How can I make my interntet wireless while keeping my desktop connected?

I just got my Macbook Pro and I love it! One problem... I got airport extreme with it and I don't know how I can keep my PC desktop connected to the internet (no wireless) while having my Macbook wireless? Everyone at the Apple store just said to plug my computer in to the airport express.... What plug? I have broadband and am using an ethernet cable.... PLEASE HELP! THanks!
MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

I do have airport extreme ^^. When i plug the ethernet from the computer to the aiport base it doesnt work because its not connect to the broadband... how can i fix this?
Apple's AirPort terminology can be a bit confusing as Apple uses the term AirPort Extreme for both their wireless cards and base stations. If you take a look at the following reference, you can confirm which AirPort you actually have. (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107908) If your AirPort Base Station has only one Ethernet port AND it's not shaped like a "flying saucer," then most likely, it is the AirPort Express Base Station (AX).

    How can I make a "Keyboard Lock" while iTunes or other apps are playing? They should work/play on, screen should still be on, only keyboard is (maybe Password-) locked.
    Thanx in adv, tttimo

    Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts Application Shortcuts > + > Application: Browse to Pages > Menu Title: Footnote > Keyboard Shortcut: hit combination of keys > Add
    You will need to restart Pages but should then see it next to your Menu item.

  • How can I make a window show up in every desktop?

    How can I make a window show up in every desktop so when a user switches views it's still on their screen, using Xcode, Applescript-ObjC?

    hi, try this:
    public static void centerWindow(Window win){
    Dimension screenSizeWithSpeedBar = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
    Dimension screenSize = new Dimension(screenSizeWithSpeedBar.width,screenSizeWithSpeedBar.height-25);
    Dimension frameSize = win.getSize();
    if (frameSize.height > screenSize.height)
    frameSize.height = screenSize.height;
    if (frameSize.width > screenSize.width)
    frameSize.width = screenSize.width;
    win.setSize(frameSize);
    win.setLocation((screenSize.width - frameSize.width) / 2, (screenSize.height - frameSize.height) / 2);
    It works with following arguments: JWindow, JFrame and JDialog

  • How can I make a window transparent but keep its objects opaque in Cocoa-Applescript?

    How can I do this in Cocoa-Applescript, Xcode? As well, is it possible to blur the area behind where the transparent window is?

    You can set the window transparency with something like:
    theWindow's setBackgroundColor:(current application's NSColor's clearColor)
    theWindow's setOpaque:false
    I haven't seen a way using public APIs to blur behind the window, but I'm not sure about using ASObjC with stuff like Core Image, anyway.
    You might also try something like setting the background to a gray color and play with the grayscale and alpha values (colorWithCalibratedWhite:0.0 alpha:0.2, for example).

  • How can I turn off the screen while keeping the mac awake?

    I am using teamviewer to remote connect to my office Imac from home. However, every time I connected, my imac screen will turn on and everyone else in the office can see what my imac is doing..
    Is there some method to turn off the screen while keeping the mac awake, so I can remote connect to it?
    PS: I am using OSX 10.7.3

    Energy Saver, you can keep the computer awake while the screen saver shuts the monitor off but I'm not sure that would do it for you.

  • How can i make my powerbook wokring, while closed?

    Hello,
    is there a way to close the powerbook and it is still working? i.e. i-tunes keeps running etc... So that it doesn't start sleeping in the moment i close it?
    Help, please!

    Hi again, Wibke.
    Yes, I understand that — but, from looking at Apple's KnowledgeBase, those were the only answers I found that seemed relevant. Close, but no cigar. Sorry.
    My first thought was to set the System Preferences »» Energy Saver Sleep slider selections to "Never" — but I'm sure that's ~trivial and something you tried.
    So I just did a quick search for [ sleep (lid OR cover) ] in the PowerBook forums. Lots of results. Perhaps some are helpful?
    Many folks who've posted seem to think that having at least one of: mouse, keyboard, monitor attached is required.  But see whether Mr. Lizard's post here works for you.
    Sorry, I don't have a PowerBook to test possibilities. If this doesn't help, I'd think that your initiating a new thread in the appropriate PowerBook forum would be most helpful.
    Regards,
    Dean

  • My ipad2 does connects to 3G even though ther is available wifi. How can I make it prioritize wifi?, My ipad2 does connects to 3G even though ther is available wifi. How can I make it prioritize wifi?

    My ipad2 connects to 3G even though there is available wifi. it finds the network but loses it in seconds and turns again to 3G. I've tried resetting network settings, rebooting iPad etc with no luck
    Thanks

    If you are not using data and the iPhone goes to sleep, it will automatically drop the wi-fi, and will not reconnect until you wake the phone up. That is the way it is designed. The only way around that is to turn off cellular data while at home and on wi-fi.
    Cannot answer the xbox question since this is an iPhone forum and I would have no idea.

  • How can I make the icons I place on my desktop from web pages not have the Firefox icon. I want the program's icon.

    When I slide the icon, with web address, over to the desktop I want the shortcut icon to be the Web site's icon not the Firefox flaming globe.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.
    If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).
    You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".

  • How can i change my icload email while keeping account,its FULL of spam

    Hi,
    My email/iCload account gets at least 30 vulgar spam emails daily that try to link you directly to **** sites. I have to consistently delete these emails as they arrive in my inbox (not spam file). It worries me that my kids could accidentally come across these emails by accident.
    As I have not managed to stop the emails arriving in my inbox, I would like to know if its possible to setup a new icload email to replace the old one. My actual email used for my iTunes purchases etc is my gmail not icload...but I found that the icload email needs to be set in my devices for icload to function, otherwise anything stored in the cloud disappears.
    Thanks!

    Ah, isn't there a way to add a second eMail to iCloud?
