How to connect A extreme to A express in WDS so i can use A express as LAN port with RJ 45. A express is old and does allow WDS, but A extreme is n technology and doesnt allow wds anywhere in configuration. do i hvae to buy a new A extreme or new A expr

I have an airport extreme 4th generation (n) and airport express i think model 1084, which is not n technology. I want to connect the express to extreme base station wirelessly and then use the port on express to connect a non wireless PC or TV to the internet. I do not want to run a wire from base station to the computer and wanna use express's ethernet port as LAN port. I understand this can be done in wds mode, but my extreme (n) does not allow anywhere to set up a wds under the airport utility.
do i need to buy a new express or a new extreme? If i buy a new extreme can i connect the new extreme to old extreme base station without a wire and then use the LAN ports on the new extreme to connect to a computer or tv using rj45.
thanks

but my extreme (n) does not allow anywhere to set up a wds under the airport utility.
Suggest that you download and install the more functional and useful AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion , which can be used to administer both the older "g" and newer "n" devices.
Open AirPort Utility 5.6
Select the AirPort that you want to administer
Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the Wireless Mode selection box and the WDS setting will appear so that you can make further adjustments as needed.

How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal?

How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal? What equipment & devices do I need to travel with to make this possible?

You may mean the AirPort Express.....not AirPort Extreme.....as the Express is a popular travel router.
The whole idea behind using this device is that the hotel must provide an Ethernet jack in the hotel room. Then you connect the AirPort Express to the Ethernet jack with an Ethernet cable and configure it to provide your own wireless network in the room. You still have to agree to terms, pay the fees, etc.
The problem with this approach is that it is getting very difficult to find hotels in North America that prrovide an Ethernet jack....most have moved to wireless networks and the others are not far behind.
So, if the hotel is already providing a wireless signal, the AirPort Express is of no use in that situation.
If you normally stay at the same hotels, and know that they provide Ethernet ports, an AirPort Express might make sense in terms of convenience.

The backup does not include synced media like apps and music. You can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you used PhotoStream get them from your stream. See:

HT4913 how to remove this ? You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 85 days.

If a computer has been associated with a device (as well as iTunes Matct, it can become associated via automatic downloads or re-downloading past purchases) then you will either need to wait until the 90 days have completed : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
Or you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

What iMac do you have, running what version of OS X?
Your question is unclear - what do you mean by 'a signature on your iMac'?

Hello pscorning1,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you have already changed the information associated with your current Apple ID (*not* created an entirely new Apple ID), you may find the following article about updating the various Apple ID services helpful:

I am having the identical trouble as described above with my month old Macbook Air. I tried everything with the ditto results. Please help anyone!
Mine is a Macbook Air 13', 128GB, 1.86GHz with 4 GB RAM.

I need to work on documents in both my iMac and air book. But I have to download document and them upload it, and when I upload it I can't open it unless I open it on my phone first. Yet changes made on phone appear straight away. Does this make sense????

On your Macs open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Documents & Data, then reselect that box then restart your Macs.
On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Documents & Data off then back on then reset the iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
See if you can open the files now without opening on the iPhone first.

If you have a verified rescue email then you can get an email sent to that email address to reset the security questions as shown in the article below:

If you do not have access to the rescue email or you do not receive the reset email then you will need to contact AppleCare for assistance:

Take it to an Apple Store, you can't do anything yourself.

Just got my I phone, I used it an after a while the screen went black. I put it on the charger but nothing is on the screen and no lights on. Is my Iphone okay?

Have you tried resetting your iPhone, press and hold the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignoring the red slider, then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing this.

Installed Parental Controls on MBP 10.7.5. Now it's unusable (exc admin's acct). Constant message pops up- "You don't have permission to use (whatev) app." U can click: ok, always allow, allow once, but no matter what, message continues and u can't work

Hi,
I installed Parental Controls on our MacBookPro 10.7.5. Now it's unusable (except for my admin's acct). Constant messages keep popping up that say "You don't have permission to use (whatever) application." You have the option to click: ok, always allow, or allow once, but no matter what you select, the messages keep popping up and prevent you from working. I have searched these forums, and all I have found is that you are supposed to uninstall the application (Spotify, dashboard, etc). Deinstalling every app is not a solution.
If the parental controls just don't work - and frankly I'm tired of wasting all this time trying to fix the bugs - can someone recommend a program that will restrict certain user accounts to any websites I haven't specified?
Thanks for any help or advice.

Thanks Bob for that very fast reply!
But neither "Modifying hal configuration" nor "Using the Desktop Environment settings" (xfce) worked. So I tried the "I don't want this crap, how do I turn it off?" solution and well it works
Maybe I turn it back on in a month or so.. but for now i'm fine with no hot plugging but a working keyboard...
Thanks and Bye!
