PC and Mac to share airport for internet...I need help!

So this is the problem..I decided to change settings in internet connection because it was slow. I figures since it wasnt secured, that other people might be on it therefore causing our internet browsing to be slower. Both my mac and my pc used to be able to connect but I'm not sure what setting I changed and now my sister who is on her pc cannot add the network. What am I to do?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.0.x)

If you configured your Airport Base Station to use WEP security, you should read the hints and tips for getting this to work with Windows XP in the articles posted at http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/windowsxp.html . In particular, see the tip with regard to usage of the Base Station's hexadecimal format "network equivalent password" found at http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/2002.html

Mac OS 8.6 and Mac OS 7.6 - Older Game Software - Need Help!

I am new owner of an iMac OS X 10.4.8 system and have children who are wanting some educational games software games for Christmas- I have found some on E-Bay (ie. Where In the World is Carmen San Diego) however, the requirements are OS 8.6–9.2, OS X.
In addition I would like purchase Emergency Room 3 by Legacy Interactive with the following requirements: MacOS 7.6 or later, 233MHz PowerPC or faster cpu, 32MB RAM, 16 bit color display, 16X or faster CD-ROM .
Question: If I purchase these games - will they operate properly on my Mac OS X (10.4.8)? Should I be prepared to experience any issues?
Hate to open them on Christmas morning and they not work.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

I have a lot of kids' software on CDs, bought over several years, and have since upgraded almost all the Macs to OS X.
On the slightly older G3, G4, or G5 Macs that preceded yours, when you tried to run CD software that was not OS X aware, it would cause the Mac to launch "Classic" -- an emulation of many (but not all) of the features of OS 9. That made most of the well-behaved CD software completely happy.
But my Macs can all still run Classic. Your Intel Mac can NOT run Classic.
Many vendors software requires the CD to be in the drive, but install a portion of the program onto the Hard Drive the first time it is run. It is therefore essential that the Administrator account is the one to first run the program. (If you have not already set up separate accounts for each of your kids, please do that now, even if you do not password them.)
If a CD says "OS X" it generally requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later, and will work fine on your Intel Mac.
If a CD says "OS 8.6–9.2, OS X" That means it requires a minimum of 8.6, but will also run under 9.1 or 9.2 or Classic or Mac OS X. Sometimes these programs will install a slightly different Hard Drive resident portion if installed under Mac OS X. If the program gives you a problem, the vendor's web site may set you straight with a quick download, which will modify the Hard Drive portion of the software to solve the problem.
If a CD says "7.6.1 or later", "8.5 or later", "9.1 or later" it has not acknowledged the existence of Mac OS X, and will not run on your Intel Mac. That is why the suggestion of getting a slightly older used Mac is a perfectly reasonable one.
It has always seemed bizarre to me that great kids software still followed the same cycle as new games. An initial rush at high prices, a slowing and discounts, and then not being able to find it anywhere. Great stuff like Reader Rabbit, Carmen SanDiego series, and the ClueFinders series, should never really "go out of style."
I am hoping that the coming of the new Microsoft Windows Vista Operating System for PCs will encourage educational software developers to "freshen" their best software for that environment, and that as long as they have it apart they will fix it up to run under Mac OS X, if they haven't done it already.

Can you use Airport for internet and Gigabit Ethernet for file sharing?

i would like to complicate my network setup by using my Airport connection to the internet for internet access and then use the Gigabit Ethernet connection between my G5 tower and the MacBook Pro for file sharing, Compressor's distributed rendering, and possibly iTunes music/video sharing for Front Row.
is this possible? could i just run a cat 6 cable between the two and network them together? or do i need to get a Gigabit Switch?
i suppose i could just try running the cable between them and see what happens. i don't think these new machines require cross-over cables since the ethernet ports auto-detect that now, but is a cat 5e or cat 6 cable required for Gigabit speed?
thanks,
scott

Yes it would work. The Ethernet network would be used for local file transfers and the Airport for internet. However you will need to make sure Ethernet is at the top of the list of network ports in the Network Preferences.

Use airport for internet and ethernet for local?

Hi. Ive searched around and cant find an answer for this.
I have a 27" imac connected to my router and all works fine for accessing the internet.
I have several other devices close by that I want to connect via ethernet. If i connect the imac to another router via ethernet I can browse my local devices but loose internet connectivity. It is as if the imac will suspend the airport connection while the ethernet cable is connected. I don't want my second router to act as a bridge as it doesn't support N speeds.
Essentially, I want the imac to use airport for internet and the ethernet port for local files.... The only workaround I have is to unplug the ethernet cable from the back of the imac when i want to use the internet. I'm hoping it's just a DNS issue, but cant seem to resolve it.
I do not need internet connectivity for the other devices and don't see how i can do that without enabling the wireless side of my second router and then creating a bridge...
Any suggestions?

It is as if the imac will suspend the airport connection while the ethernet cable is connected.
The Connection Order on your iMac is set so that if both AirPort and Ethernet are "on", the iMac will give priority to the Ethernet connection.
If you want to configure your iMac so that it gives priority to an AirPort connection if both AirPort and Ethernet are "on", give this a try:
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and open Network
Click on the small gear icon at the bottom of the connection list on the left
Click on Set Service Order and drag AirPort to the top of the connection order list
Click OK, then click Apply
Now, if both AirPort and Ethernet are active, your iMac will give priority to the AirPort connection. If you want to connect using Ethernet, you will have to turn AirPort off by clicking the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of your computer screen.

My iPad 3 running iOS 8.1 will not upgrade to 8.3. I have downloaded 8.3 but when I press install now and choose agree nothing happens for hours. Any help?

MY ipad3 running iOS 8.1 does not upgrade to 8.3. I have downloaded 8.3 but when I press install now and choose agree, nothing happens for hours. Any help?.

You are in the wrong discussion forum, but ok:
-- You say it is running 8.1 now, but your profile says 6.1.3, plse update your profile.
-- Did you download in Mac iTunes? or directly in the iPhone?
if in Mac iTunes: check the following Finder location: Startupdisk->Homefolder (yourname)->Library->iTunes->iPadSoftwareUpdates : the downloaded file should be there and be complete the extension should be .ipsw, if it is not there or not complete you should download again.
if in the iPhone: notice that the install phase and verifying phase and restarting phase need (good) internet connection.

How can I add a new Template to My Templates in Pages? I've read most of the discussions on the subject but it doesn't work for me. By the time I reach the Templates folder, I only see templates for Numbers and not for Pages. Need help, please. Thanks

Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
iWork > Pages
contenant Templates > My Templates
comme il y a un dossier
iWork > Numbers
contenant Templates > My Templates
Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
puis lancez la recherche.
Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.
Pour moi il est temps de dormir.

Yes you should, you should always keep your browser, plugin and other software up to date, latest version are less buggy, fixed ton of crash, and fix some performance issue, so if you need best result, you should always keep your browser up to date.:)

Bought a Template for a customer Need Help

I know HTML but the coding to change things baffles me. I am out of help with the seller who is in Australia.
This is what the .txt looks like that I change function with.
&Home_txt8=<font color="#d0d0d0"><b>text goes here
It looks straightforward but I cant use /* */ or <!-- to deactivate stuff so I can try it out.
Any help would be welcomed.
the url of the site is www.danceations.com
I have done some mods but want to do more.
Joepd

The replies are terse and don't come right away. I bought it from some
outfit in Australia. When I asked how do I get rid of the pulldown phono on
the index page the answer was "remove the first page of the Flash.fla.
Except it took out the song I added and I would need tro recreate a Flash Page.
Ugh!
Not a good experience.

off. Make sure there are no alarms set for your
calendar either.

YOur phone is in recovery mode, any data that was on there is already gone, you will have to restore your phone and use whatever backup you to restore to.
