How to get Airport Extreme to Provide DNS for Static DHCP

I set up some static DHCP entries on my Airport Extreme 802.11n. How do I make it provide DNS resolution for these devices?
For example, I defined a device which I named "tvpc". With my old router, once I added a static DHCP reservation and provided it with a name, I could "ping tvpc" from any device on my network, and my old router would provide the DNS resolution, because it provided DNS service for all DHCP entries.
I suspect that the answer is, "Apple routers don't do this." If that is the case, how do other people get name resolution for the non-Apple devices you set up with static DHCP? Do you use /etc/hosts files?

"Apple routers don't do this."

They don't.
Suggest that you use another router with the capabilities that you need.

How to configure airport extreme to work with Actiontec gt701d modem

I have been trying to set up a new Actiontec modem to work with a new Airport Extreme with no luck. I don't know what the right settings are to get it to work correctly. So far the only way I have been able to get the two to work together is to have the AE connect with ethernet and bridge mode. However with this configuration I can't setup a guest network which I would like to be able to do. I have read some past posts and have tried other configurations but end up either losing internet connection or getting a very slow connection. If anyone has some idea how to get this modem to work with the AE i would really appreciate some advice
Thank you

Welcome to the discussion area, Meagan!
The Actiontec "modem" that you mention is really a gateway...a combination modem/router, so with this device and the AirPort Extreme, you have two routers on the network.
Whenever you have two routers on a network, the first router must be configured to handle the main routing chores and any other routers must be configured in Bridge Mode to function correctly. So, Bridge Mode is the correct setting for the AirPort Extreme when used with the Actiontec gt701d gateway.
In order for the AirPort Extreme to provide a Guest Network, it must be configured as the "main" router on a network. This won't be possible unless you can re-configure the Actiontec device to act as a simple modem, not a router. You might want to check with Actiontec support to see whether this might be possible.

Doublechecking before proceeding ... are you getting a message saying that "the Bonjour Service can't be started" when you try to install iTunes? Or is something different going on?

How to configure Airport Extreme to work with Spotify

Issue: Spotify no longer syncs Spotify files to my iMac or my iPhone despite me being a premium member. I've never had an issue with this until this past week. I can't see anything that has changed but I must be missing something. Anyhow...I'm posting this here because I need assistance with my Airport Extreme configuration (not Spotify).
According to Spotify, I am to configure my (Airport Extreme, latest gen) router to allow the following:
The following IP ranges should be open on port 4070:
78.31.8.0/21
193.182.8.0/21
The number 21 is the prefix length.
I've assigned the static IP to my iMac and my iPhone. I've also forwarded port 4070 (Public & Private UDP and TCP) to my iMac's static IP. I also tried it on my iPhone. What I don't know about is how to open the IP Range on that port as stated above.
Any idea where this can be done? Thanks!

I can't get airport extreme to work with iPad

I can't get airport extreme to work with iPad

Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me. We have two distinctly different printing problems. Let's try tackling them one at a time if you don't mind.
In order for the iPad to print to a printer it would either have to be AirPrint-enabled or you would need another solution, like PrintCentral for iPad or Printopia. Unfortunately, I don't believe your Canon printer is AirPrint-enabled. There aren't many printers on the market that currently are. All of them, that I am aware of, are HP devices.
Now for the PC. I would go with what you have already suggested and that is try disabling either the Windows or third-party software firewall. Which version of Windows is it running? Just in case it's XP, here are two excellent iFelix articles on how to do so with or without using Bonjour.

How far does airport extremes range go

how far does airport extremes range go

Apple says up to 300 feet or so, but since tests like this are performed in a very large room with no walls, the specification won't mean much to most of us in the real world.
Bottom line is that it is not possible to make a good guess about distance capabilities in a home without knowing the number of walls and or ceilings the signal must pass through.
(A typicall wall of sheetrock and 2 by 4s will absorb on average about 15-20% of the signal and a ceiling absorbs more because it is thicker).
As a very rough guide...if the signal from the wireless router must pass through 4-5 walls, or a ceiling and 2-3 walls, then there won't be much of it left by the time it reaches a computer or other wireless device.

I just bought airport express as my router and it's located in the basement, when I got to my 3rd floor in my 2000 square feet home I don't get full signal on my apple device. Should I get airport extreme instead if airport express??

Should I change the express to extrem? Will it have more better signal and range compair to express? Or are they same?

Although the AirPort Extreme should provide a "better signal" due to a different antenna design, there is no guarantee that it will. Most likely the building material in the floors/ceilings between the basement Express and where you want to gain Internet access from it on the third floor may present too much Wi-Fi interference to allow it.
I would first try to see if you have your Express in the best possible position by making Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) measurements from a laptop at each location that you want to access the Internet. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for additional information.

How to get the file size (in bytes) for all files in a directory?

How to get the file size (in bytes) for all files in a directory?
The following code does not work. isFile() does NOT recognize files as files but only as directories. Why?
Furthermore the size is not retrieved correctly.
How do I have to code it otherwise? Is there a way of not converting f-to-string-to-File again but iterate over all file objects instead?
Thank you
Peter

To do that, select the code and click the CODE button seen on the Plain Text tab of the message posting form. It took me longer to clean up that code and turn it into an SSCCE, than it took to +solve the problem.+

How to get the elements out of a for loop simultaneously during the loop execution

Hi,
I am student. I would like to know how to get the counter values outside the For loop parallely while the loop runs rather that getting the finally value outside the For loop. Looking forward for answers.
Thanks,
Athira
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You could use a notifier (since it is a single value) or a reference (with a property node) to a control that gets the value elsewhere in another VI.
If it is within the same VI, you could use a property node (right click > create > property node > value) from the control within the same VI located outside the loop.
If you promiss NOT to abuse the use of Local Variables, you could use that to only write from ONE location within the For Loop to a control outside the loop, similar to the property node mentionned earlier. (Of course, I will be struct by lightening for mentionning that and scolded by other LabVIEW coders for having a change of heart on the use of Locals.... Shivers are already crawling up my spine).
You could use a queue, but that might be an overkill, unless: the count is generated faster than it is being read elsewhere...
As crossrulz mentionned, can you describe what you will be doing with the count? Because synchronizing data (fresh / stale / etc) is very important within LabVIEW as it executes based on dataflow rather than a sequential order.
Hope this helps.
EDIT:
You have not fully provided the answer. We figured that much of your code from your description, but what is reading the value of the count? Is it in a separate loop? If not, it may only deal with the first value, which is likely 0. The proper advice depends on how you process the received data (count).

But before trying to carry out the process as detailed in the above note, first check with other SIS reports like MCTA etc., and no reports are showing correctly, then you can proceed. Otherwise, you need to raise an OSS message with SAP.

Since I upgraded to os 5.1 for my iPhone I can no longer type in reminders. Any suggestions how to get around having to use siri for reminders?

since I upgraded to os 5.1 for my iPhone I can no longer type in reminders. Any suggestions how to get around having to use siri for reminders?

Unfortunately, I have a very similar problem. Since I upgraded to os 5.1 on my new iPhone 4S the reminders screen will not add new reminders or scroll up and down. What's more strange is the screen will still scroll side to side allowing access to the Completed list, and both the Completed list and Date functions work normally so this must be an upgrades glitch.

New document alert: How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS

Opening PDF Files in Reader for iOS (iPhone and iPad) has been very helpful to many users of Adobe Reader for iOS. However, Apple has drastically changed the user interface in iOS 7, which made the original document obsolete.
According to Apple Developer Support's App Store Distribution page, 89% of devices connected to the App Store are using iOS 7 during a 7‑day period ending June 29, 2014.
Because of the exceptionally high iOS 7 adoption rate, Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.3 now supports iOS 7 only.
Here are the new How-To documents for iOS 7.
How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)
How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)
(It had to be split into two separate documents because each contains way too many screenshots.)
Hope these documents are as helpful as the original one.
Please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions on the topics for other help documents/tutorials.

Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
Thanks,
Cam
