Would something like this offer the same features as an AirPort Extreme at a lower price? http://www.usr.com/products/networki...es&sku=USR5461 Would the printer sharing confi…

Range and performance depend on so many different variables that it is impossible to say which one works better in all cases. I would look for a device that offers external, high-…

how do i add an access point? i'm moving into a 5 bedroom, 2 story house. i'd like to be able to walk aorund the house and at any point have my macbook function with a nice conn…

Adding an access point is as simple as pluging it into a LAN port on a wired router. You still have to set up the access point, but you do that via the network. And most likely y…

aah i got ya, i thought "access point" meant something else.

Access point means only the wireless connection between your wired network and your wireless network; it is different from a "wireless bridge" or "game adapter" because those two d…

There are faster speeds offered through two techniques: proprietary "speed boost" systems and "pre-N" technologies. The proprietary systems work ok, but both your wireless router/…

i see more expensive wireless access points out there. would it even be worth it to get a better one? if so what is a really good one around 120 dollars?

So, my beautiful new MacBook showed up on my doorstep yesterday. Happily I unwrapped it (amazing how Apple can even make their packing styrofoam look cool) but I was immediately b…

Need more info: network settings, particularly your router's security settings, are probably the culprit. Using WEP? That is a bit of a pain when adding a Mac to an existing netw…

So you've got access to your wireless LAN, but the internet doesn't work through the MBP? That seems really odd to me, I can't imagine what settings on the Mac would prevent intern…

Thanks for the suggestions and offers for help! I accidentally came across the solution. I simply needed to change the "Channel" setting on my linksys router from channel 6 to ch…

It could easily have been an interference issue; just about EVERY new wireless access point/router comes out of the box set for channels 6 or 7, and not many people do anything but…

Hi all, The usual SOP with the "store" has been "New Music Tuesdays" but, for the last two weeks, at least, the "Just Added" list has been lagging its updates a few days. What's …

everytime I try and connect my Nano to a Win XP computer to use the hard disk functions for files, I get a message saying that the disk needs to be formated. It then gives me the …

Its formatted for mac. It has to be formatted for windows in order for windows xp to read it. If you format it FAT for windows, both computers should be able to read and write.

Gir- what do you mean by "if you format it FAT for windows?"

And why would I need to? Shouldn't the iPod already be formated to work with the two systems? Just a little lost on this whole situation.

When the iPod is formatted on a Mac, it gets written with the OS X filesystem, which Windows can't read or write. When the iPod is formatted in Windows (as it's asking you to do),…

will it still work with itunes on the mac?

It worked fine on the iBook, iTunes and all. I formated it like said to FAT32 on the XP box. I then got a B&W battery image with (!) in triangle on the nano screen. I remove…

This is really getting stupid. I managed to restore the software on the Nano. When I restore the factory settings on the mac, it asks to be formated on the XP. When restore on X…

You need to set the iPod up on the Windows PC, using the supplied iPod Software Updater (or even better, the latest iPod Software Updater downloaded from the iPod + iTunes section…

analogika That seemed to have fixed it. It now works well with both platforms. Thanks for the walk through on this. I am a little dumber than I thought.
