Anyone recommend a good router

Hi,
I have an iBook G4 14". I have been using 2 Airport Express units. One as the main one and the other as a repeater or whatever that would be called to extend the signal throughout the house.
They worked great. But my ISP changed hands and at the exact same time.....the routers stopped working. Neither one. I have swapped them out in case one had failed. Still....they don't work. The ISP is useless for advice on routers.
I have tried all the usual stuff such as restarting the modem etc.... Still no joy! The "airport strength icon" in the menu bar shows good.
I am very non-techy. I would never be able to swap a card in my iBook. At least I don't think I would
Two questions:
1. What is a good "non-Apple" router that would work w/ my iBook?
2. Does anyone here know if that router would also work for the new iMacs (wanna get one soon). I can head to that forum if no one knows.
Thanks,
jabberwock

Hi jabberwock!
If your 2 AirPort Express units still show power, it's unlikely that they went bad.
More than likely your ISP changed servers and you just need to reset them to factory default, and then reconfigure for your ISP.
Unplug the AirPort Express. Use the end of a straightened paper clip to hold the reset button while you plug in the AirPort Express. Do that at an electrical receptacle that is convenient to reach.
Open the utility "AirPort Setup Assistant" and choose to "Setup a new "AirPort Base Station." If you have both Express units plugged in nearby while performing this setup, that would be best, so that you can see their lights and configure one as the base and the other as the remote. After setup is completed, relocate the units to their former electrical receptacles under the desk, behind the cabinet, or where ever:)

Can anyone recommend a wireless router

can anyone recommend a wireless router....I just bought a Ipod Touch and have not been able to use all of the features. I currently have Windows XP Pro.....the one main computer in the house, a Xbox 360 is hooked up to a Linksys router at the moment. I'm new at this and don't know the specifications I would need for the Ipod Touch and which router works the best with it.

The iPod Touch only uses b/g wireless standards, so you can use any wireless-g router. Since Wireless-N is the next standard, you can usually get a Wireless-G at an economical price. G is an older standard and quite sturdy. Linksys would be a good choice for you since you are already using one from that company. Just swap it out with your existing router. Special note: if you do go wireless, be sure to shut off the wireless on your iPod Touch when not using it; drains the battery.

Can anyone recommend a good 2TB external drive for my iMac 10.9 ?

can anyone recommend a good 2TB external drive for my iMac 10.9 ?

The Griffin Survivor is a military-grade case that I use. It's $40 and I purchased it at Best Buy. It has a rubber piece that covers the charging port, but can be easily removed for charging while still in the case. The only downside of the case is because of the added girth, it makes the iPod unusable with iHomes or other docks unless you take it out of the case.

Can anyone recommend a good instruction book for intermediate Mac users?

I have been using Mac for 3 years now so am not a total beginner, but still need help in many areas of OS X use. These forums are brilliant and thanks to the willing help from more expert members I have learnt a lot ( thank you), however there are times when just having a book open in front of you is the easiest way to get to grips with something. Can anyone recommend a good user manual for people like me who don't need a real beginners guide but also don't want a mind numbing, in depth, advanced text. I already have Maria Langers Visual Quickstart Guide which is useful but is exactly what it says, a quick start, and David Pogues Missing Manual which I find a little frustrating as he seems to fall short of explaining exactly how to do something after he says it can be done!
I guess what I am really after is a clearly written book that is good for beginners and more advanced users alike, with screen shots to show you what you should be doing.
Grateful for any suggestions.
macbook white 2ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 512mb ram and 60gig hard drive,

Hi again,
Many thanks for the feedback and the star!
For troubleshooting, Dr Smoke's Troubleshooting Mac OS X eBook is invaluable. Again, I have the Panther edition. I haven't, yet, felt the need for the Tiger edition with so many of the tips available free via his FAQs.
The only drawback, of course, is that when one is in a fix and possibly unable to boot up, the e-book isn't accessible unless one has a copy on another Mac.
Have fun,
Adrian

Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript for flash?

Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript
for flash?
Intermediate level
I have been using flash for about 2 years more as a hobby
than anything else, some websites etc but now I realise I am going
to need to learn more actionscripting to do what I want, I have
come to terms with the simple stuff like goto – basic
variables – load mov – enough to programme up website
navigation.
I ideally want to learn more about the dynamic side of flash,
mostly for designing user interfaces and websites etc
I’m after a book that doesn’t get too heavy too
fast yet I’m a little past the more basic functions
Any thoughts?
Cheers

Any standard 3.5mm stereo splitter will do:
Belkin Y Adapter; Mini Stereo Plug, Headphone Splitter - Amazon.com
Make sure it is 1 male > 2 female, as above.

Does anyone recommend a good graphic utility to prepare files for the web?

Does anyone recommend a good graphic utility to prepare files for the web?

GraphicConverter as noted by Don, or Photoshop Elements are the favourites. Both will allow comprehensive editing, and save for web facilities including reducing the .jpg quality to shrink file size without making the picture smaller.
There is a free application calld Gimp (open source) but I don't know how good it is or whether it's updated for Lion.

Can anyone recommend a good app for designing and printing labels?

I have just switched from pc to mac and have pages on my macbook but it does not have a label function (please apple sort this out its the only major flaw!) so can anyone recommend a good app that will do what a pc does? I do not really want to pay £85+ for office for mac just for the word program

One way to find an app at the App Store is to use keywords.
Type print labels in the search field top right corner of the App Store window then press Enter or Return on your keyboard.
Click one of the apps listed. Always check Requirements under Information and definitely read customer reviews before purchasing and make sure there is a support link available in case you need to contact the app developer for questions.
This forum is mainly for troubleshooting the App Store.
For feedback for software designed for printing labels, try posting your topic in the Mac OS X community here.

Can anyone recommend a good audio analyzer beside Waves PAZ & SpectraFoo

Can anyone recommend a good audio analyzer beside Waves PAZ & SpectraFoo.
Inspector is not what search. It should be exacting.
Thanks martin

Hello Martin. I use Elemental Audio's Inspector XL and it works great for me, especially the K-System metering and FFT analyzer. I wish you could resize the FFT window. Now that it is a roger nichols digital product it requires ilok. The other analyzers that I considered before choosing inspector xl were paz (blah), spetrafoo (too much too soon, but maybe later), audioease periscope (not universal binary yet, no k-system), and bias master perfection suite's reveal (also not universal binary yet and works only inside peak and no k-system.) All of this info is from the north american summer so it is probably out of date. My favorite analyzer is Steinberg's Wavelab, it is very configurable and it's easy to setup for monitoring your stereo mix thru another computer, but it is windows only.
It sounds like you really need one of these...

One of these pro tools plugins allows you to select and modify fft just like other software allows selection and editing of waveforms. Awesome. EXPENSIVE!

Can anyone recommend a good messenger bag for a macbook air 13?

Can anyone recommend a good messenger bag for a macbook air 13"?

I agree with Shldr,
I have a MBA 11" and a MBA 13", and use that one for my 13" Air, and the smaller version for my 11".
I have spent at least $600 chasing down the perfect bag(s). There isn't one, AFAIK. The Incase bags are my favorite.
I do prefer the older version of that bag though (a single velcro flap for the double compartment side). The new version holds a tad less. (I gave my new version to my MIL), and use the older one I have.

Can anyone recommend a good UPK library structure for Oracle financials 11.5.10.2 (using UPK 11.1)?

Hi, Can anyone recommend a good UPK library structure for Oracle financials 11.5.10.2 (using UPK 11.1) please?

If you are using the application server that comes with Oracle Applications - you probably need to use the JDeveloper version that comes with that one too. (The OAF forum will have more info on this).
If you are using JDeveloper 10.1.3 then you can use a stand alone OC4J 10.1.3 to deploy your applications - and save yourself the hassle of messing up with your apps server.
