Network question for PC owners.

Hope you can help ? I'm a newbie when it comes to networking. I have a desktop PC with cable modem and Airport extreme connected wirelessly to my PC laptop. All is working fine. Internet on both machines great. Both are XP pro using WPA2 encription.
Now...I want to share drive or folders between the two. How do I proceed ? I don't want to use the APX disc share for it,s FAT32 limitation.
Everything in this forum seems to PC to Mac or Mac to PC. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Hello Kevin Bakey. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I am assuming that the desktop PC is connected to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) via Ethernet. If so, then all you need to do is to enable File & Printer Sharing on both PCs, and then, share the particular folders on each that you want to access from the other.

Question for T20 owners regarding aux input

I'm hoping someone with T20s can answer a simple question for me. When you have two different sources plugged into the main input and the aux input, do you hear both mixed together? Or, does plugging in the aux "cut off" the main input? I've got two computers and I'd like to pipe both into just one set of speakers, and I've heard using reverse splitter adapters is a bad idea. All help is appreciated. Thanks! :-)

I'm not an audio expert but here goes. The aux does not cut off the primary input for the speaker, and you can hear both sources at once. (I have my laptop plugged into the rear and an MP3 player feeding the aux input)? I don't know that it's really a great idea since you could probably overload the speakers quickly if both sources are playing, even with transient spikes, but if you keep the volume reasonable, it probably may work fine. Best of luck.

Stolen phone reappearing on my Wifi network - questions for proof of a crime

Background info My stepdaughters phone went missing about two weeks ago. On the smart wifi there is a device list and it has a history of all devices ever connected to my network. My stepdaughters iphone appeared as "Nicole's Iphone" under my network. Similarly everyone's devices appeared with their names. The day the phone went missing my stepdaughters iphone appeared as "offline". Yesterday while playing playstation I noticed my connection was a little shotty so i decided to check how many devices were connected to the router - and i see "Nicole's Iphone" was "online". Ecstatic, i called my wife and said we found the phone. My wife calls her mom and the mom questions the two girls if they had actually found the phone. Both of them denied it. But my neice had a brand new white iphone 5 (the same color and model as my step daughters missing phone) and it was connected to our wifi under "adriana's iphone" When questioned where she got the phone from because nobody had bought it for her she said a boy at school gave it to her. about 45 minutes had passed and the phone suddenly went offline again - she called the boy to come pick up the phone because "she didn't want any problems" When we told her to tell the boy to come back with the phone she all of a sudden doesn't know his address, his last name, and he magically doesnt respond to any of her messages when using another phone. The proof of theft My neice had a phone which i had blocked internet access to because i didnt know who's device it was and i thought it was a random person. The name in the device list came up as Wendy. Wendy is one of her friends who has been at the house before. Wendy gave her that phone and she reformatted it. Even though the name in the phone was now Jackie it still showed up in our device list as Abby because the MAC address never changed. I told my neice that the reason we know it is Nicole's Phone is because the MAC address of the device is the same therefore it is the same exact device. She claimed that the phone says Jackie and it is her friend's phone and she doesnt know why it is coming up under Nicole. She doesnt know about MAC addresess at all and that it is a unique code written into the device by the manufacturer. A call with customer service I called linksys technical support to voice my security concern and they confirmed that the mac address is unique. They also confirmed that I can assume that the phone is my step daughters iphone. What i need from the Linksys Community I am going to show my family this thread later in the day. Please confirm everything that I am trying to convey. This girl is 13 years old and stealing from her own family. I need backup to show my family that I am not falsely accusing anyone of a crime. Definitive evidence is definitive evidence. While they might not be tech savvy nobody can deny cold hard facts. I dont want to paint a negative portrayal of this girl because i do believe people make mistakes and i do believe she can be a productive member of society, But the lack of remorse is pissing me off. The look on her face is like there is no way in hell i can prove she stole the phone. Help me out.

you should be able to confirm the phone id number with your cell venxor as well. check for the imei number and they should be able to verify that

A few questions for Iphone Owners...

Ive watched the videos, ive read the forums for a few days now, but still have some questions.
1) can you record your phone calls from the iphone? I havent seen anyone mention this. Can you at least record memos with it or do you have to make memos with text only?
Its nice to be able to be somewhere and record a voice memo.
2) One thing I hate about verizon is the minute long triad people get after they hear my voice mail greeting. At least when i had sprint I could go into advanced options and turn off all the crap after my voice mail greeting to spare the poor caller anymore of his/her time after my greeting. Is there a way to do this with AT&T? I swear its the wireless carriers trying to milk more than a minute out of you so they can get another minute to bill you for when you call someone from your cell phone.
3) Lastly, how is the picture quality with the phone? Ive owned a LG chocolate, a razor, a ppc 6700, a sanyo , etc and Ive yet to even be partially impressed with a camera phone. I think my LG is the closest Ive ever got to a "okay " picture. Im not picky, just a picture that isnt blurry would be nice. Is it that much to ask to take a picture of a kid that is hardly moving and not have it be blurry? Or one outside that doesent become washed out from the bright light? Im not sure what people are even using camera phones for, but Im guessing they are about as usefull as web browsers in previous cell phones (ie, worthelss). Does the iphone hold its own in this regard or is the same old cellphone camera as the rest of them?
Thanks for any replies. Just as a side note, one of the reasons im looking at the iphone is one I havent seen anyone list on the apple forum. UPDATES! Im no apple fanboy, but I give them credit for constantly fixing/improving the ipod and listening to the customers. If there is one reason above any other for owning the iphone, its that I belive apple will constantly be fixing/improving/ etc the iphone throughout its life cycle and you cant say that about any other phone mfg. The most you get out of them is some firmware updates if there is a serious flaw. And even then they only are fixing it becuase they advertised it and if they dont fix it they will get sued. My 2 cents anyway..

1) There is no voice nor video recording functionality on the iPhone
2) Sorry but I haven't actually tried voicemail yet from an incoming caller's perspective. The visual voicemail system itself is fantastic though - to be able to pick and choose the messages you want to hear in any order is great.
3) The screen on the iPhone is absolutely stunning. I actually just stared at the picture of the Earth from space that is on the screen prior to activation just because it looked so good. Videos also play very nicely though with the enhanced resolution of this screen, you will notice conversion artifacts more easily than on the much smaller regular iPod screen. But this is not an iPhone issue but rather due to the parameters set by the end user when converting video.
I am very happy I got this phone and with knowing how well Apple handles software updates, I know even this version 1.0 hardware will get even better.

Network question for IPhone 4

I want to buy IPhone 4 unlocked factory from USA, but I am not sure its work with TCI Network in Iran.
So could you please follow me about this question? Please tell me which version is compatible with our network.
Thanks

Ok but very expensive in other country? You have a 2 choice in US, first buy with AT &T with low price and the other buy from store without AT &T 650$ the second way is locked? What is different between 2 ways?
the difference between the 2 is one is a subsidized price with a contract of 2 year commitment. Which is locked to AT&T.
the other one is the no commitment, which means it is still locked to AT&T but that you don't renew your contract that way.
Either way All iphones in US are carrier locked to AT&T and it can not be unlocked at all.

Question for MacBook Owners...

Sorry to bother you, but I am in my early 20's, fresh with student loans and cannot qualify for a Mac Credit Card...
Do you know if Apple has payment plan options other than on their credit card? (This would be my first Apple Comp, switching from Gateway) and any response would greatly help. Thank you.
Gateway Laptop Windows XP N/A

Apple does offer finance plans and they do every now and then offer specials on financing. For instance, interest free over 10 months.
Probably the best thing you can do is to call the Apple Store and ask then what they can offer you that suits your budget.

Question for an owner of Zen Vision

I'm considering buying one and I like most of the things I've read. It's now between the iPod Video and Vision M. But I have an iRi'ver and there's a major problem with the random function. It will only play from about 200 songs, all with titles at the beginning of the alphabet, because I have a lot of music. I need a player that will select randomly from ALL of my songs. Can the Vision M do this? I'm pretty sure the iPod can.

everything they said is right, the player is awesome.............
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
the vision m has been having some serious (and i do mean serious) reliability issues...tons and tons of failing units (known as the black screen of death somewhere around here) problem that neither CL nor the users have been able to solve. One day you are a happy camper with it and the next day BAM! the player is completely dead and the only solution there exists is to change it for a new one (RMA'ing it). To prove it you can just search within this forums or search in google for: zen vision m freezes or zen vision m freees booting and you will find some links directing here with topics of people who have had the same problem as me...a DEAD zen vision m...
hope i didnt spoiled the idea of getting one
greetings

Email question for E72 owners

Before buying I'd really appreciate knowing if there is a way to access your email on the E72 without using the Nokia Messaging service. Using the Nokia Messaging program is fine, but can you just define a direct link to your IMAP, POP and MfE accounts, with no restriction on number of messages or days stored, and save the messages to your memory card? Thanks.

Great, thanks for the info. I have an E71 and a N97, and I've tried Nokia Messaging; html is great and all, but I need to keep several hundred messages on my phone going back for a few months, and I also can't take the chance that the Nokia servers are down or there is a delay at all in receiving something, so I always wind up back with the standard text client. I only need push email on my MfE account, which is pushed anyway, so if the E72 can act like a standard client I can forgo getting a Blackberry. I heard mixed accounts of how this works on the E75, so I was worried the E72 might adopt some problems. Thanks again.

720p question for existing owners

I was wondering what will happen if you try to export a 720/30p video instead of 720/24p. Will iTunes accept to upload it to the device, or will it bail out?
I know that the AppleTV supports up to 5Mbps 720/24p h.264 files. However, it is theoretically possible to export at 720/30p instead using a smaller bitrate (e.g. 4Mbps) and to still playback smoothly, because less bitrate means less data to decode and so it goes easier on the CPU. Problem is though, if iTunes does not even allow the user upload to the device such a 30p file, it's pretty limiting! You see, I have an HDV camcorder which shoots at 1080/60i and this means that the "right" exporting solution for 720p is 30 fps, not 24. If Apple has really restricted the ability to upload 720/30p videos from the get-go (without even taking bitrate into account), then people with HDV camcorders are screwed.
So, if someone has some time, please export a video to 720/30p instead of 720/24p **with 4mbps bitrate**, and please report back if iTunes allowed you to export it to the device, and if yes, does the device actually play the file smoothly or if at all?
Thank you for your time.

Sorry, I don't agree. When I shoot at 1080/60i, I need 30fps. If I wanted to export at the jerky, non-native IVTC 24fps, I would shoot that way. But I don't.
Your 720p/24fps movies are jerky because you have converted them from 30 fps not because 24 fps is jerky, the conversion you are undertaking is removing frames some software is better than others at this but none of it will ever make a good job of it.
If you want smooth 24 fps playback you need to shoot at 24 fps.
If your source is already 30 fps you need to convert it to 960 x 540 @ 30 fps and not 1280 x 720 @ 24 fps to make it compatible.
Incidentally, I've found that the tv seems to accept 720p/25fps even though this is outside of the specs.

Question for 5530 owners

Does your phone light up when you receive a text message?

Well, AFAIK you cant remove the "add" until you fill all 20. You can leave only one if you like. As for apps, check out

Question for MBP owners that span their desktop

I recently ran into the following bug with the latest beta of Parallels (http://www.parallels.com):
With the PW console window in my main iMac display, the mouse and keyboard work as expected (need to hit Cntl-Option to release keyboard and mouse from the console window). When I drag the window to my second monitor (I span displays with my iMac), any mouse click within the console window will release the keyboard and mouse (rendering the mouse useless within the Guest OS).
I'm wondering if a MBP user can duplicate the same issue I am experiencing on my iMac.

That's tempting, but without full-screen and without video acceleration, I'm leary of putting time into it. I perused the forums briefly and it seemed (subject to my vague recollection) that there were a lot of shortcomings that the developers plan to address before the final release.
Maybe if I get bored enough… Like that's going to happen…

Quick question to 5310 owners: T9 languages

Hello,
this is an easy question for 5310 owners. Can you tell me if there are both Dutch (Nederlands) and Italian T9 dictionaries on the 5310?
I live in the Netherlands but I am Italian, so I want to be sure, before I buy the phone here, that the Dutch model has the Italian dictionary (this was not the case in the 1600, but it is a much cheaper phone).
Thanks in advance.

May be you can ask a retailer or a friend. Some retailers might bring a phone from a different country and sell in your country. So it's better to ask your retailer, but languages are firmware dependant most of the time and hence you might be able to get the desired languages by updating firmware too.

Question for C6-01 owners

Hello. I just received shipment of a C6-01 from Nokia. I like it... build feels good, it seems as good as all the Nokia phones I've had before. But I have a question for those who have the C6-01. When you look at the camera on the back of the phone, is the LED flash mounted at a slightly different angle than the camera lens? On this new phone it looks like the flash is on slightly different plane. If you would look at your phone and tell me if this is consistent I would appreciate it... I want to make sure this one's not damaged.

Hard to show in pic... hopefully you'll get the idea.

Question for S10-3t owners

Hi Folks,
I'm seriously considering purchasing an S10-3t, but I have a question for you.
Is there a reason everyone is choosing the low-end model?
I'm looking at the one with 2 GB, faster processor, larger hard drive, Windows 7HP, Bluetooth.
I've priced it out and it is about $110 more than the best price I've seen for the low end model ($399). It seems like the price difference is probably worth it.
Note: I am pricing it out with and additional 8 cell battery to go with the 4 cell it comes with, and there is currently a 15% off promotion until June 3
Faster processor: $10?
Extra memory: $30
Windows 7 HP upgrade: $80 (according to Microsoft)
Bluetooth: $15-30+ (Seems really handy for 3G tethering and/or external peripherals)
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
Thanks!

The following is from a post I put on the forum on March 17.   The prices shown is what the models cost at that time.
I originally bouth the S10-3T with the N450 chip and 8 cell battery from a retail store in US. I returned the unit to the store and opted for the S10-3T with N470 chip and 4 cell battery. Lenovo includes Windows Home Premium and Bluetooth.
I bought the 8 cell battery as I was not sure which I would prefer. The 4 cell battery is nice because its flush with unit. Its good for me during my daily commute. The 8 cell battery is definitely needed for long trips. The 8 cell sticks out and is personal choice if you like the added bulkiness.
Prior to returning the N450 model, I recorded the Windows Indexing results and ran Geekbench. For those deciding which model to purchase below is a benchmark and average price comparison of both machines.
