Option for using touch - no wireless network

I want to purchase an an iPod touch, but I don't have a wireless network set up at my home. What are my options for using an iPod touch at home?

The Ipod even without wifi will work. You will be able to have music and purchase music and download games. I say go for it

  • Can I use the Ethernet Port for a computer when it is also used as a wireless network with an Airport Extreme as the access point for the wireless network

    Can I use the Ethernet Port  of the A1264 Airport Express to connect to the Ethernet port of a computer that does not have wireless capability when the Airport Express is also used on a wireless network with an Airport Extreme 5th generation as the access point for the network?
    I have AE 5th gen
    looking to buy (from ebay) the AEX A1264
    Various computers, printers and hubs for the network
    Is this possible to do?

    Bob, Thanks for the info. I have read different articles that said yes, but I wanted to make sure before I commit to buy. I have an older A1084 which I could not use the Ethernet port. I know at one point I was able to when I was on 10.4. Now that I am on an Intel processor and 10.8 I am going to have to upgrade some of my Apple wireless hardware.
    Thanks Again.

  • Using airport express for itunes and another wireless network for internet

    Is there any way i can use my airport express just for playin music through airtunes, and log onto the internet using a different wireless network?

    Hello bleno567. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Is there any way i can use my airport express just for playin music through airtunes, and log onto the internet using a different wireless network?
    Yes, you just need to configure the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), that will be used to stream iTunes, as a wireless client.

  • Setting up time capsule on a router using my existing wireless network

    how do i set up my existing time capsule to my wireless network.
    Earleir i was using TC as a wireless hub too but i do not intend to do so now . please advise

    Not sure exactly what you mean..
    The best way to setup the TC is plugged in by ethernet to existing router. You can then turn off wireless.. or setup wireless as roaming network.
    See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4260
    It doesn't matter if the main router is apple or not apple, but the same ssid/security setup will work.
    It is possible to extend wireless with another apple router. That has limitations but is much preferred to using non-apple router.
    If you are trying to join a TC to a non-apple wireless network.. it can be done.. but the setup is extremely slow and poor reliability. It is not even available I think as option in v6 airport utility.. it might be in the setup. You can choose it in v5 utility by holding the option key when you choose wireless network mode.. it is so poor Apple do not support it.. and the TC becomes a dumb wireless client.. ethernet ports are shut off.. all wireless is reduced to single band client.
    But there it is if you want to try.. Join a wireless network.. hidden so use option key to reveal.

  • Not giving the option of using Touch ID

    Hi all
    I updated my iPhone 6 last night and now when I go to purchase an app from the App Store it doesn't give me the option of using Touch ID (just my Apple ID password). I have the feature turned on in the settings and I have even added an extra finger print. Maybe something I've overlooked, but I was hoping someone may know about it.
    Thanks

    Don't know if this helps, but Touch ID still works fine to unlock my iPhone

  • Connecting ipod touch to wireless network

    Ipod touch can find my wireless network, and shows full strength bars for connection, however it never gets past ' connecting ' stage for any web address. It just hangs at connecting for about 10 mins, without reaching any web address. I assume the fact that it can find my wireless network, and it appeared to accept the password ok, there must be some other issue, any ideas ?

    Make sure the security key which you are using to connect to your Wireless Network on your IPhone is same as of your Router. It might be due to Incorrect security key used to connect to your wireless network or your IPhone is not accepting the higher level of security Key.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the Wireless tab
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Below change the Security Mode to WEP or WPA Persoanl.  If you have set the Security on your Router to WEP then you need to use "Key 1" password to connect to your Wireless Network on your IPhone along with the "$" sign ($1234567890)
    If you have set the security on your Router to WPA then use your Password to connect to your Wireless Network. These should make your IPhone go Online Wirelessly. 

  • What is the best way to configure AE for use as a wireless bridge?

    I am using an AE to provide airtunes to my living room receiver as well as getting internet connection to my living room PC. The way I have it set up is that I am connecting to my existing wireless network (provided by a dlink dir-655) and then plug in the minijack for airtunes and plug in ethernet cable between AE and PC. I don't have a wireless card in the PC so that's why I connect via ethernet cable/AE.
    The problem is that the speed with the AE connected PC when it comes to the web, is quite slow. Many times Youtube just freezes and sometimes never catches back up.
    I've checked speeds with speedtest.net and my speeds fluctuate an extreme amount.
    Is there a way I should configure the AE better to act as a bridge for my ethernet/AE connected PC?
    BTW, I'm only about 25 feet from the dlink wireless router so connection quality should be fine. As both devices support N, I think things should work better!
    any suggestions?
    Thanks

    The newer 802.11n version of the AirPort Express offer an option to configure the base station as a wireless Ethernet bridge. Again, Apple calls this ProxySTA. You configure for a ProxySTA by having the base station join an existing wireless network AND by enabling the "Allow Ethernet Clients" option, located on the Wireless tab within the AirPort Utility.
    My point is that, as a ProxySTA, the Express will NOT extend the wireless range of your D-Link router. Instead, it WILL allow wired clients to connect to its Ethernet port for network/Internet access.
    In the manual setup settings, I see that there is a wireless setting to extend a wireless network and to participate in a WDS network. Would either of these two be better for what I'm trying to accomplish?
    In this scenario, no ... as a WDS would not work because very few non-Apple routers are WDS-compatible. Most likely, your D-Link is not as well ... so your current configuration is the only option for what you are trying to do.
    It seems that this current configuration should be rock solid, but perhaps I'm not using the proper setup.
    The #1 problem with a ProxySTA is that it does not provide the highest level of bandwidth performance. Typically, for the AXn, the best-to-worst performance would be the following configurations: 1) Wired-to-wireless, 2) Wireless-to-wireless (WDS), and 3) Wireless-to-wired (ProxySTA)
    As you can see, the first option would be the best, but it would require that you connect the AXn directly to the D-Link by Ethernet ... which, of course, would tie-up its only Ethernet port so that you could not connect the PC to it as you require.

  • Add AE for air tunes to wireless network running with AE.

    I am sorry if this is a duplicate.. I did search but it is hard to distill out the different set up issues.
    Previously I had my imac hooked up via ethernet and used an AE to stream my tunes into the living room.
    I got a lap top at work and needed to be able to use it wirelessly at the same time my daughter gave me an AE. so I hooked up the recent AE to my cable modem using an ethernet cable and created a network that both my iMac and my mac laptop use for internet access.
    I forgot about the itunes as I had not been using it alot when the good weather came and I was outdoors so much, using the laptop So today, I try and turn on my itunes to stream into the living room and realize that AE had it's own network set up for streaming and that I needed to get the original AE to talk to the more recent AE, which is in the position of being my wirless hub. So I tried opening A set up utility to see if I can add the AE into the network. Not sure if this is the correct step but thought it was worth a try. But the utility software does not recognze there is this other AE out there.
    What do I do to bring the original AE into the network?
    Michelle

    Try the following:
    Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX that will be used for iTunes.
    o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
    AirPort tab
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    o Wireless Network: <select the existing AX's wireless network>
    Music tab
    o Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    o Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    o iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Can't get Officejet Pro 8500A to print using a Bigpond wireless network

    I phoned Bigpond for assistance and was told that the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A needs to use a wireless router.  Is this the case?  I reinstalled the HP software on the computer but when I selected the Router/Wireless connection wasn't able to detect the network, even though I was logged on to Bigpond.  Would appreciate assistance please.

    Hi Ruski,
    Wireless is just one of three ways you can have the printer attached for printing from your computer. I am unaware specifically what Bigpond is, however a few questions would narrow down which connection type would be optimum:
    What devices do you want to print from?
    Do you have an established wireless network at your home/business where the printer is?
    Are you wanting to use the web services of your printer (ePrint, AirPrint, or Print Apps)?
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
    Although I work for HP, my posts and replies are my own opinion and not those of HP.

  • Which is the best channel to use - on overcrowded wireless network ?

    Hi,
    I've had my Airport Express network going for just over a year with no problems, until the last month when my neighbours have all got Broadband for Christmas and now my network is very unstable and I cannot play more than 2 minutes of music until the network disconnects - I have not changed anything in months because "it just worked."
    I found a nifty utility for my iMac which shows other wireless networks and the strength of the signal.
    Three other networks show up, on channels 1 or 11 they all have stonger signals than me even though they are 10 Meters away through brick walls (my closest neighbours do not have wireless, so I am assuming it must be at least two houses away in either direction.)
    I have changed my network to run on channel 7 and iTunes now streams properly without regular drop-outs.
    Now, I am wondering, my network is set-up as "hidden" and does not show up in the network scanning utility, so logically some of my neighbours may also have "hidden" networks - how can I tell if any of them are using the same channel as me ?
    Anyone got any ideas or advice ?
    Thanks

    I use the 'iStumbler Spectrum widget', which shows me how much congestion there is. After identifying where the most congestion is, its simply a matter of identifying which of the channels without much congestion works best for you. There isn't really a magic formula, though trying different settings until you have a better signal to noise ratio is all I can suggest.
    Also, remember that 2.4GHz phones can also cause increased noise.

  • Apple left out support for 802.11i, secure wireless networking WAP2

    We just bought this iMac from Apple in July, and I'm very unhappy that Apple designed the AirPort networking for one generation earlier security with wireless networking.
    The 802.11i standard, which supports very secure WAP2 without the need for a Radius Server (I believe 802.11i refers to this as personal mode) was adopted by the IEEE in 2004.
    Apparently, 2 years isn't enough time for Apple to get the correct chipset into the computer. This system supports the earlier standards only, WAP and WEP. To achieve the newer standard requires a different chipset in the AirPort hardware. Apple supports 802.11i in the stand-alone AirPort gateways, and may support it in the newer Intel Core 2 Duo systems as well. Grumble, grumble, grumble.
    For Apple marketing and customer support folks reading this, I'd appreciate your thoughts and suggestions on fixing this.

    "I can find no indication of an Apple AirPort product that says it is capable of WPA2"
    mrwheels,
    You sound like someone looking for an argument. I'm not sure what the relevance of your statement really is, and I've also never heard of 802.11i. The only standards I've heard of are "b" and "g," not "i." Why don't you fill me in, as I've been using WPA2 since earlier this year? I believe my system automatically updated to it from WPA during one of the software updates, I think it was 10.4.6 in April, as I specifically recall having one iMac that was encrypted with WPA while another had WPA2. There was some sort of temporary issue that occurred with that setup, but, unfortunately, I can't remember what it was, since it lasted such a short time (the few minutes until I installed the update on the second iMac, as I recall).
    Since the update was not a problem for me, the job of reading the update read-me's to determine exactly when it occurred will have to fall to you. In addition, if you look back at these discussion threads during the time from Jan to April, you will see that there were a goodly number of users who were having severe AirPort connection problems with their Core Duo iMacs. I wasn't one of them. They ALL reported having their problems resolved with the installation of the 10.4.6 software update.
    I am using WPA2 on my four 20-inch Core Duo iMacs [purchased at three different times from two different Apple sources] as well as my G4 iBook and other Macs. They have been using WPA2 on both an AirPort Express base station network, and, at a different location, on an AirPort Extreme base station network, both of which are more than two years old. No matter what Apple's printed materials disclose, WPA2 is in fact supported.
    "Apple is selling products that are 2 years behind in supporting a critical wireless security standard"
    Based on what I've stated, and the fact that there are many Discussions members also using WPA2 with their AirPort base stations, that is baloney:))

  • Legality of using an unsecured wireless network

    If you pop open your laptop and see it has found a wireless connection and you know it isn't a public access point, is there anything wrong with using it?

    j.v. wrote:
    I pay for my own DSL service, and I lock down my wireless access, so I really don't have a dog in this fight, but if it's not considered to be theft of services at Starbucks, then it would seem to me (granted, I'm no lawyer) that it would be incumbent upon the owner of the service to inform the freeloader that it was NOT an open public access point, if the owner doesn't want the freeloader to use it.
    No, as Starbucks is explicitly providing wireless Internet for customer use (and it's not free, either.)
    After such notification is given in writing, then I could see continued use being considered theft of service. I've read the analogies here of "if the front door of the neighbor's house is unlocked, is it okay to take his TV?" But how about this analogy? "If the neighbor sits his 60" HDTV inside the unlocked front door of your house, is it okay to keep/use the TV?"
    This is the same argument posited by the first satellite "pirates" who used the argument that the signals were being broadcast into their backyards so they were free to obtain the equipment capable of receiving and viewing it without paying.
    Though signal providers then scrambled, the "it's being broadcast, I can receive it" paradigm has been shot down in court again and again. Look at analog cell phones in the U.S. - it was illegal to listen to the unencrypted phone calls, and the U.S. Government enforced this by making sale of receivers that could receive the band in question unavailable to the general public.
    A TechRepublic blog (http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/10things/?p=356) stated, in part:
    Many states have criminal laws that prohibit accessing any computer or network without the owner’s permission. For example, in Texas, the statute is Penal Code section 33.02, Breach of Computer Security. It says, “A person commits an offense if the person knowingly accesses a computer, computer network or computer system without the effective consent of the owner.” The penalty grade ranges from misdemeanor to first degree felony (which is the same grade as murder), depending on whether the person obtains benefit, harms or defrauds someone, or alters, damages, or deletes files.
    The wording of most such laws encompasses connecting to a wireless network without explicit permission, even if the wi-fi network is unsecured. The inclusion of the culpable mental state of “knowing” as an element of the offense means that if your computer automatically connects to your neighbor’s wireless network instead of your own and you aren’t aware of it, you haven’t committed a crime — but if you decide to hop onto the nearest unencrypted wi-fi network to surf the Internet, knowing full well that it doesn’t belong to you and no one has given you permission, you could be prosecuted under these laws.
    A Michigan man was arrested for using a café’s wi-fi network (which was reserved for customers) from his car in 2007. Similar arrests have been made in Florida, Illinois, Washington, and Alaska.
    Bottom line - pay for your own Internet and encrypt your network if you have a wireless access point or router to stay legal.

    Is your phone the LG Cosmos, as it says by your profile?   This phone won't work as a phone in the UK (which is GSM, and the Cosmos is CDMA-only).  Don't think is has Wifi either, so Skype is out.
    So choices are to get a "loaner" phone from Verizon's Occasional Global traveller program, http://b2b.vzw.com/international/Global_Travel/index.html 
    or buy a cheap GSM phone in the UK.   There are some great deals, e.g. from CarphoneWarehouse, which are everywhere...
    http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/choose-tariff/ALCATEL-OT-209/PPAY&clearance=false
    This phone costs 3GBP, around $5, you need a 10 pound top up.  And there are many others.  Just make sure it is unlocked, and then  it's easy to find SIMs which cost around 10c per min to the US.

  • Airport Express used to extend wireless network from Linksys?

    I've been asked if I can straighten out a wireless mess at a local church. They have a wireless network in their office (a seperate small building) using a linksys transmitter.
    The church (a seperate building 50 yards away is where they want to extend the network to.
    Currently, I can read the network there on whqat they have now but something is misconfigured and the manufacturer is being of little assistance.
    Has anyone used an Apple Airport Express to extend a 3rd party wireless router? Ive decided it may just be worth the cost to dump the relay they have and simply buy an airport express.
    Suggestions?

    The Linksys WRT54G and WRT54GS (not latest versions v5) are the only 2 known Linksys routers compatible with Apple's WDS.
    So if you are using one of those routers you should be able to do it.
    If you are using a different router it probably will not work.
