How can I get a reliable airport connection on my Intel Mini?

I have an Intel mini and I connect it to the internet through airport. When it is working, it shows all the bars as dark, which I assume means I have a good signal. But some times it does not connect on startup, and can't be persuaded to connect with anything I have tried, using the network control panel or whatever. It just does not work. Some times it will work if I shut it down and start it up again, some times not. I also have a G3 Imac using a Hawking USB adapter on the same network, and it is solidly reliable, so that makes me think the problem is in the mini, not the router. It started doing this a few weeks ago, and the problem may have something to do with one of the many software upgrades, for all I know. This discussion thing is really difficult to use, so I hope I can find this question again, and maybe even a good answer.

How can I get Tiger to install (boot) on 2007 Intel Mini ?

{continued from deleted thread]
Just bought brand new MB138LLA (labeled mid-2007) last week ('full warranty", (allegedly) "dual bootable")
Was purchased solely to be able to dual boot - either in Tiger or Leopard
Supposedly this model is capable of booting in 10.4.10 - IF had (received) the correct install disk.
Came with 2 install disks for 10.5.4 (2008)
w/ 10.5.4 pre-installed (updated online to 10.5.7 as of 8/3/09)
Disk 1 is labeled
AHT version 3A152
Disk version 1.1
27691-6304-A
Disk 2 labeled
disk version 1.0
2Z691-6249-A
Neither will launch/load from C-Boot, but does appear after 'normal' boot
I do not see any copy/memtion of Tiger (10.4.10) in the optional installation folder
How can I install Tiger on this 2007-model machine?
Is there a ANY version of Tiger (10.4.10 I'm told) that I can get to install on this machine
(then update online later)
per
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411updateintel.html
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html

Just talked with Apple Support - AGAIN
Finally got some one who understood that this particular model WAS supposed to ship with 10.4.10 (as I had determined PRIOR to the selection/purchase). Not only are they sending a CPU (serial number) specific install set for 10.4.10 but volutarially included expedited shipping at no charge (I didn't ask, suppose their way of an apology for the past week of nightmares and BOGUS information). Now that's the Apple "Support" I recall from decades past.
SO, YES, I can (and will) boot from Tiger on this CPU - and can do so either from an Internal drive partition or from GTP format Firewire RAID array.
All those claiming that such a feat is an impossibly have not researched the specifics of this model thoroughly.
Problem solved (in theory, waiting on disks)

If possible, connect to your router with Ethernet and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

How can I get the hot spot connection to say working on my phone?

I cannot get my hot spot connection to stay working.

There are phone companies that do only allow tethering with more expensive rates. Would have to talk with your company to see if your phone can rate tethering.

How can I get Windows computers to connect to iPhone Personal Hotspot?

I've had two different Windows laptops connect for a short while but once it loses the connection, I can't get it back.

Hi
Try
Right click My Compute / Select - Manage / Select - Services and Applications / Double Click - Services.
You should see in this list your mobile device which maybe name "Apple Mobile Device" or "iPhone Mobile Device".
See what it says in "Status" column. If there is nothing in it, right click on it and click "Restart"
Open iTunes and it should be recognised
If the status shows as "Started" come back and we'll try something else
Thanks

How can I get two hard drives connected to the Airport Extreme. There's only 1 USB port.

I believe I want to use TWO USB Hard Drives with my Airport Extreme, but it seems there is only 1 USB port.
I am currently using that USB port for my backup external hard drive (works with Time Machine). But now I have decided I want a common hard drive for music, photos, etc. for the two Macs in my home to share. I read that you do that via the same port.
What should I do? Is there a way to use 2 hard drives - a common shared and one for time machine?
Please advise and thank you!

Use a (powered) USB hub.

I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is unreliable and not supported by Apple. See: Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk.

I can't get a reliable bluetooth connection betwee...

Hi everyone, I'm new here and already need help. I've recently bought a Nokia 206 and fitted it with a 16Gb micro SD, hoping to copy over some MP3 music files from my PC. I bought a Trust Bluetooth 3.0 USB dongle and installed it on my PC (running Windows 7 Professional). I'm new to Bluetooth so on a learning curve but I managed to get the phone recognised and installed as a device on the PC, paired it and successfully transferred one file but then it appeared to disconnect - at least it wouldn't transfer any more.
I tried various things including removing it from the Windows device list then I couldn't get it to re-recognise as a device. I eventually got around this by uninstalling and reinstalling the Trust software but again I only managed to transfer one file then it seemed to disconnect again.
In desperation I tried installing the Trust on my laptop running Vista Home Edition. Same problem again except this time it transferred two files before hanging.
I was also unable to transfer a test still photo that I took with the phone onto either computer.
On both computers the transfer rate was abysmally slow.
I was really hoping to be able to use the phone as an MP3 player as I previously had an ExpressMusic and that was great. It's a pity the 206 doesn't have a USB port because it's looking as if I'm not going to be able to use the Bluetooth connection.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Abi99,
The various paths you quoted seem to be a bit different on my 206.
I couldn't find anything in Menu >> Apps >> Gallery >> Images. This was <Empty>, but I found the SD card, named as NO NAME, and in there I found my test photo, stored under 'Images', and my two music files in 'Received files' so these did, in fact, all get stored in the card and not in the phone memory as I had previously thought. This obviously means the Bluetooth file transfer didn't fail due to insufficient memory as there is still 14.3GB free in the memory card.
To get to Camera I had to go via Menu >> Photos >> Camera. Under 'Settings' there isn't a 'Phone storage' but there is 'Photo storage' and that is set to 'Memory card', which confirms my finding above.
Whilst navigating the above I finally found out how to rename the SD card to something sensible.
I wish there was a manual available that would give the above information in more detail. The little booklet supplied with the phone is quite useless for any advanced functions and I can't find anything on the Nokia website.
I think I must have been using a form of Bluetooth File Explorer in the Trust software, as it allowed me to multiple-select the source files for transfer and I now know that it stored them in the SD card, but I can't confirm this or give you the information you requested regarding the software stack unless I re-install the Trust software. Since I haven't been able to make this work reliably on two different PCs and versions of Windows I'm naturally reluctant to try it again.
plepleple - Surely the SD card must be basically ok since I've found the transferred files on it.

How can I get a dial-up connection on the G4?

Hi,
This question is about a power mac G4 with a plate over the phone cord slot.
I picked this computer up used for my sister. It works great with my ethernet cable internet service, but my sister will have to use dial up. I'm trying to get it all ready before I give it to her. She's knows less about computers that I do, and I'm not that great.
So, I saw the modem/quicksilver thread below and did a search for others like it.
It seems that there's some way to get it working. Would someone help me with clear instructions. (I can follow instructions, and even do some original problem solving if I have a place to get started.) I don't have other computers to use parts from. Plus since the question was answered, I wasn't sure if anyone would see my questions if I put them there. I don't even know how to look inside the computer yet.
I have ordered updated software (Tiger, iLife 6) if that makes a difference.

Hi
the large green plate is the logic board. The largish perpendicular plate with the monitor port is the graphics card.
The silver box behind the phone port is the modem filter. You'd just have to remove the plate that prevents you inserting a phone connector. The black wire should emerge on the opposite side of the logic board and plug into the modem if it's present, just down from the hinge which connects the side panel to the computer. The modem card is much smaller than the graphics card and sits flat on the logic board (rather than perpendicular like the graphics card).
I guess an external modem is one option, so long as it's Mac compatible. In the past I've shyed away from them as being USB they need third party drivers (software) to work. There was a time when Apple would release an OS update and it would break existing drivers, so you'd have to wait for new ones to be released. In the case of a modem though, you wouldn't have internet access so you wouldn't be able to download the new ones if or when they became available. I guess the OS is more mature now though so perhaps it's less likely to happen and I see Apple even do their own USB modem these days for around $49 (from the online Apple store).
I hope this helps.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

How can I get my Bluetooth to connect? I took it to the apple store in San Francisco and got horrible service and my phone still doesn't work in regards to Bluetooth and glitches ? Please help

I am very disappointed, I can not connect my Bluetooth to any device (ie. beatpill) and I took it to the store they reset my phone and told me everythibg should work and it turns out that nothing works. Not only the Bluetooth but my phone glitches while in use (ie. It freezes, it'll reset randomly, and the apps freeze or won't close, whrn texting it will close out my messages) things of that nature. Please help because thus far no one else has and it has become a problem for me to use my phone.

What does the beat pill manual say on how to pair to iphone?
We have no issue connecting an iphone 4S/5/5S or 6 to it.

Hey ebe301,
Sorry to hear about your troubles with your PC. If you are not seeing your iPhone on your computer, then take a look at the link below to walk you through getting that working again.

Try this - Reset 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.
