Ad-hoc network from mac 10.5.8 to ipad 3 for internet.

Is it possible to create ad-hoc network so that it can work with ipad for file sharing, internet without buying any other wi fi router or airport/capsule?
What else can be done with such network with respect to ipad 3?

I found one app for streaming from mac to ipad 3(also drm movies)-
http://www.airplayit.com/streaming-video.htm.
I now want a reccomendation for buying go flex wifi or time capsule if movies are of large size 1080p size 12 gb.

TS2972 I cannot seem to get all of my music shared across the network from my MacBook Pro to my iPad. This was not an issue a few days ago. Can anyone help?

I cannot seem to get all of my music shared across the network from my MacBook Pro to my iPad. This was not an issue a few days ago. I can see all my songs if sorted that way, but if i sort by artist, only a few of them are present. Can anyone help or have any insight?

Well I didn't think of it before, but I logged out of my apple ID othe iPad's home sharing. The I logged back in and it worked. It's a little weird, but I will take it. Thanks!

How do I downgrade from Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 for my wife , me and my office

how do I downgrade from Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 for my wife , me and my office

You cannot downgrade a machine that shipped with 10.7 installed. Such a machine can only run 10.7 or later. As for the older machines, you would need to use the old Mac OS X install disks to erase the hard drive and reinstall the system.
I don't really understand the issue regarding minimizing windows. If the difficulty is that you want to use the green "+" button in the iTunes window's title bar to resize the window rather than toggling between the full window and the simplified window with only play controls, that is not unique to Lion. That has behaved the same way for some time. Try option-clicking on the "+" button.

How do i remove "network" from Mac Name Devices?

Im currently setting up an apple network to work with my Active Directory and so far so good. I have Active Directory authenticating users and open directory restricting access to features. In Finder i have been able to create a policy to remove the objects from the side panel e.g shared, places and devices. My problem is i am unable to remove "network" from clicking "mac name". The reason for me doing this is because it opens a massive security hole in my network. When i map/mount a windows directory e.g The users home directory, it then displays every share on that server apart from the hidden shares when you go to network>servername. Its not possible to hide all the shares because they are needed by windows e.g Netlogon and SYSVOL. So my question is how can i remove or can i remove Network
Thanks

But they can also be accessed by Windows, also when they are NOT visible. So just by hiding the folder, you don't add any security. If it had to be accessed there is always a way to without seeing the symbol. Set up ACL permissions for the shares so users can only access data they are authorized to.

Stream content from Mac to Apple TV via iPad

I'm setting up a music centre in my home theatre room for all my old records as well as digital music. All the digital music will be controlled by my iPad (yet to purchase) through my Apple TV and to my sound system.
Though I don't want to store all the music on my iPad, as my music collection is constantly growing, I can't justify the purchase of a 64GB iPad, and I'd rather have all my music on just one device.
What I'd like to do is stream my music from my Macbook Pro, through my Apple TV, to my sound system, but controlled from my iPad. This way my Macbook Pro can stay docked in my office, yet I still have access to play the music on my sound system without having to walk back and forth from the office.
Does anyone know what the process might be to set something like this up, if possible?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
- Matt

You can do this either from the music app on the iPad or from the remote app, it's quite simple and intuitive. Once you get the iPad it should be quite apparent how it works. If you aren't sure at that time post back.

Can i use new TC to connect wirelessly to home network and plug my tv into the time capsule for internet connectivity?

My new tv needs to plug into an ethernet port for internet connectivity.
I'm hoping it can plug into my TC however my TC is wirelessly connected to my current home network... how can i get this to work?
TC version A1470 (i think, brand new)
Many thanks.
Ben

If the TC is connected to a wireless network provided by another Apple router, then the TC extends the network by default, and the Ethernet ports are enabled on the TC.
If the TC is connected to a third party network wirelessly, then it must have been setup to "join" the wireless network. When the TC is set up this way, the TC becomes a wireless hard drive and nothing more. The Ethernet ports are not enabled when the TC "joins" a wireless network.
So, a logical first troubleshooting step would be to confirm "how" the TC is currently set up. To do that.....assuming that you are using a current or recent version of AirPort Utility on your Mac.......
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the TC icon, then click Edit in the smaller window
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the window
Check the setting for Network Mode and report on that

Does Mac Pro use ethernet 1 by default for internet ? (dual nic question)

Greets all - loving my Mac Pro so far and will likely never have a pc only again - as already switched to macbook pro a year ago - (boot camp still for the pc games at times but rather be in OS X and fusion anyday)
Anyway at home I have both a Cable Modem and DSL - the wife and I both work in IT and every once in a while one or the other goes out and if we cant get in remotely at all times its a problem
I use the cable modem and the DSL is routed through an Apple Time Capsule to her Imac and kids pc's
I hooked in the TC to my second NIC as occasionally I want to get files off it - and it showed up fine - running tracert and speedtest.net shows my internet access still going through port 1 through the cable modem
This is what I want as it is faster overall but I was curious if anyone knows if by default OS X will always use eth 1 for internet and only eth 2 when I try and access the Time Capsule (have extra hd off it on usb also) or that subnet ? Or do I need to so something to force it to always use eth1 for internet access
(starting to read up on the aggregation possibilities but wanted to see the basics of how it works like this first)

OS X uses the connection that is first in the list of ports in Network preferences. You can rearrange by clicking on the options button below the list, select re-order, then arrange. OS X also by default connects to the Ethernet port to which the cable is connected unless you have both ports connected to separate routers. Then the order is determined by the port listing.

Since the most recent Firefox update I have been unable to click through links from Windows Live to Firefox, but it works for Internet explorer?? Any explanations?

Firefox is my default browser and since the most recent Firefox update I have been unable to click through links I receive from Windows Live Email to the Firefox browser, but it works if my browser is set to IE9?? I have checked the defaults settings and both are fine, so Any explanations or ideas on how to solve this?

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

How do I transfer apps from Mac App Store to my ipad?

Before I bought and iPad, I purchased Diner Dash for my Mac using the Mac App store in the dock. I'm trying to transfer Diner Dash from my Mac onto my iPad too and I can't seem to figure out how. Please help!

You can't; Mac App Store applications only work on Macs. As the developer needs to create and maintain the two versions separately, having bought one doesn't entitle you to a free download of the other.

HT4236 Iphoto syncing issue from Mac to gen. 1 IPAD.

I synced my photos from my iphoto on my Mac to my 1 gen. IPAD. I watched all of the photos being synced one by one. Once this was completed I tried to view my photos and there was nothing there that I had just synced. When I go to my summary page on my IPAD using ITunes, the memory was actually taken out of "other" instead of photo (the amount of memory it would have used the sync all of the photos I did). What would cause this, where can I view the photos? Has anyone else out there had this issue?
Thanks!
West Palm

This is a long shot but close iPhoto, go to your Pictures folder and open the iPhoto package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot
Look for a folder named iPod Photo Cache
Move it to the Trash in the Dock. That's a folder that will be recreated then next time you sync.
Launch iPhoto and try syncing the iPad again.

How to transfer kindle books from MAC to kindle app on iPad

I have 980 kindle books on my MacBook Pro and would like to put them on the iPad and use on the Kindle app. How do I do this?

Last I checked, you could not sync Kindle books directly from the computer but rather have to download them from Amazon. You can check with Amazon's support and confirm, but I don't see anything on their site about synching from your computer.
Regards.

I lost some of my contacts from both my iphone 5 and ipad I for no reason at all...how can I obtain the info back?

I woke up one morning this week to find that some of my contacts have been deleted from my iphone 5 and ipad first generation. This is very random and my icloud is not showing the missing numbers either. Does anyone know if there are any other back ups that apple has to the contact lists? or How I can retrieve them?

Do you see those in www.icloud.com? Yes- sign in to icloud on the phone.
No- how did you get those to the ipad?

TS2634 I cannot print from my ipad. The wireless is connected, I have no trouble printing from my computer. When the ipad looks for the printer it comes back with the message. "Air printer not found" What can I do to correct this? P S Ipad2 is only 1 mont

I cannot print from my ipad. It is connected to the wireless okay. I have only had this ipad for a month and while I am not sure I think it has been okay to print before 2 days ago, when I tried to print and I got the message "Airprinter not found" Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do about it? I have no trouble printing from my computer.

... Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do about it?
I rebooted my Airport Extreme.
Try rebooting your router. Make sure its firmware is updated.

URGENT: How to connect iPhone to internet over ad-hoc wi-fi network from MacBook?

I need to access the internet over wi-fi on my iPhone, but there is no wi-fi network I can use, so I am creating one with my MacBook. I choose "Create Network…" from the Airport menu on my Macbook, and I am able to connect my iPhone to the ad-hoc network I have made, but I can't access the internet with it, for some reason.
I think this might have something to do with one of the following two things, but I'm not sure:
1.) In system prefs > network on my Macbook, it says:
"Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.83.143 and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
2.) Also in system prefs > network, under 802.1X, it says: "Authentication server is not responding".
Any help will be deeply appreciated.

To add more, when looking at the network (you have to be on it or near it) in your list, click the blue arrow next to it to get the settings for that network. On that screen you can tell it to forget.

Using airport time capsule to create an internet connected network from pre existing wifi network

i bought an airport time capsule for college. I bought it to create a network for my dorm room so that I could take the pre existing wifi from the school and make my own mini network that I can hook my other stuff up to. Problem is that I don't have an ethernet hook up in my room so the network would have to be created from a wifi network rather that a ethernet hook up. Is this still possible? Alternate suggestions? I am afraid of either the college network blocking users from communication with other devices via the wifi, or the fact that my printer would be on a huge network for all to screw with.

Is this still possible?
NO, it won't work. Apple only works with apple.
Alternate suggestions?
I am sure your college has rules about not running your own wifi networks.. but anyway.. that is up to you.. the Apple TC cannot turn off 2.4ghz which would be handy.. so the only way to do this following the rules is ethernet. You can run a full network standalone on ethernet. And still use wireless for internet.
If you want to use wireless standalone this is also possible but you need to connect a second wifi USB dongle your Mac so you can have two networks at once.. You can use an express to connect to the college wireless and bridge that to the TC by ethernet.. then use the TC to create your own network.. since you cannot turn off 2.4ghz I guess how long the College IT people take to track you down should be hours. If you could just use 5ghz it would probably be ok.
