  • Looking for descent, affordable wired router so I can hook up XBox 360-iMac

    I just got an XBox 360, and I'd like to use the XBox Live features. Could anyone suggest a dependable, wired router that wouldn't cost much more than fifty dollars? I really have no need to go wireless, and besides I'd have to buy the wireless adaptor for the XBox 360 if I did. There's also usually at least one or two Bit Torrents running on my G5 iMac.
    More importantly, I'd like to know if having the XBox Live online would interfere with the bit torrents running on the iMac, and should I expect to see a major decrease in upload/download speed on running torrents?
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Visit DealMac and see what router deal they have located. Typically in the Sunday paper you can find several for $20 or less after rebate.

  • Looking for a compatible wireless router

    I have a Macbook and id like to hook it up to a secure wireless router.
    Anyone have any advise on what to get, anything but Linksys please.
    I was looking at the Netgear Rangemax 240 11G 240mps 2.4ghz Router Wep/WPA2 4port 10/100 switch.
    Seem like a decent wireless router for apple?
    Thanks in Advance~

    I have no idea how reliable this information is... (warning)
    I was told that Linksys routers do not work reliably with the MacBook and MBPro. One Apple technician told me he was working on a way to get around the problem.
    The reason I was asking about routers is because the Netgear router I currently use drops the signal now and again. Talk about frustrating! However, since I re-arranged the position of the router, cable modem and VOiP box, the drop outs have stopped.
    By the way, the same people told me that D-Link routers work well with MacBooks.
    To the previous poster on why NOT to consider Apple's Airport... How about the price tag? I would have one in a heartbeat if they were sold at a reasonable price. $200 compared with an average of $40 for any reliable router is enough to swing my pocketbook.

  • I am looking for a fast  gigabit router

    I am looking for a fast gigabit router that has mac supported software. I see lots of vendors selling mac routers, but not fully supporting them. Not that I ever use any of the boxed software, but I would like a company that is mac savvy.
    thanks,

    If you are patient, it appears that the new Airport Extreme base station is a gigabit ethernet router according to the new iMac's press release:
    http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/08/07imac.html
    "Build-to-order options and accessories include: a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme processor, up to 4GB DDR2 SDRAM and up to a 1TB Serial ATA hard drive on the 24-inch iMac; up to 4GB DDR2 SDRAM and up to 750GB Serial ATA hard drive on the 2.4 GHz 20-inch iMac; and up to 4GB of DDR2 SDRAM and up to 500GB Serial ATA hard drive on the 2.0 GHz 20-inch iMac. Additional options include: new Apple Wireless Keyboard and wireless Mighty Mouse; *AirPort Express® and AirPort Extreme Base Station (now with Gigabit Ethernet);* the AppleCare Protection Plan; and pre-installed copies of iWork™ ’08, Logic® Express 7, Final Cut® Express HD 3.5 and Aperture 1.5. "
    Take a copy of that to the store, and ask them when their stock of Airport Extreme base stations will include that.

  • Looking for a java-based SDK that handles file conversion to PDF and TIF...

    Hi all,
    First off, this is my first posting so I'm not 100% sure where to post this topic. So please forgive me if I'm accidentally posting in the wrong location.
    My question deals with a project I am currently working on.
    I am looking for a java-based SDK that can meet the following requirements...
    1) convert all printable file-formats (i.e. JPEG, DOC, TXT, PPT, etc.) into PDF
    2) merge multiple PDFs into one PDF
    3) convert PDF to TIF or at least do some sort of conversion to TIF
    4) works in Java or some sort of web-based language
    5) free or relatively cheap
    Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much.

    I don't think you will get one API to do them all.
    Some helpful hints:

  • New Mac user, new to Wireless - looking for recommendations on a router

    Hello all! I am new to Macs, and to wireless in general. I just bought a used Powerbook which of course has wireless capability. So my next step will be to set up a router. However, I have no experience with this, and am definitely not a computer geek at heart. So I am looking for recommendations on a router/wireless network system that seems to work well with Macs (and PC's as I now have both) and doesn't require vast amounts of computer networking knowledge to set up and get working. What works well? What should be avoided? Many thanks for your input! (Oh, if it makes any difference, my internet connection is DSL.)

    I would strongly recommend the AirPort Extreme. Its simple, doesn't do much but it does the job perfectly. It never drops out and the distance of the signal is far (you can be online in your back and front yard). And its really easy to setup. And it works with both systems. But I do recommend getting a new one instead of a used one because you'll need the newer version of AirPort Assistant to set it up because older version of Tiger doesn't have that programme pre-installed.

  • I don't have a wireless keyboard or mouse for my 2007 iMac, is there any way that can use remote desktop and access it from my 2010mbp.

    Hi champrider,
    You can use an application such as Apple Remote Desktop to control your iMac remotely. See this article -
    OS X Mavericks: Allow access using Apple Remote Desktop
    This help page will provide you with some other useful resources for Apple Remote Desktop -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I'm looking for a digital picture frame that is compatible with the iPhone 5 and 4S.  I was looking at the Panasonic MW-20 but from what I can see I don't think it is.  Any information would be great!  Looking to buy a replacement frame for Christmas.

    Hi - the new lightning connector on the iPhone 5 has an authentication chip so very few 3rd party manufacturers have come out with compatible devices - so I doubt that you will find a frame that works for both phones - however Apple has come out with 2 apapters - one is a cable and one is a direct 30 pin to lightning device - you would have to check out each frame to see if one of these might work - I looked at the Panasonic and it looks promising but I would check the return policy of anything that you buy in a case it doesn't work.

  • Can I use a wireless router to share a USB broadband connection

    Hi - I have an emac or a mac minin which have a USb boradband modem. I use airport from the emac to allow me to connect from an airport enabled powerbook when it is at home.
    Rather than getting an airport card for the mac mini, could I use that as the primary conection to the internet (via the USB modem) and then get a wirless router (eg netgear MR814) an I use a wireless router to share the USB broadband connection to the 2 airport enabled macs?
    Or do I either:
    1) need to get airport for the Mac Mini
    or
    2) Get a ethernet modem to plug into the wireless router
    Any advice appreciated?

    Sorry my first post was a little unclear.

  • I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work?

    I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work? And one more thing about the setup, the linksys router shich acts as a base is in a different room as the airport express which i wanted to use for airplay. So I'm hoping to hook up the Airport express via wireless signal. If i can set it up, can someone pls help me out by posting detailed instructions. Thanks so much!

    The first message that AirPort Utility will display during the auto setup will be that the Express will be confgured to "extend" the network. When AirPort Utility analyzes the network further, and sees that the Express cannot "extend" the 3rd party network, the next message will indicate that the Express is being configured to "join" the wireless network.
    Once the Express is configured, if you later go into AirPort Utility to check the settings under the Wireless tab, you will see that the Wireless Mode is indeed "Join a wireless network".

  • HT204409 I have a new iphone 5 and it won't connect to a wireless router that my old iphone 3GS would pick up. Is there a compatibility issue with some routers or is the antenna weaker in the new iphone 5?

    Re: Anyone still having IOS 6 wifi issues?
    created by mpa9366 in Using iPad - View the full discussion
    Having done a lot of reading today and having found a very good online tablet magazine (will post link tomorrow) there seems to be a few tech bods onto the problem.
    The magazine I was reading identified wifi problems within hours of the ios 6 release and have been analysing since then with almost daily updates - the story seems to be:
    The apple authenthication transmission is normal, it should slip through event prior to a full handshake with the host network being completed - however if not authenthicated then apple will not permit the device to connect (kills the connection) this is designed to protect apple from counterfeiting. So thats problem 1 if you dont receive a token from apple.
    Problem 2 is that ios 6 only supports ipv6 (the new ip protocol) whereas outside silicon valley a large proportion of routers modems etc are still ipv4 protocol.
    So youre locked into ipv6 in a world where ipv4 devices are everywhere and apple have not allowed for the ability to handle both protocols. This is like GM telling you your car requires an upgrade, everything will improve etc and as part of the upgrade fits a fuel cell motor and stays silent when their upgraded vehicles are simply parked up because they cannot get fuel.
    A very basic expectation would have been dual protocol handling - we know the HW supports ipv4 as all wad fine on ios5.
    So its going to be hit and miss with networks - more hit than miss in techy areas like silicon valley, but more miss in places like where I am - a small town in rural Switzerland.
    Only apple can fix this with a patch to enable ipv4 protocol handling.
    There you go. you just need to buy a new router, I'm sure Apple has one for sale, cause it's not there fault for sure.
    Wonder why people start to migrate to other devices ?

    For the Internet, you should set up a router on your modem, this router will route the packets to any device on the local area network.
    If you use the iMac as a router, like if you connect the Ethernet cable from your modem to the iMac, then broadcast a Wifi signal, the iMac will have to remain on all the time, at full power. Thus drastically shortening it's lifespand.
    A router is only about $100 or so, offers much better security as it's like a large guard, someone has to hack through router first to get your iMac or other devices.
    If it breaks, you buy another 5 years later for another $100, so your not placing all that always on wear and tear on your expensive iMac.
    Apple's airport routers are pretty good, easy to set up and have automatic firmware updates, plus music sharing etc.
    Set up properly you will be very secure

  • Look for a Good VPN router

    I trying to find a wireless router that has VPN tunneling capabilities as well as Good for gaming. And will also allow me to access my home internet while traveling .

    Look at www.polarcloud.com/tomato, in the FAQ, you will find a list of supported routers....get one of those (WRT54GL would be a good choice if you don't need Wireless N which isn't yet supported by Tomato anyway), then look at this thread for info on setting it up. The thread is lengthy, but it is worth it. The guys on Linksysinfo.org really know what they are doing.....
    This VPN uses OpenVPN (an open source VPN solution) which is as secure as any commecial solution, and very firewall friendly. It may look complex, but it really is quite easy to set up.... There is a (kind of) GUI for the OpenVPN client machines (openvpn.se).
    I think you will find it meets your needs.....
