How can I use my Ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections?  The Apple store clerk told me that travel express won't work in my hotel unless I also have a computer.

The issue with the Airport Express (or any of the Apple routers) is that you need the Airport Utility to configure it.  Airport Utility works on OSX and Windows, but not on the iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch.)  It will work, if you can preconfigure the Airport correctly ahead of time, but you'd be stuck if you did need to reconfigure while at the hotel.
You can use most any other router that is configured with a web page, which means you have a chance of configuring with Safari on the iPad.  If you want something somewhat portable, I use a "travel router" made by D-Link. The current model is the DAP-1350.  Other companies make similar travel routers, but I have no experience with the others.

  • I recently (Jan 2012) acquired a MacBook Pro (MBP) running 10.7.4 and an AirPort Express.  I also have an old PPC G4 tower (Digital Audio model) running 10.4.11.  The OS software on both machines is totally up to date.  AirPort Utility on the G4 is 5.4.2

    I recently (Jan 2012) acquired a MacBook Pro (MBP) running 10.7.4 and an AirPort Express.  I also have an old PPC G4 tower (Digital Audio model) running 10.4.11.  The OS software on both machines is totally up to date.  AirPort Utility on the G4 is 5.4.2 and on 6.0 on the MBP.  I bought a used AirPort card for the G4, I believe it is 802.11b compatible, and the wireless data rate is specified at 11 Mbps.  Being a newbie to wireless, it took me many days to get these two machines to link up.  This network is not connected to the internet, and there no other networks in the vicinity.
    My last problem to solve is the very slow file transfer speeds between the two machines. The transfer time seems to vary depending on which machine I use to initiate the transfer, and which direction the transfer is going.  For example: If I initiate the transfer from the G4 and send a 5.4MB file to the MBP it takes 1:32 (min:sec), while the same file going from the MBP to the G4 takes 27 seconds.  On the other hand if the transfer is initiated on the MBP, going from the MBP to the G4 takes 2:56, while going from the G4 to the MBP takes 1:59.  I realize that these times are not actual wireless transfer times but includes the entire transfer process.
    Both machines and the AirPort Express are within a 4-foot radius.  Both machines are set to radio channel 2.  The AirPort Express is set for 802.11n(802.11b/g compatible) with WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    BDAqua,
    Thanks for the response.
    Apple has used the term "Digital Audio" to identify this machine.  System Profiler has the following information:
    Machine Name:          Power Mac G4
      Machine Model:          PowerMac3,5
      CPU Type:          PowerPC G4  (2.1)
      Number Of CPUs:          1
      CPU Speed:          800 MHz
      L2 Cache (per CPU):          256 KB
      Memory:          768 MB
      Bus Speed:          133 MHz
      Boot ROM Version:          4.3.3f2
      Serial Number:          XBxxxxxMK9
      Sales Order Number:
    Yes, I could connect them by ethernet if all I wanted to do was transfer files, but I would like to network them so I could use wireless internet.  The machines are not always so close together, I did that to simplify the testing.  With the very slow transfer speeds I am reluctant to move ahead with the internet step.

  • How can I put OSX 10.7 on a new Macbook Air. Maverick no longer allows "open file in a new window" and I really miss it. At the Apple Store they told me it can't be added to the new OSX 10.10 so I  want to change the OSX on the new Macbook Air and it

    I have been using a 2012 Mac pro to do HD video editing. I bought a new portable Macbook Air only to find that Maverick no longer has "open files in a new window" which I use all the time in the very large folders of video clips and royalty-free music. I asked at the Apple Store how I could get this back on the Macbook Air and they said it couldn't be done so I thought I would re-format the HD and install 10.7 on it and was notified by the Macbook Air I can't put 10.7 on that computer. Apple use to give this as an option but now they have gone more to the attitude of "Do it our way or go to ****!" In anger I went out and bought a Dell Laptop and Pinnacle Studio 17 which I have been learning to use. I have been an Apple/Mac user since 1979 and would still rather do my video editing on a Mac. Is there any way that I can force the Macbook Air to let me load in OSX 10.7 where there is still the option to  "open files in a new window" or is there a way to add this to Maverick? The experts at the Madison, WI Couldn't give me any help on this.

    Choose Preferences from the Finder menu, click on the General tab, and uncheck the box to open folders in a new tab.

  • Does the apple store sell sim to thoes who what to use there phone as a i pod ?

    so i got the i phone 6 for christmas and i want to use it as an i pod and i dont have a sim cart and its a unlocked phone ... do u know if the apple store has a sim card just to acctivate stuff like this ? or where i could find a sim WITHOUT any plan ?
    ***i am not able to bypass the acctivation so i need help ! 
    please help

    Not to my knowledge. They do not have a supply of SIM cards. Do you have a cellular phone at all? Do you have a friend with one that has the same size SIM as the phone you have? You can use one of theirs. Why would someone get you an iPhone as opposed to an iPod if you do not have a cellular account?

  • HT3775 I added compressor form the apple store to quicktime but I still can't play files that compressor is supposed to play

    I added compressor form the apple store but Quicktime qill not play video files tha tthe compressor description says it will play.  Suggestions?

    I've deleted all the .wma files.  I used "Switch" to convert all my music to .aac.  When I first bought the macbook I'm using, I hooked up my external backup disc and copied all my music to the macbook.  All the music was ripped over the years in .wma format.  So I have a folder named "music".  Under that folder, I have a folder named "CDs".  Under the "CDs" folder I have all teh folders for each artist of the CDs I ripped, and then under teh artists' folder are teh album folders.  I think it is represented like this (example for my dropkick murphys cds): music>cds>dropkick murphys>going out in style.
    So I first drag and dropped the entire "CDs" folder.....nothing
    Then I draged the album folder.....nothing
    Then I dragged and dropped the individual .aac song......nothing
    Thanks for the help.

  • What do I do if I lost my power cord to my iPhone 5 and there are no lightning cords or adapters available in my city or on-line at the apple store for 2-3 weeks?? My phone is going to die - I have no way to get the new power cord.

    I got the new iPhone 5 last week and have been happy with it. I went to the apple store on-line a few days later to order some adapters for the power cord, so that I could use it with my alarm clock and dock at work - although they are back ordered until nov.  yesterday I lost my lightning power cord and there are NONE available in my city and the apple store is till out of stock for at least a couple of weeks.  My phone now has 10% battery and losing last - what can I do to power my phone???? I use it for work, I need to have it working and available butndont seem to have any options.  Please let me know if there is another device I can use to power my phone!!

    Sorry to tell you but unless you have a Retail Apple Store close by, they are the only ones I have found with all the adapters and accessories. I bought an extra lightning to usb adapter the other day to use in my truck. Good luck....

  • My iPad's screen is crashed. And there is no apple store in my country. What can I do ???

  • New Firefox 4 - Question is anyone also have an issue with it unlocking the lock in my network preferences on Imac?

    This happens every time I start my computer - I check my Airport Status and find that the pad lock is un locked - this is new since I installed the new Firefox 4. Was previously on Firefox.
    Has anyone else reported this problem?

    I've seen this, as well, on an iPhone 4s.  Eventually the high-data-usage went away, seemingly on it's own (and after calling AT&T a couple of times to get the overage removed from my bill).
    Having said that, one thing to check is to turn "Documents & Data" off...  Settings>iCloud>Documents & Data.  I'm thinking this can push and pull a lot of data to/from iCloud very quickly.  Photos under iCloud might do the same...
    Hope this helps...

  • TS1702 I cannot acces the apple store if any application before I can download

    How to resolve my problem
    I cannot acces apple store

    Your question in combination with all of the tags that you are showing makes this difficult to understand for me anyway. Exactly what are you trying to do? Are you trying to access your own App Store in your own country?

  • Will the apple store fix a phone that has been dropped and will no longer turn on?

    I dropped my iphone. The screen shattered, but the phone worked for about 30 min. After 30 minutes the phone won't turn back on.  I can tell that the screen is loose from the housing on the upper left side of the phone. The phone is an Iphone 6 16gb gold.

    Take it to an Apple Store and avail yourself of the out of warranty replacement option.
