I have two Airports, one connected to the router and the other one in another room where the connection is bad. How do I get better connection in that room? Merry them?

in another room, where the connection is bad to say the least... How do I get the airports to work together? To marry?

If you have not already done so, configure the AirPort Base Station not connected to the router to "extend" the wireless network created by the other AirPort Base Station. Read this for a more thorough explanation:
Wi-Fi base stations: Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations
Take note of the following in the above, which I recommend:
If you have configured your Wi-Fi base stations in the past, it may be helpful to do a factory default reset of each Wi-Fi base station that will be part of the wireless extended network before you begin.
As well as the following:
The physical location of extended Wi-Fi base stations will vary according to the building environment and may require some experimentation.
If feasible for your installation, a "roaming network" is the ideal configuration, and precludes the need for experimentation.

Can you have two airport extreme connected in the same network?

You can have two airport extreme connected at the same time in a network?
like if you have a modem, you can connect two airport extreme in that modem?

Yes

Airport Extreme
You should plan to connect one AirPort Extreme to the modem and the second AirPort Extreme to the first. The first Extreme will connect to the modem using an Ethernet cable. The second Extreme can connect to the first also using an Ethernet cable, or it can connect using wireless only.

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections. For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb. These terrible download speed really only affects the iPhones as my MacBook Pro usually gets the good speed no matter where it is. I don't believe there is anything wrong with my phone because if I am in the part of the house that uses just the extreme the download speeds on the iphone goes up to 50-75mb. As a note I have an AirPort Extreme on the top floor of my house (second floor) that's where my modem is located. On the first floor that's where one airport express is located. I also have another airport express in the basement that is accessed by my landlord. Any thoughts on how to fix this would be helpful.

It appears that your networking goals with the AirPort Express is to use it as a wireless Ethernet bridge instead of using it to extend the wireless range of your AirPort Extreme. The latter requires that the Express Wi-Fi radios be enabled.
If you intended to use the Express as a wireless bridge, you just need to reconfigure it to "Join a wireless" network instead of "Extend a wireless network."

In an extended network, the placement of the extending base station is critical as it can only extend the wireless network at the bandwidth at which it receives it.
Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on optimal base station placement.

I bought a used iPhone on ebay. when I try to activate it, I get a message that the owner needs to sign in to the device with their appleID and password. I have no way of knowing who the owner is. How can I get around this?

I bought a used iPhone on ebay. when I try to activate it, I get a message that the owner needs to sign in to the device with their appleID and password. I have no way of knowing who the owner is. How can I get around this?

Check the eBay listing. Did it state the device was Activation Locked? If not, then make a claim as Meg stated and get a refund. You will not be able to activate the phone and no one can help you contact the owner, unless that is the person that sold the device. If they cannot remove the phone from their account because it is not theirs, then refund is your route. Even Apple cannot assist with locating the previous owner.

I have two airports, one quite old and one brand new. Which should be connected to the modem in an extended network?

I just got a new airport express to extend my wireless network. It's 802.11(n). I have an older airport-- I don't know what iteration of the 802.11 standard.
If I connect them with Ethernet, which should be connected to the modem? Does that answer change if I have to connect the two airports wirelessly?

Unless I use the WAN port on the new APE, right?
Correct. But, if you do this, the question about which device connects where is then already answered....since the "new" AirPort Express must connect to your modem. So, your best wireless performance will occur in the area near the modem. Hopefully, that is where you need the best performance.
Side note-- the tech specs linked below for the 1st gen, draft-n APE say that it, too, is dual band, although it doesn't actually seem to be.)
It's confusing since a device can be dual band, but not simultaneous dual band.
1st Gen AirPort Express (AX) is dual band because it can provide a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz network. But, it cannot provide both at the same time. It is one or the other.
The 2nd Gen AirPort Express is simultaneous dual band because it provides both a 2.4 GHz and 5 Ghz signal at the same time.
1) Cable Modem ---> Switch ---> Two APE (all ethernet)
2) Cable Modem ---> 2nd Gen APE ---> 1st Gen APE (all ethernet)
3) Cable Modem ---> one APE ~~~> other APE (wireless between APE)
1) Will not work if you have a simple cable modem....one Ethernet port only.
If your cable "modem" is a modem/router with multiple Ethernet ports, then you could connect both AirPort Express devices back to the modem/router....and you would not need a switch at all unless you need more Ethernet ports for other devices.
2) would be correct if you have a simple cable modem
3) If you want to make use of the simultaneous dual band capability of the Express, then that device must be connected directly to the modem. The 1st Gen Express will "extend" one band only.....probably the 2.4 GHz band, since it is stronger.
If you use the 1st Gen Express connected to the modem, the "new" Express will not extend two bands. It will only extend the band that it "sees" from the 1st Gen Express, so you lose the simultaneous dual band capability of the "new" Express in this type of setup.
If you "extend"using wireless only, there is typically a bandwidth loss of about 50%, so it is always a compromise in this type of setup.

I have lost al my passwords after the last update. How do I get them back?

All my passwords disappeared after the update to FF32. Unfortunately sync no longer supports password synchronisation so it seems that all my passwords are gone.

Firefox 32 and later builds store the passwords in the logins.json file in the profile folder and no longer use the signons.sqlite file.
If you still have the signons.sqlite file that was used in Firefox 31 and older then you could try to recover the passwords saved in that file (you will lose passwords saved in Firefox 32).
You can force Firefox to reimport the passwords from the signons.sqlite file.
* reset the signon.importedFromSqlite pref on the about:config page to the default value via the right-click context menu
* delete the logins.json file in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed
When you restart Firefox then you should have the signon.importedFromSqlite pref with the value set to true and you should have the passwords imported in the Password Manager unless there may have been errors.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

I'm missing the "Organize Bookmarks..." feature under the Bookmarks tab. How do I get this feature, so that I may Import and Export my favorites?

In the past this feature was available, because I have imported my favorites from IE and have exported the information for back up reasons. I've noticed that since I've upgrade Firefox, I no longer have this option. I don't want to reinstall (if I don't have to) in fear of losing newly acquired bookmarks.

That menu item was renamed to '''Show All Bookmarks''' in Firefox 4.0.

That is set in the remote control policy under the general tab. There is a

Remember that if you have policies set to users AND workstations, that the
policies may conflict. It will all depend on how you have them scheduled.

I have two airport extremes, one acting as amodem and the other operating in bridge mode. The extremes are connected using ethernet, but remain connected even when I disconnect the Cat5a cable. How do I know if they are operating wired or wirelessly

I have two airport extremes, one acting as a modem and the other operating in bridge mode. The extremes are connected using ethernet, but remain connected even when I disconnect the Cat5a cable (I did this to check that the 100 feet of Cat 5a cable connecting them was working). How do I find out if they are operating wired or wirelessly? I want to know as I assume I will get much better speeds if they are wired.

Hi Bob, many thanks for the prompt response. I think I did what you suggested, but you're the expert so I have sent over a few screenshots. The extreme in question is High Birches Home Office (the rest of the network has been in place and working well for some time). My new home office is going to be in the garden, circa 100 feet from the main house. I have installed armoured Cat5e cable down to the shed that is going to be adjacent to the home office once built and situated the High Birches Home Office Airport Extreme there temporarily. Everything works well, so I was surprised when I unplugged the ethernet, that it still worked. I also tested the ethernet cable by switching off my laptop's wifi and unplugging the cable from the airport extreme and directly into the laptop and that worked ok.
If the screenshots below (I did every Airport utility tab for the High Birches Home Office) don't tell you anything more, then the set-by-step instructions would greatly appreciated so I can ensure I completed the steps correctly.
Many
Thanks, Greg.

I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too..

I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too. Any ideas? I'm guessing the only way is to do what I've seen in these community pages which states that it can be done but it will drop the bandwidth by 50%. Thoughts?? Thanks!

The Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G was one of the very few routers said to be compatible with Apple's implementation of WDS (Wireless Distribution System) settings.
The info that I have on file indicates that only the WRT-54G versions 4 and under were compatible, so that would be one bridge to cross.
Even if you find that your Cisco/Linksys might be the right version, Apple never published instructions on how to configure the Express devices with other manufactures, so users were left to their own devices to try to figure out how to get things working. Apple's instructions to connect to other Apple devices are in the link below:
WDS network
If you were hoping to use 2 Express devices in this type of configuration...even if it works...the bandwidth penalties will be extremely severe.
The first Express drops the bandwidth (and speed) on the entire network in half and the second halves everything again. So, the result, in effect would be a "g" wireless network running at 25% speed. Few users would consider installing this type of network.
At this point, it becomes one of those things where the fact that you might be able to do something does not mean that there would be much value in doing so. But, it is your decision to decide if you want to try to proceed.

I have two networks one each in two cities. Both are named the same but require different passwords. I am at my second location and cannot connect to this wifi network. How do I delet one network so I can connect to my second network?

Just go to the wireless network preferences and empty out all the stored wireless networks.. then scan and connect to the local wireless.
Select them and tap the - button below it.
Once they are emptied out.. it might be good to reboot the computer with the remember networks unchecked.
Start with a clean slate.

ITunes Automatically Change EQ Setting Based On Which Airport Express Streaming? I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different

I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different EQ setting to sound just right. Does anyone know of a way to have iTunes automatically change its EQ setting based on which Airport Express it is streaming to?

I'm in the same boat. I have a 6 zone amplifier running with 6 airport expresses to different rooms inside and outside the house. Each has it's own acoustic characteristics. I'd really love to be able to set each airport to equalize based on my SPL frequency sweep I did for each room.
Setting the eq in itunes won't do it as that is global plus I have many more sources for auiod other than itunes that use the AEs directly.

I have two location one is Delhi(IP-192.168.100.*) and another is Mumbai(IP-192.168.1.*) and both are connected by MPLS line and ping with each other.
We have one DC in Delhi location and domain name is CAPLDC and Delhi location all PC is member of this domain and working properly.
now i am trying join the Mumbai location PC with my Domain(CAPLDC) but they are not join with my DC and generate the error.
I have chek the DNS and nslookup all are correct but this is generate error.
Is this possible Mumbai location join with this Domain(CAPLDC)???
One more thing when i have created another DC with this name (papldc.com) then Mumbai location is joined properly.

Why are you using a single labeled domain? I would recommend renaming the domain name to be something like domain.com.
