Hi mate, you posted that you had the same wifi issue after loading osx lion.
I have managed to fix mine and it has been good for a few days now, if you want details then here is a link.

Yep, but could've done with a bit more on the 845 to see other options.
Is the Apple unit connected wirelessly or tethered with an RJ45 Cat 5 into the Netgear?
From the above, I'd disable the DHCP on the 845, hook up the Apple on one of the ports (WAN) of the Netgear, then set the Apple unit to distribute static IP addresses from .3-.8 - it'll be .2
You'd then marry the MAC of each device to an IP address.
DNS can be filled in with the same addresses in the 845's there - those are Virgin's, aren't they?
Might be a case of having you email me more of the gear's setting panels so I can get a full feel on what you've to work with.
Okay, you can remove those now.
I've already tried disabling dhcp on the netgear and enabling on the airport. That's what buggered up my network in the first place. The airport is tethered via Ethernet to (wan) the netgear. Is the Apple unit connected wirelessly or tethered with an RJ45 Cat 5 into the Netgear?

Disabling and enabling will result in confusion unless you restart all devices afterwards.sinizter said:

Drag the folder to the sidebar.
When the drive is disconnected and reconnected, the folder is no longer in the favorites.Just tried it with an external FW drive partition, and the internal's partition - both times the folder dragged over, disappeared and that was the end of it.
No doubt in Terminal there's a way to do it, or an app is out there that allows you do it, but I've no idea what they are - if that's the case.
Try searching Google and see if there is anything mentioned/offered.

You can't - folders in favourites are only persistent if they reside on the main drive, not removable drives/media.

Thanks for taking the time to try some stuff out.Just tried it with an external FW drive partition, and the internal's partition - both times the folder dragged over, disappeared and that was the end of it.

I have been through Google, with no real luck.
I am currently looking for scripts of some sort which could autorun when the relevant drive is inserted, linking the required folder to Favorites tab.
My macmini is always on. Currently it has one user (me) with iTunes running under my iTunes account.
If I set up another user (gf) and 'fast user switch' so both users are active and have iTunes with her account running will both iTunes simultaneously work?
Ie will they both broadcast their share libraries so we can both stream/wirelessly sync at the same time? Or will it just be the 'active user' for whom it works? I ask this as I've been querying the interweb and it seems as though you can screen share into a non active user in lion, so I'm wondering if all the background services of the non active user will still work.
The main reason Is ios5 wifi syncing. It takes forever compared to USB, but it is convenient to have the device plugged in and syncs with the always on server overnight.
I hope this makes sense
Thanks for your help

Ok plan b
Is it possible to have one mac running 24/7.
On that mac, authorise it to play my music and gf music both using separate iTunes accounts.
It will only be streaming my music through homesharing logged into iTunes on my account.
Enable my iPhone to wifi sync to my iTunes music and allow gf's iPhone to sync wifi to her iTunes stuff (on the same mac on the same user account with no user interaction - ie, don't need to change user, libraries etc
Using iCloud all purchased music syncs with both accounts - I don't think this will work as you can only have one iCloud logged in at once?

Ok, just had a thought.
How about running another copy of lion with gf as a user in a virtual machine?
Have all her iTunes/library etc and homesharing turned on.
Would that one physical machine with two osx lions broadcast both shared libraries and wifi sync both and maintain sync with iCloud?
