Can i do this with the Base Station's USB port?

Hi,
Airport Extreme Base Station has a USB port which I read you can plug a printer into. My question is: Can I plug a USB hub into this port and access all devices plugged into the hub wirelessly?
Specifically, I have a printer, scanner, external hard drive and want to access them wirelessly from a MacBook.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

The USB port on the square 802.11b/g/n AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) supports ONLY printers and hard drives. Therefore you could connect a USB hub and connect your USB hard drive and printer.
The USB port on the earlier round 802.11b/g AEBS supports ONLY a single compatible printer.

I have a new MacBook Air with Yosemite (no CD/DVD capacity). I want to install Photoshop Elements 6. Can I do this with the serial number? If pse 6 is not compatible, can I upgrade to pse 7. I do not need pse 12 or 13.

I cannot answer regarding compatibility, but there is no download available for PSE6 if you would need one for this. You might be able to copy the installation files from a disk to some other removable media that the machine accepts. Upgrading to PSE7 would not be possible mainly because Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.

How many users can be logged on to the base station

how manty users can be logged onto the base station?

I am not sure if you mean this to be in the TC area but it will handle 50users I think was the spec.. but never ever do it. Around 10users per AP is about the max you ever want to try. That is assuming all are using the net at the same time. You can probably manage more as long as most are not actually in use.

Changing the base station from Air Port Express to the Time Machine

Some years ago I bought an Air Port Express. I set it up to connect iTunes to my home stereo but it never worked very well and after a few months I gave up and put it in a draw.
Last year I bought a Time Machine and succesfully set it up. I also established a wireless network which connects to my PC and Blackberry.
Recently, I've been encouraged to try to set up the Air Port Express again. I had assumed that the Time Machine had been established as my base station and that I would now use the Airport Express as a wireless extender and try again to use it to connect to my home stereo.
However, in setting it up it become clear that my Air Port Express has the status of a base station with its own wireless network (which I don't want to use).
I can't figure out how to change the Time Machine so that IT is the base station and the Air Port Express is a secondary point connecting to wireless network created through the Time Machine.
Thank you in advance for any help or advice that you might have.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, this older "g" device is really going to drag down the performance of your Time Capsule.
You'll need to use a WDS type configuration, which is an older "g" technology. The setup for this type of configuration is complex and difficult for most users. If you get the configuration right, there are still unfortunately going to be two big negatives with this type of setup.
1) Since WDS is an older "g" technology, everything on your faster "n" Time Capsule will drop down to "g" level speeds. That's a huge loss.
2) When you add the Express to the network, the bandwidth will drop by 50%
Bottom line...you would wind up with an older "g" wireless network throughout that would be operating at one half of it's capability.
If your budget allows, a new AirPort Express 802.11"n" would provide far better performance and would be much easier to configure for your network.

Help!! Can I do this with the Airport?!

Hi,
I have my Airport express set up with my wireless router so I can use it with iTunes wireless speakers. Is it possible to plug a machine into the ethernet port on the airport express to allow it join my home network?
Or can the ethernet port on the airport express only be used as a router?
Thanks for your help,
John

I have my Airport express set up with my wireless router so I can use it with iTunes wireless speakers. Is it possible to plug a machine into the ethernet port on the airport express to allow it join my home network?
Yes, but only if the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is set up as a Remote Base Station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). For that to work the wireless router that you connect the AX to must be either another AirPort base station or a DD-WRT compliant one.

I am making an ad for a virtual magazine. It needs to have a hyperlink to my website, but must be submitted in a TIFF, PDF, JPEG, or EPS file. How can I do this with the Photoshop file I have already made? Please Help!!

New to Photoshop here, please help!

Normally the best way to create an add is to to do it and to export it as PDF/X-4.
From Photoshop you can save as PDF, choose either the standard as the printer asks for or save as PDF/X-4.
Never use in any case EPS.
If the add contains vectors and/or fonts PDF is the best file type.
If no text or vectors are used you could use JPG with high compression quality, tiff or (not in your case) psd.
Take care that
Your file is not flattened to background, so all layers are alive, otherwise fonts will be rasterized.
You file should have a resolution in minimum between 240 and 300 ppi (not dpi)
With the text: is it pure black or is it 4c-black? K-Black is easier to accomplish in InDesign.
Don't make small elements in 4c.

Can I do this with the Push Registry?

I need to write a midlet that will listen for an incoming message from the comm port on a Motorola i355 iden phone. I don`t care if the midlet is open or closed when the message comes in. Whichever would be fastest would be best. I'm using the phone to process a message and send another message back out through the comm port to a connected machine. I also don't have control over the message that is coming from the machine that the phone will be connected to. This will only be my 2nd J2ME application so I'm very new at this.
I have seen plenty of examples of using the push registry to do this for a socket and datagram (I don`t even know what a datagram is), but nothing for use with a comm connection. If anyone can steer me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

IMac doesn't detect the base station correctly (with new base station)

I have a brand new Airport Express. I'm trying to connect to my iMac G5. Everything works fine in the start up with getting the green light on the Express base station. But, my iMac doesn't "connect" with the base station.
I try the "Airport Setup Assistant" and get a window that says "No new Airport networks were found."
I look at the "pie" at the top of the iMac screen. It has the white and black stripes on it. I click it and find "Apple Network e3fec9" and select it. The signal level shown has all blue buttons. That window also reports "Status: Connected to 'Apple Network e3fec9'" and "Base Station ID:00:19:E3:E3:FE:C9". That's what makes me think that my problem must be in the iMac and not the base station.
I had also tried my Dell laptop (from work) and found that it found the internet network. It detected the "local host" and "Apple Network" and the signal strength was very good (~90% or so). The only problem was that the laptop thought it needed to recreate an IP address before it could connect to the internet. I didn't do that, since I saw it was detecting the network.
Please help. Why should this be so hard?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9) none

I'm confused. You say you're connected to "Apple Network e3fec9", and you're having trouble connecting your iMac? It sounds like you've managed to connect to your Airport Base Station.
Have you configured the Internet settings for the base station? Try this:
1. Launch Airport Admin Utility (in /Applications/Utilities/) select "Apple Network e3fec9" and click Configure.
2. Under the Airport tab, give the base station a name, click the Base Station Options… button, and make sure Enable Ethernet Port is checked.
3. Select Create a Wireless Network (Home Router) if it isn't already selected, give your network a name, and check Create a closed network
4.Click the Wireless Security button and set it to WPA Personal, and enter a password.
5. Under the Internet tab, set Connect Using: to Ethernet, and in the Configure dropdown, select Using DHCP
6. Click the Access Control tab and click the plus button on the right side of the window. In the panel that pops up, click the This Computer button.
7. Click Update
I'm hoping it's something simple, like Enable Ethernet Port wasn't checked or something, and not something more serious.
Hope it helps.

HT3500 Where is the base station menu?

Trying to connect my Lexmark prospect pro250 to my new Airport Extreme over wi fi... I read that I should go into the airport utility and find "add wi fi printer" from the base station menu... But this option doesn't show up. When I click on the pic of my Airport Extreme there is an edit button that opens to what looks like a base station menu but no options for adding anything except "Back to my Mac". Can anyone help?

You are likely confusing the Base Station menu (top of screen) with the Base Station tab (center of screen)
When you click on the AirPort Extreme icon and then click Edit.......follow the instructions to click on the Base Station menu.
That would be at the very top of the computer screen up where the other menus are located.....File, Edit, Window Help, etc.

New iPhone &iPad 2 working with Extreme Base Station Model A1034

iPad 2 worked with Extreme Base Station Model A1034. Now new iPhone and now neither can connect to the Base Station. What could be the reason for the iPad 2 to stop working with the Base Station and why can't the iPhone use the Base Station? Thank you!

At this point are you saying that none of your wireless clients can connect to the AirPort? If so, then I would recommend that you do the following:
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref:Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Can I network 2 iMacs without Base Station?

I have two iMac's with airport extreme cards in them. Can I network them together without having a base station? If yes, where can I read how to do this?
If I can network them together without the base station and just airport to airport in each iMac, can the one iMac without internet gain internet access if the 2nd one does have internet and the sharing feature for internet is turned on. My goal is to get internet access on a iMac in another room via and airport to airport connect with no base station.
Thanks

After downloading firmware for airport utility, airport express base station no longer registers with airport utility on my Mac. Now the base station is blinking amber with no info of what is causing all this to happen. Any suggestions?

After downloading firmware for airport utility last night, airport express base station was deleted from airport utility and only Time Capsule remains. When I plug in the base station, an amber light blinks without being able to verify the cause. Any suggestions to remedy this problem?

There are only a couple of things you can do to resuscitate a nonresponsive Express:
"Hard reset":
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
If that does not work,
"Factory defaults reset":
Unplug the Express from power.
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil, then plug the Express back in while continuing to hold the button until you see the light (LED) flash rapidly. This should happen after a few seconds.
Release the button.
In either case you will have to reconfigure the Express as a new device. A moment or two after it has been reset, the LED should be blinking slowly. It must then appear in your Wi-Fi menu like this:
Earlier versions of OS X will report it as "Apple Network nnnnnn".
In either case, select it, and then launch AirPort Utility.
If it does no appear in your Wi-Fi menu after it has been reset using one of the two techniques above, it is defective. Other than attempting another reset, there is nothing you can do.
