My situation is two separate buildings 100 feet apart. can time capsule provide wireless internet in both?

can time capsule provide wireless internet service between two homes 100 feet apart?

OK.. starting to get the picture..
You should have run ethernet between the two buildings not cable.
Does the cable for the second building start inside your house.. ie do you have a termination for cable or does the second building come in directly from the street.
If you have cable link between the two buildings you can buy ethernet to cable adapters.. plug one it at each end and simply extend by plugging it into the router on the main cable link.. simple and far superior to wireless.
Otherwise you need to work out what kind of budget you want to spend to do this..
You can buy professional or semi-pro stuff from companies like ubiquiti which are far superior to domestic wireless link.. or if you want to do it on the cheap figure out what is the min speed you can live with.
I can give you instructions for using a pair of old airport.. in WDS.. or new ones.. but the new ones will cost far more and no gain.. you can usually pick up the old discus ones for $10 on ebay and they work great.
But don't try to do it without a link.. ie a specific set of AP in one house plus repeater in the other. As anything you do without making a link will just fall down or become unreliable.
You must have a pair of matched items.. You want to do this with WDS.. and you want something with good range. If you want N wireless that is fine.. but buy a pair of N wireless routers that can do WDS with full WPA2 security. eg full N wireless edimax stuff is not bad. TP-Link also not bad.. but if you want to run airplay and bonjour etc.. anything apple network then stick to apple. You will find that non-apple wireless routers will often not work with apple specific protocols.. as they are just that.. non-specified.

Can I run two separate versions of the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine on one PC?

Hello, I am curious if anyone knew if it is possibly to install and use two separate versions of the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine on one PC? I currently have the 2009 Run-Time Engine installed on one machine and wanted to install the 2011 Run-Time Engine as well. I know that you can run two separate versions of the LabVIEW program on one machine, but what about the Run-Time Engine?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm guessing this is a bug that NI needs to fix. I see no reason you shouldn't be able to install the run-time engine of an older version. I'd be interesed in if it allows you to install the older development environment, which also includes the older run-time engine. There are some command line switches for NI installers as mentioned here:

I wonder if there is a force install option.

Does my problem has anything to do with SSL for mail settings? Cause when I tried re-adding it says something that I should try without SSL, and I did what you said and it gives me this "The IMAP server pop.mail.yahoo.com is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the incoming mail server field". Ahh.. this is so annoying, Apple what are you doing to me?! Or is Yahoo doing this to me?!
Thank you for your time. Sorry it doesn`t work.

I have two users on the same MAC and want to have separate ITunes libraries stored on my time capsule. what's the best way to ensure that is done?

I have 2 users on a MAC each with separate accounts (email, photo, ITunes) and I want to migrate my ITUnes Library over to a time capsule so that each usewr still has their own library bu don't want to duplicate songs. What is the best way to have both Itunes pointed to separate libraries both stored on the Time Capsule?

A bit of basics on iTunes. iTunes does 99% of what you see through a library.itl file in the iTunes folder. This file is a database and in it are references to the actual media files. These files can be anywhere in theory, but if you have iTunes set to default then they are nicely organized in media folders in the iTunes folder. You have probably moved them to some central shared location in the past, then built up two individual libraries around that central location.
iTunes is very fussy about a person dragging files to a different location, and that goes double if the other location is on a different drive. You can move files, but it is best to let iTunes do it so it can keep track. If this was just for one person I'd say go into preferences, select the other drive for media location, then close preferences. My understanding (never done this before) is iTunes will then ask you if you want to move your media. Say yes and iTunes will move it and keep track of it -- for your library. Now when you go to the other person's library, it opens and you see loads of ! because their library is still looking for the media on the same drive as the library is located on. I don't think it will work (but you could always try) to re-assign the media location to the external drive because the reference in the database is to look for such-and-such a file on the internal drive. iTunes did that for the first library as part of the move, but not for the second one. Note that typically when you want to move a single user's collection from drive to drive we advise moving the whole iTunes folder, library files and all, to another drive, but you don't have that structure.
So I'm not sure what to advise. If it were me and I was absolutely gung-ho on doing this I would re-assign the media with one library. Then edit the .xml version of the library file for the second library so it points to the new file locations and import this into a fresh iTunes library for the second user. This isn't the perfect solution because nominally the .xml version does not 1005 replicate all the characteristics of the original .itl file (which cannot be edited).
Or maybe some other user bas a better idea.

After Upgrade to 7.6.100.0 User Can't Connect To Wireless

We have an internal 5508 controller that has two SSID's on it. A secure SSID which uses an ACS server to authenticate users through AD, and a guest SSID which tunnels out to a DMZ 5508 anchor controller. The guest users have no issues at all. We upgraded our controllers to 7.6.100.0 about 3 weeks ago. Since then, we've had an issue with the data path, for the anchor controller was down, and would only come up after reboot of the internal controller. That was the 1st issue. Over the past few days, I've had users from all over the country tell me that they cannot get connected to our secure network. All users have Win7 machines. All they see is the yell yield sign, on their wireless connection. In the Network and Sharing center, they see the wireless network listed as an unidentified network (public network). In the ACS, the users are authenticating with no problem (I can see it in the ACS logs), and they do receive an IP address. However, they have absolutely no connectivity. I have them try to ping the default gateway, of the subnet that they're assigned, and it comes back with request timed out. Of course they can't get to the internet, or do anything, since they have no connectivity back to their gateway. I've restarted the internal controller (thinking that there must be a hang like with the data path anchor issue) which didn't work, I've blown away the SSID, and recreated it. That didn't work. I even restarted the ACS, although that wasn't an issue. It seems like any users that were connected, prior to the issue, and have no shut down their pc, are ok. Users that have shut down, or have removed the secure wireless network profile, from their computer, can no longer connect. They just get that the network is unidentified. I'm not sure if there was any sort of Win7 update, or some other push, but I want to make sure that from the WLC perspective, there's no issue. Thanks for any help!

Hi Dan,
You pay the price going for latest (does not mean greatest).
Based on my experience, never jump into first release of a software code, unless you require those new features. Wait for a maintenance release to come & then go for it.
Here are few critcal bugs of 7.6.100.0 which does not have a fix yet
CSCum62305 : traffic stops for Mac OS, IOS devices. Other devices working fine
CSCum49200 : Mac wireless clients in RUN state sometimes unable to ping gateway
CSCuj17283 : WiFi clients dropping ARP replies on TID 3 w/ ap3700
I would suggest you to open a TAC case & work with them if you want to stay with this code (specially if you want to get 802.11ac ). Otherwise downgrade to 7.4.121.0 would be the option.

Using Airport Express as separate wifi network vs extender with Time Capsule?

Hello all. I recently converted my home computer network from Windows/PC based to an iMac with Time Capsule. On my previous setup, I had a Cisco/Linksys router with wifi, and I also had two Airport Expresses in separate areas of the house where the Linksys had a weak signal. Obviously, I had the Airport Expresses set up as "separate" wifi networks, as they could not be used as network extenders with the Linksys. This setup seemed to work really good, as the 3 wifi networks provided good blanket coverage in all parts of the house. Each network also seemed to "hand-off" to the other pretty well, meaning that Airport Express 1 would show as the active network when you moved far enough away from the Linksys (or insert any of the network names here, even though I'm pretty sure that the device accessing the network has more to do with this than the networks themselves). In particular, the speeds that I got from the Airport Expresses actually eclipsed the speeds that I would get from the Linksys wifi.
My issue is that after I converted everything, I left the Airport Expresses as "separate networks" and essentially removed the Linksys/Cisco router and replaced it with the Time Capsule. So I still have 3 separate wifi networks, just like before, with the Time Capsule network taking the place of the Linksys wifi network. While the Linksys and the Airport Expresses seemed to co-exist together nicely, I get the feeling that the TC and the AEs are somehow working against each other or at least competing with each other for bandwidth. For example, if I have my iPhone right beside my iMac and TC, and I run a speed test on the iPhone using the TC wifi network, I get download and upload speeds in the range that I am expecting (30-40 mbps download). However, when I walk down the hallway to the other end of the house, the TC tends to remain the dominant wifi network, even when I am in the same room with one of the AEs (this is where they used to "hand off" nicely between networks). When you run a speed test in this location still on the TC wifi, the speed drops down to 5-7 mbps, and worse, I believe the signal becomes inconsistent because webpages and data often seem to be freezing in the middle of downloading. I understand that the distance from the TC is causing this, because my solution has been to manually switch from the TC to the closest AE, and that fixes the issue. Run a speed test after I manually switch to the closest AE when I am in the same room as an AE, and the speeds pop back up to 30-40 mbps.
My question is this: would switching the AEs to "extenders" of the TC wifi network help this issue? Honestly, my laziness was one reason that I did not do this when I setup the TC initially, because I have several devices that access the AE wifi networks that I'd have to update with the new network name and password. Everything was working great before, and I just didn't want to upset the apple cart. But if I have created an unfriendly environment between the TC and the two AEs, I certainly have no problem making the change now. I just wasn't sure if making this change would fix my problem or not. I know it's a mundane thing, but I'd like to be able to roam the house without continuously having to manually switch between wifi networks to get a consistent signal.
Sorry if this is a simple issue. I am admittedly a newbie with the TC and its interaction with the AEs.
Thanks in advance!!

It is not a simple issue.
Exactly which method works best is going to take some experimentation.
The way you are trying to set it up as a roaming network is generally considered the best.. but the devices like iphones do not hand off neatly.
It is interesting that they in fact used to hand off better using the Linksys.. which could be due to its poorer range. The new TC having so much better range is causing the phones to not swap "towers" to the local express.
Test it with a Mac laptop.. as generally they do hand off better.
I cannot quite figure out if you are using roaming correctly. All the wireless should have identical names, with identical security setting and passwords.
The only thing that should be different is wireless channels on each item. And you are likely just using auto anyway.
So each device is creating a wireless network. And for 2.4ghz one should be channel 1, then another channel 6 and another channel 11. For 5ghz it will be same idea but there are more channels available.
When you extend wireless, everything runs the same channel. But the wireless speed is reduced. You must disconnect ethernet to each of the expresses.. and the problem is your 30-40mbps will reduce permanently to 15-20mbps for all clients. So take your choice.. 15-20mbps for all clients forced to double hop is better than 5-7mbps which you experience now when you walk around.. although I am not sure how much browsing you do whilst walking. You may need to compromise which is the better out of several not great alternatives.
I would have a test.. which is wrong btw.. but I have heard that it works.
In your roaming network at the present time. Try setting each router to a manual wireless channel.. and fix all of them the same. So for instance, set 2.4ghz to channel 11. Try fixing the 5ghz as well, say the TC is defaulting to 149, it might not actually respond to manual wireless channels.. you will need to test this.. say set to 36 or 40 and see if the TC is actually changed.. if not just set all the expresses to 149 as well. What you are doing is trying to reinforce the wireless in each area.. but this is actually wrong. So all will have same wireless name and same security wpa2 personal is the only valid one.. and all the same password.
Test with a few clients and see if the results give you decent local speeds as well as better roaming.. once you decide which to do, then you will need to change all the clients.

Can I have two Time Capsules and back up to both?

Would it be possible to have two TC, one at each end of the house and have them share the same network wirelessly? And allow backup to each one independently, so as to have duplicate backups on two units?
Thanks,
Richard

It may be possible with some work-arounds, but I wouldn't recommend it (time machine or apple doesn't support something like this). Backing up wirelessly and duplicating that backup wirelessly will take an incredible amount of time.
I'd set up the time capsule as your main base station and use another airport (like the express) to extend the signal if you're having wireless connection issues.
To make backups of the time capsule drive, the best thing to do is to plug a usb hard drive into it and use the archive function in airport utility. This copies the time capsule disk to the external drive which you can then move to another location.

Two airport express no longer show w time capsule in utility

did the latest update interfere with our two airport express. i did the Mac update install and neither of the airport express show in the configuration. we also had a power outage yesterday for about 5 hours. not sure which is the culprit but after doing the install and rebooting the entire system we still have no airport express devices showing anymore under the time capsule and their lights are solid yellow.

Factory reset them.. they have stopped boot.. (solid yellow) .. it must flash yellow or when setup correctly go to green.
And yes, Yosemite has the worst airport utility and network on any new OS ever released.. ever.. I mean Vista badness.

Time Capsule + Belkin Wireless router, same network to separate slower devi

Alright ladies and gents here's what I got.
I have a Time Capsule and a Belkin wireless n+ router. I want to use my Time Capsule to connect all my wireless n devices using the 5,0GHz band and use the Belkin router using the 2.4GHz band to connect the g devices thus simulating a simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi, of course all in the same network. I want to be able to see the TC disk from the "slower" devices.
Is this possible?
Any ideas on how to configure?

+I want to be able to see the TC disk from the "slower" devices.+

+Any ideas on how to configure?+
We're going to need know how you have things configured now. Is the Belkin router the "main" router at this time?
+I want to use my Time Capsule to connect all my wireless n devices using the 5,0GHz band and use the Belkin router using the 2.4GHz band to connect the g devices thus simulating a simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi, of course all in the same network+
Using the same wireless network name for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, as is done on the Apple "dual band" routers, there will be no guarantee that faster computers will connect to the 5 GHz network if they happen to see a stronger signal from the 2.4 GHz network...which is likely as 5 GHz signals are absorbed much more quickly than 2.4 GHz signals.
Your computer will always connect to the stronger signal...not necessarily the faster signal first, unless you tell it otherwise.

Can time capsule back up two computers running on different versions of OS?

Can I use time capsule to back up both an imac running snow leopard and a macbook air running mountain lion? I don't want to upgrade my imac (for program compatibility issues) but I would need to backup both computers, and would still want them to share the info back and forth.

Yes.

Is there a way to have two separate projects open in different windows?

On my old editing software, I could have two separate projects open at the same time. I could copy clips from Project A, click over to Project B, and paste the Project A clips to Project B. Is there a way to have two separate projects open with Premiere Elements, or will I have to just import and trim every clip within the same project?

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, PrE will not allow two Projects to be open at the same time. It will also not allow multiple instances of PrE to be open.
The workaround, to accomplish what you describe, is to use a ClipBoard Extender, such as ClipMate, which will allow one to Copy a Timeline, or parts of it, from one Project, then Close that one, to Open another one, and Paste the material, that was Copied. Many users employee ClipMate, or similar, to Copy/Paste material from one Project, to another.
Good luck,
Hunt

Two iPhones. One account. Can I have separate calendar alerts?

I have a new 4s. My wife has my old 3GS. We are using the same iTunes/iCloud apple I'd account. It's nice because she can make her own calendar and I can make my own calendar. If I don't want to see her calendar I just deselect it in the calendars to view menu. I can see her stuff if I want to and she mine by going the other way. The problem is Calendar ALERTs. Even if I've deselected her calendar, my iPhone still beeps a reminder at me from one of her Calendar alerts and vice versa. Is there some way to make it so that the alerts only occurr if I've selected her calendar to view?
I also have kinda the same problem with reminders. She gets mine and I get hers even though I've got two separate "lists" of reminders. Can I stop that?
Also a similar deal with contacts. Can we have separate contacts lists and only see the others when we want to?

No, sorry.

Wireless Printer about 25-30 feet from Time Capsule Will it work?

That doesn't sound right. Read and follow Canon's instructions carefully. It seems that configuring it via USB will cause your computers to expect it connected that way. If you want to use it wirelessly be sure you follow instructions for that method and ignore instructions for connection via USB.
I installed the driver's and software, I followed the instructions, it searched for my network, I wasn't sure if I should select "WPA or WPA 2" so I tried both.
it asked me to type in my network password but I had forgotten it so I selected "guest network" I then unplugged the printer from the computer, it said that the wireless connection was good but it still won't print.
I don't have a wifi card in my computer, would that make any difference? Under Print & Fax my Canon printer is listed there.
I'm confused about this. If you're trying to communicate wirelessly, your computer needs to be wireless.
You need to go about this more methodically. Your network name, password, encryption type, etc must all be 100% correct, all of it. If you've forgotten one or more of these parameters, you'll probably want to reset your network hardware and start all over again.

Wireless Time Capsule Backup on Separate Network

Hi Everyone,
I work in a office building that requires a colleague and I to use a wireless network all ready set up throughout the building. We are not able to access the hub of this network and there are no hard-lines though the office space.
We would like to backup two Mac's to a 3TB Time Capsule wirelessly.
Because we can not run the existing network thru the Time Capsule and use the Time Capsule as a router as well as a backup device for our computers, how do we set up the Time Capsule to wirelessly back us up?
I am assuming that I will need to create a unique network on the Time Capsule and whenever we want to back up we will need to log off of our wireless network, connect wirelessly to the Time Capsule, perform a backup, then return back to the wireless network in the office to get back on the internet.
Is this correct or can I set up Time Machine to stay connected to the Time Capsule wirelessly to run regular backups and leave the computer connected wirelessly to the office network?
I will be backing up two MBP's with Retinas and both have Mountain Lion. The Time Capsule is not yet purcahse so I assume it will be the newest one.
Thanks for your help.

Thank you for the reply. I have another option.
We are also given TIM MiFI devices which have unlimmited data plans and often work better than the built-in network and are very fast a 42.2 Mbps. I acutally find myself using this network more often than the built in wireless network.
TIM MiFi as I understand it is 3G.. I presume you are joining to it as a hot spot??
If you join the TC to it as a hot spot, yes you can do that.. hold down the option key when you select wireless mode and you can join.. but that places the TC in the wireless network of the hotspot.. your high speed connection will drop by at least half due to double hop wireless.. ie 42mbps becomes 20mbps..
Also most hotspot should be setup to prevent this. They are not designed to work as a network but as a internet access to public who should not have access to other computers.. Try it btw .. see if you can transfer files between your two macs with both connected to the hotspot.. I doubt it will be possible.
Am I able to connect to this wifi network with the TC (I think this is called client or bridged mode) and then connect my computer through the TC? Or for that matter, what about connecting to the office wireless in the same way?
You can join the TC to the office wireless network. The TC is then available to every tom dick and harry in the building. Although you can password the access.. do you want it available to whole world?? Passwords I think are passed in the clear.. for AFP.. might be wrong but security is not great.
It will also halve the speed.. same as above. due to double hop wireless.. it will reduce your network speed to nothing for as long as the backup is happening. And you cannot connect to the TC wireless.. it is not able to repeat the wireless network, unless it is an Apple router that is providing it.. which is doubtful.

My situation is two separate buildings 100 feet apart. can time capsule provide wireless internet in both?
