Ok I feel like an idiot. Extreme question/explanation?

Ok, what exactly is the Airport extreme? I have a router and a wireless modem at work. What piece of equipment is this replacing? I don't get what it actually does and what advantage it would offer me. My current modem is wireless capable. So is the extreme a modem or what? I know this is an elementary question but I just don't get it. Any explanation is appreciated.

The Airport extreme has a few other functions added. Printer sharing without having to leave one computer on to share the printer and network storage. There is only one USB port, however you can use a USB hub to share
ultiple printers and HDs. It also supports the back to my Mac service you get with a MobileMe subscription.

Anyone else feel like an idiot?

Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone shares how I feel. I bought a G5 Imac 2.1 Ghz a little over a month ago, I am doing some video editing etc.....
Now with this new one out so soon, I feel like an idiot buying the other one (20' inch at $1700).... I could really use the extra speed (if it's true that it's twice as fast.)
I wish they would have offered some type of an upgrade offer for people who bought their Imacs just recently..
Anyone understand me?!!

YES!!! add me to the list!!! i'm ******, and feel like an idiot!!!
aargh!!
I was planing to wait until the intel macs came out to buy a new computer (My first Mac btw).... but when the G5 iMacs with iSight came out, i couldn't resist... and convinced myself that i would be waiting a long while till the intel macs were released... so i got one...
now i'm ******...
sure, the new ones might have a few problems, but i can handle that, i would rather that, than this G5 that is going to age FAR quicker than the new Intel ones... and my iMac is only ONE MONTH old... and it is out of date already!!
y did they release the iMac G5s with iSight at all???.. they shouldn't have.. just released the iMac Intel with iSight... GRR!!
OR they should have told us this.. frankly it is RUDE!!.. and i feel ripped off!
I even bought the 3-year extended warranty... is there anyway i can trade, or pay a little bit more and get an intel one??
is it possible to return this one?? (considering it is only 1 month old??).. then i will buy an intel one .. so apple won't really loose their money...
I am a student.. just finishing off my university studies in graphic design (college i think you call it in the states).. so i wanted a computer that would last a good while, and handle the applications etc that i need... this was a big purchase for me too, considering im a student.. infact the MOST expensive thing i own... so u can understand my frustration..
grr!!.. i feel so stupid!...
Next time, i am going to be EXTREMELY cautious buying anything from Apple... if they are lucky enough that i would consider EVER buying anything from them again!! grr!
Apple, I never expected you would be this rude, especially to a new customer... who you could have earned for life.. (i did love apple, and my ipod.. but this rudeness and inconsiderate behaviour has just changed my mind).. you are the same as all the other companies... forget my loyalty, BYE!
(PS. I am aware apple probably won't read this.. but i just had to vent my frustration..)

I'm syncing music to my iPhone. My playlist has 15.96 Gig but when I go to sync it, the iPhone says 18.1 Gig of audio. Any ideas as to why (I realize I'm probably going to feel like an idiot when I get an answer)?

My playlist has 15.96 Gig but when I go to sync it, the iPhone says 18.1 Gig of audio. Any ideas as to why (I realize I'm probably going to feel like an idiot when I get an answer)?

Do you have any voice memos that were created on your iPhone?
Did you include music videos?
If the iPhone isn't behaving like other iPhones, try restarting or restoring it.

Preloader problem - feel like an idiot

I feel like a total idiot. I can't seem to get my
preloader to work. Here's my code. What am I doing wrong? The
problem is that myApp.swf loads successfully but the .onEnterFrame
function thinks that loader_mc is 1 frame and 0 bytes long.

Again, I much appreciate your help. I had put some trace
statements in trying to find out what getBytesLoaded/Total were and
they were coming back with values I didn't understand, so I kept
thinking it was trying to get the values of the empty_mc I had
instantiated instead of the thing I was trying to load and I kept
scratching my head as to why and tried a lot of different things
and was baffled. At any rate, in the end I think it's a timing
issue if I understand correctly. In other words, I think the
function started executing before it could really grab the correct
information about the .swf that I was trying to load. Is that
right?
Oh well, I'm out of the ditch with that silly problem now and
moving on to my next set of challenges. :-)
Again, thank you so VERY much for being a willing helping
hand to us newbies out here.

Feel like an IDIOT asking this

Ok... I'm an old guy trying to figure out this Dinc thing. I don't think I'm an idiot. But HOW DO YOU CLOSE AN APP????
I have AppKiller which can kill off an app, but when I open the Internet window, I can't find a Quit option in the menu. I thought that was insane, then I noticed none of my apps have a quit. This can't be right so I must have missed something in the 300+ pages of my manual?

To follow is from one of the articles. i've inserted my response/experience after each statement. So… the TL;DNR Version:
Android is hard coded to automatically kill a task when more memory is needed. do you really want to wait for more memory to be required to terminate a program?
Android is hard coded to automatically kill a task when it’s done doing what it needs to do. then why are there anywhere from 5-15 apps running every time i check?
Android is hard coded to automatically kill a task when you haven’t returned to it in a long time. again...many apps are always running? some that i never even started?
Most services (while possibly running in the background) use very little memory when not actively doing something. "very little" sure....but they are still using memory!
A content provider is only doing something when there is a notification for it to give. Otherwise it uses very little memory. again...still using memory.
Killing a process when it isn’t ready only causes it to have to reload itself and start from scratch when it’s needed again. if you want the app to stay open, just put it on the "ignore list" of your app killer.
Because a task is likely running in the background for a reason, killing it will only cause it to re-spawn as soon as the activity that was using it looks for it again. And it will just have to start over again. so what? if it'll restart...and if it's a vital app to you then use the "ignore list." (clock, calendar, etc)
Killing certain processes can have undesirable side effects. Not receiving text messages, alarms not going off, and force closes just to name a few. see above. if you use third party apps for email, mms, sms, etc....you just have to "ignore" those apps. but the killer DOES not kill the stock messaging or email programs.
The only true way to prevent something from running at all on your phone would be to uninstall the .apk. true...but you can at least kill the dozen apps running with one touch (if you use the widget instead of the app)
Most applications will exit themselves if you get out of it by hitting “back” until it closes rather than hitting the “home” button. But even with hitting home, Android will eventually kill it once it’s been in the background for a while. OR...you can kill it immediately with an app killer!
here's the deal.....if you learn how to use it properly an app killer is valuable. not necessary, but convenient. if you know how to use the ignore list and include what you need to, then i have yet to see how it can cause any harm. i'm no expert, but have had the inc with app killer for 4 months and love it!!! anyone can correct me if any of my input is inaccurate.

Okay....I feel like an idiot

Trying to burn a dvd from iMovie 08 to iDvD 08. GEEZ! My movie project does not transfer to iDVD 08. I can't burn from iMovie and when I try to transfer to iDVD, I cannot find a way to burn a simple video. It ends up copying like a test disc. Once done, I open the dvd, and it appears with a menu item and doesn't just play on my computer. When I load it on my dvd, it shows that stupid menu page with Root as the main subheading. On the pc, Roxio just burns a video to a disc and bingo. Instant video. I cannot figure out how to transfer in a proper manner. Please.....Help.

Or am I missing something?
To add to what AppleMan has already said, you need to "author" the DVD. That is, you need to encode your iMovie project output to MPEG-2 video content and multiplex it with either PCM audio (in the case of iDVD or DVD Studio Pro) or AC3 audio (in the case of Toast or DVD Studio Pro), add certain additional files which tells the DVD player which files to play and in what order, etc. Strictly speaking, the "templates" and menus are not required. You can, for instance, can create "insert and play" DVDs with Toast or DVD Studio Pro (or even turn an iDVD image files into such using an external utility) but this is not the normal way iDVD authors its DVDs.

I feel like an IDIOT! Please help me...

I have had my iBook for 2 1/2 yrs now, and until now just used it to store photos & music, do some desktop publishing & word processing. I decided to venture into the "iMovie" application which is interesting. I'm trying to make a movie from pictures in iPhoto which is doing fine but not i'm having MAJOR probs.
1. The text in my "title pages" looks good on the preview & fuzzy during the movie.
2. Sometimes while playing the movie to see how the music sounds with the pics, it "stutters", whereas in iPhoto the slideshow plays flawlessly.
3. I(thought I) finished my movie & hit the "Create iDvd" button, and I get a message that says 'COMPATIBLE VERSION OF IDVD REQUIRED, VERSION 3.0 OR GREATER REQUIRED'
****When I called Applecare, they said all I needed to do was go online & do an update, but I can't figure out what "update" i'm looking for. PLUS... (I don't know if this matters or not) I don't have an "iDvd" icon on my computer, just the button within iMovie.
Sorry for the long post, but i'm getting extremely frustrated, and I just want to finish this movie as a Memorial cousin who was killed last year to give to his mom.
Thanks for all of your help in advance.

1) Text always looks better on the computer because it has much higher resolution than a TV so once in the movie it is downgraded to TV format. It will probably look better on an actual TV but still not as good as a computer.
2) What processor and speed is your computer? It could very well be a problem with the processor not being able to keep up with everything. Sometimes you get this when previewing, but after sending to a DVD or tape it plays fine.
3) Do you have a Superdrive on your computer? If your computer is an older one that didn't come with a Superdrive, then it didn't come with iDVD.

How do I right Click??? (i feel like an idiot)

I don't know how to rightclick on my macbook there is no right click button could someone PLEASE Help me out?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You can hold down on the "control" key as you click the trackpad button. You can also enable an option if you hold two fingers down on the trackpad to get a right-click when you click on the trackpad button in the Keyboard & Mouse System Preferences. You also have the option of using a mouse that has a right button, it should be recognized by Mac OS X automatically.

Safari 5 extremely slow and unstable, feels like early beta

Hi,
since i upgraded to safari 5 the browser is extremely slow on loading webpages, unresponsive and often can't establish any connection to websites at all. one time it even crashed.
the whole thing feels like an early beta. i have no addons or what so ever installed, safari 4 worked incredibly well before.
since i've read many similar postings concerning this issue i hope apple will be offering a fix soon...!

I have the same problems! .. Some times I have no internet connection, but if I start up Firefox or google chrome, I get internet connection.
Often for no reason Safari stops responding .. It's a shame b/c it's extremely fast vs Firefox
Seems like I have to stick to Chrome until a update follows
btw. Nice job on the look and feel on the Safari 5 expecialy the combined history search in the address line looking forward to a stable release

How can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone? If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password.

how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone? If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

You have a password, so good move on your part. Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs. Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
Ringing occurs at the carrier. Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings. If you have an iCloud backup also a good move. Re-read my question in the first paragraph.

[SOLVED] New Install of Gnome 3.2 doesn't feel like loading

Greetings,
Before making this post, I have spent the majority of the day trying to solve this issue. I have switched from nvidia drivers to nouvela (sp?) drivers, incase that was the issue. I have scoured google, arch-wiki, and the forums until my eyes have bled. I have dug through the xsession-errors log to search out any missing components that might be causing this... but to no avail. If anything, trying to run and try Gnome 3.2 has made me feel like a complete idiot, who has obviously learnt nothing after years of using linux. So, I come here hoping that some one can point me to the solution my brain cannot itself come up with.
Here the situation:
I have been running KDE4 for quite some time happily. I have ran Gnome 3 back in its beginning days succesfully as well, but that was an older, now dead, pc. Having seen some neat little things about the new Gnome 3.2, I got an itch to give it a try. So, I go and follow the Gnome article on the excellent arch wiki- installing both gnome and gnome extras, letting it grab everything, change from kdm to gdm, and reboot.
Well, it gives me the old gdm I remember from the early gnome 3 days (wasn't this changed) despite it showing that it is GDM 3.2 via pacman. It shows my user name, lets me put my password, and shows the stripped background. One thing to note is that the cursor remains a clock face, never changing to a pointer.
I log in, choosing GNOME, all that remains is the wallpaper, with the clockface cursor, no pointer. I go take the kids to the bus stop, come back apx. 20 min. later, no change.
Ok, bug crushing time right? So I go through the steps. I make sure that gnome shell is indeed installed. I remove any config files (there weren't any), remove gnome shell, reinstall. No go. I rinse and repeat, but removing & reinstalling different things, such as GDM, and even gnome completely. No go.
Hopping into pekwm, I search. I make copies of the xsession-errors each time, and load them in pekwm after a reboot, looking through with pacman by myside to make sure I have any possible missing files. And finally after failure after failure I give up, and come here.
So, here's my xsession-errors log. Please, if anyone can help, or even offer any kind of suggestion that might spark something in my brain to get me going in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. If this thread needs moved, merged, etc, please do so... I've searched the forums, but now my brain is numb, so yeah...

Ok, I guess all it took was for me to post this to wake up and be able to solve the issue.
It is simple really. I just needed to re-install libltdl.
So, for those searching, if you get this similar problem,
pacman -S libltdl
is what solved it for me.

Ok I feel like an idiot. Extreme question/explanation?
