IMail Backup NOW Question, and more b/u

Hi: My G5 (OX 10.4) is crashing and ready to die a slow (maybe fast) death. It starts up once in a while....but mostly freezes on startup. I tried to reinstall the original disk, but half way through it detects errors and can't continue.. It is running today (I shall leave on!)
SO: I finally ordered a new iMac --- but there is a 3 way delay.
I wish, now, to backup critical stuff to a harddrive....then import later when computer arrives.
No problem on various DOCUMENTS, and iphoto and itune libraries. Just drag and drop.
BUT HOW DO I BACK UP and SAVE all the mail that is in my iMail folders? I wish to , eventually, move those to my new computer.
ALSO: my AIRPORT has crashed as well on this old G5. I cannot pull up the DSL signal in my home on thsi computer (I get, AIRPORT NOT CONFIGURED in the menu, though I've tried to set up with my DSL provider). That's why I need to import using cable.
I appreciate the Apple Community help on this.
PS: Before I start dragging and dropping today, is there an easy way to BACK UP all my various things (except applications, etc/)/
JON

Hi Jon,
Very best would be a complete clone of the Drive so Setup Assistant/Migration Assistant can import & convert all your stuff on the new one.
But...
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
For Address Book, quit AB...
Files...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
Folders...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/
Though for AB, selecting All & exporting as a vCard file is more useful.

Looking to buy, SSD question, and more..

Howdy,
I have a MacBook Air (original, 3 years old or more). I love it. I have the SSD. I love it too.
I have had a few MBP's in the past with normal HD. However, I have never used a MBP with an SSD...
I am intending to buy a MBP (15" or 17") and am curious if the normal HD is loud/buzz/issue ? I am spoiled by the silence of the SSD, but the cost is a lot, so if the newer MBP's have improved HD's then maybe it will be ok..
Any one have any experience with both SSD and normal HD's on a MBP?
Also, any issues for the 17" I should know about?
Thanks!

I had the new MBP (late 2011 and early 2011) with both original Apple HDDs and now an original SSD, and I can say that the former two (both the Hitachi 7200rpm and Toshiba 5400rpm versions) had this constant buzzing. I never heard it on my 2009 or 2007 MBPs, so it's something new... not so loud, but having an SSD now, I can say it'd be really annoying to go back to it.
I'd reccomend you buy the MBP with the HDD anyway, and then buy an SSD seperately, change it yourself, and use the HDD as an external drive (in an enclosure you can find on eBay).

An album cover question (and more)

I went to the trouble of putting album covers with my iPod and it worked great, except for once.
I have a crappy PC at home, so I use the Macs at work with my iPod. I have used at least four different computers and the 100 or so songs I uploaded on one specific computer that I only used once don't show the artwork on the iPod. The pics do show up on iTunes on all the comps I have tried.
Also, can I delete the covers? I put the wrong cover on a few songs and then put on the right one, but it still shows the wrong one on the iPod (I can switch between the two in iTunes, but that seems to do no good).
One final question (finally, right?). My crappy PC at home can't run iTunes and I've avoided hooking the iPod up to it, but can I use it just to charge the iPod, or am I playing with fire switching between platforms?
Thanks for any help.

Hey!
You aren't playing with fire so long as you don't load up iTunes on the PC at any point.Otherwise you might want to set your Pod to manually update songs thru iPod preferences.This way it won't sync and erase everything!
The issue with covers is pretty simple to correct(took me 4yrs to work it out!!).
Highlight the song in iTunes>get info>Artwork tab>select to delete or drag the A/W you want to display to first position.....done.
Cheers,
John
PS
You can keep multiple A/W and chop and change whenever.Also,if you're running Tiger OSX get the album art widget,you can then apply to single or multiple tracks!Really cool!
Cheers.

Pac-man question (and more...)

Hi there y'all,
Can anyone explain what the difference is between original and normal modes in pac-man?
Also, does anyone know when more games will come out. I'm DYING to have Sudoku on my iPod. That would be sooooo perfect.
Dan P.

Hi Dan!
I know I don't have any experience with Pac-man, but you may want to email the makers of this game at this address: [email protected]
Also, does anyone know when more games will come out. I'm DYING to have Sudoku on my iPod. That would be sooooo perfect.
Nobody knows if Apple will come out with new games for iPods anytime soon or not (also, if you see the Terms of Use, we shouldn't discuss future Apple products).
You can, though, drop Apple a note on their iPod Feedback form. They will read what you have to say, and, if they have enough requests that game, it may be added in a future version of iTunes.
I hope this helps you,

Oracle install questions and more....

Hi
I am use to Oracle 7. I just downloaded *i from internet. On Oracle 8i personnal where are the Designer and Developer? How do I get to them.
Where do I get the password for SQL plus?
I have installed and deinstalled this 4 times thinking it did not install right. Now when i install it still has the old database names in it. I click on database, it goes to does type screen flashes (if you look quickly) Run time error. Then comes up with a small window. ora 001034 or 001131? invalid password.
I have uninstalled all products. I deleted Oracle directory and the old autoexec.bat. Did I for get anything? It said in install that there were 74 products. Is that the right amout for typical?
Sid
null

dear sidney,
up to my best knowledge personnal oracle 8i is having only database,like personnal oracle7 its not having application development tool's like developer/2000 with it.for getting forms,reports,menu's etc.you will be in need to install them separately.
For getting password for sqlplus,two passwords for superuser are provided by default that is "system" having passwd "manager" and "sys".Same way there is one default user "scott" having passwd "tiger".If you will connect through "system" than you can create other user's by any name by command
"create user xyz identified by passwd;"
after that you can grant him previledges
by command
"grant connect,resources,dba to xyz"
if you will grant dba to any user than he will also be having all right's of superuser
like dba user "system".

XMP questions and more switching from LR questions too.

Hey all,
I recently downloaded the trial version of Aperture 3, as I'm thinking about switching from Lightroom 2. I do have a couple questions about XMP data though.
I understand that if I switch over my library to Aperture, I will lose all edits I currently have in LR because that information is subjective to Adobe dialog and so on. That's not a big deal, as I could just start new with Aperture while still keeping my old LR catalogs.
What I don't understand is if it's true that you can't save out edited XMP data? I work for a color-correction company, and we typically save out XMPs to send back to our clients. It appears that the only XMP data Aperture saves is core data, such as date, time, et cetera, but no adjustments. Sometimes I'll work on a photo, and, if I'm not liking my result, then send the original to a friend to see how they edit it. They will send their XMP back to me, and that way it's easy to compare and make small adjustments without having to work off a jpeg. XMP support would be the one huge thing that might be a dealbreaker.
Some thing I miss in Lightroom are before/after view mode, the ability to see my history and take snapshots (and easily revert to the original), and the ability to see what channels were clipping in my histogram.
The last question is speed. Most of the articles I've read have pointed out speed as a big jump of Aperture over LR. While I've definitely had my share of slow LR, Aperture doesn't seem to be significantly faster, if it is at all. I'm working on a MBP with 4GB of RAM and 40 free GBs on a 160GB HD...any ideas?
All feedback is much appreciated!

I had sidecar XMP files with my Lightroom masters. Everything worked perfectly when I imported my images into Aperture 3. I would like to use both applications as I really love the map in Aperture 3, but I cannot embed the geotag information into the image, and if I want this information to be read by both applications, I use Geotagger, or Geophoto which can embed the image into the file, and that will be read by both Lightroom and Aperture immediately.
I was really pleased when I found that Aperture 3 read all the other metadata correctly!

Monitor question and more

Hi all,
I recently connected my iBook to a projector. Number one, I had to restart my computer to get the connection to work. Is this normal? Sometimes I plug in and it starts right up and other times I have to restart it. Is this a sign of a bigger problem? Two, after it was up and running a different picture showed up on the screen than what I had previously put. Not a big deal, but I was just wondering.
Thanks for any help that can be given. I'm a new user and really enjoying my mac.
God Bless
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

There are not hard and fast rules that I'm aware of as to whether Mac OS X will correctly detect a display attached after the system is booted - sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
Restarting is one option, but so is using System Preferences -> Displays and clicking the 'Detect displays' button.
As for the separate images that sounds like a difference between display mirroring and an extended desktop. When mirroring the display, the same image is shown on both screens. When extending the desktop the external monitor becomes an extension of your primary monitor such that moving the mouse off the edge of one screen makes it appear on the opposite edge of the other, just as if they were attached. The displays preferences lets you define the relative position of each screen.
As for the user accounts, that's perfectly normal. For security's sake most of the background services on the machine run as an unprivileged user - that way if they're compromised in any way there is a limited amount of access a hacker can get. To do this each process uses a different username. 'jabber' is the username for the iChat server, and 'nobody' is a generic unprivileged username. All the accounts (as well as many other parameters of your system configuration) are stored in a database managed by NetInfo, hence the name of NetInfo Manager, an application that lets you view and manipulate the data in your system database.

Ps3 format question, and more..thanks

hi guys, i transferred a hd movie from my sony camera to my ps3 it plays great, when i copyed the movie from my ps3 to a external hdd, to edit with imov09, it wont play. the file is there, any ideas>
also i took a clip of it and converted it to mp4, and another to quick time, they played ok, however when i dragged across to edit in movie 09 ,it wont allow them in to be edited ?
where am i going wrong? any help would be great.
thank you.

Here are ones that appleman posted -- they will work for imovie9 just use export quicktime movie
I did some experimentation based on a post by Dan Hawkins in the "Pro" forums. I experimented with his settings using the Quicktime Export option in iMovie 08 and they worked. His post is below.
============================================================
from Dan Hawkins:
I am using a PS3 to preview HD video edited in FCE-3.5.1HD with the following QT-PRO export settings:
1) export from FCE using Quicktime conversion
2) select format MPEG-4
3) select options:
a) under file format select MP4 (not MP4 ISMA)
b) under video tab select H.264
data rate in the range of about 10000 to 18000 kbits/sec depending on what filesize/quality you are shooting for
image size---select 1280X720HD or 1920X1080HD
frame rate---select 29.97 or "current" if already on a editing timeline of that type
key frame---select either automatic or every 24 frames
video options---select "MAIN" profile and single pass encoding (when I use "MULTI-PASS" encoding I get a "FILE UNREADABLE" error message on my PS3)
c) under audio tab select default AAC-LC
d) under streaming tab select default "not enabled"
I transfer the resulting high definition .MP4 file to the PS3 by one of the following methods:
ethernet network connection
iPod/thumb drive
SD-card
I have to hit the "alternate menu" under the PS3 video section and select "display all files" to see the video file and then save it to the local PS3 HDD (some dumb programming there!).
I have heard there might be an upper limit of 4Gb on the file size (if so, another dumb move), but have not come across that limitation yet (I just got the PS3 about a week ago and am working through some of the same issues you seem to be struggling with).
I think that some of the confusion regarding the PS3 relative to playing back HD from regular DVD-R is that the PS3 will hardware decode a properly encoded .MP4 HD video file from whatever media it is presented on and as such does not require a HD "authoring" container with menus and such. These so called "HD authoring tools" are currently in a pretty confused state at the moment and are the source of much incompatibility with many HD playback devices, but the PS3 bypasses all of that and plays the file directly through hardware decoding.

Uphraded from 3GS to 4 and restored 4 from a backup, now FaceTime and iMessage isn't present on the 4. Help?

What do I do? I don't know how to get FaceTime and iMessages back.

It sounds like you have done a lot of troubleshooting already, but I'm not seeing that you signed out of Messages on the Mac and then signed back in. I would also suggest that you try signing out of iCloud and then back in again (since your Contacts seem to not be registering correctly either).
Worth a shot....

Where can I get a script to submit questions and answer them?

Is there a script out there that works like this?
Visitor asks question on website, goes to Admin section. Admin answers question and now question and answer are posted together on the front page. Front page is constantly updated with these answered questions, newest on top. Search on top should search all of answered questions.

It wouldn't be a script. You're asking about a whole category of functionality, including training the person who answers the emails.
This could be implemented in a variety of ways, with a variety of capabilities, and with a variety of requirements and levels of efficiency. The choice you use will depend a lot on the hardware you're running on, the server and tools you use for your existing site, the amount of activity you expect, etc.
If you're using an existing, well-supported application server and web development environment, then I expect that what you're asking for could be built within it pretty easily. It might even be available pre-built. But it's not like there's some generic "q/a tool script" in fifty lines of Java code that you can just dump on any web server and have it work magically in all cases.

I want a new and more powerful (non-Apple) wireless router but I still want to use my existing Time Capsule to continue with my Time Machine backups and I still need the Time Capsule's Network Attached Storage (NAS) features and capabilities

THE SHORTER STORY
My goal is to successfully use my existing Time Capsule (TC) with a new and more powerful wireless router. I need a new and more powerful wireless router in order to reach a distant Denon a/v receiver that is physically located in a master bedroom some 50 feet away from my modem. I need to provide this Denon a/v receiver with an Internet connection so that it can obtain its firmware updates and I need to connect this Denon a/v receiver to my network in order to use its AirPlay feature. I believe l still need the TC's Network Attached Storage (NAS) features because I am not sure if the new wireless router will provide me with the NAS like features / capabilities I need to share files between my two Apple laptops with OS X 10.8.2. And I know that I absolutely need my TC's seamless integration with Apple's Time Machine (TM) application in order to continue to make effortless backups of my two Apple laptops. To my knowledge nothing works with TM like Apple's TC. I also need the hard disk storage space built into the TC.
I cannot use a long wired Ethernet cable connection in this apartment and I cannot use power-line adapters. I have read that wireless range extenders and repeaters are difficult to successfully set-up and that they will reduce data speeds, especially so when incorrectly set-up. I cannot relocate my modem and/or primary base station wireless router.
In short, I want to use my TC with my new and more powerful wireless router. I need to stop using the TC to connect to the modem. However, I still need the TC for seamless TM backups. I also need to use the TC's built in hard drive for storage. And I may still need the TC's NAS capabilities to share files wirelessly between laptops because I am assuming the new wireless router will not provide NAS capabilities for OS X 10.8.2 (products like this/non-Apple products rarely seem to work with OS X 10.8.2/Macs to provide NAS features and capabilities). Finally, I want to continue to use my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also want to continue to use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Can someone please advise on how to set-up my new Asus wireless router with my existing TC in such a way to accomplish all of this?
What is the best configuration or set-up to accomplish my above goals?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!!!
THE FULL STORY
I live in an apartment building where my existing Time Capsule (TC) is located in my living room and serves many purposes. Specially, my TC is at least all of the following:
(1) Wi-Fi router connected to Comcast Internet service via Motorola SB6121 cable modem - currently the TC is the Wi-Fi base station that connects to the modem and has the gateway address to the Internet. The TC now provides the DHCP service for the Wi-Fi network.
(2) Wireless router providing Internet and Wi-Fi network access to several Wi-Fi clients - two Apple laptop computers, an iPod touch, an iPad and an iPhone all connect wirelessly to the Internet via the TC.
(3) Wired Ethernet router providing Internet and Wi-Fi network access to three different devices - a Panasonic TV, LG Blu-Ray player and an Apple TV each use one of the three LAN ports on the back of the TC to gain access to the Internet.
(4) Primary base station in my attempt to extend my wireless network to a distant (located far away) Denon a/v receiver requiring a wired Ethernet connection - In addition to the TC, which is my primary base station, I am also using a second extended Wi-Fi base station (a Netgear branded product) to wirelessly extend my WiFi network to a Denon receiver located in the master bedroom and requiring a wired Ethernet connection. I cannot use a wired Ethernet connection to continuously travel from the living room to the master bedroom. The distance is too great as I cannot effectively hide the Ethernet cable in this apartment.
(5) Time Machine (TM) backup facilitator - I use my TC to wirelessly back-up two Apple laptops using Apple's Time Machine (TM) application. However, I ran out of storage space on my TC and therefore added external storage to it. Specifically, I added an external hard drive to my TC via the USB port on the back of the TC. I now use this added external hard drive connected to the TC via USB as the destination storage drive for my TM back-ups. I have partitioned the added external hard drive, and each of the several partitions all have enough storage space (e.g., each of the two partitions used by TM are sized at three times the hard drive space of each laptop, etc.). Everything works flawlessly.
(6) Network Attached Storage (NAS) - In addition to using the TC's Network Attached Storage (NAS) capabilities to wirelessly back-up two Apple laptops via TM, I also store other additional files on both (A) the hard drive built into the TC and (B) the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB (there are additional separate partitions on this drive for these other additional and non-TM backup files).
I use the TC's NAS feature with my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Again, everything works wirelessly and flawlessly. (Note: the Apple TV is connected to the network via Ethernet and a LAN port on the back of the TC).
The issue I am having is when I try to listen to music via Apple's AirPlay in the master bedroom. This master bedroom is located at a distance of two rooms away from the TC's current location in the living room, which is a distance of about 50 feet. This apartment has a long rectangular floor plan where each room is connected to the next in a straight line. In order to use AirPlay in the master bedroom I am using a second extended Wi-Fi base station (a Netgear branded product) to wirelessly extend my WiFi network to a Denon receiver located in the master bedroom and requiring a wired Ethernet connection. This additional base station connects wirelessly to the WiFi network provided by my TC and then gives my Denon receiver the wired Ethernet connection it needs to use AirPlay. I have tried moving my iTunes music directly onto my laptop's hard drive, and then I used AirPlay on this same laptop to connect to the Denon receiver. I always get a successful connection and the song plays, but the problem is that the connection inevitably drops.
I live in an apartment building and all of the many wireless routers in this building create a great deal of WiFi interference on both the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands. I have tried connecting the Netgear product to each the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, but neither band can successfully maintain a wireless connection between the TC and the Netgear product. I also attempted to maintain a wireless connection to an iPod touch using the 2.4 GHz band and AirPlay on this iPod touch to play music on the Denon receiver. Again, I was able to establish a connection and successfully play music, but after a few minutes the connection dropped and the music stopped playing. I therefore have concluded that I have a poor wireless connection in the master bedroom. I can establish a connection, but it is intermittent with frequent drops. I have verified this with both laptops by working in the master bedroom for an entire day on both laptops. The Internet connection in this master bedroom proved to drop out frequently - about once an hour with the laptops. The wireless connection and the frequency of its dropout are far worse with the iPod touch and an iPhone.
I cannot relocate the TC. Also, this is an apartment and I therefore cannot extend the range of my network with Ethernet cable (I cannot drill through walls/ceilings, etc.). It is an old building with antiquated wiring and power-line adapters are not likely to function properly, nor can I spare the direct power outlet required with a power-line adapter. I simply need every outlet I can get and cannot afford to block any direct outlet.
My solution is to use a more powerful wireless router. I found the ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router which will likely provide a better connection to my wireless Internet in the master bedroom than the TC. The 802.11ac band of this Asus wireless router is totally useless to me, but based on what I have read I believe this router will provide a stronger connection at greater distances then my TC. And I will be ready for 802.11ac when it becomes more widely available.
However, I still need to maintain the TC's ability to work seamlessly with TM to backup my two laptops. Also, I doubt the new Asus router will provide OS X 10.8.2 with NAS like features and capabilities. Therefore, I still would like to use the TC's NAS capabilities to share files on my network wirelessly assuming the Asus wireless router fails to provide this feature. I need a new and more powerful wireless router, but I need to maintain the TC's NAS features and seamless integration with TM. Finally, I want to continue to use my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also want to continue to use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Can someone advise on how to set-up my existing TC with this new Asus wireless router in such a way to accomplish all of this?

In regards to a Plan B, I hear ya brother. I am already on what feels like Plan Z. Getting WiFi to a far off room in an apartment building crowded with WiFi routers is a major pain.
I am basing my thoughts on the potential of a new and more powerful router reaching the far off master bedroom based on positive reviews on cnet.com, pcmag.com and pcworld.com. All 3 of these web sites have reviewed the Asus RT-AC66U 802.11AC wireless router as well as its virtual twin cousin 802.11n router. What impressed me is that all 3 sites rated this router #1 overall in terms of both range and speed (in both the 802.11n and 802.11AC flavors). They tested the router in real world scenarios where the router needed to compete with a lot of other wireless routers. One of the sites even buried this Asus router in a media room with thick walls and inside a media cabinet. This Asus router should be able to serve my 2.4 GHz band wireless clients (iPod Touch and iPhone 4) with a 2.4GHz Wireless-N band offering some 50 feet of dependable range and a 60 Mbps throughput at that range. I am hoping that works, but it's borderline for my master bedroom. My 5 GHz wireless clients (laptops) will enjoy a 5GHz Wireless-N band offering 150 feet of range and a 200 Mbps throughput at that range. I have no idea what most of that stuff means, but I did also read that Asus could reach 300 feet and I got really excited. My mileage may vary of course and I'm sure I'm making some mistakes in my interpretation of their data. However, my Winter 2009 Time Capsule was rated by cnet.com to deliver real world performance of less than that, and 802.11AC may or may not be useful to me someday. But when this Asus arrives and provides anything other than an excellent and consistent wireless signal without drops in the master bedroom it's going right back!
Your solution sounds great, but I have some questions. I'm using OS X 10.8.2 and Airport Utility (version 6.1 610.31) and on its third tab labeled "Wireless" the top option enables you to set "Network Mode" to either:
Create a wireless network
Extend a wireless network
Off
Given your advice to "Turn off the wireless on the TC," should I set Network Mode to Off? Sorry, I'm clueless in regards to how to turn off the wireless on the TC any other way. Can you provide specific steps on how to turn off the wireless on the TC? If what I wrote is correct then what should the rest of this Wireless tab look like, or perhaps it is irrelevant when wireless is off?
Next, what do you mean by "Configure the TC in Bridge Mode?" Under Airports Utility's fourth tab labeled "Network" the top option "Router Mode" allows for either:
DHCP and Nat
DHCP Only
Off (Bridge Mode)
Is your advice to Configure the TC in Bridge Mode as simple as setting Router Mode to Off (Bridge Mode)? If yes, then what should the rest of this "Network" tab look like? Anything else involved in configuring the TC in Bridge Mode or is it really as simple as setting the Router Mode to "Off (Bridge Mode)"?
How about the other tabs in Airport Utility, can they all stay as is assuming I use the same network name and password for the new Asus wireless router? Or do I need to make any other changes to the TC via Airport Utility?
Finally, in regards to your Plan B suggestion. I agree. But do you have a Plan B for me? I would greatly appreciate any alternative you could provide. Specifically, if you needed a TC's Internet connection to reach a far off corner of your home how would you do it? In the master bedroom I need both a wired Ethernet connection for the Denon a/v receiver and wireless Internet connection for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Power-Line Adapters - High Cost, Blocks at Least One Wall Outlet and Does Not Solve the Wireless Need
I actually like exactly one power-line adapter, which is the D-Link DHP-540 PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch. This D-Link power-line adapter plugs into your wall outlet with a normal sized plug (regular standard power cord much like any other electronic device) instead of all of the other recommended power-line adapters that not only use at least one wall outlet but also often block the second outlet. You cannot use a power strip with a power-line adapter which is very impractical for me. And everything about my home is strange and upside down. The wiring here is a disaster and I don't have faith in its ability to carry Internet access from the living room to the master bedroom. And this D-Link power-line adapter costs $90 each and I need at least two to make the connection to the Denon A/V receiver. So, $180 on this solution and I still don't have a dependable drop free wireless connection in the master bedroom. The Denon might get its Ethernet Internet connection from the power-line adapter, but if I want to use an iPhone 4 or iPod Touch to stream AirPlay music to the Denon wirelessly (Pandora/iTunes, etc.) from the master bedroom the wireless connection will not be stable in there and I've already spent $190 on just the two power-line adapters needed.
Extenders / Repeaters / Wirelessly Extending the Wireless Network
I have also read great things about the Amped Wireless High Power Wireless-N 600mW Gigabit Dual Band Range Extender (Repeater) SR20000G and the My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender. The former is very powerful and the latter is easier to install. Both cost about $150 ish so similar to a new Asus router. However, everything I read about Range Extenders points to them not being very effective for a far off corner of your house wherein it's apparently hard to place the range extender in the sweet spot where it both gets a strong enough signal to actually effectively extend the wireless signal and otherwise does not reduce network throughput speeds to unacceptable speeds.
Creating a Roaming Network By Hard Wiring with Ethernet Cable - Wife Would Say, "**** No!"
Even Apple seems to warn against wirelessly extending your network (see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145#) and otherwise strongly recommends a roaming network where Ethernet cable is used to connect two wireless base stations. However, I am in an apartment where stringing together two wireless base stations with Ethernet cable would have an extremely low wife acceptance factor (WAF). I cannot (both contractually and from a skill prospective) hide Ethernet wire in the walls or ceiling. And having visible Ethernet cable running from room-to-room would be unacceptable, especially to the wife.
So what is left? Do you have a Plan B for me? Thanks in advance for your help!

If you changed your Apple ID from the old email address (that is showing up) to a new one, but just forgot to update it on your iPhone, try these steps.
1. Use your current Apple ID password
Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
Sign out of iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign back in to iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
Sign in to iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
