What is the proper way to extend 2nd generation time capsule network to 2nd generation Airport Express?

I have a Simultaneous Dual Band Time Capsule. Up until now, I have been extending the network with the Airport Express (2nd Gen, the 802.11n model). Since it was not simultaneous dual band, it was extending over the 2.4 GHz band so as it could extend b, g, and n and support my iPhone at 2.4 n as well as my iPad and MacBook Pro at 5 GHz.
I just bought the new simultaneous dual band unit, which theoreticalkly should be able to extend both bands.
Now, it is not that simple. I also run a guest network, which I assume also gets extended when WDS is on. I also still have the old Express which I have relegated to another part of the house.
When I set up the new Express, it asked me which one of the networks I want to join, either <SSID> or <SSID 5GHz>, the automatically generated name for the the 5 GHz band on the Time Capsule. Which one do I join? How do I know that both are extended? When I connect to the <SSID 5GHz> now my iPhone can see that one and connect to it, so I am assuming it is NOT going at 5 GHz.
And I have no idea at all what the guest network is doing....
Does anyone have any insight into tthe proper way to configure all the units, and what I can expect? My network is as follows:
Airport Express (Simultaneous Dual Band)
Cable Modem > Time Capsule (Simultaneous Dual Band) >
Airport Express (802.11n, last gen)
I want to run guest network (hopefully simultaneous dual band) and personal network. I want the new express to run both bands just like the Time Capsule, and for the old express I want to know which of the two bands I am extending.
Thank You!

I also run a guest network, which I assume also gets extended when WDS is on
Unfortunately, the Guest Network cannot be extended.
When I set up the new Express, it asked me which one of the networks I want to join, either <SSID> or <SSID 5GHz>, the automatically generated name for the the 5 GHz band on the Time Capsule.
This likely indicates that the Time Capsule has been setup to use separate names for the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands, instead of the default, which uses the same wireless network name for both bands.
In order for the AirPort Express to be able to extend both bands, the Time Capsule will need to be configured so that both bands use the same wireless network name.
Then, configure the AirPort Express to extend the wireless network name of the Time Capsule, and it will extend both bands. At least, that is the way an AirPort Extreme works, and I assume that the Express is the same. I don't have an Express here to test, but will in another day or two.
The location of the Express is important, since the 5 GHz signals are not as strong as 2.4 GHz signals. You may need to experiment by placing the Express closer to the Time Capsule than normal. With an AirPort Extreme, I find that the Extreme must be located no more than about half the distance from the main router to the area that needs more wireless coverage.
If you continue to use the previous model Express to extend as well, it too must be configured to extend the wireless network name of the Time Capsule. Configured this way, the Express will extend the stronger of the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz signals, so it will likely extend the 2.4 GHz band unless it is located close to the Time Capsule.
To find out which band the previous model Express is extending, locate a Mac laptop close to the Express and hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the AirPort icon at the top of the screen. The info displayed will indicate whether you (and the Express) are connecting using 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.

I recently upgraded my OS to Lion 10.7.4. I also just upgraded from a 1st Generation Time Capsule to a 4th Generation Time Capsule. I have an Airport Express (Version A1264) that I formerly used to extend my wireless network. AE no longer works.

I have downloaded Airport Utility 5.6 to try and configure, but with no luck.

TC first gen was not simultaneous dual band. So.. it's probably best to factory reset your extreme and then tell it to extend again.

What is the best way to set up my time capsule with Existing Uverse

Hello,
I have read through some of the threads regarding the co-existence of Uverse and a time capsule. But it all seems very advanced to me. Here is what I'm wanting to do.
I currently have Uverse. I have the box in my living room attached to a wall outlet, via Ethernet. I have 3 TVs, all with Uverse boxes. Wirelessly, I have several devices connected to the Wifi at any given time. An iMac, 2 iPads, a MacBook Air, 3 iPhones, Apple TV, an XBox and 2 smart TVs.
So my Uverse Wifi pretty much stinks. It's not bad right in the livingroom where the box is, but in my bedroom and office it's pretty poor. When I try to watch Apple TV in the bedroom I end up watching a lot of spinning as it waits to connect:(
I was told at the Apple Store that a time capsule could help with that in addition to creating a back up of my computers. Excellent! So I purchased it. But here is my issue. My main iMac, the newest computer with the most up to date software, is in my office. But my Uverse equipment is in the living room with the TV. So do I have to hook up an Ethernet cable to both the Uverse AND my computer from the Time Capsule? Because they are rooms away from each other:( Is ther any way someone can take me through this step by step like setup for dummies?:) I would be so grateful!
Thanks!!

So do I have to hook up an Ethernet cable to both the Uverse AND my computer from the Time Capsule?
I'm not sure that I understand everything that you want to do and where devices will be located.
The Time Capsule must connect to the "main" Uverse router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection. An Ethernet cable can be run up to 300+ feet with virtually no loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule wherever you want.....unless you have a very large estate.
If you want the Time Capsule to strengthen the wireless signal provided by the Uverse router, then the Time Capsule must be located in the area where you need that additional signal strength.
If I understand your post correctly, you plan to install the Time Capsule in the office? When you do this, you can configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless signal that uses the exact same wireless network name and password as the Uverse wireless network.
That will provide a much stronger signal for your Uverse wireless network in the office area. Hopefully, the bedroom that you mention is close to the office, so it will pick up the stronger wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
The iMac in the office can connect to the Time Capsule using another short Ethernet cable connection, or the iMac can connect using wireless. A wired connection is always preferred, if possible.
At this point, I guess the first question would be.......
Do you have a location for the Time Capsule that will be close to the office....and...the bedroom where you want a stronger wireless signal?

Advice to extend range from Time Capsule - wireless and ethernet with Airport Express and Airport Extreme

Current wireless network is Time Capsule (connected to a Cisco router, 1GB switch to servers and printer 1) to Airport Express (wireless) and to Airport Extreme (wireless). Distance means poor signal at the Extreme which has 2 printers (ethernet cables) and an iMac (wireless)
Solution is to connect the Extreme to the Time Capsule via Cat 6 ethernet cable
How do I configure the TC and the Extreme?
I will keep the Express for a wireless extension to the TC

Wired Ethernet from the TC to the AirPort Extreme will result in much better performance. It sounds as if you are not configuring the AirPort Extreme correctly.
Please try the following steps carefully:
Unplug the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Exteme if it is not already unplugged. With the AirPort Extreme powered on, hold in the reset button on the Extreme for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Extreme to restart
Connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN "O" port on the Extreme.
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click on AirPort Extreme.
The example below displays an AirPort Express. You will see AirPort Extreme.
AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Extreme will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
Enter a device name that you want to use for the Exterme and click Next
Wait a minute while AirPort Setup configures everything for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
That's it. Pretty simple. Things should be working fine now.

What is the easiest way to transfer iPhoto to Time capsule?

I currently have my iPhoto content stored locally on my MacBook and I would like to transfer everything to my Time Capsule.
Since there are over 30G of photos, every time I attempt to start the transfer, the time to complete is well over 1 day. Any time the screen saver kicks in, the transfer stops.
Is there an easier way to do this?

If you decide to do this after reading below and double checking in the iPhoto support area.....
Turn off the screen saver on your Mac for the transfer.
30 GB should copy over in approximately an hour and a half if you are using a wired Ethernet connection.
But....before you do this....I suggest that you check with the experts in the iPhoto support area for reasons on why you would NOT want to do this
The primary reasons are:
1) If you move the iPhoto library to the Time Capsule, it will be on a network drive, and you are probably using wireless. Any interruption during the time that iPhoto is reading or writing to the libary can corrupt the entire library and render it unusable. If you decide to do this anyway, the Mac should be connected by Ethernet to the Time Capsule whenever you will be using iPhoto to minimize the chances of a writing error.
2) You have your "original" library on the Mac now, and likely your backup of the library on the Time Capsule. If you are using Time Machine now for backups, and you move the "original" library to the Time Capsule drive......you have no backup for the iPhoto library when....not if....the Time Capsule has a problem.
The solution is to add a USB or FireWire drive to your Mac and move the iPhoto library to that drive. This is a "safe" way to use iPhoto, which you can verify by checking with the iPhoto experts.
Time Machine will now backup both your Mac and the hard drive. So....you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another separate drive. When one drive fails, you at least have a backup copy on the other drive.

What is the easiest way to tell if your time capsule has backed up your hard drive, as my mac has been recalled for a replacement hard drive

Your views would be appreciatted, my imac has recently been recalled for a replacement hard drive, would it be easier just to purchase a external hard drive to be on the safe side for backing up my photos etc?
I have a 1GB time capsule but to be honest not sure how it operates it states it oldest back up is the 11th October
201GB of 998 available or would it best to buy a external hard drive and back up using this.
thanks
Benjoe08

You are very wise.. !!
It can be awfully hard restoring the Mac from TM.. as many posters here have discovered.
IMHO.. for certainty.. get an external drive.. they are not expensive.. do a full backup to it.
I would even download superduper and make a clone of the existing drive and boot from it.. this means when the Mac is returned if all else fails.. you can use the external clone as a boot and have exact OS as you have right now.

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

"Method Three
Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

What is the proper way to record line numbers in Master/Detail records?

Guys and Gals,
Been thinking about this for awhile, but thought it best to ask the people who really know what they are doing.
What is the proper way to record & show line numbers in a Master / Detail record set?
For example, take Master/Detail relationship Orders and OrderItems. Orders has a column Document_Number and OrderItems has Document_Number, Line_Number. Line_Number should contain the row number 1,2,3,4 ... etc. for each row in a document.
Should I ...
<ol><li>Add a sequence and a trigger in the database? The FusionOrderDemo does this, but then the sequence never "resets" and I've got row numbers that keep incrementing. So one document has rows 4,5,6 and the next document has 7,8,9 when they should both have 1,2,3.</li>
<li>Programmatically take care of the row numbers? This seems like I'm asking for trouble. Anytime an insert or delete operation gets done, I'll have to iterate through rows and re-assign row numbers.</li>
<li>Is there a way to assign row numbers in a table iterator (or data collection?) to an entity?</li></ol>
Any suggestions would be appreciated. It's looking like #2 is my only option, but if anyone knows different I'd love the input.
Will

Thank you both guys.
As John said, I believe I'm looking for a gap-free sequence per master record.
The line number of the OrderItems table is the second half of the primary key. The first half of the primary key (DocumentNumber) is the foreign key to the Orders table.
Think of it like line items on an order or invoice. For example, if you were talking to someone on the phone concerning an invoice, you might say, "The pricing for line item #3 is incorrect." In this case, it's good to have a common reference. Or imagine a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with no row numbers displayed! You'd never get anywhere if you had to explain something over the phone.
If this is tricky to perform, I take it using a sequence and trigger such as the Fusion Order Demo is the best way to approach the challenge for simplicity's sake?

What is the proper way to close all open sessions of a NI PXI-4110 for a given Device alias?

I've found that, when programming the NI PXI-4110 that, if a the VI "niDCPower Initialize With Channels VI" (NI-DCPower pallette) is called with a device
alias that all ready has one or more sessions open (due to an abort or other programming error) a device reference results from the reference out that has a (*) where "*" is post-fixed to the device reference where and is an integer starting that increments with each initialize call. In my clean up, I would like to close all open sessions. For example, let's said the device alias is "NIPower_1" in NI Max, and there are 5 open sessions; NIPower_1, NIPower_1 (1), NIPower_1 (2), NIPower_1 (3), and NIPower_1 (4). A simple initialize or reset (using niDCPower Initialize With Channels VI, or, niDCPower Initialize With Channels VI, etc.) What is the proper way to close all open sessions?
Thanks in advance. Been struggleing with this for days!

When you Initialize a session to a device that already has a session open, NI-DCPower closes the previous session and returns a new one. You can verify this very easily: try to use the first session after the second session was opened.
Unfortunately, there is a small leak and that is what you encountered: the previous session remains registered with LabVIEW, since we unregister inside the Close VI and this was never called. So the name of the session still shows in the control like you noted: NIPower_1, NIPower_1 (1), NIPower_1 (2), NIPower_1 (3), and NIPower_1 (4), etc.
There may be a way to iterate over the registered sessions, but I couldn't find it. However, you can unregister them by calling "IVI Delete Session". Look for it inside "niDCPower Close.vi". If you don't have the list of open sessions, but you have the device name, then you can just append (1), (2) and so forth and call "IVI Delete Session" in a loop. There's no problem calling it on sessions that were never added.
However - I consider all this a hack. What you should do is write code that does not leak sessions. Anything you open, you should close. If you find yourself in a situation where there are a lot of leaked sessions during development, relaunching LabVIEW will clear it out. If relaunching LabVIEW is too much of an annoyance, then write a VI that does what I described above and run it when needed. You can even make it "smarter" by getting the names of all the NI-DCPower devices in your system using the System Configuration or niModInst APIs.
Hope this helps.

What is the proper way to create a monotone image with real looking contrast?

Once I apply a color to my previously created black and white image everything looks washed out.
I have an artwork with 3D representation of the letterforms, casting shadows on the textured surface. Shadows are deep black. I need this artwork to be colored in gold. My client forwarded me the specs for the metallic gold which he got from the PANTONE. They are:Gold (871); Adobe 1998 RGB: 126-113-76
HSB*: 44 degrees-40%-50%
What is the proper way of applying those values to the desired image.
My idea was to make the image black and white and than create a monotone image with the above specs. In this case the image gets washed out as the darkest black in the shadows becomes this Pantone gold. Is there any other way?

A duotone will work, however you are going to want to work closely with your printer . Most printers will want the second color in CMYK (Possibly C60 M40 Y0 K100 instead of RGB values or specify a Pantone Rich Black (I personally like 6C)but it will cost you more for the wash up of both heads of the printer...
Go to Image>Mode>Duotone (image must be greyscale first for this to work) then add the desired colors to your ink scales.

What is the proper way to include search terms in your page

Say you have a web page that is about a certain topic and has information displayed on the page. What is the proper way to include terms that you would like this page to show up on a search for but don't necessarily want to display on the page?
I didn't know if including the search keywords at the bottom in small font with invisible color was the proper way.

I didn't know if including the search keywords at the bottom in small font with invisible color was the proper way.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! This practice will get your site banned or blacklisted from Search Engines. It is considered a Black Hat tactic to attempt to mislead search engine results in an effort to drive traffic to your site.
Instead, use plenty of keyword rich, relevant text and good semantic mark-up (h1, h2, h3) inside the body of your pages. In time, search engines will find you.

What is the proper way to deal with cascading triggers in AcroForms?

(this has already been posted in the Scripting forum. Due to the lack of response, I am coming here to the Land of C/C++ Developers)
What is the proper way to deal with cascading triggers in AcroForms?
My question refers to the forms in which there is a binary question such as:
"Are you interested in travel?"
When the user clicks "Yes", there are further questions whose interactive fields are dot.hidden (or "!"), depending on the answer.
So far, I can handle the 1-level cases fine, but my doubt is how to implement nested dependencies. For the sake of simplicity, I would prefer to define the cause-effect relationship once ("Every time the 'Interested in Travel' box is checked, the field 'International or Domestic' should be visible") and send some sort of message/trigger downstream.
I would like the right things to happen (cascading triggers included) when the "Clear Form" menu command is selected.
Are those desirable features available in JavaScript (the particular JS used by the traditional AcroForms)?
Maybe I should look into C/C++ programming?
TIA,
-Ramon

I guess my problem is that I have some basic college experience in digital circuit design, and would like the forms to be programmed and behave in the same fashion as digital logic.
The "Clear Form" menu item, of course, would be equivalent to the reset button.
Perhaps it is possible to hook my code onto the "Clear Form" menu item?

What is the Proper Way to place a Background Image inside a Div?

I have been searching Google and the Adobe forums for awhile now, and while there are very valid solutions to similar problems I found that none of them fixed the problem that I am facing. I blame myself and getting lost in this sloppy coding of mine, so part of my plan was to start my style sheet over from scratch.
My question, what is the proper way to add a background image into a div? I currently have the top div following the "header" css style, here is what I have typed into that sections:
<style type="text/css">
@import url("../twoColLiqLtHdr.css");
.header {
    width: 1000px;
    height: 300px;
    background-image: url(Assets/HeaderTemplate.png);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center;
The problem here is that the background image isn't even appearing. I would greatly appreciate any help, could anyone inform me on the proper way to doing this so that I can implement images in divs in the future without turning my coding in a down right mess?
Thank you in advance.

I apologize, I'm unable to post a link to the page just yet. This is a snip of coding for a website still in the making for the company I work for.

What is the Proper way to nullify the VECTOR after it's scope is over

I am using Vectors and Array lists at many places in my Web Application, It is neccessary to use them.
In some processes I m storing bulk amount of data into vector due to that the performance of my application will be decreased, for that I have to nullify the vector after it's scope is over.
To nullify I m using Vector v = new Vector()
v.clear().
The above method is suitable in case of simple object data like strings and other values.
But I wanna know that If I m using HashMap and storing bulk data in it and then I m storing each HashMap into vector, what is the proper way.
Does I have to iterate each object of HashMap from vector and set them as null and then set vector as null or directly I can use v.clear() method??
If any having any answer regarding my question then plz reply your each valuable reply will be appriciable.
Thanks in advance......!!

Each time in loop a new object of vector is created and each time I m nullifying it. Thats what I m doing.
Thats why I m nullifying it.
Even if I'll declare it out side the loop then also for the each iteration I have to nullify it cause what I m doing is I m inserting the data into database in each iteration of loop, So that I think it is must to nullify the objects each time.If it is constructed inside the loop then you do not have to nullify it. If it is constructed outside of the loop and you want to empty it for each iteration then just clear() it.
