How do i tether two airports together?

How do tether an airport extreme and an airport express together to extend my wireless network?

Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Express and power off the Express for now and let it rest.
Make sure that you have downloaded and installed AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Leopard/Snow Leopard since this will be used in the configuration of both the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express.
I assume that you know the name of the wireless network and the password for the AirPort Extreme wireless network, but you may not know the exact type of Wireless Security setting that it is using....and you will need that to configure and match up the settings on the AirPort Express.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.1
Click the AirPort Extreme to highlight it and then click Manual Setup at the bottom
Click the Wireless tab located below the row of icons
Look for the setting for Wireless Security and jot that down
Close AirPort Utility
With the Express still powered off, hold in the reset button on the back of the Express, and keep holding for another 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the Express. Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart.
Connect the Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express. I assume that you have tested to make sure that the cable is working correctly.
Open AirPort Utility 5.6.1 as above and click on the AirPort Express and then click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab under the row of icons to assign a device name, device password, and adjust Time Zone settings. Your screen will look similar to this:
Click the Wireless tab just to the right of the Base Station tab and adjust as follows:
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as your AirPort Extreme network
Enter a check mark in the box next to Allow this network to be extended
Radio Mode = Automatic
Radio Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as the AirPort Extreme network...very important
Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme network
Verify Password
Settings will look similar to this:
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update and allow a minute for the Express to restart to a green light
Power off the entire network....all devices....in any order you want
Wait a minute
Start the modem first and let it run a minute
Start the AirPort Exteme next for a minute
Start the AirPort Express next for a minute
Keep starting devices one at a time the same way until everything is powered back up
You are in business now

How to hook up TWO Airport Expresses and base to reduce AirTunes dropouts?

Any suggestions on the best way to set up Airport Extreme base station with two Airport Expresses to allow iTunes to drive two separate stereos?
I've had a lot of problems with random Airtunes dropouts with this system, even now that I have removed all security from the network (removal of which definitely helps AirTunes). And I can consistently play music through ONE of the stereos without dropouts. But whenever I try to use the Multiple Speakers option in iTunes, the dropouts start again.
I've changed my channel to one that none of my neighbors is using. I've tried moving all of the Airports away from other electronics. Right now the two Expresses are clients of the network created on the Extreme base, which is where the cable modem is connected. Is there some better way to do it? Like use the Expresses as relays instead of clients, or something?

While I don't have any suggestions to make beyond what you have already tried, I can tell you that configuring the Airport Express units as relay or remote base stations will likely make the problem worse because of the bandwidth penalty you get from such a setup.
In case you haven't yet seen it, this is what Apple has to say on the topic:

How do I connect two lines together.

I have two lines at an angle but where the corner of the angle is supposed to be there is a little triangle missing. I tried joining the two lines together but when I hit join one line goes past the other.
Before Joining:
After Joining:

There is no need to lock one of the paths, because you do not have to tediously select endpoints just to join paths. Doing so was necessary in Illustrator for most of its history, but it finally (decades behind other drawing programs) gained the ability to join paths at their nearest endpoints by just selecting the paths.
Undo (or cut) the unwanted join.
Black pointer: Select the left and right paths.
Join.
Alternativley, when drawing line art, it is not uncommon to set your default Graphic Style to use rounded endcaps. That negates the problem of the "missing triangle" (as you call it) appearance of coincident straight end caps.

How can I use two Airport Express N's together

I have just purchased the new airport express n and I have the one that I am currently using which is also an n.
How can I use both at the same time as part of the same network?

If your goal is to extend the wireless range of one AirPort with another, check out this Apple Support article.

How can I Connecticut two Airport Express with One Time Capsula?

Only by Wifi or by LAN in a row?

What are you trying to accomplish with the AirPort Express devices?
Where will the Express devices be located in relation to the Time Capsule?
If you are planning to use the Express devices to "extend" the wireless range of your network, Ethernet LAN will always provide far better performance than trying to connect the Express devices using wireless only.
You have the option of connecting both AirPort Express devices directly back to two LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule....or....connecting one Express back to the Time Capsule and then connecting the second Express to the first Express using Ethernet. This assumes that you have a "new" Express with both WAN and LAN ports.
If you choose wireless only, both Express devices will connect back directly to the Time Capsule, so both of them should be located where they can receive a strong signal from the Time Capsule wireless.
A "hybrid" approach can also work. Connect one Express to the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable and then setup the second Express to connect to the first Express using wireless only.

How do I bring two texts together

Hello,
I have followed difficulty. Two Indesign documents are in front of me. Both have classifieds with three batch formats. One batch format for title of a theme (Format A), one for the headline of a classified (Format B) and a third batch format for the text of a classified (Format C).
Here a structure example in first document:
A1
B C
B C
A2
B C
A3
B C
B C
B C
B C
A4
B C
Here a structure example in second document:
A1
B C
B C
B C
B C
A3
B C
A5
B C
A6
B C
B C
B C
B C
Or so the situation is in both documents. But e.g. A2 could be a title in document 1, who isn´t in document 2, otherwise one title could have three classifieds in the first document and ten classifieds in the second document...and so on
So my wish would be to have one sorted list with the text of both documents. Alphabetical sorted in title and also in classifieds. In example as followed:
A1
B C
B C
B C
B C
B C
B C
A2
B C
A3
B C
B C
B C
B C
B C
A4
B C
A5
B C
A6
B C
B C
B C
B C
Can somebody help me? The difficulties for me is to group a classified with two batch formats for an alphabetical sort process and then get a sort list for each title area. I hope everybody understand my broken english.

Not sure if this would help but my guess is that you are trying to create something similar to a table of contents, maybe you want to check out this documented at : http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/creating-table-contents.html
In case of multiple documents you can always create a book and then generate the Table of content, but you will have to maintain proper styles to achieve that.
Hope this helps!!

How do I put two songs together to one?

?????????

The surest way would be to burn the two songs to CD. Then reinsert the CD and let iTunes pick it up. Next, select the two tracks. From the Advanced menu, select "Join Tracks". Then set the album name and artest. Now, import the CD. One file should have been generated.
If you don't have CD burner and the files are MP3s, there is a handy little program called MP3 Joiner. I used it to combine multiple CDs (one MP3 file per CD) into fewer files. I've computer a 29 CD audiobook into four files with the length of 9+ horus each.
Hope this helps,

How to stitch two photos together as panorama

how do I stitch two photos together to form a panorama?

Best way I can think of is to know the dimensions of the two photos, start a PS Touch project that's roughly the additive width of those two photos (e.g. If both photos are about 1000 pixels across, start with a project of about 2000 pixels wide or more), then place each photo on its own layer using the "add image" button (2nd icon from the upper left).
Use the "transform" icon (5th icon from the upper right) to change a layer's size, position, etc. Adjust one layer's transparency while you place them together. Put it back to 100% opacity when done.
When making a panorama, remember to have an overlapping point (usually about 20 to 30%) between the two photos. This makes it easier to stitch.

How best to use TWO Time Capsules, Airport Express and Apple TV?

Hello
I have the following Apple equipment and am wondering how best to plug it all together. At the moment I am not using some items at all because I do not know how to best use!
1. MacBook Pro (2012 model) 'Mac1'
2. MacBook Pro (2009 model) 'Mac2'
3. MacBook Air (2011 model) 'Mac3'
4. Time Capsule 1TB (model A1355) 'TC1'
5. (another!) Time Capsule 1TB (model A1355) 'TC2'
6. Airport Express (2008 model)
7. Apple TV (2013 model)
8. LaCie 1TB USB Hard Drive
9. Apple iPhone
10. Sonos system
CURRENTLY
TC1 is plugged into the Virgin Media modem to provide a WiFi network called 'Amer's Apple Network' around the house. The Virgin Media wifi has been switched off to reduce interference.
TC2 is not being used. The Airport Express is plugged in upstairs (or sometimes near garden) to extend the 'Amer's Apple Network' and this seems to work fine.
Apple TV is plugged into main TV and is plugged into 'Amer's Apple Network' directly using Ethernet to TC1 but often runs slowly and does not work if Mac1 is not awake (or iTunes is not running on Mac1).
LaCie is plugged directly into TC1 and currently has a old copy of my iTunes library stored on it which my Sonos system access. However, there seems to be a problem in that iTunes randomly uses that LaCie library and/or local Mac library. Often we get a pop up message on Mac1 saying "Library cannot be found" and we have to manually navigate to the LaCie drive (via the TC1 folder) to open iTunes. Also connecting iPhone to Mac1 seems to work very slowly as it appears to be trying to back up to LaCie drive.
QUESTION
What would be the best, most efficient way of using all (or if some is redundant equipement then which), to set up the following:
1. A shared home network which enables all three computers (and any future Macs and/or iPads etc) to access one master shared iTunes library, which is the one that is updated with any new music, films etc added via any of those machines
2. A shared home network that enables a shared files folder but also allows each user to keep their own personal hard drive (eg locally on whichever machine they are using).
3. A fast (as possible) iTunes back up process when connecting iPhone to computer
4. Usage of both TC1 and TC2 (and Airport Express) to extend network around the house (several weak spots exist) and also to maximise storage using the 1TB of each TC1 and TC2.
5. Would it then also be possible to attach the LaCie USB drive for an additional 1TB storage? If so how and would it be very slow? From existing usage it appears to be very slow when used as a regular access drive, so perhaps better as a 'slow' drive that is just occassionaly used for back up and nothing else
Main question is (to the networking experts!), how would you personally set up all above to give best wifi coverage, fastest back ups, access to Sonos for iTune library, access to Apple TV, and shared folders etc etc. I basically seem to have lots of kit (albeit some quite old) and nothing seems to be working together particularly well.
Happy also to ditch any bottlenecks in the above equipment list (eg LaCie USB drive?) and add something which would better bring together the other components?
Any thoughts much appreciated!
Best
Amer

So ... FINALLY ... I found some time to implement this!
Steps taken and results:
1. Moved my entire music library to Mac1. Used the opportunity to also share my other Mac2 onto HomeShare and copy across any music files from Mac2 onto Mac1 that were not already there.
Result: Mac1 now holds my whole music library locally. Works incredibly fast whenever playing a track, adding a new track or updating info on existing track. Good!
2. LaPastenague's instructions for bridging TC1 with TC2 worked a dream. Only thing is they are basically next to each other as I don't have the energy (or cabling expertise) to install (cleanly) long runs of ethernet cable.
Result: Got a clear Wifi signal, not sure if any faster than before but I assume two TCs next to each other both sending out the same network signal can't be any worse than one. Main thing is that I have an extra 1Tb network drive (i.e. TC2) connected to TC1 which I can access from all my Macs now.
3. Copied the entire Mac1 Music library over to TC2 drive into the Data folder. This happened relatively quickly (I think!) ... but would welcome any comments on whether slower than expected, to highlight if I might be able to improve the connection. 12,000 songs in 2 hours, with Mac1 sending the files to TC2 wirelessly. I know I could probably have connected Mac1 to TC2 by ethernet cable to speed up, but I had run out of Ethernet cables by now!
Result: All my music (as of today anyway) now on Mac1 AND on TC2 in normal readable format (i.e. by Sonos and as a simple back-up that can just be carried around and copied anywhere in the event of loss of Mac1 drive
4. Set up TC2 Music Library in Data folder to be the networked music folder for Sonos using "\\TC2\Data" (ps. why doesn't Sonos allow a simple click and select option for choosing drive and instead force us to go back to the 80s and type in drive path which isn't always clear, especially on a Mac!)
Result: Sonos can access all my music (as of today anyway) on TC2 and no need for Mac1 or any other Mac to be open.
BUT: As you may have guessed, the issue with the above set up is that as soon as I buy a new song, it will get added to my Mac1 quickly and smoothly ... but the area where I really use my music (i.e. Sonos via TC2) will have the older music library.
QUESTION: Is there any way in which I can adjust the above set up, so that whenever I add new music to my Mac1 it also copies across to TC2? Don't mind if this is done slowly and later (eg in middle of night) but of course don't want to have to copy across manually each time. Would prefer it to just update newly added tracks regularly.

thank you!

Your AirPort Express is already providing two separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, but each band is using the same wireless network name.
This is the default setup for the AirPort Express, which is recommended for most users. The theory here is that devices will automatically connect to the best quality signal based on their capabilities and distance in relation to the AirPort Express.
It is possible to assign a different name to the 5 GHz band, and then "point" devices at that network to connect. Some users swear by this option.....(I am not one of them).... but you might want to give it a try to see how it works for you.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Express
Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
Click Wireless Options near the bottom of the next window
Enter a check mark next to 5 GHz Name.....which will automatically add "5 GHz" to the network name....so you can identify it
Click Save, then click Update and wait a full minute for the Express to restart
Now you will need to "point" your 5 GHz capable devices at the 5 GHz network name. 2.4 GHz devices will connect to your "other" network name.
