How do you set up a new APTC wireless network to seamlessly replace an older APExt Base Station wireless network

I have an older Airport Extreme Base Station and it currently generates our existing wireless network.  I am interested in setting up a new 2TB Time Capsule. It seems as though the new TC would replace the older AP Ext Base Station in generating a new, higher performing wireless network, with the old AP Ext Base Station repurposed as a network extender out into the backyard where the current Wi Fi signal is weak. 
Naturally, we have a lot of devices now using the existing wireless network.  Is it possible to set up the new wireless network with the new TC using the same name, password etc, as the existing wireless network, so we are not required to deal with all the devices, not to mention the group of visitors who connect when they are here. If so, how do I step through the process?  Can the older AP Ext base Station then be used to extend the new, same-named network?  Thank you for your help. 

However, the Alert message I'm getting says that the content of the Time Capsules can't be modified. This is where  I run into trouble.
Click on the Time Capsule icon to reveal a folder representing the drive. Double click the folder to mount the drive on the desktop.
The first time that you do this, you may see a "Not Connected" message. Click on "Connect As" and enter the device password for the Time Capsule.
Then drag/drop files onto the drive icon on the desktop, or to the open window there.

  • New 10.3.9 install on Pismo G3, Airport Extreme Base Station Error Network

    My 10.3.9 Pismo laptop G3 with built in firewire ports worked perfect on my Airport Extreme Base Station — I just Erased and reinstalled 10.3.9 (it was working before I Erased this morning) and now my Original Airport card can't join my wireless network:
    *"There was an error Joining the Selected Network"*
    I zapped Pram, reset power manager successfully (date reverted).
    I accessed the AEBS by a 10.6.3 Mac Pro and checked the Equivalent Password "WPA Password: ####PW###"
    Radio Mode selected: 80211n (80211b/g compatible).
    APBS version current: 7.4.2
    G3 sees my network as expected.
    The APEBS hasn't changed (except for the recent update).
    I restarted the AEBS.
    Still get the error...HELP!
    I saw the exact problem on several archived threads, but no one gave a solution or explained the problem (and I'm going blind here).
    Again, for the past two years it was working fine with 10.3.9, it broke this morning after I erased and reinstalled 10.3.9.
    10.3.9 is the only software loaded on this laptop.

    If you just bought it I would recommend calling Apple, they can help you set it up.
    Also you should consider getting a high speed Internet connection. They are very inexpensive these days and would make your Internet experience much more enjoyable. Where you live I would think you have a choice of DSL (available from most telephone companies) or Cable, which would be the quickest but also more money too.

  • How do you set up your new version of PSE10 with a new MAC?

    What are the first steps you do when you install a new version of PSE10? I had some settings on my PC (already deleted it and could maneuver around, but I can't figure out how to do this on my MAC - HELP!!!
    I am trying to import elements/photos into my projects, and used to be able to open a window and drag it into the project. I found out I can drag it into my project bin, but not directly onto my project workspace, and then into my project or can I?? Does it have to do with setting up cascading my files, or anything like that?
    I am also having a hard time trying to resize my elements. Keep getting a message that I cannot do anything because pixels are not selected (something to that effect) I can resize right after I put the element into the project, but it seems I cannot go back to it (there are no 'dotted' lines around it anymore) and I get that message.
    Also when I pull anything into my project it goes to the top toolbar in my project. I'm very frustrated with this all!!!

    Sorry you're having trouble. When you say "import" do you mean you want to put things into the organizer or just open them in the editor (for future reference, opening a photo isn't importing it)?
    Where are you dragging from? If you're dragging from the desktop, in recent mac versions you can drag an image into the main workspace only if there isn't a photo already open in the editor. That's just how adobe did it.
    Also when I pull anything into my project it goes to the top toolbar in my project.
    Sorry, don't understand what you're saying here at all. Can you explain in  more detail?

  • How can you set up a new graphiccard ?/SOLARIS 8 - intel architecture

    Hi...
    I`ve installed Sun microsystems SOLARIS 8 on my intel
    architecture based system.
    The Computer is a Toshiba satellite 2210
    with a trident cyber 9525 graphiccard.
    During installation i wasn�t sure about the graphiccard
    and so i chose the standart 16 colors card.
    But now i know the type of the card and would like to
    configurated it on this system.
    I�ve allready tried it with the admintool but then i realised
    that it`s only for changing user, groups etc.
    How can i install the graphiccard ???
    Is there any tool for this ???
    Maybe somthing like SAX from the SuSE Linux ???
    THX

    Btw. it's best running kdmconfig from the text console;
    stop "dtlogin" using the "Options -> Command line
    login" menu.
    You should get a "console login" on the text console.
    Login as "root", and run kdmconfig to configure your
    new video card. When you're happy with the card,
    resolution, color depth, etc... and the card tests
    without errors, save the settings in "kdmconfig" and
    log off from the text console. After ~10 seconds,
    dtlogin restarts automatically using the new settings.

  • How do you set up iTunes 10.5 on a new computer?, How do you set up iTunes 10.5 on a new computer?

    I have a new computer  with Windows 7, Outlook and I use iTunes with an Apple iPhone 4 and a iPad. My devices have iOS5. How do you set up iTunes 10.5 on a new computer and sync these devices. I have already downloaded iTunes 10.5 on my computer. Also, I use MobileMe. Thanks for your help. LCP

    Thank you for your response. I have all of my files, etc. and am sitting here on the old computer. I just wasn't sure if I should simply save the iTunes program I am using or insall a new version.
    After I get iTunes onto my new computer do I authorize the new computer before I plug in my IPod or after?
    I'm sorry I didn't point out that I had all of my files available. For some reason, working with iTunes and my iPod make me nervous.
    Thanks again.

  • How do you set the number of rows in a spreadsheet, so that even when you drag data in, in writes over those rows instead of adding a new row?

    How do you set the number of rows you want in a spreadsheet, so that even when you drag data in, in writes over those rows instead of adding a new row?

    After the discovery reported above, I filed this report :
    Bug ID# 10073038
    Summary:
    When Numbers is used on a system with decimal comma a csv file may be good AND wrong
    Steps to Reproduce:
    With Numbers v2, you introduced an interesting enhancement.
    In system using the comma as decimal separator, Numbers requires csv files using the semi-colon as values delimiter.
    In fact it’s true if we OPEN the document dragging its icon on Numbers one or thru the open dialog.
    This said.
    (1) Drag and drop a csv built with the 'semi-colon' standard on a table or on a sheet
    (2) Drag and drop a csv built with the 'comma' standard on a table or on a sheet
    Expected Results:
    Every normally constituted user assume that in
    case (1) he will get a perfectly built table
    case (2) he will get every cells of a row in a single cell
    Actual Results:
    In fact you forgot the drag and drop way of use and in
    case (1) every values separated by semi-colon are inserted in a single cell
    case (2) values separated by comma are correctly spread in a table
    isn’t it ridiculous ?
    Regression:
    Except looking in  QuickView to see which is exactly the structure of the file to decide the way we will insert it in a Numbers document, we may use an applescript fair enough to replace the semi-colons by TAB characters
    or
    to replace the commas by TABs and the decimal periods by commas
    Notes:
    While I am on this subject, I wish to make two proposals:
    (1)  It would be fine to format the date according to the ISO format year-mm-dd when you export a Numbers doc to csv.
    Doing that, dates would be imported correctly in every countries.
    At this time, on an English system, you export as mm/dd/year.
    If the doc is open on a system using the format dd/mm/year, the results will be odd.
    On a system using the format dd/mm/year, you export this way and so, if the doc is open on a system using the format mm/dd/year the results are odd too.
    As every localized versions accept the ISO format (at least on entry), using it in the export scheme would give a correct behavior everywhere.
    (2) It would be fine to add the format Tab Separated Values in the Export pane.
    TSV + ISO date format would give documents opening flawlessly everywhere.

    How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
    i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
    unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
    factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
    connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
    create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
    login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
    add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

  • How do you Set up a Family Pack sub-account

    how do you Set up a Family Pack sub-account i have purchased a Family Pack account and enter the activation key and i can not find where to set up the sub-account.
    please help
    Denis

    Thanks Shepart
    when i activated the account i ticked the upgrade button, should i have ticked the new account button?
    anyway, when i do what you say (below) there is not a manage "Accounts button" so i went to reactive it again ( for a new account) and is says that the activation key is all ready in use.
    Denis, go to www.mac.com and sign into your account. Click on the word "Account" at the top of the left hand column. You will need to sign in again for security purposes. Once your account settings show up, click on the "Manage Accounts" button and you can take care of everything.
    i think i hit a brick wall !!

  • How do I set up a new mail account on my iMac?

    Hello everyone,
    I think I used to have a Mail account however I could not remember the password when I tried to turn it on. I decided to delete the account completely and to start again. How do I set up a new mail account with a new email address and a new password??
    I can see how you create a new mail account but it then asks for an email and password so that doesn't help. I really didn't think it would be a hassle!
    Thanks,
    W

    You first need to set up a new User Name and Password with your Internet Service Provider (ISP); that is, whoever provides you with Internet access, such as Comcast, AT&T, etc in the US.  Alternately you can go on the Internet and set up a new email Account with a new User Name and Password with a public company such as Google's "Gmail" or Microsoft's "Hotmail".  Once you have set up your new Account with them, THEN you enter that information into Apple's "Mail" for it to send and receive emails for your new outside Account.
    Hope this helps

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Other options not covered in the article:
    1) You can plug both in under the same computer username and same iTunes Apple ID and give each device it's own name. You should be able to manage them as separate devices with different media, apps and screen layouts. All of your media would be in a common pool, though.
    2) Under one computer username, you can login and logout of two different iTunes Apple IDs. This option is cleaner with two computer usernames but it can be done with one.
