Doesn't find wireless network automatically - 13 years ago

Hi There Macmini 2GHz Core2 duo, running 10.6.3 with EyeTV as a multimedia center hooked up to my TV .... and I love it I use it with the Apple remote, so no keyboard and mouse really close by. The problem is that when it wakes up it doesn't always find the wireless network. This is annoying since I also use my MBP as a "remote" when I need more control. So I have to find a mou

Word and Excel crash .... any ideas ? - 13 years ago

Hi There I'm using a Macbook 2 GHz core2 duo with 4 GB ram, always running the latest version of Office 2008, now 12.2.4 When I use large Word and Excel documents the applications crashes a lot. Usually when I save or paste lots of information. Any ideas how to avoid those crashes ? (besides the obvious ... don't save and paste!!) Martin

Re: Interesting article about Norway's control of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) - 13 years ago

In Norway, Sweden and Denmark you very seldom sue your doctor. Maybe because we have a low rate of lawyers per capita ..... or maybe because our doctors don't have a insane amount of insurances, because the population sue for just about anything. Martin

Re: Ipod is almost dead ... how to backup ? - 15 years ago

excactly ...... you turn off the auto sync if your HD is 40 GB. To be honest it's not my iPod ...... it's my PC friend that has no clue about computers, backing up etc. ...... I'm only Mac. I've told him that I will try to help him out ..... he helps me out with lawyer stuff. He has got the whole "why didn't you backup !!" story. Hopefully he is wiser now, when he might have to

Re: Ipod is almost dead ... how to backup ? - 15 years ago

Thank you voodoo ..... you got it. In a perfect world I would have all 45 GB of music on my laptop ..... that is not possible. So I have to rip all my CD's all over again ........ a very tedious job. Anyway ..... any solutions how to back up before restore ? or a FAT32 toolkit for mac (or PC) ? Martin

Hi There I have an old iPod .... 60 GB with color screen.

Re: Any Roomba users out there? Reviews? - 16 years ago

I love mine ........ I have a loft so it can roam the whole apartment on the max setting. It runs every other day. Since I have 2 cats there is always a lot of cat hair in the bin. The battery is now (after 2 years) really bad and I just ordered a new one. I clean the rollers and empty the bin and the filter every time. It cleans good .... not as good as my Miele. It recharges after i

Re: How to "lock" on a certain IP number on LAN - 16 years ago

Hmm, it's not happy. Must be the router, which belongs to my wife's workplace ..... hence I can't tweak it. The 2 AE's I can tweak ....... and the #1 AE won't change to "Share a range of IP addresses" it is stuck on "Share a single IP". The error message is "Sharing a range of DHCP addresses requires the base station to be configured using static IP adresses&quo

How to "lock" on a certain IP number on LAN - 16 years ago

Hi There Not sure how to ask this question. I have 1 router and 2 AE's ...... #2 AE is to extend the wireless network. I use EyeTV on a mac mini used as a media system. It's only doing Frontrow and EyeTV. EyeTV has this feature of publishing all the TV recordings so I can wirelessly on my MBP or iPhone access the TV recordings on the macmini. The adress is right now [10.0.1.2]

Any way to trick Frontrow ? - 16 years ago

Hi There I use a macmini as a dedicated mediacenter on my old school TV. I have tried Apple TV but it wasn't for me ....... no DVD and no EyeTV. Anyway, in the good old days I would put all my Movies in the Movies folder. I've got a lot of mpg and mov that and that way they would show up in frontrow .... but after a system update they don't show up anymore. Now they have to be working in iT

Re: How to sync iCal to web NOT using .mac ? - 16 years ago

How to sync iCal to web NOT using .mac ? - 16 years ago

Hi There The only useful feature that I could use from .mac is the iCal calendar on the web. Then my wife and my business partner can always see my crazy schedule online. I think .mac is to expensive if that's the only feature that I need. Is there a program out there that would imitate that feature for less money ? Martin

Re: Considering buying an EyeTV Hybrid, But... - 16 years ago

I've had a few different digital tuners ..... Hybrid, Diversity, Miglia TVmini, and now I'm settled on a Miglia Duo. I'm in Copenhagen, so no HD for me. My experience with these tuners are : Miglia makes better hardware (the tuners are more sensitive), and Elgato's EyeTV software is a MUST. Miglia and Elgato are not partners anymore, so the software you might have to buy seperatly. You shou
