How would you use these Apple devices to create the best network?

I have the following devices and want to create the best network for my 3 story home:
Time Capsule 3GB, latest generation (needs to be located on middle floor in a corner room by the Comcast modem)
Time Capsule late 2009
Airport Express 2010
More data, the devices that connect to this network:
New MacBook pro (in same room with new Time Capsule)
New iMac (in same room with Time Capsule)
2009 iMac (on second floor)
Iphone 5 and 5s
ipad Minis
ipad Airs
Apple TV second generation
I've done some testing and the signal is pretty good on the second floor (meaning that the download speeds on the second floor iMac are the same as those in the same room with the new Time Capsule). But the upstairs bedrooms have speeds cut by 50%.
There is no reasonable way to connect the new Time Capsule by ethernet to any other devices.
Would it be helpful to extend the wireless network "wirelessly" with the old Time Capsule in an area upstairs with strong signal? Would the old TC then "re-pump" the signal into the bedrooms which don't have line of sight with the new TC?
How would I best do this?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Time Capsule 3GB, latest generation (needs to be located on middle floor in a corner room by the Comcast modem)
Time Capsule late 2009
Airport Express 2010
So, the old Time Capsule and AirPort Express are near the new Time Capsule and connected to it with an Ethernet cable.....or are the old Time Capsule and Express not even in use at all?
Would it be helpful to extend the wireless network "wirelessly" with the old Time Capsule in an area upstairs with strong signal?
While it would be better if you could connect the old Time Capsule to the new Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection, the old Time Capsule might help things out a bit in the bedroom area if it is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the new Time Capsule.
This is one of those situations where performance cannot be predicted and you simply have to try it out in your home to see how well it will work. It could not hurt to use the old TC to extend the signal wirelessly to the bedroom area, if you want to give that a try.
You did not mention the AirPort Express, but it could possibly be located downstairs if you need more wireless signal coverage in a given area. The trick again, is to find a location where the Express can both receive a strong wireless signal and also provide additional wireless coverage.
Setting up the old Time Capsule or Express will only take a few minutes if you want to give things a try. Post back if you need more details on "how" to do this.

How would YOU retype these old XM08 types for use in an ABAP OO method?

The XM08 function group has the following type declarations:
TYPES: BEGIN OF mmcr_drseg_co.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE cobl_mrm_d.
TYPES: cr LIKE drseg_cr    OCCURS 0,
       unpl_refwr TYPE refwr,
       END OF mmcr_drseg_co.
TYPES: mmcr_tdrseg TYPE mmcr_drseg OCCURS 0,
TYPES: BEGIN OF mmcr_drseg.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE drseg.
TYPES: cr LIKE drseg_cr OCCURS 0,
       co TYPE mmcr_drseg_co OCCURS 0,
       sm LIKE drseg_sm OCCURS 0,
       charact TYPE rbcharact_instance OCCURS 3,
                                       "instances of characteristics
       uebgmat TYPE matnr,
       uebrblgp TYPE rblgp,
       selkz_db TYPE selkz,
       rblgp_old TYPE rblgp,           "rblgp before aggregation
       END OF mmcr_drseg.
How would YOU redeclare these types so that they work in an ABAP Objects class?
Some of the "fixes" are easy, like replacing "LIKE" with "TYPE:".
But what about the "INCLUDE STRUCTURE" and the "occurs 0" specifications?
The reason I'm asking this is that I have to call a method from ZXM08U16 and I'd like to be able to pass this method exactly what XXM08U16 gets from SAP, i.e. the table E_TDRSEG of type MMCR_TDRSEG

David,
I wonder it can be directly in ABAP (I would like to hear opinions from others as well!), I needed to use Data Dictionary as well:
TYPES: BEGIN OF mmcr_drseg_co.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE cobl_mrm_d.
TYPES: cr TYPE z_tt_drseg_cr,
       unpl_refwr TYPE refwr,
       END OF mmcr_drseg_co.
z_tt_drseg_cr is a table type created in SE11, based on structure drseg_cr.
the way to create internal table and work area, based on the above:
DATA : gt_... TYPE TABLE OF mmcr_drseg_co.
DATA : gw_... TYPE mmcr_drseg_co.
hope this helps some
ec
UPDATE : Rich is right, it is possible to do it only in ABAP with the DEFAULT KEY addition.

HT4847 If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, is there an amount of storage made per device available free? So that you are rewarded for the additional devices?

If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, is there an amount of storage made per device available free? So that you are rewarded for the additional devices?
If this multi purchase if devices is not rewarded with a larger cloud storage being available, would it then be best to have several separate cloud accounts?
Would you lose the ability to mesh data between devices??? Of could you choose to share a smaller part of the data and yet save the rest of the device data to their own cloud? So in other words, split a devices stored data between 2 different icloud accounts? One community iCloud account for partial data and individual account for data that does not need to be shared with the other devices, however it needs to be backed up. The simpler solutions would be If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, an amount of storage made available per device (ie: 5 units of storage free per device)
~ So that you are rewarded for the additional Apple devices by giving 5 more units of storage or backup space per device

Nobody here is an Apple employee, and my Christmas Season has been great, thanks very much. Neither am I jealous, I just abhor the fact that so many people these days expect more and more for free, in addition to what they already get for free. First world problems...
Obviously Apple do consider people with multiple devices, since the whole purpose of the service is to keep data in sync across multiple devices. Clearly, after consideration, Apple decided to give 5GB of storage for free and provide customers with the option to buy more storage if they want/need more, in line with competing services.
Everyone has their own set of unique circumstances but does that mean everyone should be rewarded with extras for free? At what point should it be considered acceptable to actually pay for additional extras you want?
And by the way, somebody expressing a different opinion, and discussing people's expectations is not being rude. Aren't you from the country that supposedly takes 'freedom of speech' rather seriously?

Does VUDU come on Apple TV? If not, how do you recommend that Apple at it to the iTunes Store?

IS VUDU available on Apple TV?
If not, how do you recommend that Apple add it to the iTunes Store?

It is not listed in Apple's list of Apple TV apps…
https://www.apple.com/appletv/whats-on/
You would need to do something to an Apple TV that will get this post deleted, see if you can guess what that is.
You could just buy a device that actually supports the services you need…
https://www.roku.com - it is a channel that can be added to a Roku.
http://www.vudu.com/setup_roku.html
Other media boxes also support Vudu (Chromecast, Xbox, Playstation, Android, WDTV… basically everyone who isn't Apple).
If you think Apple will add Vudu as an Apple TV channel ask them via the feedback form. Just bear in mind that Vudu directly competes with iTunes video sales & rentals.

How do i use my apple express speakers as the sound from apple tv?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't with the Apple TV 2 or 3, with the Apple TV 1, you can choose them from the Airtunes option in the settings menu.

How would you use Aperture 3 Labels & Flags in your workflow?

Now that A3 has the ability to use Labels & Flags, I'm trying to incorporate their use into my workflow but am struggling to find the most effective way.
I've used the star rating for selections & refining the selections. In A2 I used keywords on images to indicate actions on the images, however I never thought this was an elegant solution because unless I forget to remove them they stay with the images as I export them. Fundamentally though I think of Keywords as attributes of the image, so using keywords to describe actions was always strange.
One thing I liked with this workflow though was I could place multiple "actions" on an image since there can be any number of keywords. In A3 you can only assign one labe at a time. So this made me think of how I'd use Labels.
So thus my question: how would you incorporate labels & flags into your existing workflows consisting of star ratings & keywords?

I've wanted flags for a long time just to be able to mark where I left off on a project. My inelegant solution has been to give a terrible picture 5 stars. Other uses are to quickly get back to certain images.
I don't yet know how exactly I'll use labels or what other uses I'll have for flags, but I'm happy to have the added versatility. Between flags and labels, I have 8 new ways to mark and filter images. (10 if you count no flag and no label.) Sure one can do a lot with stars, stacks and keywords, but now one can do more.

TS3510 how do you use your apple ID email with facetime on your laptop and your iphone?

I am trying to set up my Facetime on my laptop and it's telling me that my email is already being used (from my iphone facetime). Can you use your Apple ID email AND iphone accounts in for both FaceTimes?

That's normal. Just enter your password. You won't be able to change the Apple ID that appears there. After you sign out, and sign in with the new Apple ID, it will take the place of the old one.
If you changed your Apple ID password, enter the new password.
There are many iCloud services, and you might be confronted with the old Apple ID as you use them. You might have to sign out of each one individually, and sign in under your revised Apple ID.
I agree it's confusing. It's even more confusing if you created more than one Apple ID. That's a different circumstance from changing an Apple ID. I hope you didn't do that.

How do you use one apple id for iPad and iphone

We have an iPad, four iphone 3gs and a new iphone4. We use one apple Id for each with iCloud. Do we need a new apple Id for the 4gs? Also how do we share the iPad between the iPhones for music & apps. Thanks.

How do you use your Apple mini- DVI to DVI cord?

Hi. I just went to an apple shop yesterday to get an Apple Mini-DVI to DVI to hook my 17 inch iMac to a 20 inch external display(Samsung SyncMaster 204B) and was surprised by the length of the cord. How can you connect the two displays with such a short cord? Am I missing something? I could use it if I put my second display right in front of my iMac as opposed to putting them side by side... I read some posts and noticed that some of you are using the cord so just wondering how you do it...

Thank you for your reply. I had a look at the cable you are using but they are much longer than the DVI to DVI cable…I want to hook my iMac to an external display, not a TV though…
I hook mine to a DVI-HDMI cable to plug into my HDTV.
You probably just need a standard DVI cable if your
TV has a DVI input. The "cord" is mainly just an
adapter.

But i am unsure of how to use them. Do I place the files in a folder somewhere?
Thanks in Advance

But i am unsure of how to use them. Do I place the
files in a folder somewhere? Where else would you keep them? :)
Wherever you decide to put them, you need to put the path of each of the zip files into your classpath. Once the classpath points to the zip files, you should be able to import all the files in them without any problems.

How do you tweet between apple devices

My daughter says there's a separate tweet thing which lets you tweet free between apple devices.
I can't find it

It sound like you are refering to "iMessage," which is a iOS exclusive messaging service: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529

How do you get your webcam device name from the JMF registry?

Ya, I don't know where the JMF registry is.....is there a list somewhere in the API? Is it somewhere in the Windows registry files after installing JMF? I keep hearing you need to do this when creating a webcam application but never seen it explained anywhere.

The registry is a file located in the lib directory under the installation of Java Media Framework, called jmf.properties.
You can edit it with the jmfregistry application provided with JMF, or using the proper classes such as the CaptureDeviceManager.

How would you tell if there was damage on the inside?

I was just wondering, would there be any signs that if you dropped it, something was broken on the inside? Or is there nothing to really break on the inside?

The symptom is that it does not work right

Is pages the best app for creating wedding programs, or would you reccomend something free or cheaper?

As the question is asked three times, I guess that you wish to marry three times.
From my point of view, the best app to do this or that is the one with which we are comfortable.

Two Users on a Mac in Mavericks...how do you use 2 apple ID's and not get blocked?

After upgrading to Mavericks, we started getting a message "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. If you download past purchases with your apple ID, you cannot auto-download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days" message.
My husband and I have separate iPhones and iPads. We share an iMac, but we have separate logins. After this upgrade, one of us is always locked out of downloading purchases we made on our devices to the shared iMac.
If this creates a problem for us, surely it creates a problem for bigger families sharing one computer too? Anybody have an idea on a work-around?
We never had any problem with using 2 accounts on this machine for the past 2 years until Mavericks.

hmm, that's a trick one! what I would do is go to Messages>preferences>accounts and then select imessages and then select account details and then sign out. Then your wife will need to sign in with her apple id.
hope this helps!!
let me know if that works because I've never actually tried it.
simply adding both of your accounts to be reached at will prove to be faulty because when you reply you can only reply with the one email address. And even if you switch caller id's it probably still won't work. So I think my method would be the easiest way to do that at this time.
