Computer link to express locks up occasionally

I have not noticed a trend, except that whenever I sleep my iBook then wake it, the airport signal gets mysteriously weaker and I am no longer connected to the internet. The problem is not my computer as I used to use it flawlessly in many locations.
The possible causes of the problem:
1) Campus wireless network (although it doesn't reach the dorm rooms very well) (and I'm not signed up to use it yet, gotta do that)
2) microwave/fridge between me and the base (although right now I have full signal strength, and the stuff happens without the machine turning on)
3) Overloaded power cables (just occured to me, probably the cause now that I think of it)
4) defective hardware (very rare considering its apple)

Do you have the firmware on the Express up to date? I and others have found version 6.2 of the firmware to be unstable. I'm running 6.3 now and it's rock-solid.
The microwave and fridge between you and the base could be the source of the problem. The microwave can definitely interfere with the network if it's on, but the fridge may also be emitting enough interference to cause problems -- not to mention all the metal in the fridge and microwave, which does not pass radio waves very well.

Simultaneous Playback to Computer and Airport Express

As others have posted it appears possible with iTunes 6.0.2 to play to both a Computer and an Airport Express.
I have an Airport Express in my Kitchen, which has been updated with the Airport Setup Assistance.
If I shift-click on the speakers drop-down in iTunes to pick "Kitchen", I get the following:
"The current remote speaker "Kitchen" does not support playback as part of a group. Do you want to switch playback to the computer?"
Any thoughts and ideas are welcome. I've tested this on a Mac mini and a dual G4, both running 10.4.4 and iTunes 6.0.2. The Mac mini has an Airport Extreme card.

My original problem has been resolved. I ended up doing a hard reset of my Airport Express, then running the AirPort Express Firmware Updater. After re-establishing connection to my wireless network, I now get the Multiple Speakers option. Some links:

Which computer for logic express 8

Hi. I'm looking to buy an apple computer and logic express 8. I want a laptop that is powerful enough to run a decent software for writing and recording tunes that is intuitive and user friendly.
I heard that it is better to get a seperate hard drive to run the music software. Is this true?
I wondered if I could get away with just buying mac book, bu t, am thinking about a mac book pro..refurbished to save money.
THis laptop would also serve to play with photos, movies, etc.
I appreciate any feedback.
Also, I have ableton live, but, I wanted to get logic because Apple has great support and education now.
thanks!

Any computer that apple makes today CAN run Logic. The performance will depend on how much you want to do with it. I haven't pushed my system enough yet, but from what I've seen on the forums, the point where resources start becoming a problem for the macbooks/imacs/minis is around 20 tracks with heavy use of plug ins.
Of course, actual performace is debateable, but based purely on specs, I see three or four main differences between the new MacBooks and the MacBook Pros that you can get refurbished today:
1. The Pro has a bigger screen. Working on a MacBook myself, I can tell you that the smaller screen gets frustrating sometimes. I'm thinking of getting a separate monitor for when I'm working at home.
2. The Pro has a better graphics processor. This will improve performance some, but the difference would be more noticeable in more graphics intensive application like games rather than music production.
3. The Pro has more RAM out of the box. That said, RAM is cheap if you don't get it from Apple. It's also a pretty easy upgrade to do yourself. Instructions can be found in the Support section and are pretty good. I upgraded my mid-tier MacBook to 2GB for under $50. You can upgrade the new MacBooks to 4GB for under $100. The cheapest of the refurb Pros comes with 2GB RAM, but it's unclear whether you can upgrade to 4GB.
4. The Pro has 2 firewire ports, one of which is FW800.
Of these 4 main differences, the only one I see as a deal breaker is the screen size. When I was buying last summer, I, personally, couldn't justify the extra expense of the Pro.
Regarding a separate hard drive, this is a debateable topic and just like any performance issue depends on how hard you're pushing the system. I have two pieces of advice here:
1. Start by using the internal hard drive. If you run into resource problems an external drive may help the situation.
2. If you do go the external route, get a Firewire drive. While USB 2.0's signal speed is faster than Firewire (480 Mb/sec vs. 400Mb/sec), it's fairly well documented that Firewire is faster in most real life applications (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewire#ComparisontoUSB) and frees up the CPU for more plug ins and/or tracks.
Finally, while Apple is generally known for good support, many of the users on the Logic Pro forum would strongly disagree with that statement when it comes to Logic. Logic 8 was released with some fairly major bugs and there has only been one software update since its relase in September, whereas programs like iTunes seem to get weekly updates. Granted, most of the complaints come from professional studio engineers use Logic 6,8,10 hours a day who push it to its limits on a regular basis. Users like this are more likely to uncover problems than more casual users like me (and I assume you). Don't get me wrong, I'm personally very happy with Logic. I just don't want you to expect the same level of support and education Apple provides for iLife.
Hope this helps.

Re: Lookup Links in Express

I've been trying to set up a lookup link in Express and can not get the
lookup type to come up as an option on the Link Properties window. Any ideas
why not?
Thanks,
KirstinKirstin,
In your business model the relationship between the tables must be a
'many to one' relationship as opposed to a 'one to many'. Where the
lookup table is obviously the 'one' in the relationship.

I see in the manual (pg 107) that you can't create a Lookup link on
an outline window. If that's not it, check the info on the type of
associations required for a lookup link, on pg. 109.

I am having a problem with Adobe Presenter Video Express locking up my PC. It requires a complete reboot to kill the program. Anyone else?

I recently installed Presenter 10 and the Presenter Video Express locks up my PC. I can't even end with the task manager. I must force my PC to shut down. Anyone else having a problem with Video Express?

Hm, that was my silver bullet. Other than doing an uninsall and then installing Presenter again, you may need to reach out to Adobe and see if they can identify what could be causing this.

"MIMO Cable link did not lock within alloted time" error in USRP 2922

Hi,
I am running Prof Heath courseware experiments, specifically lab 2.1, on USRP 2922 and I have come through this error:
"niUSRP Initiate.vi<ERR>The MIMO cable link did not lock within the alloted time." with error code "-1074118624". I don't understand the error and don't know what to do noting that I'm not using anything related to MIMO and I don't have a MIMO cable in the first place.
Can someone help me with that? Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here I am attaching screenshots for the top_rx.vi (1.jpg and 2.jpg) showing the hardware parameters and the modulation parameters respectively and a screenshot for the receiver.vi (the subvi, 3.jpg) where the problem occurs.
And yes, I've been able to run other examples: the vi for the first experiment ran smoothly.

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
This will tell you how to restore
iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode
iPad: Unable to update or restore

HT4759 Can you have more than one computer linked to the same icloud account?

Can you have more than one computer linked to the same icloud account? If so how do you add a computer?

Yes, of course - that's the whole point, to provide syncing of data such as calendars, contacts and email between computers and iOS devices. Having got iCloud up and running on one computer, simply sign all other devices in at System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud with the same login. (Lion 10.7.2 and iOS5 are the minimum requirements.)

Logic express locks up

When I try to access the audio settings logic express locks up giving me the spinning beach ball until I kill it.

Hi Grizz! Yes, you're right, Logic Express is not the easiest app in the world. However, don't give up now. Altough it may seem hard to understand at times, things will get clearer and clearer and I'm sure you'll be amazed at all the music that can be made with it, once you get used to work with it.
In the meantime, don't be afraid to ask for our help. This forum is here for that exact reason and we're always happy to help someone else. Yes, sometimes we may look a little bit impatient but I promise we only want to do our best and we always try to be respectful of everyone here.
P.S. Logic manuals are not the best written in the world. You may to take a look at Martin Sitter's book about Logic.

Linking airport express with other airport express or belkin base

is it possible to link my airport express with another and thus have wireless coming from both?
if not, can it be done with anything other than an apple base, namely Belkin?
any help would be appreciated. thanks

You can link two Express units in a WDS network, by configuring one to extend the wireless network of the other.
Airport Express units can extend a Belkin wireless network if you are using a Belkin F5D7230-4 or F5D7231.
