Is it possible to run AirTunes without a cable modem or any of that stuff?

Hi all,
I have an airport express base station and an airport extreme card in my machine (Powerbook G4). I got the base station as a gift, and all I want to do with it is play AirTunes. I don't want to print from the hallway or download anything from anywhere on earth. In fact, I don't even have DSL or a cable modem or anything like that. I still use dial-up because I don't spend much time on the Internet.
Anyway, I've had no luck getting this stuff to work. All I get is the flashing amber light. My stereo is plugged into the base station, and my base station is plugged in. But the base station just keeps flashing amber, and needless to say, nothing is working.
So...what the @%$* do I have to do to get this thing to play some music? Do I have to have more plugged into the base station than just the stereo? I know these are probably dumb questions, but hey, I read all the documentation that came with the base station, and I still have no clue (BTW, note to Apple: hire some people who know how to write real-world documentation that actually explains how and why this stuff works and what to do when things go wrong).
ANY help would be appreciated, and by all means, please do explain it to me like I'm a six year old. I've been using Macs all my life, but this stuff is just getting to be a little more than "take it out of the box, plug it in, and watch it work."
Thanks,
Robin

Although you don't need an Internet or network connection to stream iTunes to your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) wirelessly, it will continue to flash amber, by design, because you don't.
To set up AirTunes on the AX, temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
Music tab
- Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
- Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
- iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
- iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
- Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Wireless router without a cable modem

    Can this be done? Where i live i dont have access to a cable modem but i would still like to have a wrieless net work in my house, any sugestions?

    ok, last time i tried to install a router it would not let me install it without a cable modem, so a router like the WRT610N would do what i need it to do as far as being able to install it without a cable modem correct?

  • Is it possible to run clusterware without ASM? (on OEL 5.5)

    Hello all,
    I want to have a simple failover scenario with Oracle 11g database supporting EBS 11i with 2 nodes both on OEL 5.5. Since Oracle does not support LVM in clustered environment, I plan on using OCFS2. I would prefer not to use ASM and do not want any fancy monitoring of services. I basically would like the package to mount filesystems and start the virtual IP and be able to manually fail over to other node, if necessary.
    Is it possible to run without ASM on straight filesystem or does clusterware require ASM?
    thnx!

    It is possible without ASM. You can run it on OCFS.

  • Is it possible to use AirTunes without a wireless router?

    At home, I have a MacBook and use AirTunes with my AirPort Express on my home wireless network. It all works great without any problems.
    But I also occasionally provide music on at the neighborhood pool (for kid's parties, etc) which does not have any kind of internet connection (no WiFi, nothing).
    I was wondering if it's possible to stream the music wirelessly from my MacBook to my AirPort Express (which will be plugged into a sound system) without a WiFi network present? In other words, is there some kind of way to set up wireless communication between the MacBook and the AX without having to bring and configure a wireless router at the pool?
    PS) More info:
    The reason I want to do it wirelessly is so that I can locate the MacBook somewhere away from the sound system to not only protect it from water/traffic, etc, but also somewhere where the kids won't see it and "fight" over changing songs, etc.
    And also, as a side question, I have Apple's "Remote" app on my iPhone. Just wondering if I can control iTunes with my iPhone; again without the presence of a WiFi router?
    Thanks very much in advance!

    In other words, is there some kind of way to set up wireless communication between the MacBook and the AX without having to bring and configure a wireless router at the pool?
    Yes and no. The AX IS a wireless router. You would simply configure the AX to create a wireless network. Your MacBook would connect to that network and stream the music.

  • Is it possible to run iTuens without Quicktime?

    I was wondering whether you had to pair iTunes with quicktime or if there's an alternative program that does the same thing as Quicktime. I'm on Windows Vista and am having a real issue with a buffer overrun like a lot of people seem to be having with Quicktime and Vista and apple don't seem to be in any rush to resolve this problem. I haven't been able to access iTunes and therefore update my iPod for 3 months and it's driving me crazy! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    iTunes is completely married to QuickTime. While QT is not that relevant for iPod management, iTunes absolutely refuses to do anything without QT. Technically, iTunes is just a database program and user interface to that database. Anytime you tell it to play a song or video it calls QT in to perform that task.

  • How to run VI without the DAQ card connected to the labtop

    This may be a silly question but I want to have the answer and couldn't find the answer for spending time in searching in the web.
    I want to run the VI that controls the intruments in my labtop. The VI was run in a destop that has a DAQ card in the PC (a PCI card).  I know it is possible to run it without errors (without a DAQ card) in my labtop . Anyone knows how to do it? I used labview 7.1. Thanks,
    Jun

    If you are using DAQmx and if the DAQ card is supported, you can add a simulated device in MAX.

  • To run MRP without considering unrestricted stock

    Hi,
    Is it possible to run MRP without considering unrestricted stock of the material?
    Best Regards,
    Sitaraman

    Dear All,
    Thanks a lot for your response to this thread.
    In fact i tried the option of providing value 1 to exclude the storage location stock from the MRP. But it did not fulfil my requirement.
    My requirement is as below:
    The business wants to create the material requirement by manual reservations.
    Also for this MRP run except this manual reservations all other issue elements, receipt elements and stocks should not get considered.
    With checking group configuration i am able to exclude all other issue, receipt and stock elements. But in this settings there is no option to exclude the unrestricted stock.
    What happened when i tried giving 1 in MRP 4 view to exclude the storage location stock, the system not only excludes the stock but also it excludes the storage location from MRP run. Meaning...
    Plant   XXXX
    SLOC YYYY
    SLOC - YYYY current stock: 100
    Manual reservation created (requirement) for SLOC -YYYY : 50
    The expectation out of MRP run is, to create procurement proposals for 50 numbers with out considering SLOC - YYYY stock of 100 and not to exclude the SLOC YYYY itself.
    Best Regards,
    Sitaraman

  • Running SchemaTool without a database

    Is it possible to run SchemaTool without a database?
    I want to generate the SQLs during the build process and
    use them to create the tables during deployment. I tried
    putting a <persistent-types> block in system.prefs so that
    SchemaTool will not try to keep track of the types in
    database but it still try to connect to the database when
    I run it with the following options:
    -action refresh -outfile <sql-file> <jdo-file>
    Any idea?

    Any idea?Yan,
    Currently, we always connect to the datastore to retrieve a list of
    existing tables and columns so that we know what modifications need to
    be made. Being able to create complete SQL scripts with no DB connection
    would be useful. I've added it as a feature enhancement to our bug
    tracking database:
    http://bugzilla.solarmetric.com:8080/show_bug.cgi?id=189
    In the mean time, you can create the appropriate SQL by creating a blank
    schema in the target data store and executing the schematool against it
    using the '-outfile' option.

  • |Running processflows without using Workflow??

    Hello,
    Is it possible to run prcoessflows without using workflow, i don't want to depend on workflow to run it on schedules, we will use another schedular technology to run processflows.
    But, is this possible and is there any package created in OWF_MGR database by workflow for each processflow to use it in running ???
    Thanks......

    if you are going to use another scheduler then why not create a workflow within the scheduler for eg, if you using control M scheduler, then
    all you go to do is prepare a workflow on ctrol M using the mappings from OWB and run it on control M. Either you create everything in owb and run in owb or just create the mapping in owb and run everything out of OWB why create a workflow in owb and run it on other scheduler. If you create a workflow in some other scheduler then you got better control over the processes running otherwise if will be difficult to handle errors and exceptions.
    If you know what is process flow should look like then its much easier to create it on a scheduler if the software you are using is capable of doing it. I know for sure Control M and autosys are capable of doing it.

  • CANNOT RUN UPDATES WITHOUT PASSWORD

    I HAVE PURCHASE A USED APPLE IBOOK G3 VIA EBAY,AND AFTER FINALLY GETTING IT CONNECTED TO MY EXSISTING INTERNET IT SAYS THAT 1.I NEED TO RUN UPDATES,WHICH I TRIED TO DO BUT IT REQUIRES A PASSWORD AND BEING THAT I BOUGHT IT USED,I DON'T HAVE ONE AND NOTHING I'VE DONE SEEMS TO WORK. 2. THE MEMORY NEEDS TO INCREASED...IS THIS POSSIBLE?
    I AM NOT VERY COMPUTER ORIENTED,SO ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE ME,I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL!

    Welcome To  Discussions calabilly!
    Exactly which model iBook G3 is it?
    What is the Processor speed?
    What size is the Hard Drive, and how much free space is available?
    How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
    What type of internal Optical Drive does it have?
    If you have the system restore/install discs, use the instructions here Reset Admin Password.
    If the previous owner did not include the discs, contact the seller and request they be furnished.
    Or if you can call Apple Customer Service 1-800-767-2775, and provide the serial number of the iBook, you may be able to purchase replacement original system discs.
    However, those will be for the version of OS, that was pre-installed when manufactured.
    But, they will contain the bundled software, that is not included in a Full Retail Version, of a newer OS X. The Apple Hardware Test, specific to the Mac model, will also be included.
    If the original OS, is lower than the current installed version of OS X, you will also need to purchase a corresponding Full Retail Version, of the desired system.

  • Is it possible to run a java program without using the command prompt?

    Hi,
    I was wondering whether it is possible to run a Java program (not an applet) without using a command line in the command prompt?
    Basically I want to run a program that will be continually running in the background and hence I don't want to have a command prompt screen loaded up as well - I just want the program to be running in the task bar.
    I know how to run the program in the task bar - but I still need to launch the program from the command prompt - is there anyway I can get a program running without having to start it from the command prompt?
    Cheers

    Or create a desktop shortcut (in Windows) or an application launcher ( in Linux GUI).

  • Is it possible to run Posture using ISE 1.2 without NAC Agent provisioning?

    Is it possible to run Posture using ISE 1.2 without NAC Agent provisioning?
    -My customer does not want to push NAC Agent installation on BYOD type of computers (non-managed by the company computers).
    -The requirement is to check for posture only company owned wired, wireless, and VPN connected Windows computers. The rest of the endpoints should be considered as posture incompliant, and limited access to the network should be allowed.
    -No certificates are used.
    -I’ve configured the required posture check, and it all works fine if a PC has NAC Agent manually installed (without ISE Client Provisioning). However, when I use a PC without NAC Agent, it is redirected to Client Provisioning Portal and is stuck there as Client Provisioning is deliberately not configured in ISE.
    -If I remove Posture Remediation Authorization Profile that does URL redirect, the posture does not work.
    -For now I'm testing it on wired endpoints.
    Is there a way to configure ISE to fulfill the listed above requirements?
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Val Rodionov

    Everyone who finds reads this article,
    I'm answering my own quesiton "Is it possible to run Posture using ISE 1.2 without NAC Agent provisioning?"
    The answer is Yes.
    After doing research and configuration testing I came up with a solution, and it works fine for wired and VPN connections. I expect it to work on wireless endpoints as well.
    ISE configuration:
    Posture General Settings - Default Posture Status = NonCompliant
    Client Provisioning Policy - no rules defined
    Posture Policy - configured per requirements
    Client Provisioning (under Administration > Settings) - Enable Provisioning = Enable (it was disabled in my first test)
    Authorization Policies configured as regular posture policies
    The result:
    After successful dot1x authentication posture redirect happens. If the PC does not have NAC Agent preinstalled, the browser is redirected to Client Provisioning Portal and a default ISE message is displayed (ISE is not able to apply and access policy... wait one minute and try to connect again...). At the same time, the endpoint is assigned NonCompliant posture status and proper authorization policy is applied. This is what I wanted to achieve.
    If NAC Agent was preinstalled on the PC, after successful dot1x authentication the NAC Agent pops up and performs posture check. If posture is successful, posture compliant authorization policy is applied. If posture check fails, NonCompliant posture status is assigned and posture non-compliant authorization policy is applied. Which is the expected and needed result.
    The only part that is not perfect it the message displayed to the end-user when posture is about to fail. I did not find a place to change the text of that message. I might need to open TAC case, so this file can be manually found and edited from CLI (root access).
    Best,
