Help with hard wired express

Be gentle, I am struggling here! I have an airport extreme in a location that does not allow my airport express to connect wirelessly in a consistent fashion. I recently hardwired the express by pulling cat5 to my remote location. I have the cat5 plugged into available port on my extreme, in my remote location the other end is plugged into a Netgear 8 port switch (FS608 v3), I have a tv, directv receiver and the airport express plugged into this switch. Currently I have the radio turned off in the express and it streams iTunes perfectly. Green light on. I have tried multiple configurations to get the express to serve as a wireless access point but always get an amber light and no wireless. I would really like to get this express to provide wireless for this part of my home. The express is previous generation and does not do "n". Can anyone walk me through a setup that will allow me to stream iTunes and use the express as a wireless access point. I have found many tutorials for wireless set ups but not for hard wired. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the discussions!
You already have the hardware and wiring in place for what is called a "roaming" network. You need to set up the AirPort Express as a "bridge" to create a wireless network using exactly the same name, security and password as your AirPort Extreme network. Step by step is provided below.
So, the first task is to retrieve the information that you will need from the AirPort Extreme. You probably already know your network name and password, but may not know that exact type of security that the Extreme is using.
Open AirPort Utility, click on your AirPort Extreme and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons to reveal your wireless settings page. Write down the exact setting for security that the device is using and your network name if you do not remember it.
Close AirPort Utility
Open AirPort Utility and click on your AirPort Express (AX)
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network = Same name as your AirPort Extreme network
Radio Mode = 802.11b/g
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as your Extreme network
Wireless Password = Exact same password as your Extreme network
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings and you should be all set. You should now have expanded wireless coverage and your laptop will be able to "roam" from one area to another and automatically pick up the best wireless signal depending on where it is located in relation to your AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express.

Need help with hard-wiring speaker set-up

Heres what I am trying to do:
I have a pair of nice old-fashioned speakers. Old-fashioned meaning that there are two wires coming out of each, stereo sound. The ends of the wires are just metal strands, well, you know, they have been cut off. They originally had plugs at the end that could plug into normal sterio outputs. I cut them off because I wanted to use them for an old radio. But now I need speakers for my imach g5 and these will work if only I can connect the wires some how. So should I but plugs to go on the end? I need to pair the wires together, I am guessing? Any help would be much appreciated. This is quite urgent.
I have made a little diagram of what I mean.
[IMG]http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/795/speakersetup6wb.jpg[/IMG]

You will need to put the plug ends back on the wires. I'm fairly sure that any attempt to solder the wires in "permanantly" would be dangerous to the computer. I am absolutely positive that any such attempt to wire them in, would void whatever warranty you may or may not have left.

Airport express with hard-wired medem router?

hi there. i've got a hard-wired modem router to my mac and a pc. my mac however has got an airport card in it and i'm thinking of buying a usb wifi dongle thing (?) for the pc and use an airport express station to get wireless internet.
Can anyone please assure me that this set up would work:
lounge: iMac with aiport card.
bedroom upstairs: pc with usb wifi thing
living room: phone line plugged in modem router, modem router ethernet cabled to airport express plugged in socket on the wall. hi-fi plugged in airport express with stereo jack.
would i get wireless internet on both machines an my tunes wirellesly available on the hi-fi?
thanks for your patience!
also does anyone know whether i need to let my isp know that i'm intending to use wifi or will it work anyway?

With the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), configured as a "bridge and connected via Ethernet to your wired router, it will act like a Wireless Access Point (WAP). In this configuration, the wired router will continue to provide NAT & DHCP services for both the wired and wireless clients connected to it.
Your proposed network configuration is sound. The only issue I see may be the wireless range. The AX is advertised at 300' for 802.11b (11 Mbps), but building construction materials or other forms of Wi-Fi Interference may limit this range. The end result is that the wireless clients furthest away from the AX may experience weak or poor wireless performance.

Working photographer needs help with hard drives and raid O decisions

Hi new here and also new to Mac well almost new been 20 years since i had a mac. i have a Mac Pro Book and this led to ordering the MacPro since I am a working photographer i made a complete switch in platforms so i have some questions and such but I did place a order on Friday for a 2.66 4gbs of Ram , 2 500 gb hard drive and a 30 in monitor and of course the ATI 1900 XT card so yes i am waiting like many for that card.
I put initial 4gb of ram since running CS2 will at least take a max of 3gb's in the memory cache . i plan on getting 2gbs more from OWC since that seems to be the only 3rd party ram at the moment that is working correctly from reading some of the threads here. Having 6gbs is a no brainer really given the amount of Raw processing that i do along with PS work plus having e-mail and other apps open at the same time. The ram to me is the easy part although expensive . My biggest issue is what to do with the 2 hard drive slots and Raid O or not but I will start a thread on that. But i will have 6gbs total for now and the bottom line is you can never have enough ram still holds true.
Now on to my diliemma with hard drives. I did have a raid O scsi 10k rapture and and 10 k scratch on my Dell box and I am just not sure what to do here. i ordered the 2 500 gb hard drive and I may just put them on the storage side of things than get 2 WD 150gb 10 k Sata drives. Now i could Raid O them for 300 gb and get a performace boast that way or i could keep them seperate and put everything on 1 150 drive and ue the second for scratch only. What i don't know is what Mac perfers and what works better. Not worried so much about failure of drives, thats just life in the big city stuff and you just have backups. What i more worried about is performance versus a waste . seems to me that Raid O may not even be needed with these new Intel boxes with all the horsepower going on. Now the other think I notice is the WD 150gb 10 k drives are 1.5 and not 3.0 so is it really faster than the 7200 3.0 single hard drives. I read barefeats shoot out and it seems just getting the right drives in 7200 and Raid O them maybe the answer.
Okay i am not the biggest geek on the planet but I do know my stuff but this is a area that i look for more knowledge on this. So if i can get some sound advice in this area. i know there are many photographers out there like me pushing hundreds of images that could use the same advice. Now let's leave the money end out , folks sometimes think more with there wallet than what works best not that I am opposed to saving money but after spending over 7 k already on this system it becomes a moot point.

Ok your question is if you should RAID O the two 150GB Raptors or not.
I think it was wise for you to get a couple of them for a boot drive with "Time Machine" coming in the next version of Mac OS X. The second drive would make a excellent bootable backup and eliminating downtime if a boot drive dies on you one morning.
In fact any boot drive cloning software that is Mac Intel ready now would do you good.
Now Barefeats has run some tests, and I can pretty much back up what they say from my own experience.
Mac OS X and apps can be helped only so much by a faster boot drive, and a single 10,000 RPM Raptor is enough, RAID O a pair is overkill.
If you install everything on the boot Raptor and keep your space hogging files (except iTunes) in new folders on another drive, even a 7,200 RPM 500GB, the two drives combined is faster as there is nearly no wait. Both drives can be accessed at the same time. Keeping the boot drive slim keeps the stylus (arm) moving as little as possible to get all the small reads/writes Mac OS X needs.
I RAID O-ed my boot drives because 74GB was the largest they had at the time, so combining them gave me speed and larger storage. I hardly use the speed, it only comes in handy if by rare chance I duplicate a 20GB folder, then I can do it in half the time of a 7,200 RPM drive.
Some of the drawbacks of a RAID O set, especially as a boot drive is that I have to auto-clone the whole set to a external drive regularly (I actually do a couple). Since the data path is separated with a RAID O, any drive failure results in total data loss.
So if you RAID O those 150GB Raptors, your going to have to clone 300GB to a external drive (or another internal) regularly, like once a week. This will take considerable time and you can't use the machine while the cloning process is going on. Sure auto-cloning software like DeJaVu can be used at night/weekends, but why bother cloning more than you have to for no big speed increase?
However if your messing with huge Photoshop files that spill over your CS2 3GB RAM limit (you need to have a "scratch" thats as fast as RAM), duplicating large files and other heavy duty drive work, then a boot RAID O will come in handy. Just remember your initial performance of 185 MB p/s will drop about 20-25% when those drives are 3/4 filled. Still 140 MB p/s is extremely good and a no worry situation.
What is worrysome is anything below 80MB p/s (I'm talking uncached 4K write speeds under X-Bench) with a new boot drive and then as time elaspes that boot drive gets filled up and loses half or more of it's inital speed. 30 MB p/s is really slow. Beachball H&LL.
http://www.barefeats.com/hard33b.html
Do Erase W/Zero in Disk Utility all new drives before laying data on them. Drives get subjected to shock which causes bad sectors on the drive. Driver software uses your data as a guinea pig to test the sectors (which you might not be able to recover the file). Zeroing does this without your data, rewriting the bad sector map so your writes are much improved, OS is more stable. etc.

Little help with this regular expression ?

Greetings all,
My string is like "P: A104, P105, K106" and I tried to split it using following regular expression ,but seems even though it returns 'true' as matched, it does not split the string.
Finally what I want is String is array like {"P:","A104","P105","K106"}
What seems to be the problem with my regular expression?
       String PAT1="[a-zA-Z]:\\s([a-zA-Z]\\d{1,}([,]\\s)?)*";
     String inp="P: A104, P105, K106";
     Pattern p=Pattern.compile(PAT1);
     System.out.println(p.matcher(inp).matches());
     String strs[]=inp.split(PAT1);
     for(String s:strs){
          System.out.println("part "+s);
     }

You can also use split(":|,")No, that will remove the colon and leave the whitespace intact. My understanding is that the OP wants to keep the colon and remove the commas and whitespace. I would use this: String[] strs = inp.split(",?\\s+");

Help with small wired network?

My office has 7 iMacs and 3 MacBooks using ethernet cables to connect via a hub. I'm trying to establish a wired network between these, so as to allow full browsing and read/write access among them while preventing access to any computer not physically connected.
I understand I can set the home folders to shared, but a few problems present:
1. This seems to establish wireless sharing, whereas we need a wired-only network.
2. I understand how to share between accounts on a single computer, say, accounts A and B on computer X. But how to add permissions for accounts on other computers (e.g. account Y on computer Z)?

Yep, I realize that, and it's where I'm stuck at. I'm only seeing two possibilities, neither of which is helpful...
A. allow permissions for "Users & Groups" on the same computer, which ignores the goal of networking users from other computers.
B. allow "Everyone" with a wireless connection, which ignores the goal of creating a network between only the office computers.
So the Receptionist computer wants to allow access to users from the Front Office computer, Technicians computer, and Back Office computer. Back office wants to allow users from the Technicians computer, Front Office computer, and so forth.
But for example, all I can figure out now is how to allow users on the Receptionist computer to allow other users on the Receptionist computer, or else to allow all users from any computer with a wireless connection...

Need help with Hard Disk usage selection.

I am going to get a Mac Pro and I am goint to probably use Final Cut Studio and Photoshop. This is the Hard Disk setup I was thinking of:
Bay 1:WD Raptor X 150GB - OS X and some big applications.
Bay 2:Stock 250GB - Downloads and some programs
Bay 3:750GB Seagate - Music, photos, and videos (Multimedia)
Bay 4:120GB - Scratch Disk for Final Cut Studio and Photoshop
I need recommendations especially about the scratch disk. I need to know if the scratch disk is recommended to have a specific size or speed. Also, instead of the 750GB drive, I would probably wait becaus Seagate might releases a 1TB drive.

Would be nice if we could unleash those other two SATA ports sitting unused untiil there are PCI Express controllers. And are there any drive 'kits' or something in the wings to mount two extra drives? do-able?
If you need 400GB for music, photos and video, then yes, 750GB makes sense. And you think you might want/need 1TB? Given the problems RAIDing those "super size" Seagate's and the unacceptable I/O on some drives reported by Barefeats...
Backup concerns: SATA drives in a universal case with hot-swap drive bays so you can use same SATA as you have internally, and where 750GB Seagate would be nice - and expandable. And where a FW800 interface would be acceptable and offer decent performance (maybe even Oxford 912 "RAID" FW).
For now, it might make sense temporarily to use external for one drive, and reserve the internal drive bays for things like scratch and RAID.
With SoftRAID 3.5.x and 3 x 500GB drives, you could create a stripped RAID using the outer tracks and still have non-RAID or even 2nd RAID using the remaining space.
I would not use 120GB drive for anything. 320 (or 300GB because they are affordable and fast) as the smallest density capacity (except for Raptor of course).
Two 500GB drives, or two 750's if the bugs or problems get fixed, and using those in RAID? Heck, remove the 250GB and get 3rd.

Help with conditional build expressions

I'm using RoboHelp HTML and creating WebHelp Pro layouts. I
want to create five (or more) different versions of the Help tool
for our various groups of users.
Here's what I'd like to do: Create a conditional build tag
for each of the versions (i.e. each of our groups of users). I
could name them as follows:
group1
group2
group3
group4
group5
Then, I would associate each topic with one or more of the
build tags. For example, topic1 may be for group1 and group2;
topic2 may be for group1 and group4. Etc.
The problem is thus: When I want to create the version for,
say, group1, my expression ends up excluding the other groups. In
the end, this omits any topics associated with group1 that are also
associated with the other build tags (i.e. the other groups).
Is there an expression I can use to prevent these topics from
being omitted? Perhaps the use of parentheses?
The only solution I've used is tedious: I create many build
tags--one for each variation. For example, I'd have a
group1group2group3 build tag, a group1group3 build tag, a
group1group4 build tag, etc. Then, I just associate one build tag
with each topic. When I'm creating a version for group1, for
example, I'd just include all topics with a build tag that includes
group1 (e.g. group1, group1group3, group1group2group3, et. al.). I
omit the others (e.g. group2group3, group2group4,
group2group3group4group5...et. al.).
As you can imagine, this solution is problematic. First, I
have to create and keep track of many many build tags. Then, if I
want to create another version of Help, I need to change all the
build tags to include this new group.
I'm sure there must be a better build tag expression for what
I'm trying to accomplish. Please help! Thanks!

There is indeed an expression! Unfortunately, the option is
normally hidden, so it can be tricky to find. Here's what you do:
1. Define the build tags.
2. Apply them to your topics. OVERLAPPING IS ENCOURAGED! That
is to say, you can assign tag1, tag2, and tag3 to a single topic.
3. Right-click the desired layout and select Properties.
4. Click the Define button to the right of the Conditional
Build Tag drop-down menu. The Define Conditional Build Tag
Expression dialog will appear.
5. Click the Advanced button. The Advanced area will appear
at the bottom of the dialog.
6. Select a tag from the Available Conditional Build Tags
drop-down menu.
7. Click the Add Tag button. The selected tag will appear in
the Conditional Build Tag Expression display window.
8. Click the AND button.
9. Select another tag from the drop-down menu.
10. Click the Add Tag button.
11. Repeat steps 8-10 for each tag you wish to add to the
expression.
12. Click the OK button to close the dialog.
13. Click the Save button to save your layout with the new
build expression.
That's it! The trick is to use the ADVANCED button in the
Define Conditional Build Tag Expression dialog. Doing so allows you
to build inclusional expressions rather than exclusional
expressions, so you can avoid the hassle you described in your
post. Using this method, I defined two build tags (A and B) and
applied them to three topics as follows:
* Topic 1: Tag A
* Topic 2: Tag B
* Topic 3: Tags A and B
I then defined an expression that simply included tag A. When
I compiled my help, topics 1 and 3 appeared in the output, but
topic 2 did not.

Help With Hard Drive Problem

So I'm setting up my new computer and am having a problem. When I start it up it goes through the bios and whatnot. But, if I have the hard drive hooked up, the system will go to a black screen and stay there. I've tried it as the master to the CD-Rom and vice versa. Both ways stall as described. I can boot up the CD-Rom when it's by itself, but not with the HD hooked up. The weirdest thing is that the bios menu sees the hard drive and everythings. So I'm stumped. Please help.
EDIT: Computer stats below. Also not that the CD-rom and hard drive are on the same IDE cable.

Quote from: Maesus on 10-August-07, 16:00:27
the HDD is blank right?
Have you changed the boot sequence?
The hard drive is not blank, no. I've thought about that, but don't have a way of erasing it until tomorrow or the next day. I wasn't sure if that would really make a difference though. The main reason I'm not sure about that is the fact that it won't boot the CD-Rom when the hard drive is plugged in. Even if I tell it to only boot from the CD, it still goes to the same blank screen if I try it with the HD plugged in. As I said before, it will boot from CD if the hard drive is not present. I find it really weird that I can tell it to only boot from the CD-Rom and it still freezes with the HD present.

Comcast Router
My house has been wired for Ethernet. In my basement the ethernet cables that go to the various rooms are connected to the comcast router. My idea was to have a router on each level. I'd like to use ethernet for most things but wifi for iphones and ipads. Right now I have my time capsule in the middle floor and the extreme on the top floor. The problem is, the idevices don't jump from router to router. Is that even possible?
Lastly, in my basement, I have 1 ethernet port but 4 devices I want to connect to that port. How can I accomplish this? A switch?
Sorry for my ignorance and thanks in advance. Please let me know if there are other details needed to assist.

If you set up the roaming network correctly.. ie same name wireless, same security setting and password as per the standard roaming network instructions.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4260
Then some devices can hop towers nicely (Macbooks generally ok).. whereas iphones and ipads do not jump towers so well. (thinking of wifi like the 3G signal when you are out and about). The technology to jump from one wireless to another is established but some cards and drivers don't work as well as they should. If that is the case you have no choice but to manually switch off wireless and switch back on again.
Otherwise your layout is the best practice. Apple recommends roaming over wireless extend. And most wireless gurus do as it is far superior method.
Lastly, in my basement, I have 1 ethernet port but 4 devices I want to connect to that port. How can I accomplish this? A switch?
Yes, buy a switch. Let me recommend you actually buy a switch with enough ports for everything and have just one ethernet to the comcast router. So buy 8 port gigabit.. that should be enough.. if not then even a 16port. Using a single switch is the best way as it means all the devices are tied together with the best efficiency. Gigabit 8 port switch is a consumer item.. any big computer store will have them for $50 and pretty much any brand is just as good. Buy the Linksys or Netgear if you want longer warranty.

Please help with some wired remote questio

Hello, id like to ask you guys who know alot about mp3 players this. I bought a Zen touch a few months ago and id like to hear FM radio besides my mp3 on it. Problem is that im not from USA and i dont have any options to get the creative wired remote with FM included because the shipment is way too expensi've, i'm from Chile ( if anyone knows where that is). Thing is i was wondering on a Chilean auctions web and i saw this article " Sony MZ-NF60 MiniDisc" wich includes a Wired FM Remote, so i was thinking DOES THIS WIRED REMOTE IS COMPATIBLE WITH MY ZEN TOUCH? AND IF IT IS, DOES THE FM FUNCTION ALSO? well i leave it to you guys it would be really helpful to me if someone answer my question. ( I've tested other wired remotes like a samsung but with no FM and works just fine) Thanks for reading.Message Edited by morovic on 04-2-2005 07:42 PM

I don't think you could hurt your zen by using a non creative remote. The only way you could is if the plug didn't fit and you jammed it in there. As long as the port is the same, it should work, but maybe not all the functions. I use one from Sony that was for my old discman and it does basic functions (play/pause, stop, next track, etc.), it looks sort of like the micro remote

Hello,
Did you already look in your log of the apex installation. Are you sure everything ran ok and you didn't have any errors?
As far as I know it's or the owa package which is not correct or an incomplete install of APEX.
Did you try to recompile the invalid objects already? @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
If all of that doesn't work I would try to reinstall APEX.

result:java j2ee
result:java j2ee
result: and
result: and
result: and
result: and
result: and
result: and
result:C
result:c
result:c
result:c
result:c
result:c
result:c
In the last lines i should get result:c++ instead of result: c
Any ideas please
Thanks

In the last lines i should get result:c++ instead of result: cThe regular expression parser considers the plus sign '+' a special
character; it means: one or more times the previous regular expression.
So 'c++' means one or more 'c's on or more times. Obviously you don't
want that, you want a literal '+' plus sign. You can do that by prepending
the '+' with a backslash '\'. Unfortunately, the javac compiler considers
a backslash a special character and therefore you have to 'escape'
the backslash also, by adding another backslash. The result looks
like this:"c\\+\\+"kind regards,

Help with an SQL Expression - Return field value where Datetime is Min or First datetime

Hello,
I'm extracting results for a patient population.
I have 6 SQL expressions that pull back the first date for specific procedures or Medications being ordered.
These Expressions work perfect - One of the expressions return the first time a lab was ordered.
I'm using SQL that return
Min(OrderDatetime)
From OrderTable
Where
LABCode = XXX
I've now been ask to return the value of this lab result.
Question: How do I write an SQL expression that return the Lab value of the Min(OrderDatetime)
Example Data
PATID* LABID * OrderDatetime * ResultValue
Pat1*133 * 12/12/2013 11:00:pm * 77
Pat1*145 * 12/12/2013 11:45:pm * 45
Pat1*147 * 12/13/2013 12:10:AM * 78
I was to return 77
Thanks
Steve

Here is what I came up with but I'm getting an error -
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <,>,>= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
SELECT LABRESULTS.ORDER_VALUE as LabResult
FROM   LABRESULTS, ORDERS_PROD, PATIENT_HSP
WHERE
"ORDERS_PROD"."CSN_ID" = "LABRESULTS"."CSN_ID" AND
"ORDERS_PROD"."ORDER_PROC_ID" = "LABRESULTS"."ORDER_PROC_ID" AND
ORDERS_PROD.ORDER_INST IN     (
                              SELECT Min(ORDERS_PROD.ORDER_INST)
                              FROM   ORDERS_PROD
                              WHERE "PATIENT_HSP"."CSN_ID" = "ORDER_PROD"."CSN_ID" AND
                              ("ORDERS_PROD"."ORDER_STATUS_C"<>4 OR
                              "ORDERS_PROD"."ORDER_STATUS_C"<>9) AND
