Use old apple base stations with a new one

Can I use an Apple extreme base station (A1034) with Apple express base station to use feaures like AirPlay and extend WiFi coverage?
Express station would be the main base then (A1034) would extend its coverage and use features.  Would this work or is it too old?
Jamie

Thanks for the info.
You are going to run into some problems.
The Mac(s) running Mavericks cannot be used to set up or configure the older AirPort Extreme.
But, even if they could, there is no setting on the older AirPort Extreme to "extend a wireless network".
If you could permanently connect the older AirPort Extreme to the AirPort Express using an Ethernet cable, you would have some limited use, but you would need to have a Mac running Leopard, or Snow Leopard, or a PC to be able to set up the old AirPort.

  • How do I merge my old apple ID account with my new one?

    My old Apple ID was linked to a very old email account that I no longer have access to. How can I get all of the music that was purchased using that account to merge into my new Apple ID account using my new email address? Thanks

  • Is there a way to merge an old Apple ID (itunes) with a new one?

    Apparently I have two and my old AppleID/itunes is maxed out on the limited 5 computers per computer. I want all of my music in one place, help?

    No, but if all 5 computers are no longer available and/or aren't being used, you can de-authorize the existing 5 computers at once followed by re-authorizing the computers you are using.

  • How to control an Apple Base Station with 3rd-party wireless card?

    I recently upgraded my early 2004 Power Mac G5 2GHz DP to the 802.11n standard using a Newertechnology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b Wireless PCI Adapter to communicate with my new "n"-standard 2TB Time Capsule. My G5 shipped with an 802.11g-standard Airport Card which I disconnected when I installed the PCI card to avoid hardware conflicts. The new n-standard wireless set-up works without a problem, but having lost the Apple Airport Card, I no longer have the ability to control/manipulate the Timecapsule via the third-party card e.g. I cannot connect/disconnect my internet connection or otherwise troubleshoot the base station.
    So, the question is, how can control an Apple base station with a third-party wireless card? As it stands now, I must boot up my laptop just to see if I have a connection.
    My thanks in advance,

    Thanks for the assistance. Yes, I can indeed administer the Time Capsule from inside the Airport Utility, but I am still unable to connect or disconnect the Internet connection like you can with an Airport card (using the Airport drop-down menu.) If my ISP signal drops for whatever reason (which is does often) I have to boot up my laptop just to reconnect. Is there some feature within the Airport Utility that permits one to connect/disconnect the signal? If there is, I haven't found it yet.

  • In iClouds...How do i change the old Apple ID email to the new one I created??

    In iClouds...How do i change the old Apple ID email to the new one I created with

    Do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

    Contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them. Alternatively, just create a new Apple ID; previous iTunes Store purchases won't be transferred to it.

    Not really. Apple will only give you a 10% discount for recycling for turning in an old iPod and purchasing a new one.

  • How to configure old AirPort Base Stations with current Mac

    Hi everyone,
    I noticed that you can't use the current AirPort Utility to configure old AirPort Base Stations. I'm talking about the pre-Extreme models that only had 802.11b (Graphite and Snow). It won't find them and even entering their IP manually won't let you enter the configuration.
    Copying over the older AirPort Admin Utility from a 10.3 system won't let you configure them either, the app itself runs fine though. You need to use an older PPC Mac with OS 9 or max OS X 10.3 if I recall correctly.
    Is there a way to do it directly from a current Intel Mac running Leopard?
    Thanks

  • Using Airport Extreme Base Station with Cable Modem

    Hi everyone,
    I have just bought an Airport Extreme Base Station. I connected it to my cable modem (Surfboard 3100) through the WAN port and my iMac G4 is connected to it through the Ethernet port. Installed the Airport Utility, and configured the base station with the normal settings of DHCP for Internet and DHCP for internal network.
    After restarting the base station, my Internet connection from the iMac through the base station is very slow and most of the time will time-out. My Internet connection through my PowerBook G4 using wireless through the base station is ok though.
    My question is, is there some setting which I should set for the Ethernet portion of the base station to make my wired connections to the Internet work?
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    regards,
    Weiming
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Hi,
    My iMac G4 does not have an Airport card. I did not physically restarted the base station, its part of the sequence when we update the configuration, that the base station will restart on its own.
    regards,

  • Trouble using Airport Express Base Station with DSL modem, Router and Hub

    About 18 months ago, I had an Airport (802.11b) with WAN & LAN ports and modem hooked up to support two laptops, a Titanium Powerbook G4/600 and G3/400. The setup went from DSL modem -> Linksys router -> to Airport -> Hub (which had desktop and ethernet laser printer plugged in). The network worked fine.
    Then, I got a G4 iBook to replace G3/400. Wanted to get 802.11g to support “g” Airport card in iBook. Got a Linksys 802.11g Wi-Fi with 4-port router for $50. Hooked it up directly with DSL modem. (Couldn’t get it to send out to hub). Hooked the desktop and ethernet laser printer into Linksys Wi-Fi/router. The only way I could use the printer was by having it be a shared printer from the desktop. This was often problematic.
    Two months ago, I got a refurbished Airport Extreme Base Station. I can’t get the AEBS to interface directly with the DSL modem, so I hooked it up as follows:
    DSL modem -> Linksys router -> to AEBS -> Hub. I plugged my Epson 820 (USB) into the AEBS and can see it to print to.
    I have a static IP. That info is entered into Linksys router. Router set as Gateway, with DHCP enabled. AEBS is set to Connect using Ethernet, Configure using DHCP. Network setting: Distribute IP Addresses is unchecked.
    Here’s my issue:
    I can’t see the ethernet laser printer. It will occasionally flash available, but is gone in less than a minute. The printer is HP 2100 series.
    Sometimes I can connect to the desktop G4 tower; most times I can’t.
    I have checked and double-checked the cables.
    Both the printer and desktop are connected to the Hub.
    What can I do so that I can see the HP 2100 series printer and the G4 tower?

    Don,
    Thanks for the suggestions. Glutton for punishment that I am, I tried this again, “just for grins.“ The six other times I tried this, I couldn’t get the AEBS to “see” the Internet. And lo, this time it worked. Here’s the setup now:
    DSL modem -> AEBS -> 4-port hub (which is connected to G4 tower and HP 2100 Ethernet printer). My USB Epson is connected to the AEBS, and I can print from the laptops. AEBS is set up: manual IP info, Network: distribute IP address; share a single IP using DHCP.
    When I still couldn’t see the desktop G4 and the Ethernet HP 2100 connected via the hub (not), I got a flash. I had swapped out the cable a number of times to no avail. Then I realized, the hub is old and all the cables I was using are the new CAT5s. I dug out an old four-wire with RJ45 connectors that my husband made years ago (probably a cross-over cable). It was quite an effort as the cable is 30 ft. long and wrapped around the perimeter of the office behind desks and file cabinets, entwined with all the other wires. But I plugged it in and, Shazam! I am WORKING!
    And, Don, thanks to you, I have eliminated the router from my gaggle of electronic boxes.

  • How do I change my old apple id email to my new one

    I lost/broke my iPhone and I needed to update my password on my apple ID, so after struggling I changed that.  I used that opportunity to also change my primary email to one I now use because I created that Apple ID years ago.  Because I didn't have my phone anymore, I had to change my ID on nearly every device I use (iPad, Mac). Now, I have a replacement iphone, however I can't get my icloud to work because it has the old Apple ID email.  It won't let me sign out of that account or even delete it.  I just want to sign into the icloud with my new email.  It won't let me sign out because I had find my iphone turned on.  How can I change the email on there, or delete that account, or anything regarding the icloud account?
    Please help, any feedback would make my life much less stressful.
    Thanks
