MacBook Pro :: Why No Official Apple Docking Station
Oct 23, 2010Its time for me to upgrade my macbook pro(2007 model). I really want to get another mac, as they are pretty, sturdy, run windows if needed and have good battery. Problem is theres no bloomin dock! At work I have a dell latitude that I can carry around, and just sits into a dock to connect to my peripherals when I am at my desk. Most folks say its just a few wires, and only takes 30 seconds, but not really. I would have:
3 External Disks.
Speakers.
Ergonomic keyboard(not mac wireless).
Ergonomic mouse(not mighty mouse).
USB interfacing guitar pedal.
Card reader.
Monitor.
That's a short list and could be longer if I add ipods etc. My point is, or rather, my question is why don't apple do docking stations? They used to do them? Loads of other companies do them.
MacBook Pro :: USB Hub With Ethernet And Audio Like Docking Station
Apr 16, 2012I have a few MBPs, the 15 inch model. At my desk, there is a tangle of cords: Two scanners, keyboard, mouse, audio to speakers, and wired Ethernet. Today this is connected via a USB hub, plus audio and Ethernet. To make things worse, the Apple USB to Ethernet dongle doesn't like to work through my cheapo USB hub, nor do the scanners (HP flatbed and Fujitsu autofeed), so I can't use it to reduce the number of cables. By the way, that USB hub is able to handle scanners and keyboard just fine when on a Windows laptop. Ideally, I would like the reduce the number of cables needed at the desk to three: power (magsafe), video (thunderbolt), and all the rest via a single USB cable. Switching to the Apple Thunderbolt display is a non-option for various reasons.
So what I'm looking for is a USB hub with built-in Ethernet and built-in audio, and which works with a Mac. It has to have at least 4 ports (a few more spares would be better) and has to have USB 2.0 speed to make Ethernet sensible. On the web, there are lots of stories of USB hubs that DON'T work MBPs (the one on my desk is an example). To make matters even more interesting, I haven't found a USB hub with built-in Ethernet *and* audio yet, so I might have to use an inexpensive USB audio dongle. So are there any examples of USB hubs with > 4 ports, Ethernet and audio that someone has seen actually work with Macs? If those don't exist, are there any examples without audio?

Hardware :: Wireless USB Docking Station Mac Compatible?
Dec 30, 2009I noticed Kennsington's wireless USB docking station on sale at Frys Site earlier this morning. The description mentions the docking station is Mac compatible. I've searched these forums and the net and haven't found any threads on people using this with a Mac in the past, it seems wayyy too good to be true. I was hoping somebody a little more tech savvy than myself might be able to weigh in on this. I attached the link to the USB docking station below and I also own a mid-late 2008 MBP. [URL].

Mar 25, 2012all other machines have no problems.It worked earlier in the day-put to sleep-came back- now it can't something is wrong with network settings but nothing changed. Two PC's are connected to same cable/Airport base station wirelessly with no issues it's just my machine. I've rebooted a few times-that didn't help. i can get my macbook's airport to work with my wireless aircard so it's not my the internal wireless modem, it's got to be my wireless settings for the airport basestation itself-but nothing chagned in those few hours it was asleep? I have been having issues for a few weeks requiring that I run diagnosis on this home wireless network connection, but it usually gets resolved and coems back on-now it seems gone.

MacBook :: Won't Connect With Airport Bt Homehub / Doesn't Recognise Base Station
Dec 25, 2009I have just acquired a second-hand iBook G3 (Mac OS X 10.3.9) and I can't connect to my BT HomeHub using the AirPort. I can connect using a cable and the previous owner had no problems with the AirPort. My PC is connected to the BT HomeHub fine.
The AirPort is on and I can see the correct BTHH network in the list. When I try to connect I get the error message "There was an error joining the AirPort network 'BTHomeHub etc." I know this is a common error message but I've been through lots of forums and haven't found any advice that has worked. I tried stuff like cleaning up the keychains and adding '$' to my password.
It could be a problem with my password, because I've tried the Admin password on the back of the hub, the Wireless key BT gave me on the 'Wireless Settings' card, and the password I use for wireless internet on my PC. Does anyone know which one ought to work?
When I go into the AirPort menu and click on Internet Connect, 'AirPort Power' is 'on', there is no signal, and it says 'Base Station ID: Not available'. Do I need to reset my Base Station?
If anyone can help I will be soooo grateful. Thanks.

OS X :: Connecting To Base Station Not By SSID?
Mar 3, 2009Anyway, at my school, I tend to not have any problems getting on the wireless, except there is one place where I can get a connection to the wireless access point, but it will not give me an IP address. I tried release and renew on many occasions. I also tried restarting and all the regular stuff. My school's tech support was not too helpful.
I spoke to some people who have had similar issues and they said, that they have had it with some routers and not other. Because of the nature of the network, there are a lot of base stations all broadcasting with the same SSID. They suggested I try to connect to one of them.
The problem is, by default, OS X connects the station with a given SSID that has the strongest signal. Is there a way to connect to the other ones. Using a widget, I see the other base stations with the same SSID. How do I tell my computer to connect to those?
For what it is worth, I have a 2.2ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook with 2 gigs of Ram and all the latest versions of everything.

Mac Pro :: Airport Extreme Base Station Information?
Dec 2, 2010I've been looking here for the answer without any success. Well after 8 yrs I decided upgrading my linksys's router and I was able to setup my new airport extreme wireless and add my ethernet printer without using the USB option.
I noticed after using my daughter macbook pro under her log in and I was able to see my airport router and was able to change settings under airport utility.
I don't want that to happen as I want to manage everything from my Macpro and I'n afraid that anyone with another pc from outside can have access to it.
I don't have any share files except sharing the printer in the network.
Also I noticed that I can't have two seperate network name's with individual passwords for 2.4 GHz and 5GHz but I have a separete one for the guest network which I did okay.
If I add a hard drive in the airport router via USB can I use that for time machine for my daughter macbook pro?

Hardware :: How To Block Websites Using Base Station
Jan 31, 2009I have an Airport Base Station Extreme and am wondering if it can be used to block certain websites? I have seen ways of blocking websites on a specific computer in the house but with having children there are a few specific websites I want to be able to block on the complete wifi network whether it's used by a Mac, PC, or even a Nintendo Wii or iPod Touch. I figured there must be some way of blocking it with the Airport Base Station Extreme's software. If not, is there another way to block it? I have a comcast modem/router and don't really know of any software that can be used with that.

OS X :: Setup For Mac Universe With AirPort Extreme Station
Jan 26, 2010I have recently been bitten by the Apple craze, and am now 100% committed to going all apple. I have bought a Mac Mini, iPhone and soon I will get an 27" iMac and Airport Extreme Station. So I have been thinking, what is the best set up for all this? At this point I have "problems" with my iTunes. My music library is on my windows PC and a NAS Harddrive as backkuo.
So when I want to listen to the music on my Mac Mini I can see the library, but not the playlists and covers that I have on my WIndows PC. Basically, what I want, once I get the 100% apple set up, is flawless integration og everything. Meaning same music library and playlist on both macs, eyeTV recordings and live streamin on both if possible and as much interactions with my iPhone as possible. Are there posts or web pages out there that cover this topic and descripe how the setup could be?

I can't see in Airport Utility to set the Radio mode to 'N' only, I only have 2 options as shown in the attached.
Hardware :: Base Station Vs O2 Router For More Range?
Apr 6, 2010I have Mac computers, and have a wireless connection using a standard O2 router. I'm just about to build the office/studio in the garden and I need an internet connection here, but the O2 box hasn't got the range. It's about 100ft between the router and the hot seat with a wall and some planting in the way. My question is this: Will an Airport Extreme base station give me more range than the O2 box? Will an Airport Extreme work with O2? Would I be better off laying an Ethernet cable along with the rest of the electrics all the way up to the studio and do away with the Wireless idea? Can a (approx) 100ft Ethernet cable give me a decent signal or is that just too long?
