Can't use aircard with airport on

I use an aircard (wireless modem) hooked to a Usb port to access the internet and I have an airport express hooked to my stereo and a printer to stream music or print from my laptop. They both work fine alone, but if I have my airport on to print or stream music, my aircard doesn't work. If I turn my airport off it works just fine. How can I use my aircard and still listen to music or print while I'm online? I'm new to Macs, so hopefully it will be something simple.

You probably have your networks set up in reverse order. Go to Sys Pref, select Network. You will want your aircard listed first and airport somewhere after that. If they are not, click on the little daisy wheel down at the bottom of the list of networks. A menu will pop open, select "Set Service Order". Drag your aircard to the top of the list. Safari will start at the top of the list when looking for an internet connection. right now it is trying to connect through the aircard since it sees it as an active network and never goes past it to the others.

  • Can't Use Safari with AirPort Internet Sharing Switched on

    Happy New Year All (for tomorrow).
    Just got an IPod Touch and a brand spanking new G5 iMac with AirPort built in (and what a beautiful machine it is...). I have switched on Internet Sharing i.e. "Internet Sharing: On (Sharing your Built-in Ethernet connection)". At the moment, I'm taking my ADSL into the iMac via a DSL Modem Router and then ethernet cable into the back of the iMac (until I get a wireless modem router). However, my iPod touch doesn't seem to be able to connect to share the internet connection over AirPort. A couple of nights ago, it connected and worked fine for about ten minutes then gave up. I haven't been able to get it to work since.
    The Airport Symbol in the status bar (top right of screen) shows an arrow pointing upwards (I assume this means internet sharing is "On"). I'm running 10.5.1 And on another note, my wife's iPhone has the same problems.
    If I get a wireless modem router, will this problem go away?

    I've never messed with interne sharing. However, reading your post would seem to give a clue: Internet Sharing: On (Sharing your Built-in Ethernet connection). It sounds as if it's only sharing the ethernet (cabled)connection, not the Airport (WiFi) connection. I'm not at a Mac right now so I don't know if there's a way to change that setting. Also, if I recall correctly, people have reported problems sharing an Internet connection with a Mac. I don't remember the details as it wasn't an issue for me.
    I have my DSL plugged into an Airport Extreme Base station. Service is distributed both by Ethernet cable and by wireless from there. The Touch connects beautifully.

  • Use aircard with Airport?

    I have a Verizon (usb) air card for access with my laptop. Is there a way to use the air card at home with my Airport Extreme so that my wife and I may share the connection?

    Hi,
    You could try a special adapter (similar to this one) in order to transform the output to Ethernet (to be connected to the WAN port of the AirPort Extreme base station). Make sure that the adapter has support for the USB mobile broadband modem in question.

  • Can I use an old Airport Extreme as an extender with a new Airport Express

    Hi All,  I have Verizon Fios and the data line runs into my bedroom.  I purchased a new Airport Express today to replace the Airport Extreme (from 2006).  Can I use the old Airport Extreme as an extender (I'd like to set it up in the basement as I get poor connectivity there).  I tried using the Airport Utility - Other WiFi Devices to find the Airport Extreme, but it's not registering. Is what I'm attempting possible?  If so, how do I set it up?

    Can I use the old Airport Extreme as an extender
    Is this the "round" or "dome" shaped AirPort Extreme?
    If yes, then it is not possible to have the AirPort Extreme wirelessly "extend" the signal from the AirPort Express.
    However, the older AirPort Extreme can probably be set up to provide more wireless signal coverage if it will connect back to the LAN <--> port on the AirPort Express using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
    In this case, the setup of the older AirPort Extreme will require that you have an older version of AirPort Utility installed on your computer. If it is a Mac, then the Mac must be running Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with AirPort Utility could be used to set up and configure the older Extreme.
    f you have the "square" or "flat" version of the AirPort Extreme, then everything becomes much easier. Post back if you do.

  • Can I use the internal airport card of my Mac as a BRIDGE?

    * My Mac is part of my home network.
    * My wired Router provides NAT addressing for all wired computers and printers.
    Question:
    Can I use the internal airport card of my Mac as a BRIDGE?
    I am able to create a second LAN where the internal airport card, creates it's own network, but then the wireless computers are not on the same network as the wired.
    If using an Airport Express, there is an option you can uncheck "assign IP address" that turns it into a bridge.... Is there anything similar with os X 10.4.3

  • Can I use my new airport time capsule 3TB for my personal cloud

    I am trying to get my own personal cloud. Can I use my new airport time capsule to accomplish this?

    The Time Capsule stores data on its internal drive and not in the cloud. If you want it actually put in the cloud, it needs to be separately set up with a hosting or storage service.

  • Can I use a second Airport Express on the 1st floor to boost the signal from the 2nd floor Airport Express?

    We have a wiFi network with on Airport Express on the upper floor. Watching NetFlix via AppleTV on the television downstairs is annoying since it stops to buffer the video every few minutes (NetFlix works smoothly upstairs, closer to the Airport Express). Can I use a 2nd Airport Express downstairs to boost the signal? If so, how do I configure it?

    Yes, you can use a second 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) to extend the range of the first one.
    Here are the basic steps to do so:
    Dynamic WDS - Extending a Wireless Network Setup
    If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    Open AirPort Utility, and then, select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then, click Wireless.
    Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
    Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
    Enter the base station network and base station password if necessary.
    Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

  • Can I use a second Airport Express unit to printe wirelessly?

    I have an Airport Express unit connected to my amplifier and my modem in order to listen to music wirelessly.  I would like to use my Cannon ip4300 printer the same way.  Can I use a second Airport Express unit to connect the printer to my modem?  If so, how is it done?  I am concerned about a conflict between the two Airport Express units.  Thank you.

    I do just this with a ip4200 printer - you "extend" the Airport network with the second Airport then plug the printer into the USB port, (you could plug it into the USB port of the first Airport as well)
    In the Airport utility (use 5.6 or 5.6.1) select the Printers tab and it should be there.

  • How can I use my old AirPort Express?

    How can I use my old AirPort Express (the one that plugs right into the wall without a power cable) to stream music to a stereo when I am using the new Airport Express?  The AirPort Utility 6.1 will not recognize the old AirPort Express.

    Apple does not make it easy for you to use an older device when they want you to buy newer devices.
    See this link for tips on how to install a version of AirPort Utility on Mountain Lion that will allow you to configure your older Express:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1167965/mountain_lion_and_the_ancient_airport_ba se_station.html
    This is not supported by Apple, so it is your decision on whether you want to move forward with this. It works fine for me, but I cannot guarantee that it will work for you, nor offer support if you have difficulty.

  • I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way?

    I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way? I appreciate that it is a different computer but I am now the end user of both devices and I was just wondering if it was possible.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    The answer would be in your software license agreement for Aperture. However if you cannot locate it you can ask in the Aperture forum, the link for that is:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/aperture
    However I believe you can have Aperture installed on two machines however only one may be using it at a time.
    On the new iMac launch the Mac App Store - Purchased - look for Aperture and download to your new machine.

  • 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

  • How can I use LCCS with ActionScript 3 and Flash CS4?

    Hi,
    Using Stratus I was able to create an an application using Action Script 3 and Flash CS4.  The sample code on the Adobe site was quite straight forward and easy to understand.  I now want to switch over to  LCCS but can't find anything any where on how to use Action Script 3 and Flash CS4 with LCCS.  Do I need to know Flex to be able to use LCCS?  Everything was quite simple and easy to understand with Stratus and makes complete sense.  But LCCS is really confusing.  Is there any sample code on how to establish a connection in Action Script 3 and then stream from a webcam to a client.  There is nothing in the  LCCS SDK that covers Flash and Action Script 3.  Please help!  I found the link below on some forum but it takes me nowhere.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the LCCS world.
    Please refer to the SDK's sampleApps folder. There would be an app called FlashUserList. The app demonstrates how LCCS can be used with Flash CS4. Its a  pretty basic app, but should help you moving.
    We are trying to improve our efforts to help developers in understanding our samples. Please do let us know if we can add something that would help others.
    Thanks

    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
