I have a macbook air/ipad/phone, etc. I use my macbook for my home business and bought a TC to do backups. My husband does not want it to be our default wifi/modem as he is exclusively a PC user. Does it have to be? I thought it did everything wirelessly?? I don't want to start disconnecting our modem/router etc as we are all set up with wireless printing and backups for that computer. If I have to muck around with it I am thinking of not bothering??
The TC will connect to your existing modem/router using an Ethernet cable. You will not have to use the wireless on the TC....you can even turn it off if you wish.
Backups to the TC will occur over your existing wireless.
Connect from a LAN <-> port on the modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the TC. Locate the TC anywhere that the Ethernet cable will reach. You can run the cable up to 300 feet with no loss.
Things will not automatically configure themselves. You will have to do some mucking around....no more than you would if you were installing the TC anywhere else.
Configure the TC to "create a wireless network". Once it is setup, you can ignore the TC wireless, or turn it off.

I'm 67 yrs. old.I live in the U.K. I want to use my credit in i-tunes to find the Yoga Studio app. for my MacBook Air laptop.All I can find are apps. for i-phones,i-pads and i-pods.Can anyone help please.
Apps for OSX aren't in iTunes: they are in the App Store in your Applications folder. The payment method is the one registered in iTunes. There's no app actually called Yoga Studio, though there are several Yoga apps. There is an iOS app called Yoga Studio but it appears to have no OSX equivalent, though I haven't done a detailed search.

Can we copy a CD tutorial onto an iPad? Does it work like the MacBook Air when downloading or copying using the iMac?
So it can be .mp4 format.
If not you have to convert it.
Try import it into iTunes then sync it to your iPad.

Hey, I'm trying to install Adobe Flash on my Macbook Air. At a certain point it asks for my password but it doesn't take it. So I cannot continue installment. I have reset my password already. Still the same problem. How can I continue to install when it keeps asking for a password it doesn't recognize over and over again? How many times do I have to reset it then? Advice please
You have to provide your computer's administrator password in order to install Flash Player.

Quit Safari, find the com.apple.Safari.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder, drag it to the Desktop, log out/in or restart and let us know what happens.

I have an iPhone 4 and am in Nepal. My phone was previously able to connect to wifi, but now is unable. I have an iPad and that is able to connect just fine. This problem is with every wifi hotspot I have tried so it is the phone not the modem.
Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

New to Macbook Air. Screen suddenly expands to 4-500% for no apparent reason. Have to use back arrow to return but lose what I've been typing. What am I doing to cause this?
Next time you want to put your iMac screen to sleep, try switching off the Magic Mouse, wait for the notification to come up on the screen telling you the Magic Mouse has been disconnected, wait for it to disappear then press the keyboard shortcut to put the screen to sleep. See if that helps and we'll go from there. If that doesn't help, can you just say wether the screen always turns back on the same time every time?
Hope that helps
