Hi, I'm thinking of buying the Airport Express or Extreme for my school dormitory, would i need to plug them into the already existing school internet via LAN cable or do the products just work by themselves?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
AirPort stations aren't modems, so they have to be connected to the modem you are already using. The AirPort Extreme and Express have a WAN port, where you have to plug an Ethernet cable that has to be connected to the modem.
After doing this, you can set up the AirPort station by using AirPort Utility. If you have Windows, download AirPort Utility from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547

Airport express or extreme for home wireless network
My Mac Pro is hooked up to my internet upstairs. I would like to hook-up my sony bravia to the internet through a wireless bridge. Do I need the express or extreme? My PS3 is already hooked up to my mac pro through internet sharing. What is the best way to set up an internet connection for my tv and PS3?

HT1515 Is there a monthly bill for airport express and extreme?
I am thinking about buying a airport express but would ike to know if I will have to pay a monthly bill for it or not
Well, in order to use the devices for internet access, you need an ISP (internet service provider) - either cable, DSL or whatever is available in your area. That provider is going to charge a fee for internet access. Other than that, no there is no inherent fee in using the equipment (eg. as long as you do not need internet connectivity, and just wanted an in-home wireless connection between your own devices, you could use them entirely for free, other then the electricity used to power them).

Can I use AirPlay from my PC to my AppleTV when connected to an AirPort via LAN cable?
Well as stated above I'm wondering if I can use AirPlay from my PC to my AppleTV when my PC is connected via LAN cable to an AirPort.
I'm asking because usually your PC has to be on the same Wifi as your other Apple device, so AirPlay can function, and id love the ability to Stream via AirPlay but still be connected to the internet via LAN cable.
Thanks in advance for any help!AirPlay is not restricted to wireless only. It can also work over Ethernet. Basically as long as there is a connection (on the same subnet) between the iTunes host and the AirPlay "speaker" streaming should take place without any issues.
FWIW, My Win8 PC is connected to a Time Capsule via Ethernet. In turn my Apple TV is connected to the TC's wireless network. I have no trouble streaming from the PC to the Apple TV in this configuration. -
Can I buy an Airport Express plug-in wifi signal booster to connect to a Cisco wireless router, or do I have to buy an Airport Extreme base station to make the Airport Express plug-in work?
You would need either an AirPort Extreme or an AirPort Express connected to the Cisco router, with a permanent Ethernet cable connection.
Configure the Extreme or Express that is connected to the Cisco router to "create a wireless network".
Then, you could add an AirPort Express to "extend a wireless network" to provide more wireless coverage for the network that the Extreme or Express would be creating.
Remember that the Express can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives, so it must be located where it can receive a strong signal from the "main" AirPort.
If you don't need the Cisco wireless signal, you could turn it off.....or use that network for guests or something similar.
The bottom line here......you always need two Apple routers if you want to extend the network wirelessly. -

Dear sir/madam
Please I'd be happy if we can claim where we are misleaded when buying the product : The retailer or seller should know what they are selling ... For example I asked earphone for my shuffle ipod 3rd generation showing it but the they gave me an ear phone which just was like an ordinary earphone where I can't low and high the volume nor I can select the playlist ... Please read below
that I wrote to you in the email I've sent to you on last April as followed :-
Dear madam/sir,
It's me Santosh Lamichhane who just arrived to my place in Kathmandu, Nepal after a month visit in Bolivia and Argentina ...
Dear madam/sir, I like to inform you that while my visit in Santa Cruz de La sierra in Bolivia I bought a new earphone for my ipod shuffle 3G due to the problem in my old earphone on the date as followed in the bill of as shown
ALTEK

Vendedor:
Federico
Date 02/04/2012 time: 03:34:22 PM
I did checked the earphone there same time and found that I can't lower or high the volume from that new purchased earphone and even asked why and one of your senior staff said it might be the problem of my ipod shuffle's setting, Since the beginning of the time of purchase till I came to Nepal 4 days ago I didn't use the ipod because I'm not able to increase the volume and I didn't took my laptop with me while my visit there ...
But when I try to restore my shuffle here ; even that doesn't works ... Today and yesterday when I checked my friend's earphone of ipod - it was working on my shuffle and my earphone also working in his classic ...
I want to kindly request you since I showed my shuffle at the time of buying earphone there in Altek, San Martin AV in SAnta Cruz de la Sierra in Bolivia and asked I need the earphone for my ipod shuffle 3G It's not my fault ... Could you please ask the agents of apple here in Kathmandu to replace it with the working the right compatible earphone for me ...
Hope to hear from you very soon ...
Thanking you

I am thinking of buying the new Canon EOS 1DX
I am thinking of buying the new Canon EOS 1DX camera.
Do I need to upgrade from Photoshop CS3 to take full advantage of the new gear? Thanks,Yes. You'll need Photoshop CS6.
Only Adobe Camera Raw 7.1 (and later) supports the Canon EOS 1DX.
"The Camera Raw 7.1 plug-in is not compatible with versions of Photoshop earlier than Photoshop CS6."

Note: you only have until 31 Dec 2012 to upgrade to CS6 from CS3 at upgrade prices. Under Adobe's new "one version back" policy introduced in the CS6 cycle, which comes into full effect on 1 Jan 2013, you will have to pay full price for CS6 if you have not upgraded by then.

If I upgrade to Lion do I also have to buy the upgraded i Work suite? I just bought I Work from Apple three months ago.
You don't have to buy the new version and you aren't forced to apply the updater 9.1

Thinking of buying the apple tv
I am thinking of buying the new apple tv, but I am not sure of a few things, I have been searching, but there is so much info its hard to find the right answers.
What I want to do is watch movies and pictures from my imac and ipad, which the apple tv does.
But can I also hook it up to my stereo just for music?
So hook it up to TV for movies and such and also hook it up to the stereo just for music?
Also, can I make it stream family videos from a video camera, which I would download to my imac?
So video camera videos from imac?
Or if someone can point me to a website that might show some hook up suggestions.
Thank youThe Apple TV has an HDMI and an optical output. If your stereo has either an HDMI or optical input then you can hook it directly to your receiver for music.
My receiver has an HDMI input so I only need to connect it to the receiver with HDMI and then the receiver connects to my HDTV with HDMI. That's the preferred connection method. If your receiver does not have HDMI, you can connect the Apple TV to the TV with HDMI and then connect the Apple TV to the receiver with an optical cable.
The Apple TV outputs sound over both outputs simultaneously so either of the above two methods will allow you to listen to music on your stereo without having the TV on. If you don't have the right inputs on your receiver, most TVs have RCA outputs that you can connect to the receiver that way and I believe that requires the TV to be on but I'm not sure.
The videos from your video camera will play on the Apple TV as long as they are in a supported format. Otherwise you would need to convert them. -
I have a Windows copy of Photoshop Elements 11, but the serial number has been lost. I didn't buy the product and I am unable to find the box. As far as I know, it's never been used so has not been registered. Does anyone know how the serial number can be recovered under these circumstances?
If you never bought the product then you cannot get the serial number.

I bought an Airport Express from a supplier who told me I'd need at least iOS 5.4 on my iPad. My first generation iPad is apparently up to date but the iOS is only 5.1.1. Before I unpack the device I want to know whether it will work with this earlier version.
Apple says that a minimum of iOS 5.0 is required. See the support document below. Look for Requirements on the left hand side of the page about half way down.
Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later.

How is the product allocation work?
How is the product allocation works? (material master: Basic Data 1,) where is the place to maintain the parameters?
point will givenProduct Allocation
Configuration Overview; Allocation Specific Usage
1.Allocation Procedure (OV1Z) The product allocation procedure is the parent of the entire allocation process. All materials that are to be included in the allocation scheme are required to have an allocation procedure assigned to it in the material master. In addition, as of release 4.0, it is in the procedure that the method of allocation is defined. The user has the opportunity to set an indicator to identify their choice of two different methods (discrete and cumulative allocation) to evaluate the quantities to be considered for product allocation.
2.Allocation Object (OV2Z) The allocation object is the root level of the allocation process where actual data is entered and planned in LIS. The object allows the user to further break down a procedure into smaller parts for future validation of components comprising a specific material
3.Allocation Hierarchy Mapping (OV3Z) Primarily, this transaction permits the assignment of an allocation procedure to an LIS information structure. Secondly, a character is assigned to the information structure to permit collective planning. Finally, the user can assign a step level to the procedure and information structure to sequence the order in which allocation quantities are checked. This functionality allows the user the opportunity to check product allocation against several product allocation scenarios, before the required quantity is confirmed
4.Define Consumption Periods (OV5Z) The allocation consumption periods functionality is only valid if the allocation method flag has been set (OV1Z). If you have de-selected the method field, this functionality is not available. The consumption window indicates the number of past and future periods to be used in the allocation check.
5.Control Product Allocation (OV4Z) In order for the allocation process to function properly, allocation control records are created primarily to map allocation procedure steps to their corresponding objects so that the allocation data records can be located for validation. Secondly, validity periods must be established to indicate when the allocation control records are active. Finally, the user has the option of establishing a conversion factor per allocation control record to accommodate BOM listings of constrained materials
6.Activate Allocation for Requirement Class (OVZ0) In order to turn on allocation in the standard order processing functionality, the requirements class must have a flag indicating that allocation is relevant.
7.Activate Allocation for Schedule Line Category (OVZ8) In order to turn on allocation in the standard order processing functionality, the schedule line must have a flag indicating that allocation is relevant
8.Create Planning Hierarchy (MC61) In order to adequately establish allocation quantities, the user must initially determine the level at which the allocation is to take place and the aggregation factor of the allocation quantities. In this step, the levels for the collective allocation search procedure are also identified.
9.Generate Masking Character (OV7Z) Upon completion of the level determination for the planning hierarchy, the collective allocation masking character must be generated to allow aggregation indicators to be established. This transaction simply reads the hierarchy established in the planning table and then generates a collective mask character for each level of the hierarchy
10.Modify Planning Hierarchy (MC62) This step is a repeat of MC61 where the initial hierarchy was established. In order to complete the hierarchical set up, the collective allocation (mask character) hierarchy must now be maintained with the appropriate aggregation factors
11.Allocation Procedure Assignment to Material Master (MM02) At the root level of the allocation process are the materials. Each material that is to be considered in allocation scenario must be mapped to an allocation procedure. In order entry, then, when a material is entered with a valid allocation procedure in the material master, the allocation data is verified prior to confirming the line item ordered
12.List of Suitable Structures (OV9Z) This report is used to identify potential LIS information structures that can be used in the product allocation process. This report simply reads through the data dictionary and selects all the active information structures that contain the field product allocation object (KONOB) as the first field. This data can then be utilized in the mapping transaction (OV3Z) to link the allocation procedure step to an information structure (previous step).

I have just purchased and installed a new Airport extreme base station but now the Airport Utility cannot see my old Airport Express. Are their compatibility issues and do I need to purchase a new Express?
When you can, take a look at the old AirPort Express and locate the model number in the faint print on the side of the device.
If you see A1084 or A1088, this is an older Express version that is no longer supported by the current version of AirPort Utility that you are using with the new AirPort Extreme.
If that is the case, your Express is at least 6 years old...probably older...so it is about time to treat yourself to a new version with much faster speeds and more features.
