Will this setup work?

Hi everyone,
I am looking into purchasing an AirPort Express 2nd Gen from the apple store. I have a few questions for you guys...
I am planning on keeping my existing router(Netgear N600 wireless router) in place, and have my printer connected wirelessly to this network thru the AirPort express.
Can the Airport act as an ethernet bridge? (Connecting on to an existing wireless network..?)
Thanks everyone!

50/50 chance that the Express will connect to the Netgear wireless network. Make sure that you understand the store's return policy before you buy.
You might be able to configure the Express to "join" the Netgear network, but it will not provide any additional wireless coverage in that setting.
In other words, you will not be able to to "extend" or "repeat" the wireless network with the Express....so your printer must connect to the Express using either USB or Ethernet.....not wireless.
With luck, the USB port and Ethernet port on the Express will be enabled for the setup.
Expect Windows Firewall and/or anti-virus program blocking issues with the connection from the Win 7 machine to the Express.
If you need to have the remote printer connect using wireless only......you really need to look at another Netgear product to "repeat" or "extend" the wireless signal. The Express would not be compatible with your Netgear router for this purpose.

iPad requires Wifi (or 3G /LTE) to connect to the Internet. You cannot connect a USB modem to the iPad.
You can create your own WiFi hotspot through your computer for your iPad to connect to, if your computer supports this functionality. All Wifi Macs and many Wifi PCs do. Check your computer manual for how to do it.

Will this setup work for Color Calibration / Matrox / Enzio Monitor

Hi, I'm getting conflicting answers from Matrox forum and DVinfo.
I'm wondering if this setup will work for editing wedding films as well as doing color correction...
I'm using FCP 7 / FCS 3. I have a DVI input as well as a DisplayPort input on my Mac Tower which is about year old.
Monitor: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/687611-REG/Eizo_CG223W_BK_ColorEdge_CG223W _22_Widescreen.html
Converter/Capture Card: (This is where I'm confused.) I'd also like to keep it under $800 if possible and be compatible with FCP X
http://www.sharbor.com/products/MTXN5010167.html
Can I also use a displayport to HDMI to connect my Mac tower to the Matrox as well as a HDMI to DisplayPort to connect the Matrox to the monitor or will this ruin or downgrade the signal?
Or is there another card that I could use that is simple to install?
Thanks for you help!

>Can I also use a displayport to HDMI to connect my Mac tower to the Matrox as well as a HDMI to DisplayPort to connect the Matrox to the monitor or will this ruin or downgrade the signal?
No. The Matrox MXO2 line connects one of three ways: PCIe slot in MacPro, Express34 for MacBook Pro, and Thunderbolt (additional cost for the adapter). If you have a MacPro..you put the MXO2 adapter card into one of the PCIe slots, then connect that to the MXO2 box.

Will this setup work for extending my network?

I want to be able to control which piece of hardware I connect to. I have and airport extreme currently being extended by a airport express so we can get a signal in the far part of our backyard. The problem is when going through the airport express the bandwidth drops by 50%, and since I can't specify what to connect to I need another solution, so will the following work?
1) airport extreme connects to Internet
2) airport express connect wirelessly to airport extreme but doesn't allow wireless clients.
3) airport express connects via Ethernet to another router which I setup as a different wireless network (different ip range etc)
4) then in backyard we can use the second wireless network
5) when inside we can connect directly to the airport express
is this possible?
Thanks

Experiment a bit with the placement of the AirPort Express.
It's natural that the signal strength (and speed) will fall off with distance from the wireless router, so the trick is to place the AirPort Express at a position where it will:
1) Receive as strong a signal as possible (because it can only extend what it receives).
2) Extend the signal strength to the area you want to cover
If there were no obstructions between the main router and the area you want to extend to, the ideal position for the Express would be half way between them. That way, the Express gets as strong a signal as possible to extend the signal.
Depending on your layout, the Express may need to be even closer to the main router....or, more than half the distance, maybe up to 2/3.
If you power down the Express and take some measurements with the laptop, you will see how the wireless signal strength and speed fall off with distance. If you locate the Express too far away from the main router, it won't have enough signal to work with for best performance.
It's all a series of compromises. You never gain something without giving up something else in return. It's possible that the 50% loss in bandwidth in the remote areas is the best that can be attained at your location. Extending using wireless only always brings some loss of performance.
Finally, if you really want the "best" bandwidth performance from a wireless network, the only way to do it is connect the Express to the AirPort Extreme using ethernet. This preserves the bandwidth on the network much more effectively than any other method of extending.

Will this new computer work a LOT better than the machine I currently have? Will it be a worthwhile upgrade? Will my video card work well for my intended purposes in Premiere?

Go to the CS5 Benchmark http://ppbm5.com/ and review the results

Will this setup work for a wireless backup?

I'm trying to determine what I need for what I want to do. I have a Macbook on an existing wireless network. I have an external drive that I connect to via hardwire. I'd like to use the external drive wirelessly with Time Machine. Can I connect the external drive to an Airport Express to make that happen?

Can I connect the external drive to an Airport Express to make that happen?
No. The AirPort Express (AX) does not support USB hard drives.

Will this drive work in firewire?

I have a 80GB Western WD00BB-OOJKCO drive as my backup. If I upgrade to the new iMac will I be able to use this drive as a firewire and upload all my applications back onto my new iMac? I presently do my backup with Carbon Copy Cloner as a bootable backup.
I know I would have to purchase a firewire case for the drive, but will this drive work in a firewire case?
Thanks

Don't see why not assuming you have all the files required by your applications fully backed up. Some applications install data outside of the Applications folder. Some record serial numbers into invisible files. If all the data are not properly transferred then you may need to reinstall some applications.
If you are moving from a PPC to an Intel Mac, then I suggest reading the following;
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:
Intel In Macs
Apple Guide to Universal Applications
MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode or copying the critical contents to CD and DVD or an external hard drive will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.
Basically the instructions you should follow are:
1. Backup your data first. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
2. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
3. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
4. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
4. Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (* This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ copy any preferences needed for third-party applications
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to another forum user for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

The lightning to 30 pin adapter does not support video as per the item description in the Apple online store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.
You will need to the Lightning to VGA adapter directly

Or the Lightning Digital AV Adapter

If the projector supports HDMI input.

Remember though, that although you have warranty on this phone, it is only valid in India and NOT Canada, because you purchased the phone in India and iPhone warranty is country specific, so if you have problems with the phone, then you'll need to take it back to India to get it fixed.
If you will be in Canada for any length of time, then buy a new phone in Canada. It will be guaranteed to work then and you will also have warranty cover.

Most CDMA phones will only work on the network they are branded to. The carriers usually do not allow other brands of phones on their cdma networks.

I currently have a MacBook Pro running on Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I would like to update to 10.6 or above. Will this update work for my computer or is there other software I need to download first?

You need to install Mac OS X 10.6 from a DVD first. The online Apple Store sells them.
