Airport is functioning, but what does connection timeout mean

When I try to join my network, I get a "connection timeout" message. HELP!

Do you have a picture of it?
Seriously this is the iPhoto forum - try the network forum - http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1222 if you have Leopard

when i go to wifi and find my wifi ill put in my password when iam done i press enter then it loads and after it loads it says connection timeout

A 'time-out' implies your internet application, connection, settings, wires, router, or wireless card may be there, gets power, but does not necessarily have the correct configuration to fully work. So at some point, the system determines there is no network connetion and stops looking.
In the System Preferences> Network is where many settings & choices hide; also some settings are available via the AirPort icon on the menu bar, where you could choose to try & join 'another network' that may even be your own, successfully in some cases, even if the other methods fail.
If your computer is running OS X 10.5 and has not been updated with the Leopard 10.5.8 Combo download, it should be; this may help fix the system, and also after installing the Combo, use Disk Utility to repair disk permissions on the startup volume Mac hard drive. You could also use the Help viewer in OS X to look up answers to Wi-Fi setup questions, parts of the help system work offline, some parts look for internet.
Troubleshooting the wi-fi network can be a time consuming task; sometimes just resetting the base station or router, or the cable internet box, or other ISP hardware can help. Knowing what works in your system configuration, locations, and other settings (and passwords, etc) helps to get past issues.
However, the Combo update for Leopard is recommended. It stands a fair chance at helping fix issues.
Good luck & happy computing!

This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

Actually, another person on the "more like this" had the right answer. It meant I had a notification for an invite that I needed to respond to.
Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

What does connecting iPad mini to my Mac Mini through Bluetooth do

what does connecting iPad mini to my Mac Mini through Bluetooth do

There is nothing else you can do as regards the Mac. Bluetooth between a Mac and an iOS device works only for tethering so you can share the iOS device's cell connection. Otherwise, Bluetooth in an iPad is for connecting to peripherals such as headsets, in-car systems, and keyboards.

What does the ~ symbol mean next to an event? I have never seen this before but today when I edited a few events this appeared next to the event.

Greetings,
Hm. I've never seen that in iCal. In some other Applications the tilde "~" indicates a restore point or a before / after for a file. My guess is there is a broken cache file in iCal.
Try:
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Region. Region should be set to the country of your choice. Do not have it set to "Custom" as this can have unexpected results in the iCal window.
If that doesn't resolve the issue:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
--- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard. You will see "Library" in the menu.
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists:
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

Finally MS-8348A's new firmare is here, but what does it do?

The 150D MS-8348A's new firmare is online, but what does it do? Are we suppose to try it and see by ourselves? Does it allows new cd's capacity, better compatibility?
Snoopo

I just installed an MS-8345A (took a while to figure out whether I had an A or a B model -- this should be easier to tell).
It won't read a CD-R made on another computer running NERO 5. All other CDROMs can read this CD.
I saw a very new firmware update (1.50) and downloaded it. Absolutely bad install instructions. It says to copy the files into the C:\ drive and then run the install program in "real dos" what ever that is. I move the files to the C:\ drive, booted to a DOS 6.22 system. and WOW DOS can't read an NTFS file on the C:\ drive. So, I copied files to the diskette, booted to DOS 6.22 and the install went OK, as near as I could tell. The last message said that my firmware version 140D was updated to version 150D.
Didn't fix a thing. Still can't read the CD-R. The note on the Support Driver Download page said that it was to "improve medium compatibility". Didn't
I also had a real hard time getting this CD/RW drive to boot from the Windows XP Home setup CDROM. Took many tires before it would boot.
So far I'm not impressed.
Anyone else tried this? Anyone else having trouble reading CF-Rs?

IMac with Lion. I have an icon on the dock for Fluenz software but it has a white circle around it with a white slash through it (like the international "no" sign). What does the circle mean?

I have an iMac using Lion. I have an icon on the dock for Fluenz software but it has a white circle around it with a white slash through it (like the international "no" sign). What does the circle mean? The Fluenz software seems to work ok.

Checkout the software vendor's website for updates:

Your only other option is to boot from an OS X 10.6 system.
Hope the link helps.

It means you should take it to the Genius Bar. You will no doubt need to buy an out of warranty replacement.

What does this message mean Charging is not supported with this device?

What does this message mean Charging is not supported with this device?

You've gotten 2 good answers already, but there's a key assumption in both that you got the message when connecting the iPhone to some other device. If this is the case you can get an adapter in the Apple online store that will allow charging from older devices.
If, however, this message appears when you are not connected to anything the problem is dirt or moisture in the dock connector at the bottom of the phone. Clean it with a dry toothbrush or air blast.

What does this message mean? : "The file name "DSC_0088.jpg" is offline or missing." ?

What does this message mean? : "The file name "DSC_0088.jpg" is offline or missing." I am in the process of importing photos from iPhoto (don't really know what I'm doing....) and when I look at one of the imported photos that message pops up. I know what "DSC_0088.jpg" is. I don't know what it means that the file is "missing".

CASpyr,
Thank you so much for your reply. I have a couple of bigger issues that I am dealing with: too many photos on my laptop: 40,000! (Of course I have to throw away many of them, but that is time consuming). I have a MacBook Pro and have primarily used IPhoto. I have recently purchased 2 external drives and have transferred my photos to those, but I need a basic education about how photos are stored, copied, etc. I have recently been told that iPhoto only shows and deals with jpegs, not RAW. About 1/3 of my photos are RAW, so I purchased Lightroom, so I could do more with those RAW photos. I have been told by my local Mac store that I need to delete most of my photos from iPhoto, because it's causing problems. I am reluctant to do so until I am sure that all of the keywords, descriptions and editing I have done to these photos is not lost when deleted from iPhoto. I just watched a tutorial about importing to Lightroom and got out of it that I needed to copy photos from iPhoto to a file on my desktop and then copy to Lightroom. I did that, it seemed to work. Then (because of my storage/memory issues) I deleted the photos (just a few as an experiment) from that desktop file. I'm guessing that is why Lightroom doesn't recognize the the photos. It seems that (learned from another tutorial) that one uses "Add" , Lightroom is only connecting to the source of the photo, not actually copying it to the program. Sounds like I need to use the "Move" feature instead. My ultimate goal is to store the photos on the 2 external drives and eliminate most of them from my lapop. So my basic questions have to do with what data (metadata??) is copied from iPhoto to an external drive (RAW???) and what isn't copied. Basic understanding issues,obviously…. I hope this isn't too much to ask. If you can recommend a book or resource that can explain those basic issues to me I'd appreciate it. I just got back from a trip and I can't download my new photos until I manage the rest!
Thanks,
Nancy

What does 'Activation: failed' mean?

After the reset that occurs when I attempted updating 4.4.1 to 4.4.2, I saw 'Activation: failed' in the general>about settings screen.
Now after a little while, it is no longer there. But, what does it mean, generally?

It is not properly connected to the network.
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
If on wifi try ethernet
Make sure router has port 123 open (refer to manual if unsure)
