One Airport Express, Two Computers

My wife has her own Macbook, and I have my own iMac. We have separate itunes accounts, with home sharing enabled. I have only one Airport Express and it is synced with my iMac. My question is: Can I sync that same Airport Express with my wife's macbook?

yes, both machines can connect to the network your express creates.

  • Two printers linked to one airport express

    we link one HP printer to our airport express and everything is good. We now have one extra HP laser printer and is it possible to hook up two printers to one airport express?
    Could we just buy an USB hub and plug both printers in and is it going to work in this case?
    Thanks!!!

    No it only supports a single compatible USB printer.

  • Only one Airport Express will work at any given time

    Hi,
    I use one Airport Express to connect to the internet and another to stream iTunes to my Stereo.
    I can only get one to work at any given time!
    If I use Airport SetUp Assistant to reconfigure the one that isn't working, it starts and the other stops.
    I can only ever see the current one in Airport Admin Utility.
    Airport SetUp Assistant shows me two.
    What's up?
    Best regards,

  • Controlling 2 different iPad apps (digital mixer and DMX lights) using one airport express

    Hi,
    I'm using an AIRPort Express 802.11n for my digital mixer MACKIE DL1608 which is controlled by my iPad ie. iPad (app is Masterfader) talks to airport express, from LAN out to ethernet to mixer.  My question is: can i use the one airport express to also run another device by using some kind of double LAN out adapter?  I also want the same iPad to controll my DMX lights ie. iPad (app is Luminair) talks to airport express that connects from LAN out to ethernet to lights controller.
    Otherwise if I need to get two seperate airport expresses, are there any complications with having them sitting close to one another (as I will operate them from the same carry case)?
    Thanks in anticipation

    A small ethernet hub or switch should be able to handle that.

  • Can i use more than one airport express to extend the airport extreme?

    my house is too big, and i use one airport express to extend my network,but the other half of the house doesnt get access to the internet.The question is can i use another airport express, without any complications?

    Yes, up to 255 if I remember correctly. But before you do that take a look at the products offered by QuickerTek to amplify the output power of a router and/or add gain antennae to help increase the router's range without the need for adding access points.

  • Hi all - is it really possible to use one license for two computers or is it just a rumor?

    I heard that it would be possible that you can use one license for two computers. Is that the truth? And if so - how does it work?
    Thanks
    K

    Adobe CC or any perpetual previous version allows you to install & activate it two times (on the same computer or other different one).
    As per End user license agreement, only one computer can be used at one given time.

    Hope it helps you.

  • How to use ONE IPod on TWO Computers

    I have an Desktop-PC using ITunes 5.0 and an IPod 20 GB. When I connect my IPod with my Laptop, the complete IPod is deleting by the ITunes on the Laptop. How can I use ONE IPod on TWO Computers without deleting the music hole time?!

    I think you need to manually update on at least the computer that has the smaller music selection.
    it may be best to turn off automatic updates on both machines and manually add and delete songs.
    or you could network both computers to share one music library

  • Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?

    Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?
    I have a catalog with 7000 images we have to process / crop / etc. and I was trying to find a way that two of us could work on the images at the same time.
    Thanks!

    No, the LR catalog is not multi user capable (and cannot reside on a network share without tricks). What you could do is
    export part of the catalog (a subset of all images) into a separate catalog ("Export as Catalog", without exporting the negatives)
    work on different images in the two catalogs at the same time
    re-import ("Import from Catalog") the exported work after adjustments on it is finished

  • I have an airport extreme attached to cable, then one airport express to extend the range. when i try to add an additional airport express to extend range in another area of house, can't get it to work. unility says it has found a new base station

    i have an airport extreme attached to cable, then one airport express to extend the range. when i try to add an additional airport express to extend range in another area of house, can't get it to work. utility says it has found a new base station and asks if i want to use it. if i click yes, then the old setup is disabled.

    Ok, thanks for clarifying which models you have. Please see the following Apple Support article on how to configure these older base stations for a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).

  • Is it possible to extend the range of one airport express with a second airport express?

    Hi,
    We have a Time Warner router and have it hardwired to an Airport Express. Is it possible to extend the range of that one airport express with a second airport express?

    ... The new AirPort Express that I have is an 802.11n version, but the second one is an older model and I don't know which version it might be. Also, the system recently updated so I'm using the AirPort Utility 6.1.
    If you are using Mountain Lion, AirPort Utility 6.1 is the version installed by default. It will not be able to administer "older" AirPort base stations.
    For them, use AirPort Utility 5.6 which contains the features you need. It can administer your older Express as well as current production base stations.
    AU 5.6 is compatible with Lion as well as Mountain Lion, however, the installer app will refuse to install it on Mountain Lion.
    This dilemma is easily solved though. You simply need to extract the app from the installer package using a package extractor like Pacifist.
    Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
    Mountain Lion will not allow you to delete its existing version of AirPort Utility. Just ignore it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist.
    Note: For those with Leopard or Snow Leopard systems you need AirPort Utility 5.6.1 (this is confusing - a later AirPort Utility version for an earlier OS X version - but it is correct).
    Download AirPort Utility 5.6.1 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1536

  • Transmitting to more than one airport express from iTunes

    Are there any plans to update the system so that iTunes can transmit to more than one AirPort Express or An airport Express and the computer at the same time?

    paulcart, Welcome to the discussion area!
    For quite some time, the ability to stream iTunes to multiple AirPort Express (AX) has worked.
    Are there any plans to update the system so that iTunes can transmit to ... An airport Express and the computer at the same time?

  • One Printer - two wireless routers, and one Airport Express

    Hi all,
    I'll do my best to describe this convoluted situation in detail, please feel free to ask questions—I need all the help I can get.
    I am in an office with 5 Macs (some with wireless capabilities: my Intel iMac, a Mac mini, an eMac with a wireless card, and a new iMac running OSx 10.5) and one eMac with no wireless capabilities.
    We're all connected to an Actiontec router. The one eMac is hard-wired via ethernet to the router and the rest of us receive the signal wirelessly through an 2' thick concrete wall that makes for a slow connection. Our printer, an OKIdata C3200N, is also hard-wired via Ethernet to the router, which allows us wireless Macs to print on a crappy, slow connection.
    I got fed up with the slowness and brought in an Airport Express, which is now also hard-wired to the ethernet port and seamlessly and easily connects all the wireless-capable Macs to the internet. It's a joy. However, whenever we wanted to print, we had to switch to the slower Actiontec network b/c the printer was not connected to the Aiport Express.
    I figured I could remedy this by plugging a USB printer cable from the printer to the AX and all the wireless Macs would automatically find the printer through Bonjour. It seemed like a good plan; though I was worried that the printer would be confused by having both the Ethernet connection AND the AX connection (this could be the case).
    Now, I have been able to be on the AX network, find the printer via Bonjour (with Printer Sharing turned on). However, when I print to it (or any of the other Macs in the office try to print to it) a variety of errors happens:
    ...the printer jobs are paused and will not resume (this happens on the iMac running OSX 10.5)
    ...the print queue spools and says "waiting to complete job"
    Do I need to configure something through the Airport Admin Utility? Is this a lost cause because the printer is connected two ways to our computers? Is there any hope for printing on the AX connection?
    Thanks in advance for your input.

    Thank you so much Duane. Can you clarify what you mean by:
    I would recommend returning the printer connection to the original configuration.
    Thanks! I'll look up the other stuff about AX as a bridge (now to remember that AX admin password....)
    Thanks!

  • Two Ethernet Devices One Airport Express?

    I need to connect a non-wireless printer and DirectTV box to my wireless network as they are not located close enough to the router to connect via Ethernet.
    I currently have my printer connected to my Airport Express via Ethernet, and have also been able to connect my DTV box this way as well. However, currently I can't connect both at the same time.
    Is there a way to connect both at the same time? Some kind of mini-router that plugs into the Airport Express?

    I have an old hub, I think the 10/100 type. That should be more than enough for printing, but probably not for the DTV box?
    DTV is still using a 100 Mbps Ethernet port as far as I know, so the old hub should work OK. If you buy a new switch, it would be a good idea to spend a few more dollars and get a Gigabit Ethernet switch. it's 10/100/1000 capable.
    The USB port on the AirPort will probably work...if you want to go through the hassle of setting up the printer.
    If Ethernet is working well now, I would leave well enough alone.  The USB port will only allow for printing....not advanced features like maintenance, scan, copy etc if you have an all-in-one type device.

  • My wi-fi worked fine on Airport Express two days ago.  Now the light is green, but I can't get the Internet on my satellite connection.  I've checked Network Preferences, Aiport Express menu, and the satellite tech support. The Ethernet connection works.

    My wi-fi connection from my iPad via the Airport Express Base Station on my home computer worked just fine until yesterday morning.  I have a Macintosh G5 with a satellite connection.  I could not get an Internet connection.  After using the Network Preferences and Aiport Express applications several times, then unplugging and replugging in the computer, satellite modem and Airport Express module, checking the satellite dish for any obstructions, and so on, the computer still wouldn't connect to the Internet.  (The green light was on in the Airport Express module.)  I called the satellite company technical support division last night.  The tech couldn't find any problem with the satellite connection.  When I plugged the satellite modem cord directly into the Ethernet outlet on my computer, I could pick up the Internet.
    Today, the Airport Express module still has a green light but still doesn't connect to the Internet.  The only thing I can think of is that lights went out for about 15 minutes yesterday morning.  All of my electronics, except the Aiport Express Base Station, are on surge protectors.  Why would the Airport Express module still have a green light if it was damaged by the electrical outage? 
    I bought the module in 2009.  I have never had problems with Apple equipment before this. Is this base station fixable?
    I would appreciate your suggestions.

    Hello everyone.  I too have experienced the same problem Mary described starting on the same day she mentioned January 12.  I have a G5 iMac, a G5 mini-mac, and a G4 laptop.  They were all working fine but all have mostly the same problem now in that the G4 does not connect at all and the G5s connect once in a while after restarts but do not maintain the connection.  In my case there was no power interruption.  In fact, the G4 laptop was not even connected to the home power connection.  My iPad2 and iPhone 4s wireless work fine and a wireless PC and Android tablet work fine as well.  The G5 and G4 work fine on an ethernet connection. ISP tech support (AT&T u-Verse) was very generous with their time in trying to solve my problem although it was established early on that their connection and equipment was working fine and that the problem was with my computers.  They walked me through a manual reset of all the particulars on IP addresses etc. so the problem was not related to that either. In the end ISP tech support concluded that the problem must lie with the Airport driver.  For some reason it changes the IP addresses to an incorrect address so it cannot connect.  Indeed when I tried the diagnostics on the G4 I got a window Pop-up that said an application had reset my settings. (In retrospect I seem to recall that I may have gotten that same message early on with the G5s but at that time I did not think much about it and went about trying to reset the settings but that process never concluded well) I think that the problem may be that there must have been an update of the Airport software that was not backward compatible with the G5 and older Macs.  I mention all this for two reasons.  First, perhaps someone out there who knows better than I do how to bring this to Apple's attention and perhaps they will address this.  Second, I would be curious to know whether there is anyway one can return a configuration on Macs to some earlier time period (as you can on PCs) when everything worked and then leave it that way foregoing any subseqent upgrades or any subsequent apps?
