How to set WPA and WPA2 security with multiple AEs

Hi Everybody,
I have purchased a second AE and with the help of Alan Summers was able to set them all up for multiple speakers use in iTunes. In order to make them run I had to downgrade security settings to 40-bit WEP which is not really satisfying. My Airport Admin. Utility was still 4.0, so I tried 4.2 which offers the use of WPA and WPA2 with multiple AEs. Upgraded to 4.2 and switched off security settings first. Both AE are recogniced and speakers of second AE also show up in iTunes but I cannot connect to them. Since it didn't work without security settings, I didn't even try with it and went back using 4.0. All other firmware is up-to-date:
AirPort Express 6.3
iTunes 6.0.2
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection 9.0.3.0
Any advice would deeply be appreciated!
BTW - if it works, it's maybe the greatest sound experience I ever had. Music all over the place!!
Best regards
Roman

Found it!!
1) upgrade Airport Admin. Utility to 4.2
2) set second AE as "remote base station" and not in "client mode" (that's the clue!!)
3) follow instructions and type in MAC address of main base station
4) choose a channel (doesn't matter which one, just has to be the same on both AEs)
5) choose your personal WPA and WPA2 password (same on both AEs)
6) restart both AEs
7) enjoy the music all over the place!
Best regards

How to set up One iTunes Library with Multiple Hard Drives

Hello,
I have a question about setting up a daisy chain of external storage hard drives for my itunes library and need some advice. I have run out of room on my 4TB external storage. I have an additional 4TB and a 2TB external storage (all are MyBooks) and trying to figure out how to separate out my itunes folder: I would like to put the TV on one 4TB and the Movies and the other 4TB and the Music/Apps/etc on the 2TB. Here are my questions
1.) How to I point my iTunes to where I have moved them? Just make and alias of the folder and put that back in the original folder?
2.) How do I get the new iTunes downloads to go the correct folder to download so it does not set up a new library for downloading? Can I set more that one location in my preference? If so- how?
I have looked in the forums and all the information is older and does not address this exact issue.
Set up:
Mac mini hooked up to Vizio TV running Lion 10.7.2
      Processor 2.26 GHZ Intel Core Duo 2
     Memory 4GB ( do not really store anything on this one)
MY Books
     1 2TB   Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
     2 4TB   Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
     1 1TB   Mac OS Extended (Journaled)- this is for documents, etc
All these are daisy chain with 800 Firewire to the Macmini and hooked to TV with HDMI.
Any suggestions would be helpful. I can not download anything else from iTunes until I get this resolved and it is a real bummer.

suggests using contacts groups.
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
You can set up groups in the Address Book application.
If you are all going to use the same iTunes apps library, turn off "Automatically sync new apps" in the apps tab just below the list of apps. Then you won't get new apps on your device unless you select them.

How to set the PATH Environment variable with multiple homes?

I have several Oracle homes, and now I cannot get reports to work anymore. These are the things I installed, in this order:
- Oracle Database 10g
- Oracle Developer Suite 10g
- Oracle Discoverer 4
- Oracle HTMLDB
Now my PATH environment variable is flooded with paths, but none seem to work when I want to start Reports 10g. I deleted all of the paths from the other homes and still no luck.
This was my original PATH:
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\jre\1.4.2\bin\client;
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\jre\1.4.2\bin;
C:\oradev10g\jdk\jre\bin\classic;
C:\oradev10g\jdk\jre\bin;
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\compdb_1\jre\1.4.2\bin;
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\compdb_1\bin;
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\compdb_1\jre\1.1.8\bin;
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\compdb_1\jre\1.4.2\bin\client;
C:\Disco41Home\bin;C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\bin;
C:\oradev10g\jdk\jre\bin\client;C:\oradev10g\jlib;

%SystemRoot%;
%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files;
%SystemDrive%\IBMTOOLS\Python22;
C:\Program Files\PC-Doctor for Windows\services
and this is the PATH after I stripped it:
C:\oradev10g\jdk\jre\bin\classic;
C:\oradev10g\jdk\jre\bin;
C:\oradev10g\jdk\jre\bin\client;
C:\oradev10g\jre\1.1.8\bin;
C:\oradev10g\jlib;
C:\oradev10g\bin;
C:\PROGRAM FILES\THINKPAD\UTILITIES;
%SystemRoot%\system32;
%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files;
%SystemDrive%\IBMTOOLS\Python22;
C:\Program Files\PC-Doctor for Windows\services
What am I supposed to change to get Reports to work again (i.e. do more than just show the splash screen)?

I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

What's the security difference between WPA and WPA2 Personal?

In order to get my G4 iMac (OS 10.4.11) onto my new AEBS(b/g/n) wi-fi network, I had to drop the network security down from WPA2 Personal to WPA/WPA2 Personal.
What are the potential security risks in this mode? I know that WEP is no longer secure, so I'm concerned about WPA also being vulnerable.
If there's a good online explanation of these security differences (not necessarily Apple-only), you just give me that link.
Thanks

Hi,
Summary:
1.WPA2 is the improved version of WPA
2.WPA only supports TKIP encryption while WPA2 supports AES
3.Theoretically, WPA2 is not hackable while WPA is
4.WPA2 requires more processing power than WPA

Difference between WEP, WPA, and WPA2 and better suggestion to use for shared family users

What is the difference between WEP, WPA, and WPA2? My router is set up on my family PC and connected to a modem so I access Wi-fi through my laptop and my sister has a laptop too and uses our family network to get internet. I just set up a WPA today, so will we all be able to get internet (along with my family using the pc, and my sis on her laptop, even at the same time) protected? (like nobody else using our network)

Wired Equivalent Privacy, commonly called WEP is 802.11's first hardware form of security where both the WAP and the user are configured with an encryption key of either 64 bits or 128 bits in HEX. So when the user attempts to authenticate, the AP issues a random challenge. The user then returns the challenge, encrypted with the key. The AP decrypts this challenge and if it matches the original the client is authenticated. The problem with WEP is that the key is static, which means with a little time and the right tool a hacker could use reverse-engineering to derive the encryption key. It is important to note that this process does affect the transmission speed.
WPA builds upon WEP, making it more secure by adding extra security algorithms and mechanisms to fight intrusion.
WiFi Protected Access (WPA) is the new security standard adopted by the WiFi Alliance consortium. WiFi compliance ensures interoperability between different manufacturer’s equipment.WPA delivers a level of security way beyond anything that WEP can offer, bridges the gap between WEP and 802.11i networks, and has the advantage that the firmware in older equipment may be upgradeable.
WPA2 is based upon the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ (IEEE) 802.11i amendment to the 802.11 standard, which was ratified on July 29, 2004. The primary difference between WPA and WPA2 is that WPA2 uses a more advanced encryption technique called AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), allowing for compliance with FIPS140-2 government security requirements.

Photosmart 2710 and WPA2 security question

I just bought a new router that uses WPA or WPA2 security. All of my devices run much faster using the WPA2, but the Photomart 2710 printer dosen't seem to be able to work with WPA2. Is there any way to upgrade the printer softare to use WPA2. I use the wireless printing with my laptop much more than the desktop with a cable connection to the printer. Going back to WPA security is not really an option because of the slower speed. I'm afraid the answer is going to be no, but I have to check. Thanks for any answers.

Wow it appears you are correct that this printer does not support WPA2-AES encryption. Must be an older printer. However since this has an Ethernet connection you can use the following to upgrade the wireless to use WPA2-AES.
Connect wireless printer anywhere, convert from wired, bypass failed radio, add WPA2 security.

Satellite M30-107: WPA and WEP security software

I wish to connect my Satellite M30-107 P-M 745 to an up-to-date MIMO G+ wifi network.
I have bought a router and PCMCIA adapter card.
I wish to set-up WPA and WEP security - do I need any special Toshiba software on the PC itself to do this, or do I just use the software that came with the Router and adapter card?
Thanks

Hi
First of all you cannot both Wlan encryption WPA and WEP together.
You can use either WPA or WEP. I would recommend using WPA because its safer.
I agree with Barrie. If you want to use one of this encryption you should be sure that the WLan card and the router support this features.
In my knowledge most of the newer Wlan routers supports WEP and WPA. In this case you have only check the WLan card if the option is available or not.
By the way: You don't need any special software to set the encryptions.
You can set the encryptions also in the Windows own WLan configuration area.

How to set-up and use FAMILY Sharing

Can someone please explain to me in detail how to set-up and use FAMILY Sharing, none of the information I have so far found in the documentation helps at all, in fact it puts you in a constant loop giving the same information over and over again
We have quite a few devices from ipads, iphones and ipods and I need to set-up Family Sharing.
We have our main Apple ID which is linked to our Payment method, I have now got my son a new iPad, I have created his Apple ID and set-up a link via FAMILY Sharing to our main Apple ID.
From what I read we should be able to share our purchased Apps between family members.
So I figured I would be able to get the Apps now via iTunes that are part of the FAMILY Sharing, however when I go into ITunes (latest version downloaded yesterday) I can only see the Home sharing menu item not FAMILY Sharing, so I cannot work out in Itunes how to get Apps that are FAMILY shared. So ok I will try and get Apps directly via the Ipad using the App Store. To test it is working I look for a known paid for App, I then go to download it and it is now asking me to pay for it again.
Can someone please explain to me in detail how FAMILY Sharing is supposed to work and how I get it to work please.
Thanks for your help
Greg

Hey GregWr,
Thanks for the question. The following resources provides some of the best information regarding Family Sharing. Included, you’ll find information on making sure the accounts are set to "Share my purchases”, as well as information on downloading Family Member purchases from the iTunes Purchased section. Please note that some applications are not shareable.

How to set up iOS calendar app with shared Google Calendar data

At work (in our small office) I've been given access to the shared Google Calendar that has our work schedule. It was set up using this page (click on Share an existing calendar):
https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37082
The question I have is how to set it up to work with iOS calendar app on my iPhone?

"currently there is no shared group calendar support."
Well, not really. You hinted at it with: "set up a group wiki."
Go into Workgroup Manager and set up an Open Directory group. Add people to it.
Each client must then go into iCal --> Preferences --> Accounts and add an account. The name and password entered must be the same as that added to the group, Kerberos must be unchecked, and the account URL will be like (fill in the blanks properly):
http://<your domain name here>:8008/principals/groups/<your group name here>/
Now each properly logged in user of that group can make changes to the shared group calendar, without any "hacks" like making dummy users and delegation.
However, I am getting a notifier: "Request Error: Accesss to <event name> in <your group name here> in account <your group name here> is not permitted." But that seems to be a lie, since multiple members of the group can make changes and others can see the changes.
Oh yea, make sure you have a functioning DNS with valid reverse lookup.
