Hi Everyone

Hi Everyone

Thank you

  • Using Time Capsule to Wirelessly Receive Internet and then Extend Network via Ethernet

    Hello,
    Our modem/router combo is located downstairs, and my computer that i want to get online is upstairs. I cannot get a ethernet from the modem to my computer to access the internet, so I wanted to try to use my Time Capsule to help me get online upstairs (not sure if this is possible...)
    My idea was to have the Time Capsule receive the wireless signal and then connect the computer to the Time Capsule through an ethernet so that I may get the computer online. Essentially wireless connection in, wired connection out.
    I've been playing around with the device for a while now, and can't seem to make this work. Has anyone used the Time Capsule in this fashion? Is it even possible? If not, does anyone have any suggestions on how to get my computer online?
    Thank you very much for any help/input!!

    Why not try a pair of these over domestic power loop.

    The Apple solution might well need Two devices to extend range.
    You would retain your ISP router/modem however would go into settings and TURN OFF wireless on that device - you can do this in the Java Web based control panels on most routers.
    Now you sling the Ethernet cable between that router and a purchased Time Capsule device locally and set this up to create a new local Wifi network (Replacing that of the ISP supplied router) . Being a dual band device and being able to broadcast both over 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz frequency base bands simultaneously you could well see improved performance and range straight away.
    However if not then you are going to need a further device an Airport Express set up in bridged mode somewhere between the Time Capsule and your upstairs rooms. Your may have to try various power points and locations to get coverage required.
    Further Airport Express devices can be added in bridged mode as required to cover blind spots, however remember each additional device degrades the overall network performance somewhat.
    Again this will get quite costly.

  • Using AX as a wireless reciever for desktop

    Hello Apple World,
    I have an Airport Extreme (Purchased within last 3 mo.) and I was wondering if i can use it as a wireless receiver for my desktop that has no wireless card. My cable modem has wireless on it and my desktop is in another room. I would like to take my AX and connect to my cable modem wireless and then connect my desktop via Ethernet. Is this possible and how does one set that up. Do you have it extend the wireless then just plug in the ethernet? if that how it works then I would feel kinda dumb. Thanks for the help!

    Well I figured it out.
    Do a factory reset; unplug AX (Airport Extreme) Press reset and plug in while holding reset
    Plug in AX via ethernet to mac computer
    Open Airport Utility and click Manual Setup
    Select "Join Wireless Network" and underneath check Allow Ethernet clients
    Input wireless network info
    AX resets and will blink yellow for a moment while it gets IP Address then goes green
    Thing is up and running i now have wireless printing and internet for my desktop yay!

  • How do I use Airport Extreme to act as a wireless receiver for a Mac Pro?

    Hello -
    I'm trying to use an Airport Extreme (1st Generation) as a wireless receiver for a Mac Pro but I can't figure out how.  My main modem / wireless router (non-Apple) is upstairs.  My Mac Pro is down stairs.  I'm looking to get internet connection for that Mac Pro downstairs.  Is it possible to use the Airport Extreme to connect the Mac Pro to the wireless internet provided by my wireless router?
    Thanks for the help.
    Nathan

    Is it possible to use the Airport Extreme to connect the Mac Pro to the wireless internet provided by my wireless router?
    Unfortunately, Apple designed their routers to work with other Apple routers. It would be extremely unilikely that the AirPort Exteme could be configured to work with a router from another manufacturer.
    The AirPort Extreme would need to be configured to "Extend a wireless network", but an error message is almost surely to occur when you try this.
    There are other alternatives, but they would involve more hardware. Post back if you are interested.

  • WoW Headset Stolen Wireless Receiver

    Greetings,
    I bought my WoW Headset from Amazon, and i didn't had any problems, but i took them to a convention and somehow my wireless receiver was stolen.
    Mailed Creative labs several times, their answer is they don't have parts and can't replace my functioning headset for another for little money, they want me to buy another one.
    So, I have a some of questions:
    - Is there a way to make them work with the usb cord that is included? I don't mind using them this way.
    - Can i use another wireless receiver from another wow headset? If so will someone who something else is not working will sell it to me?
    - Can i buy a 3rd part wireless receiver that can work with my headset?
    Please help me, I really don't want to buy a whole new headset for something that could be replaced at a lower cost.
    Thanks

  • Faxing using a officejet 4500 wireless printer and a verizon wireless phone system

  • HT202124 Is plug in a USB wireless receiver (Logitech Unifying Receiver) prevents Macbook Pro Retina going to standby mode?

    As the title implies, is this prevent Macbook Pro Retina (Mid 2014) from going to standby mode? It's not convenience to unplug the wireless receiver every time I don't use the notebook though.

    That kind of panic can be caused by an adapter for an external display that isn't connected to anything. See this thread.
    There are also reports that the panic may be triggered by waking an external display from sleep. To test that theory, open the Energy Saver preference pane and click the lock icon to unlock the settings, if necessary. Move the Display sleep slider all the way to the Never position on the right. See whether there's any change.

  • Recommend wireless receiver/dongle for 0s 9.1 on PPC7200

    Hi
    I've been dusting off my 7200/120 running OS 9.1 and have installed a Dolphin USB 2.0 pci card and Targus powered hub. I'm wanting to connect the 7200 via wireless to my physical LAN in the other side of the house and have installed a NetComm Super-G Wireless Gateway NB600W. The NetComm works perfectly with a PBG4/OS X 10.4.10 running Airport.
    The 7200's USB is working well and have a number of peripherals running OK including a Logitech LX5 cordless optical mouse (running Logitech's MouseWare software) and Iomega USB Zip drive etc and all work OK. Last thing I need is a wireless receiver either as USB dongle or some sort of device. I've tried a D-Link DWL-G122 dongle but struck out finding any OS 9 drivers.
    can anybody recommend anything? TIA

    The DWL-G122 (there are a number of similar devices on the market) mentioned by Claudio Pompili connects to a USB port. This can be useful for computers without built-in wireless capabilities or without a PC Card slot. Since USB is not primarily intended for networking (and since the Mac drivers may be difficult to find), an Ethernet wireless bridge (sometimes called a gaming adapter) is often a better solution.

  • Wireless receiver for Visio

    I'm wondering if there is a wireless receiver, Creative or 3rd party, for the Vision M (or other mp3 player, for that matter) which would allow you to play music from your PC, or by using subscription services like Yahoo! or Rhapsody.

    *"My question is has anyone gotten this to work on OS X?"*
    You should probably post your question over in the OS X discussions:

  • Can't use Filevault 2 with Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

    Am I the only one who can't get File Vault 2 to work with a wireless keyboard and mouse? It seems that the "Recovery Partition" of Lion which you have to log into in order to enable File Vault 2 doesn't support BlueTooth devices so it's impossible to log in and start the encryption process. And after using a USB keyboard to do the encryption, I now can't log onto the encrypted disk for the same reason.
    I can't believe that nobody else has noticed this, so what am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    I have exactly the same problem; I have an original Apple Wireless keyboard (the older, full-size white and clear plastic keyboard), and a Logitech MX-Revolution mouse, both work just fine using the recovery partition, but don't respond at all for the FileVault login prompt.
    The mouse just doesn't do anything, and if others are getting USB devices to work then my mouse should work since it has its own wireless receiver, masquerading as a USB device, but it's just frozen in place. Meanwhile my keyboard appears to connect normally, but the login screen is completely unresponsive, pressing caps-lock doesn't cause the caps-lock button to light up, even though I know the keyboard works just fine.
    Considering the push for more wireless by default it seems odd that this problem exists, especially when my devices all work perfectly fine for selecting start-up disk, starting up from CD and so-on. Does anyone have a more concrete fix for this? FileVault 2 was one of the features I was really looking forward to but I can't even properly enable it, I'm just fortunate that Lion at least stops the process if you don't log-in successfully the first time.
    As a side note; is the same pre-boot login required if you enable FileVault encryption on a non start-up volume? If not, at what point does the volume become available? I'm hoping to separate my OS and user folders onto my SSD and regular HDs respectively, but if I enable FileVault for my HDs only, will I still need the pre-boot login?

  • Need to use only one sender and receiver communication channel.

    Hello Experts.
    I have a scenario where in I have to use only one sender and receiver communication channel to push files from different source directories to different receiver directories.
    For Eg;
    Sender                              
    D://dir1/file1 --->                  E://dir1/File1
    F://dir2/file2 ---->                 G://dir2/file2
    H://dir3/file3----->                 I://dir3/file3.
    Can this be achieved by using pass through scenario?
    Please let me know if the requirement is not clear.     
    Thanks in advance.
    Advit Ramesh

    Hi Advit,
    I think it is possible. You have to use the Advanced Selection for Source file in the sender channel to define multiple files to be picked up. Also, the Dynamic configuration must also be enabled and used in the mapping so you can manipulate the target directory and target file name based on your source files.

  • I recently upgraded my OS to Lion 10.7.4.  I also just upgraded from a 1st Generation Time Capsule to a 4th Generation Time Capsule.  I have an Airport Express (Version A1264) that I formerly used to extend my wireless network.  AE no longer works.

    I recently upgraded my OS to Lion 10.7.4.  I also just upgraded from a 1st Generation Time Capsule to a 4th Generation Time Capsule.  I have an Airport Express (Version A1264) that I formerly used to extend my wireless network.  Airport Express no longer connects to my network.  I have downloaded Airport Utility 5.6 to try and configure, but with no luck.

    TC first gen was not simultaneous dual band. So.. it's probably best to factory reset your extreme and then tell it to extend again.

    There is no download; you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

  • Can I use a non apple wireless hard drive with time machine?

    Can I use a non apple wireless hard drive with time Machine?

    Some NAS (network storage) systems do claim to support Time Machine, with varying levels of success. For example, the Synology units have this feature. They're not officially supported by Apple, though.

  • Using macbook as a wireless router for non-apple devices

    im trying to use my mac as wireless router for my xbox. i went into share under system preferences, and made a network with a WEP password. I can see the network on my xbox but it requires an IP adress...
    i guess what im really asking is, if the mac can automatically assign IP adresses to devices on the network

    I use my MBP regularly to share internet connection with PCs. Usually the PCs do a 'search' for a network and then 'connect' to the network name set in the Airport options... drop down panel. They get the IP automatically.
    In the system preferences>share> there is a button on the right bottom which says 'airport options..' and in the drop down panel, you set the name or SSID and the WEP key.
    Maybe you should check XBOX settings if the network settings are manual or automatic?
    Hope that helps.
