Do I need to add an AirPort?

I have TimeWarnerCable - the 30/5 package - and a wireless router from TWC. I have to keep it on the floor in an alcove. Would it be possible to get an AirPort and hook it up this way (see pic):
I have adapters that will run a "wired" signal through the outlets/home wiring to another adapter.
Would it be possible for the AirPort to "boost" the TWC network without replacing it?
Or... Do I need an extreme and express with the TWC router set in bridge mode?
thanx
tim

Thanks for the drawing - it makes your installation easy to understand.
"Power line" adapters are unpredictable - it might work or it might not. Try that if you wish, but be sure you can return it if it does not work in your home.
A particular model power line adapter may work well in one home, but using the same exact adapter in another home may not. The difference lies in the home's wiring which cannot be determined without an on-site examination and even that may be inconclusive.
An AirPort base station cannot "boost" another manufacturer's wireless network.
If you can find a way to run an Ethernet cable from your computer desk to the living room, under the crawl space or through the basement for example, you can attach the AirPort (Express or Extreme) to the Time Warner router that way. This would be ideal.

Mac pro part# FA356LL/A - need to add compatible Airport card?

Mac pro part# FA356LL/A (refurbished i think changes the part number from MA356LL/A)- but im not sure...
I need to know what airport card it can take? 802.11b/g/ or n
It never had one and was always used via network cable. Now i want it to have wireless access to the internet.
any advice, thank you

You can use an AirPort 802.11n card so long as it is the right model.

That link is what you want I think. Of course you can find it else where as well, but that should include the part number to help refine your search.

I have an imac OS 10.4.11 and am using Safari 2.0.4. I would like to update this. I have 1 Gb memory. Do I need more memory to update my computer? I would also like to add an airport system and something where I could read word applications.

I have an iMac OS 10.4.11 and am using Safari 2.0.4 I would like to update. I have only original 1 GB memory-do I need more to update?I would also like to add an airport or router and would like to add something where I could open word applications. Is it hopeless?

Thanks. That's a Mid-2007 model with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. You can run any version of Mac OS X on it up to and including Mac OS X Lion, though for Lion you'd need to increase the memory to at least 2GB, something I'd recommend doing anyway; it's inexpensive and often can increase performance. Your iMac can take up to 6GB if RAM; 4GB is probably a good compromise between cost and performance with a 4GB kit costing about $50.00 US from a reliable vendor such as Crucial.
Your system already should have included the Airport wireless networking capability, so all you'd need would be a wireless (WiFi) access point (aka "router" or "base station") and an appropriate Internet connection. Apple's Airport Express and Airport Extreme, and the Time Capsule if you'd like to have a built-in hard drive for backups and extra storage, are good choices for a WiFi access point, but there are a number of other manufacturers.
As to upgrading the operating system, as I said, you can upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, or Mac OSX 10.7 Lion (the most recent release). Apple no longer lists Mac OS X 10.5 on their web site, but if you call the Apple Store you may still be able to purchase a copy. Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is easily available as is Lion though with Lion you'd need the $69.00 USB flash drive installer or you'd need to purchase and install Snow Leopard first (other than on the flash drive, Lion is only available from the Mac App Store which can only be accessed from Mac OS X 10.6.6. or later). Before you decide, I'd strongly suggest you find out what versions of Mac OS X your applications and perpherals will support, either as they or with a free or affordable update. I'd suspect most of your applications and peripheral drivers would need to be upgraded, at least to support Snow Leopard or Lion. If you consider Lion, make sure of your applications; Lion will no longer run PowerPC-only applications, so many older appliations will not run under Lion.
Finally, as to Microsoft Word documents which is what I presume you mean, you can of course just purchase Microsoft Office. There are other ways to work with Word documents, though. If you just need to view Word documents, TextEdit in MOSX 10.6 and 10.7 (and perhaps 10.5; I can't remember) can open and view many Word Documents. For something a bit more capable, you can purchase Apple's Pages, part of the iWork suite and now available separately for Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7, or try one of the open-source solutions such as LibreOffice.

How do I add an airport extreme to a cable modem with only one ethernet port, while keeping that port connected to my Mac?

I have a mac pro connected by ethernet to a cable modem via ethernet. There is only one ethernet port on the modem.
I want to keep the Mac connected via ethernet for speed. Is there a way that I can add an airport extreme to this set up - for my ipad and roku, and for guests to use - or do I need to buy a router to put between the modem and the mac?
If I need a router, what kind?
Thanks.

The modem connects to the WAN "O" port on an AirPort Extreme router.
The Mac Pro connects to one of the three LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme router.
Or if you do not need the ability to connect a hard drive to the USB port on the router, you can save a bit by using an AirPort Express.
The modem connects to the WAN "O" port, the Mac Pro connects to the LAN <-> port
Either the AirPort Extreme router or AirPort Express router will allow up to 50 wireless device to connect.
There are many other wireless modems offered by other manufacturers as well.

Do I need to add Base Station MAC address to list?

Hi, If I choose to use MAC address filtering on my Airport Extreme Time Capsule, do I need to add the wireless MAC address of the Base Station to the list of allowed MAC addresses??? I'd feel real bad if I set up a list, didn't include the base station's MAC address and then could never get in to the network again because I, in effect, locked myself out??? I doubt that address needs to be included but I would like some feedback on that.
Second, does the one MAC address filter list apply to the Guest Network as well if I should choose to turn it on??? If that was the case, I would just turn off MAC address filtering why guests were present.
thanks.. bob

If I choose to use MAC address filtering on my Airport Extreme Time Capsule, do I need to add the wireless MAC address of the Base Station to the list of allowed MAC addresses???
No. Timed Access would be for wireless devices....computers, mobile devices, printer, etc., that are connecting to the Time Capsule. The Time Capsule does not connect to itself in this regard.
I'd feel real bad if I set up a list, didn't include the base station's MAC address and then could never get in to the network again because I, in effect, locked myself out???
Sometimes, users lock themselves out by mistake by entering incorrect times for devices to connect, and they often forget that they can connect to the base station using an Ethernet connection and get back in that way.....since Timed Access only applies to devices that connect using wireless.
does the one MAC address filter list apply to the Guest Network as well if I should choose to turn it on???
Yes

How do I add an Airport Express to extend the range of my WIFI network with my iMac as a base station?

Hi people
I need help to configure a new Airport Express only to extend the range of my WIFI network.
My ethernet cable from modem is connected directly in my iMac and I am sharing the internet by WIFI inside home very fine.
Now, I would like connect my devices on my garden on backyard.
I can't move my iMac from their place and i just want add a Airport Express between the iMac and backyard to extend the range of WIFI.
But I can't to configure to that. On Airport Utility appear the Airport Express connected directly to internet globe, but don't work.
So, what can I do? What is wrong?
Thanks all and best regards.
Carlos Sgrillo, from Brazil.

The AirPort cannot do what you ask.
The Airport needs to connect to a modem, or another router......not to a computer.
The Express can only extend a wireless signal that has been provided by another Apple router.

Can I add an Airport Express into an existing Non Airport Wireless Network?

Hi -
Is there any way I can add an Airport Express into an existing Linksys wireless (802.11g) network?. I would not mind switching completely over to Airport but I want to maintain a hybrid (part wired part wireless) configuration as I have now.
thanks for any assistance!!

Hi skyelaird and welcome to the Discussions
Is there any way I can add an Airport Express into an
existing Linksys wireless (802.11g) network?.
Yes.
You would need to configure the Airport Express to join an existing wireless network (client mode).
In this mode you can share a USB printer and stream AirTunes, however the ethernet port would be inactive.

How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network?

How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network? I have an ISP provided wireless Router that has to remain as the base station. I am able to join my 1/2TB Airport Extreme and Airport Express to the network, but I can't access/use Time Machine.

One option would be to connect the Time Capsule (TC) to the ISP-provided wireless router by Ethernet. You can then configure the for a roaming network. Then, depending on what your goal is for the AirPort Express, you can either: 1) Add it to roaming network, 2) Configure the TC & the Express for an "extended" network, or 3) Configure the Express to "join" the roaming network for AirPlay.

i.e vbak-zuonr
after that trigger logic is
3.vabk-kunnr = knvv-kunnr
a)sy-date + knvv-kvgr2 (exclude sundays)
example - 14 sept + 30 days = 14th october
should populate value - 14th october i.e. field (zchdt)
4. This activity needs to be triggered before the sales order is saved.
kindly know whether this is possible or not.
if possible how & which exit & also with example code.
if you could give me your contact(cell no).

Need to add number of days to users end date.

Hi,
I have a code where we are adding number of days(30) to current date and then updating user's end date in IDM DB.
Now we have a requirement where we need to add number of days(30) to existing end date of user instead of adding to current date.
*public String incrementDate(int daysToAdd)
     // Start date
     log.info("NotifyLastDayOfService::incrementDate(): Enter");
     SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd 00:00:00");
     Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
     c.add(Calendar.DATE, daysToAdd); // number of days to add
     String newDate = sdf.format(c.getTime());
     log.info("NotifyLastDayOfService::incrementDate(): Exit");
     return newDate;
Have any body implemented this scenario?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Kalpana.

Hi Nayan,
Here is the code:
System.out.println("----inside increment date method-----");
          HashMap<String, String> hm = new HashMap<String, String>();
          HashMap<String,Date> modifyMap=new HashMap<String,Date>();
          SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd 00:00:00");
          tcResultSet usrList = null;
     String enddate = null;
     hm.put("Users.Key",usrKey );
     try {
     usrList = this.usrIntf.findUsers(hm);
     usrList.goToRow(0);
     Date endDate =usrList.getDate("Users.End Date");
     System.out.println("-----users end date-----"+endDate);
     String userEndDate=sdf.format(endDate);
     System.out.println("-----String value of users end date-----"+userEndDate);
     Calendar cal=null;
     System.out.println("-----Calender date-----"+cal);
     cal.setTime(endDate);
     System.out.println("-----end date-----"+endDate);
cal.add(Calendar.DATE, Integer.parseInt(daysToAdd)); // number of days to add
Date newEnddate = cal.getTime();
System.out.println("-----new end date-----"+newEnddate);
//usrList.setEndDate(Edate);
modifyMap.put(userEndDate,newEnddate);
usrIntf.updateUser(usrList, modifyMap);
System.out.println("updated user's end date in OIM DB");
//System.out.println("-----updated user's end date in OIM DB-----");
logger.info("NotifyLastDayOfService::incrementDate(): Exit");
     System.out.println("-----new date-----");
     } catch (tcAPIException e) {
     logger.error("Error in finding end date for user" + e);
     } catch (tcColumnNotFoundException e) {
     logger.error("Error in finding end date for user" + e);
In th log file, I can see that the code is not executing this line:
cal.setTime(endDate);
end date is of type Date and stores users end date from DB. Please help in resolving this issue.

I need to add a program to my laptop, but I have forgotten my password. How can I reset it?

need to add a program to my laptop, but I have forgotten my password. How can I reset it?

Solution may be found if you search in the "More Like This" section over in the right column.

I upgraded my Airport Express from g to n and now my older desktop running 10.5.8 cannot connect even when I supply the correct password. Do I need to update the airport in the 10.5.8 system? What version is recommended?

I recently replaced my Airport Express (11g) to one running 11n. My iMac running 10.4.11 uded to work fine with 11g but now cannot connect to the 11n Airport Express. I can see the network listed and it asks for a WAP2 password, but when I supply the password it fails to connect.
Do I need to upgrade the airport software on the iMac, and to which version.
Bill Pratt

Tesserax,
Thank you for the suggestions. I tried first setting the radio mode to 802.11b/g compatible using the Option key hint that you supplied, but I got the same error message when I tried to join the network from my older Mac. (I apologize for saying in error that it was running 10.5.8, it was actually running 10.4.11--the last version that still supported Classic--and is a G4 PPC machine.)
The attempt to login to the network from the PPC machine gave me the standard log-in prompt, but I noticed that it asked for the WAP password, and my two other machines--both Intel MacBooks--get asked for the WAP2 password. The first time I noticed this I was still thinking the "error in trying to join the network" was a function of the 802.11n setup.
When your first suggestion didn't work, I reset the base station back to the original 802.11n (b & g compatible) but got the same error message--asking for a WAP password--so I went back into the setup, and selected the WAP/WAP2 Personal menu selection, restarted the base station, and was able to successfully join the network!
Your tip led me to the right place to fix my problem, Thank You,
Bill Pratt

How do you add an Airport Express to an existing Airport Express network

I assume that you are interested in using the new Express to extend the wireless range of the other.
If so, please check out the following Apple Support article.

I need to add check whether 21 fields of a internal table are empty or not.

Hello,
I need to add check whether 21 fields of a internal table are empty or not.How can we write a code for the same wand what would be the correct syntax for it.
I tried entering all the fields in the IF loop with AND condition but its giving syntax error.Perhaps this is because the lenght of the IF condition would be more than the allowed one.

Hi,
After the select quiery.
If not itab is initial.
Message 'Table is not empty' type 'I'.
Endif.
