How do i set this up correctly

one of my daughters has an iMac with cable modem. she needs to be able to use her office thinkpad (intel wireless card) at home. when she has visited me, i had to turn off security on my aiport (snow) base station for her to connect.
i plan to get her a airport extreme base station. how do i set it up to ensure she can connect from her thinkpad without compromising security.
thanks

you can go to apple/support and type in their search engine. there's good information relating to create a dependable extreme or tc network, etc

  • I want to type "0800" or "20.00"; Pages automatically "corrects" the entries to: "800" and "20." !  How can I turn this automatic correcting OFF?

    In my business it is critical that I be able to enter numbers in the format I choose.  I want to type "0800" or "20.00"; Pages automatically "corrects" the entries to: "800" and "20." !  How can I turn this automatic correcting OFF?  I am a relatively new user of Pages and cannot find a means of turning the autocorrect OFF.or of setting the number formatting rules.

    Pages v5.5.2 does not change 0800, or 20.00 when entered as body text for me. There is nothing in substitution, or Pages preferences settings that can effect these values.
    However, when typed in a Pages table cell with the wrong data format, mischief does occur. In order to preserve 0800, select the Cell tab on the format panel, and set the cell data format to Text, or a custom data format. To preserve 20.00, you must set that cell data format to either Automatic with 2 decimals, or Number with 2 decimals.

  • I am a Brit living in Germany. I really need to be able to purchase from the German iTunes Store (in €) and the English one (in £). How can I set this up from my iPad?

    Technically correct (the best kind of correct)
    Now if the Op has and retains a UK account with billing address and UK paymant card - He/She can continue to use the UK store in Germany - Apple does NOT use IP address blocking just a valid paymant card attached to a postcode !
    Basically the first four of your paymant card are country codes.
    What the op needs to do if he/she now has a Germany address and payment method (could just be German € value gift cards) is to open a separate German iTunes Account !
    On a PC/Mac its very easy to change stores, however iOS has it a bit more difficult.
    In fact i would recommend the Op sets up a new German account and credentials on a PC/Mac first.
    And doing so just means opening the store in iTunes scrolling to the bottom of the screen and clicking on the littler circular flag in the bottom right.
    After that the browser window is populated with loads of similar disc flags. Clicking any take you to that regional store where provided you have a valid address (Postcode/Zipcode actually) and payment method local credit/debit some prepayment VISA cards or just a gift card you can create a local account.
    Oh and because Apple do NOT use IP addressing you don't actually have to be present in the country of that store. Its against to terms of the EULA but it works !
    Back to the iOS device
    Tap Settings/iTunes & App Store /Apple ID (that will probably be showing the UK account set up).
    In the window that opens tap log out
    Now  change the ID to the new German name and password and in the next window make sure the flag selected is that of Germany (when in Germany)
    When buying from the UK store follow that path again log out of the German account and re-log in using the UK ID
    As it happens I have a UK Portuguese and US account all active because I have residences in all three - and can visit any of the stores from anywhere.

  • How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
    i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
    unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
    factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
    connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
    create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
    login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
    add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

  • Hi, I want to use my Capsule just as a back up via wireless. How do I set this up without connecting it with an ethernet cable to either a router or the iMac??

    Hi, I want to use my Capsule just as a back up via wireless. How do I set this up without connecting it with an ethernet cable to either a router or the iMac??

    I misunderstood what Time Capsule is and had hoped for a wireless backup device that didn't have to be connected to the router.
    The TC is a wireless backup device.. it does not need to be connected to the main router..
    The problem is the computer.. not the TC.. the computer has only one wireless card.. if your current internet is by wireless.. then you must choose.. internet or backup.
    But my other suggestion will work.. get a wireless USB stick compatible with Mac OS.. there are plenty and cheap.. since you are in the same room as the TC they will work fine.. plug it in and load the driver.. taint hard.
    You should do the first backup by ethernet though.. wireless is too slow.. once you have that, you will do fine.
    Search ebay for wireless n usb.. Mac compatible..

    As you can see.. they are getting smaller and neater.
    I have no idea if it works .. haven't tried one.. but I have used USB wireless stick on the Mac to overcome this issue.
    You will need to set static IP .. not hard but you need to set specifics if you do buy one post again for the setup.

  • Can two different Apple ID's share itunes content? if so , how do i set this up?

    Can two different Apple ID's share itunes content? If so , how do i set this up?

    Hello mqg13,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    How do you mean "share iTunes content?" You are able to purchase and download from one Apple ID on multiple devices, simply follow the steps in the article below:

  • E-mail synch, read/unread, how can I set this up?

    I'd like to refer to an older question I found which hadn't been answered properly.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3557308?start=0&tstart=0
    Quite simply, the question is;
    I have my work e-mail, my Hotmail and my Gmail all set-up on my iPhone 4S and my iPad 1st gen.
    When I read an e-mail on the computer via browser or outlook, I would like for this e-mail to appear as READ on my devices as well.
    Vise versa for when I read it on the iPad/Phone and I want that e-mail to show as read on Outlook and browser.
    Because this doesn't happen automatically, the Mail icon on my home screen is constantly showing over 1K e-mails, when in reality I may have like 10 on each e-mail account.
    How can I set this up?
    Is it possible for my to set this up for deleting e-mails also?
    I know I can do that on Gmail, delete from server blah blah, but how about when I delete e-mail from Outlook...I want them to be off my phone also.
    It's a business e-mail, and I get like over 50 read/received notifications that spam my inbox.
    Thank you for taking the time to read and for any advice you may have.

    Please go to
    1.Setting
    2. mail,contacts and calenders
    3. add accounts
    4. insert your email account and password
    5. Autometically imports your mails if you open mail folder on the desktop..
    That is it.

  • My husband and I share one computer.  We want to be able to share the same music on our iPhones, but we don't want to share the same contacts and applications.  How can I set this up so we still share music, but everything else is separate on our iPhones?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. You can both use the same ID for the store login and share your music etc., and use different ID's to log in to iCloud, thereby keeping your calendars etc separate.

  • I just purchased the airport Express to use in hotels while traveling to create a wireless network from the hotels wired dsl.  A friend said to set up the network from home prior to traveling.  How do I set this up?  Thanks.

    In addition to RyanJC's comments, the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can store up to five different http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108081 configuration profiles. You will need to use the AirPort Utility to create & save these profiles.
    To create a new profile:
    Open AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
    From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
    Click "+" to create a new profile; give it a name, and then, click OK.
    Set options, such as network name, passwords, Internet connection method, etc.
    When done setting the options, click Update.
    To switch profiles:
    Open the AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
    From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
    Click on the desired profile, and then, click OK to apply the new profile and restart the AX.
    Just remember to switch to the desired configuration profile before removing power from the AX.

  • I am trying to set up icloud on my new device. However it keeps showing hte message account not verified, check your email. I have tried looking for email there is nothing. How do I set this up?

    I am trying to set up icloud on my new device. However it keeps showing the message - account not verified, check your email. I have looked for email and there is nothing. How do I set this up?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is.  I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

    I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

    I think this is a serious design flaw on Apple's part, and I'm surprised it's lingered as long as it has - the monitors are just not adjustable.
    About the only way you can raise the monitor is to stand it on something. If you're in an office, reams of copier paper seem to work well, as tacky as that may be.

    What does the family WiFi have to do with iCloud? iCloud is on Apple's servers.
    If it is a shared computer what you can do is create a new user ID on the computer. Log in with the new ID. This will give you a "clean" iTunes library that you can use for backing up the the old phone and syncing the new phone.
