Connecting to Airport via usb modem

I've been told that I need a usb to ethernet converter to connect my modem to my airport express station. Has anyone else had this problem, recomend the right piece of kit or modem?

A usb to ethernet converter will not work.
You need to replace the USB modem with an ethernet modem.
Check out the following website.

As most ADSL Modem Routers are setup through a web browser you should be fine with a Mac.
Personally I use plusnet and Netgear ADSL Modems. One is a DG834G combined device and the other is a DM602 Modem Router connected to an AEBS.
I would also check out ADSL Nation's X-Modem.

which can also be used in conjunction with an AEBS or AX.

External Drive won't show up when connected to Airport via USB Hub

I just got a new external HD and hooked it up out of the box. There were no problems until I tried copying 117 files to it. An error was encountered (Couldn't complete command due to something or other) and after that I never showed up on my computer again. I tried rebooting... hooking it up directly to the computer...the whole bit. Nothing.
So I then hooked it up to our laptop. It was found, I erased it, hooked it up to the desktop... it was found there as well... but whenever I hook it up wirelessly via the USB Hub and Airport... I can't get it.
Everything else that's hooked up to the hub is still working wirelessly (Printer Internet).
Is this an isssue with the drive?

Ya' know.. I'm not totally sure. I went to Airport Utility... selected my base station, clicked on Manual Setup... clicked on Disks and saw that my USB Drive was listed. After that I opened the finder, went to network, connected to my base station from there and my USB Drive popped up and I mounted it.
It's been working fine since.

Can I access my external harddrive if I connect it to my Airport via USB?

I have a basic router providing a wireless network and access to the internet (given by my internet provider). And then I recently bought an Airport adaptor and connected my stereo, and now I'm playing music wirelessly.
My question is then, will I be able to access my external harddrive if I connect it to my Airport via USB?
It's an Airport Express Base Station (the one with only jack, usb and ethernet)
Thanks

Sorry but the USB port on the AirPort Express (AX) does not support USB hard drives.

Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go.

I have an iP4500, which I assume is quite similar to your model.
I had to reset the printing system to get things printing again. Only takes a few minutes and no problems at all since I did it a week ago or so.
Plug the printer into the USB port on the Express and restart the printer.
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Print and Fax
Right-Click in the printer area on the left and select Reset Printing System
Then click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list to install the printer again.

Connecting MIDI controller via USB

Does anyone know how to connect a Roland SH-201 to a MacBook Pro via USB to use as a midi controller in Logic Express 8. I've installed the SH-201 driver, however I am getting a warning saying it is not compatible with an Intel based Macbook.
Just some general guidance in connecting a keyboard via USB to work within Logic Express 8 would be good.
Thanks.

Well, if the synth's USB driver is not compatible with your laptop's system, there is nothing you can do about it I'm afraid. There is always an option to get a portable USB to MIDI Interface (price would be around $20-50, I think) and connect your synth to Macbook Pro through it.

Is it possible to connect two Macs via USB ?

Is it possible to connect two Macs via USB just like Firewire back in the day via Target mode or is there something similar? I am asking this because about 2-3 years ago I would normally image Macs via Target Mode. I used to have a regular Macbook running 10.6 along with a customized-ready-to-go .dmg image saved on the Desktop. Whenever I needed to put that image into any Mac I would simply connect the two Macs via Firewire, I would then press "T" at startup which will get me in Target Mode, I would then see the disk appear in the desktop of the Mac I had the image. I would then copy that image to the T mode macbook using super duper. Can this still be done through USB with new models and if so will I also need to press T at startup ?

No, USB connection does not qualify for this, only firewire and thunderbolt, as I read (but cannot test, for the time being I have only one such mac around).
This is why the short series of alu MBs (2008) are not qualified for target mode either.
p.s. What ‘new models’ do you refer to?

I have a Mac connected to Internet via DSL modem. Just bought iPad (today). What hardware do I need to set up wireless LAN so iPad can be used anywhere in house? Will Linksys work with Apple?

I have a Mac connected to Internet via DSL modem. Just bought an iPad2 and need to know what hardware do I need to add wireless LAN so I can use iPad anywhere in the house. Will a Linksys router work with Apple? Can Mac be "hardwired" and iPad wireless? Probably stupid questions but I need to learn. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. You are correct. I was speaking in general terms here based on my experience with the two devices in day to day use, and not in terms of exact specifications.
A better choice would have been to say that the "coverage" is about the same with the edge going to the Extreme....due to the newer mutliple antenna design.
We sure could use more help on the forums. Hope that you will become a regular.
Hi Bob
RF is a minefield, but one that I have worked in for ages, the most critical factor in my experience is location, location, location!
Better routers have more intelligently designed antenna systems, output power as I said is the same, radiation pattern (coverage) is dependent on antennas and physical location more than all other factors.

Anyone had any luck scanning with hp all in one connected on airport express usb bonjour

Can someone tell me if apple will provide any support for scanning device included in hp all in one printers when connected on airport with USB bonjour network?
From what I have read so far, it would seem that the only way to get a network printer to work decently is to use it with an airport extreme base station with an ethernet cable. The usb "way" of the airport express doesn't seem to handle any fancy utility like ink level, test page or scanning.
Anyone have a solution other than that of buying an airport extreme base station ?
Sorry for my english, i'm from québec Canada (french canadien)
Thanks for any help

Apple receives the printer driver software from various manufacturers. So far, none of the printer manufacturers have chosen to include extra features in the "USB network" versions of the software. Since this is a user forum, none of us here have any knowledge about what future plans may be.
Your question really should be directed to the manufacturer of your all-in-one device. While we can't speak for Apple, it would be logical to assume that they would include this software shortly after it is made available by the printer manufacturer.

That's correct. Another way of saying the same thing is that if you want your all-in-one device to function correctly on a network, then look for a network all-in-one device, not a USB device. A properly configured wireless all-in-one would also work as a network device, since it connects to the network, not to USB.

Connecting 6720 Classic via USB crash PC USB devic...

When connecting 6720 Classic via USB cable to my Acer laptop all USB ports on laptop seize to work and Windows display a message that the USB device has malfunctioned. Eventually the PC is permanently stucked and only way to proceed is reset laptop on power button and prior to that remove the laptop charger to entirely power it off and let it reboot on battery. Harddisk controller is permanently indicating with a green light but harddisk is not spinning. When this happens the Nokia phone does not prompt for USB usage (connection type) and is also hanging in application execution for a while. I would like to be able to configure the phone not to charge via USB, but have not found a way to do that. I believe that the charging via USB is creating a low level hw driver and power surge problem in my laptop. Problem is not consistent but happens from time to time. When connecting the normal 230 VAC charger to Nokia device so the Nokia device is charging when connecting to laptop via USB the problem does not occur. In this situation the Nokia device will not try to charge from USB connection.
Any possibility to disable the charging over USB on the Nokia 6720 Classic device??

I had the same problem with my 6720 when I connected it to my HP laptop via USB to download maps. It crashed my computer making all USB ports unusable until I restarted the computer again. I think it happened after I downloaded the necessary software upgrade. I had to eventually use bluetooth to transfer maps data to my phone. It worked without any hitches. Can someone at Nokia fix this problem with the USB?

What is the difference between connecting a printer via USB or Ethernet ?

What is the difference between connecting a printer via USB or Ethernet ?

When a Printer with an Ethernet connector is connected via Ethernet, it becomes a peer device on your Network. It is available whenever it is on for all users on your Network.
When connected via USB, it relies on your computer to "Share" it onto the local Network. It is only available when the attached computer is on. It takes resources from that computer to facilitate printing for any User.

Access external hard drive connected to Airport Extreme USB via Windows & Mac

I have an Airport Extreme and I would like to connect an external hard drive to it via USB so that I can backup pictures, music, documents etc. I need to be able to see the external hard drive from my windows PC. I eventually will be buying a Mac so I would like to be able to also get to my pictures and documents via the MAC as well.
I currenlty have an iPhone, iPad and Apple TV so getting to the external drive from these devices would be a huge bonus also if that is possible.
I recently bought an ioSafe Solo External Hard Drive and I had to return it because it was only formatted for the PC. When I plugged it into my Airport Extreme, I could see the drive via the Airport Disk Utility but I could not see it from my PC and I could not map a drive to it. When I contacted ioSafe support, they said that what I was trying to do was not possible since I did not have a MAC available to me to reformat the drive.
I hope that I am not trying to accomplish the impossible because I will always need to live in a MAC/PC world.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

You must know people with Macs.. it is 2min work to plug a USB drive into a Mac Laptop and format it Mac OS extended with a quick format.. And that is better IMHO than buying a utility or buying a pre-formatted drive which are often more expensive for no very good or obvious reason.
Another option is a Linux boot disk.. Linux distributions have very similar command line tools to the Mac OS. (some are identical) and HFS+ has been available for ages in Linux.
