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 the same Apple ID on more than one MacBook Pro for updates and applications?

We just got a few new MacBook Pro's and when I went to install updates it said I need to make an Apple ID. Can you use the same Apple ID and email address for that Apple ID on multiple machines, or do I need them both to be unique per machine? I'm not sure how that works when you have multiple machines.

An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. So you can use the same Apple ID for up to 10 Macs associated with it.
To create an Apple ID you need to enter your full name and your primary email address as your Apple ID. This will be used as the contact email address for your account.

HT204053 Can you use the same Apple ID for two devices ?

I have an MacPro and I am buying an iPad. Can you use the same Apple ID for two devices or should I create an new AppleID for the ipad?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Apple ID purpose is to have the same data in all your devices and share your purchases among all your devices, so you can use your Apple ID in both devices

HT4759 can you use the same apple id for two phones on the cloud?

can you use the same apple id for two phones on the same verizon account and if so can you keep there contacts etc. separate?

If you want to keep your contacts and other data you sync with iCloud separate, you'll have to create separate iCloud accounts, which will require different IDs. If you share the same iCloud account/ID on multiple devices, the synced data will be merged and will appear on all devices syncing with the shared account.
You can still share the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't have to be the same as the one used for iCloud.

How can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

I have two iPads.. an iPad and an ipad 2. I registared my new ipad 2 and now my old ipad is will not let me log on and is telling me that my e-mail address is already in use. how can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases. If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.

Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different? When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different? When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Can you use the same Apple Id on different devices.

Can I use the same Apple ID on two different iPads? My kids just got school issued iPads and they need to have an Apple ID. They have iPhones with there own Apple ID's. We use one Apple ID for purchases for our family. Can they use there current Apple ID with the iPads without the purchase Apple Id being associated. Will they be able to load music and apps that were purchased with the family Apple Id?

I am just a little confused about the way that you asked thes questions. But here is my take.
1. Yes - You can use two Apple ID's on an iPad.
2. You can use the same Apple ID on up to 10 total devices - but there is a five computer limit in that total of 10 devices.
3. If you use one ID for some things and then use the family ID to download past purchases for free - you will lock themselves out of the other ID for 90 days.
4. When you download a past purchase on an iDevice using a different ID - you associate that device with that ID and you are locked into that ID only for 90 days.

Migrating to Sharepoint 2013 from 2010 - Can you use the same URL for the Web Application without affecting the 2010 environment?

Hi,
I am currently trying to migrate our SharePoint 2010 environment to SharePoint 2013. The first thing I'm doing is creating a 2013 development environment to verify that this migration goes smoothly. I'm also doing this so that we will have a testing environment
after the upgrade to 2013 is complete.
So here is my question: I have a 3 tier farm including; 1 app server, 1 wfe, and 1 sql server. I have made a copy of our SharePoint 2010 database and installed that on our sql server 2012 sever (This new environment is on 3 completely separate servers from
our 2010 environment). I have also installed the prereqs and configured SharePoint 2013 on the App server and wfe servers, as well as configuring the necessary service applications (I have created a completely new 2013 database where I will migrate my 2010
database content when I'm ready).
I am now at the point where I need to create a new web application on the 2013 app server, where I will be migrating the copied 2010 database. (Also note that we have a 2010 development site called https://[email protected])
When I go to create a new web application in our 2013 dev environment, can I use the same url (https://[email protected]) to create this web app, or will this screw up our current 2010 dev environment?
I'm new to SharePoint migrations, so I apologize if this is a stupid question.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can share on this!
Boe Barlage

So, what you are recommending is that before I create a web application in my new 2013 environment, I need go into my hosts file on my 2013 app server and alter it to point to my 2013 wfe.
Then after I do that, then I can create my new web application on my 2013 app server with the same url as my 2010 testing environment
(https://[email protected]).
Then after that I should be able to access my new sharepoint 2013 environment at the same URL (https://[email protected])?
I must be missing something.
In your first reply, you told me to alter the host file on my 2010 app server and point it to my 2010
wfe (I guess I thought it probably already is). You also told me to alter the host file on my 2013 app server and point it to my 2013 wfe.
so I am confused on after I do this, what url would I access my 2010 test environment, and what url would
I access my 2013 test environment?
I am fine with having my test environment as a different URL until I am totally ready to roll everything over and kill the 2010 site. But I want to make sure that when I migrate my database, none of the site links are broken.
I also want to make sure that if I proceed this way, I want to be sure that I will be able to modify the URL to what my 2010 environment is (without a lot of headaches) when I am ready to kill the 2010 site.
Thanks again for your help, it's much appreciated!

Can you use the apple time capsule as just a wireless hard drive without using it as a router

Can i use the apple time capsule as just a wireless hard drive without using a router

You can, but this type of configuration is not recommended or supported by Apple.
Two cautions if you want to try this:
1) The Time Capsule has to be configured to "Join" your existing wireless network in this type of setup...and to do that, you must know the exact type of wireless security that your network is using.
2) Backups are going to take twice as long. The wireless signal must travel from your computer to the wireless router and then from the wireless router back to the Time Capsule. Two "hops"......even if the computer is located close to the Time Capsule.
If you want to try this, we can tell you how....but with no guarantees on your results....since this is not officially supported.

HT1222 Can you use the same authorization code for QT Pro on two computers? Or do you have to buy a code for each computer

An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. So you can use the same Apple ID for up to 10 Macs associated with it.

Can I use the same Time Capsule to backup two MacBook Pros?

Basically, I want to know if I can backup my late 2009 MacBook Pro and my new one with retina display using the same time capsule? Maybe should I create different partitions on the time capsule?

Yes, provided your backup drive is big enough. For a Time Machine backup your backup drive should be at least twice the capacity of the drive it backs up. In the case of two drives sum the capacities of the two drives. Be sure you backup drive is at least twice that capacity.
You cannot partition a Time Capsule drive.

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 I use an airport express to add airplay to (and extend the range of) a network with a netgear N750 Router?

I have a Netgear N750 router. Can I buy an airport express and configure it to extend the range of my current network and allow me to use AirPlay from anywhere on that SSID?

You can configure the AirPort Express to "join" the wireless network that is being provided by the Netgear router for use with AirTunes.
But, the Express will not be able to "extend" the range of your wireless network.
The "extend a wireless network" feature only works if you have an Apple router as your main device. This feature is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.

Can you use the same external hard drive for Time Machine backups and as an additional storage drive?

I have an external HD that I've been using exclusively for Time Machine backups. I need to clear space on my hard drive, so I was thinking to move music & photos to an external drive. Wondering if I can use the same one I have (which I'll aslo keep using for Time Machine) or if I need to get another drive.

Hi Jossydtaylor,
Time Machine can use either an entire external disk or a partition of that disk:
OS X Mountain Lion: Disks you can use with Time Machine
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11171
You can use Time Machine with a Time Capsule, and with USB, FireWire, and Thunderbolt disks. The backup disk can be directly connected to your computer or be on a network. If the backup disk has been divided into partitions, you can use one of the partitions.
If the disk is partitioned using the Master Boot Record (MBR) partition type, some partitions may not be available for use with Time Machine. The GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition type is recommended.
For more info on partitioning, see this article:
Disk Utility 12.x: Partition a disk

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.
