Airport status in menubar - remove the time connected??

Hi there,
A small question, but the answer has been eluding me.
I have just gotten a new imac with Leopard, my first experience with it. I have the airport status showing in the menubar, and it also displays the time connected.
I don't want to see the time connected and want to turn this part of the display off. However i cannot find anywhere, where I can do this! On my old comp, running 10.4, I am able to turn it off. However I can't remember how to do it.
Anyone able to enlighten me?

I looked at the article you found and followed the instructions -- I guess I wasn't used to having a submenu there and didn't think to look. We just installed a Time Capsule as our main router and had to set up the options differently -- the TC runs NAT instead of the modem as it used to. Once we got the TC working correctly, that timer appeared -- I figured it had to do with the connection time, but I thought at one point, our modem disconnected but the timer kept increasing. So, I wasn't even sure what it was for.
To clarify, if you want to get rid of the timer, click on the airport icon on the menu bar and you'll find there is a submenu for your network. In that submenu, you'll find an option for showing the time connected & you'll be able to turn it off.

How do I connect to Time Capsule from a Windows 8.1 machine which is on a Windows domain. I have been able to connect from a Windows 7 machine on a Windows domain to a Time Capsule. Airport utility is not displaying the Time Capsule Win8.1 machine

How do I connect to Time Capsule from a Windows 8.1 machine which is on a Windows domain. I have been able to connect from a Windows 7 machine on a Windows domain to a Time Capsule. Airport utility is not displaying the Time Capsule Win8.1 machine.
I have checked that the firmware has been updated to 7.6.4 . Similalrly the Win8.1 machine has been loaded with the update specified in another discussion.

Firstly how are you connecting to the TC.. wireless or ethernet?
Please open a command window and ping it.. ping by name and by IP address.
If ping succeeds at least by IP it should work.
In windows explorer type
\\10.0.1.1 (or whatever the TC ip is.. that is the default).
Having the airport utility for windows loaded can help the process. As it loads bonjour for windows.
7.6.4 firmware on the TC is useless. It works better on 7.6.1
If the ping does not succeed by either name or IP address yet you have internet through the TC, then your network is setup wrongly. You are have firewalls blocking local IP. Take down all the firewalls.

What does it mean when the "time connected" disappears?

I am using a Time Capsule plus a couple of Airport Express devices to extend my wireless network. I have various MacBook models. On all my MacBooks, the "time connected" clock keeps on disappearing, sometimes 5 or 6 times a minute. The clock comes, then it goes, then it comes back... What does this mean? If it is bad, any suggestions how I fix it?

Something is wrong.
Open the airport utility and click on the yellow light in the summary page. it will take you to the errors.
Likely needs a firmware update.
Which maybe worth avoiding.

Remove the time stamp in a PDF document

So.... I'm hoping that there's a way to remove the time stamp from a PDF document I'm working on. I can't find it in preferences and a search has been less than fruitful. Any ideas?? Thanks!

If you use the redaction tool to redact white space and then apply the redaction, it will give you the option to remove all hidden information. That should do what you wish.

In the numbers app, using the "date and time" function, is it possible to remove the time? I need to put together a list of dates, but I don't need or want times.

When formatting your column to date/time, pick Date & time, and then pick the letter i in the circle to the right. Then scroll down and pick "No time"

I have a Time Capsule on which I back up 2 MacBooks and on my wife's machine she keeps having Airport Utility popping up all the time with a yellow button flashing on the left and a Red button on the right side with a "1" in the middle of it.

I have a Time Capsule on which I back up 2 MacBooks and on my wife's machine she keeps having Airport Utility popping up all the time with a yellow button flashing on the left and a Red button on the right side with a "1" in the middle of it. Can any one tell me what is wrong. I read where when the yellow light was flashing there was a problem, but I am a novice at this and have no idea where to turn. It seems to be backing up on a regular basis.

On the Mac......
Open up Macintosh HD > Applicatons > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the small window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Change the setting for Router Mode from the current DHCP and NAT to read Off (Bridge Mode), then click Update at the lower right of the window, and wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
Then.....very important
Power off the Time Capsule and your Arris modem/router for a few minutes
Start up the Arris first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
Start up the Time Capsule next the same way
Your network will now be correct, and your printing capabilities will improve.
If Time Machine backups do not occur now, post back and we will tackle that next.

How to remove the time slider from my project and keep only buttons

How to remove the time slider from my project and keep only buttons to interact with my project .

If I understand you correctly, go to the skin editor (Project, Skin Editor in Captivate 4), select the Playback Control tab, uncheck the Progressbar check box. Leave checked the buttons for play/pause, rewind, forward, back, etc.
I hope this helps.

Macbook pro connects to airport extreme only 50% of the time

Hi,
I have a mac book pro that i use with an airport extreme unit. When the laptop comes out of hibernation it does not connect to airport extreme. I have to put it back to sleep and start for the second time for it to connect. Any ideas on what the problem is?
thanks!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi Laurent,
although I was given the advice earlier that I should simply take the machine back to the shop, or call the help centre, I ended up just praying that it would be OK. A couple of days after I posted the message I think there was an update to download and install, just a regular one from Apple from the Software Update option for the operating system or it may have been one for Final Cut Pro X, and once it installed I never had the problem again, so my prayers were answered.
It was pretty scary at the time because I thought it must be some hardware malfunction, but because it was resolved through an update it suggested it was a software issue. Hopefully it is the same with you.
I'm now running 10.7.2 and have had no recurrence of the problem in many months, thankfully.
It might have nothing to do with it, but the only other two things that may have somehow caused errors in the system startup (and I doubt these will be "unrelated" to people who know how computers work better than I do, but I feel I should mention them just in case), but I also updated Final Cut Pro X from a glitchy version to version 10.0.2 around the same time, and I also had an application installed which didn't function correctly in OS10.7 called PowerController (a simple app that can start up the computer at a set time and play music from iTunes as an alarm clock) and it was in the group of apps that were set to start at the starting up of the computer.
Anyway, I hope your problem is resolved as easily. Pray about it too!

Airport Extreme(SW) keeps dropping the WAN connection under "heavy" load

Hey,
Have had this problem ever since I got the Airport Extreme when it first came out and I got it.
The problem is this : The connection will work just fine for ages, but if I end up downloading something using (primarily this is the problem) torrents and I end up getting a rather good speed on it the airport will all of the sudden stop getting data from the WAN(ADSL modem connected to it through the WAN connection) and the Airport will have to be restarted. Some days it will have to be restarted up towards 15 times a day.
The Airport remains accessible through the LAN connection, as well as through the WiFi when it has failed like this so I can go in through the Airport Admin Utility and restart the unit without any problems whatsoever. The modem does not need restart or reiniting either.
The problem occurs no matter of if I am on the hard wired (LAN) connection or the WiFi connection. If I download something using a torrent that is high speed, especially if its more then one torrent at the same time (say 4 torrents each running at 200-300kbps therefor peaking at the roof of what my DSL connection can handle) then it will absolutely lock up after a minute or so. If I only do surfing or 'ordinary' work then there is no problem.
The problem is easily repeated.
* If I connect my laptop by wire to the modem directly without the airport in between there will be no problem.
* I have software reseted the Airport many times to attempt to fix the problem when it has gotten on my nerves with no positive or changing result.
* I have the latest available from Apple firmware(5.6) installed on the Airport.
* I have no 'weird' or abnormal settings set on the Airport, and no neighbors playing tricks on me - This problem was with me when I used the airport fully locked down in a office environment and then went with it when I moved my airport unit out of my office in to my home.
* I have no other wifi units in the house that may cause problems, no bluetooth phones running amok.
Airport details:
Apple Airport Extreme Base Station
Firmware Version: 5.6
Wireless Security : Not currently enabled
Wireless Channel : 1 (automatic)
Built in modem : No
Prod # : M8930LL/A (A-1034)

Hi guys,
Recently I bought AirPort Extreme 802.11n Base Station (Gigabit, MB053LL/A), and
seems, I have very similar problem with yours. Internet connection from my ISP over WAN is dropped after few hours of being idle. The router successfully receives its IP settings from provider's DHCP, eveyithing is working fine at first and as long as I have some inet activity. Then I disconnect, or sleep my laptops, and when I'm back - WAN provides no Internet traffic at all It looks like WAN is not functioning or blocked in someway. AirPort Utility and logs show no problems, all statuses are good, correct WAN IP settings are shown in the utility.
Sometimes it helps to plug-out/in Ethernet cable to WAN port, but more often only full router restart helps (with around 10-20 secs of outage). BTW, WiFi connection between the router and laptops is pretty stable and causes absolutely no probs. HDD connected to the router works good also.
My firmware is 7.2.1 (gigabit), and reading above posts I tried to downgrade to 7.2. It didn't fix the problem So well there are no earlier firmware versions for this AEBS model to try.
Does anybody have ideas about it?
(I understand you guys mostly wrote about 100Mbit version of AEBS)
Thanks you,
Strim

Airport losing my Network all the time

Good morning,
I have set my network several months ago, it was working perfectly fine in the beginning. Now, this is what is happening all the time: after about half an hour being online, it seems like I am not hooked to the internet anymore. The Airport light is green, the signal level is at the highest, the status says "connected", but if I try to access a page, the bar is blank. No other networks show but if I manually type another network that I know of and that is not password protected, it connects to it, and then I can access my page with no problem.
This is not my network, I don't see why I should use a neighbor's network when mine is just set in the same room as my desktop, and above all why I can't catch it with the Airport that seems to say everything is there.
If I want to go back then to my own network, it has disappeared from the list, and then it says it can join back. It takes sometimes half hours before I can join back as if nothing had happened, and then some time later it does it again.
Any idea why it would do that? is my airport box defective?

Thank you for your help, Tesserax, I really appreciate it because I admit I am very annoyed (it is getting worse today, or I am less patient because of my own moods, but it seems to disrupt me from working so much).
I have many other networks, but mine is always with the strongest signal. Sometimes it drops to 50% (the highest is around 85%) and the noise increases (the highest has been 40%), and I see no of the described reasons why. All the other networks that appear are all around signal 44% and below
The only electric cable is the computer cable and the cable from the computer to the printer, could it be that making the interference? there is no way I can hook these somewhere else! The airport is hooked to the modem box and that's where the cable is hooked to my home, so I also do not see how I can avoid having those together. Maybe there is something I haven't understood there.
Also I have not understood how I can change anything in the airport. All those numbers seem to be automatically generated, and I don't see where you have a menu that gives you control to how it is set, if I have to reset something, whether it is in the System's preferences (network) or in the Internet Connect, I don't see any setting menu.

How do I remove the wireless connection from my Apple TV 2.

I have an Apple TV 2 and I want to sell it. Before selling it, I want to remove my wireless connection which has my home network password from the Apple TV. How do I do it ?
Thanks for helping me.

Put it in DFU and do an update. This will not only update it, but it will remove all settings. DFU = hold menu+play while plugging it in.

Maintaining the systems status as release at the time of upload

Dear all,
While uploading the master data for Business Entity and Buildings I want to make the system status as release. How do we achieve this?
Also at the time uploading the contracts I want to make the system status of the contract as active. How can we do this at the time of upload.
Expertu2019s pointers are highly appreciated.
Regards.
Vara Prasad

Hi Vara,
I guess you are using the API_RE_* function modules for uploading the data. You can use these
APIs also to set the system status. You have to set the parameter ID_TRANS and provide the activity that sets the status (example: for system status "released" the activity BFRE, for activation of contracts the activity is MCAK).
I hope this information is helpful for you.
Regards, Franz

Delete or removing the time/date

I'm sure someones asked this question but I can't find it through search or on google. Like a lot of other people I'd like to put up different wallpaper on my iPhone but the HUGE clock numbers & date underneath gets in the way of the photo itself.
Is there anyway to remove this or at least make it as small as possible? I mean there's a world clock within the phone itself.

In a word, no.
If I need to quickly check the time and/or the date, I can press the sleep/wake button or the Home button without having to select slide to unlock followed by entering my passcode to unlock my iPhone. I have passcode lock enabled, which is a good idea in case my iPhone is lost or stolen.
