That SSID Question Again

The question is not "how do I do it" - because I know the answer to that.
The question is "why is it so difficult to find the answer?"
Just in case anyone is struggling, this is how to do it with OSX 10.9 and an HP Photosmart C4380:
1) Reset wireless settings on the printer (see manual for how to do that).
2) Print the network configuration settings now you have reset them; they should tell you it is in ad-hoc network mode and they should tell you the "URL" and the wireless network name. Mine was "hpsetup". You will need that in a moment.
3) With the controlling computer, join the ad-hoc network using your wireless settings - I am guessing you know how to join different wireless networks with your computer.
4) Open the URL from step 2 in a web browser. You are now in control of the printer.
5) Under "Networking" go to the "Advanced" tab. Enter the SSID you want to use, select "infrastructure" and enter the WEP key or whatever is appropriate for your network.
6) Note that when you press "Apply", the printer changes the nwtwork to which it is connected. That means the page you're looking at appears to crash. Which technically it has, as the server just disappeared from your computer's universe. Don't worry.
7) Print the network configuration settings again and check it has in fact joined your network of choice. If it hasn't, go back to step 1. Nothing else will do - you must go back to step 1 and try again.
8) Presuming you were successful in step 7, rejoin the main network with your computer.
9) Add the newly connected printer to the list of available printers, since it has now become visible. Again I am presuming you know how to do that, but if you don't there are many versions of instructions for that available on Google.
So again, I repeat my question. Why was it so difficult to get instructions on that little dance involving reset - ad-hoc network - enter information - apply? Changing SSID for your home network is very common.
Why so difficult to find, HP?

I am trying to download a movie in iTunes and I was asked two security questions. They are different form the questions I chose and whenever I exit and try again, I see that the questions change every time. How can I reset the questions?

thank you for your help

That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed). Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.

I can not log in to the account from the iTunes Store's why I lost my security question! I want to modify the security question again I can not

Hi
A little information will be of a great help, witch iPhone did you upgrade, memory , and version of software ( iOS 8.x.x )?
Try restarting you iPhone and make sure you have a god internet connection , get as close to your wifi router (1-3 meter / 2-9 feet ) as possible. Don't use restore to factory settings before you tried other options . And most imported du you have an iCloud backup.

No idea what you are asking.

TS1717 I fixed it by starting up Quicktime, which then started to update itself. After that ITunes worked again.

Also Apple Software Update suddently worked again

had a lot of trouble with this too. I had tried everything, from the internet time zone changing, restarting computers, physical time zone changing, firewalls, all that, and nothing worked.
but i just tried this and it worked.
1. in iTunes, go to Store, then go to authorize computer
2. sign in with your AppleID, and authorize your computer to purchase iTunes stuff.
that's it.
I scoured the internet and found nothing that said that had that as a solution.
hope it helps

That USB/Firewire question again

OK, I've done my research, no converter exists.
Just bought my fiance a 60gb iPod to replace his old white one which had died. But he has been keeping his music on our old blue G3, and both its USB ports are occupied - keyboard and external hard drive with the music on it. So, question is, how on earth do we free up a USB port?
We have a PC and installed iTunes on it, but music imported through this is of very poor quality, with frequent clicks on playback. Anyone else experienced this?
Thought I'd come up with a great birthday present, and am now feeling rather defeated. Maybe the only solution is for him to keep his music on my iMac? But it was handy having a computer each...

So, question is, how on earth do we free up a USB port?
Just purchase a USB hub, which basically turns one USB port into many USB ports. A "splitter" of sorts.
They're very inexpensive and you can pick up a USB hub at just about any electronics or computer retailer.
Something like this one would work just fine. I've even seen them less expensive than this one.

Can I post my same question again?

I have posted an apple related technical question in the forums and it's already been a week and I have not had any replies. Although it's encouraged for members to look in old threads too, but members very rarely seem to do that. So would it violate the rules of this forum if I posted it again so it would be listed on the first page again? If it does, is there any way I can delete my unanswered question and replace it with a new one? If so, would that also be allowed? If not, can I bundle hyperlinks to my question along with answers I make to other peoples questions? I just want to make sure I don't violate any forum rules. Thanks.

As ali said, you've only had 3 posts in the past week (actually within the last two days); just in case you didn't know, there are only users just like you volunteering their time trying to help on these forums; you are not addressing your questions to anyone from Apple. So, either someone has not had time to read your question or does not have an answer for your problem. If you want immediate help and are still covered by warranty, you can call Apple, or, if you're no longer under warranty, make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar for free advice/help.

2 Questions again (didnt post right)

I just bought a MBP about 2 days and am a new apple convert (very happy with it). However, I was experiencing two problems.
1) I bought some software called LoJack and it sounds great, but when I try to install it, it doesn't load. I tried opening the contents and the "setup" file, but it says it needs flash so I went to find macromedia flash player and installed it through safari, but its not an app (at least it doesn't show up in applications... i know its an app). How can I open flash so I can use LoJack. (stupid question i know, but i cant find a solution)
2) I used bootcamp to install vista (i know... but for me its a must), but vista only shows 3GB in my system when I have 4GB. Some people mentioned on this forum that vista 32-bit edition only supports up to 3 and I would install 64-bit, but theres no drivers for anything ecept the graphics card? Can someone either direct me to the drivers or tell me if Leopard is going to include support for the 64-bit edition of windows.
Thank you in advance! No other company has forums like this (at least officially) and if they do its not even close to being that efficient. Thanks again you guys!

Templeton is incorrect, you can install 64bit vista (or xp) as you have a 64bit cpu and you (like many others) can install that OS. Apple does not provide any 64bit drivers and unlike 32bit drivers Vista will not load an unsigned driver, so you'll have to find signed 64bit drivers on the net. From what I heard that can be frustrating.
Also while xp is 32bit, there is a known issue that only allows it access 3gig. Some people point the finger at Apple and bootcamp and others point it to microsoft. I don't know but I only mention this to tell you its not that you doing anything wrong.
Finally one last word regarding 64bit vista (or 64bit xp) There's little reason to go with 64 bit, driver issues, software issue (mostly games from what I hear) and you only get access to more memory. That is do you want to go through the hassle of installing 64bit vista (searching the net for drivers) just to get 4 gig? For me, it was a no brainer, and 32bit vista works fine.

Yes fan speed question again..but with a slight

I use my new 27" strictly as a monitor (target display mode) for my mac pro.
The fans all idle while sleeping..upon screen wake after some 15-20 mins the cpu fan slowly creeps up and does so reaching say 1750+ after 50-60 mins...it may get to 2000 or more. All this is with 0% cpu usage and note.. does so by creeping up.The other 2 fans escalate marginally.
I have done the SMC firmware and SMC reset. I suspect the LCD temp sensor controls the cpu fan ( and possibly the others) as the fan speed does hold or somewhat reduce if I put monitor into a dim state.If I put imac into sleep then wake right away it reverts to a much lesser speed..top left corner of case is virtually untouchable....normal ?
EDIT:It appears going into tdm may load the imac cpu but I can't determine because it can't be viewed when in tdm...the fan seems to diminish whem the imac is run in imac screen mode...more testing to be done

ok, its the second time you recommend to use the key binding, So why are we wasting our time having to recommend it again? You where given the link to the tutorial the other time as well.
any good explanation as for why? a) you just found a reason
b) thats why you read the tutorial
I mean my application is a small 3d game a) what does small or large have to do with anything? The best design is the approach you should use.
b) how do we know that from the question?
Our approach is to suggest the best approach that we know. This approach may or may not be appropriate, that is why you read the tutorial and make up your own mind. Of course all Swing components use KeyBindings. Many of them like the text components or JTable will bind 20 different keys. it's not that i didn't take your advice from the first time you gave it, i read the tutorial of both keyListener and keyBinding, and browsed through the documentation of them both, but still a few things were not clear to me as to the efficiency of a wider usage of keys that's all.
and btw I have the utmost respect to you guys and what you do, and i hope we can still get along, so thank you for your help, i'll menage from here.
