What is a WEP key and where do I find it?

Any dumbed down help would be greatly appreciated because I'm close to returning the base station time capsule thing. I can connect macs because I know the password, but friends with PCs can't connect, I can't connect a netbook or a blackberry because they all request this wep key. I can't find it and I don't know what it is. Sorry for being stupid, but I'm a loss. Thank you.

-Connect the ethernet form the windows PC to the Time Capsule.
-Update the Windows Computer to SP3 and then head to the Microsoft Update Support Site and then search WPA Patch or WPA 2 Patch
-Download and Install the patch
-discount the ethernet from the Time Capsule and try to rejoin the wireless network
-If still having issues then change the Time Capsule security settings
Or change the security on the Time Capsule From WPA to WEP (Uses WPA By Default)
Step to do this. On Mac
-Open finder and head to the Application folder
-Once in Applications Folder Please find the Utility Folder and open it.
-Now that we are in the Utility Folder please find a application called *Airport Utility* (Not airport admin utility)
-Please Open Airport Utility
-You should now see the time capsule on the left hand side of Airport Utility (AU)
-In The bottom left hand you will see a button that says *Manual Setup* please click on it.
-Once done reading the configuration file you should see the *Summary Page*
-Now there are some tab's please click on the *Wireless Tab*
-Now you should see lots of info don't worry we only need to change one thing and that the wireless security
-Right now it should say *WPA / WPA 2 Personal*
-PLEASE HOLD OPTION and use the MOUSE TO CLICK ON THE DROP DOWN FEILD
-Now you should see a a few security protocol Please select the *WEP (Transitional Security Network)*
-Enter a New Password this password may need to be 8 or 13 numbers / letters
-Now Click UPDATE
-Now you are using WEP
-NOTE: You may have to reselect your network using airport
-This Should Solve The Issues Let Me Know What Happen.

What is a WEP key and how do I find mine?

I'm trying to set up my Wi-Fi connection for my Nintendo DS, and in order to do so, I must enter my WEP key, however, I honestly have no idea what that is, or how to find it. I'm currently using a model wrt54gs v. 4

Try these steps to get the network key from the router. Open
an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 Leave username blank & in password use admin.Click on the Wireless tab. Now Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security.
Check the security mode and security key .

You should be able to setup WPA / WPA2 access, rather than WEP - which is old an less secure. (Unless your devices are too old for WPA??)
Try this link: http://spotlight.getnetwise.org/wireless/wifitips/apple/apple-wpa.php
**Edit
Airport does support the WEP protocol.

I have iPhoto2,just loaded OSX 10.5.8. What iPhoto do I need and where can I find it?

I have iPhoto 2 and just loaded OSX 10.5.8. What iPhoto do I need and where can I find it?

iLife11 is SnowLeo 10.6.x (and therfore Intel only). Version 09 would be the last ppc 10.5.x compatible.
I for sure remember to have loaded the full ilife 06 suite on Leopard back then , it ran fine.
So you could look for any version from ilife 06 to ilife 09 to be on a safe side, they work all on Intel and PPC and also all on 10.5.x .
Of course the newer the version, the more features ( but the more power is needed ).

What is a "FIN" file and where can I find it?

When I try to open my project a message comes up saying that I need this "menu media-FIN-0000000f" file or the project cannot play properly. It will not even open all the way.
What is this type of file and where can I find it?
Thanks

It is a render file. And what this means is that you exported a reference quicktime of a sequence instead of a self contained QT file, and one of the render files it references has been deleted or gone offline (this happens when a sequence no longer references the file). Only option is to delete the ref QT from your Browser and sequence.

Photoshop Elements cannot load mts video and says I need to install the proper codec. What codec do I need and where do I find it?

I have a new Dell Inspiron with 8G memory and an Intel i7 processor. I just installed PSE12 and Premier12. I tried to import some video into the Organizer, but the thumbnails are just grey squares, and when I double-click, I get an error message that the system does not have the required codec installed. I don't know what codec this might be or where to find out. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
Let me add that I'm running Win 8.1 AND the Premier 12 package runs the video clips just fine. The problem seems limited to the Organizer display.

What is the WPS button, and where do I find it??????

A guest set up their computer and printer to mine today as a guest. My wireless printer now will not work for me.

I know I set this darn thing up before, but I can't for the life of me find it now. Please help

As I stated, I have a PIXMA MG5400 Canon printer, scanner, etc. This Canon product did not have a booklet of instructions, phone numbers, or anything that references issues or problems a consumer can have with installing their product. This product is supposed to be wireless, yet it seems Canon wants you to "hardwire" activation. I have an ASUS laptop computer with Windows 8.1 on it. My computer does take a DVD. Therefore, I have to seek a driver from Canon's website. I am trying to download a driver for it. When I went to the Canon website and chose a driver. When I attempted to download the driver, I received an error message telling me the driver was outdated. It gave me a list of other drivers to download. When I tried to download the drivers or fix the problem, it ask to activate my account by putting in a license number. It said I should have received a license number by email. I bought this Canon printer at Sam's Club. I did not get a license number, nor did I give my email address to anyone to send me a license number. How do I get a license number? Is there a Canon representative I can talk too? Please assist. I need access to my product. Thanks.
