Can you use 2 Aiport Express's; one as a base station & one to extend range

I have 2 Express units. Would like to use one as base station and one as a booster to extend the signal. Can this be done, or do you have to have an Extreme? I have 2 expresses as want to be able to use airtunes on 2 seperate stereos (not necessarily at same time). My cofig would be have cable modem ethernetted to the 1st Express, and have it also hooked to cable; computer in same room. 2nd Express is downstairs, near anohter stereo. Would like the one computer to send airtunes to both stereos ultimately.
Have tried using airport admin utility ap in the Utilities folder, but did not seem to help; no doubt I may have not done properly.
Thank you to the genius who can help me w/ this. Tim

Yes.
Configure one Airport Express (AX) as a normal base station.
Hard reset the second and reconfigure using the assistant to extend the network of the first, this will automatically configure both AXs correctly.

Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an AP and a DHCP server at the same time?

Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an Access Point and a DHCP server at the same time?
I would like to use it as a DHCP server and AP at the same time in my LAN (no internet, just local machines through a few switches). I was lead to belive this could be the case from a few networking friends that haven't been friendly enough to help me out setting it up.

I need it to act as a dLink/Cisco/Linksys/etc basic wifi router, in the fact that you can access it via wifi, and it will spit out DHCP addresses (192.168.1.xxx) to everything wired downstream of it.
I want to simultaniously provide a Wifi connection and a LAN connection at the same time
Thanks,

Can you use microsoft outlook express 6 email on a mac

how do you use microsoft outlook express 6 email on a mac

You cannot use Outlook Express email client on Mac OS.
You can install Windows on Mac but it seems like overkill to get your email going.
Can you let me know what you want to achieve?
You should really ise Mail programwhich is native to Apple.

Can I iTunes to Airport Express while surfing internet from Base Station

I am new to Macs and Networking. I have DSL ethernet plugged into Airport Extreme Base Station and Express into my stero. I have set up a network pointing to each but when I choose the Express network for streaming music, I cannot connect to the internet which is on my Base station. Is there a network configuration that will do both. Working w/a new Powerbook G4. Mac OS 10.4. Thanks for any help.

OW, Welcome to the discussion area!
Follow the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode or KB 107454, AirPort Extreme and Express: Using WDS to create a network from multiple base stations.

Can you use another airport express to boost

I already own one airport express as my primary wi-fi, can I use a second one to boost the signal across the house?

Your friend has two AirPort Express devices, but the second that he bought is not configured to "extend a wireless network", despite what he might believe.
As I previously mentioned, the "extend" setting can only be used when the Express devices are 802.11"n" models. Your version of the Express is an older 802.11"b/g" model.
This Apple Support document will confirm that you must use 802.11"n" versions to "extend". Notice that the title of document reads Setting Up and Configuring an Extended Network 802.11n:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259
Your friend's Express has likely "joined" the wireless network....a setting which can be used for AirTunes or attaching a remote printer....but his second Express is not providing any additional wireless signal for his network.
You need to purchase two new AirPort Express devices if you want to "extend" your network.

Can you use aircards on more than one device?

I'm asking for a friend of mine who has a Verizon aircard for his laptop. His wife now has a netbook and they want to know if they can us his aircard in her netbook? I tried to tell them how to setup a wireless hotspot, but neither of these people are that knowledge of computers much less setting up wireless networks. So when he isn't using the card, she wants to be able to plug it in her netbook and go online.
Thanks!

I hope you are using the correct terminology in your question. To clarify, an aircard could be a USB modem which can only connect to one computer at a time. There are no restrictions on the number of computers you connect to the USB modem, but only one can connect at a time by design. A netbook is a special computer designed in partnership with Verizon to have a wireless modem built into it. There should be no need to use an additional USB modem with a netbook.

If you want to be able to connect multiple computers to a single USB modem then you will need a special router such as those provided by CradlePoint. CradlePoint routers have a special USB port on them which allows them to connect directly to the USB modem and rebroadcast that signal to multiple computers. Check the statistics on the router before you purchase to make sure your USB modem is supported.
Here is a link to display many of the possible CradlePoint routers:

Can you use 2 airport expresses at the same time?

I want to play my iTunes through my computer speakers and up to 2 airport expresses at the same time, to fill my house with music without having to blast it in any one room, but iTunes will only play on the computer's speakers or through the airport express, but not both.
Is there a hack to get it to play on multiple airports, like giving both airports the same identity or something?
I could acheive this with extra speakers and lots of wires running all over the house, but I'd like to avoid that.

From the Airport Express FAQ
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108038#9
Question: Can iTunes send a single AirTunes stream to multiple AirPort Express stations?
Answer: Yes. With iTunes 6.0.2 or later, you can send an AirTunes stream to multiple remote AirPort Express units, provided that each AirPort Express has the latest AirPort firmware 6.3. The maximum number of remote AirPort Express units is three to six in typical conditions. The number that works for you will depend on your environmental conditions (such as building composition and local radio interference), distance to the remote AirPort Express units, and available network capacity relative to your other usage.

Can you use a Airport Express N to extend a network with a Comcast Modem/router to get ethernet to a stereo receiver?

Trying to hook up a friends receiver using a AE to get it ethernet. I know how to do it with an Airport Extreme (my own system) but can I do it with his hardware?

You cannot use an extreme to a brand other than Apple for wireless bridge.
You can use an Express. You need to join a wireless network which is a rather tricky setup.

Can you use apps on more than one iphone?

My husband and I both have iphones. I sync my phone at work and he syncs his on our imac at home. We both have purchased apps that we would like to share. Can my apps be copied to the itunes at home and then be loaded on my husband's iphone? I think it is crazy that we have to pay so much for some of these business apps if we can't share them.

Thanks - I haven't any way of testing it but quickly scanning that article, I cannot see anywhere which says about content purchased by two different accounts being share-able. It allows content to be moved into a central library which itself becomes share-able between multiple devices (like an iTunes library on one machine being useable by another) but as there is no mention of the second machine I assumed that it had to be logged in with the same account.
I read it as sharing content between media purchased under the same account and if as was suggested earlier, Apps are DRM protected to a given account, I cannot see anywhere there which authorises Account A Apps to be used under Account B.
Maybe it works in practice, I don't know, in which case the article needs to be rewritten to make this clear, or the statement that an App is tied to an Account is false.
To take up wjostens point in the next post he/she says that both his and his wifes iPhone share the same Apps as they were bought with the same account. This I understand but thats NOT what the OP was asking.
The OP's have Apps bought with different accounts altogether and if they are tied to Accounts as Lawrence Finch suggests I cannot see how Person A can use Person B's purchased material when the DRM allegedly should prevent this ?
Surely if this were the case then anyone could use any App using Home Sharing by just importing Apps from a hard disc ?

How can you use multiple stream types with one socket?

Hi,
I'm working on a large program that currently uses Object Input/Output streams for all of the messaging in a client/server application. This works fine except when files need to be transferred. In many cases using a Object stream to send a file can be 30 times slower than using a Buffered input/output stream. I've found I can combined the two. Here are some code snippets to give you a basic idea of what's happening...
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream( serverSocket.getInputStream( ) );
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream( serverSocket.getInputStream( ) );
//this code runs on a thread on the server
while( true ){
switch( whichKindOfStreamUsedNext ){
case OBJECT_STREAM:
Object object = ois.readObject( );
doSomethingWithObject( object );
break;
case BUFFERED_STREAM:
readFromBuffer( bis );
break;
Obviously there is a lot missing here. Basically the variable whichKindOfStreamUsedNext is changed in the methods doSomethingWithObject( ) and readFromBuffer depending on what the current state of the server is and what is passed to these methods from the client.
Here is the problem. If readFromBuffer( ) does a very small task and the client sends an object through an object stream everything is okay. I've switched whichKindOfStreamUsedNext = OBJECT_STREAM before that point and by the time the client sends the object the server is waiting on Object object = ois.readObject( );. However if the method readFromBuffer( ) does a very time intensive task and it takes a while to return and meanwhile the client sends an object then the server never gets that object. Does anyone have an easy solution to this problem. (Changing the whole program to just using BufferedStreams is not a solution).
Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the response.
I guess I didn't realize I could do that.
I changed how I am doing the program anyways. Sending flags to switch streams was a little messy. but now I have a new problem. I've discovered that mixing object streams with buffered streams also leads to significant speed increases. I do that in this manner...
int ONE_MEG = 1024*1024;
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream( new BufferedInputStream( socket.getInputStream( ), ONE_MEG ) );
and I do the same thing for the ObjectOutputStream. It works very well when I just set up the client's output stream and the servers input stream in this manner. Upload times are increased from 60 seconds to 2-5 seconds.
Unfortunately when I try to do the same thing with the servers output stream and the clients input stream to speed up downloads I get deadlock! As soon as the socket connection is opened and I try to set up the streams in this manner I get deadlock. Does anyone have any idea why this occurs and what I can do to fix it?

Can you use a Ethernet hard drive on a airpot express

Can you use a ethernet hard disk on a airport express?
such as this one?

More than likely this is NOT possible since most Belkin routers are NOT compatible with Apple's WDS.
However if you are using a Belkin F5D7230-4 or F5D7231 you might be able to get it to work. You need to configure the Belkin and the AirPort Express (AX) to connect wirelessly using WDS. Only then is the AX's Ethernet port enabled.

So I can sync two iPods to my iTunes account and sync the same digital copy movies that come with some o' my DVDs to both ipods? Do movies make a difference really, DRM-Wise? Thanks in advance.

how can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

No you do not need separate Apple ID's in order to use 3 devices with one Apple ID. I use 4 devices to Message and FaceTime and all use the same Apple ID. You do need to add additional email addresses for the other devices.
Look at this very informative video for the instructions.
