Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme.

This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.

Theres almost a trick to it for first time users, goto SETTINGS...General......Cellular (if Verizon) ....Personal Hotspot, turn it on.....turn on wifi on your Mac, select your Iphone. Enter password.
If you take too long doing it, youll need turn turn off and on real quick the "personal hotspot" slider on the Phone.......then go quick again thur the Mac.

Bridge an AirPort Express from an Extreme connected to a Motorola DOCSIS 3 cable/modem/gateway via an ethernet cable? Can I connect ethernet to the Express to setup/handshake/coordinate, and then unplug the ethernet cable from the Express?

In other words, does the AirPort Extreme NEED to be the device connected to the coaxial cable, or can I connect that cable to the Motorola SBG6580 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem/wireless gateway? (My Internet provider requires DOCSIS 3.0 for speeds above 12 megabits/sec.)
Will the Airport Extreme "program" the Express via an ethernet cable, and than the cable can be removed?
The "bridge" or "repeater needs to be quite a distance away from the physically connected cable modem/wireless gateway and the ethernet- connected AirPort Extreme, and we have wall-to-wall carpeting, and the walls and ceilings are off-limits (family politics), so a looooong ethernet cable is out of the question.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
Thanx!
P.S. The 802.11 in my house (ground floor, about fifty feet away from the modem; in the living room about 35ft away *****! And Motorola touts this wireless gateway as having amazing coverage (360, I think they call it),but in fairness, this house is old and has a 5 hanset cordless landline and a microwave and a fan, etc., etc., etc......

Can i connect my hdvt to an airport express unit using an ethernet cable from the tv to the airport expree, thus joining my wireless network for movie downloads

i have a 40 pioneer kuro hdtv with ethernet jack.
i want to connect it to my local airport network. The tv has some kind of "network" capability.
Could i connect by using an airport express to the tv via an ethernet cable;
Sounds unlikely. (tv also has a usb port).
thanks for any advice.

Thanks for reply.
I mostly want to get some youtube videos and also to send some photos to this tv.
would the netgear WNCE2001 allow me then to connect the tv to the local wifi net?

Can I restore a Mac Pro with a .dmg made from a 10.6.8 iMac?

Is the above possible?
This article gives the following list of files to be removed before restoring to non-matching hardware:-
sudo rm /Volumes/imageName/var/db/BootCache.playlist
sudo rm /Volumes/imageName/var/db/volinfo.database
sudo rm /Volumes/imageName/System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
sudo rm /Volumes/imageName/System/Library/Extensions.mkext
sudo rm -r /Volumes/imageName/var/vm/swap*
However the article dates from 2004 and the days of 10.3. In my experience the only one of these files that still exists in the same location is volinfo.database while Extensions has become a directory.
Can anyone offer an updated list of files to remove to image to non-identical hardware? Or other advice on not having to spend 2 days or so building an entirely new image from scratch.
Thanks in advance,

A standard retail 10.6.8 system from an iMac should work without modification on a Mac Pro. I've done this myself many times. The last Mac Pro model came with 10.6.4 installed.
My MO is:
Repair hard drive and permissions on Source.
Clone Source to another hard drive using the Restore option of Disk Utility.
Test boot the clone to be sure it works.
Connect clone to Target machine and boot it from the clone.
Use Disk Utility's Restore to restore the clone to the Target.
Disk Utility can do this much faster than it takes to make a disc image. Furthermore, DU verifies the copies which precludes problems. Disc images on the other hand can be flakey and unreliable. They are also more easily corruptible than a clone. And, you can boot a clone. You cannot boot from a disc image. Third-party backup utilities can also be used to maintain incremental backups to the clone so you always have a current backup.

If I have a bootable copy of a disk running 10.4.11, is there any reason I can't swap out the internal drive of a newly purchased Mac Pro and have it boot from the tiger disk? Thanks very much for any insight.

or is there some sort of built in protection against this.

In addition, if you are talking about an older machine like a G4 or earlier with PATA drives, the Mac Pro uses SATA drives, so this is not a simple swap out, but if there's room an adapter like this might work in that situation:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/TPASA/
so that you could use the drive in the new computer to copy the data files, not for booting the OS.
If you need to transfer files from one machine to the other, you could do this over a network, or use FW target drive mode, or get a universal bare drive cable adapter.

Internet via interface 1, LAN via interface 2? How can this be done?

Hi,
I have a Mac Pro with 2 Ethernet interfaces, I will call them E01 & E02 from here on.
I have recently gotten my own ADSL line which runs over my own phone number so I have the ADSL Modem come into the E01.
I am however still required to be in the 'old' network that is setup in my house, so I figured I could just have E02 plug into our Airport Extreme to be able to local LAN connect that way.
Seeing as both E02 as well as E01 have internet access it seems that there is no way to tell my Mac to use E01 exclusively for internet access while using E02 only for LAN abilities but no internet activities.
I am hoping that someone here might know how I can configure this as it is quite annoying constantly having to disable E01 in the network settings, enabling E02, share a file over LAN then revert back to internet access on E01 by disabling E02.
I hope this makes sense, if not please ask me for more info.
Thanks for reading,
Jannis

Thanks for your help, however I am still slightly confused as to how this is supposed to work.
Just so we're on the same page of what I am trying to achieve I made a little sketch:
I have 2 internet lines that need to be used separately however I also need the File Sharing ability between my Mac Pro (bottom left in sketch) and the computers on the other side of the network (bottom right in sketch).
My computer will be using the internet from Modem #1, whereas all other computer should be using the internet provided by Modem #2.
I don't mean to dismiss your comments, it's just that I am still somewhat unclear on how I can have 2 internet lines running together into 1 network and then mapping 1 line to 1 computer and the other line to all other computer on the network.
Thanks again, hopefully the image will explain most of this better than my words.
Regards,
Jannis

Syncing between iPhoto on your iPhone and iPhoto on your Mac is one-way. You can sync selected albums, events, faces, places albums from your Mac to iPhoto on your iPhone using iTunes. This will not delete any albums you created on your iPhone, just add new albums. But albums you create on your iPhone cannot be synced to your Mac.
See this page on how to transfer photos from iPhoto on your iPhone to your Mac:

Connecting to Base Stations with an ethernet cable

Hi. Can anyone help figure this out please.
We have two airport extreme base stations at opposite ends of the building with one connected to the internet and printer etc and the other extending the network so everyone can access these services and each other.
Because they're some distance apart, we've connected the two base stations by ethernet cable with the second base station extending the network in Bridge Mode.
I can't figure out whether the ethernet cable from the main base station should go into the WAN or LAN ports on the back of the other base station. I've tried both and at the moment neither seem to be working.
Both base stations are brand new and the most recent model.
Can anyone advice on which port to sue and any settings I should be paying attention to please.
Cheers.

Welcome to the discussion area, chriscurtis!
I can't figure out whether the ethernet cable from the main base station should go into the WAN or LAN ports on the back of the other base station. I've tried both and at the moment neither seem to be working.
Suggest that you connect the ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on your main AirPort Extreme (AEBS) to the WAN (circle icon) on the remote AEBS. You may need to refer to some settings on your main AEBS to configure the remote AEBS correctly.
To effectively "extend" the network that your main AEBS is creating, you would configure the remote AEBS as follows using AirPOrt Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab below the icons to name your device, establish a device password and adjust Time Zone Settings
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network (Not Extend as you might think because Extend is only used if you are connecting devices using wireless only. You are connecting using Ethernet)
Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as your main AEBS network
Radio Mode = Automatic
Radio Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as on your main AEBS
Wireless Password = Exact same password as your main AEBS network
Confirm Password
Click the Internet tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update to save settings and you should be good to go. You have what is known as a "roaming" network because computers will automatically connect to the AEBS with the best signal as they "roam" around the building. The ethernet ports on the remote AEBS will be active as well in case you need to plug a device in at that location. Post back on any questions that you may have.

HT4889 Do I connect the two macs with the ethernet cable or do I have to connect both from the ethernet cable to the modem/router

Do I have to connect both macs directly with an ethernet cable without network connection to be able to transfer files/apps from the old to the new as I have tried migrating on the network without success.

They can be connected directly or via an existing network. Turn on File Sharing for the computer that will be sending files.
Using Migration Assistant will work best if the two computers are connected via Firewire cable. This assumes both computers have Firewire ports.

Can I special order a MacBook Pro with Western Spanish keyboard from a US retail store?

I'm going to the US for the holidays this year (I live in Europe), and want to buy a MacBook Pro there since it's around $500 cheaper. I know people can order a product online and have it delivered at a Mac Store, but I don't have a US billing address, so that won't be possible. Do you guys know if I can go to the store, tell them what I want, pay them with my European debit card, and pick it up a couple of days later? Or do I forcefully need a US credit card to special order a customized machine?
Thanks!

It's difficult to find a MacBook Pro with a US keyboard on a physical shop, but you should be able to order it at the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/se
If you can't order a MacBook Pro with a US keyboard from the Apple Online Store, call Apple and try to order it. Note that the delivery may be longer

HT3728 I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only. Can this be done and how?

I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only. Can this be done and how?

You can configure the AirPort Expess to "Join a wireless network" and enable the Ethernet port so that Ethernet devices will be able to connect.
In order to print from the iOS devices, you will need to have an application like Printopia installed on your Mac. The Mac must be active when you want to print.
More details here: Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
There is a free trial available for Printopia, so make sure that it will work before you buy the AirPort Express.

I am trying to extend my airport extreme signal to another airport extreme can this be done? I have tried several time using the automated set up but it keeps failing... I have selected every possible security/password encryption level... What am I doing wrong? If it os possible where can I find step by step instructions? Please & Thank you!

The challenge with the older round AirPort Extremes are that they are "g" wireless devices.
When you configure them for WDS, the speed on the wireless network is cut in half...and probably will not have the bandwidth required to stream video reliably from either AirPort Extreme since both are affected by the WDS setup.
There is not an "automated" setup for WDS. You have to do this manually on both AirPort Extremes. Unfortunately, it is not an easy configuration and it's easy to make a mistake and hard to recover without starting all over again.
Apple's instructions for WDS are here if you want to give it a try.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4262
It is possible that it might work. Keep us posted on your progress
Adding a single AirPort Express will unfortunately not help. You have to have "n" wireless devices at all router points.
