A way to use G network devices with 5ghz 'N' network devices?

Hi guys,
I recently setup my new Airport Extreme in 5ghz 'N" mode - it shares a hard drive with all my Macs, and it streams large movies (some HD) to Macs, and to my Apple TV. I love the pure 5ghz N mode for its speed - it enables me to get the same internet speed result tests on my MBP from my 24meg ADSL connection i got when wired directly to the modem (the wireless G modem the company sent out halfed the speed i could get via a wired connection!)
Anyway, of course the down side to this is no 'G' network clients cna join the 'N' network, which means my old 2.5ghz G5 is too outdated, our iPhones dont support it and i cant share the printer with my newer macs wirelessly with my 'G' only Airport Express.
So my iPhone could connect to the net i left the wireless router my broadband supplier sent me in G mode - and it connects to my Airport Extreme very simply via ethernet.
Of couse this doesn't solve My G5, allow my iPhone to work as a remote for Macbook/Apple TV or share my printer...is there anyway possible with my airport express to set up a wireless 'G' network which can somehow "talk" to the 'N' network if i wire them together via ethernet?
Id imagine this is a long shot with regards to Apple remote functionality but i dont want to lose the pure 'N' speed i need, and i would like to use apple remote and obvioulsy be able to print to my printer without having to disconnect the N network and join the G network.
So anyway in bridge mode the airport express can talk to the airport extreme and run two seperate speed wifi networks?

Yes, this is known as a "Dual Band" network.
Setting up a "dual band" network is described in the Designing AirPort Networks document, starting on page 48.

Has anyone figured a way to use the Magic Trackpad with Windows 7 on a partitioned disc using Bootcamp?

Has anyone figured a way to use the magic trackpad with Windows 7 on a partitioned disc using Bootcamp?

Yes. After Windows/Bootcamp discovers your bluetooth device (Magic Trackpad or Mouse, be sure to make it discoverable), right click, with your wired mouse, of course, on the icon and select Properties.
Then check the mouse drivers box and your device should work. (I located this solution on another thread)
It works for both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad.
Must admit, the solution was not intuitive within the Windows environment. But we all must remember. It IS Windows, after all.
Another thing. Keep in mind that the gestures on these devices that work just dandy in OSX do not carry over into Windows.
It's Windows.

Just upgraded to Mavericks and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported. Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks?

Just upgraded my 2009 iMac (3.06 Ghz, core 2 duo $GB 1067 Mhz DDR3) to Mavericks OSX 10.9.5 and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported. Printer says the software was improperly installed. Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks or do I need to go back to Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard?

It's not clear whether your printer is included in the Apple list - there is an Officejet 6100 and a couple of other types. Go to the page linked to above and use the browser search for 6100.
I'm afraid HP are notorious for not supporting older printers - I had the same problem. Probably they hope you will buy another printer (I did, but it was a Canon). I did look on HP's site and couldn't see a driver - you could give it a try (make sure you have the exactly correct printer name):
http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/support-search.html?tab=1#/qryterm=HP6100&search_search type=s-002
Alternatively ou could try Gutenprint (open source software):
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
I found it would indeed drive the printer, but the colour dithering wasn't very satisfactory and the duplex printing bolt-on wouldn't work. However as Gutenprint is free it's worth trying to see if it's any good for you.

Is there the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 or later?

hi
Do anyone know the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 later or substitutional way to highlight a PDF file as well as highlight file?
I want to highlight some words by indicating character's location(from n to m) using Acrobat Reader 6, 7, 8, and 9.
I use highlight xml file to highlight words in Acrobat 6, 7, and 8.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdfs/HighlightFileFormat.pdf
According to this documents, "External Window Handler Plugin" is required to use highlight file.
But I cannot find this plugin in Acrobat Reader 9.
So Acrobat Reader doesn't recognize highlight file.
Well, I know that there is another way to highlight pdf file. It is called "PDF Open Parameters".
However this parameters cannot indicate location of characters but words which is to be searched.
This parameter does not work perfectly to substitute a highlight xml file.
To satisfy what i want to do, the best solution is that Acrobat Reader 9.0 recognizes highlight xml file.
But I think it is impossible because of lack of plugin.
Do anyone know the way to recognize a highlight xml file to 9.0 or another way to highlight some words?
thanks,
Asatamax

The feature is disabled by default in reader 9
(1) Open Adobe Reader
(2) Click Edit > Preferences > Search, and
(3) check the box labelled Enable search highlights from external highlight server.

I can't imagine why Adobe choose to disable it. It's a bad joke for us at UNESCO (http://unesdoc.unesco.org)

Very very poorly..
It can join a wireless network..
See instructions here.

End result is super slow wireless connection to the TC and all packets pass through the hotspot so expect internet to drop to nothing while you are backing up.

Best or proper way to Use a Mophie Helium with iPhone 5s

What would be the recommended way to use a Mophie Helium with a iPhone 5s? Use the phone battery as primary and recharge from the Mophie as needed or use the Mophie battery first and then the iPhone? The later is what Mophie shows in their ops manual but I would like to hear Apples opinion on the issue.

Based on this http://www.mophie.com/shop/iphone-5/juice-pack-helium-iphone-5, it would not appear that using the Morphie first is what is recomended. since it is essentailly a charging mechaism, frankly, that wouldn't make any sense.
BTW: this is a user-to-user forum, so Apple will not offer an opinion here.

I have been using 3 devices with my wireless network, and suddenly none of them work. I've tried turning off the modem and router but that hasn't fixed the problem.

I've been using iPhone, iPad and MacBook with my wireless network, and suddenly, none of them will connect. The first sign I had that there ws a problem was when I was asked multiple times to re-enter the password, but regardless of how many times I did so it wasn't successful. I've tried turning off and on the moden and router but that doesn't help. Suggestions please?

go into the routers setup and redo the setup like it have disabled the whole wifi system
how you set it up depend on the router you own consult the manual or go to the router maker's website

Using HH2 as WAP with Infinity and Android devices

We have just had Infinity installed.
Before Infinity I had two HH2s set up as waireless access points using the guide prodiced by Keith of this neighbourhood. They conected back to the HH3 via two TP-Link powerlink units. It all worked well. I never got round to resetting the SSID to the same on all 3 hubs which meant as you moved from one side of the house to the other you have to choose a different router.
BT set up Infinity today and it was working fine with my original setup however on the spur of the moment I decided I would change the SSID for all three hubs (two original HH2s and the new HH5).
I started with HH5 and it worked fine. I then worked my way around the other two HH2s and it seemed to work for a while and then suddenly when I was in the same room as the HH5 my Android tablet could not get the internet. Logging into the IP address for the HH5 it showed that it was connected. The blue linelight was on. The internet radio in the cooking room was connected and working, presumably connected to the nearest HH2.
I reset the wireless settings on the HH5 but still my tablet and my Android phone got the error page saying that there was no internet connection. After diconnecting a couple of times I eventually got the Android tablet connecting to both the HH5 and to the common SSID now shared by the HH2s. My phone wont connect at all.
As a test I then connected my work laptop via a cable connection to a TP-Link and it worked fine. I then connected it via the commn SSID (HH2 only) and the HH3 SSID and agin it works fine. This thread is created on WiFi to the common SSID.
Sorry for the long description.
Two questions:
1. When setting the common SSID I used the same passkey for all three routers, was this the best way to do it?
2. Why has my Android phone lost connectivity and how do I recover it?
PS 3rd question, why wont this forum accept the word "kit c hen"?
PPS I've just checked on the settings within HH5 and the phone is showing as connected but to the 2.4GHz signal.

There are a couple of different guides on my website, one of them is by Jarviser, so I don`t know which one you are using.
If you make all the SSIDs the same, then Android devices tend to get confused, as they see the same SSID, but with a different BSSID (Wireless MAC address).
This can cause them to fail to get a valid IP address, so you get no connectivity, this is a common issue with BT Wifi hotspots as well, when Android devices are used.
It would be better to use slightly different SSIDS, and then allow the devices to automatically select the one that is in range.
Make sure that the HH2s are on different channels, and make sure that smart wireless, and smart setup is disabled on the HH5.
To answer your last question, its part of the spam protection that was implemented on this forum a while back.

Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter - With any driver: "The device instance name is invalid"

Hello there,
I was trying to install various "Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter" drivers, with versions ranging from 2007 to 2010, both from the manufacturer and specifically for this computer (a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile) and others from here:
http://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wireless-download.php?chipset=22&system=3
All of them are for Windows Vista 32bit.
The computer had previous drivers installed and working, but also had a network problem. In the process of figuring out what was causing it, I tried to install newer drivers to see if that was the problem. It turns out the network problem was due to a different
thing that is now fixed (some dependencies of the WLAN Configuration service were turned off), but I'm still stuck installing the new drivers.
TL;DR:
However, every time I install new drivers, after install, Windows says that
"The device instance name is invalid", regardless of what drivers I install. I even tried to install drivers for different hardware in that slot just to see what it told me and IT STILL gave me the same error. I also tried to uninstall the
current driver, checking the box to delete the driver's software, running CCleaner and then deleting
"athr.sys" from the Windows/Drivers folder and
"oem8.inf" from Windows/Inf as those files were referenced in the driver's properties. The install still gives me the same error.
The fact that it gives me this error with any driver leads me to believe it's Windows' fault and not the driver's.
Note: I am translating from the original in Portuguese. "The device instance name is invalid" is the closest/correct translation and seems about right with the info I find online regarding the english version of Vista and how it refers to devices.
This (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.development.device.drivers/yFa_XnlcLJQ) and this (http://finderr.net/windows/pt-PT/O-nome-da-inst%C3%A2ncia-do-dispositivo-%C3%A9-inv%C3%A1lido-/2082573452) also seems to confirm that, though it
doesn't help me. It may be that the text is actually different in english Vista but I also searched for driver instead of device or stuff like "The device instance name appears to be invalid" and can't find anything either.
I also did SFC /SCANNOW a while ago and it found no errors. I then repeated it again after this problem and this time, SFC found errors BUT it couldn't repair all of them. Here is the CBS log:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bayum2rsezxpmre/CBS.log
Thank you for the help!
EDIT: The Notebook model is a Fujitsu-Siemens ESPRIMO Mobile V5535 and their support drivers can be found here (after specifying the OS and model):
http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/download/ShowFiles.asp
EDIT2:
The last SFC /scannow scan repaired everything left to repair. The system restore option can't be used because the earliest one still has the (suposedly faulty) drivers installed.
This computer has a Win Vista serial number, but no CD and the second partition doesn't have any kind of backup. The second partition is empty though. So, as a last resort, if I really don't have a choice, I'll try to do an upgrade install to see if that fixes
it and if that still doesn't fix it I'll have to move everything in the users folder to the second partition and format the first which is a bummer :/
EDIT: Here is the setup.api.log that was inside C:\Windows\Inf and details the instalation process of all the drivers:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tyxs1e4r7rxofch/setupapi.dev.log
I'm still trying to read into that setup.api.log file.

So, can I assume that the only way to fix this error is to download an iso of Windows Vista, unninstall my service packs, upgrade install Vista, run Vistalizator to change the language to Portuguese and then install Service Pack 1 & 2?
EDIT: Alright, so I formatted the thing since the driver bug wouldn't give me a break. The details on that can be found searching for the same thread title either on tomshardware or vistaforums if anyone happens to find this looking for the same error.
I have a real knack for bumping heads with errors that nobody else gets that somehow turn into unfixable bugs. At least if someone else searches for this problem they'll know what to do.

Can I use SCC-DI01 modules with a PCI-6533 device?

I am looking into performing buffered acquisition of various digital signals using a PCI-6533 device. Can I use SCC-DI01 modules with this device? If so, would this be via the SC-2345 Carrier? The manual seemed to suggest is was only compatible with E-series devices?
Basically, I want to monitor 32 digital channels and will have a mixture of 5V and 24V signals.
Many thanks,
Douglas

Hi Douglas
Could you please clarify where the manual suggests that the module is only compatible with an E series board (is it because only an E series board is referenced in the manual)?
I can't find any information stating which devices are/aren't supported by the SCC-DI01, but I will continue to investigate and keep you posted with my progress.
Kind Regards
Stuart R

Is there any way to use Adobe Extension Builder with After Effects?

I have been using Script UI and Javascript within the ExtendScript Toolkit to build panels for After Effects CC, but I like the way the Adobe Extension Builder works with Eclipse, and the power of including external libraries like JQuery. Is there any route to build extensions for After Effects with this or some similar solution?

Hi Hallgrimur,
I was checking the documentation for CC14 Extension SDK and found that the HTML5 extension development is available now for After Effects too. I could not find any update of Extension Builder though which would support the After Effects extension development. While searching I came across this thread, so was wondering if you might have any update on how to go about with the HTML5 extension development for After Effects. Thanks a lot in advance.
