Which Synology NAS for wireless use?

I want to buy a 4 bay Synology NAS to attach to my Airport Extreme. It will serve most of my devices wirelessly: MacBook, a Windows notebook, Apple TV, and varied media players, maybe Time Machine for my Mac. Which model is enough for a wireless connection?
I assume the DS412+ is overkill; the network isn't fast enough to do it justice. That leaves the DS413 and the DS413J.
Which model would you recommend?
What kinds of transfer speeds can I expect?
I assume the bottleneck is the Airport Extreme. I'm hoping that this gets upgraded to 802.11ac soon, so would that warrant the DS412+? Should I get the DS412+ to futureproof my set up? (I might even wire my house with CAT6 one day.)
Thanks for your help!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The AirPort MAC address is the one to use when limiting wireless access by MAC address.
Do include the computer MAC address to be certain you can still connect to the router via wired Ethernet cable in case the wireless network becomes unavailable.
I fully configure my router with a wired Ethernet connection before turning on any wireless access.
That way, the router is never visible and unsecured until you've completed your configuration.
And when complete, be sure to save the router config file. My D-Link writes the config to my local hard drive.
It's a pain to re-enter all those MAC addresses from scratch if you have to reset the router to an unconfigured state. At best, you can simple reload the saved config file.
At worst, having a screen print of the permitted MAC addresses and device names makes re-entering the info manually much easier than running around the house or office trying to locate the MAC addresses of all the phones, pods, tablets, game systems, and printers!
From a security standpoint, filtering wireless access by MAC address doesn't absolutely guarantee that a determined hacker with unlimited time and a 'sniffer' can't ever get in, but a casual thief simply looking for free WiFi will keep looking for an easier target.

Australian. How do locate apps which are suitable for Australian use,

How do I locate applications which are relevant for Australian use, for example a shopping application; a travel application;
Do I have to do a search in itunes for the category I want, and then go and read about that application (if a website is offered).
Are the only forums for specific applications, attached to each individual application? That is, there is no one forum which deals with queries/features of applications in itunes?

Apps aren't an iTunes issue, per se, since iTunes only downloads and transfers them. Try:
Installing and using iPhone applications
Installing and Using iPod touch Applications

Which MAC Address for Wireless MAC Filter?

Which MAC Address should I use, the computer MAC Address or the Airport MAC Address?

HP 6300 all in one can't set up for wireless use

can't set up for wireless use

That is because the printer does not support wireless connectivity to a router. You can with an optional Bluetooth adapter to one computer wireless. However since this has an Ethernet connection you can connect it to your router via this or you can use the below information to convert your Ethernet wired printer to wireless.
Connect wireless printer anywhere, convert from wired, bypass failed radio, add WPA2 security.

"dtutil", how to tell which configuration file for packages using after deployment?

Hello All,
Trying to achieve this feature,
Using DOS command to automatic my deployment process--glad I found dtutil. However, it doesnt give you any chance to identify which configuration file to be used by SSIS packages after deployment.
Deployment Method: file deployment
Configuration sued: XML file and SQL Table. IN XML file, it tells which DB connection for packages to look up the configuration table.
Who can share some thoughts on this?
Derek

It is NOT about sequence.
It is about how to point which configuration file to be used by deployed packages as during the "dtutil.exe"
deployment, you dont have chance to identify which physical location confg files to be used.
Derek
That you do only at the time of execution of packages. By default it uses configuration settings created at design time within the package. If you want to override it, you can use \Configfile switch of dtexec for that. You can also set explicit values for
properties using /SET switch

No usb cable for wireless use on new modems

My internet company recently changed my modem and I'm not longer able to use my printer, which ran wirelessly. From what I've been able to find out I apparently need a USB cable and I don't have one that fits the printer. Is there another way around this. Printer is not able to find the computer apparently and all the troubleshooting I've been able to do says the printer is offline.
thanks

This is the USB cable you need, a Printer USB cable.
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Hi-Speed-USB-Cable-Feet/dp/B00004Z5M1
However you need to contact your ISP to fix their issue of why their new gateway device broke your wireless printer. It is their responsibility.

How to set up a HP1102w for wireless use with iPad/Iphone etc

Hi,
I purchased the HP P1102w last year and it's certainly not out of the box Airprint compatible, in fact it is very fiddly, but the following takes about 10 minutes using a mac. The besuty of this is it works with my BT homehub also and probably any wireless router including Airport Express and Extreme and no need to have your printer sat near the router or use the USB cable. My iPad3, Wife's iPad2 and both iPhone 4's work beautifully too.
I spent several hours before discovering this solution and eventually sorted all of this out using the following:
Firstly you will need to go to the HP Support site and download the HP Driver Software for OS 10.7 Here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-80684-5 &cc=uk&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=4110396&sw_lang=
Once this has been installed to the HP 1102w using the USB, you then disconnect the printer from the USB and using your MAC connect to it using Network Connections (Click on the Wireless Icon in the task bar). The printer should be listed here under 'devices', (Note this will disconnect you from the internet!!!).
Once you are connected directly and wirelessly to the printer the blue light should stop flashing and remain constantly blue!!!
At this point go and make a cup of tea or leave the printer for about 3 -5 minutes before the next step to allow the printer to initiaite and provide and IP Address.
Next stage is to print a 'Self Test / Device Configuration' sheet from the printer. Do this by holding the red X button until the green light flashes on the printer (About 10 secs), when you release the printer should print a page with two columns on. The right hand column should state an IP Address. (if the printer is 'not connected' or 'initiating' try again in a few minutes. If the IP Address is 0.0.0.0 then the printer is not connected and recheck the blue light is not flashing (it should be permanently lit).
Now you have the IP Address, open safari and type in the IP Address eg.... 192.254.1.87 with no http or www. just the plain IP Address.
This should then open the control pages for the HP Printer Set up. These are green and white web pages.
Go to the Networking Tab (Nearly there, promise).... Click on 'Wireless' on the left hand menu and then in the new page that opens do the following:
Change from 'AdHoc' to 'Infrastructure'
In the next section 'Network Name (SSID)' - the name will be the HP name.... in the available network box select your home network and then press the little box that looks like this -- [<<]..... this should then change the 'current network name (SSID) to your home network (If your network is not listed just use the refresh button).
Last stage is to change the 'Authentification'
Change this to WPA/WPA2 (or other if your router is set otherwise) and in the 'passphrase' box enter the security password for your router and then finally save the changes....
After this all you then need to do is go to settings on your Mac - Printer and Faxes and remove the HP 1102w from the list using the - sign. Then click the + button to add a new printer and hey presto you will find the HP1102w with Bonjour.... simply add and then you can print from your Mac, Ipad and Iphone with no further tinkering....
I really hope this helps and you don't get as stressed as I did....
Happy printing...
Steve
ps. Why couldn't HP just tell you this!!!!!!

Two actiontec routers for WIRELESS use

Hi-
I have read the other threads that I could find re: two routers but they all seem to pertain to something other than what I am looking for.
My problem: I have the FIOS big white box (is this the ONT?) in my basement. I have the Actiontec router on the 1st floor in a room that is an extension (no basement access). I have an office in my basement and use the wireless from the 1st floor for interntet. The wireless signal from the actiontec used to be full blast in the basement but since I had the basement "redone" I now have literally no signal. My contractor thinks that maybe it is the double thickness drywall (soundproofing).
I called VZ and they offered me a new router, so that is coming in the mail. However, I am pretty certain it is not the router as my signal in the rest of the house is excellent.
Question 1) Can I hook ANYTHING to that big white box? Either my Mac that is down there via ethernet or a second Actiontec?
Question 2) I would love to have wireless down there. Can I have a second Actiontec down there that has either the same or a different wireless network?
Note: I do have a tv connection in my living room on the first floor. If it were possible to move my router to there and split the coax between the tv box and the router, I could possibly run a hardwire through the floor into the basement if that was the best way to get wireless down there again.

I don't have much to add as far as solutions. (Looks like the others pretty much have that covered anyway.)
I am curious though. Why did you put "redone" in quotes and why does it need to be soundproof? What exactly are you planning on dong in your, uh, office?

Which J2EE server for commercial use ?

I'm a bit new to all of this so please be gentle...
I'm currently learning all about J2EE by going through the tutorials provided by Sun (the bookstore, the bank etc). At the moment, I use the j2ee.exe program that comes with the SDK as my server.
My question is : when it comes to actually setting up a J2EE server for real-world use, would I still be using the same j2ee.exe or is this merely for test purposes and cannot take the strain of serious use.
If it is merely for testing and development, which j2ee servers are used out there in the big wide world ? I hear a lot spoken about Tomcat but don't know what it is.
I'd appreciate any comments about this. Although I can find lots of detailed knowledge about j2ee and server-side java in general, there seems to be very little information giving a general overview.
Thanks - Steve.

Funny cos' I was nearly gonna ask the same question myself but...One thing I know is that Tomcat is only the servlet implementation of J2EE and cannot run EJB's...this I know for sure... On the other hand, Application servers like IBM's Websphere or BEA's Weblogic can handle both Servlets and EJB's...but are quite costly....there exists an open source version called JBOSS (jboss.org) that is free and seems to be quite worth checking out...as far as j2ee.exe goes, I think it just supports basic EJB implementation on it's own and does not take care of security, transactions, persistence etc... like the expensive ones do..
did that help?

[Almost Solved] Mount NAS for use with photorec

Hi there,
I deleted some files on my NAS (WD MyBook World Edition) and want to give photorec a try - nothing serious but would be cool if it works.
Now the software should find the drive where my problem lies:
Normaly I mount the NAS via sudo mount /mnt/mybook/
fstab entry:
//IPC/Public /mnt/mybook cifs users,noauto,noatime,ip=192.168.1.200,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/root/.creds,uid=1000 0 0
How can I mount the NAS for temporary use with photorec dev/....
Regards
Last edited by Flylow (2011-01-07 12:45:49)

Just wondering, if there is a faster way than photorec for my purpose? I've bought an USB enclosure for the drive now - Because it's an nearly full 2 TB drive the recovery takes ages (about 120 hours).
There are only 2 GB of free space on the drive and the deleted pictres are most likely in thes 2 gigs. Is there a programm (something for Windows is fine too) which let me recover only undeleted files and doesn't do a full recovery (have already limited photorec to jpg only)?
FS is XFS.

Time Capsule vs Synology NAS

Hey everyone,
So my current set up at the moment is a Mac Mini with a 3TB external hard drive hooked up for my iTunes library and a 1TB external hard drive used for Time Machine backups for the Mac Mini and 2 Macbook Pros.
I can't decide which would be better to use a Time Capsule or a Synology NAS for the following:
My iTunes library to share to my Apple TV, and other iDevices.
Time Machine backups for all 3 computers and 2 iPhones and 2 iPads
And possibly a file sharing location for use with OS X Server.
And Caching location for app downloads used with OS X Server
What device do you think would be better to use.

Is your mini running OSX server now??
If you plan to install a computer running Server, then I would work out that setup..
This is a "don't quote me" but when you use a server.. you don't want the files to be on network drives.
ie using a server and using network drives (either TC or Synology) means you have competing requirements.
Server should have local disks so it has full control over permissions etc.
Synology in particular is designed as a server replacement.. you don't use a small server plus a synology. You can use TC but only as TM backup location and router.
For your bullet points.
My iTunes library to share to my Apple TV, and other iDevices.
The Synology would be better.. but you still will need a computer running. Home serving of iTunes must be done via a computer.. therefore your library is located in the wrong place. The built in iTunes in the synology.. is really ??? Sorry cannot say much until I get it setup and running.. !!
Time Machine backups for all 3 computers and 2 iPhones and 2 iPads
Any will do as TM target. iOS devices backup to iTunes or iCloud.. There is no TM for iOS. And it will need a real iTunes.. not synology itunes.
And possibly a file sharing location for use with OS X Server.
And Caching location for app downloads used with OS X Server
You are using the Synology as dumb storage. A USB drive plugged into the OS X Server computer will be faster, cheaper and more reliable. You are effectively buying two servers and bypassing on of them to simply use its hard disk.. pointless.

HT4352 Hi, my media is stored on a synology NAS, can Apple TV access the movie folder there?

Hi,
My media is stored on a synology NAS. I use a Samsung Smart tv and stream media content form the NAS to the tv. The annoying thing is I cannot rewind /forward movies, which seems an unsolvable problem. This is why I consider purchasing an Apple TV. My question now is, can Apple TV be linked with my NAS so that I can stream movies form there to the tv via the apple box?
Many thanks for your replies

no it don't support nas
it only support a computer running itunes with a shared itunes lib
that computer could store it's media on the nas but the appletv only see the computer

Subquery vs UNION, which is better for performance?

I want to know which in better for performance using a subquery method or a UNION?

Im completely new to Mac. Im swapping my windows laptop for macbook pro and looking for network storage solution which the Time Capsule seems to do. Is it possible to use this as NAS for my desktop Windows PC - windows 7

Im completely new to Mac. Im swapping my windows laptop for macbook pro and looking for network storage solution which the Time Capsule seems to do. Is it possible to use this as NAS for my desktop Windows PC - windows 7

Broadly speaking I want some sort of network storage( wireless or through my existing wifi router) that I can access files for both my windows PC and Macbook and also to access files to my iPad/ iPhone. Some sort of backup and sychronisation so that I can access certain files remotely.
Buy a real NAS.. synology or QNAP are the standard... although companies like Netgear and Western Digital and Seagate make them as well.
There is no problem sharing between Mac and PC now.. you do not even need a NAS to do that.. you simply share the hard disk directly. Mac talk SMB.. everything talks SMB nowadays.. so it is easy.
ipad and iphone are not designed to use NAS.. they are designed to backup only to the cloud or itunes.. but you can load an app like file browser if you want.
http://www.stratospherix.com/products/filebrowser/
Remote access to the Apple TC is somewhere between difficult, to impossible from a PC.. Apple use BTMM and iCloud but the service is not offered to PC.
A real NAS will offer HTTPS or SFTP or several other methods.. that both Mac and PC can use.
You simply plug it into the current wireless router.. it is a network device and assessable over the network. It is not necessary to buy another router.. in fact that is a waste.
