I purchased a new Time Capsule (2TB - 2013), and I would like to use my old Time Capsule to extend the range of my wireless network.

I purchased a new Time Capsule (2TB - 2013), and I would like to use my old Time Capsule to extend the range of my wireless network. I can't get them to communicate. Any ideas?

You need to use the airport utility on a computer.
If you use v6 utility it is fairly easy and straight forward.
The trick is to place the old TC in the same room as the new one.
Do a full factory reset and then you can just go through the utility to extend wireless network.
I did one post with all the pictures.

If you have issues just ask.
Then you can place the old TC about half way between the new TC and the clients would want to connect.. the half way point is not distance but wireless signal levels.
You can pick that up by using the wireless diagnostics in a mac laptop and walking around to pick up the signals.
This is for extend wireless.. if you want roaming network it is entirely different. That means they are plugged together with ethernet.
Tell us if you mean roaming not wireless extend.

    Your serial number is the most important part of your software. Guard it with your life and store it safely. It's the only thing you really "buy" when you buy software. It's unique to you and is crucial for re-installing.
    Try signing in to your account on the Adobe website and see if your serial number is listed there.

  • Can I use an old Airport Express to extend the range of a new Airport Express?

    Hi all.  I have an old Airport Express 802.11g (First Gen?) that is starting to fade.  Still works, but not what it used to be.  So I am going to buy a new Airport Express.  I'm not interested in the Airport Extreme.
    Question:  If I use the new Airport Express as my main wireless router, can I plug my old Airport Express into another room as an extender?  In other words, with the old Express and the new Express talk to each other or will a new Express only allow extension with another new Express?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, but the old AirPort Express 802.11 b/g does not have a setting to "Extend a wireless network", so it cannot be used as a extender with the newer AirPort Express if you plan to connect wirelessly.
    If you plan to connect the older Express using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, then it could be configured to provide additional wireless signal coverage in that manner.

  • When I switch my time capsule to 5.0ghz mode the range of my wireless network drops significantly.  Near the Time Capsule my Macbook Pro works fine, in my bedroom I have almost no signal.  In mixed mode it works fine.  Any ideas on how to get 5.0 working?

    Thanks, W

    I'm not sure if you understand that 5 GHz has some upsides, but also some very significant downsides.
    The upside is that the 5 GHz signal will allow faster speeds.
    The downside is that you must always give up something in order to gain something else.Unfortunately, the marketing hype about 5 GHz does not go into very many details about this.
    In the case of 5 GHz, the 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals, so they do not travel as far or penetrate any obstructions like walls or ceilings nearly as well as 2.4 GHz signals. In many cases, in order to get good 5 Ghz performance, you literally have to have almost a line-of-sight relationship between your computer and the wireless router.
    If you have a new dual band router, which broadcasts both a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signal simutaneously, your Mac will connect to the best signal quality automatically depending on its location in relation to the router. In the same room, without any obstructions, it will connec to 5 GHz. But, take the laptop down the hall a few rooms and around the corner and the Mac will connect to the 2.4 GHz signal because at that location, the 2.4 GHz signal is not only stronger, it is also faster.

  • I just purchased a new mac mini and would like to use my old dell monitor. I tried a HD to VGA adapter converter,it plugs in, but nothing shows on the monitor. Any suggestions? Thanks

    I just purchased a new mac mini and would like to use my old dell monitor. I tried a HD to VGA adapter converter,it plugs in, but nothing shows on the monitor. Any suggestions?

    What do you mean by "HD to VGA adapter converter"?
    Do you mean have an HDMI to VGA adapter connected the the Mini's HDMI port?
    Or maybe you plugged n the the included HDMI to DVI adapter and then connected a DVI to DVI adapter?
    In either case that will not work since VGA is analog and the Mini's HDMI port is digital only.
    You need to purchase a mini displayport to VGA adapter. It plugs into the Mini's Thunderbolt port.

    right click on the folder that shows with the red negative sign, and select to "get info".  In the long skinny window that appears, look in the "sharing and permissions" section.  In the "name" column, you should see your current user name.  Ensure the "privilege" is set to Read and Write.  If your user name is not in the name column, click the + sign, and add it, ensuring the privileges are set to Read and Write

    If your copy of PS was for Win, your installation disk is not compatible with Mac.  You can't use a Win serial number on Mac either.  You would need to contact Adobe Customer Care and request a cross grade.  Depending on which version you own, this may no longer be possible.  I believe CS6 still qualifies for cross grades though. 
    Another option is to join the Creative Cloud Photography Plan ($9.99/mo) which includes PS CC and Lightroom which will run on on both Mac & Win.

  • HT1349 I purchased pages and numbers for Ipad and Iphone, now I have a MacBook Air and I would like to use both softwares in my computer. Do I need to purchase them again ?

    I purchased pages and numbers for Ipad and Iphone, now I have a MacBook Air and I would like to use both softwares in my computer. Do I need to purchase them again ?

    Yes. Air runs OS X, iPad and iPhone run iOS - different operating systems
    that required different versions of Pages, Numbers, & Keynote to run. Like
    the iOS version, once you purchase the version for your Air, you may install
    it on as many OS X desktops/laptops that you own.

  • Using time capsule to extend the reach of my wireless network

    I have a comcast router but wireless coverage only makes it halfway through my apartment. Bought a motorola router for front of apt, attached to cable and time capsule, but I'm not sure what to do next. Do I want to create a separate network or try to extend the comcast network? To make things more fun, my computer will only find the time capsule on one out of 20 scans, the other times nothing shows up. Thanks for any feedback/advice.

  • I've purchased a two 3TB Seagate hard drives that I'd like to use tosetup as time machine how do I go about this.

    I'd like to set up Time Machine with an external hard drive. I've purchased two 3 TB Seagate hard drives and a Nex Star port. I can't find it on my computer. Mac OS X 10.6.8

    I assume that you are asking about USB connections here, correct?
    And, that the "Nex Star port" is a USB hub of some sorts, correct? ( I could not find this product on a quick Google search)
    Please connect one of the Seagate hard drives directly to your Mac, bypassing the USB hub that you might have and check to see if the drive appears on the Mac's desktop. Then, eject the drive and check the other Seagate drive to make sure that it appears on the Mac's desktop.
    If both drives appear when you test them with a direct connection to the Mac, then the next check would be to connect both drives to the USB hub, and then connect the hub to the USB port on the Mac.
    If you do not see both drives appear on the Mac's desktop, then you may have a defective USB hub, or, if the hub does not have its own power supply,  you may need a powered USB hub.
    Once you have determined that the USB hub is working correctly, then please check the format of the hard drives. Time Machine requires a drive to be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)....also known as HFS+. 
    Examine the documentation that came with the drives to see how they are formatted. If you see something to the effect that the drives are formatted for both PC and Mac, then the drive is not formatted correctly for use with Time Machine.
    Please report on your results.
