Going wireless . . . what's involved?

I need some help understanding what's involved. My iMac G5 needs a wireless card installed. Should I go with an Airport base (?) or can I get by with a cheaper, non-Apple product? I don't plan on streaming iTunes throughout the house . . . at least not now . . . and I don't think I'll miss wireless printing. Plus, the budget it tight. Care to weigh in?
Next, I presently have DSL installed. An [I think] ethernet cable goes from my G5 to the box with lights on it that gets plugged into the phone jack. What--if any-part of that goes away if I go wireless--other than the ethernet cable?

An answer sure would have been nice . . .

    You likely first configured the AirPort Express to "extend a wireless network" using wireless only, correct?
    If yes, you cannot then connect the AirPort Express using Ethernet....that will crash your network.
    The Express must be configured to "create a wireless network".  AirPort Utility will do this for you automatically, but you will first need to perform a Factory Default Reset or Hard Reset on the AirPort Express and then start over with the configuration again.
    Connect the Ethernet cable to the Express before you open AirPort Utility. Post back if you need more tips on how to set this up.

  • What is involved in removing an image from a PDF document and inserting a new one?

    Our form producing process is very typical:
    (1) Start with a TIFF image, create a fresh PDF document.
    (2) By adding items such as links and interactive fields, convert the read-only document into an interactive form.
    Step (2) may take a lot of work, but fortunately when modifications are needed, it is always possible to edit the individual items. No need to redo the whole form from scratch.
    There are some cases, however, in which we have invested a substantial amount of work in Step (2), but we need to modify the underlying image, removing it and replacing it with a new one. We obviously don't want to destroy all the work done in (2).
    I envision the procedure as taking a rug from underneath a person and putting a new one.
    What is involved in doing that? Can that be done at the JavaScript level? Are there commercial packages that can do that? Is the Acrobart SDK required?

  • HT1414 using Windows 7 OS, I had downloaded the new ioS 6 and started the update on the iPhone 4 and everything was going routine until the phone had been going thought what I though

    I attempted to update my iPhone 4 from ioS 5 to ioS 6 from iTunes on my laptop using Windows 7 OS, I had downloaded the new ioS 6 and started the update on the iPhone 4 and everything seemed to be going routine until the phone had been going thought what I though was the update process, when an error window opened up and it said that an error had occured and the iPhone 4 could not be updated. I have never had a problem like this before and it caught me off guard and I did not note all the information in the error window, but it did not appear to indicate anything other than that I would have to abort the update and did not think it would be that big of a problem. I tried to disconnect the phone and was going to do the update at a different time when I could investigate what the problem was. However I could not get iTunes to recognize the iPhone 4 after this and still cannot. After rebooting the laptop a few times and also trying to reset the phone a few times as well, I just have a dead phone. The iPhone 4 just has the image of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon for iTunes. I have tried to get iTunes to recognize the iPhone, but cannot get it to. I am unable to do anything else with the phone. It seems like the phone is in a state where it does not have enough software loaded to do anything or I don’t know how to get it to. Any suggestions how I can get my iPhone 4 back into service. Note: iTunes still recognizes my iPad and iPods, so iTunes seems to be okay to me. Craig

    I had this problem on my iPod Touch 4g. Just press the home and sleep button. Wait and it will give an iTunes and cable logo. Now you can put in DFU mode (Hold Sleep and Home button 10 seconds and then release the power button kand keep pressing on the home button.) Now you will be able to restore it in iTunes.
    If you didn't sell it in al this time

  • Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is.  I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

    Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is.  I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

    I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

    I have an i Mac with airport wireless.What steps do I need to take to change name of wireless(airport)???

    You should use Airport Utility, in your Utilities folder (or you can search for it in Spotlight, the magnifying glass in the top right of your screen) to administer the Airport. There, you can change the wireless network settings, including the network name.

    I have been an Adobe customer since 1991 on an old IICi.  A while ago I purchased Creative suite 4.  I have Adobe Acrobat 4, ver. 9.5.5.  Are there any updates I can apply?  What is involved in updating if I want to avoid the cloud?  I have a satellite connection that charges for bandwidth usage.  I have a 27" iMac, using 10.10.3.

    Hi Kenneth ,
    We are sorry but you would not be able to update from Creative Suite 4 .The reason being there are no updates available for Acrobat version 9 .It is quite an older version so you are unfortunately not eligible for any updates or upgrade .
    The best option for you would be to opt for Acrobat DC .
    You could either for Acrobat DC subscription or perpetual version .Here is the link to download the same .

    You could also opt for Acrobat DC Creative Cloud subscription

  • What's involved in converting JPanel to JScrollPane?

    I've build my app and now I realised that I need scrolling functionality on my JPanel. What's involved in converting JPanel to JScrollPane ? Is this what I need to do or is there another way to do it ? I found couple of examples of JScrollPane on sun site but for some reason they don't work...

    no none of these works for me ... maybe I have something wrong in my code ?
    this is my code:
    public ApplicationFrame()
    final int DEFAULT_FRAME_WIDTH = 450;
    final int DEFAULT_FRAME_HIGHT = 450;
    setSize(DEFAULT_FRAME_WIDTH, DEFAULT_FRAME_HIGHT);
    Container contentPane = getContentPane();
    contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    //Init of top/help panel
              myHelpPanel = new HelpPanel();
              contentPane.add(myHelpPanel, "North");
              //init design area and add it to the container
              myDesignArea = new DesignCanvas(this);
              JScrollPane myScrollPane = new JScrollPane();
              myScrollPane.getViewport().add(myDesignArea);
              //drow canvas border.
              Border compound = BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(5,15,15,15), BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black));

              JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
              setJMenuBar(menuBar);
              //create menu item listener

  • While restoring my iPod Touch second generation computer is turned off the screen goes black what do I do?

    While restoring my iPod Touch second generation computer is turned off the screen goes black what do I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • What's involved with upgrading to Final Cut Express HD?

    I was just wondering what is involved with upgrading to High Definition. My current computer is a PowerBook G4 and I did not know if this would support the HD. What percentage of users are still using the regular and what percent have upgraded to HD.
    I figured that when I buy a new Mac I would upgrade the HD, but until that point I'd stick with the regular resolution. I would need to buy a new HD video camera too.
    Thanks for any thoughts!

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    FCE HD (3.0 and 3.5) is not only for HD editing, it's the new name for Final Cut Express since version 3.0, and you can edit in HDV or SD with the same product.
    HDV is pretty demanding on computer power, RAM and storage.
    Altough a G4 1,0 GHz meets the minimun requirements to do HDV, pay attention to video card itself. See spec section for FCE HD:
    "Macintosh computer with 500MHz or faster PowerPC G4 or G5 (550MHz for PowerBook G4) or Intel Core Duo
    512MB RAM
    Display with 1024-by-768 (or higher) resolution
    An AGP or PCI Express graphics card compatible with Quartz Extreme or an Intel GMA integrated graphics processor in MacBook or Mac mini
    Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later
    QuickTime 7.0.4 or later
    HDV features require 1GHz or faster processor and 1GB of RAM (2GB recommended)
    500MB disk space required for applications; additional 16GB of additional storage space for Soundtrack and LiveType content (can be installed on separate disks)
    DVD drive for software installation"
    A big monitor is also a good idea (kind of one to one pixel at displaying video:the 23" Apple cinema HD display 1920 X 1200 pixels or greater).
    Think about an external hard drive to store your captured media.
    In the camcorders line-up, it's better to choose a tape recording based one (no hard disk, nor DVD nor media card recorder), because FCE HD allows capture directly from a such camcorder (altough it's possible to download from other sources and convert your material to something that FCE can handles without rendering. A 3 CDD one is better (I own the fabulous FX-1). Many HDV camcorders allows down conversion directly from capturing process: so we can edit in SD format with the same material.
    Currently, HDV can be edited on FCE HD, but you will have to print to tape your edited HDV content to keep it in HDV format. You cannot burn HDV or blue-ray DVD ( aka high definition DVD) from iDVD 6 and watch it on a HD TV set.
    There are some HD DVD burners around the corner ($$$ to buy and blank DVDs are not cheap) but the choice of software is very limited.
    HDV is simply ashtoning to watch on HD tv set and it's the future.
    I think you can count on an instant 200$ rebate if you buy a new mac and FCE HD on apple store:
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=37C 4CB71&nclm=Moviedeal
    Good luck.
