Apple Mac and Sky Hub

Hello, I've got a very old iMac it's probably around 15 years old and runs OS X 10.4.11
Just bought a Sky Wireless Hub but it seems my old imac isn't wireless enabled. Can someone please assist me and tell me if it's wireless enabled, if not how can I make it? Even if I need to buy an attachment of some sort and explain in clear English as I'm not very technical! Appreciate any help, thanks.

I take it we're talking about the coloured/transparent model;
This is a PPC G3, so I'll get the post moved to the correct forum in a moment.
These models didn't come with wifi as standard, indeed the earliest ones didn't even have a slot for a card.
I would normally suggest an Airport Express base station connected to the ethernet port to use as an access point, but the AEs currently available have to be set up with a version of Airport Utility which won't run on your model
Other choices are third party wi-fi bridges or USB wi-fi dongles (but finding a compatible one may be difficult)
There should be several threads on the subject (G3 wireless) so do a forum search, too.

I have a UK apple mac and im trying to use mirroring so when searching google, ebay, writting document it shows up on my tv but i dont have the option of 'Mirroring' when i click on the rectangular box in lower right hand corner. Anyone have advice on how I can do this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.
Do you meet these requirements.

We have a newish apple mac and this morning all our files have vanished - all photo's, vidoes, music etc. How can we get it back? Thanks

First of all, look in the garbage. It's easy to move a folder there without knowing it.
Second, do a Spotlight Search (Cmd-Space), and search for a file you know should be there. If you find the file, there's a good chance that the other files you're looking for are there, too.
If you're in kind of a crisis mode, coming up with pat advice probably isn't a good policy - but I suggest investing in a backup drive in case anything goes wrong. A program like Time Machine can be a life saver.

I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and cannot do this. What can be done to restore my original functionality?

I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and this no longer works. How could I restore the previous functionality? Is somethong wrong?

Hi Eustace.
Thanks for replying to my problem. After posting I noted the "More Like This" box on the right of the screen. The top topic was "Restore old dual screen functionality" and turned out to be the the same question with a surprising answer - in the "Mission Control" dialogue, NOT the "Displays" dialogue. There are five tick boxes at the top of the Mission Control screen and the last of them is "Displays have separate spaces" and this box was ticked through the loading of the Mavericks op. system (presumably). Unticking this box, as advised, restored the 'extended' mode and all is now well.

Hi bertalan,
The Lightroom windows serial key will not work with the Mac as the these serial keys are platform specific.
Thanks

The Lightroom serial number is cross-platform. It works on both Windows and Mac.
Something else is going on here.

Apple TV and Sky By Broadband

Is it possible to download a film using Sky By Broadband to my laptop and view it on my TV using Apple TV?

Is it possible to download a film using Sky By Broadband to my laptop and view it on my TV using Apple TV?
The answer is no.
Sky by Broadband uses Windows Media Player DRM which has never been supported on the Mac even before Microsoft discontinued Windows Media Player. It also uses the Kontiki peer-to-peer system for actually transferring (downloading) the files. This also as far as I am aware has never been ported to the Mac.
Even if you use a real PC or Boot Camp to successfully get the files on to a computer, because of the DRM you cannot copy, save, convert or do anything to them.
Unfortunately, the morons at the BBC (iPlayer), and Channel 4 (4oD) have chosen to use the exact same ghastly software.
Currently the BBC iPlayer is Windows only (because it is using Windows Media Player DRM and Kontiki peer-to-peer) but the BBC Trust have told the BBC they must provide a Mac solution (and Linux). While no timescale has been set (the BBC are not going to rush in to it until they can find an equally ghastly DRM solution for Mac), my guess would be one of the three following possibilities
1. Microsoft Silverlight. A version (playback only) of this complete with new equally ghastly DRM has been released by Microsoft for Mac (as a token gesture).
2. Adobe Media Player is an expansion of Flash with its own DRM and like Flash should be available for both Mac and Windows.
3. Real Player. Apparently even on a Mac Real do support using their own DRM, however so few people use Real Player (on a Mac) I have never some across an example of this.
Unfortunately because of the DRM all three of the above are infested with, none of them can be used with QuickTime, iTunes, iPod, iPhone, or AppleTV.
When are these idiots going to realise like the far more intelligent Steve Jobs that
i. DRM only inconveniences legal customers and not pirates
ii. DRM (including that in Windows Media Player, HD-DVD, and Blu-Ray), can be broken, indeed already has been broken, and always will be broken.
Note: I have installed and looked at Sky by Broadband, but it was such an unpleasant experience, with such a poor selection of programmes that I have not actually bothered to download a single programme using it.

HT1386 I have had to have a new hard drive fitted to my Apple Mac and now I can't sync my music with my iPhone, it thinks it's a new computer. Please help, What do I do?

I keep this as a copy and paste. It's the same process for Mac as it is for a PC. Read it over and see what you think. Post back if you have questions.
The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your Mac and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your PC. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

Apple (MAC) and Cisco Flex Connection deployments

Good Morning,
I have some questions regarding flex connect deployments with environments that are purely Apple (MAC).   The area is about 10,000 sq feet top floor office space in NYC.
We havea bout 5 access points (unfortunatley vetically mounted) covering this space. The issue wea re having sort of seems like a roaming issue. We lost an AP that was servicing 80% of the cleints which caused all sorts of troubles with clients. They would not connect tot he other APs and would throw "timeout" errors.
Is there some log I could check to see what might have been going on?
Is there any recommended deployment guide for Apple (mainly mac book pros etc) environments?
Any real world suggestions?

Can I install Linux for Windows on my Apple Mac and afterwards use old windows programs as PageMaker on my new Mac. If yes where can I find Linus windows for Mac

Can I install Linux for Windows at my new Mac and afterwards use old Windows programs as Photo Shop and PageMaker on my Mac? If yes where at the Internet can I find Linux for Mac and Windows?

What is your definition of a "Linux for Windows" ?
There is Linux like Ubuntu which can be installed on a Mac
See the UbuntuForuns here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam
And there is Microsoft Windows which can be installed and used on a Mac with Apples BootCamp http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ or through Virtualization apps like Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox.
Windows Programs don't run in a Linux only in Windows.

Apple TV and Sky HD

Hi guys,
I was just wondering, is apple tv compatible with sky hd i.e. are you able to plug a sky HD cable in the back and watch hd tv through apple tv on your telebox?

AppleTV is not a satellite decoder or terrestrial digital decoder.
It's a 'media extender' that lets you play things you have in iTunes via your TV (for video this assumes a fairly strict compatibility with what AppleTv can play).
You could plug a Sky feed into any number of non-Sky satellite boxes to watch free to air channels. With a HD capable box you could watch any free HD feeds but having bought a Freesat HD box a few weeks ago just to get a bit of HD feed for my plasma I have to say that the BBC HD service which is all that's effectively available at present (unless you want a high def luxury shopping channel) is not up to much at only about 4 hours of content per day, most of which is of no interest to me.
What we really need in the UK is for the SD broadcasts to be transmitted at decent bitrates - the BBC HD feed is downconverted to view via SCART on my Humax box and the downconverted SD picture is vastly better than the SD broadcasts.
We are getting awful SD digital transmissions that are nowhere near the quality of the SD source material available.

TS1398 iphone 5 and sky hub? My phone connects intermittantly and quite often cannot find the network. Also does not reconnect automatically? Any ideas?

My phone connects intermittantly and quite often cannot find the network. Also does not reconnect automatically? Most of the time says unable to join network? My laptop and ipad seem fine? Very annoying Please help!

All the information you need is right here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
Notice there is no mention of WiMax.
It doesn't really matter anyway as Sprint is rolling their WiMax network down for use by MVNOs. Actual Sprint customers will not have access to WiMax at all. It was a failed experiment.

Wes

Rich,
Wes is probably trying to install a virtual pc in his Windows that run through BootCamp in his MacBook.For example in order to install Linux or Vista Beta.I'm afraid Wes-since Virtual PC 2004 has nothing whatsoever to do with Macs-you'll have few chances to receive help here.I wonder if anyone knows about it...
Here's a link though, http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroups/reader.mspx?dg=microsof t.public.virtualpc&lang=en&cr=US

HT2329 How do I input my songs from my Ipod (old) into my Apple MAC and also into my Iphone?

I want to copy from IPOD to Itunes library so i can add or delete from my Ipod and also so I can load intyo my Iphone. I have over 600 songs and Itunes does not let me load these or create a library. it just wants to erase my songs and of course sell me new songs!

There's some third party applications available for recovering content off an iPod. The following article is pretty old (2008) so it would be best to reality-check the capabilities and availability of the various listed items prior to opting for a particular product:
