How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.
What I'm looking to do is to have self powered in ceiling speakers in every room in my house with out having to run wires to every room to carry the audio signal. I would like to use the airport express to do the job of carting the audio signal.
Here's my set up now I have an airport extreme and one airport express that I use to carry audio to one room.

FWIW. I have used up to four AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for streaming sucessfully in pretty much the way you have described. I didn't have a need to try more so I can't attest that more would or would not work.

  • How many internal HDs can I add to my G4 AGP tower?

    Hi all,
    How many internal HDs can I add into my G4 tower? I want to buy and use a SATA controller PCI card to break the 137 mb barrier and add 3 or more hds for my graphics art files, video and music files. Sort like a server right?
    Thanks

    Hi, Web dude -
    What do you mean by this? They have power packs plugged to them and they're plugged in a strip?
    Yes.
    The firewire bus is designed to be able to provide power for use by an attached device, in addition to providing a data pathway. There is a limit as to how much power can be provided by that bus. Such power is used by the device to operate its mechanics - in the case of a firewire hard drive, to run the motor that spins the platter(s) in the drive.
    Many, if not most, firewire devices can also be powered by using a separate power supply, often an external transformer although some may have that transformer built in. This necessitates a separate connection to line power, typically to an outlet on a power strip or surge suppressor strip.
    When I ordered each of my firewire drives, I also ordered the optional power supply for it. This makes each drive non-dependent on the Mac for operating power.
    How should I prevent over heating my G4?
    As far as keeping a Mac from overheating, the primary defense is to keep it clean inside. Dust is both an insulator and a restrictor of airflow. Using canned air regularly to blow dust out of the inside of the Mac, and to clean its fans, goes a long way to keeping it from overheating. Using a vacuum cleaner is not recommended - it's too easy for the nozzle to bang into something, and the airflow going into a plastic nozzle can create static electricity, which you do not want around any printed circuit board.
    Keep the machine itself adequately ventilated - it needs a reasonably unrestricted supply of fresh air. If you place the tower on the floor or under a desk, make sure there are several inches of free space between the case and any obstructions. Usually, keeping it on a desktop reduces the amout of dust it will ingest.
    In addition, whenever possible use external power for a device - this applies to firewire and USB devices.
    Hard drives generate a fair amount of heat. G4 desktop models are designed to accommodate up to four internal hard drives, though it is possible to install more than that. If you go beyond four internal drives in a G4, consider replacing the fans with ones with a larger capacity to handle the increased heat load.
    If you replace the CPU, be sure you follow the instructions with the new one re making sure the heat sink on the new processor is installed correctly.

    many thanks for your time

    You need to turn off the option to copy content to the iTunes folder in iTunes preferences, then when you add new content to iTunes you will need to place the content on one of the HDDs and then drag and drop it onto iTunes from a finder window.
    Or you can alternatively leave the "Copy" option on and simply press the Alt-key when dragging and dropping content to momentarily suspend the "Copy" of the dragged content to the library. (I.e., iTunes will gladly manage both copied and non-copied content as long as you do not move or delete the non-copied files at the Finder level after adding them to the iTunes database.)

  • How many apple TVs can you have on one network 5, 10, 15, infinite?

    I have an application where there are many rooms and I would like to be able to use Airplay in each room, can I buy 10 or more Apple TV units and put them all over my house on my wireless network and be able to airplay to any one of them? What is the limit of Apple TVs that I can have in one area. Has anyone tried this? How many have you maxed out at? What is the limitation?

    There is no specified limitation but you will encounter a practical one. It will be a function of the numerous and generally unpredictable variables that affect any wireless network.
    Ten Apple TVs is certainly within the realm of possibility though. This post reports success with fifteen of them.

  • HT4623 How many email addresses can I add to my Apple account for iMessage?

    I also became sober recently. And the frustration of not being able to uniquely identify which country, and  they didn't know what we're doing.

    Thanks Demo!
    I know that last sentence makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER. I was dozing off when I made this post. What I was trying to say was: "The frustration of not being able to uniquely identify which device is being used is driving me to drink!" Ha Ha

  • HT4259 How can I extend a wireless network from a 2Wire modem by usingan Airport Express? Years ago I could do this just by plugging in the (old) Airport Express. TIA Travelmonger

         How can I extend a wirelss network from a 2Wire modem using an Airport Express? Some years ago using the old Express I was able to do so simply by plugging on the Express witha minimum of tweaking. Still the same?
    TIA
    Travelmonger

    Still the same?
    Unfortunately, no.
    Apple's newer "Extend a wireless network" feature was designed to only work with other Apple products, so it would be extremely unlikely that it would work with a 2-Wire device if you plan to extend using wireless only.
    If you plan to connect the AirPort Express to the 2-Wire device using a wired Ethernet connection, the Express can be configured to provide more wireless coverage that way.

  • How many 7920 phones can be supported on one Cisco 1131AG access point?

    hi all,
    who knows that how many 7920 phones can be supported on one 1131ag AP? Thanks a lot...

    Hi Alomar,
    Hopefully this info will help;
    Number of 802.11b Phones per AP
    Before any discussion about network planning can take place, it helps to understand the basics of the overall network capacity.
    The following network capacity guidelines apply to sizing the Wireless IP Telephony network:
    No more than 7 concurrent G.711 calls per AP.
    No more than 8 concurrent G.729 calls per AP.
    Note These design recommendations assume that Voice Activity Detection (VAD) has been disabled on the Cisco 7920 Wireless IP Phones. Use of VAD on the Cisco 7920 phones can conserve bandwidth, but Cisco recommends that you disable VAD on all Cisco CallManager servers to provide better overall voice quality.
    In addition to determining how much bandwidth is needed for an 802.11b VoIP call, you must also consider overall radio contention for a particular RF channel. The general rule is that you should not deploy any more than 20 to 25 802.11b endpoints per AP. The more endpoints you add to an AP, the more you reduce the amount of overall bandwidth and potentially increase transmission delays.
    The maximum number of phones per AP depends on the calling patterns of individual users (based on Erlang ratios). Cisco recommends no more than 7 concurrent calls using G.711 or 8 concurrent calls using G.729. Beyond that number of calls, when excessive background data is present, the voice quality of all calls becomes unacceptable.
    From this doc;
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/products_implementation_design_guide_chapter09186a00802a0a05.html
    Hope this helps!

    How many wireless devices can connect to an Express which is wired and extending an Extreme network?

    That is great news I have A1392s. One more question...
    If I have an Airport Extreme setup as a router and feeding internet from a modem/ I wire an express (A1392) and "create a wireless network" the airport utility puts the express into bridge mode automatically.
    How many wireless clients can I connect simultaneously to the express?
    How many wireless clients can I connect simultaneously to the extreme assuming I am using all 50 at the express?
    In other words, Could I have 50 wireless clients connected to each device simultaneously giving me a total of 100 wireless clients?

  • How many wireless devices can be connected at once to an airport extreme?

    How many wireless devices can be connected to an airport extreem at one time? I have 4 iphones and 2 ipads, a goolge chrome and 4 wired devices.

    Any AirPort Extreme produced since 2008 will support up to 50 wireless devices and 150+ wired devices simultaneously, so this should accommodate most users in most homes.

  • How many motions tweens can you have on a timeline?

    I'm a college student in Seattle.  We just had our mid-terms in Flash CS5.  One of the really simple questions was "How many motion tweens can you have on a timeline."  Yup.  The answer is one...... or is it?  I had a long discussion with my tutor (who is the greatest tutor in the world) and he wanted to think about it. I said to him that I thought that one motion tween was wrong because you can click on an object in the timeline, make it a motion tween, and double click it and make several motion tweens.  So, essentially, you can have more than one motion tween on a timeline.  Is anyone able to advise me because this is all about grades!

    You can have quite a few motion tweens on a timeline.  You can even have them happening simultaneously (I don't know of a specific limit), as long as they are all on their own layers.  Though the more you add simultaneously the more they can weigh down the speed of things running.
    If you need to prove this to someone, the easiest way is to create it and demonstrate it.  But you may want to check the exact wording of the question... it would not be beyond an examiner to throw a trick question in.

  • Is there a limit to how many ipods you can have on one computer?

    We have 5 iPods between myself, my spouse and my kids. I manage all of our music, video and games from my iMac. I am planning to purchase the new 3G iPhone on Friday. Is there a limit to the number of devices that I can have on my iTunes account? I seem to remember getting some kind of message about 5 account authorizations when I first synced my most recently purchased iTouch. Are "accounts" related to the computer or the iPod devices?

    The "five" limit is for +number of computers+ using an iTunes Store account. It has nothing to do with the number of iPods connected to a computer.
    As far as I know, you can have as many iPods as you want connected to a single computer and one iTunes installation. There may be a computer limitation in how may iPods you can connect simultaneously, but there should not be a practical limit in how may iPods can be associated with your iTunes installation.
