Can i have both a printer and a hard drive connected???

I have just got an airport extreme(802.11n). Its all set up and working aswell as a printer is connected to do wireless printing but i was wonder that if i split the usb on the back so that i could connect a hard drive and a printer at the same time will both be able to work at the same time? so can i have both?
thanks in advance

According to the Apple website, if you connect a USB hub to the back of the Airport Extreme you can connect multiple devices...
So yes it is possible, although I have yet to try this myself.

Share your hard drive
Now you can share an external USB hard drive over your wireless and wired network by simply connecting it to the USB port on your AirPort Extreme Base Station. Called AirPort Disk, it's perfect for sharing files, making backups, and more. You can even connect multiple drives and printers using a USB hub (sold separately). (See system requirements.)

  • Can I connect both a printer and a hard drive to time capsule using a usb hub?

    since there is only one usb port on a time capsule, can i connect a printer and a hard drive using a usb hub?

    You can use a USB hub if you need one to connect an external drive and a printer. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2421?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • How can I have both genius playlist and regular playlist on my new 160g ipod classic. The list of songs are there, but when I click playlist, I only get the genius playlists.

    How can I have both genius playlists and regular playlists available on my new 160g classic ipod. I can see my entire song list, but no playlist other than the 3 genius playlist I just made.  Also how can I delete a genius playlist. Made the same playlist twice by mistake. Thanks.

    This was not a simple task.  Got it handled.  Had to call Apple support. Apparently, the 160g only syncs the genius playlist.  You have to go in and "tell it" to sync the entire playlist as well as the genius playlists. There is also an option for only syscing certain songs. On itunes, there is two sections; one for the stuff that is synced on your ipod and another separate list for the stuff in your library!  This is exciting for me as I am not computer savvy to say the least. 

  • Can I have both Oracle 8i and Oracle 9i servers on a s Solarix Box

    Can I have both Oracle 8i and Oracle 9i servers installed on a single Solaris box !? Or say .. any other flavour of unix
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes! By all means, you can.
    You will just have to install Oracle under different directories for different versions and set the ORACLE_HOME accordingly.

  • Can I have both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 5 both installed on the same computer?

    Can I have both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 5 both installed on the same computer? I like the "fill light" feature in 3 and use it a lot. I would have not gotten 5 except that the images from my new Canon 5D Mk III are not re4cognized on 3. I have 5 on a laptop and 3 on my desktop but would like to have both on my desktop .

    Yes you can do this, but you can also get rid of Lightroom 3 and use the "Fill Light" command in Lightroom 5. You need to set the Process Version to 2010 (default is 2012 in Lightroom 5). Use the menu command  Settings > Process > 2010
    But honestly, you would be wise to stop using "Fill Light", as the new sliders in Lightroom 5 produce superior image quality than anything you can come up with using "Fill Light". Yes, the new sliders take a little time to get used to, but your patience and effort learning the new sliders will be rewarded. You can find some tutorials and videos on using Process Version 2012 on that Internet thing.

  • Can you have both flex tools and automation running

    HI
    I might be wrong and I. Hope that I am!!!!
    But I seemed to me that it created some automation on a track ...
    And then realised after a while that the flex tool was turned off and when to switch it back on and the automation turned off..
    I am right in thinking that you can't have both the automation and flex tool running at the same time...?????
    Anyone out there know the answer...
    Thanks!!!

    It would appear that you can't be in both modes simultaneously. You toggle between them.
    However, they are very different types of functions, and it would be difficult to manipulate Flex markers with Automation enabled. You'd be drawing nodes when you needed to be fixing timing issues.
    Toggling between them is easy enough.

  • I have a Free Agent external backup hard drive connected to my iMac Intel desktop via USB.  Why do I get an error message, from time to time, upon startup stating: "disk was disconnected improperly, always eject disk before disconnecting"?

    I have a Free Agent external backup hard drive connected to my iMac Intel desktop via USB, I never unplug it.  Why do I get an error message, from time to time, upon startup stating, "Disk was disconnected improperly.  Always eject disk before disconnecting."?

    I never unplug the external harddrive, and the error message comes up only occassionaly upon startup.  Maybe the USB connection gets disrupted enough to cause the computer to see it as disconnected and then reconnected while the iMac is powered.

  • Will Time Machine back up and external hard drive connected to my TC?

    Here is my desired set-up: older Powerbook G4 whose iTunes Music is saved on an external HD (WD MyBook offering USB, FW, and ethernet connections); backup wirelessly to a Time Capsule using Time Machine; connect the external drive to the Time Capsule either using USB or ethernet (whichever is faster); have Time Machine backup everything, ie, the laptop and the external drive connected directly to the Time Capsule.
    Right now, the external drive is connected directly to the Powerbook using Firewire and everything is working as desired. I would like to have the external drive networked, however, so that I can enjoy music on the laptop without having it connected to the external drive. Seems like I could connect the external drive to the TC to provide a networked iTunes library, but I also want Time Capsule to back it all up together with my Powerbook.
    Is this possible?
    If so, which connection method is best between the external drive and the Time Capsule, USB or ethernet?

    No. Time Machine will not backup a network share such as you describe. Sorry.

  • I just upgraded from i-tunes 10 to i-tunes version 11.1.3 in order to sync my i-phone.  All my libraries now come up now as one combined library, which makes it frustrating  and difficult to find my songs.  Can I have both the 10 and the new 11.1.3 on ?

    I had to upgrade  to i-tunes 11.1.3  from my old i-tunes 10  so that my i-phone could get synced to i-tunes. I used to have several i-tunes libraries on my computer for various subjects.  Like for movies, bird recordings, and  songs I wrote myself. Now when I open i-tunes all the libraries open up at once in one library, it is completely reorganized,  making it almost impossible to find my old songs, playlists, movies, etc.  I just got done organizing my libraries, and now its all confused and Im terribly frustrated. How can I get my old organization back, and is it possible to have several libraries again, or both the old and new i-tunes on the same hard drive? Anyone have any advice how to organize my new i-tunes ?

    What a waste of space to paste the code.
    Why not ask in the iLife > iPhoto forum where your question belongs.

  • Can i have both Linux, Windows, and Leopard operating systems on my mac

    Can i use Bootcamp to have a Leopard OS, a Linux OS, and a Windows OS partitioned on my single Macbook?

    For Linux I much prefer having it under VMware Fusion because MacOS doesn't support ext3 and Linux doesn't support writing HFS, making it hard to share data between the two otherwise. The latest version of VMware Tools supports cut and paste between Linux and MacOS (last version of Parallels I used did not have ability to do cut and paste between Linux and MacOS and ran much slower with Linux) and Linux runs at pretty much full speed other than graphics (but I'm not running Linux for graphics, I'm running Linux for software development). Note that setting up your home directory (or a subdirectory thereof) as an NFS share, then mounting that within your Linux virtual machine, results in faster throughput than trying to do everything on the VMware virtual disk, all that lives on my VMware virtual disk is the actual operating system (I have my home directory mounted to a directory on my Mac where my source code lives). I usually use Aquamacs and p4v on the Mac side to actually edit and do source control on my source code, then pop down to the Linux window to compile it and do an initial smoke test to ensure that my fix actually fixed what I think it's supposed to fix, then pop back up to the Mac Finder to drag the result over to the open Finder window for the Engineering Test CIFS share on our corporate file server from whence the actual QA test systems in the lab can grab it and test it. It's a cool way to do Linux software development . Especially since I must develop for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms for multiple distributions of Linux, and VMware lets me fire up a couple of them at a time (why I have 8GB of RAM? Now you know!) to do all this in a sort of overlapping manner.
    For Windows... meh. I've used both the latest Parallels and the latest VMware with Windows 7, and both of them are sluggish even after you turn off all the various GUI effects under Performance and Accessibility and if you don't give at least 2GB of memory to the virtualized Windows 7 it gets really slow if you try to do anything sizable at all (such as run Microsoft Office to edit things that for some reason don't edit correctly in OpenOffice/NeoOffice). So Boot Camp it is, especially for playing games, which simply is not acceptable at all under virtualized Windows 7. Oddly enough, Windows XP runs acceptably fast under both Parallels and VMware, so I'm not sure what Windows 7 is doing that makes it work so poorly under virtualization. But that's Microsoft for ya, I guess...

  • Can I have both iMovie 09 and iMovie 08 installed on the same Mac?

    Hi,
    This question may seem odd, but... I work at a college. In my role there, I provide training for students and faculty using a variety of technologies (including the iLife suite). I would like to purchase and install iLife 09 for my Mac for personal and professional use; however, I also need to maintain iLife 08 applications for training purposes for work. Is it possible to have both versions installed simultaneously?
    Thanks!

    Yes, you can, although Apple does not support the methods shown below. Here's how you can do it:
    _*If you have NOT installed the iLife09 upgrade yet......*_
    a) Open Finder & click on the "Applications folder"
    b) Click on the "New Folder" icon and name the folder anything you want (like iMovie08)
    c) drag the iMovie.app into the folder
    d) install iLife09....you will now be able to open iMovie09 by clicking on the icon in your dock, or open iMovie08 by going to the newly created folder and clicking on the older iMovie.app file.
    _*If you have already installed iLife09........*_
    ----IMPORTANT----
    *MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR MAC in case something goes wrong, such as a recent Time Machine backup so you can restore your files!!!! Also, make sure you have the original installation disks for both iLife08 and iLife09, or the OSX installation disks with iLife08 on it..........*
    a) Open Finder & click on "Macintosh HD", then open the "Library" folder, then open the "Receipts" folder
    b) Scroll down and find the files marked *iMovie.pkg, iMovie_712.pkg, iMovie_713.pkg, iMovie_714.pkg*, etc. You will not have all of those files, and the numbers may be different than 712 or 713, etc. Move these files to the Trash. *DO NOT MOVE iMovie_PreviousFolder.pkg or iMovieHD6.pkg to the Trash if you have them...keep them in the Receipts folder.*
    c) Open Finder & click on the "Applications" folder, then find iMovie.app and move it to the Trash
    d) Open Finder & click on the "Macintosh HD", then open the "Users" folder, then open your user folder (i.e., "Paul"), then open the "Library" folder, then open the "Preferences" folder, then move *com.apple.iMovie.plist, com.apple.iMovie7.plist and com.apple.iMovie8.plist* to the Trash. You may not have all of these files, or you may have different names for your preference files, but as a general rule, any preference files with the words iMovie should be moved to the trash.
    e) Put your iLife08 or OSX install disk 1 in your DVD drive
    f) Double-click on "iLife08.mpkg" (iLife08 install disk) or "Install Bundled Software only" (OSX install disk)
    g) When the "Install iLife08" or "Install Bundled Applications" window appears, click on continue for all the agreements until you get to the "Standard Install" screen. Click on "Customize" and a new screen will appear with a list of all the applications (iLife08) or the words "Bundled Applications" in the OSX install disk, and next to those words is a small arrow....click on that to show the contents of the installation software. Uncheck all boxes except iMovie. Make sure that box is checked, then click on "Install" and follow all prompts to install iMovie08 back to your Mac.
    h) Once iMovie08 is back in your Mac, you will need to move it to a new folder as follows:
    i) Open Finder & click on the "Applications" folder
    j) Click on the "New Folder" icon and name the folder anything you want (like iMovie08)
    k) drag the iMovie.app into the folder
    l) Now, reinstall iMovie09 as follows....
    m) Put your iLife09 install disk in your DVD drive
    n) Double-click on "iLife09.mpkg"
    o) When the "Install iLife09" window appears, click on continue for all the agreements until you get to the "Standard Install" screen. Click on "Customize" and a new screen will appear with a list of all the applications. Uncheck all boxes except iMovie. Make sure that box is checked, then click on "Install" and follow all prompts to install iMovie09 back to your Mac.
    p) You will now be able to open iMovie09 by clicking on the icon in your dock, or open iMovie08 by going to the newly created folder and clicking on the older iMovie.app file
    Hope this helps!

  • Can I have both static text and the output of an array in the body of an email?

    I have been scouring forums for something on this for a while now and have not found a whole lot. I'm trying to send a group of emails out to server owners in our company for a cleanup/consolidation project. I have a working script and of course now my boss
    wants it changed. I have the script set up to find all the servers a person owns and put it into a CSV file. Then it attaches it to an email with instructions on how to get everything updated. Now my boss does not want the list in an attachment but right in
    the body of the email. I'm pretty sure this is something Powershell can do, but I'm clueless on where to begin let alone how that would work.
    Here is my current script minus the confidential stuff :) I just need to know where to start since it can't be in html format. I'd probably know if I knew powershell a little better, but well I've only been working with it for a few months now.

    $sqlConn)
    $adapter.Fill($Sqldb)

    $Sqldb = $Sqldb.Tables[0] | Sort-Object -Property Owner

    $ownerName = $owner
    #switches the format of the ownername variable to lastname,firstname
    $Username = "$($Owner.Split(" ")[1]), $($Owner.Split(" ")[0])"
    #gets email address for owner from AD
    $EmailAddress = Get-ADuser -Filter "Name -eq '$Username'" -properties emailaddress -server ads.domain.com | select-object emailaddress
    #splits the $emailAddress vaiable to help eliminate extra text original text looks like @{emailaddress = [email protected]}
    $Emailaddress = $Emailaddress -split '[=}]' ,0
    #removes extra text at the beginning of the variable leaving just [email protected]
    $Emailaddress = $Emailaddress.TrimStart("@{emailaddress")
    #stores the body of the email into a variable
    $message = "Hello,
    Blah Blah Blahbity Blah
    Thank You,
    <Signature Block>"
    #Sets the from email address
    $emailFrom = "[email protected]"
    #Sets the email subject
    $subject="Test Email"
    #sends the email with attachement for the current owner
    Send-MailMessage -To "$EmailAddress" -Subject $subject -Body $message -SmtpServer "<smtp.domain.com>" -From $emailFrom -Attachments $newfile -DeliveryNotificationOption OnSuccess

    So I can just put my output variable into the email body variable.... since it's a table with headers should I do anything special for formatting the table?
    My output now looks like :
    ServerName
    Owner
    SupportContact
    SupportExternal
    ServerDescription
    Server1
    Me
    Me
    TrendMicro OfficeScan 10.5
    Server2
    Me
    Me
    TrendMicro Deep Security Test
    Server3
    Me
    Me
    Test Server
    Server4
    Me
    Me
    Application Server
    Well it's a little garbled there but you get the idea

    1) For some reason this happens once in a while with FAT32 enabled external harddrives. I have no idea why this happens but it most easily solved by reformatting the drive. First make sure you've copied everything from the external drive to your internal harddrive. You've done this earlier so I assume you know how to do this.
    Now the reformatting part. Open Finder and go to Applications. Look for the folder called "Utilities". Click on it. In it you find a program called "Disk Utility". Click on it. Now look for the external drive. You probably see two entries for the disk. Click on the one that contains the name of the drive NOT the one that describes the disk (Like for example 320.07 GB Samsung S2 Portable Media).
    Now you see four tabs in the righthand part of the window. They're called "First Aid", "Erase", "RAID" and "Restore". Click on "Erase". This opens the tab with (amongst others) a dropdownbox (Format) and a textbox (Name) . In the dropdownbox select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Take note! This selection disables usage of the drive with Windows PC's. If your goal is to share the drive with Windows PC's select the MS-DOS FAT option.
    Enter a label for the drive in the textbox Name. Now click on the button "Erase". This will format the drive.
    Now when it's done you can copy back all the items you've copied to your internal harddrive earlier.
    2) Opening two windows like Explorer on Windows is opening two Finder windows on the Mac. Simply click on the background. In the menubar you items like 'Finder", "File", "Edit", "View", et cetera. Click on "File" and "New Finder Window". Do this two times. Alternatively you can click on the background and press CMD-N two times.
    3) You can right click on the trackpad. This however depends on if you've enabled the feature in System Preferences. In the topmenubar click on the Apple icon and select "System Preferences". Now look for Trackpad in Hardware. Click on it. You see three tabs with the names "Point & Click", "Scroll & Zoom" and "More Gestures". Select "Point & Click" and look for "Secondary Click'. Make sure it is checked and make sure it has written "Click or tap with two fingers" written beneath "Secondary Click". When you're done exit System Preferences. Now select the background and tap with two fingers on the trackpad. This should open the contextuel menu with options like "New Folder", "Get Info" et cetera.
