Connect to two AE's simultaneously ?

Is there a way to broadcast itunes to one AE whilst using another to connect to the internet. Bit frustrated that I only seem to have a choice of either or. Due to the layout of my house and the fact that I want to have a wireless network I don't want a long cable stretched around the rooms. Is this something Leopard will be able to do?

You didn't have to use WDS, the remote Airport Express (the one connected to the speakers) could have been configured in client mode.
What is client mode?

  • Connecting 2 two devices at simultaneously?

    Is it possible to connect the mac mini, simultaneously to an HD lcd TV and an Svideo projector?.
    Currently, I am using teh adapter to connect to the projector via Svideo and the TV via composite video, but I really want to take advantage of the HDMI port on the TV.
    any ideas?

    This question comes up in various guises quite often, and basically the answer is that at least without further 'intelligent' switching hardware or active video splitters, the only way you can hope to split the mini's output to two devices is if both those devices are set at the same resolution and do not create a signaling conflict when they communicate their identity to the system.
    As such, it's very unlikely that a simple splitter would work, and the potential devices that might help are fairly expensive.
    There has been talk recently of USB-based video output devices also, and such a thing would perhaps provide you with a viable alternative since that would give you two independent video outputs, but I don't think such a device has actually appeared on the market for MacOS users, complete with proven drivers, despite a number of companies promising such products in the near future.
    You are certainly right I think to be interested in connecting to your TV using HDMI if that's available rather than composite. In my experience composite gives a very fuzzy picture in terms of MacOS output, though it's not so bad for DVD playback and FrontRow. HDMI, where the TV correctly supports it, is capable of much better quality at hi def.

  • Connect to two wireless networks simultaneously

    Here's the scenario:
    I would like to have my airport express connect to my stereo and I'd like to have my mac connect to that via air tunes while at the same time connecting to a time capsule or other wireless router for internet use and have them both operating simultaneously. So that means playing music and using the internet and having both networks active.
    Wouldn't that be cool?
    I'd also like to have both my powerbook and my macbook doing that at the same time but they won't of course be sending to the airtunes setup at the same time.
    Does anyone know if this is possible?
    thx

    I would like to have my airport express connect to my stereo and I'd like to have my mac connect to that via air tunes while at the same time connecting to a time capsule or other wireless router for internet use and have them both operating simultaneously.
    You can. You just need to reconfigure the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to "join an existing wireless network" as a wireless client.
    Here's how ...
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    AirPort > Base Station
    o Base Station Name: <rename or leave default>
    o Base Station Password: <enter desired password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter desired password>
    o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
    o Set time automatically: (unchecked)
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing Time Capsule's wireless network>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    Music
    o Enable AirTunes (checked)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    o Verify Password: (optional)
    o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Connect to two routers at same time?

    I connect to internet throught router #1
    Set up time capsule as stand alone (i.e. did not join network on router #1).  Let's call time capsule router #2
    When I look at my wifi, I have to join router #1 and get internet access, and no access to files on time capsule OR join router #2 with access to files, but no internet access.
    Any way to join both networks (routers) at the same time?
    I know, I could set up time capsule to join the netwrk on router #1, but as stand alone, file transfer is faster.
    Thanks.

    It is not possible for the AirPort networking feature of your Mac to be connected to two wifi networks simultaneously.
    If you're going to use the Time Capsule for backup only, you're probably better off buying a FireWire hard drive since that will be much faster than any wifi-based backup device.
    Alternatively, connect your Time Capsule to "router #1" with an ethernet cable and then you can use it both for your wifi connection and backups.
    If you don't need to use "router #1" then just use the Time Capsule - it's a very good router and wifi hub.

  • Connecting to two networks at the same time

    Hi Kadin,
    I am looking for the same answer for a long time. I have two situations that requires to connect to two different metworks and that is when I travel with my portable Linksys router WRT54GC .
    1. I stay at a hotel with a wireless Internet network connection and I try to use the network to access the Internet and then (2) I also need to access my external Maxtor harddrive to which I am connected through my portable router WRT54GC .
    2. I have an almost identical situation but instead of the hotel network now I have a brand new T-Mobil cell phone made by ITC, which is called Wings and it uses a new way to connect my laptop to the Internet by using a Windows Mobile 6 Internet-share connection, which basically connects my laptop to the T-Mobile network and assigns it a IP address.
    The problem that I have is that in both cases I can connect to each one of the networks separately but not simultaneously.
    Any advise as to how this can be done. I also tried the Wireless WET54G as a bridge with similar negative results.
    Thanks,
    Pole

    Ok not real clear on your setup, but here is the "networking answer" why you can not connect to two networks.
    A device must have an IP address on the same subnet of the device you want to establish a connection or an IP route must be known to the network routers, since your internal address are most likely in the reserved private range, no internet router is not going to know how to deliver the packets to the correct hosts.
    the simple answer is assign a secondary IP address to the network adapter on your laptop.
    In the windows IP address properties for secondary address you can not set a default gateway. Windows only has 1 default gateway.
    good luck

  • HT4279 I have a Macbook Pro (late 2012) and I would like to connect it to 2 screens simultaneously (1 screen is a TV and can only take HDMI, the other is a larger computer screen and has both VGA and HDMI connections). How can I do this?

    I have a Macbook Pro (late 2012) and I would like to connect it to 2 screens simultaneously (1 screen is a TV and can only take HDMI, the other is a larger computer screen and has both VGA and HDMI connections). How can I do this?

    The article you cited refers to The Mac Pro, a 50lb silver tower -- not a notebook computer.
    Everymac.com says:
    2nd Display Support:
    Dual/Mirroring*
    2nd Max. Resolution:
    2560x1600 (x2*)
    Details:
    *This model supports a simultaneous maximum resolution up to 2560x1600 on two external displays via Thunderbolt. Alternately, it can support a single display up to 2560x1600 via Thunderbolt and a single display up to 1920x1200 via HDMI. Although it can theoretically power all three external displays, as confirmed by a helpful reader, it runs too hot with three displays connected.
    Also see: How many external displays can the Retina Display MacBook Pro models support? What is the maximum supported resolution of each? Are adapters required?
    When using other than ThunderBolt displays, the ThunderBolt port is directly compatible with Mini DisplayPort, and can be forced into compatibility (with Single-Link DVI or HDMI up to 1920 wide) with a simple adapter.
    To adapt to wider displays, an ACTIVE Dual-Link adapter is needed, about US$100.

  • Two Dynadocks on Mac - two VGA displays simultaneously?

    I own two Dynadocks: PA3542EY1PRP and PA3541EY1PRP.
    They are connected to iMac 21 "Snow Leopard".
    All USB ports work but I can not run two VGA displays simultaneously.
    If one works, the other does not work.
    Drivers Display Links are updated.
    Surely there is a conflict.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks a lot.

    Thanks for your answer. I also wrote to Display Link forum. Here is their reply (It's not the answer I was hoping for...):
    +Hi+
    +I think these were the first dynadocks Toshiba released. When manufacturing them, they managed to program them all with the same serial number - all zeros. This means multiple devices cannot be distinguished on the USB bus, so our software can only communicate with one dock at a time.+
    +Unfortunately this is a limitation and means only one of this first generation dynadock can be used at a time. Toshiba fixed this in their later dynadocks that are sold now.+
    +And no - there is no way for a user to reprogram the serial number. It has to be done in the factory.+

  • How many devices can I connect over USB to Configurator simultaneously

    Hi,
    I am looking for confirmation (preferably from Apple!) as to how many iOS devices can be connected via USB to Configurator simultaneously?
    There is one document from Apple which states 30 devices is the limit but we use carts with many more than this which Configurator appears to handle fine. You can also buy carts which accept more than 30 devices from the Apple Education Store.
    What I really need is an official document stating the limit or some feedback from you guys on your experiences with Configurator and high numbers of devices!
    Any help would, of course, be appreciated
    Thanks.

    Depends on your USB hardware....I have had two Bretford 30 unit carts running and while slow will work...Actually in our last deployment I went back to one MacBook Air AC station per 30 cart (4-5 carts per building) as the timing worked out better with temp workers and workflow....

    Hi Gilly,

  • I just bought a new iMac and now I am trying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don't have a Mini DisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don't have. Is there any way to connect this two mac's anyway??

    I just bought a new iMac and now I amtrying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don’t have a MiniDisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don’t have. Isthere any way to connect this two mac’s anyway??

    Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system.  10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
    And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines.  Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist.  There are no Firewire to USB cables.

  • HT2729 I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

    I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

    you can do this by keeping the external hard drive connected and doing the following
    -hold shift key down on computer while opening iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose a library
    -select choose library, iTunes should bring up your explorer windows where you can search for the external HD
    -after you find the external HD find the iTunes folder you just copied to it
    -after opening the iTunes folder look for the file that says iTunes library.itl or if you can't see that extenstion just look for a document looking thing in the iTunes folder that shows up as a database file
    -double click the database file and boom iTunes should load your library without having to copy it to the computer
    PS: do make sure that if you are going to do it this way, make sure that the external HD is connected at all times, because if you don't then you will get exclamation marks next to your iTunes songs
    double PS: if you are unsure how to find out if the iTunes library file is a database file just right click it and choose properties and under the type it should say database file
    hope this helps:)

  • Can i have two internet connections connected to two airport extremes separately without disturbing the home sharing option.

    can i have two internet connections connected to two airport extremes separately without disturbing the home sharing option. i want to have both the airport extremes to use a single imac for streaming music or video to my apple tv's at different places where one apple tv is in the range of one airport extreme.it's not a problem if both airport extremes have different wifi id's with separate internet.The imac which i use for streaming the music and videos is only in the range of only one airport extreme.is it possible if i can stream music or videos to my apple tv which is not in the range of same airport extreme which i use for imac but in the range of other airport extreme.
    Finally what i need is i want to use two internet networks as my highest possible internet bandwidth is about 1mbps.and i know that i cant mix both the networks and make it as 2mbps.

    Yes, that is possible. Please check out the following Apple Support article for details on how.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and Windows 8.1 Pro in Bootcamp, can no longer drive retina display and two external monitors simultaneously?

    Greetings
    I just upgraded from Mountain Lion and Windows 7 Ultimate (Bootcamp) to Yosemite and Windows 8.1 Pro on a late 2012 MBP 13" Retina. Prior to the upgrades, I was able to drive the retina panel and two external monitors simultaneously when operating directly in Bootcamp. Now, I can only drive 2 of the 3 simultaneously though all three are recognized under Graphic Properties. I simply cannot find any option or profile under Graphics Properties or Options or Personalization to run all three screens.
    My hardware hasn't changed and this worked prior to the updates. I have no issue on the Mac OSX can run all three. I also have no issue doing it in Windows under Parallels Desktop 10. It is just when I boot directly into Bootcamp that this happens. What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    G.

    Great point, Loner T.  It was late when I was working and I thought about this afterwards also.
    The issue was that in Windows=>Control Panel=>Display, under "Change Display Settings", the three screens showed but "Extend Display"  was not selected for one of the screens. It was simply off. I can't believe I danced around this w/o picking it up sooner. In fact, it has happened in the past that for some reason a display loses this setting.
    As an aside, thanks again for all of your help and terrific input to upgrade both the Mac and Windows operating systems. As I was going from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8.1 Pro, one thing I did come across that made life much easier was to upgrade first to Windows 8 so I could keep my apps. The jump from 7 to 8.1 would otherwise migrate my personal files, but not programs and require a lot of time to reinstall all. This was completely avoided by going to Windows 8 first.
    Thanks, again, and very much appreciate the work that you do here.
    Best,
    G.
