I have airport express to enable my wifi.  Will this also enable my iPad for printing?

I have an original iPad.  I also have airport extrere for enabling my wi- Fi.  Does this enable me to print using my iPad?

If your requirement is for printing at home and you have a Mac, just go to this site and download a great app that makes all your Mac's shared printers available to the iPad.

  • Airport, Airport Express, iPhone & PS3 wireless network will this work?

    Hi I need help with the above,
    I've got an iMac 15" G4 800Mhz, it is fitted with a standard airport card, the G4 is connected to the internet via ethernet to a Zyxel P-600 Series ADSL modem. I have also been streaming itunes (using airtunes) to a seperate hi-fi amp in another room using an Airport Express Base Station, THIS ALL WORKS.
    I have since bought an iPhone and a Playstaion3 (PS3) and want this all to work together but does not. It would seem that the Airport Express Base Station is the dominant part of this network and I want to change this priority. No matter how far I delve I cannot find the answer. Basically I want the following setup:
    iMac G4 (with Airport Card) that is connected to the internet via ethernet to be the 'main Base Station' (not the Airport Express as is currently), I then want to continue streaming Airtunes to the Airport Express and also use this device as a booster for the wireless network. The reason for the new wireless setup is to enable the iPhone to connect to the Internet (the iphone currently sees the network but cannot connect to the internet because the Airport Express is NOT connected to the ADSL Modem), I also want the PS3 to connect to this network.
    Am I asking too much of the Airport Card (The one in the G4)? or should I simply buy the new Airport Extreme Base Station and start again?
    Any help would really be appreciated, Paul

    sorry if i sound stupid but does that mean that if i'm using the AX to stream music (using Airtunes) I cannot simultaneously use it as a wi-fi extender?
    That situation is possible.
    If so can I set up the AX to just stream music and then use an Airport Extreme Base Station hard wired to the ADSL Modem and the iMAc and connect the iPhone and PS3 to the internet via the AEBS wi-fi network. Essentially creating one wi-fi network for iPhone/ PS3 wireless connection and a seperate Airtunes network for wireless music streaming, or am I just dreaming, cheers for your help.
    Sure you can do that. But then you will have to decide if you want to stream music OR you want to be on the internet. Your computers can't connect to both at the same time.
    You probably want to do the above, but configure your AX to join the wireless network provided by the AEBS. Then you will only have a single wireless network and you can stream music, print, and surf the internet all at the same time.

  • AirPort Express/Time Capsule WDS Network - will this work?

    Have recently bought a Time Capsule but realised that it won't do what I want with my Linksys ADSL wireless router. I think I understand how to make it work with an AirPort Express, but would appreciate it if someone could confirm my ideas before I buy even more hardware!
    My situation is that my ADSL line comes in to the house on the ground floor. There's no extension phone sockets and I don't want or need them. My home office is on the first floor.
    What I want is to have my ADSL modem and a wireless device on the ground floor, the Time Capsule in the home office with mac and XBOX making wired connections to it, and a USB printer also connected.
    If I get a DSL modem and then connect an AirPort Express to that, can I then set up WDS so that the Time Capsule becomes an extension of the WLAN and I can connect the devices to the Time Capsule via wires? Or do I need an AirPort Extreme to do this instead of Express? Or is it just plain not going to work?
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    I am using a Time Capsule with an 802.11g Airport Express with a WDS network. In my case the Time Capsule is the main device and the Airport Express is the remote device, but I'd think it would work the other way. Just make sure you're using "Airport Utility", not "Airport Admin Utility" to configure it.
    One other thing: I found it easiest to reset both devices to factory default settings and use the Airport Utility wizard to set up the WDS network on both devices. Good luck!
    My network:

  • Trying to connect my airport express to my home WIFI

    Hi,
    I have been trying to connect a airport express to my home WIFI connection for the purpose of wirelessly transmitting itunes to my Alfresco area using my iphone as a remote.
    The problem i currently have is that the airport does not seem to pick up my wireless broadband.
    My router is a Netgear dgnd3700.
    The procedure i followed so far is : 1. Reset the airport back to factory settings.
                                                       2. Plug the ethernet cable in and open airport utility.
                                                       3. Tick the circle saying " join existing network ". Here's the problem, my wireless network does not show up.
    I can type in the name of my network and also the password but the airport is not picking up the signal .... i cant choose a network.
    I can create a new network no worries and connect devices to it but that's not what i'm after. I'd like to join my existing network so i can transmit itunes to my amp.
    I've gone through the discussion forum but can't find an answer. I have also tried to manually set up the connection .. same result.
    Any help would be great ... i'm about to give up and think it was abad idea ....

    If it is the old G version Express you cannot use 6.3 utility.
    You must use the 5.6 utility.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
    Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

  • Tried to use my two airport express to extend my wifi network on a windows pc but no success

    Tried to use my two airport express to extend my wifi network on a windows pc but no success

    My two airport express base stations are 802.11n and i am triying to use them extend my wireless network which is using a D link wirless router as supplied my my ISP connected to TalkTalk network.
    Unless the D-Link wireless router has Ethernet ports for each of the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Stations (AXn) to connect to, they will NOT be able to extend the wireless range of the D-Link.
    Instead, when directly connected and reconfigured for a roaming network, these base stations CAN extend the range.
    Please check out this Apple Support article on how to use AirPorts to extend a wireless network.
    The key is to have both AXns configured as follows:
    As a bridge.
    Each having a unique Base Station Name.
    Both using the same Network Name (or SSID), wireless security type and password as the D-Link.
    Each AXn to use a channel at least 3-5 channels apart both from each other and that of the D-Link.

  • Do I need to have Airport Express to connect to other computers on our homer network?

    Do I need to have Airport Express to connect to other computers on our homer network?

    Not necessarily. You could use the "Create Network" feature of your MBP's built-in AirPort card to provide an Ad-hoc wireless network for local wireless-capable computers to connect to.

  • If I add an airport express to extend my wifi network, will I lose some of the bandwidth?

    I currently have an Airport Extreme, which does a great job, however we are losing some signal at the top of the house. If I add an airport express to the middle floor, will it half the current download speed we are getting, but provide a stronger signal, or does it replicate the same speed?

    Adding another base station to extend the wireless network does not directly affect your the download speed provided by your ISP. It will; however, use up some of the overall bandwidth of your wireless network for maintaining that extended network.
    When extending a base station will only repeat the bandwidth at which it receives it. That's why it is important to properly place this base station for best overalll bandwidth performance. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details.

  • I have airport express but it is not recognised by either my macbook pro or my ipod on my wireless network. It does not show in airport utility. Might I not have an airport card?

    I have airport express but it is not recognised by either my macbook pro or my ipod on my wireless network. It does not show in airport utility. Might I not have an airport card? How would I know. Airport utility in my mac says no other devices connected.

    I have airport express but it is not recognised by either my macbook pro or my ipod on my wireless network. It does not show in airport utility. Might I not have an airport card?
    If both your MacBook Pro and iPod are unable to "see" the Wi-Fi network provided by the AirPort Express, it is most likely NOT that you are missing an "airport card," but the Express may be the issue instead.
    One quick test is to see if either device can "see" other Wi-Fi networks. If they can, then you can definately rule both of them out as the issue.
    By default, the AirPort Express will broadcast an unsecured Wi-Fi network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Can either device see this network? If not, then I would recommend that you perform a "factory default" reset on the Express, and then, check again.

  • Hello, I have Airport Express connected through my PC which runs XP. After 2 hours of playing my iTunes library Airport just quits for no apparent reason. Has anyone had this problem and found a solution. I have log out to restart iTunes. Thanks Murray

    Hello, I have Airport Express installed on my PC which runs XP. When I play my library through iTunes after about 2 hours Airport quits and I have to log out and restart my computer - very frustrating. Don't know if it is overheating but if anyone can make any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Maybe Mail's message index is corrupt. The following procedure is safe to try. Its only deleterious effect is that windows you left open in Mail at step 1 won't reopen automatically in step 4.
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. Browse to ~/Library/Mail.
    3. Move "Envelope Index" to your desktop.
    4. Launch Mail.
    Mail will rebuild its index before it opens any windows. It may take a few minutes to rebuild. Be patient!
    The new index is likely to be a different size than the old one, usually smaller.
    Only the Message Viewer window will open--not any other windows you may have left open when Mail quit.
    Be sure your mail folders are there and have their messages. They always are there, but the prudent check anyway.
    Be sure you can send and receive mail. This always works, too.
    After you have done the above, trash the old Envelope Index that you saved on your desktop. It is never better than the new one, and as time goes on, it becomes more and more out of synch with your mail folders, so you won't want to put it back in Library.
    If Mail doesn't crash for a week or two, you probably fixed the problem. If not, you at least freed up some disk space.
    Let us all know whether and how you solved your problem.

  • Problème de connection Airport Express avec réseau wifi

    Bonjour,
    J'essaie de connecter mon airport express à mon réseau wifi numéricable.
    Petite spécificité de celui-ci: lorsque je veux me connecter à mon réseau avec un nouvel ordinateur.iphone... je dois saisir le nom du réseau car il ne me le propose pas de lui-même dans la liste des réseaux disponibles.
    J'effectue donc le paramétrage normal (j'ai quand même du inscrire moi-même mon nom de réseau car il ne me le proposait pas) mais au moment du redémarage de mon airport après la programmation de celle-ci, j'ai un message d'erreur disant que ma borne n'arrive pas à déceler le réseau wifi, à quoi est ce du selon vous?
    Merci de votre aide.
    Louis

    Bonjour,
    Air port capsule revient au voyant lumineux orange après 3 ou 4 jours de fonctionnement au vert. Je le débranche et il fonctionne à nouveau  pendant 3 ou 4 jours. Que se oasse-t-il?
    Avez-vous reçu des réponses qui me permettraient de résoudre mon problème?
    Merci

  • I have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

    i have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.it works on my iphone 5 & it originally worked on my ipad.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

    On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
    On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

    After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version".  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry,
    Yes, the error message is exactly like that  ("Database error: failured to persist version")
    No photos will import at all.  I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2. 
    About the difference?  iPhoto and Photos .  Are there two softwares?
    I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro,  iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto.  It's call iPhoto library.  At one point I turned off streaming. 
    Thanks again Larry HN.

  • I have an iPad 1 and would like to buy the new iPad. Will Apple exchange my old iPad for the new one . I live in Saudi Arabia.

    I have an iPad 1 and would like to buy the new iPad. Will Apple exchange my old iPad for the new one . I live in Saudi Arabia.

    Apple does not take trade-ins. You'll have to look for a dealer that does, though you'll probably get more for the iPad 1 if you sell it yourself.

  • I am buying an Epson scanner. I am told it is compatible with an Apple Computer, is that correct? I have been told to get Acrobat XI Pro as the software for the scanner. Is that correct? Will this also scan handwritten documents into a Word document?

    I am buying an Epson scanner. I am told it is compatible with an Apple Computer, is that correct? I have been told to get Acrobat XI Pro as the software for the scanner. Is that correct? Will this also scan handwritten documents into a Word document?

    "I am buying an Epson scanner. I am told it is compatible with an Apple Computer, is that correct?"
    We have no idea, and it isn't really our thing.
    "I have been told to get Acrobat XI Pro as the software for the scanner. Is that correct?"
    Acrobat XI Pro is available for Mac and is an excellent tool for making PDFs. We can't say whether it will work with the scanner. It depends what drivers Epson provide.
    "Will this also scan handwritten documents into a Word document?"
    That's not what Acrobat is for. It is for making PDFs. To make handwritten documents into Word documents, you'd just scan as graphics, and insert each graphic on a new page of the Word document. They will remain pictures of text, not something you can edit or copy/paste.
