Network Windows 7 64-bit With Apple Airport Express?
Jul 5, 2011
using an Apple Airport Express device on my existing wireless network? I've combed the web, tried several things and zero luck.
One thing I did learn is that the apple device seems to want WEP2 type security, but that totally knocks out my wireless connection from my pc to the network. I changed it to WEP and got my computer connected again but either way I could not use, access or "see" the apple device.
My main computer is a DELL running Windows 7. It is hard-wired to a BT hub and has an Epson printer connected via USB.
My last laptop, which has gone kaput, was a Samsung netpad running Windows 7 Starter and this connected to the printer no problem.
I have just bought an Apple MacBook Air and want to connect it to the printer but cannot get the network to recognise it. It is fully functional on the wi-fi network but just wont find or connect to either the main computer or the printer.
I have both a Macbook and a PC laptop. I use an Airport for my wireless network. I connected my HP 4000 to the Airport via cable. My Macbook finds the HP fine. My PC does not. The only time I can see the HP is when my Macbook is turned on and logged on. Once in awhile, I can even get the HP to print a test page when the Macbook is on, but that's about it. I want to be able to print directly to the HP without having to have the Macbook on also.
I'm curious of trying this. I have an older Mac I don't really use. Is it possible to take out the graphics card and use it on a windows computer? And install the windows drivers for the gt 120?I already have a 680, but Id like to throw on another monitor
1st- the Apple keyboard (model # MB110LL/A) isn't listed as compatible with Windows 7. But I like it very much & had an extra one & decided to make use if it on my Windows 7 PC. The only issue I have using it on my PC is that the powered USB hub on the keyboard only works with the mouse. If I plug in a flash card I get a Power has been exceeded error. I have plenty of other hubs to use but I'm just curious why this hub works perfect on my iMac but not on Windows 7 (64-bit). I've installed all Bootcamp drivers but it still errors. So, here's how Apple's version of Device Manager looks; refer to as Keyboard Hub.My guess is somehow Apple allocates additional power when needed to it's USB hubs whereas Windows does not (Windows has a max of 500mA). There are several references to Extra Operating Current (see photo) to perhaps support that. Anyways, the only question I have is there a way to fix this? Perhaps a motherboard setting (Gigabyte) or a different driver.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L305 Series laptop with 2 GB of RAM, Intel Celeron, and 182 GB hard drive space. I really want to get the Apple Magic Mouse. Will that work on a Windows 7 PC? My computer doesn't have Bluetooth, but I am planning on getting a Bluetooth adapter for laptop as well. Will that work? Also, does the magic mouse come with a Bluetooth adapter, or do I have to buy an adapter separately?
as the title itself described, I wanna know if I can install Windows 7 on a apple mac without using boot camp or any virtualization. I meant a clean installation as we do on our desktops and notebooks
Keyboard driver doesn't function at all.I have tried downloading a few sets of drivers, but couldnt find any that would treat the apple keyboard like mac os x does...
I've had my ipod for over a year and it is jailbroken. One day my ipod couldn't sync with itunes and i figured out that my apple usb driver wasn't listed in device manager. I uninstalled itunes and everything and reinstalled it but it didn't help. I need to put music on my ipod and backup my apps.
I know there aren't very many who will care about this, but Apples wireless Mighty Mouse works out of the box in the 7000 build. Oh, I apologize if this has already been mentioned. I did a search and nothing came up.
I have a Acer Aspire 5920G with a spoilt ethernet port. I find wireless too unstable ... so I want to use ethernet. I cant find a USB Ethernet Adapter in most hardwarestores in my country but I found Apple USB Ethernet Adapter but will it work on a Non Mac?
Can anyone help me get my Apple Laser-writer 8500 working in Windows 7? I have the IP address assigned and can ping the printer. I just can't find a driver to install.
I will ask for Leopard first since this is what most people are using.
I tried to set up the networking with the Apple machines last night to no avail, rather, this morning. Has anyone had success doing so? According to everything I have read, it should be fairly straight forward, yet it is not connecting.
I used to use a MBP as my main computer, coupled with a 30" Apple Cinema Display (Model A1083 - purchased three years ago). I recently purchased a PC (i7-950 3.06 GHz; AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB; Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) to use as my home computer, and the MBP for mobile purposes. However, I cannot get the new PC to recognize the native resolution of the Apple Cinema Display (2560x1600). The monitor shows a maximum display resolution of 1200x800. I am using the only connection the monitor has to hook into the PC -- DVI-D Dual Link.In the screen options, under Control Panel, it shows the monitor as "CINEMA" but the drivers reflect "Generic PnP monitor".
From what I can discern, people used to use WinACD (WinACD | Download WinACD software for free at SourceForge.net) as a fix for this common issue, but the file has been discontinued and the last version was made for WindowsXP.
I have a custon ASUS m48A89GTD MOBO runnin windows 7, and a apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse with a cheap generic USB bluetooth dongle, which runs on a "broadcom 2.0 + USB dongle driver" .The keyboard and mouse pair with no problem, i can restart the pc and re-pair the devices perfectly.However, if i manually remove the dongle and reconnect it, all pairing info is lost and have to re-pair,
While the pc is shut down, the dongle remains lit with a "standby" power supply, If i remove the dongle and reconnect it, even if the pc is off, the problem repeats itself.same goes if i disconnect the pc from the wall outlet.Apparently the dongle has to remain "powered" for it to remember all the pairing and devices info.this is quite annoying, because i have to whip out my wired keyboard to re-pair every time this happens.
My AppData folder is getting too big. I found I have 4 GB taken up from what appear to be backups of various iPods, in the Roaming folder under AppData.
I have installed Itunes version 10.3.1.55 on my computer(windows7 x86), and since that Itunes refuses to sync to my Iphone. On the previous versions of Itunes everything was just fine. I went to the Service pannel and when trying to start the AMDS and I keep gettng this error "Windows could not start the apple device service on local computer : Error1067"...I've googled the matter and seems like no one on the blogs I visited got this figured out...Apple support is even worse,they keep telling you to install and the uninstall itunes, delete temp filesetc and try the whole thing back again..
I recently moved into a new apartment. My roommate has a macbook and an Apple AirPort Express router. She is able to connect to the wireless network just fine, but on my laptop with Windows 7 (x64), the connection is stuck on identifying. I attached the output from ipconfig /all: ipconfig.txt
If I wanted to keep my current home computer as my main server & be able to access it remotely via laptop any where in the world if I'm away for whatever reason.
What kind of laptop would be best?
My business is websites, so I almost automatically jump to an apple since its pushed more for the graphics/artists
But I also like the dells & alienwares.
I'd also like them to talk wirelessly/via bluetooth while they are in the same room together to "sync" up.
I'm just not sure which way to go.
I wont be gaming, just heaving internet surfing & web design/work.
I run Windows 7 64 & Ubuntu 64 (though I havent used it as much since Windows 7 64 came out)
I have recently bought a new computer with a Windows 7 operating system. I have a broadband connection to BT which includes Outlook for e-mails. Frankly I like neither of these programs and having used Outlook express for well over 15 years I still think that it is the best and that it is open and has no hidden features.
You can use outlook express in windows 7pro. windows 7 pro allows you to have windows xp mode as a virtual pc, the entire operating system if you wish to install your programs there. Its easy to switch back and forth. I had difficulty connecting till I checked outlook in the exceptions tab on the firewall.
I use 2 different email accounts (with comcast.net) to separate my normal home emails and those serviceing sites like Freecycle. For my home stuff, I use Outlook 2010 which installed fine on Windows 7. Previously in XP I used outlook express for non-home related stuff. This works fine in keeping the two streams of data separated
I have tried to fathom out livemail, and don't like it. Outlook Express ws simple and the best to use imo. Can I install outlook express while using Windows 7 as OS, and how?
is there a place where you can obtain an instruction manual in hard copy for mozilla thunderbird other than printing it from the internet?What is the best alternative for replacing outlook express for people who are not that computer literate?
im trying to email from a web sight it keeps telling me i have no default email i have windows 7 64 bit im not sure what to do or what i need to down load so i can directly email from were i am without having to wright it down aan go to my regular email to send it
