Notes from Geneva:
Oct 17 2010: I am traveling in Europe and have VERY limited access to the Internet, so I haven't been adding to this site lately -- but it is still alive, and (I hope) well. If you have questions, you can still ask them, but it might take longer to get an answer. I hope others will help you, but if you have something urgent and no one else has answered, you can email me: geneva.shen@gmail.com
Dec 23 2010: I got back home very briefly, but am now in Hawaii. However, I now have good access and can spend more time adding to this site.

July 15 2011. I'm just hanging here in Port Angeles, keeping cool while the rest of the US swelters. Still updating this site regularly.
Oct 6 2011. Since writing last I have been to Mexico to see the dentist, and moved to another town in WA -- Port Orchard. And Steve Jobs died yesterday : (
Jan 16 2012. I have been adding to this wiki, but not that regularly. Just when I get reminded. I'm still working on my Dell Hackintoshes, and my new iPod Touch. They are replacing my MacBook for regular usage. So small & light.

I have an app, ..., "IP Address Menu," I started it up. Was asked if I want to display the apps icon in the toolbar. Then, after a time,the app's icon disapeared, ..., then, lately I decided I wanted to update the app, so, first I was asked to delete the app, IP Address Menu," before I install the update, but, I could not find the app on the desktop anywhere, so, I decided to and tried to delete the app from the finder, but, I could not as I was told that I could not delete the app as it was and is still running, so, now the app is still running out of site, and I now want to delete it for keeps but, I can't find it anywhere, where can I find IT, and delete it, after I shut it down+

In your Emails all but 1 or 2 links will not open.
A message says....."The URL is not syntactically valid"
I have this happen occasionally, but for some reason your links seem to be a real problem, I hope you have an answer cause I am stuck.

Thanks for your help.

Ball_Bearing Ipod touch wireless 3 Jul 21 2010, 6:11 AM EDT by AskGeneva
Thread started: Jul 7 2010, 2:07 PM EDT  Watch
I had a 2-Wire Wireless Router from Telus and our two Mac Laptops, two printers and an Ipod Touch worked very well. Always a good internet connection. The router was in the basement and the laptops and Ipod were upstairs. We use the 26 character WEP network security.
The 2-Wire Router failed and Telus sent us a new Siemens Gigaset 5BE router. The laptops and printers work pretty well wirelessly but the Ipod has great difficulty connecting to the new network router. Many times it says it cannot join the network. We have tried reseting the IPod and the router but it does not seem to help. The signal strength indicator on the Ipod shows usually the lowest bar sometimes two, very rarely three.
Is there a difference in signal strength between the 2-Wire router and the Siemens?
Is there a setting on the Siemens router that needs changing.
I contacted Telus about this problem and they basically said they don't support the Ipod and I should reset my router and select a different channel, which I did with no change.
