Best connection for Windows Vista Desktop to Apple Network

I have a Windows Vista/Dell Desktop that I've hooked into my Wireless Network which is all Apple products. The Wireless card in the Dell is a D-link, but I have a constant problem with it dropping out when connected to my Apple TV. I'm wondering if I can hook an Airport Express directly into the Dell by an Ethernet cable, effectively using it as my Wireless Network "card" for the Dell. That would make all my Network components Apple products which I think would improve the reliability. Does my plan make sense??

Yes, this will work fine if you have a good wireless signal at the location for the Express. You would configure the Express to "join" the wireless network created by your Apple base station. Make sure that you put a check mark in the box next to "allow ethernet clients" on the setup for the Express.
If the wireless signal is not strong at the location of the Express / Dell, you might also consider the use of ethernet power line adapters. I've had very good luck with these devices and find that overall, they perform faster and more reliably than wireless.

  • Power Manager for Windows Vista - ThinkPad

     The link show the update is for a T61p, running Vist, 
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70601
    But once the download is done, the system refuses to install the  v2.50 - why is that ?
    The pc is aT61p, vista Ult., with PMgt 2.3.

    Hi Ran,
    Thanks!
    I haven't tried it yet.
    In the meantime i did more testing and found out that even with only Power Manager version 2.41a installed the latest Intel Pro wireless driver also supported by lenovo is not stabel and FN-F5 or windows network connection also fails to switch the radio back on after a reboot when the radio has been turned off first ;-(
    Reading http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67283
    over and over I decide to revert back to the old Intel wireless driver listed on this page.

    I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

    All,
    A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
    Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
    The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
    Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
    So happy to be done w/this one!
    Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

  • Which register cleaner or tune up software is the best to use for windows vista,windows 7 and windows 8.1 as professional?

    hi,
    I like to know wich register cleaner or tune up software is the best to use for windows vista- windows7- and windows 8.1.
    I like to know the proffesional  version of it which I can use for my clients  every where  unlimitted to clean unwanted keys  of registry and improve performance.(specialy in Dutch language).
    thanks
    johan
    h.david

    I second what Kate Li said.  There's no need for a registry cleaner!  Don't do it! I run Windows systems for years and they keep running as light and fast as when they're new.
    What I *do* recommend is regularly reviewing the list of programs set to run in the background using a tool to show you what starts in various ways called Autoruns, which can be found here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
    This tool can be used to disable things you don't need.

  • Service pack 1 for windows vista home premium

    Recently my computer had a virus. I had to do a complete system restore. Now that I have done this I am trying to install the service pack 1 for this operating system and I get to the third step and the progress bar hardly moves. I have let it run for
    up to 8 hours and no progression. I tried to install the service pack 2 but it says I need 1 first. Need lots of help on this issue please. Windows update not catching that I need this.

    Hi,
    During the Windows Vista SP1 installation, this issue occurs when a third-party application holds open a file or locks a file that the Service Pack installation program
    has to use. For example, a third-party antivirus or antispyware application may cause this problem. If you are running any third-party applications such as Spyblocker, Internet or web accelerators (programs designed to boost the speed of the Internet connection),
    security or anti-virus programs (McAfee, Norton, etc.), I recommend temporarily disabling or shutting them down during the troubleshooting process. Please be sure to re-enable them once the process has completed.
    I recommend running Reset Windows Update Tool and System Update Readiness Tool. System resources, such as file data, registry data, and even in-memory data, can develop
    inconsistencies during the lifetime of the operating system. These inconsistencies can be caused by various hardware failures or software issues. In some cases, these inconsistencies can affect the Windows servicing store, and they can cause software updates
    not to work. We can run Reset Windows Update Tool and System Update Readiness Tool to resolve these inconsistencies. When Reset Windows Update Tool and System Update Readiness Tool detects incorrect manifests, files, or registry data, it might replace the
    incorrect data with a corrected version. Please follow the steps below.
    Step 1: Run Reset Windows Update Tool and System Update Readiness Tool
    1. Please download and run Reset Windows Update Tool from the link below:
    http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9665683
    2. Please download and run System Update Readiness Tool from the link below according to the System Type:

    SP1 standalone installer in Clean Boot.
    For your reference, I have attached these steps as below:

    ====================================================
    1. Download Windows Vista SP1 from the link below according to the System Type:
    Windows Vista Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista 32-bit (Size: 544.3MB)

    2. Please save it on the Desktop.
    Step 2: Install Windows Vista SP1 in Clean Boot Mode
    =========================================
    Please disable all startup items and third party services when booting to avoid conflict when installing
    Vista SP1.:
    1. Click "Start", type: MSCONFIG in the search box and press Enter.
    Note: Please click "Continue" if the "User Account Control" window pops up.
    2. Click "Services", check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
    3. Click "Startup", click "Disable All", click "OK" and restart the computer.
    Note: Temporarily disabling the Startup Group only prevents the startup programs from loading at startup. This shouldn't affect the system or other programs. We can manually run these programs later.
    4. Please double click the downloaded Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Standalone Installer and follow the instructions to install Windows
    Vista SP1.
    To restore the computer to use a Normal Startup, repeat step 1 above. Then click "Normal Startup" on the General tab, click "OK", and then restart the computer.

  • Where can i find the icoud control panel for windows vista

    I need to back up my iphone and cannot find the software for the icloud control panel for windows vista --- only for windows 7 and 8.
    Where can I find this as Ineed to back upp my phone before an appointment tomorrow to replace my battery.
    Thanks for your help

    Here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1687.
    If you're trying to back up your phone to iCloud, you don't do this on your computer.  You have to do it using wifi.  First go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, tap Storage & Backup and turn iCloud Backup on at the bottom.  Then, to manually start a backup right away, tap Back Up Now at the bottom.  Connect it to your charger as the first backup will take some time to complete.  (Subsequent backups will be much faster as they only back up changed files.)
    After that, just connect it to wifi and your charger and lock the screen when you go to bed at night.  It will automatically back up daily.

  • Help with Drivers for HP dv8315nr for Windows Vista 64bit

    Hi everyone! In 2007 i bought a laptop a HP Pavilion dv8315nr with the hope that the stickers in his keyboard saying "Vista Compatible" was true and the promise of that the AMD Turion processor can handle a 64bit OS. Today i realize that was not entirely true, because i got the Windows Vista ultimate for 64bits and the processor can handle this OS but i see that in the HP site don't provide any support for the drivers, so i get the problem that i don't have audio in my laptop and the modem adapter doesn't  work either.
    My question is can anybody help me with the audio driver for the HPdv8315nr for windows vista 64bit, that's my priority.
    I appreciate the attention for this manner. Thank you
    Jorge

    I have the same problem with my Photosmart 7350's--I have two. I cannot get either to work with the New Mac Pro driver--Gutenprint .... I got the new drivers from Apple for HP but they fixed nothing. I even downloaded the newer drivers from HP, but their Printer Assistant does not seem to be working. I downloaded it twice. I can get a test page to print a few lines but the rest of the page is blank. When I try to print with either Pages or Word I get either nothing or trash.
    My computer is the New Mac Pro 2.8 8-core with OS X 10.5.4.
    These printers work with my Windows machine and I have read where they work with the Mac OS X. Can someone help. The link for printing trouble shooting did not help. My guess is the driver but I cannot get one do show up even after the HP download.
    thank dr_lynch

  • Error in Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

    Hello Everyone,
    I am a regular user of I-tunes but recently i dont know why but I got some error in Launching I-tunes. So as recomonded by "Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7" section. I started removing the products. But after removing Quick time, I tried to remove Apple Software Update but while uninstalling it gave error that "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." and the uninstall rollbacks.
    Please send me a feasible solution to this problem.
    Thank You.

    Uninstalling the iCloud control panel should allow you to do that folder deletion.

  • BDB support for Windows Vista, WIndows 7 and Windows Server?

    Hello,
    I examine to use BDB on Windows, and I have a question.
    There's a description about supported OSs on the BDB reference guide as follows;
    Where does Berkeley DB run?
    The Berkeley DB distribution includes support for Windows/95, Windows/98, Windows/NT, Windows/2000 and Windows/XP, via the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and .NET development environments.
    Does BDB distribution supports for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003?
    And it will support Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7?
    I believe that BDB does not depend on specific function of Windows, thus there's no problem to support them...
    Regards,
    Akira

    Yes, we have a plan about BDB support for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server. Once we are ready, we'll let you know here.
    Hi Vit,
    For Berkeley DB XML questions, please go to the Berkeley DB XML forum at: Berkeley DB XML
    By the way, I learnt there's a XP-compatible mode in Windows 7. You may want to try DB-XML with that.
    Best regards,
