Can the WAN port be used as LAN when AirPort Express (2nd Generation) is setup to join a wireless network?

Can the WAN port be used as LAN when AirPort Express (2nd Generation) is setup to join a wireless network? (IE: 2 LAN ports)
I haven't been able to get a clear answer on this. I believe the 1st generation would act as WAN/LAN depending on setting, but what happens with the 2nd generation?
Thank you for your time.

If the Express joins a wireless network wirelessly, in other words its WAN port isn't connected to anything, the correct way to connect a wired client to it is by using its LAN port.
I don't know what would happen if you were to connect a wired client to its WAN port instead — it's just not supposed to be used for that purpose. It won't permanently break anything if you were to try it though. If you were, the worst that would occur is that your network would become unresponsive as packets continuously traverse its WAN port in a circular fashion, which might require that you power down your router to reset your whole network.
If you are already using your Express's LAN port and you need another, the way to provide more ports is to purchase an inexpensive ($10 or so) switch. Connect it to the LAN port and as many other pieces of equipment as the switch's available number of ports.
You're correct about the first generation with the single Ethernet port. It could be used in either capacity depending on its configuration.

HT2494 Can the headphone port be used as Mic-In? Can it be switched in settings of the Mac to Mic-in?

Can the headphone port be used as Mic-In? Can it be switched in settings of the Mac to Mic-in?
Same question for Macbook Pro (particularly 2010 13" edition).

what about the new iMac?
I use mic only when working in Sony Vegas and other Sony programs. I'd like to know if I can use proessional Mic with the new iMac and with the old Macbook Pro, probably by connecting it through audio-in port, maybe there is a way to transform it through the settings on the Mac into Mic-in?
If not, then my question is can I otherways use a professional Mic staying in Windows through Bootcamp on a Mac? And the most important - the new iMac, cause that happens to be the only question that stands before me and buying the new iMac.
Maybe I'm a little bit lame in all this stuff, because I'm used to use Windows-based computers to work with audio, but I didnt really understand what all that preamp and Line ment. I know that Line is a super-quality of the sound, guess thats possible to produce only in studios, not even with an extra good Shure mic at home. Or maybe you've been meaning smth else. If you could explane me everything in more easy and detailed way - I would be grateful.

Can USB port be used for USB fan power?

I’m considering helping with the heat issue by getting a Targus 2 fan laptop chill pad. On sale at walmart.com for about $16 + shpg.
Problem is that it is powered by USB and I don’t know if the USB port on the ATV will supply the minimal power that it requires.
Anyone have a clue about this?
24” iMac Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2.33/2GB RAM/256MBV/500/WIKM

Please forgive my impatience with this question.
I remembered that I have a Kensington light. Fly light I think it is called. Anyway, I hooked it to the ATV and it worked.
So the answer to my post, yes it does supply power. Sorry that I didn’t think to check it before posting.

Can longer USB cord be used for Mackie Control Universal Pro?

I've recently purchased *MCU Pro; Apogee Ensemble;* new *Mac Pro* and *Logic Studio*. I am about to hook up the components and load the software. I've heard there are issues/bugs. That aside...
The *MCU Pro* is on a stand with wheels. In one of its operating locations, there's about a 12-foot run to the USB port on the Mac Pro. _Is it possible or recommended to operate the Mackie Control Universal Pro with a USB cord longer than the 9.5 foot cord included with the unit from Mackie?_
Any insights into the current fixes per Mac Pro, Logic Studio, Apogee Ensemble and MCU Pro would be greatly appreciated as well.

Ron - I am having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution???
Thank you for any help.

Can the airport express be used to stream music and act as network "extender" at the same time?

I have a time capsule as my base station but need to improve network coverage in the other end of the house. Have a new airport express that I use for music streaming. Can this airport express be used for both music streaming and "network extension" at the same time, or do I need to buy another product?

Yes, it can. You can either:
Extend a wireless network. The Express needs to be positioned half way between the TC and the area without network coverage, and can be flakey. This is wireless only.
Use Ethernet/Powerline. This is the preferred option (called a roaming network in Apple terminology). This allows for the Express to be placed wherever you want, as long as it reaches the other end of the house.

Is the Microsoft 5MH-00001 Wired Desktop 400 keyboard and mouse compatible with mac mini?

Hello, is the Microsoft 5MH-00001 Wired Desktop 400 for Business mouse and keyboard compatible with the mac mini computer? I tried using a generic mouse and the lights of the mouse were on, but I could not click or move the mouse around. Then when I plugged in a dell keyboard, it said the "keyboard is not identified". I could press buttons on the keyboard, but they werent being registered by the mac. I also tried changing my mouse's usb to a different port, but still did not work. So I am worried that the microsoft wired mouse + keyboard I ordered might not work on my mac mini. Is there a way to get my old keyboard and mouse to work at least?

Were these other ones you tried Wired also? If so that's really strange!?
Did you try rebooting with them connected?
I see no reason for the Microsoft 5MH-00001 Wired Desktop 400 for Business to not work, but then any wired Generic KB should work!???

TS3048 Tiny green light continues to blink and no connection is ever made on the screen for both Keyboard and Mouse

After doing the steps http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048#1 both keyboard and mouse tiny green light continues to blink and no connection is ever made on the screen. What could the problem be? Items are only 4 months old.

Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC. You will need a KB to reset the PRAM, but the SMC may be reset without any peripherals.

Can the Time Capsule be used for scanner sharing?

I have successfully replaced my Linksys router with the Time Capsule and also hooked it to my USB HP 2200 all-in-1 printer. Works great except I can't get my wireless iMac or MacBook to see the HP all-in-1 as a scanner. The "network" printing works great via the TC.
Has anyone successfully integrated with a USB scanner yet?

I have this exact same problem, but only with a different printer/scanner (I even switched from a Linksys router). My printer is the Epson RX595, and as you stated, I can also print wirelessly to it from both my MacBook Pro and PC (connected wirelessly and via ethernet to the TC respectively). Now everywhere I've read is pretty much pointing to the "USB scanning not fully supported with TC", but I was wondering if Apple or Epson would have a solution for this in the future as I bought my printer not too long ago and don't want to have to upgrade just yet. I really want to keep it connected to my TC, since my PC doesn't have to stay on to act as a print server (previous setup).

Can the Apogee Jam be used for vocals?

HI,
I am looking at the Apogee Jam for a simple interface for my guitar... I would like to record some vocals and have an XLR ro 1/4" adapter. Does anyone know if I could plug this into the Apgogee Interface?
I would like to assume the answert is yes, but I am wondering if would cause issues as the Jam was intended for guitar and bass.
Regards...

Could this work, sure the Jam just takes a analog signal and turns it into a digital signal.
Will it work, all depends on the mic you use.. I'm guessing with most microphones the signal will be very week and may not give you good results.
You should get a interface that is designed for both instrument and mic. And if you get a two channel interface you could record both guitar and vocal to their own track at the same time.

Why do I not have access to all the features of my Canon MG5320 printer in all applications which use a printer? The printer has two paper paths. The rear path is used for photo paper and other specialty papers. this is only one "unavailable".

I have an iMac late 2012 with OSX 10.8.
The MG5320 has two paper feed paths; one at the rear for photo paper, brochure paper, and other specialty papers and a tray for regular 8½x11 paper. It also can print on CDs and DVDs and has an automatic duplexer. Canon provides a utility for printing on the CDs and DVDs and also for printing photos and other specialty items. This is available in Mac format also. I installed the most recent drivers and utilities.
I also have a HP IBM Compatible computer on which the above printer as well as an Epson are installed. Every option of each printer is available in every software application that has need for a printer.
The Mac printer dialog varies from one application to another. The only applications that list the option for selecting paper quality which includes photo paper are Office for Mac, Pages, and Numbers. Not likely that I would be using any of these for photo printing. Auto duplexing, however, is not available here or in any other applications.
The print dialog in Aperture, Photoshop Elements for Mac, ACDSee for Mac, or iPhoto provide the choice of numerous sizes of paper but no option for paper quality. Therefore, I attempted to use the print utility supplied by Canon and updated by Apple for printing some photos. The photos are selected in this utility. When the print command was given I was shown a message that the printer was being reset. It then began printing a spreadsheet, which was not even open, from the front tray on regular paper in fast draft quality.
It is essential that the rear feed be available for printing photos. The printer will not accept photo paper from the front tray. The greater proportion of my printing is photos or other specialty items all of which use paper that must be fed from the rear feed.
An acquaintence who considers himself to be somewhat of a Mac expert insists that the printer options that I require are available and all I need to do is look for them. The print dialog should be clear enough that "looking for options" is not a necessity. Even so, I have dilligently searched every variation of the Mac print dialog on my iMac and only the office type applications named above included anything other than the basic printer functions.
I have also searched numerous locations online without finding a solution. I did, however, find that printing and printing problems seem to be common with several versions of the Mac OS and Mac computers in general.
I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with a solution. I have no desire to upgrade my Windows OS to Windows 8 which is perhaps suitable for "smart" phones but not desktop computers. However, because of the printing issue I have temporarily put my iMac aside and reverted to using my PC with Windows Vista.
Help!!

HT1491 Can the iTunes money be used for game purchases

I have been having an issue with the gift card from iTunes. I purchased a iTunes 15$ gift card today and I was hoping to use it for a game I have that allows me to buy things in it but every time I try it tells me there has been a error. What am I doing wrong.

maybe nothing. I'd give itunes support a call/mail and see what they say
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
Is the gift card from the same country you're in? For example, i don't think I can use a canadian iTUnes card on an account in the US.
It's also possible that the gift card wasn't properly activated.
Hopefully they can look that up for you

Can the iphone 6 be used for winter activities?

Will it handle low temperatures and humidity (perspiration when in a pocket inside the outer wind/water proof shell jacket)? My iPhone 4s has often turned off during my cross country skiing (1-2 hours). Putting it in a sealed plastic bag seems to help, but that is so old fashioned when it comes to mobile phones (and fingerprint scanners will not work). Will the iPhone 6 be any more suited for winter sports use, or is it still made for warm and dry weather / indoor only?

Yes u can turn off touch ID in the settings and use a passcode if u want to

Can the same name be used for both an iCal calendar and reminder list?

In iCal, I have a Reminder list named "Home". I have been trying to also give a Calendar the name "Home", but iCal does not seem to want me to do this. When I try to use the name Home for a Calendar, it changes it to the name "Home C" (a name that I gave it when I couldn't get it to let me use "Home"). Is this a restriction within iCal? I have iCal synched with iCloud, which in turns syncs with an app called 2Do on my iPhone. I am not sure if that may be part of the problem.

Yes, it can

Can the same button be used for different things

hi, i want to be able to change what area the player goes to when they press the journey button. but the code i made can only display one message, and that is, "you journey on..."
i want to be able , for each button press, to move the player forward to a new area, is that possible? here is the code so far.
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Button;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
public class Buttondemo extends Applet implements ActionListener{
String msg = "";
String zone = "forest";
String message = "Current zone is" + zone;
Button attack,run, inventory, search, journey ;
public void init(){
attack = new Button("attack");
run = new Button("run");
inventory = new Button("inventory");
search = new Button("search");
journey = new Button("journey");
add(attack);
add(run);
add(inventory);
add(search);
add(journey);
attack.addActionListener(this);
run.addActionListener(this);
inventory.addActionListener(this);
search.addActionListener(this);
journey.addActionListener(this);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
String str = ae.getActionCommand();
if(str.equals("attack")){
msg = "You attack!";
else if(str.equals("run")){
msg = "You run!";
else if(str.equals("inventory")){
msg = "Here is your inventory";
else if(str.equals("search")){
     msg = "You start searching...";
else
     msg = "You journey on...";
repaint();
public void paint(Graphics g){
g.drawString(msg, 6, 100);

Ofcourse its possible. Maybe you wanna consider using an specific actionlistener for the journey button instead of using the common actionlistener.
Like this:
journey.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
          //Move forward...
});
