Hi,

I have the 2 years old imac and I just bought a powerbook with the airport extrem. I have 2 questions:

- How can I use my printer with both of the computers without unplug one

- How can I transfer my adress book, my safari bookmarks...



Thank you very much

severine

    plug your printer into the usb port on your airport. to move address book info, go into address book and do file>back up database. then move that back up file and "revert to database back up" on the 2nd machine.

    concerning safari bookmarks:

    go to ~library (the library, you'll see in your home directory).

    There you'll find a folder called "safari". inside this folder,

    there is a file called "Bookmarks.plist". this is the file you

    looking for. copy/paste thhis file into the desired ~library/safari folder.

    When I plug my printer to the airport my imac is connected to the printer so it's not working. What should I do?
