Need help adding 2nd AExpress to wireless network

hey peeps, i'm adding my second AE to my system, which contains a Macbook, a wireless DSL modem and another AExpress which is wireless and is connected to a stereo. I am having trouble connecting the 2nd AE to the system. Everytime i try to configure it it asks me if i want to switch networks, which i don't want to do. When i do that i lose my connection. I need to tie the new AE in to my current system.

Ok, let's double-check the 2nd AX's configuration to join the wireless network provided by the 2wire.
Temporarily connect AX to your Mac Pro using an Ethernet cable, and then, using the AirPort Utility check the following:
AirPort > Wireless
o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
o Network Name: <existing 2wire's wireless network>
o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
Music
o Enable AirTunes (checked)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
o Verify Password: (optional)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

Need help adding 2nd laptop to router WRT160N

I need to add another laptop to our home network so it can connect to our internet connection. The 2nd laptop shows our home network as an available network connection, however, when I try to connect and enter in the key, the computer gives me a message "please wait while windows connects to the xxxxxx network- waiting for the network" This message stays for approximately 45 seconds then disappears, leaving me at the wireless network connection screen. I have confirmed the network key is correct.
I can connect to the internet if I choose an unsecure connection so I am wondering what other items I need to configure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes, those sound like they should be compatible security modes.
What I'd suggest is to reboot your second laptop and power-cycle the router, see if that helps you to be able to connect both laptops.
If that doesn't help, then write down any configuration data that you'll need to re-enter after resetting the router. There's a recessed reset switch on the back of your router, hold that in for about 30 seconds and release it. This will set the router back to factory defaults, so you'll need to re-enter your configuration data using the router web GUI. Then try again to reconnect with both laptops, and see what happens. Please post the results from trying these.

Need help connecting to my home Wireless Network

I need help connecting my LaserJer M1212nf MFP to my home wirless network. I would like to use Apple's AirPrint, and be able to print from my iPad.
I've spent a few hours following the directions I found on the manuals through hp.com and I've had no luck. I've already unistalled and reinstalled the printer. I've also updated the firmware. If anyone can provide assistance I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

This is NOT a wireless printer (see product spec: http://www.shopping.hp.com/shopping/pdf/ce841a.pdf), you can NOT add the printer to the wireless network. This printer do support LAN connection, so if your wireless router has LAN ports, you can added it to your home network by connecting a network cable from the printer to a LAN port on the router. You need then reinstall the printer as a network printer, to use airprint.

Need help adding wifi to a wired network with multiple hardwired ethernet

Hello all ,
I have a question that I can't seem to find the exact answer for and so I solicit your help.
I am renovating a large old farm which has 4 main buildings, arranged in a line that spans 150 feet in length. I had installed hardwire ethernet to each of the buildings all connected to an ethernet Gigabit switch which is connected top the adsl modem/router. What I wish to do is to connect a wireless access point/borne/or whatever is needed to the ethernet access point in each building giving me wireless capacity in each . My main access point is 100 feet or more from the farthest building and since this a farm dating from 1845 , and made of stone , a 100% wireless networks doesn't seem feasable.
Do I need to use aps? ethernet bridges? any suggestions are very welcome
Saxman

It sounds, based on your network description, that you should be able to set up a "roaming" network by inserting a 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) in each of the farm buildings that are attached to the Ethernet backbone that you installed.
For more information about a roaming network see pages 40 - 41 in the following Apple document: Designing AirPort Networks Using AirPort Utility

I need help setting up my Apple wireless network so that there are no conflicts with IP addresses for any of my devices.

I have 2 Airport Extreme Base Stations, 1 is a 5th generation 802.11n and 1 is a 2nd generation 802.11n. I have 2 Extreme Express Base Stations which are 2nd generation 802.11a/n. The idea is to create a network that works throughout my 2 story house and extend into the garage. It's not a large house 1400 sq ft wood construction. The internet feed comes into the Hughes Net modem upstairs. This is where I want the main base station (5th generation). I eventually will connect a network drive and printer to it. I then want to place the second base station in the room directly under the upstairs room where the main base station is and connect my desk top computer to it. In the living room I will have one of the Express Base Stations connected to the Micro Cell and house stereo system. In the garage (50' away from the living room Express Station & 75' from the Main Base Station) I will place the other Extreme Express Base Station to be connected to the garage stereo system. All of this is with the idea to extend the range of my network for all my devices and airplay to my stereo systems.
Ok, so I have a lot of wireless devices. 2 2nd geneartion iPads, 2 iPhone 4s's, 3 Wi-Fi enabled Sony TVs, Apple TV (near the house stereo Extreme Express), AT&T Micro Cell connected to house stereo Extreme Express, Lorex Security DVR system (connected to main base station upstairs), Whole-House DTV Network system,1 Macintosh Quicksilver Desktop computer, 1 MacBook Pro, and 1 Mac AirBook. As you can see I need a lot of DHCP IP addresses.
So, how do I go about setting this all up? I have read countless articles and discussions but I still have conflicts. It usually mostly, but not limited to, effects my wife's AirBook. Not good at all! I used to have a WDS setup but I understand that the 802.11n Airport Extreme's do not support this. And when I try to distribute a range of IP addresses I run into problems. So can someone please help me resolve this headache?

Configure the Extreme connected to the Hughes Net modem as your router. In other words in AirPort Utility, Network tab > Router Mode should be set to "DHCP and NAT". It will provide IP addresses to all the devices on your network.
All other AirPort devices on your network should be configured as bridges: Router Mode "Off".
You may want to configure static IP addresses for any equipment that is likely to be permanently installed. For them, there is no reason to have the Extreme issue an IP address, and they can keep the same one forever.
The Microcell may be able to connect to the Express's LAN port such devices that have to handle voice or other real time audio or video streaming are generally best installed using a strictly wired connection. The same applies to the Sony TV and AppleTV. Keep them on a wired LAN served by the Extreme, avoiding any reliance on a wireless link if at all possible.
The way to implement a complex network like yours is to add one device at a time. Ensure it connects reliably, then add another. You have a lot of work to do.
WDS can be implemented even with new Extremes but its performance is likely to be so unacceptable that it would be nothing more than an exercise in frustration for you.

Need help adding 2nd hard drive

Hey guys whats up. I need some advice about adding a second hard drive. Right now i have a WD 320GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive running on the primary IDE. Everything is fine but i wanted to get a smaller and faster drive for the operating system and for some small video editing. I recently purchaced a Western Digital Raptor 36.7GB 10,000 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive.
Now the questions:
1. How should i assing the drives? (which master/slave/cable select)
2. Also am i going to have to do anything since im going to have one on the IDE and another on SATA?
3. Any advice that you have...
What i was thinking is this...i should disconect my current HD and hook up the new one to SATA port 2, and set it to master(or CS maybe). Format it and then install the operating system. Once OS installed and working, ill hook back up the IDE drive and make the setting to slave(or CS maybe). Then uninstall the operating system from the IDE.
Thanks for any input

Thanks NovJoe,
What setting (master/slave/cable select) should i set the IDE drive to? And yes i do want my OS on the raptor.
Thanks for your advice...didnt think that anyone was going to.

Adding clients to our wireless network

We just added airport express as our wireless router and need help adding our windows xp laptops to the network. I do not see "add wireless clients from the base station menu" and our laptops do not recognize any apple wireless devices. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have selected 802.11b/g compatible. The network does not come up in when searching for available networks.
The advice I gave you applied to SP2 (at least) of Windows XP. I'll guess that those laptops are at least up to SP2 if not SP3. The only other issue would be whether you've configured AirPort's "Wireless Options" panel to "Create a closed network". That would prevent the AirPort unit from broadcasting its "SSID" and would require that you enter the name of the network when trying to connect. I can't tell you how to reach a screen on XP where you'd do that, but it shouldn't be hard to try that approach.
One other thought: What encryption option have you declared? If you're trying to use WPA2 and those laptops are sufficiently old, it may be that they don't support WPA2. Try turning off encryption temporarily to see if the laptops can connect.
Do I need to install airport express on the laptops?
No. I wouldn't expect that to help.
I do appreciate your help.
You'd probably be more appreciative if I could give you advice that helped!

Need help adding schedule to xcode 4

I need help adding a tour schedule for an iphone app building an app for 13 djs and they want thier tour schedules added these need to be updated monthly is there a way to add this????

I don't know if this is the easiest way but it works for me. I connect the DVD player to my camcorder (so it's the 3 plugs yellow/red/white on one end and a single jack into the camera). Then I connect my camcorder to the computer (I think it's through a firewire port). Then I just play the DVD and the footage is digitized via the camcorder and I import it into iMovie 4 as it's playing. I believe the camcorder is just in VCR mode.
I have also used this method to transfer VHS tapes onto DVDs via the camera by connecting the VCR to the camera.
I haven't had much luck with movies over about 40 minutes on iMovie. But if it's home movies, there may be a logical break. Do maybe 20 minute segments (it's also really easy on iMovie to add a soundtrack if these are OLD films with no sound.
As you can see, I'm low tech!
Good luck!

I need help in setting up a wireless connection

I need help in setting up a wireless connection.
I have a 2005 iMac G5 and currently I am using a Qwest DSL Modem with a Belkin router.
Qwest suggested that I buy a new wireless modem/router. It may be the Motorola 3347 or another wireless modem. I am worried about security when on the internet and have read about changing the SSID password and use the WPA for encryption. All of this is a mystery to me.
Also, I would like to buy from Directv the Linksys wireless adapter to use on my HD-DVR receiver to get their “On Demand Movies.”
My question is, does my iMac G5 have all of the security I need to use a wireless modem, and with the Linksys adapter can I view my photos or DVD’s in iMovie wirelessly to my TV in the living room?
I am concerned about security with a wireless setup, but it seems that all of the new TV’s have the ability to have a wireless connection to the internet.
Any suggestions would help me.
Thanks,
DaisyMay

I need help adding my printer to my home wireless network

My printer was shut down for several months. When i turned it on it was not longer connected to my wireless network. It recognizes my SSID and that of other wireless networks in the area. But I cannot get it connected to my home wireless network.
When I enter my passphrase it returns error "passphrase invalid." If I use the Push Button or PIN set-up I get the error message "WPS timed out."
I have followed the instructions useing the HP Printer set-up disc. It worked on one computer today (it printed a wireless network test report). But, then I could not find the printer on the network later. I also noticed the report does not show a IP address for the printer.
I have also been online with my internet provider and we changed my passphrase 11 times and the printer never recognized any of them. I am operating another printer wirelessly on the same system. By the way, shutting the other printer down did not seem to work. But, they both worked on the network previously.I have also added and deleted the printer several times.
The printer I am trying to add is a HP Photosmart Premium Web C309n-s
I am using a Windows 7 Operating System 64-bit on my laptop and Windows XP 32 bit on the other computers on my home wireless network,
Please help.

Need help adding second laptop to network

Please help. I am so frustrated. I setup our new gateway wirelessly using the WRT160N router. Had to call the help line and they helped me go online and configure the router settings. Now I am trying to add a second older laptop (HP Pavilion ZE4400). When I use the disc to install the router info, it stops after it says waiting for the router. Then I get an error message telling me to restore the router to it's default settings. I don't want to undo all that I did with support on the phone. It took forever. Why can I not install the router software on the HP? Can someone help me fix this problem?
Thanks in advance

If your router is already configured then,do not run the CD on the computer to connect the Wireless Network...Make sure that wi-fi switch is turn ON.
For XP...Click on Start and goto the Control Panel and double click on Network Connections, Right click on the Wireless Network Connection and click on View Available Wireless Networks and select your Wireless Network and click Connect...Now it will give you the opportunity to put the network/wep key, make sure you enter the correct network key and confirm it...It will connect.
For Vista...Click Start >> Control Panel >> Network and Sharing Center >>Click on Connect to a Network and select your Wireless Network and click Connect, it should ask for your Network Key/Password, enter the correct password/network key and click Connect...It should connect...Once you are connected you should restart the computer, it should connect to Internet...

Need help with duplicate print jobs over network that I can't cancel

I have the Photosmart Premium All-in-One on my home network. My kids who each have laptop running Windows 7 and are connected via wireless to the printer via a DLINK DIR-655.
They hit the print button too many times and it keeps printing over and over again.
Is there a way to get the printer to stop printing these duplicates. I tried turning off/on but they just keep printing.
We're wasting paper/ink and I need help with a solution.
Please let me know. Thanks.
Angelo

There should be a button with a red 'X' on it on the front of the printer. This is the print cancel button.

Adding pc to encrypted wireless network

Hello - I just encrypted my airport wireless network. Previously the pc in our house had no trouble using the network. However, now it asks for the WEP key. I don't know what that is. I tried looking in the airport help files, but it doesn't tell me what to put in the pc so it can recognize. It does not accept the password I have chosen to identify the network, so it must be something else. Can someone help?
Thank you!

ok - a bit more clarification.....my husband has a pc laptop, runs XP Pro. He doesn't want to print or share files (he doesn't have the need for that) since his other pc has a direct hardwire connection to the airport & he can utilize all the functions he needs that way.
He just wants the flexibility to be able to get online anywhere in the house for browsing & downloading.
However, we have found out our neighbors are using a wireless network - we are one of two we have seen online. Altho we don't do much financial stuff, we do use bill pay, so I'd rather not have that info accessible.
The password I used when I enabled the encryption is being rejected when he tries to put it in his pc. When he puts this password in it says:
"the network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration. This can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters."
I encrypted the airport at 128 bits....is that the source of the problem?

Adding Express into Exteme wireless network, when Express was previously...

I have been using my Express as my primary basestation. I added an Airport Extreme and now I can not get the computer to recognize the Express. The iTunes don't see it as a possible source of speakers.

Presumably your Airport Extreme is now being used as your wireless network's "base station". Therefore, your Airport Express now needs to be reconfigured to "join" the wireless network being created by your new Airport Extreme. Have you done so? If not, run the Airport Setup Assistant and follow its directions for setting this up.
