Help!!! Need to extend the airport wireless range for my place of business

I was recently moved to an area in my place of business where my wireless connection is just out of range from my macbook pro. My job requires me to be connected constantly to the internet and am stuck on how I can reconnect to our companies wifi network access. Are there any 3rd party products that can help me boost the wifi signal from my macbook? Please keep in mind that for a better part of the day im in my pickup so I can't use something like an airport express since I don't have an outlet to connect it to.
TY in advance.
P.S. Im about 200 feet away from our networks closest access point.

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 is for Snow Leopard onwards.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Need to extend the airport distance

is there anyway to extend the distance or reach of the airpot?

Yes. You can add a second 802.11 AirPort Extreme or Express to extend the wireless range of the first.

I have an AirPort Extreme time capsule . I need to extend my wifi network range. Which devise is better ?? Airport express or AirPort Extreme ??

I have an AirPort Extreme time capsule . I need to extend my wifi network range. Which devise is better ?? Airport express or AirPort Extreme ??

Since you have the new Time Capsule, then you will need a new AirPort Extreme to match the performance capabilities of the Time Capsule.
If best quality is preferred, you will need to connect the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection between the devices. The advantage of doing it this way is that you can locate the AirPort Extreme exactly where it is needed...and there will be no loss of signal through the Ethernet cable.
A wireless connection will result in a significant drop in performance, but it might be OK for your uses, if you want to try it that way first to see if the performance is acceptable.
It is really important that the AirPort Extreme be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
A line-of-sight relationship between the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme would be the goal, with the AirPort Extreme located about half way between the Time Capsule and the general area where you need more wireless signal coverage.

I have a Mac Pro 4,1 quad core intel Xeon running mac OSX 10.6.8 and I have just moved studios and now need to use the Internet wirelessly but there's no airport facilities on this model can anyone tell me what model of airport card I would need for this

Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

HT1515 do you need to connect the airport express to a router via ethernet or can it do it using wireless?

do you need to connect the airport express to a router via ethernet or can it do it using wireless?

There are 3 Apple routers....AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule. Details here:
http://www.apple.com/compare-wifi-models/
Do you have one of these products in the living room?
If no, you can only use the AirPort Express by connecting to the router in the living room using an Ethernet cable at all times.

What's the AirPort Express range/coverage?

I need a new router because my home's pretty big. I'm not sure if AirPort Express will give me enough coverage or whether I need to buy the AirPort Extreme.

There are a number of factors that need to be taken into account when discussing a router's Wi-Fi range. The most critical is Wi-Fi interference. This interference can come in many forms that include building material, distance between the router and the client, other Wi-Fis operating nearby, microwave ovens, etc. Another is antenna design for BOTH the router and the wireless client.
In practice I find that the 2nd generation 802.11n AirPort Express base station provides a useable range of approximately 150'. Best bandwidth performance is within 50'. The AirPort Extreme is slightly better than this.

Help needed in Extending HeaderVO -VERY URGENT!!

Hello,
I need a urgent help.
Actually I am trying to modify the exisiting Print Quote Document which is actually getting called from a template cald ASOPRINTQUOTE.xsl
This particular xsl uses HeaderVO, LinesVO and PromptVO and hence I had to modify these xml and in turn the .java files.
I customized it by adding the new columns thru JDeveloper and extending the VO's and substituting them
In the process while extending the respective VO's comes a step wherein I need to specify(Thru JDeveloper) Application Short Name and Responsibility Key.
Now the issue is this particular Quote dicument can be accessed from 2 different respons. called
Oracle HTML Order Quoting Sales Agent(Its a OA framework with application top as QOT)
& Quoting Sales Agent.(Its form based with Application top as ASO)
I chose ASO as the top as all my .class files and .xml files are present in
oracle/apps/aso/print/server
Now then after extending the VO's and importing it etc . when I log in thru the reponsibilty
Oracle HTML Order Quoting Sales Agent , it gets me a error of stmt exception.
wheras
it runs via the respon Quoting Sales Agent and reproduces a PDF output without any data??
There are few questions I am looking out for an answer desperately.
1) My HeaderVO, LinesVO and PromptVO are extended, so do i need to extend the links present in that in my new extended VO' s as well.
2) My xsl stylesheet has a statement as
select values of:....../HeaderVO/HeaderRow/....etc etc
do i need to replace the above line to my new extended VO i.e
select values of:....../CustHeaderVO/HeaderRow/...etc etc
Kindly reply to me asap as I am in a development scenario..
Do let me kow if u need more clarity on this?
Regards,
Ajit

Oracle quoting is not in OAF, only the print functionality uses these VOs as data source , and are used in the xsl, for XML publisher to generate the quote print .
1) My HeaderVO, LinesVO and PromptVO are extended, so do i need to extend the links present in that in my new extended VO' s as well.
Please explain this , what do you mean by extending links ?2) My xsl stylesheet has a statement as
select values of:....../HeaderVO/HeaderRow/....etc etc
do i need to replace the above line to my new extended VO i.e
select values of:....../CustHeaderVO/HeaderRow/...etc etc
YesThanks

I need to extend the schema for iPlanet Dir. 5.0 and add custom objectclasses and atributes. I do this by adding entries in the 99user.ldif file. Its not working. Any ideas?

Hi
I need to extend the schema for iPlanet Dir. 5.0 and I do not want to do so from the console. As per the documentation, I need to either add entries in the 99user.ldif file or define my own custom [00-99]myname.ldif file. I tried this but its not working.
I have made the assumption that there is no explicit import step for the 'user defined' schema files (as it is for user data ldif files). I assume that on start (or on opening the console), I'd be able to see the new schema after the server has read the schema file.
I have verified that entering new objectclasses and attributes from the console adds entries into the 99user.ldif file. So why is the reverse process not working. Can anybody throw some light on this? Also in case my assumptions are faulty, please let me know.
I did not change the aci entries in the existing ldif file. Is any modification needed there? I was logged in as the Directory Manager during this testing process.
regards
Sikka ([email protected])

Hi Sikka,
The server reads its schema configuration on startup. If you manually modify the schema files while the server is running, it will not have any effect. You have to restart the server.
The console adds the new schema elements over LDAP (you could do that as well, you only have to modify the cn=schema entry), so the server is aware of the changes immediately and thus restarting is not needed.
I hope this helps.

Do I need to connect the AirPort Extreme with a ethnet cable

Do I need to connect the AirPort Extreme with a ethnet cable

Hi Tracy,
I have an airport express connected by ethernet cable to a Netgear modem which is connected to a phone socket. Those devices stay at one end of the house. I can use my MacBook Pro to connect to the internet (by Wi-Fi, no cables) anywhere else in the house. I hope this helps.

I just bought a new Motorola modem. Do I need to reconfigure my Airport Express? For some reason we have WiFi even though the amber light is blinking.

I just bought a new Motorola modem. Do I need to reconfigure my Airport Express? For some reason we have WiFi even though the amber light is blinking.

Typically, when changing out networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power reset of all of your networking equipment.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Help needed to optimize the query

Help needed to optimize the query:
The requirement is to select the record with max eff_date from HIST_TBL and that max eff_date should be > = '01-Jan-2007'.
This is having high cost and taking around 15mins to execute.
Can anyone help to fine-tune this??

To start with, I would avoid scanning HIST_TBL twice.
Try this
select c.h_sec

     , c.h_paid
     , table_c.eff_date
from mtch_tbl c
left
join (
          select sec_alias
               , eff_date
               , instance
            from (
                    select sec_alias
                         , eff_date
                         , instance
                         , max(eff_date) over(partition by sec_alias, instance) max_eff_date
                      from hist_tbl b
                     where eff_date >= to_date('01-jan-2007', 'dd-mon-yyyy')
                        or eff_date is null
           where eff_date = max_eff_date
              or eff_date is null
       ) table_c
    on table_c.sec_alias = c.h_sec
   and table_c.instance = 100;

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
