Things I need to know when swapping out old router with Airport Extreme?

Hi, having been given some good advice in other areas of this forum, I've decided to swap my current D-Link router with an Aiport Extreme. I recently added an Airport Express and Time Capsule to my current wireless network (as 'join current network wirelessly') hoping to avoid the changing or my current router. However it appears to get the best and most flexible performance I need to go that further step. I've not done this before, having had the network setup by the ISP. What do I need to know, be aware of prior to unplugging my current router? Like:
Should the airport extreme just 'work' once I plug it in? Other than the normal set up process. Or:
Will the cable modem (Motorola SBV5121) require reconfiguration or some form of sync with the router?
Will I need my password and ID from the ISP for the new router? I currently only have the the current router password - no idea what the ISP ID and password is, they were set by the guy installing - yes I know I should have written them down somewhere.
Any traps or challenges I need to be aware of that is not covered in the printed material?
I have heard ISP's will generally not assist with this as it is not viable for them to try and help, understandable. So I just wanted to be as prepared as possible.
Any thoughts or experiences or pointers to documentation would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Richard

Apologies this should hve been posted in the Airport Extreme forum - it's been moved.

Can I swap out old RAM with new before install of new HD?

I am replacing a friend's HD for her MacBook Pro 5,2 and also swapping out the old memory (2-2GBs) for new memory (2-4 GBs). My question is: does it matter whether I install the new memory before I install the HD or after? If after, does it matter whether or not the HD has been formatted? Has an OS installed on it? Any help here would be very much appreciated!

Your snow leopard dvd will format the HD properly to install the OS. Just replace the HD put in the snow leopard disc and let it do its thing

How do you date and time stamp iCal entries? We share an event calendar and need to know when a new event was entered into iCal.

BKBK,
Thank you for your response. That does adequately cover the
client-originated sessions, but still leaves the ability I am
looking for unavailable.
It did serve to definitively answer my most pressing
question, however, with this statement:
Note: ColdFusion cannot create a session if an initiator
application uses a SendGatewayMessage method to start an
interaction with a client, such as an SMS user. In this case, the
sending code must keep track (for example, in a database) of the
messages it sends and their destinations. When a response event
arrives, it can look up the origniatorID to determine whether it
was in response to an outgoing message.
I will play around with the Application scope to see if there
might be a workable solution there.

I need to know when to sell the new Ipad 3.

I need to know when to sell the new Ipad 3 ?

Are you asking when to sell your new iPad (you can sell your iPad whenever you want to), or when it will be sold in your country (which you haven't said where that is) ?

I have a 3g iphone and I need to know how to delete old photos from my phone!! I need the space but there is no way to delete the pictures!! Help!!!

I have a 3g iPhone and I need to know how to delete old photos. Need to free up space and there is no clear way to delete these photos!! Can someone please let me know how to get rid of these pictures!!!! Help!!!

There are a number of ways to delete pictures from the Camera Roll. One is to open Camera Roll in the thumbnail view, tap the arrow button (top right), tap all the pictures you want to delete, tap the Delete button ant the bottom. Photo Library pictures are deleted by unchecking Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, followed by syncing your phone.

need to know how to install corel 11 with OS X 10.7. Can some one suggest how to do.
I am not keen to have one more boot partion with WIN

Core Painter has an 11.0.016 version that works with Lion and a 12.0.0.502 version that works with Lion. If you are talking a different Corel product, or a different version, please be more specific. Also double check that the version of Corel software on Corel's website is known to work with your MacBook Air.

Do I need a wireless card to use a router with my iMac or does the built in

I am having ComCast install a router at my home and they tell me I'll need a wireless card. I shouldn't need one with Airport Extreme installed should I?

Right - sort of.
You do need a wireless card to connect to a wireless router. However your Mac already has built-in wireless (almost every iMac does, only the original from 1998 didn't) so you're good to go - you don't need any extras.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Things You Need To Know about old= New iMac

1) Your HP All-In-One printer/scanner/copier - will it work with this new Leopard iMac? Maybe. I struggled with the all-in-one Printer Scanner Copier PSC 2355 for hours, and that includes reading the discussion forums on Apple's website. Apple support will tell you to call HP. HP will tell you to call Apple, or to check back for updated drivers. This was unacceptable. I finally crossed my fingers and loaded HP drivers for "Tiger", the previous OS version. Hey, the PSC 2355 works perfectly. Hope you have success also.
(2) PPT and PPS files in email. If you do not have Microsoft Office and PowerPoint, you need to know this: iMac comes with a trial version of Keynote and a trial version of PowerPoint software. If you receive a PowerPoint slide show from a friend, and you click on it to view it in Mail, Keynote may open up, for the first month or so. But if you don't buy keynote, this will eventually stop working. If MS PowerPoint opens up, same trouble - it may work a month or so. On my machine, the trial version actually locked up the iMac at the "Splash Screen". And if you don't buy Keynote, MS PowerPoint or MS Office for Mac, then your last hope for seeing PPT and PPS files is "Quicklook" which doesn't step through slides one at a time, but presents them as a long document. Not so great. Our solution was (A) delete the trail versions, and (B) buy a family pack of iWork and then everyone gets Keynote. Too bad the PPT and PPS music doesn't work.
(3) Moving old iMac (circa 2001) files to new iMac. This worked very nicely and seamlessly - all the music, photos, passwords, bookmarks, email moved smoothly from old iMac to new iMac. Only thing is... I think some old crap also moved. Old stuff that will never work in Leopard such as OS 9 apps and games. Even found some old fonts moved. THUS, we received an error "Helvetica narrow substituted for Helvetica which is corrput". Apple support was useless, telling me to reinstall the entire system, which did not solve the problem. After reading Apple discussions, someone suggested copying the fonts from the system folder to the user's library folder. Problem goes away, all is well.
(4) Thus, once you get these kinks worked out, you will LOVE this new iMac. built in camera, mic, fantastic screen and color rendition, fast processor, wonderful iLife apps, and the whole experience. Hope my comments help you transition into your new Mac Life.

I have my Mini Mac with Leopard 10.5.1 for about 3 weeks. My learning curve looks like a dead man's EKG, thus my simplistic question: OpenOffice or NeoOffice? I basically write and have old files rescued from my Windows 98 written in Word 2000. For my purposes, is one office program preferable to the other?
Thanks.

I need to know when and if ios7 will be allowed for iphone 3gs

does anyone know when it will come out and why does my phone black out and wont stay on without charger after that

No. Never. As far as your phone 'blacking out' and not staying on without a charger, I'd say at the very least, you need a new battery. Possibly a complete replacement.
Make an appointment at the genius bar and see what they say.

Some basic things I need to know before install

Hii I am new to ARCH and need to know some things
1)Can I have rasier 4 with thie distro? I heard it's fast and want to use it.
2)I have DHCP network, and I need to provide my DNS and host and not to get it from the modem, How do it right?
3)I have nvidia and generic screen , how to set it up right?
4) What more Should I know about ARCH? I have read most of the FAQ and WIKI and so on, but more info will be good
Hope to get a lot of answers and info

Welcome to Arch!
1. I think you mean reiserfs4: Reiserfs is no problem with the stock Arch Linux Kernel and the archck-kernel available in the extra repository. If you intend to compile your own kernel make sure you enable reiserfs if your config. But I personaly think it would bring you less problems if you start by using ext3 – you wouldn't see a huge difference in speed.
2. simply done by configuring your /etc/rc.conf file in the network section this way:
eth0="dhcp"
and your /etc/resolv.conf like this, substituting your nameservers' IPs and your domain name:
nameserver 61.23.173.5
nameserver 61.95.849.8
search example.com
More info here
3. RTFM
4. What do you want to know? I could talk for hours about Arch so feel free to ask…
Cheers Sigi

What do i need to do when signing out of sync?

Are you trying to install the DB on Linux from your Windows Box? if so, you need to have an XWindows client on your client. You have to SSH or Telnet into the box, set your DISPLAY variable. In fact, it is all in your documentation for the DB install. We still don't understand what you are exactly asking.
Do you have direct access to your Linux machine? If so, and it has a graphical GUI, then you can find install guides for most flavors of Linux at dizwell.com. His are most excellent and show examples, but do not go over the XWindows problem. You would have to resolve that first.
A free XWindows environment for Windows is Cygwin.
Once the DB is running on Linux then all you do is create a TNS entry on it on your client and it connects. It is the same as setting up a connection to connect to Oracle on a Windows box.

Need to know when text has finished loading

The following code loades text into a textfield the problem I'm having is the routine at the bottom runs before the text loads and the scrollbar disappears even when there's enough text to overflow the textfield. How would I make sure the text has finished loading before running the code that enables/disables the scrollbar?
mainText.htmlText = main[1];
textFieldLength = mainText.text.length;
    if(mainText.length > textFieldLength){
        mainScroll._visible = true;
    }else{
        mainScroll._visible = false;

I messed up the example. All I really need to know is how can I determin when a dynamically textfield overflows.
