Advice on Airport for beginner - what should I get?

Hi, I have a PowerBook G4 using Mac OS X Ver 10.4.7. Its fitted with Airport Card 9.52. Working at home using BT broadband in U.K. Can anyone advise on the best wireless hardward to buy? All help very much welcomed.
Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

Unfortnately, none of the AirPort routers nor any other router that uses Ethernet will work with this modem as it only provides a USB connection. Although the AirPort base stations have a USB port, it's only for connecting a USB printer to (except the new AirPort Extreme which will allow both printers and external hard drives.)
You may want to consider asking BT for another modem which is provisioned with an Ethernet connector...or use their Home Hub solution for wireless connectivity.

    SHOULD I KEEP THIS OR BUY ANOTHER ONE WITH 64 bit  I WANT TO USE ADOBE cs3, and will upgrade to CS4  soon.  i use primarily dreawweaver and i want to learn graphics and want to do tons of multitasking

    Seems like you have very much overkill in certain areas and not enough in others. If you will be running Dreamweaver, you don't need a lot of RAM! If, on the other hand you will be using Photoshop, you need a lot of RAM. I've been using Photoshop since 1992 and the more RAM the better, up to about 6 GIGs, then it really doesn' make much of a difference. As for the Graphics cards, not sure why you need 2?? I use Photoshop professionally and have never needed 2. As for the RAM, the graphics cards have their own RAM built in and it should not rob from you system. I use a Quad processor HP running Vista 64 bit. Photoshop flys, as do my other programs. However, I will tell you, if you change to 64 bit, be prepared to upgrade most all of your software, and on top of that, a lot of software is not capitable with 64 bit at this time. I played Hell getting my system set up running 64 bit. If you are not going to be using Photoshop, which is RAM hungry, you do not need more that 4 gigs of RAM.

  • I need internet explorer for mac, what should I do?

    I need internet explorer for mac, what should I do?

    There is no Internet Explorer for the Mac, only for Windows.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

    For my case, should I go to topics not listed and describes my issue?
    It's not really critical, but here's what I would do:
    1) Click "Contact iTunes Store Support"
    2) Click "Purchases, Billing and Redemption"
    3) Click "How to recover missing purchased items"
    Select the contact method appropriate for your needs, should more than one be offered.
    It can take up to 72 hours, and sometimes longer, before the iTunes Store responds.
    Regards.

  • I do not own an adobe product and want a one-time payment licence for students and teachers, what should I get?

    I do not own an adobe product and want a one-time payment licence for students and teachers, what should I get? There are so many licenses to choose from and at least 3 lightroom licenses for students.

    If all you are looking for is Lightroom, I would suggest going to your campus computer store. The computer store where I worked had Lightroom in stock. If your store doesn't have it in stock they can order it for you. There is really only one Lightroom 5 license that comes with the standalone version, student or otherwise. The program is identical either way. Licensing for the creative cloud is handled through the web and the payment method, But you aren't concerned about that.

    The necessary links/menus you need to navigate to after clicking the Report a Problem link can be a little tricky to find. See

    You should be good to go with that.

    My iPhone was working correctly with FaceTime but now it's not , say (waiting for activiation) what should I do ??  Kindly if you can help!!

    Thanks for your answer...
    My iPhone was connected to a wifi internet when I tried to activate it and when I tried activation by iTunes I was using my laptop with windows 7 which was connected to internet by cable.
    I updated my iPhone to IOS 7 when I was in Egypt and I had no problems with updating it and I can't remember if finding my iPhone option was on or off before updating to IOS 7 and as i understood from searching internet that to use iCloud Finder on web from computer to find my iPhone it should be set up already on my iPhone and I didn't set up iCloud on my iPhone before and my Apple ID wasn't verified for iCloud till today, I verfied it by logging in iCloud from a friend iPad.
    I was considering already the option that my iPhone has been hacked but if this happened so how I would unlock my iPhone and activate it to back to work? who would help me with that? I'm so tired of being without my phone for almost 4 days and I started to consider not having any Apple product anymore... I think that this way to secure the consumer has a lot of conflicts...

  • Corsair: 3 DDRPro types, What should I get?

    My 2x256K RAM is about 20MB-200MB short when running certain games. So Im going to get 2x512s. Corsair pros seem to be a good choice as they have very low latency.  From what I hear, low latency is how AMD users make up for not having the bandwith Intel chips have. (I know I have a 333 FSB, next year Im going to a 3200+ CPU):
    However, this is confusing me. Corsair 3200PRO-series sticks seem to have three types. XL,LL, and C2.  I orignally wanted the XL bc it had the lowest latency(2-2-2-5) vs. LL (2-3-2-6), C2(2.5-3-3-6). Why all the choices?
    Here what I can tell: The XL only comes in twins. The LL and C2 come seperately. The C2 can appearantly work on "intel platforms". Then it get real confusing, because if you look at the individual spec pages, only the LL mentions it can be used on "nForce 2 Ultra". Cant they all given that they all list at DDR400?
    http://www.corsairmicro.com/
    What should I get?  I read that DDR only makes a 3-5% difference. So I would forgo the twins, BUT they only sell the XL (2-2-2-5) latency in a twin pack. So there may be more of a gain here in the XL series.
    Will I notice the difference in latency of seperately buying 2 LL(2-3-2-6) sticks over the XL(2-2-2-5) twins, or is this just a paper gain that no one really notices?
    If Im doing overkill and can accomplish a gig DDR 400 at a lesser cost, please let me know. The "bling" lights on the Pro sticks is not that much of a purchase factor. I just want speed.
    Sorry for the long first post. I couldnt find anything upon several searches.
    FWIW: Thanks to Wonkaboy, Raven, the guy with the robot in his sig, and everyone else who contributes. I now have  the fastest and most stable computer I have ever used or owned. I had no problems bc of the compilations in the stickys. Very good work on those.

    Wonkaboy conviced me that with the costs of prosticks (and a AMD3200+) I would be halfway to another system:
    I went to get the same model # as min current twins (2700LL 2-2-2-5), but corsair doent make 512K 2700LL . So I had to settle for 512K 2700C2(2-3-3-6).
    If I read the above link right Im only looking at a 1-2% difference anyway
    The auto detect was configured 3-3-3-7   . So I went in and changed it to 2-3-3-6.  I cant get it near 2-2-2-5(but I didnt toy with voltage or any other FSB parameters).  I may try 2-3-2-6 but Im giving up after that. I tried other-lower settings but it didnt work. Again, Im to scared to start toying with the voltage, I dont know enough and dont want to fry the system.
    Any comments are appreciated as far as setting the ram speed. Id like to get 2-2-2-5, but it looks like I may settle for 2-3-3-6.
    My computer runs much better now that it has enough ram to not bother with page file swaping.
    Thanks Wonkaboy and Raven!

  • My Original Apple ID which I'm using since I bought my IPhone is not working for activation, what should I do?

    I have unlocked iPhone 4S which I bought in Jan 2011 from store in Saudi Arabia... Since I bought my iPhone and it is linked to my Apple ID... Lately I moved from my Country Egypt to Slovakia so I didn't take my Egyptian Vodafone SIM Card with me as I will buy a Slovakian one...
    Days ago before buying a new SIM Card, iTunes found new update IOS 7.0.4 and after installing the update my iPhone restarted and started to take me through activation... The activation needed a SIM Card so I bought Telefonica O2 SIM Card and I tried to continue the activation... At the step of writing my Apple ID and my Passowrd, I wrote them right but an error window appeard saying that incorrect Apple ID and my Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPhone...
    I checked my Apple ID on iTunes and iCloud to make sure that my password and my account are ok and it was working... I thought it might be a problem with the SIM Card so I went to O2 customer service and they said that the problem is not with the SIM Card as the SIM Card is working so they can not do anything for me... On the window of activation logging in there is link "activation help" and by clicking it after typing my Apple ID and password, a window appears saying that my iPhone could not be activated because activation server cannot be reached and asking me to try activating on iTunes or trying again later and if this problem persists I should contact Apple support...
    I tried activating on iTunes and the same message appeared that my Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPhone and I tried activating many times for two days on my iPhone and iTunes and nothing is working... I also tried to call Apple service number in Slovakia (0800004640) and they said for iPhone I should contact my carrier network which I contacted already and they didn't help at all as I mentioned before... In the end of my tries I went to iCloud finder to find my iPhone on my account and I didnt find it there because I never set up iCloud on my iPhone before...
    I don't know really what to do as I'm the first and the only owner and my Apple ID is the only linked to this iPhone, even on the window of activation logging in it is written there that this iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID (b*****@yahoo.com) which is true ... This iPhone is unlocked one and it was working in Saudi Arabia and Egypt with various SIM Cards... In the end thanks for reading and I hope to find a solution for this problem...

    Thanks for your answer...

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
