What Router Would Be Best If Using Two PlayStation 3 Consoles?

What Router Would Be Best If Using Two PlayStation 3 Consoles That Are Connected To The Same Broadband Internet Connection? My Two Cousins Aren't Able To Connect To The Same Lobby Party Together As I Am To Play COD MW3. They Have Tried Having Both Consoles Hardwired to the Router But The Same Problem Of Having Only One Of My Two Cousins To Be Able To Connect To The Lobby Party While The Other One Can't Connect. Thanks For Any Help With This Issue.

My router easily handles 2-4 PS3s at a time during Uncharted multiplayer and its a few years old. Its a Linksys Wireless N (model no. WRT150N). Like I said, its not the newest but it handles all our consoles just fine. My internet speed is 24mbps, maybe your cousins need a faster connection? Hope this helps.

What router would work best for my app?

Hi,
I have been looking at two Cisco routers for my home/work network. They are the 1811 and the 871 series.
My network consists of 1 2K3 SBS (It dose my DHCP, Domain Controller, Wins, and active directory.), 2 Cad stations, 1 Email/web PC, 1 Notebook, and I will have 3 people VPN'ing in at any point in time for files.
Also, my broadband connection is cable (8m/768k) as of right now and will soon see FiOS in my area and I am looking at possibly getting the 15m/2m tier or the 30m/5m tier if the price is right. So will aether of these routers handle this wan connection speed?

The 871 peaks at about 12mbps vs. 35mbps for the 1811.
Check out this document to compare all models.
Hope this helps. Please rate this post.
Thanks,

What cable would be best to transfer files?

I just brought a 2013 rMBP- 13' and want to transfer files from a 2009 iMac running 10.6.8. Can I use Migration Assistant...if so what cable would be best? Firewire to firewire? Also will Snow Leopard be able to talk with Maverick?

Just to be sure....Since there isn't a firewire port on the new 2013 rMBP, I add the Apple ThunderBolt to FireWire Adapter then connect it with a firewire 800 cable to the 2009 iMac. Then Migration Assistant will be able to transfer over files, etc. Correct?

What screen sizes are best to use?

What screen sizes are best to use. Looking at the responsive design in Captivate 8, the screen sizes do not make a lot of sense. I am not sure if I am misunderstanding them or not. The tablet size is 768 x 627, yet an iPad 4 is 1024 x 768. The Samsung is equally different. The same goes for the phone size. Am I missing something? I would like to use my phone in landscape mode.
Thanks

You can edit the break points in Responsive Design. It is not the real resolution of the devices that is important, but the browser resolution. Moreover you have to take into account extra space like for the playbar (45 pixels).
To check the resolutions, this site can be useful: http://viewportsizes.com/
You'll see that for most smartphones the browser resolution is much smaller then the real resolution of the device. I have a HTC One, 1920x1080 but the browser resolution in Portrait has only a width of 360. in Landscape 640.
There are so many devices around, you'll have to choose the ones you are aiming at. It is a real jungle, sorry. Not to speak of the different browsers with each a different support of HTML5.

Can i use Avid mbox pro with logic pro x? And also which mac would be best for using avid pro tools 11

If your info is correct you need to first buy Snow Leopard from the Apple on-line store ($20) install and update to 10.6.8 and then buy Lion from the App Store for $20.

I have a MacBook Pro OS X v.10.9.1 that doesn't seem to have a DVD player installed. Any thoughts on what app would be best?

I have a MacBook Pro that doesn't seem to have a DVD player installed. Any ideas on what would be best for viewing?

Hi
I would try this - from Apple
To burn DVDs - You know that they come in two versions ?
Data-DVDs - to store files (even movie files) onto - Can not be played on any Video-DVD-player.
Video-DVDs - as commersial movie DVDs
Data-DVDs - can be burned directly from DeskTop/Finder (but only one time/DVD - no incremental storage)
Video-DVDs - needs a DVD-authoring program.
• iDVD - is the best possibly for most of us (not avail. from Apple any more)
• DVD Studio Pro - best ever made ? (not avail. from Apple any more)
• Roxio Toast™ - I like (I got, I use - rather often)
• Compressor - $50 from Apple
• Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store (very simple - Quality ?? not sure - looked problematic reg. Interlacing)
• Burn - a free alternative from Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
My old note on this - same same:
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.
Free solutions:
Burn - a free alternative from Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
Gives a fairly good resulting Video-DVD
Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store
(very simple - Quality ?? not sure - looked problematic reg. Interlacing)

What amplifier would work best for Airport Express?

I have built in a ceiling speakers in all my rooms and all the rooms have their own apple macmini or laptop
All wiring of the speakers come to a central media room, and in this, I want to place 8 airport express to allow each room to be able to play through itunes onto their ceiling speaker. Effectively we could also put all speakers on from one room and create a party mode
The problem is that airport express requires powered speakers and these ceiling speakers are not powered of course. This means I would need to put an amplifier between the airport express and the speaker (I think)
Just wondering if anyone has successfully done this?
I have had a look at multi zone amplifier like
http://www.htd.com/whole-house-audio/mid-level-whole-house-audio/MCA-66-Audio-Co ntroller-Amplifier
Most multi zone amplifiers have their own keypad, but with apple you do not require this as you can control it straight from your mac! So what I want to do is control the INPUT level on the amplifier, and fix the output level on the amplifier, if I am thinking right..... as I thought this would work best ...
then if you put the volume control on the mac to MAX the amplifier would already be preset to max and the ceiling speakers would rock
Any suggestions or .....
Thanks

http://www.macworld.com/article/143258/2009/10/airtuneswholehomeaudio.html
In this Macworld article, they just use multiple Parasound Zamps, which are single zone amps that turn on and off by themselves, depending on when sound is passing through. I'm planning on doing this with my new construction because it looks like a simple setup with no remotes needed save the iPhone, which I always have on me.

What kind of wireless router would be best for my Westell B90?

I used to have linksys WRT54G router set up with my westell B90-21004 modem. It used to work fairly well until I've noticed that I've been getting intermittent internet connection. I've called verizon twice. First time, they asked me to switch the ends of the line connected to my modem. The problem continued. The second time, it was because the line between the modem and the phone jack was over 14 ft. I'm still getting intermittent problem. So I've been looking around for a solution and I figure it might be the router. As of right now, the modem is connected directly to the PC and it seems to be fine. When I tried to plug it back to the router, I can't even get online. What kind of router should I get? This was my second router. I used to have a netgear that didn't work at all. Is it even the router's fault? Maybe I did a bad setup or something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm still getting what APPEARS to be intermittent internet connection, but it seems that's only if I use firefox. Everything I load in internet explorer seems to load smoothly.
#1 Do you have any add-ons installed for FireFox?
#2 If so, which ones? Please name all of them...

What wireless router would be good to use with OS 10 Lion at home?

I have a Mac Book Pro with Leapard and I just recently purchaced a iMac with Lion. I want to set up a wireless network with my provider, in my house. What wireless router should I use that is compatable with Lion OS?

Virtually any modern wireless router that has its latest Firmware updates should work fine. I myself have been extremely pleased with my Apple Airport Extreme wireless router, but spending that much money is not necessary.
Hope this helps

What kind of hard drive would be best to use as cache for Final Cut?

Hi,
I'm having problems with Final Cut Pro because it hangs a lot and runs real slow. I've checked the hard drives and found one of them had problems so I'm going to change it. For a SATA interface, what type of HHDD would you recomend, internal SATA II, External high speed firewire like Apple's G-Drive?
Thanks in advance

If you have additional drive bays available inside your Mac, that would be my first choice. Second choice would be an external eSATA setup and last would be an external Firewire drive.
>External high speed firewire like Apple's G-Drive?
Apple makes a G-Drive? I thought those were only from G-Tech: http://www.g-technology.com/products/g-drive.cfm

How best to use TWO Time Capsules, Airport Express and Apple TV?

Hello
I have the following Apple equipment and am wondering how best to plug it all together. At the moment I am not using some items at all because I do not know how to best use!
1. MacBook Pro (2012 model) 'Mac1'
2. MacBook Pro (2009 model) 'Mac2'
3. MacBook Air (2011 model) 'Mac3'
4. Time Capsule 1TB (model A1355) 'TC1'
5. (another!) Time Capsule 1TB (model A1355) 'TC2'
6. Airport Express (2008 model)
7. Apple TV (2013 model)
8. LaCie 1TB USB Hard Drive
9. Apple iPhone
10. Sonos system
CURRENTLY
TC1 is plugged into the Virgin Media modem to provide a WiFi network called 'Amer's Apple Network' around the house. The Virgin Media wifi has been switched off to reduce interference.
TC2 is not being used. The Airport Express is plugged in upstairs (or sometimes near garden) to extend the 'Amer's Apple Network' and this seems to work fine.
Apple TV is plugged into main TV and is plugged into 'Amer's Apple Network' directly using Ethernet to TC1 but often runs slowly and does not work if Mac1 is not awake (or iTunes is not running on Mac1).
LaCie is plugged directly into TC1 and currently has a old copy of my iTunes library stored on it which my Sonos system access. However, there seems to be a problem in that iTunes randomly uses that LaCie library and/or local Mac library. Often we get a pop up message on Mac1 saying "Library cannot be found" and we have to manually navigate to the LaCie drive (via the TC1 folder) to open iTunes. Also connecting iPhone to Mac1 seems to work very slowly as it appears to be trying to back up to LaCie drive.
QUESTION
What would be the best, most efficient way of using all (or if some is redundant equipement then which), to set up the following:
1. A shared home network which enables all three computers (and any future Macs and/or iPads etc) to access one master shared iTunes library, which is the one that is updated with any new music, films etc added via any of those machines
2. A shared home network that enables a shared files folder but also allows each user to keep their own personal hard drive (eg locally on whichever machine they are using).
3. A fast (as possible) iTunes back up process when connecting iPhone to computer
4. Usage of both TC1 and TC2 (and Airport Express) to extend network around the house (several weak spots exist) and also to maximise storage using the 1TB of each TC1 and TC2.
5. Would it then also be possible to attach the LaCie USB drive for an additional 1TB storage? If so how and would it be very slow? From existing usage it appears to be very slow when used as a regular access drive, so perhaps better as a 'slow' drive that is just occassionaly used for back up and nothing else
Main question is (to the networking experts!), how would you personally set up all above to give best wifi coverage, fastest back ups, access to Sonos for iTune library, access to Apple TV, and shared folders etc etc. I basically seem to have lots of kit (albeit some quite old) and nothing seems to be working together particularly well.
Happy also to ditch any bottlenecks in the above equipment list (eg LaCie USB drive?) and add something which would better bring together the other components?
Any thoughts much appreciated!

So ... FINALLY ... I found some time to implement this!
Steps taken and results:
1. Moved my entire music library to Mac1. Used the opportunity to also share my other Mac2 onto HomeShare and copy across any music files from Mac2 onto Mac1 that were not already there.
Result: Mac1 now holds my whole music library locally. Works incredibly fast whenever playing a track, adding a new track or updating info on existing track. Good!
2. LaPastenague's instructions for bridging TC1 with TC2 worked a dream. Only thing is they are basically next to each other as I don't have the energy (or cabling expertise) to install (cleanly) long runs of ethernet cable.
Result: Got a clear Wifi signal, not sure if any faster than before but I assume two TCs next to each other both sending out the same network signal can't be any worse than one. Main thing is that I have an extra 1Tb network drive (i.e. TC2) connected to TC1 which I can access from all my Macs now.
3. Copied the entire Mac1 Music library over to TC2 drive into the Data folder. This happened relatively quickly (I think!) ... but would welcome any comments on whether slower than expected, to highlight if I might be able to improve the connection. 12,000 songs in 2 hours, with Mac1 sending the files to TC2 wirelessly. I know I could probably have connected Mac1 to TC2 by ethernet cable to speed up, but I had run out of Ethernet cables by now!
Result: All my music (as of today anyway) now on Mac1 AND on TC2 in normal readable format (i.e. by Sonos and as a simple back-up that can just be carried around and copied anywhere in the event of loss of Mac1 drive
4. Set up TC2 Music Library in Data folder to be the networked music folder for Sonos using "\\TC2\Data" (ps. why doesn't Sonos allow a simple click and select option for choosing drive and instead force us to go back to the 80s and type in drive path which isn't always clear, especially on a Mac!)
Result: Sonos can access all my music (as of today anyway) on TC2 and no need for Mac1 or any other Mac to be open.
BUT: As you may have guessed, the issue with the above set up is that as soon as I buy a new song, it will get added to my Mac1 quickly and smoothly ... but the area where I really use my music (i.e. Sonos via TC2) will have the older music library.
QUESTION: Is there any way in which I can adjust the above set up, so that whenever I add new music to my Mac1 it also copies across to TC2? Don't mind if this is done slowly and later (eg in middle of night) but of course don't want to have to copy across manually each time. Would prefer it to just update newly added tracks regularly.

What wireless headphones are best for use with ipad2?thanks

I am a computer newbie?!!! I had not owned a computer device of any any sort.( I know in this day and age) and I received an iPad 2 as a gift. I think my friends were tired of me asking to use their computer to receive e mail ,etc. Any way, questions galore!!! I do not even have an Internet connection in my house!! I have Dish TV and a cellular phone. NO land line . Which company is best ? Verizon ( I don't get FIOS)Optimum or? I am overwhelmed with claims of faster speeds etc. I know I have to buy a wireless ROUTER. Which is best. ALSO which WIRELESS HEADPHONES for when I go to the gym? Thanks for your help!!!!

Wireless headsets, in my opinion, never work as well as I would like. Motorola makes some designed for athletic use. I'd check reviews on Amazon. You're really going to take an iPad to the gym?!?

What platform would be best suited for this application?

What I am trying to develop is a multiplayer game that is
similar to sites such as pogo.com or yahoo games where it is
multiplayer with separate rooms and each of those rooms shared
information, but not between each other. It will of course also
need database access. I have been developing in FMS but now I found
the existence of Remoting and just wondering which would be a
better solution for me and if anyone can, explain the clear
difference between the two and an example of an application for
each?
it may also be of importance to include that the platform I'm
developing for has no java capability.

FMS. IMO

[Solved]What WM would be best for a dedicated console emulator box?

Hey all
So, using a recycled, slightly old small-form-factor computer, I am making a dedicated emulation box. It will run game console emulators for every game system I can think of. But anyways, that is what I intend to use this box for, and only that. I have been setting it up from an Arch Linux base install, aiming to consume the least resources I can (because it is an older box, and I want the best performance with my emulators). I need a recommendation on a Window manager that therefore:
-Does not have ANY sort of taskbars/titlebars/other stuff in the way.
-Consumes the least resources possible
Now, the current winner is just a default X11 shell that is seen when xinit is run. However, the shell does not cover the whole screen. I want the screen to be all one colour. Because I want the look of using this box with my friends to make it look put together.
Any recommendations?
Scott

I dunno about dwm, it has some bugs with fullscreen apps - funnily enough emulators seem to give it trouble, ScummVM will not run fullscreen on my install for instance.
I'd vote for Openbox, it has no taskbar or anything by default, windows will be initially themed but you can disable window borders and even the right click menu if you wish.
I was thinking openbox at first, because I use it on my main computer and know it pretty well. Thanks.
I was considering dwm, but thanks for the advisory about the fullscreen bugs.
I'll give evilwm a shot too. And give making the x11 shell bigger a shot too.
Thanks for the recommendations, but I have another quick question:
Is there any way to automatically login to the root account on the TTY without the use of X? This machine, once setup, will be only in my house and not connected to the internet, so the dangers of running as root are virtually 0. I want this because, on boot, I will just have to press power, and then without doing anything (aided by a bit of bash) I will be taken to a menu of sorts to select what console and game I want to play.

Hi, what formula would I need to use to show current age?

I'm not a big numbers user and have very little concept of how to use it.
What I need is a formula to calculate an age in years and months based on a date of birth in a previous column.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Kate

Kate,
You can use the DATEDIF() function which will return the difference between two dates (selectable what the return units are as "Years", "Months", "Days", etc). Then compute the age in years and months.
I suggest a method where you compute the age in months, then translate that to years and remaining months as follows:
cell B2 = DATEDIF(A2, NOW(), "M")
cell C2=INT(B2/12)& "Y "& MOD(B2, 12)&"M"
select cell B2 and C2, then fill down.
the formula in Cs is broken down as follows...
- the "&" operator concatenates the things on the left and right (that is it connects them into a single thing
- the INT() function computes the integer value of the division which will be the whole number of years
- the MOD() function is modulo and returns the remainder os B2/12
I hope this helps
