Home from College

For college, I bought a new imac G5. My parents followed suit and replaced their old mac. At my dorm, I was obviously hooked up to the internet through the school, however, I am now home and i do not have the internet on my computer. My parent's computer is hooked up to the internet via an ethernet cable. I was wondering if I would be able to wirelessly connect to the internet through my parent's airport on my computer or if I would need to purchase a router to connect to the internet using their internet connection and the airport on my computer. Thanks
imac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi yuri.-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
Yes you can do that. This document explains how to do it via Airport.

I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer.

I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer. I have looked at the help sites and they seem to give directions to change files that people are saving in the future and not regarding past files. I am unable to change anything about the file including the name, so I can not change these past files from .m4v to something else which is deletable such as .mp4 etc. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting. A phone can only sync with one library at a time. You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced. To know which you will have to provide the information.
If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

Came home from class to find several prblems with my Macbook Pro

I want to start off by saying that over the weekend, I noticed that my light on my charger did not work any more, and it seems that the actual charger does not work any more either. It has been plugged in for a while but remains at 95%.
Then today, I come home from classes, and notice my computer is making alot noise. It sounded like the fans were working really hard and every 30 seconds or so it would beep. I tried to shut it off but it quickly froze and eventually just seemed to shut off, although it was still making the noises. I unplugged the computer right away, but the sounds continued. Then I noticed that the headphone jack was shining a bright red light. I tried turning it back on from that point but it would not respond. Only when I removed the battery did it quit making noises.
I put the battery back in and the noises started up again. I again tried to turn it on and the noises stopped and the computer started. It made sort of weird sound right when it turned on, but made the regular sound as Mac OSX was loading. I then noticed that my airport shortcut was not on the upper right. I opened internet connect and the option for "turn airport on" was darkened. I noticed the red light was still coming from the headphone jack, so I decided to check the sound. As I played music on iTunes, not a sound came from the speakers. I tried turning up the volume and I got the little symbol of the circle with a line through it came up (like on a no smoking sign). I plugged in my headphones and it worked, but when I unplugged them and plugged them back in, they did not work at all. There was a strange high pitched noise coming from under my keyboard at this point, so I quickly shut down the computer.
When I turned it back on, I found that my Airport now worked. I still have the red light coming from the headphone jack, and I still can't get any sound, but there is no more high-pitched noises. The light on my charger now seems to work most of the time, but often flashes off and then back on. My battery still says 95%. It will not calculate the time until the battery is full though.
So basically, I think that there must have been some freak accident that happened to my computer. All of these things seem unrelated, but it all happened at the same time. I really do not know much about computers - in fact I am not even sure what OS I have. I know I have Mac OS X, but I'm not sure which version. I got my Macbook Pro right after it came out and have downloaded all updates if that helps.
Any idea as to what happened to my computer? What should I do? I was hoping to be able to email apple customer support or something, but I cannot even find how to do that. My phone support has run out, but I do have the repair service still. This is exactly mid-semester for me and I really can't afford to lose my computer! I'm sorry for the long post, but I wanted to describe everything in detail so that I could get the best responses. Any feedback at all will be appreciated, because as I said, I really do not know much about computers. (In terms of parts, how they run, etc.)
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.0.x)

I might be able to explain a coupe of the symptoms you mention.
Firstly the 95% battery thing: this is expected. the way it works is that the charger does not keep plugging away when the battery is (effectively) fully charged. When the battery level drops below about 95% (say you it on battery for some time), then the charger will start working and try to take the battery back up to 100% again. However if you are between about 95% and 100%, then the charger will not work - hence the 'stable' display of 95%.
The red light from the headphone socket is the optical digital audio connection. The socket can operate with both the optical and the 'old fashioned' stereo headphone plugs. The light is needed for the optical, and the side connectors for the stereo plug. If your system is working well, then the preferences panel will show the options come and go as you plug in the various types of plugs.
I bought my MBP in May last year (shortly after they were released in Australia). If you bought the same thing as I did, then you should have OS X 10.4.8.
When 'strange' things suddenly start happening, it may well be a hardware problem UNLESS you have applied a software update or installed some software just prior. If neither of these have happened, it may well be prudent to have the unit looked at by you local hardware repair place.
Not really answering your basic questions, but I hope this helps.

It is entirely possible your college has decided to block certain websites. It's easy to do.

I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button. I have a wireless connection at home.

I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button. I have a wireless connection at home. Is this a known bug? What can I do?

You maybe running low on memory since you are using the original iPad with iOS 5.1.1 and the iPad is crashing. This may help and it certainly won't hurt.
Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Do this before you launch Safari again. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. You don't have to clear the history.

Okay, so somebody stole my Ipod, 4th generation, and it don't have IOS 7, it has IOS 6.1.4, and apparently I was tracking it with police officers this morning and when I get home from school (now, 4:26) it appears that it's offline and I can't see the location no more, so my question is... Can they still find out where is it located?

Your carrier might be able to locate it if it's on their network and they are ordered to do so by the police or the courts. It can't be tracked with Find My iPhone if it's offline.

- 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 another cable
- 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.

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.

Recieved 404 error after removing "home" from page hierarchy

I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0 and I beleive it is WebCenter SP5.
I am encountering a 404 page when I run an application after I try removing the entry for "home" from the page hierarchy. I also receive the error even if I undo the change in the pages.xml and restore home. I get this in brand new projects as well by following these steps:
-Create a new WebCenter Portal Framework application
-Open up pages.xml
-Delete the "home" entry
-Save
-Ctrl+z to undo the deletion of the entry
-Save
-Run
-Recieve 404 after index.html attempts to have the redirect to its default "./faces/wcnav_defaultSelection"
I am assuming some other files are being modified but I cannot figure out what is going on. I also cannot find any information on how the application determines where to go with the "wcnav_defaultSelection" redirect. Is anyone able to assist with this?

Hi,
May I suggest that you enable TRACE logging for oracle.webcenter.portalframework.sitestructure and see what the logs say?
Also, adding the home page back to page hierarchy (via drag-drop) does not throw the error. It's only when you perform an Undo that the error occurs.
On further analysis, on "Undo" the home page definition does not get back some of the attributes - the page_parent parameter and the permissions section.

Firefox crashes once daily, and I find it when I get home from work. Every day.

As the title says, Firefox crashes exactly once per day. I always find it when I come home from work, which can be anywhere from 8 to 10 PM. It is every single day, not just occasional. More specifically, the Firefox window is missing and all that remains is the generic "Visual C++ Runtime Library" crash box.
My system is a fairly new machine. I just built it earlier this year.
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 black edition (quad core overclocked from 3.2 to 4.1 GHz)
Motherboard: Asus M4A785-M
RAM: 3 GB DDR2
Video: Zotac GeForce 9800 GT
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (dual boot with Debian Lenny, but the crash is just in Windows)
I know the first thing that stands out there is that overclock, but it's unrelated. I suspected it causing an issue at first, so I ran it at stock specs for 3 days. It still crashed Firefox daily. I believe the system itself is quite stable, I never have problems with other software. My FF version is up to date, although it's been doing this for the past 3 or 4 releases. The only add-ons I have installed are DownloadHelper and Flash Player, but it still crashes if I disable them.
This one's got me kind of stumped. Does anybody have any clue what could be triggering this? It doesn't matter what tabs I have open either, in case anybody was wondering. One day, just to test that I closed Firefox before I left in the morning, then opened it back up with only one tab: google.com ....... still crashed by the time I got back home.

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
