Air Extreme + 2 Air Express = I can't play 2 stereos at the same time - why

I just got a new airport extreme hoping the the "n" would give me better connectivity to 2 different stereos through 2 airport expresses. I had been using a netgear wireless router that is connected to an actiontec DSL modem. When I had the netgear wireless I could have both my stereo in the basement and in the family room playing iTunes. The only problem was when I turned on the microwave it would interfere with the signal.
So I bought the new Airport Extreme and set it up. After much trouble and 2hrs with apple support on the phone I got the basestation working and I configured both airport expresses to extend the range of my network and to play iTunes. Now if I select either the basement or the family room through iTunes either one plays fine. If I try and select both the music starts cutting out in both locations almost immediately. I have seen some references to issues people have had playing through 2 systems but can't find any reference to a sulution. The apple support guy gave up! I have tried different channels and am currently on 2. I also set the wireless to 11mps - both suggestions from apple support.
Listed below is all the relevant data I could think of copying from about this Mac.
Please help - thanks!

No - according to the Apple support you can both extend the network and play iTunes through express. I have tried configuiring my expresses both ways - I even tried one to extend the network and one just for iTunes. Still the same issue I can play on stereo but not both. I will say that my internet connection for my laptop is better and faster with the extend the network feature.

I have an Apple Ipad Air. I'm trying to use two bluetooth earphones at the same time. Can it be done?

I have an Apple Ipad Air. I'm trying to use two bluetooth earphones at one time. Only one works at a time. Can two be used at the same time? If so how do I get them to work?

The likely reason no one can connect to the mini when it is connected to your work VPN has more to do with your work than your home set up. The administrator at work would have to decide to allow for "split-tunneling", thereby allowing your mac to be connected to work and the outside world simultaneously.

How far will the extreme reach and how many users can be on there at the same time?

How far will the airport extreme reach and how many users can be on there at the same time?

Last question first, since that is the easy one......approximately 50 (fifty) users for wireless depending on how active each user might be.
The first question is much more difficult, as distance is not really the issue with wireless.....obstructions are the issue.
A wireless signal can easily travel 300 feet or more with no obstructions in the signal path.
But, a typical wall of sheetrock or wallboard in a home will absorb....on average....15-20% of the wireless signal. Brick or adobe will obviously absorb much more. A ceiling....because it is thicker....will absorb about 25-35% of the signal.
So, if the wireless signal must pass through several walls and a ceiling, there won't be much, if any, of the signal left....even though the distance that the signal travels is not great...for example, 20-25 feet.
Other wireless networks around you at the neighbors can also affect the relative strength of the wireless signal.
The bottom line....locate the AirPort Extreme where wireless devices will receive a signal with the least amount of obstructions in the signal path. Your actual performance cannot be predicted in advance. You will not know how well the AirPort Extreme works for you until you try it out in your home.
If you find that the signal does not reach as far as needed, you will need to add additional "extenders", like an AirPort Express to provide more signal coverage.

Re: if weblogic can serve two ports at the same time?

That's not true. WebLogic supports a non-secure and secure listener port at the
same time. That was one of the selling points for my organization.

<URGENT QUESTION>

Well, the question was really meant to see if any change was made to WL to support
this, not because I didn't believe Michael Girdley.
P.S., this is something Websphere 4.0 let's you do...In case this encourages someone
to add this support.

Why do they 'have to be on different ports'? We block requests by URI
- so just
block all requests to /youradminapp/* at the firewall. Or you can block
them at
your Web Server. Or restrict them by user in WL.

we
have a application to be exposed through the firewall at port 7001.
Then we have
another admin application to only be accessed within the firewall. But
they need
to be deployed within the same JVM since they may have shared statebetween

Will Verizon Stop encrypting sim cards for iPhones so users can talk and surf at the same time?

Will Verizon stop encrypting iPhone sim cards so users can surf and talk simultaneously?

I can prove that this is not the case. I travel abroad monthly and have sim cards for these 2 countries i frequent and i can surf and talk at the same time. The claim that it needs another antenna does not support my findings. Can we be more transparent please. As a costumer i find it highly inconvenient to have to hang up a call with someone just to access an email.

Microphone and what U hear can not be use at the same time at the same time

I am using Creative SB X-fi Xtreme Gamer (Creative Model Number: SB073A), sound card and have down loaded the latest drivers (version 2.18.15). What U hear is enabled, which in turned makes the microphone unavailable. If you reverse the settings, then what U hear is unavailable.
It appears that; microphone and "What U Hear" can't be enabled at the same time. If someone has an answer on how to correct the following settings to achieve; using the microphone and what U hear at the same time would be appreciated.

It was possible in Windows XP but due to windows 7 own audio mixer this does not work anymore.

Airport Express - iTunes streaming and wireless bridge at the same time?

I know the Airport Express (AX) can do iTunes streaming. And I know it can act as a wireless bridge - meaning, a wired device can plug into the AX as if they were plugged directly into the local network.
What I am wondering - before I buy one - is whether the AX can do both at the same time. I have been reading around, and some people say it cannot, but I am getting the feeling that might be an older version perhaps.
Here is my set up -
office:
cable modem > Airport Extreme 802.11n base station
desktop computer
family room:
DVD, TV, TiVo, etc. -- all would like a wired network connection
Stereo -- would like to stream iTunes from desktop computer
So can the AX stream iTunes to the stereo, AND serve up the network to the TiVo, etc. at the same time?
If so, I assume I can plug an Ethernet Switch into the AX and have it simultaneously service >1 device (e.g. TiVo, TV, etc.).
Thanks a lot!

The newer 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can be setup in any of the following three configurations to enable its Ethernet port to provide network connectivity to wired clients:
1) As a remote base station in a WDS with another 802.11b/g/n AirPort.
2) As an extension to another 802.11n AirPort/Time Capsule.
3) As a ProxySTA (Ethernet bridge) with any wireless router.
I have verified that it can support both performing as an Ethernet bridge and stream simultaneously for the first two configurations, but have not had an opportunity to try the last to verify that case as well ... but I believe it should.

HT2508 Airport express for more than one device at the same time.

I just set up my Airport Express on my MacBook, but when I try to use this wireless connection on my iPad, I have to disconnect from my existing connection on my MacBook first. How can I use both devices at the same time without having to disconnect?

How do I make windows smaller so I can see more programs at the same time?

I would like to see more programs at the same time. When I open a program I see the 3 buttons on top left, the close button, the plus and minus. But it either disappears ( - ) or comes on full screen ( + ). How can I make them small and move them around to see different things on the monitor?

Hi,
At the very bottom right hand corner of your window there. There are three little diagonal lines. Click and hold with the mouse button and drag it all around there. Better? Hope so!
Regards.

Can an airport express support wireless and wired connection at the same time

im wondering if i can use wireless and wired connection at the same time

The Ethernet port that the old AirPort Express has got is to connect the AirPort Express to your modem, not to connect another PC or Mac, so you can only connect wireless devices to the AirPort Express.
If you have the new AirPort Express, you can connect a wired PC or Mac and more wireless devices or computers at the same tiem

Airport Express - using range extender and Ethernet at the same time?

So, I am thinking of buying an Airport Express. I am would be using it to extend the range (wirelessly) of my current Wi-Fi and also use the Ethernet ports on the back to connect my DVD player (so I can use the Internet-enabled apps on it). My question is whether the Airport Express can extend the range of my Wi-Fi as well as provide an internet connection to my DVD player simultaesnously.
My current setup in my house is:
- A wireless modem from my ISP (www.telenet.be)
- A Cisco range extender - however, this one often drops the connection so the Airport Express would be a replacement for this.
The current Cisco range extender is plugged in near my TV and it picks up the wireless connection from my ISP modem and extends it as well as being connected to the DVD player. However, I am tired of losing the connection so I thinking of buying an Airport Express.
I have no other Apple network devices (Airport Extreme, Airport Time Capsule, etc.)
Can you help me out?

No, Apple products will only wirelessly extend the signal from other Apple products.
Another way of saying the same thing is that you must have two Apple AirPort routers if you want to extend the signal wirelessly.

How many pods and layouts can I have open at the same time?

Hello,
I am planning on using Adobe Connect for a virtual brainstorming session..
I am going to take a slide deck with about 60 slides, and chop it up into 8 different sections, roughly 7-8 slides in each, which will be in a new layout. About 10 layouts in total.
To delay the load time when switching from one layout to another, I want to know if I can keep all 8 Content Pods open in each layout, so that when I switch, it simply brings up the already loaded pod, instead of closing the previous and loading each one when I change layouts. Is this going to make the entire session slow by having all this content on screen (Hidden behind the active pod) ? Or am I on to something here?
Thanks for your feedback.
-Matt

Matt,
I believe you determined that only one layout can be active at any given time. So, on to the pods question.
I would do it exactly as you have described. The initial layout may show longer load time, due to the amount of content that must be loaded, but changing between layouts should be very quick, as all the content is already loaded on each individual's computer, it is just a matter of brining the correct presentation to the front. With 7-8 slides per presentation, I don't think I'd worry that much about the initial load time either.
Of course, always do some testing on multiple computers to get an idea of how things will go in the live session, but I'd say run with the idea of 'hiding' pods to keep the transition time minimized.
