Help, Stuck in Cornish Fishing Village with Mac Air 11.6 for two weeks!

Mac Air 11.6 1.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Running 10.6.8 2GB memory
Had to use my wifes PC to post this, yuk, as it connects via the Netgear DG834G wireless router with no issues, its pushing out WEP, PC seems to handle WEP easier, I have had this issue before, but unlike the last time, I do not have the option of changing the router to WPA, i am stuck with WEP for two weeks,
I have tried the $ and 0X tricks, they dont work, suerly there is a fix for this?
Can someone save me from two weeks of PC use, have a heart
Thanks Martin,
From Cornwall

Go into your network preferences and click on your Wi-Fi connection then click the turn off Wi-Fi button wait a few seconds then turn it back on, then click the advance button at the bottom of the window, when the window opens click on the TCP/IP tab, check to make sure you have a valid IP address if you don't then click the renew DHCP lease button. If you are still are having problems would it be possible to restart the router.

Most storage experts agree on the Hitachi 2.5"
Hitachi is the winner in hard drive reliability survey:
Hitachi manufacturers the safest and most reliable hard drives, according to the Storelab study.

Using the current version of photoshop CC with Mac OS 10.9 for the next 5 or so years on same mac?

I am intending to upgrade to photoshop CC from photoshop CS6, my concern is is my computer is 6 years old and probably I will not be able to upgrade to a later mac operating system as I have mac os 10.9, and I may not be able to upgrade to a future version of photoshop, will I be able to use the current version of photoshop CC with Mac OS 10.9 for the next 5 or so years on same mac?, I know I can do this with Photoshop CS6.

There's no reason why you can't do both. You will always have CS6 to fall back on if the need should ever arise, the same as most of the regular posters here. But you could enjoy CC for as long as it suited you, and it has some very features and more are coming all the time.
We've seen two nice updates to Photoshop CC in the eight months since the subscription model went live. (Have I got that right?) So we can expect three a year or more, and there were some killer new features in 14.2. Heck, it would already break my heart if I had to go back to CS6. In another four years... It ain't gonna happen.

I cant access control on syncing iphone with mac air to get contact via outlook to change on phone

I cant access control on syncing iphone with mac air to get contacts via outlook to change on phone. Worked fine on old itunes.

Hi Steve, Thanks for that. When I conect the phone it comes up with iphoto and starts to sync and then when that is finnished the itunes window shows my phone syncing at the top of the screen. The only button that says iphone which is on top right only asks if I want to eject and then disapears when sync finnishes. I can not see any other way of showing a side bar view and i can not access any way of controling the sycn service. It seems to be syncing calander but not my contacts. Have I missed something?

Have family plan with 250 data which I almost use each month. Going on vacation and will be on the road for two weeks. Should I up my data for a month then change back. Is it worth it or should I just run over and pay the extra 15 per gig?

Hello mlazaretti. Vacation time is awesome. (Especially a road trip!) Since you will be going out for two weeks, you never know if having extra data may come in handy. I highly recommend switching to the next tier up so this way you have more data. This way it is only $10.00 more versus $15.00, and you dont have to worry about overages. Then change back at the start of the next billing cycle.
If you need help making this change let us know! Have a safe trip!

After formatting iPod to NTFS and restoring back with iTunes, the player works for two-three weeks and crashes afterward. It then requests to restore it through iTunes.

After reformatting iPod to NTFS and restoring back with iTunes, the player works for two-three weeks and crashes afterward. It then requests to restore it through iTunes. When connected to iTunes, it sees it in the restore mode and also asks to restore the iPod. It happens over and over for the last months. What could be the problem?
iPod Classic 80Gig.
Thanks in advance.

Dear planb77
Thanks for a reply. iPod does not support ntfs - you're right. that means it will never work on that. While restoring ipod using iTunes, itunes reformats it no matter what filesystem is there. So the issue is not that. ipod is now on fat32 and it works for a certain period of time, but then crashes and asks to restore through itunes. Resetting/restarting does not help.

I have been editing project for two weeks and now I get ghosts of other images fromt eh project coming up in the wrong places even though the thumbnail looks right. Help.

Help. I have been editing a project for two weeks and now it gets ghosts of ohter images from the project coming up in the wrong places. The thumbnail has the correct image but the image either does not display and its black or an old image or another one shows.

When I have problems like this I do two things. First I shut down and restart iMovie. Sometimes that rejuggles the date. But I am sure you have been doing that in such a long project.
The Second thing I do is delete iMovie preferences, which can get corrupted.

Please help - unable to sign into iTunes for two weeks

Hi,
This is my last resort I've been through iTunes support and they referred me to this forum. For 2 weeks I've been unable to sign into iTunes. I cant do this on my MacBookPro (OSX 10.5.8) or my iPhone. It just hangs and then I get the error: 'We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection failed. There was an error in the iTunes Store, Please try again later'
I've re installed iTunes, had my password reset and have called my ISP and found out that there is nothing wrong with my network connection. I'm having no other problems with connecting to sites, sending emails etc, only with iTunes. And prior to two weeks ago I had no problem signing in. Please if anyone has any suggestions it would be great as apple seems to have given up on me.
Thanks very much!
Lisa

In System Prefs>Personal - check in the Security>Firewall tab and see what are your settings.

if you can not unlock your ipad, you need to plug it into itunes and do a restore.
If it will not ben able to restore you need to put it in dfu mode (holding down power and home for 10 seconds untill the screen goes completly blank) and then itunes will say it is in 'recovery'. Try that

For some reason, the last few apps I have tried to install, show just a faded app, with " waiting" underneath. I have pressed update but they have stayed the same for two weeks,

Why won,t my apps download? They just say " waiting" below them. I have updated but they seem stuck for two weeks now

Maybe .... One of these suggestions will work for you.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

Coming home for two weeks with unlocked 3GS. advice?

i bought my 3GS in taiwan unlocked and i've been using it with my carrier over here. i'll be coming home for two weeks and i was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to get a pay as you go plan for when i'm at home. i'll be in portland. any advice would be appreciated.
thanks a lot!

Not sure if there is a local/regional GSM carrier in that area but if not, the only other GSM carrier in the U.S. that comes anywhere close to AT&T in terms of network coverage is T-Mobile, and I don't believe T-Mobile's 3G network in the U.S. is compatible with the 3G and 3GS, so it would EDGE or slower for data access with T-Mobile.
You can get data access with a pay-as-you-go plan, but data access with AT&T's network via pay-as-you-go will be expensive. AT&T is the only official carrier for the iPhone in the U.S. at this time.

Need help Please. Which play nice with macs? Palm Treo's Or Tmobile MDA?

Hi all, I post on here from time to time, but hardly anyone ever answers my questions. Here's my dilema. I bought a Tmobile MDA over the weekend that runs microsoft windows mobile 5.0. And while playing with it have noticed some things about it that i think are'nt that good. For example, I like the fact that its a windows os, but think that it's flawed. I have done quite a bit of research but don't think that it's active sync software is even compatible with mac osx. so have'nt even tried to mess with it. now i'm still in the 14 day window and am thinking about returning it. but here's the thing....
I know that tmobile has EDGE, and it's considerably slower than verizon or sprints EVDO. (since i've researched it i know that edge is around the 70-170KBPS range when EVDO has 300-700KBPS) And tonight i was messing with this tmobile MDA and finally got it to work to connect to the net with it using bluetooth and it's "modem" ability to connect it to the web. But it S U C K S! i went to and did a bandwith test and i was only getting like 12.1-27.1kbps download (after running 2 tests) dude, it feels slower than dialup!
so with that bullet against it, comes the compatible part. I can't sycn this thing with my mac for NOTHING! do any of you out there have a palm treo? (either verizon, sprint, or att.... carrier X?) How does it sync with your mac? is it hard? any extra software i need to get/buy? have any of you used it to connect to the net? and if so, how's the speed? And here's an even bettter question... How long did it take to config it to work using the phone as a modem? Did you use bluetooth? or serial link? was it easy to config? Where did you find the instructions?
I know these are a lot of questions, but this is a large investment for me. I mean this thing ain't cheap and it does'nt really play nice. I don't mind paying a little extra, for some peace of mind, and knowing that it won't crash often and will work with my mac. Anyone out there got any other suggestions? I would really appreciate it. I would like your opinion on which one is the easiest to use that plays nice with a mac, and has a interface that's almost as nice. Thank you so much for your time. I will be following this post closely and comment you all back for your replys
Mac Book Pro 1.83 GHZ 512 Ram Mac OS X (10.4.5)

It really is a toss up cause Ive owned two Treo's and Ive read extensive reviews on Windows mobile devices and it seems to me like they're pretty similar in the way of hardware and software(minus the fact of using different operating systems). So I think the determining factor really ought to be more focused on how much you're willing to pay, and the level of support you get for each device. I recently got rid of my Treo 650 due to an interesting touchscreen problem and got a windows mobile device(should come tomorrow)
in the way of syncing with a mac:
The Treo is extremely simple to set up and use with a Mac(keep in mind Im not talking about the 700w/wx)in every aspect. Palm provides OSx compatible software(though its almost impossible to get rid of after installation). However, in my experience, Palm does not really do a good job in the customer service department. While they have a rather extensive support page for each device(some of the info is outdated), that's pretty much all you get unless you don't mind spending hrs scouring various forums. Talking to customer service is a joke. Like I said I had a problem with the touchscreen and the best the rep could give me was "try a hard reset" and "send it in for repair".
I have yet to experience what windows mobile will be like. At the very least with syncing, theres syncing software made by people who had OSx in mind(ie: Missing Sync or Pocketmac) who will probably be able to help out a lot more in this area and possible also be able to help out with the other issues you mentioned.
a good place to check out would be howardforums.com, you'll probably get better answers there.

I ible with Mac. need this for safari holiday. Please advice.

Calendar sharing issues with mac air

My associate is using mac air with daylite as a business platform. He also ownes a business that uses windows and his calender is thru outlook. The server they are using is 2004 windows server. He curently has his i phone and ipad synced with his outlook calander thru ical however for some reason he is unable to sync it to the same apps on his mac air. Any solutions out there?

Hi Raj,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your new MacBook Air is not connecting to your Wi-Fi network. I know it can be frustrating when a new computer isn't behaving as it should.
I recommend starting with the built in Wireless Diagnostics on the MacBook Air. This can help resolve the issue or isolate the symptom that may need a closer look.
You can find the steps to use Wireless Diagnostics here:
