Trying to turn my G5 into an Airport

I have a G5 with an ethernet port and an Airport card, running Mac OS X on a cable connection. I have been following the procedures to convert the Mac into an Airport device so I can connect it to my iPhone. When I turn internet sharing on, it turns itself off when I close the window. I tried everything I could think of without success. Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

gwoody32: You can't make the Xtra appear as a dri've letter, but you can get it to appear in Windows Explorer as a device and you can copy data to it, either using Creative's Nomad Explorer or the shareware Notmad Explorer. I strongly recommend you don't keep any important data files on it though, specifically as a single source.

    can anyone tell me how to turn music into ringtones

    Does this app not provide a video on how to sync it with itunes and then sync it to your phone.
    If you have transfer the ringtone to your computer, play the ringtone - then it should move to your tones folder in itunes.  Just make sure when you play the ringtone it's plays in itunes.

  • My iphone turned off and i can't turn it on. I tried to turn it on with plugging into charger but it doesn't help. And the power button doesn't work.

    My iphone turned off and i can't turn it on. I tried to turn it on with plugging into charger but it doesn't help. the problem is that the power button doesn't work.

    Well, that is going to make it difficult, since the first two steps of user troubleshooting require the use of the power button. I suggest you get that fixed.

    I use GoodReader on my iPad and use the GoodReaderUSB tool. the GoodReaderUSB tool allows you to transfer entire folders into GoodReader without loosing the folder/file structure.

  • Will the AirPort or AirPort Extreme turn any printer into an AirPrint printer?

    I have a printer (HP CP1518ni) and I want to know if I get the AirPort/AirPort Extreme will it allow me to use my current printer with my iphone and ipad?

    Plugging your printer into the AirPort Express or AirPort Exteme will not make it AirPrint compatible.
    If your printer is not already AirPrint compatible, an App like Print Central installed on the iPad and iPhone might allow you to print.

  • I locked my ipod before i went to bed the other night and i tried to turn it on the next morning and the screen stayed black and now i was wondering what i could do to try and fix it.(besides plugging it into itunes)

    i locked my ipod before i went to bed a few nights ago and in the morning when i woke up i tried to turn it on but the screen stayed black so i put it on the charger to see if it was dead or not but it wasnt. i left it on the charger for an hour or two thinking it will turn on but nothing happened and i just tired to connect to itunes and nothing happened.

    Hi,
    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • I have tried a hard reset, plugged into my imac, and into the wall.  The iphone 4 will not turn on.

    I seriously need my phone.  I did the hard reset.  Didn't work.  I waited longer.  Didn't work.  I plugged the phone into the wall.  Didn't work. I tried hard resetting while plugged into my computer with iTunes on.  Didn't work  Anymore ideas?  I really need my phone.  iPhone 4.  I hate this phone.  My blackberry never caused me this much grief!

    Paul's suggestion may work, but if the Hard Drive was writing when the power was cut abruptly, there may be data corruption, file index corruption or even physical damage to the drive as the read/write heads clash.
    If the SMC reset doesn't work, first see if the installation DVD can be inserted. If it can, start up with the C key held down. OK the language screen, ignore the installer and select the Utilities menu at the top of the screen, open Disk Utility. Select the HD in te left pane and click repair (not repair permissions).
    If you get a message that repairs were carried out, run the repair again until you either get "the volume xxxxx appears to be OK" or a message that repair can't be carried out.
    If it won't boot to the disc, or the disc can't be inserted, try a single-user mode boot - hold down ⌘ and S on start up until the Unix prompt appears.
    Type carefully this command
    fsck -fy
    then press return.
    As before, if the prompt reappears with the message that repairs were carried out, run the check again until you either get "the volume xxxxx appears to be OK" or a message that repair can't be carried out (and assume the latter if it hasn't given an OK within 4 tries).
    Type
    reboot
    and press return to attempt to start up normally.
    If it still won't start, it's fair to say the HD is dead.

  • I'm trying to turn on automatic downloads, but I see an alert that says 'This device is already associated with an apple ID.'

    I recently bought a new ipod 4 gen 32 G. I had an 8 g .I'm trying to turn on automatic downloads so when I buy a song from Itunes it automatically downloads without plugging it into computer to sync.  When I turn on Auto Downloads, It say...This device is already Associated with an apple ID You can auto-download purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this device with a different Apple ID for 30 days. When I click OK it turns th downloads off..Can someone help me? I've returned the 8g to regular factory settings as I'm giving it to a friend.

    You have to wait. See:

  • HT1414 I had my ipod touch off and when I tried to turn it off the best I could get was the apple logo than that went out.  I can't get it come on at all.  It was working fine earlier and nothing has happen to it.

    I tried to turn on my ipod touch and the best I could get was the apple logo and even that went out.  I tried charging it with no luck.  It had charge yesterday when I turned it off but now I can't get anything at all.  Any suggestions???

    If the reset does not work try the remaining items:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • HT203163 I am not able to access to iphone updates/store; as secure link to itunes store failed. I tried to turn firewall off, reinstall itunes and other troubleshoot options but none of them works.....

    I am not able to access to iphone updates/store; it displays the message under diagnostics 'secure link to itunes store failed'.
    I tried to turn firewall off, reinstall itunes and other troubleshoot options but none of them works......
    Please help.

    Update:  I tried the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" after everything else either fizzled out or hung up. After going all the way thru the recovery process (up to 100%), I finally got an error message.....it didn't work. And now, when I fire up the computer, I don't even get to that menu with the recovery options....the only thing I can boot into is the screens with the various ways to run your OS (in "safe mode", "safe mode with networking", etc).
    I'm not a techie, but I'm guessing at this point, the part of my hard drive that got damaged in the fall was, at the very least, the partition with the recovery data. Couple that with the fact that this cheapo Toshiba laptop didn't even come with recovery disk (or ANY kind of disk, even basic installation software!), I'm screwed: I don't see any way to get a workable computer now without some kind of disk to boot from. So NOW my concern is more about spending the $$ for a new OS and THEN finding out the hard drive has other problems too...is broken in some other way to boot.
    How to check this? As I said, I did run "chkdsk" back when I could get into the recovery menu and run the fix-it programs. It didn't note any problems. Thinking of taking this opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista (which I never liked), but I have to know that the computer is otherwise ok....how to be sure?

  • I am trying to type a password into a Pages document. The number goes in OK but when I hit return or any other key the numbers get transposed. What happens and how do I corret it?  Thanks

    I am trying to type a password into a Pages document. It types in OK, but when I press return or close the document some of the letters in the password get transposed. What happens and how can I fix this? Thanks.

    Are you just typing ordinary text into a word processing document or are you trying to set a password on the document itself?
    If it is the first perhaps Pages is trying to spell check the password. You can tell it to ignore that "word", or turn spellchecking off.

  • Turn a script into an .exe file?

    Hi,
    How can I turn a JavaScript into an .exe file (on Windows)? The
    advantage is that if the script uses only ScriptUI features, it will
    never need to launch InDesign. Additionally, it is possible to package
    it that way with a special icon that appears if it is placed on the
    desktop, and when it runs the icon appears in the taskbar.
    An example of what I'd look to achieve is the hyphenchecker script,
    written by the late Teus de Jong. There is one Windows-only version
    available on his website (which is still being maintained, probably by
    his son) which is an .exe file -- precisely what I'm trying to do.
    Thanks,
    Ariel

    straight form javascript i don't think there is a way.
    however you can use, i think, Visual Basic (not vbScript!!) as a wrapper for js (using doScript)?

  • I just got a refurbished iPod 5th generation 32gb.  This morning I went to turn it on and it didn't do anything and kept the black screen.  I tryed to turn it on but it didn't do anything.  Help?

    I just got a refurbished iPod 5th generation 32gb.  This morning I went to turn it on and it didn't do anything and kept the black screen.  I tryed to turn it on but it didn't do anything.  The day before it had looked weird, as in I was downloading an app and it powered down, the when I tryed to turn it back on it got red and green lines on it.  Should I send my ipod in to Apple so they can fix it or can I do this myself?
