Need a secure network when using iPad

I have a iMac with an airport extreme card built in. I use a Westell 7500 DSL modem to connect to the internet. The modem has wireless capability. I can establish a wireless network using airport. I went into network preferences and set up WPA2 Personal security and entered a password under the network I am using, but the network is not password secured. When turning on aiport on the iPad, I join my network without having to enter a password. I want to have to enter the password on my ipad when using this network so I am sure others in the area will have to know the password to have access to my network.
Thank you

According to the information you provided, you want to add a security password to secure your network.
Your wireless network is created on your Westell 7500. So if you want to add a password to secure your network, you have to add it on the router settings, not on the iMac settings. If you're not sure how to do that, you have to contact your ISP (internet service provider) for further assistance.

Ques;How do you secure imail when used being used in iweb. People can mess

How do you secure imail when used being used in iweb? People can mess w/my settings in iweb imail window.

What is iMail?
And what is an iWeb iMail window?
iWeb is part of iLife 06 which is an application used to create websites hosted on .Mac.
Are you referring to Apple's Mail application and webmail access using a browser such as Safari to access your .Mac account?
Which people can mess with what settings? You shouldn't allow anyone else to access your Mac when logged in to your account and home folder/directory. OS X was designed for multiple users of the same Mac with each regular user having their own computer login account (with or without admin privileges) and associated home folder/directory to store and access their data and settings for their login account only.

Please help Internet goes down when using iPad and Mac book pro at samtime

When I am using my iPad and my wife is using her Mac book pro at the same time we both lose Internet connection. We are using a gateway 2wire wireless router supplied by AT&T. Both devices have the latest updates we have reset network settings reentered wep password rebooted router and restarted both devices with no luck. We bought both of them at the same time so we are new to the Mac world, not sure if it is related but our new 2nd gen apple tv also seems to power on for no reason even after I put it to sleep and the remote is put away so no accidental bumps. The apple tv is connected via an either net cable not wifi. Any info would help thanks.

The fact that your using WEP security could be the problem. Try switching your router security settings to WPA or WPA2 with AES. If you don't know how id suggest contacting your internet service provider to get directions on changing the wifi security settings. The iPads wifi chipset supports AES encryption at the hardware level which increases performance and battery life. I'm not sure about your Macbook though.

Why cant I send emails, or open folders, from my Outlook email when using ipad. My Outlook is functioning normally when accessed from laptop.

Why am I unable to send emails or open folders from my Outlook email when using my iPad? My Outlook is functioning normally when accessed from my laptop. This problem has been going on for three days now - everything was functioning normally before. I have looked at the standard troubleshooting suggestions provided by Apple, but they do not appear to cover this eventuality. I should be most grateful for any help.

HT1947 Why can't I see all songs for an artist when using iPad remote for home sharing music through apple tv.

Why can't I see all my songs for an artist when I search by artist using iPad remote? I'm listening to music via home sharing through apple tv using iPad 2 as my remote. All my songs seem to be listed fine under "songs", but when I select "artist" many of the songs I have for that artist are not there, any idea why that is or how I can fix this.....I suspect it's because many songs may not be associated with an album and it seems only songs in albums are displayed when I search by artist.

Thanks Ferretbite, but that's not the issue in my case, the songs are not part of a compilation. I just checked several of them and the "Part of a compilation" box is unchecked.....it seems as if the song does not have an album associated with it, it will not display under the artist when I search by artist on the iPad remote which REALLY stinks.
Hope someone else might have a solution.

Security Violation when using -link to sun APIs

I'm interested in a work around for this irritating (but non-critical) bug:
When I create application docs that -link to the sun APIs, moving from my Javadoc pages to the sun API pages causes a browser security violation:
Line: 13
Error: Access is denied.
The offending function is:
function asd()
parent.document.title="Object (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.0)";
You see, from my application, the 'parent' domain isn't java.sun.com.
Only programmers see this in any significant way (with a debug dialog box popping up.) Others just see 'done with errors on page.'
Can this get fixed? How? When?
Thanks,

This is a known bug:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4645058.html
We hope to fix this for 1.4.2, but cannot guarantee it.
The purpose of this Javascript is when using frames, it puts the
name of the class in the window title. This enables you to
not only see the name of the class when the window is open,
but also see the name of the class when the window is
minimized and appears on the Windows task bar.
In the example shown, "Object" is the name of the class.
The bug might be due to the fact that the <SCRIPT>
element is neither in the <HEAD> nor in the <BODY>,
but between them.

My iPad 2 certainly does not do this with its magnetic cover. I call BS on this -- there's no way that happens as you've described.

Any limited access of international sim when using ipad cellular?

if i purchased an Ipad in Singapore, is it usual to use Vietnam nano sim without any limitation? Do i have any other actions for setting up? (as I've seen in the website ipad wifi + cellular in Sing selling with contract with Star hub, singtel..etc?

Yes I know. I work for an Investment Bank and luckily I had my iPhone to hand. The bank is/was considering the iPAD as an option for travellers but Apple need this to be sorted first. In the meantime simply remove the batteries from the keyboard when travelling. Other than this problem it's fantastic. I got loads done on the plane and happy to report I got 9hours of typing, music and video out of it during a flight from Heathrow to Vancouver and it was still showing 20% power left !!!! Brilliant !!!! Oh ... and Airport security didn't ask me to take it out of my briefcase like they do with my laptop.
