Anybody have experience with Directv receivers and an airport express?

Specifically, I have 3 HR24-500's connected to the whole home DVR service. I want to connect them to the internet. I have an Airport Time Capsule as my router and I also have an airport express ready to go but cant seem to configure everything to work together. The airport express is working as it currently brings an internet connection to all of my other components via a 4 port switch but I cant seem to get the DVR to work. It shows its connected to the network but no internet. Im very frustrated. Please help.
Thank you in advance.

The Internet hook up should have been performed by the DirectTV installer. There is a specific procedure for this involving the Whole Home equipment.
It would probably be best to have a DirectTV installer hook this up for you, but the Direct TV help forums might be able to provide you with a step by step procedure.

A note of caution...the Whole Home setup is not supported over a wireless connection. There's just not enough bandwidth available over a wireless connection to provide reliable high definition video performance. The DirectTV installer will not hook up the Internet connection unless it is hard wired back to your main router using an Ethernet or special Co-Ax connection.

Does anybody have experiences with a Samsung SSD 840 Evo for a MacBook Pro?

I heard that the Samsung SSDs 840 Basic and Pro have problems with MacBook Pros and die after a few weeks. I bought my MacBook Pro 13 in April 2011 and want to upgrade it with a SSD now.

Partitioning makes no sense. You have a drawer full of stuff. Split it into two smaller drawers and you have two smaller drawers full of stuff.
Decide what you can store on external storage - your iPhoto/Aperture/Lightroom libraries can all be stored on externals, as can your iTunes Libraries and so on. Do you need to carry 30 gigs of movies with you all the time? You can get portable drives the size of an iPhone these days.

Can you help with D-link and two airport express stations

I currently run a Dlink 604 wireless and 1 Airport express for iTunes in my front room.
A Express is also linked to the Dlink via a cable.
All works fine - G4 dual running OS x 10.3.9
I would like help with a couple of things please:-
1. I have no current security on my Express, so anybody can use the net connection through it. How do I change this and still be able to use my tower and laptop?
2. I have a second Express from work that I would like to use upstairs. It does work but requires me to swap the network to use it for iTunes and then I have no internet.
It was formatted at work so has different ip numbers etc.
Can I make this station join my exisitng network?
As my lap top is wireless will I be able to surf through it upstairs?
Thanks

1. You need to open the Express's configuration in Airport Admin Utility and change the Wireless Security settings to WEP or, preferably, WPA or WPA2. When you attempt to connect to the network from your computers, you will be prompted for the password.
2. The easiest thing to do is to hard reset the second Express and then use the Airport Setup Assistant to configure the second Express to join and extend the first Express's network. To do a hard reset, hold down the reset button until the LED starts flashing rapidly.
BTW, I know it can work because I have the exact same setup (D-Link DI-604 and two Expresses in an extended wireless network).

Impossible to scan with à MP610 canon and a Airport express

I print with à canon MP610 on a Airport express, but it is impossible to scan withit.
help me .....

Sorry, but Canon and other manufacturers have not provided full featured drivers to allow advanced functions when their devices are connected to the USB port on the AirPorts......which is how I assume that you are connecting.
If you need advanced features like scan, copy, fax, maintenance etc., you will need to connect the All-in-One directly to your computer.
You might want to contact Canon Support directly to ask them if they plan to offer full featured drivers in the future.

I have a "n" time capsule and "g" airport express

Hi, I'm trying to extend the range of my Airport Time Capsule (1st generation "n"). I have a "g" Airport Express and I've been trying to set it up as a remote base station (or do I mean "relay"?) to strengthen the signal in a distant room. It's not working! Is the problem that you can't use a "g" express with an "n" Time Capsule??? Do I need to buy an "n" Express, or is there something I'm doing wrong?

I'd suggest reading the Designing Airport Networks manual. There is a section on setting up a WDS with a Time Capsule and an Airport Express.

Refurbished iMac...anybody have experience with quality level?

I am considering buying a new machine and buying a refurbished product to save a few bucks. Has anybody out there had experience with the level of quality on these machines? Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions!
While I do not have a refurbished iMac, my BlackBook is a refurb and has been performing very well since I bought it back at the end of June.
It came in the plain brown box, but everything arrived in flaweless condition and it even smelled new.
Since it comes with the same one year warranty that a new unit does and you still have the option to extend that to three years with AppleCare, they are a great deal.
Bmer has a friend that received a bend MacBook Pro (or maybe it was a PowerBook) that Apple promptly arranged for a repalcement, but that is the exception rather than the rule. By and large you will receive a unit that is every bit as good as a new one, but save money.
Another thing to mention is that some users report receiving upgrades at no additional charge. Apple advertises the base configuaration and then ships out that they have in stock. That may mean extra RAM or a larger hard drive, but do not count on it. For that reason, I sugest waiting to receive your MB before ordering any upgrades.

I have changed my DSL router and my Airport express device doesn' work anymore

Hello, After I changed my DSL router (from my internet provider, it's a netgear), my Airport Express doesn't work anymore. It shows a yellow light.
I have tried to unplug several times with no success. The Airport utility on my Mac (running MacOS 10.6.8) doesn't discover it.
Any idea?

Unplug the AirPort Express from power
Wait a minute
Hold in the reset button on the Express and keep holding it in for an additional 7-8 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart and come back up to a slow blinking amber light.
Now the Express is back to factory settings
Look for a wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxxx. You have to log on to that network first....no password is required.....then open AirPort Utility

Anybody have experience with Flex in VMWare environment.

I have a flex 3 application that is in our users startup folder and loads (IE 10) when our computers log in to our network. The desktops exist in a VMWare view virtual environment. On startup the application fails to load, and in the address bar the path to the application is prepended with:
"res://ieframe.dll/acr_error.htm#"
At that point clicking the home button reloads the page and it show fine.
I realize this is likely a VMWare issue but was hoping someone in the Flex community might have a clue as to what might be causing this.

ANybody have experience with EVENT 20/20bas studio monitors?

I am looking at a mint condition pair of these monitors. I am wondering what anyone has to say about them. Worth seriously looking at? Best I can ascertain is these sell for around $900? They may be a year or two old, so the current model might be an upgrade from these. Any advice would be appreciated.

Unless you absolutely CANNOT do without monitors right now, if all you can spend is $500/pair, I'd wait.
It has been my experience that for $500, you can get a nice upgrade from monitoring on stereo speakers. And yes, there are some good deals in that range (the KRK RP5s aren't bad, neither are the Yorkville YSM1s).
BUT...
...you get SOOO much more from a $1000/pair set like the Dynaudio BM5A. The improvement in stereo imaging and sonic detail is really massive.
My opinion (for what it's worth) is that monitors are one of a very few areas in which you cannot afford to skimp. Microphones and preamps are two others. Converters? There's always going to be a better set coming out tomorrow. But a U47 into a Neve will always be a U47 into a Neve. Basically, if its analog, its based on physics, and you can't improve the laws of physics. A good mic, pre, or monitor will last you for 20 years or more.
So, if you NEED the monitors now, I'd recommend the KRK RP5 (or RP6 if you need a bigger woofer, but the RP5s sound nicer) or the Yorkville YSM1s.
Otherwise, save your pennies for something you can grow with .

Experience with iPod nano and iPod socks?

After discussing with the Apple Helpline about the scratches on my nano, they quickly proposed to send my some iPod socks for free in order to protect the nano (is this like implicitely admitting that something went wrong?).
My question: Does anybody have experience with iPod socks and the nano, i.e. do they scratch the nano as well (as somebody on another forum has posted)?

lol, good one James. + for you.
I remember this same thing with the iPod Mini. That was released in February 2004 and there were a huge number of cases by around April. But the mini was announced in January which ment the third party makers had a whole month to design and make cases.
The ironic thing....people didnt need a case for the mini. Its was scratch resistant to begin with, however the nano is damaged by finger acid!!!
*nathan
PS: James, off topic, but do you use your iPods for different reasons, as im trying to think of ways to justify having three aswell?

Does anybody have experience to work with jsapi in midlet?

Hi every body
I want to write a java midlet for mobile phone with ability of speech recogntion ,can I use jsapi2 ?
does anybody have experience with jspi in j2me?

Hello,
see the attached example I use for a PCI-7344.
You must just know that these AO have an offset: If you set "0" as input, you will perhaps have between -150..+150mV at the AO. This can be annoying depending what you do with it. However, this offset doesn't vary over the time.
In the attached VI, you can give this offset one time for ever.
Hope this help.

Anyone have experience with SmartCurve, especially in PSE3?

In a discussion captioned PSE 4.0 vs 5.0 (current last message 43, Oct 3, 2006)there is the exchange below. I decided to start a new thread because the old one had gone elsewhere.
Two questions: Does anyone have experience with SmartCurve? And does it care about version? I have PSE3. However, the software does not specify but was updated 9/11/06 and thus is for PSE4 at least.

Dean, could you please point me to those "Curves" Plug-ins that work with PSE 4 (and that will hopefully also work with PSE V5)?
Thanks a lot in advance

Robert,
Is this what you are looking for:
http://free.pages.at/easyfilter/curves.html ?
Juergen

Jack,
You assumed correctly. Grant's Curve tool can only access the composite RGB channel. His tool does have the advantage of using an adjustment layer mask...so you can mask out parts you don't want adjusted by the curve. The advantage of using a mask vs a duplicate layer and eraser is that with a mask you never destroy pixils...just hide them...so if you make a mistake it can save a lot of time and frustration. On the negative side, you won't be able to reopen the curves adjustment layer once okayed...but you can still edit the mask.
BTW, Grant's tool sets includes several tools so it's a worthwhile download. However, if you have Hidden Elements installed, I don't know if you'd get anything extra/different. BTW, there's a freeware Hidden Elements set on the Adobe Exchange which might also be worth looking at. I'm not sure what all is packed in that set...and I'm not sure where they've got it stashed...perhaps Actions or maybe Plugins.

I have an Apple TV and an Airport Express, can I use these to stream all audio from either my iPhone or my MacBook Pro, including Pandora?

I have purchased an Apple TV and an Airport Express as a gift for a loved one and was under the impression that these two would not only allow for movies, videos etc would be streamed to the TV from my MacBook Pro, but also set up Airport Express with speakers and stream music from my laptop or iPhone. Is there a way for all music, including Pandora, to be streamed through the Airport Express? I can only figure out how it works with iTunes, not Pandora.
Thanks for the help!!!

You might want to take a look at Airfoil for Mac to be able to stream any audio source on your Mac.

Can AEBS, wired Airport Express and WDS Airport Express devices be mixed?

I have been using an AEBS and three Airport Expresses (non N)in a WDS network using mixed b/g/n with two b/g mac minis, a b/g/n macbook and a b/g macbook for several years but have noticed the speed and reliability flucuating. I wish to do more music streaming and would like to improve the speed and reliabilty.
I have cat5 in several locations in the house.
Can I use the AEBS as a base wired to two Airport Expresses in different parts of the house(probably set as bridge) to extend my wireless g network and stream music to fixed points and then extend the network (?wds) with a non wired Express near one of the wired Express devices?
Thanks
Jim

My Macbook with "n" runs on the 5ghz network...it must be pulling that directly from the AEBS.
So I would guess that your AEBS is actually a simultaneous dual-band 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) ... correct? If so, then it would certainly make sense that the MacBook is connected to its 5 GHz radio.
My wired AXs will be in two very different areas of the house. Is it possible to wire them as bridges, then set each as a WDS base to extend to their local area?
I assume that you intend to create two different WDSs ... correct? If so, this should be possible. You will need at least four AXs to do so. Each WDS would have the main base station connected to the AEBSn by Ethernet; configured as a bridge, and as the main in the WDS. For each of the mains, you would have another AX configured as the remote.
Since the mains are both configured as bridges, all wireless clients connected to either WDS should be able to see clients connected to either WDS or the AEBSn.
