I have an older version of the airport extreme, can i still set it up to be a dual band router like the newer versions?

Wondering if an airport extreme router that I bought back in 2009 will function as a dual band router, similar to the newer versions.  I wish to run my mac off of the lesser Ghz and the periphery devices off of the other(ipad, iphone).  I also have an apple tV, is this possible?

The 2009 model extremes are simultaneous dual band (but the 2007 model was not - it was dual band, but not simultaneous).  Your problem is that I know of no way to force a given device onto a given bandwidth on an extreme.  Both channels share the same SSID, and a device simple connects via whichever frequency it gets the best connection.
This is unlike other simultaneous dual band wifi routers.  I use a netgear wndr4500 (n900), and each radio is assigned a different SSID (and can also be configured independently in terms of security settings, and even turned on or off indepentently).  That way, I can force a given dual-band device to connect on a particular frequency by connecting it to that frequency's SSID.  The two SSIDs still function over the same subnet, so all 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz connected devices can see eachother on the same DHCP subnet.
But, I do not think you can set up an airport extreme like that - that sort of configuration is simply not an option with those devices.

    I have an older version of Adobe Digital Editions (around 3 years old) and was very happy with it.
    Then I had problems with my Kobo Reader and asked a friend who works in IT to assist. She could not fix the Kobo but she messed up my Addobe. She downloaded version three and I have an account and a password - was not able to transfer my books from my reader to version three (and I don't like the lay-out - I would prefer to stay with the old version as I also loose all my download date info..)
    But all the books I have bought over the last three years are in the old Adobe Digital and I cannot access them any more. When I use it I get the message "that the document is licensed to a different account. I can't even open the books on my computer.
    When I go to my Kobo library, I cannot also not open my books and get the message "this doc is protected by adobe digital rights management and is not currently authorized for use with your adobe. please sign in with your authorized adobe id and try again"
    I believe the problem is that I do not seem to have a digital id for my old adobe or that the Kobo is not in sync with it anymore.
    can you please help me - going on vacation in three days and cannot go without books.

    Please authorize ADE 3 with same credentials that you used with older version of ADE

  • I have an older version of itunes on my L drive.  Everytime I try to download the newest version I get the error itunes.resources is not a valid short file name.  Now I obtained an iphone and cannot sync the phone to my account because it wants me to upda

    I have an older version of itunes on a separate drive.  Everytime that there has been an update to itunes it will not let me update.  Now I purchased an iphone and I hooked the phone up to the computer and it tells me I need to install the latest version of itunes.  I downloaded to try it, but I keep getting an error message that says itunes.Resources is not a valid short file name.  What can I do from here?

    That is a new one on me.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

    If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
    But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
    upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
    Since there were about nine different build models
    of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
    one you have would be the first step to knowing
    what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
    If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
    it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
    when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
    detailed information is available.
    When you find the serial number, there is a web
    page that can be used to identify by serial no.
    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
    That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
    which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Hi, I have an older version of imovie on my mac and I need to make a short movie right from the camera inside my mac because my flipshare camera doesn't have the correct software anymore.  Do I definitely need the new version of imovie?

    Hi, I have an older version of imovie and I need to record a short audition directly from my built in camera in imovie and edit it and then send it because my flipshare camera software isn't responding to mailing at all.  Do I need the new imovie version download (update) available or can I simply use what is already on my computer to record edit and send?

  • I have tried to install the upgrade to iTunes on my Windows XP system. It tells me that I have an older version of Bonjour on my system and that it can not remove it. I have also tried to uninstall what is on my system and it will not uninstall! Help?

    I have an older version of iTunes on my system. I have tried to install the upgrade and it talls me that I have an older version of Bonjour and that it can not remove it. I have also tried to uninstall what is on my system and it will not do it. Help?

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

  • I have an older version of Photoshop...3.5... I bought a new computer and it will not load. Can I get another of the same version? or do I have to buy a new one?

    I have an older version of Photoshop...3.5.  I bought a new computer and what I have will not load. I love this version. Can I get a new cd that will load into Windows 7? or do I have to buy a complete new program?

    No CD, but you can download the installation files if you have the serial number, and the previous install has been deactivated
    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
    or
    Download Adobe CS5.5 Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant / Manager) | ProDesignTools
    If you are unable to deactivate the earlier installation, you wil need  to phone customer support and ask them to reset your activations.

  • Hi there, I have an older version of 10.5.8. What is the next step to upgrade to the latest version of 10.9 Maverick

    Hi there, I have an older version of 10.5.8. What is the next step to upgrade to the latest version of 10.9 Maverick?
    Thanks in Advance

    If yours is a PPC iMac (G4 or G5) you cannot upgrade further.
    If it is an Intel iMac:
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    (NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    iCloud system requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
    If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

    Well, if you loose functionality und good user experience due to apples and googles quarrels its simply not a matter of bugfixing. If you want to get rid of googles services (Maps, Youtube) you should at least make shure, the user experience stays the same. Without the youtube app custom made for easy iPad use, you need to buy an app to at least get fullscreen view but with a much more complicated navigation (iCabMobile for example). And GoogleMaps is right now still the far better service.
    If google lets me use programs for free (to make advertisements) I'm ok with a beta. If I buy a very expensive apple device I'm definitely NOT ok with this, especially when I'm forbidden to revert to what I had before. PLease let me downgrade to 5.1.1 again at least.

  • HT201272 I have an older version on the ipod touch...is it possible to download older versions of applications  ie Kindle, Barnes & Noble or Nook?

    I have an older version of the ipod touch, is it possible to download previous versions of Kindle, Barnes & Noble and Nook?

    Is there no place to go to get older versions?  Those of us who slavishly followed Apple constant harassment to upgrade  our 2nd gen iTouch to 4.2 just basically bricked our devices since all the apps we had before no longer work, requiring 5.0.  Surely someone has thought o offer such a service.
