G3 wireless networking (old operating system)

Hi
I want to get my old blue and white G3 to communicate with my PC based BT Broadband modem.
How can I do this wirelessly ?

Hi,
A USB wireless access point is what you need. This is probably the largest list of them I've ever seen.

I just had my old operating system reinstalled, and i can't save pages documents, don't know how to install word

i just had my old operating system reinstalled after a breakdown, and now i can't save pages documents. i don't know how to install word.

What was your old system?
What is your new System?
What version of Pages?
How did you install it?
I don't know if you can see what's on my screen, but I definitely can't see what's on yours.
To Install Word, buy it and follow the instructions.

I just bought a new MacBook Pro and it came with the old operating system, how do I upgrade it to the latest one without having to purchase it?

Hi,
Im a new Mac user. I currently just bought a new MacBook Pro. The first computer I got apparently had a problem with the flex, so I had to go change it for a new one. The first one had the latest operating system, the second one the store gave me didn't, yet it's still a brand new computer, so I don't see why I should have to pay for the new operating system, which should already come with my brand new computer. So I am trying to contact apple so they may give me permission to download it from the app store for free, due to this inconvenience and first bad experience. The vendor tells me that sometimes new computers may come with old operating systems because they're from an old batch of new computers. Oh and by the way, I'm from Honduras, and bought it at Jetstereo, in Tegucigalpa (the capital). This store is a licensed distributor.
Hope someone can help me,

Since your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.

5 days ago I bought a 13" MacBook Air from an apple store. It does not have Maverick on it! I paid full price for it, but since it has the old operating system I kind of feel like I bought a "clearance" item but payed full price for it! Does anyone have any advice, wisdom etc. This is my first Mac and I'm really bummed that it's not the latest and greatest. I know I can download maverick for free.....but are there other differences? Maybe something else that I thought I was getting but didn't? Thanks.

There is no difference, you didnt get "shorted" Mavericks is a FREE DOWNLOAD
Open the APP store and download Mavericks.
You didnt buy a "clearance" item, you just got an Air that was there at the shop before Mavericks was released.
There is no difference other than a 40 min. download.

HT5624 I don't want Icloud. I believe it drains the battery of my phone. How do I get the old operating system back on my new iphone 4G?

I just got a new upgrade iphone from a 3G to 4G. My son updated the software with Icloud. I do not like it, it drains my battery. How do I get the old operating system back (without icloud). Also, I don't know how to close an APP anymore and I think that could be draining my battery as well. It doesn't work the same way when I doubled click and then touch the APP it doesn't give me a dash to close it up again.

Apple does not support downgrading the iOS.
As for icloud, go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.
As for battery drain...
Look through this...
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/
Also, Settings>General>Background App Refresh: turn off apps you don't want refreshing data - this can preserve battery life.
Also try a reboot: press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.

What's the go with this latest update. Half my apps don't work and the iPad runs slower? How do I go back to the old operating system?

Make sure your apps are updated. You might try Settings > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads - Updates = "On".
You cannot go back to an old operating system.

Want old operating system back

I have an iPad 2., which I have loved. Caused me to switch over to all Apple products. I foolishly updated to iOS 8.0.2, and have encountered constant frustrations ever since. I tried to go back to iOS 7, but it is no longer available. From what I understand, I can pay to get this. Very frustrated with Apple. Why should I have to pay to fix a problem they created? Thinking so switching back to Android if this is the post Steve Jobs way of doing business. Any ideas on how to go back to old operating system withou having to pay for it?

Whoever told you you needed to pay to go back is mistaken. There is no supported way to roll back iOS updates. There never has been even if you pay.
If you are having issues with iOS 8 what have you attempted to try to fix them?
Try these basic troubleshooting steps if you haven't already:
1. Reset the iPad. Hold down the home and power/sleep buttons until the Apple Logo shows up.
If this does not solve the issues:
2. Reset Settings. Settings->General->Reset->Reset all Settings. The iPad Should reboot.
If this still does not fix the issues
3. Restore the iPad to Factory Condition. This should refresh the iOS installation and is known to clear out many bugs and glitches.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Apple Id's, Old Operating systems and an app that my partner can't live without

Hi,
I'll apologise in advance, I'm less than capable when it comes to technology but I'll explain my dilema to the best of my ability in the vain hope that one you guys or girls out there can come to my rescue.
•Bought my partner an iphone 3G second hand it was going cheap.
•'Assigned' it to one of my computers at work that had an unused itunes on it and created an apple id and password on it.
•Downloaded a few apps that I thought she may like.
•All fine.
Then.......
•Partner gets new laptop.
•Downloads itunes and creates second apple id for use with said iphone.
•Plugs in iphone, loses apps on it.
•Downloads favourite apps that she's just lost.
•Particular app that she wants and has become obsessed by which I wish I'd never introduced her to has been updated and now only works with ios 4.3.
So......
•I plug her phone back into the original computer with the first id which still has the app that works on 4.2.1 to reinstall it to her phone and for some bizarre reason I can't get it back onto her phone.
In short, I'm desperate for any help getting this app back onto her phone. Please someone help!
Thanks in advance,
Bert

I'm all cool with that, she's done that, its just that the app she's bought isn't compatable with her operating system. Is there any way I can get old of a legacy version, i've contacted the developer and unsurprisingly they didn't get back to me. Surely there must be a way to get the app that is compatable, that's on my works machine back onto her phone?

Hi,
All you need to do is reinstall your original Operating System using your set of Recovery Discs - the procedure is described in the HP document on the following link.

Setting up Wireless Network over Electrical System (powerline)

Hi, thanks for any help in advance. I have an older house that is not conducive to using the airport express units to extend the wireless network from my time capsule, which acts as my primary router. So I purchased a powerline bidge and extender that allows me to use the electrical system in my house as an ethernet bridge. This has worked marvelously, and I now attach a fj45 cable from the powerline product directly to a remote computer.
But the question I have is how do I extend the wireless network. This same powerline extender has multiple ethernet outputs, and I connected one of these to an airport express. I then set the airport express as another network, and gave it another name, and this works fine. The signal is much stronger versus just using the "extend my network" setup option, which I assume uses wifi to connect to the express. But now I have 2 wifi networks in the house, and want to add a few more extenders, and do not really want 4 different networks in the house. With an RJ45 cable attached, can I pick "extend my existing network" and have it not attach to this express wirelessly, and instead extend via the powerline product, which will be talking to the express via the electrical system and rj45?
Thanks again.

The signal is much stronger versus just using the "extend my network" setup option, which I assume uses wifi to connect to the express.
That is correct.
But now I have 2 wifi networks in the house, and want to add a few more extenders,...
On the AirPort Express that you have set up now with a different wireless network....make the following changes:
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons and adjust your settings to look like this:
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as your "main" wireless network
No check mark needed next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Radio Mode = No change needed
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Exact same security setting as your "main" router
Wireless Password = Exact same password as the "main" wireless network
Confirm Password
Click Update to save settings and allow 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart
Very important....power cycle the entire network by powering everything off, order is not important. Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself. Start the main router next the same way. Continue starting devices one at time the same way until everything is powered back up.
You now have a "roaming" network. You can "walk" your laptop from the area near the main router to the area near the Express and stay on the same network. Your laptop will automatically switch to the wireless access point with the stronger signal.
Configure other AirPort Express devices that you add exactly the same way....except that you would want to assign different Base Station device names to each Express to keep things straight.

New MacBook Air with old operating system.

Hi,
I just bought a new MacBook Air from an authorized dealer and I noticed that the operating system is the old OS X.. Isn't it too old to be offered on a new Mac? What am I missing here?

Apple gives their OS X versions big cat names, but they all fall under the OS X category. The names make it a little easier for the public to identify them. 10.5 was Leopard, 10.6 was Snow Leopard, 10.7 is Lion, and the recently announced Snow Leopard will be 10.8. Apple will also, from time to time, issue small updates within each version via Software Update. These updates will be tacked on at the end of the version number. The initial release of Lion was 10.7... it was then updated to 10.7.1, 10.7.2, and then 10.7.3.

Updating an old operating system

I can't update my iphone on my old macbook. I was told at the genius bar its because my operating system is too old, I have 10.5. How can I update my operating system?

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Other countries...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
