Some advice on Basestation setups from the Guru's please

At home I am about to extend an Airport network. I already have an Airport Extreme BS (old ) linked to the net via DSL. All works beautifully and the other Macs in the house can connect no problem apart from a lack of coverage. I need to extend the network to give coverage in the furtherest reaches of the house. To do this I have an Airport Express and an Airport Extreme N . I just want these to provide a link back to the Base station connected to the internet - nothing else.
I have searched forums and come up with all sorts of conflicting advice. I would really appreciate any guru's out there giving me some quick tips if possible ..... particularly in regard to how I define the remotes and get them into the network without conflict .... what do I initially do on the existing BS to bring the others on without conflict? What names/fields etc need to be consistent across each device ( channels? security? names? etc )
Any help will be appreciated.

I have a similar question and just want to be sure I'm on the right track. I have a DSL connection and Airport Extreme. We've had this for a couple of years and it works fine except for one room where we're about to add another Mac. All of the computers in the house are Macs so we don't have to worry about PC compatibility.
What is the easiest, most reliable way to add range to our Airport Extreme setup? Should we buy Airport Express and follow the directions in the messages above? Is there a better way to do this?
FYI, our Airport Extreme system works in this room, but the signal is very weak and frequently drops off completely. With a laptop, this just means walking the computer into another room. Getting a connection and then walking it back into the room with the weak connection. Usually the connection will hold once it is made. Hope that makes sense. Thank you for your help.

    Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

    It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
    You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
    Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

  • Error "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinsta

    I downloaded Photoshop Extended about a week ago... the second time I opened it, an error message came up saying "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application."  So I uninstalled it, then re-intalled it.  I was able to open it successfully after that - and I used it once.  I have just gone to open it again and it is reading the same error.  This is very frustrating - why is it doing this?  I don't want to have to unintall and reinstall everytime I want to use it.  Please help

    I want to bump this topic, again. So far the clues I've found are that there may be problems when the program was installed in one user account, and used in a different one. Perhaps there is a language setting, too. Can anyone give tips on this error for Mac, specifically Lion OS?

  • How to save SOME time machine Mac backups from the TM disk to other disk WITHOUT formatting the destination disk?

    Hi,
    How to save SOME time machine Mac backups from the TM disk to other disk WITHOUT formatting the destination disk?
    I have a Time Machine disk (A) including the backups of several different Macs (B, C, D & E) generated with an old Mac OS X 10.5.8 (iMac PowerPC) over the years.
    I have transferred the old Mac contents to a new Mac with OS X 10.8.3 using Migration Assitant. All OK.
    Now, I want to erase such TM disk A to use if for other purposes, but first, I would like to RECOVER the backups of some Macs inside it (D and E). Is that possible WITHOUT formatting the destination disk and selecting only some Macs from the TM disk and not the fulll TM disk? How?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply. I do not think that is messy, anway. I simply used the same external disk as Time Machine disk for different Macs. And that worked OK all the time for years.
    The ExternalTimeMachineDisk contains the folder Backups.backupdb
    which contains the following folders (each one corresponding to the Time Machine backup made from each Mac):
    Mac1
    Mac2
    MacBook1
    MacBook2
    In relation to my message above, is it possible to select specific files, folders or full Mac backups from such Time Machine disk and save them to other disk? How?
    Thanks.

  • Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted

    hi all,
    when i try to render a afx project from media encoder i get the following message
    "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted"
    i've read on the forum that this is due to an old installation of Premiere.
    I'm using a brand new computer. the only software installed is my cs5 master collection and the updates from adobe website.
    win7 pro
    i7
    16 gig ram
    cheers

    Hello, this is terrible problem, which i found in CS 6 softwares ...
    solution i found only working, is uninstall and reinstall full package.. but it is not all,
    you need to do BRAND NEW admin account in windows, and install it there.
    that means, i could not export after repair from encoder in my original account never more (!!)   .. this is really terrible way how to repair this issue, because :
    1.by reinstalling of software, client WASTE HIS TIME
    2.by necessity to begin work in another windows profile you again WASTE YOUR TIME because of learning and migrating all other profile modifications, which i see really unaccpetable. Adobe means, this solution of repair is ok, and they did not do till today any steps of creating some "clever" solution.
    I ask everybody, who will meet this issue in future, guys, please, complain about this situation, give "BUG Report" to them, and write "feature request" to them , in the way of creating some repair tool, which check actual  "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode, and REPAIR it automatically..  
       I am not IT, but ..does it seems so hard to create this ? Adobe IT developers should know their systems, and should create such utility tool really easy.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. i export anything by button "queue" from premiere to Encoder
    2. Encoder will start encoding
    3. Encoder does not show the window of media encoding (down left )
    Results: sound of sheep occur,
    in encoding error file is this reason of canceling the encoding :
    01/02/2014 10:10:48 AM : Encoding Failed
    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
    History of this problem and detailed description, HOW i did "repair" this. With wasting of app 2,5 days of my working time :
    1. after repairing "error 5" problem , i solved it by reinstalling the suite from the new admin user profile (profile B) . 
    I continued my work on my normal working windows profile . (profile A)
    Every cooperation (AE+Pr, export media via "queue" to Encoder) was working fine . . .
    2. suddenly it stop working (without knowing any possible reason - i did not do installations )
    and showed in error export log file :
    "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
    3.repair via procedure(procedure "a"):
    i did this procedure on the profile B (profile from last time installation of repairing problem error 5)
    I did these steps :
    a-uninstall master coll suite
    b-i used Adobe cleaner tool (remove ALL)
    c-removed raw directories in locations
    •C:\Program Files\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    •C:\ProgramData\Adobe
    d-removed these links from registry file
    •HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe
    •HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
    •HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe
    •HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Wow6432Node\Adobe
    e-restarted the PC
    f- newly installed the Master Coll CS6
    g-update the software
    result of repair of "3" : problem still exists
    4.Ok i find out after coordination with support, it should have been created  ANOTHER NEW admin account.
    4a:so i did the same procedure (uninstalling) in profile B
    4b: and then i created brand new admin profile (profile C)for INSTALLATION of software
    4c: restarted the pc (and did not updated it yet)
    result :
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile C) : export WORKS
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile B) : export WORKS
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile A) : export DOES NOT WORK ! ! !
    (in profile A, is possible to export some raw video material in encoder which is imported to it via "drag and drop)
    problem i see:, i have my basic profile A, which i am interested to work, because of all my directory modifications are in there..
    this issue should be some "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode.
    what i expect :
    to get from Adobe some repair tool, which automatically checks these connections and repair if necessary, without necessity of founding the new profile and reinstallation of whole software.. this is madness !
    what i do NOT expect from Adobe:
    to get from Adobe advice of kind : you have to reinstall full software in new admin profile. sorry , we do not know the solution, because we do not know, how do behave our software.

  • HT202152 I have tried updating my apps and software but it says my startup disk or hard disk is full. I deleted a lot of files and apps but they won't be erased from the trash. Please help

    I have tried updating my apps and software but it says my startup disk or hard disk is full. I deleted a lot of files and apps but they won't be erased from the trash. Please help.

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
              iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    In Photos:
              File ▹ Show Recently Deleted ▹ Delete All
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install the app in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    For ODS:
    security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
    For GP:
    security execute-with-privileges /A*/GrandPerspective.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password.
    The application window will open behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will eventually show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Desinger Workflow 2010: Unable to load workflow actions from the server. Please contact your server administrator?

    I am facing a problem from last some days..
    When I am trying to open/create/update workflows from Designer 2010, then designer giving me an error "Unable to load workflow actions from the server. Please contact your server administrator".

    So that I checked for permission for login user, but it has administrator rights. and I tried to open workflow by removing custom activity code, but still exist.
    also if I tried to create/update workflow for another site on same server then it works without any problem.
