Question Because I Know Nothing About Networking

Okay, so, my dad and I know next to nothing about networking. So we have a question for you "learned" folks. Is there a way to connect the wireless router to a normal router? We're asking because we have three Macs, my PowerBook G4, my dad's G5 iMac, and my mother's G4. We're looking into the wireless for mine and possibly my dad's, but my mother's computer is sitting right next to the regular router, so wireless isn't completely necessary. Meanwhile my dad's is across the room, so we have a cord running across it.
Please, help the needy, not-too-knowledgeable as we attempt to get wirelessified.

Is there a way to connect the wireless router
to a normal router?
Yes, connect the wireless router to the normal router by an ethernet cable.
Configure the wireless router to NOT distribute IP addresess (this turns it into a wireless access point, which allows the "normal" router to do this job.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Pretend I know nothing about this topic, because I DON'T, and help me figure out how to format bullets in 'Pages' for IPad. I turned them on somehow, and now can't turn them off, and they are popping up in all the wrong places

    I think I effectively proved my point about knowing nothing about this, by posting my whole question in the title. To review, I have a 1 year old iPad, and have Pages on it for a word processing program. I somehow turned on bullets on one of my documents and can't figure out how to stop it, and they are in all the wrong places. How do I turn it off?

    If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
    click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number.  You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers.  A camera might help.
    Good Luck

    I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

    How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad  ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

    I hope you are correct.  When I click on the Macintosh HD icon on my desk top the sidebar  section that says shared shows the server I mentioned. 
    Just as I said.
    If i click on that shared device it logs in as a guest unless I cancel that action.
    No, it logs your computer into that server as a guest.
    I never knowingly  ok'ed sharing with another network or computer. 
    Perhaps not, but the printer is set up (possibly at manufacture) to offer services to computers on its network.
    IF I click on the shared device to delete it a message says I cannot do that.  Any thoughts?
    It the device is still on your network and still offering services, it will be listed as available. If it leaves the network or stops offering services, it should leave the list of available servers.
    I suppose it might be handy to have a "hide this server" or "pretend this server doesn't exist" button, but we don't have one.

  • HT204053 I know nothing about ipads so help me.  My ipad backed up to the cloud on Friday or Saturday.  I changed my password, Sunday and cannot remember it.  I have photos and video I cannot lose.  When will this automatically save to my cloud next

    I forgot my password on my ipad (changed it late in evening).  It was backed up to cloud on Friday or Saturday.  Important pictures and videos of my daughter were taken Sunday.  I've tried to put in password and now its disabled.  I was told I need to erase and start over.  Will Icould backup again in a few days and they I can delete and start over and reput stuff from Icloud back on ipad once I reset and do new password?  I know nothing about computers.  Please help

    Oh my! Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing. But I do know that my goal was to do both---backup AND free some space. My iMAc is old (2006) and I upgraded it a year or so ago to Snow Leopard. I didn't think I had the capability of backing up without an external drive, but  maybe I do since I upgraded. Do I?
    But I bought this My Book mostly for freeing space because I like to make cards in Photoshop and I'm forever running out of space when I get too many layers (don't really know what I'm doing there, either).
    Is there some way that I can rectify my mistakes and start all over?
    Thank you so much for  beng so prompt with your reply and patient with mine. I tried for so long to see the dialog box with the library listings. When I launched iPhoto, even with holding down the Option key, it kept immediately launching into the full screen. Finally, after an hour of doing it over and over again, it worked when I held the key down for 5 minutes. Then when I was typing my reply, I kept getting a message to "Request Time Out." Didn't know how to do that, so kept hitting the OK button and kept typing for another half minute. Finally, when ready to send, Safari couldn't do it. "Try again" exasperated me until I realized I would have to begin again and use Firefox. When I got there and ready to type, I got the message  that my message had been retrienved and did I want to use it?!!
    So your kindness is very much appreciated.

  • HT1695 I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little bit of information in the folder that came with it, all I can do is turn it on, but it just powers down after a few seconds.  How do I work this thing?

    I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little information that came with it, all I can do is turn it on.  Then in a few seconds it goes black, never having brought up a screen to do anything!  Help!  What do I do to get this thing going?

    You might consider connecting it to the charger and charging up the battery overnight.

  • I just inherited a 64GB ipad. I have passwords for the deceased person but would like to sync it with my mac osx.  Know nothing about ipads. Help please

    I just inherited a 64 GB ipad.  I have passwords for the deceased person but would like to reset everything and start new. I use a mac/0SX but know nothing about an ipad other than turning it on.  I am in the same household as the deceased person but does not seem to be recognizing the wireless setup.  Any help would be appreciated. Any recommendations as to where to start.

    That's really enough information. You can update this iPad to iOS 6.1.2. If there is a microphone icon next to the space bar on the keyboard, you have an iPad 3. But if you are saying that it hasn't been touched for over a year, it probably is not the iPad 3. The iPad 3 is one year old this week IIRC.
    If you want, you can go to Settings >General>About>Model to find the model number and it you Google that, you can find out which version of the iPad it is.
    I just wanted to see what iOS you would be able to update to. I'm not sure what else to tell you other than what we've already stated. You should set this up as new, update the iOS and then start all over again with you own iTunes content.
    The link that Eric posted would be a good place to start so that you can get an idea of what the iPad can do. If you want to restore the iPad back to factory settings, you will need to do this with iTunes on your Mac. You must be running OS X 10.6.8 at minimum and must be using iTunes 10.6.3 (I think) in order to syn with iTunes on the Mac.
    This explains how to restore to factory settings.

    if you are that uncomfortable trying to do this on your own, and if there is an Apple Store near you, make an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar and ask an Apple tech to help you with it. That is what they do. There is no charge for an Apple Store Genius Bar visit. The stores also offer classes for the iPad that you might find useful as well.

  • I just bought a Ipad and know nothing about it I plugged in to charge and tryed to turn on and all it shows is the Itunes icon a picture of the cord. What does this mean? Cant get it to do anything else

    I just bought a Ipad and know nothing about it. I have been charging it for about 2 hours and when I try to turn it on it shows the Itune icon and the plug thats it wont do anything else. Any suggestions on what to do?

    iPads are devices and not PCs, so it needs a functioning relationship with a PC to work.
    Download iTunes onto your PC, then connect your iPad to that PC.  That should get you started.

  • URGENT !!!! I know nothing about java .... ;o)

    Hi all,
    here is my problem, I am working on a demo for a customer, I am business consultant and I know nothing about java and I have noone next to give a hand, so please help.
    I integrated a content in a Learning Management System. When launching this content in the LMS, an applet is created. I get a first page where I have to chose an option. When clicking on any of the options, I get nothing. On my java console, I can read this :
    java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.swing.UIManager.c()Ljava/lang/String;
         at com.cbt.jasmine.Jasmine.Jasmine.b([DashoPro-V1.32-013000])
         at com.cbt.jasmine.Jasmine.JasmineApplet.run([DashoPro-V1.32-013000])
         at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
    What can I do to make this ******* content work.
    Many thanks for your answers.
    XToff.

    First of all, nothing is urgent to us, only to you.
    Second, the error is clearly stated being NoSuchMethodError i.e. the program is trying to call a method that hasn't been for some reason included in the program.
    Third, I have no idea what Learning Management System is (and I'm not the only one).
    Fourth, why did you put "Re: URGENT !!!! I know nothing about java .... ;o)" as the topic instead of "Learning Management System"?

  • Since I updated to firefox 7 this month...Ihave no sound on my computer and I know nothing about computers... :(

    I updated firefox recently....last couple weeks...I think to 7...and now I have no sound on my computer...I do recall being told that something was no compatible but...oooops...I must have agreed to do it anyway......obviously I know nothing about computers...help...what do I do now. I have to have sound...this is the pits...

    See:
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/No+sound+in+Firefox
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Video+or+audio+does+not+play
    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
    Current Firefox versions use the plugin-container process to run plugins, so you need to check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />
    You will only see the Firefox program or the Plugin Container in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.<br />

  • Buying Used Nano but know nothing about iPod...Need help!!!

    Hello, first off let me say I know nothing about iPods. I want to buy a used one. I was told that iTunes will only recognize 1 iPod. The person I am buying it from tells me that she is unable to sync both her new iPod and old iPod to her itunes. She gets a message stating that only one iPod can be synced to iTunes. I don't want to purchase this from her only to find that it will not sync to my iTunes.
    Does iTunes have some sort of security feature that will prevent me from purchasing this from her and syncing it with my iTunes? If so can I reset an iPod back to factory settings?
    Please help???

    I bought an ipod nano 5th generation used from someone in China. It is not showing up in iTunes, but it does show up on my mac desktop. I believe it was reformatted and is not recognized by iTunes. How can I fix this? Is there a way to restore without using iTunes? How can I reformat?

  • Please help me with my project- I know nothing about PS!!!!

    I want to major in Photography and have to take a Digital Imaging class. The first project is a Mr. Potato Head body with all the parts (eyes, mouth, hands, etc.) scattered around it. I have to create layers I guess to put the body parts in but have NO idea how to do it! I know how to create a new layer, but I don't know how to put the body parts in the layer or anything! The only thing I've done with Photoshop prior to this is editing photos but have no idea how to do anything else and have always been confused with the layers in Photoshop and never really understood the feature. (This is an online class BTW).
    Also, I asked this somewhere else and the person told me that when I selected the part of the image I wanted to put in the new layer, I can select the copy via layer and a new layer is automatically created. However, I can't seem to access that layer when I click on it and it doesn't appear to be locked. Why is this? (The answer is probably something obvious but I'm so new at Photoshop I know pretty much nothing about it!)
    If anyone can help me, I would reeeally appreciate it!!!!

    Hi,
    Below are some tutorial link explaining layers.
    http://www.photoshopessentials.com/basics/layer-shortcuts/
    http://www.tutorial9.net/photoshop/working-with-layers-in-photoshop/
    For extracting a perticular part you have to create selection for the part and Press Ctrl+J to copy paste in new layer.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers,
