New to all this - questions about my setup

Hi All
I have recently been loaned an airport express to play with. My imac connects wirelessly to a netgear router. I have added the airport express as a client (I think). It works fine for streaming music to my hifi in the kitchen, but if I move the airport express to another room and connect it to the hifi there the music streams for a few seconds, silence for a few seconds, music a few seconds etc.
I have 2 questions:
1. Is this likely to be just due to a worse signal in the second room. (The distance to the router is very similar although the AE is plugged in behind a cabinet)
2. Presumably my imac is sending music to the router and then to the airport express. Would this be improved by connecting the imac to the router by ethernet, or can the imac talk directly to the airport express and bypass the router.
I hope the above is clear - I am a bit puzzled by all this. Thanks for any suggestions.

Yes

No
...or can the imac talk directly to the airport express and bypass the router.
Yes but then your AirPort Express (AX) would be creating a separate wireless network and your iMac would have to decide which network to connect to (Internet or stream music).

I just purchased a new iMac, and can't get into my Wordpress blog. The username and password work on my old Macbook, iPhone4, etc, and all my other password-restricted sites are accessible...just not Wordpress. Ideas? New to all this...

Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (or C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista). Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

Hi all.I have a dumb question.Im new to all this i tune stuff.when you purchase a song ,is it a one off payment and how long does the song last for on your i phone or i tune playlist.Told you it was dumb...

As above

All music, movies, videos and books from the iTunes Store are a one-time purchase and are yours to keep and use as long as you wish.
BTW, this forum is for questions about iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. Normally you will get the quickest and most applicable responses if you ask your questions in the general iTunes forums.

General questions about network setup

Hi everybody,
I am in the process of migrating the network of our small nonprofit-organization from windows to linux. I searched for a while and had a look at several distros but it seems that arch is what we need ;-) Some months ago I migrated my own laptop and desktop at home to arch and learned a lot about KISS since then. But now I need some hints that point me in the right direction. The net consists of a router (running fli4l for firewalling, ntp, dhcp and dns-server), a main Server (SuSE 9.1 samba domain controller by now) and a backup server (arch). There are some workstations running Win2000 or XP and two arch systems with a KDE-desktop.
How can I manage single sign on for all these machines? NIS seems to be insecure, LDAP very complicated. Any other options? Maybe someone with a working configuration as an example? The setup should take care about the possibilty of one server going down and the backup server then taking all services over.
On each windows machine I needed antivirus and desktop firewall software. Any need for this on linux machines? I am a bit concerned about degrading performance since all workstations are 1GHhz Durons which is not so much these days...
By now the main task for all workstations is doing some text processing and spreadsheet work. The servers do the file sharing using samba. In the future I want to set up an internal email server, maybe some kind of networked PIM-Software for all users. What would you use for this purposes?
Are there any other things I have to keep in mind while setting up a small network like this?
Thanks for your help.
Harvey
BTW, English is not my native language so don't shoot me if I put something wrong ;-)

TB2 wrote:If the main tasks are text processing and spreadsheet work, then why are there any Windows machines?
Because this environment has grown over years and is now moving towards Linux. And there is some special software that only exists as windows software (medical databases) which I was not able to run in Wine. Virtualbox is a good hint, though I am using vmware in the moment for my own boxes. So vmware-player would do as well, I guess.
Then you will also be able to drop samba...
Mmmh, I'm a bit concerned about that. I suppose you suggest using NFS/NIS? Isn't that believed to be insecure?
and there's loads of IPM programs for Linux
Well, not so much if you are looking for a networked one which archlinux supports. Evolution looks nice though I'd personally prefer Kolab, but for groupware features it needs a server which I wasn't able to find in the repositories. And making packages is not one of my skills...
switch from KDE to a more ressource-friendly DE, like Xfce, Window Maker or Fluxbox.
Tried XFCE, which looks nice, but I need a login manager for my users. Had a look at slim, but was not able to configure it right. The wiki seems to be outdated here. It runs on boot, but never lets me login. I come back to the login screen in an infinite loop. Still looking for a solution here.
In general I think it's better if all machines run the same setup. Mixing Win2000, XP and Linux machines can be done, but I think it's not recommended
This is what I am thinking too. And I want to migrate, but in the moment there are some caveats I have to deal with.

All this talk about HEAT, my PowerBook G4 1.25GHZ gets hot!

I have ordered a new MBP 2.16GHZ 1GB 120HD but since I heard all the talk about heat I started monitoring my Powerbook G4 1.25GHZ and you know what, it gets hot!
I downloaded a widget from the Apple site and after about 4-5 hours of just regular web surfing and iTunes I had a CPU bottomside temp of 136F! It was hot between the F keys and the screen almost too hot to touch. I have owned this machine for three years and have never noticed it!
I am somewhat relieved as I think that I have been worried about something that has always been there and never affected my Mac experience before. Obviously this new Mac has a much faster CPU inside so I expect it will get at least as hot. I am not saying that the heat is normal it's just nothing new.
Anyone else noticed this since they started reading about it?

I really do wonder about these 2.16 models. I had a 2.16 on loan while my 2 GHz version was being repaired and it ran warm, but nowhere near the temperatures of the 2 GHz.
Anyway, I got the 2 GHz back and two weeks later the battery started to swell. Now they are upgrading me to the flagship model for free; all heat related issues BTW.
I understand the loyalty and need to defend Apple, but when you run a business you tend to feel a little differently I guess. Glad to hear your not experiancing problems.

No, it doesn't have claim code. Only printers with ePrint enable/ready have claim codes.

Management needs to address this question about Creative Cloud subscriptions

Hopefully there is a satisfactory solution for this question. Then and only then will I feel comfortable giving Creative Cloud a try. I own Production Premium CS5.5 and Design Premium CS6. In addition I have stand alones of Photoshop CS5.1, Premiere Pro CS6, Acrobat Pro 9, Lightroom 4 (2 copies) and probably another package I'm not thinking about right now. If I convert to Creative Cloud and two years from now when CS7 or possible CS8 is the current version and I decide end my subscription to Creative Cloud reverting back to the disk version ownership, I will be required to pay additional money because I didn't keep my disk ownership current. I used to upgrade my Production Premium Suite every other version. I owned CS4 in that suite and when CS5.5 was released, I was required to pay an additional $250 (if memory is correct) because I hadn't upgraded to Version CS5. I think that subscribing to Creative Cloud should not open me up to my license being devalued because I chose the subscription (at essentially the same price for what I use) over buying the disk. Adobe, will you comment on this situation and add it to management discussions to assure faithful customers we won't have our current licenses put into jeopardy?

I like the idea of Creative Cloud but subscribing to it for a mandatory 1-year is binding.
Thare are two joining options: monthly (higher monthly fee) or 12 month contract, billed monthly(lower monthly fee)
akrafter wrote:
And after the one year, do you go on a month-to-month or do you have to sign on for another year? I'm sure that's in the fine print someplace but I haven't noticed it.
Auto-renewed unless you cancel.
http://www.adobe.com/au/products/creativecloud/faq.html
At the end of my annual membership, what do I need to do to renew it?
If you would like to renew your annual membership for another year, you do not need to do anything. Your account is set to auto-renew so that you will not experience any interruption in access to your Creative Cloud products and services.
How do I cancel my one-year membership?
To cancel a one-year membership, you can either go online to the Account page on www.creativecloud.com or contact Adobe Customer Service. If you cancel your membership before meeting the 12-month commitment date, you will be charged 50% of the remaining amount left on your contract.

I hope a lot more people ask the question and do as I'm doing, not buy into Creative Cloud until a satisfactory solution is arrived at. I like the looks of the CC package and I think it has value but not at the loss of value for my Creative Suite.
Not sure you'll get a definitive answer to that before CS7 arrives.
And you'll need a CS6 perpetual license in order to upgrade to CS7.
So I suspect a CS6 purchasing/upgrading decision (Cloud or traditional upgrade) will have to be made based on the info currently available.

Where should i direct this question about dashboard and widgets?

See this question about static object

1)static A a =new A();
2) A a1=new A();
what is the difference between them?

static A a =new A();
When this line is written in another class say : class b;
a is accessible without the need for declaring an object of b.
i.e., b.a
Not in the other case.
Many factory classes and methods are accessed this way coz, the classes are private and abstract, so u cannot make an object of that class.
For example:
System.out.println() - here println() is a method, out is an object of some class that is declared static in the class System. if it were'nt static, then we had to make an object of the System class and then access the out object,
hope this helps
let me know

New user - questions about email setup and synchronization

Hi,
I'm a not-particularly-techno-savvy new owner of a BlackBerry Curve 8900. My questions are:
1 I seem to only have the option to use a work email account with a BB Enterprise server and not the option to create or add an email addy. How do I resolve this?
2 I've installed the BlackBerry Desktop Manager but when I try to synchronize data from my device - organiser stuff and contacts - I get a message saying there are no applications configured, with subsequent instructions as to how to do this but I then have to choose from a huge list of folders and other stuff and have no idea what to do!
I'm really hoping someone will be kind enough to try and help as I'm floundering dreadfully.
Thanks in advance.
Jan

Jan,
When you install Desktop Manager it gives you the option to setup with an enterprise server or internet email, I can't tell from your post which you have.
However, to pick the applications to sync, assuming you have Desktop Manager 4.7,
open Desktop Manager
Click on Synchronize on the left side of the screen
On the next screen that opens, choose Synchronize under the word "Configure" (also put check marks in all the boxes that will allow you to check)
On the next screen to open choose Synchronization on the "right" side
In a couple of seconds another screen will open up where you can choose what applications to sync (calendar in Outlook, tasks in Outlook, Contacts in Outlook etc) just choose each program you need to sync and choose the program on your PC to use such as Outlook.
I also have the 8900 and it syncs with my Outlook 2003 for contacts, calendar, memo and tasks.
Hope that helps.
Steve

Question about Ipod Setup On New Computer

Hi, the laptop that i had itunes on and stored all my music/playlists crashed, so i was thinking about setting up my ipod on another new computer. If I set it up and connect the ipod again, what will happen to my music library stored on my ipod. Will it be transfered to the new itunes on the new computer, or will the new itunes simply clear my ipod of all the songs that i have previousaly collected? thanks in advance

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
By default the new installation of iTunes will clear your iPod of all the songs. It seems to me you will need to get the songs on your iPod to your new computer.

New Mac Pro - some questions about setup and RAM

After debating between iMac and Mac Pro, I decided on a refurb SINGLE 2.8 quad-core Mac Pro.
Somewhere in these discussions (can't find it now) I thought I saw recommendations to zero out the hard drive and re-install the system when it arrives. Is this necessary?
Also, I plan to use the single processor savings to buy RAM. When I go to the Crucial site, they have a choice of RAM for 4-core or 8-core. Mine is only 4-core, but would I choose the 8-core option to get the correct RAM for 2008 models?
In general, when it comes to buying and installing RAM, should I follow the 8-core directions? Will having a single processor change anything to do with upgrades or expansion?
Thanks. Hope I didn't ask too much in one post.

Somewhere in these discussions (can't find it now) I thought I saw recommendations to zero out the hard drive and re-install the system when it arrives. Is this necessary?
No, that really isn't necessary. If you were prepping a new bare drive that had never been used or you were installing OS X on a drive that had once been used for Windows, then zeroing the drive is quite appropriate.
All the Mac Pros use the same type of RAM. The Late 2008 models use the faster PC2-6400 800 MHz RAM, but the other specs are the same - ECC, Fully buffered, heat sink. The RAM and installation is the same regardless of cores.
RAM should be installed minimally in matched pairs, optimally in matched quads. The following illustrations show how it should be installed:
