Can anyone recommend apple extreme vs express for Mac pro and 2x iPads in home setting?

Looking for advice on use of express vs extreme for home use

The Extreme is dual band, so faster devices will connect to the faster band while slower devices connect at their own pace. The slower devices will not slow down the faster devices, as would be the case with the single band AirPort Expess.
The USB port on the Extreme will support a hard drive and/or a printer. The USB port on the AirPort Express will support only a printer.
The Extreme uses a new antenna array that will result in better coverage and deeper penetration of the signal. The Express uses a simple antenna arrangement.
If you plan to connect any wired devices to the the router, the Exteme has 3 Ethernet ports.  The single Ethernet port on the Express will be used to connect to the modem, so any other wired devices will not be able to connect to the Express.
The Express will handle a total of 10 wireless connections, while the Extreme will handle up to 50.
For an $80 premium the Extreme probably provides 3 times the performance capabilty of an Express. That makes it a no brainer for me,  but you and others may disagree.

  • Can anyone recommend e-book reader app for mac os10.8.5

    Hi
    Im trying to find an app to use for e-books from public library and other free e-book resources. I am not ready to update to Mavericks which uses ibook app because I am waiting for some of the glitches ie printing, accessibility - dragon dicitate and all the  problems reported by the support community discussions.
    Personally I am not happy with ios 7 changes and I am reluctant to upgrade mac notebook and desktop. So I am being very cautious to make mac os changes especially when my printer being older model may or may not work and reports of dragon dictate, ms office and all the programs that are costly to replace.
    I have vision problems and he ability to read an e-book both on and off line on a large screen would open a world of possibilies. While I like audiobooks nothing replaces seeing the words on a page and reading them to myself !
    So when recommending an app please let me know how well it can increase font size, differentiate colors, and bookmark pages.
    The ease of scolling and pagination in an e-book is important with my handicap.
    I am financially unable to invest in purchasing apps that are more then $5.00 nor am I am to buy an e-reader like an ipad or other brands.
    I know I could use a pdf app but the page flow of a pdf file is not visually appealing. I also find it hard to find where I left off reading.
    Thank you in advance for your help

    Thanks very much. That fixed the problem.
    Best Regards

  • Can anyone recommend the best ONLINE backup for Mac's

    Hello, I have a new Macbook Pro, and would like to take an extra step and backup
    my pictures, my files, my i-tunes library, onto an online service. Does anyone use one
    now or have you had any experience with using an online service? Thanks

    While MobileMe does offer up cloud storage, I wouldn't say it's a great backup service as such. You have to manually copy stuff etc. It's not automated - of course there are ways to automate it of course.
    Also, you need to consider the amount you need to store. 20Gb standard with MobileMe, beyond that you pay to upgrade?
    Personally I prefer to use automated services. My current favourite is Mozy - you can read about my experiences here: http://www.markc.me.uk/MarkC/Blog/Entries/2009/7/15Online_Backups_-Mozy.html
    I've the best part of 1Tb of uploaded backed up data on there now, all for 50ish dollars/year. Bargain, and works well.

  • Can anyone recommend a powerpoint-like program for mac that is free?

    I cannot afford to spend a fortune on power point but my kids are always needing to do pp presentations for school.  Is there a good free program out there or even one with a lower price point?

    Apple's Keynote (like Power Point) is available by itself through the App store for $19.99, however, you need to be at OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later to access the App store.
    You can also buy the iWork suite, which has Keynote, Numbers (think excel), and Pages (think Word) for $79 from Apple. If being downlevel one release is OK, the iWork '08 package is available through an Amazon vendor for $38.98 which includes shipping.

  • Can anyone recommend a good instruction book for intermediate Mac users?

    I have been using Mac for 3 years now so am not a total beginner, but still need help in many areas of OS X use. These forums are brilliant and thanks to the willing help from more expert members I have learnt a lot ( thank you), however there are times when just having a book open in front of you is the easiest way to get to grips with something. Can anyone recommend a good user manual for people like me who don't need a real beginners guide but also don't want a mind numbing, in depth, advanced text. I already have Maria Langers Visual Quickstart Guide which is useful but is exactly what it says, a quick start, and David Pogues Missing Manual which I find a little frustrating as he seems to fall short of explaining exactly how to do something after he says it can be done!
    I guess what I am really after is a clearly written book that is good for beginners and more advanced users alike, with screen shots to show you what you should be doing.
    Grateful for any suggestions.
    macbook white 2ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   512mb ram and 60gig hard drive,

    Hi again,
    Many thanks for the feedback and the star!
    For troubleshooting, Dr Smoke's Troubleshooting Mac OS X eBook is invaluable. Again, I have the Panther edition. I haven't, yet, felt the need for the Tiger edition with so many of the tips available free via his FAQs.
    The only drawback, of course, is that when one is in a fix and possibly unable to boot up, the e-book isn't accessible unless one has a copy on another Mac.
    Have fun,

  • Can anyone recommend a good messenger bag for a macbook air 13?

    Can anyone recommend a good messenger bag for a macbook air 13"?

    I agree with Shldr,
    I have a MBA 11" and a MBA 13", and use that one for my 13" Air, and the smaller version for my 11".
    I have spent at least $600 chasing down the perfect bag(s). There isn't one, AFAIK. The Incase bags are my favorite.
    I do prefer the older version of that bag though (a single velcro flap for the double compartment side). The new version holds a tad less. (I gave my new version to my MIL), and use the older one I have.

  • Can Anyone Recommend A Good Protective Case for an 80G ipod?

    Can anyone recommend a good protective case for an 80G ipod?

    The Griffin Survivor is a military-grade case that I use. It's $40 and I purchased it at Best Buy. It has a rubber piece that covers the charging port, but can be easily removed for charging while still in the case. The only downside of the case is because of the added girth, it makes the iPod unusable with iHomes or other docks unless you take it out of the case.

  • Can I put all 4 disks in my Mac Pro in a single RAID 1 set?

    Can I put all 4 disks in my Mac Pro in a single RAID 1 set? I have tried DU but it will not let me add the disk that holds the OS. Machine is brand new. I am looking for one big disk.
    Any help would be appreciated!!
    I am on OSX 10.5.4

    Yes, but since it will wipe out everything on all four drives, you have to use Disk Utility on the install DVD. Be sure to have another drive for backup with another copy of OSX. You can't do firmware updates from OSX on a RAID set.

  • How can i stream(air mirroring) *.mkv files between Mac Pro and AppleTV2 by using quicktimeX?

    Need support!

    How can i stream(air mirroring) *.mkv files between Mac Pro and AppleTV2 by using quicktimeX?
    As stated you can't. Even if the compressed data is TV compatible, the container is not. If the file is playback compatible with the QT X Player, you can, of course, play the file on your main system and "mirror" its display to the TV. Unfortunately, this normally means only the video is played back via the TV device. On the other hand, if you convert the MKV content to an TV compatible file (or move the compressed data to an TV compatible container if the data is already TV compatible), then you can mirror the QT X player (with audio) to the TV device in the full screen mode, air play/mirror it from iTunes (or any mobile device), or stream it directly from itunes.
    Basically, what you can do here depends on the compressed data in the MKV file container and how you define "mirroring."

  • Can anyone recommend a USB print server for both Mac & Windows?

    After spending at least 20 hours trying to get my Macbook to print to a Windows XP shared printer, I am giving up and going the print server route. Unfortunately there seem to be a LOT of options and some are >$100. I want to be sure to find one that works for both Mac and Windows XP. Can anyone recommend a print server based on experience?
    It can be hard-wired to the network (does not need to be wireless) and only needs one USB port. Also, it does not need to be "multi-function" compatible.
    Thanks in advance!

    Unfortunately, Apple just started using the CUPS printing system ~4 years ago. With CUPS drivers, you can print to all the standard comm protocols, the way drivers work in Windows. But except for Brother's, NO non-postscript printer driver on OS X was written to use CUPS. Instead they are using Carbon, the OLD OS 9 legacy programming interface. In that, they get to specify exactly which protocol is supported - and that's nearly always ONLY USB.
    So, we have to rely on third party CUPS drivers. See if Gutenprint supports yours:
    http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
    or else, you may need to use printfab:
    www.printfab.net
    About print servers - they nearly all support "standard" protocols, which OS X (with CUPS drivers) can print to.

  • Apple Product Environmental Specifications for Mac Pro

    Hey there everyone:
    Can anyone point me to the Apple Product Environmental Specifications for the New Mac Pro?
    I cannot find the Environmental Specifications for the Mac Pro. I am considering a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro. The Mac pro obviously has the ability for more RAM and faster working environment but I am currently using a 2001 QuickSilver with 867Mhz single chip so either will be leaps forward for me.
    I know the Environ specs for the MacBook Pro will be lower energy use but I want to know about the Mac Pro and make the choice after knowing all the information.
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Not including display but if available with 4 drives and one midlevel video card.

    Apple does not seem to have released these specifications publicly at this time, as there isn't a PDF for the Mac Pro on this page. If you keep watching the page, you should be able to access the specifications at a point in the future.
