changes the way system updates are reported / installed.

Now, operating system updates go through the App Store.

This is a major change which helps centralize all software and operating system updates at a single place.

It’s a major change for the user friendliness of the updates system!

Tutorial for configuring an Apple AirPort Express as an access point of an existing network:

This tutorial is for you if:

• you have just bought an AirPort Express and want to configure it
• you have an existing newtwork (i.e.: router, modem/router which takes care of DHCP and NAT already)

This tutorial is not for you if:

• you want to use the AirPort Express as a router / DHCP / NAT server
• you want to connect the AirPort Express directly to an ADSL or a cable modem
• you want to use the AirPort Express as a wireless extender for an existing wifi network

Step by step:

First of all, connect your AirPort Express to the router / switch using an RJ45* network cable into the left WAN connector.

* Use a straight cable and not a cross cable!

.

2. Start the “AirPort Utility” application which you can find under Applications / Utilities

After a few seconds, you should see your AirPort Express base and clicking on it shows some information and an Edit button to access configuration.

3. Setting up base station configuration

Nothing special on the tab; just take care of typing a strong enough password to avoid misuse of your AirPort Express.

Note that this is not the key which has to be given to access the network through the access point; this is the password for entering the administration tool.

.

4. Setting up Internet configuration

The most important point is to setup the AirPort Express to get his network configuration through DHCP.  This means the AirPort Express will receive an IP address assigned by the router (modem/router) on which it is connected.

.

5. Setting up wireless

On this tab, the unit must be configured to create a wireless network and not join or extend a wireless network.  It’s important to use a good security system for controlling access to the wireless network; this is to avoid misuse of the whole network by unwanted users.

The best security system system on this unit is the WPA2; for a personal or SME use, the WPA2 Personal is well advised.

Take care of setting a strong enough password to limit risk of intrusions.

.

6. Setting up network

In order to use the AirPort Express as an access point, the “Router Mode” must be configured as Off (Bridge Mode).

This means that a computer connecting through the unit will get its network configuration from the router (modem / router) on which the AirPort Express is connected.

Not using this setting would imply creating a sub-network and disabling the capability for computers connected through the unit to talk to computers connected to the main router.

.

7. Setting up AirPlay

If you have an interest in playing music on the AirPort Express, just enable AirPlay and connect your speakers on the jack connector:

You will now see on your iPhone / iPod / iTunes connected through the AirPort Express a new symbol* which will allow you to choose where you want your music to be played.

After installing it on my own Macbook three days ago, I can say it’s fast.  It looks stable even if it’s much too early to say.

Setup is, like always at Apple, very easy and secure.

I’ve had to request JAVA to be installed, it’s no more installed by default like it was in the previous releases of OSX …. But it’s a minor issue.  >> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4140536?start=0&tstart=0

The notification center brings a nice way to quickly overview all notifications at a single place; it meets the notifications system of iOS; nice feature.

For more impressions, just install it yourself and make it a try!

Bothered by your tables layout going wrong because of long (very long) words ?

Add “table-layout: fixed;” to the styling of the <table> element; and “word-wrap: break-word;” to the styling of the cell and your problem is solved !!
