Setting up a home network using the new USB551L modem
I have recently switched from the 3G USB760 modem to the new 4G LTE USB511L modem. Since I live in a very rural area, it is one of the few internet options that I have and I am forced to use it for my home. I previously set up a wireless network using the previous modem by connecting a wireless router to my computer by ethernet cord. I then went under the properties of the connection in order to allow other computers/devices to use the connection. Since switching to the new USB modem, the network does not appear under the list of options when using the Windows 7 network connections icon in the lower right corner of the screen. I am trying to set up a similar wireless network for my house but I am having difficulty. It seems that everything will connect to the wireless router but the router is lacking internet connection. Any advice is appreciated.
Your best Option use th eUSB551L in a Hybrid Router:
The MBR95 will work for your situation plus it has 4 etherent ports if you need it, you can connect your network/wireless printers, android, ipad, ps3, xbox, nintendo wii, DVR, satellite, etc....

Combine it with a Full Band 3G/4G Hybrid Antenna and you got the best of all worlds

I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos and say that I need to upgrade my I photo to a newer version. The old mac has no more support from apple in software update so I am not sure where I should go from here. can I use new soft ware with the old mac
The other part of the upgrade message was a warning that once you upgraded you would no longer be able to open the library with the old version which is exaclty what you did and what happened when you choose to continue
The iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library. Cancel or upgrade.
So now your choices are to not use iPhoto with the previous version using it onky with the newer version, restore your backup from before you did this upgrade or purchase iPhoto Library Manager and use it to rebuild the library using the older version of iPhoto (instructions are on their web site) thereby downgrading it (without projects)

Yesterday I changed my email password on my home computer. Today, I can't get any new emails on my Samsung Galaxy 4; I deleted the email account entirely and tried to set it up again as a new account, using the new password, but it keeps giving me an error message that reads: Cannot safely connect to server. The new password is working on my home computer. I even tried the old password; it just gave me the same error message.
I'm sorry you're having issues with your e-mail account on your phone Rusty1112. Let's figure out what's going on. First, please try deleting account/information again and then restart phone. When phone is back on, try adding e-mail account again, and be sure you're entering exactly as you set up, meaning its case-sensitive. If you're still getting same error, please let us know and let us know what e-mail account it is, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc.
Thank you,

How do I get my Canon MX700 to scan to my new iMAC top? Currently the Canon will print from the iMAC. They are on a wireless home network. The Canon use to scan to the PC using software called MP Navigator.
Did you try scanning using Image Capture?
Otherwise, check the Canon website for updated software. -
Using my Actiontec modem's wifi, it doesn't find my new airport express. Using the new airport express network I just set up it says the ip address is invalid. What can I do to overcome this blinking amber light and error messages?
You need to begin by configuring the AEX to Join an existing network (Bridge Mode.) You can then connect to it using Wi-Fi, but the AEX will not extend your existing network.
If you can connect the AEX to your existing router using Ethernet, then you could use it to Create a new network. Otherwise, if you want to extend your existing network you will need to get a Wireless Access Point - WAP - from a non-Apple product like D-Link. -
I am trying to set up my apple tv using the hospital network. I am able to detect the network and chose it. But the way the system works is that you have to agree to the terms and conditions of using their network before access the internet. How do I accomplish this with apple? Please help.
There are some other options to you, if you're not at home and nobody is using your router you could set it up at the hospital, if this isn't an option you could get a second router and use it. Many ethernet routers are available on the cheap, and ethernet cables are cheap too.
Also, a macbook can share it's internet via the built in wifi it has. See this go to settings-sharing-internet sharing and configure as desired. This may require an internet connection via ethernet. But you should be able to create a wifi network for using something like airplay/home sharing. -
My ipad disconnects my home network even the wire ones eveytime I use the internet
My ipad disconnects my home network even the wire ones eveytime I use the internet (trough apps or browser or even email.)
Everytime (since I update to IOS 5) I try to use the network the ipad disconnects me, none of my other devices can't use the internet. I can use all my other devices while I'm not using the ipad to go to the internet (again, even my wire PC.)
I have followed few advice from here (resetting) and the problem remains the same, right now I'm not using my Ipad at home at all since it disrupts/disconnets/reboot my router I mean what do I need an Ipad for if I can get online. HELP!How about some details on what make, model and version router you have and how it is configured?
What you have sounds like a bug in the router firmware or hardware. Check for a firmware update to your router on the manufacturer's support web pages. If you can't find any get a new router. -
I have transferred my itunes content and playlists to a new computer using home sharing. Now I want to use my new computer only, so need to 'turn off' the old one. What do i do?
Hello shiv99,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have used Home Sharing to play the music from one computer on another, but now you would like to only use the new computer. It sounds as though you have set up the content to share between computers, but have not actually I’m ported the media from the old computer to the new one. I would suggest following the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article to import you music from the old computer to the new one. After that process is complete, you can turn off Home Sharing if you would like and the content will be in the iTunes library on your new computer.

Have a great day,

I am unable to get Lightroom Mobile to work on my home network. The Ipad says "There are no collections to sync, enable lightroom mobile on your computer", but it is enabled. I got it to work one time on another network but not at home where I use Lightroom.
Hi,
could you please give us some info on what kind of network you have?
Can other application communicate with the web?
Thanks,

Using the new iPad, what’s the best way to watch video files (away from home) which are stored on a NAS (WD My Book Live)? Any help would be appreciated!
Before you go, move the files to I tunes and sync them down. There is no viable way to stream from your nas drive to the pad.

Face Time was unavailable, even in SETTING= PHONE, when I updated to the new network settings.
Face Time was unavailable, FACE TIME switch is not even showing in SETTING=>PHONE, when I updated to the new network settings.
There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content. -
Set up a Home Network? How do I do it & should I merge my accounts?
Hi Folks - this is my first post and its quite long, so please bear with me as I give you a bit of history of my problem.
I bought a iMac and hooked it up to a Seagate 500GB hard disk using Time Machine in my study and connect to my ISP via WiFi using a standard router. I then set up two user accounts - one for me & one for my wife and sync'd them both to our MobileMe accounts.
Later I bought a Mac mini to use as a media centre in my lounge. It hooks into my HD TV through the mini-DVI port and I have a Elgato Eye hooked up via a USB port that links up to my Sky HD+ satellite box via a S-Video cable and AV component leads. I'm using a Mighty Mouse and an Apple Bluetooth keyboard via bluetooth. It has no external back-up hard disk and Time Machine is not set-up.
When I set the Mac mini up, I wasn't quite sure what was the best way to set it up, but I used the Apple Set-up function to copy files & settings over WiFi from the iMac to the Mac mini for both user accounts. So I ended up with a compete copy of my iMac desktop/settings/files on my Mac mini with both accounts set-up with access to our MobileMe accounts.
I wanted to change the layout of my dock on the Mac mini to remove some Apps (iWorks & MS Office). When I then subsequently logged into my iMac, the dock there was now different ie. the same as the Mac mini. So in order to keep my iMac dock different from my Mac mini dock, I changed the user account names on the Mac mini to a new naming convention 'Name - Mac mini'.
I only wanted my media files on the Mac mini and all my other docs (spreadsheets, word processing etc) on the iMac, the idea being the iMac becomes a workstation and the Mac mini the media centre.
So I deleted the relevant files off each mac. I then set-up network file sharing on both and can log into either via Finder to be able to get access to retrieve/access any files I need from either Mac - but this only works if both are on. Now I'm not so sure this is the best set-up.
I've now started to fill up my Mac mini hard drive and I thought I would add some more storage and it would be great if I could back up both the iMac and Mac mini via Time Machine to a hard drive. A friend suggested using NAS storage for this as he does that with his iMac & Apple TV.
So here's my two-part dilemma (appreciate your patience so far)....
Dilemma No. 1: - What should I do for my storage solution?
I can see the advantage of moving all my media & documents to the one shared network and being able to access them no matter what Mac I am using without the other having to be turning the other one on.
I'm considering buying something like a Buffalo Linkstation NAS and connecting to the Mac mini via ethernet.
Dilemma No. 2: - What should I do with my multiple accounts? Merge or keep separate?
I get a little fed-up having to go downstairs and switch on the Mac mini to watch a TV show if I am upstairs on the iMac or if we are in the lounge browsing the web and want a file from the desktop iMac I have to run upstairs and switch that on.
I know I could leave them both on sleep mode but I do like to turn them off now and again.
I fI go for a NAS solution, should I keep the accounts separate?
What's the best solution for both my dilemmas and are they interlinked? As an aside, I know very little about home-networking and what equipment I would need and how I would go about setting it up.
Any help you can give [if you're still awake after reading this ] would be most appreciated.
Cheers.I personally suggest the new Drobo FS. Since it has an iTunes server built in and you can use any size sata hard drive in it it is better and a NAS that has to use the same size drives.

I want to set up a home network to be able to watch my movies and litsen to music across multiple platforms. I have movies purchased from itunes as well as movies from my DVD collection that i converted to an .m4v format. I currently have these movies stored on an external harddrive. To watch a movie on my apple tv I have to ensure my external hard drive is connected to my macbook pro, then play the movie on my macbook pro and "mirror" it to my apple tv.
Ideally I would like to be able to watch movies from my collection without having to have my laptop on and work from that. Is it possible to navigate my collection from my Apple TV and play it on my Apple TV. My macbook pro is the machine I primarily use for work and school it is quite the protological nuissance to have to hook all that up everytime I want to watch a movie.
My thoughts are that I could take my old dekstop pc, attach an external hard drive to that and make that my "media storage". If I were to do that would I then be able to watch movies as well as select which movie I want to watch from my library through my apple TV without my macbook pro being in the equation? Or if I should desire to watch a movie from my library through my Macbook Pro, Iphone 4s, and ipad is that possible? I basically want to set up my library to be accessible from any of my devices.
My devices are; the previously mentioned Apple Tv, macbook pro, iphone 4s, ipad 3. I also have a desktop PC running windows 7, xbox 360 and playstation 3 (the xbox and PS3 would be nice if they could too but wouldnt break my heart as they are my roommate's and not mine so I rarely use them.)
Thank you for any help/advice you guys may have!atv's can only access media from
1. a computer which is turned on running itunes
2. the internet
no other options
and NAS's which say they can work as itunes libs don't work -
How do I set up a wireless network using Airport Express
I know very little about networking but want to set up a home network so I can distribute my music in the home using iTunes and AirPort Express units. I am hoping to control the music using Remote on iPod touch. I do not have a network setup or anything. What are the step-by-steps?
Thanks.
Billyhttp://www.apple.com/airportexpress/setup.html should get you going. The on screen instructions for the Airport Utility are very simple and easy to follow.

Is anybody having trouble with your ringer after installing OS 6.0 and using the new GPS system?
The good (?) news is many people are have OS 6.0.1 wifi problems.
I could not connect to my home network. What eventually worked for me (twice now), though it makes no sense, is to go to the particular connection you want to use, hit the little blue arrow on the right to get the details screen. Scroll down to the bottom and change "HTTP Proxy" from "None" to "Auto". Then leave the "URL" field that pops up blank.
This should not work. However, it has for me where many other suggestions have not.
*shrug*
Best of luck.
