Networking my imac and other pc, laptop, vonage, and xbox 360 AAAAAAAAAAAH!

I posted this in the iMac intel based part before I realized it was not the iMac I have. Oh keepers of the board, I apologize.
Here is my dilema:
I need to find a way to make my iMac wireless and don't know what would be best for my set up. I have cable broadband through a rca router, which then hooks up to my vonage phone device, which then connects to my linksys WRT150N which has an emachines pc through ethernet and a sony laptop wireless connected to it. I want the iMac, which is downstairs to be hooked up to the internet wirelessly if possible and my son also has a wireless adapter for his XBOX 360 that he wants to use as well. I know this sounds tres' complicated and I have given lots of information here but if anyone knows what I should get for this situation, I would be most appreciative! Airport of some sort? Third party stuff that's compatible? I am so confused! Would a better router be the answer? and a wireless thingee for the iMac?

Simply connect the RCA modem to the Linksys router. The iMac, Vonage, PC laptop and XBox will then connect wirelessly to the Linksys. To make the iMac G4 wireless purchase the Airport Extreme card from Apple:http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=M88 81LL/A

  • I have just purchased an iMac for home - am I able to network an iMac with a windows laptop?

    I have just purchased an iMac for home - am I able to network an iMac with a windows laptop?

    It sounds really unlikely though... You have to type in your password twice when setting up so you either:
    made the same typo twice
    the caps lock was on
    You held down SHIFT during one of the letters
    the keys have relocated because of different language keyboard layout
    you simply forgot exactly what you typed.
    Are you aware that passwords are case-sensetive? also, when using punctuation in passwords be aware that language localization of the keyboard can cause relocation of certain symbols like $ and € and * and ' which may make it impossible to retype the password correctly, if you are unaware of the correct way to type a certain puntuation symbol.

  • IPad bombs out returns to home page using Google Earth and other random Apps, why and how can I prevent it happening?

    iPad bombs out returns to home page using Google Earth and other random Apps, why and how can I prevent it happening?

    Quit/close all apps and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You can try this as well.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • My iMac os 10.7.4 Lion purchased 2/12 has jerky videos.  I've tried watching you tube and other videos with Safari and Google Chrome and sometimes they don;t jerk but most of the time the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds.  Help

    my iMac os lion 10.7.4 has jerky videos.  I've tried YouTube videos with Safari and Google Chrome and the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds.  I can't watch the white house weeklky address because it stops and starts every few seconds.  The software is up to date.  Just bought this thing in February 2012.  Can anyone help me? 

    Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. Might also apply to new machines w/o AppleCare.

  • Disable Mouse and other Keys except Number and Directional keys in a screen

    Hi all,
    Recently we have developed a sceen program as per the requirements of client who are used to enter meter readings using only Enter key. They used to give Enter key to give meter readings, date of meter reading, meter reading note and consumption in their legacy system.
    Though we developed the screen as per the requirements with all validations checking simultaneously which are required but we failed to handle mouse and other keys as we have not found any specific events occured by the keys.
    Now some of the meter readers are using mouse and other keys and because of this our code is getting failed and no validations are working at all. So we want to disable the mouse and other keys except Number keys and Directional Keys while we are in the screen so that they are bound to work with the Enter and NumKeys as per their requirements.
    Please help me with an idea or code snippet by which we can solve the problem. <removed by moderator>

  • I need a read (Speak) app for iBooks, Subscriptions, Kindle and other book based information and web or instruction based books and articles.

    I have spent 3-4 months downloading, buying and searching for an app that would read my books, my magazine subscription based articles and other written information resources. I can NOT find 1 that works and the ones that are dedicated (like Kindle) will not work even on a book I bought from Amazon and chose to save to my iPad kindle app. Their is not even an app I can find for the books and manuals I purchased from my iBook account and the Subscriptions I have their. I can't even find an app that would read passages from my NEBible. Can anyone, anywhere from Earth to the farthest reaches of the Universe, advise me of an app, or apps, that I can Buy, Rent, Lease or anything else an app, or whatever, that would read my books etc. to me? This is very important to me as being disabled and having adjustments to make to get info into me is a bit harder than it used to be. I would really appreciate any and all help I can get.
    Thanks in advance - I know their has to be other people that would really appreciate and use any source for reading to help in everyday life.

  • My iTunes library is on a PC, includes items purchases from Apple but a lot that are not.  Can I sync the entire library (Apple purchases and others) with my iPAD and how?

    My itunes library is on my PC.  It has Apple purchased and other music.  Can I sync everything with my iPAD and how?  I'm having difficulties getting the "non-Apple" music sync'd.

    You should be able to sync them from your computer's iTunes to your iPad and/or iPhone. Connect your iPad or iPhone to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes to select and sync the music that you want in the iPad/iPhone's Music app

  • Ebay and other sites are slow and/or unresponsive, what can I do?

    When going on to ebay site (and some others) it either doesn't load the full screen or the green circle just goes round and round to a blank screen or the screen gets messed up and displaces the information. I can't do anything on ebay but my email works fine at good speed, amazon is bit dodgy etc.
    If anyone knows how to fix it I would really appreciate it.

  • GE70 and other MSI laptops with realtek wifi

    I was just curious why people change out the realtek wifi card.  What are the advantages of doing so?

    The standard WIFI antenna in the GE70 is a bit slow. I have a 100Mb/s internet subscribtion, but with my wireless card in the laptop I only get 30...
    So changing to a better, faster wireless card will give you a faster internet connection while being wirelessly connected! 

  • Since the 10.9 update -8058 error when copying a folder or file from a windows network server to any other location, why? and how to fix?

    I am experiencing a persistant error -8058 when attempting to copy a file or folder from any windows sharepoints to any other server location or to my desktop or locals. Am I the only one or are the others with the same issue since updating to 10.9?
    I have tried the finder plist removal suggestion- unsuccessful

    I am fairly certain that would not work for me as that is my usaul manner of mounting shares, smb:// or cif://. The enterprise servers do not automount so I commandK. Yesterday when I was troubleshooting 10.9 issues I had to have tech support unlock my account a dozen or more times. So I'm gonna give it a rest until I see an 10.9 update. In my case I don't think Mavericks is ready for enterprise/business use. I am 1 mac vs 350+ PCs.
    Thanks for you help!

  • Internet via airport and other computer via ethernet and hub

    Is this possible?
    Network 1:
    I have a macbookpro. I connect to the 'net via airport and a wireless router-modem. I use dhcp with manual address (192.168.1.5, because we have numerous computers here). All's sweet.
    Network 2:
    I need to work on a linux box which doesn't have wireless. It's a pain to connect it to the wireless router directly (although this does work), so I have an ethernet cable and hub and cable to connect it to the mbp directly. I configure ipv4 manually and can telnet etc to the linux box (which has its own ipaddress specified already) IF the airport is disconnected.
    But I want to run both at the same time. I know I can work on the linux box and surf at the same time IF I connect the linux box to the router (by ethernet cable). But what if I want to have the wireless and ethernet on my mbp together?
    Do I need to specify different ip addresses on my mbp for the ethernet and wireless? I've set it both ways and it doesn't seem to work with them either the same or different. If I go to Network Port Configurations (in Network) and move "Airport" to the top, I can surf but not telnet to the linux box. If I have Ethernet higher in the list, I can telnet but not surf. This is the case whether the ip addresses are the same or different.
    Is it possible to do what I want, or just not possible?
    No I don't have a crossover cable.

    Realised that I needed two networks with different ids.

  • HELP!!!! iMessages on iOS6 is sending messages from my iPhone to both my iPad, my other iPhone and other friends iPhones!  and receiving messages from friends on both iPhones and iPad.

    Why is the new iOS6 using iMessage and FaceTime and sharing messages across all iPad, both iPhones, and friends messages coming in are sent to all units?  SHARING???  How do you fix this?

    HI,
    On the iPhone and iPad you can "turn off" the Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Received At (and possibly) > Caller ID.
    iOS 6 will delete the email/Apple ID across all devices (you get a warning) but presumably Messages is either left alone on the Mac or you add the ID back in again.
    AS has been said you can then set up each device with it's own Apple ID

  • The colors are no longer on my calendar, I have blank boxes where delete and other actions should be, and I can no longer check the little boxes to the left of emails but the star feature does work. How can I fix this?

    The colors denoting my different calendars have disappeared.
    To the right of "MAIL" I have blank boxes.
    When I click on the boxes to the left of in box emails instead of a check mark, there is a straight line on the far left side of the box and the mark disappears as soon as you click on another entry.

    You can control this from Mail Preferences on your computer.  Open Mail, go to Preferences, and select Accounts.
    Go to your MobileMe account and select Mailbox Behaviors.  Next to Trash, select Store Deleted Messages on the Server.
