Does anyone know how to set up a macbook pro so that other computers can join me and use my internet connection?

Does anyone know how to set up a macbook pro so that other computers can join me and use my internet connection?

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.

    Hi - new to Vienna Ensemble Pro, so sorry for the ridiculous question
    I am trying to add some of my Logic instruments into an instance of VEP, but It is not avail to me. (http://bit.ly/sdAwNl)
    I see them in my channel strip settings when I bring up Logic, (http://bit.ly/ukLlPj) but I can't seem to access them via VEP. 
    Does anyone know why, and how to fix?
    I'm running Logic 9 on a Mac OSX 10.6.8

    Built-in Logic instrument plugins are NOT available outside Logic. VEP can only use 3rd party Audio Unit (& VST?) instrument plugins.

  • Does anyone know how to get bootcamp for macbook pro?

    I have a macbook pro 13", I believe its the early 2011 model. I want to know where i can get the bootcamp software or how to download it along with the windows OS. Thanks.

    Boot Camp Assistant is part of OS X.
    You will have to talk to Microsoft about where to get a copy of Windows at.

  • I had to manually download the new version of itunes.. via tools, it gave me 4 items to download and i did not download all 4 compenants.  Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that contains tools so i can redownlaod all of them.

    I lost my old iphone and have a new 5s.. i need to sync to itunes.  i had to donwload manually via tools but i didnt download all four files.  now when i plug my phone into itunes it says there is an error bc i didnt download all the files.  so when i go into itunes now and check for updates it says its up to date.  the problem is with the phone support file i didnt download. 
    Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that has the music player update and itunes update bc this is the only place i have seen "tools" to be able to manually update all four files....
    ***IF i completely uninstall itunes and reinstall will it still have all my songs, photos, apps etc... bc i need to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back

    this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
    i have done this twice in two other posts..
    here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
    the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
    so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
    so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
    so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...

  • 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)

  • I have suddenly been getting a lot of fraud emails.  Does anyone know how to set up blocks?

    Hello,
    I have been suddenly getting tons of fraud emails.  This has never been a problem in my mack mail in the past. Does anyone know how to set up blocks?  I have searched through preferences but have not been able to find any way to do it.  Bounce is of no use as these emails are not "respondable".
