Can I use AE with Mac at home and PC on road.

Currently I use my AE at home to enable wireless printing with my airport extreme base station between my powermac, a mac mini and a windows laptop. The AE is configured using the airport admin utility on my powermac.
So my question is can I take my AE with me when I'm on the road with my win laptop and setup wireless internet in my hotel room. I'm assuming to do this I'd have to change the firmware in the AE to the windows version or am I able to just download the windows airport utility and not have to change firmware?
Thanks

PWH,
Yes you could take the AE unit with you, but you would only get wireless internet in your room if the hotel offered broadband through an Ethernet port. You'll find more and more hotels now offer wireless access in their rooms.
As you are wanting to change the functionality of the AE unit while on the road, you will need the Airport configuration software for the OS you will be travelling with. There's nothing as drastic as changing the firmware in the AE unit. You will find that the settings you left in the AE unit while configuring on your PowerMac will be re-configurable with the Windows Airport software. You can install the Windows Airport software on your laptop now and configure the AE unit just as easily as you can from your PowerMac.

I installed 5 but now I can't use it with Mac osx - how do I go back to my old version?!

I was prompted to install Firefox 5 on my Mac. Now when I try to open it says I can't use Firefox with osx. How do I go back to using the previous version - has it been written over? My previous version was fine!

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Can I use iCloud with my iPod nano and windows laptop?

not clear how to use iCloud with an iPod Nano and a Win 8.1 PC

iCloud doesn't work with the iPod nano directly, and will only work on a PC with an already-existing iCloud account; these need to be created from a Mac or an iOS device.

I know this may be a lame question, but can I use Thunderbird with my Chrome browser and gmail account?

I don't presently have firefox browser and have been very comfortable with Chrome for years now; can I use Thunderbird with my Chrome browser? I want to manage a large mailing list for a non-profit group that wants me to use Thunderbird.
thank you,
Reuben

If you got someone else email than that's a BIG error and it has nothing to do with whatever client you are using. You send your credentials to gmail and they connected to another account, not even Google would like to do that.
Either you send the wrong credentials and then you happend to have the same password as this other account. Try using webmail on that account.
Change your password!!! If you can access that account he/she can access yours.

Can I use iCloud with Mac OS X - version 10.6.8

I have Mac OS-X version 10.6.8 on my MacPro. Can I use iCloud?

You can purchase Lion from Apple's website. You will be emailed a redemption code where you can download it from the App Store. Alternatively, you can upgrade directly to Mavericks (which is free, availible in App Store) if your system supports it:
OS X Lion (10.7) - Apple Store (U.S.)

HT201335 Can i use airplay with the apple tv and airport express without an internet connection? Basically Set it up as a closed network?

I was told I could set a local network with the airport express, apple Tv, and my iPad to stream videos or pictures to a TV for a presentation.
No internet connection is available at the location.
Is that possible? Or do I need to access itunes homeshare with an internet connection to make this work?
I've set it up at home where I have an internet connection and it works fine but I want to move the setup to my church for a class. The data I'm using is stored on my ipad.
I know I can do this wired with the HDMI adapter but would like to do it wireless.
Thanks for any help!

Ok so we now have a solution to the problem. A friend of mine came round to work this out with me last night and we were able to get it working, but it is not as easy as I had hoped. Fisrtly we plugged the airport express into my router using the ethernet cable (for this I am using an Airport Express Base Station") and in airport utilities selected the airport express. In edit, we then gave the airport express a new range of IP address which did not conflict with any of the other applications that I have already assigned. We also named the Airport Express with a distinguishable name. We then waited for the changes to be registered then unplugged the Airport Express from the router. I then plugged my AppleTV via HDMI into a tv to test it and selected the new wifi network with the new Airport Express distinguishable name. I was able to watch a video that I have on my ipad directly on my tv without being connected to the internet, and was able to play Airplay presentations.
No the easiest solution, and certainly not something that anyone at Apple has talked me through in my lengthy conversations with them at Applecare.
Hope this helps.

Can I dual boot with MAC OS/X and Windows

What is the best way to configure a dual boot on my MAC Bookpro laptop? Also, can I dual boot Windows 8 and MAC OS?

The first alternative is a dual-boot arrangement between OS X and Windows provided with OS X.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
   1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
         XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
         4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
         instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
         installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
         installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
         computer into OS X or Windows.
     2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
         Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
         virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
         with OS X.
     3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
         or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
         enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
     4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
         applications without having to install Windows. The
         Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
     5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
         as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
         It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
         Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Can we use ODI with Informatica for Planning and Essbase

If we have Informatica datawarehouse, can I use ODI to integrate with Essbase and Planning ? Or do we need to buy informatica adapters for essbase/planning ?

Thank you John, for your response. We are accessing our options as to which way to go. We dont have licenses for ODI for Essbase or Planning. We have informatica expertise we would like to use them. The confusion is should we buy the adapters for informatica or licenses for ODI. I understand having ODI with Informatica would add an additional integration layer.

Android & WM6.5 devices can't use ActiveSync with Exchange 2013, ADFS and WAP.

Bit of a long winded title but I was trying to sum up the issue.
Newly installed Exchange 2013 environment; we've setup external access for OA and ActiveSync. We've used ADFS with WAP to publish the necessary paths etc. We've setup DNS and firewall rules etc.
OA is perfect and can be accessed by anything with a browser. ActiveSync is perfect for any new Windows Mobile device and any iOS device. When we've tried to sync older WM6.5 or any Android device, it just doesn't seem to want to work.
We've checked logs on both devices; the WM6.5 complains about a cert issue however we've took every step from installing the CA, RA and actual cert on the device to no avail. Some android device complain about using the port 443 but no matter what
we change this to it still won't sync.
Unfortunately my suggestion of 'just give everyone a new phone' went down as well as...well lets just say not good :)
I appreciate this might be an ADFS\WAP issue but thought I'd rule Exchange out first so any advice is much appreciated.

We are having issues on connecting ActivySync on Microsoft Exchange 2013.
OWA,OutlookAnywhere is working
ActiveSync is not working.
can you help us or share the configuration.
We have Used MS UAG2010 SP4 to publish Exchange 2013 SP1 (On premises).

Furqan

Can I use Skype with a macbook air and the face time camera

I am an Imac user and learning this new macbook air. I have face time on this and am wondering if I can use skype with the facetime camera of if I need to add a remote web cam? I am not seeing the video function in skype.

I've used mine a few times within Skype. No issues.
The FT camera is suitable for any application requiring a camera, notwithstanding the "not so hot" resolution of the built-in camera on the MBA.
Check the Audio/Video tab within Skype Preferences to select the built-in camera.

How Can I Use IMovie with 6TB of Home Movies?

I have 6TB of home movies on a Thunderbolt WD hard drive. Recently the thumbnails and video has stopped loading and I can't get IMovie to load it all up. Is there any solution to use this much video with IMovie?

Thanks so much Karsten. So the fact I'm doing all this now is basically a culmination of (a) old mini-DV technology which meant dealing with the tapes was a hassle for many years (b) Mom & Dad just taking alot of video of alot of the kids, family trips, births, parties, first day's of school, etc. over about a 15+ year period and (c) Now that we finally have the technology to start to deal with all these tapes WITHOUT making DVDs (I tried several years ago, just way to time intensive) and we have big hard drive technology relatively cheaply, I'm trying to tackle this.
The first step was importing 300+ min-DV tapes into IMovie, which took the better part of a year, on and off. I now have three back-up drives of all that data. (BTW, I am a die-hard MAC user so everything has to be MAC compatible).
My primary goal for the near term is really not to try to craft neat summarized videos of family events. That will come later. The initial goal it to get all of this into some understandable and usable format. For starters, when pulled up in Imovie, this 15 years of video all just comes out as a gazillion NEW EVENT 3-12-2004-type headings, organized chronologically, which is essential, but with no ability to really know what is what. I've gone through about a third of the headings and renamed, merged and split them into events with names like Billy's Third Birthday Party or New Zealand Trip Day 5 or Sally's First Day at School, etc. etc. No editing of the actual content what-so-ever at this point.
What I have discovered, in the process, though, is that the kids LOVE to watch the unedited video of themselves as children...I have to turn it off to get them to stop watching. Videoing them watching the video actually makes for great video, because they find it a laugh a minute, they vaguely remember various things and places and they have tons of questions about their past childhood. That's largely what this record was kept for.
Thus, my immediate goal is to get it all into a format with Events all named properly so we know where important events are located, and from there, I'd ideally like to be able to convert key events to Iphone/Ipad/Apple TV mediums to the kids can watch some of it when they'd like - unedited.
The next step (maybe a year or so down the road) is to actually start to try to make the edited "Christmas Party 1998" video, vs. just the raw footage, for the wider family and friends that participated. A single edited video though can take hours and hours I've learned the hard way.
The problem I'm having is that as I brought in the last 1TB or so of video (2010-2013) from my current Imovie library (which is all digital to start with, no mini-DV tapes involved), now IMovie has stopped loading all the thumbnails (it loads only a portion), so combining, merging, splitting and naming Events is very difficult.
I tried importing it all into FCPX using the free trial, but I found that for whatever reason, instead of ordering things chronologically starting in 1996 forward, that the dates only start in 2012. Somehow FCPX doesn't recognize the encoded date the video was shot, but instead the dates that I copied it onto my current hard drive. Can't figure that out, but it makes it impossible to then organize things easily by date since all the events are scattered all around, instead of in chronological order.
Sorry this is long, but this is the problem I'm facing. I'd really appreciate an expert's opinion of how to tackle this!:)

HT3748 since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mail no longer works well w/exchange email; so, I have had to switch back to outlook. Now, how can I use outlook for mac's calendar and contacts with icloud?

Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?

Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
"The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.

HT4759 How can I use iCloud with MAC OSX Ver 10.6.8?

Mobile Me has been discontinued and my under 3 yr old MAC does not have the system requirements to support iCLOUD. Trying to find an iphone with an app that will work on a MAC OSX Ver 10.6.8.
Thanks

You're welcome. In order to connect to your iCloud account on your Mac it has to be running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. You would need to upgrade to either Lion or Mountain Lion in order to set up iCloud if your system meets the system requirements.
Lion system requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Mountain Lion system requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
If you can run Mountain Lion, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store. If you can only run Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a download code to download it from the Mac App Store.
After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

Can't use iTunes with Windows Vista Home Premium

I have deleted and reinstalled so many times, so i tried the compatibility settings and set it to work for Windows XP(Service Pack 2) with 256 colours. It works, but it messes up all my colours.
Help, please.
(My brother got iTunes working on his Windows Vista Home Premium laptop, but it won't work for the desktop computer.)

i think the file name quicktime.msi is causing the problem
also forgot to add that installation stops when the status turns to computing space requirements
