  • Airport Express 802.11n only 2.4GHZ setting

    I'm bit puzzled..I just configured my Airport Express with 802.11n only 2.4GHZ -setting and another Airport Express to extend the network, yet my old MacMini is still able to use the new setup WiFi connection even tough it only supports only 802.11a/b/g.
    Could it be that the 2nd AE actually extends the network with 802.11a/b/g/n support? Other possibility is that 802.11n only 2.4GHZ -setting is not really taken as config by the main AE despite Airport Utility shows it as such.
    Ideas ? Comments ?

    Addtional info both AE's now have ver 7.5.2 installed, prior it was 7.6 and situation is still the same.

    I have IMac OSX 10.9.4, 4GB,Processor 3.06 with Intell2Duo. I would like to check for Malware. I run a TechTool Pro 6 every month and that comes up great.
    When check how much memory I am using, with only Safari open I am using 3.9 and more of her 4.0 memory. She is very. very slow in processing. I had 4000
    trash to clean out and it took her over an hour to expel. Also for some reason Safari will not allow me to click on a link, in my G-mail, and let it go to the page.
    It has a sign saying a pop-up blocker is on and will not let me do it. I must open the stamp to look at my e-mails and if I have redirected link now I can do it.
    I have not changed my preferences so where is this pop-up blocker?
    I have looked at preferences on Safari and Google, which I do not understand Google, and do not see where this blocker could be.
    Malware is something I want to make sure is not on my computer. Tech Tool Pro 6 is all I know of and it does not detect Malware.

  • Photoshop-When opening image without tab view, image opens with only a portion in view

    I having an issue with CC.
    When electing in the preferences to not open image in Tabs. The images open with only about 25% of the image area showing. Forcing me to (command) 0 for full to screen preview or (command) +/- to see the image.
    I am not talking about seeing the image at 100% resolution just the entire image within the floating window without having to command before view.
    Sidenote: Adobe Customer Service is all based in India. I spent 4 hours on the phone only to hear that this is that way photoshop works.
    There would be no logical explanation for this. Since the first version of Photoshop this has not been the case.
    I think this should be called view porn with wife in the room mode. Other than that I see no point.
    Can anyone help?

    AMAZING PLAN TO BECOME RICH IN DAYS
    AMAZING PLAN TO BECOME RICH!! HOW TO BECOME
    RICH HOW TO TURN 50 DOLLARS INTO MILLIONS
    OF DOLLARS:
    READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT DOES
    WORK!
    I found this on a bulletin board and decided
    to try it. A little while back, I was
    browsing through newsgroups,
    just like you are now, and came across an
    article similar to this that said you could make hundreds of thousands
    of dollars within weeks (which would soon
    turn into millions) with only an initial
    investment of $50.00! So I thought,
    "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like
    most of us, I was curious, so I kept
    reading. Anyway, it said that you
    send $10.00 to each of the 5 names and
    address stated in the article. You then
    place your own name and address in the
    bottom of the list at #5, and post the
    article in at least 250 newsgroups. (There
    are thousands) No catch, that was it.
    So after thinking it over, and talking to a
    few people first, I thought about trying it.
    I figured: "what have I got
    to lose except 5 stamps and $50.00, right?"
    Then I invested the measly $50.00 (I use the
    word "measly" because $50 really
    is measly compared to the money I have made
    through the initial investment). Well GUESS
    WHAT!?... within 7 days,
    I started getting money in the mail! I was
    shocked! I figured it would end soon, but
    the money just kept coming in.
    In my first week, I made about $50.00. By
    the end of the second week I had made a
    total of over $1,000! In the third
    week I had over $10,000 and it's still
    growing. This is now my fourth week and I
    have made a total of just over
    $42,000 and it's still coming in rapidly.
    It's certainly worth $50.00, and 5 stamps, I
    have spent more than that on
    the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works
    and most importantly, WHY it works... Also,
    make sure you print a copy
    of this article NOW, so you can get the
    information off of it as you need it. I
    promise you that if you follow the
    directions exactly, that you will start
    making more money than you thought possible
    by doing something so easy!
    Suggestion: Read this entire message
    carefully! (print it out or download it.)
    Follow the simple directions and
    watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $50.00
    (Plus postage)
    IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not
    indecent; it is not illegal; and it is 99%
    no risk - it really works!
    If all of the following instructions are
    adhered to, you will receive extraordinary
    dividends.
    NOTE: Please follow these directions
    EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in
    20 to 60 days.
    This program remains successful because of
    the honesty and integrity of the
    participants.
    Please continue its success by carefully
    adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail
    Order business. In this business your
    product is not solid and tangible, it's a
    service.
    You are in the business of developing
    Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are
    happy to pay big bucks for
    quality lists. However, the money made from
    the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from
    people like you and me asking to be included
    in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success:
    STEP 1:
    Get 5 separate pieces of paper and
    write the following on each piece of paper
    "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Once
    added to the list, each person will send you
    a new component
    and/or moneymaking advice to help you along
    the way. This advice has been passed down
    person to person and
    is very helpful. Now get 50 US $10.00 bills
    (or a combination of bills totaling $10) and
    place ONE inside EACH of the 5 pieces of paper so the bill will
    not be seen through the envelope (to prevent
    thievery).
    Next, place one paper in each of the 5
    envelopes and seal them. You should now have
    5 sealed envelopes,
    each with a piece of paper stating the above
    phrase, your name and address,and $10.00
    bill.
    What you are doing is creating a service.
    THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting
    a legitimate service
    and you are paying for it! Like most of us I
    was a little skeptical and a little worried
    about the legal aspects
    of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
    Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they
    confirmed that it is indeed legal.
    Mail the 5 envelopes to the following
    addresses:
    1. Eng. Yousef Abu Hadhoud P.O. Box 4028
    North Hashemi, Amman - Jordan
    2. Steve Wehvila3155 Vernon St.Duluth, MN
    55806
    3. James
    Rush621QueenAvenueMinneapolis,MN55411
    4. Liz Grice 3413 Harvard ave. Columbia, SC
    29205
    5. Jassim Ahmed Qassim Marhoon, BLK 643
    Rd 4313 HSE 727, Nuwaidrat - Bahrain
    STEP 2:
    Now take the #1 name off the list
    that you see above, move the other names up
    (5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3, etc...) and add
    YOUR Name as number 5 on the list.
    STEP 3:
    Change anything you need to, but try
    to keep this article as close to original as
    possible.
    Now, post your amended article to at least
    250 newsgroups. (I think there are close to
    24,000 groups)
    All you need is 250, but remember, the more
    you post, the more money you make! You won't
    get very much
    unless you post like crazy. :)This is
    perfectly legal! If you have any doubts,
    refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the
    Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these
    steps for yourself and,
    whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this
    program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the
    participants and by their carefully adhering
    to the directions.
    Look at it this way. If you are of
    integrity, the program will continue and the
    money that so many others have
    received will come your way. NOTE: You may
    want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a
    computer or hard copy and keep the notes
    people send you. This VERIFIES that you are
    truly providing a service.
    (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the
    cash in dark paper to reduce the risk of
    mail theft.)
    So, as each post is downloaded and the
    directions carefully followed, six members
    will be reimbursed for
    their participation as a List Developer with
    one dollar each. Your name will move up the
    list geometrically so
    that when your name reaches the #1 position
    you will be receiving hundreds of thousands
    of dollars in CASH!!!
    What an opportunity for only $50.00 ($10.00
    for each of the first six people listed
    above) Send it now,
    add your own name to the list and you're in business!
    DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO
    NEWSGROUPS--------
    Step 1:
    You do not need to re-type this
    entire letter to do your own posting, Simply
    put your cursor at the
    beginning of this letter and drag your
    cursor to the bottom of this document (so
    that the document is "highlighted"),
    and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This
    will copy the entire letter into the
    computer's memory.
    Step 2:
    Open a blank 'notepad' file (such as
    in Microsoft Word) and place your cursor at
    the top of the blank page.
    From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This
    will paste a copy of the letter into notepad
    so that you can add your name
    to the list.
    Step 3:
    Save your new notepad file as a .txt
    file. If you want to do your postings in
    different settings,
    you'll always have this file to go back to.
    Step 4:
    Use Netscape or Internet explorer
    and try searching for various newsgroups (on-
    line forums, message boards,
    chat sites, discussions.)
    Step 5:
    Visit these message boards and post
    this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this
    letter and selecting paste from the edit
    menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the
    header that everyone sees as
    they scroll through the list of postings in
    a particular group, click the post message
    button. You're done with your first one!
    Congratulations...
    THAT'S IT!
    All you have to
    do is jump to different newsgroups and post
    away,
    after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!
    **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN,
    THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE
    TO POST A MINIMUM OF 250**
    That's it! You will begin receiving money
    from around the world within days! You may
    eventually want to rent a
    P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you
    will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous,
    you can invent a name
    to use, as long as the postman will deliver
    it.
    **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE
    CORRECT.**
    Now the WHY part:
    Out of 250 postings, say I receive only 5
    replies (a very low example). So then I made
    $50.00 with my name at #5
    on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons
    who just sent me $10.00 make the MINIMUM 250 postings, each with my name
    at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of
    the original 5, that is another $250.00 for
    me, now those 25 each make
    250 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and
    only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $1250!
    Now, those 125 persons turn around and post
    the MINIMUM 250 with my name at #3 and only
    receive 5 replies each,
    I will make an additional $6260! OK, now here
    is the fun part, each of those 625 persons
    post a MINIMUM 250 letters
    with my name at #2 and they each only
    receive 5 replies, that just made me
    $31,2500!!!
    Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 250 newsgroups with my name at #1
    and if still
    5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will
    receive $156,250! With an original investment
    of only $50.00!
    AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the
    list, you just take the latest posting in
    the newsgroups,
    and send out another $50.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 5 again.
    And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands
    upon thousands of people
    all over the world are joining the internet
    and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!!
    So, can you afford $50.00 and see if it
    really works?? I think so... People have
    said, "what if the plan is played
    out and no one sends you the money? So what!
    What are the chances of that happening when
    there are tons of
    new honest users and new honest people who
    are joining the internet and newsgroups
    everyday and are willing
    to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to
    50,000 new users, every day, with thousands
    of those joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and
    HONESTLY and this will really work.
    NOTE: This program can and will work for you
    s long as you post the message in at least
    250 newsgroups
    (e.g. message boards). This might take a long time, probably several hours. But
    remember, as far fetched and
    ridiculous as it seems, if you follow all
    the instructions of this system, you will
    become rich within an
    extremely short period of time. Believe me,
    IT'S WORTH IT!!! I just urge you to be fair
    and honest.
    As long as each person (including you!) sends $10 to everyone on the list, everybody
    (also including you!)
    will become extremely wealthy within just a
    couple of months, and will start receiving money within the first
    week or two! Legal Note: This system is
    perfectly legal. It is not a lottery or a
    scheme intending to defraud,
    it is rather a business. It is part of the
    mail order business. By receiving money from
    others, you do not offer
    them a lottery or any prize based on chance;
    you simply offer them a service (i.e.
    placing them on your mailing list),
    which they request in their letter. By
    definition, this is a service: a consumer
    desires something
    (being put on your mailing list) and is
    willing to pay for it, and you fulfill their
    desire by performing
    the service of putting their name on your
    mailing list for a set fee. By sending money
    to others and writing
    "please place me on your mailing list", you
    do not ask to be entered into a lottery or
    win a prize based on
    chance, you are asking for a service.
    Therefore, this system is perfectly legal.

    I am not sure what piece of documentation you were looking at where you saw a figure of 50 concurrent users or what it meant to covey about capacity. I can believe that this hardware may not scale above 50 concurrent VPN users, but I have great difficulty in believe that 50 LAN users will stress this machine (or 150). I am not clear when you say 2x10mbit whether that is one LAN interface for users and one LAN for outside connection. But I feel pretty comfortable that an 1812 can handle traffic for 150 LAN connected users.

  • Setting up an airport express router with only an ipad

    i will be in a hotel room with only ethernet wired connection.  i am traveling only with my ipad.  can i hook up an wireless modem (Airport exrpress) without a laptop?  How?

    The iPad operating system will not support AirPort Utility, the application that is needed to configure the AirPort Express.
    Your best bet for the time being is going to be to try to use the AirPort Express in its default settings.
    Connect the Express to the Ethernet port at the hotel and power it up. The Express is broadcasting a default wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx, where the "x" could be a letter or number. Look for that wireless network to log on (there is no password). Then open your browser to see if the hotel's log in page appears so you can agree to terms and fees, etc.
    If the hotel does not use a log in page, you should be connected to the Internet if all is well. Since you have an "open" network, anyone within range can log on to your wireless, so you might want to be careful with any sensitive banking or credit card transactions.
    It's not likely that a hacker is close by, but you never know.
    Once you get back home, you can use AirPort Utility to setup the Express to name your wireless network and etstablish a password. Once you save the settings, you should not need to configure the Experss again as it will retain its settings.

  • HT1473 Often times when I copy a CD into my library it breaks the CD into more than one Album, all with the same name but with only a few of the songs on each. This happens whenever the CD has music with more than one artists...like maybe duets.

    Often times when I copy a CD into my library it will break my CD into multiple albums in my library, each with only a few songs.
    Usually this is because there might be songs where the artists has other artists in the song.
    How can I compile all of the different albums (all with the same name by the way) back into one as was the original disc?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

    Get v5 utility and then you can hold down the option key and select the right mode.
    If you have lion, just install it.. For ML follow this.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.

    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.

    How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
    A couple of other items:
    1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
    2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
    I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

    The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device.  Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
    Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click  File>Transfer Purchases

My model is the mid 2012 model. I am running the adobe collection for mac, I want to run the windows versions. Is it possible? What is the most ram I could access using something like fusion 5, assuming I could get fusion 5 to work? would it refuse to run because of the intel chipset and lack of video card?
    If I'm wrong and there is a way to add a video card to this model, could some version of fusion and windows 7 access more than 2 gb operating ram?
    What  cost would I be incurring, and would it be cheaper to buy a windows laptop with more ram than I could access via a virtual machine?
    I want to work on a client's work in the windows versions of the creative suite, with occasional usage of after effects for windows, and to use some web plug-ins only available in windows versions, and to try some windows-only video and audio software.
    thanks for any suggestions. While many people have told me I can run everything on my macbook, I am concerned about what I think is a limited amount of ram that can be accessed over the virtual machine partition softwares, and I don't know if what I want to attempt is actually possible.
    My mbp os is 10.8.2 on a 2.5 GHz intel core i5 4 gb 1600MHz DDR3 with 500 hard drive. the basic 13" mid 2012 machine.
    I'm hoping to install 16 G of opertating ram to allow more adobe programs to run concurrently- just when I am working on the mac side.
    also, off track but, for years I have wanted a small  machine that is more easily portable than my 15" machines. I have only had this used machine for a few weeks, but already I have been very satisfied and used it for presentations at clients. I don't want an air because I really want the dvd burner and player. No matter what apple says about wireless, there are decades of legacy work stored on optical discs all over the world, and I don't want to be unable to open something at a client's office because I don't have a dvd drive. Additionally, I have very large files I want to transfer via ethernet or firewire so that the transfer will take less time and be more secure than wifi. I resist apple's trend to make every machine a disposable toy that is viable only a year or so. I have read reviews that label the mbp it a poor value compared to the air. If all you need to do is text and communicate via wifi, many devices will sufice, and an air is certainly the most elegant. But what about the cost of large ssd's and protecting the drive against damage from shock? I want to be able to move this thing around and the small size is much safer inside my padded bag when I sit in narrow airplane seats, crowded trains and other congested spaces. I am much more likely to be able to borrow a large screen in a client's office ( with the use of one of the three adapters I had to buy) than to be able to borrow a dvd drive that has drivers for mac os 10.8.2. I suspect this may be the last generation of machines that have optical drives and ethernet, and that was why I purchased it so that I could continue to do work into the next few years. I am impressed by the retina display, but I need long battery life. And as beautiful as the retina display is, it is even more of a problem when trying to cross platform with the windows world. I wish I could infuence apple to do a trial product flow for a machine designed to work with 80% of the business world that uses windows. How spectacular that would be. With all their expertise and adept hardware design, to create a machine that cross platforms better than a windows machine itself works? Now that would be an accomplishment.  Instead of 8 or 9 percent of the total computer sales, why not aim for a higher percentage? Smart devices will keep moving toward portable computers in power, anyway.

    Fusion should work on your machine and if you put 16 GB of RAM in (see http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_160 0MHz_SDRAM), Fusion can access a good portion of that. Also, in a Virtual Machine, the guest OS is presented with Fusion's video card emulation, not what's in hardware on your Mac. Of course, finding Windows 7 now that Win 8 has been released could take some doing and the Win 8 Pro upgrade price is supposed to jump to $200 the end of the month. Add that to the price of Fusion and the extra RAM and you're beginning to get into the realm of low end real PC's.
    As to cross platform, I assume you're aware of BootCamp (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461).
