How to sync iPhone 4 contacts to Mac address book

Hello!
I can sync all my contacts from the Mac address book on my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4. However, why does it not sync the iPhone contacts to the Mac address book? Should it not be like a two way sync? I was looking at the syncing options but it does give that option. I just want to make sure that I have the same contacts on my iPhone and Mac. I do understand that MobileMe does that. But till I can afford to have MobileMe, maybe there is another solution?
Anybody... help!

I had a major drama doing this last night, have managed to restore my Address Book file with a backup after I mistakenly wiped all the contacts I had created on my iPhone. Yikes! I suggest when you sync your iPhone leave it plugged in after the sync until you check that the contacts are all where they should be. That way, the most recent backup that is done automatically when you plug in the iPhone will still have all your iPhone contacts should something go amiss and they can be restored. Also export your computer's Address Book (File>Export in Address Book) which should land in your Documents folder.
To get all my iPhone's contacts back into my Mac's Address Book, I created a group in my Mac Address Book called 'iPhones contacts'. When I synced the iPhone with my Mac, (Info tab>Sync Address Book Contacts in iTunes), I checked the box that says 'Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPhone to...' and checked the new 'iPhone contacts' group and when I synced, all the new contacts on the iPhone landed in my Mac's Address Book. Phew. Heartstopper!

Is it easy to block a mac address on airport extreme?

I have plans of changing my router to an apple airport extreme. Is it easy to block a mac address on apple's airport extreme?

So you can just control the time that they're connected.
You can set up daily time limits to allow a specific device to connect at the times that you specify. It is possible to set up different "rules" for each individual device......so your Mac could connect anytime, but other devices connect only at the times that you specify.
It is also possible to set up a rule to not allow a device to connect at all at any time. That would be called the "No Access" rule.
In order for the PS4 to connect automatically, a router needs to have UPnP service. The AirPorts do not have this. If you want to connect the PS4 to the AirPort, you will need to plan to set up the port mapping manually.

Blocking all MAC addresses except for the ones you allow

I have a Cisco Aironet 1200 Access Point. I want to block all MAC addresses from accessing the access point, except for the ones I've allowed. First I went to the Address Filters page and clicked on Allowed, then listed all the MAC address I want to be able to access the access point. Then I went to the Ethernet Advanced page, and set the Default Multicast Address Filter to Disallowed, and the Default Unicast Address Filter to Disallowed. Then I went to the AP Radio: Internal Advanced page, clicked on the Advanced Primary SSID Setup link, and set the Default Unicast Address Filter to Disallowed. Accept Authentication Type is set to Open with Shared and Network-EAP cleared, and the Require EAP check boxes are all cleared.
When using a computer whose MAC address is not listed on the Address Filters page, I am still able to connect to the network through the access point. I am also able to connect to the access point from any pc on my network by entering its IP address in Internet Explorer.
What do I need to do to block any pc without a listed MAC address from connecting to the access point?
Thanks, Jeff

Here's the instructions and URL on how to create an MAC based filter:
Follow these steps to create a MAC address filter:
Step 1 Follow the link path to the Address Filters page.
Step 2 Type a destination MAC address in the New MAC Address Filter: Dest
MAC Address field. You can type the address with colons separating the character pairs
(00:40:96:12:34:56, for example) or without any intervening characters (004096123456, for example).
Note If you plan to disallow traffic to all MAC addresses except
those you specify as allowed, put your own MAC address in the list of allowed MAC
addresses. If you plan to disallow multicast traffic, add the broadcast MAC address
(ffffffffffff) to the list of allowed addresses.
Step 3 Click Allowed to pass traffic to the MAC address or click Disallowed
to discard traffic to the MAC address.
Step 4 Click Add. The MAC address appears in the Existing MAC Address
Filters list. To remove the MAC address from the list, select it and click Remove.
Step 5 Click OK. You return automatically to the Setup page.
Step 6 Click Advanced in the AP Radio row of the Network Ports section at
the bottom of the Setup page for the radio you want to configure. The AP Radio Advanced page appears.

Unknown MAC address connecting

I've got a WRT54G v6 that is password protected via WPA2 Personal TKIP+AES, and SSID broadcast enabled. In the Status menu > Local Netork > DHCP Clients Table there is a MAC Address listed that none of my devices have. Is there anyway I can find out what or where it is connecting from? Is there a way that I can keep it from connecting to my network? Thanks.

All our devices, 2 Macs, 2 iPods and an iPhone all have different MAC addresses than the one odd MAC address that is showing up in my routers list. Our xbox is not configured to connect to the router although it does "see" the router. My sons girlfriend that ocassionally comes in has a smart phone but, shouldn't it disconnect when she goes out? The MAC address is still showing up on the list. Is there a way to keep smart phones or other devices from connecting to our router?
A certain device should disappear on the Clients Table List once it is not anymore connected to the router.
Try to ping the IP address of that device so we will know if it is still active or not.

Block Wired MAC addresses?

WRT54g Version 5.0
Firmware 1.02.8
I have been able to figure out how to block Wireless MAC addresses, and that has been VERY helpful.
( Wireless Tab -> Wireless MAC filter -> Permit Only -> and so on.... )
But I am cannot find out how to block certain wired based MAC addresses. Is this possible?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes. With access restrictions.
Of course, as MAC addresses are easily changed, cloned and detected on wireless connections (as MAC addresses are always transferred unencrypted) the wireless mac filter is useless for wireless security. On the wireless, use WPA2 Personal with AES and a strong passphrase. The wireless MAC filter won't make a difference in regard to your WPA2 protected wireless network.
Same applies to wired devices and access restrictions. Of course, the difference with wired connections is that you have better control over you can plug into your router and who not...

Block curtain MAC-addresses on my WRT54GL

Hello
I use a Linksys WRT54GL for my wireless setup in my apartment. I have noticed that there sometimes are unknown MAC-addresses in "DHCP Clients Table". I guess it is my neighbours or someone on the street.
Am I able to block a curtain MAC-address, so I precent them to connect to my network. And how?
Best regards,
MAthias

Under the Wireless tab,click on the Wireless Mac Filter>>>>choose the option enable and click on the option "document.write("Prevent PCs listed below from accessing the wireless network.") Prevent PCs listed below from accessing the wireless network" and then,click on Edit Mac Filter List to enter the Mac Address which you want to prevent.

Blocking a MAC address with WCS

I recently deployed a 4404 with WCS and want to block a MAC address from connecting to our wireless because of Deauth floods. We have around 40 APs. I am thinking it should be done through a template, but not sure. Can anyone lead me to right document that explains the process of blocking specific MAC addresses?
thanks,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
Have you see this doc;

Blocking Client MAC Addresses at Sup720/WLSM?

I want to block client MAC addresses at the central 6500, where the WLSM is located. Is there any solution like "dot11 association mac-list" at the accesspoints? I tried an "access-expression" on the tunnelinterface, but it did not work. Any suggestions?

Here is an example of config
switch(config)# mac access-list extended ARP_Packet
Switch(config-ext-nacl)# permit host 0000.861f.3745 host 0006.5bd8.8c2f 0x806 0x0
Switch(config-ext-nacl)# end
Issue the vlan access-map map_ name command and the action drop command, which is the action to perform.
The vlan access-map map_ name command uses the MAC access list that you created to block ARP traffic from the hosts.
Switch(config)# vlan access-map block_arp 10
Switch (config-access-map)# action drop
Switch (config-access-map)# match mac address ARP-Packet
Add an additional line to the same VLAN access map to forward the rest of the traffic.
Switch(config)# vlan access-map block_arp 20
Switch (config-access-map)# action forward
Choose a VLAN access map and apply it to a VLAN interface.
Issue the VLAN filter vlan_access_map_name vlan-list vlan_number command.
Switch(config)# vlan filter block_arp vlan-list 2

Can 2 iPhones show as same MAC address if using same wifi?

If 2 iPhones are accessing a site through the same wifi, to another user could it look like they have the same MAC address? Ie look like the same person with multiple accounts?

Hey John,
Yes, you can have multiple iPhones remote controlling iTunes.

Block cloned MAC address in WCS

Hi I would like to ask if I can block a user who connects to our network and generates high usage of internet.
The problem is every time he clones his MAC address.
PS ...( WITH OUT SETTING A PASSWORD ON THE APs AND WITH OUT SWITCHING THEM OFF)
THX

Chris
Only way to prevent it is to do exactly what you mentioned you don't want to do and that's set a password or eap security. Layer 2 hacks have been around for ages. Very hard to defend unless you lift security requirements.

Blocking a MAC address from Authentication to AIR-AP1230 12.3(8) JA

Anyone know the CLI commands for blocking a single MAC address from Associating to an AIR-AP1230 running 12.3(8)?

This link may help as well:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a0080184aa0.html#91655
Change the Action to Block, make the Default Action Forward All, and make the mask 0.0.0.0. Apply this to the dotllradio interface (or sub-interface), filtering inbound packets. This should block the specified MAC address only.

Unknown MAC address

We have installed a 526 Wireless controller and 520 express switch. As far as we can tell all is configured ok. We use wpa/enterprise with Radius server an clients authenticate OK and get an IP lease from our windows (SBS) dhcp server. Unfortunately we cannot ping this server, but we can ping all other computers on the network. The reason seems to be that we get a rogue mac address for the server's IP. If we wireshark it we see the server initially replying to the ARP WHO HAS correctly followed by another from a ASKYCOM device. This MAC then appears in the 520 gigabit uplink's mac table.
If we look on the network to which the 520 is connected this MAC address does not appear, so it seems as if it is being generated within the wireless system!
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi thanks your response. We have tracked the issue down (we think/hope!) to a rogue (with duplicate IP) on the wired network.
If we cleared the arp cache and pinged the server IP address (192.168.0.1) we get a good reponse to the ARP "whohas" followed by another from the rogue. However when on the wired side this seemed to have no effect and indeed the switches did not contain the rogue MAC address in their MAC address table, when on the wireless side it did cause a problem! We think it might be down to a user installed low cost switch using the common address we unfortunately selected for our server.

Router receives a frame/packet with unknown MAC address

Hi Everyone,
Lets assume that a router received a frame/packet on an interface due to switch did not have the destination mac address listed on its mac address table and therefore broadcatsed this packet out of all ports, and router receives that packet that was not even intended to reach it. Would the router route that packet or drop? Just wondering if my assumption is true and router would drop a frame/packet that it receives on an interface if the destination MAC address of this frame/packet is not a MAC address of the routers's interface that it was received on.
Thanks!

Hey but I don't think router ever does a destination mac check! (that's surprising indeed), looks like router does not check the destination information, until it strips off ip packet from the frame! have a look at what a router does when it receives a frame (with any destination mac addr) here:-
