How can I tell whether my airport extreme is a third or fourth generation and what's the difference?
Is there a desernable difference between the airport extreme third generation and fourth? How can you tell which one you have?

The 3rd Generation product was the first Apple simultaneous dual band router, introduced in March 2009. Minor changes were made in the chipsets between the 3rd Generation and 4th Generation versions with some antenna improvements added in the 4th Generation versions as well. The 4th Generation version was introduced in October 2009.

How can I tell if my Airport extreme is actually running at "n" speed?
I have an Airport Extreme (802.11n) with an attached HDD that I use for storing photos etc.
When I try to access the photos with my MBP it is extremely slow. (so slow and frustrating that I usually take the notebook and sit beside the HDD so I can plug it in directly ... not exactly convenient)
How can I tell if I'm getting the full performance out of the Airport Extreme?
I have an Airport Express that I use purely for iTunes. It is NOT an 802.11n model. Will the Airport Express force the Airport Extreme to run at 802.11g speeds even if it is only used for AirTunes?
Also I have two iPhones (3G and 3GS) in the apartment that connect to the WiFi network. If I upgrade my Airport Express to be 802.11n will I still get slower (g) network speeds because of the iPhones?
Is there any option other than upgrading to a Time Capsule?
thanks

Any non-"n" wireless client (including the 802.11g AirPort Express), connected to a "n" network, will reduce the overall available bandwidth for "n" devices. In addition, to allow these devices to connect, your network must operate on the 2.4 GHz radio ... which has a maximum "n" bandwidth of around 130 Mbps. The 5 GHz, with dual-channel enabled, would provide your "n" clients with 300+ Mbps.
Also I have two iPhones (3G and 3GS) in the apartment that connect to the WiFi network. If I upgrade my Airport Express to be 802.11n will I still get slower (g) network speeds because of the iPhones?
Yes.

Yes, you may want to consider reconfiguring your AirPorts for a dual-band network by connecting the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) directly to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) by Ethernet. In this configuration, you would have two separate wireless networks, one for the higher speed "n" clients and the other for the "g" clients. -
How can I access HDD on Airport Extreme with iPad
How can I access HDD on Airport Extreme with iPad
Without third-party software I don't think you can. An iPad has no user-accessible interface to a file system. Just what is it you're trying to do?

How can I tell if my computer (2x2.26 Quad Core Xeon
c Pro) and my Airport Base station(Airport Extreme 1Tb Time Capsule) are Gigabit compatible? I want to add a Cisco switch to the network.

Tony BreuerAll Mac Pro's ever made have shipped with gigabit ethernet. The last non-gigabit tower desktop Apple made was the very first generation PowerMac G4's back in 1999.
Similarly, all Time Capsules have been gigabit ethernet as well - never been one that was not. -

I was sent an email which I thought was legit . I opened an attachment (zip file) but nothing in it. I phoned the bank to double check, and of course the email was bogus. How can I tell whether my macbook air version now has a virus?
No Mac viruses are propagated through email.
Be vigilant for suspicious activity as you normally should be, but do not download or install some "anti-virus" utility in an effort to fix a problem that does not exist. That's a well-worn path to certain misery. -
how can i tell if someone is logging into my find my iphone account and how can i find out who it is? Can I add a second layer of password security for Find My iphone?
Nobody can log in to your iCloud account unless you gave them your password. There is no other way.
If you shared your password with someone (not a good idea) and no longer want them to have access to your account, change the password and don't share it again. -
Hey just wanted to know what is the reason i would connect my external hardrive to the extreme and what is the difference between LAN and WAN ehternet. I know one is local and other is wide but can someone explain in simpler terms.
Connecting a hard drive to the Airport Extreme makes it available to be shared across all the computers on your network.
WAN (Wide Area Network) is your connection to the internet
LAN (Local Area Network) is your internal (or local) ethernet connections (computers, printers, etc...)

How many types i can import as file in FLA and what's the differences ??
Hello
How many types i can import as file in FLA and what's the differences ??you wouldn't import a .as file.
you could open it in the flash ide (or any text editor) and edit it.
you could create a fla and assign a document class which flash will compile into your swf.
you could create a library object in a fla, tick export for actionscript and assign a class that flash will compile that class into your swf.
you could instantiate a class object (using the "new" constructor) in a flash movieclip timeline or in another class file and flash will compile that class into your swf.
for Workers to extend a class use something like:
package
import Citizens;
public class Workers extends Citizens
protected var baseSalary:Number = 1000;
public function Workers()
super();
public function receivePayment():Number
return this.baseSalary; -
Query: how to use structure and selection and what's the difference between
Query: how to use structure and selection and what's the difference between these two?
Would be appreciated if some experts here give examples to demenstrate on how to use structure and selection in query and what's the difference between these two?
Thanks in advance!Hi Kevin,
1. Well by default all the KF that you include in your query go into a Key Figure Structure. You can additionally have another structure for defining how your chars are laid out. A common example is a Calmonth structure where you have selections for 12 months, quarers and YTD values. This would be a char structure with different selections (for each month, qtr etc)
2. Yes, a selection with a KF is the same as restricting a KF. You can use am RKF is you have one on the left hand side, or if you need to do this locally in the query, right click the structure and choose New Selection, then proceed to choose your KF and reqd char values.
Hope this helps... -
How can I utilize a 2nd Airport Extreme to extend a network but not WIFI, only hardwired?
Hi All. Need your help figuring this out. The location of the cable line in my home causes a bit of an issue for my internet dependant electronics. My computers have no problem connecting over Wifi but certain peripherals require an ethernet connection as Wifi is not an option for them. I have prepared this quick diagram to explain my perfect set up. I have a current gen Airport Extreme and a Previous gen as well. How can I set my 2nd Airport to receive the Wifi from my main airport, but then only serve as a router, not extend the WIRELESS network. Only provide a hardwired network. In other words, I know how to "extend network" with airport utility, but then the 2nd airport also casts its own wifi network and causes problems. I only want the one single Wifi network. The 2nd router should only be providing ethernet connectivity.
Is this even possible? Both Airports are running the most updated firmware. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!With a properly configured extended network both AirPorts will be broadcasting the "same" Wi-Fi network. This shouldn't impact wired clients at all. The other advantage of using an extended network is that your older AirPort Extreme's Ethernet ports will be enabled for wired clients.
At present the only other option would be to connect the older Extreme to the newer one using an Ethernet connection between them. Then disable the older Extreme's Wi-Fi radios. -
How can I set up an Airport Extreme as a router, in conjunction with my AT&T modem/router?
I am trying to set up an Airport Extreme as my router, and I am currently using an AT&T modem/router combo. I am wondering what would be the easiest way to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the ATT modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme. This cable must remain in place permanently.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility on your Mac
Click on Other WiFi Devices
Click on AirPort Extreme xxxxx
The utility will take a moment to analyze the connection, then a screen similar to this will appear with your AirPort Extreme instead of an AirPort Express
Type in a short simple name that you want to use for the wireless network
Type in a device name for the AirPort Extreme
Enter a password that will be used for both the AirPort Extreme and wireless network
Verify the password
Click Next
The utility will setup everything for you. When the message of Setup Complete appears, click Done and close AirPort Utility.
The AirPort Extreme wireless network is now available. -
How can I strenghten a weak Airport Extreme (2nd Generation) signal?
I have been having a weak WiFi signal in my Airport Extreme. Even when I am in a room that is less than 30 ft away.
Here are the details:
AirPort Extreme 802.11n (2nd generation)
Version: 7.6.1
Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
Channel: 6
Connect Using: Ethernet
My Airport Extreme is on the second floor of the house and is connected to a D-Link DIR 825 router that is on the first floor.
Sometimes when I am on the second floor, I get a better signal from the D-Link router than from the Airpot Extreme.
How can I strenghten the signal?

I would like to download the new iOS, however when I go to do that, a message tells me that I cannot because I need 4.6 GB of storage in order to install it. I only currently have 864 MB of storage available on my 16 GB iPhone 5s.
The storage problem would be fairly easy to solve through deleting photos and/or videos, as the Photos & Camera app shows a current usage of 5.7 GB. I am perfectly comfortable deleting photos off my iPhone if I know that they will remain in iPhoto on my Mac. However, when I select photos to delete, the phone warns me that the photo(s) will also be deleted from Photo Stream on all my devices. I tested this with some photos I didn't care about (whether or not they got permanently deleted from all devices), and it is perplexing, because even though the iPhone warned me that the photos would be deleted on other devices, they have not deleted out of iPhoto on my Mac. I even Quit iPhoto and re-started it, but the photos are still there. Why would the iPhone claim that the photos would be deleted from other devices, but yet clearly the photos are not being deleted from my other device? This leaves me confused and unsure.
Meanwhile, if I select a bunch of photos then click Delete, the phone warns me that SOME photos will also be deleted from Photo Stream on all my devices.
I am very annoyed by the ambiguity of the word "some," and not being able to know for sure whether or not photos I delete off my iPhone will still remain in iPhoto on my Mac.
I would just like a really clear answer if possible: currently all my iPhone photos are showing up in iPhoto on my Mac. If I delete photos off of my iPhone, will they or won't they be deleted from iPhoto on my Mac?
Thanks if anybody can help.xcwomac wrote:

If the Photos have been moved into the Library (Events, Photos, Faces, Places) in iPhoto on your Mac (either because you did it manually or as a result of iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > Automatic Import being on) then nothing you do on the phone will delete them from iPhoto on your Mac.
If the Photos are ONLY in the Shared - iCloud section of iPhoto then you risk losing them as deleting them from Photo Stream will delete them from there.
