Connect another device to infrared port
Is there any way to connect another device other than the Apple Remote to the infrared (IR) port?
Sorry, wrong forum...
As mentioned, far to different ofvoltages & signals for it to work... thoigh I've seen suh impossible devices for sale out of China.
I think what you want is a good USB hub...

I can not use the Ethernet Port to connect another device. My Airport Express allowed me to do this.
I want to use the Ethernet Port for my Apply TV for another device (Direct TV box), but it doesn't work. I have Airport Express with an Ethernet port and I was able to plug my Direct TV box to download.
It's not designed to extend a network, and plugging in ethernet disables wi-fi in any case.

Connecting multiple devices to Lan ports on airport
Hi, I have an Airport Base Station where I need multiple devices connected to through LAN cables. In short it is a) Apple TV and b) External TV providers box.
When I plug in the Apple TV to the first LAN port it works great, and I then connect the external TV providers box to the second lan port, and now it won't connect to the internet.
If I turn these around, then the apple TV won't connect, but the box will connect.
The station is set-up in bridge mode, and when I switch it to DHCP/NAT, then I get an error "doubble NAT".
What do I need to do to get both devices working at the same time when connected through the LAN ports?If this is the device that you have........http://www.technicolor.com/en/solutions-services/connected-home/modems-gateways/ xdsl-modems-gateways/tg799vac-xtream ........then it is a gateway type of device that combines a modem and router in one package.
The Time Capsule must connect to a device like this using the "Off (Bridge Mode)" setting to avoid errors on the network. Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the Technicolor gateway connects to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
If the Off (Bridge Mode) setting does not work, I would suggest that you reset the Time Capsule back to factory default settings and then set it up again.
Are you still using the OS X (10.4.9) operating system that you indicate in your profile? If yes, you would need a much more up to date operating system to work with the Time Capsule.
If resetting the Time Capsule and setting it up again does not work, then I would recommend that you contact Apple Support for more assistance. Click on the flag of your country on this link:

Java ME SDK 3.0-"Cannot connect to device manager" on port 1299 error HELP!
Hello,
I am running Vista 32 bit. I just downloaded the Java ME sdk 3.0. It installed "successfully". I just tried to launch it several times and it gets stuck in the error below. In summary, something about "Connection refused to host: localhost; DeviceManagerConnection error". Why am I getting that error? This is the first time I installed this.
I run netstat -an, and nothing shows that something is taking up my 1299 port. Also "ping localhost" returns ::1:. And my hosts file looks good. Windows Defender and Firewall are both off. Does anyone have had this issue in the past? If so, please kindly let me know how you resolved it. Thank you.

java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect]Hi there,
I believe I am having the problem reported by the first person in this thread.
In fact, I installed NetBeans and ran a Java ME sample and it gave me the following error
Jad URL for OTA execution: http://localhost:8082/servlet/org.netbeans.modules.mobility.project.jam.JAMServlet/C%3A/Users/Afamefuna/Documents/NetBeansProjects/CurrencyConverter3/dist//CurrencyConverter3.jad

BUILD FAILED (total time: 26 seconds)
Of course, I went to the file but the stipulated line didn't make much sense. Eventually, I seperately installed Java(TM) ME Platform SDK 3.0, but when I doubled clicked on its icon to open it, the initial splashscreen showed up, but when the progress bar got to "+{color:#ff0000}starting modules....{color}+", it gave me a java.net.ConnectionException error.
When I went to the generated log file, amongst other things, it also contained the following snippet
+Connecting to service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/*{color:#ff0000}rmi://localhost:1299/device-manager{color}< </strong>[ 23398] ERROR - un.jme.toolkit.bootstrap.Batch - Problem calling start() on DeviceManagerConnection java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException+

From the above I can only imagine there is a problem with the device manager set-up for SDK, but how can it be solved?
The device manager icon shows up in the windows toolbar, however, the "device manager" menu choice is greyed out.
This same problem was replicated in my friend's PC, so I am certain this has to do with low-grade packaging/programming from the vendor end.
Please how do I solve this problem? I am hoping that solving one problem, resolves the other.
thanks

Connecting FW400 device to FW800 port
I suspect this has been asked and answered before, but after searching here for quite a while, I couldn't find it.
Question is, if a camcorder is plugged into the MBP 17" FW400 port, is there any problem having a FW400 external HD connected at the same time to the FW800 port? I realize I would need the appropriate cable for the 400->800 connection, but other than that, I'm assuming this should work just fine. Correct?
I have a MBP on order and it's scheduled to arrive in a couple of days. Just want to make sure I won't fry either the MBP or the HD.
MBP 17" on order; aging G4 but still smokin' Mac OS X (10.4.7) FCS, CS2 pkgRichard, thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try after I get my apps loaded in the MBP, but I don't think that'll work. Or, at least it doesn't work with my G4 tower Mac.
I use Final Cut pro, and what works best is capturing the video files to a second internal drive, which is an option not available with a notebook. Lacking that, then next best is capturing to an external drive. Even tho the firewire ports are on the same bus, its also best to have the camcorder and external HD connected to separate FW ports on the Mac.
Connecting the camera to a FW port on the external HD that the video files are being saved to, at least with a G4 tower Mac, is asking for trouble.
But, with all that extra horsepower inside a MBP, it might not be a problem. Whatever the case, I think I'll have a FW800->400 cable standing by, just in case.

My issue is that I'm trying to connect a PC to my wireless network run off of a Time capsule/airport router. My macbook pro connects fine but the network password is hidden and set to autoconnect. I thought I wrote the password down but when I try to connect the PC laptop and type in the timecapsule network PW is doesn't work. Trying to verify if the passwird I wrote down is correct but there doesn't seem to be a way to recover this.
Does anyone out there in the community know how to do this? (or do I just have to do a reset on the time capsuleReset the TC.

But then there was still no Internet access even after I have disconnected all other home computers (a total of four including the Macbook and one iMac desktop. For simplicity, I shall categorically called them Mac hereafter unless otherwise specified. The Macs are operating on WiFi.).
The window message recommends changing the IP of either the Macs or the other device. The latter of course does not apply because I don't think the other device is one of my computers.
My questions:
(1) Why did that happen suddenly since the Mac and other computers on the WiFi was working fine in the morning (as well as days before) and then all of a sudden an unknown device is using my computer's IP? As far as I (we) can remember, we did not do any thing unusual this morning nor had we downloaded any special programs.
(2) How do I change the IP since it requires Internet acess to do it and since I can't access the Internet on the Mac?
(3) I am almost sure the problem is not caused by the Internet service because when I connected the Ethernet cable from the DSL modem to an old Windows PC, I got Internet via Internet Explorer. [I am actually sending out this message via IE on my PC.] However, when I cennected the Ethernet line from the modem to a WiFi router (Airport Extreme) and then connect the router and the old PC, I did not get Internet on either the Mac nor the PC. Similarly, there was no Internet on both Mac and PC If I connect Ethernet only between the modem and the router but not between PC and router. So, the question is whether a third unknown party has gotten hold of my Mac IP address and is trying to break into the Mac? Can it steal my personal info?
(4) How can I repair the Mac now and prevent future recurrences? Is changing the IP address the way to do it? (But like I said before I had tried but could not change the IP because I did not have Internet access on the Mac. Is there an alternative method?)
(5) I wonder if a computer's IP address remains constant if you don't change it. The reason I am asking this question is because the aforesaid window message on the Macbook--not sure about the iMac--shows a different IP address--a few numerical digits were changed--almost every time it pops up following every failure trial of mine to access the Internet. Was the Macbook trying to change the IP for me or was there some thing not right?Re: Another device on the network is using your computer's IP address.
This message/problem was occuring intermittently for me in a household with two MacBooks accessing one Airport extreme. Rebooting the modem and router would only temporarily fix the issue for me, so I spoke with a friend who works for Apple and it seems that the Airport Extreme settings were at the root of our particular issue.
The router(Airport Extreme) recieves only one IP address from the modem and in order to allow it to share the IP address with two computers at once, the solution in my case was through:
Applications>Utilities>Airport Utility>Manual Setup>Internet
under Internet Connection- Select "share a public IP address"
under NAT, check the box for "enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol"
(this will allow the sharing of one public IP address with multiple devices)
if this is a new setting, then click "Update" and the Airport Extreme should reboot itself with new settings applied.
When all else is working properly, this is a satisfactory solution in my case. -
Is it possible when my airport express is wirelessly connected to my existing network - to connect a device to the network through it's ethernet port or is it wireless only at that point?
I'm trying to connect my A/V Receiver in another room to my network without having to run a CAT5 cable all the way to the router. I'd rather be able to connect it to my airport express if it will work that way.Is it possible when my airport express is wirelessly connected to my existing network - to connect a device to the network through it's ethernet port or is it wireless only at that point?
Yes.....IF
You have an AirPort Express 802.11"n" version configured to "join a wireless network" and you have enabled the option to "Enable Ethernet Clients"
Or
You have an AirPort Express 802.11"n" configured to "extend a wireless network" from another Apple "n" router, in which case the Ethernet port is enabled by default -
I have installed my Airport Extreme and have conencted it directly to a modem. WIFI works fine. However I do not see my LAN network (printer. NAS,..).
Analysis:
Scen#1: When I connect the LAN port of the Airport Extreme to a switch (as input) and connect the other LAN devices also to the switch, those LAN devices do not have access to the internet. Also connecting the iPAD with WIFI to the Airport Extreme I cannot find my LAN printer and other devices.
Scen#2: When I connect the LAN port of the Airport Extreme to a router X (as input) and connect the router X to the same switch, and the LAN devices to the switch, those LAN devices do have access to the internet. Also connecting the iPAD with WIFI to the router X I can find my LAN printer and other devices in the LAN network.
Question what has impacted the behaviour of the Airport Extreme, not to detect the devices in the LAN network. Why is the use of a switch directly behind the Airport Extreme not working (no internet access for the other devices and Airport Extreme is not the basis station for the LAN network)?Your scenario #1 is a correct configuration and should work. It seems as though your Extreme is not acting as a router as I believe you intend.
Most likely, you need to reset your modem. Power it down and let it rest for a few moments. Some need longer than others. Then, I recommend you "hard reset" your Extreme (see below) and configure it again, after the modem has been reset. From then on do not change what is connected to your modem without powering it down first.
Once configured, confirm your Extreme's wireless network works as expected and that your iPad and every other wireless device can load web pages. Then, connect the printer directly to one of the Extreme's LAN ports and confirm that it works as well. After that it should work equally well with a switch between it and the Extreme, as should every other wired device connected to the switch. This assumes your switch is an unmanaged device requiring no specific configuration.
Scenario #2: Having a router connected downstream of another is not a normal configuration, so don't pursue that as a solution. It will only distract you from determining the problem. If you want to repurpose Router X as another device do so only after everything else is working to your satisfaction.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility. -
we have a router at home that is supposed to support 10 devices but when i try to connect my mac book pro it says another device is using my computer's ip address
Are the IP addresses statically assigned (wrong ), or does the router give them out using DHCP (right )?

How to connect many devices with only one FW800 port in iMac?
Hi,
I am upgrading to a new Intel iMac from a 2004 vintage Dual2.0GHz PowerMac. I currently have 8x d2 Quadra drives chained by FW800, and 2x Iomega drives connected vis FW400 hub which also connects HD cams.
My questions is that with only one FW800 port in iMac, I think my devices connectivity is the following?
(1) Get a FW 800 hub (I can only find 2 port ones at the Apple store and BestBuy)
(2) Connect the d2 Quadras to one port of the FW800 hub
(3) Get a FW 800 to FW 400 cable
(4) Connect my 6 port FW400 hub to the 2nd port of the FW800 hub
Thanks for reviewing this solution, and I would also appreciate other suggestions or hear about your experiences if you have a similar set-up.
WillIn addition to your listed considerations, you should consider the following.
Many storage needs do not required FireWire 800 speed. For example, USB 2.0 works fine for your Time Machine backup drive. If you are just storing user data such as your iPhoto or iTunes media files, USB 2.0 is more than fast enough. So, as much as possible, if any of those external drives have USB 2.0 connections and the data storage does not need FireWire 800 speed, offload as much as possible to USB 2.0. I used to be a +FireWire snob+, but since getting an Intel iMac, I find that USB 2.0 works quite well for most data storage purposes.
There are new hard drives that are power efficient and as large as 2TB. Consolidate your data storage needs onto a smaller number of very large drives, partitioned as needed. This will make your setup more reliable (smaller number drives), and save reduce power consumption. If any of your current externals are SATA, you can probably replace the existing drive with an extra large one.
So, I think you setup should be, extra large FireWire 800 drive connected to the FireWire 800 port directly. Using a 9-pin to 6-pin cable, connect the FireWire 400 hub. Connect any non-storage FireWire 400 devices there. Do some data transfer testing to make sure having the 400 hub there on the chain does not cause the 800 connection to slow down.
Connect other drives as needed using USB 2.0, existing or new. Retire the smaller of your external drives. -
I am conneting my Ipad to mutiple Pcs, (windows and Mac) and it is not being recognized in the device list on itunes or the computers. the ipad is fully charged, I have reset it numerous times and it gives me the apple icon and then the "connect to itunes" message.... but dose nothing after that. I had it all set up and gave it to my daughter who tried to sync it with her macbook when it did this. We are using direct connections to the computers usb ports, the cables are new, ituens is newly updated on all pc's...
any ideas what the problem is??Did you already have a look at this article?

HHola I update my Apple TV and I am frozen screen with the photo of Apple TV and iTunes symbol and a cable connected from one to another device, it happens and how to fix it Apple TV
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)
