"Xmarks for Safari" the paid version will keep iOS and OS X bookmarks in synch. Don't know if there's a Windows version. http://www.xmarks.com >

Gurus,
I have a unibody mbpro, 2009, purchased 2010. Using Snow Leopard. Can I
purchase Pages separate from IWork? Will it work?
Thanks

You will buy with App Store? I remember when a friend bought the MBP 2010, he purchased the iWork (CD) but i guess, you will only can buy separately in the App Store.

Here are the system requirements for iWork:
https://www.
You can buy the components of iWork for $20 at the Apple App Store. Here's a link to Pages at the Apple Store. Note the "Buy Now" button at the upper right:
http://www.apple.
It takes you to the Apple Store. You need OS X 10.6.6 to be able to use the App Store app.
So I think you should be fine.

This is a reality check:
It seems to me that with my older iPhone 4s, which also maybe had at the time an earlier iOS, iTunes would "see" the iPhone if it was anywhere in the vicinity. I have noticed that with my current iPhone 5 and iOS 6.0.2, I have to plug the iPhone into the computer for iTunes to find it.
I have wi-fi synch turned on in the iPhone Settings, where it says it will synch over wifi if the Phone is connected to power. Still when I connect the phone to power, it tries to synch but can't find the iMac (running Lion) even when the phone is sitting right next to the computer.
Is this expected behavior? Do I have to have Mountain Lion for wifi synch to work? Or am I missing something else? What IS wifi synch?

I've just bought a security camera system for my home. Its DVR has an ethernet port for connecting to my router so I can monitor the cameras on my MacBook when I'm away from home. The Airport is an old, Apple Airport Extreme (that looks like a white Frisbee). It has 2 ports with what look like ethernet connections. I have one of them going to my cable company box and the other goes to my internet enabled TV.
So, can I add a splitter of some sort to effectively add another ethernet port so I can connect my security camera system to the Airport? If not, what else can I do to solve this problem.
And thank you.

From one of the outputs of the Airport Extreme, run an Ethernet cable
to a hub or switch. They can be found in 2, 4, 5, 8, or more port

If you have a router with limited ethernet ports you can easily extend
those with a *switch*. Note that this seems a vague term but has an exact
meaning in networking. Netgear are a well known maker of these.
Otto
Are you sure the AirPort has only one LAN port, though? I thought they all
had 3 (plus the WAN port, of course).

Howdy.
1. Check your Cable Modem for extra Ethernet ports.
2. Check your Cable Modem specs to see what speed the extra Ethernet
ports operate at.
10BaseT speed? slowest
100BaseT speed? faster aka Fast Ethernet
1000BaseT speed? fastest aka Gigabit Ethernet
These Ethernet ports are all the same RJ45 type port but run at
different speeds.
The speed of Ethernet ports needs to be considered when
buying/installing Ethernet cables. An Ethernet cable rated at Cat 5e
(Category 5e) is rated to work at all three speeds while a cable rated
at Cat 3 only works on slower speeds.
3. The AirPort Extreme ports are:
a. Ethernet WAN port aka an RJ45 port. To connect to a cable modem.
b. Ethernet LAN port aka an RJ45 port. To connect to other Ethernet
devices such as an Ethernet switch.
c. Internal Modem port aka an RJ11 telephone jack for a connection to
a phone line.
d. USB port.
4. Ethernet Switch. Get a small Ethernet Switch. Be sure to get an
Ethernet "Switch" and NOT an Ethernet Hub. They look the same but work
differently. Switch is better.
I tend to prefer the Netgear brand and have 3 in my house and they have
been reliable. You can buy these in different sizes from 4 ports on up
to many ports.
Connect the new Ethernet Switch to an Ethernet port on your cable
modem/router (if it has Ethernet ports). Or, connect it to the Apple
AirPort Extreme Ethernet LAN port.
You could connect the camera system to the Ethernet LAN port on the
AirPort Extreme but you would then be out of Ethernet ports. Getting
an Ethernet Switch gives you extra ports for all kinds of future use.
5. Connecting this stuff is beyond simple and easy and normally no
configuration is required. The harder part is learning to match
Ethernet port speeds so they all match and this gives you the best
speed available.
For example, in my house I have a lot of Ethernet cable in conduit to
different rooms and it's all rated for Cat 5e speed. Now also ALL of
the Ethernet ports on my FiOS fiber optic router, on two Ethernet
switches, on all Macs, and on a NAS RAID drive run at the 1000BaseT
speed (which needs the Cat 5e type cable) AND all of the short 12 and
15 inch long Ethernet patch cords to connect stuff is also Cat 5e.

Tammy, I'm amazed no one has answered this yet. "404" may be one of the first html (the structured language that is used to create web pages and now often email messages that include graphics and formatting) result codes to make the leap from the arcane world of computer shorthand to the argot of the young professional. If you try to navigate to a web page and the page displays "404" that means there is no such address. It can mean you typed just one character wrong in the address, or that whomever gave you the link (URL address) did so, or that the page no longer exists, or many other variations on that theme.
In ordinary discourse "404" has come to mean "there&#
