Can't Use Safari with AirPort Internet Sharing Switched on

Happy New Year All (for tomorrow).
Just got an IPod Touch and a brand spanking new G5 iMac with AirPort built in (and what a beautiful machine it is...). I have switched on Internet Sharing i.e. "Internet Sharing: On (Sharing your Built-in Ethernet connection)". At the moment, I'm taking my ADSL into the iMac via a DSL Modem Router and then ethernet cable into the back of the iMac (until I get a wireless modem router). However, my iPod touch doesn't seem to be able to connect to share the internet connection over AirPort. A couple of nights ago, it connected and worked fine for about ten minutes then gave up. I haven't been able to get it to work since.
The Airport Symbol in the status bar (top right of screen) shows an arrow pointing upwards (I assume this means internet sharing is "On"). I'm running 10.5.1 And on another note, my wife's iPhone has the same problems.
If I get a wireless modem router, will this problem go away?

I've never messed with interne sharing. However, reading your post would seem to give a clue: Internet Sharing: On (Sharing your Built-in Ethernet connection). It sounds as if it's only sharing the ethernet (cabled)connection, not the Airport (WiFi) connection. I'm not at a Mac right now so I don't know if there's a way to change that setting. Also, if I recall correctly, people have reported problems sharing an Internet connection with a Mac. I don't remember the details as it wasn't an issue for me.
I have my DSL plugged into an Airport Extreme Base station. Service is distributed both by Ethernet cable and by wireless from there. The Touch connects beautifully.

Can't use aircard with airport on

I use an aircard (wireless modem) hooked to a Usb port to access the internet and I have an airport express hooked to my stereo and a printer to stream music or print from my laptop. They both work fine alone, but if I have my airport on to print or stream music, my aircard doesn't work. If I turn my airport off it works just fine. How can I use my aircard and still listen to music or print while I'm online? I'm new to Macs, so hopefully it will be something simple.

You probably have your networks set up in reverse order. Go to Sys Pref, select Network. You will want your aircard listed first and airport somewhere after that. If they are not, click on the little daisy wheel down at the bottom of the list of networks. A menu will pop open, select "Set Service Order". Drag your aircard to the top of the list. Safari will start at the top of the list when looking for an internet connection. right now it is trying to connect through the aircard since it sees it as an active network and never goes past it to the others.

Can I use an old Airport Extreme as an extender with a new Airport Express

Hi All, I have Verizon Fios and the data line runs into my bedroom. I purchased a new Airport Express today to replace the Airport Extreme (from 2006). Can I use the old Airport Extreme as an extender (I'd like to set it up in the basement as I get poor connectivity there). I tried using the Airport Utility - Other WiFi Devices to find the Airport Extreme, but it's not registering. Is what I'm attempting possible? If so, how do I set it up?

Can I use the old Airport Extreme as an extender
Is this the "round" or "dome" shaped AirPort Extreme?
If yes, then it is not possible to have the AirPort Extreme wirelessly "extend" the signal from the AirPort Express.
However, the older AirPort Extreme can probably be set up to provide more wireless signal coverage if it will connect back to the LAN <--> port on the AirPort Express using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
In this case, the setup of the older AirPort Extreme will require that you have an older version of AirPort Utility installed on your computer. If it is a Mac, then the Mac must be running Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with AirPort Utility could be used to set up and configure the older Extreme.
f you have the "square" or "flat" version of the AirPort Extreme, then everything becomes much easier. Post back if you do.

I use comcast for email and internet. Can I use Ipad with that?

it's for the 3g versions where one access the internet over the cellphone network
those versions are more expensive and support both wifi when aviable and 3g when it's not

IMac & Snow Leopard - Airport internet sharing: WEP only?

Hello guys, happy owner of a 24 inche iMac.
Found out I can turn my iMac into a wireless access point by enabling airport internet sharing (system preferences > Sharing > Internet). That's nice because in my setup that would be better than paying for a wireless router and having even more cables and ac adapters cluttering up the place.
But, the airport settings for internet sharing only allows for WEP. No WPA??? That's a bit surprising, and a bit disappointing. I'd rather leave this sharing enabled all the time and I'm not thrilled about using WEP (everybody says it's pretty unsafe)like that.
Is there a way around that?

I a in a similar situation. I am sharing my cable/ethernet connection with a powerbook & an iphone quite happily. But my niece's pc will not connect. It insists on WPA, stating that the WEP is not secure enough, yet it quite happily connects if I remove the pass key altogether.
Can anyone help?
The pc does suggest performing a manual connection but I cannot find the details (ip address etc) in my iMac

Does Airport Internet Sharing Support WIFI Mode G?

I am trying to connect a Nokia N810 Internet Tablet to the Internet via Internet Sharing. The N810 only supports B and G mode WIFI. I can't get a connection. Does Airport Internet Sharing Support WIFI Mode G? Do I have to configure for this?
Thanks

I am trying to connect a Nokia N810 Internet Tablet to the Internet via Internet Sharing. The N810 only supports B and G mode WIFI. I can't get a connection. Does Airport Internet Sharing Support WIFI Mode G?
Yes.
I've used my 802.11b/g/n capable MacBook to share an ethernet connection with my 802.11g ONLY iPod Touch.
Does the N810 see the network?
Does any other WiFi capable device in your home see the Internet Sharing SSID?
Did you give your Internet Sharing a password? Internet Sharing uses WEP for encryption, and the rules for creating the WEP Hex key from a text string password are different for Macs vs everyother WiFi device in the world. 1st try no password. If that works, then move on to using a simple 5 character password for 40/64 bit WEP, or a 13 simple password for 104/128 bit WEP.

Airport Internet Sharing Problem Mini - PC Laptop

Airport Internet Sharing Problem
My setup is:
Cable Modem -> Mac Mini --> PC Laptop
... with the connection between the mac mini and the PC laptop being the built-in mac mini airport using internet sharing.
Hi, I've been trying to set up Airport internet sharing with the mini, to no avail. It works off & on, but invariably the internet connections drop after about 10 minutes. The only way to get it started again, is to go into internet sharing, turn off internet sharing, then turn it on again. It will work for another 10 minutes or so (slow) after gong back to the PC laptop and reconnecting, then it chokes again.
I've tried the connection both with & without WEP, same behavior. I read somewhere that OS X only plays well with using Channel 1, so I tried that. No luck. Tried with and without Interference Robustness, no luck.
Tried with WEP on and using 40 bit hex keys using a "$" prepend in the mac as suggested on this web page:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030803030354585
Same behavior, works for 10 minutes, then it chokes again.
Tried with & without the firewall.
Yes, personal web sharing is on.
The PC laptop works fine with any number of other wireless routers out & about town, at my girlfriend's house, so forth.
Any chance I have a bum mac mini wireless card or antennae or something? The reception strength on the PC laptop is good.
Just don't know what to make of it. So stupid, it seems like something pretty basic that ought to work.
Yeah yeah tell me to get a wireless router, but I'm not going to do that, that's one major reason I bought the mini in the first place and it would be nice if it worked as advertised.
Any other suggestions?

Works better now...
this is me again. A week ago or so, I noticed there was an automatic update to the wireless on the mac mini.
Since then the performance is much improved. My PC laptop connection to the mac mini no longer drops spontaneously.
Much improved! Thank you very much!
Yes, on occasion, when I leave and then come back to use the wireless, the laptop will not reconnect after multiple attempts; I have to turn of internet sharing and flick it back on again, but then it works all evening fore hours and hours straight with no problems.
Thanks Apple! It's usable now!

Virus on my mac and can't use safari

Surfing the net I came got an alert saying I should call a certain number to get rid of a serious virus. So now I can't use safari. One solution here was to go to preferences and disable Java Script, but I can't use preferences. It is not highlighted.

Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, close Safari, and then launch it with the Shift key held down. If that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

Can I use a second Airport Express on the 1st floor to boost the signal from the 2nd floor Airport Express?

We have a wiFi network with on Airport Express on the upper floor. Watching NetFlix via AppleTV on the television downstairs is annoying since it stops to buffer the video every few minutes (NetFlix works smoothly upstairs, closer to the Airport Express). Can I use a 2nd Airport Express downstairs to boost the signal? If so, how do I configure it?

Yes, you can use a second 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) to extend the range of the first one.
Here are the basic steps to do so:
Dynamic WDS - Extending a Wireless Network Setup
If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
Open AirPort Utility, and then, select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then, click Wireless.
Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
Enter the base station network and base station password if necessary.
Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

Use safari with wifi

When I use safari with wifi, my ipad always reopen
I do not know what is the problem with ipad?
someone can help me to solve the promblem!!

Update: worked fine with free hilton wfi. Splash/redirect page loaded fine
Then failed to work again, this time with reagan airport wifi. After 30 mins on phone with apple support just mindlessly reading me through the generic support tips i already tried that didnt work, they gave up.
Now at marriott and redirect page worked and free wifi running with no problems.
How is it that i can be sitting next to someone at the airports that also has an ipad2 and they can connect fine and i cant??????? Are there really no solutions available?
And why is the final apple support suggestion from help desk to have the network router admin reset their router? 1) obviously not going to happen at public access points and 2) shouldnt apple design a product that can access these basic wifi interfaces that will commonly be encountered when using wifi without the need for network admin intervention????

On MacBook Pro unable to print webpage; I get a single blank page. But I can print using Safari. Started last week while using Firefox 3.6. I downloaded Firefox 5.0--same problem.

Unsolved Problem:I need to be able to broadcast from CamTwist as CamTwist is the only program that will allow me to do what I need to do. Justin.tv and Ustream.tv do not recognize CamTwist for reasons I can not explain.
