Going wireless at home?

by Carrie

Jun 24, 2008

My hubby and I are both have laptops through school/work that are capable of being wireless for internet (while at school). What does it take to be wireless at home? Do we go through our service provider? Can we both be on the internet at the same time if we get wireless? What about people who live in the neighborhood - can they get on as well? ...See More

len It's pretty easy.

Basically you plug in the router to both the outlet and your network.

You will want to look at the directions in the manual to configure the security.

Linksys lets you do it from your web-browser. It will tell to the IP address (this is a bunch of numbers like 123.12.12.001) of your router. You type t...See More

East End Long Islander I decided to go wireless when I had to reposition my modem and router on the 1st floor of my house, so I could use my laptop on the 2nd floor and basement when I felt like it. My desktop is on the 2nd floor, so it's now wireless, too.

I use Optimum Online (Cablevision) and they came and set it all up for me, on a promotion deal, a while ag...See More

Office 2008 for Mac

by cs

Jun 30, 2008

Not happy w/ it. In Word, documents save as .DOCX. I know that I can choose to save it as a .doc but I wonder what Microsoft was thinking making the default method of saving only compatible with other people who have upgraded to Office 2008. GRRR!

Whats going on with sitesforteachers.com ?

by Webber

Jul 6, 2008

Someone is spamming sitesforteachers.com , so there's lots of junk on it now. At least at the top of the page. Its a shame because it used to link to good sites.

What are other good sites for teachers? Besides this one, of course!

iMovie HD compression question

by Liz/AK

Jul 14, 2008

Back in May I created a slideshow using iMovie HD of pictures of the students throughout the year. I also included songs that I purchased from iTunes as the background music. The movie will play fine in iMovie, but will then stall when trying to compress. At a certain point during the compression, it will ask me for my password for iTunes, I can th...See More

Neal (M) To share. (compress for web). Or save as an archive first (which "finalizes" all the resources).

You are running the last version of iMovie HD (6.0.3)? All updates to Quicktime? and OS?

How much free space do you have on your HD? How much RAM? What OS are you using? (All these can affect compressing)

It's been a while since I used iMovie HD - so I can't get any other info. and Apple's Support servers are slow this a.m.. Have you tried to export as a Quicktime movie before sharring? Movie HD System Requirements

* Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G4, G5, or Intel Core processor * 256 MB of RAM (512 MB recommended) * Mac OS X 10.3.9 or Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later; Mac OS X v10.4.4 required for iMovie themes, real-time effects, and audio effects * High-definition video (HDV) requires 1GHz G4 or faster and a minimum of 512MB of RAM * iTunes 6.0.2 or later and QuickTime 7.0.4 (included with iLife ’06) or later * To use all the iMovie HD 6 features (like themes and "real time" effects) a Quartz Extreme compatible graphics card is required.

Post some more details and I'll see what else I can come up with.

Text selection tips

by Greg

Jul 15, 2008

I thought this was a good little article for people who have to select a lot of text.

In a nutshell, double click and drag to select words, triple-click and drag to select paragraphs.

The article and the comments below it give more details and suggestions.

Thoroughly cleaning keyboards...

Does anyone know of a great place that describes how to clean a nasty keyboard? Or... directions on how to do it successfully? No one is going to touch that job but me. I don't have the money it would take some one to do it. (I have two flat panels in a "hands-on" Kindergarten class. I want to clean them up, then get covers for them. Thanks!

Neal The kind for nylons or lacy undies, then put them in the Dishwasher do not dry with heat.

Unplug the keyboard and use canned air first and/or a damp but not dripping dishsoapy cloth for sticky spots. Dry with a towel.

Steps to deleting "recent items" in AppleWorks

by K. Fair

Jul 25, 2008

Would someone be so kind as to take me through the steps to deleting "recent items" in AppleWorks? I have a massive folder of "recent" items that I could get rid of so the application doesn't have the burden of saving and opening them up each time. Thanks so much!
