Using multiple laptops and AirTunes with one static IP

I just moved into a place that requires a static IP they provided me. After much tinkering, I finally got the Airport Express to work so that I could get online using my Powerbook. However, whenever I'm on the internet (Airport set NOT to distribute IP addresses), I can't use AirTunes. The moment I change that (whether it's using Airport Admin Utility or changing Network Settings on the Powerbook) and I am able to get online again, AirTunes quits and iTunes can't seem to find the remote speakers again.
I can't even use these both at the same time, and I would eventually like to use AirTunes at the same time as the internet AND be able to connect wirelessly to the internet using my PC laptop. Before moving into the apartment with the static IP, this was possible.
I keep reading about port mapping - perhaps that is the answer? Problem is, I have no idea what that is. Can somebody please explain why this is happening and offer a solution?

a) WEP WPA password, ive never set one up for the airport, where do i find out what this password is for my PC?
You will set up wireless security (WEP or WPA) on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX)..using the AirPort Admin Utility, which is part of AirPort for Windows.
b) Everytime I run the Airport Express Assistant it gives me an error message saying "Windows is not the current network manager...please change Windows to the default", I dont know why I get this error and I assume windows is the one managing the networks I use.
Your PC has wireless capability...correct? The AirPort Setup Assistant requires a wireless connection to the AX.
c) I can connect to the airport through windows, but when in the Airport Management Utility it does not detect the Airport
Connect your PC directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then run the AirPort Admin Utility to configure it.
d) After all this, will Windows and iTunes allow you to stream music thru the Airport Express, like it does on my mac with itunes???
Yes, you will be able to stream iTunes from your PC to the AX, either wired or wirelessly.

How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer

Cannot use double tap and move with one finger to select text in Mountain Lion

I've been using OS X in my Macbook Pro since Snow Leopard, and if I choose "tap with one finger to click", I can use double tap and move with one finger to select text if the cursor is between text.
It works in Snow Leopard,and Lion However, in Mountain Lion, this doesn't work!! I have to click in the bottom right corner of my trackpad in order to select the text.
Can anyone get this fixed ?
Thanks.

Caolei,
I don't know if you'll ever see this, but thank you! I hope this helps somebody else down the line, too.
re. "I can use double tap and move with one finger to select text if the cursor is between text."
I've been trying to figure out how to select text with tapping and without clicking.
This did the trick.
It's quite finicky to not select a space in between words.
Zooming in does seem to help (two finger double tapping in a body of text may trigger a SmartZoom and zoom the current frame of text to fill the screen, if anybody doesn't know this.)
((There's a smartMagnifyWithEvent Cocoa NSEvent that's not universally supported across all applications for noob OS X developers like me.))
I haven't been able to find the part about double tapping between text to begin a selection (which seems to work best when double tapping directly next to a letter) anywhere in the help system on or online. I probably just missed it, though.
Clicking with the built-in trackpad on my MacBook Pro w/ Retina or Magic Mouse just takes too much pressure for an old-time touch typist like me.
As an aside, I've been trying BetterTouchTool and MagicPrefs to enable one finger tap on the Magic Mouse. BetterTouchTool seems to trigger text selection unwantedly and randomly, though.
The whole mystique of Mac / Apple being intuitive and user-friendly seems to be one of the greatest marketing coups / unbelievable con jobs of the last century.
I'm actually somewhat qualified to express an opinion as a software engineer with a degree in Computer Science and programming and user interface design experience in Windows, UNIX, web, Android and other systems, and now OS X and iOS. I could go on and on and on but I won't other to say that I still find Macs buggy and hard to use. I'm now finding that my new iPhone 5 is just as big of a pain (i.e. big thumbs missing landscape keyboard in Contacts.) Of course, I like flexibility and options and custom workflows and more than one way to do things and simply being able to do things at all, so I'm also actually somewhat biased. Sorry for the rant...
Cheers,

Tips needed for multiple iPods and users with one PC...

We are a family of four, with four iPods and one PC. We have two (Windows) user accounts set up. My husband and son share one, and my daughter and I use the other. My husband's and son's music does not show up in my user library and visa-versa. There are some songs that my husband has purchased that I would like on my iPod, but there are songs that my daughter has that I DON'T want on my iPod. Is there a way to set up 4 separate librarys that can choose to share (or not share) songs?
Windows XP

When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library and or user account or
b) Creating multiple user accounts.
Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
Sharing a Library and/or User Account
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish): Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page:
Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library:
Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
Separate User Accounts
Another option (which you've already tried) is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists

Thanks

I'm doing exactly what you want to do. I have a linksys WRT54GP2A-AT (wireless router with AT&T VOIP) downstairs and a WAP54G upstairs. I have the same SSID, same channel, and same security settings. My laptop will connect to the strongest signal. You can bring up the wireless client list on the WRT and see that the laptop is there or not depending on where in the house i am. I walked downstairs from upstairs and move from one wap to the other automatically. Pretty cool.

Use both iPhoto and Aperture with one library-best practice?

I'd like to use both iPhoto and Aperture, but have both programs use/update just one photo library. I have the latest versions of both programs, but was wondering if the optimum approach would be to:
a)point Aperture to the existing iPhoto library and use that as the library for both programs
or
b)import the entire iPhoto library into a new Aperture library, delete the iPhoto library, and point iPhoto to use the Aperture library.
I should point out that up to now I've been using iPhoto exclusively, and have close to 20K photos in the iPhoto library, tagged with Faces, organized into various albums, etc; if that makes a difference...
Appreciate any advice!
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks Frank! I'll try it that way.
Appreciate the help!

Using Multiple Apple TV's with One Account

I am thinking of installing multiple Apple TV's in my home so we can rent/buy movies in different rooms. Is their any limitation of how many can be logged in at one time? Can I be downloading to multiple ATV's at the same time using the same account?

You can connect up to 5 tv's to your itunes library. Yes they can download content from the itunes store at the same time, playback the same or different content at the same time or a mixture of each. You may find though that this can put a strain on some networks and performance may vary.
I have 5, I can't say for sure I've ever had five playing movies together, certainly had 3 and probably 4 and for me they have worked well, albeit my network is a little more than what most people would want to set up.

It is asking for your computer administrator account password to make system changes. You "should" have an administrator account password.

How do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

how do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

I have multiple IDs and use the single computer sharing itunes. By 'sharing' I mean we open the pc, open itunes and log in with our individual ID as required.
While Im logged in I plug in my device. I transfer my purchases from my device as per the file menu (not the check for auto downloads). I move them as required to whichever playlist I like.
Then when my son wants to use itunes or update his device, he logs in, plugs in his device, transfers purchases from his device, puts whatever music he wants into his playlist and/or drags direct to the device regardless of who purchased it and then syncs.
Im not sure how it works associating the pc with only one ID or all that other business- I know I don't fiddle with any of that.

Control multiple updates and queries within one transaction in JPA

Hi,
I have a question regarding control multiple updates and queries within one transaction. We are using EclipseLink 2.3.1. With below code, will I be able to:
- have all insert, update, select queries committed in one transaction;
- queryGetBalance will return the latest OrgBalance after update;
- if one fails, everything rolls back.
Thanks!
Jeffrey
PS: I realized that I cannot use em.getTransaction().begin() and em.getTransaction().commit(), since I am using JTA.
=============
@PersistenceContext(unitName="Test")
EntityManager em;
em.setFlushMode(FlushModeType.COMMIT);
newTransaction.setAmount(1000);
newTransaction.setType("check");
em.persist(newTransaction);
orgAudit.setUpdateUser("Joe")
orgAudit.setupUpdateTime(time);
em.merge(orgAudit);
Query queryUpdateBalance = em.createQuery("update OrgBalance o set o.balance = o.balance + :amount where orgId = :myOrgId");
queryUpdateBalance.setParameter("amount", 1000);
queryUpdateBalance.setParameter("myOrgId", 1234);
Query queryGetBalance = em.createQuery("select OrgBalance o where o.orgId = :myOrgId");
queryGetBalance.setHint("javax.persistence.cache.storeMode", CacheStoreMode.REFRESH);
queryGetBalance.setHint("javax.persistence.cache.retrieveMode", CacheRetrieveMode.BYPASS);
queryGetBalance.getResultList();
em.flush();

Yes, the operation will be in a single transaction, assuming you are using a JTA managed SessionBean and the code is part of a SessionBean method.

Broadband connection with one static ip

Hello Everyone!!
I would like to seek your kind suggestion in mapping static ip address to the local ip address.
We have a bsnl broadband connection, and bsnl has provided us with one static ip address.
We are using broadband modem.
Now I would liket to map this static ip address to one of the private ip address which is 192.168.1.2(database server).
i want to do nat above ips if i do so then i dont have no ip to assign to my outside interface.
I would like to access this device over internet, by typing my public (Static ip ) given by the BSNL.
Kindly let me know how should i configure this modem.
security device i have is cisco ASA 5505.
Need suggestion.
thanks in advance

Hi,
I am afraid that if you are asking for guide to configuring your broadband modem then this is probably not the best section of the Cisco Support Community to do that.
Generall though it would be best if the modem you have was configured as Bridged device and the public IP address was configured on the ASA5505 directly on its "outside" interface. This saves you from a lot of trouble playing with possible NAT configurations on 2 devices.
On the ASA5505 you will basicly be configuring Static PAT and NOT Static NAT.
Static NAT would bind the public IP address to the use of only single internal host.
Static PAT on the other hand would bind certain TCP/UDP ports to some internal host.
So naturally we should first determine which ports you need to forward to the internal host and also what the software level of your ASA5505 is so we know which NAT configuration format to use (version number is shown with the command "show version" or in the main view of the ASDM)
NAT/ACL 8.2 (and older) Configuration format
static (inside,outside) tcp interface 80 192.168.1.2 80 netmask 255.255.255.255
access-list OUTSIDE-IN permit tcp any interface outside eq 80
access-group OUTSIDE-IN in interface outside
In the above configuration we first use the "static" command to configure the Static PAT. The configuration basicly states that we want to forward the TCP/80 port using the "outside" "interface" IP address to the local IP address of 192.168.1.2 and local port of TCP/80.
Finally we make an ACL that allows TCP/80 traffic from anywhere and we attach the ACL to the "outside" interface with "access-group" command. If there is an existing ACL attached to the "outside" interface then you would naturally use that.
NAT/ACL 8.3 (and newer) Configuration Format
object network SERVER-WWW
host 192.168.1.2
nat (inside,outside) static interface service tcp 80 80
access-list OUTSIDE-IN permit tcp any object SERVER-WWW eq 80
access-group OUTSIDE-IN in interface outside
The above basicly does the same as the first example with the older ASA software. There are just noticiable changes in the NAT and ACL configuration formats.
Hope this helps
