Is it possible to change the network security on an older Ibook G3 from WEP to WPA? There is no WPA option on the drop down menu.

After several frustrating attempts to connect the IBook G3 10.4.11 OS (I have no idea if that is a Lion or a Seahorse or whatever) to my wi-fi network I realized that the problem is the security setting. The only security option is WEP but my router is WPA2. Is there a work around or would it be necessary to purchase a new(er) Airplay card (which I'm not willing to do)? I also have no inclination to alter the security settings on my router as I have several other devices already connected. It's either alter the software settings on the IBook G3 or forget it. I'm also assuming that I would be unsuccessful at connecting the G3 even if I used an ethernet cable. Please verify.
I don't mind if this question is hijacked to explain the options I've already ruled out, for those who may be willing to do so.
Thanks

The iBook's 802.11b - only AirPort card can use WPA but not WPA2. The card cannot be upgraded. USB wireless adapters may be an option worth considering though I have none to recommend.
I'm also assuming that I would be unsuccessful at connecting the G3 even if I used an ethernet cable.
That's not correct. All iBooks have Ethernet ports. Using it would obviate its need for wireless security. Other than the need for a cable, Ethernet beats wireless in all respects.

It won't let me share my movie. Nothing happens when I click "share" or even in the drop down menu. I don't get options. HELP! I need this video by tonight!

I have worked with iMoive a ton and have never had an issue. I consider myself pretty computer savvy. This new iMovie is not my friend. It will not let me share my new video. I click on the project and click "share" like it says but I don't receive any further prompt. It literally does nothing. I tried the drop down menu and I see the "share" with an arrow indicating there are options but no drop down menu appears. I need this video by tonight to submit for work. HELP!

I got it to share! No reloading iMovie!
I do not have Mackeeper on my laptop
I have the movie files on an external hard drive
1. Close out iMovie
2. Eject the external hard drive
3. Start up iMovie
4. Plug in the external hard drive
5. Go into finder and double click on the folder containing the movie
6. Select the movie as if to edit
7. Share it!
I hope this works for you too

I want to build a drop down menu like the one featured here

Hi there, I am wanting to build a drop down menu exactly like the one on this site (see college information button, top right)
http://www.barnsley.ac.uk/index.php
I have a lot of content, and really like the idea of hiding behind a button at the top, and when the user clicks on it it opens up and pushes the rest of the page down!
Anyone know how?

jQuery isn't a program as much as a collection of tools and effects built in JavaScript, a "framework".
Here's a tutorial that will help you build what you're looking for:

I am trying to find the network security key for my airport extreme router

I am trying to find the network security key for my airport extreme so I can hook up my pc lap top.

I am afraid that the "key" will be of no use to you (it is 64 characters long).....but I hope I am wrong.
Since you indicate that you are using an iPad, I assume that you are also using AirPort Utility on the iPad.
On the iPad home screen, tap AirPort Utility
Tap on the AirPort Extreme
Tap on Edit
Tap on Advanced
Tap on Show Passwords
Tap on Main Network and "key" will be revealed

Finding the Network Security Key

I bought an HP laptop in August and I have a wireless router at my home. The problem is, when I stay at my father's house every other weekend, I need to access his wireless router in order to gain access to the internet to complete my school work. My older brother, who set up the router, refuses to tell me what the network security key is or where to find it. I need to know, so that I can access the internet to get work done. I haven't been able to find it by myself.

Unfortunately there will be no way to connect wirelessly to this network without having the access key.
But, you should be able to simply use a network cable to plug directly into the router. Provided no other access restrictions are in place, no wireless key is needed to access the network.

Bookmarks toolbar changed from the right side of the drop-down menu to the left. How can I change it back on Firefox 4.0.1 for Mac?

I just updated to Firefox 4.0.1. Some changes I don't like, especially that the Bookmarks toolbar opens to the left of the drop-down menu instead of the right. How can I change it?

You may have bookmarks that have long title. Firefox 4 shows the full text of the bookmark name, so if it doesn't fit with opening to the right side the Firefox will open to the left side. You can scroll through the list and make the bookmarks with a long name shorter.

Can I change the order of lines in a drop-down menu?

Can I change the order of items on a drop-down menu? Specifically, the "open" menu that comes up when I right-click on a link.
Putting "open in new tab" on top of "in new window" makes sense, of course, since it is used more often. But I do a lot of surfing, and had the old position in muscle memory. Re-training my brain to click on the first line instead of the second is taking a long time, and makes me grumbly.
I'd love to put it back to the old order. Can I? and, if so, how do I do it? (Please give me detailed instructions, IOW, please assume I am a complete simpleton, because sometimes I am.)
HP G62 w/ Win 7 home premium. If it matters, it's 64-bit.
And my old desktop, which has, yech, Vista. (I haven't upgraded it to F4 yet.)
Thanks,

Where is that drop-down list, on a webpage?
Please provide a screenshot of that issue. <br />
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem <br />
It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.
Then use the '''Browse ....''' button below the '''''Post a Reply''''' text box to upload the screenshot.

Unable to password protect file to email using Acrobat XI whether saving excel PDF or scanning document and then trying. Security Method has no drop down menu to change None.

I edited my Drop Down Menu, yet the changes arent reflected online

Hi everyone,
I created a website for a friend, and I used Drop Down Menus
for a image category. Now, I went back into the behaviors palette
in DW, and I edited the name of one of the items in the menu. But
when i uploaded my file back online, none of the changes took
place, and this was in 5 different files. Here's the site:
http://www.helenbwilson.com/
If you click on the "Portfolio" button, a drop down menu
should come out—but instead of saying "Godot and Mul." it
should only say "Godot". Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?
I already re-uploaded my "mm_menu.js" file back online. Is
there another file Im missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone
-Psy

The mm_menu.js file is not controlling it.
It is the JavaScript on the page:
function mmLoadMenus() {
After you make the changes you will need to upload the pages
you made the changes on.
BTW you might want to consider another option for that menu:

HT1918 Trying to make make account changes to my itunes account. Receive error message regarding province "enter at most 3 letters" when the only option I have is to select from a drop down menu. Cannot make changes to my account. How do I get this fix

As you can tell, this is my first post
I am attempting to make changes to my itunes account, but when I hit done, an error message "enter at most 3 letters or numbers for province" appears. I have not attempted to make any modificaitons to this field. The only options I have for data in this field are picked from a drop down menu. I have no idea why this msg is appearing. Any ideas on why it is showing up? Thanks.

Is it possible to copy data from a drop down menu instead of having to re-type all the data again?

I am trying to create a form for safety inspections. I need have a list of employees in a drop down menu format. Is there a way to copy the populated drop down menu to be used several times in the document?

Hi SwitchInc,
Yes, you can. Please refer to the Screen Shot, hope this help.

Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
Here is what I have tried...
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.

Unknown PC icon showing up in the shared drop down menu - a hacker?

There is an unknown PC "kirkshp" showing up in the shared drop down menu, that makes me worried. I have shut off my bluetooth, and airport connection for now but would like to know how this PC is connecting and how to eliminate this in the future.
Have seen many posts with this problem, but not a comparable situation as I don't even have wireless router in house - I am hooked in via ethernet but use airport when out of my studio.
Just want a simple, if temporary solution until I can learn more about network security - any wisdom out there? I would so appreciate it, thanks!

Hi
I think by Shared you mean the Shared Section in the Finder Window's Sidebar. If that's the case what you're seeing is probably because
(1) either you've joined an unsecured wireless network or
(2) your wireless network is unsecured and that person has joined your network
(3) both of you are using a freely available public wireless network
(4) your network is secured but has a weak password
(5) your network is secured with a password which has been broken
(6) your network is secured but you've given the user you're seeing the password
If (4) and (5) is the case change the password. If (6) perhaps you've forgetten? Perhaps the PC you're 'seeing' is named in a way you don't recognize as the person you gave the password to?
If (2) force users to require a password to join your network or disable the option that broadcasts your wireless network's name. That way no-one 'sees' your wireless network 'announcing' itself as such. The only way to join the network would be to manually enter its name which you would have to know in the first place. You do this using your gateway/router's web interface. Assuming your gateway/router supports this option?
If (1) you're probably looking at the person's PC whom the network belongs to.
As long as you don't enable Personal File Sharing, unrestricted SSH access or VNC then at best all they can do is 'see' another PC that happens to be connected to the same network. If you have enabled Personal File Sharing 'beef' up your passwords and begin to restrict which user/account is allowed access to Public Folders. Can you actually connect to that PC? Or is all you can do is 'see' it?
I actually don't see any of this as a 'problem'. For me this is how this part of the OS is supposed to work. Macs announce/broadcast themselves on P2P Networks using a variety of protocols - Bonjour/Rendezvous, NetBios etc. PCs do something similar. You may also find the PC that you can 'see' is not actually a PC but a Router/Gateway/Firewall. Some Thompson Gateways for example broadcast themselves as a 'PC'.

The bookmarks themselves exist. How can I put them back in the drop-down menu I have from Vista-Aero theme ?

This happens when I start Firefox (v. 3.6.28) from desktop. I ussually start it from quick launch. I have a star shaped button, top left, that works like a drop-down menu for my bookmarks. But now there's only a small window there, and the bookmarks do not appear anymore. They are stored in the Bookmarks>>Unsorted bookmarks tab. But how the hell do I get them to the drop menu ?
Did I mention that Restore doesn't ....... do anything ?
Also I haven't changed any settings in the last 2 weeks.
''Edited by a moderator due to language. See the [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Forum+and+chat+rules+and+guidelines Rules & Guidelines] .''

Staying with Firefox 3.6 is both EXTREMELY Insecure (you are vulnerable to almost every hole on [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html] since Firefox 12), and you are using a version that is significantly slower, doesn't support modern web technology, and has known bugs (crashes, freezes, etc.). If it's just the UI you don't like, you can quickly and easily change the UI to look exactly like 3.6.
So, until you update you are knowingly using an old version of software with dozens of known bugs.

How do I get a drop down menu to auto default to option selected a value other than the default written in the javascript?

I use web based software where I have to select from a drop down menu a particular option. However, I only ever use 1 option. Sometimes as much as 100 times a day. Is there anyway to get Firefox to auto select the same option every time? I don't have access to the source code so I cant change <option selected="selected" value="">.

A possibility would be a Greasemonkey script to do this automatically or a JavaScript bookmarklet to do it manually.
You would need to remove the selected="selected" from the currently selected option and set that attribute for the wanted option.
You can test the bookmarklet here:
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Element/select
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var d=document,s=d.getElementsByTagName('SELECT')[0],o=s.getElementsByTagName('OPTION'),S='selected',v='value1',i;for(i=0;O=o[i];i++){if(O.value==v){O.setAttribute(S,S);O.selected=true}else{O.removeAttribute(S);O.selected=false;}}})();</nowiki></pre>
If there are more 'selects' then you need to adjust the element number [0] and you also need to adjust the value of the wanted option.

Is it possible to change the network security on an older Ibook G3 from WEP to WPA? There is no WPA option on the drop down menu.
