Is it Possible to Increase the Range of Bluetooth Peripherals?

Now that we have airplay on Mountain Lion I would really like to be able to use my mouse and keyboard at my TV which is about 25 ft away from the imac.
Is it possible using some sort of relay to increase the Blutooth range of my mouse and keyboard?
Thanks.

Hello:
The effective range of Bluetooth devices is about 30 feet (10 Meters). That is affected by obstructions (walls, etc).
In answer to your question, I do not know of any way to increase the range. By definition, Bluetooth devices are short range.

RE1000 - Increase the range

I bought this extender to increase the range of my Linksys E3000. What a disappointment! The performance decreased with the extender: it dropped from 10+ Mbps to 1-2 Mbps. When I was close to my router than the extender, my laptop and all other wireless devices kept connecting to the extender instead of the router.

The RE1000 is meant to extend the range of an 802.11n network. While the device has the ability to extend the signal for a traditional 802.11g router, still it is not recommended. The reason for this is because the RE1000 is built to extend 2.4 Ghz 802.11n signals which use MIMO as well as other advanced technologies, if attempting to extend a G network you will not achieve the desired performance because it is not optimized to extend standard 802.11G signals.
Remember that the RE1000 will only extend the 2.4Ghz frequency. Meaning that if you have a router that is dualband you can only use an extender on the 2.4Ghz channel. The 5 Ghz channel does not currently have an Extender available for it. Since some dual band routers have the ability to select which frequency you want activated. Always make sure 2.4 Ghz is enabled if you are having troubles configuring.
When possible remember to use the Setup Utility and make sure the RE1000 is close to the router when first setting it up. The utility will test your network performance for you.
Remember to quickly get to the RE1000 after it has been setup, you can click on Computer > Network > then look in network infrastructure to see the RE1000. Double Clicking will launch the setup page.
Lastly and most importantly, remember that in order to get the best performance from an RE1000 you need to place the extender in an area where you still have at least 50% signal strength to your router when you place it in the final location where the RE1000 will be used. To configure the RE1000 you will need to login to the UI after you have put the RE1000 in the final location to verify the signal strength below is a reminder about signal bars and what they mean as a reminder
For ALL configurations you should have between 2-3 bars of signal at the very least. If you have less we will need to move the RE1000 closer to the router. You can also check the status on the status page of the RE1000 as well. On the status page it measures both Signal Strength and Signal Quality. If either set of bars is red you must move the RE1000 closer to the Router.

I have an airport extreme. is there a way i can increase the range within my house? thanks

I have an airport extreme for my ipad and mac. is there a way to increase the range within my home? there are some rooms it does not connect on the internet to my ipad. thanks

Yes. Please check out the following Apple Support article that provide details on the many ways you can go about doing this.

Is it possible to increase the hard drive capacity on my Macbook Pro?

If you feel confident, you can do it yourself.
If not, Apple can do it for the small matter of money.
If you go to http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
Find you Mac on this page it has videos that show you how to replace the disk drive.
After you view the video then you can make your mind up as to which is the correct way for you to go.

Is it possible to increase the number of authorised computers with itunes.

Hi with Apple now selling more devices than ever is it possible to increase the number of authorised computers for sharing on iTunes.
we have 2 x MBP and a 27" iMac 2 x ipads 3 x ipods and 2 x iphones in the house, we would obviously like to share the one account with all of them and I think that seeing the number has not changed in years yet the number of products able to use. It would make sense to at least double the authorised number.

You are limited to 5 devices. Maybe Home Sharing offers options

I just purchased an airport extreme router to increase the range of my wifi. I have an imac with 10.5.8. I get a flashing yellow light on the base unit and it tells me I need airport utility to install yhe ubnit. Where do I get this and how do I do it?

Yes, that is correct.
Did you have the instructions that came with your Airport Extreme? Are you sure you have it setup properly? Here is the setup guide:

Ensure you have everything setup properly. Once you do this and if you are still having trouble, follow Star's instructions.

Am new to the B2B 10g- EDI Integration environment. In our production setup, am getting the following error.
B2B EDI Translation failed, because one of the fields was too long. The length of Sub-element length is '41'. The maximum allowed length is '35'.
In the segment RFF defined in the guideline at position 0070; Is it possible to increase / expand the lenght from 35 to 41.....
Thanks and Rgds,

Hi Nitesh
I have the same problem what srini explained above.
I'm using Oracle B2B Document editor.
That corresponding element's field is in disabled state ,a red triangle displays in top right corner of that field.
Could you help me to solve this issue?

I bought the Airport Extreme because I thought it would increase the range of the WiFi signal in my house. I have a DSL modem (also Wifi) and there are parts of the house that do not seem to have a strong Wifi signal.

I bought the Airport Extreme because I thought it would increase the range of the WiFi signal in my house. I have a DSL modem (also Wifi) and there are parts of the house that do not seem to have a strong Wifi signal. The Airport Extreme does not seem to be increasing my Wifi signal strength? Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong? I am able to connect to it, etc. Just thought the strength would be better.

The broadcast power of all wireless routers and devices is limited by law.....and all manufacturers run their routers full blast.....so the relative signal strength of wireless routers from one manufacturer to another will tend to be remarkably similar.....despite the fancy advertising claims.
You may want to consider adding another AirPort Extreme to "extend" the signal strength in your home. If you decide to do this, the "extending" Extreme would normally need to be located at a point that is approximately half the distance from your "main" AirPort Extreme and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.

Is it possible to increase the nested layer group limit on Photoshop CS4

Hi all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to increase the limit on nested layer groups in Photoshop CS4. To do a test, I made a group with a blank layer inside, then duplicated this group several times and nested them within each other. Once I have nested groups (5 deep) I can't nest any more.
This is quite frustrating as I'm sure I could cope with a just two or three more levels of depth.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
That's rather annoying. I guess I will have to live with it for now. :-(

Is it possible to increase the size of my startup partition?

Hello,
I need to know if it is possible to increase the size of my startup partition. I have a 320gig drive that I put in my MacMini. I had given my startup partition 100Gig, and then created 2 other partitions. I've since started getting messages that my diskspace was running low and wondered how that could be. Well, upon using Grandprespective I found I have a 45gig .sparsebundle file, which I believe is related to my use of FileVault. I had tried to turn off File Vault, but it then tells me that I don't have enough space to turn it off. My thinking, if it wasn't taking up so much space I wouldn't have that problem to begin with......
So then I thought I might be able to adjust the size of my startup partition, but after I shrink the size of the partition next to it, it still will not let me shrink the size of my start up partition.
Is it not possible to decrease the size of a startup partition?
Thanks,
Jeff

Don't partition.
Off load files to another drive.
Clone and backup and then restore to a single HFS+ partition.
Partitions either don't work, get in the way, or you/I have to be ready to redo them.
Now, there may be a 3rd party program you can buy, but I'm not sure and of course you should not try anything without backups.
First thing that comes to mind would of course be "iPartition" but as I said, never used or read anything on.
The other, to buy yet again another larger or 2nd drive.

Is it possible to increase the size of the menu bar?

My friend just got a nice new 27" iMac. On such a large display the menu bar disappears into oblivian when you sit far enough back to actually use such a large display. Is it possible to increase the size of the top menu bar? I had a look around at preferences and couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance
SR

In short, no. Just found five or six threads asking this. Here's one.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2602785?threadID=2602785&tstart=45#12374829
And, zooming the screen is a non-starter, because when you do that the menubar disappears entirely.

Is it possible to increase the size of the police in the finder menu in Lion?

Hezllo,
Is it possible to increase the size of the police in the finder menu in Lion?
Thhanks for your reply.

I see, in Finder you have the ability to see things in multiple views. I would very strongly recommend you use the Find Out How Video tutorials , specifically Finder Basics. You can increase the font size in any view by clicking the View menu - Show View Options where you can increase the font size.

Is it possible to extend the range of one airport express with a second airport express?

Hi,
We have a Time Warner router and have it hardwired to an Airport Express. Is it possible to extend the range of that one airport express with a second airport express?

... The new AirPort Express that I have is an 802.11n version, but the second one is an older model and I don't know which version it might be. Also, the system recently updated so I'm using the AirPort Utility 6.1.
If you are using Mountain Lion, AirPort Utility 6.1 is the version installed by default. It will not be able to administer "older" AirPort base stations.
For them, use AirPort Utility 5.6 which contains the features you need. It can administer your older Express as well as current production base stations.
AU 5.6 is compatible with Lion as well as Mountain Lion, however, the installer app will refuse to install it on Mountain Lion.
This dilemma is easily solved though. You simply need to extract the app from the installer package using a package extractor like Pacifist.
Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
Mountain Lion will not allow you to delete its existing version of AirPort Utility. Just ignore it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist.
Note: For those with Leopard or Snow Leopard systems you need AirPort Utility 5.6.1 (this is confusing - a later AirPort Utility version for an earlier OS X version - but it is correct).
