Is there any way to print wirelessly using Airport Extreme with an older printer (HP Laserjet 2100 TN) - no USB connection.
I have an older printer and currently use a Cisco wireless router with Network Magic software which allows me to leave my 30 pin printer connected to the desktop computer and share the printer with everything on the network. Does the Airport Extreme allow for this? I am just connecting one that I purchased but can only find documentation on connecting the printer via USB (which my old printer does not have). The printer is late 90's vintage, but its comercial grade and is still one of the best printers I have used so I want to keep it going for now.
I don't really know much about anything BUT with that said, I have PCs, I have an old commerical work horse HP laser printer that works with the Airport Express as a print server through my wireless router. But having problems with my wireless router, never my AE, now how to change from WEP to WPA etc.for a new wireless router. Maybe I need to look into the Extreme. Good luck

Is there any way to get around using iTunes.7 with a Nano (secnd gen)?
I, like many others received a pretty new Nano from Santa, but was disappointed to find that.. it doesn't seem to be usable!
I have a iMac (os x 10.2.8) and a iBook G4 (os x 10.3.7)
BUT as I'm sure you're aware, I can't update the iTunes on either to version 7 because it's only compatible with 10.3.9 or higher..
As I am only a poor design student, there is no way I can afford a new os, so my question is really, what the subject said, is there any way I can get around using iTunes to put music on my iPod? or am I pretty much screwed?
Any suggestions would be really aprechiated! I just want to be able to use it!
Thanks

Printing wirelessly using airport extreme base station
I recently set up a wireless network at my house using an airport extreme base station. I plugged my usb printer into the base station and, according to the manual, I can print wirelessly. However, when I go to print, after following the manual instructions, it just times out. Any ideas?
There is already a thread (or two) on the PSC 1410:

Background -
My original Airport Extreme Base Station failed (would not connect to the modem). I purchased a similar, if not identical base station on eBay. Unfortunately, the purchased base station apparently was used in a password protected network. For what it is worth, my son gave me a Netgear wireless router, but it leaves a lot to be desired. For one thing, I use to keep the cable modem in the basement along with the Airport base station, with a printer connected to the USB port. The Netgear device does not have a USB port and also requires that the computer (in this case, the eMac) used to set up the network be connected to one of the ethernet ports. This meant I had to move the cable modem and router into my bedroom, a very undesirable situation. It then occurred to me that the original Airport base station Wi-Fi function might still work, and tested this hypothesis and sure enough, the Wi-Fi function does indeed work I currently have both base stations powered on, with my printer connected to the original. Both base stations appear under my Network icon, but neither Airport Utility 5.4.2 or Airport Administrator Utility 4.2 see either base station. I can select the original base station as my network, connect to the printer or even my other computers, but as soon as I try to select the new one, it asks for the password. I would like to somehow reset this base station and then redefine the network name and encryption.I would suggest that you perform a "soft" reset on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) that you just got from eBay. This type of reset will temporarily (5 minutes) disable both the base station and wireless security passwords so that you can access it with the AIrPort Utility to make the necessary changes.

Printing wireless using airport extreme
can printers that support 802.11b/g work wirelessly with airport extreme?
The experience I have had with wireless printing is very easy! Pretty much connect the printer to the AirPort and add it to your computer via "Print and Fax"!

Can't connect Canon MP560 wirelessly using Airport Extreme with MacBook Pro
My Canon MP560 is failing to connect to the access point. It recognizes the access point/network I would like to connect to but when I enter in my password it fails to connect and tells me to check access point settings. I used this exact same printer but different router in my old house and everything worked well! I'm thinking this is a Mac thing that I can't seem to figure out. I have the lastest Canon driver updates for Mac and use 10.6.8 software on my Macbook Pro.
This is how the printer instructs me on the panel.
a. Select Wireless LAN setup
b. Select Easy Settings
c. Select Access Point
d. Enter Password
e. Fails to connect..........
Please help.
Brice.Hi Tesserax,
i have the same issue as mountie30 with the MP560 but it's not working
i have a airport express.
i was following your instructions:
''To get to this feature within the AirPort Utility, go to the utility's menu bar and first choose Base Station, and then, Add Wireless Clients...''
the problem is, base station is in light gray and i can't click on it.
i re-plugged my printer into my imac so it detects it again. (it still says printer offline in settings)
i have no clue what to do.
please help
thanks

Is there any way to switch between using two different phones?
I know when phones have SIM cards (like with ATT), you can use two different phones by simply moving the SIM card from one phone to the other and ATT is none the wiser.
Is there any way to do that sort of thing with Verizon?
I currently have an iPhone 5 but would like to start playing around with Android (I'm a gadget nut). So, assuming I find an unlocked Android phone, is there any way to bounce back and forth between using different phones (obviously only one at a time)?Michael_F wrote:
So, the SIM card contains all the info necessary for the new phone to ring when called, etc?
yes, assuming the phones use the same size SIM card (otherwise, you'll need an adapter or a new SIM card; the cards are free at your local Corporate Verizon store).

It is said that iphone A1387 is world phone. But what i got is a cdma phone without sim slot ? Is there any way it can be used on the GSM network,it is on IOS 6.1.3
No, if it doesn't have a sim slot. However, the model number you posted is for a Verizon iPhone 4S. That model does have a sim slot, & if Verizon unlocks the sim slot, it can be used on GSM networks outside of the US.

I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express. I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not. I've tried several USB connectors, and several different ports on my USB hub; same result. I need to have the HP connected to the hub 'cause from there it's connected to our desktop Mac.

Our macs were set up with an incorrect Apple ID. Is there any way to change the Apple ID associated with these macs? This causes increased frustration during the updating process. After maverick we cannot edit the id being used anymore.
If you can prove ownership to the Macs, call Apple Care and request the Account Security Team.

Upgrade to 10.7.5. See:
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply. -
