Can my Imac Intel serve as an Airport Source for a Macbook?

Hi! I'm new to Airport. I have an cable Internet connection going into my ethernet input on my Imac Intel 2.16 GHz. Can I use the Imac to send signals to my Macbook, which has an Airport card, or do I need to purchase a separate Airport base station?
If so, how do I set it up?
Thanks, and excuse my ignorance…
Ciao

If your imac has an airport card, then you can use this so that your macbook can connect:
system preferences > sharing. Tick the 'Internet Sharing' box, and configure everything here.
'share your connection' should be 'ethernet'
'To computers' should be airport. You may want to configure some sort of wifi security also

    What iMac is this ?
    If it is a 2009 or 2010 27" iMac than this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3924 could apply.

    How do i use my imac 21.5" 2011 as a display for my macbook pro late 2011, through thunderbolt cable ? I have tried and it doesnt seem to work, neither does target disk mode.
    Could it be a borked cable ? I just bought it new from the store today, i have updated both imac and macbook pro to latest thunderbolt firmware and updates. Both 10.7.3.

    You are correct, here is what Apple Says:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3775
    I was able to find these instructions, however they referr to 2009-2011 27" iMacs. I think it's the same, if it's not then contact Apple directly for instructions. If either of the machines is less than 90 days old or covered by AppleCare then call AppleCare tomorrow for help, they should be able to easily answer this for you. You will find the number in your manual or you can use the AppleCare Contact Info link.
    Your iMac should automatically recognize the presence of a digital video signal at the Mini DisplayPort and enter Target Display Mode.
    If your iMac does not automatically enter Target Display Mode, press command + F2 to manually enter Target Display Mode.

  • Using Oracle BI Server as a Data Source for Third Party Tools

    I have been researching how to use the Oracle BI Server as a data source for two days now. I have not yet found a solution to my problem.
    We have a remote user who is pulling data from one of our Oracle databases using automated tools. This data base is essentially being replaced by Oracle Analytics. However, we do not want this user to get at the physical tables of Analytics, rather, we want the user to be able to connect to the Oracle BI Server itself, and issue Logical SQL to pull data.
    Here are the requirements which I need to be fulfilled:
    1) The ability for a remote user to connect to the BI Server as a data source.
    2) The remote user must be able to do this on a Unix box.
    3) The remote user must be able to automate the process of issuing SQL to the BI Server. (Command line interface is preferable)
    4) The solution needs to be easily implementable, that is, this solution will be implemented many times over.
    I found many articles explaining how to set up a Windows box to connect to the BI Server in this way. However, these articles outline how to use tools like Excel and Microsoft Query to pull data from the BI Server. Our current user is using SQLplus.
    If possible, I would like the user to continue using SQLplus as the tool for connecting to and retriving information from our BI Server. I have tested using SQLplus many different ways to no avail. I have also tried using other tools, such as Oracle SQL Developer.
    Is there a program out there that will fulfill the needs I have outlined above? Or, does someone know of a way to use SQLplus to connect to the Oracle BI Server as a data source? Or, is there a series of solutions which will fulfill the needs outlined above?

    I agree it would be inefficient but only because you are using OBIEE for something it was not designed to do. You are basically asking for a "DB feed" and that should designed using PL/SQL, DB Links, Web Services or whatever is your entreprise standard to send data from one system to another. Using OBIEE for this seems a bad architecture decision to me.You are correct, the BI Server is not really intended to be queried like another Oracle Database remotely. However, the reason we are trying to do it this way is twofold:
    1) We want to enforce data level security.
    2) The BI Server has been fine tuned for high performance.
    Forcing the end users to go through the BI Server rather than directly to the physical tables or other sorts of systems built on top solves both of these issues.
    I think you are wrong. I don't see why SQLPlus should be able to query the BI Server. The BI Server can sit on top of many different DBs not just Oracle, even flat files etc. So you can't really expect the BI Server to able to translate all that into Oracle SQL output so you can query it using SQLPlus. The BI Server is not an Oracle RDBMS.You're right again. The BI Server isn't an Oracle RDBMS, and I have been wanting to treat it like one. From the data I have gathered SQLPlus can't query the BI Server.
    However, my research has led me to realize that the BI Server supports the JDBC API. Therefore, (I should have went down this route in the first place) one can use the JDBC driver provided by Oracle (bijdbc14.jar) to interface with the BI Server. There are many programs and applications out there that support the JDBC API and let us connect to BI Server the way we want to. Furthermore, these programs are mostly platform independent, as they are mostly written in Java.
    Lastly, from what I understand the NQCMD program can be installed on any platform as well (provided by Oracle). This is another option to connect to the BI Server as well.
    Thanks for your help and your comments as I went through this process of discovery.

  • Where can I get an additional power source for my MacBook Pro?

    I am travelling to Europe next week and will be travelling on the road quite often. I would like to get some work done during that time. My laptop battery will inevitably run out of power during that time and I would like to carry an additional power source with me so I can get some extra juice when I am nowhere near an outlet.
    I have the latest MacBook Pro where the battery is not removable.
    Where can I get an additional power source for my MacBook Pro? I don't mind if it is a 3rd party product.

    you could get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-XP18000-Universal-External-Netbooks/dp/B002K8M9H C
    it's about the same cost as an extra battery used to be. there's a range of similiar products at Amazon, i'd check reviews.

  • How can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3

    Does anyone know how can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3. Thanks.

    Sean and Andy -
    I have to agree with Andy here. I am having the same problem on a mid 2010 MBP (6,2). I have already read the AHT info provided by Sean's link, and they are less than helpful. I'm sure they will be helpful to those who find that they work, but they are confusing if this is not the case. For example, my MBP(6,2) came with ONE (not two) installation disks, so the instructions don't work for me. Another issue is the instructions confound the descriptions related to the MBP, the original (delivered) software (OS X version), and the current installed OS X upgrade software.
    So here's what does NOT work for me... 
         (A) I cannot install 'Disk 2', since I never received this with my original (new) purchase in mid 2010.
         (B) I have checked my firmware versions and they are all up to date, as per Apple's information.
         (C) As suggested in another thread, I looked for /Library/Core Services/.diagnostics and it was NOT present. I followed his instructions, downloaded the correct (I believe) dmg, and installed it. It is in the correct place, and I can see all the invisible files using Pathfinder.
         (D) When I re-start holding down the D key (immediately), it just goes through the normal boot routine; no evidence of AHT.
         (E.1) When I re-start holding down OPT-D, I get a spinning globe, and then it prompts me for a network (wi-fi) connection.
         (E.2) For some unknown reason, the prompt identifies between 2 and 5 of my --neighbors'--  routers, but does not show mine. (??!!)
         (E.3) The routers are listed alphabetically; however, my router SHOULD be at the top of the list by this criterion, but it is nowhere to be seen.
         (E.4) The 'internet recovery' process then allows me to enter a network name AND password. I do this, for my current wi-fi router, and the process rejects it as an incorrect login ID. It is NOT an incorrect login ID! 
    So, now asking Sean and Andy (or anyone else) for further suggestions... ???  As Andy suggested, many people ask questions here because they have -already- worked through the 'official' recommendations, and have found them to be inadequate.
    Any advice would be appreciated!  TIA.

  • Can I upgrade my RAM from 4GB to 8GB for my MacBook Pro 13(early 2011 2.7GHz)? And how much would it be?

    Can I upgrade my RAM from 4GB to 8GB for my MacBook Pro 13(early 2011 2.7GHz)? And how much would it be?

    you can upgrade to 16GB if you wish to do so...
    average price for 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 is around $50 - $75 depending on the brand.
    why not spend $100 and go with 16GB 1333MHz from Crucial or Corsair.
    you can get them from Amazon.com or newegg.com
    see image below with 16GB Patriot Mac Series 1333MHz for $100.

    This happens approx 10 mins or so after restarting the machine.
    The IP i'm pinging is the router on my network. All other machines that ping to this IP are returning around <5ms pings so I know it's not the router.
    When I connect via ethernet I get <5ms as well so I know it's not another program on my mac causing issues.
    I've tried connecting wirelessly to an Airport Extreme, Airport Express and directly to the Netgear DG384 wireless box, they all have the same issue.
    Any help out there!?
    Thanks

    Update- I deleted HP via Hp uninstall and also did a search on HD and deleted anything that siad HP. Reinstalled HP prpgram via original CD, then downloaded and installed OS 10.6 drivers and software from HP website then ran Apple software update and it updated 2 files and restarted the computer. The HP photosmart studio still did the same thing running very slow and not responding to clicking on any command. I called HP and they don't have Apple support on Sundays. Not sure if they will ever help me b/c I don't have extended service plan or they want to charge me. Apparently fro do google searches, they have been problems with the software and OS X 6-Snow Leopard. It's funny, I can print but just not use the photosmart software anymore. The problem seams to have worsened after I made a picture DVD using iDVD.- Where does iDVD get installed from? It's not part of iLife. I may uninstall iDVD and reinstall if I know where I got it from and see if that helps. I did run iPhoto yesterday and except for taking a long time to import my photos (hours for 1,600 picutres), it seems to run fine, so I can use that as long as I can use the printer to print and scan. I uninstalled HP again and was going to try reinstalling and only doing the Apple software update after and see if that chances anything. I will try calling HP after I have the software back on my computer. If I do decide to buy a new printer=- any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • Can't change DNS server setting on airport express

    new airport express, comcast cable ISP, i cannot change the DNS server settings, they are greyed out.  why  is there no way to change this?

    Mark-
    Did you get the AE to actually use the OpenDNS servers?  I have the new AE and Airport Utility 6.3.1 and while I can enter the OpenDNS server settings (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220), they don't work.  When I use a Wi-Fi connected device (my iPhone, for example) it sill uses the Comcast DNS settings, totally ignoring the OpenDNS settings.  I don't know when they stopped working, but they worked in the past.  I've used the old Airport Utility as well (5.6) and it says the OpenDNS settings are active, but they aren't.
    I want to use the OpenDNS settings for Wi-Fi connected devices in my home for content filtering.  If anyone knows of a DOCSIS 3 cable modem that allows setting DNS servers, that would be an option too, but unfortunately, my Motorola SurfBoard SBG6580 does not.

    Unless the MBP has Thunderbolt you can't use the iMac as an external monitor unless you get ScreenRecycler. If the MBP does have Thunderbolt you need a Thunderbolt cable. Because Thunderbolt is so new finding a cable could be quite a challenge, you may want to contact Lacie and see if they can sell you one other than that I have no idea where to find one now.

    FWIW, my own (ugh) install of 11.1.1.3 32 bit on my laptop (oh, soon I am going to jettison this thing and move to a 32 gig laptop) I am using SQL Server 2005. A client from last year used the same release of SS but I think the 64 bit release. John Booth's EPM AMI uses SQL Server Express 2008. IOW, yeah, you can totally use SQL Server with the EPM suite. I think that there is an exception for ERPi, but I could be wrong about that. For sure I used ODI 11.1.1.5 with SQL Server as I (gasp) set that up myself out on the cloud.

  • Can Discoverer be used as an XML Data source for XMLP ?

    I am wondering if Discoverer can generate an XML Data Source for XMPL.
    I have heard that Discoverer Viewer can have XML as an output. Is there a way of using this XML output with XMLP and, if yes, how to batch both steps ?

    Hi
    My understanding is that Discoverer does not generate XML data as an ouput that XMLP can consume. The XML is does generate is actually an XML RDF for Oracle Reports.
    XMLP is integrated thou, when you export your Disco report to PDF thats XMLP doing the conversion to PDF for you.
