How can you change the name of a wireless network set up with an airport express

Yes, you can. If you use the current AirPort Express, Apple says that you can connect up to 50 devices. Realistically, make that 25-30 or so before the speed really begins to drop.
Remember that you will have to reset the modem though, before you connect it to the AirPort Express as the modem "remembers" the settings for your computer.

How can you change the default setting for the alarm for new events?

When I create a new Event, it will create an alarm that will activate 15 minutes before the event. I'd like to change the settings so the default setting would be that when I create a new event it will activate 1 day before the actual event. Is it possible to change this? Thanks.

Greetings, David.
alarm...activate 1 day before the actual event. Is it possible to change this?
Sure.
_Go to iCal > Preferences > General >"Add a default alarm to all new events and invitations"
_Change the current value from 15 minutes to whatever minute value you like (1440 for 24 hours).
_Of course this will only affect NEW events. Not those already created.
_Close the window and your done.
Hope that helps.

How can you keep the file name when using "Download Linked File As..."?

I'm a longtime PC user finally making the transition to Mac. Some of the tasks that seemed so simple in Windows have really stumped me! One of the tasks I do frequently is download files into specific folders. After much looking, I finally found the "Download Linked File As..." option if I right-click on the download link. The problem is, when I choose this option, I lose the file name. I get a window in which I can choose the desired folder, but the filename is always "0". If I want to keep the filename (and I usually do), I have to type it in manually. Is there anyway around this?

You can post a screen shot by clicking on the liitle Camera icon above your reply. :)
Just checked on 10.7.4+, still the same, something is borked about your install, to see if we need to re-install...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

How can you change the leading in a fillable forms in the multi-line setting?

I am creating multiple pdf files with check boxes, single text boxes and multi-line. On the form, I have multiple lines where the person will be able to type a description but I can't figure out how to change the leading so that when they do the fillable part, the copy will sit on the printed lines. Does anyone know how to do this, besides with the Typewriter tool, because that tool makes the rest of the document's fillable boxes unusable.

Try making a new PDF from a blank page and add a couple of text fields. Save and reopen. You'll get a purple box at the top of the page that says there are form fields to be filled. If anyone needs more help they are in trouble. Again if you must have the lines you need to do some experiments with a text box and see what the leading is in Acrobat for the size of the text you are inputting and then adjust your lines to match, not the other way around. You have no control over the leading, just the font size.

HT201342 How can I change the USER of my i-cloud address? My 12 year old set up the e-mail account and used a silly user name (like: turtle!!). I would like to have an icloud e-mail account but under my own user name. The other /old name can be deleted?

How can I change the USER name of my i-cloud e-mail account? It was set up by my son and he used a silly / embarrassing user name. I would like to change this name OR set up another i-cloud e-mail account under my own name / reference. Help?

iCloud email addresses can't be changed or deleted, but you can set up an alias namethat he can use which will be linked to his current iCloud account and will receive email in the existing iCould inbox. This guide explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

Creating a wireless network using several Airport Express(es)

I would like to connect three AirPort expresses to my Sky Broadband router to create a new wifi network in my house. My router is in the basement and is connected into a hub which provides ethernet to the house. I would like to connect the AirPorts via ethernet to the router and create a single wifi network.
Can someone please tell me if this is possible and what settings the AirPorts should have. For instance, should I just extend the sky network using each AirPort or should I create a new network with one AirPort and then extend that with the others?
Many thanks
Terry

If each of the AirPort Express devices will be connected using Ethernet, you would configure them all exactly the same except for assigning different device names...AX1, AX2, AX3, etc.
Each Express will be configured to....
Create a wireless network
Same wireless network name on all devices
Same Radio Mode
Channel set at Automatic
Same wireless security setting
Same wireless network password
Very important....configure each Express in Bridge Mode
Post back if you need more details

The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

I used part of my name in my home network. Now I understand this was stupid security error. How can i change the name of my home wifi network, airport express? Thanks.

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the picture of the AirPort Express
Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
Edit the Wireless Network Name
Keep it short.....maximum 10-12 characters or so. No blank spaces or punctuation marks in the name
Click Update at the lower right of the window to save the new setting and wait a full minute for the AirPort to restart

Read another post in the forum about this and it appears this app also installs a profile with a proxy service that you will have to try and delete as well. Check that out.
