Can I use an AirPort Extreme Base Station "n"
Yes.
and if so, will my MacBook work with this at maximum download / upload speed (i.e. equivalent to the cable)
The speed of your internal network generally is much much faster than the speed of your internet connection. Unless he has an internet connection faster than approx 6Mbps then even dropping down to the old 802.11b Airport would not seen any decrease in speed of downloads etc...
and will my brother's PC's also be able to connect?
If his PC is 802.11b/g-compliant, it shouldn't have any problems connecting to the AirPort base station.
Or is there another Airport base station?
The other AirPorts would work, but the AirPort Express & older 802.11g AirPort Extreme base stations have a max. range of 150 feet.
OR-- should I head down to "Generic Computer Store" and just by a wireless router (WiFi)(think that's what they call them) and connect this to his cable modem? IF SO WILL THAT WORK FOR MY MAC?
That is always an option as well, especially since he will be the primary user throughout the year. I'd suggest going with a brand name, like Belkin, D-Link, or Linksys for the wireless router choice.

  • Firefox on OS X 10.6.8: How to have a different input source for different tabs in one window (the option "Allow a different one for each document" is on)

    Currently, firefox 29 keeps one language for different tabs in one window. Different windows can have different input sources...

    Thank you for your reply!
    I think I've accidentally marked the problem as solved, but in fact it's not.
    What is needed is that the firefox remember different input methods (languages, for instance, En or Fr) for different tabs so that when I switch between several tabs I don't need to change the layout.
    Chrome remembers my language settings for each tab, so it's not always one language for all the same tabs there. I haven't found such an option in Firefox so far.
    Hope it's clear enough.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How come a USB will work with both Mac and Windows (as in that there are already files from Windows and Mac can still read and write onto it) but a external Hard Drive won't (as in there are files from Windows on there but Mac can read but not write)?

    I have a Seagate Drive that I'm hoping to copy some movies from my Mac onto (because it only has a 512 SSD and I'd rather keep that empty and handy for more readily needed files) but it won't work. It shows up as a drive when connected (with the orange USB drive icon popping up) and is appropirately labeled "FreeAgent Drive", but when I try to copy files onto it it won't work. There are already windows files on there, such as some windows backups and lot's and lot's of pictures and videos. However, I have several USBs which already have windows files on them (namely movies, music, and other stuff) and copying and stuff works fine. Why won't it work with this hard drive and would work with USBs? Please help me out here guys, I am not experienced with Hard disks and formatting and stuff like that. 10 points for whoever helps me out the most. Thanks.

    We will need to reformat your EXT, but it will then work on both Mac and Win
    Connect the drive to your Mac, open disk utility
    Go to the partiton tab and select '1' ... format should be ExFAT ... in options select MBR
    Format the drive
    It should now work on both OSs; report back

  • How to set-up a wireless system for Mac and Windows?

    In a few weeks I will visit my brother in Tennessee, USA who has a cable modem (very good speed - "Comcast") connected to one desktop PC (Windows XP I believe).
    I want to spend 2-3 weeks at his home using my MacBook core duo (May 2006 version) via wireless-- and what is the BEST way to install a wireless internet access for my brother that I can use for the 3 week visit? NOTE: After I leave, this has to work for him wireless with his PC's - not Macintoshes. But I want to have the flexibility to be in several rooms of his long (but single story) home during my stay.

  • Version 22 file input box missing, Mac AND Windows.

    Since upgrading to version 22 of Firefox in Mac AND Windows the text entry box for selecting files to upload has disappeared, and Firefox no longer shows the full path of the uploaded file...this is within Zencart, and again this happens in both the Mac and Windows versions of Firefox22. See the image at:

    hello mikefellh, this has been an intentional change that has landed in firefox 22. for details see the meta [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=838675 bug #838675] (please don't post in bug reports).

  • How to restore the languages in the input sources under 'Language and Text'

    Dear all,
    Recently, I am trying to free up my disk space on my macbook and I downloaded this software call Monolingual. Basically, it removes languages that you do not use to free up the disk space.
    However, I accidentally remove the language that I use which is Japanese and now it seems like I cannot find it anywhere under the input sources of language and text.
    Does anybody know how I can restore everything back to normal?
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Alfred

    I think you will have to reinstall your OS.    If you are running Yosemite, see
    OS X Yosemite: Reinstall OS X
    Best to avoid Monolingual and simlar "cleaning" utilties if possible, it is too easy to make mistakes that destroy parts of you system.
    Your problem has nothing to do with your hardware, so in the futue it would be best to use the software forums for similar questions:

  • Keyboard input source change not being saved.

    Since upgrading to 10.9 my original French spec Mac Mini reverts to French Keyboard input source when I close down, even after resetting keyboard input source to British PC on the login screen when booting up. Is there a more permanent setting option stored elsewhere?

    Hi Brendan,
    Thanks for the link. I did go into system preferences and checked that British was the default setting. In fact it was the only setting. Have subsequently done a bit more research. Up to now I have been changing input source at the initial login screen from French to British. I have just typed my username and password in using a French keyboard layout without changing the input source from French. It gets me in and the default input source is showing as British, which it is picking up from the system preferences. So there must be a setting somewhere that is specific to the login screen.
    Done some more searching online and it looks like it may be a bug!

    There seem to be a few workarounds https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5485931
    However, I have not worked at this level on a Mac before having a background in Windows support, Only recently getting a Mac. The last comment looks like some kind of Unix stuff, which I know OSX is based on.  Is there an idiots step by step guide anywhere to carry out the plist edit etc?

  • Keyboard input source "randomly" changing???

    Keyboard input source “randomly” changing???
    Hi: I’m trying to learn the Dvorak keyboard as a touch typer, so I change my input source from “US” which is hunt and peck to “Dvorak”. But, weirdly (at least to me), I will have changed from one input source to the other, and yet 15’ later in a different program the input source is still on the other.
    Is there some kind of auto sensing feature where the input source defaults to whatever was used with that document the last time or something like that? If so, is there a way to disable this feature so that what keyboard layout one chooses as an input source always stays that way until manually changed? Or is there another explanation for this behaviour?
    Thank you very much!!!

    In System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Input Sources is the option "Automatically Switch To A Document’s Input Source" selected perhaps?
    Alternatively, in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts under Input Sources a shortcut for switching the input source might be selected. Perhaps you inadvertedly type that key combination sometimes.

    Before upgrade from Maverick to Yosemite my US key board matched the diagram shown in Input Sources in Key Board Viewer.  Now it has symbols in different locations that do not match my keyboard.

    Check System Preferences/Keyboard/Input Sources to make sure that is set correctly. If so, would you post a screen shot so people can see what you are seeing?

  • I have to step-input an existing score and tried it with the step-input-window in combination with midi-input from an usb-keyboard.

    I have to step-input an existing score and tried it with the step-input-window in combination with midi-input from an usb-keyboard.

    Tsk tsk, Nigel, don't you see: this is a story - with a cliffhanger... he said he tried... but he never clarifies if he succeeded or not... but still, he has to do it. It's stronger than him, bigger than him, there's no escaping the step-input and midi-input via usb-keyboard scoring... it's fate I tell you! Fate!

  • Can I have an external video source run in a window instead of using the full display?

    I'm aware that the 27" iMac models are capable of accepting external video sources, but I'm wondering if it's possible to have an external video source run in a window on the desktop, rather then use the full display. Does anyone know if there's any software I can download to allow this, or will I have to purchase a special capture device?

    hat I DON'T WANT TO OPEN the window application FROM the Labview VI BUT IN the Labview VI. I think it's possible to do that and to do communicate the OpenGL application with the Labview Interface using an ActiveX but I don't know how. Can someone help me ?The desired behavior you desribed may not be possible with that application. In general LabVIEW does not offer a window object that other standalone applications can run it. The closest thing is the ActiveX container. If the programmers for your application created an activeX control of your program and they provided documentation, it should be pretty easy to incorperate the app and labview into one window. I recommend contacting the manufacuturer of the app to see if they have an activeX control version of the app.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I have one apple ID for my MAC and another used for both my iPhone and IPad.  Purchases from iTunes don't appear on either my iPhone or iPad only only the MAC. How do I sync the two IDs?

    I have one Apple ID for my MAC and iTunes account and another that is used for both my iTunes and iPad.  When I purchased music from iTunes using the Mac ID, the music isn't available on my iTunes or iPad.  Neither lets me change my ID so how do I fix this issue so I can play the music on all three?

    Hello chlanli
    You would need to use one Apple ID for purchases in order to get them across all of your devices and computer. If you want you can use one Apple ID for purchases and the other one to sync personal data. The article below will explain further.
