I am the only person in my family with a mac. If my family purchases the Time Capsule, will they be able to use it to back up their files with their PCs?

Yeah, I have a macbook but everyone else has a windows computer. If we buy this will they be able to back up their files on the Time Capsule wirelessly as well? Also, if I put a backup onto the Time Capsule, will everyone be able to see what is on my back up, or will I just be able to see the back up for my computer?

Only you will see the backup of your Mac.
will they be able to back up their files on the Time Capsule wirelessly as well?
You will need a special Windows application like Genie Timeline Pro to be able to backup the PCs automatically to the Time Capsule. Otherwise, you must manually copy the files over.
Check with the Genie folks on backup details for the PCs before you buy.

How do I add an airport extreme to existing time capsule network and be able to use the router ethernet ports?

Good day everyone. I recently upgraded my airport extreme network by replacing the base station with a time capsule router. Since I now have an "extra" airport extreme router, I've set it up on the other side of the house to both extend the wireless range as well as use it's LAN ports for a home theater system in that location. Connecting the two routers was done via ethernet. It now appears that I need to do something "else" as the LAN ports on the now relocated airport extreme are nonfunctional. All devices are operating well for wireless and as a review, the modem is connected to the time capsule WAN which is connected to the airport extreme via ethernet cable via LAN to it's WAN port. What do I need to change on configurations to get the LAN ports functioning on the airport extreme? Thank you for any help.

Connecting the two routers was done via ethernet. It now appears that I need to do something "else" as the LAN ports on the now relocated airport extreme are nonfunctional.
With both base stations interconnected by Ethernet you have the basis for a "roaming" type network. If properly configured, both base stations' Ethernet ports would be enabled for wired clients.
The key configuration items for a roaming network are as follows:
All base stations used must be interconnected by Ethernet.
The "main" base station; the one connected to the Internet modem, must be configured to provide both NAT & DHCP services; all other base stations used must be configured as bridges (NAT & DHCP disabled.)
Each base station must have a unique base station name.
Each base station must use the same wireless security type and password.

Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue. I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them either failing or not sending at all. Is there an outage in the Cleveland, Ohio area (zip codes 44129, 44134, 44137) or anything else I can do to resolve this issue?

Not that I'm a Verizon employee, but I have experience in the field. An LTE tower will only extend up to, on a perfect day, with no elevation, 6-7 miles. On a typical day, you will be lucky at four (4) miles. The three ZIP codes you've given are all within about a 12 mile radius. That would mean that 2-3 towers are currently down at the same time, and Verizon would know about it within the hour. Being it's Cleveland, I'm sure they would receive numerous calls regarding an outage of that size.
My point is that if you're having issues in all three ZIP codes, chances are it's a phone issue. If you're handset is simply not receiving LTE, but still receiving 3G, that would signify a SIM card issue. You need to get your SIM card replaced.

I can't be the only person who has this problem - when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that

I can't be the only person who has this problem with iCal- when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that.

Yeah that works, but, it involves a click on the event, a click on edit, a click on the date, keystrokes, plus, since you can't see the next month you have to have a calendar in front of you so as to put it to the right date. It's easier just to cut it and advance the month and paste it, once you are in the right month you can move it around helter skelter willy nilly no problems. Although now that you mention it I will try it, maybe it is easier than cut and paste as I don't really care about the date, as long as it gets moved into the right month I can drag it around all I want.

Am I the ONLY person who's angry that mobile hasn'...

Hello. Am I the ONLY person who's angry that my mobile hasn't lasted for several years? Am I the ONLY person who's had problems on and off throughout the last two years with his / her Nokia, AND had it replaced twice by Nokia Care, and now that it is out of warranty, require $292 to be repaired?
Bought the Nokia 6110 on a typical 2 year plan 2 years ago, and it just hasn't ever been faultless.
But even though it kept going 'funny', at least I could use some of the features, and Nokia Care have replaced the 'innards' of it from Nokia Asia somewhere, which took ages, And the 'loan fones' have been just aweful. And 'no', the loan fones were not able to hold Contact numbers from the 6110.
But when my Nokia 6110 started to just 'drop out' and say "Insert SIM Card", I knew I had a big problem. At first 'they' said it was because I didn't update the Nokia firmware upgrade properly. Then they said .................................................... Then they said I needed to get a new SIM card from my Telco because some times the SIM cards "go bad".
However yesterday Nokia Care finally dropped the 'big one' - my fone can be repaired for $292. That's almost THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Tell me, how much is a new Nokia.
Oh, and I am STILL waiting to hear from Nokia Care about when I can go back and pick up my 'dead' phone.
Did I tell you my 2 year contract ran out three months ago? Did I tell you I now can get another fone, with whichever Telco I chose, and I can pick any fone I want to go with another contact? So like you, I am doing HEAPS of 'reviewing' of fones on every website I can find, and I am asking people, and doing FaceBook, and Twitter, and ...................
And guess which brand I will not ever get again?? And guess which brand I am telling everyone about??
Oh, and I have written quite a few times before to Nokia - and I am still waiting for a reply............... That's what makes telling everyone how I feel SO much easier.
Nokia, you have lost your 'edge'. You care so much about 'selling', that you have forgotten its also about OWNING and SERVICING. Gosh, you do it bad. The products are hit-and-miss; your support is lousy; and your communication just sucks big time.
Have a nice day.

Hi Disappointed_Nk ,
Kindly take note that the boards here are for user-to-user support only.
If you want to provide any feedback directly to Nokia, you should use the 'Contact us' link at the top of the page to contact your local Nokia team.

Prepaid accounts don't have Account Owners/Managers, they just have Account Members (and prepaid accounts have less options regarding changes via their My Verizon account as a result).

Do I need a user account if I am the only person using my Mac?

Hi. Total newb to Mac here so be gentle with me What I am wondering is did I need to create a user account for myself when I am the only person that ever uses my Mac? The reason I did create one is I did not see an obvious way to create a password upon boot up as a straight admin account & I am concerned about theft. So I guess I am asking a few questions. Do I need the standard account & if not how do I delete it?
If I do not need one can I set up a login PW for OSX period?
I sincerly thank any help.

See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3309
Go to ->System Preferences->User Accounts.
As the only user, you must have at least 1 User Account for yourself (as Administrator)
To delete an account, hightlight it and select [ - ]
For Password on Boot, select Login Options and set Automatic Login to OFF
Note that if your Mac is stolen, its very easy to bypass the Password on Boot.
For Security, see ->System Preferences->Security->Filevault
Personally, I think Filevault is overkill, so I just put my sensitive date in Encrypted Disk Images: http://www.macworld.com/article/53658/2006/10/decmobilemac.html

Outlook 2010, Advanced Find, 'Where I am the only person on the TO line' not working

Outlook 2010 running in online mode with Exchange 2010 SP3.
When performing an Advanced Find, clicking the check box 'Where I am:' and selecting 'the only person on the To line', the search results return email messages where there are multiple people in the To
line.
Does anyone have any insight on this, and is there a custom search I can perform for similar results in the Advanced tab?
Thank you

Unable to repro it here. What if we enable cached Exchange mode, will this issue continue?
In addition, meeting items will ignore the 'Where I am: the only person on the To line' criteria when searching. Make sure these search results are not meeting items.

Am I the only person who thinks the iPhone 5 is difficult to set up?

Am I the only person who thinks the iPhone 5 is difficult to set up? At one entry I use just my Apple ID (not an email) and it goes through. At another entry it requires the entire email. ??

Probably not, but I suspect you didn't read the user guide, and will be one of the people who come later ranting to this forum about issues that are clearly covered in the said guide.

HT201304 I am the only person who uses my iPad shall I use restrictions or disable thanks

Hello I am the only person who uses my iPad shall I use restrictions or disable thanks
Ps what difference does it makeo

It's your choice. If you are the only person that uses the iPad then it's probably not necessary, but, for example, if you think that you will never make in-app purchases then you could disable them via Restrictions so that you can't accidentally make them.
In terms of the difference that it makes, then you can use it to hide some of the built-in apps e.g. Safari, App Store (via 'Installing Apps') etc, prevent apps from being deleted, or hide some of your content.
But if you do set restrictions then remember the passcode that you use for it - if you forget the restrictions code then the only way (unless it wasn't in place when you last backed up) to remove it is reset the iPad back to factory defaults.

Am I the only person who hated AVATAR

Hi all
I actually fell asleep during Avatar (and that was BEFORE a visit to the pub).
Am I the only person who actually found this movie REALLY Boring
Cheers
jimbo

No you are not! I found it really boring too! I mean, I enjoyed the effects and oohed and aaahed at all the right scenes, but frankly, I would have rather stayed at home and watched Bullit or something.
And for those you will be putting the question up, yes, I saw it in 3D and everything.
Saw Sherlock Holmes the other day and found it a 100 times better than Avatar, though being a die hard fan of the books for such a long time, I found the idea of a hyperactive-snide-remark-spitting-funny-man Holmes a bit difficult to take in. I'm not saying its bad, I'm just saying its hard to get used to at first to the idea of this new iteration of the screen Holmes.
