Airport Disable Permanent

I have 250 Mac differenet Versions MAC OS X 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8
I have an issue that in my all Mac's Internet is allow, i can not disable internet.
All mac's have admin permission, Users in my office share internet through airport and running internet in there mobiles.
How can i disable airport in my mac in all versions, so that no one can use airport for internet sharing.
In my office there is no need of Airpot while disable permanently of airport there will be no issue.

Workgroup Manager will allow you to fairly easily disable airport on each machine, or per user (at least on 10.6+ - I don't recall if the same or similar was available for earlier OS X versions. An admin can override with a little effort, of course - but otherwise you'd have to remove the drivers.

Plugging working internet cable into Airport disables connection

I updated MacBook Pro to 10.7.3 and Airport 7.6.1. Now Airport utility shows I have no internet connection, no DNS and ethernet is unplugged (yellow indicator for internet and flashing yellow indicator for airport in utility). If I plug ethernet cable into my MacBook Pro, internet works fine (internet light shows green in Airport utility, Airport light flashes yellow), but as soon as I plug the cable back into the Airport station, the internet light goes back to yellow and the Airport light continues to flash yellow. In other words, plugging a working ethernet cable into Airport disables the connection. I can't figure out what's going on. Any help please!

I reinstalled combo update, unplugged airport and cable modem for an hour, reconnected both and all is well again.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Can Time Machine be disabled permanently?

I'm in the middle of partitioning a brand new external hard drive (compliments of LaCie - the original (500 GB) had a faulty FW port; they replaced it with a refurb which had a defective on/off switch, so they just sent me a brand new 1 TB model - nice!!); in any case, I choose not to use Time Machine (I prefer a bootable clone) and I've now been prompted (annoyed) with the "do you want to use this for Time Machine" several times; it happens every time I wipe a partition for instance. I have never enabled Time Machine; it's never been turned on or otherwise activated.
Is there a way to stop Time Machine from asking me/disable it permanently?

Barbara Daniels1 wrote:
Basically, I don't need or want an hourly backup - if it could be set to backup once a week at most I'd possibly use it;
Time Machine is set to automatically back up every hour, but if you would like to change it, you can use the following Terminal (/Applications/Utilities) command:
You will need to authenticate as an administrator, since this command is run under a "sudo." The time interval is measured in seconds, so you can enter any time you wish there; just make sure it is in seconds.
The ex. by default, Time Machine backs up every 3600 seconds (every hour.) <integer>3600</integer>
sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto StartInterval -int 3600
Like wise you can manually edit the plist
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto.plist
You can check my math but I believe once a week would be 604800 seconds.
Hope this helps

Help! My ipad is disabled permanently (password problems) what can I do??

So I came home, reached out to my iPad, just to find these words: "iPad is disabled; connect to iTunes" .... This is probably because a younger family member was fiddling with the password. ...Where do I go to fix this??

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Instructions can be found here.

Make sure that you pay attention to the section at the very of the article that talks about having never synced your iPad with iTunes. You may need have to restore the iPad that way.

Airport disabled on macbook pro

One the road in Canada, I bought a linksys router for our offices here, I usually toss the disc because macs dont need all that setup, but this time I decided to run the disc, I thought it odd that it wanted me to connect the ethernet cable for a wireless conection but I did it anyway, now my Macbook is configured as a wired machine, airport is disconected and turned off I cant turn it back on, in the menu bar it says not configured, when i try to makke it active and turn ot on it jumps back to built in ethernet, linksys was no help.

Hello, SabotageX.
The easiest way to get it to connect via AirPort is to disconnect the Ethernet.
However, if this is not an option, here's how you can get the computer to choose AirPort over Ethernet when possible:
Step 1: Go to the "Network" pane of System Preferences.
Step 2: If necessary, authenticate.
Step 3: Choose "Set Service Order…" from the menu with the gear. It's next to the + and - buttons.
Step 4: Drag "AirPort" to the top of the list and press "OK."

IPhone 3G disabled permanently?

My iPhone 3G is disabled because my kids entered the security code incorrectly too many times. It requires me to sync with iTunes. iTunes requires me to unlock it before it will sync. I cannot reset to factory default because you have to connect to iTunes to start that process. It is no longer active with AT&T or any other provider. I've scoured the forums and can't find an answer.
Any ideas?

You must place the iPhone into recovery mode, which will require restoring the iPhone with iTunes.

Disable Airport when Ethernet is connected

Hi,
Please, for the love of all things good can someone help!!!!
I need Airport to be disabled when the ethernet is connected. I have a large network of macs all bound to OD and all my desktop macs have airport disabled through a group policy. The laptops on the other hand are proving to be a problem. I can disable Airport using OD but when the laptop is disconnected from the network the Airport stays disabled even after a reboot, not good when your a laptop user.
I've looked at scripts that monitor the ethernet status and disabled Airport when the ethernet is assigned an IP however I can only find scripts for 10.5/10.6 and not 10.7 or 8.
I'm sure this must be a common situation and something that you should be able to do via OD but I just can't get it to work. I really need to get this sorted asap as after three weeks of trying to get this to work my boss is on my back!!!!! Basically we can't have any wifi connections open or available when connected to our wired network.

Alas we need to stop users from having the ability to disable their ethernet and use wifi. I did think about removing the pref pane for networking but they need it when out and about.
I found this which seems to work but does not make Airport active when ethernet is disconnected so I'm halfway there at least.

How can I permanent disable Game Center?!

Okay, I'm on iOS 6, every time I play game (i.e. slots journey) the Game Center kept on pop up for me to log in. I cancel it and start play the game. How can I permanent DISABLE the Game Center?! This annoy me. I don't like when the Game Center automatically login. How in the world did it automatically login without it even ask for me to enter?! I want it OFF AND DISABLED PERMANENTLY!!!! :(

I agree. I wish I could just remove this utterly useless app. I wouldn't have upgraded to ios6 I'd I knew that this update would be the most annoying thing to happen to iPhones since Angry Birds. One of the few things that helps me cope with the constant meltdown that is human society are my iPhone games. Now, I can't log into a single one without being nagged to log into Game Center. Guess what Apple? I'm not using your piece of crap app. Its bad enough that the App Store barely functions, but now you want to force users to use this crappy app that the vast majority of us don't use, don't want, and have no purpose for. If I wanted to have meaningless competitions with the boneheads who insist on calling themselves my "friends", I'd grab a measuring stick and drop my pants with them.
Nagging users to death doesn't make them any more excited about a stupid, worthless app that was made for the sake of appearing "cutting edge".

BIOS option to "permanently disable" Computrace

Hi,
In the T500 BIOS Setup is the option:
Security:Computrace: Computrace Module Activation
with 3 possible values:
Enabled (default?)
Disabled
Permanently Disabled
I think I understand how Computrace BIOS works: on boot the BIOS checks and makes sure the necessary drivers/services are present in the OS filesystem before the supported OS boots. The Computrace service then runs "hidden" in the OS and periodically phones home.
What I'd like to know is what happens if I select the BIOS option "Permanently Disabled". Is the Computrace checker/loader deleted from the BIOS? Is it possible to ever turn Computrace back on at a later date, perhaps by flashing the BIOS?
Thanks,
Frank

Go to Solution.

This field lets you Activate or Disable the BIOS module interface of the optional Computrace(R) Service from Absolute(R) Software. The Computrace agent from Absolute Software is a service solution designed to help track assets and provide recovery services in the event the notebook is lost or stolen. The Computrace agent communicates with the Absolute Software Monitoring Server at programmed intervals to provide the tracking service. By activating the service, you consent to the transmission of information from and to your computer and the Absolute Software Monitoring Server. The Computrace service is purchased as a separate option and the monitoring Server will enable its agent security module through an interface provided by the BIOS. The Computrace tracking agent can only be used in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Computrace(R) and Absolute(R) are registered trademarks of Absolute Software Corporation.
Disable = Permanently block the Computrace module interface.
Deactivate = Block the Computrace module interface (default).
Activate = Permit the Computrace module interface.
The Absolute Anti-Theft solution is presently Deactivated. Note that the Activate or Disable options will permanently Activate or Disable the feature and no further changes will be allowed.
Also, if people are wondering about the service - for home users you can get info here: http://www.lojackforlaptops.com/learnmore.asp
For all of the software solutions - the info is here: http://www.absolute.com/
do you have renter's or home owners insurance? if so, it isn't worth it.
second, it only works if someone is going to use it on the internet.
third, you should read the terms for recovery http://www.absolute.com/PDF/EULA.pdf
which means that even if they recover the lappie, they do not cover the fact that it may be damaged or data lost. you must also always have it automatically loaded to connect regularily...if you are travelling and using dial up that may mean extra phone expenses. once lappie is located, the cops have to get the lappie...if it is outside recovery territory, your loss. it is recovery and not insurance in case of theft. and the nice catcher that if you didn't take precautions to safeguard against the theft, then it doesn't guarantee the recovery nor pay the $1000 if they cannot recover it (para 8.9). another important note, is that $1000 is max, and decreases annually (para 9).
prices are:
LoJack for Laptops - 4 year term US$119.99
LoJack for Laptops - 3 year term US$99.99
LoJack for Laptops - 2 year term US$79.99
LoJack for Laptops - 1 year term US$49.99
if you have insurance, i think it is absurd to buy these things. it is like buying lojack for a car, rather useless.

IOS 7.1 update problem. Wifi disabled, no longer works. Disappointed with apple response

I have several IOS devices and updated each of them to Apple's release of IOS 7.1.
Unfortunately my iPhone 4s did not update successfully. It was affected by the widely reported issue regarding WiFi being disabled permanently. After the update to IOS 7.1, wifi is no longer an accessible option on the IPhone 4s.
After doing some online research and identifying this as a common problem, I tried some of the suggestions available online such as resetting settings and restoring from backup. None of these suggestions worked.
I brought the iPhone 4s to the apple store at the Rideau Center in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and spoke to one of the employees. He stated that it was not an apple issue and that it was a problem with my phone that would cost $200 to resolve. He said that it was not a problem related to the ios 7.1 update and that it was a "coincidence" that it happened at the same time as the update to ios 7. 1 and was probably an issue with the wifi chip.
It is surprising to me that applying an update recommended by apple and using the iPhone 4s in the manner in which it was designed (using wifi) would cause this basic function (wifi) to cease to function.
Wifi is an essential part of my day to day use of this device. I am appalled that apple is denying the problem and has no resolution for it.
If anyone else this problem, please go to your nearest apple store and let this forum know your experience in getting the issue resolved.

Somewhere in there, is there a question for us, your fellow users in these user to user support forums?
