Can you use an external antenna with the 4G LTE Router with Voice?

I live in a black hole of cell service - very rural, in a valley surrounded by trees, no DSL, no cable, no other options except satellite internet which I did for 15 years and will never do again. My current data setup is a Pantech UML290 USB modem connected to a Cellphone-Mate full band outdoor Omni 3G/4G antenna on the roof. I just ordered an amplifier to boost the 4G LTE connection. The modem is plugged into a Cradlepoint MBR900 router, which then provides my home internet (way more than 10 devices, and mostly wired).
Is there a way to add the antenna and amplifier setup to the broadband router with voice so I can be assured of the signal? If so, could I then use this router to feed the Cradlepoint and continue using multiple wired devices?
I was set to order this router last night, but the CSR through chat told me that you cannot attach antenna to the router with voice - only to the one with data. This really doesn't make any sense to me, but she was firm about it. If I can attach, can I use the cables I have or will I need a different adapter?
There is so little information about this particular router. My current setup is doing fairly well, but I would love the option to drop my landline and increase signal strength for both voice and data. With no antenna, the modem gets around -125 db, and can't connect at all. With the antenna mounted on the roof, and routed through the Cradlepoint, I consistently get -85 db. 4G LTE speeds are around 15-19 Mb/s down and very inconsistent 2.5-4.0 Mb/s up. However, the 4G drops and resets multiple times a day, so I usually sacrifice the speed to get a more stable 4.5-5 Mb/s down and 0.5 Mb/s up through forced 3G.
Voice calls are spotty if received at all, and frequently drop immediately if there is any connection. And of course, the data limit has been a nightmare. I could potentially save some money by porting my landline to Verizon, but not if there is no way to boost the signals. The Omni antenna will boost all, but not sure if there's any way to route the existing antenna setup to feed both the voice and data sides, or if it would be enough to allow me to do this. This router also says it's 4G LTE only, but the specs on the antenna they sell say it boosts 3G for failover, so not sure if it will grab anything else. Any help or advice GREATLY appreciated! Thanks for reading through the whole thing.

No, not directly. You would need to transfer your data from your iPad to your Mac and then back it up to an external drive.

Can you use any external display with a macbook?

hi all,
I was just wondering, can you use any external display with a macbook? (i.e. gateway, and dell displays?)

To original poster:
Yes.
Provided you have the appropriate ports and cables, that is. Some monitors do not have all vga, dvi-i, dvi-d, hdmi, etc. ports, and it can be misleading that all those technologies appear to be compatible via conversion cables (they aren't all meant to be compatible, so look it up on the internet before buying).

HT1766 Can you use an external hard drive to back up my movies in iTunes but still be able to access them or is there a device so I don't have to use a pc ??

Can you use an external hard drive to back up my movies in iTunes but still be able to access them or is there a device so I don't have to use a pc ??

You can store them on a separate hard drive, you don't need to keep them on your laptop's hard drive. On your computer's iTunes on the Advanced tab in Edit > Preferences there is a 'copy files to iTunes media file when adding to library' tickbox - if you untick that, you should be able to copy the films to a separate drive and add them back to your iTunes library (File > Add To Library) and it should then point to them on that separate drive and not copy them to your hard drive. When you are happy that it is what is happening and that they are safely on your external drive you can delete the films from your laptop's hard drive.
If you plug the external drive into a different USB port next time (assuming that your laptop has more than one) then it might get a different drive letter, so you might need to always use it with the same port.

Can you use a external hard drive to keep all your iTunes info on it

Can you use a external hard drive to keep all your iTunes info on it

Yes.
The easiest way is to copy the whole iTunes folder out to the external drive, then press and hold down shift as you click the icon to start iTunes. Keep holding shift until asked to "Create or choose a library". Choose the library on the external drive.

Can you use CORBA Naming Service with javax.naming.event.EventContext?

Can you use CORBA Naming Service with javax.naming.event.EventContext?
It seems like it doesn't work. When I try to do something like
EventContext eCtx_ = (EventContext)namingCtx_.lookup("");
I'm using JacORB's naming service.
I just want to clarify that I cannot or can use javax.naming.event.EventContext with CORBA Naming Service.

Can anyone tell me if it is doable or not doable.
I looked at the COSNaming SPI, and it seems like it doesn't implement javax.naming.event.EventContext.
Am I correct or not?

No, they can only be used in the iTunes store, app store, ibookstore and the Mac App Store - they can't be used in Apple stores (inlcuding the online Apple stores).

Can you use multiple email addresses on the Microsoft OWA App?

You can do it but there is a delay from the bluetooth speaker. You'll need an iphone or ipad using the Apple app "Control", airplay setup, bluetooth speaker, and an Apple laptop or desktop.
I used my laptop to connect to my bluetooth speaker so that sound streams to my bluetooth device. Then, on my iphone I opened Control and connect the music to my airplay and my laptop at the same time. The music goes to your airplay speaker, and then to my laptop which then blue tooths it to my speaker. But, as I said the bluetooth takes an extra step to stream it and so the music is not in sync. Its like a second and a half delay....

Can you attach an external HD to the new iMac with a fusion drive?

I'm trying to decide how to configure the new iMac I am going to buy. Can you attach an external HD to an iMac with a fusion drive? I'm assuming it would be fine, but since the fusion drive is new, I don't want a nasty surprise. Some of the new Mac Minis now have fusion drives, so has anyone added an external drive to it?

This was a concern expressed in this thread: Worrying reply to Apples FAQ on new Fusion Drive
However, Apple has since amended the FAQ, clarifying their earlier Fusion confusion.
Therefore I believe the answer is yes, you can add an external USB HD. If Apple would only state that explicitly in this document, it would eliminate all doubt.

Buying a new iMac - can you use an external SSD drive as boot drive?

Here is the question: Can you attach an external SSD and use that as your boot drive accompanying an iMac? This way all the Apple warranties stay valid but I am not saddled with the expense of the Apple installed SSD price?
Now for some background ...
I am looking to buy a new iMac replacing my loved but woefully underpowered Mac Mini. In a perfect world I would like the following set-up based on how today's iMacs can be configured:
Processor: 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
Memory: 16GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x4GB
Hard Drive: 1TB Serial ATA Drive + 256GB Solid State Drive
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5
Optical Drive: 8x double-layer SuperDrive
The problem is I'd rather not spend $3200+. I would imagine most people plug something similar in and then begin to ID must vs. nice to haves. So, here are my must haves:
Memory: Minimum 16GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x4GB (I was thinking of starting with minimum and then purchase the right RAM and installing myself)
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 1GB
Hard Drive: 256GB Solid State Drive
I like to work the graphics side and have a media library of almost 1TB (uploading, downloading, converting, editing, etc.). With my existing setup I have 3+TB of external storage but again, am suffering massively in the horsepower department as it takes hours for me to do what I believe a new iMac can help me accomplish in a fraction of that time. This is not my profession so while I looked at the towers I still need this computer to serve as a family computer as well. Appreciate your thoughts and feedback.
Cheers,
-Jim

Ok this is great as we are progressing through.
So yes it can be done but there's the caveat of the "pipes" once you go external. The only option for an external SSD Drive with thunderbolt that I know of is LaCie's 240 GB version ... Priced at $800.
I think what I will need to do is suck it up. The new MacBooks have the core technology I'd like but we really want the larger screen.
Last question - should I wait/when might we expect an updated line of iMacs? In a few months or not for a while? That answer may provide some direction if it is anticipated to be sooner vs later.
Thank you!

New iMac user, can you use a fan to cool the back?

Hi everone,
I'm a new iMac user, a new mac user full stop. I recently was given one for college because I'm dyslexic so I recived one to help with college work. I'm a P.C girl mostly so i'm very new to this system, but we do use these at college thou I avoided them like the plauge because I just didn't know how to use them.
ANYWAYS....I noticed that the back get's very hot, my desk is by the window of my room because it gets a little hot in my room at time's and I know my P.C would heat but so the window it was.
i was wondering if used an external fan behind the mac might help with the temp, nothing big just a small fan for the back of the computer like the one's you use in an office but allot smaller? is this a good idea or not?
thank you for takeing the time to read my post, I did read the other about hot mac's but it didn't have the answer I was looking for.

Just be sure it's fixed low enough to be aimed upwards. That way it won't prevent the hot air escaping from the upper exhaust by blowing it back in. It will be blowing dust around too, so keep the area as dust free as possible. Whether I need to run this fan depends on the intenal temps and how hot the back feels. But can aid considerably in cooling. Get iStat Pro.

The iPad/iPhone need to be on the same section of the network as the Apple TV. connect the Apple TV to the wireless router instead of the AT&T router. If you can, connect the other devices as well...

You shouldn't have a problem, I would think it would work, as long as it's a GSM (AT&T) model. It should just be a matter of swaping out the SIM cards.
