Did I buy the wrong wireless NIC card?

Hello all .... I have a small home network consisting of 3 laptops and 2 desktops ... They were all connected via a WRT54G router with the one desktop farthest away using a wmp11 wireless NIC ..... this particular desktop is approx 75 - 100 ft away from the router ... so far there's been no problems, but that one machine always showed EXCELLENT signal strength (when you'd over the cursor over the little wireless icon in the systray) ....
For some unexplained reason (cause I'm dumb) I decided to purchase a new router, I got the Linksys WRT160N ..... well the machine with the wmp11 wouldn't even boot up any more, let alone communicate with the router. So I ordered a new wireless NIC for it, a wmp600N...which I installed and now at least that machine boots! The machine does connect to my network, and appears to run on the internet fine, however my question is now whenever you check that machines wireless status, it always says signal strengt is "Poor" or "Very Poor". I see now (I don't know why I didn't notice it before) that there is yet another wireless NIC for that router, and am now wondering if I bought the wrong nic card. I'm just wondering why my signal went from always showing EXCELLENT to now showing POOR all the time.
When I first ordered this router off the Linksys site, I remember distinctly specify "RANGE" as one of my requirements, yet when I received it from Linksys the box was clearly marked it was NOT for range.... so I am sorta confused.

I guess I am just concerned as there seems to be so many networks (routers) around here, there is always 7 or 8 connections available on the list of avail networks and I am just concerned about that one machine connecting to the wrong router when it is booted up ....
when I was using the wrt54g, and it always showed "Excellent" and the others always showed poor to very poor (1 or 2 bars) ,,,,,,,
but now with the new router always showing just one or two bars as well on that one machine .... I worry that it may connect to the wrong thing sometime. This wouldn't be such a worry for me IF there were simply an option to set "Connect to this network ONLY" on the nic,
but there isn't, just a "Connect to preffered network IF in range" ..........
Not that it matters here is the whole reason I have these machines and routers on a network is because I am severely disabled with M.S. and getting up and down steps to all my familys machines isn't so easy, and that one machine about 75 feet from me is impossible. So I have them all networked thru the router, and I use a remote control program (called Radmin) to access the various machines from this one laptop.
I am starting to wonder if the fact that nothing will work when this router is on 20mhz bandwith at all, is indicative of some sort of problem with the router itself? That is funny as the wrt54g was 20mhz only I beleive, and it worked perfectly!

Did I buy the wrong HDTV?

Hello,
Did I buy the wrong HTDV for my Mac mini media center?
My 2009 Mac mini is connected to a Panasonic 32" 720p HDTV via HDMI.
(I'm using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter)
Several issues have arisen:
1) black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I watch Netflix "watch instantly" movies on it.
2) The menubar of my Mac computer screen is not visible (image chopped off on all four sides).
3) The Mac mini cannot connect to the Internet via Airport when it's attached to the HDTV! (ethernet connection is A-OK)
I've tried playing around with the settings for both the Mac Mini (which recognizes the Panasonic) and the various menu options on the TV but no success.
Maybe I should have broke down and bought a 1080p instead?
Any help would be much-o appreciated!
Mike

Photoshop elements 13 bought online and downloaded but won't open on my new mac book pro--says windows based and not supported --Did I buy the wrong one?

I bought elements 13 online. I was able to download it but not open it. I looked for a mac version before I bought and did not see one. Did I buy the wrong version?

Amyrice did you purchase Photoshop Elements 13 from Adobe directly? If so then you may have a multi platform license. You can find your registered serial number under your account at http://www.adobe.com/. Additional details on how to locate your registered serial number can be found at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
If you need to download the installation files for Mac OS then you can download the trial from Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 | Adobe.

I just downloaded an app called "Logos for Adobe Illustrator thinking I would be able to design a logo? I can't even figure out hot to start a new project! Did I buy the wrong app?

Did I just waste $30 buying something called "Logos for Adobe Illustrator?" Do I need something else, some other program, to make it work?

Jill,
Presumably, you can create a new document, then File>Place one the templates, then edit it or whatever.
But maybe you should click the Logos for Adobe Illustrator® Support link here:
Mac App Store - Logos for Adobe Illustrator®
Whether it is a waste depends on the quality of the templates and the extent to which you wish to create your own one and only artwork.

WIRELESS NIC CARD for HP6126UK.

Hi I would like to know what WIRELESS NIC CARD for HP6126UK would be suitable, as i would like to connect to a wireless connection.

Hi:
The easiest thing to do is to purchase an external usb wireless adapter for your PC.
That way you don't have to be concerned with what will specifically work for your PC.
All external usb adapters should work.
Something like this:

Buying the wrong version of a song.

Buying the wrong version of a song. Is it final transaction? can this mistake be undone or better yet corrected?
There is this song called "gotas de lluvia" by a group "los diablos locos" which i found on youtube. I could have captured it & had a copy that way but i wanted to support this new & upcoming band. So i purchased the song however i was expecting a "salsa" version instead i got a "cumbia" version of it. I went back to itunes and looked over at the store info to see if i somehow over read or misread anything. However there is no way of telling one song version over the next, & itunes doesnt offer a way to sample the song before you purchase it. I cant seem to find any cusmomer care i can call to correct this problem instead i can only post this question and hope someone can respond with a solution. In the meantime i have lost faith in the current purchasing process of music and because i cant read or tell the difference between songs ill hate to buy two versions of the same song in order to find the one im looking for. Or worst buy the same song twice. Am i entitled for a refund or credit?
My friend says that is itunes' way of tricking customers to buying multiple songs, but i hate to think so sinicle. Can someone please tell me different?

No.
BTW, Your question has nothing to do with itunes U - the place where Universities, museums and colleges post educational material.

I do not have the ability to edit my .pdf once converted into a word document. Did I purchase the wrong version?

When I covert my pdf into a word document it does not allow me to edit the actual text. I can add random text to the document, not following the format of the document (not aligned, not the same font, etc.). I can add text, but I cannot what is already in a sentence or paragraph.
Did I purchase the wrong version?
Thanks,
Cindy.

Hi cindyjay,
You have the right tool for converting PDF files to Word. For starters, please try triple-clicking in the text block that you want to edit. If that doesn't work, we'll need to take a closer look at how the PDF that you converted was created (did it start out as a scanned document, for example). If it did start as a scanned document, it's important that OCR (optical character recognition) was performed during conversion to convert scanned text to editable text. OCR is on by default when you convert via the ExportPDF website, but can be turned off if you convert via Reader.
If triple-clicking doesn't work, let me know, and then we'll take a closer look at your file.
Best,
Sara

HT4009 I let a child use my iPod and she purchased a lot of doeses for idoser and I did not have the money on my card. Now I can't download anything at all without using a new credit card or paying for it. How do I cancel it

I let a child use my iPod and she purchased a lot of doeses for idoser and I did not have the money on my card. Now I can't download anything at all without using a new credit card or paying for it. How do I cancel it

First, to prevent this from happening again, turn off "In App purchases" in the Restrictions settings on your iPod. You may also want to turn off the ability to install apps, to prevent purchases in case the child gets hold of your iTunes Store account information, and set the password to be required immediately. For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
As to a refund, that's not automatic since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
They're usually pretty lenient in the case of inadvertent purchases by children. No guarantees, though, just as if your child was in a store and ate a bunch of food (in other words, something that can't just be returned).
Good luck.

Did you buy the Applecare for iPad?

Did you buy the applecare with your new iPad or planning to buy it? It says that for $99.99 CAN, it extends the warranty and technical support to 2 years. Plus it covers hardware damage but you have to pay extra $49.00 for service. I broke the glass from my iPhone before 1 day after I got it, Rogers told me that it will cost $400 for the repair, so I had to find a local person to repair it and it costs me $120.00 but I see some dusts trap inside it. Do you think for an extra $100, this is worthed?

There are two kinds of apple care.
Regular Apple care that has been for sale up to this last week and Apple Care +
Regular Apple Care
Can buy anytime in the first year's manufacturer's warranty
Applies only to manufacturer's defects, does NOT cover accidental damage
Any unauthorized repairs will void it
Apple Care +
Must be bought in the first 30 days after purchase
(may/may not apply to the iPad 3 only)
Covers up to 2 instances of accidental damage with a fee of $49 per incident
I presume that any unauthorized repairs will void it
What you got with yours was regular Apple Care, which infamously did not cover screen breakage. Most people were quoted repair prices starting at $269 and up depending on model. And really it wasn't as much a repair as it was you being allowed to purchase a refurbished device to replace your broken one with.
Apple Care Plus means that if you break your screen, you have up to 2 chances to only pay $49 for a replacement/Repair (no idea if they do the refurb swap or if they really fix it.....with the program in play only a week or so there's no real data available)
I personally got the regular Apple Care. Apple Care + didn't exist a few months ago. I hadn't originally bought it, but after my new iPad's 30 pin port corked it on me (best buy replaced it) I realized that there are certainly batches out there with manufacturer's defects in them and the $99 was a relatively cheap insurance policy against me getting another device with errors in it. (my theory.....some factories aren't as good as others or get batches of bad pieces and parts, so you end up with some out there with errors in them)
In your case, regular Apple Care wouldn't have helped you since it doesn't cover damage. however, Depending on how expensive the Care + is, if I had a new iPad I'd seriously consider it.

Wireless NIC Cards to use with MiFi 2200

Hello All,
I've had some issues using the Linksys Wireless-G NIC cards for wireless data access on Windows computers.
Does anyone know if there are recommended wireless card brands that work best with the MiFi 2200? Thanks for your assistance.

There are two kinds of RFID tags: Active tags, which have a battery or other internal power source, and passive tags, which have no power source and work by reflecting the energy from an RFID scanner (basically). At the energy levels and distances used for WiFi location detection, passive tags will not return a detectable signal.
Take a look at http://www.aeroscout.com/ for more info on WiFi RFID tagging.

Can i buy the ibook with credit card

can I buy the iBook with credit card

You should be able to buy an ibook from the ibookstore with your credit card. If you don't already have the card on your iTunes account then you should be able to add it if it's registered to exactly the same name and address as you have on your account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country - you can either add it by logging into your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) on your iPad.

So did I buy the gigabot model?

I just bought an AEBS. Model is MA073X/A Model No: A1143.
The very knowledgable guys at the Hurstville Apple Centre were clueless as to whether it is the gigabot model or not.
I've just arrived home and discovered that if I ordered online at the Apple Store I'd be buying the MB053X/A.
I am unable to connect up the AEBS right now to test.
So what exactly did I just buy. Can anyone help please!

Lucion, Welcome to the discussion area!
Sorry but the MA073LL/A only has 10/100 Mbps Ethernet.
The other model is the one with Gigabit Ethernet.
