    Deleted Mac Mail account-need to retrieve important emails

    How can your messages be gone unless you affirmatively deleted them from your file system? My guess is that your messages remain where they have always been. Do this: Open your user Library folder. In Lion, this folder is hidden and must first be revealed. Locate the folder within ~/Library...

    Macbook won't connect to Wifi ; Not a router problem

    This sounds like a printer setup issue. My recent experience with HP printers is that they no longer "just work." In none of your posts do I read that you redid your printer setup after you changed your network. I suggest that you make sure that you have the latest driver for your HP Office Pro...

    Macbook won't connect to Wifi ; Not a router problem

    Routers don't filter MAC addresses on the whim of the router. MAC address filtering must be affirmatively enabled. If it is enabled, then only devices whose MAC addresses are entered into the router are allowed to connect. If your other devices connect through that router, then MAC address...

    No Internet connection IP address incorrect?

    Two things: You should not connect directly to the modem. You should have a router between your devices and your other modem. I'm guessing that your modem to a different device before your present connection to your computer. Surprise! You need to reset your modem. Power the modem down for...

    Download of a PDF file fails

    Two things: It is not nice to double-post. You created one thread on this topic. It is a gross violation of etiquette to create a second thread on the same subject. You created this second thread after I responded to your first. You cannot get help by avoiding answering questions that might...

    Running Web Browser on 2 different desktops

    I fail to see the problem. I often run multiple web browsers simultaneously. It ain't no big thing. If I can run Firefox and Safari simultaneously on a single Desktop, then certainly you can run them on two. Just do it. It might be useful for you to explain exactly what you want to accomplish...

    email problem

    When you access a service via the Web, then any problem on your end will always be there. Intermittent problems are almost always the exclusive domain of the server and its owners. In this case, that is Microsoft. There is absolutely positively nothing that anyone on this forum can do to fix a...

    Cable Modem--dilemma

    Is there a question here? If you purchase a new cable modem, then by your own figures your modem will pay for itself in 13 months in the case of the Motorola SURFboard SB6120 or 10 months in the case of the Motorola SURFboard SB6121. The tech is correct about speed so long as you restrict...
