Newer mac laptops pick up wifi signal, why won't mine
I work upstairs from a shop that has public wifi, but my g4 ti powerbook won't pick up the signal while newer mac laptops sitting beside me will. What could be going on? I can get most signals elsewhere out and about.
I can walk out the door of my shop, sit on the stoop and receive a signal from a hot spot across the street. Walk around the corner and get another apple signal, I can use my powerbook at home perfectly with my extreme. And as I said before the shops signal is definitely not password protected. I have tried deleting com.apple...utility.plist in preferences. Kind of out of my expertise zone there. But found when i was having problems with mac help not opening it was a preference thing to be deleted that helped make it work.

Can anybody help?
I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money?
Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound?
Will I need adaptors and an interface?
Also, I am guessing as Logic only runs on MAC surely then they would not the best spec to recommend to run it?
I see all the upgrades as additional memory or a faster process?
Is a retina screen necessary, and why flash based storage against a 1TB hard drive, and a i5 instead of an i7
The main reason for this purchase is to play live and use backing tracks and record found sounds and make creative songs.
I hope you can provide some valuable feedback, as I am a longtime MAC user and see upgrades and changes happen regularly but the most important thing is the songs not the equipment.
I have £500 already and willing to add another 500 to 700 pounds, then software extra.Can anybody help?

Can I transfer music from my ipod to my itunes app on a new mac laptop?
Can I transfer music from my ipod to my itunes app on a new mac laptop?
Yeah! Click on your iPod when it shows up under "Devices" on the left side of iTunes while plugged in. Click on the music tab at the top and select "Manually Manage songs and playlists". Then click the arrow next to you iPod on under "Devices" and it will drop down "Music" "Videos" etc under it. Go to "Music" and select all your songs and drag them to the iTunes "Music" tab. They should copy over. Then you can go back and enable autosync.

How do I replicate my software and data my from current Mac desktop to my new Mac laptop?
How do I replicate my software and data my from current Mac desktop to my new Mac laptop?
Connect the two with a Firewire cable: Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Boot the old computer into Target Disk Mode. Start the new computer normally which should take you to the Setup Assistant if this is the first time you've started it. Use the option in Setup Assistant to transfer data from the old computer.
If this is not the first time you've started the new computer then use Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder to transfer your data.

Need to swap my Acrobat XI from my old PC to my new Mac laptop.
I submitted a request to swap my Acrobat XI from my old PC to my new Mac laptop. I received a response from Adobe to deactivate the license on the old PC and I completed that task on 1/22/15 and responded back to Adobe on the same day. As of 1/26/15, I am still awaiting a response from Adobe to activate Acrobat XI on my new Mac. I need this for business purposes and am finding this process to be very slow. How can I have this process/response expedited so I can install Acrobat XI on my Mac? Is there a way to contact Adobe thru chat, e-mail or phone?

My computer crashed. I bought a new Mac Book Air, but my Photoshop CS4 won't download.
My computer crashed. I bought a new Mac Book Air, but my Photoshop CS4 won't download. It keeps wanting a serial number from my last product. I put it in, but it isn't taken. I am frustrated and furious! What can I do?
Bateman777 I reviewed your account and it appears the full version Photoshop software title you purchased was Photoshop CS3. As Kglad suggested please make sure to utilize your previous full version serial number. You can find details on how to locate your registered serial numbers at Find your serial number quickly.

My Ipod will charge in the computer but noy my iPod dock, my sisters iPod dock or the wall charger. My sisters iPod will charge in all and we both have the same software and generation. Why won't mine charge?
Look the dock connector on your iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corred contacts, foreign material and cracked/broken plastic.
Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears..
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod -
I have an older Power PC G5 desktop mac. It has 1GB DDR and SD Ram and Dual 1.8 GHz. The problem is there is no wifi signal. I think I need an airport card to insert in order for this model to pick up wifi. How do I know which airport card to use?
Your Power Mac G5 had an option to have an 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme Card. You basically have two choices: 1) Search the Internet for vendors that still provide this card, or 2) Get a wireless USB adapter that supports both 802.11b/g, but also the newer 802.11n standard. An example of this USB adapter can be found here.

Not picking up wifi signal on one of three Macs
We recently moved our computers, modem and airport to another room in our house. After the move one of our two desktop iMacs has been have trouble accessing the wi-fi. In order to get it to receive the wi-fi signal you must go to system preferences, network, assist me, then diagnostic. The network diagnostic box shows that the first three network status indicators, Airport, Airport Settings, and Network Settings all have green dots beside them. But the ISP, Internet, and Server are red. When you continue the three red ones then turn green and wifi access is restored but quite slow. The next time you return to the computer you have to go through the same process to access wifi. The airport signal strength bars are always full, so the computer is reading the wifi signal, just not able to access it. We have rebooted, changed the network name and password and other things as per our phone apple support session, and still it's not fixed. Interestingly, the other two computers in the house are not having any of these troubles. I'm wondering if something happened to the computer internally when it was carried, on it's side, from one room to the other. Any thoughts?
Is there anyone with any suggestions? PLEASE!
