When a computer tries to connect to your external IP address over the Internet, the AirPort Extreme doesn’t know what computer to send the connection to and discards the incoming traffic. You can allow traffic to come through the router by setting up port mapping, which tells the Apple router where to send the traffic.

However, experienced Apple and iTunes users are more likely to have other causes for this problem.

Decomposition is one of nature's dominant forces. Everything decomposes naturally, through bacteria, fungi, insects and other forces, including temperature, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.

While it is possible to graft an apple to a pear, it's not recommended. Grafting two species is a tricky business, and even successful grafts may be brittle or weak, eventually breaking under the weight of ripening fruit.
Grafted trees produce fruit earlier, mature faster and, because the nursery provides a proven rootstock, the grafted trees are often healthier than seed-grown trees. Grafting -- taking a section of one tree, called a scion, and splicing it into another -- has the most success when you graft two of the same species, such as pears to pears and apples to apples. A cross-species graft, however, is possible.
There are several different methods and tools used in the harvesting of apples and pears. The two fruits are similar enough that harvesting methods for one will also work for the other, including hand picking to massive harvester machines. Not all of these tools are suitable for every harvesting job, but every job has at least one corresponding tool.
Wooden apples might not grow on trees; but if you find one, consider yourself lucky. In Vermont, picking a wooden apple from a tree makes you the winner of an Apple iPod.

This annual contest is open to everyone except employees and family members of the sponsors, but the fun will be over by the end of apple harvest season in October so plan your vacation and get picking.

Stands of aromatic, deep-green Eastern red cedars (Juniperus virginiana) greeted the English settlers arriving at Roanoke Island in 1564. These 40- to 60-foot trees remain the most common conifers across the eastern United States. They provide pest-resistant lumber for fences, cabinets and cedar chests. Many wildlife species feed on their pungent berries. These attractive trees, however, are susceptible to the damaging cedar-apple rust fungus. They also pass the disease to nearby apple trees.
Introduced in 1989, Apple's Macintosh Portable offered more speed and power than many of the PC laptops that were on the market at the time. Weighing 16 lbs., the Macintosh Portable was a sales disappointment, primarily because consumers found it too hefty to carry around.

In a May 2006 article, "PC World" described the Macintosh Portable as one of the "25 worst technology products of all time."

Apple snail reproduction is a relatively easy process to encourage, largely because given the right circumstances, even a small community of apple snails can produce several clutches of eggs over the course of a few weeks. The most common place to find the apple snail egg clutches is just a few inches above aquarium water, though a few species, such as the rams horn apple snail, prefer to lay their eggs underwater. Regardless of species, it is important that the eggs remain moist throughout the gestation period, otherwise they may dry out. This is the single greatest factor in the…

The apps on Cydia do not have to pass through Apple's approvals process, and often offer functions that are otherwise prohibited by Apple's terms and conditions. Jailbreaking your iPhone can be achieved by visiting a website in the device's web browser that automatically installs Cydia, and the operating system changes that allow it to run. Jailbreaking your iPhone is entirely legal and safe, but does void the device's warranty with Apple.
