Hi MandaManda1021,
Oh My !
Ok Start with going to System Preferences > Network
In the second of the two drop downs select the method your Mac is connected to the next device "up" towards the internet.
Use Airport to a Apple Airport Base Station OR a Wireless router or modem. (Built-in Ethernet if cables or leads are used)
Select the TCP/IP tab so it is Blue if it is not the first tab.
Tell us what it says at "Configure IPv4" please.
Tell your IP which is shown under that please.
Also this screen will tell you what the "router" IP.
(in the case the word Router could mean the box that connects to the internet (modem) ).
At this point the "router" IP could be an Address from your ISP (Internet Provider). You can tell by the IP that is shown.
If from one of these groups it is from the device itself.
Anyhting starting with:
10.xxx.xxx.xxx
192.168.xxx.xxx
172.16.xxx.xxx through to 172.32.xxx.xxx
Apple's own Airport devices are normally 10.0.1.1 for instance.
A Linksys device is likely to be 192.168.1.1
Next tell us if there are two devices between your comuter and the internet (modem and router)
Tell us the make and Models please.
Next tell us anything you know about how they were set up to communicate with each other (even if this is "we just plugged them in and wired them together" as this will tell us they are in default mode).
Some reading.
This is page 4 of my Site. It starts with the ports that should be opened in the Mac firewall if it is ON.
It goes on to tell you how and where to look for information.
If you think you are making progress then read this FAQ
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=527902 and post back the answers to the questions posed. Numbering the answers will help.
It will also help if you tell us which ones you don't know how to find out.

Apple says Reminders works with Outlook, but I can't find where the lists are displayed in Office or Outlook once they are synced.

Apple says Reminders works with Outlook, but I can't find where the lists are displayed in Office or Outlook once they are synced. Any suggestions?

I'll guess you've already discovered the answer to this, but just in case:
Reminders works with Outlook tasks by syncing with iCloud, or through Exchange. You can't sync iOS Reminders with Outlook Tasks via USB/iTunes (like you can do with Notes, Calendar, Contacts).
So the marketing material on Reminders is a little misleading in that it's not specific enough -- there is no syncing without one of those intermediary systems mentioned above.
On a side note, syncing Tasks/Reminders via iCloud is not very good in my opinion:
Requires that you sync to the cloud, even if you have no other use for storing personal data in the cloud.
Requires that the iCloud Control Panel be installed on your PC (not sure about Mac).
After syncing, you'll find new Calendar and Task groups called "iCloud" have been created in Outlook. The calendar groups appear to be created even if you're only syncing Tasks/Remminders (not sure why).
Reminders are stored in the new group (noted above) called "iCloud" rather than in your default Tasks group. This seems to me to be a sort of "parallel" sync, rather than a true sync with Outlook. There are oter implications of your synced tasks being in the new group that I won't go into here, but you can search the interwebs to learn more.
In my own case, I tried iCloud syncing, decided that I didn't like it for the reasons stated above, and then uninstalled (Control Panel and new Outlook groups) with no apparent ill effects.
Though I don't guarantee you'll have the same results, it might be worth a try to see if it suits your purposes.

My Telus wireless only works with WEP, but if I switch to WEP the wireless goes down on the other Windows computer being used in the same house. Is there a way for both of us to get wireless internet or do one of us have to be connected by the ethernet?

My Telus wireless only works with WEP, but if I switch to WEP, the wireless on the other computers in the house (which is Windows and WPA) stops working. My computer works with the ethernet cord but I want to be wireless too! Do one of us have to sacrifice our wireless?

For assistance in getting your MacBook to connect to a WEP-protected wireless network, please check out this Apple Support article: AirPort: Joining an encrypted WEP or WPA Wi-Fi network

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

HT2736 I'm trying to send my sister who lives in the UK, a birding app, but when she tries to load it onto her iPhone, it complains and says it was purchased in the US, and cannot be loaded in the UK. What kind of nonsense is this? What's the solution?

I"m trying to gift my sister who lives in the UK a birding app, but when she tries to load it onto her iPhone, it complains and says a US purchased app cannot be loaded into a UK iPhone account. What kind of nonsense is this? what's the solution?

You can currently only gift content (apps, music, gift certificates) to people whose account is based in the same country as yourself - so if you and your account are not UK-based then you can't gift to a UK account holder. You can either try resending it to somebody who is in the US with a US account (resending) or try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Is macmini enough for a musician that works with logic pro and 10 plugin softsynth at the same time?

I use to work with a music platform like garageband or logic pro and at the same time I am working with a lot of plugin software like toontrack, ik multimedia, musiclab, native instruments etc. On my PC which has the same specification as macmini i7 2.3GHz this was a big problem especially when I was selecting effects like reverb, chorus or compressor so I had to export tracks all the time. What is the minimum specs that I should have to work without any problem? Any help will be appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
For what you want the Mac, the Mac mini is OK. It has got a quad-core processor that will give you the performance you need and 4 GB of RAM that you can extend to 16 GB, apart from a removable hard drive.
The problem is the GPU, but as the applications you are going to use don't require the best GPU, it will work properly. If you want the Mac mini, go for it. An iMac may give you better performance, but the Mac mini is correct.
If you buy it from Apple, you have 14 days to return the Mac mini if it doesn't work correctly with the apps you need

Why Doesn't Project TV woek with IE but not Firefox? I tried the "Proxy" suggestion with no results.

Project TV works fine with IE. It used to work with Firefox but no longer. I tried the "Proxy" suggestion and clearing History with no results?

scher2000
First and foremost, thank you for your help and concern. It is appreciated.
Project TV works just fine with IE but will not work at all with Firefox although it did work a few days ago. I have tried::
Clearing History, as suggested,
Changing the "Proxy: settings, as suggested
This has been all to no avail.

Also, my WOW Speed test works fine with IE but not with Firefox; I just ried it on both.

I prefer Firefox but it appears to be giving me problems resulting in having to use IE.
Again, Thank you.:

Strange on - Wake on LAN (WOL) works with Win2K3, but not Windows 7

Hi,
I have a PC that I originally had Windows 2003 on. With Win2K3, I can send a wakeonlan (magic) packet (WOL) and get it to power on remotely from my home network/LAN.
I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, in a dual-boot configuration, i.e., so I can boot the machine to either Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit or Win2K3.
As mentioned, I can power the machine up remotely (from my home network/LAN), but if I've LAST booted into Win7, then shutdown, it doesn't respond to the WOL packet.
I've confirmed that if I boot into Win2K3, then shutdown, the WOL works fine.
I have another PC that has both Win2K3 and Windows 7 (also dual boot), and that works fine with WOL.
One difference between the one that doesn't work vs. the one that works is that the one that works is a machine that I just built a couple of weeks ago, which uses an MSI 880gm-E43 motherboard.
The one that doesn't work also has an MSI motherboard, but it's an older one, an MSI K9NBPM2-FID.
I've cross-checked the various Windows power management settings between the one that works, and the one that doesn't work, but I just can't get WOL to work with Win7 on that older machine. I've even turned the Windows Firewall off completely on the machine where WOL isn't working, but no matter what I've tried thus far, no joy :(...
The only thing that I can think of is that the network card driver (it's the MS one, from the Win7 distribution) might not work with WOL, but I've checked, and it's the latest driver from MS (Nvidia Nforce Networking Controller - 10/17/2008 - 1.0.1.211), and MSI doesn't have a specific Win7 64-bit driver for this motherboard.
So, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas about this?
Is there some registry setting or something that might allow WOL to work?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi,
Unbelievable!
Just for the record, I got WOL working with the older machine, JUST after I posted the original msg.
Here's what I did:
- I was in Device Manager, and did Update Driver, but
- I selected to let me choose, and then I checked the "Show Compatible devices" checkbox
Then, a 2nd, older (10/6/2006 - 6.2.0.127) driver appeared, so I figured, "what the heck?" and tried that. I then shut the machine down, and sent a WOL packet to it, and kind of forgot about it (machines in a different room), but a few minutes later "bing!", the machine had powered up and booted into Win7!!
Anyway, as I said, for the record, and hope that this helps someone in the future.
Jim

Airport Extreme working with iMac but not with Windows 7 Laptop!

My iMac (OSX 10.5.8) has been working fine with my Airport Extreme, but a new member of our household cannot connect wirelessly with their Windown 7 Laptop. The PC can see the wireless name for our household and says it is connected to it, but there is a problem actually connecting to the internet. Has anyone experienced similar problems? We are at a loss as to what to do. Applecare were no help (despite forking out for the advanced applecare warranty) and both Mac and PC service providers blame each other. Any advice would be much appreicated. Surely the Airport Extreme can talk simultaneously to PC and Mac wireless computers?

I have had the same issue. Airplay working with all devices apart from one windows 7 (the actual media server) and have spent over a week trying to resolve it.
This worked for me.
Turn off windows firewall and in my instance macafee. Be warned while macafee says that it's off there are services running all the time.
You will need to open macafee settings and turn off access protection first
Then search services from start bar
Open services and filter by manufacturer
Stoop all macafee services
Right click the start bar
Open task manager
Stop all macafee processes
Try your airport utility you should now see your express
If you can you will see your icon in iTunes
This pores that it's likely to be a macafee issues. Of course you do not want to leave the firewall off so I installed macafee and installed a fresh copy turning both the windows and macafee firewall on with no resultant issues
Hope this helps

I upgraded for Firefox 4 and now my simplePass identity protection (biometric scanner) on my laptop will not work. WHY? It still works with IE but I don't use IE.

I upgraded for Firefox 4 and now my HP SimplePass Identity Protection (biometric scanner) on my laptop will not work. WHY? It still works with IE but I don't use IE. It worked with the previous Firefox version but now when I use the internet, it doesn't even acknowledge I have the scanner. When I run my finger over it, it opens the settings panel but does not allow use of the already saved information or allow new information to be entered. I need this corrected. Any suggestions?

I asked this same question, and just received a response:
"Thank you for contacting DigitalPersona. There will be no update releases
for DigitalPersona Personal in the future. There will be no updates for
Firefox 4 nor Internet Explorer 9. IF they work they work, if they do
not work with DPPersonal, then you will have to decide to either keep
DPPersonal and forgo Firefox 4 or IE 9, or vice versa. DigitalPersona
is leaving the consumer market and is focusing on business applications.
In fact, DigitalPersona Personal will not longer be supported after
Mid-April of this year.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. Sincerely, Tech Team "
In other words, there will be NO update.

My iPhone no longer works with my wi-fi network. It detects the network but can't communicate, even though it did so until today for months.

My iPhone no longer works with my wi-fi network. It detects the network but is unable to communicate, even though until today it worked great for months. The network is Verizon FiOS Internet on an M1424WR router. PCs and iPad continue to work with the same network without any problem. Any ideas?

have you upgraded to the new ios5 software? if so that could be the issue and contact apple.
