Christmas Connection - Please help - CABLE/Netgear

I am buying my little brother a macbook for christmas.
my parents who live in the same house have a mini mac and i just ordered them a Netgear RangeMax 802.11g Wireless Router so that my brother can get online with the same connection. I can walk my parents through setting up the wireless router over the phone but not really sure what I need to tell my brother to setup the connection for his system?
As long as the router is hooked up right will the macbook automatically locate the connection from the netgear router?
Please help.

He can click on the Airport icon, and should see the network listed. If it is encrypted, it will ask for the password once he click on the network's name. He enters the password, and Airport will connect.
If it is unencrypted, Airport will usually pop up and ask if he would like to join the open wireless network.

Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes has no affect on the media on the computer or the account it is linked to.
If the media was purchased under another iTunes account, then it is permanently tied to that account.

I have the WRT160N router. On both the wired and wireless computer I cant always open the internet, even thoue it says its connected. Im also using the Linkys adapter, samething happens with this. Any help please?

You need to Upgrade/Flash your router's firmware if it is loosing the connection...You can download the Firmware from here , Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

I suppose it is the problem with socket connection,Please help

Hi,
I'm trying to build a chat server in Java on Linux OS.I've created basically 2 classes in the client program.The first one shows the login window.When we enter the Login ID & password & click on the ok button,the data is sent to the server for verification.If the login is true,the second class is invoked,which displays the messenger window.This class again access the server
for collecting the IDs of the online persons.But this statement which reads from the server causes an exception in the program.If we invoke the second class independently(ie not from 1st class) then there is no problem & the required data is read from the server.Can anyone please help me in getting this program right.I'm working on a p4 machine with JDK1.4.

You're connecting to the server twice. After you've successfully logged in, pass the Socket to the Messenger class.
public class Messenger {
    Socket connect;
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Messenger mes = new Messenger(args[0]);
    Messenger(Socket s, String strg) {
        this.connect = s;

Very slow connection, please help!

Hi all
I hope someone here can give more help than the BT call centre.
My speed has dropped dramatically over the last month. I have gone from getting around 3.5mbps-4mbps to now less than 0.5mbps.
I have done the BT speed test and I have also copied the ADSL settings and status. I have pasted this below.
Can someone please advise me of any advice as I am stumped. I would consider myself pretty computer savvy but I am completly at a loss with this.
This test is done using a wireless laptop whilst the Homehub was plugged into the test socket located on the master socket. The speed tests are identical to when I do this on a wired desktop and the Homehub plugged into a different socket.

BT have advised that the speed test is the maximum I can receive on my line but the homehub shows a massively higher speed. I'm confused.
Please help me!
Many thanks
Lee

welcome to the forum
you have a 5mb connection but your noise margin is a bit high at 11.1 as normal about 6. the real problem is your profile is down at 500 instead of 4500 and this is probably due to the resets/disconnection which eithe you have done trying to improve your speed or the hub has done on it's own.
if you stay connected 24/5 for 3/5 with no resets/disconnections your profile will rise to 4500. you may find later that your noise margin drops to nearer 6 with a slight increase in your connection speed

40GB IPod Click Wheel Freezes iTunes When Connected - Please Help?!

I have only had my ipod 3 months and it was given to me as a present so the ipod thing is quite new to me.
Recently my ipod froze and after reseting as per instructions it showed a folder icon and apple support.com.
I turned the ipod back on after that to find all my music files gone, i tried connecting my ipod back to my lap top to download the music again but iTunes just freezes.
I have also placed my ipod in disk mode to completley restore it but i cannot do this if iTunes wont recoginze its there.
I am completely lost and gutted that after only 3 months i have lost faith in the ipod already and just listen to my music through my lap top at home now.
I left all my cd's back in england before i came to oz and have nothing to listen to in the car now.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks in advance

I guess nobody else has had this problem?
Does anybody know if you can e-mail apple direct to express how useless their services are or even to try to get an explanation from them of how to correct the problem before i throw their ipod in the bin?

I get message when attempting to access many websites - unrusted connection, please help

I have been accessing many websites via firefox for many years, but over the past3-4 days I have been receiving the message - untrusted website, with the technical details informing me that www.google.com uses an invalid security certificate because no issuer chain was provided. I have uninstalled firefox 31, and replaced it with No:30, but it has made no difference because the problem still persists in this version as well. I have tried going through chrome and yahoo to those same sites but I experience very slow dial up type speeds in pages both loading and opening through those other browsers, and I am now feeling very frustrated in going onto the net at all presently, and I've just upgraded my data usage through my provider www.slingshot.co.nz from 40 to 80 gigs per month, but this is now also feeling like a lost cause as well. I am hoping someone at firefox may be able to help resolve this very troublesome issue, although I have also read some other stories contributed on this same matter, but I do not know if they were ever resolved either. Please help because I am now at my wits end upon it and have nothing else able to do, including what to do with the trouble shooter I downloaded at your suggestion from firefox - Thankyou.

Meanwhile, assuming the worst (malware), here are some suggestions for clean up.
Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
In particular, be on the lookout for Browser Safeguard (or similar name) or Sendori.
Then, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Finally, you can "mop up" remaining issues with the scanning/cleaning tools suggested in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Any change?

Nokia BH 501, unstable connection please help

Hi
I just purchased the Nokia BH 501 stereo bluetooth headset. The sound quality is OK, but it has been very unstable espesially when I'm walking with my phone in my pocket it keeps falling out. I'm using it on a Nokia 6120 Classic. Is it anything I can do to improve the stability?
Please help!

Hi All,
I am having the same problem. I have a 5310 Xpressmusic and I basically can't move at all with the bh 501. This is a very poor product as I bought them to use while exercising, usually walking, but it is the same on the train or whatever.
It doesn't matter what pochet or whatever it is still the same problem - constant drop outs!
Also the volume is not loud enough and it barely can cope with the sound of the tram (I live in Melbourne Australia) when I catch it to work.
I am really very angry about this and have been putting comments that the product is lousy on technology evaluation sites.
Have a look at http://www.cnet.com.au/mobilephones/accessories/0,239025938,339273962,00.htm
and you will see many comments along the same lines.
Is Nokia going to lift their game and tell and fix this problem for us or give our money back???
FIX IT NOW - COMPLETE RIP OFF!!!!!

Audio issues after export to QT (Christmas present - please help!)

I've made a nice presentation in Keynote 4.0.1. My plan was to export it to QT, then
make a DVD of the result. It's supposed to be a chrismas gift to my parents (a presentation
about their newborn grandchild) but now I'm stuck with no working audio.
The presentation includes a few video clips and mp3-audio. They work perfectly when I
preview the presentation in Keynote, but when I try to export them the sound from the
videoclips is gone, and the audio from all the mp3:s stops after about a second.
I have tried to work around this by converting the presentation to Flash, it helps the audio,
but then all the transitions, slides and pictures are messed up.
I've been working with this all night, looked on all forums, without success.
Please, pretty please, all you Santas out there - HELP ME BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!!
Thanks,
Henrik

Ok. Now I've tried a lot more ways to make this work. I'm getting more and more desperate!
One way was to plug in a headphone cable in the line-in and plug-it in "headphones", and record the audio from the slide as "recorded narrations" in Keynote. This worked on one slide - with lots of audio latency, but when I tried it on the whole slideshow Keynote freaked out and crashed.
I hate this excellent program. I wonder - how can Apple release, and expect people to pay for something so buggy and obviously unfinished as iWork '08.
I've worked with MS Office and Open Office, but never, ever had so much trouble with sudden crashes, missing audio, latency and non-working videoclips! If I had a company I would never risk
to use this software for important speaches and annual reports.

P.S Sorry for my English, I'm to upset to think about grammar and spelling. D.S

WiFi randomly stopped working and won't connect, PLEASE HELP

Okay, so, I have had my 32G, 3rd generation i-pod touch since Christmas and the WiFi has worked since day 1. Today, my WiFi worked all day until about 6 o'clock. I went to google something and it said that my WiFi wasn't connected. So, I went to settings and WiFi and clicked on my router. I entered in the password and it said it was "unable to connect". I have tried this multiple times, reset network settings, turned it off and back on, and tries some more and it still won't work. Then, I went to call Apple Support, but it was too late and the stupid 90 day thing where you can only get support for 90 days after purchase wouldn't have let me ask for help anyways! So, basically, what I am asking is: does anyone have a clue how I can fix my WiFi?
Help is greatly appreciated!

You can start with this support article about troubleshooting WiFi on an iOS device.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
Normally I would also suggest that you update your iOS to version 5 which is out now, but you may want to hold off on that and see if you can resolve the WiFi issue with the troubleshootings steps in the article first.
