Randomy connection switches between 3G, EDGE, and home WiFi

I'm working on a Calibre/Stanza connection between my iPhone and my laptop so I can read my .lit/.mobi/.txt/.pdf/.etc ebooks all on one device: the iPhone. It's a portability and convenience thing.
However, the connection between the two devices and their respective apps will only work over WiFi.
My iPhone will connect to the home WiFi, alongside the laptop, no problem, but then randomly switch to 3G when I load various apps. It actually matters with the Calibre/Stanza thing because both devices must be on the same WiFi.
I turned off 3G. The phone now switches to EDGE whenever I load the Stanza app. There doesn't appear to be a way to turn off the EDGE option in the iPhone settings.
How do I give my phone no place to go but the WiFi? How do I turn off the EDGE bit?
Both Calibre(laptop) and Stanza(iPhone) seem to be in otherwise perfect working order.

You cannot force the iPhone to use 3G. While you can force it to use EDGE by toggling off 3G, your iPhone will automatically drop down to EDGE when it cannot get a good 3G connection. If you want to use only WiFi, simply place it in AIrplane Mode. Note that while in Airplane Mode you cannot receive calls or text messages.

Should Iplace my ethernet switch between cable modem and airport extreme?

I'm looking for the best placement of an ethernet switch in my home network.
Should I place it "between" my cable modem and my AEBS or connect it to the output from my AEBS?
The current placement is connected to one of the AEBS outputs.
I'm attempting to set up an old AE (802.11 a/g from 2004) with a different network name than my home network, that I'm trying to set up for a college dorm network and each time I plug the AE to the switch to confirm its functionality, my network gets a little confused.
Help appreciated.
Regards,
jim P.

Should I place it "between" my cable modem and my AEBS or connect it to the output from my AEBS?
This all depends on whether you have a simple modem.....or.....a modem/router or gateway combination device.
If you have a simple modem, you cannot place the switch between the modem and the AEBS. The reason for this is that the modem can only deliver one valid IP address and it will be a matter of chance as to which of the devices connected to the switch receives it. The other device connected to the switch will not be able to access the Internet.
If you have a modem/router or gateway type of device, you can place the switch after the modem/router and before the AEBS if you wish, although there is really no advantage to doing so unless this makes things easier for you in terms of hook up.
If none of this makes much sense at all to you, leave the switch in its current location connected to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AEBS since that setup will work correctly no matter what type of "modem" that you might have.

MacBook Pro won't automatically switch between internal speakers and display audio

I have a MacBook Pro that connects to a LED Cinema display. It used to automatically switch between internal speakers and display audio when plugged in to the display but won't anymore. I have to manually change it in System Preferences --> Sound. Does anyone know how to make it do that again?
thanks,
Ben

I just want to add, I have the same problem, and just want to help raise awareness of it.
1st, the problem only started recently (have been using the Thunderbolt display since it was released), I did not have this problem, and noticed it beginning only in the last month. (since January)
2nd, My particular setup, includes a hard drive attached to the firewire port on the back of the Thunderbolt Display (so, I am wondering if anyone else experienced this problem with a firewire drive being connected).
     My full setup:
          Macbook Air (2011)
         Thunderbolt display
          Western Digital drive (attached to firewire of display)
3rd, If I go into settings, what I will see is the "Display Audio" is selected (but no sound coming out),
If I then select "Internal Speakers," a buffered "history" of all the sounds I did not hear is then played (pretty funny actually) - for example, if I sent mail, adjusted the volume, and started playing a song.... it immediately plays all those sounds when selecting "Internal Speakers"
4th, If i then select "Display Audio" - it does nothing
5th, what I have to do, to resolve this is: eject all my hard drives, disconnect the thunderbolt cable, then reconnect the thunderbolt cable, and everything works as normal.

Iphone switching between pod cast and Ipod shuffle

Hello, I have an IPhone 3 G and while I am running at my gym it keeps switching between my IPod and my podcast player. I have checked my internet connections and it is fine. I know I am not hitting the shuffle buttoon because I turn the sceen saver off, after I have selected the Pod Cast music that I like. Is it the head phones or the IPhone?

One thing that might help out.
The button on the headphones does not have the ability to shuffle media files.
One click to pause or play. two clicks to advance to the next track.
Here is a link to the iphone user guide that might help out.
Check out page 63 for shuffle and repeat features.

Hope this helps.

HT4437 What is difference between air play and home sharing if you just want to show iPhoto's on HD tv through apple tv (just purchased MacBook Air and Apple tv)

What is difference between air play and home sharing when wanting to show photos on HD tv through apple tv? Just bought Mac book air and apple tv.

You would have to use home-sharing if streaming from a computer. Computer would need to be on and running iTunes.

Airplay would be useful if streaming from an IOS device

Wireless connection lost between my router and printer (hp officejet 4620)

My hp officejet 4620 printer has been working fine but now the wireless connection has been lost and I can't get the wireless connection back. The blue light for the wifi flashes blue. I can't get the connection back between the router and the printer because my wifi is actually working fine with my laptop. Any suggestions about what i can do to get the connection back so I can print again?
Is it something I need to do on the printer screen or laptop to fix the problem?

Have you powered off everything and power up again? Power off printer and router. Power on router and wait 2 mins. Power up printer and see if it connects to your SSID.

Can't connect to the internet in my home yet other devices can. I tried it in other Wifi places and it connects without a problem. My home Wifi is with Att uverse

Can't connect to the internet in my home yet other devices can. I tried it in other wifi places and it connects without a problem. My home wifi is with ATT Uverse. I cheched the IP address on my laptop and its different than on my Ipod although it on the same network.

Move off WEP to WPA or, preferably, to WPA2 (as recommended by Apple). WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi Alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be cracked in seconds by any hacker).
Note that each device on a network has a unique IP address but if your address starts with 169 then you did not get a valid IP address assigned to you by your router. If restarting the router did not cure the problem then you should check for a firmware update for your router.

I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

While not in edit mode:
- if start typing numbers, then it enters number mode.
- if start typing text, then it enters text mode.
Using the arrow keys exits edit mode. So this should work for you:
1 Type text into a cell, which enters text mode.
2 Press Return to move to the next cell.
3 Press right arrow key to exit edit mode.
4 Press left arrow key to get back to the cell.
5 Type a number, which enters number mode.
Another method that requires more planning ahead of time is to format the cells as text or number before starting the data entry. Then when you navigate to a cell while in edit mode, you will be in the appropriate mode (without having to exit edit mode).
This all works fine for me. Hopefullly it does for you also.

Trying to connect my iphone 4 to my home wifi network! my android phone gives me the option of pushing the arrows button on my router and on my android phone but cannot find the "push the arrows button" option on my iphone 4. is this option available???

No such option on an iPhone. Just go to Settings>wifi, tap the name (SSID) of your your home network from the list, then when prompted, enter the password.

Switching between page layout and word processing

I can't seem to switch between page layout and word processing view. I've read all the posts on this and still can't figure out why I can't just type a document into Pages. The only option I have in page layout view is to type into text boxes, which is not what I want. I just want to type a letter for crying out loud.
Before I get all the rants about reading User Guides, etc. *I have*. I've also searched on here and in-app help and just don't understand the fuzzy/non-existant answers. Obviously, I'm a newbie, so please don't jump all over me for this. If it was Word - I could do this in NO time. I just find it incredibly frustrating that inputting a normal document should be so difficult.
Is "Pages" *not* a word processing program? Is it just a cut and paste application? Sorry for the tone - I mean no disrespect - it's just that I've been fooling around with this for DAYS and I just don't have time to spare anymore. I really need to get this done.
Can somebody give me a straightforward answer on how to just type a normal document into pages without using text boxes?
Thanks and I apologize for not being mac-savvy. It took some of us a lot longer to see the light =)

Here is a script doing the conversion task for you.
Open a Page Layout document
run this script:
--{code}
set p2t to (path to temporary items from user domain) as text
set path_2_doc to p2t & (do shell script "date +_%Y%m%d_%H%M%S.doc")
tell application "Pages"
save document 1 in path_2_doc
open file path_2_doc
end tell
--{code}
that's all folks.

Duet makes noise after switching between finder audio and Logic

Hi
My Duet makes noise after switching between "finder audio" and "Logic", In other words i would play a mp3 in the finder and when returning to Logic all my audio sounds like the "lo-fi" RTAS free plug digidesign gives away now.
This is happening on a White *iMac 24"*
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac6,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.33 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: IM61.0093.B07
SMC Version (system): 1.10f3
MacOsx 10,5,7

Does this happen every single time? The same thing happens to me every once in a while. I just close Logic and Maestro and unplug the Duet. Then, in this order, plug in the Duet, wait for it to click, load Maestro, load Logic. Works every time.
Edit: It does only seem to happen when I switch from Logic and the audio output from the Duet to internal and then come back quickly. I don't think it's an issue with the Duet hardware itself.

Delaying when switching between apple mail and safari

just on mavericks.
it more or less looks and feel ok but...
when I switch between apple mail and safari, everything "freezes" for some seconds (up to 30).
anyone similar experiences?
what could be the cause of that?
its really disturbing.

I am a little puzzled by the libraries and switching between the libraries. My personal computer has the majority of the movies and content that would be transfered to the appletv. I chose to only select a minimal amount of content (of movies and tv shows, music via playlists) so there would be space left that would hold photos. Also, i just want to send over only what I want to view (manual synch) If I switch to my Kids library, it streams all the content well (movies & tv shows)(which is fine and streams well) If I switch back to my library, it shows every movie, every tv show, hundreds of music playlist that I did not choose to see. (stream mode) The only fix is to reboot the computer, and all is well. anyone experience this issue?

Hi,
Sounds like it isn't to serious. the Bluetooth connection had an error and that is that generated
the Problem report.
When the Blackberry started to use Bluetooth the "gold standard" was using Microsoft's
"native" windows drivers. Now, every major PC company has there own version
Thus the problem report.
There is rather involved and lengthy procedure to check and install the correct Bluetooth drivers
in the Dell, but I really don't think you want to take that on.( Nod you head and say H*LL YES)
Here is what I propose;
The problem report needs to be resolved or it wont go away. Read the manual, call Dell,
try apologizing to it and that you'll never never do it again, what ever it takes!
Make the best investment you can make for your Blackberry, buy a media card.
All the memory in the BB is dynamic, this facilitates the functions of the phone.
By storing media in that memory, you effect are wasting X amount for file storage.
Store all media and files on the media card, and you will have a smooth running device.
They run about $25.00usd, they are easy to install, and they also make moving your
media a snap. You will need the USB adapter that came with it, but you can get that at
your local carrier store.
So if you agree with this I need some info.
On the Blackberry go to the options icon,click then scroll up to ABOUT.
I need your software version number, it's listed in this format: 4.x.x.xxx.
Send it back to me and I can tell you what size card you can get.
Let me know your thoughts!
Thanks,

CS6/CC - switching between source monitor and timeline disaster

Now what is this?
It all works fine until you try DV Output.
In DV Output mode every time you switch between source monitor and the timeline it goes to some scary ritual:
1. output disabled on external monitor
2. some crazy flickering happens
3. ok, now updated picture on external monitor finally appears
Same happens when switching back to timeline.
Also when scrubbing through timeline video and audio is late for a few centuries on DV device/external monitor/speaker.
Why Adobe screwed firewire environment editing? I'm thinking about changing my job. Editing with Premiere is killing me lately. I'm thinking about starting to work with bees or strawberries, or something else less frustrating.
And Premiere CS 5.5 was the best editing software ever released. It has no similar problems. Why CS6 and CC are retarded?

I'm just asking for properly working feature which is alredy implemented and worked fine in earlier versions.
Adobe, can this be fixed, please?

Switching between OS X and Win7 on MacBook Pro

Is there an app or some process to easily switch between OS X and Win7 on my MacBook Pro? Thanks.

If Windows is installed in BootCamp then reboot from one OS to the other.
If it is install to be used by an emulator that start your Windows applications.
