Stupid airport... please help me

Ok so my internet connection *****, ten fold. I'm so frustrated by how low and crappy it is I'm ready to throw my MacBook across the room. My roommate gets excellent internet connection and my boyfriend gets pretty good internet, and all three of us live in the same basement. The one wireless router is upstairs, owned by my landlord, and I've guessed that there are about 7 computers running off of this one router. Is there an attachment of some kind that I can buy to boost me internet connection? If so... is it going to cost me an arm and a leg? I'm a college student and don't have much disposable income. Can someone please help me before I completely lose it! (I just lost my internet and had to re-write this post, I was fortunate enough that I thought to copy it, just in case, because I know my internet is so bad)

You can ask your landlord to re-position the wireless router so you can get a better signal from your room.

  • Can't detect airport please help

    My Macbook pro was bought in June 09 after limited use the screen and other parts had to be replaced. When I got it home we were having difficult connecting to the internet provider after this was rectified I found that I couldn't connect to the network with the message 'No airport card detected' Upon returning it to apple I was told that the warranty was null and void as it had water damage which to my knowledge had not occurred if true whilst in my possession. Could someone please help as to what action I should adopt now. I see that there are numerous complaints about airport card not working and an identical complaint as mine except no mention of water damage is made, Please Help

    This is something you will have to take up with apple directly. You might argue that there airport was fine until you took it into apple. As for the water damage, I have no idea how you would swing that other than it must have occurred in apples possession.

  • 2 accts(2 libraries), 1 mac via airport-please help

    Hi,
    I just picked up the 5th gen airport extreme; managed to set it up and link an external HDD on my admin account and worked fine but I ran into some issues when I switched over to my girlfriend side.  The hdd does not mount like a regular hard disc on her desktop. It does appear in the finder as a shared drive but it shows up as empty (0gig) and/or it shows up as a blue folder with a red X in the corner with no accessible data.  It wsn't until I ran the utility on her side that I was able to retrieve/view the contents on the drive yet it became all screwy on my side/account when I went back and I had to run the utility again.
    Basically what I'm trying to do is to link my GF's iTunes library via the shared HDD w/o unlinking my own iTunes library on my account/side.  It seems that I can only get one account to link to any given iTunes library but not both at the same time.  It's driving me insane.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • So Stupid! Please help!

    Hey there guys. I could really use a hand here. I created a DVD for one of my friends after she went overseas, and burnt a copy, that went fine and sent it off. She then wanted part of it changed; so I did. I sent it back to her, and she said that during part of the film, the sound cut out and was silent. I STUPIDLY deleted all the original files for the project (movies, MPEG, DVDSP3 files everything) because I needed the space. All I have now is a disc image of the DVD itself, fully made. I do NOT want to go back and redit it, because that will take months. Is there any way i can extract the footage from the DVD, saving it as MPEG, .mov or something, to import back into Final Cut Express to edit, then just recreate the menus and burn another DVD? Is there a trick, software, anything that will help me? I'd like to keep the quality the same too, if possible.
    Look forward to your replies!
    Cheers

    Hi Nicholas,
    I use SmartRipper , only thing is it only works on a Windows PC.
    It lets you rip the mpg 2 file & sound file be it 'Dolby AC3' or 'WAV' to your hard drive then you can import that into a NLE programme that accepts these files & edit away...
    or you can import the files into a new DVD project
    (NO loss of quality at all if you don't re-encode the files)

  • Big problem and very stupid mistake, please help me

    I was about to put leopard on my iBook g4 when on the read before installing thing it said if you want to start fresh delete your hard disk. I did that and the cd didn't work so now I'm stuck with nothing on my computer. Oh and by the way I don't understand why it didn't work, when I put the cd in and I restarted my computer it just made weird noises for a few hours and nothing happened. Thanks for helping!

    See if you can use the install disks that shipped with your iBook. If so, then again erase and try installing 10.5.
    As far as retrieving your data (if you have no backup) before you do another operation on that drive your best bet is Prosoft Data Rescue. There is a free trial to see if it can recover what you need. But don't do another operation on that drive until you've downloaded and run it. Also, a service that has been recommended but I cannot personally endorse is DriveSavers.

  • Stupid friend please help

    yea my friend stole my ipod cuz he likes the songs i have to put them on itunes the idiot doesnt even have an ipod now my music in my itunes will not go to my ipod instead there are his songs i need my music back on my ipod please help

    so you plug in your ipod to itunes on your computer and it wont update with the music on your computer? when you plug it in, open ipod preferences and turn on auto update and pick a playlist or a few to put on it. close it, then right click on your ipod in the left window and choose update. that should delete the music that is currently on it and replace it with the music you want on it. if this doesn't work, you'll have to restore it. instructions are on the main support page here.

  • Stupid questions Please Help

    1. how can i use the previous command ( like DOS' upper arrow key).
    2. how can i find a specific file in unknown directory (like DOS' dir filename /s)
    thanks,
    david

    1. how can i use the previous command ( like DOS'
    upper arrow key).$ksh -o vi
    ESC k combination will put you in command mode enabling you use arrow keys for previous commands. Pressing i or a will allow you to insert or append to the command.
    >
    2. how can i find a specific file in unknown directory
    (like DOS' dir filename /s)#find / -name "file-name-you-want" -print
    this will start from root / dir to search from any other dir substitute / with dir you want.

    Which jar file is supposed to contain javax/xml/bind/JAXBException.class?
    Is that jar file uncorrupted?
    You have a lot of dependent environment variables in your launch script. Are they being expanded correctly. Is the resultant path to said jar file correct?

  • Airport not available on MacBook Pro 15 unibody mid 2009, PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Ok, so I just recently put in a new hard drive and battery by myself, since my original MacBook Pro hard drive became "corrupted" most likely due to a parallel desktop software I was using. Anyway so I finally install everything on the new hard drive and airport is not working. The icon is NOT EVEN THERE on the menu bar. I go into Network and the only thing I've got is Ethernet and Firewall. I've tried the "+" thing, and it didn't work. I then went into "Assist Me" , then "Diagnostics" and the airport option is greyed out, so is the external modem. Oh, and the operating system is Snow Leopard  OS X 10.6.3. Has a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.
    I also deleted the "SystemConfiguration" Folder and found something interesting. The "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" was never there and when I reboot, the "com.apple.network.identification.plist" also disappeared. I had to drag it back into the folder from the desktop where I put a copy just in case something weird happened, which it did.
    I checked System Profiler, clicked on AirPort and it gives me stuff under "Software Versions", so I'm guessing it's acknowledging that THERE IS a card and can give me all the information for it, but I can't get the mac to use it. I reset the PRAM AND SMC and still nothin.
    So, I figured it must be hardware, right? So I open the mac like i did when I installed the new hard drive and battery, and I CANNOT FIND THE DARN AIRPORT CARD. On the mid 2010 models it's with the bluetooth card at the top and I've tried looking online for ANYONE, who has tried to get to the airport card on the mid 2009 model for the MacBook Pro 15 unibody. And found nothing. I think it's in the clutch, but I'm too scared to touch that area. Does anyone else have any ideas or have I covered all my bases?
    I REALLY DO NOT want to go to Apple. I don't have AppleCare and don't have the money to have them poke around and tell me the same thing I already know. And I spent way too much on this computer to not be able to use it to full capacity. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

  • After resetting my Airport Extreme, I can't get it to work! Please help!

    Hey everyone!
    I have an airport extreme base station (wireless n-gigabit ethernet) and awhile ago it stopped working on me. I simply reset my aebs and whenever I open airport utility and try and configure my aebs, it tells me I have an error and can't connect to the aebs. I have comcast internet service and my aebs is connected to my router. It's been working successfully for about a couple months and now it's stopped working. : (
    I've tried this both in manual setup and the regular setup. I've gone through the trouble of doing a hard reset (pressing the reset button until it flashes amber), I've unplugged the power while holding the reset button, connecting my laptop with the aebs via ethernet, making sure everything is updated (and it is), resetting the router, and even reinstalled my airport utility disk.
    Please help! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    I also tried setting up my aebs on my neighbor's internet and it worked like a charm! Setting up aebs was as easy as when it first worked. Now if only I can get it to work on my internet...

  • Please help me if i should get an airport for my situation or not?

          i have a modem thats connected to a pc (i cant move it anywhere) on the first floor and a wireless adapter thats connected to another pc on the lower floor. we all depend on that one modem thats on the first floor so to let the pc on the lower floor to connect to the wifi, we got a router. (everything is all good) but if i get an imac and place it on the first floor which is closer to the modem will it connect to the wifi normally like any laptop or iphone? or should i get an airport or maybe a wireless adapter so it connects to the wifi?
           PLEASE HELP IM GETTING AN IMAC SOON AND I HAVE TO KNOW!
    thank you,
                  mariam

    oh and airport can connet normally to windows right?
    Yes.
    You don't have to get an AirPort Base Station, but I learned the hard way that they work better than cheaper alternatives, especially in a mixed Mac / Windows / iOS device environment. They're also very secure from malicous outside intrusion, which has recently become a serious problem for people using Linksys routers.
    You will need to configure it with an iMac or an iPhone, not with the Windows PC, so get the iMac first.
