Sirius - works on the way to work - doesn't work on the way home
Looking for some help from this forum because I am getting no where with the folks at Sirius. For the last 2 months I have not been able to get a signal on my ride home from work downtown Cincinnati to just north of the city. I have no problem with Sirius on the way into work but on the way home it doesn't want to work - I have called Sirius numerous times and they have gone through all the different options - unplugging, new antenna, etc. -and it still does want to work - does anyone have any suggestions of how to get this fixed?
Right now - the only thing I can think of is "get more data" - Can you reproduce the problem at the same time of day on weekends? If so, what happens if you drive your morning route in the evening on a weekend? (To determine if the cause is vehicle orientation/route or time of day).
And the constellation shouldn't change over a 2 month period - the Sirius orbits are chosen so that they appear in the same exact spot in the sky every day at a given time of day. HOWEVER, a technical failure on one of the sats could have caused them to tweak the orbits, or there could be something about one of the sats your radio no longer likes.
Have you tried sending a refresh signal to the radio? (I assume Sirius has refresh signals like XM does.)

I was wondering if there's a way to connect to my work server from my home iMac i7. I can't seem to get Share Screen to work. I have tried connecting to server using the vnc but doesn't work.
The easiest way would be to use Back to My Mac, but that will only work if the server is a Mac running OS X 10.7 or later and you have the cooperation of the network administrator.

On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best."
My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals. Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice. -

Apple products work in a huddle with themselves.. all others are excluded so no you cannot wireless repeat if that is what you mean.
In bridge though the TC can work as a WAP.. as can every wireless router ever made. You must connect to the home hub by ethernet. Then set the wireless manually and use the same network name, ie SSID, and security settings and password.. but you need to use a different wireless channel. You can then roam with any wireless devices..and they should connect to the strongest signal. In reality it doesn't work 100% and I think it is easier to use a different SSID and know what you are connecting too, but that is up to you. -
I tried updating my iPod, and ever since it has not worked at all. If I hold in the lock & home button, it will tell me to plug it into iTunes. Once I do that, it says it will restore but every time, restoring it fails. My iPod is not working at all, and I really have no idea what to do. It is just a black screen, and occasionally the white apple will appear as if it were turning on, but it won't turn on. I just need some suggestions on what to do!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Using Numbers spreadsheet and In working on a simple home budget, how can I change the color of a number to RED when it comes up negative. (only during the time that it's negative) Thanks, ( I hope I did this right!!)
The Inspector offers choices of format for negative numbers when you choose Number of Currency as the format for a cell. Also offered when the format is set to Automatic, IF the selected cell(s) contain number(s).
The choices are in the pop-up menu beside the box for number of decimal places.

My Ipad is 14 months old and previoulsy worked fine on my home wi fi network. Recently the range is diminished but all other devices (ipods, ps) are working just fine. Is there anything to check functionality of the wi fi antenna? Has anyone has similar problems? Unfortunately, the warranty expired 2 months ago.

I have two time capsules, one for work and one for home, how do I set up the work time capsule to only back up my work files? Also, how do I add co-workers to my work time capsule and wife to my home time capsule? Thank you!
You cannot have two different TC setups.. at least until Mountain Lion.. it did introduce some changes but I am not sure if you can setup two different configurations for TM.. you can use two different devices to back up to. I doubt this will help you.
You might be better using a real backup software.. superduper, CCC, chronosync etc.
The TC by default is available to any Mac in the network to do backups. TM will sort itself out and put each computer on a different backup. These are kept in separate sparsebundles.. so that is all fine. -

I have an ipad mini that won't power on. It was turned off to charge overnight. In the morning it was warm and now won't turn on no matter what I do. I've tried resetting using the power / home button combination and nothing works.
If you have owned the device, as in purchased from Apple, less than a year then there will be no charge to repair, or most likely, replace the device. If you have had the device more than a year you will be charged an out of warranty cost for replacement ($219 I think) and that is much cheaper than a new device. If you have Applecare+ then you have an additional year of coverage and the replacement will be $49 or $79 depending on when you got the Applecare.

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

I have a macbook pro I use for work and iMac at home. What is best way to manage my files? Use iCloud? Dock my laptop when I come home? Appreciate any suggesitons
That depends on what kind of "files" you're talking about and what your employer's policy is on using cloud storage.
I found dropbox and/or OneDrive work very well for keeping documents in sync between multiple machines. -
I'm trying to put one of my dreamweaver projects on the creative cloud so that i can work on it at home and at the office. can't figure it out!Adobe Creative Cloud
If you're a Windows user, you should have a Creative Cloud folder listed under your name in Windows Explorer. The image below shows where the folder is when I view Explorer.
if you don't see this, open up the Creative Cloud application manager, click on the Assets tab, and then the Open Folder button. This will open the folder where you can place files to be synced across your Creative Cloud account on each computer that's actively logged in.
