Can you select which Airport your to which Mac should associate?

I have the following:
Internet
|
| (Cat6)
|
Router (Cisco RVS4000)
|
| (Cat6)
|
Switch (Cisco 3750)
|
| (Cat6)

AEBS (AP mode, creating 2.4GHz n only)
/ (Wireless 2.4Ghz n)
AX (Extending SSID on AEBS above)
The AEBS is in the basement office and AX is on the first floor.  When I take the MBP outside it stays associated with the AEBS with a really weak signal instead of associating with the AX that is much closer and in line of sight.  If the signal from the AEBS is weak enough the MBP will associate with the AX and the connection is great.
Is there a way to manually force the MBP to associate with the AX without defining mac address filters?

Although, by theory, the wireless client should switch to the stronger signal, unfortunately, this doesn't always work out as planned when using an extended network. I found better results doing this when configuring for a roaming network. However, that would require an Ethernet connection between both base stations to make this happen.

  • Can you select which of your Sites you want iWeb to publish?

    Dudes,
    I've just moved my webhosting over from a commercial company to MobileMe, using my own domain name - so now everything is done through iWeb 08.
    All going fine except one problem:
    In iWeb, I have two "Sites" - my website proper, and another called "Stuff" which I use to test out ideas, store text and photos that aren't ready to go live yet, experiment on etc.
    However, when I hit "Publish", iWeb publishes BOTH sites. This never used to be a problem when I'd Publish To Folder for FTP-ing, because I would only ever upload the actual website (naturally). However, now I'm publishing direct to MobileMe, it sends BOTH up to the cloud! My website is obviously hosted on my domain name, and the other on the long MobileMe name (me.com/etc etc).
    My question is - is there any way to select which Sites to Publish, or will iWeb automatically just publish them all?
    Ideally I'd like to deselect "Stuff" and only Publish my website.
    Otherwise, I can see no other option than to delete "Stuff".
    I'm sure there must be a way, otherwise, how else could you work on more than one website??
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    That's a problem with iWeb 08. If you want to control each site separately you can separate the two sties into two separate domain files. I use iWebSites to manage over 40 individual sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
    NOTE: You may find that the MMe servers are much slower than commercial servers. That's been a major bone of contention with many of the users, particularly those with commercial sites. Also MMe has no direct support, i.e. ear to ear support. It's the general consensus that for commercial sites it's best to use a commercial hosting service that offers unix hosting. You can do a search in this forum and get more options on that. Actually, it's against the Terms of User for MobileMe to host a commercial server but I've not heard of that being enforced.

  • How can you select which pictures to upload from camera? plus facebook ?

    Is there any way to select which pictures from your digital camera you would like to upload on to iphoto? Or is the only way to upload all of the pictures on your camera? I have 214 pictures on my camera and 210 of them are already in iphoto...i only want to upload the new 4!
    Another question..
    I am trying to upload my pictures on to Facebook, and they are significantly smaller than the pictures I uploaded via my PC. How can I get them to upload at normal size?
    THANKS!

    Re: the FaceBook problem
    This sounds like you're uploading the Thumbnails that iPhoto uses to display the pics in the iPhoto Window not the pics themselves. Have you been uploading from the Data folder in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Can you select which tracks willplay during slideshow?

    I synched all my music to my ATV. It works well.
    But when I have photo slideshows I do not want to use all my library. ATV lets me choose one album for slideshows, but I would like to choose several. Is there a way to get the remote to allow you to check more than one album in the photos-settings-slideshow-music setting?

    Hi jfabian!
    Thanks for posting.
    What you are experiencing is correct.  It is not possible to select images while a slideshow is playing in ImageBrowser EX.

  • HT5035 Can you select whether to use a gift card or your credit card when purchasing

    I have iTunes gift cards but don't always want to redeem them. Sometimes I want to use my credit card.  Do you have to automatically redeem the gift cards or can you select credit even if your gift card has a balance?

    You can't choose which to use to pay for your order. The default order of payment is free credits first, if you have some, then store credits then credit card. I'm not sure how to explain this but this is what I know. You can contact support if you want for more info.

  • Where do you select which program you want to open files with a particular extension?

    Where do you go to select which program should open files with particular extensions?

    if you right click on the file and select get info, a window will open. Click on the "open with" and the window will expand. There you can select which application you want that document to open with. If you want to open ALL documents of that type with a specific application click the change all button.

  • Can I select which components will have auto binding turned on?

    To be honest, the only reason I don't use JDeveloper full time is due to this reason only.
    Can I select which components will have auto binding turned on?
    I don't see the need or reason to bind every single component in the page to your backing bean.
    This can clutter up your backing bean and all the searching for the bindings that I do care about is a real time waster.
    I've looked at the preferences and settings without much luck, thus I'd appreciate any thoughts on this topic.
    Thanks,

    To make sure I understand your response, your refering to Managed Beans as your Backing Beans - I thought the two were the same thing.
    Moving on, that is a good idea and I'll try it right now in a test project.

  • Can you see which apps are open and/or running like you can on an android phone by going to settings applications running services?

    can you see which apps are open and/or running (like you can on an android phone by going to settings>applications>running services)?

    Hi wjosten,
    thank you for the help.  I should have said I had a iphone 3.  A friend has the same phone and she showed me how she can see what web pages are open when she double taps the home button.  Mine is set to bring up favourites when I double tap (chosen from settings>general>home button).. BUT my choices are only HOME; SEARCH; PHONE FAVORITES; CAMERA or IPOD.  I changed my choice to HOME but that just defeats the purpose as when I am at the home page and double tap nothing happens.  Am I making sense?

  • HT4914 How can you tell which songs are downloaded from the cloud on an ipad

    How can you tell which songs are downloaded on the iPad from the cloud?

    I know ipad albums are more like tagging photos rather than putting them in folders. I just have a nagging feeling I missed some pics and I have too many to try to go figure out one by one. I don't look at my photos from the camera roll, only from albums I tagged just because I imported photos from different sources and the dates and order is really messed up. I just want to know that I am viewing all the photos from like this vacation or that event and there's none I missed that are only in the camera roll.

  • Can i select which plots show in graph?

    Hey guys, I want to know
    if I have a graph and I have like 8 plots
    can I select which plot show like, in some cases I want to see only 2 plots, in other case I want to see 1 plot only, and other time I want to see all the plots, can I select or make something to make it happens?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello Gerd,
    I found another way than coloring the plot transparent (btw. with better performance for huge data graphs). It has another advance since the graph remembers the original color.
    greets, Dave
