file scheme that required calling in and uninstalling from one cpu and installing to a new cpu. That would have been fine if Filemaker would answer their phones. It was a horrible experience, something Mac users would not tolerate back in the eighties.
With the Apple Store, you could avoid calling in but their system has to be online for you to make your transition. Because Apple sells hardware, they should continue to build some costs into the hardware and continue ease of use. Microsoft can't do that. That is why I do not use Microsoft products except Office.
Steve,
If your three macs are similar, installing to an external firewire drive may or may not still work as a boot device. It has been nice to be able to boot from a backup drive instead of just recover files from a backup.

How to hold several photos in the "order print" function of iPhoto? I only get one at a time.

I cannot get more than one photo to appear in the "order prints" section of iPhoto at a time. How do I move several photos over to order prints?

What is your iPhoto verstion? Assuming you are having the latest version on your new mac, it should work like this:
Select all photos at once in the event or album.
With the photos selected, use the command "File > Order Prints" from the main menu bar.
What happens, when you try that?

Post Lion: How to get access to old Time Machine backups?

Hi,
I did a clean install of Lion. Before doing this, I cloned my Snow Leopard Macintosh HD onto another partition. After installing, I ran Time Machine using the same HDD for my previous SL install. Time machine must have recognised I am running the same hardware laptop, and renamed the folder under Backups.backupdb. It created new backups, but left my SL backups alone. When I enter time machine, I can view all my backups from the Lion install, but the rest are all greyed out.
If I bootup into my old SL partition and access Time Machine, do I risk corrupting the Lion backups? If yes, is there another way to access these backups from Time Machine on SL? I've tried moving the folders under Backups.backupdb but they are protected.
The reason I want to do this is I want to run both OSs for a while, until all my apps are Lion compatible.
Many Thanks,
Prashant.

I did a clean install, which is why I have this issue.
That's correct.
When you erased the drive, it got a new UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier), so even if it has the same name, it's treated as a different drive, and the "old" one is no longer connected.
You can still view the old backups. See #E3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
EDIT: Sorry, I misread your post. You have two volumes being backed-up, both connected. Use the same procedure to look at the volume you want.
One caution; if you have the Lion drive being backed-up by Snow Leopard, and use any of the apps that use Autosave and Versions, the backups will fail because of the hidden /.DocumentRevisions-V101 folder on the Lion volume (and the /.MobileBackups folder). Either exclude those folders or your whole Lion volume from Time Machine on Snow Leopard.
Similarly, if you use any of those apps on Lion to edit any files on the Snow Leopard volume, it will create a /.DocumentRevisions-V101 folder on the Snow Leopard drive, too.

Only getting context menus- can't select an item?

I spilled some tea on my Macbook Pro key board- cleaned it up and dried it out. Now whenever I try to select an item (mac mail, numbers, finder) only get a context menu. Can't select an item or type. Mac mail can only look at one of my mail boxes can select and open an email but can't reply because never reach body of email because of menu opening for that item.
Sorry, if not clear enough with descriptions- any help would be great.
Thank you!

It sounds as if you've encountered hardware damage due to your liquid spill. The only thing that you can do at this point is to take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the extent of the damage and give you an estimate for repair.
Good luck,
Clinton

Trying to download icloud control panel - only getting so far. Got message: The installer encountered errors before iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at ltr time, pls run again.

First time on here... so not sure if doing correctly.
I'm tryng to download icloud control panel to my PC (have Windows 7 - so should be ok). I only get so far - 2 times I've tried it. Keep getting message:
The installer encountered errors before iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 could be configured.
Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
huh?

As I mentioned before you need to start the iTunes installation, then do NOT allow it to complete. In other words go all the way to the point that the installer extract the installation files, then STOP right there.
Now look for the temp folder and the files I mentioned in my initial posting. If you don't find the temp folder it may be because you have "Do not show hidden files and folder" selected under "View Tab" in the "Folder Options". You may need to unselec it. If you don't know about hidden files and folders in Windows XP take a look here: http://txpress.blogspot.com/2007/05/show-hidden-filesfolders-in-windows.html
Another possibility is that you may have a different path for your temp folders. To find out where you temp folders are located please do the following:
- Right click on "my computer"
- Select the "Advanced" tab
- Click on "Environment Variables"
Then look for the path for both variables "TEMP" and "TMP" take note of the path and check them out.
Or you may just go to a DOS Prompt and type the following commands:
1 - %temp% and hit enter
2 - %tmp% and hit enter
to both of these commands you will get a reply such as:
'c:\temp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or bath files.
So by looking at the reply you can see that my temp folder is c:\temp
The above is the temp folder on my machine which I've customized to my own use. Your machine may be different.
I suggest you check for the iTunes temp folder inside both your temp folders locations "TEMP" and "TMP" as they may be in different locations.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you allow the iTunes installation to complete you will NOT SEE the iTunes temp folder and files because it will be deleted as soon as iTunes processes the installation.
Hope it helps.

I noticed that any other code in my while loop only gets called at the 1st time through the loop and when a event is executed.

HI there!
I have a while loop, in which i am reading from/writing to a compact rio. Furthermore, i added a event structure, its the 1st time i'm using it so i'm a bit lost at times.
I have the event structure set up for all my button i want to trigger an event. However, i have some other code which i would also like to be executed, evebn though no event has been executed.
I noticed that the other stuff in the loop only gets executed the 1st time through the loop and when an event is triggered.
My question therefore is, how do i get the other stuff to execute as well?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Regards,

Put the other code in the timeout event case. Wire some positive value to the timeout hourglass input. That code will execute everytime a timeout occurs. For instance, if you wire 100 into the timeout, the code in that case will execute every 100 mSec.

My iTunes is up to date on my mac OSX 10.4.11 - how do I get access to iCloud?

For iCloud, you need a version of iTunes 10, and 10.4.11 only supports up to 9.2.1. 10.4 offers no iCloud access, while 10.5 and 10.6 have limited access. Only 10.7 and 10.8 are integrated with iCloud.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Lion will only let you add documents to iCloud through iCloud.com, iCloud.com requires the iOS apps before you can use it.
Mountain Lion will let you add documents to iCloud from the iWork apps themselves, you don't then need the iOS apps before they can be opened on another Mac.

I have lost my harddrive which contains a vast amount of music I've been collecting for many years. I just purchased a new Mac, but I've reached my activation limit. And I only have access to 2 of the 5 activated computers. My old music can still be played on my iPod, but I need to set up another account on my new Mac. What will happen to my music if I were to deactivate all of activated computers?

Authorization determines to which computers material requiring authorization can be transferrred using the itunes interface. If you want to re-download past purchases then a computer need to be authorized.
As for transferring music from the iPod, your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is designed with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
