ssetting up a new ipod with a new macbook that will have three users. can each user use the same ipod and add through each users screens to the same single itunes file system? ha…

I just plugged in my new iPod, but under the video tab, the "Do Not Update Videos" tab is check-marked and I can't seem to uncheck it. I want to load some firefly on this thing an…

Ok...guess it righted itself...weird. nm

It thought "Oh you WANT to update videos... OK, do it!" These are very smart devices, but they get notional.

I have a new Nano that I got from that Back-to-School special. I'd like to keep it scratch free and have left the clear stickers on it, however, they are now starting to peel off. …

I have an invisible shield on my nano. It works just fine with my Nike+ armband. You don't have to worry about it peeling off.

Hi all I am trying to use my shiny new Intel iMac as a part-time web server. I couldn't get it to work and finally decided to call my ISP (Telus) to see if they were blocking port…

Common secondary ports are 81 or 8080, that I've seen and used.

Ok I'll give those a try. I know I'm going to need to configure Apache using terminal for the new port but I'm a total terminal newbie. If someone could give me keystroke by keyst…

Why would an ISP block THE PRIMARY WEB PORT? It doesn't make sense to me, unless they want you to use THEIR browser... This is odd as all get out.

It doesn't block outgoing requests only incoming.

Oh. Different issue, obviously. As noted previously, 81 and 8080 are commonly used alternates. There are also some dodges you can use through redirectors. However, if the ISP …

Oh absoulutely. I don't intend to open it to the general public. I only want to be able to access my music using iTunes Catalog at work when I am on midnight shift.

I have given up on this for now. I did manage to get Apache reconfigured to use a different port but no matter which port I choose I still can't see the default Apache web page. I …

Port forwarding is probably not enough. I'd use a DMZ instead; it exposes the computer to the Internet without ANY NAT manipulation. Give that a shot before you give up.

I figured if I played around with routers, firewalls and ports long enough I would have to eventually learn what a DMZ actually is because right now I have no clue lol. But now tha…

A "DMZ" is simply a LAN IP that the router doesn't touch; all traffic to and from it bypasses Network Address Translation, so it's like the machine is connected directly to the Int…

Thanks for all your help ghporter. I'm going to give it a shot setting up the DMZ. I'll report back with the results.

Well I did the DMZ thing and it's still a no go. I don't get stumped too often but I guess I'll have to accept that I won't be able to use my computer as a Web Server in any capaci…

Blocking incoming HTTP requests over 80 is a common thing...and ISPs obviously know that 81 and 8080 are commonly used as alternates, so Telus may be blocking those as well. Try a …

The reason is because my workplace doesn't broadcast the SSID for the wireless network.

Can't you just ask the IT department what the SSID is?

Asking is embarressing for geeks like me
