New timecapsule need help with start up

I recently switched to an iMac from a Dell and now am trying to add a timecapsule primarily for automated back up although if I can use the print feature that would be a nice added benefit. I have a modem/router from Consolidated Communications which is located in a different room than my computer. My preference would be to have the timecapsule located with the computer so that I can back up more quickly over ethernet and have my printer plugged into the timecapsule so that my iPad and other laptops can access it. Is this possible? I have tried setting the timecapsule up wireless as well as plugged directly into the router, in both cases I cannot get a valid ip address and then have trouble with my iMac accessing my existing network as it tries to connect through the timecapsule rather than to my current network via the built in airport. Thanks in advance for your help.

Can I join that network wirelessly so that I can have the TC in the rom with the computer (far from the router/wireles modem) and still use ethernet connection and USB for printer?
Yes, with two caveats: 1) It will really depend on the distance and what obstructions are between the other wireless router and the TC to determine how well the TC can connect to its wireless network, and 2) Configured to join, the TC's Ethernet ports will not be enabled. However, its USB port will.
These two items may preclude it being the desired end state that you are looking for. Typically to enable the TC to also provide network connectivity (either by wire or wireless), it would have to be configured for a WDS. Unfortunately, most non-Apple routers are not WDS-compatible.
This leaves you with at least two choices: 1) Connect the two routers by Ethernet or if that is not practical or desirable, consider Powerline adapters, or 2) Configure the TC as a standalone wireless router. With the second option, you would have to switch wireless networks to print or perform Time Machine backups ... again, not a viable solution.
I would suggest considering the Powerline adapter approach for your situation.

New User needs help with starting SDK

I downloaded the J2EEsdk-1_4 files and completed the installation. I have looked at all the tutorials and quick-start documentation, but cannot find how to begin building an application. All I needed was very minimal Java parts to write a "Hello World" program for a class, but it prompted me to get the whole package.
How do I get to a prompt window to write some code, then compile it, then run it? I tested the local server as it suggested and it is working, and I ran their sample program and it worked.
I just need a pointer to get me started. I don't need all the web deployemnt stuff, etc....
Sorry for the silly questions but you gotta start somewhere.
Thanks

Brent In Iowa, you're on the Air.
Thanks for taking my call, Larry.
Umm, yes, I'd like to ask Mr. McNealy a question.
Go ahead.
umm, yes, Mr. McNealy. I like your language
Thanks, Brent. We hope with developers like you, to make it the most widely used language in the world. It's people like you that will helps us squash that bastard Gates and make me...umm, I mean Sun Microsystems the richest company known to man-kind.
Yeah but that's my problem Mr. McNealy. How do I write Hello World?
First, Brent, ya gotta download the right SDK. Not the J2EE but the J2SE. Then ya gotta follow the links on the let for the tutorials.
Thanks for your question. Our next caller, George is in Boise, Idaho. Hello, Boise.

THanks for the help.

Your friend is right. the iPod cannot be used to update iTunes. I had the same problem about a year ago, and I just transferred each song using my jumpdrive. It's painstakingly boring, but it will work without wiping anything clean.

New User: Needs Help with getting started with the Z

Hi, my son got a creative Zen for xmas, only getting round to getting it together now, and having some problems with the manual. All this is new to us -technology etc. We have managed to rip a CD but cant get any further! Downloading from internet sounds like such a good idea, but 'know-how-to do' seems light years away in this house! Is there an easy start manual or step by step directions that I've missed out on somewhere? the quick start manual is fine for learning how to use the player but doesn't give any info on ripping CDs and whatever comes after. Can any of you 'experts' bring yourselves back to the begining and explain what to do in simple english?

Mother,
I moved and edited your message as your are more likely to get help out here. As far as suggestions go for downloading from the internet goes, there is not a lot of difference between getting it from CDs. The main difference is the process of actually getting the music.
First off there are several music stores out there and some that are free. Here are a few suggestions (this is all personal knowledge, this is not an official endorsement of any of these):
Napster - Integrates into Windows Media Player if you desire and can transfer directly to most Zens. Also allows a user to subscribe to an account that allows for streaming and computer only downloads of music (must purchase song to transfer to the player...usually around .99 a song)
Buymusic.com - Website interface that sells individual tracks and albums.
Wallmart music store - Website interface that sells individual tracks and albums.
There are others but these three are the mains ones (outside of itunes, which is designed for the Ipod).
Basically once you download them, you go into MediaSource or Windows Media Player and add the files to the music library. Then you just transfer like you do with CDs.

Cleaning up my new Thinkpad need help with what to Uninstall

So I finally got my new thinkpad T520 set up with Windows 7 and I currently have all the prepackaged Lenovo Programs and thinkvantage tools installed. I am trying to optimize my system right now and I am wondering which programs I should keep and which I should delete.
I already have Revo uninstaller, CCleaner, and ESET NOD32 smart security antivirus so I already have some good utilities to clean my system.
Basically if anyone could help me determine which lenovo programs to keep and which to uninstall I would be very greatful. I dont need this computer to be a screamer, but I would like a stable computer that is as fast as possible.
Thanks

from your list, i don't use the following:
Screen reading optimizer
Simple tap
Solution Center
AutoLock
Communications utility
truthfully, Lenovo's factory load is lighter than most every other OEM load i've worked with.
if you want to further optimize your machine's running state, you should have a look at the blackviper site to dig through your running Windows services. even if you choose not to modify anything, it's quite educational. http://www.blackviper.com/
you can also go through your system's start-up programs and what-not. apps like acrobat reader install update checkers that load at every boot and run in the background. i like a Microsoft tool named Autoruns for this task. it's part of the Sysinternals suite. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/sysinternals

New user needs help with HD choices

I just found this forum and it looks like something I am going to enjoy. I have Premiere Pro CS 5.0 and use it to process AVCHD video. My hardware is made up of Asus P9X79 Pro, i7 3930k, 16 GB memory, and GTX 470 vid card. I also have an SSD as my main boot drive - it is an OCZ Revodrive.
I would like help in setting up my hard drives for the Adobe software, so have listed my storage drives along with current usage and ATTO benchmark results:
Drive 0 - Revodrive - ATTO = 800 - Used for Win 7 -64 Pro and Adobe software
Drive 1 - WD Black 2TB - ATTO = 140 - Used for MTS file storage
Drive 2 - WD Black 2TB - ATTO = 140 - Used for Scratch Files
Drive 3 - Samsung 1TB - ATTO = 60 - Used for Finished files (Encore files and for saving MP4 files for web upload)
Drive 4 - WD Black 1TB - ATTO = 120 - Used for backup
Drive 5&6 - 2 each Hitachi 750GB in Raid - ATTO = 180 - Used for backup (Drives are attached to Marvel Raid port on Motherboard)
I realize that drive #3 is the slowest drive and should probably be used for other things. I am open to suggestions.

Happy New Year and wecome to the forum!
Sounds like a strong system, and it should be just fine for AVCHD video.
Suggest:
Boot / OS / programs - Revodrive is fine; you can also assign media cache and media cache DB (CS5 setting) to this drive
Data drive - create a RAID 0 array from your current drives 1 and 2 - use this for projects and media, and pretty much whatever other data needs you have for your PC
scratch / output drive - use for current matching 5 & 6 Hitachi's in RAID 0 for scratc and render outputs
all others - use 3 & 4 for backups
You should probably run PPBM5 and report the 4 "scores" to the PPBM5 site and also back here to get a reality check that everything is configured and working properly for your system.

Need help with starting over in LR

I realized that my importing process is creating an image folder structure in LR that does not mirror my HD image folder structure, so I need to begin again. Thankfully I just started and only imported a couple hundred photos w/o many edits and have created 6 folders.
My question: what's the best way to clean out LR for a new start? Should I simply delete the LR catalog then reimport? Or should I delete the images from LR (leaving them on my HD, of course) then reimport? Does it even matter which route I choose?
Finally, to get the folder structures to match (LR folders and HD folders to mirror each other), what do I need to do? I have thousands of photos I will be eventually importing, and I want the file structure in LR to match my HD. The top images folder on my HD is simply called "PHOTOS." Beneath that is "FAMILY" "STUDENTS" and "PHOTO SHOOT" and then there are subs below those.
If I bring in the top "Photos" folder, all the others will follow and then I will have thousands to process in one import, and I know this would not be the way to go.
So, how can I match the folder structures while only importing a handful at a time? Do I somehow create a folder in LR called "Photos" or do I import the actual "photos" folder from my HD. Just a little unclear about all this and appreciate any advice.
Thanks.

I realized that my importing process is creating an image folder structure in LR that does not mirror my HD image folder structure, so I need to begin again.
When you do an import, the LR folder structure automatically matches your HD structure. You only get this problem if you move or rename the folders/photos in Windows Explorer or Mac Finder. For a beginner, you probably shouldn't be moving/renaming photos/folders outside of Lightroom; you should move photos/folders inside of Lightroom.
My question: what's the best way to clean out LR for a new start? Should I simply delete the LR catalog then reimport? Or should I delete the images from LR (leaving them on my HD, of course) then reimport? Does it even matter which route I choose?
If you delete the photos from Lightroom and reimport, you lose a lot of information. This is not recommended and should definitely be a last resort, only if you can't fix the Lightroom catalog. It is relatively easy, since you don't have a lot of photos, to fix this in Lightroom ... for each folder that has a question mark indicating it doesn't know where the photos are, right-click on it and select Update Folder Location. Then, stop moving your folders/photos in the operating system.
Finally, to get the folder structures to match (LR folders and HD folders to mirror each other), what do I need to do? I have thousands of photos I will be eventually importing, and I want the file structure in LR to match my HD. The top images folder on my HD is simply called "PHOTOS." Beneath that is "FAMILY" "STUDENTS" and "PHOTO SHOOT" and then there are subs below those.
As I said, you stop using Windows or Mac to move or rename your photos and folders. Problem solved.
However, I believe you have adopted a fundamentally flawed and inefficient approach in your use of folders. In Lightroom, folders are no longer organizing tools; they are simply storage locations. Lightroom gives you much more efficient and superior organizing tools (keywords, metadata, collections), and it is best if you abandon these thoughts of organizing via folders. Instead, you make these descriptions into Keywords in Lightroom, and you leave your photos in whatever folder they happen to be in, with whatever name the folders currently have. Keywords are not limited the way folder hierarchies are ... a photo can be in only one folder and one hierarchy; whereas a photo can have many keywords and exist in many hierarchies. This gives you the ability to search on many many different criteria in Lightroom, which is much more flexible.
So to sum up ... fix your catalog, as described above. Then, do not think about folders; do not rename or move folders; just leave them exactly as they exist. From this point on, you organize with Lightroom tools.

New user: Need help with my phone. iSync on a G3 with OSX 10.3.9

Hi guys, this is my first post on this forum, so take it easy on me. LOL I just got a Sony Ericsson W810. I found out that I need to get iSync. Aparently iSync 2.2 is the program I need. Is this available for my version of OSX? I'm not sure if a new version of OSX is compatible with my G3. Any help? Much appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discusssion.
iSync 1.5 is the version which shipped with and works with Mac OS X releases prior to 10.4 - iSync 2 and later packages are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.3.9 or any release of the OS. With Mac OS X 10.4 and iSync 2, came a completely new synchronization technology: the Sync Services framework.
You can find out what, if any, options exist for SONY Ericsson users here, at Julian Wright's excellent site:

Downloaded new software; need help getting started...

I get many pages with all the new info but I just want to make a call. No symbol or sign about where to make a call
Hardware: Laptop windows 7, Lenovo; I also have a fullsized HP tabletop and an iPad.
Oper.sys: Windows 7 on laptop, Windows XP on table top (use it little)
Skype version: latest I think downloaded today.
Internet: Xplonet satelite.
I am not very good at computers but I know that when I opened Skype I had a sign to press to make a call. Now nothing only Explore Prices Downloads and Help. But no help only answers that mean nothing to me. How can I learn this completely new system?
Thanks for help.

Are you sure that you are logged in to Skype application installed on your computer and not just to your Account page on the Web. The last will not provide you any access to your contacts or call option.
What exactly is the version of Skype installed on your computer? In Skype go to Help -> About Skype.
If you have not yet installed Skype on your computer, then you need to do this now.

New and need help with replace harddrive M45-s265

Hello,
I am not sure were to post this had a hard time trying to find were to post this message.
(I also upgraded to 2g memory with out a problem)
I replaced the board and get a message as if it has none
part of message
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM
The new board is from newegg and is a western digital wd scorpio ATA 250 gb wd2500beve-00wzto, I was told this is what i needed.
The key in and pins are the same as old board.
Thank you so much for any help I can get

That's the correct drive. What is your question? To do the replacement, you flip the unit over, remove the hard drive cover, slip the drive out, remove the 'caddy' and put it on the new drive, slide the new drive back in, replace the cover and boot from your recovery disks to restore the original disk image.

iBookG4 Windows XP I want to get an iBookG4

I have a PowerBook G4 17 with a gig of ram that I absolutely couldn't live without. I use a Verizon aircard for internet access, and it's proven to be about 90% as fast as a high speed cable connection. I routinely send pics up to 3M in size with no problem. The only thing I have found that it really doesn't do very well is downloading software. And the Verizon card is really affordable--I have an unlimited plan that doesn't hurt each month at all. Hope this helps.

New user needs help with syncing

I have a new Curve. I use Comcast mail (POP3). I have installed Desktop Manager on my PC. I am not using an Enterprise server, nor an Exchange server. I would like to be able to receive, read, and delete using either device and have any changes reflected in the other.
From what I've read, it appears that you can only do that if you're using an Enterprise server or if you have an Exchange server and you install Redirector. Is that true? Or can my set up work?

POP3 email does not require a BES connection.
However you do need to make sure you are paying the service fee to the carrier for a BIS data plan.

New user needs help with full windows reinstall/itunes

ok
my first time on here so be gentle,
ok heres my problem, be using itunes for a whilenow with my nano, never had any problems, always just got my mp3's, then just clcked "add folder" in itunes, and then pointed to the said album, and in it goes.
now my problem is, iam about to do a full reinstall of my win xp, however, 1. i have no idea how to back up my music with itunes., and 2., my actuall musc tracks are all over the hard drive.
so any help....
i will add here my idea as to how what think i must do......
...i was going to track down all my mp3's on my hard drive, (about 3 gigs worth), and then just copy them over to my .."my music.itunes", folder, and then when i have reinstalled my pc, just copy that back to the "my music" folder....will this work.
and if it does what will i have to make sure i do on the new install of my itunes, to get my playlists back as they are now....
i want to avoid thehorror stories i have read were after such reinstalls soon as there ipod plugged in again the blank new itunes updates ipod to blank....(how do i avoid this), and how do i get my new clean itunes to be like it was/is now....
lots of questons i know, but pretty desprate to get on with my reisntall...
thaks in advance for ay help.

toz,
We love seeing pro-active thinking here at the Discussions! You're off to a great start!
And you've pretty well got the right idea of what has to be done. A few points to make things go a bit smoother, though.
..i was going to track down all my mp3's on my hard drive, (about 3 gigs worth), and then just copy them over to my .."my music.itunes", folder, and then when i have reinstalled my pc, just copy that back to the "my music" folder....will this work.
It probably would work but fortunately there's an easier method. Use the iTunes Advanced menu > Consolidate Library... command and iTunes will automatically find all the songs in your music library that are not currently in the iTunes Music folder, make copies of them and then put them into that folder (along with any songs that are already there).
With that out of the way, there are two main ways to make the back-up copies of your library. The one this article in the Apple Knowledge Base describes in detail is burning CD's/DVD's. That will take care of the music itself but if, as you say, you want to keep your playlists (and the information they depend on) intact, you will also have to make back-up copies of the iTunes Library files . That link tells you where to find them.
The other approach to creating your back-up is to use any spare hard drive you happen to have available and simply copy the iTunes folder (which happens to contain the iTunes Music folder and the iTunes Library files). Some of our Discussions regulars are quite fond of this method .
Once you've made your decision and successfully backed up your Library, restoring the music in iTunes onto your newly-formatted hard drive will be fairly straightforward but it will depend on which method you select. So post back and let us know how you're going to proceed as well as any other questions you may have.
