    Thank you but I tried that and it still shows up as a network. I live out in the country and shouldn't have any other networks close. I am afraid of a security breach.
    As far as networks showing up when you right click the WiFi icon in the Menu Bar, you will always see those that are close by. I know of no way to hide or remove those.
    What leroydouglas provided is correct to remove any WiFi networks you have previously connected to.

  • How do I create a wifi Network in a classroom without Internet.

    Hi all,
    I have an iPad, Iphone and a MacBook Air that I use in my PC-equipped classroom. I can get by without wifi, but several new apps have me wanting to use the iPad (or iPhone for that matter) as a mobile whiteboard. My problem is the adhoc network I can create with my MBA deactivates whenever I sleep the MBA. This happens severa times throughout the day as I'm not the only teacher using the room.
    What I would like to do is use a spare Airport Extreme base station I have to create an equivalent to the adhoc netwerk, but on a permanent basis.
    Is this possible, and if so how?
    Thanks!

    The AirPort Extreme....or any other AirPort does not need an Internet connection to create a local wireless network.
    Simply configure the Extreme using AirPort Utility to "Create a wireless network" and ignore the messages that you do not have an Ethernet connection and/or Internet connection.
    Once the Extreme is configured, you have the option to go back and click to "ignore" the "errors" and the indicator light will change from a blinking amber to green.
    We can't provide any more specific configuration instructions without knowing what the model number of the AirPort Extreme might be (it is on the bottom), and which operating system the MacBook Air might be using.

  • How can I create a guest network on an airport extreme that connects wirelessly with a Timecapsule

    I have a Timecapsule in one place of our house, that is connected to Internet.  I need to extend the range of my network:  1.  my private network needs to get to a remote location to make connection with speakers (Itunes).  for this I need to first extend the range of my private network, because the speakers are too far away from the TC.  2.  I need to set up a guest network, but at quite some distance from my TC, in an other part of the house, too far away from the TC (so a guest network on the TC won't do). 
    For this, upon advice from an apple store, I bought an airport extreme, which I have placed on a location where it can connect to the TC, to extend the private network.  On the location of the speakers, I have an aiport express (connecting to the extreme), to play music from Itunes.  The setup at this moment is:  TC makes connection to internet, and broadcasts a private network.  Extreme connects to this private network, and broadcasts it further to the Airport express, that captures it and plays the music.  I would now like to create a guest network on the Airport Extreme, while this Extreme keeps on connecting to the private network of the TC and keeps on broadcasting it to the Express.  Is this possible?  How can I do this?  Thanks for the help !

    I would now like to create a guest network on the Airport Extreme, while this Extreme keeps on connecting to the private network of the TC and keeps on broadcasting it to the Express.  Is this possible?
    Unfortunately, the "main" router...your TC in this case....is the only device that can create a Guest Network, assuming that the TC is connected to a simple modem.
    Unfortunately again, the Guest Network cannot be extended.  Your only real option here is to create a Guest Network on the TC and hope that it will have sufficient coverage for your needs.

  • How can I create a WiFi LAN with AirPort ?

    I saw somewhere a WiFi LAN (a PC with an external box) where I could put my own "Shared Folder" and see everyone's on the Lan shared data.
    As far as I saw, with my included AirPort, I can't do the same, but this allows me to make an html server (computer to computer server, not LAN).
    Am I wrong or must I buy an external box (please name it and explain why) ?
    TIA,
    Emile

    I think part of the struggle here is in terminology. Don't take this the wrong way... after all I'm the one who is having trouble understanding the issue. These are hugely general definitions, but here goes:
    WiFi just means wireless communication between '802.11' devices. Cell phone service, bluetooth, cordless phone sets, etc sometimes use the word WiFi, but that's just confusing... here we only mean wireless computer networking.
    A LAN is a Local Area Network. In other words, two or more devices that talk using ethernet (even wirelessly) while geographically located very near to each other.
    Airport is Apple's general brand name for all their 802.11 wireless networking devices. They did not invent the technology behind Airport, and thusly 'Airport' has all the same limits and power as it does for Windows and Linux. The term 'Airport' applies to wireless cards in Apple computers, Apple-brand Wireless Base Stations (other brands call theirs 'wireless access points' or 'wireless routers').
    A server is just a computer that offers the transfer of data (like saved files, web pages, or email) to other devices.
    Given all of that, I'm left wondering exactly what you meant in your post--what you are going for, specifically. You said you saw a WiFi LAN in the form of a PC with an external box. Did you perhaps see a Windows computer getting its network access from an external wireless device? If you were able to share files, that was all the doing of the Windows computer, with the WiFi device probably just transmitting the data between the computers. Later on you said that you are able to make an html server for computer to computer, but not LAN. I'm not sure what you mean.
    In any case, let me just give you a run down of what you can do:
    If you have a Mac with an Airport Card, you can join or create a wireless network:
    --If you have an Airport Base Station, Airport Express, or third party Wireless Router, start here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh636.html
    --Since you implied that you don't have any external networking devices though (a router, base station, access point, hub, or switch), you can still likely 'make due' as long as your Mac has an Airport Card. To get that internal card to allow direct wireless connections to your Mac from other computers, start here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=166640
    Once you have all the computers talking to each other, you can share files, share an internet connection, or even host a website for the other computers from your Mac.
    --If you want to read and write files stored on a Windows computer,
    ----turn on sharing in Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;304040
    ----then connect with the Mac: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106471
    --If you want share your Mac's files with Windows computers, start here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107083
    --If you want to share your files in other ways (as a website for their browsers, for example), start here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106660
    --If you want to connect your Mac to a phone/dsl/cable modem and share that internet connection with the other computer(s), start here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh336.html
    Finally, here's another page from Apple... kind of an overview of Windows/Mac network connections: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=19652
    In the end, no, you probably don't need an external networking box, but it would make everything easier, faster and (in my experience) much more robust. I personally suggest a Linksys WRT54G, but that's just me: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?childpagename=US%2FLayout&packedargs=c% 3DLProductC2%26cid%3D1127782957298&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper

  • How can I create a wireless network in my office for my itouch?

    I am in an office Windows environment with a G3 Mac that is connected to the internet via the Ethernet port. I can get to the internet with my Mac through a Proxy server. I have tried to setup up Airport to get through the firewall without any success. Is it possible to create a wireless network for my itouch if I install an Airport card in the Mac, start Internet Sharing and install Airport Express? I have no experience with the Internet Sharing options in OSX. I am assuming that my Mac with an Airport card would pass the internet connection to Airport Express. Airport Express would then create a wireless network for my itouch to connect to the internet. Any advice is appreciated as I would really like to get to the internet with my itouch.

    You don't need the AirPort Express to do this.
    You can set your Mac to share it's wired connection over the wireless port and the iTouch can connect directly to the Mac.
    You could also do it with the AirPort Express, but you don't need to - it's overkill for what you've described.

  • How can I create a VPN network between my offices?

    I want to create a conection between my two offices so that they can work better towether.
    I downloaded the OSX Server v2.2 but I haven't been able to create the connection. I have read the help information in the app, but I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
    here is what I did:
    I created a VPN Connection in Network preferences, then i oppened the server.app and activate the VPN service.
    I fill all the fields, then in the other office i created the VPN Connecion in network preferences and filled out with the information of the other network, but it wasnt able to canect. I might not have all that is needed, here is what I have:
    IMac mid 2010 with OS X server v2.2, this one will be the server host.
    mac mini new, this one will be the client.
    broadband Internet conection in both of my offices.
    I would really apreciate if someone could point me to the right direction.
    Is there a manual that explains how to do thisconnection?

    On the gateway to the remote network, for L2TP over IPSec you need to forward UDP ports 500, 1701, and 4500 to the endpoint.
    You also need either a static external IP address or a domain name for the gateway. Internally, the enpoint needs a static address.

  • How can I create my own network in my dorm? (Using Airport Extreme + ethernet cable) (To connect AppleTV and Sonos successfully with no restrictions)

    So I recently set up my Apple Airport Extreme Router in my dorm and have a BIG problem. It works and lets me do most things on my own network, but when I try doing things on my external devices connected to the network (Apple TV and Sonos Hi-Fi Sound system) the connection just doesn't go through. I'll give two examples.
    After setting up my Sonos system successfully, I was prompted to update the software so I can use options that need internet access such as pandora and soundcloud. It just didn't work at all. It gave me an error that had to do with internet connection. I tried numerous times.
    On Apple TV, I used AirPlay on my phone to mirror what I was seeing on my phone and then tried to play youtube, soundcloud, and other music apps and none of them worked.
    My guess is that it has something to do with my school's restrictions on streaming or downloading. But none of this stuff is actually restricted so I know it must be due to the transfer of information between my network (which is connected to the school's network I am assuming, since my ethernet port is in my dorm wall)  and my external devices.
    Honestly I'll probably get the "Your school has these restrictions answer", but I know there is a way to fix this and I really want the answer!!
    Thanks,
    Andres

  • How can i create wifi hotspot with WPA for windows laptops?

    I using Macbook with Mac OS X Mountain Lion. I can't create a wifi network with WPA Protected Access. I can create with 40bit protection access but i can't with windows..

    No, not unless Apple introduce it for the iPad 2 in a future iOS update - but until if/when that happens you won't be able to use it as a personal hotspot.

  • Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi ?

    Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi or simply solve this, I have tryied shotdown pressing keys like P and R, option, etc. Please help me .

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How can Mac Pro (late 2013) create a WiFi network for Mac Books to connect to internet?

    I am moving my Mac-Pro (late 2013) to a garden office.  I have an ethernet cable to connect it to the house network.  I also have a Mac Book Air which will only connect to a network by WiFi.  I can use this Mac-Pro to create a WiFi network and the MacBook can talk to the Mac Pro over this WiFi network.  But the Mac Book does not see the local network let alone the Internet, both of which are seen on the Mac Pro.
    Is there a way that I can connect the created WiFi network to one of the two Ethernet cards in the Mac Pro?
    Or what?
    Tim

    I have half cracked it.
    For some reason the first step it to turn internet sharing off.
    Then internet sharing can be configured and the wireless network set up and given a password.
    Then, and then only, turn internet sharing back on and turn WiFi ON.  All this is on the Mac-Pro (late 2013).
    Now the Mac Air sees the new network and can log on and connect to the WAN internet locations, at least via Safari.
    BUT if I use Finder on the Air, it will connect to the Mac Pro but it will not display what is on its disc. Though I can do screen sharing.  Odd.
    Also Air-Drop has stopped working, so there is no means of transferring files between the Pro and the Air.
    I am going away now for a few days and will revisit this on my return.
    Thanks for your help.

  • I have an Itel based iMac on which I created a Wifi network using Airport. My iPhone5 uses the Wifi on my iMac and still works.My problem is that I can't remember the Wifi password and it is not in my Keychain.

    I have an Itel based iMac on which I created a Wifi network using Airport. My iPhone5 uses the Wifi on my iMac and still works.My problem is that I can't remember the Wifi password and it is not in my Keychain. What can I do so that I can connect other devices to my Wifi?

    Read the router's user manual on how to change your password.
    If you are going to select another password, make sure it's one that you will NEVER forget AND no one else can figure it out.  Print it out & keep in a safe place.  A place that ONLY you know about AND never forget.

  • I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases'  - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:

    If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

    Each email address can only be on one iTunes account, and all purchases are tied to the account that buys them. If you want to have separate iTunes accounts on each then you will need separate email accounts for each iTunes account
