Using the TC with another wireless device - non-ethernet

So I have an odd situation, and I'm hoping someone much smarter than myself can lend a hand.
I live in Japan, and my internet is a little unusual. My router now is a cell-style box with no plugs beyond the power supply. It's through a company called eMobile, whom are nortorious for being the kind of company you don't want to work with. Anyhow, this is where I get my internet signal from.
I've bought a new MBP and a Time Capsule to go with it. I am currently expecting to use the Capsule as a wireless backup, and no a router. It strikes me that this will become a pain of having to switch between wireless signals for internet and backups. I was hoping I could link the existing signal, from my eMobile router thing, throug my new TC, and use the Capsule to push out the signal from the other guy. Reading around the web sounds like that's probably not going to work, but I want to check with the experts before I abandon hope.
Speed is not a concern for me. I don't do a lot of streaming or things of that sort, and this network has a bit of a choke problem anyhow. I just want to be able to access the internet through my Time Capsule, but have that pull the actual signal from my no-ethernet-port-having router. I'm happy to give more info about the eMobile box if it'll help, but I don't know what to look for as of now.
Thanks to anyone who looks, and happy New Year.

Unfortunately your investigation is correct.
The TC does not work in the way you would like it to.
You can join it to the wireless network of the emobile. no-ethernet-port-having router
It will be available via the network but at half the speed.. because of double hop wireless and totally reduced to a mere client.
See instructions here.
Join a wireless network.. in v6 utility.

The alternative is to use ethernet.. even if your new MBP is also no-ethernet-port-having computer
Apple sell a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter.
You can run ethernet and wireless simultaneously without having the TC connected to the internet.
See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
You can also buy a cheap USB wireless stick and plug that into the laptop.. obviously you need to buy a mac compatible one.. and then use the stick for the internet.. and use the internal wireless for link to the TC.. or that is how I would recommend as the speed is going to be needed in local network and will not be much on the internet emobile box.

How to use the Ip4s with another carrier network?

Hi,
I bought an IP4S from Walmart without contract (original price). Can I use the Tmobile on it? If not, how can I do?
Thanks,

Yes, but it requires actions that will void your warrenty and presumably can't be explained here. Google it, lots of answers there...

Using my airport extreme with another wireless device to hook up direct tv

can i use my airport extreme and access my wireless router, so that i can hook up my directv box?

Is your intent to provide Internet access to the DirectTV box via an Ethernet connection between the box and the AirPort Extreme Base Station? If so, it the other wireless router another AirPort or Time Capsule? If not, then this would not be possible unless you will be connecting the Extreme to the other router by Ethernet.

Using the iPhone with another SIM???

Hi,
I am really considering getting an iPhone 3GS at the weekend. However I was wondering if it would be fully operational using a sim card other than the one given with it. I know it will be locked to the network but I dont know if its a special sim or whatever. Basically I work for a phone company and I get a unlimited everything package through them so I was going to get the iPhone on pay g and use my sim card. But if i cant access iTunes etc then I dont think I'd bother.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

When you switch SIM cards, you need to re-activate the iPhone (via iTunes). So, you'd need to re-activate when you swapped SIM cards, but it's possible as long as can sync with iTunes and are using a SIM card from the same carrier your iPhone is locked to.

How Do I Connect An Airport Extreme With Password to another Wireless Devic

We have a setup for two different wireless devices so that there are multiple locations that can get online, but the entire setup has no passwords assigned. We would like to assign passwords to both wireless devices so that only the appropriate people are getting online. How does one do this?
The first wireless device that connects directly to the modem from the phone company is a brand new Apple Airport Extreme. The computer that set up the device so that people can get a signal was from a PC that is directly connected to the Airport Extreme via an ethernet cable. Also connected to the Airport Extreme is an ethernet cable that goes (50-100ft) to another wireless device - by Netgear - which then sends out another signal to pick up wireless internet, which is the signal/network that I work from.
If we assign a password to the Airport Extreme, I'm guessing it will complete screw up the connection to the Netgear. How would that be dealt with? And, how could we then, if we wanted, set up a password for the Netgear as well. I've read some initial information on the user guide CD and online, but I don't know the terminology of whether these are networks or just wireless devices 'bridged' together, etc.
My biggest concern, is it works right now, but the owner of the devices wants to put passwords on it and I want to make sure we can keep it working even with passwords. Does anyone know how to easily set up passwords and can I do it from my computer even though they were initially set up by a PC? Or do I have to do it from the PC and if so, how, because I am completely a Mac person and am very unfamiliar with Windows. Thanks.

Question that I need to know now is how do we set up a password on the Apple Airport Extreme now, when it is already set up and working without one?
Open AirPort Utility.
Select your base station, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
Choose a password scheme from the Wireless Security pop-up menu.
Enter the password all users will need in order to join this wireless network.
AirPort Utility 5.1 Help: Password-protecting your wireless network
Also, are there different types of passwords and if so, what is the most reliable one so that we don't lose connections, time out or have any other quirks?
There are different types of wireless encryption. WPA2 and WPA are the most secure especially when used with a non-dictionary password. 128 bit WEP is passable in most situations but not very strong. 40/64 bit WEP is extremely weak.
There is really no general "reliability" issue with any of them. Some devices aren't compatible with some of them.
If when we assign a password to the Apple Airport Extreme and for some reason the Netgear stops working, how do we unassign/take away the password on the Airport to get it back to the current setup that we know does work?
Follow the procedure above but disable wireless encryption instead of enabling it.

How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

HT4314 I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.

Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

HT204291 Help! I cannot see the Airplay symbol on any of my devices anymore! I have tried following all guides and troubleshooting, but to no avail. Just cannot use the AppleTV with any of my devices.

Help! I cannot see the Airplay symbol on any of my devices anymore! I have tried following all guides and troubleshooting, but to no avail. Just cannot use the AppleTV with any of my devices.

Thanks for the link. It didn't work at first on any of the devices but then I decided to enter a manual DNS instead of an automatic configuration. Then followed the steps again from your link and it worked.
It is not stable though as I need to reset the device for it to see the airplay. But when it is connected it stays connected for 30 minutes approx.
Any other suggestions to keep it stable would be fantastic but at least in the meantime I have a workaround.
Thanks

I want to cut out a head from a photo and insert it into another photo again. In the head hair flying in the wind and the blue sky can be seen between the hairs. This blue sky I want to remove, so I can only use the head with hair flying in another photo.

Make your selection and then use Refine Edge.

Thanks, After changing my settings in face time per your suggestion, (it needed to be done), I turned off cellular data and data roaming and made a call using face time. It worked! Great way to stay in touch while overseas without the need for those egregious phone data plans.

When I use my brush tool, it works fine unless I overlap the brush with another brush stroke.

When I use my brush tool, it works fine unless I overlap the brush with another brush stroke. When that happens it turns bright red. How do I fix this and turn it back to the default setting?

I was all ready to say you have fill turned down until I got to the bit about it turning red. Does this happen on a new document with a single layer, or only on multi layer documents? So like cp says... brush or layer mode most probably. I did wonder about Quick mask though.

When I down load books, can I read them on my iPad and iPhone? I went to open a book on my phone but I got a message that aid something about the bill already associated with an appleid. I use the same id for both devices.

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.
