Can anyone comment on my setup?

I've been using the previous generation Airport Extreme for over a year now. I had two iMacs and one MacBook connecting just fine. Replaced an iMac with MacPro that does not receive a consistent signal. So I just installed the new Airport Extreme and added the old router as a bridge with is giving me four bars but a slow connection.
Here is my concern, is the older 'g' router slowing down the 'n' router? I ask because I had read how a mac using the legacy airport card can slow down your 'n' signal. Sorry if I sound like a dummy, I AM!

Yes, any non-"n" device, including the older AirPort base stations, will affect the bandwidth performance of an "n" network. If you need to run both types of devices, it might be worth your while to look at creating a "Dual-Band" network instead of your current configuration.
In a "Dual-Band" network, non-"n" clients would connect to a 801.11b/g network and "n" clients would connect to a "pure n" network. This will allow for full bandwidth on both networks. Each network would have its own Network Name (SSID), but since the second router would be bridged, the router connected to the Internet will still provide NAT & DHCP services to both networks so clients attached to either can both "see" each other and access the Internet.
Setting up a "dual band" network is described in the Designing AirPort Networks Using the AirPort Utility document, starting on page 48.

  • Can anyone comment?

    I'm getting one tonight, here is what I want it for.
    I have a 50" Samsung DLP Model HLS5087W, I want it for music and photo's right now.
    Can anyone please comment of how photos look on a similar TV to mine.
    My pictures were taken with a Nikon D50 shooting RAW.
    Listen people HD content has to be in Apple's ITMS plans, why else would they only design and sell this to EDTV & HDTV owners.
    I'm guessing my ripped Movies will look good, because my TV does an amazing job handling SD content. Way better job than all my friends plasma dislays doing SD.
    Just looking for honest answers on the photo stuff.
    Thanks

    My photos from iphoto look great. Took a really long time to synch - and I wish it would let me browse a bit more than be forced to see in screen show... I am thrilled with this product overall...

    - Which query actually runs faster? Which query actually does less I/O?
    - Why did you change the optimizer mode? Why did you change the optimizer_index_cost_adj? What lead you to believe that one or both of these were incorrect?
    - What version of Oracle?
    With just two query plans, there isn't much that anyone can say. The optimizer expects the latter plan to run more quickly, but that's only because you've told it that you only want the first 100 rows and that index accesses are substantially cheaper than it thought. If either of those are incorrect, the optimizer's new guess is likely worse than its first guess.

  • Despite 10.5.2 my problems with Leopard continue -can anyone comment?

    Since installing 10.5 on the 26/10/07 I have waited patiently for the supposed panacea that is 10.5.2 for all the problems I've been having on both my iMac and MacBook. Strangely I have exactly the same problems on both machines.
    To get around some of these while waiting on the upgrade I had to create new administrator accounts as one of the major problems I have encountered is that .dmg and .pkg files will not install within my original administrator accounts on both machines.
    I have set up and installed at least 3 new machines for friends recently all of which came with Leopard and none of which display any problems at all. I cannot change to my new administrator accounts exclusively because of the sheer volume of tunes, photos, movies and TV shows in my original accounts and rather than try and move these, I was hoping the 10.5.2 would cure the original default accounts. I cannot comment on any increased stability -it's too soon, but here are just some of the problems that I face every day (common to both machines).
    Firefox won't run
    iTunes (frequently) cannot find the default music folder and fails to launch (even though it's there)
    .dmg and .pkg files are not recognised
    DVD player will not run (Initialisation error 108)
    Software update will not run from Apple menu (have to trigger from within sys preferences)
    Nothing appears on the desktop whatsoever -no HDs, no files, no folders.
    Programmes (such as iWeb) just disappear for no reason; a folder (such as Flickr) will magically appear within the desktop folder without being created by me (within sidebar) but not on the proper desktop itself
    Cannot create new folders on desktop - error code 8058 appears each and every time
    None of my Apple programmes (ex: Mail and iWeb) have any help files within them; switch to the alternative administrator accounts and suddenly they have all those files
    iPod Touch not recognised in default (original) administrator accounts
    Windows sharing at best of times if flaky
    Screen sharing will not work in original accounts: when I change to new ones, suddenly it all works perfectly.
    eyeTV will not keep channel settings between each launch
    And so on.....
    Exasperated last October, I gave up and did a totally clean install of Leopard over Tiger. That made no difference. Tonight I installed the combo update but really, all my problems are still there. I have no idea what could be preventing my two original Admin accounts from Tiger from working and I find it bizarre that the same problems manifest themselves on both machines.
    Anyone any ideas?

    I eventually did *erase and install* back in October because I was having so many problems with the new OS -I had originally just done the upgrade from Tiger.
    Tunes are on an external HD and therefore that isn't the biggest problem, but the original admin account houses a great number of large eyeTV recordings and DivX downloads and that would be a pain to organise as well as all my Mail accounts.
    By 'original admin account' I mean the first one that I created once the installation was performed. In my experience, Leopard doesn't appear to care too much for these ones. Whether this has something to do with .Mac prefs and settings associated with these accounts I don't know but I have the exact same problems on both machines. Like many others on these forums I have had many issues with syncing, iDisks, .Mac and so on since Leopard.
    Everything works on any newly-created admin account. Yes, I suppose I will have to bite the bullet and change everything over to these but it has been a long, arduous and unpleasant task with Leopard since October and the prospect of setting up mail, bookmarks and copying extremely large media files back and forth is not one that I relish.
    What could be causing so much hassle on the default admin accounts that I wish to use?

  • I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please?

    I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please, by the way the "L" doesn't appear in the bottom left hand corner either? and by the way how can I get rid of that irritating Blue badge saying "AutoFill your contact details" all mine are in "address book" already!

    You can't drag a transition into the canvas. If you're dragginmg a transition from the effects tab you drag it between the edit point of two clips in the timeline.
    Make sure show edit overlays is turned on in the Canvas view popup.

  • Can anyone help me change the DOB on my sons profile for his apple I'd so I can setup family sharing? I originally put both ids in my name. He is 19 do it keeps saying needs my permission but no instructions in how to get that done?

He is 19 do it keeps saying needs my permission but no instructions in how to get that done? His phone was stollen once last month need to get this done ASAP to prevent future headaches. Ty

    You can not change the date of birth on the account. Apple makes that clear up front when the account is created.
    The only way to "fix" this is going to be for him to create a new account with the correct information. Any apps purchased with the old one will need to be re-purchased with the new account. They can not be transferred.

  • My new Canon Pixma 7250 wireless printer can no longer find my wireless network. My MAC is, Yosemite 10.10.2. I've run diagnostics and Canon LAN printer setup routine many time. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?

    My new Canon Pixma 7250 wireless printercan no longer find my wireless network. (It worked fine until recently) I have a Yosemite 10.10.2. I've run diagnostics and the Canon LAN printer setup routine many times. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?

    Turn of the MG and unplug the power cord. Leave it off for about a minute and then reconnect the power cord and turn the power back on. Wait while the device attempts to reconnect to your wireless network - the blue wifi symbol on the MG will flash and then stay on once it has connected. If it keeps flashing then you will have to reconnect the MG to your wireless access point via the control panel on the MG.

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • TS3297 Hi, I've setup my new mini ipad today, restored a backup from icloud and all is fine.  However, when I try to download my music, they almost completely download then an error message pops up saying "unable to download songs" - can anyone help pleas

    Hi, I've setup my new mini ipad today, restored a backup from icloud and all is fine.  However, when I try to download my music, they almost completely download then an error message pops up saying "unable to download songs" - can anyone help please?

    So it appears iCloud/iTunes Match isn't the issue - the error message would seem to be complaining about where the music is being downloaded to. So with this in mind:
    In iTunes select Preferences and select Advanced. The iTunes media folder should be set to /Users/<your account>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. <your account> would be whatever your user account is. If you see something else there I'd guessing it is a folder you don't have permission to write to.
