Anyone know how to set up mac as a wireless access point?

thats pretty much my question, i wanna access the internet on my nintendo DS and Wii

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
Although I'm not familiar with the Nintendo DS you can use the iMac as a Wireless Access Point by going Apple Menu > System Preferences > Sharing > and selecting Share Connection from: popup menu: however you connect and the choose Airport to share to.
This article refers.

    Hi Guys 'n' Gals!
    I have a problem with my computer not going into 'Display Sleep' mode but actually goes into full Computer Sleep mode. Anyone know how to keep my Mac running software and not go into full sleep after I have set it to 'Never' go into 'Computer Sleep' within the 'energy saving' section!
    Any ideas guys?

  • Does anyone know how to set up the cname in PLESK correctly?

    Hi, does anyone know how to set up the cname correctly in a PLESK control panel?
    I am trying to point my domain name to my .mac webspace using the new feature available for iWeb 08.
    I can see the cname category in the DNS setup on the control panel and have changed the cname www to web.mac.com as described and have waited over 48 hours and still no change. I just want to rule all avenues out before approaching my hosting company.
    Thanks in advance to anyone that has the jnowledge to help.

    Well, no one bothered to answer, that's a first. Managed to sort it out on my own though.

    Have you set up any security on the Mac Connection Sharing?
    Sorry but I don't use that so I'm not familiar with the settings.
    But if you haven't setup and security the iPhone might not mind but I know most Windows computers do not like to connect to Open WiFi. and make sure it is WPA or WPA2.
    Then again it may be a setting in the connection sharing like some type of MAC filtering or it may simply be that Mac OS X connection sharing only allows one connection at a time. Try disconnecting your phone and then connect the PC.
    As to Linc's response about Windows.
    Windows basically does care about connecting to open, unsecured, WiFi. But it will normally pop up a windows asking "Are myou sure you want to connect to this open network". And a simple click on yes will get you connected and an IP address.
    So this is clearly a Mac OS X problem.

  • I want to be able to monitor my teen daughter's computer from home using screen sharing.  Anyone know how to set up screen sharing when my daughter's school has her computer set up for Apple Remote Desktop?

    ARD won't be as smooth as you think  over the Internet and be a security risk for your daughter.
    Your best bet would be to install nannyware, then when she's asleep you can review the logs.
    This is the best and Mac friendly

  • I have airport extreme and just purchased a D-Link DCS-932L home network camera.  D-Link says I need UpNp but the extreme doesn't support this.  Can I use port mapping?  if so anyone know how to set that up?  thanks

    I have airport extreme and just purchased a D-Link DCS-932L home network camera.  D-Link says I need UpNp but the extreme doesn't support this.  Can I use port mapping?  if so anyone know how to set that up?  thanks

    Since the D-Link DCS-932L is accessible on the local network via a web browser, you should be able to access this camera from the Internet if your router has a publically accessible Public IP address. If your ISP provides you with a dynamic Public IP address, you may want to use a DDNS service to make it easier for you to locate your camera whenever your ISP changes your IP address.
    Start the AirPort Utility > Select the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn).
    Select Manual Setup.
    Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
    Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
    Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
    For Service, leave the default; this will change to "Custom" once you start entering port values.
    In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your camera. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, enter the appropriate port values that should have been provided to you by the camera manufacturer. Click Continue.
    In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "Internet Camera Access," and then, click Done.
    Click on Update.
    To connect to the shared Camera from a remote location using a Mac or PC:
    Start your favorite web browser.
    Enter either your Public IP address or DDNS-provided Domain Name, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 7 of the previous procedure. For example: http://123.123.123.123:8888 or http://www.mydtdnsdomainname.com:8888

  • TS3899 I can't SEND email from Telus account in Alberta, Canada? Does anyone know how to set up the Outgoing server? Help! And thanks!

    Can't SEND email from Telus account in Alberta, Canada, unless I go to web mail. Does anyone know how to set up the Outgoing server? Incoming is fine. Outgoing used to work. We changed it when we went to another location, and can't get it back. Telus support can't fix it. Neither smtp.telus.net NOR mail.telus.net works for Outgoing server to send mail. Please help! Thanks.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Does anyone know how to set up 2 iphones on iCloud?

    Does anyone know how to set up 2 iphones on iCloud using just one macbook pro whilst keeping contacts, iTunes etc separate? My wife and I both have a new iPhone 4s but want to keep everything seperate.
    Many Thanks

    Then you need separate Apple ID's & iCloud accounts. This is required if you want to use things like iMessage, FaceTime & iCloud and not have a mess on your hands.

  • Does anyone know how to set alerts in the iCloud calendar of Outlook 2010 for PC?

    Does anyone know how to set alerts in the iCloud calendar on Microsoft Outlook 2010 for a PC?  Outlook gives me a warning message and does not allow me to save alerts for calendar events created in iCloud calendar.  It will allow me to save events in the non-iCloud calendars.

    Ignore what office says, when the warning comes up saying that the reminder will not work click on yes,
    I just tested it and i had the reminder on my ihpone in outlook and also as i had the calendar open in safari it popped up on there too ( I wasn't aware it did that)
