How can two networks from the same router be showing up at once?

Very confused here.   I hooked up the linksys wrt54g and obviously it showed up as an available network.  It is hard wired into one computer.  
I then (on an unwired computer) went into the router to rename the network and reset the password.  
Now, when I check for available networks, both are present (linksys and the renamed one)?  How can this be?
Also, the linksys network has five bars connectivity and the new one I renamed only has two.  How is that possible?
Thanks

1. Always configure your router from a wired connection. Never through a wireless connection. The wired connection is the only reliable way to be sure your configure your router and not a different one.
2. Vista and Windows 7 allow you to name a wireless connection different then the "SSID" used on the router. It also allows you to set up two wireless connections using the same SSID. Clean up the list of preferred networks on your computer. That should take care of this.

  • HT5177 How can two people edit the same FCPX file? One company, so both people/computers share the same license. Example: I work on revision A and my boss takes it and makes revision B and gives it back to me using two separate computers.

    Have the project, events and media on one drive which is common to both macs.
    You can download FCP X to both macs using the same Apple ID that it was purchased with.

  • How can two pictures of the same size still appear to be a different size? (Photoshop CS6 problem)

    I called the big webdesign file "(X)" and the image I wanted to paste in it "(Y)",
    so that you won't be confused when you read it.
    What Happened
    For the design of a webpage, I made a photoshop-file(X) with a lot of squares(X). These squares(X) had the size 9,42×9,42 centimeters.
    I measured the squares(X) carefully and also made sure the size was in centimeters, so I am sure that the size was 9,42×9,42 cm.
    My plan was to fill the squares(X) with pictures(Y). I had a map on my computer with a lot of square-sized JPG-images(Y) in it. All I had
    to do was open the pictures(Y) in photoshop, change the size into 9,42×9,42 centimeters and copy+paste them into the squares(X)
    of the webdesign. I did this before and it worked perfectly.
    But then, I opened one of the images(Y) and when I wanted to resize it, the resize-tool said it was only 3,25×3,25 centimeters big.
    I thought it was strange, so I copied+pasted it into the design-file(X) with all the squares(X) that needed to be filled. Allthough photoshop
    had told me that the squares(X) in the file were 9,42×9,42 centimeters big and the image(Y) I resized was 3,25×3,25, the "small" image(Y)
    turned out to be bigger then the squares(X). And when I resized the "small" image(Y) into 9,42×9,42 centimeters, it was even bigger
    than it was before. How can this be, and how can I still make the images(X&Y) the same size?
    What I already tried
    - I made the file of the webdesign(X) with all the squares(X) into one layer, copied the file(X) and opened a new file(X) with the same
    measurements of the old file(X). I also changed the resolution of the file(X) into pixels/centimeters instead of pixels/inches.
    Then I pasted the image(X) of the old file into the new file. I didn't work; the image(X) that I pasted in the new file was bigger and
    when I pasted the other picture(Y) in this image, the same problem was still there.
    - I also opened the picture(Y) in photoshop, made a screenshot of it and then pasted the screenshot into paint. With paint I cropped
    it again and saved it as a JPEG-file. After that, I opened the image (Y) in photoshop again. It now had the size of 11,27×11,27 centimeters.
    Then I resized the image(Y) into 9,42×9,42 cm, but it still wasn't as big as the squares(X).
    Could you help me please?
    I really don't understand why this problem is happening and I can't think of a solution because I am still quite unexperienced with photoshop
    and I also couldn't find the answer on the internet. I assume the solution is very simple, but I haven't found it yet allthough I have to finish this
    project soon and I also have to use the image(Y). So any help would be very appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Simone

    You need to understand the basic of a digital image.
    Image is recorded as pixels and image is a rectangle so many pixels wide and so many pixel high.   Pixels do not have a fixed size. The images resolution setting defines the image current pixel size.
    So for example if you have and image that is 300 pixel wide and 200 pixels high and set its dip resolution to 100DPI the image size is 3" wide and 2" high.  Set its dip setting tp 300DPI the image size becomes 1" wide by 2/3" high.  Both the 3" x 2" and the 1"x2/3" images have the same 60000 RGB Colored Pixels.
    Web pages are sized to to be so many pixel wide and so many pixel high.  Often the height is not enforced scrolling is used when viewing. 
    However image for web pages often must not exceed so many pixel wide and high for displays have a fixed resolution and a fixed number of Pixels. You want images to fit on users displays.  Users use different displays some have high resolution displays and other have low resolution displays with far fewer pixels then high resolution displays.
    Web Image are normally image that have been interpolated down in number of pixels a resampled large image so that web image will fit on a low resolution  display with limited number of pixels. The image size the user see depend on the display they are currently using. A low resolution display's image will be much larger then the same image displayed on a nexus 10 with a 300dip display. Cheep low cost Desktop LCD have a 84DIP resolution, large high cost desktop displays are not be much higher in resolution somewhere near 108DPI.   Tablets, Laptop and Phones can have much higher resolution like the nexus 10 300DPI IPS display

  • How can two people edit the same InDesign CC document?

    I am looking for a desktop publishing application that I can use to create programs for a high school choir and am experimenting with InDesign CC.  I'll do most of the work creating the progam, but the choir teacher at the last moment will have changes for me or will do them herself.  Either way she will be producing the final copy for printing.
    In an ideal world we would be able to edit the same file at the same time, me from my office and her from her classroom, not on a shared network, much like Google Docs.
    Does InDesign CC have this capability?  What steps would I use to approach this problem using InDesign CC?

    You can look into InCopy for text changes and put the InDesign file in a
    dropbox folder.

  • How can two users share the same iTunes library in 10.7

    I am running Lion 10.7 and there are two users on the iMac.
    I would like full read/write access to our share music from either user account.
    Currently I have the iTunes Media folder in users/shared and on my account it looks like a regular iTunes and in my preferences I have ticked the 'share' box, but on my wifes account she can see the shared library but the only view available is a simple list.

    Try putting it on a removable drive, like a flash drive.

  • Does having two networks on the same router cut the speed of each network?

    I have successfully been using a FiOS and Time Capsule network for over two years. When I had it installed the FiOS service man set up a network without the Apple Time Capsule. I later set up an additional network that included the Time Capsule. My first question is, does that mean I have cut the speed potential in half? If so, can I safely delete the unsused network?

  • What can I expect of my 4s with wifi  connectivity. My 4s receive a signal from the same router I have always used. My 3G would pick up a signal throughout the house, and my 4s won't allow me out of the room. Is my new phone defective or just inferior.

    As many times as you want till you delete or modify it.

    I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly.  How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

    I could not find an option to "report a problem".
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

    Wow.
    Over react much?
    Check your purchase history.  See if it actually charged you twice.
    If it did then contact itunes support for a refund.
    No need be so over dramatic.

    Can two players use the same game app on the same device without erasing each other's scores?  My two sons build up their characters and progress in their games, then the other one wants to play, erasing the first son's progress.
    Is it possible to create two player identities in the Game Center? 
    Is it possible to have two different Apple User ID accounts on the same device?  Is that even desirable?
    Many thanks!

    You can create as many individual user accounts on a Mac as you like. Then, any one or more of those users can remotely log in from another Mac and use that Mac as their own, simultaneously. Each account will remain separate from all others.
    However, since each user needs to have a Mac to do that, I'm not sure how you could effectively double the number of users as you describe.
