Newbie needs help with set-up

Hello, Just bought my first Mac. Trying to set it up. This may sound stupid but I'm on the page that asks : Select a Wireless Service,then it lists :
2 wire 313
2 wire 675
2 wire 988
other network
Sorry But I just don't know what this is referring to. Can someone please help & explain how to proceed?

What you are seeing is a list of wireless internet (WiFi) networks available in your neighborhood. You can join any one of them as long as it does not require a password to join, they may be your neighbors or your own network. People here will tell you to feel guilty about stealing your neighbor's WiFi, but ignore them.
2 Wire is a Qwest DSL modem, and a darned fine modem too, with a strong signal. If you have Qwest DSL one of those may be yours already. If so, it would probably be the strongest signal. Once connected, click here: http://192.168.1.254/ and try to login to the modem's configuration. 2 Wire modems all give themselves a random number in the network name so they are all unique in the area. You can change the network name to something meaningful in the configuration, but most people are too lazy to do it.

  • Purchased extreme to replace modem/router DSL used telephone cord need help with set up

    Prior to purchasing Airport Extreme had a standard modem/ wireless router from ATT for DSL. I have two macbooks both dropped connections while online with older modem.
    Airport Extreme purchased to correct connection issues I need help with set up. The older modem just used telephone cord. I tried to use telephone with extreme it did not work.
    How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?

    How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?
    you can't. the extreme is only a router. you need a separate modem (or disable the wireless part of your old router and use it as a modem - if that's possible).

  • I need help with setting up time machine for backup

    I would like help with setting up time machine for backup.

    You will need an external hard drive (formatted for a Mac).
    Then you plug it in and go to system preferences>time machine and select the external HD and turn it on.
    The backups are automatic.

  • [SOLVED] Need help with setting up X

    Hello guys am new to the forum and this is my first post here. I am in need of a little help.
    Need help with X configuration. It starts like this, I installed xorg-server , xorg-utils, xorg-server-utils. When I tried installed xorg-init it says no package, anyway I ignored and moved on.
    Now I installed regular mesa stuff and installed xf86-video-ati driver for my HD4250 graphics adapter. with libgl and ati-dri (I have old arch wiki print so it mentioned to install those while newer doesn't list some stuff)
    Now the problem is that Xorg -configure doesn't work with newer X and nor the packages has generated /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
    Anyway I created the file manually and added each and every section as mentioned in the "old" guide that I have.
    I even added a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf file for my graphics card with the content as
    Section "Device"
    Identifire "r"
    Driver "radeon"
    EndSection
    After manually creating all such files I installed x-term, xclock and twm. But when I tried to start X by startx or Xinit it says command not found. Add to that a simple X shows couple of errors.
    Please see the errors here Paste #399362 | LodgeIt!
    Some more questions : My old guide mentioned to install HAL while newer guide on the net mention DBUS. Though I have added DBUS to be on the safe side but why not HAL ? Is it because of Udev ?
    So please help me getting X up and running.
    Regards

    Ok  I sorted out the misprints in the file and installed xinit but still can't get it to work.
    1. There are few errors in xorg.conf that I cannot make it out.
    2. The X output says no screen found. ?
    http://paste.pocoo.org/show/399383/
    Now when I add EndSection at the last its says invalid parameter and when I remove it, I get an error "No EndSection, EOF missing"
    Kind of bugging
    Please do help.

  • Need Help with setting up this Filter

    Hi,
    I need help making a filter sound like the one used in this youtube song.
    I tried setting it up but I've had no success; even though I know for a fact that this filter was made in Logic Pro 9 according to the maker of this song.
    I think there might be a bit of 'Fuzz-Wah' in there too but I've never really used that effect so any tips on that would be great, too.
    Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf017M8SZZE&feature=plcp
    Any help with this would be widely appreciated.
    Thank you :-)

    It sounds like a simple hi Q filter sweep to me but getting close to the original synth sound that it is being used on is the challenge. It might well be that it is the filter on the synth itself is what is being swept. Either way, turn up the filter resonance on a band pass filter and sweep it with the lfo or adsr to modulate the filter cutoff if its the synth filter, or automate the filter frequency  sweep if you use the channel filter.

  • Need help with Set-ADUser command

    I need a little help with the following command. Im new to PS and I have found this command but it is only one user at a time. I need to be able to update ALL users in AD.
    My goal is this. Someone before me set all Users Home numbers to 1234567899 and I need to remove that and leave it blank. The command below allows me to do that but only one user at a time by entering their SAMID.
    Is there a way to do this for everyone in AD ?
    Set-AdUser –Identity SAMID –HomePhone $NULL

    Yeah sure - 
    Get-Aduser -filter * -properties SamaccountName | Select SamAccountName | % {Set-Aduser -identity $_.SamaccountName -HomePhone $null}

  • MSI P67A-C45 (B3) Newb needs Help with connections..

    Hi all..
    First time posting here, but have been in the shadows for quite a while..   
    Anyway, i decided to finally take the plunge, and build my own PC, and now i'm beginning to hit a few bumps.
    I have a couple of questions that i would like some help with, if possible to reassure myself i may be in the right direction..
    I bought THIS PSU and was hoping someone could tell me where the Blue connectors (one labelled CP and one labelled U1) Connect to?
    Is it into JPWR2? And does it/do they only connect in the correct way? (Do i remove the plastic cap and attach both?
    and i bought THIS VIDEO/GRAPHICS CARD and i'm guessing the RED "PCI express" and "SLI ready" connect to that somehow (Haven't opened box yet for card)
    Again, wondering is there a certain way for them to connect.
    Also, from my chassis, the "AC '97" and "HDA" connectors go to JAUD (I guess), does it matter which one? (I currently have "HDA" connected)
    I have i5 2500k already on board. (If that makes a difference).

    Do the Audio plugs go into JAUD? and does it matter which one?
    Yep, connect the front panel audio to the JAUD. If you need the pin layout, it says in the manual. I would say the HDA connector is the one to connect.
    Quote from: Ben_Cartwright on 26-May-11, 22:05:35
    Any recommendations for testing it all, before i plug it in, and press the power?
    Should i (Can i) test individual parts first?
    Thanks again.
    Check all power connections, seating of the RAM and add-on cards, check the HSF is plugged into the fan header, and obvious things like that.
    As for testing, enter the BIOS and make sure the CPU isn't running too hot. Set up the RAM with the required timings and voltage, and test with >>Memtest86<< for several hours. No point starting the Windows installation if say your RAM has errors, since it will corrupt files during the install, if it installs at all.

  • Newbie needs help with Flex app

    Hi there. I am very new to Flex and also fairly new to
    programming although I do have a little experience.
    I am trying to create an app which stores code snippets or
    common text I tend to use every day in my documents and emails.
    So basically I need help on a design level. I can refer to
    the developer's manual for exact instructions for commands, but I
    need to know what to code first.
    The app will consist of:
    -a tree directory structure where I can create groups.
    -There will be a basic text editor where I input all my data,
    basic text formatting options (font, bullets etc) would be a bonus.
    -A search function
    -Finally it will ideally allow multiple client apps write to
    a central database file over a network
    Can anyone suggest how I should approach such a project?
    Or are there any tutorials / source files which demonstrate
    each bullet point?
    thanks.

    Hey jono,
    I'm new too. But I think I might know the right components.
    If you google any of these + flex 3 you should get some
    decent documentation
    tree - advanced dataGrid component
    basic text editor - rich text editor component
    search function - well, you're gonna need to read up on
    arrays, and arraycollection. Once you get that stuff working, you
    can write up a function to search for a string in an array.
    network functionality - HTTPService, you can dump the
    datagrid into a database, and have it load the database when you
    open up the application.
    Give these things a shot, tutorials / sources will come with
    the google searches.

  • Need help with setting up VPN on a Cisco EPC3925 Modem

    Hi everyone,
    I need help setting VPN on Cisco EPC3925 modem (I tried using Help and I have read the entire section in the manual but the manual is not the same as the window I get in my settings. For example in the manual they say I can choose "all" under Remote Secure Gateway but there is no option like that).
    When I go to the VPN section this is what I get:
    1. Does this mean that I can connect to my modem via VPN from some other location? I would like to be able to connect to this modem when I am not at home from some remote location from my computer in order to be able to use NAS-Storage.
    2. If the answer on the first question is yes, what settings I need to enter for the:
    Local Secure Group
    Remote Secure Group
    Remote Secure Gateway
    My ISP is using dynamic IP but I have DDNS.
    My router local IP is 192.168.0.1
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    Starting IP Address: 192.168.0.10
    Here is how the advanced settings looks like:
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    My problem similar too this. I create a tunnel between two epc3925 but impossible to send data between them.
    The status is connected.  What can I do? UPC tell me this router has only vpn client so i will doesn't work.

  • Need help with set-up

    Hello,
    I gave my son an Iphone 4 to use.  He is in the military overseas now and let his phone for another sibling to use while deployed.  Problem is he wiped it clean but it is still asking for the email/password to set up since its still connected to his account.
    Problem is I don't know this info and neither does he.  It's been over a year already and he has no clue.  The email retrieval doesn't work because he doesn't have access to emails.  HELP!!!
    Is there anyway to get past the logon screen??
    Thanks.

  • Newbie needs help with browser compatibility

    Ok, so I'm new at this, so this may be something really
    simple, but browser compatibility? I made a site in DW;html and it
    shows up perfect in safari but internet explorer and firefox not so
    much. I did a browser compatibility test in DW and it says nothing
    is wrong with my pages, but obviously something must be!!
    On my home page, the image of a house that I have next to the
    company name shows up fine in safari but not any other browsers.
    And my page layout, everything is moved over funny in other
    browsers. Also there are link boxes around the table I created with
    different brands of products. On safari the boxes do not show, but
    all the other browsers it does!! I'm new at this and frustrated!!!
    Need help!!
    The link is holmeshifi.com and I posted code from the home
    page!

    OK thanks Ned sorry to soo dumb I'm on a learning curve here!  what 
    I'm trying to do is go to the URLs of web galleries of images from my 
    main site
    so I would presumably have to rename them on my server? i.e. does that 
    mean adding the code ", "_blank");
    to the files on the server?
    At the moment I have to use the back button on my browser window which
    takes me back to the main site which then has to reload (tediously!)
