New MBP and old PBG4 don't share Airport connection well.

Hi -
My 2 laptops are both on a wireless network via a Snow ABS.
They don't seem to be able to share the signal.
If one computer is downloading a file, the other one won't be able to connect to the internet.
Without knowing exactly what I'm talking about... I'm guessing this is a bandwidth problem?
Shouldn't they be able to share the connection, albeit at a slower transfer rate, rather than just one at a time?
Also, the MBP connection does seem to be a bit sluggish as compared to the PB, although the range is much improved on the MBP.
Any insights, suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dennis

It disables the DHCP server on the AEBS and therefore the AEBS does not create a subnet nor distribute IP addresses. The devices that connect to the AEBS request an IP address from the network that the AEBS is connected to. If the AEBS is connected directly to a DSL/cable modem, your ISP provides one IP address so therefore there is only one AEBS client allowed.

Got a new MBP and old external hard drive is too full for backup

I just got a new MBP and got all my data migrated and everything. I plugged my external hard drive in to run a backup, and it apparently is too full to run a backup of the new computer. Even though all the files are the same (mostly), I guess it's not going to overwrite anything because it's a new computer. Should I just get a new backup drive and start fresh for this computer. Should I reformat my old backup drive (and if so, how?)? Advice?

You should always have two backups of all vital data in any regard. A good 1TB Toshiba USB is $65
If there is NOTHING on the external HD you cant lose, format in disk utility > erase > format MAC OSX extended journaled.
then apply a Time Machine backup to the old HD of your new computer. That will free of a great deal of space.
However you should still have a 2nd backup of data. 2 backups is 1, and 1 is none.

New MBP and Old Aperture

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro. I bought Aperture at version 1.0 Will I be able to install the old Aperture disk and then upgrade?

Should work to upgrade to 1.5.6
If you're planning to buy the upgrade to A2.x, I don't think you even need to install 1.x. but just provide A2 with your legacy serial number.

New MBP and existing network

Hello All,
I've just migrated from a G4 PB 1.5 to a new MBP and, while I can log into the existing WiFi, I can't see any of the other nodes on the network. I have my wife's MP Black and a Mini acting as a HTPC/Server. I just migrated through using the assistant and didn't change any of the settings yet.
The Mini is sitting headless downstairs so I used to log in remotely using Chicken of the Sea VNC. Now it no longer is visible, nor do the computers show up via network.
It's been a while since I set this network up and I know that 10.4.8 has altered some of the security. What do I need to tweak??
Cheers,
JC

A router separates two LAN networks and creates two broadcast domains. The standard Microsoft workgroup browsing will only list what is inside your LAN and never something outside or across a router.
If you want to access what is on the other side you must manually enter the share with its IP address. If the computer you want to access has IP address 192.168.100.12 then you enter \\192.168.100.10\share.
But as you want to be able to share freely inside your LAN anyway, I would suggest you set up the WRT as wireless simple access point. That way, you only have a single LAN and a single broadcast domain and thus you can find all other computers if you check for other workgroup computers. Instructions how to set it up as access point are here.

Help with new MBP and iTunes

I need some help fast. I bought my wife a new MBP and in setting everything up we inadvertently setup a new and wrong iTunes account. We haven't transferred anything yet, I want to get this account off her computer before I bring everything from her Win 7 machine.
Can't find any specific instructions, can somebody help me out?
Thanks!
Mark

It's late so this will be rather short:
1. Make sure you update the older version of iTunes to the latest version
2. Go into iTunes Settings and Authorize iTunes with your Apple ID and Password
3. In settings, turn off Automatice sync
4. Connect your iPad and once recognized, right click the device from the left side of the the iTunes screen
5. Transfer purchases
6. You can then sync
A lot to digest and I don't have the time to walk you through every step. If you need to, google the points and you'll find lot's of information on where to find these in iTunes.

Brand new MBP and the user directory is corrupt?

hi, i just installd my new MBP and did a sync of my G5 settings (all except bookmarks) added a few things to my desktop and when i rebooted the desktop was cleared and the home directory was missing "Movies" "Music" "Pictures" in the left most column. all that is left is "Applications" and my user home symbol.
i tried to create a new user and when i did so was given a message that the "home" folder could not be located. weird.
anyway. i also installed a canon IP4300 driver. can anyone tell me what may be going on? do i need to erase the drive and do a fresh install?
UPDATE: i see what happened! the User directory somehow got into the Applications folder! no idea how. but i can't seem to get it out. can anyone help me out?
thx

Open the Applications folder and drag the Users folder inside to the top level of the hard disk; you may need to press the Command key when dragging the item and/or provide an administrator username and password. When done, log out and back in. If only the home folder is present in the Applications folder, move it to the Users folder. Rename existing items as needed.

Help! Brand new MBP and Mid '04 23" Cinema Display cable issue!

Just got a new MBP, and I can't figure out which adapter I need to use my trusty 23" display. The mini display port to dual-link DVI adapter doesn't look right, and I already know the mini display port to DVI adapter doesn't work.
Will the dual-link version work? If not, what do I do?
Thank you kindly in advance!

You need the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter

I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app. I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect. Hotmail works fine on Mac. Has anyone had this difficulty

I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app. I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect. Hotmail works fine on Mac. Has anyone had this difficulty and been able to resolve it?

Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back? I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.

My NEW MAIL and OLD MAIL emails get deleted at random

At least twice in the last week, all of my NEW MAIL and OLD MAIL files were deleted. Some of these are very important files. I cannot work with a system that deletes my files, so that needs to be fixed. Also, I'd like to have ny deleted files restored.

IPod updates 2 touch with the new software, and from the update they are not connected with Time phase. They appear calling but never they enter the calls. I make calls with other users and if one connects but in these two not from the update

iPod updates 2 touch with the new software, and from the update they are not connected with Time phase. They appear calling but never they enter the calls. I make calls with other users and if one connects but in these two not from the update

I use Firefox 95% of the time, and there's no problem with flash content (and I'm still at .55 - downloaded .64 last week but I haven't got round to making the change yet). At the rate they've been changing it recently it may well be out of date already .
I've been trying it in Safari, too with no problems apart from You Tube, but that's because I'm blocking Google cookies.
One thought does occur - if your Flash preferences are set to block all Local Storage, it may be that the problem site is trying to use Flash cookies (LSOs). I had this problem recently with the BBC iPlayer streaming content. Little Snitch notified an attempt to connect to a new URL - emp.bbci.co.uk.
If I disallowed it, no streaming; when I allowed the connection, it still wouldn't stream, so I did a bit of digging and came to the conclusion that it was trying to set a Flash cookie. When I unblocked, lo and behold - streaming resumed as normal.
I now have LSOs blocked in a more subtle way that lets the site think it's being set (but it ain't) and the streaming still works.
As for permissions repair - always repair from local; the permissions on the original disc will have been superceded by updates and new installations of Apple software.
DU needs to be reading the packages on the HD, not the (now out of date) install disc.
The recurring repair messages are normal and don't mean anything's wrong. As long as the final message is 'repair complete' there's no need to dwell on it.

I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

Recently bought a new computer and all my music appears in iTunes as well as on my computer in a saved folder. When I try to play the music in iTunes I get an error that reads"the song could not be used because the original file could not be found."

Recently bought a new computer and all my music appears in iTunes as well as on my computer in a saved folder. When I try to play the music in iTunes I get an error that reads"the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Hope you can help me solve this issue.
Thanks,

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

I seem to have lost some of my settings and now I cannot configure my airport connection. How do I get my settings back?

Hello. First time using this. Still trying to figure out how to post my questions. I seem to have lost some of my settings and now I cannot configure my airport connection. How do I get my settings back?

If you are using cable and a Nethear router sounds like from the information you provide before your Airport setting are setup improperly. PPoE is not something a cable service would need to work. Fallow the steps I will provide bellow, I will add some screen shots also to assist if necessary.
1 - Open System Preferences from  (Menu)
2 - Click "Network"
3 - From the Network window you are going to wanna make sure Location is : Automatic and Show is : Airport
4 - Once the Show: Airport is select you should see a window like this, my window is selected for Ethernet simply because I am no longer running Tiger but the window will look the same.
5 - You will want to click on the PPPoE tab and you should see this
6 - You're gonna wanna make sure " connection using PPPoE " is not select, if it is make sure to uncheck this option
7 - Once this is uncheck make sure to click "Apply Now"
8 - You will want to click back on to the "TCP/IP" tab and make sure IPv4 is set to " Using DHCP "
9 - If the option to " Apply Now" is available again please click this
10 - Once this is done go to your Aiport Menu and see if your network is listed and select your network and eneter the password if necessary.
11 - If after these steps you still have issues I would recommend Power Cylcing your Router and Modem for about 5 minutes
12 - Make sure all lights are off when unplugging the Router and the Modem
13 - Some Modems have backup batterys so you may have to push in a tiny button on the back with a pin

My new mac and old mac are linked, and I don't want them to be!

I had a mac and I gave it to someone and I now have a new mac which I set up in the same way. I have noticed that my internet bookmarks that I created on my old mac have been carried over, but I can see the bookmarks that the current user of the other mac is making, the other person keeps adding new folders, and it's just really weird, I don't want our computers to be linked in any way. Please could someone help me resolve this? Thanks!

If you still have contact with the person you gave it to, you may want to use the following guide (note that the reformat part will wipe out all data on the Mac including anything the new owner has added so that may not be advisable): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5189
If you don't have access to the old Mac you could deauthorize all computers in iTunes per the following: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420 and change your Apple ID password: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5624

Put SSD in new MBP and it's slower

Alright guys so this is something I've been trying to figure out but haven't had much luck. Previously I had a mid 2010 15" MBP that I put a crucial M4 SSD in. When I installed the SSD I was getting a read speed of 268 Mb/s and a write of 239 Mb/s. So yesterday I upgraded slightly to a late 2011 15" MBP and I pulled the SSD out of my old laptop and placed it in my new. I did completely wipe the SSD and reinstall yosemite. But when I run a speed test now my write is only 120 Mb/s and my read speed increased dramatically to 390 Mb/s as it should since this is sata 3 capable. My questions is why would the same SSD be slower in a newer laptop with better specs. Thanks for any help on this one!

If you run your car into a tree, do you expect the manufacturer to repair it for free? Using a MBP and drinking at the same time is hazardous multi-tasking. Don't do it.
Ciao.

New MBP and old PBG4 don't share Airport connection well.
