Help requested :-)
Malcolm McCallum Like Houston I have another problem I could use some help on . I have the latest apple TV and have had it working as it was designed to do but it was a bit flaky. with dropouts and I am fairly certain it is lack of signal strength. I have moved metal objects around the unit but still cannot get it working reliably. I know I can take a ethernet cable to it but feel I am past crawling through the roof.what other options are there in upping the signal strength?

Thanks Pete will give an extender a try when i can get into town.

Either an Airport Express in extender mode (which I have) for the children's end of the house or a purpose made extender - I'm sure Apple makes them but also Belkin, Netgear et al make them too. These are simple plugins to a wall power point. I went with an Ethernet connection for my AppleTV from the outset and it has always been good service. Are you sure you have good data rate into your house? This can also be a limitation on video streaming if it is poor. Another option is to use data over power which basically uses your 240v electrical cabling in the house to carry data as well. Placing one of these next to the AppleTV might be a solution too.

Traditionally you would get record tracks from an LP to the computer by taking the audio output from your stereo system and connecting it into your computers audio in port. This has been well covered before, so I won't go into details except to note that the turntable output usually requires pre-amplification and equalisation up to line level to give the computer what it wants - which is why you would normally use the line-out socket of your amplifier/stereo system (rather than the direct turntable output). More recently, however, turntables have been produced aimed more at transferring to computers, including ones with USB ports. There are, however, different implementations of this. A couple of examples: 1) This turntable http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=GE4056 outputs an audio signal via either standard RCA plugs or via usb. With this approach you use a computer program (such as Audacity) to record the audio to your computer. In this case, the turntable has a Type B USB port and is connected to the computer via a standard Type A to Type B cable. 2) This turntable http://dicksmith.com.au/product/AE2836/ does audio to mp3 encoding within the turntable. The USB port would be a Type A port to allow you to insert a usb drive. The turntable also has line-out ports - so you could encode using your computer the traditional way. From what you say, your turntable has digital output by a USB Type A port - and so I believe it will have an onboard conversion to mp3 and will expect to see a USB storage device at the port - which it will write the mp3 file to. I would suggest: A) If you are happy with the mp3 output, as encoded by the turntable, then connect a usb drive to the turntable and encode away - you can always transfer them to your computer later. Unless your turntable has specific limits, you wouldn't need to use a thumb drive - you could use a more spacious USB hard drive (though I would suggest an externally-powered drive unless you know the turntable USB port can output enough power to run a portable HD) B) If you wish to have more control over the conversion (and provided your turntable has audio line-out and your computer has audio line-in) feed the audio to your computer and use suitable audio software to record/convert to your preferences (see previous WAMUG posts re suitable software). If you want a bit more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Host_and_Device_interface _receptacles gives a good run-down on various aspects of USB, including the different connector types and their use/purpose - you can see from their Cable plug table/matrix that a Type A to Type A cable is a non-standard configuration where: Non-standard existing for specific proprietary purposes, and not interoperable with USB-IF compliant equipment.

Re: router for VOIP??

Below is reply to Peter: Begin Quote: 26 November 2010 2:45PM Ronda Brown ro...@mac.com To: WAMUG wamug@wamug.org.au Re: Time Capsule and BoB Hi Peter, I was clearing our my Drafts Mailbox, and found I had started a reply to your query back in October :-( You have probably found all the answer by now, but I'll post what I was going to reply anyway. I don't think I would not recommend using BoB with a Time Capsule, I'll explain my reasons below. On 14/10/2010, at 9:28 AM, Crisp, Peter wrote: My ISP has a promotion on for their thing called BoB. I’m not quite sure what it is (VOIP I think) but I wondered if I ever went to one of these BoB things (and hence no longer a land line), whether the Time Capsule I have will port into this and all Mac wireless access will still be in through the Time Capsule. I'll first answer your query What is BoB? BoB’s an 802.11n router with an in-built ADSL2+ modem. To be specific, it’s a Belkin modem/router, with shared branding between iiNet and Belkin. Wireless support is in the 2.4GHz range only, and it’s a dual-radio router. Not a dual-band router. Instead of getting a 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio, you instead get two 2.4GHz radios, one of which is disabled by default. BoB’s also VoIP capable with PSTN passthrough, and up to two accounts can be configured, although only via one provider. Not surprisingly, iiNet would prefer that you choose it as the provider. BoB is only a 10/100 (100Mbps) LAN Ethernet …. NOT 1Gbps that Time Capsule has. BoB only uses 2.4GHz NOT 5GHz 1TB Time Capsule has a One Gigabit Ethernet WAN port for connecting a DSL or cable modem Three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for connecting computers or network devices USB port for connecting a USB printer or USB external hard drive 802.11n wireless Does anyone have this configuration and experiences please? I don't know of anyone using BoB with a Time Capsule. The only way I can see to get this working. Is to disable WiFi on BoB, and use the WiFi on the Time Capsule. Connect BoB to the Time Capsule’s Ethernet WAN port (set the TC to Bridge Mode so as not to get double NAT). And Use the Time Capsule Dual Band for all your wireless needs (turn the BoB wireless OFF). VoIP will / should still work when BoB wifi is turned off, VoIP does not run over wifi per se. /End Quote: - Cheers, Ronni On 02/01/2013, at 4:50 PM, Rosemary Spark arkaysp...@gmail.com wrote: We were considering getting VOIP but were wondering what kind of modem/router to get.

Mac Another suggestion in addition to all the others: Go to Firefox Preferences and click the Content Tab. Under Fonts Colors click the Advanced button next to the Font Size menu. You will see a menu called Minimum Font Size, and it's probably set to None at present, which means that Firefox is letting the CSS/HTML code of the page determine the font size. Change this value to something that works for you. I generally find that anything smaller than 10 starts to get a bit difficult on my 24 Mac. The point here is that regardless of what font size is specified in the code, Firefox will always display it at at least the size you specify in this setting.

Having worked in support for 5 different Apple resellers in Perth before moving to Curtin Uni 18 years ago as well as being *very* heavily involved in WAMUG and UMUC in the past, I know that there are a great number of honest and legit Mac people in WA who are outside the sphere of influence of WAMUG who we should expect the best of rather than the worst. Can't we at least presume them innocent until proven guilty? (reading Craig's response on Whirlpool it seems quite informative and appropriate to me). I also think the Mac market in Perth is big enough to support new blood with the increasing interest in all things Apple - particularly as far as smaller Mac-knowledgeable shopfront retail south of the river is concerned - Daniel for example doesn't address the shopfront retail market. Heck, there are 2 million people in Perth, the vast majority of whom have never heard of WAMUG and who expect a shopfront to go to - isn't it better for them to have an alternative to the big impersonal Myers and JB HiFi box movers? Otherwise we are in danger of appearing very insular and inward focused and end up scaring off others who might otherwise have participated. Come on guys, can't we be a bit more welcoming and appreciative of getting more choice in the Mac World?

Used the one I already downloaded. Mac On 26/05/2009, at 12:18 PM, Denise Williams wrote: Hi Mac That's a relief! Did you manage to download the software easily or were you able to get the scanner going with the version you had already downloaded? Oh well. It was nice to share our combined fumbling-around-efforts! I'll let you know when I might need it back. If possible by Friday 5th June - I come to Floreat every Fri morning. Will let you know.

I bought it from Harvey Norman 2 years ago and it was the same model they were using in-store for scanning stuff for customers.. It will only do 4 slides at a time. Very easy to use I imagine the software is downloadable (although I probably have a disc). Uses a USB port. You're welcome to borrow it as I use it rarely.
