Extended vs joined network - which should I use

I have a Time Capsule connected to my iMac and in the living room I have an airport express that I stream music to. Which should I use. Extended or joined netowrk. I find that if it is extended my MacBook Air, iPad and iPhone run a lot slower than if it is a joined network. If it is an extended network all my portable devices are sitting on the Airport Express. If it is a joined network they are sitting on the time capsule where I get the better performance.
In terms of the streaming of my music though it doesn't matter whether it's joined or extended.

For the purpose of streaming only, you will want to configure the AirPort Express to "join" the wireless network provided by the Time Capsule. The Express will, in turn, perform simply as another wireless client on the network and not introduce the bandwidth overhead of an extended network.

That is correct.

  • Which should I use to import my photos in tho my MacBook Pro - iPhoto '11 or Lightroom 4 ? And, why, please ?

    I have two questions, please.
    1. Which should I use to import, edit and manage my photos - iPhoto 11 or Lightroom 4, and why?
    2. How do I save my edited photos as albums and export them to be stored in my Apple Time Capsule for members of my family to import and add to their Apple devices.
    Thank you.

    This is an impossible question for anyone to answer for you. Only you know what you're shooting - Raw or Jpeg? Are you a Pro or an Amateur? If you're an Amateur are you a serious hobbyist or just a guy who snaps pics at the kid's birthday parties to send to Grandma.
    You can compare the feature sets of the two apps. In a nutshell:
    iPhoto is a $15 app. It's designed with the family snapper in mind. For that you get a lot: Lossless processing, complete management, lightweight editing, integration throughout the entire OS.
    LIghtroom is about $150 these days. It's designed for a professional setting.  For that you get lossless processing - but a lot more fine control, less management, powerful editing, no integration with the OS.
    From a photography point of view, if you're a pro or a serious hobbyist then there's no discussion. If you're not, then LR might well be a sledgehammer to crack a monkey nut.
    If you want all the convenience of iPhoto with the power of Lightroom, check out Aperture.
    As to your Q2: depends on your answer to Q1. But that's not an intended use of a Time Capsule.

  • Hi Everyone, I am Sreedhar , I need to extend the Wireless Network which is connected through cable in Airport Express, Without Airport Extreme Base Station is there any way to extend my WIFI

    Need Help

    Let's see if I can get this straight.
    You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
    Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
    Correct?
    See this Apple document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.
    Extreme, Express, Time Capsule

    depending of what you want to do, use one or the other.

  • 802.11g versus 802.11b/g - Which Should I Use?"

    Hi, quick question. What is the difference? Which setting should I use for my home network? Does it matter? I am using a Netgear router with 2 Macs and 2 PC's. Thanks
    d

    But why is that? It's most annoying. Apple (and others) promote this wild and wonderful 802.11g and how much faster it is...Great! I'll go shell out another x-hundred dollars and upgrade, only to find out that where the old wireless b could get a solid and stable connection to my PB EVERWHERE in my home (and next door at the neighbours place) I can't even get a stable connection in my bedroom not even 20ft. away from the router. I'm thinking I should have stayed with wireless b in the first place. Or am I just way off base and just have a defective wireless g card in my PB?.
    Sorry about the rant, but I had to vent.

  • Extending Airport Extreme network with Airport Express using WDS

    I have been having some trouble using WDS between an Airport Extreme and Express, with the Extreme acting as the internet router in the network.
    Both devices have been updated with the lastest firmware.
    I am using Airport Utility 5.5.1
    *Airport Extreme Configuration*
    *Wireless Tab*
    Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
    Allow Network to be extended: Checked
    Radio Mode: Auto
    Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Channel Selection: Manual (Same as my Express)
    *WDS Tab*
    WDS Mode: WDS Main
    Allow Wireless Clients: Checked
    WDS Remotes: (MAC of my Airport Express)
    *Airport Express Configuration*
    *Wireless Tab*
    Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
    Channel: (Same as my Extreme)
    Network Name: (my network name)
    Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Allow this network to be extended: unchecked
    Radio Mode: 802.11n (802.11 b/g compatible)
    *WDS Tab*
    WDS Mode: WDS Remote
    Allow Wireless Clients: checked
    WDS Main: MAC of my Airport Extreme
    I think that covers the pertinent stuff. If there's anything else that might be useful, please just say so.
    So, the Extreme is green-lit, working fine. Wireless clients can connect to it just fine. On the Wireless Clients page the MAC of my Express is showing up, with a type of WDS listed. It does not, however, show up under the DHCP clients section.
    The Express is yellow-lit. Sometimes after a setting change it goes green for a minute or so, then back to yellow, reporting a WDS Error ("the AirPort Wireless device is set up as part of a WDS network, but no other AirPort wireless devices were found").
    The Airport Express is ending up with an ip address of 169.254.49.198 (an automatic private). It seems it's not getting an ip from the Extreme's DHCP.
    Do I have some sort of authentication issue here? Honestly I'm totally baffled.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    Would the routers' logs be of any help?
    Thanks

    Wait, just did a bit more reading. Am I correct in assuming now that the "Extend a network" option will function as a wireless repeater, with no ethernet connection to the main router required
    Yes. This will provide much better wireless performance...and...its much easier to configure.
    On your AirPort Extreme, open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
    Update to save settings
    On the AirPort Express, open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab
    Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network (hold down the option key when you click on the selection box if you do not see this setting)
    Wireless Network Name = Click on the selection box and name of your AirPort Extreme network should appear
    Check mark next to Allow wireless clients
    Wireless Security = Exact same setting as the AirPort Extreme network
    Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme network
    Confirm Password
    Update to save changes
    A good starting location for the Express is a point that is about 1/2 to 2/3 the distance from your AirPort Extreme to the area that needs more coverage.
    The ethernet port on the Express is also enabled, so you can connect an ethernet device if needed. Post back to let us know how things are working.

  • I have an Anker Astro 3 charger with a 9V and a 12V setting. Which should I use to recharge my new Ipad (3)?

    I have an Anker Astro 3 charger with a 9V and a 12V setting. Which setting should I use for my new (3) Ipad?

    Hi there,
    You use only the 5 volt USB ports. Not the 9 volt and Not the 12 volt one either. The voltage must be 5 volts. 9&12 volt ports will damage your device. Below is a link to the Anker Astro 3. Check out the link. Take a look at the first picture of the Anker Astro 3. It's the photo that shows two USB ports to the left of center of the battery. Anker always labels its ports. The ones I have are labeled on the back of the battery where each port is. The product description says that there are 2 5 volt USB ports for a total output of 2 amps. So you would use one of those for your IPad 3. Hope this helps you.

  • Statements which should not use in BADIs

    One Question ...
    Any specific statements are there which we should not use in BADIs ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    BADI is an OO ABAP approach, therefore any statement which won't work in the OO context won't work here! Instead breaking your head on what is to be used? and what not? , run a "code inspector" and "EPC" on your implementation class.it will show list of illegal statements in your BADI implementation

  • Speech Recognition API: which should I use?

    Hi all,
    I'm developing a java application that should be use vocal recognition. I saw some JSAPI implementations, as the cloud garden one. I've created a first alpha of the software with that JSAPI implementation, but there are many problems:
    1) That implementation isn't freely redistributable
    2) That implementation is working only if you have Windows 7 / Vista
    3) That software is working only with ENGLISH versione of Widows 7/vista
    The major problems are the 2 and 3. I would like to know if there is any JSAPI implementation that could be used on a Windows machine with any language (so not only english). However it would be great to have a multiplatform implementation of recognizer, but I don't know if it is really possible.
    Any ideas?

    java speech api work on all platforms that have jdk and if you want to use any language you can build your own dictionary

  • Mail at .Mac vs on my Mac - which should I use ,or both?

    I have Mail with On My Mac, which is where everything seems to come in, and also .Mac. I use [email protected] as my e-mail address. On My Mac puts everything, including the folders I made for various messages, on my hard drive. .Mac puts everything on my iPhone via sync, and I guess backs up those messages as well.
    My questions are:
    1. Should I be using just one (and if so, which one?) or both?
    2. If .Mac is the one, how do I create an Inbox? I am not being allowed to create it.
    Thank you, o great minds.

    Do both. But try first. And of course you can use any browser - why wouldn't it work on Mac - but as for "JAVA" that has been criticized and disabled as vulnerability issues. And I think because Java updates (not javascript) were slow to be ported to Mac OS.
    And yes you can run Windows natively or in a VM. If you want the convenience of dual boot and VM, install and set it up on its own hard drive first then attach VM app to it. I use Fusion but there is Parallels and of course free VirtualBox.

  • Running a small business--which should I use?

    I would like to keep a business client database. I don't know whether to use AppleWorks, iCal/Address Book, or Palm Desktop, which came with my Mac. I like iCal because of its reliable reminders for meetings and other business related events, but the address book does not have a mail merge feature, making it useless for generating mailings. (Too bad, because sometimes the calendar reminds you that you need to send a letter to somebody, and it would be nice to be able to do it with a touch of a button right from your calendar program.) AppleWorks has a database with mail merge, but it has no calendar function. Palm Desktop has both the calendar and contact list with mail merge capabilities, but I don't know what the future of it is. I wish the various software programs "talked to" each other better in this day and age. What would you guys suggest I use?

    Tim,
    If you're worried about 'the future of' Palm Desktop, then AppleWorks is probably not your best choice. AppleWorks has reached the end of its development cycle, and indications are that there will be no further updates to it. While it will work with the new crop of MacIntel machines, using Rosetta, that's about as far into the future as there's any guarantee.
    That said, AppleWorks does, as you've noted, offer the possibility of using mail merge (for printed mailings), which could be the deciding factor.
    If you want to send email, rather than printed mail, then depending on the extent of your mailing list, and the degree of personalization you want, a combination of Address Book and Mail might serve your purposes.
    Your set of 'standard letters' could be kept as a set of Draft messages with subject lines, but with no listed recipient. To send a letter, open, then Copy the draft. Close the draft, open a New message, and paste the draft contents into the body of the new message. Add a subject line, then address the message and send it.
    If you're sending to more than one person, you can set up a group in Mail. Create a new folder, then drag the names you want into this folder. To address a message to everyone in the group, click in one of the address fields in the message, then type in the first few letters of the group name. Double click the name of the group in the list that appears (or press return or tab if the correct name is the only one listed, or the one that is highlighted) to populate the address field with all the addresses in the group.
    To avoid address creep, I place my own address in the To; field, and the rest of the addresses in the BCc field. Each recipient then gets a message with only one address visible (mine).
    "What?" you say, "No recommendation regarding Palm Desktop?"
    Only because I haven't used it. When Claris Organizer (which became palm Desktop) first appeared, a desk planner (eg.Day-Timer) served my purposes well, and was much more portable than the desktop computers I used at home and at work, with only sneakernet to connect them. Now that I'm retired, have a much more complicated schedule, and use an iBook with wireless networking, I'm finding more use for an electronic calendar, and have started to use iCal. I haven't compared the features of the two, so I'm in no position to recommend either over the other.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Which should we use: TFS or RoboSource Control?

    We have two authors working on one project. Our dev team uses TFS. I don't have a preference for which source control solution we use, I just want it to be easy to work on our topics. From the search I've done, it looks like both are accessed from within RoboHelp, but I'm not 100% on that.
    Why should I pick one solution over the other?

    Hi,
    You can use both Source Control systems. If your developers are already using TFS, it might be easier to use that too. For RoboSource control you need to create a new database on a server and connect to that. Why bother if you already have TFS ready to use? Personally, I use TFS because the developers wanted me to use the same source control system as them. Before that I used VSS, but either worked for me. I suspect it will be the same for most other source control systems.
    For more info on using RoboSource control, see: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-archive/robohelp/articles/robosource.html

  • Which should I use, PersonalJava, J2ME with CDC or J2ME with CLDC?

    I want to write a program, which can run on Pocket PC (Compaq ipaq)?
    And I need the support of double?
    What should I do?
    Who can help me please? Thanks!

    It depends which runtime you are using (VM) and what you want your program to do.
    I don't think the iPAQ has native support for floating point arithmetic, so any implementation will do all the calculations in software anyway.
