Do I need to plug an AirPort into my router in order to use AirPrint.
I am thinking about purchasing an airport express.
I know that if I want to use airport with a printer that is not airprint compatible, I need to plug the airport express into it via USB.
Do I also need to plug the airport express into my Wi-Fi router?
An AirPort Express can extend an AirPort network (created by an AirPort Extreme or Express), but not necessarily any other brand's network. (It might work with some offbrand network somewhere, but most do not have the right software to support the AirPort-style extended network.)
However, an AirPort Express can join (become a client of) any standard wifi network (if the bands match) and pass data through to the ethernet port, pass print data out the USB port, or pass audio out the audio port.

Do you need to have Adobe Acrobat X or XI in order to use FormsCentral? Can FormsCentral be used without Acrobat to create and modify forms?
Hi Joseph,
Unfortunately, no. But Adobe does offer a free 30-day trial of Acrobat (absolutely no obligation). So, you could download the trial to fix up the form. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html. Acrobat is also offered on a subscription basis.

Do I need to plug my airport express into a modem to use it as its own router?
I want to use my airport express as a router. Do I need to plug it into a modem to do this or can I do this without pluging anything into it.
The AirPort Express is a wireless router only, with no modem on board.
You will need to connect the Express to a broadband modem if you want to be able to access the Internet. -
So standard electrical output from wall outlets in the US is 110V - 120V, and standard output from wall outlets in South Africa is 220V - 240V. In SA I know I can plug in an iPhone using the iPhone charging cable and it will automatically step down the voltage, thus preventing my phone from overheating. I cannot plug in a hairdryer or flat iron without step down voltage converter in SA. Can I use the charger that came with my US 2011 Macbook Air and plug into a wall outlet in South Africa or do I need to purchase a step down voltage converter in order to charge my laptop while in SA?
You only need a plug adaptor as long as the voltage is between 100 and 240 volts.

I want to extend my existing wireless router by using the AirPort Express for my Smart TV. Can I just plug in the AirPort halfway between the router and the Smart TV and have no direct connection to a computer or the TV, or do I need to plug in next to the TV and somehow connect the AirPort to the TV (ethernet)?
You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it. -

Many thanks.

Do I need to keep the Capsule plugged in to my cable modem in order to use it for backup?
The location of my cable modem is really inconvenient. I'd like to move the Capsule to a different room. Do I need to keep it connected to the cable modem in order to be able to use it as my Time Machine backup device?
I assume your cable modem is a router.. as such the TC should be wired to it in bridge. It will not do anything worse than now for the network in the house.. and the TC can then be accessed as per normal.
TC is designed to be plugged into the modem or main router by ethernet.
You can move it anywhere you like in the house as long as you have ethernet connection back to the modem.
You can run the TC by wireless .. it will have the following effects.
1. Super slow backups. It will simply reduce the current wireless speed by half or more for backups.
2. Since there is no QoS your internet will stop during backups. Or near to.
3. You will affect all wireless clients during the backups.
It can work, if your backups are very small.. but the TC becomes a near to useless dumb client in the network.. ethernet ports are off, wireless becomes mere client.. so you cannot even connect directly to it.
If you try the TC in stand alone.. ie a secondary network.. that can work.
1. The computer will then have backups or internet not both. You will need to deliberately connect to the TC to get backups working. That is assuming you use wireless.
2. You can do it with ethernet. and have internet by wireless. but the setup is tricky.. tell us if you want to proceed this way.
3. The problem is, the TC now becomes useless to the whole network and is only used by one computer. You may as well have bought a cheap USB drive, which is more reliable and faster. -
When I attempt to connect my mac to the monitor using a mini dvi to s video adapter the display becomes enlarged and stretched. I cannot seem to fix this using the system preferences or the quick keys that allow you to zoom in on the display. Any suggestions?
I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system. The TV says "No signal. Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection." Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display. But how do I do that?

I have my first ipad. It is the mini version. I'm trying to go to certain sites on the internet that tell me I need to update or install Adobe Flash Player. When I try to down load Adobe Flash Player I get a message saying "this device does not support Adobe Flash Player". Can I not use Adobe Flash Player on my ipad like I do on my computers and my iphone???
You can't install flash player on your iPad, nor on your iPhone - it's not supported on iOS devices, and as Adobe have stopped development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.

My computer is a Mac OS X Ver. 10.4.11. Firefox 4 is not compatible with this version, but the older application was overwritten when I downloaded Firefox 4. Is there a link I can use to download an older version of the app that is compatible with my computer?
Thanks!Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

What changes do i need to do to a home router in order to use facetime?
I have problems connecting to specific house wifi routers (parents and inlaws). With my brother i use facetime with no issues so i know facetime is not the issue.
With my parents or inlaws, they never receive my facetime calls and a lot of times i get "user s nit available for facetime" or it rings and rings until i get a n/a message. When they call me, i do receive the mesage and when i hit the accept button, it says conecting but it never does. (they have a weekend home eith another router and works perfect). So it must be the wifi router settings in their main home.Read through this article (especially the section on routers).
