Do you need to have the ethernet connected?

Hi, might be being really thick here but I bought the airport express on the understanding that it would lengthen and make my wifi signal stronger. If I have it next to my router, which I can't move from its location, the airport express makes no difference the signal that I had from my router.
I thought once you had set it up you could move it to where you needed a strong signal, am I missing something here?

The AirPort Express can "extend" a wireless network and provide more wireless coverage using wireless....IF....it is used with another Apple router....an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, or another AirPort Express.
Is your "main" router one of these Apple products?

Do you need to have the latest iCloud running to sync all devices?   Thanks.

Thank you.   New, but similar issue. Running XP and early iCloud on laptop. iOS 8+ on iPad and iPhone. Photos do not sync from iPad to itunes to iPhone Nor from iPhone to iPad. Both iOS devices are configured exactly the same. This leads me conclude that my laptop running XP is the weak link. Make sense?

Do i need to use the ethernet connection?

I use the verizon Westell 7500 modem. The computer is configured to run as a wireless device.
I'm sort of confused!!!Do I need to make a connection from the apple tv ethernet port to my modems ethernet connections.
TheApple tv amnual makes no mention about this. This makes me thin the whole setup is wireless, but I'm still scratching my head.
Is this a case of much ado about nothing?

No all it is is a way to connect. If you plug in via ethernet it will use that. If you just connect apple TV to your wifi network it will use that. It makes no difference. Obviously ethernet is quicker if you're streaming movies.

HT1229 Can i move the iPhoto folder onto an external HDD? Will it work the same way after moving onto an external HDD? do I then need to have the external connected at all times, even when I don't use iPhoto?

I have a macbook pro, but the amount of pictures I have now exceeds 500GB
I want to have all the pictures in iPhoto, so I could see them and edit them in iPhoto.
Which means... I need the iPhoto file folder in an external HDD to use iPhoto that way.
Can i move the iPhoto folder onto an external HDD?
Will it work the same way, as if the iPhoto folder is on the internal drive?

yes
yes
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Do you need to have the same OS as the version of itunes that you're downloading for it to work

I'm recieving an error everytime i try to open my recently downloaded version of iTunes. Not sure if i need the most recent OS in order to open the newer iTunes

No, there's some overlap with the OS versions you can use with different versions of iTunes, but one thing is for certain, you can't use iTunes10 with OSX 10.4.11 You need Leopard at a minimum. The highest you can go with Tiger is 9.2.1 but if you need support for a brand new i-gadget then you need the iTunes specified on the box (at least) and that's likely to be version 10.

Do you need to have a WIfi Connection to Play iTunes Match on your iPod?

i just purchased iTunes Match for my iPod touch and iPad2 however im not sure if it will work off of a wifi network?
i hope so!

Yes, it will work via WiFi. In fact, that's the only way it would work on an iPod touch.
Regards.

I have an old ipod touch and it keeps saying, ipod is disabled. I connected it to itunes and it said, sorry you need to put the passcode in, but it wont let me. And my power button doesnt work.

I have Fios. I have the TC connected via ethernet to the Fios router. TC WAN port ethernet to Fios Lan port. Then I just have the TC create a wireless network that is different than the Fios wireless network. How do I set up an Airport Extreme to the TC?

The Airport Extreme is a 4th Gen unit. I just want to keep the TC wireless name to go further through my house.

The Ethernet connection will be from one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme.
Then you can use AirPort Utility - Manual Setup to configure the AirPort Extreme as follows:
Click the Wireless tab located just below the row of icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network (Not "extend a wireless network" as many users incorrectly think)
Wireless Network Name = Same name as your TC network
No check mark needed next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Radio Mode = Automatic
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Same setting as the TC network
Wireless Password = Same setting as the TC network
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings and restart the entire network
Computers on the TC network will now be able to move to the area where the AirPort Extreme is located and not have to "switch" networks. This is known as a "roaming" network.

I have lost the correct proxy settings for the ethernet connection using Safari. How do I get back to the original ethernet proxy settings?

I changed the ethernet proxy settings for Safari on my Mac Pro, when I was in a particular place that required extra security. Now I cannot get the ethernet connection to work when back home. The wireless connection works fine. What are the original ethernet proxy settings. How do I make the changes?
Thanks

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Click Change Settings next to Proxies. Select Automatically from the Configure pop up menu.
You may also have to select the Proxies tab. If any of the boxes are selected, deselect then click OK.

No.

But you can get a Thunderbolt to Ethernet connector.

If you have a smart phone, can you conect it to the new wrieless ipad's or do you need to order the wireless service from verizon?

If you have a smart phone, can you connect it to the new wireless ipad's or do you need to order the wireless service from Verizon for ipad's or do you need to order the wireless service from verizon?

Kneehightoughguy,
You do not need to purchase service from a carrier unless you want to utilize the iPads connection to a 3G Network on it's own (directly). You may choose to add a Tethering plan onto your existing cell phone plan and to have an iPad connect to the Wifi connection that the Tethered phone would offer.
Always compare your usage and your costs, as your mileage may vary.
