I am having problems setting up airport extreme.
What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2+  modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

Ok well I have looked around some more and have found this to be the most up to date official response to my question as seen at this link here:
http://www.actiontec.com/support/product_details.php?pid=41#q27
Can I Bridge the Actiontec MI424WR router that Verizon provided, when I signed up for FiOS service?
The MI424WR does not have a bridging option, and neither Verizon nor Actiontec support attempting to bridge it.
The desire to bridge the MI424WR is based on a misunderstanding that it is a modem as well as a router. Actiontec does produce DSL Gateways that have a Transparent-Bridging option, which bypasses or disables the router function and allows the Gateway to act simply as a DSL modem, when it is enabled. Many consumers do not realize that with FiOS, the ONT (typically outside the home) is the device that handles changing the FiOS signal from Fiber to either Ethernet or Coax, and that the Router is just a Router, and if it was bridged or bypassed, it would be a device without a function. For most Verizon FiOS customers their service would completely stop if the MI424WR was bridged, because the Video on Demand service is dependent on it to work.
If your ONT is connected to the Actiontec MI424WR router via Coax, the MI424WR is required due to the Coax connection. But if the ONT is connected to the MI424WR via Ethernet, then in most cases some other router can be substituted for the MI424WR, and it can be removed."
So it looks like I will be calling Verizon support to see about getting the Ethernet connection installed and getting another modem...

  • What type of repeater should I use with my new Airport Extreme?

    what type of repeater should I use with my new Airport Extreme? Thanks.

    If you want to repeat both bands of your dual band AirPort Extreme, another AirPort Extreme would meet these requirements.
    If you only need to extend one of the bands that the AriPort Extreme provides, then an Airport Express would do that nicely.

  • I am using my time capsule to back up and I can not get the green light, what should I do

    Hi everyone
    I posted a quesiton yesterday and when I got up this morning the time machine / capsule (not sure of the difference) had unlocked itself!. The other problem persists and that is that the amber light continues to flash and I can not get the macbook to talk to the time thingy.
    Obviously I am not very good at these things and I live in a country where I-systems knows about as much as I do!
    Thank you

    So you have never actually used the airport utility.. you were almost there.
    You posted this picture.
    Screen+Shot+2013-03-15+at+13.20.55.png
    Click edit button on that page.
    Voila.. airport utility in all its manual setting glory.
    Or install a decent utility.. 5.6.
    This is not required but to my eyes.. it is much easier to understand and has more useful tool items than later versions.. which are made iOS pretty picture like.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
    For screen shots see this post.

    there is no mirror button,  nor is one hidden underneath anywhere.

    Not all apps are enabled for airplay, this is up to the developer to do. If you want to mirror, it cannot be turned on within an app. You need to bring up control centre, select airplay and toggle ON mirroring.

  • I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

    I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The receiver is a Lenovo eHome OVU430006/01 USB IR Receiver.

    Hello,
    You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
    If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
    Best of luck

  • Any tricks to swapping out my old time capsule with a new airport extreme I am also using airport expresses

    Any tricks to swapping out my old time capsule with a new airport extreme I am also using airport expresses?  The hard drive on the TC quit working.

    I do plan on using an external USB HDD for time machine backups.  I have both 802.11g and 802.11n used for playing music via stereos.
    I would recommend against it. Apple does not support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks (USB HDD attached to the AirPort Extreme). Although folks have done so, we get a number of them here asking for help with their corrupted backups. If your backups are critical to you, please use another means (like connecting the USB HDD directly to your Mac) to do so.

    Hi Mike,

The order is still pending processing, which is why you haven't yet been able to log in an use your subscription. It can take 24-48 hours for a subscription to process fully. Once it does, you'll be able to log in and convert files.

  • I just got my first mac pro and I can't get the photos out of iPhotos moved on my hp external hard drive, I try export says unable, then I try to drag it from the desktop to the external hard drive but same problem. Thank you so much

    How is your external drive formatted? Use Disk Utility to check the volume format. If it is NTFS, you will need to reformat the HDD as exFAT in order to retain universal compatibility (RW to it on both Mac and Windows).

    thank you, I have the adaptors so glad that would work.  I just heard adaptors burn out often.  So Just thought for my main iMac computer, a plug would be best.  I will get one once I move.
    Any other suggestions or things I should know about apple products in Ireland.  I know there are no Apple stores there.
    An adaptor doesn't burn out. It merely serves as a means to connect the power prongs on your device to the power supply.
    I believe you are thinking of a transformer, which you do not need. A transformer converts one voltage to another.
    You don't need to do that as the power supply of modern electronics can take almost any worldwide voltage.
    Look at the label on the device. It should indicate the input power acceptable of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
    Additionally, I found the adapters cheaper in the UK than I found them in the US. They were available in most supermarket chains. I wasn't in Ireland, so I can't say one way or the other.
    If you have something that doesn't have that input power spec, it would require a transformer.
    On other items like electric clocks or things with motors, you can connect them up to a transformer and the voltage will be correct, but the frequency may not. For clocks, that will cause them to not keep time well. For motors, they will burn out.

    I forget my security answers and i tried to rest them by sending an email but, i can't get the email. What should i do?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Hi, I am from Mauritius and I can't find my country for the MacBook Bottom Case Replacement Program and hence, can't order the kit. What can I do?

    Hi, I am from Mauritius and I my country is not in the list for the MacBook Bottom Case Replacement Program and hence, can't order the kit.
    What can I do?
    Thank you beforehand.

    There may be an authorized Apple service provider who can handle the matter
    of obtaining a replacement bottom part to the computer in question and also do
    the necessary labor, if your unit qualifies for the program...
    Did you see this section (Apple - Find Locations) and choose your country
    then enter City and Product information to find authorized service provider
    for your Mac portable, as supported by an independent local business?
    There are three categories, not all may be available across your country;
    Sales, Service, and Consulting.
    •Apple - Find Locations - Argentina:
    https://locate.apple.com/ar/es/
    Another selector to try for service & support options appears through this link:
    https://getsupport.apple.com/SASOLocaleAction.action
    The first one above tends to list any authorized retail repair & sales business
    that provides product, service, sales, and repair in the area. With contact info.
    In any event...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I would like to read a text file in which the decimal numbers are using dots instead of commas. Is there a way of converting this in labVIEW, or how can I get the program to enterpret the figures in the correct way?

    The program doest enterpret my figures from the text file in the correct way since the numbers contain dots instead of commas. Is there a way to fix this in labVIEW, or do I have to change the files before reading them in the program? Thanks beforehend!

    You must go in the labview option menu, you can select 'use the local
    separator' in the front side submenu (LV6i).
    If you use the "From Exponential/Fract/Eng" vi, you are able to select this
    opton (with a boolean) without changing the labview parameters.
