Will Airport work with WildBlue?

Will the Airport (any version) work with WildBlue satellite internet service? We have 2 Macs and 2 PCs in the house. Does each computer need the WildBlue software installed? Wireless is voodoo to me...

They say it does. The Mac system requirement is basically Tiger or better. You do not need any client software installed.
WildBlue FAQ
They do say you are "required to have an up-to-date antivirus software installed on your PC". I would infer that statement applies to PCs and not Macs.
I'd be interested to hear about your experience with Wildblue. I ruled out both Hugenet and WB some time ago due to lukewarm user reviews. I concluded dialup is cheaper and more reliable.

Will Airport work with Sprint Airave?

I have read this will not work together. I think i need a new router, and want to switch to airport. But have heard that might not work with airave, which is crucial for my cell reception at home.

I don't know, my AiRave has been crashing alot, and now the Airport Express is crashing at the same time. Green light remains on, ID broadcast is interrupted.
I don't know why. Very frustrating.

Will AirPort work with my current wireless router?

I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I'm thinking about getting two AirPort Expresses for AirTunes. But I wanna know that if I get one AirPort Express in my room with my stereo, and my wireless router to my computer with iTunes, if AirTunes will work. Has anyone tried this? Thanks!

The answer is yes. Quoting the Airport Express FAQ:
Question: If my computer is associated with a non-Apple wireless access point, can iTunes send an AirTunes stream to the AirPort Express?
Answer: Yes, if AirPort Express has joined the network in client mode, or if it is connected via wire to a LAN port on the non-Apple wireless access point.

Will airport work with direct tv genie?

I cannot get direct tv Genie to work wirelessly with my airport base station. Wireless works fine with macbook pro, ipad, and cell phone but not with direct tv genie. Anybody have any ideas?

No, not directly. If they offer an IOS app you may be able to use airplay to stream content

Will airport work with a simple USB wireless adapter?

I'm considering setting my folks up with one or maybe two airports for wireless audio through their house. They don't have any wireless gear at the moment. Will it be ok to buy a cheap USB wireless adapter for their PC to transmit to the airports?
I'm considering this one: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/107691
My worry is that it might not send a strong enough signal. What do you reckon?
thanks!

I don't have first-hand knowledge of this particular USB wireless adapter, but it should be compatible with the AirPort base stations, as it is 802.11b/g-compliant and supports both WEP & WPA encryption.

Help! Will airport work with my laptop

My laptop is Powerbook G3 233 MHZ M4753 it has the system files from the airport card. But everytime I search on ebay for one they all look like the wrong one

Karl,
Possibly we do not have enough information. When you say it will not fit, are you referring to the PCMCIA card slot on the left edge of the powerbook? If you have tried to push a PC card into the slot and it does not slide in, possibly the card slot is locked...this can happen.
Open a paperclip and push it into the little hole next to the slot (the slot has a spring-loaded cover). If you push firmly enough, you will hear the lock disengage IF it is locked. Inserting a PC card requires extra effort as you reach the locking mechanism; you may want to hold the opposite end of the powerbook as you push the card in...you will hear it lock.

Time Machine will NOT work with Airport Disks!

It looks like Time Machine will not work with Airport Disks after all. All references to Airport have been removed from the Time Machine page:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/timemachine.html
It also specifically says: "You can designate just about any HFS+ formatted FireWire or USB drive connected to a Mac as a Time Machine backup drive. Time Machine can also back up to another Mac running Leopard with Personal File Sharing, Leopard Server, or Xsan storage devices."
Surely, they would have included the Airport Extreme Base Station in this list if it was supported.
I really hope there will be another firmware update for the AEBS which will bring compatibility with Time Machine, because Time Machine was the only reason for me to buy an AEBS. (I only use it as a small backup server, I don't even have wireless networking enabled. There were other solutions, e.g. from Synology, which are faster and more reliable than AEBS disk sharing, but Synology stated their network drives would not be compatible with Time Machine.)

Here's how you can potentially use your AirDisk with TimeMachine (beware that YMMV), but it should work as it works with every other "unsupported" device.
1) Mount your AirDisk so it appears on your Mac
2) Open Terminal.app
3) change directories to the AirDisk's root folder located in "/Volumes"
ie: cd "/Volumes/AirDisk Name"
4) execute this command to "bless" the drive to be used with time machine:
touch .com.apple.timemachine.supported
5) Start TimeMachine and if all went well, it should recognize your AirDisk drive and use it for TM.
This should also work on NFS shares, SMB shares, AFP shares, basically anything. It has worked up until the last developer seed, so unless they yanked this at the last minute, it should still work.
Now, the reason why Apple removed this feature may be due to the unreliability of the AirDisk, so be cautious.

Will napster work with my ipod nano?

will napster work with my ipod nano? or do i have to use itunes, i already have napster monthly so it would be easier for me but please let me know

Hi Superman,
I am not acquainted with Nabster, so I don't know much about the compatibility to iTunes. My only question is what format would the music be? I don't use Nabster or any P2P software, so I am in the dark. Is it just at random? So for Kyrstin, Knowledge Base Document #93123 on How to Convert a Different Song to a Different File format, would be something to look into if problems arise?

I-pod Hi Fi - will it work with a desktop Mac (6 months old) for DVD's etc

Hi,
I am a confused person trying to buy the right Xmas present. He has a video i-pod (one year old) and brand new shuffle for his stocking. However the old speakers on his 6 month old desktop (no idea what model) have blown so I was thinking of getting him the i-pod Hi Fi but will it work with his desktop too? Do I need to buy any other cables etc? If not, any recommendations as what would work well for both but not take up too much space?
Thanks.
i-pod Hi Fi

Just an additional information
The connection will be as follows:-
a) The iPod Video plug on the top of the iPod HiFi (docking)
b) He can use his audio cable between his blowed old speakers and computer, for connection between his computer with the back of iPod HiFi (audio input)
Then he can select between the playback of these two devices by press and holding the Menu button on the remote.
Regarding the new shuffle, you can buy a mini-jack splitter and plug it on the back of the iPod HiFi (audio input), one connect to his computer and one with his shuffle, of course you can connect without this splitter, he can either use it for computer or shuffle.
Note : iPod Hi-Fi has a digital/analog audio input port. You can use it to play music from an iPod that doesn’t have a dock connector or from other audio devices, such as a CD player, stereo receiver, or computer. If you have an AirPort Express Base Station, you can connect it to iPod Hi-Fi and play music from a computer in another room using AirTunes. You connect audio devices or an older iPod using an audio cable with a standard 3.5 mm stereo miniplug. For higher-quality sound, you can connect an optical digital audio device using an S/PDIF optical digital audio cable with a Mini-Toslink connector.

Can anyone recommend a printer which will actually work with mac 10.4.11 ?

Hi all! I have had problems getting a printer which will actually work with my macbook 10.4.11. I've tried HP deskjet f4180 (supposed to be compatible) and various lexmarks (no compatible software). Apple and hp, and my local curry's have not been able to assure me which printer will DEFINATELY work. I just wanted to hear from other Mac users with 10.4.11, if they had actually been able to find a printer which works properly. Would be greatful for any recommendations of printer's which are actually compatible with the updated tiger 10.4.11
Many thanks.
Crazynow!!

I read your previous posts, but had just upgraded to 10.4.11 & hadn't check my printers. All 3 of these work: Apple laserwriter 360, Brother HL 1440, and Brother MFC 7820N. I print to all of these wirelessly via airport.

My work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud, so I hard sync. But then the new info on my iPhone does not backup to iCloud. Is there a solution?

I have a Macbook and iPhone and like to back up to iCloud. However, my work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud. The company has no plans to update anytime soon. Since the calendar and contact list on my office computer are my primay ones, I hard sync through iTunes. The problem is that any data synced from Outlook 2003 to the iPhone from iTunes does NOT later backup to iCloud. Is there a solution?

I have the same problem with Outlook 2003 and Win XP which the multinational organisation I work for standardises on and will probably stay with forever!

You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
         by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
         installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries)

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!

1
Close all iWork applications
2
Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
3
empty the trash
4
shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
5
Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install

Get a Virtual Macine software program, Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install XP in a virtual machine.
You can't install XP in a Boot Camp Partition with Lion or Mt Lion, only Win 7.
