    iPhone 5/iOS 6 and wifi - a failure to connect.

    Well, it's a Netgear WGR614 v6 operating in g-only mode with WPA-PSK security enabled AND I'm using MAC address filtering. It's set to a single channel, too. The operating frequency is shown in the documentation as 2.4-2.5 GHz. Does that info help you at all?

    iPhone 5/iOS 6 and wifi - a failure to connect.

    My new iphone 5 seems to be working perfectly...with one curious and frustrating exception - it won't connect to my home wifi network. I can connect to OTHER wifi networks - at home, at Starbucks - but not my HOME network. Now, I AM using Access Control on my Netgear router but I added the...

    HOW TO: Create a form from an existing Word doc

    I have a Word document which was designed originally to be printed and filled out by hand. Now I need to change it into a Word form which can be filled out digitally. I'd ideally like to just place the form controls within the current document in order to simplify retaining the current look/feel...

    InDesign: What are these object outlines that don't go away?

    I've been using Illustrator's more intuitive (for me, at least) tools to play with letterforms that will then go into InDesign. When I copy/paste the forms into InDesign, though, I see these object outlines almost as though the object is selected...but they don't go away. You can see the...

    HELP: Transferring recorded songs from Arius YDP-S31 to Mac

    Hmm. Since I don't have the instrument in front of me, I've been working under the assumption that the memory wasn't on a card but, rather, was built in. I'll have to check on that since, obviously, that could simplify things greatly. Is .smf really the format for the recorded audio files? Or...

    HELP: Transferring recorded songs from Arius YDP-S31 to Mac

    A friend of mine has had a Yamaha Arius YDP-S31 for a little while. His wife wanted to record some music to send to a relative who needed some cheering up so she recorded it to the tiny little internal memory built into the keyboard but we haven't been able to figure out a way to get that...

    HELP: Character Viewer opens every time an app needs admin access

    It's a map of less common and non-standard text (and text-like) characters that you can use to get those characters into a document you're working on. Go into your System Preferences > Language & Text. Under the 'Input Sources' tab is a checkbox for 'Keyboard & Character Viewer' - if you tick...

    HELP: Character Viewer opens every time an app needs admin access

    It's the weirdest thing. I always use a non-admin account for my day-to-day work to safeguard against any unauthorized system activity. So if I need to do an install, for example, I'll go through the Authorization dialogue...inputting my admin password only on a case-by-case basis. Of...

    How to convert drm-protected divx video for viewing when offline?

    I have Handbrake and tried it. Looks like it's working but it takes forever and when it's finally done the resulting file is a mess - the audio is usually fine but the video is completely scrambled. iVI, on the other hand, is a new one to me. Guess I could give it a shot. :-) Thanks.

    How to convert drm-protected divx video for viewing when offline?

    Okay, I have a DRM-protected DIVX version of Batman Begins. It only plays in the DIVX player and if I want to watch it I need to be connected to the net so the player can confirm that I have the right to view it, I guess. I'm going to be on a flight in the near future where I won't have...

    Slideshow screensaver - "selected folder contains no pictures"

    Yeah, that's essentially exactly what I did (only her operating system is Tiger since her Mac's a PowerPC). In Tiger, there was no '+' button but there IS a choice at the bottom of the list of screensavers to "Pick a folder" (or something to that effect). I selected the folder on the external...

    Slideshow screensaver - "selected folder contains no pictures"

    My wife is still using an ancient G4 desktop machine with a paltry 20GB hard drive. Our financial situation's a bit rough right now so instead of buying a new computer she just wants more room for her files. In order to give her (a LOT) more space, I purchased an inexpensive external Seagate...

    CS2 on Snow Leopard

    I'm currently running Adobe's CS2 suite on my Snow Leopard Macbook Pro and it...mostly...runs alright. I'd love to upgrade, of course, but my current income situation and reliance on savings make that a fiscally uncomfortable option at the moment. So I have a couple questions. [My specs...

    ? Bang for the buck NAS RAID ?

    I'm looking for advice/recommendations for inexpensive NAS RAID units because I have absolutely no experience with them. I've been wanting to add one to my network for a while now but the costs (for RAID-5 capable units, particularly) have been pretty far north of what I can afford at this...

    Dangers of booting from external drive?

    Thanks - very reassuring. I've actually already got several accounts set up - each with it's own password. There's the admin account, of course, and I never log into that one unless absolutely necessary. There's my day-to-day account - the one I log into and use for getting work done - and I...

    Dangers of booting from external drive?

    Specifically, I'm considering a freelance design gig for which the client supplies an external firewire drive with a) a bootable system, b) a more recent version of the Adobe Suite than I own (necessary - his files are all in the more recent version), c) all of the project files, and d) Suitcase...

    Trouble copy/pasting art into iTunes

    No, there's nothing at all special about them. I create the art, select all and copy to the clipboard. The clipboard doesn't support layers or clipping paths or alpha channels or any like that...and I'm doing everything in 8-bit RGB. On top of it all is the fact that I've been doing this for...

    Trouble copy/pasting art into iTunes

    Copy/pasting from Photoshop into Graphic Converter worked just fine. The other way 'round, too. It's only pasting into iTunes that's giving me fits. Not sure why I didn't think of what you just suggested but prompted by your comment I did just that - saved out a JPG and it dragged in without a...

    Trouble copy/pasting art into iTunes

    This is only happening some of the time...which makes it even more frustrating... Lately, when I try to copy/paste artwork into the Artwork tab of the info window for a movie in iTunes, more often than not the only thing visible after the paste operation is a tiny black dot in the middle of...
