How can I monitor my monthly data usage for all 3 computers in my house? I have an Airport base station and it seems there should be software to monitor it from that point rather than monitoring the usage for each computer and then adding it up.

AirPort Base Station Agent active but I don't have an AirPort Base Station

hello.
Activity Monitor shows AirPort Base Station Agent active although I don't have an AirPort Base Station. I have a router named Speedport. Does my mac consider that an AirPort Base station, or is the Agent running idle (consuming 779,60MB Diks Space VM in vain) ?
thanks

It is my understanding that the AirPort Base Station Agent performs the function of checking for updates to the AirPort base stations by contacting the Apple distribution (akamai?) servers. There is a configuration setting in the AirPort Utility to enable/disable this feature. It is installed either by the CD provided with the base stations, or (I believe) it comes with the Leopard OS.

I have a 2nd generation shuffle and want to use it for my grandson. On connecting to iTunes it wants to download everything I have on iTunes automatically and I do not know how to get it to manual upload

I have a 2nd generation shuffle and want to use it for my grandson. On connecting to my PC it asks the question ". do you want to delete everything on the shuffle and replace with that on your iTunes". I do not want to do this I want to start again and manually add items. How do I get it to do this please

A 2G Shuffle can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. So if you are trying to connect and use the Shuffle with a new computer/iTunes library, you'll need tor restore it before you can begin syncing or manualy adding content to it from the new library.
So go ahead and restore the iPod and then configure it for manual management. See this article for more details on configuring the shuffle for manual management.

And here is more assistance on restoring the Shuffle as well if need be.

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

Is there a way to download itunes 10? I only have OS X 10.4 and want to use my new ipod nano which needs at least itunes 10. I currently have 9.4

Is there a way to download itunes 10? I only have OS X 10.4 and want to use my new ipod nano which needs at least itunes 10. I currently have 9.4

In order to run iTunes 10 you need OSX 10.5 or greater. You will have to upgrade your operating system, if that is possible. What you can do to upgrade will depend upon your computer and software you run. To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number.

Airport base station and connectivity problems

Hi all,
Heres what I know about my internet connectivity issues. I have a cable broadband (Motorola Surfboard) modem and I'm fine getting a connection when I am hooked directly from the modem into the back of my G4.
The wierd thing is that when I have my Airport (old school flying saucer shaped one) hooked up between my G4 and the modem I don't even get a signal on my tower any longer let alone my laptop. I have an ethernet cable running from the port on the base station with the circle of dots to my modem. I have a ethernet cable running from the ethernet looking port (arrows and dots) on the base station to the G4 tower.
What I don't get is why I wouldn't at least be still getting a signal to my tower? All of the appropriate lights on my modem are still lit up. I took it in a few days ago to an Apple store and the guy at the Genius Bar confirmed the Base Station is working fine. Why does my computer now not like being hooked up thru my base station? I've checked all of the network settings and all seems to be fine.
Any help or ideas will be appreciated. This is driving me nuts.
Thanks,
Vance

I may have misunderstood your original question. If you want to use both your older Airport as well as the newer dual band one, you certainly can, but first describe which model your older Airport is and what specifically you wish to accomplish by using both.
There's no advantage of keeping the older one in service unless one Airport base station is unable to create a wireless network with sufficient range for your needs. There are as many as three different ways of doing that depending on which older one you have: a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) which can only use 802.11b/g, an "extended" network, which can only be accomplished with an 802.11n network, or a "roaming" network in which the Airports are connected to each other using their Ethernet LAN ports. This last method is the most preferable, but obviously requires that you run a cable between them.
Use Airport Utility to configure the Extreme. Read about designing networks in the Apple AirPort Networks manual.
In any event you don't need to use both Airport base stations if all you want to do is have a wireless network that can serve both your iMac and your Powerbook. Any Airport base station Apple ever built can serve both. The newest Extreme just adds more features.

How can i use an airport base station and multiple airport expresses with U-verse and still use wireless tv boxes?

I just got uverse, and when I put my Airport Base Station in Bridge mode I lose access to the 4 airport express stations I have. Can anyone tell me how to turn off the u-verse wireless, set up a network with all the apple stations and still have wireless u-verse tv boxes work? Thanks!

Can I relocate the airport base station to downstairs and connect it to the Sawtooth there for receiving wireless from the Verizon router and broadcast further to its wireless network?
Sorry but no the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) will not wirelessly connect to the network provided by the Verizon FiOS router.
What you could do is get another AEBS, an AX, or a Time Capsule and place that downstairs. Then use that device to wirelessly connect to the wireless network provided by your current AEBS. If your current AEBS is not 802.11n capable then you would need to use WDS to make this happen. One bad thing about WDS is that each WDS link cuts your affective wireless bandwidth in half.

I used Airport Base station and I was able to extend my network using airport express and connect my printers. Now I am using Extreme and I can't extend the network (Express) or the printers nothing shows up. I am using utility 6.3 and Mt Lion What is

I had an Aiport Base Station and extended using Airport Express, where I also connected my printers (network). Now using Airport Extreme off Mt Lion 10.8.4 and Utility 6.3.
I can't extend the network (express) or connect my printers (USB) nor will it find my one wifi printer.
What's up?

For now, leave the AirPort Express powered off.
Power off the entire network....all devices.....in any order that you want
Wait a few minutes
Power up the modem first, and let it run 2-3 minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme next, and let it run a full minute
Keep powering up devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered up (leave the Express off for now)
Open AirPort Utility and check to see if the AirPort Extreme is visible.
If it's not, click the AirPort Utility menu at the upper left of the screen, then click About AirPort Utility. Post back with the version number of AirPort Utility that you see there....which should be AirPort Utility 5.6.1.
Post back on your progress.

Airport base Station and Wireless Web cams

I just tried to take a free CNET online course that purported to show me, step by step, how to set up a wireless Web cam with an Internet connection. Yea, right. I found that it was totally geared to PC users and almost no information was provided for us. Even the suggested hardware manufacturers (Linksys) said they didn't support Macs.
I have Airport card and base station and need to set up 2-3 outdoor security cams around a home in a remote location. Can anyone advise me along these lines?
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you considered using Security Spy? http://www.securityspy.com/
They claim to support many wireless cameras....but it doesn't appear Linksys is one of them. Linksys historically doest not provide any Mac support, and I have personally learned to no longer support companies that don't provide some type of Mac support. (I've been a fan of Linksys historically, untill recently)
I hope Security spy works for you - let us know how it works out.

Airport Base Station and Toshiba Notebook

I've got a Powerbook G4 and an HP Pavillion which both work just fine with the base station. However, we acquired a Toshiba Notebook and cannot connect to the internet. Signal Strength is excellent, internet connection is nonexistent. I'm wondering if there is an update that's designed to fix a compatability problem....?
I've had two extensive phone calls with Toshiba's tech support already...and they both thought that the problem was with the ip address (assigned by Apple). They suggested also, trying to find a wi-fi hot spot to see if we can connect. The problem is stated below:
- Caller advised that she cannot connect to the internet wirelessly.
- Asked the caller to turn ON wireless switch : its already turned ON
- Asked the caller to access wireless zero configuration : it is already started
- Asked the caller to look at available wireless networks
- Computer is connected but it does not have a valid ipaddress and default gateway.
- Asked the caller to do a power reset on the computer, router and dsl modem.
- Asked the caller to key in the network key to the network.
- Configured a static ipaddress : nogo
- Asked the caller to do an ipconfig : nogo
- Customer does not have another access point.
- Advised the customer to try to access a hot spot.
- Gave SR Number
Having the same problem with her Toshiba notebook that is dedicated to a wireless airport.
Verified call log history.
Do the diagnosis by checking the wireless network setup; signal is good;
Verified the ip, set to static; redo dynamic mode then repaired. But still unable to pull up a valid ip address even the signal is good.
Tried settin up a static ip came from the host but still no reply. Decided to redo the configuration including the ping test but still no reply.
Verified the firewall configurations, still off.
We are suspecting that the problem is concerning upon mac address registration for this notebook to your gateway.
Airport Base Station Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I am using WEP (haven't a clue what that means).
It means that you are using a password to secure your wireless network from unauthorised use.
I
found that info under my Wireless Security: 128 bit
WEP, My choices to Change Wireless Security do not
include something called HEX.
If you read the guides it will tell you how to find the HEx key for your 128bit WEP encryption.
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.
I have 3 choices:
Not Enabled
WPA Personal
WPA Enterprise
If your Toshiba supports WPA then I would recommend using WPA Personal in order to avoid the problems with the WEP HEX key. However your Macs must be running 10.3 or later to use WPA.
The Toshiba still won't recognize the
internet....but shows "excellent signal strength"
with my network.
Generally what this means that your Toshiab can see the wireless network, but is not connected to it.
At this point, I'm a little gun shy to try a change
to WPA Personal or WPA Enterprise....what is a HEX
Key, anyway?
The HEX key is the hexadecimal password of the plain text password you created for the Airport network.

Airport base station and Fios

I just got FiOS put in at my house. I used to have a cable modem and my airport base station worked fine with my G4 ibook. Well, I just got the fios installed and I hooked up my airport to it and I can't get it to work. The verizon provided modem/wireless router will work for my G4 ibook for a wireless signal. I was planning on getting a airport express for air tunes but if the extreme base station won't work I'm wondering if the express will work. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm not the saviest with computers and I'm fairly new to Mac but committed to Mac now. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, just follow the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

Airport base station and U Verse

Does anyone know how to get an Airport Base Station to connect wirelessly to an ATT U VERSE 2 WIRE modem?
I've used Airport Utility to get the Base Station to join my network but it never finds the ATT network.
Thank you,
Charlie

If your question is about configuring the AirPort Extreme to "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal from the Uverse wireless router, this is not possible unless the AirPort Extreme is connected directly to the Uverse router using an Ethernet cable.
The AirPort Base Stations can only "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal when there is also another Apple router providing the signal to be "extended".
Can you clarify how you are trying to configure the AirPort Extreme and what purpose it would provide on your network?

Airport Base Station and Windows Xp Laptops

I recently purchased an Airport Extreme Base Station. It needs to be set up for s set of students in an apartment. The connection is a DSL modem(?) via a static IP address. We managed to get it all setup and working with an Apple iBook, the wireless connection worked fine with the iBook, able to get at www.google.com etc. But the Windows XP laptops don't seem to work. They claim the signal strength is too low (they are within 2 feet of each other). When we initially set it up we used WPA personnel with a password, but the Windows laptop said something about a WEP 40 or 108bit key or password? So we switched the Airport Base Station to WEP... But no combination seems to work for the Windows laptops.
I had assumed that the Airport Base Station could provide wireless service to Windows XP machines. The laptops might be 1 yesr old? So it's not old equipment.
Are there some tricks or current issues with Windows XP getting wireless connections to Airport Base Stations?

For a Windows XP laptop to use WPA, not only must you be using SP2 your hardware must also support WPA.

I have an iPod mini 6GB and want to use it with a Sony CD Boombox but the adapter is different. Can it work?

I have an iPod mini, 6 GB and want to use it with a Sony CD Boombox but the adapter is different. Can it still work? Don't want to try and break iPod.

Do you mean that the iPod mini won't fit on the "dock" because of shape (of the iPod), or is the docking connection a different type from the "30-pin" dock connector on the iPod mini?

HT3728 have an airport base station, and want to use now sonos speakers.
