Can someone explain some things to me?

Okay, I connect to the internet through the airport through AT&T wireless. The main phone the wireless is running off is in the front of the house, but when i go to my bedroom to do homework the single completely fades and I can't connect to the internet. (Which is a pain because I do classes online) Is there something I can do to fix this?

Signal loss is typically caused by Wi-Fi interference. Most likely the causes of this interference is either other local Wi-Fis or building construction, like walls between your bedroom and where the wireless modem is located.
Some of the options you can try:
o Determine the cause of the interference. You can use a free utility, like iStumbler, to find out if other Wi-Fis are operating in the nearby area, and then, possibly switch radio channels that your wireless modem is broadcasting on so that it uses a different channel than any you find.
o Find another location for the wireless router.
o Get an AirPort Express Base Station (AX). Reconfigure it as a ProxySTA, and connect your PowerBook directly to it with an Ethernet cable.
o Get a transceiver. Two vendors of such devices are: QuickerTek & hField Technologies.

  • Can Someone Explain the order of things Using Swingworker?

    Hi:
    Can someone explain very clearly the order of things using Swingworker? Please do not refer the SUN tutorials. I am totally dead in the water with a very large application and the order of things is not sensible. Also, if the worker thread is too long, the GUI gets updated, but my progress bar (killed right after in the finished method) remains running in some instances only.
    Can someone explain any debugging methods for thread work?
    I am a veteran programmer of 19 years and this one's got me. The event dispatch thread returns immediate, the GUI responds well, but the progress bar setVisible(false); ... just after in the finished() method (on Event Dispatch thread) does not go away, continues running, only on very long (large query) work. I'm truly stumped. I have successful applications of the Swingworker use, the progress bar, and everything works fine. Not this one.
    Debugging threads is what I need. Or some tool that visually shows threads as the program runs.
    Thanks for any help,
    PiratePete

    Thanks. I guess I should count my blessings when using free stuff. But I have been impressed with what the J2SDK has to offer. I have been writing a complicated application that I am going to market and most of my problems have been "design" in nature.
    Thanks again,

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Can someone explain how .prel files work?

    Can someone explain how .prel files work?  My C drive is O/S and programs, my D drive is storage and the project file(s) (the .prel file) are on my E drive. 
    How is this supposed to be more efficient/faster?  P.E. (C drive) has to constantly communicate back and forth across drives with the .prel file and all the files in the subfolders?  It seems like it would be slower. 
    As I mentioned in a previous post; my zooms in/out of the Timeline are VERY slow.  It is almost 1 second before the Timeline gets bigger/smaller.  Any info would be great,thanks!

    By using multiple HDD's, one is spreading the I/O (Input/Output) load over various HDD's. The controller is faster than a single HDD, being tasked to read/write from/to multiple places. One of the first laws of physics is that an object cannot be in more than one place, at the same time. The heads on a HDD are no different. If requests for multiple reads are made, the heads will position themselves over on place on the platters, read, and then move to the next requested location, and so on. However, with multiple HDD's, and a good, fast controller, the heads of each HDD will be placed, where necessary, so reads are done at once, from multiple locations.
    For ultimate performance, a good setup would be as follows:
    C:\ system OS and programs (more reading being done here, than writing)
    D:\ Project files (PREL's in this case)
    E:\ RAID 0 Scratch Disks for Media Cache, but not Render files (both reading and writing)
    F:\ RAID 0 Media files (more reading, but also writing)
    G:\ RAID 0 Export/Share and Render files
    Some go so far as to separate out Audio Assets from Video Assets, and use a separate RAID 0 for each
    The downside of that "ultimate performance" setup, is that when a Project is completed, to clean up, one has to go to many HDD's, and locations. There can also be issues when Archiving a Project, because things are scattered about.
    I get "good performance" by having my Project, Copies of my Assets and all Scratch Disks on one HDD. What I give up in performance, I make up for with housekeeping chores, when the Project is done. I still spread my OS/programs from my Projects, with separate physical HDD's.
    Good luck, and hope that this helps,
    Hunt
    PS - Above, I mention RAID 0, but even greater speed can be achieved via many HDD's in the Array, and perhaps a RAID 50. RAID 0 is just two physical HDD's. Also, for RAID, I recommend a dedicated RAID controller card, and NOT software, or the MoBo's RAID capability.

  • Can someone explain this flashmo sample?

    Hi,
    I'm a newbie in flash and looking at this sample project.
    http://www.flashmo.com/preview/flashmo_169_intro
    I opened it with flash cs3, and can see actionscript on the actions layer, and can see symbols in the library. However, I cannot figure out what makes the symbols swoosh in/out in sequence. The actionscript on the actions layer does not have that, or so I figured.
    Can someone explain where I need to look at?
    Thanks.
    Ben

    This is another good reason for never using scenes in Flash designs--they put things where they cannot be easily found.  There is no actionscript for the animations, but there is a second scene that contains all of the animation.  If you open the secnes panel you will find a second scene that includes all of what you are wondering about.
    Ooops, sorry Rob.  ....bad timing.

  • Can someone explain "copy address" in Mail?

    I have never understood why when you click on an address in an e-mail and then select "copy address" what you get is not only the address but also the name. For  instance,  "[email protected]" when you copy and paste yields "Name <[email protected]>".  This is a royal pain because if I for instance want to paste this in another application like in the address field for Evernote to send a note to someone, I then have to manually remove everything but the actual e-mail address.
    So can someone explain why Mail does it this way?  What am I missing?  Is there an easier way to copy just the e-mail address that won't give me the extra crap?

    Outstanding!  And I love the commentary, "incredibly irritating".  This is one of those, "what were they thinking?" changes.  There must be some logic behind the change but I have never figured it out. 
    Glad someone figured out how to fix it.

  • Can someone explain why upgrading to PSE 12 resulted in two kinds of people tags?

    Can someone explain why upgrading to PSE 12 resulted in two kinds of people tags? One is the new Group tag (with its own two-person icon) and the other tag is the original People tag (one perswon silhouette icon) from previous version. If person already had been tagged the new People Group will not work. Anyone else having a problem or has found a solution?

    jlovettjr wrote:
    I would have no problem with using the new People tabs except for two things:
    1) There are pictures of people that facial recognition cannot handle. An example would be a profile view. These have already been tagged with old people tags. The new People Tab is dependent on facial recognition and will not accept these.
    I don't use facial recognition at all, sorry.
    2) The mystery is that the conversion from old to new was not automatic during the upgrade. Hours on telephone with Adobe tech did not resolve how one reconciled the two different tags. It appears to be more than a problem of naming the tags.
    As I explained, there was no conversion at all with my own categories, and I was too happy for that. From a number of other posts on that subject, I don't think that reconciling the two different kinds of tags is possible. I think I'll try a new conversion from an old PSE6 catalog so that I can play with the new scheme; that should work even without face tagging.

  • Can someone explain pricing?

    I'm a bit conflicted about pricing issues with other english-speaking countries. Can someone explain the process?

    Just like with apps, there is a floating/similar price based on the same tier, region by region. That's why Apple uses tiers, so they can adjust localized pricing while keeping the same tier. If you want similar pricing across regions, use the same tier in all.
    This goes back to when music was the only thing in the store and it's not unusual for Apple to make adjustments from time to time.  I believe it's a concession to the various industries, etc.

  • Can someone explain to me Vector Class !!

    Can someone explain to me, or tell me where I can find a good tutorial about Vector class.....in simple terms....any good simple, easy to understand tutorials???
    Thank you.
    Rod

    Start with this:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/util/Vector.html
    Essentially, a vector is a single Java object that allows you to store a group of similar things. Each item, or element, inside the Vector must be of the same type, or Java class. The important thing to remember about Vectors is that their size is not fixed. If you don't know how many items you need to store in advance, a Vector is a useful datastore, because you can simply add items into it without worrying about reaching the maximum size. The Vector object will grow itself as you add elements.
    The important methods are described in the above API. Read through it carefully.

  • HT5463 In my opinion, when the Silence setting is "only when the device is locked", it contradicts the settings you set above, like Manual. Can someone explain how these settings work together?

    Can someone explain how these settings work together? Manual seams to contraduct the SILENCE setting at the bottom of the Do Not Disturb page. It's very confusing.

    You should have seen information in the support document that you linked from. It used to be with the first version of Do Not Disturb that it would only function when the device was locked. That changed with iOS 7, and not it can be active all of the time. With it on Manual, it is on, but if you have the device "awake" that you can still receive calls/texts, etc. Sort of like you have the phone awake, so it isn't a problem for you to receive things. If you set the settings for Always, this means you can be doing things on the phone and not be disturbed by anything else. Does that make sense?

    I have two standalone servers configured on this machine (development box), and therefore two CMS configured to listen on port numbers 16575 and 16525. These are confirmed by the 12th and penultimate line. 
    Question: Why are another two CMSs also appearing on ports 48300 and 46093 (lines 10 and 11)?
    Secondly, I have registered the Desktop Intelligence servers to ports 16535 and 16585 (as shown in lines 5 and 19). They are spawning
    child processes on ports 1025 and 1026.
    Question: Can I fix the spawned child ports to a fixed range instead of them being selected randomly?

    I solved the CMS problem - I hadn't changed the CMS request ports. D'OH! Below are the command lines for the two child processes. Is there any documentation around port number controls?

    I posted in this thread an example that illustrates how to use the 3d graph to do surfaces ac lines.
    The type of data that you present to the 3d graph depends on which mthod you are using. In general you want to present a set of points that need plotted. These points are defined by taking one value for each of the XYZ and sometimes W arrays.
    Explanation:
    You want to plot a surface that is defined by four point (X0,Y0,Z0,W0), (X1,Y1,Z1,W1), etc. You can present the values using (4) 2-d arrays each of which have four values at index (o,o), (0,1), (1,0) and (1,1).
    Thie first point plotted would be the point that is defined by taking (0,0) from each of the arrays.
    So as you can see from the above all of your arrays should be of the same size and dimensions for this to work.
    Look at the Example i posted in the other thread and try some small experiments with small data sets before you jump to anything complicated.
    I hope that helps,

  • Can someone explain how to set up an administrator account so that I can have my phone and my daughters have separate apple ids?

    I mistakenly updated to the latest version of iOS and ever since then I can send messages to my daughter and I receive them but she does not.  She has an iphone also and her phone is under my apple id also.  Someone told me that I could set up an Administrator Account so that she can still be under my account but she has her own ID and that will fix the problem with text/imessages.  I can't find anything on the website that explains how to do that.  Can someone explain that to me?
    Thanks!

    I'm still not clear on what you are trying to accomplish. If you have an iPhone and she does as well you should have your own Apple IDs.
    If you want to pay for any purchases she makes with her phone as far as apps/music goes than that is what Family sharing is for.
