Can connecting another computer to my network influence the connections of the other computers?
Q. I had two computers both connected to a wireless router. Yesterday I connected a third computer to the network and, although the connection goes through for this new computer, one of the original computers now says "Limited or no connectivity" and cannot connect to the Internet. Is it possible that the new computer is using up too much bandwidth and is therefore preventing the other computer from accessing the Internet?

How to transfer computer pictures to cell phone?
Q. I have a MacBook computer and I want my pictures that are on my computer to be on my Motorola Razr 2 v9. I have a memory card and a memory card adapter. When I put the card in the adapter, the computer recognizes it. And the pictures that I have on my phone can transfer to the computer with no problem. But the pictures on my computer won't transfer to my phone. All that shows up is a big red "x" on a black screen. Am I doing something wrong? The phone company is AT&T.

A. Your cell phone has an email address. It varies by carrier (calling their customer support would be a good idea). You can email the pictures from your computer to your cell phone's email address and you will receive the picture as a picture message on your cell phone. You will want to make sure that you compress the picture size so that your phone can get it. You will be charged for an incoming picture message (assuming you don't have a message plan).

Can you access a computer from the iPod touch without installing anything onto the computer?
Q. Ok so I have looked around a lot on this matter and I keep finding stuff like VNC (or VNSea) that allows you to access the computers on your WiFi network, but all of these require you to install something onto the computer itself. Is there a way to access the computer WITHOUT even touching the computer? Thanks in advance!

A. Set your iPod to manually manage music; But the good way is to transfer all existing songs/videos from your iPod back to your new computer and iTunes. Simply use this handy transfer program called Tansee iPod Transfer Many of my friends are using it for its easy and safe transfer. With just a few simple clicks, it will help you copy all videos/songs from iPod back to your selected folder on your new computer, and then you can easily add those files back to iTunes. More importantly, this won't overwrite any original files on your iPod. And all song titles are preserved. In this case, all songs/videos (both new and old) are on your iTunes library that you can syn with whenever you wish to without deleting any files. It even has step-by [cont.]

A. You should be able to use a usb drive which I think will work in safe mode. Usb drives are pretty cheap now so it's a good solution and you could use it later to backup files. Second option is to use a cross over cable and connect the two via a network connection but this is a lot more complicated.

If I connect my computer to a modem, can it disconnect other computers that are already connected?
Q. I recently got my new desktop computer connected to the main computer modem in the house. There was another desktop computer already connected to this modem and the owner of that computer is blaming me for his computer disconnecting. I thought that computer modems can connect more than one computer in the house! So is it really MY fault that this other person's computer has some connection problems?

A. Sorry to say.. you DID probably disconnect the other person. BUT.. you didn't do anything irrepairable or damaging...just interrupted their use. A modem is a "MOdulator, DEModulator" -- all it does is translate the digital signal used by desktop computer to the slightly different digital signal on the internet. It can not talk to multiple computers at once. It merely encodes and decodes the data for you. By plugging in your computer..and maybe turning the modem on/off..you reset it... and caused it to communicate with the Internet Provider and get a Internet Protocol address (IP) from the internet provider. This IP is used to communicate with the internet provider. The Modem can only request 1. SO by plugging your computer… [cont.]

What computer should I buy and which broadband provider should I use?
Q. I need to buy a computer and a laser printer, primarily for work. I work from home and do not need a laptop. I use the Internet, Excel and Word for work and that's about all. I do not store alot of information but I do need 20Gb or more for photos and music. I currently use an iMac and love it but it is being reclaimed by its owner at the end of October. The new computer and printer need to be as cheap as possible. What hardware best suits my needs and which is the best Broadband provider in the London area? Thanks in advance.

A. I would say get the iMac. If you do get a PC just stay away from cheap dells because they are just that CHEAP. Go with a Gateway or hp.

A. Things don't go this way my friend.. you never receive a single data packet frame from a network without confirming that you received this packet first, before the remote Host sends more data to you, that's one of the networking principles the processor speed is never considered, the problem nowadays that makes a CPU speed taken into consideration is the TYPE of applications you intend to use, flash players, java scripts...etc so whatever your processor speed was, even if it was an 80386, you can still connect to a network and receive data as much as your CPU can handle so neglect the word (faster) !
