Please help - I need to find a compatable UK ISP provider
I recently bought a MAc Mini and my ISP doesn't work on it. I was told by my current ISP that I need to buy a wireless connection, so went to John Lewis and bought a Airport (the guy in the shop said this would work on my Mac Mini).
I have not been able to get past switching it on and the light flashed amber and does not go to green as it's suposed to.
I have called the ISP and they say that it should work and they can't help.
All it says in the Airport book is that if the line flashes amber it means there's a problem with the connection or ISP. Could it also be that when I configured the Airport I have done it wrong? Would that also cause it to flash?
I think it might be the ISP is not compatable.. it does say in the AIrport smallprint that not all ISPs are compatable..
Does anybody know of a UK ISP that can offer assistance to set up that I can join - I have phoned a few but nobody seems to be able to help.
Please reply soon if poss - I don't have internet cannot go home to do this forum!
Hi there, I have checked and see that the Mac Mini has Airport built in. I take it therefore that the guy in John Lewis sold you an Airport Extreme Base Station (white dome like thing!)?
If so this is fine but you will need something else to connect to the net. Basically the Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS from now on!) does not contain an ADSL modem (the bit that connects to the internet). The AEBS is for wireless networking and will send a signal around your house that the Mac Mini can receive. If you want to connect to the net you need a modem (unless you have cable access and if so shout) and a typical device would be like the one below:-
http://www.adslnation.com/products/xmodem-m3.php
Very good supplier too!
Once you have this box the modem plugs in to the phone socket and from the modem you connect to the AEBS with via ethernet connections. A bit of configuring (ask if you need help with this) and the Mac Mini should be able to connect.
As for compatible ISP's then most, if not all, are OK with Macs. You find that some of them don't offer support (AOL, Tiscali) but they will work happily - all you need is username and password and pop this in to the configaration for the AEBS and off you go.
Back to John Lewis - if they sold you a small square device then this is basically used to extend your wireless network when, for instance, you want to share music with your hi-fi or perhaps share a printer. Hopefully you got the dome like device!
I have this setup and it works well. I have set others up with devices from the likes of netgear that contain a wireless box plus modem but for some reason Apple never offered one to the UK market. I think it has something to do with the fact that the US tends to have cable access to the internet and so on.
Let us know how you get on!
Cheers
Michael

There is no Siri "icon". You access Siri using the Home button. But you may need to turn it on: Settings App > General > Siri. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4992

I recently purchased a Canon 7D. I own Adobe Photoshop/Bridge CS5. I cannot open my raw images in Bridge. I have tried to download the plug in but does not seem to work. Please Help, I need to be able to open my raw images in Bridge ASAP. I do not want to upgrade to CS6 at this time.
If you had given us sensible information, I could look it up for you if your efforts fail.
Right now, I don't even know if you are on a Mac or on a Windows box.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

Please Help , I Need semicolon ; after TABLESPACE "MFEED_DATA"
Hi All,
please Help , I Need semicolon ; after TABLESPACE "MFEED_DATA"
as I am getting ; like below example
select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', 'A') || ';' As Result
from dual;
CREATE TABLE "MFEED"."A"
( "A" NUMBER
) PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 NOCOMPRESS LOGGING
STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 NEXT 1048576 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645
PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT)
TABLESPACE "MFEED_DATA"
regards,Hi,
well, I don´t know if this works for any table, but I tried two of mine and it was ok:
select substr(dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', '<table_name>'), 1,
length(dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', '<table_name>') || ';')-4)|| ';' As Result
from dual;
If the string gets too long, you must use dbms_lob - functions for string manipulation, but for "normally sized" tables, it should work.
Regards,
Gerd

Please help I need to rest the deleted history
Please help I need to rest the deleted history
rest??
Did you mean "restore"?
Sorry, if you deleted your browsing history it is gone. No backups are made for browsing history, unless you have that set that up in a 3rd party application. Or if you have a backup of the places.sqlite file, which is where that data is stored in Firefox. -
i have been backing up since 2010 but my machine will only go as far back as feb 11 ... why is this? please help i need valueable info from 2010
Welcome to the discussion area!
When the Time Capsule disk starts to become full, Time Machine will automatically delete the oldest backups first to make room for new backups.
For more details, I think you will get a faster and more informed response if you post in the TIme Machine forum for questions like this. We primarily handle configuration set up and networking questons about the Time Capsule as a hardware device on this forum, but it's possible that someone may see your post and respond from here as well.
Please click the link below and then click the "Refine this list" 'button to see the Time Machine area.

my macbook pro 15inch running on maverick when i try to click on wi-fi says no hardware installed please help i need wifi and and under network staus wi-fi is fail and under network airport is not connected can anybody help the wifi icon has a x and does not even let me turn it on
Have you attempted to reset the SMC? That would be the first step. Hold the left control, option, shift key and the power button for about 5 seconds and release. Then try to reboot. Might as well reset the PRAM as well. Hold command, option, P, R on start up until the machine restarts. If that doesnt' have any affect we'll have to dig deeper into a potential hardware failure.
If this method doesn't work, check the webcam that will tell the problem is on the iSight & WiFi cable. If your webcam is ok, then it'll be the WiFi card problem. Hope it can help ;-)

Hello purpleroses68
To download any photos that were on your My Photos Stream, then you will need to have Photo Streamed turned on within your computer. Keep in mind that My Photos Stream only holds the last 30 days of photos and those will be the only one that will download. Check out the articles below for more information for the process and general information about getting your photos downloaded.
