I have 1 ethernet port which I share with my Netgear internet and my printer (Mac G4 via Asante talk). I keep switching the cords between printer and internet. Is there a easy solution ? Most of the time I have to reboot after switching ethernet wire.
View 4 RepliesI have a modem (Tilgin Vood 342) that came from the phone company which I use to connect my old desktop PC and my new MacBook Pro to the internet, through two separate ethernet cables. The modem has three ethernet ports and connects to the internet through an ethernet port in the wall. I want to buy an Airport Express in order to get wireless internet to my MacBook, but since my desktop PC can't receive wireless internet, I still need it to be plugged into the modem through a cable (I don't mind that). So my question is, can I use one of the modem ports for the Airport Express and another for the ethernet cable without there being a conflict?
I'm asking because I went to an electronics store and I was told that there might be a conflict and that I should buy an Airport Extreme or another router with ports in order for it to work. I would really prefer the Express because it's and it's the most I can pay for.
My network connection keeps switching to ethernet. When I open Network Utility, it shows the ethernet connected. I switch it to wifi and it keeps going back to ethernet.

So, I've bought a new house (well, a very old house), and I'm having some work done on it, which includes getting Cat-5 and other comm. wiring installed.
I was thinking of dispensing with phone wiring, since I imagine in 5-10 years phones (cat-3 wiring) will be irrelevant and we'll be on VOIP. Instead, I figured I could get each room wired for 2 or 3 cat-5 (ethernet) jacks. In the meantime, I would use an adapter so I could plug a phone into the ethernet jack. Then at the patch panel in the basement, I'd use the same jack, and wire the phones together.
1) Does that adapter exist? I think it would be an RJ11 to RJ45 adapter.
2) Any problems with this plan? Obviously I'd be careful about which jack is for which, because I imagine that the ring signal wouldn't be so good to send to a computer.
My Fire wire port on my IMAC 24 inch is not working now. I have tried switching cables, etc. This started when I had to have the hard drive replaced. The drives do work if connected by USB or FW 400.

I have a 15" mac book pro with 4G of ram and 320G of HD.
Due to the internal HD filling up, I have decide to install a new internal HD myself which will be with me in the next few days. Installing the HD I have no issues with its the loading up of the new HD that I�m a little unsure of.
Until a few days ago my time capsule was a 320G Western Digital fire wire 800, which has worked well but is now full, this coupled with the need to back up my girlfriends Mac book I decided to buy a Time Capsule, which I made the default. However it took 24hrs to back up 200G wirelessly and the girlfriends Mac book via Ethernet is not going much quicker (only 80G).
My question is this, when I have installed my new internal HD would it be better to restore from the external hard drive or from the time capsule bearing in mind it took nearly 24hs in the first instance?
I have a 15" PowerBook G4 1.33 Ghz and I discovered that the provided USB ports do not power such devices as portable hard drives or audio interfaces.
So I heard that you need a POWERED USB hub.
I get one, Plug it in. And the PowerBook still doesn't recognize my external hard drive.
My hard drive has two wires on the opposite side from the enclosure that connect to female USB ports. I run an extension cord from one of the males to the other USB port on the PowerBook which is said to work but that also does nothing.
I am thinking of using either superdupper or carbon copy cloner will my external drive be OK to boot up from it is as followsFreecom 1TB fire wire P/N 31252
i have been reading all the post regarding the bluetooth issues with the wireless keyboard and mouse. Now base on that, is it worthy getting the wireless KB and MM from apple, or should i get wire KB and MM?
View 13 Replies View RelatedI tried to re-apply the thermal paste myself but when it came to disconnecting the wire connectors from the logic board, 3 of the connectors came off completely from the logic board or has damaged the pins. (the battery connection, and two for the left fan)
I have a feeling that these three became brittle or weak from the heat that was generated from the laptop (hence i wanted to do the thermal paste mod). Or it's just my stupidity that these broke. But the others came off without a problem.
I am trying to test the coolant pumps on my g5 because one cpu is overheating and there are no coolant leaks, there are 2 Delphi pumps each with 4 wires, they are connected to a black 12 way plug. I am wondering if I can connect a 12v supply to the pumps to check that they function OK..

I was just wondering if any other macrumorsmembers have been in the situation where there's no wifi, no decent 3G, but ethernet ports available to use, but you don't have a computer handy? Would it be possible that you could create an ethernet cable one end, dock the other, and literally connect e.g. an iPhone into the ethernet? At my place of work, there's no signal (dodgy GPRS/flakey Edge), some wifi, but in halls of residence, you get 1 ethernet port, and you can't put a wireless router onto it. It would seem that it would be an interesting solution, if it was possible.

I have a problem with Disk Utility , when trying to format an external fire wire drive.
I cleaned out the drive and proceeded to erase it with zeros. After this Disk utility will not display the subdirectory or verify, repair, partition, erase the disk. The main disk name is still visible, but I cant access any functions.
Error message says input output error.
DiskWarrior will not help, as the original directory is beyond recovery.
I suppose that I have damaged the original directory, and now I would ask the honourable forum if there is any remedy for my actions?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'll be switching from a PC to a MAc, and it just dawned on me that there are a number of cookies on my computer which I would like to take with me. I find some cookies to be very valuable. Some sites, I want to remember me; such as, banking and some shopping sites. Also forums and other places which have passwords and can remember me, or can remember where I've been on the site. Is there anyway to take those along? My procedure is to copy everything I need to my external drive and then copying from there to the Mac. I don't think I'll have much of a problem finding out where things should be put; so, I'm not using any automatic migration assistance or plugging the two computers together.

Is this correct? can anyone shed some light on the situation?
When the MBPs came out with the dual graphics cards, people believed that they would be able to fast-switch between then. However, this is not the case; a logout-login is required to switch between the 9400M and 9600M GT on the MBPs. It was thought with the release of Snow Leopard this would be fixed.
So, has it been? will it be? Any word on using both graphics cards at the same time to boost performance?
did the way that you switch through open windows change in SL? usually I hit ` to switch through windows and shift ` to go backwards through the list. Now it seems though the window order isn't being followed correctly. Lets say i have 5 open windows starting at 1 hitting ` takes me to window 2 then 3 then 4 then 5 then 1. typing shift ` would take me to 5 then 4 then 3 then 2 then back to 1. Now though, under SL it seems not to follow that very simple design rather if I start at one and page through to say 3 then start again it jumps back to 1 then to 2 then to 3 and then finally to 4.
