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.

Hi Venkat,
If a report is created over a DSO, it pulls data from the active table of a DSO. So as suggested in all the posts above it is not possiable to report on the DSO without activating it.
Activation of DSO only allows to generate SID's to link transaction data and master data, SID's could also be generated at the time of reporting (When the report fetches data from BI server, but for the SID generation data is needed in active table). Also activation checks the correctness of data etc.
Could you please let know why you want to report on the unactive request, is it having some problem with activation?

Hi,
No, it is not possible, you must at least have the Operational Database. But please check Microsoft Monitoring Agent, is that what you are looking for?

Is it possible to use ERMS without Interaction Center

Hi experts,
We have a requirement wherein we want to receive email from our customer. The system should automatically create Service Request from Incoming Email. The Service Request should get automatically routed to the respective Orgs. The agents should be able to send emails from Service Request using Tracking ID. I understand that all this can be achieved using ERMS and Interaction Center. My concern is that we do not intend to use Interaction Center. Would it be possible to use ERMS without Interaction Center (using any business roles of Type: CRM Webclient and not IC Webclinet). Please advice.
Regards,
Namita

Hi Harish,
Thanks for the response. Our requirement is to create Service Request automatically as soon as an email reach the SAP system. these are external email sent by customers. But we do not have any plans of using Interaction Center. I was investigating if this can be possible at all. Any put would certainly be hlepful.

Can I use air print withoug wireless router?

Is there a way to set up the HP envy 110a for Air print without a wireless router? Perhaps through a website? Lost.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello f5trouble,
You cannot use AirPrint without being connected to a network. If you do not have a wireless network, you can try connecting the printer and iOS device through an AdHoc connection. To do this, turn on the wireless. When you enable the wireless on the printer without connecting it to a network, it will start to broadcast its own network, ussualy called HPSETUP. Next you need to connect the iOS device to the network the printer is broadcasting. Once you have the iOS device and the printer connected via AdHoc, follow the normal steps to AirPrint and it should print. I do not recomend setting up the printer and iOS device on an AdHoc connection, because it will automatically stop broadcasting after an hour, and you will have to reconnect them each time you want to use it.

Using macbook as a wireless router for non-apple devices

im trying to use my mac as wireless router for my xbox. i went into share under system preferences, and made a network with a WEP password. I can see the network on my xbox but it requires an IP adress...
i guess what im really asking is, if the mac can automatically assign IP adresses to devices on the network

I use my MBP regularly to share internet connection with PCs. Usually the PCs do a 'search' for a network and then 'connect' to the network name set in the Airport options... drop down panel. They get the IP automatically.
In the system preferences>share> there is a button on the right bottom which says 'airport options..' and in the drop down panel, you set the name or SSID and the WEP key.
Maybe you should check XBOX settings if the network settings are manual or automatic?
Hope that helps.

Is it possible to use board without MAX

Hi All,
I am develloping an Application that will use a NI USB measurement module. This Application is going to be distributed and used in the production in different industries.
I don't want that an operator can change the channel settings in the MAX, because this could make the measured results worthless. I have heard, that it is possible to controll a board without the MAX under CVI, but LabVIEW needs the MAX. Is it possible to use the dlls that are used with CVI in LabVIEW as well and controll a board without even installing the MAX.
Best Regards
Dermot

Is it possible to use airtunes to play music streamed via safari

I have recently set up my Mac so I can play music from iTunes through my stereo in my lounge using Airtunes.
I would like to be able to play music via Airtunes when streaming it over the internet (eg BBC iPlayer or an internet radio station).
Is there a way this can be done?

Hi,
I'm pretty sure you can't do it with the basic OS X software.
You can do it with some third-party software though:

Is it possible to use airtunes to play music streamed via the internet?

I would like to be able to play music via Airtunes when streaming it over the internet (eg BBC iPlayer or an internet radio station).

I don't have airtunes so I am speaking from a theory perspective. It looks like airtunes works with itunes and I know many streaming stations can also be played through itunes so I would think it could be done at least to some extent. You might have to save a link to the stream and then open the link file in itunes to get it to add it to your list (I have done this with a streaming station).
For other stations I don't know if you could select airtunes as a sound output option for general computer sound output in the sound control panel.

Using airtunes without connecting to internet through airport express

I am currently using cablevision and a modem, wirelessly, working fine.
have extensive music library, want to play it through home stereo wirelessly.
acquired airport express. computer finds it fine, but cannot skip using A Express as wireless connection
help?

you should be able to launch Airport Utility and setup your Express from scratch. The process is fairly self explanatory for me however, I found this tutorial that is pretty good and should get you through this ok, it's got screen shots to use as reference and covers the setup you are attempting to achieve.

Possible to use non-AT&T wireless card with iPad??

Thinking of getting an iPad, however I travel frequently and after looking at the outlandish prices for international data plans, I am about ready to give up on the idea. Anyone know if it is possible to use a non-AT&T wireless card with the iPad? I'm guessing there would be a compatibility issue of some sort.

The 3G iPad is not locked to a particular service provider. You can get a local Sim card and data plan in many countries. This article will give you some idea of what's available: http://gigaom.com/2010/05/10/ipad-data-plan-guide/

Using Airport plus additional wireless router (help, possible?)

Hi All,
I'm curious to know if I can connect to an additional wireless router while I am also connected to my AirPort Extreme.
I just moved into an apartment with an existing wireless internet connection and I currently can't replace my AirPort base station with their router that is provided by Verizon. I also have my own AirPort Extreme that I connect to in order to access an external hard drive wirelessly.
As of now I have been switching between the two of them, which, as you can imagine, can be quite inconvenient. So, I would like to use them at the same time, if that is possible.
Does anyone know if I can set this up and how I go about doing it?
Thanks so much!

Unfortunately, unlike the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) cannot "Join an existing wireless network."
The only other option, would be to try to establish a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) between the apartment's wireless router and the AEBSn ... but this would only work if that router is WDS-compatible. There are only a few that are.

Laptop printing via wireless to HP Laserjet M1217nfw without a wireless router.

I want to print from a laptop via wireless to a HP Laserjet M1217nfw.
The location means that there is no wireless router involved.
The manual suggests that there are two possible methods if no wireless router is available.
The first one is an ad-hoc or peer-to-peer network as described on page 9 and 10 of the supplied User Guide.
I appreciate that one laptop does not make a network so I configured two laptops to connect over an ad-hoc network with all security turned off to make things as simple as possible.
Both laptops have APIPA addresses and are connected.
I then tried installing the printer via USB and also via CD and the printer cannot detect the ad-hoc network.
In the configuration page the Communication Mode is set to Infrastructure and cannot be changed.
Also there is the issue of how the printer can get an IP address as it does not seem possible to provide one for the wireless manually.
I am starting to wonder if the manual in incorrect and the ad-hoc connectivity is not available.
The second option might be to use the Direct Print Configuration although this is more for smartphones I believe. I have briefly tried this method but the supplied driver from the CD cannot detect the printer. Perhaps a special driver is needed.
Having spent a considerable time on this I am beginning to wonder should I give up and send the printer back or is it actually possible to get this to work in the manner that I need.
Thanks for any help.

Do you have the ad-hoc network hosted by one of the computers? It sounds like you are trying to add the printer to an ad-hoc network.
Newer printers (not certain when this changed) do not support the printer connecting to a hosted ad-hoc network on a computer. Sorry.
However, the computers should be able to connect to the printer's ad-hoc network for printing purposes. On the computers, there should be a network SSID that has HP in the name (possibly print, printer model, or setup). If you connect to this network, the printer should be able to be added to the computers. However, the computers may not communicate with each other as the printer isn't really intended to connect multiple devices to each other.
You mentioned page 9 and 10 of the manual. I reviewed page 9 and 10 of the manual and it did not mention anything about any network settings. This came much later in the manual I had found for the M1217nfw. Is the manual I linked the same manual you have?

How do i find out if my imac is using my neighbour's wireless router?

i am new to macs.... when i bought my imac computer the sales person told me to enjoy my new computer and to call if any problems. He said to just plug it in and it will work with my existing wireless network ( i have two pc s as well using a wireless dell router). And he was right. Just plug it in. Amazing. No having to configure things,install things.....NOTHING ..(..Steve Jobs is my hero...and Bill Gates?...Boo,hiss and so on)
My question is this....how do i know that my computer is actually using my router and not one of my neighbor's wireless router on the road that i live on? ...the reason i ask this is that on rare occasions i cannot connect to the internet or i get disconnected....
mac Mac OS 9.2.x

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you go to the Airport Menu (or  Apple Menu > System Preferences... > Network if you haven't enabled the Airport menu ) you can see the SSID of the wireless network you are connected to.
If you are connected to your neighbour's network then he is showing poor practice in allowing his network to be unprotected. If your iMac has connected to your network without you entering the password the you are standing in to danger as you have an unprotected network too. Here are some reasons why you should protect your Wireless Network:
Bandwidth. If all your other neighbours decide not to pay for broadband Internet they get to use yours for free.
War Drivers. These a people in a car with a Wireless enabled laptop drive around looking for unprotected networks.
Your Network. Access to the files on your computer.
Criminal Activity. Your Internet Service Provider assigns you an IP address whilst you are on the Internet. If someone perpetrates a crime; spamming, illegal documents etc whilst "borrowing" your network you will be implicated and it will be difficult to prove this data wasn't passed through your computers.
So here's what you need to do now:
Change your SSID (from "Dell54g" or whatever it is right now). Nothing screams unprotected network like a default named SSID.
In your Router deselect "broadcast SSID" - this means that it's harder to find.
Unable WEP, WPA or WPA2 encryption to your network. A password will be required to access it from all you computers (but on the Mac at least you'll only need to enter it once the Mac will save it in you Keychain and reenter it everytime your Mac needs Wireless access).
Enable your Firewall in the router. This limits the use of certain ports. You should also check the the Mac's firewall ( Apple Menu > System Preferences... > Sharing > Firewall > ) has the more advanced features in use such as "Firewall Logging" and "Stealth Mode". Unfortunately your Windows machines don't have this feature.
Enable MAC blocking. Whilst it's easy to spoof a MAC address, so it shouldn't be used a primary security method, it will help. A MAC address is a worldwide unique hardware number in the form 00 00 00 00 00 00 that every piece of network hardware has (so your iMac has 3 MAC addresses (Ethernet, Firewire and Airport) and your PCs will also have multiple MAC addresses too - you can find them in  Apple Menu > About this Mac... > More Info...). Enter these MAC Addresses into your Dell router and then the router will only talk to devices which match that hardware address.
So the bottom line; right now I would be very concerned about the security of your wireless network. Whilst your Mac is probably safe because of how robust OS X is with it's own Firewall and Unix style Admin, your PCs are wide open to abuse right now.
I'm sure that my reply raises more questions than answers so feel free to come back to us.
kind regards
