Dear Listers,
I'm exhausted but also trimphant because I've just managed - I think I
have managed - to set up my time capsule with airport express. This
promising device seems to combine airport express and time capsule.
However, having been assured by the shop assistant where I had bought
the device that it should pick up all my settings automatically - I
have spent the last 3 hours trying to do so as it didn't do anything
automatically. I have consequently a very red hot face, and my heart's
thumping.
Luckily, it seems that I am connected to the internet which is a great
relief.
prior to having bought the airport express/cum time capsule in one -ż
I had been connecting to the internet via an ethernet connection and
modem given to me by my ISP provider, virgin media. The shop
assistant told me that all I had to do was to connect the ethernet
cable to the airport express/time capsule and that my computer should
pick everything else up automatically. How mistaken I was to believe
that.
Anyway, I think all is wwell and working for now although I expect
some unexpected problems in the future.
Listers, I have in my utilities folder under applications two
apploications: airport disc utility and airport application. When I
try to launch the airport disk utility I get a message that this
application is not supported by the architecture. What does it mean?
Also, listers, Should you have any helpful tips on using airport
express/cum time capsule with Mac on which I also run windows under
bootcamp - although I shall soon be running windows under fusion,
please let me know. This is all rather technical, I feel very much
adrift and frightened. My work depends on my computer, I can't afford
to lose any communications related to work or appointments.
Thanks in advance for any tips you can give me. I have followed very
carefully all the threads realating to time capsule airport express on
the list in the knowledge that one day I will be going that way but it
is all very different when you are actually doing it without the depth
computer knowledge some of you/many of you have on the list.
With many thanks
Simon
