Thanks for the advice everyone.
@Jim----My security is set to WPA2 Personal and yeah, just to be safe, I made it all numbers and lower case. If you can think of what you had to do with your password to fix the problem, that would sure help me a lot. I also have used Linksys routers for years...gotta be going on 10 years. Never had problems other than them dying faster than I'd care for them to.
I may just have to switch over to an Airport Extreme router as Fred suggested.
Thanks all.

One thing that often helps with network problems - after password
protecting the network on the router, did you power off the iPad and
then restart?

Mini Freezes

Hi folks. I've got an issue that's got me stymied.
I have an iMac 3.06, Intell Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, running OSX 10.7.4. The internal hard drive capacity is 500 GB, available free space is 125 GB.
It started with mini freezes of a second or so while using Safari (the newest version). I first thought it might be the flash files, installed new Adobe Flash player, cleaned out Flash caches,etc. No dice. Flushed every cache file I can find using search and Cocktail. Cleaned the desktop down to under 10mb.
I also get the blips listening to music, both iTunes and other format players. I get blips while composing this email. They're just a fraction of a second now mostly, sometimes two quick ones, but very irritating, nonetheless.
There are probably other things I did, but I can't recall right now.]The only thing I can think of is to repair the hard drive. Any ideas?

Run Activity Monitor (in your Applications/Utilities folder), and
click on the "%CPU header", and then click on the triangle in the %CPU
header so that things are ordered in that column from largest to
least. Make sure that All Processes is chosen in the drop down menu
at thte top of the window.
See what is running that is using the most CPU time. If it
has a really high number, this is likely to be what is causing your
slowdown.
If that isn't it, leave Activity Monitor open while you work, and
during one of the
times when your Mac has slowed to a crawl switch to Activity Monitor
and see if something is using up all of your processor's time.
Let us know what you find.

Randy,
Where in the Activity Monitor do you choose "All Processes"? I can't find it. Here's what I see:

I use this method, but I also use iStat Menus, so that whatever screen I'm on, I can just go to the menubar to see the same information.

No, I am saying
1. When I go to that site, I see an HTML5 video
2. When I either control-click or 2-finger trackpad click on it, one of my options is to download the video
3. The downloaded video is standard definition, and looks as it did when played in Safari.

1. In Safari go to the page with video.
2. Command+Option+A
3. look for the large MB file address.
4. Option+double click this address in the Active Window list.
5. Download begins.
The Hi Def file downloaded.
Appreciate you guy's patience.

Apparently after this thread was started, the HiDef file was removed
for a lower one. I found a better file at:
http://www.wimp.com/norwegianisl ands/
It's Activity window showed me 147MB video file.
Downloaded it by Option+double clicking.

I think this has been covered previously in the thread. In Windows, a "Domain Controller" is a server computer that "controls" the client computers - dishes out software and OS updates, assigns user privileges to the client machines, etc.
"Home" versions of Windows OS installations cannot be "domain" clients. However, Home versions of the OS can still log in to network services such as email (Exchange Server), document storage and distribution (SharePoint), etc., via web access if the Server computer is configured to permit it.

Works well in Messages app to send to other iDevices. They did not

Thanks Dan and Jim,
I think it was a case of softening of the leetle gray cells (I learned that neurologic tech speak from my husband). I misunderstood the "automatic login" dialogue box to require my name in order to ask for a password. Instead I should have clicked "Off" and it would not "automatically login" to my user name (duh). Maybe it's the rapid changes in weather. Works now as I want it to.
