Can i use a track pad and mouse at the same time

can i use a track pad and a mouse at the same time

If you mean can you have them both connected at the same time, then it's a yes. I have both connected and use the mouse for some functions and the trackpad for others... works a charm.

I have on;y one audio port can i use it for input and output at the same time?

i have the new macbook pro 13 in and i want to connect aguitar as input and output on an amp but i have only one audio port

You can't use the jack as an input and output simultaneously. The solution is to look for a USB or Firewire interface to get your guitar sound into the computer.

Can I use both iPhoto 6 and 5 on the same Mac?

I gave up on iPhoto 6 when it comes to publishing web galleries (see my posts at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=456532&tstart=0 )
Can I use both iPhoto 6 and 5 on the same Mac?
Thanks!

Lior:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes you can but it takes a lot of caution! You can have both application running their own library. But the problem comes in when you launch V5 into the last used library, a V6 library, and it can corrupt that library so it won't open in V6 again. Conversely, if you open V6 and the V5 library was the last to be opened and you don't pay attention, you'll convert it to a V6 and lose the V5 access.
So you have to make sure you ALWAYS launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and manually select the library to use each time. Also Name each library differently. I use V6 LIbrary and V5 Library. You can rename your current one and then launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and navigate to it to open it.

Cannot pair bluetooth keyboard and mouse at the same time

I cannot seem to use my bluetooth keyboard (offbrand) and microsoft bluetooth mouse at the same time on Mountain Lion. Whenever I switch over to using the mouse, the keyboard stops working even though under the bluetooth menu it says it is still connected. I either have to switch off the mouse or turn off and on the keyboard to start typing again. I have tried resetting the PRAM but that didn't make a difference. I also updated the aluminum keyboard firmware update 1.1 and it doesn't seem to do anything either. I know it probably isn't interference because they both work flawless on the same machine in a windows bootcamp partition. Is there anyfix for this?

Sorry, but after doing some research, it appears you can only use one at a time.

Can you use 2 sets of bluetooth headphones at the same time with the Ipad 4?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I can use 2 sets of bluetooth headphones at the same time with the Ipad?
It is so my children can watch a film or listen to music together.
Thanks

No

Can i use ALL usb ports and firewire port at same time??

can you plug in two usb devices and a firewire device, all at the same time??
into macbook or macbook pro....
macbook manual says, one high powered usb device can be plugged in.
but i dont know if they mean into each port, or at one time in total.
i just spoke to apple, and they told me to call support. i havent even bought the laptop yet.
i want to plug in a fast track pro audio interface = usb
a mouse = mouse, akai mpd16 drum pad = usb, and a 7200rpm firewire external hard drive..........so all my ports i wanna be using at the same time.
is this possible? or will macbook and the macbook pro differ in performance regarding this issue?
say if i buy a usb hub and plug in 5 usb devices...........possible?
or is their limitations??
thanks in advance.

MacBook - since I was replying to a MacBook question it wouldn't have exactly made sense to refer to my iMac experience, right?
BTW - there are two caveats. First, USB and FW ports can supply power to the devices that are plugged in but there is a limit to how much power they can supply which is why you should always use a powered hub if you are using a hub. If you are using your computer on battery, don't attempt to use an unpowered hub to plug in more devices. Second, if you are on battery, obviously the more unpowered USB/FW devices you have plugged in getting their power from the computer, the faster your battery will be drained.
An unpowered hub shouldn't pull in more than 500 mA. If it's four 100 mA devices plugged into the same hub, it wouldn't use more than a single 500 mA device like maybe a self-powered hard drive. Plugging in stuff like a USB mouse and a flash drive shouldn't consume too much power.
If you're already on battery power then I don't know if it would make much sense to say that one needs a powered hub; where's the power source? I know there are a few (rare) battery-powered USB hubs out there, but I don't know that many people who have them.

Can you use a roaming network and wireless extender at same time?

Greetings community - I've been struggling with an attempt to extend my wireless network for some time now. Please forgive my ignorance on the topic - I realize how 'simple' this is for many of you. Let me summarize:
What I have functioning:
1. Comcast telephony modem
2. 5th gen Airport Extreme as main wireless router connected to modem via Ethernet (corner of floor 3)
3. 2nd gen Airport Express as wireless extender (hooked to a stereo on floor 2)
What I want to accomplish:
1. I have poor wireless signal on my sun porch (corner of floor 1 opposite side of building as modem)
Extra equipment I have:
1. Another 5th gen Airport Extreme
2. Another 2nd gen Airport Express
What I have tried (and failed at):
1. Initially I set up the second Airport Extreme as a second wireless extender and placed it at a further point away than my first wireless extender. I quickly realized that set up does not function appropriately and one cannot connect to the further extender (I read about that on the apple forums).
2. I tried placing the second Airport Extreme in a different part of the house at equal distance from the main router as the first wireless extender. It's capability to extend was minimal if any.
3. I tried connecting the Airport Extreme to the main router via an Ethernet cable with the hopes of creating a roaming network (which I read about on the apple forums). I would have to come up with a way to run the Ethernet through the house but I'm willing to cross that bridge later. Once I got that set up, the 2nd gen Airport Express which was previously set up as a wireless extender is no longer recognized. Argh!!
Questions/Theories/Suggestions:
1. Is it possible to have a wired extender (via Ethernet) function at the same time as a separate wireless extender all connected to the same router? If so how do I do it?
2. I thought about keeping Airport Extreme #1 wireless connected to Airport Express #1 and call that Network 1. Then plug Airport Extreme #2 directly into the modem to create Network #2 and use Airport Express #2 as wireless extender. When I tried plugging both Airport Extremes into the modem, they both stopped functioning.
3. Do I get a second modem to put somewhere else in the house and use Airport Extreme #2 and Airport Express #2 in that fashion? My guess is Comcast will try to charge me a separate internet access fee to do that (boo!!).
I know there are a lot of brilliant folks out there. I'm sure someone can read this and see the 'obvious errors' in my ideas and attempts. I'm certainly open to new suggestions as well.
Thank you in advance for your time and advice.

Is is possible to rename the AEx 2 a different network name from the AEx1 and AE 1 (even though they are all connected to each other)? And say it is possible, would that potentially preventing the jumping?
No, in extend wireless the names must be the same..
However since you are creating a network on AE2 which is extended by AEx2 then you can indeed use a different name.. but it must be both,, AE2 and AEx2.
2. Even more crazy - if I did (could) give the AEx 2 a different network name, could I use my AE 2 as a wireless extension to that second network? Or is this just getting out of hand now?
You have lost me now.. there are ways and means.. but let me recommend a better solution.
Use EOP (homeplug in US) adapters if you cannot run ethernet. Multi-storey houses where you have heavy concrete construction are never going to work well with wireless alone. You are much better getting ethernet properly installed (which is the only 100% guaranteed method).. or buy a set of EOP adapters and give them a try.. they work in some cases and not others.. but better than wireless when they do work.
Otherwise I think you need higher power wireless routers.. but I can suggest you do the setup in a more controlled manner.
In other words do not use auto as per the airport utility.. use very short wireless names, different for both bands.. and fixed wireless channels.. then test which band works better.. Then you can do a link.. which will be slow but might give you better performance.
So..
Link1 Main AE1---- AEx1 This is wireless extend.
Link2 AEx1--ethernet--AE2. AE2 is in bridge mode and is also set to create a wireless network. (Use different wireless name here to prevent confusion).
Link3 AE2-----AEx2 Second wireless extend.
This overcomes the Apple limitation on multiple extends. It is not great setup but might get wireless to where you need it.. And better speed than you can get now.
NOTE>. I would personally never do this.. I will run ethernet forevermore.. having tried and tried in various places and using all kinds of equipment.. my conclusion is.. wireless is not suitable.. unless you can get enough signal in from one AP.. everything behind it must be ethernet.
It is much more expensive in some cases.. but ethernet works.. nothing else can be guaranteed to work.

Can I install a new SSD and Yosemete at the same time?

Using AExpress with mac and PC at the same time?!

I spent all day with this issue, not resolved some...but
I am getting a blinking amber light after reseting my airport express, but yet it is the only way it connects my mac and my pc together on the device at the same time, without shutting one out,
How can I get them to share the base station and have the normal green light? if they have a green light it disconnects my pc wirless connection. Are there shared settings somewhere?
windows xp pro sp3
wireless usb card: belkin F5D9050
mac macbook 10.5 osx
airport card/utility
airport express downloaded 5.4.3 version for windows

Thanks Tesserax
well, after 12 hours and trials I solved it myself, but I am considering more people have this issue, so I will share.
(make sure any adapter you buy is 802.11g/n/b compatible)
I had a Belkin F5D9050 USB card,
so install the latest updated driver for it, not the one with the cd!!!
found here: http://www.belkin.com/ca/support/article/?lid=enc&pid=F5D9050&aid=13773&scid=223
depending on your OS, pick one...but install driver first, then connect the usb card.
Then install the latest Airport Utility (*NOTE: there are alot of old ones that do not work out there!) Only use this one!
Airport Utility: 5.4.2 June 2009
http://support.apple.com/downloads/AirPortUtility_5_4_2Windows
If the AE utility doesn't detect your base station, press the reset button (until amber light flashes quickly), and then try re-scan again! do this until it shows up, then the installer will begin, if the amber light keeps blinking you need to reset again, once it works the lights will alternate between green and amber, then stay green.
IF YOU HAVE A MAC HOOKED UP: uninstall your airport base station from the unit for now, you can install it later after you configure your pc! The PC is sensitive and will not share the network, but mac will after.
Once the green light stays on you will be connected to wireless internet. Now you can connect your mac again.
I stumbled through this setup through trial and error, so do not quote me, but it worked for me.
If you have a password for it, write it down, you will need to enter it to connect to your base station again. This is the best way to stay online, and not have others stealing your wireless, or files.
You can share files to your PC and vise versa, just be sure to read up on sharing in Mac Osx.
If all goes well, now your PC and mac can be on the same base station at the same time.
If it works with amber light flashing it does, but is NOT connected right.
The light should be solid green.
TRUST ME, NO ONE HAS GOOD TIPS OUT THERE, AND CHAT SUPPORT DOES NOTHING!
I am sure I am forgetting something, but if you have an issue...just message me.

How to use airport express wired and wireless at the same time

Hi,
I currently have FiOS with Verizon, they ran a coax cable to the Verizon router. I didn't ask them to switch to CAT6 cable since I have an airport extreme base station and an airport express base station (both are the newest generation). I ran a CAT6 cable from the Verizon FiOS router to my AEBS (extreme) to make it the default wireless router. The Verizon router and extreme are in one room. Now, the Airport express is in my living. I'd like to extend the wireless network from the extreme. However, I can't seem to find a way to use both wired and wireless from the airport express at the same time. It's now either via wired, or wiresless. So is there a way to get both work?

Can you tell us if you used Apple's instructions for a "roaming" network?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4260
Although the instructions picture a 2nd AirPort Extreme in the illustrations, the setup instructions would be exactly the same for an AirPort Express.

Use sound output hdmi and bluetooth at the same time?

Hi
Im using a Mac mini and its connected to my magnifier and then to my TV.
I just bought a new speaker that I placed in my kitchen. I would like to play the same music in the livingroom and in the kitchen at the same time, is it possible?
My speaker got bluetooth and AUX.
I tried using midi but it doesn't work, is it because of the hdmi?

Brian
Regarding the HDMI and Optical, yes they are both active, I have HDMI to TV and OA to soundbar, both work simultaneously and stand alone too.

Can you use two bluetooth devices on iPad at the same time?

Want to use the wireless keyboard along with the Jambox wireless speaker. Will the iPad allow you to connect to two Bluetooth devices at once? Thanks!

Seven is the Bluetooth max, but you should probably not do more than three or four and then depending on the BT protocols that each device is using.
I use my Apple BT keyboard and my Cellular Innovations BT headphone clip at the same time without any issue whatsoever.

Can i do this? (wired and wireless at the same time?)

Hi all
My first time on these boards, Iam hopefully setting up a wireless network at home very soon. At the moment I have a cable modem that is 'hard wired' directly into my G5 imac that has no wireless cards installed. simple (so far)
Now... Iam getting a laptop very soon and wish to go wireless roaming the house etc so i will purchase an airport extreme at the same time.. is it possible to have my laptop on wireless and the G5 'hard wired' from the airport station providing 2 connections at the same time one wireless, one hard wired?
If not, what kit do i need to make this happen? apart from a wireless card for the G5 which id rather not do as id like that connection 100% stable and as fast as the 10mb will go..
Any help and advice would be appreciated.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The default settings of the AEBS works with most cable modems without any configuration changes needed.
The AEBS is a NAT router, meaning that it will be "seen" by your ISP as a single device. In turn, the AEBS will distribute private IP addresses, on the local network, to all of the computers connected to it (wired or wirelessly) because it has a built-in DHCP server. So in this case, each of your computers would be assigned an unique IP address.

G510 Can´t use keyboard and mouse at the same time

I got my y50-70 laptop four days ago for gaming and when i played portal for the first time i noticed I had a really hard time playing it. It wasn't until I was at Glados that I realized that it was because my laptop wouldn't recognize my finger movements while i was using the keys.
Ive been researching this for the past day and can't find the solution, and I believe its because my settings seem to be different? Ive looked at multiple solutions and everything says to turn palm checking off, but I dont have that option? I can turn it down, just not off (it does nothing btw). I was wondering if anyone else has found the solution to this problem yet and came here.
It would really help if you had pictures so I can figure out where to go in settings (a lot of the things Ive read has told me to go to a certain settings tab that I cant find??. Thank you so much btw!

Update: I clicked around and somehow disabled elan. My problem is solved but I no longer have two finger scrolling (my favorite feature). If you're looking for a solution to this problem and dont care about zooming, scroling, ect, what I think I did to disable it was rolled my driver for my mouse back. To get there just search for device manager, click on the one that says something about mouse, and go to the driver tab.
If you have another suggestion please suggest it!!! I can live without two finger scroll, but would like to have it :/
