Airport Express Printing for iPad and iPhone?

Is there anyway to allow iPhone and iPad to print thru Airport Express? I have a Mac to enable sharing if this is required. Also, is printer driver required? If not, how do I know which printer is compatible?

Found a solution: http://netputing.com/airprintactivator/airprint-activator-v2-0/
However, my Mac has to be power up and the printer connected and shared from my Mac.
Good if can print directly thru Airport Express without having to power up my Mac to act as print server

  • Why won't my airport express work with iPad and iPhone?

    I have my internet line coming into the basement. Its been hardwired from the basement modem to an airport extreme upstairs, but we sleep in the basement and the wifi is bad. I have a 1st gen airport express. So my idea was to put the extreme down with the modem, and run the hardwire to the express upstairs. I did this and my laptops and iMac got the same signal as when the extreme was upstairs, but my iPad mini and iPhone only have two bars unless you stand 5 feet from the express. Macs get about 48mbps, iDevices about 20mbps. 15 feet away on the porch the iPad won't even pick up the signal. The apple store advised I put the extreme back upstairs, and the express downstairs wirelessly. They said the iDevices may have been ignoring the express and trying to get the signal from the extreme in the basement.
    Is there any way to use the express and the extreme to get solid signals up and downstairs? My fear is apple once again boned me and wants me to buy a new express.

    If it's the original b/g only model its model number will be A1084 or A1088. It appears in the red box as shown below:
    To configure one of them requires an older version of AirPort Utility. Check its model number.
    It should not be necessary to connect it to your Mac with an Ethernet cable. Connect it directly to the Extreme, "hard reset" it again if necessary, then launch AirPort Utility.
    It should appear in your Mac's Wi-Fi menu as "New AirPort Express...". Select that and proceed to answer the questions.
    The AirPort Utility setup page with the words "using Ethernet" is as shown:
    Its appearance in AirPort Utility will show it connected to the Extreme with a solid (not dashed) line.

  • I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

    I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

    Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
    You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

  • Can I create books for the iBookstore for iPad and iPhone using Pages?

    Can I create books for the iBookstore for iPad and iPhone using Pages?

    No problem, Peter. iBooks Author makes a lot of things much easier than trying to grapple with a standard epub, but it also has some big limitations, like iPad only, and ibookstore only.
    EDIT It's not really suitable for something like a novel, for example, although it's great when you need lots of illustrations and movies and such.

  • When is Apple will make a Micro USB Flash Drive for iPads and iPhones ???

    IIt's really a big help if Apple make their own Micro USB a Flash Drive for iPads and iPhones.

    Apple would not tell people there are other brands on the market. It is my opinion that if Apple users keep asking for the USB for ipads, they might consider it. As for the iphone there MIGHT be a tiny slot inside where the battery is for an SD card, which expands the space. I know Android has that feature in their cell phones, but not sure about Apple.

  • HT1349 I purchased pages and numbers for Ipad and Iphone, now I have a MacBook Air and I would like to use both softwares in my computer. Do I need to purchase them again ?

    I purchased pages and numbers for Ipad and Iphone, now I have a MacBook Air and I would like to use both softwares in my computer. Do I need to purchase them again ?

    Yes. Air runs OS X, iPad and iPhone run iOS - different operating systems
    that required different versions of Pages, Numbers, & Keynote to run. Like
    the iOS version, once you purchase the version for your Air, you may install
    it on as many OS X desktops/laptops that you own.

  • Using a hybrid of the same apple ID for iPad and iPhone.

    Hey everyone,
    I'd like to be clear and hopefully someone can give me an accurate response as soon as possible.
    So, today my sister gave birth (Hurrah!) and she has an iPad 2 that i got her for christmas.
    Long story short, my mom is in the same hospital as my sister in the emergency room since she had a heart attack/nervous attack and had to be there for testing. -- Thing is, i want her to Facetime me with an alternate email from my iCloud so she's able to see her grandson while i'm with her.
    Question:
    Yes, or No: Can we use a hybrid of the same apple ID for both iPad and iPhone?
    (Hybrid implying the use of iMessage/Facetime with an alternate email and not my cell number or primary account email.)

    So once that's done, that'll be it?
    Cause she has one of my alternate emaisl currently listed on the iPad (and i unselected those on my iPhone) and it seems that it's not registering as an iMessage when i try to send her a message via my iPhone.

  • Airport Express Password for mac and windows

    i have airport express in my office and i have both windows laptops and mac's, i tried to setup a password for the airport and it succeed but the problem when i try to access the airport from windows it ask for password and i use my correct password but unable to connect on it. i am using 12 digital # for the password.
    now i have removed the password and all the machines able to connect even the other companies are sharing my internet
    is there any way to encrypt the airport? and i want each machine to be asked for the password.
    thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    One of the advantages of OS X is it has it's own password manager called Keychain Access. Unfortunately Windows doesn't have an equivalent so you have to rely on third parts applications like Roboform. To locate Keychain Access simply click Command-Spacebar and type Keychain Access and Spotlight will locate it.
    There is another tool you can try that has gotten pretty good reviews, it is:
    http://download.cnet.com/1Password/3000-18501_4-95581.html
    I'm not aware of any third parts apps that work on both Windows and OS X so you may be forced to use two solutions.

  • Do I need antivirus software for iPad and iPhone

    I'm new to the apple world and enjoying the gadgets.  Just wondering if I need to purchase antivirus software for my iPad and iPhone.

    Anti virus software doesnt' really exist because it's not needed. The way things are coded viruses won't run on the iPad's operating system.

  • Web gallery for iPad and iPhone -- your suggestions

    Hi,
    My current website has Flash-based galleries created in LR using SlideShowPro.  I want to create an alternate web gallery for viewing on the iPad and iPhone.  Can someone here recommend a LR web gallery plug-in for this purpose?  If possible, I'd like the gallery to work the way the iPhone Camera Roll works, but at very least, I'd like viewers to be able to simply flick their way through the images.  (SlideShowPro Director does this, but I'm not quite ready to take on its complexity.)
    I found a pretty nice solution here:

    Any other suggestions?

    Someone else just asked this and I answered. You can use the hard drive publish service to push photos into a gallery that synchronizes with iTunes. It works really well.
    Here is the other post:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4410886#4410886
    I use the hard drive publish service to create galleries for my iPad. I setup iTunes to sync photos from a particular folder, and then setup Lightroom to publish to that folder. Each time I want to create a new gallery for my iPad, I just create a new published folder and drop the photos into that folder. Then I publish the photos. The publish feature allows me to update photos in collections easily, as well as setup specific sizes for export to my iPad.
    I have also used published smart collections for my portfolio images. When I tag a photo with a particular gallery keyword, it gets added to the collection. I then just publish the photos in the service and I've got them on my ipad. It works really well!
    Setup a hard drive publish service
    Open the Library module
    Go to the Publish Services.
    Press the + to and choose Go to publishing manager.
    Click Add
    Choose Hard drive as the service type. Name the publish service iPad Photos
    Choose to export your photos to a specific location. Make note of this location and instruct iTunes to use the same location for synchronizing photos. Do not choose to put in a subfolder.
    Choose the format as JPEG, Color space as sRGB, and set your quality in the File Settings section.
    Choose to resize your photos to fit the iPad in the image resizing section. I have chosen Width & Height of 1500x1500. This will give black bars if your photo doesn't match the aspect ratio of the iPad. You can also choose Dimensions and set a dimension. The output photo will be cropped to fill the screen. I have an iPad 2 and wanted to be able to zoom a bit, so I chose dimensions larger than the iPad.
    Set the other options as needed -- sharpening, metadata, and watermarking.
    Click Save.
    Back at the Library module you should now find your new publish service. Create a gallery.
    Right click the service and choose Create Published Folder.
    Name the folder the name you want to appear in your iPad Photos app.
    Drop files from the photo browser into this new collection.
    Right click the collection and choose Publish Now.
    Repeat these 4 steps anytime you want to create a new gallery on your iPad.
    All you need to do now is to sync the photos on your ipad using iTunes.

  • How do I xfer my last back up (for iPad and iPhone) from laptop to desktop?

    I'm looking for a way to transfer my last back ups for my iPad and iPhone from my laptop to my desktop. I have my iTunes library backed up on an external hard drive so the content is no issue, it's the sync back up I want to move. I have a checkbook app (most importantly) that I would like to move over intact so that I don't have to start from scratch and lose all previous entries.
    Is this possible. I'm a Windows 7 trying to move back to a Vista 64.

    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Itunes Home Sharing HD (720p) for Ipad and Iphone... Buffering Freezing...is a mess

    I'd like to report a comment that I found on mac-forums.com that summerize the situation(http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/ios-apps/231842-ios-4-3-issues-home-sharing.htm l#post1273744):
    "While home sharing works, it doesn't seem like a finished product to me. Since the appletv 2 is built on iOS, I don't understand why home sharing on the iPad does not work the EXACT same way as it does on the apple tv 2. These are the problems I have with home sharing on the iPad for video:
    1) My shows should be displayed in order, which they are not. What I see is a random jumble of different shows, different seasons of the same show are not even placed together consistantly.
    2) Once I select a season of a show, the episodes are not in order.
    3) I can't see which episodes are watched or unwatched, nor can I resume an episode that I started on my computer (or start an episode on my iPad and finish it on my computer).
    4) The streaming seems slow for HD content and stops every now and again to buffer.
    The appletv 2 has none of these issues. Being as they run the same OS, I can only conclude that apple has a lot more work to do with home sharing on the iPad and iPhone, or they are deliberately hamstringing home sharing because now that they are releasing an HDMI adapter, a well implemented home sharing system would eat into the sales of the appletv 2."
    I think that Apple must find a solution about this....also with ipad IOS 4.3.5 home sharing doesn't work properly with hd content....and I assure you is not a network problem

    What does "can from browser" mean?
    Trying to share content from my IPAD and APple TV.
    You don't share content from AppleTV (as it contains no content) and you can AirpPlay from iPad to AppleTV, not share content.
    To turn on Home Sharing on the iPad, Settings > Store.
