Channel Pop-up

How do you make the channel pop-up that appears every time you turn to a new channel appear for less time.  Its there for almost 10 seconds and takes up too much space
Its particularly annoying when you are flipping between games.  I know the channel I flipped to.....get out of my way.

Unfortunately there is no way currently to control how long the info screen stays there or to eliminate it completely. I believe that Verizon is planning to introduce some options in the future, but I have no idea what they may be, or when they might be available.
For now, all I know of that you can do is hit the Exit key, the info screen will disappear immediately. Crude but it works, at least sorta....

  • LR5 Cannot find any Channel Pop up menu in Tone Curve?

    Am reading Kelby's LR 5 book page 162 + 
    Cannot see any place where I can click to see the individual channels adjustment pop up to select chanel. He even has it circled in the illustration but I don't have anything like that in the Tone Curve panel
    What am I missing, I'm in Win 64K
    Thanks in advance for any help

    if your tone curve panel looks like this than click the little box with the curve in it in the bottom righthand corner.
    Then it should look like this

  • LR4.1 - Tone Curve - how to adjust individual RGB channels?

    Hi,
    I am having trouble figuring out how to adjust the curve of individual RGB channels.  I am assuming the LR4 Tone Curve works like the PS Curves dialog with the channel dropdown.
    The LR4.1 Help says:
    To make adjustments to individual points on the tone curve, choose an option from the Point Curve menu, click the Edit Point Curve button , and do any of the following:
    Choose an option from the Channel pop-up menu. You can edit all three channels at once, or choose to edit the Red, Green, or Blue channel individually.
    When I click the little icon in the lower right corner of the Tone Curve panel, the panel shrinks so that I don't see the Regions sliders.  If I click again, they are visible again.  I can't find where to select one of the three indvidual channels.
    The Help refers to "the Point Curve menu."  Where is the Point Curve menu?  Is the Point Curve different from the Tone Curve?
    If I right-click (Windows) in the curve dialog, the context menu has a Show Info option.  I click it on/off and don't see any change or any info.  Where should I be looking for info?
    Thanks for any help here.
    John

    Good morning John,
    The point curve is the one without the sliders. The adjustments for the individual channels are only available with
    PV2012. You must be editing a file with PV2010 or 2003. When in PV2012 you will see " Channels:   RGB" below the curve window. Click on the doule triangles following the RGB
    to pick the individual channel.

  • Alpha channel from Quicktime into AE - broken?

    This has been driving me nuts for some time. I am generating an animation w/alpha channel from my 3D software (FormZ.) It creates a proprietary .fan file containing the animation frames, which is then converted to Quicktime. I am using the animation codec, max quality, millions+ colors. When I import the QT file into Aftereffects, I get the alpha channel pop-up - so it apparently recognizes that something is there - but whether I choose straight or premultiplied, I just get black for the alpha channel with jaggy edges.
    This is on OSX 10.5.5, QT 7.6, Adobe CS4. I have had the issue dating back a year or two, I had thought it was a bug that would be fixed by now - the same process used to work fine with older versions of AE and QT.
    Now - the kicker - when I boot into Windows XP and do the QT (7.5.5) conversion there - then take it back to OSX for import into AE - THE ALPHA CHANNEL WORKS PERFECTLY.
    I have talked with FormZ in the past, they recognize and have duplicated the problem. However, it is apparently a Quicktime issue so there is not much they can do about it.
    This seems like a pretty fundamental issue that I can't believe it would go uncorrected for so long. Why would the Mac version behave differently from the Windows version? Am I completely missing something in the Mac QT? I have played with the various transparency settings under Movie Properties (QT Pro) - but all I get is a dithered mess when I try to change those settings and bring it into AE. I can't even find much discussion of it - I found a reference to Quicktime 7.1.5 breaking alpha channels, but nothing very specific.

    Welcome to the discussions, austinpike.
    Normally, QuickTime should work the same on both systems. However, there are some deep differences in how the OS's work that mean the code isn't fully transportable, so there's a chance some things might get missed, or changed, etc.
    What you should do is go here.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/feedback
    And enter your details that you specified here. It could very well be that no one has reported this as an issue yet. I know I'd been perturbed by something in QuickTime I thought would just "get fixed" but a few versions after sending my bug, it was finally resolved. Hopefully, sending the feedback may put the wheels into motion to get it resolved for you.

  • FCP/AJA IoLA audio glitches when printing 4 channel audio to Digibeta

    Hi...trying to troubleshoot my wife's machine at here office.
    G5 DP2.7GHz
    8GB RAM
    FCP Studio
    AJA IoLA
    Sony DVW A500 Digital Betacam Deck
    DVCPro 50 footage (SDX900)
    DVCPro 50 sequence for editing the show
    10bit NTSC sequence for graphics & printing to tape
    Have updated all drivers & firmware. This is the 2nd different DigiBeta deck we've tried, as well.
    Sending TV show episodes to tape, network requires 4-channel: 2 stereo, 2 discreet.
    When the sound on the music channel drops completely away, we can see and hear pops hitting on the audio meter. It seems to be little glitches from other channels popping in and out of channel 4. Sometimes it's a voice. Sometimes it's nat sound.
    Probably happening all the time, but it's only visible/audible when it's isolated. It doesn't seem to do it on any other channel.
    These audio files are mastered in ProTools and brought into the timeline as one long file for each segment, so there are no parts of the sequence that have nothing there.
    The pops do not show up on the Final Cut mixer.
    The pops only show up when either viewing on external monitor or printing to tape.
    Audio is 48K.
    All we can do to get rid of them is keyframe the mixer to pull all sound out of that track once the music fades down. Sure, no big process, but our sound mixer is already doing that in ProTools. It's doing the same thing twice. There's nothing there, so why should we have to bring it down on every show?

    Tried this today.
    Contacted AJA tech support yesterday and he had me revert from driver v2.1 back to 2.0. Wouldn't print at all, then, so we moved back to 2.1.
    We can print now, but still having the pop issue.

  • Titanium Pro, single GPU, two monitors - SERIOUS static/popping issues

    So here is my setup: Creative X-Fi Titanium Pro, Logitech Z-2300 speakers, Turtle Beach 5. headset (splitters between them to output audio to both), XFX GTX 285, DFI LanParty P45-T2RS mobo, Samsung 206BW monitor, and here's the new addition: Samsung 640 series 32" LCD television connected via DVI-to-HDMI cable. I have the audio out from the TV also spliced into the feed for the speakers.
    Pretty much from day one with the new TV I've had issues with loud static, and random (left to right channel) popping sounds coming from the speakers and headphones, so it has to be coming from the sound card. It only seems to happen when I have the TV on as a second monitor. I first noticed it while trying to watch a movie in Windows Media Player on the TV, then it started being prevalent while playing Call of Duty 4 on the 20" monitor with the TV on with my Xfire, Ventrilo, and Firefox open. It seems like the extra duty the GPU is putting out interferes with the sound card or something. I've tried moving them both to a different slot but it didn't make any difference.
    Does anyone know of anything else that could be causing this? Maybe a power issue? I've got a 650 watt PSU (Seasonic S2). I'm thinking I might just have to throw in the towel and junk my $30 sound card.... ugh.
    p.s. I've also got an issue to where if I leave it in one audio mode (Entertainment or Game) for more than a couple hours the sound goes completely to s*** and I'm forced to switch modes and go back, forcing me to close any and all sound producing applications (iTunes, WMP, Firefox) otherwise they freeze. For example I like to play a playlist in iTunes as I go to sleep, but when I wake up and try to play something its completely garbled and staticky (loud too)[email protected]

  • My airport doesn't manually shut down: airport icon is off, but activity monitor shows lots of packets still flowing. Its not my activity- all updates turned off. Virus?

    I'm running a Macbook Pro circa 2007 with OSX 10.6.8 and Firefox 27.0.1, and just had a circumstance that really puzzled me. I have a Hughesnet satellite modem with wireless router that I connect to via the airport, and I use Little Snitch software in the demo mode so I know and have to approve which software can send info through the internet connection., but the demo mode had just timed out and terminated and within a half hour of that the computer fans started speeding up to max and the CPU got blazing hot (+200 degF).
    Worried, I looked at the activity monitor and it was showing lots of internet activity even though I wasn't doing anything on the internet at the time, and I have all my software updates set to manual because otherwise they would use up my allotted daytime bandwidth and leave none for me. I'd already completed manual software updates during the nightly free time recently. Fearing my computer was hijacked & out of my control, I turned the airport off to terminate the internet connection, BUT IT DIDN'T TURN OFF, and though the indicator in the top right of the screen said it was off, packets were still streaming back & forth like crazy on the activity monitor, and the poor thing was still overheating. So I rebooted the computer, and when it came back up there was no internet activity, and things started cooling down, back to normal again.
     Though I'm no techie, this seems to me like my computer has been hijacked by some virus that has taken control of the airport and is feeding me lies about the internet connection status, so that it can use my computer for sending out its own messages. Has anyone heard of a virus that prevents the airport from being turned off, and what should I do about it? I'm afraid to back up my data with my time machine, though its been months since that was done, for fear I'd overwrite a virus-free state of the time machine files with a virus laden one, but I also hate to do something to clean up the machine without backing up my files, and lose a bunch of data. Is there virus protection software that could surgically search out and remove only the virus from my machine and leave most everything else untouched?
    Any advice is welcome,
    Christina

  • DHCP & self-assigned IP problem-Airport doesn't work

    I'm not really a technical type, but I'm pretty quick to pick things up and several weeks of trying to deal with this issue has made me pretty knowledgeable about things related to it specifically.
    Background:
    I have a month-old Macbook Pro that runs Snow Leopard and is up to date on all its software stuff. On our home network we have another pretty new Macbook Pro running 10.5.9 and a fairly old Macbook also running 10.5.9.
    We have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. Our network uses a 40-bit Hex WEP password.
    Problem(s):
    When I try to connect to our wireless network, Network preferences tells me that it cannot connect because of a self-assigned IP address. Sure enough, the IP address DHCP comes up with is of the 64.XX.XX.XX variety. Google's revealed that this is a common problem for all recent versions of OSX, back to at least Tiger.
    The "subnet mask" it comes up with is 255.255.0.0, which is different from the settings on our other (working) computers, which is 255.255.255.0. I'm not sure what this means, or whether it's significant. Renewing the DHCP lease either comes up with the same 64.XX.XX.XX type or, sometimes, it comes up with no IP settings at all. The most frustrating thing about this is that if I chose "DHCP with manual address" and type in any in our set that I've confirmed isn't in use and hit "apply", as soon as I go back to the panel it has reverted to the 64.XX.XX.XX type.
    I've also tried manually entering the router/subnet mask/IP data, as well as the DNS numbers, and that leads to the Network Settings connectivity dot thing being green, but the internet still doesn't work. In those cases, diagnostics claims that everything is fine up to and including the ISP, but that it's unable to connect to the server and internet.
    Of note: some people with a similar problem have talked about networks with this problem working intermittently, but mine seems to be consistently broken.
    Initially I was able to avoid fixing the problem by using our neighbors' unsecured wireless network, which is sort of awful, I know, but at least it kept me from having to deal with this for a while. Today it started to do the same thing to that network. Both networks continue to work on our Macbook and other Macbook Pro, which is why I don't think that it's a router problem.
    I've been able to connect to our other computers through computer-to-computer networks—going through our main shared network (and thus the wireless router) doesn't seem to work—which I think shows that the Airport card/hardware itself is intact (?). I did try connecting to the internet through the "internet sharing" option on our Macbook, but that had the exact same problems.
    Another thing that may or may not be relevant, but is equally infuriating:
    I've also noticed that my Macbook Pro has more trouble staying connected to a network than our Macbook—even when it was working, it disconnected/timed out extremely often, which is something our Macbook never does, even from the same location. When I try to connect to a network it spends a very long time displaying the "searching for network" animation in the menu bar icon, sometimes after the Network Preferences pane believes that it's connected, and sometimes even after I hit the button to turn Airport off. It's also started refusing to connect to any networks at all, on occasion, which is especially evident in the process of the diagnostics box thingy, because there it actually tells me it's unable to connect rather than just playing the searching animation for ages.
    Here are some other things that I've tried:
    setting up a new 'location'
    restarting the computer
    deleting the airport preferences file
    restarting in safe mode
    restarting open firmware
    confirming that the firewall allows all incoming thingies
    resetting the router
    making sure the keychain password allows all applications to access it
    connecting to the internet through a computer-to-computer network from another machine
    Because the situation has deteriorated over time, I'd also like to know whether people think that it's two problems (the type of router then later the airport hardware(?)/software(?) itself, perhaps) or just one. Since I've tried basically everything besides switching out our router, I'm kind of inclined to blame it on that, especially because one of the more plausible explanations for this problem that I've heard is a time-out error due to Airport expecting a faster response than it's able to get from older routers; however, the fact that other networks haven't been working means that it's not likely to be just the router. If it's just one problem, which is the simpler explanation, then I guess there's something properly wrong with my computer's software, in which case I guess I'll take it to the Apple Store. :/
    I'm in love with my computer otherwise, and I'll admit that I spent a good twenty minutes sobbing out of frustration over this. Any help would be immensely appreciated.

  • IMac no longer detecting any networks...

    Hi again all...
    My 24 inch white iMac recently went in for repair after having graphics issues (no other issue ever, everything perfect). It came back, switched it on, runs fast again and has no graphics issues.
    However, Airport now does not seem to be detecting ANY network at all. Normally it would pick up my home network (router in the next room), as well as 1-2 other networks which are likely from other houses nearby. This has always been the same for the life of the computer. My MacBook has absolutely no issues detecting my home network as well as other networks, as per usual.
    I have tried resetting the SMC, PRAM, removing and re-adding Airport, running Network Diagnostics, etc but it just cannot find anything at all. I even tried messing with my router a bit by changing the security a few times, the MacBook detected it fine again, but nothing on the iMac. Same thing after trying another router too. Also, the Airport card seems to be detected fine in System Profiler.
    I cannot seem to figure out what's causing this and how to resolve it. Please can anyone advise me on what else I could try and what the problem could be?
    Thanks, hope you guys can help!

    HI,
    Try changing the Airport Channel.
    Open AirPort Utility (Applications/Utilities)
    Select the device you’re setting up on the left and then click Manual Setup. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    Choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu.
    If that doesn't help, go to /Library/Preferences. Move all the files in the System Configuration folder to the Trash, restart the iMac.

  • Workable Task?:  AirPort Express "g", Time Capsule, Panasonic VieraCast

    I have been at this for a few hours, a wall has been the result for a bit of the process.
    I have the following:
    iMac
    Airport Express "g" series (circa 2004?)
    Time Capsule 1TB (bought yesterday)
    Panasonic TV (TC-P50G15) with Viera Cast (bought two weeks ago)

    My iMac has internet access from the Time Capsule using a networking cable, my internet provider cable is running into the Time Capsule. All is working very well.
    I am attempting to connect the Panasonic TV to the Airport Express to allow access to the online content. This TV is in another part of the house from my iMac and Time Capsule.
    How do I get the Airport Express to gain access to the internet? I am certain it is an easy matter, I have missed something in this process.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers.

    In order to enable the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) Ethernet port, you will have to configure both the Time Capsule (TC) & the AX for a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
    Here are the basic steps to do so:
    (Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS.)
    o Perform a "hard" reset on the Time Capsule (TC) and a "factory default" reset on the 802.11b/g AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
    Main Base Station Setup - TC
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the TC.
    o Open AirPort Utility.
    o Select the TC, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base
    Station menu.
    o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
    o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
    o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the AX.
    o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
    Remote Base Station Setup - AX
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the AX.
    o Open AirPort Utility.
    o Select the AX, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
    o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the WDS Main field.
    o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

  • Time Capsule (SIM) expand network with 802.11b/g Airport Extreme

    Hi, I try to expand a Airport-Network which is set up with a Time Capsule (SIM (latest model). I like to use an Airport-Extreme-Basestation to expand the network. The two devices will be connected wireless. In the helpfile there is a explantation how to do this with 802.11n-devices but when it comes to the 802.11b/g-devices it just says I should have a look on the apple support-pages. I do not find anything there.
    I tried everything, but it did not work. I've had a Time Capsule (first model) which died some days ago (the well known powersupply problem). With this Time Capsule I did not had any problems to set up a WDS.
    What to do?

    Setting Up Time Capsule as a Second Wireless Router
    802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station -> 802.11n Time Capsule
    With "mixed" AirPorts, you will need to configure both routers into a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Your neighbor's AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) will be the main and your Time Capsule (TC) will be the remote base station in this WDS.
    To simplify setup, you should connect your TC directly to the AirPort's LAN port by Ethernet. Once the WDS is configured, you can disconnect the TC and place it at the desired location.
    The following are the basic configuration steps to create a WDS:
    (Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, jot down the AirPort IDs (MAC addresses) for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS. The AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom/side of the base station.)

    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.
    o Open AirPort Utility (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
    o Select the main base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base

  • Safari won't  open websites on hotel network in korea, but other macs will

    I'm in South Korea on business and am staying at a hotel with free wireless. I'm the only person here that can't get my computer to work correctly. I'm actually writing this from a mac computer using safari. I have tried both Safari and firefox on my mac and the pages act like they will load and show about 25% of the blue bar loading, but it never finishes. I don't get an error message, just nothing finishes.
    In america the mac airport seems to work fine but occasionally when I go to a hotel or am at the airport I have problems getting the "terms of agreement" page to load. Both Safari and Firefox will try to load my home page unsuccessfully, but if I load the name of the network in the root directory it will go to that page and let me "accept the terms". RDU airport is a good example. When I go in the skyclub my pages won't load, even if I have been there before. I have to go the root directory and put in either "delta.com" or tmobile.com" (the name of the network is tmobile). I have had the same problem at hotels I have stayed at, but have always managed to make it work. Well not this time!
    I'm trying to think of questions you might have. It says I'm connected to the network, it gives an ip address. Again, I'm travelling with 20 people and they are not having any troubles. I even checked my network and safari settings against this computer I'm using and everything appears to be the same.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    HI,
    Since both browsers are effected, make sure there is enough free disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.
    Launch Safari. From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Click
    "Change Settings" next to Proxies. That will prompt the System Preferences / Proxies panel.
    Under: Select a protocol to configure: Make sure none of the boxes are selected.
    Relaunch Safari.
    Also, try changing the Airport channel. Open AirPort Utility (Applications/Utilities)
    Select Airport on the left, and then click Manual Setup.
    Click AirPort in the menu, then click Wireless tab.
    Choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu, click Update. Try accessing the web again.
    If that doesn't help, go to /Library/Preferences. Move all the files in the System Configuration folder to the Trash, restart your Mac.

  • New express doesn't extend old express network

    My old AirPort Express runs a printer, and AirTunes to our stereo. I just added the new AirPort Express to the network in hopes of extending coverage in the house. Installation went well, and both devices are working. But the signal strength is not improved at all. Should I be using the old Express as the extender, and the new one as the "base"? Thanks for any ideas out there.

    When mixing 802.11n & 802.11g AirPort, you will only be able to setup a WDS in order to extend the wireless network. You will not be able to use the newer 802.11n's "extend a network" feature.
    Here are the basic steps in setting up a WDS ...
    (Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs (MAC addresses) for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS. The AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom/side of the base station.)
    Main Base Station Setup
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.
    o Open AirPort Utility (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
    o Select the main base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base
    Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window.
    o Enter the base station password if necessary. If the base station is using the
    default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
    o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
    o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
    o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the base station you want to connect to this base station.
    o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
    Remote Base Station Setup
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as a remote base station.
    o Open AirPort Utility (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
    o Select the remote base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Enter the base station password, if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
    o Enter the same network password as the main base station, if necessary.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
    o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the WDS Main field.
    o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

  • Can I use a 2nd Airport Express to bring internet to a wired-only desktop?

    Hi.
    I have an Airport Express that's working flawlessly as a wireless router via a cable modem. Problem is, I have a second computer ( a desktop PC) that's too far away from the cable modem to hook it up via the ethernet. Is it possible to use a second Airport Express to extend the wireless network and thereby connect to my desktop with the ethernet cord? I guess this would be kind of using the AE backwards. If this is possible, could you please tell me how I might do it?
    Thanks so much!

    Here are the basic steps in setting up a WDS:
    (Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs (not the Ethernet ID) for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS. The AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom/side of the base station.
    I suggest that you also perform a "factory default" reset on each of your AXs to get them to their original "out-of-the-box" configuration.
    Finally, for this WDS, AX#1 (the AX connected to the Internet modem) will be the main base station, and AX#2 will be the remote base station.)
    Main Base Station Setup - AX#1
    o On your MacBook Pro (MBP) click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by AX#1.
    o Open AirPort Utility (located in the /Applications/Utilities folder).
    o Select AX#1, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then, choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS, and then, choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
    o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox.
    o Click the Add "+" button, and then, enter the AirPort ID of AX#2.
    o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
    Remote Base Station Setup - AX#2
    o On the MBP click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar, and then, choose the wireless network created by AX#2.
    o Open AirPort Utility if not already running.
    o Select AX#2, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS, and then, choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
    o Enter the AirPort ID of AX#1.
    o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

  • Burning CDs in mono

    I have the song "Cornet Man" by Barbara Striesand but the only problem is that the song isn't in mono.
    does that make sense?
    half of the speakers in my school auditorium have been blown out, the left ones. so in the beginning, only half of the song can be heard. :/ the rest of the time, I just hear an echo of the lyrics.
    does anybody know how i can reburn the CD so that it's in mono?

    sure thing...
    First, make note of the current file's bit rate (128K, 192K, ...) and encoding type (AAC, MP3)
    * Go to iTunes Preferences -> Advanced tab -> Importing tab
    * make note of the current setting
    * Set "Import using" to the encoding type of the file
    * Select "Custom..." from the Setting pop-up list
    * Set the bit rate to the same value as the original file
    * Set the "Channels" pop-up to "Mono"
    * click OK to get back to iTunes
    * right-click the original song and select "Convert to..."
    You'll end up with two files/entries in iTunes - the original and your new mono version. Look at Get Info -> Summary tab to make sure you know which is which and then change the name on the mono version by adding a " - mono" to the end.
    Oh yes, and reset your import settings to their original values.
