Can't connect on the internet. At a friend's house, but when I type the password in, the "OK" tab is shaded out, and therefore I can't enter the password, which will allow me to connect to friend's server. I have 10.5.8 Leopard installed in my laptop.

I'm visiting a friend, and I can't connect to her internet. My operating system is 10.5.8 Leopard. I have a laptop. When I type in the password, the "OK" tab is shaded out, preventing me from entering the password, and thereby preventing me from getting onto her server. Any suggestions?

Hi is this Wifi/Airport?
If so...
Instead of joining it from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.

Trying to find software update which will allow me to connect with ipad

Trying to find software update which will allow me to connect with ipad

From the pictures I found, there should be two ports on the back - a firewire 400 and a serial port. But I'm not clear how many variations of this duet there may actually have been (there is also a duet 2 I saw, but that is clearly distinct from the duet).
If your ports look like that, regardless of the cable, that port on the right is a standard firewire 400 port. The one on the left looks like a standard serial port to me.
So it seems to me a firewire 400 to firewire 800 cable - http://store.apple.com/us/product/HA833ZM/A/belkin-firewire-800400-9-pin6-pin-ca ble-2-m66-ft coupled with a firewire 800 to thunderbolt adapter should work for you - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r?fnode=51
They actually have those at the stores usually, so you could take the duet to an Apple store, tell them what you believe you need, and then make sure with them before you actually buy anything.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.
IF the iPad is working ok but is signed in to another users Apple ID use the Settings app to sign out of the old ID and sign in to your Apple ID.
Settings > itunes and App Store > tap on the applie ID and sign out > sign in with your Apple ID.
you should then be able to download or purchase apps using your Apple ID.

New to imac, used a pc before and am used to windows Vista. what can i get for my imac which will allow me to continue using windows? doesn't have to be vista in fact would prefer it if its the newest windows application

what window programme can i get for my new imac. would like the latest windows with outlook and all the other stuff. also bought it from a friend and need to remove his name from it, but have followed all the instructions and its still there, can anyone advise please?

If you have an intel Mac, you can use BootCamp, which is part of your OS and allows you to run Windows.

TS1398 I just bought my first Ipad, and I am unable to get beyond the set-up. The Ipad will not connect to the internet, even though everything else does. When I click on settings there is no option buttons for General and then reset, or General WiFi.

All it saids is that "The Wi-Fi network you selected is not providing an internet connection. Change your settings or choose a different network, and when I select Settings, I just get the list of networks. Nothing which was listed up above in the trouble shooting appears.

Cycle power in your network router. Make sure it has its latest firmware.
If that doesn't solve it, next try resetting your iPad. Hold the on/off and power buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

I downloaded a game off the internet that is intended for Macs, but when I tried to open it textedit open saying "This program cannot run in DOS mode"

How do I fix this? I thought Macs didn't have DOS mode.

They don't. What is the game and do you have a link to where you got it?

I just got an iphone 4s. Now the search iphone function is not working. When I swipe the start screen, the search box shows up. But when I type what I want to search, there is no action. Please help.

Try this...
You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

HT1695 My iPad shows it is connected to the Internet wherever there is free wifi but it is getting up and I can't get it to work? I tried rebooting but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

My iPad shows it is connected to the Internet wherever there is free wifi but it is getting up and I can't get it to work? I tried rebooting but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Any help appreciated

You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

There is no Info tab in Mavericks
if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.
