Entered incorrect MAC Filtering ID! How can I unblock Airport access?

Trying to beef-up my home network security, I set-up MAC Filtering for my AirPort Extreme internet connection, but I entered an incorrect MAC address for my computer in Airport Setup Utility and now cannot log into my own Airport Extreme. I reset the Airport, which allowed me to access it with the Airport Setup Utility, but when I try to reprogram the security, it says I am not on the access control list and shuts off access to the Airport.
Is there a way to delete the MAC Filtering and start again?
Thanks

MAC Filtering should not be considered any real security. The MAC addresses of connected clients are easily discovered and cloned.
If you want security, enable WPA and use a non-dictionary password.

Use SeaBeast's suggestion or perform a hard reset. KB 107451, Resetting the AirPort Extreme Base Station

    How can I use Microsoft Access on my Mac Pro?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Microsoft Access isn't available for OS X, so you can't use it. If you need it, you have to install Windows on a virtual machine.
    On a virtual machine, you can install the Windows version you most like and the Access version you need, so you won't have any problem using it. You just need a full Windows version with its DVD or ISO image and product key, and an application like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox to create the virtual machine. If you want to save money, System Builder versions are cheaper and you can find them at Amazon or NewEgg.
    As you have a Mac Pro, I suppose you won't have any problem using a 64-bit version, but it's important you have enough memory. Open  > About this Mac, and check how much memory you have. I recommend 4 or 8 GB of memory at least.
    After installing Windows on the virtual machine, you will be able to install Access there.
    There are applications for OS X that allow you to run Windows applications without having to install Windows. Those apps often fail, so I don't recommend you to use them

  • In Lion, running on an i MAC (late 2006), how can I stop certain programs from automatically starting up when I start my MAC?

    In Lion, running on an I MAC, (late 2006), how can I stop certain programs (iTunes, Word) from automatically starting up when I start the computer?

    Any application that is open when you shut down will re-open when you restart unless you deselect this when shutting down/restarting:
    Also check System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login items tab and make sure there's nothing listed there that you don't want launched.

  • Installed yosemite. CS5 no longer workers. Error message about Java SE 6. But SE 6 doesn't seem to have a MAC version. How can I resolve?

    Installed Yosemite on my Mac. CS5 no longer workers. When I try to open Photoshop, I get an error message about needing a Java SE 6. This is different from the other Java update Yosemite required (I already installed that). I assumed the higher update would suffice for previous versions, but I guess it doesn't work that way. Went over to the Java site, but SE 6 doesn't seem to have a MAC version. How can I resolve this?

  • On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive, On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive

    On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7pm bootcamp without an optical drive.  I watch lots of football on sop cast and other such windows based programmes but can't work out how to do it.

    Actually Windows can be installed and booted from an external drive if the drive is connected eSATA (external SATA), since the drive is treated as if it's an internal HDD. I used the same method previously to dual-boot from 2 different HDD instead of partitioning.
    Most PC motherboards come with them as standard so it's pretty much plug and play but I don't recall seeing a recent Mac with eSATA connectivity though, so that might not be an option for you.

  • In MAC 10.5.8 I see that latest Java version is 1.5.0_30, can I install latest Java 1.6 version in MAC if yes, how can I install that?

    In MAC 10.5.8 I see that latest Java version is 1.5.0_30, can I install latest Java 1.6 version in MAC if yes, how can I install that?

    This is a User-to-User forum.  We do not have any knowledge into what Apple will or will not do.
    However, based on past history, it is unlikely Apple will invest anything except critical security updates into Mac OS X 10.5.  I could be wrong.
    If you really REALLY need Java 1.6 on your Mac, you should consider upgrading to a newer version of Mac OS X.

  • I have downloaded Topaz and Nik filters . How can attach them Photoshop cc 2014

    I have downloaded Topaz and Nik filters . How can attach them Photoshop cc 2014

    I'm having a similar problem, but only with jpg's. I have PS CS6, CC, and CC 2014. Other image file formats function normally with regard to the "open with" list. PS CC 2014 appears on the list. But with jpg's only PS CC appears on the "open with" list and 2014 can't be added by the browsing for it.
    The curious thing is that if I have any of the three versions of Photoshop open, click on Photoshop CC in the "open with" list, the image opens in whatever version is already open on my computer. This is true of all image formats. No matter which version I pick from the "open with" list it opens in the currently running program. I use only the latest version so keeping it open all the time is an easy work around. I won't uninstall any of the earlier versions lest more file association quirks result. it would be nice to have this matter fixed.
