Hi Everyone I have a tech question

I got my iphone on thursday and it breezed thru activation with no problems. I've made and received several calls with no problems on both ends. My question is this we have roadrunner wifi and i was wondering during activation my brother got a message from roadrunner saying there was an intrusion from our end since this happened during the iphone activation. but now everything is fine .Can I use the wifi connection from our roadrunner network ? My iphone finds the connection and asks for the wep password every so often and wants to use it . All the other times it uses edge just fine when i went to the Apple store they told me roadrunner is'nt compatible so is that true ? I would think any wifi would work? All replies welcome Overall i like the iphone and my family likes it too.

Hi,
I have an iPhone at home syncing on a 24" iMac with a wireless connection to an 'N' airport extreme. Hooked to 'N' is an old 'G' airport extreme that creates a separate network the iPhone can use. All of this is on a single roadrunner cable modem. The phone activated fine on the 'N' network and works just fine on the 'G" network. Once i gave the iPhone the WPA password for the 'G' network it connects as soon as i walk in the door. If everything works for you, i would ignore the roadrunner message.

New to IPhone and have a few Questions?

To start I want to say that I am a long time (25+ years) veteran of technology but am new the the IPhone. My IPhone is not Jailbroken and would like to keep it that way if I can. Allthgouh I did jailbrake it with blackra1n for about 30mins then I did a factory reload and let it be as it started acting stupid once I started installing apps from unofficial sources.;) Im a x86 nerd and NOT a MAC guy. I haven't sat down at a MAC/Apple in about 15/20 years.
I just got my first IPhone 3Gs/16GB. (Coming from a BlackBerry Curve 8310) the other day and although it is taking some time getting used to, I think I will like it more then I do once I get used to it.
Anyhow I have a few questions to start off with. I did some googleing already but just want to make sure I understand a few things.
All though I did the BlackRa1n jail break thing and installed a few apps then it locked up and failed to turn on or something so I did the whole reload from itunes and now its all good. Anyhow.....
1.) It appears as if one can not run a program from the home sreen and have it run in the background while doing other things? Take the many SIP Clients I have played with in the last 48 hours. Once I open the SIP Client and connect if I hit the physical button below the screen the program closes, thus the sip client no longer works. Pretty much most if not all apps iv installed from the App Store act like this. Is this the case? Does the IPhone not mutitask at all or verywell?
2.) Are there any SIP Clients that work over 3G? All the ones iv tried say they are for WIFI only. The SIP Clients work fine when on WIFI. It sounds like this is Apples way of controlling/monopolizing the voice/data/voip aspect of the platform/device. Im sure they would lose a lot of money if everyone did what I am trying to do.Just my opinion.
3.) Maybe I play with it to much but **** the battery dies fast. Is there anyway to optimize the battery at all other then for me not to use it as much?
4.) How can I remote lock it if I lose it or it gets stolen? I read somewhere this could be done.
5.) Are there any other Shells/HomeScreens/Themes that can replace the standard 4x4x4 row icons?
6.) The speaker phone (when on a call) seems kinda low even when turned all the way up. Is there any way to make it louder?
7.) I am using the built in VPN client to connect to my works PPTP Windows 2003 VPN server but the client randomly disconnects through out the day. Is there any way to have some type of keep alive set or are there any other VPN Clients that I can use?
Sorry for all this just thought I would ask for feedback.
Many thanks for any help anyone can provide,
SomeOneOnLine

1.) It appears as if one can not run a program from the home sreen and have it run in the background while doing other things? Does the IPhone not mutitask at all or verywell?
The iPhone SDK does not permit ANY 3rd party apps from running in the background or multitasking. It does provide for push notifications which can simulate certain background activity in terms of receiving external notifications while the app is actually closed. This works reasonably well with IM apps, news, sports, weather, travel updates and some peer-to-peer games.
2.) Are there any SIP Clients that work over 3G? All the ones iv tried say they are for WIFI only.
Just how would the SIP server connect to the cell carrier 3G network? Do you know of ANY that do??
3.) Maybe I play with it to much but **** the battery dies fast. Is there anyway to optimize the battery at all other then for me not to use it as much?
3G voice and data connections are culprits. Avoid email push and frequent fetching. See this Apple article for detailed suggestions.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
4.) How can I remote lock it if I lose it or it gets stolen? I read somewhere this could be done.
MobileMe Find My iPhone will locate, set a passcode lock and optionally wipe all data from your iPhone. You have to be a MobileMe subscriber.
5.) Are there any other Shells/HomeScreens/Themes that can replace the standard 4x4x4 row icons?
No. Apple does not permit this.
6.) The speaker phone (when on a call) seems kinda low even when turned all the way up. Is there any way to make it louder?
You can troubleshoot your iPhone as described in the User Guide - restart, reset, reset settings, restore. Or, get hearing aids
7.) I am using the built in VPN client to connect to my works PPTP Windows 2003 VPN server but the client randomly disconnects through out the day. Is there any way to have some type of keep alive set or are there any other VPN Clients that I can use?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can't install 9.2.1 or earlier on any Mac that is only Mac OS X bootable. In fact you need to use the restore disks which came with those Macs to install 9.2.2 on those Macs. 8.6 is only possible to install on Macs which came with 8.6 or earlier. The 9.1 disk may be useful for your 1999 PowerMac G4, but won't be of any use for a 2006 Powerbook G4.

Just bought a Mac Pro...I have SO many questions!

Ok, so I ordered a healthy version of the Mac Pro this morning. 250 GB HD, ATI x1900 card, 2 GB Ram, bluetooth/airport, 2.66GHz etc. Now I have a few questions since I want to know the tech side of things more clearly than I do.
1) RAID: I'm studying to become an editor, so I love Final Cut Pro and know it extremely well hence my Mac Pro purchase. Now, my question is about RAID drives. I'm buyin 2 320GB drives, I already own a 500 GB drive I'll put into the new computer and it comes with a 250 GB drive. Someone sent me to a wiki about RAIDs, but it wasn't clear to me at all. In layman's terms, what is it and what do I do to make it work?
My understanding is that it takes my 4 drives and makes them one big 1.4 terrabyte drive. Is this true? If so, when I just place them into the computer does it automatically do this? Or is it 4 separate drives until I do something about it? Does RAIDing make the drives faster? I also hear there are different numbers of RAIDs. Basically, given my situation, what would I do and how does it benefit me. Also, is there a different way of treating the computer if you have RAID drives?
2) I bought an ATI x1900 and it has 4 DVI ports, but the apple site says it's for 2 apple 30" displays. Since there are 4 ports, can I plug in 4 24" dell displays? (not that I have that many, but basically can I plug in 4 single DVI connector monitors into the 4 DVI spots)?
3) Is there RAM that works with it yet that Apple doesn't sell themselves?
4) I've heard there are Boot Camp driver issues. Couldn't you just install Windows XP Pro and just find all the drivers for the components online yourself? Would that work?
5) Would Win XP look at all 4 drives as a RAID drive or as 4 separate drives?
6) My shipment says 3-5 weeks, but some people already got their Mac Pro. Do they overshoot? Or are there just that many orders to fulfill now?
7) Can someone direct me to an affordable speaker system that has an optical input so I can use that feature on the Mac Pro?
8) Beyond the 4 internal drives, can you install an eSATA card and get even more drive space by using eSATA or is there a cap of memor?
I think that's all the questions I have. I am so grateful to anyone who reads over this and answers them. I know it's a lot of BS questions, but I'm trying to get the most out of my purchase and trying to understand more of the tech side of things so I can become a better editor. Thanks!

1. RAIDs
First, you normally should not include your startup system on a RAID because if the RAID goes down you cannot boot the system or repair the RAID easily. Better to use one drive for the operating system and RAID the other drives for data storage. You can easily create the RAID using the OS X Disk Utility application. Instructions will be found in the DU help.
2. Video
Not familiar with the card, but presumably if there are four ports you can connect four monitors.
3. Third-party RAM
Yes, but what's currently available does not meet Apple's specifications for use in the Mac Pro. However, you should see third-party product showing up very soon. OWC (www.macsales.com) has apparently gotten some inventory just today. Crucial and Kingston should have product also in a short time. You might also check www.datamem.com. They did not have inventory yet, but probably should in the near future.
4. Boot Camp and Parallels
This is correct. Apple is aware of the problem so you should see fixes coming soon. Parallels is also aware of the problem and believes they will have a fix for Parallels Desktop shortly.
You cannot run Windows without one of the above.
5. Would Win XP look at all 4 drives as a RAID drive or as 4 separate drives?
Don't know. Don't much use Windows. However, if the RAID is formatted Mac OS Extended then Windows cannot see the drive because it cannot read Mac formats without third-party software. As far as I'm aware you cannot create a RAID on the Mac using FAT32 formatted drives, nor would you want to.
6. My shipment says 3-5 weeks, but some people already got their Mac Pro.
No. If you placed a BTO order (other than the standard configuration) then your order takes longer. If you buy a standard configuration they ship ASAP.
7. Speakers.
Search Google.
8. eSata card.
Can't answer this question, I don't know.

Hi there everyone, I have purchased hundreds of movies and tv series over the last few years and can have not got enough space on my laptop so I have, put them all on to a WD 1 TB hard drive , I have just bought apple tv and am trying to stream my media f

Hi there everyone I have had to store my iTunes library on an external WD 1tb hard drive,
Problem is I've just bought apple tv and can't stream my iTunes library from my external hard drive, i have to keep copying what things I need to watch or listen to to iTunes and then stream it that way and it's very time consuming, please excuse my ignorance, but is there a way around this

As per the question, really...
"My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop"
There's no error messages
Only the films i've bought on my AppleTV appear on my AppleTV

Have 3 technical questions with QuickTime formats. Can you help?

Hi everyone,
I have 4 questions.
1)
If you were to rate the following file wrappers on a scale of 1 of 10 (10 offering the highest quality, 1 offering the lowest quality), what would you give the following file wrappers:
MPEG-1
MPEG-2
MPEG-4
MP4
.AVI
.MOV
.FLV
2)
Also, can you give a brief one sentence overview of how efficient each of the above file wrappers are. I've tried Wikipedia, but they don't really put it in laymans' terms.
3)
Which of the following file wrappers are lossy, and which are uncompressed???
MPEG-1
MPEG-2
.AVI
.MOV
MP4
MPEG-4
.FLV
4)
Is there an uncompressed file wrapper you can upload your video to?
Thanks,
rc444
please email me [email protected] as I need this information urgently for my school assignment.

Wrong methodology for your questions.
It's what's inside the wrappers (codecs) that determine file size and quality.
All of those file extension use some level of compression and all are lossy.
The real answer is another question. "What is the format of your source video"? A DV digital camera would come into the computer at 13 GB's per hour and this .dv file can be edited using many different applications.
When you use these .dv files there is no loss in quality from your source. But at 13 GB's per hour the file size make an impractical delivery dilemma. You're forced, in most cases, to export to a delivery media (DVD, Web based files or CD's) and then you much choose other codecs and wrappers.
So now you must ask other questions. "How will my files be viewed"? "How small must the file size be based on the delivery media"? "How much compression and what codecs should I use"?
What do you have and where is it going to be viewed?

I want to email everyone I have ever emailed to warn them about a spam message I received and *stoopidly* opened!

How do I email everyone I have ever emailed to warn them about a spam message I received and *stoopidly* opened! I don't want to add them separately to an email - there are hundreds. I would like to do it one foul swoop. Thanks in advance of any pears of wisdom x

You probably don't want to do this. At least not as described.
Think about it. You're talking of sending an email to every individual that you've ever emailed, every mailing list you've ever posted to, and more ... and to tell them, what? that you opened an email. Big deal.
I suspect that >95% of the people won't care. The rest will recognize it for what it was - a momentary lapse of judgement, for which you're now broadcasting to a wider audience.
Seriously, millions of people open spam messages every hour. Think of the mess that email would be if every opened spam message generated a few hundred "oops, I'm sorry, I opened a spam message" additional messages to everyone's contacts.
Unless you have specific reason to believe that they will somehow be affected by your opening of the email, you're just going to make yourself look even sillier.
If you do fear that your opening of this message is going to somehow affect them (in ways i can't imagine) then your first action is to determine a list of people that you want to notify (I'm sure "everyone" is not appropriate). You could write a script to extract the recipient of every message in your Sent folder (or, even better, every selected message, so you can pre-filter the list), but I still question its value.
The following AppleScript will extract a unique list of email addresses from the selected messages in Mail.app - select the messages, then run the script and you'll have a list of addresses. Again, I can't stress how much I think you shouldn't bother running this, but it demonstrates one option.
set recipientsList to {}
tell application "Mail"
set sel to get selection
repeat with msg in sel
repeat with recip in recipients of msg
set addr to address of recip
if addr is not in recipientsList then
copy addr to end of recipientsList
end if
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
return recipientsList

Tech question - 1000's of folders ???

Just a quick tech question.
Why does LR create 1000's of folders to hold the previews. One catalog has over 1600 folders, most of them empty. Between all my catalogs I have over 10,000 folders!
That really screws up searches on the hard drive, the backup takes a heck of a lot longer, etc. To say nothing about consuming large amounts of disk space just due to file/sector allocation.
There must be a reason for this... but what? After all, the previews don't even use the original file name, so it can't be for file name conflict resolution.

>Say what they may, I'm convinced that LR in all of it's V1.0 versions is a knee-jerk rushed reaction to the utterly sudden appearance of Apple's Aperture,
Simply untrue...Lightroom (AKA Shadowland) was started Dec 2002 (in my studio I might addthat's how I know for an absolute fact when it started) and Aperture was started in the Spring of 2003. I know that because the Apple marketing guy writing the marketing spec for what would end up being released as Aperture interviewed me (the only contact I had with Apple with regards to Aperture).
So, you can "think" what you want as long as you want, but if you want to be correct, you really should change what you think. The full story (minus some proprietary stuff and some other stuff to keep from embarrassing certain peoplesome of who are gone from Adobe) was written in
THE SHADOWLAND/LIGHTROOM DEVELOPMENT STORY.
>This is why I say that LR doesn't feel like a 'professionally' designed program... the front looks great, but you look behind the makeup and it looks really amateur.
Uh huh. . .and how many software product development project have you been on? Care to post your creds that would make your opinion relevant?
On the Mac, the entire Lightroom Database Previews.lrdata is a "Package" which contains the subfolders and the preview.noindex files. On Windows, there isn't a similar construct as a "Package" so the previews are tucked into subfolders inside the enclosing folder named Lightroom Previews.lrdata So, what's your problem with subfolder containing the preview.noindex files? Is it because YOU think it's messy? Why?
In my main Lightroom catalog (which has about 78,000 images in it) the Lightroom Database Previews.lrdata package is about 36 gigs...these are generated preview files that Lightroom uses to avoid having to re-render each file you look at. Where should all this data be saved? Why should you care, in the least HOW it's organized? It's organized in a manner that Lightroom needs to be able to access it.
If you want to suggest an alternative organizational structure, go right ahead. Suggest...but, without an alternative organizational structure, what would YOU suggest the Lightroom engineers do? What would YOU do?

I recently purchased the Apple Airport Extreme Base Station so that I can have wireless, my question is: so I need anything else so that my guests can have internet access via my router?

Hello Anyone and Everyone who can answer my question,
I would like to be able to offer wireless access to the internet for my guest's who use my apartment above my garage that is about 75 feet away from my house/computer. I have a MacBook Pro and have satellite internet service through an ehternet connection. I recently purchased an Apple Extreme Base Station with simultanious Dual-Band (MC34OLL/A), that is in the process of being shipped as I type, and am wondering if I need anything else to install in the apartment for the wireless to work with the Apple Extreme Base Station? Thank you for any help in this matter.
Sincerely,
Lizzy

In AirPort Utility, enable the guest network by selecting your Extreme, then the Edit button, then the Wireless tab, then check the box for "Enable Guest Network":
