Why do i need to reconfigure a network each time i boot up ? (G5, airport)

I am using a G5 with a built in airport extreme card and a mini antenna. Each time I boot up I have to reconfigure a network. I could not locate any info from Apple regarding this problem. Any one know how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

It sounds as if you have an ad-hoc network, that is a computer-to-computer network without a base station. A by product of ad-hoc networking is that you have to re-establish the network each time the computer that establishes the network is booted. This disadvantage is overcome by having a dedicated router in your network.

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? To my horror, I've emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes (and why do I need to enter this question three times?"

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"?
To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
(Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
Thanks for any thoughts.

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

Need to find the network every time?

So I installed a new AE yesterday, for the sole purpose of establishing a home network for sharing internet access and a printer between an iMac and a Dell laptop. Simply connected the cable modem and printer USB to AE as instructed.
Haven't tested the printing functionality yet but the network is generally working as desired, but each time the iMac sleeps the network connection is lost. The only way to return online is to go through Network Diagnostics and find the network again and submit the required password... a bit more cumbersome than I'd hoped.
Is there a way around this procedure or some setting I've overlooked that would make it more efficient to get online?
Thanks

If you migrated your account/apps over from an older Mac, you may have brought over some network settings that your newer Mac doesn't like. You may be able to resolve this by going to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and moving all those migrated settings to the Trash (don't empty yet), and rebooting. After you reboot, you'll have to reconfigure your network settings, but the old stuff won't be there to confuse anything.
I had to do this with my new MacBook Air, since it doesn't have a built-in Ethernet port (which my old PowerBook did have). The MBA names the ports differently, and since its default is wireless, the migrated settings kept attempting to connect wirelessly through a port whose name previously was for the PowerBook's wired Ethernet port. This forced me to manually connect to the network each time I started up my MBA, or whenever I awakened it from sleep.
Forcing the clean setup of the network resolved the issue. Once your network is working correctly, you can empty the Trash, otherwise move the newly created stuff out to the Desktop and move the previous settings in the Trash back to the SystemConfiguration folder, then delete the new settings from the Desktop. Follow this with a reboot to return to your initial network configuration.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Why Do I have to load adobe Flashplayer each time I switch my computer off and on again this only started about 2 weeks ago is it a firefox problem or an adobe issue????

Why Do I have to load adobe Flashplayer each time I switch my computer off and on again this only started about 2 weeks ago is it a firefox problem or an adobe issue. I am using adobe Flashplayer ver 11

This is a good question. It's possible your Xserver isn't configured for the correct mouse type. Try logging into a command line console (no X11 running). Run /usr/bin/X11/X -configure. It should create an Xorg configuration file in your root directory.
Copy this to /etc/X11/Xorg.conf and try restarting your Xserver. The file it creates might require some tweaking.

Have to manually select my network each time I open an application

We recently upgraded to an Intel iMac from a G3 iMac. Everything transferred great using the migration assistant. Our only problem is that we have to manually select our home network each time we open an application such as Safari. Once connected everything works great. It's a minor inconvenience but one I'd like to fix. Probably it's just a simple check box somewhere but I haven't been able to find it. Thanks in advance for any help.

In the Network perference pane, under Airport, there is a setting that should read "By default join preferred networks." Beneath this setting, there is a list of preferred networks. Make sure that your home network is listed first, and/or delete all others (if any). Also, make sure that the setting "Disconnect from network upon logout" is not selected.

Why does Calendar keep reverting from full screen each time I exit the app?

I'm using a 2014 Macbook Air. It's running Yosemite.
Why does Calendar keep reverting from full screen each time I exit the app?
On my older Macbook at work, calendar stays full screen whether I exit the app or restart the computer (similar to Mail - which is staying in full screen on both computers).
Please help me adjust settings so I don't have to keep putting Calendar into full screen.
Thanks!

Why do I have to "choose" the network every time?

My old Linksys Router died recently so I replaced it with a Time Capsule, which has been largely fine.
The only real issue that I have is that I cant find a way to keep my Mac and PC logged in to the network. Every time I open my PowwerBook G4 I have to go to Airport and choose my network. I tried changing the network settings to WPA2 rather than WPA2/WPA2 Professional - no change, still the same result.
On my old Linksys I was able to have no security - by virtue of using Mac address lists and no visible network name. Very effective.
Any thoughts? Can I still use Mac addresses?

Hi Duane,
Many thanks for the suggestion - but yes, I have already done this. Hence my surprise at needing to log in each time. Interestingly, the same also appears to apply to my wife's PC laptop - ie failure to remain logged in to the network.
Any other thoughts / suggestions?
Cheers,
Hugh

Why is Winclone Needed? Can't Disk Utility Restore a Boot Camp Partition?

Hi. Could we just use Disk Utility to create a backup the Boot Camp Partition running Windows 7 64-bit for example and then just use Disk Utility to restore it if you need to replace your Boot Camp partition?
Why is Winclone the tool use to create an image of Boot Camp partition as well as to restore a Boot Camp partition? Thank you in advance.
Gbu.

Thanks for the reply. How about if you opt for the non compressed image, the DVD/CD Master option (Image Format) when you do the New Image in Disk Utility? Would choosing the DVD/CD Master option be cloning it instead of archiving it? If the images created by Disk Utility are not the exact copy or clone then, it won't be bootable I believe but how come when you create an image of a DVD (to back it up for example) and burn that image, it is bootable which mean it copies it exactly (clone it in effect)?
What does WinClone do or copy exactly that Disk Utility can't?

'Select WLAN Network' every time I boot! Grr.

I can't wait to get rid of my Nokia E71 - the most infuriating, badly designed, buggy piece of technology ever 'created' (more like shoved into existence). In the meantime I am stuck with it on contract, and have one (well 15) particularly annoying bug:
Every time it boots, it says 'Select WLAN Network'. Of course the geniuses at Nokia do not tell you what application is requesting this, or why, and no matter how many times I select my home network, and enter the WPA key (which is already saved as the default access point anyway as well as already being connected via VoIP), it asks me again and again every time I reboot.
If I am out of WLAN (it's called Wi-Fi Nokia BTW) range, it gives a 'No WLAN Network Found' error on boot instead, and forces me to press OK. Absolutely waste of time.
Can you advise how to remove this one-aggravating-annoyance-too-many-feature please?
If I email Nokia support, they just tell me to take my phone to my nearest service centre. I will do one day, and shove it up their ~~~TRANSMISSION ENDS

What provider are you under contract with? As my E71 certainly does NOT do what you describe. I have seen on these forums that the provider 3 (or someone else) has custom firmware that apparently attaches to the network all the time for some reason. The posts I have read so far do not mention anything happening like yours so I am unsure what is going on.

Leopard shuts off my network each time I shut off, restart, or sleep?

After installing Leopard each time I shut off, restart or sleep my computer (auto or manual) it shuts-off my Belkin N Network. I have to manually unplug the wireless modem and replug. I'm running a WPA password protected network. It of course affects other wireless connected computers as well but is defiantly caused by my MacBookPro. Any ideas?

Just as a test, if you turn Airport off on your MBP does the same thing happen?
Once it's off, then turning off your MBP should have no effect.
It this is the case, then you may need to check for firmware updates for the modem.
There have been other instances of this type of behavior with Leopard, especially with 10.5.2.
Most were solved up a firmware update to the modem.

HT1807 got an unlocked iphone 4s bt it asks for activation required via a wifi or mobile network each time i put a new sim. wat if i put in a sim which doesnt have 3g and i dnt have any wifi around me? how do i activate it then?

I am living in uk at the moment and i have an unlocked iphone 4s. Each time i put a new sim in it a message appears saying ''Activation Required''. When i slide the unlock bar it asks to choose a wifi network or a mobile data network. So far this hasnt been a problem coz i always found a wifi network around me or the mobile data network worked fine. Now the problem is I am moving back to my country Bangladesh in couple of days. And back there wifi isnt a very available thingie. And mobile data network is very hard to connect. So if i put on a Bangladeshi mobile service sim in my phone how do i activate it without the wifi or mobile data network? Please some help asap would be much appreciated.

Hi Allan,
Sorry for the rant up there.. Thanks for your quick response. I couldn't get to an Apple store and can't order anything from the States that contains Lithium ION batteries -- no U.S. Postal Services will deliver these to us anymore. Target sold this to me as an unactivated Sprint phone. I never activated it through Sprint in the States and just took it to Germany with me. I updated to vs.6.0 via ITunes and without the Sprint SIM Card installed. The IPhone is now accessible (Apps, Settings, etc., to be able to check firmware, et al., settings. However, I can't tell if it's unlocked (since I upgraded the version without the Sprint SIM Card installed) until I go to the local cell phone shop and stuff in a BASE (provider) SIM card and test it out. Is there a way to tell whether or not the phone is unlocked without a SIM card in it? I don't think there is....

Need render process to run each time form is opened.

I need my SQL queries to run each time the form is opened. This is whether the form is opened by the original user, an approver in workspace, or when someone opens a form (possibly rejected) via an attachment in e-mail. It appears that the processes for "Render" seem only to run when the form is originally opened by the end user. Can anyone help in explaining how to get the form to run the render processes (and other processes) each time the form is opened, no matter how it is opened?
Thanks in advance.
Joseph Doggie.

For those who get here from a Google search, I think one has to make a WSDL for the process. This is a complicated topic, however.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
