Two laptops in the same place - only one connects to a wireless network
I share a room with the guy I'm working with, and his computer (older MB) easily connects to the wireless connection for a fast connection. He has full bars on the Airport icon. My older MBP took several tries to even connect to the wireless network and it doesn't get many bars. It is very slow. Is there any fix to this problem?

To avoid the +"been there done that"+ scenarios, please advise what troubleshooting methods you have already tried to rectify the problem.
Have you run the network or router Diagnostic test for example? Check your network and router settings?

My friend had her laptop at my house and wanted to connect to my wireless network... I couldn't remember my password and didn't know how to retrieve the info from my ipad.. How can I find ut what the PW is to my wireless network? Thanks
Your password is something you created and is configured in your router. Your router may have the facility to reveal a password but you will have to find that out for your router.
Alternatively, you can reset your router back to factory default which will remove your security settings so you can reconfigure them. This is usually a small button you press on the back of the router. Maybe recessed in a small hole so you need to use a toothpick to depress it. -
What am I missing here. I'm sure it is some kind of sitting that is not right.

Power off and then back on the router
What happens when you enter the network's PW?
Try forgetting/deleting the network if necessary. To do that go to System Preferences>Network>wifi>Advanced and select the network and click on the minus sign

Two users in the same Mac accessing one TimeCapsule
Hi,
How can i make two user accounts in the same Mac access simultaneously the same TimeCapsule?
I've tried setting them to use accounts to connect to TimeCapsule as well as using a single password for TimeCapsule.
But i keep having the same problem. When one user accesses the time capsule the other gets ejected or the TimeCapsule folder appears with a forbidden sign.
What do i have to do?
Please help.
Thanks in advanceI think i understand what is happening.
Leopard mounts the TimeCapsule disk using mount_afp command and any disk mounted with mount_afp will automatically have as owner <user>:staff and read and write permissions only to the owner. All other users have access denied.
(If anyone knows how to change the default permissions of mount_afp please reply!)
If like me, you have two user accounts in the same Mac (lets say user1 and user2) and use fast user switching a lot like i do, since it is a family computer, you'll have serious problems since what happens is the following:
1. Mount the Timecapsule in user1.
2. Fast user switching to user2.
3. The TimeCapsule will appear unmounted in user2
4. Mount the TimeCapsule in user2.
5. List the /Volumes folder and you'll see something like this
drwx------ user1:staff /TimeCapsule
drwx------ user2:staff /TimeCapsule-1
No problem... I can live with having two mounts for the same network disk.
The problem is the following...
6. Fast user switch to user1 again.
7. Open a finder window
8. On the left the TimeCapsule is listed as a network drive (as expected) and is shows as mounted!
However... The association has changed and once i click the TimeCapsule icon in the sidebar it now points to /Volumes/TimeCapsule-1 and therefore user1 has permission denied.
9. I opened a terminal window with user1 and went to /Volumes/TimeCapsule and everything was ok!.
So the conclusion is... the finder window sidebar TimeCapsule is pointing to a Volume it shouldn't be...
How is it possible to correct this situation???
Please help! I just want a way to have two users on the same machine using the same time capsule at the same time.
Thanks! -
4 laptops in the house and only one give me good d...
All four laptops running ok but only one give me 35.20 mbps download the rest sit around 7.00 to 14.00 mbps
Please why is this anyone know?
Iv had my line checked bt BT and they say its OK
Only had infinity a week i now think its going to be a no good at all......
All tests run with BT SPEED TESTER BETA.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Or if you check the network connection speed when you're in the same room as the hub and it tops out at 54Mbps then you're on wireless G.
You can check the network connection speed by pressing ctrl shift and delete and selecting the network tab.

Each account has the same name (e.g. both are called [email protected]). The newer one was set up by accident during a conversion from Outlook. Both access the same inbox and sent mail. The two accounts show up as separate in Thunderbird and both have their own inboxes and sent mail boxes. The older one has not updated since the newer one was created, and the older one can no longer reach the server. I want to delete the old one, but am worried that it may delete the folders for the new one in the process. All of the relevant messages are still hosted on the ISP's server. Please advise whether I can do a simple "delete account" on the old account and not wipe out the new one at the same time.
Actually, doing a "delete account" does not delete the folders associated with it. They are still there, but unused. There should not be a problem with doing the "delete account".

Unsyncing two laptops using the same gmail account
Hi,
I am transferring all data to my Macbook Pro from my old macbook
I set up gmail on the new Macbook Pro and it was immediately Synced across from the old to the new laptop. GREAT! But unfortunately NOT great!!
I now cannot do anything without it affecting the gmail on BOTH machines.
I need to remove ALL the emails etc from the old machine Before I sell it and I can't without it taking out everything on the NEW laptop as well.
So How do I UNSYNC them?
Thanks for your help.Hi again,
Sorry I thought it had worked! I removed both me gmail accounts as you instructed and then then went in and tested it again but unfortunately its still removing from both accounts on the two laptops.
So I went into Firefox browser Sync setting and Unsynced any devices I had synced removed all google cookies and logged out an in again but when I delete on my old macbook gmail it still removes it from the gmail account in the new one as well. So the UNSYNC function on Macbook Pro and on Firefox doesn't seem to be working as it should
Any other things I should do?
Thanks again -

Has anyone else had this problem?
My ipod has been working perfectly for years and all of a sudden i have gone through three sets of headphones at least in the last month, i have discovered that it is a problem with where the headphones go......no idea what the name of it is so can anybody please help me dont really want to get a new ipod as this is perfect bar this one thing....thanksTry to play it on a iPod Docking station, if it is okay, then you need to clean the iPod earphone jack hole, with paper clip, entwined with wool soaked in a small amount of alcohol.
Or just blow a jet of compressed air into the hole, if you got those camera kit with a rubber air pump.
If it is still one sided, on the iPod dock, then, does the same song, play normally on the iTunes?
Have a nice day! -

Two Threads Sharing the Same Object
I am learning Java multithreading recently and I really hit the wall when I came to synchronizing data using the synchronized keyword. According to the explanation, synchronized will only work when 2 or more threads are accessing the same object. If there are accessing 2 different objects, they can run the synchronized method in parallel.
My question now is how to make sure for synchronized method to work, I am actually working with the same and only one object??
Imagine this:
Two person with the same account number are trying to access the very ONE account at the same time.
I suppose the logic will be:
Two different socket objects will be created. When it comes to the login or authentication class or method, how can I make sure in term of object that the login/authentication class or method will return them only ONE object (because they share the same account), so that they will be qualified for using the synchronized method further down the road?
Thanks in advance!Actually your understanding is wrong. Consider:
public class MyClass {
private int someInt;
private float someFloat;
private synchronized void someMethod(final int value) {
if (value > 2000) someInt = 2000;
private synchronized void someOtherMethod(final float value) {
if (value > 2.0) someFloat = 1.999f;
}YOu might think that two different threads can enter this code, one can enter in someOtherMethod() while one is in someMethod(). That is wrong. The fact is that synchronization works by obtaining synchronization locks on a target object. In this case by putting it on the method declaration you are asking for the lock on the 'this' object. This means that only one of these methods may enter at a time. This code would be better written like so ...
public class MyClass {
private int someInt;
private float someFloat;
private void someMethod(final int value) {�
synchronized(someInt) {
if (value > 2000) someInt = 2000;
private void someOtherMethod(final float value) {
synchronized(someFloat) {
if (value > 2.0) someFloat = 1.999f;
}In this manner you are only locking on the pertinent objects to the method and not on 'this'. This means that both methods can be entered simultaneously by two different threads. However watch out for one little problem.
public class MyClass {
private int someInt;
private float someFloat;
private void someMethod(final int value) {�
synchronized(someInt) {
if (value > 2000) {
someInt = 2000;
synchronized (someFloat) {
someFloat = 0.0f;
private void someOtherMethod(final float value) {
synchronized(someFloat) {
if (value > 2.0) {
someFloat = 1.99999f;
synchronized (someInt) {
someInt = 0;
}In this case you can have a deadlock. If two threads enter one of these methods at the same time one would be waiting on the lock for someInt and the other on the lock for someFloat. Neither would proceed. The solution to the problem is simple. Acquire all locks in alphabetical order before you use the first.
public class MyClass {
private int someInt;
private float someFloat;
private void someMethod(final int value) {�
synchronized (someFloat) {
synchronized(someInt) {
if (value > 2000) {
someInt = 2000;
someFloat = 0.0f;
private void someOtherMethod(final float value) {
synchronized(someFloat) {
if (value > 2.0) {
someFloat = 1.99999f;
synchronized (someInt) {
someInt = 0;
}In this manner one thread will block waiting on someFloat and there can be no deadlock. -
Can I use the light room 5 software I have bought to install it on my new laptop using the same serial number as before
Yes, the Lightroom license key is single user/owner.
It can be installed on two computers at the same time with one in use at any point in time.
Mac & or PC.
There is no deactivate process just uninstall from one and install on another as many times that is necessary.
The link below gives a detailed procedural procedure.

I have had a Firefox crash and uninstalled then reinstalled three times. For some reason Mozbackup won't back up my files. In checking profiles, I have two profiles with different names and both marked default, located in the same place. I would like to use the old profile but the profile manager only shows one profile.
How can I get to use the old profile?

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?
Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!
