What do I do with an old Extreme Flying Saucer and AX?

Hello,
A friend just gave me an old Airport Extreme Base Station (the old flying saucer model, number A1034) and an Airport Express (A1084). We wired our house for a LAN, and I have a Netgear wireless router, so I don't need a primary wireless service. However, I'd like to use both devices to extend my wireless. I could connect both to the router via ethernet. Is this a good use? Should I bother? I'm pretty sure the NGear router is a G, not an N. Blazing wireless speed is not a huge issue. How do I configure each device? Thanks!

With your house wired for LAN, you could use both of the AirPorts, along with your Netgear router, to establish a "roaming" network. With this type of network, you could literally roam with a laptop from one part of the house to another without switching wireless networks.
Basically, you would place the AirPorts at locations where you are not getting a strong wireless signal from the Netgear. Each AirPort would connect to the same Ethernet backbone that ties back to the Netgear, and thus, all of the routers would be on the same Ethernet subnet. In turn, each of the AirPorts would need to be reconfigured as bridges and use the same Network Name (SSID) as the Netgear.

What do I do with my old base station?

I am getting the new base station so I can have network storage - at the moment I have the current base station. What should I do with the old base station when I get the new one? Is there some way I can use it? Is it possible to use it to boost the signal in my home (which is a little erratic from time to time when using Airtunes with my airport expresses)?

Currently it looks like the new AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) does not support WDS so your only option is to use Ethernet to link the 2 base stations to extend the wireless network. Of course any devices connected to your old AEBS would be limited to 802.11g speeds.

What printers are compatible with the airport extreme?

What printers are compatible with the airport extreme?

Virtually any wireless printer will work just fine as well as a printer that connects using Ethernet. If you are looking at an All-in-One type of device....all functions like print, scan, copy, maintenance, etc will be supported.
If you are looking at USB devices, Apple does not provide a list of compatible models, so It is difficult to say with certainly what will work and what will not. In general, most USB printers will work.
But....very important....if you are looking at an All-in-One USB device, you need to keep in mind that only the print function will work when the device is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. Scan, copy, fax, maintenance, etc. will not be supported.
Bottom line...if you are looking at an All-in-One device and you need all of the functions, you need to choose a device that connects using wireless only or Ethernet, not USB.

While installing the CS6 Apps through CC Subscription, what should I do with my old CS4 App

While installing the CS6 Apps through Creative Cloud Subscription, what should I do with my old CS4 Apps still in my Apps folder?
After installing my first 2, Ai and ID, I check the Application Folder and both the newly installed CS6 and my old CS4 versions of each App are in the folder.
Do I just throw away into the trash the CS4 versions? If so, will all my created data files remain intact?
Someone please respond and help, rather than just viewing this, as the many views listed show. Thanks!

Uninstall the CS4 versions properly using the uninstallers that come with them (aliases are in each of the apps' directories). Beyond that it works as it should - newer versions always leave older ones in place. Whether or not you will be able to open all your CS4 files in CS6 we cannot know - yes, newer versions should open older files, but you may be using specific stuff that limits compatibility like certain plug-ins that would need to be upgraded for CS6 as well. For that exact reason you may wanna keep CS4 around a while longer until you can be sure...

What apps are compatible with on old iPod touch?

What apps are compatible with on old iPod touch? Running iOS 4

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

What should I do with my old time capsule since I just upgraded to 2tb?

Hi,
I just bought a 2tb time capsule and now I am wondering what I should do with my old 500gb (still works great) one? Can I keep large, old files that aren't really used but would like to store on my old time capsule? If so, how do I set it up so I can access both at the same time? If I can't do that, then how do I erase all data on the old time capsule so I can sell it? Actually, answers to both questions (in case I find I don't need all that space) would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Erase via the airport utility in the disk section.
I recommend you sell it, they are not reliable after 3 years.

I lost my iPhone 5s and purchased a new phone. A few days later I found the first phone. What can I do with the old 5s? How can I upgrade to a 6?

What do I do with the old phone and can I get an upgrade?
Thanks
Pete

You're gonna have to figure out how to call AppleCare & ask to talk to "Account Security". If your english is not good, then find someone to help you. Be prepared to prove ownership & the fact that you purchased this phone from an authorized source in the US. They "may" be able to help you.
Apple does not provide email support.

What do I do with my old CS4 when downloading the new versions from the cloud?

Do I just uninstall via the control panel on my computer?

if you no longer need cs4, deactivate it (help>deactivate) and uninstall it.
otherwise, leave it installed along with cc. you can use both if you need.

Thank you, Jiri! Do I need to do anything to the old iPod before I recycle it, such as return it to factory settings or delete any music?

What can we do with our old USB760's ?

I liked the durable, slick design of the 760. This Pantech290 looks like a Chinese motor scooter, about as durable, and blocks my close-fitted USB ports on my laptop. (Yeah, I know there's the extension cord, but I seem to loose more connections with it.)
So what can we do with our old USB760's? They've got a perfectly good modem built in, and the 2G Flash drive is great. And I believe they're still selling for $100.00 somewhere.
Any Ideas?

I was going to sell mine but then the 4g system went down and I had to reinstall the 760
so I'm glad I didn't sell it because it is a good backup

I purchased a new Windows 8 PC. I have used and continue to use Outlook 2010 for my calendar. With my old Windows 7 PC and Outlook 2010, my calendar sinked properly with my Iphone 5. Now with the new Windows 8 PC, it does not. Help!

I purchased a new Windows 8 PC and I use Outlook 2010 for my calendar. With my old Windows 7 PC and Outlook 2010, my calendar would sync with my Iphone 5, but with the new Windows 8 PC and Outlook 2010, it does not, and I can't figure out how to snyc them. The emails from Outlook 2010 sync, but the calendar does not. Help! Thanks.

Easy solution for restoring lost calendar informaiton, thank goodness. On your iPhone, go to settings, then to iCloud. If your Calendar selection is turned off, turn it on. Your info should restore. If your Calendar selection is turned on, then turn it off. Choose to save calendars when asked. After it shuts the Calendar off, turn it back on. Your info should be restored.
Thank you to Apple support for walking me through this. Shame on you Apple for not just telling people about this easy fix rather than making us go through all of this pain and worry.

What is the problem with Itunes 11.0.1.12 and adding music to the Library?

What is the problem with Itunes 11.0.1.12 and adding music to the Library? I had no problems when I updated, just had to get used to the new format and appearance. Added a few albums here and there, and then today I can't get anything in the Library. I've always just dragged and dropped my music with no problems. I've had an Ipod for the last six years and never encountered any big problems with Itunes or my various Ipods.

Why is this Itunes such a pile of junk? If I restart my computer I can sometimes find the recently added music in my Itunes Library.
It would be nice to know if other people are having the same problems.

IMac Seagate HD replacement - What do Apple do with the old hard drives?

Hi
A relative has a 2009 iMac and his 1TB Seagate hard drive is covered by the replacement programme. He is concerned what Apple will do with the hard drive when it is returned to them as he does not want any to access his personal items (like docs, photos and emails etc).
He is currently using ML and has everything backed up to an external hd.
He plans to reload Snow Leopard which originally came with his iMac. Using the SL disc, it will give him the option before installing - in Disk Utility to wipe the HD (Gutmann Theory) x 35 times so a very secure wipe. Is this over the top as going to take days to do this to a 1TB drive. Are there any better ways to do this.
We have an Apple store and Apple Premiem Reseller and Support Centre, but the reseller has a faster turnaround for repair. Does anyone know what Apple do with faulty hard drives other than bin them?
Thanks in advance.
Matt

Gutmann algorithm 35-pass secure erase is not available as an option from the GUI, but is still available from command line aka Terminal.
diskutil secureErase
Usage: diskutil secureErase [freespace] level MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode
Securely erases either a whole disk or a volume's freespace.
Level should be one of the following:
        0 - Single-pass zeros.
        1 - Single-pass random numbers.
        2 - US DoD 7-pass secure erase.
        3 - Gutmann algorithm 35-pass secure erase.
        4 - US DoE 3-pass secure erase.
Ownership of the affected disk is required.
Note: Level 2, 3, or 4 secure erases can take an extremely long time.

HT4859 Once I back up my photos music mail etc. to icloud what do I do with that data on my iphone and iPad Delete it for some reason I have a mind **** about this one

I just dont understand icloud I guess. I can't wrap my mind around this one.

Do not delete anything from your devices, if you do it will be deleted from the cloud.
Think of the cloud as the master copy for data you keep synced between devices.
