Start with a "hard reset" (see below) then use AirPort Utility to configure it.
When asked what you want to do with it, indicate that you want it to add to an existing network, similar to the following screenshot.
Follow the prompts that will eventually lead you to the words "wirelessly extend..." as shown.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

Hi, I live in the UK and have an ipad2 with wifi (no 3G). I plan to visit Canada in the summer and want to know how i can access the internet while i'm away e.g. can i purchase a 3G attachment that will give me access on a pay as you go basis. Thanks.
You can get Mifi devices (the iPad connects to it via wifi and they then give access to 3G networks). I've never used one and I don't know if they are available in Canada (and if so how much they would cost). If you have an iPhone then you could also use that as a mobile hotspot

Can i get the time capsule to automatically back up my file from my Mac Book Air but have certain files which are only stored on the time capsule and not the computer? Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?

You can, but how are you going to back up those other files? When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
Not sure what you mean. You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. -
I have purchased MOVIES from Apple iTunes and want to know how I can burn them to my DVD so I can watch/view the movies on my TV's located in my house? Pls post what you know or works for you - I see the movies on iTunes but am unable to locate them in any folder on my computer??? Thank you!
PeteSo what is meant here is spend more money - wrong answer.
For that reason most people prefer to buy movies on DVD. They are easily shared, foolproof, and super easy to use. I love Apple TV and iTunes for music and TV shows, but I would never purchase a movie that was not on an optical disc.
When I head out-of-town I can grab a couple of DVDs to watch on my new MacBook Pro during the flight. Easy and uncomplicated.
DVDs offer another advantage. You can watch your movie without depending upon a complicated and delicate infrastructure. Also, movies are frequently censored for political correctness (Star Wars is a recent example). Despite public pressure for a release, the Disney movie “Song of the South” remains banned. Even cartoons like Johnny Quest are now censored. Only people who purchased physical copies years ago have them as they were originally produced.
When you possess a physical copy of the movie the PC patrol can't mess with it. -
My brother and i both just bought iphones and want to know how we can both have one itunes account and share our music. our phones are on the same plan and i am paying for the bill. so my question is is this possible?
Yes. It is possible. Just sign in to your Apple ID on both of your iPhones in the App Store.

I want to know if I can pair my MacBook with Apple TV. I tried doing it but have not been succesful.
I have a Mac Book Pro 2008
I have my MBP paired with Apple TV and use it all the time
My only complaint is that when I use the Apple TV remote it sometimes turns things off and on in iTunes.
Besides all the options from Apple TV I can listen to anything on my mac over my TV surround system thru Apple TV -

I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either. I have an iphone 4 that will not connect to 5ghz.
thank you!Your AirPort Express is already providing two separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, but each band is using the same wireless network name.
This is the default setup for the AirPort Express, which is recommended for most users. The theory here is that devices will automatically connect to the best quality signal based on their capabilities and distance in relation to the AirPort Express.
It is possible to assign a different name to the 5 GHz band, and then "point" devices at that network to connect. Some users swear by this option.....(I am not one of them).... but you might want to give it a try to see how it works for you.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Express
Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
Click Wireless Options near the bottom of the next window
Enter a check mark next to 5 GHz Name.....which will automatically add "5 GHz" to the network name....so you can identify it
Click Save, then click Update and wait a full minute for the Express to restart
Now you will need to "point" your 5 GHz capable devices at the 5 GHz network name. 2.4 GHz devices will connect to your "other" network name. -

If you call Apple at 1 800 MY APPLE, you can get a set of retail replacement discs of OS X 10.5 Leopard.
Apple is supplying these on white DVDs for less than $20.
You'll need to give them your Mac's serial number.

I have a iMac and want to know if I can add an additional hynix memory to it? It currently has one with an open slot next two it.
You can install up to 6 GBs of RAM. You have two RAM slots so you could max out the machine by installing one 2 GB module and one 4 GB module. The largest supported module is 4 GBs, but you could use only one. Best memory performance would be attained by installing two 2 GB modules to provide 4 GBs of RAM. Installing two matching modules implements dual-channel memory that will provide a small increase in memory speed.
Sorry for my memory: Good places for RAM are OWC and DataMem. You do not have to use Hynix RAM. Any RAM will be fine as long as it meets the computer's requirements which are outlined in the section of your use manual for adding memory. -
I have a 3rd generation iTouch with IOS 5.1 (won't update any higher) and a new iPad LTE with a definitely higher IOS. I didn't plug the new one yet because I want to know...can I keep my apps, email, photos on both devices? And also can I update my apps on the iPad without causing problems (some apps won't update on my iTouch because the IOS is not 6.0). Thank you.

I have just bought a car with bluetooth and want to know how to use my iphone with it
I bought a car with bluetooth facility and want to know how to use use iphone with it
First, you will need to navigate to the bluetooth interface in your car. Generally, this is something built into the navigation system/entertainment system. Look for an item that says either settings or communication, or bluetooth. If you are having trouble, refer to your car's manual. Next, go to settings, general, bluetooth and change the switch to on. Follow the onscreen instructions in your car until you see something like waiting for device or this is now discoverable or something like that. Your car or some sort of weird name should now appear under the devices list in the bluetooth settings. Now, the car should give you a passcode to type into the phone (it may or may not do this). Type this in and/or follow the rest of the onscreen instructions.

Under Snow Leopard I used a WD My World NAS to back up my Mac Pro (Mid 2010). When I upgraded to Lion I am unable to access the backup because the NAS does not yet support AFP. I have now bought a Time Capsule and want to transfer the old backup onto it.
How can I recover the NAS back up to put on my new Time Machine.
Talking to Apple Support Adviser was a waste of time on case number 239647273
Any thoughts or pointers?Keep the old OS around and just kick the tires and test new OS. Apple has a history and habit of breaking support in things like this.
You can use TimeMachine as one level of backup, and even there there were changes with Lion, I would always recommend foremost backup clones of every volume. And clone (SuperDuper etc) can be stored on something like HP NAS Media Server which also was supporting TimeMachine, iTunes - until Apple made that harder and more their own proprietary format.

Cloning as a Backup Strategy
Rather than "upgrade" I would clone the system, and do a clean install, then allow Setup Assistant to import your files.
