Create a Wi-Fi ac Network

Hello,
I would like to create a Wi-Fi network between MacBook Air (Mid 2013) and a Macbook Pro (Late 2013).
Both have Wi-Fi ac, but when you create the network it is set up as a Wi-Fi n.
- Is there a way to use the ac protocool between them?
- Will it be enabled in a future?
Regards

Are you trying to create a computer-to-computer ("ad hoc") network? They have always been more limited than those created by a router. (For example, they cannot use WPA or WPA2 network protection and are limited to the easily-broken WEP, even on Mavericks.) It wouldn't surprise me to find out they cannot use 802.11AC, but I don't have the hardware to try it.

How can I use Airport Express to create a standalone Wi-Fi network without Internet Access so I can browse web pages on the local network? I will be using MAMP as my server (Apache)

I would like to create my own Wi-Fi standalone network at an upcoming tradeshow where there will be NO internet access.
Currently, I run and develop sites on my iMac use MAMP to manage my sites locally. Using MAMP, I run my sites as though they are on the internet although everything is local.
I purchased an Airport Express hoping I could create a standalone network so that the iMac would broadcast its website to whatever device connects to it such as my iPhone, iPad and MacBookPro.
However, after setting up the network successfully (I have a green light on the Airport Express, and there is NO internet going through it), I am not able to go any further by logging into the iMac's websites from the other machines. Form my MacBookPro Finder, I can look at files and folders using afp://10.0.1.2, from the Find/Go/Connect to Server utility, but I can't browse the website that is running on the iMac via the Safari browser.
Can anyone help me configure my MacBookPro (or iPad, or iPhone) to run the website on the iMac when they are all on the same network?
Thanks so much!!

1) connecting the TC using a ethernet cable from one of the two modem's LAN ports to the TC's WAN port
2) create a new Wi-Fi network using the TC ?
Does someone already create a new Wi-Fi network using its TC connected by Ethernet on a modem/router device ? How do you set up the DHCP (and NAT) ? Which range did you use ?
This is easy enough to do..
Plug the TC directly into a computer.. without other connections to do the setup.
Using the newly installed 5.6 utility.
Bridge the TC.
Create a wireless network.
This is an older screen shot and I would set security to WPA2 Personal only not WPA/WPA2 Personal as shown above.
I do recommend you use wireless names that are short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
Update the TC..
Now plug it into the modem router.. it will be a part of the network without doing NAT and DHCP itself.. which you do not want.. that leads to double NAT issues.. but it is a WAP that provides access to devices on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands directly to the main router.

Using modem Sagem f@st 3464 (Scarlet One : vdsl tv VoIP wi-fi) : impossible to create a new Wi-Fi network (2.4 or 5 GHz) ? Conflict with DHCP / NAT and so on. No answer from the Apple help desk, Air Port Utility 6.1 unusable (configuration = Win 7)

Good afternoon,
My internet connection is delivered by a modem Sagem f@st 3464 (Scarlet One : vdsl tv VoIP wi-fi), it's almost the same than a BBox-2 from Belgacom (software and configuration).
This modem has 4 ethernet port, 2 for TV, 2 for LAN, the WAN port is RJ-11 and the connection is a PPPoE (in fact, it's the Belgacom network). I also got a Wi-Fi 802.11g on it.
The main raison why I bought a TC is the dual Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (for 802.11n), especially for my MacBook Pro and my iPad 3.
First of all, can I do the following with my TC :
1) connecting the TC using a ethernet cable from one of the two modem's LAN ports to the TC's WAN port
2) create a new Wi-Fi network using the TC ?
Up to now, after 2 man days of configuration, my TC is connected to my existing LAN network, as a bridge, but there is no new Wi-Fi network.
The Airport Utility 6.1 "Wizard" is just un-usable and I need to use a Win 7 laptop in order to get access to all the configuration !
The standard manual is very poor.
Does someone already create a new Wi-Fi network using its TC connected by Ethernet on a modem/router device ? How do you set up the DHCP (and NAT) ? Which range did you use ?
Sincerely yours,
AVDB

Why can't Lightroom open or create a catalog on a network drive?

I just filled up my external drive and spent over $1300 on a Drobo NAS to find out Lightroom can't open or create a catalog on a network drive? EPIC FAIL!!!!
How do I store over 8 TB of catalogs on my NAS and still be able to access them? Do I need to copy the catalogs and pictures from a local drive to a NAS, then copy them back to my local drive if I ever want to use them?
I can't believe this is the case. There really is no reason you shouldn't be able to store a catalog on a network drive. How do I fix or get around this?

Yes, I really have 8 TB of photography. Its from the past 10 years of dozens of worldwide photography jobs. Granted, not all of it is in Lightroom yet, but much of it is. I used Aperture until Apple abandoned all of its professional software development and have been moving to Lightroom for a while now. Aperture is able to use the NAS as a storage drive, no problem and it uses a database as well, so I really don't see why Lightroom can't do it.
I have an 8 TB Drobo connected by Firewire to my iMac and storing photos on it for Lightroom (and Aperture prior to that) and it works fine. But it's filling up and I wanted some archive storage so I didn't have to have Lightroom catalogs and Aperture libraries on it I really don't use on a regular basis. So I got the Drobo FS800 loaded up with 12 TB of space as a network storage server to make sure everything is safely backed up. I am slowly converting my old Aperture libraries to Lightroom, one at a time as well as using Lightroom for everything I have done for about the last two years.
But it is completely impractical to have to store the pictures and catalog on the NAS Drobo, then have to copy it all over to a local drive if I ever want to find a photograph in on a Lightroom catalog. It will takes hours if not a day to do that, just so I can open it. So I may see if I can store the pictures on the NAS Drobo but keep the catalog on the local Drobo. But I hate the idea of not keeping everything together. It something happens and the shots getting separated from the catalog, I have no idea what will happen or if it will be easy to re-connect the media. I also want to keep a backup of the catalog, but I think the built-in catalog vaults will do that.
But again, Apple's Aperture could keep everything together and has not problem pulling it off a NAS, local drive or anywhere. Really hard to imagine why Adobe can't do the same thing, especially since Aperture is overall so obsolete in every other way to Lightroom by now. Guess I need to try a few things and see if I can make this work. But really not comfortable splitting catalogs up on different drives than the picture files are located.

Creating folder with permission in network

help me!!
I have problem..
how can I create a folder in the network with permission that only the
admin and the users can only view?

the main suggestion is this: don't use dots in folder names. there are plenty of other characters to use. this just confuses the system into thinking its a file extension. in the short term reset your launch services database. delete the file home directory/library/preferences/com.apple.launchservices.plist and run the following terminal command
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
see if that helps.

Bypass(IPS or TAP) network cross-connect the two RJ45 connectors electrically thus creating an extended Layer 1 network

Thanks for your time and knowledge. I am trying to understand how bypass mode works in terms of cross connection.
Bypass mode: network relays cross-connect the two RJ45 connectors electrically thus creating an extended Layer 1 network
Let us focus on one connection COM1 --- 3560 --- ELFIQ (Link Balancer) ---- ASA.
Basically ELFIQ will be a bypass mode when power is gone.
The engineer told me that I have to put cross cable between ELFIQ and ASA5505 only which is "2" cable from below diagram.
So, it will be
COM1 ------(Straight)----- 3560 -----(straight)------ ELFIQ (Link Balancer) -----(cross)--- ASA.
And he told me also that if there is no switch (in future). I need to put both cables as cross cables.
COM1 ------------- (Cross) ------------------ ELFIQ-------------- (Cross) ------------------ ASA5505
I couldn't see any consistency from this bypass works because case 1 (with switch) and case 2 (without switch)
Is my understanding right like below?
case 1: straight - straight - cross : cross
case 2: cross - cross: straight.

I can not create a computer-to-computer network

I am trying to create a computer-to-computer network to share files between my laptop and imac but everytime I start doing this the computer remains endless waiting in the creation process (both on the laptop and the imac) I switched the security in the meantime from WPA2 to WEP which should be ok as I understood.
So please help what should I do

Don't use WEP - it can be cracked in about ten minutes. Use WPA2, this isn't likely to be the problem.
The method of setting up File Sharing between computers (ethernet or wi-fi) is outlined here:

What have you done to try to create the network? Are you able to connect to the internet using Airport? For starters, maybe [this read|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8339.html] will help.

Problem creating a link to a network folder

I am working with a SharePoint 2010 site. Due to not being able to utilize SharePoint Designer, I am limited to editing the site by first navigating to the SharePoint site and then selecting edit page from the site options menu.
I have a table setup and there are two cells within the table that I want to have linked to different network folders. The first cell has 'operations brief' in it, and after researching how to establish a link to a network folder, I learned that I could
do it by inserting a link and pointing to file://servername. In this situation, I highlighted the text and then selected insert and link from address option. I typed in
file://Y:\Operations%20Brief\2013 into the URL field. After saving the site, I tested the link and it successfully opened the network folder.
I then followed the same procedure for another network folder named Quick Reference Card. The only difference between the operations brief folder and the quick reference card folder is that the quick reference card folder has parentheses and numbers - Y:\(8)Library\Quick
Reference Card (QRC). I am not understanding why when I view the site out of editing mode, I can click on the operations brief folder and have it open. When I click the Quick Reference Card link, nothing happens. The text appears as a hyperlink -- it's in
blue and is underlined.
I've removed the link and re-added it several times, only to get the same result. I can't figure out why one link works, and why another one doesn't even though I'm sure I created the second link the same way I created the first link.

Hi,
I have followed the same procedure what you followed, it is working as expected and both the links are working fine. The following is the HTML SOURCE from the content editor web part. Please verify your HTML source from the content editor part.

Welcome to Operations folder <a href="file:///Y:/Operations%20Brief/2013">Operations</a>

Should I create a new Wi Fi network or add Time Capsule to existing Wi FI network

I decided to buy a 3 TB Time Capsule rather than have a bunch of USB drives connected to my iMac (2010 3.2 GHz i3 running ML). I’ve noticed that when I have 3 USB drives connected, one always fails to mount.
I have a Netgear CG3100 Cable Modem on Telstra’s network.
The TC (located in a entertainment unit downstairs) connects to the Cable Modem via Ethernet (located upstairs).
Under ‘AirPort Utility’ Network menu, the Router Mode is: Off (Bridge Mode). This creates two Wi Fi networks (Netgear creates a Wireless-N network plus the TC network). I’m running AirPort Utility version 7.6.3.
Is this environment the ideal setup – Bridge Mode? Running ‘Speedtest.Net’ via my iPhone, both Wi Fi networks offered up to 30 Mbps. Although, I’ve noticed TM on some occasions to be significantly slower (maybe due Time Machine syncing via Ethernet???).
The following devices attach to the Network;
via Ethernet to Cable Modem, iMac, Ethernet Switch (for TV, Apple TV and Amp), TC (running off ports are TV, Apple TV and Amp) and,
via Wi Fi; iPads, iPhones, MacBook Pro and Windows laptop.
Network is used for all the usual stuff including Apple TV, Skype and VPN.
Ideally I don’t want to have to switch between the two Wi Fi networks. As the Cable Modem and TC are in different locations, one would expect the performance would vary depend on your proximity to each device. Ideally, you’d won’t to connect to the device with the best signal.
I’d appreciate any guidance on the best configuration for this environment.

I didn't roll back 5.6 but was able to get things working with Airport Utility7.6.3. I believe the problem may have been one of two things. The Wireless Settings for the Netgear CG310 had the following Security Option selected: WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES].
So I selected just WPA2-PSK [AES] which matched the AirPort Utility Wireless Security option.
That appeared to fix the iMac. The MacBook Pro (MBP) still didn’t play ball. From the Network Preferences menu, I selected ‘Assist me’…re configured the wireless on the MBP. Followed the ‘Diagnostics…’ option ‘Choose network port configuration’ selecting WiFi…and that solved whatever voodoo was preventing the MBP from connecting to the WiFi network.
The 5GHz achieved a download speed of +60Mbps (speedtest.net), so I’m pretty happy with that!
The following images are now my setup so that my DSL/Cable Modem and TC have the same:
SSID
Security WPA2-PSK[AES]
Password
The TC Network Mode is 'Create a wireless networl'
The DSL/Cable Model is set to channel 1 and the TC is set to 11 for 2.4GHz and 36 fro 5GHz.
The TC Router Mode: Off (Bridge Mode)
Thanks LaPastenague & edex67for taking the time to assist me. I hope my experince will help others when they want to add a TC to their existing home network.

Create user accounts on multiple networked computers

I have a computer lab of 21 identical systems: 20 student computers and 1 instructor computer. All are running Win 7 (32 bit). They are connected via a simple Windows network. I have 50 users, and I was wondering if I could simultaneously
create local standard user accounts for each of them on all of my computers. I know this is possible if I am running Windows Server, but I am not. Will I be able to accomplish this using Windows 7 (Ultimate)? Doing this one-by-one will be
quite tedious, and probably not feasible given the allocated resources). I am a novice, so perhaps I have omitted some key information.
Thanks in advance.

You can use VB script, and create multiple accounts on multiple computers.

Ovmapi_4004e server failed error while creating a PVM from FTP network pat

Hi,
I'm trying to create a PVM on OVM 3.0.3 using an ftp server to use an ISO for a Linux 5 installation.
In the create virtual machine wizard for the network path (in boot options) I am specifying:
ftp://oracle:[email protected]/home/oracle/iso/OEL56/
The above link opens up in a browser and I can see the mounted iso.
I mounted the iso as:
cd /home/oracle
mkdir /iso/OEL56/
mount -o ro,loop /ovm_iso/linux/Enterprise-R5-U6-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso /home/oracle/iso/OEL56/
But Starting the VM fails with "ovmapi_4004e server failed" and "Boot loader didn't return any data". I'm assuming it can't read from the iso during boot.
Is there anything wrong with the ftp path . Are non-anonymous ftp users (oracle in this case) allowed or do I need to use anonymous logon.
Regards,
Shahab.

Hi ,
I went a step further by using anyonymous ftp in the network path . (rather than user : password) and the VM started .
The VM boots OK from the staged iso (also tried full DVD contents) and brings up linux installation in text mode only , but for ftp installation mode after asking for the ftp server and directory (which it doesn't take on first attempt) it gives an error "Unable to read package metadata . This may be due to a missing repository directory. Please ensure your install tree has been correctly generated" . It seems its not finding the ftp directory path , although initially it was able to boot from the same ftp path specified in the Network path of the VM configuration wizard.
Regards,
Shahab.

Can't create a computer to computer network

Hi,
I have a 1.8Ghz iMac G5 and my partner recent bought a iBook 12". The iBook came with built in airport and so I puchased a airport extreme card for the iMac so we could wirelessly connect the two computers.
The iMac has 10.3.9 and the iBook has 10.4.3.
I've tried everything I can think of but I can't seem to get the computers to see each other. I've created a network on either machine but can't see it on the other.
My thoughts are that there must be a fault with one of the cards, any other ideas?
Thanks
Olivier

Rather than create a computer to computer wireless network it can be easier to use one of the Macs as software base station instead and allow the other Mac to connect to this Mac created wireless network.
On the iMac
System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Tab
Share internet from (anything) via Airport
Your iBook should be able to connect to this iMac created wireless network.

Help Required on Creating and Maintaining an Apple Network Without a Server

Hi,
I'm an external IT technician for a new educational block at a hospital who intend on using apple mac computers alongside windows computers running off of a windows server..
I usually deal with windows XP as an operating system so OSX is relatively new to me..
Basically what I have is a suite of 6 iMacs which are all sharing files from the windows server via a network share drive I set up. I've just got off the phone with the project manager and she wishes to have individual logons for each member of staff and student here, this adds up to around 25 people..
I have allready created a generic "teacher" and "student" logon which has all of the right things in the dock + settings etc that I need. Is there an easy way to duplicate those settings to create new profiles?
I'm just trying to look for ways of making this easier for myself and for the school in the future.. I have a feeling that the ideal solution would be to have an apple server installed and manage the users from there but I don't think that it was considered at the time of purchase..
So can anyone help me out? I'll be grateful for any tips or advice on creating and maintaining this system as I'm due to support this place for the next year.
Thanks alot,
Martin

Can I create a portable ad-hoc network between an iPad and other wireless devices?

I have a iPad that uses a third-part app to connect to and read data from a wireless hard drive. This works great in my house over my local network. What I want to do is create an ad-hoc network to use in my car or other remote site to basically just allow the wireless connection between the two devices, with no internet connection. I have used an ad-hoc network in the past to sync data between my iPad and my iMac, so theoretically it should be possible, but I can't seem to find out how to do it using the iPad to create the network. Is there a support article discussing this? Has anyone out there tried doing this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, but I must not have made myself clear. I'm not looking for internet or 3G service. All I want is a temporary network to share data over. I have lots of movies and videos stored on a wireless hard drive and I just want to be able to access them in the car while on trips or on vacation. It works in my house even when we lose our internet connection. The cable modem is off-line and the Airport Extreme light glows orange, but the wireless network still works. I guess that I could set up an iPhone as a hotspot and pay extra for a service I would only need sporadically, but I'm hoping that there is an alternative.
