    Easy way to set up a remote connection?

    My mom just bought an iMac yesterday, but feels pretty clueless. I'm going to get her a good newbie book when I find one, but prior to that I'd like to show her the very basics. Since I live far away from her and I've just heard about "remote controlling" computers I thought this might be the...

    Empty folder until new item is added

    Glad to see I wasn't just imagining things ;) Yes, Stuffit Expander may be one source of the problem, but that doesn't explain why the contents of my mobile phone also showed up with completely empty folders until I added something to them. I had to do this with every folder (and sub-folder I...

    Empty folder until new item is added

    Here's a strange problem.... When decompressing a downloaded file (ZIP, GZIP etc.) the folder shows up as empty on my Mac, which I find very strange. However, if I add an item to that folder all of a sudden I see lots of other items there as well, showing that the folder indeed wasn't empty...

    Networked printer setup via router

    Thanks for clearing up a few things. I've had a look at the printer properties on my Windows PC and regarding the port it says: Surecom_1 (Canon S500_192.168.1.1) So it looks like the IP address is indeed 192.168.1.1 ...something I seem to have confirmed yet again when I press the "port...

    Networked printer setup via router

    The documentation that came with the router only explains the routing part. There is no explanation on how to set up the printer-server, but I'll continue to search for more information. I have no idea how I can figure out the IP address of the printer-server. I just assumed that 192.168.1.1 was...

    Networked printer setup via router

    Choice no. 3 is out of the question ;) so.... I've downloaded gutenprint-5.0.0.U.dmg from here and installed it, then configured the printer setup, but still getting nowhere. Whenever I try to print the print-monitor seems to display that everything is working fine, but after a few seconds it...

    Networked printer setup via router

    I don't understand. That's a Linux related website. But knowing that Mac OS X is in fact UNIX that could make sense. So are you saying I need to install additional software to make it work with the printer server function in the router? Is this some sort of complicated and time consuming...

    Networked printer setup via router

    I've just bought a broadband router with a built-in USB printer server (Surecom EP-4904AX) with the intent of sharing my internet connection between a Windows PC and my Mac. The internet connection works perfectly without any configuration, but I'm having problems with the printer sharing...
