Connecting old eMac, 360, Wii, PS3, DS, PSP, and Macbook

The eMac and Xbox 360 will be hard wired. The others will (hopefully) be wireless.
None of them support 802.11n, and both macs are running OS X 10.4.11.
My question is, will TC function as a normal old router for all this gear, AND will the eMac and Macbook be able to store data (itunes, photos, etc.) (in the macbook's case, wirelessly) even though they don't have Leopard installed.
I want an external hard drive and I need a new router. Time Capsule is both, but I need it to function with all this gear.

Yes it will.
You will have to have a WEP password as the DS can have WPA.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If home sharing isn't enabled on the Apple TV, you will need the aluminium remote that came with it to do so.

Connecting old Agfa Duoscan T1200 scanner with SCSCI to MacBook with USB?

Hi All,
Im a photographer in Patagonia. I urgently need to scan my film BUT cannot afford a new
medium format scanner.
On the Argentine equivalent of 'ebay' there is an old Agfa Duoscan T1200 going for $400 ARG Pesos/ $132 US Dollars/ £66 GBP. Its still alot to pay but in its day it was a very good scanner (for medium format and large format film scanning).
Im aware that I might have to download software to make it work BUT can anyone tell me if they've done this AND if there's a "SCSCI to USB adapter" thats possible to buy.
Also IF anyone HAS managed to make this scanner work with a MacBook or the latest Macs...what software did you use please? (Im running 10.4.11)
ALL help apprreciated.
Thanks

Dude en BA
You are discussing just what I am dealing with about a friend. Just an early answer, is that there are SCSI-USB adaptors, costing about US$70,- to US$130,- here in USA. Have yet to find if this AGFA is supported in OSX. Can work with OS9 (Classic), will have to check if what software can be downloaded.
You are thinking of doing what I am working on my friend to get away from. Moving everything off his 10 year OS9, past his 5 year OSX to his 2.5 year OSX! Your avenue a possible but, but possibly not worth it.
Best wishes

Problem with bluetooth connection between iPhone 5s iOS 8.1.2 and MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) Yosemite 10.10.1

After the upgrade to iOS 8.1.2 in iPhone 5s and OS X 10.1.1 Yosemite (MacBook Pro Mid 2012) can not connect my iPhone 5s to the MacBook, the iPhone tells me: "The MacBook is incompatible" or the message "Connection Error, Make sure the Mac is turned on and is within range" even the iPhone being close to the Mac. Otherwise with the updated iPad 2 (iOS 8.1.2) is connected via bluetooth to the MacBook without any problems, Even the iPad 2 does not detect the iPhone bluetooth.
Help me please

An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

Connecting airport extreme, netgear dsl modem, windows 7, and Macbook pro

I'm having a problem connecting my airport extreme to my netgear modem, windows 7 pc and my Macbook Pro. Until a few days ago, I had a Westell wireless dsl modem and everything worked fine. Now, the only way I can connect to the internet is through my desktop pc and the hardwired modem.

If your goal is to extend/boost the range of your Netgear router with either or both of the AirPorts, this will not work wirelessly ... at least, not completely by wireless. That is because, WDS is not standard and each manufacturer has had creative license to implement it as they see fit for their products.
Instead, you have at least two other choices to use the Netgear (as the main Internet router) with the AirPorts:
Connect one AirPort directly to the Netgear by Ethernet, and then, configure both AirPorts for an extended wireless network. In this configuration, you would be running two separate wireless networks; one created by the Netgear, and the second the extended network created by the AirPorts.
Connect both AirPorts directly to the Netgear by Ethernet, and then, configure all of the routers for a roaming network. In this configuration, there would be a "single" wireless network where wireless network clients can literally roam from one router to another and still be on the "same" wireless network.

Connecting AirPort Extreme to my Windows desktop PC and MacBook

First I'd like to mention that I'm a brand new user of Macs so please excuse my ignorance. Is it at all possible to hook up my Windows PC and my Macbook Pro to the Airport Extreme so they can both share the same internet connection? I'm also pretty sure my Windows desktop PC is NOT Wifi ready. Help...thanks.
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Yes you can connect your PC via ethernet and your MBP can connect through ethernet or WiFi.

Have 2004 eMac...screen goes black without notice. Getting a reconditioned 2005 eMac. Can I have the HD swapped from old eMac to reconditioned one without problems??? Black screen is called "collapse to black" and occurs 4-5 daily

Have 2004 eMac...screen goes black without notice. Black screen is called "collapse to black" and occurs 4-5 daily. From what I understand, this is due to bad capicators????? Found a reconditioned 2005 eMac on line. Can I have the HD swapped from old eMac to reconditioned eMac without problems???...with regards to software applications. Old eMac is running 10.4.11 and reconditioned on runs 10.5. Suggestions, tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Might want to make sure both units are not affected. This is the range of serial number from the now-defunct Apple Repair Extention Program for USB 2.0 eMacs:
G8412xxxxxx- G8520xxxxxx
YM412xxxxxx - YM520xxxxxx
VM440xxxxxx - VM516xxxxxx
A "collapse" is more indicative of a video cabling issue, but the bad caps produced such a wide range of problems that it's hard to sort through them.
If the old eMac is a USB 2.0, which a 2004 unit should be, the HD should exchange with the new one. As the last of the eMacs shipped with Tiger, the new computer should have no probelms with a 10.4 boot volume on the old drive. You can upgrade to Leopard one you have hte new disk in place.
NOTE: Takeapart and reassembly on the USB 2.0 must be done "just so" or you can permanently damage the power switch. Instructions for the USB 1.1 takeapart are slightly different , and the power swtich damage is usually caused by people using the older instructions on a newer eMac.
If you are not up to the takepart nor can you find a local computer tech who knows these. consider taking the drive out of the dead computer(won't make much difference if you damage that one as it's dead), buy an external Firewire enclosure, and put the old drive on it and use it to move data to the new computer. Then you can leave the external attached as a backup drive.
Is the new one a 1.42Ghz model? They have been practically trouble-free around here. We have one and it's been rock solid since we bought it as a refurb in Jan 2006. The 1.42G has the advantage of a Core Image-enabled video chipset, the ATI 9600.
And all USB 2.0 eMacs can, with modern memory modules, support up to 2G of RAM.

Bluetooth iPhone 4s and MacBook Pro connecting

I need some assistance with the connection between iPhone 4s (OS 6.0.1) and MacBook Pro (OSX 10.6.8). I paired the machines but I cannot connect them.

The Iphone is designed to only connect with wireless speakers, headsets, and keyboards through bluetooth. You are not able to pair the iphone with a mac through bluetooth. It is an unfortunate device limitation :/

I want to connect an old eMac to an LCD TV.

Hi, all. Thanks for reading this.
I visited my parents and found my old eMac from 9 million years (and Macs) ago. It's the 700 MHz Power PC G4 model.
I would like to connect it to my LCD TV. The TV has PC inputs (VGA) and I have the Apple mini VGA adapter and a VGA cable that I know works. I have it connected now, but the TV says "Not Supported." The TV works fine connected to my MacBook Pro and other PCs. I know that the eMac in question is a bit old- but it's a Mac!
I just want what's on the computer to display on my LCD. I'm not terribly concerned with screen resolution or whether or not I can use "screen spanning."
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for reading!
-Vincent.

The eMac allows only display mirroring, so what goes to an external will be limited to the res on the eMac, and with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The video chipset in that eMac is pretty dated---that might be where the trouble lies.
There are other factors like color depth and refresh rate. The TV will have to be able to work with the limited options that the eMac video hardware offers. I would start by setting the res to 1280 X 960 (the largest I have on our eMac 700) and millions of colors. See if you are offered different refresh rates. If so, try different ones
Something more basic: Have the TV connected and ON when you start the eMac. That helps the compuer find the second display. Also look on the TVs options to see if there is a setting for a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Beyond that, I'm out of ideas!

How to set up internet connection between MacBook Pro and an old eMac?

I got an old eMac without wifi and a MacBook Pro. I'd like to share the network connection via ethernet cable to my eMac, but I can't get it work.
I'd like to use it with screenrecycler and it needs a network connection.
How to do it? How to set up the connection between the client and the host? Could somebedy give me a step by step guide?
Thank you very much

Hello,
First, are you using Wifi for Internet on the MBP?
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list, Wifi on the MBP.
In Shating on both, enable File Sharing, Screen Sharing, & Web Sharing on both.
Then with the Ethernet cable between the two, find the IPs of both, or use Finder>Go>Connect to Server>Browse... see what shows up.

Can a 23 or 30-inch display be connected to a XBOX 360 or PS3?

Can a 23 or 30-inch display be connected to a XBOX 360 or PS3?
Thanks.

If your PowerBook has a dual-link DVI port, it will work with the 30-inch Cinema Display; this port can be found on a PowerBook with a clock speed of 1.67GHz. Neither the PowerBook nor the MacBook has upgradable graphics.

Issues connecting psp and ps3 airport extreme

Im having issues connecting my psp and ps3 to my airport extreme.

I have the newest airport extreme (square) & I was able to connect my psp, ps3 and Nintendo DS to it wirelessly once I change the security back to WEP. It seems that they were having trouble connecting to my WPA protected network.
Also, go into airport utility and manual settings. Under the Wireless tab, make sure that the radio mode option is set to the first options (8.02.11n (802.11b/g compatible) and not the other options.
Hope this helps.

Problem using File Sharing to access files from my old emac.

I have a new imac and I'm trying to share files with my older emac. I can access my imac files from my old emac through File Sharing, but I can't seem to access the old emac files from my imac. On my imac I can get to the Drop Box folder through File Sharing, but when I try to open the Drop Box folder I get this error message "The folder “Drop Box” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents." What do I need to do to be able to open the Drop Box folder? Where do I need to go to change the permissions so that I can open the Drop Box folder?
Thanks in advance,
George

The easiest way is when you connect, connect as the admin user and you'll be able to access the entire user folder (and more). So (depending on the version of OS) select "connect as..." then put in the username and password of the user you are connecting to (so the details of the eMac you are connecting to). This should allow you to access the entire user folder.
If you select any folder or file, then press command+i (or 'get info' from the file menu in finder), it will launch a window with more info about the file/folder. At the bottom of the window you have "sharing and permissions" - in here you can (after unlocking with admin username and password) add permissions for your user.
The dropbox is usually used to transfer to a machine - so you'd generally use it to drop something from anywhere on your eMac into the dropbox on the iMac, and then you can recover it from the dropbox on the iMac. The permissions are set so anyone from the outside can only write to this folder.

How do I import emails from my old eMac to iMac G5

I have recently upgraded to an iMac G5. I need to copy all my old emails (3 years worth) from my old eMac to the new computer. What options do I have? I don't want to copy anything else (applications or documents). I use Apple's Mail on both computers. Thanks.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You're welcome.
If the eMac supports being connected to another Mac via Firewire Target Disk mode (which I believe it does), you can connect both Macs this way for the import and for manually transferring any and all data from the eMac.
