Did you replace your older AE Base (802.11b/g) with a new AE Base 802.11n?

I am having issues with my iPad maintaining a stable connection to my older Airport Extreme base station. I have the latest 5.7 firmware, and all my other mac computers have no issues, but the iPad's wifi connection is up and down and all over the place. Example, I was sitting near my iMac which had an 8 meg signal on speedtest, and my iPad was a foot away with less than 1 meg. Then about 20 minutes later it went to 5 meg, then later it dropped to almost zero. Meanwhile the other computers have no issues.
Will upgrading to the new AE base station have any positive effect on my iPad?
Thanks
Len

One more thing... when I am in the Airport Utility setup, do I have to do anything to designate my Time Capsule as "N" or does it do this automatically?
And is this line bull:
"Note:
If you’re using Time Capsule as a client on an existing Wi-Fi network, it’s
recommended that the existing network is an 802.11n network."
from the User's Guide?

  • What did you replace your wireless mighty mouse with?

    I am not happy with mine. What mouse did you replace yours with?

    I've got an MX1000, I'll agree that it's quite nice. You may want to look around at Logitech's line. The MX1000 uses RF instead of bluetooth to transmit, though Logitech does offer a line of bluetooth mice. However, I've found that the bluetooth mice tend to be overpriced and lacking some features of their RF counterparts.
    Currently, the top of the line Logitech cordless mouse is called the G7. It works much like the MX1000 (with a laser instead of LED) but runs at a higher DPS. It also includes two battery packs with an external charger so that you can use the mouse while charging a battery pack. I'm not sure of the price for the G7, but you should be able to find a MX1000 for $40-$50 US.

  • Repeating the message 'Did you forget your password? "message. Help

    When I try to login to the iTunes store or check my account I get the error message:
    *Did you forget your password? Your password was incorrectly entered numerous times and for your protection, you will need to retrieve it before continuing to use the iTunes store'*
    Of course I have followed the link, re-set my password, tried to log in and I get the message again - and again - and again
    the iphone works normally.
    any ideas?

    as you suspected, when you click on that "Did you forget your password" link on your local install, you're supposed to be taken to the screen where you can have your password reset to a system-generated value. after resetting the password, an email is then sent to the email address associated with that users record. having said this, can you let me know the URL to which that link is directing you on your local install (sending it to [email protected] would be great)? it sounds as if it's not pointing to the right place...for some reason. to be thorough, could you maybe include the url of the screen you're coming from as well? maybe there'll be a clue there as to what might be causing your issue.
    thanks,

  • Did you ship your products to Europe, Montenegro?

    Hi,
    My name is Sokol, I'm from Montenegro Europe.
    I want to bay some products on your store, because in my country you "Apple" dont have a store I have no idea where to bay a MacBook Pro.
    My question is, Did you ship your products to Montenegro?
    thank you...

    Apple does not ship outside the US from the US store.  See this page http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/ and go to the list of countries in Europe.  Apple treats all member staes of the EU as one country so should be able to ship to you from a neighboring store.

  • Professionals, how did you get your start?

    I know there are many people on here who earn a living working as professionals. I was just curious, how did you get your start?
    I plan to attend Ohio University this fall to major in video production within the Scripps School of Communication. OU is well known for their school of communication, but obviously just having a good name behind your major doesn't guarantee a job.
    What did you do to make yourself more marketable to potential employers? Any other advice that you have to share?
    Thanks in advance
    D

    I started out as an apprentice editor on a feature film.  Got the job mainly because I fixed the director's assistant's computer during my interview.  Knowing how to use the Avid (thanks to film school) helped too. 
    I started at the bottom, and worked my way up.  Gaining knowledge as I went.  Apprentice editor, to tape vault manager, to post coordinator, to assistant editor, to online editor, back to assistant, then to editor.  6 years from the day I started apprenticing until the day I started editing a broadcast show.
    >What did you do to make yourself more marketable to potential employers?
    Learned the ins and outs of the edit systems. I could troubleshoot them if they were broken, and knew the workflows for multiple shooting formats.  Was able to make the decision on edit systems to use and workflows to employ when presented with the shooting format, and delivery specs.  I learned all that from on the job training, and trolling the web for resources.  And a lot of work on my own.
    >Any other advice that you have to share?
    Work your @$$ off!  If you think the job is below you, and act that way, you won't get hired again.  Don't think that you will start off right away as an editor, or DP, or director.  Starting out as an assistant is a great way to learn all that you need to learn to perform your job.  Because right out of film school, you don't know what you don't know.  But work hard, be dependable, and you will get hired again and again.

  • MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

  • Windows XP (sp2) will not update after replacing the hard disk of my Presario V4435NR with a new one

    Hi,
    I had to replace my Presario V4435NR hard disk (80 GB) with a new 160 GB hard disk from Samsung. The original hard disk did not crash but was churning all the time and did not have enough space for all I wanted to put on it. I installed the new 160 GB hard disk (which of course did not have the recovery partition that my old one had on it) and ran recovery from the recovery DVD I made when I first bought the laptop. Everything worked fine until I tried to update my xp through windows update website. This is the error # I get from windows updates (0x80072EE2).
    How can I get my xp to run updates sealessly as it used to before?
    THank you
    Abdul

    I installed it already and things were fine (updates installed with no problems) for a while but the same problem resurfaced after I installed MS Office. Xp gave me the same error code when I tried to update. Woke up in the morning and tried windows update again and windows found lots of updates and installed them smoothly.
    What is causing this inconsistency?
    * Now, I'm unable to get any updates (windows updates website gives me the same error code)

  • How do you set up a new APTC wireless network to seamlessly replace an older APExt Base Station wireless network

    I have an older Airport Extreme Base Station and it currently generates our existing wireless network.  I am interested in setting up a new 2TB Time Capsule. It seems as though the new TC would replace the older AP Ext Base Station in generating a new, higher performing wireless network, with the old AP Ext Base Station repurposed as a network extender out into the backyard where the current Wi Fi signal is weak. 
    Naturally, we have a lot of devices now using the existing wireless network.  Is it possible to set up the new wireless network with the new TC using the same name, password etc, as the existing wireless network, so we are not required to deal with all the devices, not to mention the group of visitors who connect when they are here. If so, how do I step through the process?  Can the older AP Ext base Station then be used to extend the new, same-named network?  Thank you for your help. 

    However, the Alert message I'm getting says that the content of the Time Capsules can't be modified. This is where  I run into trouble.
    Click on the Time Capsule icon to reveal a folder representing the drive. Double click the folder to mount the drive on the desktop.
    The first time that you do this, you may see a "Not Connected" message. Click on "Connect As" and enter the device password for the Time Capsule.
    Then drag/drop files onto the drive icon on the desktop, or to the open window there.

  • Did you change your home folder name and now your computer is all wierd?

    Hello. I did the same thing and I called apple help and they just couldn't help me on this subject. I was messing around with the computer and I found a proper solution where you don't have to re-install the software. Here are the steps:
    Step one: login (if your not already logged in) into the account. It should still be there as the original name.
    Step two: Open your Finder or HD and select the Users folder.
    Step three: You should see your original account name as well as any one else's account name if you have other people sharing the computer. In addition to this you will also see the name you attempted to use as a replacement for your old Home Folder name, note that this is a new unexpected user.
    Have it in column mode for the easiest experience.
    In the new folder you created (this is the user on the list that you named your original folder) You will find all your old settings. Don't do anything yet! take and highlight all of the content in that folder by holding shift and clicking or your preferred way. Drag ALL the content to your original home folder, which should only have library and Documents. (if it has more than it's okay) it will tell you that there are already folders with that name and will ask permission to replace them. Say yes.
    Step four: log out or restart your computer.
    Step five: log in, and or wait till it's restarted Your desktop and dock should be restored to the way you originally had it. Don't change the name on it again. if you want to change the name, you'll need to create a new user.
    Step six: Thank me and leave me complements or questions.

    I think it is rather surprising that the Mac OS allows you to change the name of the home folder and doesn't seem to put up a warning or anything.
    I did change the short name used on my home folder about three weeks ago. I used ChangeShortName Utility v1.2 which I got from here:
    http://www.macosxpowertools.com
    All indications are that using this utility has been 100% successful.
    I did create a new temporary account with administration privileges and I ran the utility from that account. This meant I wasn't changing the short name on the account I was actually using.
    It is very important to read the "read me" with ChangeShortName so that you are 100% sure of what you are doing when you use it.
    Also, of course, back up first

  • New IE activeX issue: did you charge your clients to make the switch?

    Hi all
    I am going to update all my sites containing Flash content
    and use one of these javascript functions
    to generate the embed code, so that Flash plays normally in
    IE.
    I am wondering if I should notify my clients and charge them
    for the change, or if this should be a
    "free maintenance" thing.
    Did you charge for it? Did you do it free?

    > Lisa
    >
    as simple as it gets:
    First, go there:
    http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
    click on download
    in the downloaded folder, find: swfobject.js
    that's the only file you need.
    Copy this file to your site folder.
    Second, in the head of your web pages that contain Flash,
    link to the script:
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
    src="swfobject.js"></script>
    Third, in the same pages, replace any Flash embed code,
    typically something like this:
    <object classid="clsid
    27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
    codebase="
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"
    width="810" height="570">
    <param name="movie" value="movie.swf">
    <param name="quality" value="high">
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
    <embed src="movie.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="
    http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="810"
    height="570"></embed>
    </object>
    with this:
    <div id="flashcontent"><script
    type="text/javascript">
    // <![CDATA[
    var fo = new FlashObject("movie.swf", "", "305", "269", "6",
    "#FFFFFF");
    fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
    fo.write("flashcontent");
    // ]]>
    </script></div>
    Fourth, replace the values with the ones you need for your
    particular flash movie, in this line:
    var fo = new FlashObject("movie.swf", "", "305", "269", "6",
    "#FFFFFF");
    movie.swf = path to your swf file
    305 = width of the swf
    269 = height
    6 = targeted flash player version (latest is 8)
    #FFFFFF = background color
    Last, if this is a drop-down flash menu or any flash content
    that might go OVER or UNDER some html
    content, you will want to add one parameter:
    fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
    just before
    fo.write("flashcontent");
