Airport not an option in sharing

I wan to share my connection from broadband to computers using airport but airport is not an option. I am running 10.4.8 . I have repaired permissions several times and that didn't help. I was able to share a connection before updating to 10.4.8
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you use PPPoE to connect to Internet you need to "hack" the NAT config adding "ppp0" as the shared interface.
You get at the settings by dragging the little icon in NAT config in Server Admin in the lower right corner to the desktop, open the resulting file with an editor, edit the file, save and drag it back into the NAT config window.

No, you cannot seperate the audio and video stream.
You can use optical audio to a sound system (I use sony sound bar) and play the audio via that.

Airport Express, Leopard and Internet Sharing

I have my internet connection running directly to my iMac's ethernet connection and I use the Internet Sharing option to share my connection with computers. I had been using my Airport Express just to connect to my iMac for Airtunes. My Airport Express has stopped working and is not located unless I shut off Internet Sharing, but if I turn that off, it will not let me set the Airport Express to connect to an existing network - I guess because the network does not exist because I shut it off to configure the Airport Express. This is driving me crazy - any thoughts?

Interestingly, it works again. To initially configure the Airport Express, I had to shut off internet sharing. I configured the Airport Express (I did a hard reset to clear everything out) using the Airport Utility and set it to join an existing network. Of course my network did not show up since I had shut internet sharing off, but I manually typed in the name and password that I had already set for the internet sharing. I also put in a name and password for the base station, but this isn't required.
Then I hit update and right when it says that the configuration has been changed and it is waiting for the Airport Express to restart, I turned internet sharing back on. I waited and after flashing yellow for a while it connected. I unplugged it and plugged it back in to make sure it was fully configured and it works. I have found in the past the unplugging and plugging back in solves a lot of problems too.
Now that it is all set up, I can see and reconfigure the Airport Express in the Airport Utility even when internet sharing is on.
Hope this helps.

IPhoto won't show my shared photo stream as an option when sharing a photo

Hello all,
I am running Mavericks 10.9 and iPhoto 9.5.
I am trying to share some photos and videos from iPhoto on my iMac. I am the owner of a shared photostream, and when I select a photo or video, and select "Share," the shared photostream does not appear as an option.
On my iPhone, there are no problems sharing to this photostream. As far as I can tell, there have been no problems syncing with iCloud in general between my devices.
I have tried disabling and re-enabling my main Photostream, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I have tried selecting this option via System Prefs, and it too doesn't seem to change anything. The main photostream will show as an option for sharing when enabled, but the shared photostream will not appear whether it is enabled or not.
Again, I can access the shared stream via my iPhone, but I'd like to be able to do it as well from my iMac. Any suggestions? I have a feeling it's supposed to work a bit smoother than this...:)
Thank you!

I had this problem too and people suggested switching off all the photosharing stuff, shutting down iphoto and then opening it back up and switching it all back on again.
This seemed to do the trick for me, but it's just taking a while for all the photos to download from the cloud again!

Network devices not showing up under "shared" in finder bar

Ok so i have a network that consists of a maxtor nas device, 2 win xp pc's, 1 win7 pc, d-link 524 router, and my macbook pro. I would like to be able to transfer files between my mac and the devices and use the printer attached to my maxtor. My issue is that none of the computers show up under the "shared" section of finder or under network. I use to have this issue with leopard but it resolved itself. Now under snow leopard for a couple months and i have yet to get it work. I can access my mac and other pcs from a pc. Anyone know how to get my network to show up on my mac?

Your problem is very common under Snow. At first my shares did not show up under shared in finder windows. I, then, of course, used "Connect to Server" to connect to the shares--both Mac and PC. I found that the more I kept the shares active the more likely they were show up under shared. Then, I discovered that if I kept the computers from sleeping during the period of needed access they would tend to stay in shared without nearly so much keeping the connections active.
If you do not like the above work around, then there are two other possibilities. You can elect to show mounted items on your desktop. Do that and connect to each share. Then, go > users > unlock > + login options > try dragging the mounted shares to the login item window. If successful, then the shares should be available at login.
Another approach is to mount and connect as indicated above. Then, making an alias to the share should at least make things faster.

Airport not shown in interconnect connect

still can't access airport extreme. airport not shown as an option in interconnect connect. am i missing a chunk of software? If so, how can i get it? spotlight search for "airport' reveals only the two utilities from the installation. should there be something else, an extension or something?

Hi Gino, thanks for your answer. Airport is not shown in the list of network devices! There is no Airport icon in the menu. It's almost as if the Airport function was never installed. I have no way to turn it on or off because it's not listed anywhere. Mac & base station are right next to each other.
This is a new APBS & I've never used Airport before. It appears that the APBS software CD installs only the Admin and Setup utilities. Is there more to the Airport function than these 2 utilities? Is there a way to install the Airport function (system software? haven't been able to find anything).
Many thanks to you & this forum!

The storage where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual disk sharing

Hi everyone,
I deployed 2 hyper v vitual machines a while ago, and i did that because I needed to test my current game Project, which is an
online game. However, i've had some problems with my Windows installation then I had to reset the pc by making it a refresh
install. I still have the hyper v virtual disks, but i cannot attach it to a new hyper-v virtual machine. it pops up this message:
"the storage
where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual disk sharing". I dont know anything about virtual machines, so I
didnt know I had to make the disk sharable. How can I force to attach the hard disk to a new hyper-v? I dont want to go t
hrough the whole proccess of installing the operating system all over again and updating it....
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Romulo Romero

Hi MrDebugging,
>>
When I Try to add a SCSI Controller, and then I click browse to add a UNC I get this:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual hard disks\ClienMachine.vhdx
but I tried placing in different location, and the same problem occurs!
By the way, Im not on a server , I am a domestic user and I am running it on my
Windows 8.1
According to the error message , it seems that it is not a permission issue .
The VM is Gen 1 or Gen2 ?
Generally the error message occurs when you enable "shared vhdx" on standalone/client hyper-v host :
Please try to attach the VHDx file to IDE controller if it is a Gen 1 virtual machine (because only the SCSI controller has the option "virtual hard disk sharing" and Gen 1 VM only can boot from IDE )
All in all , please do not use this feature without CSV or Scale-Out File Server with SMB 3.0 on file-based storage .
If it is not the case , please detail steps what you did .
Best Regards,
Elton Ji

Wpa not available for internet sharing

Hiya,
Just want to verify:
WPA is not available for internet sharing over airport card?
All that is available is old insecure WEP. Updated to airport 4.2, but the config utilities only apply to base station / express. So, if sharing a connection over airport card then we're stuck with the 'laughable' security of WEP.
This is true?
Why? Is it impossible to add WPA for sharing?
Please confirm if anyone knows...
thanks!
12 powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Problem is solved, although I do not really know why:
My parent's email address is [email protected] since years. In my address book I have both addresses: [email protected] and [email protected]
Somehow their FaceTime used their mac.com address and after we changed that to [email protected] everything is fine now, I can reach them via FaceTime.
I hope this helps somebody.

When I turned on my device the inbox mail was empty, in time machine does not show options to find old back up, only inbox is not listed... how I can get my inbox emails back?

I turned my macbook on and all the emails of inbox were gone. In time machine, only the inbox option does not shows option to get back old back ups... how I can get my inbox emails?

I figured it out. I couldn't see the old backups because the sparsebundle had not been properly unmounted in a previous session, so it kept giving an "already in use" error. The problem was solved by restarting the Time Capsule through the Airport Utility, mounting the sparsebundle by double-clicking it, and then going through the "Browse other backup disks" option in the Time Machine menu bar icon.
The following links were helpful in figuring this out:

AirPort not recognizing network

I have a wireless network set up in my house (A PC and Linksys router - WRT54GS. The PC is connected directly to the router using an Ethernet cable. I installed the Linksys router for my Mac) I purchased an Airport card for my G5 and AirPort is installed and recognized by my Mac. My network in the house is up and running. But when using my Network settings to try to connect, I'm unable to--it's simply not picking up the network. In the Internet Connect box I've chosen AirPort, and (because the network does not appear in the drop down menu), chosen "other," typed in the network name, security type, and password. I receive the following notice: "There was an error joing the Airport network." Any thoughts on what to do? (I'm new to wireless networks. Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious.)

Which G5 do you have? The early G5s shipped with an external AirPort antenna which is required.
See "PowerMac G5 wireless problem? Check this..."
The later G5s are not compatible with the AirPort Extreme card and require a special board. See KB 302721, Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) AirPort and Bluetooth options.

Airport Extreme, Cant connect to shared disk

Hello,
Hooked everything up and both my ibook and MBP can access the net wirelessly fine. Installed the airport utility on my ibook to setup the airport, not on my MBP. i just attached an external flash disk and my ibook see it just fine and can copy files to the flashdisk connected to the airport but went to turn on my mbp and cant see the drive. how do i get my mbp to access the shared drive? do i have to install the software on both computers?
also, my disk shows up as "no name". is there anyway to change the name other than no name?
thanks!

I have the iPhone 4, and yesterday I synced my photos onto iTunes, but now I have albums on my phone that cannot be deleted, and there is not an option to delete the items in the albums individually... How do I get rid of these unwanted albums? Windows 7

If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.

Rich text box used in Infopath Form not displaying option to get images from Computer

Hello,
We have used "Rich text box" in Infopath Form which is not displaying option to get images from Computer.
Options available are : From Address, From SharePoint
But if we Rich text box in list, then it works fine with "From Computer" option.
can you please help me out to get this option.
Thanks in advance.
REgards,
Jayashri

Hi,
From your description, there is no “From Computer” option to get images with rich text box in InfoPath form.
Per my knowledge, by design there are “From Address” and “From SharePoint” options without “From Computer” option in rich text box in InfoPath form. As a workaround, you can develop a custom InfoPath Rich Text box to do it.
About developing a custom InfoPath control, I suggest you create a new thread on the forum “Visual Studio Tools for Office”, more experts will assist you with InfoPath development.
