Using Sony PSP to control PS3 remotely with Airport

I am trying to set up a Sony Play Station Portable (PSP) to use as a remote controller for a Sony Play Station 3 (PS3). The manual says that my router must support either UPnP (Univerisal Plug and Play) or I need to be able to set up the PS3 via Port Forwarding (also known as Port Mapping or Address Conversion). (The port I need to enable is TCP: 9293).
I looked through the Airport Extreme manual and couldn't find a way to do either.
My Questions:
1) Does the Airport Extreme support either UPnP and/or Port Forwarding?
2) If yes on either one, how do I go about it?
Thanks,
Alan

1) Does the Airport Extreme support either UPnP and/or Port Forwarding?
The AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) does not support UPnP, but it does support the Apple version, known as NAT Port Mapping Protocol. In addition, the AEBS does support port mapping (forwarding).
2) If yes on either one, how do I go about it?
Do you have the 802.11g (dome-shaped) or 802.11n (box-shaped) AEBS?

Not from the iPad, but you can from a computer.

Using an AEBS as a WDS remote to Airport-enabled G5

Is it possible to share my G5 internet connection (via an Airport network) to devices connected to a remote Apple Airport Extreme Base Station via its Ethernet ports?
I created an Airport network on my G5 and turned on Internet sharing. In the AEBS, I set it as a WDS remote and gave it the Airport ID of G5. Unfortunately, two errors are appearing in the AEBS: i) no Internet connection, which is probably due to ii) WDS error.
I've double-checked many things so I'm either missing the obvious, or an Airport-enabled MAC cannot serve as a WDS main. Since there's no obvious way to configure the G5 with WDS, I guessing that's the problem.
Can anyone confirm it can't be done? Or explain how they managed to get it to work?
Thank you,
Andrew.

Sorry, but no, you cannot create a WDS between the AEBS and the internal AirPort card in your G5. You will need a minimum of two AirPort base stations in order to do so.

Using PSP as an itunes remote with Coverbuddy

Has anyone successfully got Coverbuddy to work? I think it is working OK on the mac but the PSP is not seeing it. Actually, can I ask this question here as it is not an apple product? Apologies if I can't.

How can I play music from the icloud using apple tv (2) controled by remote app on iphone so the TV is switched off but stereo on

I was blown away when I started using the new remote app with Apple tv to play music from my iMac on my best music speakers in the living room!!! However there are still 2 things required to make things ultra simple:
1 Not to have my iMac switched on to have to stream music to the Apple tv (I've now started using iTunes Match which has almost fixed this one)
2 Not have to have my TV switched on to control my amplifier through the apple tv. (I can do this using the remote app on the iphone but only for music streaming from my iMac it wont work for music I have in iCloud, apart from music now playing. I can't search/browse any other music)
If this is fixed it will be absolutely awesome!!! As my apple tv will replace all the HIFI separates apart form my amplifier and I can control what music my amp plays using the best user interface in the world my iphone/ipad

Hi, I don't have this bug. I can play music through my apple tv with the TV switched off and use the apple remote app to control the apple tv.
My problem involves:
icloud music ----> broadband router ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier. Using the remote app on the iphone to control whats playing. This almost works but in the remote app you can only see the currently playing song, you can't search/browse your music in the icloud (itunes match).
What does work is:
iMac-itunes music ----> apple tv ---->music amplifier controlled by the remote app in the iphone with teh tv off. I can view my itunes library with the tv off using the iphone remote app. I would like to do this but using my music in iCloud. That would be awesome!!!

Using Sony Ericsson HBH-662 bluetooth headset with skype

Hiya, I have succesfully paired my headset with my mac. The headset's microphone works with Skype, but there is no audio output on this device. Is this possible? Can anyone offer any solutions?

Nopes. I cant see that.
But in Bluetooth devices, I can see my headset configured and paired with the mac, but it is not connected for some reason. The headset stops beeping which means it is connected. But it is not being shown there.
I think there are some connection probs. Ways to find it out ??
please let me know

Trying to use HP All-In-One to scan with Airport.

I just picked up an HP Officejet 6210 all-in-one. I got it set up and plugged into my Airport Extreme Basestation. I did a print test from my (wireless) MacBook and everything worked fine.
Next I tried to open the scanning software. I kept getting a message saying there was no scanning device connected. Then I would plug the USB cable to the Officejet directly into my MacBook and everything worked fine.
I chatted with an HP tech online and they said I would have to use HP's wireless router and get rid of the Airport Extreme to be able to do everything on the Officejet using wireless, and that by using the Aiport Extreme I would only be able to use the print functions and plug in directly whenever I wanted to scan or fax.
This *****. Have any of you run into the same problem? Is there any way to use all of the features (printing, scanning and faxing) of the HP Officejet using the Airport Basestation?
Thanks very much,
Ted Vieira

Can I scan using my all-in-one when it is connected to the USB port of an Airport Express or Airport Extreme Base Station?

Using a Dlink router in bridged mode with Airport Express

I have a broadban connectiond via a Zyxel P-660 wifi modem + router. I have connected the Airport Express to this modem via ethernet and set up a wifi network. The wifi on the Zyxel has been turned off.
Since the wifi signal is weak in the other rooms, I am planning to link up a Dlink DIR-600 router running on the DD-WRT firmware on the bridged mode with the AE.
What settings do I need to have on the Dlink ?

I am planning to link up a Dlink DIR-600 router running on the DD-WRT firmware on the bridged mode with the AE.
If you are planning to have the Dlink device pickup the wireless signal from the AirPort Express and then "repeat" that signal, it is extremely unlikely that this will work.
Apple uses proprietary settings for their "extend" feature, which will only work with other Apple routers. It is....as far as we know....not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.
What settings do I need to have on the Dlink ?
All you can do is try to follow Dlink's instructions to setup the device as a "repeater" or "relay". The DD-WRT Forum might provide some tips. As you might imagine, there will not be much chance of a Dlink user ever seeing your post on an Apple forum.
DD-WRT Forum :: View topic - D-link DIR-600
There are no settings on the AirPort Express to adjust for this other than the obvious setting to check the box next to "Allow this network to be extended" on the Wireless settings page.
Good luck

Software for controlling internet access with Airport Exreme

I'd like to find software that let's me control what pc's in the house have internet access at certain times. My iMac is my main computer, and I use Airport Extreme as my router.

You probably need to set the card up in OSX. Verizon should have a modem script that needs to be installed. (Hard Drive>Library>Modem Scripts). Then you need to set up the card from Network Preferences. Then it should work on both platforms.

Can two macs use same disk for Time Machine backup with Airport Extreme?

Hi
I use a Western Digital disk as a wireless Time Machine backup connected to the USB port on my Airport Extreme and it works great. My question is: can my girlfriend use that same disk for Time Machine backup from HER computer too? (I don't mind formatting the disk if needed.)
If she can't, is it then possible to connect a USB hub and have two disks hooked up to the Airport Extreme?
Thanks for helping. I am constantly in awe of all the help people like you give people like me. Thanks!!!
Jakob

I've gone through the manual setup and the assisted setup and can't seem to get my MacBook to use the Time Machine. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.
Well, as the Jolly Giant points out....+this type of configuration is not supported by Apple+, so it's difficult, if not impossible, to provide a fix for something that Apple says that you cannot do. Reference these Apple Support documents regarding this topic:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2038
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15139.html
Your situation is not unlike other users who try this and find that one computer may backup...(usually for a limited time before corruption issues start to creep in)...but another computer cannot backup. Count me as one of those users who thought that because things seemed to work that I had somehow "beat the system".
I started getting the corruption error messages after 4-5 weeks of successful backups, so I figured that it did not make sense to continue to try to get a second computer to backup (yes, I too could not setup a second Mac to backup).
Sorry, I could not get a second machine to backup, so can't tell you how to accomplish that goal. If you want to continue to try backing up this way, you might want to also think about a second backup strategy...just in case backups become corrupted on the WD drive.
Maybe if Apple says you cannot do this, they just may be right?

Controlling Powermac G4 with powerbook G4 keyboard- oT?

This may be off topic. My questions is this. I have a Powermac G4- dual 867. It has music DSP cards installed(UAD-1 etc). I travel frequently on short road trips and I want to be able to do some writing and mixing while on the road. Several of my projects where created on desktop using DSP card plug-ins which don't exist on my laptop (12in G4). Tha makes for some crashes and inoperability on the powerbook. Sometimes, projects just open without being able to find the DSP plugs- no problem.
I'd like to carry the G4 tower with me but operate the Desktop G4 from the laptop keyboard. Is that possible ? To use the 12" Powerbook g4 as a keyboard only ? Or even better to use the screen and keyboard to boot-in to the Desktop.
That would allow me to run all of my projects from the G4 without having to carry a monitor and keyboard only the tower.
Thanks

Yes, this is possible as long as you will have an Ethernet cable to go between the PB and the desktop. You can remote control the desktop via your laptop using Apple Remote Desktop, or VNC. The former costs money, but the latter is free and already built-in to 10.3 or later (works in 10.2.8 or higher, but you may need to install this if it's not there already).
Go to System Preferences > Sharing > Services and enable Apple Remote Desktop. Then open Access Privileges and check the box that says "VNC viewers may control screen with password" and enter a password. Now your computer can be controlled remotely with a VNC application such as Chicken of the VNC.
As long as you have an Ethernet cable between the two machines, you will be fine. However, you will need to assign IP addresses to both hosts. You could easily set up a new location for both Macs. If you don't really understand networking, just use 192.168.1.1 for one host and 192.168.1.2 for the other. Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and the rest can be left blank. This should get you going.
* Note * The IP addresses above assume that you are using a single Ethernet cable between the two hosts. If you are hooking into a network, it's best to use DHCP if available or find out what the IP address space being used is. You wouldn't want to use those addresses if they were being used by another host.
I have used this method to control Macs remotely, and it works. Sometimes it seems slow, so try it to see if it meets your needs. There is also another VNC server that you could try to use, aptly named OSXvnc. I haven't tried it though.
Good luck!

Controlling Mac computer with Windows computer

Hello.
I'm looking for ways to control a mac computer from a windows, across the internet (not on a LAN).
I've used some programs to do the opposite of this- use a mac to control a windows, with things like Iteleport.
Is there one that will go backwards? Note, I'm not interested in controlling from a mobile device- strictly a windows based desktop/notebook.
I've tried using VNC but i'm having a heck of a time getting it to work.
I'd settle for something like Splashtop or iteleport, but they don't seem to have a windows version of the control app.
Thanks

Using Sony AS-NS-400 Network Speakers and Apple TV

Can you use Sony AS-NS-400 Network Speakers with an Apple TV? If so, how?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple community.
You need to change your audio guy, the notion that your audio is being degraded because it is being transmitted both over optical and HDMI is nonsense.
Check that the setting "soundcheck" is set off in the audio and video settings on the Apple TV. You also might check your "audio out" settings and try adjusting them to see if this makes any difference.

Using my iPod Nano 4GB (2nd gen) with the Fatman iTube's remote control.

I am using the iPod Nano 4GB with my new 'Fatman iTube' valve amp and dock.
http://www.fat-man.co.uk/docs/product/itube_1.htm
All works fine (beautiful sound) but only some of the remote control functions work.
Volume and power off/on and treble/bass work fine but the iPod functions like skip and FF and playlists and menu dont work from the remote control.
The company that make the amp (TLA) and the dealer (Audio T) both inform me that this is a common problem with remote controls on 3rd party iPod dock hi-fi systems and that Apple are not revealing when they will issue a software fix.
It only happens with 2nd gen Nanos. All other iPod types talk with these remotes with no problem.
I have been given a temporary 'workaround' by the manufacturer which is OK for now.
Have any of you had similar problems between the 2nd generation Nano and remote controls on 3rd party (non Apple) hifi systems?
Thanks

PSP, router, and modem issues with Remote Play

Background:
Verizon DSL
Westell 6100 modem
WRK54G router
PS3
PSP
I haven't seen a post on this topic yet, so I'll explain the issue. The Playstation 3 is networkable either through a wired ethernet or wireless connection. The Playstation Portable is also networkable over wifi. The PSP has always worked at hot spots for web surfing and gaming. With the release of the PS3, there was a new feature called Remote Play, which let you connect your PSP to your PS3 and stream the PS3 interface. You can manipulate the options, watch videos and listen to music, just like you are at the controls of the PS3. The PS3 has to be put in "remote play" mode for this to work.
Last week, Sony released an update that made this functionality work over the internet. For most people this worked just fine. Others had to open ports here or there, but there is a group of users that cannot connect from a hot spot, but can connect over the internet at home. The original remote play connection (before the update) was a direct connection between the PS3 and PSP. Now you can connect through your router at home (scan for your router and connect that way). This connection works since the PS3 and PSP are both connected to the same router in your home. When you go to a hotspot, you can get all the way up to the point that the PS3 streamed screen should start, but it times out.
This is taken directly from the PS3 owner's manual:
"If the PS3 system is connected to the Internet via two or more routers, communication may not work correctly."
It seems like internet connection from a hot spot doesn't work because the request for the PS3 gets lost between two routers when it gets to my home network.
Finally to my question. It seems like my Westell 6100 is functioning as a router, as is my WRK54G. When i look at my modem's settings, it is set up as a bridge protocol in routed bridge mode. Everything else I try makes me lose my internet connection.
Anybody know what I'm talking about or have any suggestions?
Thanks

A lot of PS3/PSP owners are having this issue with Remote Play. I have a WRT350N and have been through Sony forum as well as this one to know about all setups from port forwarding to giving your PS3 a static IP and placing in DMZ. I can say I had success connected via or public wi-fi but I also noticed how unstable Remote Play is. There will be times you can connect to it but if you turn your PS3 completely off (not standby) and back on you will pretty much need to setup your PSP again with the PS3 for Remote Play. The problem itself lies more with Sony and not our modem and routers except that fact that you do have to make some minor changes like disable UPnP, forward ports and etc. I own the Sony LocationFree Player which uses a similiar function like Remote Play but instead gives you control over your cable tv remotely anywhere on laptop or psp. LocationFree never failed me since day one because Sony created a DDNS for it which worked for me no matter who my carrier was or what router I have used over the years. Remote Play was introduced later for PS3 which pretty much like LocationFree but Sony doesn't provide a DDNS for it, instead we have to go through all the crazy configurations which is never stable. However you can register for a DDNS at DynDNS.org and configure your router with it which I have done before and found it to be very stable. No matter what Sony still needs to address the issue with the PS3 communication for Remote Play. You can find a lot of info here for setting up DDNS and as for Remote Play your better off going to the Playstation Forums. Good Luck!
