Plz Help setting up my Mac g4 with WRT54g. PLEASE!!

Hey, first let me say that I am brand new to doing anything wireless. Just never had the need for it before and now I am completly lost and havnt a clue what to do or where to go. Here is my situation and what I want to accomplish.
First I am not trying to go wireless with my Mac. I purchased the router so I could use my internet connection with my XBox360 which is hooked up downstairs from my computer. So basically what Iwant to do is just hardwire my Mac into the router and keep the router right next to my computer. I purchased the Xbox360 Wireless network adaptor and should have all the equipment to get this thing working. The problem is Idont know how to set up the router as no software for the Mac was included and I dont have a wireless card in my Mac or anything like that. I just wanted to plug the internet connection into the router, connect my Mac to port 1 and have the Xbox be the only thing really wireless. Ihope I explkained that good enough.
I tried just hooking it up and putting the Ethernet cord from my computer in Port 1 but nothing is working. Ieven tried setting up the Xbox360 and it keeps stopping at the DNS section of the setup operation.
I am clueless where to go from here. I called on the phone and they told me that it doesnt support the Mac but everywhere I look it says that the Mac is supported and even the sales guy said I could use my Mac with this model. I am completly lost and dont know who can help me now. What should have been really simple to setup has now been a total nightmare and a waste of 175 bucks.
I would be forever endebted to anyone who can help or even point me in the right direction. Again all I want is to keep the router by my computer and keep the computer connected with a wire. Its the Xbox that I really purchased this for. Plz help.
Thank you!!

Well, for the MAC you will have to manually configure the router. You forgot to mention the name of your ISP. If it’s a cable connection then try this :
Open IE and type http://192.168.1.1 . You will see the login screen.
Leave the username blank and type "admin" for the password. You will find the set up screen. Go to " Mac Address Clone" subtab. Enable it and click on "clone". Save the settings and power cycle If it’s a DSL connection , under the " Basic Setup " page, change the internet connection type as PPPoE and enter the username and password provided by the ISP.
Now, once you have an internet connection on the computer, you can try to use your x-box 360.

Help! New to Mac - compatability with DVI and JVC HDTV

Hope someone can help. I'm new to mac and have just bought a mac mini and a JVC LT32DS HDTV to use as a media centre. I've scanned through the hundreds of postings on the DVI problem with the mac and would like an idiots guide (literally!)as how to set the mini to work with the JVC TV.
Following the advice I've got the two working witha VGA connection but once I use the DVI/HDMI (profigold)cable the screen is not stable and keeps flashing in and out view. I've tried various resolution settings but get no stability. I've read about Switch Res X but don't really know if this is the right way to go.

I went to "Mediamarkt" and tried two Philips HDTVs
1) 26PF5320
2) 26PF9320
TV 1) had no problem accepting the DVI signal from the mini at all the native resolutions I tried (no extra software). TV 2) -- originally my favoured one -- had a barely noticeable overscan on the menubar.
So I bought the 26PF5320: a bit cheaper but also higher native resolution.
So it pays to compare even similar models. Retailers will understand the situation. However, it's important to go on a slow day -- not on Saturday -- and maybe hurry up before Christmas. Understandably they don't want to spend too much time on demonstrations when the store is full of potential customers.
The young man from the store was very impressed with the mini. Less impressed with Quicktime and that you have to pay to get a full-screen video. But that's another story.
I was able to carry the TV and the mini (the latter in a backpack) from the store to the tram and then from the tram stop to home. Just two year ago this would have been science-fiction.
I will try to collect more data on HDTV/mini matches and mismatches and maybe put it in an ASCII table for a start.

Plz help!! m having issue with heat and not responding

my blackberry z10 get heat up and my apps and setting are not opening. when i click on it, it redirect me to 1st screen. even i cant open my setting too. so i cant do a securitywipe also. plz help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try doing a reboot first. Press and hold your power button for about 15 seconds until you see BlackBerry on your screen. Don't release it before that despite what might appear on your screen.
If that doesn't fix the problem, you can reset your phone to factory specs by using BlackBerry Link. If memory serves me, once your phone has connected to Link the button to press in Link is Options in the top right corner then Reload Software.
Keep us up to date on your progress.
- If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

Help setting up Applescript to process with a batch of files.

Hello everyone!
A couple of days ago I posted here about needing an Applescript to be able to parse large text files into smaller ones. A lovely contributor, twtwtw, helped me out and came up with this script:
set f to choose file with prompt "Choose the file to parse."
tell application "Finder"
    set fName to name of f
    -- the following line assumes that the file name has a three character extension, like '.txt'
    set foldName to text 1 thru -5 of fName
    set fold to (make new folder at (path to documents folder from user domain) with properties {name:foldName}) as text
end tell
set fp to open for access f
set bigText to read fp
close access fp
set parsingText to "All Rights Reserved"
set parsedList to tid(bigText, parsingText)
-- the following line requires that the file name be exactly in the form "<prefix>_<suffix>" with only one underscore
set {prefix, suffix} to tid(fName, "_")
repeat with i from 1 to count of parsedList
    set newFName to prefix & "_a" & i & "_" & suffix
    set fp to open for access (fold & newFName) with write permission
    -- uncomment the following line if you need to overwrite old files, otherwise it will append
    -- set EOF of fp to 0
    write ((item i of parsedList & parsingText) as text) to fp
    close access fp
end repeat
on tid(input, delim)
    -- a subroutine to handle text item delimiters. Useful tool, but so danged wordy.--
    set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, delim}
    if class of input is list then
        set output to input as text
    else
        set output to text items of input
    end if
    set my text item delimiters to oldTID
    return output
end tid
It turns out however, that I have about 500 of these large files that need parsing, so I was wondering if there might be a way to modify the script by allowing more than one input file, so that it would repeat the parsing action for all input files passed to it.
Can anyone help?

try this:
set f to choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder containing your files."
traverseFolder(f)
on traverseFolder(fold)
     tell application "System Events"
         set containedItems to every disk item of fold whose visible is true
         repeat with thisItem in containedItems
               if class of thisItem is folder then
                   my traverseFolder(thisItem)
               else if type identifier of thisItem contains "plain-text" then
                   my processFile(thisItem, fold)
               end if
         end repeat
     end tell
end traverseFolder
on processFile(thisFile, itsFolder)
     tell application "System Events"
         set fName to name of thisFile
-- the following line assumes that the file name has a three character extension, like '.txt'
         set foldName to text 1 thru -5 of fName
         set newFold to path of (make new folder at end of itsFolder with properties {name:foldName})
     end tell
     set fp to open for access thisFile
     set bigText to read fp
close access fp
     set parsingText to "All Rights Reserved"
     set parsedList to tid(bigText, parsingText)
-- the following line requires that the file name be exactly in the form "<prefix>_<suffix>" with only one underscore
     set {prefix, suffix} to tid(fName, "_")
     repeat with i from 1 to count of parsedList
         set newFName to prefix & "_a" & i & "_" & suffix
         set fp to open for access (newFold & newFName) with write permission
-- uncomment the following line if you need to overwrite old files, otherwise it will append
-- set EOF of fp to 0
write ((item i of parsedList & parsingText) as text) to fp
close access fp
     end repeat
end processFile
on tid(input, delim)
-- a subroutine to handle text item delimiters. Useful tool, but so danged wordy.--
     set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, delim}
     if class of input is list then
         set output to input as text
     else
         set output to text items of input
     end if
     set my text item delimiters to oldTID
     return output
end tid
I changed to system events for efficiency reasons (the Finder can get bogged down with too much scripting). the only place you might run into issues is line 11, where it says else if type identifier of thisItem…. that might miss files if they have odd type identifiers (though it should get most plain-text files). I only put that if statement in there to keep from processing spurious files that might be in the folders - you can replace that whole line with a simple else if you find it's gumming up the works.

Is it possible to set up 2013 Mac Pro with wireless keyboard?

Is a connected keyboard required to set up 2013 Mac Pro or is it possible to do with just a wireless keyboard/mouse?

I use the Blue Tooth Keyboard and Wireless mouse that came with my MacPro. I've never had any trouble using it during a Fresh install setup.
The Trackpad, however, is a different story. That has never worked during the setup. I have to get the OS istalled and set up the trackpad before I can use it.

Help setting up small home network with PC and an imac!!!?

I have an imac in my room, and my mother has a JP PC in her room across the house. We have a router and modem on her computer(I connect to the internet through the router signal)
I just recently bought a new printer. It is a wifi printer. I was told by a friend that I need to setup a small netowrk so all the computers/printers in the house can talk to one another. Because right now my printer is installed and connected to the router signal (but my computer does not reconize it to print....)
I started a small network on my moms PC...but when I can't make a network CD like it tells me to because my computer is a Mac....how do I continue to setup this network?Can I set it up first on my mac as well???PLEASE HELP! I want to use my printer!

You can just connect the WRT54G wireless router’s LAN port to BEFSR41 router’s LAN port by using a network cable as specified in this configuring wireless router as access point article, after that can connect other computers to that wireless router with or without cable. Finally do more test to check the performance. Hope it helps.

Help: Set up Time Machine Drive with Airport Extreme

I've read a few posts on this topic, none of which addressed my specific issue, but all of which stated that this functionality is not officially supported. I really hope this is not true because I bought my Airport Extreme and Hard Drive based on numerous Apple Store clerks assuring me that this was possible. So any help would be most appreciated. Here's the details/story:
I have a 13" MBP 2.53ghz, running 10.5.8 I've been backing up to a local 1TB HDD over FW800 since July with no problems.
I bought an Airport Extreme and am trying to move the drive to the AE to back up wirelessly. Here's what's happened so far:
1. I connected the drive with USB to the AE. It mounted no problem and I could see all my backups easily, but Time Machine did not recognize it as my back up drive. When I used the "Change Drive" button in the hopes of "finding" the drive, it just tried to start a new Time Machine back up set, wirelessly. So I think the broad concept is working, it just a matter of getting TM to recognize the back up set.
2. I plugged the drive in locally with USB (rather than FW800) and did a back up, no problem. After doing this, and plugging the drive back into the AE, TM no recognizes my backup set as mine, and tries to start the next backup, but I got an error message about not being able to write to the drive.
3. I did some reading online to get some ideas, I used Disk Utility to verify and repair the drive (over USB locally) Disk utility did find some errors, but it didn't seem like anything major.
4. Now, TM really starts to get going doing a backup, but when it actually comes time to transfer/write the new data over, I get an new error, that my drive is not formatted as a Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I use disk utitilty again, which confirms that the drive IS Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and is partitioned GUID (which I read is also a requirement)
And this is where I am. Any one have any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I'd hate to think it's just to sell their $500 2TB Timecapsule (which is more than 2x the cost of competing 2Tb drives). Maybe Apple should share their secret sauce with the other drive makers so that they all can work.
Though you seem to hate it, you have indeed hit the nail... I also had issues with USB attached drives on my AEBS (Airport Extreme Base Station). This problem occurred before Apple had the policy statement in place and they ended up exchanging my AEBS, since it was crashing the AEBS when the USB drive did not become accessible (it was a WD brand that didn't play nice with any USB connection, as it later turned out). I suspect there was nothing wrong then with my original AEBS' USB connection, but the replacement was more reliable overall however, so it proved a boon. Perhaps Apple learned something from my previous problems.
Anyway, Apple is not without its reasons for this policy. That's the long story.
Short story? Use supported configurations only if you want a reliable backup. In my case, can easily move my drive to a Mini and have it run in a supported configuration whether by sparse bundle format or otherwise.
Network connections do indeed format the way described. You can check this very thorough article...Suggest you read the unofficially sanctioned discussion list article by Pondini (kudos for your thoroughness, sir/madam!) first. Many great suggestions and nifty storage ideas to maximize your use of available media in your particular situation will come from a careful reading.

Need help setting up a file sharing with VISTA

Hi,
Can somebody help me with setting up a connection to a Windows Vista computer. I followed all the instructions from this forum but still it doesn't work.
Here is what I'm doing:
1) Sharing -> File Sharing -> enabled
2) Sharing -> Options -> activating SMB
3) Network -> Options -> WINS -> "WORKGROUP"
4) Network -> Options -> 802.1X -> activating 802.1X
Under Sharing I see a lable which tells me that Windows user can access my computer via the address smb://x.x.x.x
In Windows this address doesn't work and I cannot see my Mac computer nor can I see the windows computer on the mac.
It worked so well with TIGER.
Do you have set the DHCP to automatic address on both, Mac and windows or do you use a static ip address?

In windows when you do "map network drive" you need to enter "\\server\share" (without quotes).
In Vista, go to the Windows Button > Computer. The "map network drive" option is in the bar in the top of the window. You may need to enlarge the window or click on the little expand arrow to see it.
smb://server is used when you're connecting to a windows share from the MacOS.

I need to help set up my parents laptop with a second iTunes account then sync an iPad and shuffle

It's post Christmas and I'd like to help my parents by setting up my dad onto itunes ( has his own apple ID already ) as he just got an iPad Thing is, the laptop has moms iTunes already. I need to find a tutorial on how to do the second iTunes account. We don't need to share files as both want to control own purchases and own playlists. On dads account we need to add a shuffle.
Is it simple? As in once I download iTunes again, I log out mom and log in dad .
How Can this be done?
Thanks.

Hello Miss,
To set up a new Windows user account, if it is Windows 7, go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts and Family Safety > Add or Remove User Accounts > Create New Account.
The old laptop is probably on Windows XP, so the menus may look a little different.
Once they each have their own Windows user account, they can each work with their own iTunes library, and all content will be independently managed. That should avoid snarls and demerits in the coming year.

Need help setting up a mac to mac network (2 machines)

First, I apologize for the cross posting, but this got no replies in the networking category.
I have a new mac mini and I'm struggling to setup a network with the mini that shows my old G5 dual 1.8. The old computer has two internal hard drives. I've turned on everything (file sharing, etc.) I can think of in both machines.
I have a Netopia wireless dsl modem/router. Setup was done painlessly via firewire and I could see all drives on the old computer while hooked up via firewire.
Switching over to ethernet only I am only able to see the superdrive on the G5. Not the hard drives, just the superdrive. The old machine is now hooked into the ethernet router.
How do I get the mac mini to see the other computer via ethernet? Is this a Bonjour thing, and if so, where do I find that application?
I am sure this must be an absurdly simple thing to do but I am puzzled why it worked via firewire and lost when hooked up via ethernet. This forum has been super helpful in the past so I'm turning here for help.
Thanks

Connect to the other Mac by clicking on its icon under 'Shared' in the sidebar of a Finder window. The window will show you the Public Folders for the accounts on that Mac, and in tbe top right-hand corner is a 'Connect as...' button. Click that. In the pane which opens, click the radio button for 'Registered user', and enter the username and password for the user you want to access. You should be able to click 'Remember this password in my keychain' to save having to enter the details in future, but it's never worked for me.

Help setting up my audio interface with logic pro x

Hi everyone,
I am a newbie with regards to home recording and using Logic Pro X and I need some help and advice about setting up my home recording set up for the first time. I want to connect my synthesizer Korg Triton Extreme to my Audio Interface Steinberg UR22 to my Apple Imac computer.
What I would like is if I can create backing tracks or use pre-set sounds or drum patterns from my Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer and then transfer them onto Logic Pro X to help me compose songs.
How should I go about doing this? And what settings should be applied to Logic Pro X so that I can hear the songs as they are being played and recorded?
So far I have connected my synthesizer's two outputs to the two inputs on my Steinberg UR22 Audio Interface. I have also connected the USB point on the audio interface to my Apple Imac computer. But when I have tried to add a drum track from the Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer I cannot seem to add any of the drum sounds. Nothing appears to be recorded despite me trying several times. I cannot hear any sound coming from the audio interface either despite having a pair of headphones plugged into it.
I would also like to find a way to synchronise the drum tracks I want to record from my Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer to Logic Pro X. So that when I click on the record button on Logic Pro X the synthesizer track automatically starts playing and recording on Logic Pro X. Whats the best way to do this? And will I need a Midi cable for any of the things I want to do?
Many thanks,
James.

Hi James
I just got myself a macbook pro and logic pro X, and I also have a Triton Extreme and the UR22. So I know what the learning curve can be like - it's been a long time since I've used a sequencer in a computer.
I assume you are aware of the difference between audio and midi? With your current setup, all you can do is play your Triton and record the sounds as audio loops - you should be able to hear the Triton through headphones plugged into the UR22, and (assuming you have installed the UR22 driver) you can also hear the Triton through your computer speakers (or headphone output) once you tell Logic there is sound coming in from the UR22.
If you want to be able to play the sounds in logic pro, or transfer drum patterns (which are in midi format), you will definitely need midi cables (you may be able to use midi by connecting the Triton's USB out to your computer, but having not tried that, I don't know if it will work - it does on more recent synths)

Need help setting up an IP phone with the Westell 9100EM router

I have an IP phone that I use for work - it's an old fashioned Axxess phone by InterTel but it works. I've had both DSL and cable service before, using a Netgear wireless router with the phone and never had an issue with the phone connecting to our office phone system. I just recently moved and have FIOS and chose not to hook up the Netgear, since the Westell does DHCP just fine.
When I connect the phone, the phone is receiving an IP address from the router and I can see it's connected when I'm logged onto the router but it will not connect with our system. The phone runs through UDP port 5567 but connects usually with TCP port 5566. I can ping 5566 and get a reply. I can telnet our Remote IPC IP using 5566 and get a response but the phone times out after 60 seconds of not being able to connect.
I have checked out this website and am guessing it has something to do with port forwarding. I tried to make some changes but I'm not sure I understand enough about how it's supposed to work to feel confident that I put the right information in the right places!
I could really use a nudge in the right direction. The phone worked a few days ago on a DSL connection so I know the phone is working. Other users who work from home are not having issues with their IP phones so I've narrowed it down to the router. Both my computers are working on the system too.
Thanks!
Anne

#1 http://i27.tinypic.com/2due29v.jpg
At that screen in your router, change the Starting IP so that it is
192.168.1.100
#2 On the Axxess phone by InterTel, setup a static IP outside of that range.
You can set any number that you want to BUT NOT: 0, 1, 100 to 255.
#3 Here is/are guide(s) for that router (This is based upon the screen images seen so far)
