Help, I'm clueless, what do I need to get a wireless connection?

I've got an i-book G4 with an Airport Extreme card built in. I want to use my computer in another room. What do I need to buy? Any particular brand that works well with Macs? Do I need new software?
I really don't have a clue where to start!
Please help
Sarah

Sarah, Welcome to the discussion area!
Do you connect to the internet via an Ethernet broadband connection? If so you simply need any 802.11b or 802.11g compliant wireless base station.
You would connect your base station to your Ethernet broadband connection and then wirelessly connect with your iBook.

It certainly sounds like your harddrive is dying. I would Immediately backup your harddrive to an external USB or Firewire harddrive Before doing anything else. It just may save your data in time before you lose it all.
Hope this helps

My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get. I have and ipad and an iphone. I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc. Is there a way to do this? It was a vista pc and the new is win 7. I can grab the backup files, and music, but what about my apps? I do not want to sync on the new pc since the apps aren't there. Were are the app files located in itunes? Can I just copy them to the new computer?

You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

You need to code your web site to recognize the mobile browser and send a page that's actually usable when it does.

What do I need to create a wireless external hard drive?

Here's the situation. Hubs and I have just combined households. Between us we have a Macbook Pro laptop (10.5.8. mine), an HP laptop (his), a westell router from century link and 3 external firewire/usb hardrves, one of which serves as my time capsule. We also have a wireless printer.
One of the external harddrives has my tv shows and movies, downloaded from itunes, stored temporarily since my mac is out of space. We'd like to be able to access our external harddrives wirelessly, so that I can move my itunes library and media files to one and access them wirelessly, have my time capsule hooked up permenantly, and so he could access his moies/shows/music on his external hard drive wirelessly.
What do I need to create a wireless hookup for my external hard drives that is compatible with macs and pcs, and is relatively easy to do (neither of us are particularly tech savvy, but with the right instructions we can do okay)

That router you have is really not a router. It is a DSL modem that does have rudimentary router with one port.
What you really need to do is set the westel into Bridged Ethernet mode, that disables the router function in it, and get yourself a good router that has a USB port to connect a USB drive or printer to it. there may be models that have more then one USB port so you could connect multiple devices to the router.
It isn't hard making these changes but i won't go into it here. For that go to DSLReports.com and look up your ISP and then the FAQs for your ISP. More then likely someone has posted detailed instruction on how to do what I described above for your model Westel modem and your ISP.
Or follow Csound1's link to a wireless NAS (Network Attached Storage).
Good Luck.

Audacity 1.2.5 is an audio editor in which you can assemble and edit your recordings: it's free. I don't think it would burn CDs - you would have to reimport the finished recording into iTunes and burn from there.
Amadeus Lite is $24.99 in the Mac App Store and is in my opinion a better product: it can burn your audio CD directly.
If this is a one-off job you might as well use Audacity: if you are planning on doing this sort of thing at all often you would probably be better off either with Amadeus Lite or Amadeus Pro ($59.99) though this latter may well be over-specified for you as it includes multi-track editing.

What do i need to get IOS5 if im running 10.5.8, do i need many upgrades?

What iOS device do you have? You need one capable of running iOS5 plus the latest version of iTunes.
If you want iCloud you'll need Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion plus a Mac capable of running that.

I would think Airport Express would do the job (this is UK store site but it should be available wherever you are):
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC414B/A/airport-express
It has an audio output socket and air play will stream music from your mac to the device wirelessly. If you want to listen to the radio will need to do so via iTunes or use a program such as Airfoil (free):

Help! No idea what products we need...

Ok, I've got an online IP forum which also sells forum based workshops. We are now including video in our online workshops and would like to find a solution to embed the videos in those areas to the forum where the user has paid for access.
We would also like to display 'how to' type videos where anyone can see in forum posts.
We would like it to have the option to expand into full screen.
None of these videos are 'live' so they are all prerecorded. I'm also thinking that it would be nice to 'host' the videos elsewhere if possible as they likely take up alot of space. We have machighway hosting which isn't a huge amount of space and they state that they don't allow 'quicktime streaming' which makes me wonder if they will block us from any other type of streaming.
I was directed to adobes server products but I am completely lost at what I would need or what they are even. I'd like a really simple plug/play solution in a perfect world but the more I look around the less likely this seems possible
Thanks for any help or insight!

Designing a client side requirement like full screen video, video embedding all sort of things are not part of FMS. Though a good webdesigner or flash expert can do all this for you..
FMS solves other part of your problem, for example pre-recorded video streaming. You may either use RTMP (stick to flash player as client) or HTTP ( can be used for viweing on iOS, Flash based devices)..
I recommend you first try the developer edition of the FMS to get the feel how it can streaming your videos on RTMP or HTTP.. This is free edition with some restricted access on number of clients or viewing time.. Just video streaming will work out of box for you..
1. Jjust install FMS.
2. Keep you videos inside Applications/vod/media for RTMP or webroot/vod for HTTP
3. You may use the video player that comes with FMS (within sample/videoplayer) to play these videos..
You may then think of developing some client application/website like sample video player which can play your videos..

So, what do I need to get started?

This is my first post, so please be gentle.
So I want to go wireless with my broadband and iTunes.
What do I need? Is it just, AirPort Express Base Station with AirTunes or do I need a base station or both?
Thanks for the help.
PS: I'm loving my 5 month old iMac G5, it rocks!

ddon_uk,
Welcome to discussions.
I guess "So I want to go wireless with my broadband and iTunes" means that you want to play your iTunes music library onto the stereo system, possibly in another room. Airport Express does this for you.
But we can't help you with any other decisions on kit without just a little more info.
How many computers do you wish to have the ability to play iTunes over the speakers ?
Will all these computers have an Airport card installed (not essential) ?
How far is it from the computers to the proposed location of the Airport Express ?
Are you ADSL or Cable broadband ?
Do you have any other networking kit (including that supplied by the ISP) ? Or any PC's / XBox's / PSP's / etc that you wish to connect to the broadband ? by Ethernet ? Or wireless ?
So many questions and I can't promise that there won't be more. But we will get whatever you want working.

What do you need to get video output to external monitor

Hello,
I'm fairly new to Color and have read a few posts that color can't be viewed by firewire to an external monitor. Basically what I have right now for external viewing in FCP is a JVC SR-VS30 Mini DV NTSC deck with firewire connected to my computer. From the deck it goes to a small TV set and a Sony Trinitron PVM color video monitor. What do I need extra to be able to see my color correction in Color on an external monitor. BTW in Color currently the Video Output tab in Setup>User Prefs is grayed out showing Disabled. I suppose that when I get whatever I need to see Color on an external monitor that this tab would NOT be grayed out or would I have to set some other settings.
Thanks.

Well, you can waste a lot of time and money trying to get your old iron up to speed but the sad fact is, even though it may work with Color, it will most likely end in a less than satisfactory experience all around. You need to determine if your G5 has PCI, PCI-x or PCIe slots and then purchase the appropriate cards.
However, Final Cut Studio 2 is optimized for the Intel processors. You will see users here and there using the newest models G5 with great success but quite honestly, you need a Mac Pro.
Or just purchase the Aja IO/HD which is a firewire 800 interface and the only firewire device that will preview externally Color.
