I'm going to sound like an idiot but...

I really need some help!! I'm about to pull out my hair. Okay, here it goes. I have Ntlworld for my internet provider, the told me I could also have a wireless connection. I asked the installer if all I needed was the airport station to go wireless... he said yes. Today I purchased the Airport Express and tried to get my wireless internet working (I have used it before) I even called NTL to ask them about the wireless info (of course they had no idea how to do it). After looking into it, apparently NTL offer wireless through Actiontec, but you've got to pay 100 GBP for it!!! is there anyway around this?? I've already have all of the products to run wireless..... do I actually have to pay them more just to make it work???
please help me (i'm so pathetic lol)

You should be able to connect your NTL cable modem to the ethernet port of the Airport Express.
Before you do this, unplug everything and wait at least 30 minutes, you may need to wait overnight before powering everything back up.

Hate sound like an idiot but will downloading iTunes 7 erase....

I really hate to sound like an idiot but when I look at the update iTunes and it takes me to the page to download, if I do this, will it erase what I already have in my library. I just want to make sure as I have had hinkier things happen and I really don't want to lose all that I have amassed. Thanks again

If this is an iTunes question, as it seems to be, then you really should be looking and, if still needed, posting in one of the "iTunes for Windows" forums.
Speaking for the Mac OS though, no .... your iTunes Library just gets carried along and appears automatically in the new version of iTunes.

This is going to sound like a joke, but it is not. When I try to text "LOL" it autocorrects to "Eat my poop ; )". How do I stop this?

This is not s joke...and it is so annoying. When I try to text "LOL", it automatically auto-corrects to read "Eat my poop ; )". Does anyone know how I can stop this?

Someone played a prank on you and entered a keyboard shortcut to change lol to something else. Your can delete that shortcut in Settings > General > Keyboard > Shortcuts

I'm syncing music to my iPhone. My playlist has 15.96 Gig but when I go to sync it, the iPhone says 18.1 Gig of audio. Any ideas as to why (I realize I'm probably going to feel like an idiot when I get an answer)?

Do you have any voice memos that were created on your iPhone?
Did you include music videos?
If the iPhone isn't behaving like other iPhones, try restarting or restoring it.

My macbook pro won't stop making noise! It sounds like the fan but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

my macbook pro won't stop making noise! It sounds like the fan but I'm not sure. Any ideas? It's really worrying me because I haven't had it for up tp 2months and last week everytime I switch it on it makes sooo much noise. And I treat like an egg so I don't understand whats going on.

Hey,
My friend had a very similar issue to yours. The issue came down to the pins of the MagSafe not meeting with the MacBook perfectly causing the lights and the transfer of power to be wacko. I'm not sure if this is issue that your experiencing, but its worth checking out the pins and the MagSafe area on your MacBook for debris.
Troubleshooting Magsafe power adapters with stuck pins
If that is all clear, then I would suggest you call AppleCare or take it in to an Apple Store to have it checked out.

I seem to remember having QT Pro on my powerbook when I bought it. At least I had the ability to watch stuff full screen. Somewhere along the line I updated QT because of some prompt probably, and lost the use of all of QT's features, including full-screen mode. What I have is like the demo version or something. Can I get the version back that I paid for with my mac? And another question: when I share an iMovie HD project with QT on the full quality setting, is that really a full-quality version? As good as if I had put the project on a DVD straight from iMovie? Thanks for any help.

I bought it right around then, and it came with Tiger. I figured I could re-install QT with the bundle software disc that came with the computer, but (and I'm going back a year or more), I seem to remember that I could'nt install QT only, like could'nt pull it out of the 'bundle' without installing all the other stuff. Know what I'm sayin? All I want is the quicktime that I once had.
So its safe then, for me to make my movies with iMovie, share them with quicktime full quality, delete them (cause the projects are so friggin huge), and just use the QT files with iDVD withough coprimising any quality? Was that straight enough!!??
thanks for the help.

This is probably going to sound like a ridiculous question, but

I have a lot of stuff on my iphone, and would like a folder or area where I can access/store the most important things (files, documents, pics, and video) in one place. I'm not talking about things on my mac computer (and I'm leery of downloading things onto my mac), but different things already on my iphone. For example I have a short video on facebook that I need to refer to often and quickly, but I have to go through a lot of steps to pull it up. I have soccer schedules, particular e-mails a picture or two, and other files that I would love to store all together on the phone where I could access it quickly (mabey in a folder of 'important stuff') Does anyone know how this could be done? I am pretty much computer illiterate, and was just wondering if there was a way or an app that would let me store a variety of different files so I don't have to go searching through a mountainous amount of information every time I was looking for the particular thing that I use the most often.

sorry hate to break your heart but this cant be done.. the closest thing I can think of would be getting drop box and loading your docs and pictures into it but I dont think you can get a video off facebook to put on dropbox really this functionality is not on the iphone dropbox is as close as you will get..

I HAVE TIS NOISE IN MY IMAC AND IT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE THE FAN BUT A SWOOSHING FRYING SOUND THAT LASTS FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS BUT NOT EVERY TIME I USE THE IMAC. LIKE THIS TIME, I'M ON IT FOR 45 MIN. & IT DID NOT HAPPEN. ?? WHAT IS IT ?

I have had this imac for one year and 2 mos. recently I hear a swooshing noise like speakers are frying when I power up and again intermittantly which lasts about only a few second and quiets down by itself. I have mt portable DVD drive unplugged, I turn down the volumn on the imac but it makes no difference.
I don't have applecare so I guess I should take it to the local apple store in Santa Monica ffor them to check it out. But it could be that it wont do it when you expect it to happen ???
Is anyone familiar with this sound ?

Could it be the hard drive making this noise?
Or could it be the fans?

I feel like an idiot but how/where can I purchase iTunes Match? What am I missing?

Thanks,

This is going to sound silly I know but how do I move apps around ? I have spaces on earlier pages that I want to fill but can't get them back there.

Thanks

Press and hold one of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. You can then drag the apps around the screen (don't drag too quickly though). To move them to a different screen drag them so that they overhang the edge of the screen - the display should then change (after a couple of seconds) to the previous/next screen, depending on which edge you're holding the app. When you've finished re-arranging them press the home button so as to stop the apps shaking.
You can also re-arrange the apps via the device's Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes (whih some people find easier).

This is probably going to sound ridiculous!

Is the glass used on the iPhone 4S any different to the iPhone 4? Or is the iPhone 4S built any stronger than the iPhone 4?
I probably sound like an idiot, but I won't know unless I ask...

It's OK, it's a legitimate question. But there is no change in the glass.

Sounds like maybe my fan is rubbing against something...

When I tilt the screen up and the fan is going it sounds like something that is spinning gets rubbed up against. This only happens when the fan is going, so I figure it's that. Any clue as to whether this is a real issue to be concerned about?
Also concerning fans... do they get dirty and clogged like some fans in larger computers do? Is there some sort of maintenance that should be done inside. I can't imagine it's a good idea to go opening things up, but thought I should check.
Thanks in advance for all your help gang. I just reset my PRAM, turned on my Activity Monitor and ran some periodic stuff in Terminal per your suggestions and the long flying jet-plane just landed so that's a good sign!!!

Hi Chris,
Any clue as to whether this is a real issue to be concerned about?
I would be concerned if it were my machine, concerned enough to investigate further by opening the keyboard and/or bottom of the PB to see if I could positively confirm that the fan was rubbing, and if so, on what. And if it was rubbing, I'd fix it or have it fixed.
Fans are there to cool off the internal components, and a rubbing fan is not going to spin as fast/cool as well, and over time is likely to burn out, at which time you may well have an overheating issue. If the fan happens to be rubbing on a wire (very possible), and eventually wears through the insulation on the wire and/or the wire itself, even more issues.
Yes, I'd be concerned if my fan was rubbing on something.
Also concerning fans... do they get dirty and clogged like some fans in larger computers do?
Very much depends on the environment the PB is used in and how often it's used there. I remember one post quite some time ago talking about a nearly golf-ball sized hair/dust ball inside a PB. I still find that hard to believe, but that's what they said. Others have posted about a rather heavy layer of dust coating their fan/s which affected the spin rate; cleaning restored normal operation (to get an idea, take a look at a ceiling fan which gets used daily and hasn't been cleaned in a few years; not good).
Is there some sort of maintenance that should be done inside. I can't imagine it's a good idea to go opening things up, but thought I should check.
Shut down, remove batt and power adapter, open keyboard and bottom of PB, and use common sense. I'd probably use a Q-Tip slightly moistened with rubbing alcohol.
I don't know which PB you have. This is why it's always a good idea to list it; a DVI could be a 667, 800, 867, or 1GHz. The 867 and 1GHz have two fans, while the 667 and below have only one. I don't remember off-hand about the 800.
All TiBooks have a CPU fan centered at rear of PB. The later models also have a power supply fan at the right rear corner.
I just reset my PRAM, turned on my Activity Monitor and ran some periodic stuff in Termin
Also do a PMU Reset.

I have my AIR plugged into another monitor and after it goes to sleep sometimes it sounds like the system is running and it will not come back up.. I have to restart it. What is this.. Please help

I have a macbook air and i have it hooked to another monitor and I love it but lately it has after it goes to sleep for a while it sounds like it is trying to run the drive or fan really hard and when I try to bring it alive it does not come back to life so I have to hard boot it and then restart it. What is this...

Go into Sys. Pref , and power settings and UNcheck "put hard disks to sleep" on both power tab and battery tab.
When on projector use with your Air and a presentation, dont close the monitor or sleep your Air.
Verify any coincident applications running that can/could conflict with projector / sleep occurrence by running Etrecheck:

When I turn on firefox the sound of an alarm begins and keeps going. I did not download or add or open anything. A sound like the old pacman game initiates the never ending alarm. It does not occur with safari and ends if I close firefox.

== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I opened firefox

dont have google open in a tab!!!!!!!!
(if you are one who opens FF and it opens google then immediately open another tab to go to a site then just visit the site from the page that opened without opening a new tab)
OR
if you have cool preview then disable that
(the sound is for the celebration of 30 years of pacman and you can play the game on google's homepage)

I'm going to sound like an idiot but...
