Don't know how to setup wireless D-Link router
I just bought a D-Link Wireless Router WBR-1310.
It is running, connect throught Ethernet to a high speed modem,
two computers are connected to the router with Ethernet cables (iMac on Mac OS 10.5.6 - G4 on Mac OS 10.4.11).
I don't use it in wireless mode because I don't understand how to do it (the manual mentions nothing about mac computers I don't understand why).
I want to disconnect my Ethernet cables (except the one between the modem and the router)
and use just the wireless mode for the 2 macs. What do I do?
I turned on AirPort on the iMac, disconnected the Ethernet cable but nothing works
(I loose the connection to Internet). When I select Airport it gives me a list of satellite names
and what not. I don't get it.
Should be easy, what should I do exactly.
I'm afraid to play around with the settings since everything works fine now with cables.
Thanks

I don't want to detail all the steps re wireless set up but. 1.The scheme for a Mac is different only in the interface presentation and some minor features. You can certainly get it going on a Mac.
2. Get hold of a manual for a router that does describe a Mac set up, by download or otherwise and read it to get the general scheme.
3. Since it is running via the ethernet cable I assume you have the basic ADSL transmission parameters set so it is just a matter of the wireless signals to and from the device and encryption, and then setting the encryption passphrase up in each client card in the computers.
4. Note the default IP address of the router, and the default administration user name, and default admin password. These should be on the soleplate or in the literature.
5. Use a browser to browse to said IP address. just http:// then the number set , not www.
6. Enter admin username and password into pop up box. Do not worry about any 'certificate' warnings. It is a bit of hardware in your house you are going to not a dodgy site.
7. A website like page will come up. Go through the tabs to get to the one on Wireless and Security. Don't worry about opening pages. It usually needs a specific action to save any change.
8. You will need to set up probably the country of use,an SSID (station name) maybe stuff about the channel to use. The router will most likely pick suitable defaults for Canada etc if you bought it at home.
There is little good from not setting a station name or hiding it. Getting that is childs play for a Hacker. Not much use either restricting access to specific hardware (specified by the MAC codes of the device cards)
9. Choose to set up an 'Infrastructure 'network. That is one with security. Choose to set up WPA2 personal encryption. WEP is to easy to break. 'Enterprise' security needs a dedicated password server.
10. Now the passwording. The device both uses this as a password proper and then as an encryption key for the traffic. Some routers have a so called easy push button way of setting a password, WPS. My simple mind prefers the direct route After establishing the form of th security pick a passphrase to enter in the WPA2 passphrase box. I use a piece of poetry, stripped of all punctuation and spaces. Can contain non alphanumeric characters. Bfore entering it, write it down. Draw several parallel lines on paper then cut them with verticals number the boxes from 1 to 63. Then enter the passphrase to total 62 characters. More it wont work. Less is less secure. You can pad the end or start if your poetry does not quite fit.
11. At the completion of the page click to save it.
12. Now set the passphrase into the wireless sets on the computers. How will depend upon the OS used by the computer. Read the help.

Don't know how to configure wireless card for internet
hi i just move to a new place, and i do not know how to set up my mac for wireless connection. i was given the basic information for the internet to work, and it works for my pc but not on mac. i was given
Network Name (ESS-ID or SSID)
WEP Key Type (Encryption type)
WEP Key Format
WEP Key
where do i go to fill in these info for internet?
please teach me what i m missing for i m not familiar with network. thank u.Airport is what Apple's trade name is for 802.11 wireless. If you have wireless in the computer, you have Airport. To see if you have Airport, on your menu bar, go under the and choose "About This Mac." Click on "More Info." About midway down the list on the left, you'll see "Airport." Click on it. That will tell you whether you are wireless-capable or not.
If you do not have Airport, you will need to tether up to the router directly using an ethernet cable if you want internet access or else upgrade the computer with an Airport Extreme card.
If you do have Airport, on your menu bar, go under the and choose System Preferences > Network >Show: > Airport>. Click on Network. If "locked," click on the padlock (lower left corner) to authenticate. Once authenticated, click on Show: and choose Airport. Click on Advanced (lower right corner). Click on "+" below "Preferred Networks" window. Answer the questions that you are asked, which will cover those four items (SSID and WEP info).
(Texas Mac Man: that link points to a guide for the Airport Express stand-alone wireless access point using /Applications/Utilities/Airport Utility, not for how to configure your Mac's built-in Airport Extreme card via System Preferences > Network. I could be wrong but I think annie.ryu is wanting information to configure the computer's Airport/Airport Extreme card via Sys Prefs' Network panel) -
Don't know how to setup a simple VLAN on the RVS4000
I'm sure it is my lack of knowledge of networks, but even after reading the manual (!) I don't understand how I can set-up a simple VLAN on my new RVS4000.
On my good old DrayTek it's very easy: it shows me a matrix of check boxes and all I have to do is click the ones that correspond to ports that can 'see' eachother. Something like this:
Port 1 Port 2 Port 3 Port 4
VLAN 1 x x
VLAN 2 x x
VLAN 3 x x
VLAN 4
So port 1-3 can all 'see' port 4 (the Internet router) but they can't 'see' eachother.
Can anyone please show me the steps to take to accomplish this? Thanks a lot in advance!
PaulOK, I will use it as a bookstand...
Since I obviously don't know enough about networks I will stay away from 'professional' products like the Cisco products.
The user interface and the documentation of these products are clearly made by nerds for nerds...
Thanks for your help.

I don't know how to print wireless with my HP Photosmart C4795 printer
How do I print wireless? It says on the box it came in to just touch one button. Which Button?
I thank-you for your help in advance.
LindaThe easiest way to print wirelessly is to get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.
When you start this process, make sure the USB cable is NOT plugged into your printer. When the software asks, choose a Network (or Wireless) installation type. Plug in the USB cable only when it asks.
The one button method requires newer wireless routers and you still have to install the software, so the method above is overall more straightforward.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

I am running a mac mini lio server 10.7.3 Time capsule.
Most people are going to see that message as a result of not properly closing Firefox, and then attempting to reopen Firefox. This problem is most likely to occur on Windows Operating systems, less frequently on Linux and Mac systems but not unheard of on any system.
Because you are on a Mac, I am referring you directly to an article that has been reworded for each operating system.
: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application
To properly close Firefox on your Mac use "Firefox" button -> Quit Firefox, and not with the "X" in corner of window which simply closes the window and not necessarily Firefox.
When you get stuck as you have described you must Force Firefox to terminate as described at the end of the article:
Mac OS X
:Open Apple Menu and select "Force Quit". For Mac OS X 10.3 and later, you can also use the Activity Monitor found in your "Utilities" folder (Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor).

My MacBook Pro won't go beyond a white screen, after I pushed the restart button. How can I get it to a login? I have routinely backed it up, but don't know how to bring that up, nor if I have a boot file on that external disk. Help!
Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. -

Just purchased a Time Capsule. Had to call Comcast to disable the WIFI and have internet connection. The time capsule though blinks amber and the Airport Utility shows blinking amber light and has a red circle with the number 1 in it. After connecting, my computer tried doing a backup for the first time and it appeared that it was backing up and finished although I don't know how to check to make sure that it did backup. How do I check and shouldn't the light on the time capsule be blinking green and the airport utility show green?
TM will show it has done a backup.. Look at the info.. when was the backup completed??
If you want more details install the widget.
A1 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
The time capsule though blinks amber and the Airport Utility shows blinking amber light and has a red circle with the number 1 in it.
There is an error.. probably trivial.. firmware update, default password..
Open the airport utility and find out what the error is.
Simply click the TC and see status in the summary page.. it will list all the errors and what you should do.. fix or ignore them. ie this TC has an error.. default password.. I chose to ignore.. when I "fix" the problem the LED goes green.
Here is additional TC.. it is blinking amber with faults.
Click the fault. eg default password.
You can ignore or edit .. if you click edit it will take you to the full setup where you can change the settings.
I ignored my errors and now it is green.. -
whenI attempt to send a picture from iphoto by email, my newphews email address is in the place of mine and I can't send the picture without his password to Hotmail account. I don't know how this could have happened, but has occurred several times. How do I get him off my computer so I can proceed? The computer will not let me change his email address while in the iphoto picture window.
thanks

I'm sure that there is template that I can customize it without writing all the code from the begining, but I can't find it.
I'll be very happy if somebody can send me a link that contains a sample or template for main menu using CANVAS.
also, I'll be happy to get a web site that explains all the canvas subject step by step. with examples that I can run.Hello.
