Which device can i use to broadcast a wifi signal without internet access?  I want to connect a hard drive to this device and access it from my ipad.

I want to be able to access a hard drive wirlessly from my ipad.  There is no internet available.  Can i make this work?

An AirPort Extreme can do this, as well as a Time Capsule....which is an AirPort Extreme with a built in hard drive.
In either case, you will need an App like Filebrowser installed on the iPad to be able to access the data on the hard drive.  More info on Filebrowser just below:

  • I want to use my 1TB Seagate Hard drive for time machine and transferring files from Mac to PC.

    For about a year I've been using my 1TB external hard drive for only time machine. To be honest, it wasn't until today that I tried to connect my hard drive to a PC and realize it isn't compatible. I read about partitioning the hard drive so that it can work both for time machine and transferring files between pc and mac. I'm not what you would call tech savvy, so I was wondering if I can get some advice on how to do this.
    Thanks in advance.

    To do it, you have to partition the hard disk, so you will have one partition for Time Machine and another one to store files and use them in a PC and Mac. To create the partition, follow these steps > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html
    In order to read and write in the external disk on the PC, you have to select "MS-DOS (FAT)" as "Format". If you choose any other option, the PC won't be able to read your external disk. Apart from that, note that you can't use files bigger than 4 GB with FAT. If you want to use the external disk with files bigger than 4 GB, you have to format your new partition in exFAT, and you have to do it on a PC

  • Can I use Apple Time Capsule both as a back up as well as an external hard drive simultaneously ?

    My new IMAC has 500 GB SSD. I want to create a back up for it in a 2 or 3TB Time capsule. Is it possible to have data other than my backup data in the time capsule?  And can I access it like an external hard drive?
    Thanks

    1. If you're using Time Machine, you should allow it at least 1TB of space, but see #2.
    2. Yes, but it isn't possible to partition a Time Capsule in the normal fashion, and the Time Machine backup will eventually take up all the free space on the volume containing it. If desired, create a disk image on it.

  • Can i use a brand new macbook pro without internet connection? I can't get through the setup without specifying internet.

    My friend bought on my advice a macbook pro. He has no internet connection at home. Getting started with the macbook pro, we can't skip the internet connection information box.
    This may seem a little strange in a www organised world, but he only wants to use the macbook for storing photos and music.
    Is there something we overlooked, or is internet connection a must?
    Thx

    There should be a place to select "Other network options" or some such wording, where you can select "This Mac does not connect to the internet."

  • I have an HP Pavilion 500-267c, can I install a second hard drive in this PC ?

    My XP tower is no longer working but there is some information on the hard drive that I would like to retrieve, my present
    PC uses Windows 7 operating system. Can my old hard drive be installed into the new HP without ruining the new
    computer or the old hard drive ?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Yes, this assumes that the old XP hard drives is healthy.
     You may use a USB external hard rive caddy for the old drive or you can directly connect it through the SATA port on you MoBo on you new computer. 99% of the time there will be extra power connections from the power supply on your new machine to power the old drive.
     All this assumes that the old drive is SATA interface _ it may be IDE, in which case you would need an adapter to hook it directly to the new computers MoBo.
     I don't believe there are any IDE USB external hard drive caddies, although you may want to check to be sure.
     The one on top is SATA and the bottom is IDE.

  • In which trigger can i use go_item() in oracle forms 6i?

    Hi,
        I have a problem with go_item.
    I tried executing go_item() in triggers like key_next_item, pre_text_item, post_text_item & when_validate_item.
    But none of them seemed to be working.
    I searched for other possibilities in the site, where i found a solution of using trigger ' when_timer_expired ' with ' when_validate_item ' ,
    but when i tried to create trigger, i did not find that trigger (when_timer_expired)  in the list at all.
    I'm using oracle form builder 6i.
    Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production.
    A trigger with go_item() must be created when tab is pressed.
    In which trigger can i use go_item() ??
    Thank You.

    from help:
    Restricted Built-in Subprograms
    Restricted Built-ins affect navigation in your form, either external screen navigation, or internal navigation. You can call these Built-ins only from triggers while no internal navigation is occurring.
    Restricted Built-ins cannot be called from the Pre and Post triggers, which fire when Oracle Forms is navigating from object to another.
    Restricted Built-ins can be called from the When triggers that are specific to interface items, such as When-Button-Pressed or When-Checkbox-Changed. Restricted Built-ins can also be called from any of the When-New-"object"-Instance triggers and from key triggers.
    Unrestricted Built-ins do not affect logical or physical navigation and can be called from any trigger.
    The Built-in descriptions include a heading, Built-In Type, that indicates if the Built-in is restricted or unrestricted.

    Thanks for your help. Bit of a shame really as it would be used as a family device for games etc but I don't want to double purchase everything, plus my progress in a game would be different to others.

    Yosemite. Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and download it from the Mac App Store.
    If desired, you can instead buy a download code for Lion or Mountain Lion from the online Apple Store.

  • IMAC 2010 which HDD can I use to replace the malfunctioned Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB?

    iMAC 2010 which HDD can I use to replace the malfunctioned Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB?

    After doing a bit more research, the 2010 iMacs do appear to have a third cable connecting to the  hard drive, for the internal temp sensor.  This would appear to be the block of 8 pins that are on almost all drives, but they are normally intended for jumpers.  Unfortunately I was unable to find any documentation or specs that would indicate this pin block connects to the internal temp sensor on either standard (non-Apple) WD Black or Seagate 7200.12 drives.
    I did find some info that may be of some use:
    WD: Where to connect an external temperature sensor to a Serial ATA or EIDE hard drive.iFixit: Replace the hard drive, how do I connect the hard drive thermal sensor?
    Apple Technician Guide: iMac 2010 27" (mid-2010)
    Various discussion threads I found through google searching indicated some people succeeded with installing an external temp sensor on the body of the drive.
    Sorry I couldn't help more.
