Do i need airport on a pc (windows7) and an IMac?

do I need airport on a pc running windows 7 and an Imac at the same time?

Need AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow

hey there.....any help would be greatly appreciated.....
I ave passed along my graphite base station to my brother in law for his new iMac and it seems he needs the "AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow" to get it set up. The new "Airport Utility" doesn't seem to recognize it. Is the utility still available for download? I can't seem to find it anywhere?
Another option....is it possible to copy and paste the utility into my iDisk and have him download it from there?? Not sure it that will work??
Again...many thanks for any help anyone can offer!!!!!

AirPort Admin Utility, version 4.2, which works with Graphite and Snow base stations, can be found within the download of AirPort 4.2 (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airport42formacosx1033.html).
I tried it on my MacBook running Mac OS X 10.4.10, with a Graphite base station, and it works fine, so far as I can tell.
I did not actually try to install AirPort 4.2 using the installer, because I was afraid of messing with my system when all I wanted was the utility. Here is how to get it:
- Download the disk image AirPortSW42.dmg from the Web page mentioned above. If the installer launches, quit the installer.
- Double-click the disk image to mount a volume named "AirPort 4.2 Update."
- Within the AirPort 4.2 Update window, ctrl-click on "AirPortSW.pkg."
- Select "Show Package Contents."
- Open the "Contents" folder.
- Double-click the "Archive.pax.gz" file, which causes an "Archive.pax" file and an "Archive" folder to be extracted to the desktop.
- Open the "Archive" folder, the "Applications" folder within it, and the "Utilities" folder within that.
- The AirPort Admin Utility is there. You can move it to Applications/Utilities and discard everything else that was downloaded.
Thanks to Tesserax (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5136389&#5136389) for recently explaining how to extract an AirPort utility from a download package.
Although I have never seen "AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow," it probably was the same thing as AirPort Admin Utility, just renamed.

Lost Airport internet connection between G5 and G3 iMacs

I hope you don't mind, I posted the following in internet etc. but not much traffic there...
I'm doing this from memory as not in front of either iMac. I have until now had a simple wireless internet connection as follows: G5 iMac connected by ethernet to broadband supplier which shares internet connection via Airport. This is picked up by an ethernet wireless router connected to my G3.
This has stopped working over the weekend. G3 had an amber light in network status (static DHCP address or similar) but that has now gone to green and 'connected to the internet' etc.
The internet sharing control on the G5 has full signal strength but seems to have difficulty checking status - revolving petal thingy below signal strength. But occasionally does settle on 'status fine' or similar.
Now the G3 fails to connect to the internet, G5 works just fine.
No settings have been knowlingly changed and all seem to be correct. There was a power failure for a couple of hours last week, don't know if this is related.
Thank you very much for your help.

Darrin, just back from Montreal and glad to see that great minds think alike. Often, in fact usually, problems with airport connections can be solved by rebooting the router/airport. For no apparent reason, they often go all funny, and this usually takes care of the problem,
anyway, glad you are back up and running,

Do I Need Airport Express If Both My iMac and MacBook Have Airport Cards

Just ordered a new MacBook that has a built-in airport card. Also will be using my good old iMac (both running Leopard 10.5.6). Since both computers have the built-in airport cards, do I still need Airport Express so I can use a WiFi network? I've already set up an Airport WiFi network on my iMac so I can WiFi my iPod touch. Isn't it the same principle? Hate to waste money if I don't have to. Also, I've got another iMac in the house that also has an Airport card (also running 10.5.6). It's in the shop for repair now so I can't try this out to see if it works - but can I simply turn on airport and internet sharing on that mac and let it use the WiFi network already set up on my other mac? Hmmm??? Thanks for any help.

Basically what you have done is utilize OS X's Internet Sharing feature on your iMac. This turns your iMac into a "software" router. In this case, you MacBook (& other wireless clients) can access the Internet through the iMac so you do not need to get a hardware router, like an Express or Extreme base station in order to do so. The only constraint is that the iMac must be on for this to work.

Do I need airport to connect my new Mac Book Pro to a wireless printer?

Do I need Airport to connect a wireless printer to my new Mac Book Pro?

No and you don't have to use the wireless card in your MBP either.
A wireless printer connects to your wireless router. Any other device (computer) that is connected to the router either by wire or wireless will be able to use the printer.

I just purchased an airport extreme router to increase the range of my wifi. I have an imac with 10.5.8. I get a flashing yellow light on the base unit and it tells me I need airport utility to install yhe ubnit. Where do I get this and how do I do it?

Yes, that is correct.
Did you have the instructions that came with your Airport Extreme? Are you sure you have it setup properly? Here is the setup guide:

Ensure you have everything setup properly. Once you do this and if you are still having trouble, follow Star's instructions.

What codec do i need to play .mov on windows7

what codec do i need to play .mov on windows7 i get a message saying im missing components, then sends me to a page with several

Quicktime should be able to natively handle .mov files. Make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime installed on your computer. If that doesn't work, try an alternative media player like VLC, which can play just about any type of media file.

If I have airport extreme do I need airport express?

I want to add wireless printers to my network. I use airport extreme already. Do I also need Airport Express?

You could also buy any non-wifi printer, hook it up to Airport Express via USB. It has its merits.
You get some benefits:
you get an audio out on AEX, in case you want to run some speakers in the area where your printer is located
AEX (in bridged mode) will extend your signal coverage in the area, so your WiFi coverage gets wider around your house
If you use a hub on AEX, you could hook up a printer and an external drive to it
You would set up the AEX in Airport Utility, which you already know, so there would be no other software to learn
Airport Express costs on apple refurb store only $69.

Going wireless with FiOS--do I need Airport?

Hi, everyone. I'm signed up to get FiOS internet later this month. They provide an Actiontec MI-424-WR wireless router. The FiOS rep told me he thinks I'll also need an Airport base station, but do I? The Actiontec is a wireless access point just like the Airport--why would I need two?
I want to print wirelessly, too, and hope this setup will work:
--Plug the HP 4ML printer's Farallon Ethernet bridge into the Actiontec. Yup, my SCSI laserprinter is 15 years old, but thanks to the bridge, it works with all my Macs.
--Plug the Epson 777i inkjet's USB connection into the iMacDV (no wireless card) and plug the iMac's Ethernet cable into the Actiontec. Here's the only place I can see where I'd need Airport (maybe Express)--replacing the iMac as the bridge from a USB printer to the Actiontec's Ethernet.
TIA for advice!

PhillyJan,
I do have some direct experience with Verizon FiOS, and the Actiontec router. There are some very weird things that go on between the FiOS "box" and the router, where the box actually takes control of the router's settings. Also, the only access to admin functions on the router are through ethernet, so you can't configure on the fly using a wireless connection.
However, with a little research and patience, it can all be made to work well (it certainly is fast enough ;-)). First, you have to figure out the "default" admin access settings on the router. The authentication strings for the Actiontec can be found in the documentation (I don't recall what they are off the top of my head), but it might help if you could query the person that does the installation while he/she is present.
What I found particularly annoying was that I couldn't change the settings for the wireless router (SSD, password, etc.). Apparently, these settings are controlled by the FiOS box, and will reset themselves even if you perform a "hard reset" on the router. When it reboots, the FiOS box (again, apparently) loads a preset configuration into the router. All I could ever manage to do was to reset the router's admin login to the factory default, thereby gaining the ability to ascertain the password to connect wirelessly.
Perhaps there is a way to actually change the authentication settings/protocols on the router, but I couldn't find any in the time I had (this was not my hardware, but a family member's). Again, the installation tech may be able to help. Regardless, the router works perfectly well, once you know the password for connection.
For wireless printing, I really do recommend an Airport Express. If you can manage placing it where it can be connected to a stereo at the same time, all the better. It is easily configured to connect to the existing wireless network, and it will do so seamlessly. It is also great to take along when you travel, in case you find a hotel with ethernet, but no wireless service.
Keep in mind that a single Airport Express could serve to wireless share both of your printers, using a USB hub. Hmmm.

Need airport utility for pc

The link that Nachos Libres provided will only work if you have Windows 7 on your PC.
If you are running XP as your profile indicates....and it must be XP SP3.....you need to download and install AirPort Utility 5.5.3 for Windows
