Skype and magic jack on same modem connection

I have been using Skype for years on my laptap computer and have had few problems. I recently purchased a Magic Jack and have plugged it into the modem that serves my computer. Skype continues to work fine on my computer, but when someone calls my Magic Jack number they get a message saying "the person you are trying to call is unavailable." The phone doesn't ring on my end. I'm wondering if Magic Jack thinks the line is busy when my computer is online. I have Skype set so it is connected whenever I am online. Both systems are plugged into the same landline.
Any suggestions? Ideas?
Thanks

You could run Virtual PC for Mac 7, but by the time you bought the software and a copy of Windows to run on it, you'd be better off buying or building a basic computer to run Windows on, or use the money toward buying an Intel Mac. Doing the latter would mean you could just use the Magic Jack natively, no Windows need be involved.

I just got a Mac and I use the same internet connection as my mom and my brother, who has an iPad. He can click on something that has my name and then Macbook Air, and is able to see everything on my computer screen. How do I fix this?

No, I made sure nothing was checked for that section when i found out he could see my screen. At the top it says "computers on your local network can access your computer at: blah blah". I think thats how hes doing it but i dont know how to fix it.

How is Firefox related to AT&T and Magic Jack? Is Magic Jack made to work with a web browser?

OS X Server and Magic Jack

Hello,
I'm considering purchasing a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard Server in the near future. I've always wanted a small server for my home and the Mac Mini seems to be what I'm looking for. I'm currently using Magic Jack and I love it. I have the Magic Jack plugged into a USB port on an old XP PC. The Magic Jack also works well on my MacBook Pro running Leopard. Does anyone think I'll have any problems using my MagicJack on the MacMini running Snow Leopard Server? The Magic Jack support page just says it's compatible with Intel Macs. I have a feeling it won't be a problem but I wanted to double check. Since the Mini is a small quiet server, I thought it would be a good idea to use it to run my Magic Jack along with the other services I plan to use it for. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

Off-hand, the only significant differences between the client and server versions are the lack of Boot Camp, the lack of some Bluetooth controls, and the addition of the server management tools. Nothing that would likely be within the purview of some software that chats with a USB dongle, in other words.
I'd be surprised if there were issues with this magicJack product, and other VoIP packages including the Skype and Asterisk PBX software, and such packages do work.
Regardless, you'll want to research this question with the support folks that are involved more directly with the product, rather than asking folks (like me, for instance) that generally aren't using the product that is of central interest.

Can't use Skype and PhotoBooth at the same time?

I recently updated my Skype to the new version. I used to be able to have my camera on PhotoBooth and Skype working at the same time, however since I made the update I cannot. Depending on which programme I open first, the other will not work. If Skype is working, then the error message 'Camera offline' comes up. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Skype and that has not solved the issue. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Never seeing this problem.
Are you using a MobileMe IMAP account or another provider and account? Is problem when using the Apple Mail application in OS 10.4.11 on your listed G5?

Using Skype and TeamSpeak at the same t

Exactly this is what I intend to do. Generally it is possible, some friends of mine using onboard sound are able to speak in Skype and in Teamspeak at the same time.
I myself use a Soundblaster Audigy Gamer - and I *can't* use both applications at the same time. I'm quite sure that it's possible since I once had a SB Li've running Half-Life ingame voicechat as well as Teamspeak at the same time. This is essentially the same: two programs open the same DirectSound input device at the same time.
I haven't found an option in the Audigy driver settings, neither my knowledge database search nor my forum search was a success.
How do I make my Audigy work like this?

Can I have 2 routers with different security and broadcast modes off same modem?

Hi
Apologies for not being too technical. The background is that I have a mac and a dell laptop, both of which used to work off a Linksys WRT54G wireless router even though both computers are set up for N routers. I then bought a Logitech Squeezebox internet radio, again working off the Linksys G. The security on all 3 was WEP.
I was then advised to upgrade my router to N and change security to WPA. I bought a Netgear WNR2000 N wireless router as the local shop did not have any linksys n routers. I tried to set up the three devices to this router but it seems that the radio will only broadcast G and WEP security.
It then appeared that I would have to downgrade the other two computers back to G and WEP also and when I did that the internet speed really slowed down.
My query is this, can I set up the Netgear N to be linked to my modem and broadcasting at N and WPA, thus linking my computers at top speed, and then can I link my Linksys to my Netgear and have that broadcast a different network on G/WEP for my radio? If I can or if there is a better solution could someone tell me in easy steps how to do it?
Very much obliged.

You don't have to downgrade your router. Just enable mixed mode so it will allow wireless N and G devices to connect to the router. However, it will share the same wireless security mode.
With regards to your query, the answer is yes. You can setup two (2) wireless routers, one providing N and WPA while the other one providing G and WEP. It might be a little complicated though. You have to cascade the routers. Both should have different SSID and channel.
Try this setup first before changing the wireless options.

Screen-Sharing and Internet-Sharing via same network connection

Hello out there,
I'm using a TiBook (G4 867MHz) and a MacBook Pro 17". They are connected via a WLAN-router. Additionally the MBP is connected to the internet via an UMTS-connection established with a Merlin 870XU type PC-card.
Network is working fine, including screen-sharing. Also the internet connection on MBP works without error. But if I activate Internet-Sharing via WLAN to get my TiBook connected to the internet, the MBP connection to the WLAN is cut off.
Can somebody tell me what's going wrong and how to solve it?

Cinema LED 24" and Cintiq pen tablet same time connection???

Does anybody tryed to connect LED sinema display (via mini-display port and one USB), and active graphic pen tablet (Wacom Cintiq) as second display simultaneously?? Both devices required DVI or mini-display, how to separate a data signal to different monitors?? My application - retouch in Photoshop CS4, thanks in advance!

For what you want to do, it is not possible through one mini-display/dvi port as the graphics card can only handle 1 output at a time. Check out this little device. It'll turn one usb port into an average quality video output. I have my second Cinema display running off one of these. I wouldn't recommend playing games or anything on these though because the output frame rate is much too low. Check it out.

My I phone is ringing as a phone. However, no sound could be heard when viewing youtube video no sound for the keyboard. Also when the vonage or the magic Jack is ringing it rings once and no more. I don't know how to solve this problem?

My IPHONE 4S Rings well as phone. However, I could not hear the sound from vedio or from ITUNES. Even the keyboard sounds are not clicking. The vonage and magic jack rings one and sometimes vibrate only.. what should I do to solve this probelm??

set the wake-on lan on the main computer
The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

If you close magic jack app and it's not running in the backround then the pod touch 4 wont' ring right?

   I might have put this question in the wrong catergory if you think it would be better asked in the app category please let me know but I know this is the general board for most main questions.
    HERE'S WHAT I READ"
   Most of the apps showing in the Recents tray are not actually running. Very, very few apps are doing much of anything in the background. The only ones that are likely to be draining your battery would be apps that play music or access location services. Unless you're noticing unsual behavior from the phone, it's not really worth the effort to go quitting everything. Last time I counted, I had about 80 "recently used" apps showing. I have no issues with battery life.
   So if if I have Magic Jack open and I just hit home button once then it will ring but if I close it by double clicking the home button and deleting it to close it would it still ring?

   Thanks for your response IIIaass,
   I have a couple of questions, I was under the notion that when you simply clicked the home button once the app is closed but I've heard different.
   1)   So if you have an app open and you click the home button once and the screen shuts down it's still running in the background right. But to close the app completely you have to click on the home button twice and then the the screen raises up and you tap on the app until it jiggles and you see the red minus badge and then you delete it this is closing the app completely right? Or does the app close when your viewing it and just click the home button once and the screen shuts down it would be still running in background?
   2) So let's me see if I got it straight. In order to close an app you have to double click on the home button tap until it jiggles and tap the red minus sign badge and then that completely closed the app? Am I right on that
     Also as long as you have notification turned on you can close the app completely by double clicking on home button and delete the app to close it and Magic Jack will still ring even though the app is completely closed because I didn't know if it had to run in the background in order for a call to come through and ring. But from what your saying you can close the app completely and as long as notification is turned on the call will still come through. See question 1 above to see if I've got it right about an app running in background and closing an app. I always thought when you were viewing an app and you home clicked one and the screen shuts down the app is closed until recently I heard it's not close until you double click and delete it from the bottom under the dock. I just want to make sure I've got it straight!
   Thanks for your response!

Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse (Bluetooth) Problems

Hi folks,
I recently got a new Mac Mini, wireless keyboard (Apple) and Magic Mouse. During high LAN activity, the keyboard and Magic Mouse will often lose connection and will have trouble re-connecting even when LAN activity goes back to basal levels. If they do not lose connection, the performance becomes terrible and both lag significantly during use.
This behavior does not happen on my MacBook Pro.

Other things to check-
Do you have anything on top of your mini, or is the top of the mini under a desk or other obstruction? The bluetooth antenna is (as you are looking from the top down at the mini) to the top right of the Apple logo on the plastic case top. Try clearing any clutter (if there is any), or establish a clear line of sight with your keyboard and mouse to the unexposed top of the mini and see if the dropouts occur.
Also, microwaves wreck havoc with bluetooth. Any machinery in the same room as your mini and keyboard/mouse?

Magic Jack connectivity to Mac PPC and Mac OS X 10.4

I recently read an Apple Discussion regarding Magic Jack (VOIP)
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8101416
WHICH describe issues with Magic Jack and Mac PPC. In the Discussion it said that Apple was going to develop OS drivers(BD Aqua). Did that ever happen? I notice that Magic Jack still says that it is compatible with Mac and as I read on further it says " Intel only. Does Magic Jack work with a PPC, are there work arounds or are my efforts to get this product to work futile?

Darrell --
It says specifically, "Intel Only."
I would assume that's correct.
Have you read the reviews on this site?

Why can I send email from my iPad, but my iMac which is connected to the same modem keeps telling me that it can't send the message using the same server?

I have an iPad 2, connecting via Wifi to an Actiontec Q1000 modem. The iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz RAM, running OS 10.8.2) is also hard wired to the same modem. Internet access is via CenturyLink. Main email is from Shaw cable in Calgary (Phoenix is a vacation property), not through CenturyLink.
Can receive email on the iMac, but every time I try to send, I get a pop up saying "Cannot send message using the server .......". Further prompts me to verify the address in the email, and SMTP settings in Mail preferences, or to select a different outgoing mail server. I've tried using a number of servers, always the same result.
Using same settings in both devices.

Mail is not my forte, but what I noticed was that you have Centurylink and presumably have your Mail set up with their settings? But then you mention Shaw/vacation property/etc - you can send out email only through the server that you have set up as an account using the ISP you are using. If you switch places, do you have separate accounts set up with both Centurylink and Shaw so you can switch and use whichever one you're at? A Phoenix ISP won't work with a Mail POP account unless you're in your home - Phoenix - area.
Do you have a data plan with your iPad? That would explain why that works - it'll function sort of like a cellphone - works anywhere where there are signals.
