The home mac has the airport and I turned it on. there mac in the shop area and a router. the mac in the shop doesn't have the waves at the top of the screen, but it does have the setup application on it. what do I do now? :D

Eating an Apple is better for you than
Jumping out a Window.

Do you know what they call it Windows? Because it can drive you to throw the PC out the window.

Maybe run the setup?
How old are these computers? The Mac I have is from 2009 and I need to go to the orchard and get a new version of the operating system. This one is no longer supported. You might have to do the same.
Worse comes to worse, bring the Mac to the :rolleyes: Genius Bar :rolleyes:
:D

For calling us nerds I will charge double....

ok, I will pay you two dollars. :D

will the airport thing work with the router? :D

What for a MAC?

Come on Stretch, I need help here. :D

Ok, the shop imac has airport and it's turned on, what's next please? :)

I must be going soft (after all of those buy a mac comments you make)...

...if your shop mac is near to or next to the router plug a network cable between the two.

A network cable looks like this

plug one in the mac and the other end in the router. The mac should be able to connect to the internet (so long as the router is working). You can then try and download that airport bs so you can go wireless if you really want to.

OK for wireless

Your router will have a name and a pass phrase to allow connecting computers to access it.

What's your router called?

If you look back at the pictures posted for you - you need to read off the names listed on the mac screen as shown here

'Come on Geordie Shore will be on in a minute!

Vicky doesn't bang...

...well perhaps this time she will!

lynksys :confused:

Is that the only one listed?

I'm off to watch Geordie Shore!

See ya later - once you've got the broadcast name of the router and you've found the paper work with the pass phrase (sometimes written on the underside of the router) you should be good.
