My kid has "hacked" my AEBS security....HELP please!
I don' know how to set up RADIUS on my Airport Extreme, so implemented access control via MAC address of my teen's ipod touch, macbook pro and Xbox. But after the briefest of technical conversations with him about MAC address cloning, he's gone off and changed the mac addresses of his machines in the base station after somehow sniffing (or guessing the password on the AEBS). Then, after I tightened up that, he figured out how to spoof the MAC addresses of his machines (the ipod touch and macbook, anyway...don't know if you can do it on an Xbox).
How can I lock down the network without physically pulling the plug on the unit? There's got to be a way. Aren't these things used in business?
Ideas? I need help!
He doesn't have access to the AEBS any more. But the Access Control List in the AEBS requires MAC addresses. If he spoofs an address on his Mac Book Pro, AEBS has no way of excluding it from the network AFAIK, short of restricting access to ALL. Am I missing something?
Also, as for all the other advice on parenting, well, thanks, but no thanks. I don't come to these forums for that. My son is a talented future IT Engineer/Coder/Web Designer, and while I understand that everyone who is offering advice here has or has had teens that do absolutely everything they ask, precisely when they ask, without any discussion, I've had as much fun with the cat an mouse "game" of locking down the network as I'm sure my son has had trying to break it. His savvy is just outrunning my own. I've chosen NOT to "discipline" him (certainly not physically), but instead to just get smarter than him.
If the reference to "Parental Controls" was a Non-AEBS, Non-computer reference, forgive my lack of understanding. I'm looking for technical solutions at the moment.

I created a photo album on my iPhone 4s - edited photos etc. but I cannot figure out how to transfer it to my pc (using Windows 8). The only folder in the iphone drive is the one which has the Camera roll photos Help please - I really need the photos!
The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced. -

Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

This forum's veterans say "no anti-virus needed". I have not needed any despite some very accidental mis-spellings of IP adresses.
If any is felt necessary, ClamVax is free is the least intrusive of all options.
MacKeeper is effectively a virus itself to be avoided like the plague, along with anything from Zeobit.

Saved jpg image has magenta hue in browser - help please
Hi, folks:
[running photoshop cs3 under windows XP Pro/SP2]
I've been saving jpg files for years with no problems. Now I have one that has me stumped!
I have a psd file with about 14 layers, a few of which are hidden. I merge layers and then save as a high-resolution jpg. I then open up the jpg in photoshop and it looks just fine.
However, when viewed directly from my pc in a browser (MSIE 7 or Firefox 3.0.3, either stand-alone or in an html shell), the image has a discernable dark magenta hue.
Originally, I mistakenly had an extra channel in the PSD file that I thought was causing the problem. But it's removed yet the problem remains.
Note: I also saved as a GIF and PNG and the problem remained.
I'm really stuck on this one. Help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
FredFOUND A SOLUTION - CHANGED ICC COLOR PROFILE
Well, folks, I've answered my own question. The problem *was* the ICC Color profile, contrary to what tech support told me in the past (and indeed tech support pretty much told me to go take a hike in the past).
I opened the PSD, then went to file->Edit-> Convert to profile and converted to profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1 and told not to merge layers. Then I saved as a jpg and the image was perfect.
Lesson learned (no thanks to Adobe Support): when importing video frames, change the ICC Profile!
Now for the biggest laugh of the day: he said (in case#180459305) that if you copy or rename files using the filesystem filemanager (e.g., the desktop or windows explorer), that it would open the file to copy or rename it and then rewrite it, thus cause lossy image degradation.
I told him (politely) that he was wrong - that renaming a file does not open it - it simply updates directory information about the file, and that copying a file (outside of photoshop) does a byte-for-byte clone of the file and does not degrade image quality.
Where do they get these purported "experts"????

Sorry, but I don't understand what has happened. Photoshop Elements is a program installed on your computer. What is missing? Can you open the program? What happens? -

Hi,
We have just purchased Apple TV and can't connect to Home Sharing. We have wifi, the iPad is updated. I can't find the link on ITunes on the iPad that the tv is telling me to click. I've also tried turning it on via settings then music which seems to be connected. I can view YouTube clicks on the tv, but not an app so I can watch the footy. What am I doing wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
ThanksMake sure your Apple TV is on the same network as your iPad. The SSID and password of router must be set in your Apple TV.

Itunes could not connect to the Itunes store. An unknown error has occurred. (-3212). Help please!
I have tried many different things to solve this issue, but nothing works! I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes as instructed by Apple support. I have checked my firewall, but that wasn't the problem. I have changed my proxy settings and that didn't solve the issue. When I plug my Iphone into my laptop it doesn't detect my phone and when I try to check for updates a different error message occurs. Please help!
