David,
The only change would be the Power Supply. Get if you can an Antec TruePower. You can get a True330W for around $55.00 and it is well worth it if you are going to upgrade from onboard graphics in the next week or so.
The GeForce4 Ti4200 is the best bang for the buck at them moment, and they are getting hard to find in the 64Mb 4X Version. If you can get one for $125.00 you are doing very well and will be very happy with your computer.
Good Luck,
Richard

I had to call Verizon and spend an hour on the phone, my Versalink is about 3 years old and I never updated it. There is a software update which makes it a little more mac friendly. Cables still run through it on the Ethernet port.

Also made sure I turned off the guest network on the APE. Once it was set up I clicked on Airport in the Airport Utility then wireless Clinets, jotted down the client I wanted to restrict access to (Kid's Laptop) then go back to Airport screen, last option on right Access then MAC Adrs Access Control change to "Timed Access", then click the + on the bottom of the window, type the MAC adrs you want to restrict and set time limits, when complete click done..... Only took me a week and a half to figure it out...... Good luck, if that doesn't help let me know, but I'm no expert...
thanks!!
i think i have the most recent 327w update, because it now shows my modem screen in a red color and it is broken into 3 sections across the screen.
as far as the AEBS is concerned, you did not use it in bridge mode at all?
i thought you had to connect 1 cable from it to the 327w? I have about 5 items i will be connecting, so i will probably run any wired from the AESB, but not sure yet?
thanks, and yaeh last time my network took me a bit of time as well!!
what kind of encryption are you running?
thanks

Need help with linking my new macbook pro with my printer

i have a new macbook pro and i am trying to link it to my also new Canon PIXMA MX882 printer. I went through installation and it said everything was complete, but when I go to choose a printer nothing shows up. I am a new mac user. please help!

It's not necessary to change your Apple ID often - maybe your password every six months or so, but not the email associated with the ID.
Have you contacted the Apple ID Support folks? You can reach them at -> http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/.
Good luck,

Need help setting up a new Usenet/Newsgroup accoun...

I have recently migrated from Pipex to to BT Total broadband 1. I use Newzbin/Unison for my Usenet downloads and currently all is working fine using the Pipex server set up. However as I want to eventually want to move all connections to BT servers I have been trying to set up a BT news account but without success. I have read many forum threads here dealing with this problem but still cannot get any connection. I have tried entering my default BT and Unison username and password but still no joy! All I get is this ...
I know the BT server name is news.btinternet.com using port 119 which I have entered but cannot understand what else to do! I guess the problem is the user/password combination I am entering. I am on a Mac OSX and have Mozilla Thunderbird for my email and have tried to set this up also but with no success. Can anyone help please?

Hi miqs.
The news server is news.btinternet.com (or as also mentioned news.btopenworld.com) and no userid/password details should be used.
You mention all is well using the Pipex server set up, do you mean that you are actually still connected to Pipex ? (easily checked by going here http://www.ip-adress.com/ ).
You need to be connected to a BTinternet connection in order to use the news server.

I need help setting up a new apple id for my 7 year old's phone

I bought my son and daughter apple 5c phones for their birthdays. My son is 7 and my daughter 4. When I tried to set up from their phone, a message said that they needed to be 13 years of age or older. Any advice on how to set this up?

New email accounts should be created and set up first with your email service provider--contact them for information about how to do that. Just making up a new address and typing it into Mail's preferences doesn't create a new email account.
Edited to add: In addition, you probably want to establish a new user account for your wife on your Mac, so that you and she have separate folders and inboxes for your mail, once she has her own account set up. Separate user accounts also mean the two of you can have separate bookmarks on your browsers, separate document folders, and so on--almost as if you each had your own computer.

Need help setting up a new email account for my wife.

I've been trying to set up a separate email account for my wife with no success. I've gone to Preferences clicked the plus sign, it then asks for full name (my wifes'?) email address (would that be the one I pick for her or my email address?) and password- I'm assuming that's the password I use to get my email. It tells me it's checking connection to mail server and then says login to "POP failed".
Thanks for the help.

Help setting up my new IPod Touch on iTunes on windows 7 64bit

Hello there,
I need help setting up my new IPod Touch to my Itunes 10 application on a PC running windows 7 64bit. I have watched the tutorial on how to do it but what the tutorial says it is supposed to do is not what is happenning for me:
1. In the tutorial it tells you to connect your ipod to your computer, then, (if it is for the first time) when the ipod appears and is selected, a window will come up allowing you to name your ipod, and begin selecting the options you wish to use.
I did as instructed but quickly came against some technical issues.
My issues:
1-1: When I selected the new iPod Touch for the dirst time I got an error message.
A) This was quickly fixed once I calld up apple support on the phone (turns out an IE browser setting was blocking it.)
1-2: With that fixed I selected my iPod Touch again but instead of the window indicated by the tutorial, I instead got an iPod registration form window.
1-3: I filled out the form and pressed the submit button (thinking everything was fine), then a new window came up that looks like this:
Free Find My iPhone
Free Find My iPad
Free Find My iPod touch

The first three lines and the first paragraph are indented as if there should be some type of graphic there, but it is missing. The underlined words indicate that they are supposed to be links, but they don't go anywhere, they are broken!
Now wheenever I connect my iPod Touch and select it the above window comes up and nomatter what I try it will not move or change.
Please help!

Need help setting up and configuring rsync

Hello
I need help setting up, or rather configuring rsync to sync data between my brand new iMac and my Macbook Air.
Here is what I would like to:
- I want all of the files on both machines to be an exact mirror or copy of each other. Basically I have an iMac for at home, and then a Macbook Air for the road.
- The main folder on both Macs is called 'Sara' and I want the contents (mainly the 'movies' folder, 'music' folder, 'documents' folder and 'pictures' folder) to immediately sync up with each other when both of them are on my home network.
- this means if I'm working on a file at home on my Macbook, it will immediately write to the same directory on my iMac and vice versa (if I'm working on file(s) on my iMac, it will immediately save the contents to my Macbook). This way, if I'm working on last minute project my iMac, and then have to head out the door to the airport, the file is immediately saved to my Macbook (no usb for USB transfer).
- hopefully this makes sense??
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

It's a lofty but unrealistic goal. Rsync does not run automatically. There is no realistic method of instantaneously synching two computers over the internet or even on a LAN.
I would suggest you might try using Synk Pro which, in theory, can keep two devices in sync when they are both on the same network (and both have shared and mounted drives.)
If you must do this with rsync then I suggest a Google search for rsync tutorials.

I got a new computer and have reinstalled Dreamweaver. I don't need to set up a new site, just need to set up reinstalled Dreamweaver to manage the old site on the company server. Does anyone have a step by step walkthrough for doing this?

The site files are on our server and I can still access them. I was not the one who installed and set up Dreamweaver initially and don't know very much about the program Just enough to manage our simple site and keep it updated. Just need help setting it up so that it's back to managing our website.

Go to Site > New Site and define your site. See screenshots:
Servers: Enter your FTP log-in credentials and remote server's root directory. If unsure, check with your hosting provider for details.
Click on TEST button. If you're unable to connect, click the More Options triangle.

How do I set up my new Macbook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover?

How do I set up my new MacBook Pro without using the annoying Voiceover? I cannot get it to work right; it seems to get stuck and repeats the same thing over and over. It is driving me nuts! Is there a way to begin the setup process without using the Voiceover system? I am a new convert from a PC and I thought a Mac was supposed to be "intuitive!"
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Pamela

There is no good reason to register your Mac anyway.
You can opt out of the setup process and registration by pressing Command (Apple key) and the "Q" key.
The registration process requires you to divulge a lot of unnecessary information.

I need help setting up an apple id for my sons phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.

I need help setting up an apple id for my son's phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.

Two different things
If you forgot the password
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up

Need help setting up outlook mail on ipad2

downloaded the outlook app, need help setting it up.

Is it actually called Outlook, or is it called Outlook Mail Pro or Outlook Mail Complete or something like that? Those apps are actually by separate companies (ie, not Microsoft), and I don't personally have experience with them, but here are links to their support sites which should have the information you need (or an email address you can write to):

Deperately need help setting up external midi devices

I need help setting up external midi devices.....Motu828...Midi express...RolandXV3080....Motif rack.......HELP

Theres not really much to setup. Assuming your synths are connected to the MIDI Express already..
In Logic, make a new MIDI track. On the left hand side in the track inspector, among the parameters you'll see an option for MIDI Port and Channel. Just pick which port the track is going to, set the channel and device id and play (And be glad you never had to deal with setting up the old Environment window in Logic 5 and below).
If you really wanna get into it and have all your MIDI ports named after the synth thats connected to it, open up Audio Midi Setup, create a device icon for each synth you have and draw the cables from each device to whatever port its connected to on the midi interface's icon.
Then in Logic everytime you pick your MIDI port on your track, instead of MIDI Port 1, MIDI Port 2, etc.,
it would be labelled XV-3080, Motif Rack, and so on.. I dont think theres anyway to do this within Logic itself (you can change the labels on your audio ins and outs, but not MIDI as far as I can recall)..
If youre talking about having access to patch names and whatnot like Digital Performer and Cubase let you do, Logic doesnt use the xml patch lists everyone else does. The above steps are pretty much all there is to be done as far as MIDI.
Heres my Audio Midi Setup window for reference.
Now when I select MIDI Port 1 in Logic its named MWXT, port 2 is SR-16, etc..

I have the G Drive 1 TB (GEN4 1TB) external drive purchased in 2010. I need to connect to my new MacBook Pro. I'm using the external drive for media storage of my video editing projects. Will a 800fw to thunderbolt adapter cable work?

I have the G Drive 1 TB (GEN4 1TB) external drive purchased in 2010. I need to connect to my new MacBook Pro. I'm using the external drive for media storage of my video editing projects. Will a 800fw to thunderbolt adapter cable work? I understand that using a USB port connection is not fast enough for video editing. I read somewhere the G Drives don't connect well to MacBook Pro.
thanks

I doubt this can be relocated or moved so you might want to just repost in the macbook pro area.
MacBook Pro
https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os?view=discussions
Can you afford a new Thunderbolt case and cable? any case with FW800 is going to be slow 72MB/sec and less, and any new 1TB drive is capable of 75MB/s minimum up to 125MB/sec.
Thunderbolt storage can of course when setup properly reach 100's of MB higher using multiple drives.
Use what you have for a system backup or for secondary backup storage.
you might be able to take the drive - most cases allow you to open and swap drives - and use this:
G-Technology 1TB G-DRIVE mini High-Speed Portable Hard Drive
