I've just noticed that the clock on my imac is suddenly running about 20 seconds fast. There was a huge electrical blip yesterday over half the county but I do have a spike protector and everything else seems ok, though there are some odd things happening when I'm browsing the net. I've...

Hi Eric, Thanks for the response. Teh cds worked fine in the other iMacs. I just tried a dvd and that worked so I tried the cd again and that worked this time. Go figure! It's new, so maybe it was just being tempramental on first try. I actually came back here to ask the thread to be...

I've borrowed a g4 12" iBook and I've burned some cds with text files on, but everytime I put them in the slot the iBook ejects them (after a lot of noise). They work fine in both of my iMacs Any ideas? I really need to use it BTW!

Hi Satcomer, I did get in (luckily I still had the instruction book with the default passwords). How would I stop people piggybacking off my bandwidth? Would it be via the router or somewhere else? And how would I be able to make sure my laptop and daughter's imac can connect? I'm still...

Quick update: Rather bizaarely, Mini-me's imac is now connected to the internet and fully functioning :D I have no idea what I did or why it has started working, but I told her it was because she had tidies her room and all the mess was interfering with the signal. I don't *think* she...

OK, I have tried getting the imac's settings to be the same as the ibook's (which is on osx.10.4.4). They are different and I don't seem to be able to change them. But on internet connect, the signal bar on the ibook is full, but on the imac it's only about 4/5ths full. Maybe a problem with...

OK, I [poked around at the AP card and it seemed ok. I turned it on and tried typing my router IP address into the network TC/IP pane on her mac and then went to the airport pane and tried turning it on and voila! It connected! Well, I say connected, bit more like the airport symbol in the...

I have the same problem with firefox. It says the pop up has been blocked but 6 times out of 10 it pops up anyway. I guess I'll just have to stop watching porn :p

Hi there! I'm back :) Thanks for your kind message. Anyhow, I'm now 'in' I have a window with a side menu with 'status', 'configuration' and 'admin privilege' with a whole load of stuff underneath each heading. However... I borrowed an ibook from work which has AP and it connects...

Satcomer, please check your PMs

Oh joy! I typed in the router IP address and I got a username and password window for "home gateway". I tried my computer password and username etc but no luck :( On the plus side, it may mean it's still working?

Hi Satcomer :) If it helps the router is an 'eTec wireless ADSL router'. that is connected to my phone line and via ethernet cable to my imac (10.3.9). The arial is well connected and all the wires are in securely and the lights flash. Lu's mac is running 10.2.8 and she has an airport card...

Huh? ermmmm I don't know! Told you I was rubbish at this! My computer is connected to the router by an ethernet cable. The ethernet box/router thingie has an arial that sends the signal (I am guessing here!) to my daughter's mac in her room. My daughter has the airport card installed...

Hope this is in the right place. I've got a G4 imac connected OK via ethernet and my daughter has an oldfashioned G3 imac which is supposed to be connected via airport, only it isn't now. It just stopped working. Thing is, the guy who set my system up has gone over to corporate work only...

...and I'm still waiting for the IT (or should that be PC?) guy. A weird thing happened on thursday. I thought I'd try connecting it to the ethernet via the cable we use for the emacs, but I noticed that it had an airport signal. I got the others out to make sure that I hadn't got them mixed...

Hi Zammy-Sam, They are connecting to a netgear wireless access point. the IT tec says all the settings are the same on all three and gave the old "I thought these were supposed to be better than PCs bit". I can't fiddle with the router because I don't have any passwords and I don't know what...

Cheers, I hadn't thought about trying it via the ethernet. I'll check that when I get chance. I reckon that I could change the card given the instructions you linked if that*is the problem. So you think that if it works via the internet then it is the airport card? Not the aerial/...

Hope this is in the right place! I have 3 powerbooks on an airport connection, but one is no longer working properly. It says it is turned on, but it isn't receiving the signal or connecting to the server. It has been configuered identically to the other two. I'm thinking it's either a...

Thank you all! I was looking at the LaCie drives being a sucker for looks, but if they are noisy then I'll maybe skip them. The icecube looks good, but I am a complete techno dunce and would probably mess up fitting a drive into it. I'll look into the western digital drives and see if they...

OK, firewire it is, but which one? I mean are there any really crap ones out there I should avoid?
