Sending Video over the wireless network

I am considering capturing images from a IEEE 1394 camera and sending it over the Wireless network to another computer. The reason we want to do that is to make the
camera device light and portable by connecting it to a portable tablet computer.
What kind of protocol is the best way to transfer the image. The TCP or UDP in labview convert data into string before the transmission which are very inefficient. I just want to streaming the raw image data, maybe with some protocol overhead. Did National Instrument has any package to do that or any other software packages available?
There might be another solution is to use the Ethernet cameras instead of 1394 cameras.
Would it be possible for the Labview application on a remote desktop computer to acquire the Ethernet camera over a WiFi wireless connnetction in between ?
Thanks
Cindy

Hello Cindy,
If you want to transfer data across a
network, TCP would be the most efficient method (wireless is typically not as
successful as Ethernet due to the overhead). There is actually a very useful knowledgebase
document that discusses the various methods used to transfer image data across
a network. If you go to our main site http://www.ni.com and search using the keywords “Images
Over Network”, the first link is entitled Streaming
IMAQ Images Over a Network (or Internet) which gives brief descriptions if
you choose to use TCP/IP, Datasocket, LabVIEW web server, or ActiveX. Another very informative document results in
that same search and is titled Transfer Images Over the Network
which actually gives examples
illustrating different ways to send images. I hope this helps. Please let us know if you would like further
clarification or assistance regarding this issue.Vu D

I have 2 macs and 2 PC laptops in my home wireless network. Can I use the Airport/Time Capsule hard drive to back up all 4 machines? I know that I will have to use different back up software on the PCs, but is it possible over the wireless network?

I have 2 macs and 2 PC (Windows 7) laptops in my home wireless network. (The iMac is hardwired via ethernet to the Airport/Time Capsule; the others are wireless connections using Airport). I want to use the hard disk drive in the Time Capsule as a network backup drive for all 4 computers. Is this possible? Could someone help me by telling me how to configure it? I know I will have to use different backup software in the 2 Windows 7 Laptops? Do I need to use the Windows backup software, or can I use a third party program like Acronis True Image? Thanks in advance for the help

It is your fault, pondini.. all your fault.
I read of all the things that go wrong restoring Time Machine backups.. particularly stupid things like mail, photo libraries don't go back.. etc. And looking through the incredible number of issues people have here, when their Mac finally takes a dive how hard it is to restore.
I restored a test hard disk from a TC.. and it takes ages and ages to even make up its mind to start.
I worked in computer support for ages, but not Macs.. so my experience is ghost.. ghost images.. on large commercial server setups, can stream restore to multiple computers at once.. even doing it computer by computer the image is simple as network boot to restore. But ghost went the way of Symantec.. sigh!! And was destroyed.
A product like clonezilla, Free linux boot cd.
http://lifehacker.com/5078397/clonezilla-backs-up-and-restores-your-disks
Can backup a Hard disk in just about any format.. yet to try it on a Mac to a TC.. but I will. Boot from CD.. instead of your lost Lion partition which no longer exists (because the hard drive had to be replaced) and the DVD they no longer give you, and restore the entire hard disk in a couple of hours .. to the exact image at the point you made the clone.. in any format, with any partitions.
My bet is that it will kill TM .. but you could be right.
It is just the prospect of all those permission changes, photos and mail libraries etc that worry me.

Error Push applications to a BlackBerry smartphone over the wireless network

Dear All,
I have this problem when i try to push application to my blackberry devices :
[CUserView:nUpdateConfigCheck] PIN xxxxxxxx: Configuration check returned error 11
{[email protected], PIN=xxxxxx, UserId=xx}RequestHandler:ollForMissingApps: GetHHCodePackages failed with the error: HHCM_UNKNOWN_ERROR.
Anyone have an idea,
thx all.

First you must get a BIS account from your carrier then you register your phone on the network. Do you have a proper BlackBerry data plan (BIS) on your account? If not, you'll need to call your carrier to get it set up.
I hope I understood your question correctly.

Can Wired Printers Print Over A Wireless Network Through USB Connection to the Router

I have been told by supposed experts that I can use older wired printers wirelessly through USB connections on a router and I have been told by other supposed experts that it does not work. This is what I have and what I am trying to do:
In my new home I have limited space and I dedicated an unneeded closet to office and computer stuff. I rebuilt the closet with shelves and drawers and I added power outlets and phone and coax jacks. I use a wireless HP Pavilion laptop (about a year old) running Vista anywhere in the house. The computer closet has an HP C309 wireless printer, an HP D4260 wired printer, and an Epson Photo R280 printer. I can't get cable or FIOS right now, so I am running the internet on DSL at 3.0MB. That signal goes into a router supplied by Verizon and I jump it over to a Netgear RangeMax Wireless-N Gigabit Router with USB.
There is no particular reason to have the Netgear router in the lineup except that that two networking "experts" (their term -- I have no frame of reference to judge them) said I could connect the HP D4260 and the Epson printer via USB cables to the Netgear router and then send documents to them over the wireless network. When I have these two older printers connected to the Netgear router, the network does "see" them and shows them as network printers. However, no documents ever arrive at them.
As an author, I print thousands of pages a year in draft mode for review and I would prefer to use the HP D4260 as it is far cheaper to operate and it prints far faster and quieter than the HP C309. Connecting it directly to the laptop is not convenient as it is nowhere near where I use the laptop.
Is there anyway to get at least the HP D4260, and preferably also the Epson R280, to print wirelessly via the network by connecting them to the USB port on the Netgear router? If not, I will have to buy a cheap, fast wireless printer, something I really don't want to do.
Thanks.

You did not give the model number of your Netgear, but I am sure that some Netgear routers with USB support USB hard drives and printers, where some models only support USB hard drives.
Either provide your model number or look at your documentation to see if your router actually supports printing.
Also, since you essentially have two routers in your home, make sure that ALL devices (printers and computers) are connected to the Netgear router, not to your DSL router.

Have a 802.11n time capsule, the range of the wireless network has shrunk down to nothing over last few days. Used to be able to use wireless network anywhere in house, but now can only use in my office. Will not connect to iphones, ipad, itouch, or notebook. Worked fine last week, but over weekend just started having issues.

It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that has appeared recently that is preventing your Time Capsule (TC) from providing a clean RF signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible. Look for other Wi-Fis that may be operating nearby. Note those with the strongest signals and which channels they are operating on ... then change the channel used by the TC to be at least 3-5 channels away.

Need help here! I'm out of options. Computer can't see the wireless network

Sorry for the novel, but I have to tell you what is going on with my computer. I also need to vent because I’m extremely frustrated. I want to make sure I give as much info as I can we can get this fixed. I’m done with trying to figure this out on my own!!!
I’m having a major issue with the wireless network connection on my desktop. I’ve tried everything and I can’t figure out what it’s doing.
First of all, my wireless router is set up correctly (according to the Sticky), has active security, and works fine. It has nothing to do with the router. I’m sure of it.
Here’s a quick history:
When I was at my first residence in Chicago and bought a Linksys wireless N router in May 2008. My computer was about 30 feet away from the router and everything worked fine. Always found the router and never lost connection.
I moved to a new place in September 2008 and used the same router, computer, etc. at my new place. The computer was only about 7 feet away from the router this time, but I used the wireless connection instead so I wouldn’t have a network cable lying across the floor. At first everything worked fine. No issues. Then, one day out of the blue, my desktop lost connection with the router. My router didn’t even appear as an Available Wireless Network. I rebooted everything and that seemed to fix it. OK, issue fixed, right? Wrong. It did it again the next day. I rebooted everything, but it still couldn’t find my router. It did see lots of other wireless routers in the area though so I know the wireless card was working. It just didn’t see my router.
This went on for a while. Sometimes it would see my router and connect then it would lose it again. I thought maybe it was the router going bad. Well, I have a notebook computer too so I tried it. It has found my router every time and has never lost connection. I had it sitting on top of my desktop even to see if there was some sort of dead spot in my condo, but the notebook found my router just fine.
Sometimes my desktop would see my router, but it wouldn’t be my network name. It would call it “Home” or something. I know it was my network because it was the only network with maximum (Excellent) signal strength. I’m thinking it must be some sort of association issue. For some reason it doesn’t associate my router as an available network. I don’t understand that.
I tried everything: Ad Aware, Live OneCare, registry cleaners, driver updates, restore points, pretty much anything I found in the forums. Nothing worked for long if at all. It’s like my desktop only finds my router when it wants to. Note: The only thing that would work sometimes was if I clicked “Repair.” Sometimes that would work. I finally gave up and connected my desktop via network cable and unhooked my wireless card. I never lost connection as long as it was hard-wired.
The drama continues. I recently moved to Iowa and set up my network here. I’m using the same router, same desktop and wireless card, same notebook computer, etc. I went ahead and tried the wireless card on my desktop again. It worked just fine! No connection issues at all. It connected and stayed connected. I thought, “Well, that’s strange. It must have been something with the condo in Chicago. Oh well!” It worked fine from February 5 until March 10. Now it’s doing it again!!!! The notebook is about 3 feet away and sees the router just fine.
Here are the facts:
I’m using a Linksys WRT300N Wireless-N router.
I’m using a Linksys Wireless-N PCI WMP300N Adapter (about 18 months old).
I’m running Windows XP on the custom built desktop and Windows Vista on the HP notebook.
I built this computer about 5 years ago and have not done any major upgrades for 2-3 years. The only thing I added was the wireless card. I also changed out the HD in January 2009 and did a data migration right before I moved to Iowa in February. All of the networking issues were going on well before I did the data migration though so it has nothing to do with that. In fact, I had my computer hard-wired into my router at the time of the data migration and the wireless worked fine (for a little while) after I moved to Iowa. So if anything, the data migration seemed to help with my wireless connection.
All drivers are up to date.
Using Windows Live OneCare and have run complete scan: nothing found.
Using Ad Aware and have run complete scan: only found cookies and deleted them but didn’t fix issue.
Ran WinsockxpFix but that didn’t help.
Ran TweakNow RegCleaner Standard but that didn’t help.
Right-clicking the wireless icon, I try to view Available Wireless Networks. The window comes up and shows me other wireless networks in the area (2 available right now), but doesn’t show my network at all. I click “Refresh network list” and 1 or 2 of the other networks will come up, but mine is still not shown.
I’ve clicked “Repair” and get this message: “Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed: Connecting to the wireless network.”
If I go to Control Panel, there is a Wireless Configuration Utility program from Broadcom. When I open that here is what I find:
It is not managing my wireless networks.
Under the “Wireless Networks” tab I see my Network with an “X” over the router icon to the left of it and a locked security icon to the right of it.
No information under the “Link Status” or “Statistics” tabs.
The “Site Monitor” tab shows my wireless network and the other 2 networks in the area (although they drop in and out because of signal strength). My network is always present even though the signal strength bounces up and down. This tab shows that my network is secure, 802.11 is g and n, speed is 270 mbps, Channel is 9, and Signal bounces from orange/red to green. Data encryption is (m)TKIP, TKIP, WPA-PSK.
I was going to use my notebook to post this message since it has been connected for 2 days without ever losing connection. It shows Very Good signal strength and is about 3 feet away from my desktop.
Update: My desktop just connected to my network after sitting there for 2 hours. Good to Very Good signal. Broadcom tool shows the connection and now has information in the Link Status and Statistics tabs.
Cancel that. It just lost connection again. It was only connected for about 5 minutes. There is no change in signal strength according to Broadcom though. In fact, Broadcom shows better signal now that I lost connection.
Now, it just connected again (on its own) after sitting there for 10 minutes! I’ve been surfing the web on my desktop for 45 minutes now and I’m using my desktop to post this message. What the heck?!!! This is what it’s like. Aggravating huh?
Well, that’s all I can think to write. What else do you need? Can anybody help me with this?
I’m confused. Please help!
Thanks a lot!!!
Jake

Thanks but it's just my desktop that doesn't see it though. My notebook sees it everytime, even at the same exact time that my desktop doesn't see it. For example yesterday when I was typing up this post, I was typing up the post on my notebook because my desktop didn't see the router. I don't think it has anything to do with the router actually, but I wanted to see if anyone on here has encountered this issue before. Other forums have similar issues but I've tried all of the fixes I found elsewhere and they didn't work.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

How to work on iMac files from a new Macbook over home wireless network

Hi,
A quick question for anyone who can help. Most of the time I work on my iMac G5. But I've now also got a MacBook, and I want to be able to use that as much as possible (ie not having to be at my desk upstairs at all times).
What I need help with is file sharing. I know that I need to put files into the iMac's public folder for them to be accessible on the MacBook over my wireless network. What I'm not sure, and want to check before doing anything drastic in case I cause unintended problems, is whether there are limits of any sort on what can/should be put in the public folder.
For example, can I just drag my whole Documents folder (or my Work folder within it, about 0.5GB worth) into the Public folder? Would that then mean that I can access all my Work files from either machine?
Apologies if this is a non-query - if it is as simple as just dragging as much or as little as I want into the Public folder. I had just assumed that I'd be able to mark files/folders that I wanted to be visible/sharable over the network - and am a bit wary about shifting the locations on my iMac of huge numbers of my files.
A final follow-on query. I'd ilke to use the DVD burner on the MacBook to back-up my iTunes library (which, again, is on my iMac). Would this again be a matter of relocating the library (even temporarily) in the Public Folder so that the MacBook can see it and back it up?
Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance....

On the iMac - Turn on Personal File Sharing
On the MacBook - In the Finder, click on "Go", then "Connect to Server...", then type in the address of the iMac (you can find this at the bottom of the "Personal File Sharing" window on the iMac).
Click on "Connect" and enter your account name and password for the iMac.
You should get a list of available items to access, at a minimum your home directory (you don't have to use the Public shared folder). If you use Admin credentials, you can mount the hard drive and access the programs you have on the iMac and run them from the MacBook - not all programs will work this way but most of the ones I use work.

How do I send videos to the back?

Ethernet port as a bridge to the wireless network

*Is it possible to use an Ethernet port in MacBook as a bridge to the wireless network* and connect another device to it that will have access not only to the Internet, but also to other services, eg. files on another computer connected to the network wirelessly.

The short answer, would be Yes.
The longer answer requires setting up the computer in the correct
way to do so; and hope that any advice to going there was followed.
And knowing more about your hardware situation may yield better
or easier answers; a better solution to using all the computers.
You can share a network connection through use of settings in the
appropriate System Preferences panels. Other sharing preferences
would probably have to be checked and if necessary, changed.
I never change anything that just works, without good reason, and
so far, since I have no need to share between my computers by wire
or wireless, I have not done so. I do have files on external hard drives
and on USB Flash Drives, and can put stuff on CD & DVD media.
Given that, I don't network my computers over AirPort, Ethernet, or
by FireWire, etc. But others here do. Your HelpViewer in the Mac
can tell you how to network or share internet over ethernet, etc.
More information on your situation is needed to propose answers.
PS: Information you posted in another location would be relevant to
getting a reply here, too... in reference to this post:

Since I've upgraded to Maverick the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

Since I've upgraded to Maverick on my Macbook Pro the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

I have over 250G backed up and I really don't want to reset everything and start again.
Not sure what you mean here.
A reset will not affect any of the data on the Time Capsule hard drive. You would have to perform a completely separate and very deliberate Erase Disk operation for that to occur.
I'm not recommending that you perform a default reset, but it is an option if there is really nothing else to try.
I don't know if what you are seeing is a Mavericks issue or not, since I refuse to use any new software until at least the first major update with fixes comes along.
Another user may be able to offer more input on Mavericks.

Problem sharing videos over home sharing network

I have two computers. They are connected over a wireless network and I have home sharing setup.
I can play music on both computers, and can play what I don't have on one over home share from the other. The same cannot be said of movies. I can see the movies in home sharing. I can even drag and copy them through the network from one machine to the next. The movies will play on both computers once it is actually located on the machine itself. It is my understanding I should be able to stream the movies over home share, without having to transfer the file itself first. I am unable to do so.
Thoughts? Thanks!

This has been a problem for a while. Please report it to Apple.

How do I use a wired computer on the wireless network?

I want to hardwire my desktop to my wireless router. I have a wireless adapter and my computers work fine on the wireless network. If I try to plug in the ethernet cable to the router and disable the wireless adapter, it doesn't work. The light lights up on the front of the router saying that the ethernet cable is plugged in and the 1394 network connection is enabled in the "network connections." However, I cannot ping the router when using the ethernet. On the desktop computer, I look in "view workgroup computers" and there are no computers listed there. On the back of the computer, there is a light that lights up when I insert the cable, so I know the computer has detected there is a cable plugged in there.
They way I set up my wireless network is by using XP's tool under network tasks called "set up a wireless network for a home or small office" (which is found in "My Network Places." I don't know how to combine a wireless network with a wired network. Please help me.
I am using WRT54G. We don't have broadband installed yet.

Correct…I would not mess w/ the bios. Do you have an extra cat5 cable long enough to plug into the back of your router to the back of your PC? Hopefully, it was not taken out when the wireless NIC was installed. Do you see a place to plug in the cable on the back of your PC? It looks like a phone connection jack/ modem, only bigger. If not, what kind of machine, OS (Win 2K, Win XP, etc).

Sharing files with other members of my family on the wireless network

I would like to share my files with other members of my family on the wireless network. Unfortunately, their pcs are MS Windows OS and connected in workgroup type while I am on Mac. I can access internet via the same wireless router but cannot see other members. Can someone advise How I can accomplish it. Thanks!

I don't have personal experience with this, but I was reading this article earlier today, and it seems to address your situation. I think the solution is on page 2.
