How can I make a local network without internet?

In Snow Leopard, I was able to make a local network in my home using internet sharing. The network was there even though my dialup modem was disconnected. Now when Lion, the network is only there if my internet is connected. How do I make a local network in my home without having to stay connected. I can click create network in the wi-fi menu, but that goes away every time I put the computer to sleep. Are there any third party apps to fix this?

If you are transfering files, you can use disk sharing instead.  All you need is to connect the two computers together with an ethernet cable.  For gaming, not sure.

    Where are you located?
    Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
    Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.

    Hello, aligt9p. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    To create an Apple ID without a credit card, there is a specific series of steps that have to be processed in order to allow the payment to be set as none on creation of the account.

    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366
    If the specific steps have not been processed, a credit or debit card will be required to complete the setup the account.
    However, it can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance.

  • Somehow I created a live copy of "Finder" on my desktop.  It is titled "iPhoto Library", and has live copies of all of my files/photos/music.  How can I make it go away without deleting all of my content?

    Somehow I created a live copy of "Finder" on my desktop.  It is titled "iPhoto Library", and has live copies of all of my files/photos/music.  How can I make it go away without deleting all of my content?

    Either you moved or copied your iPhoto library folder to the Desktop.
    Quit iPhoto. Rename the folder on your Desktop to something else, such as "foo." Launch iPhoto. If you still see all your photos, you can delete "foo."
    If you don't see your photos, quit iPhoto, rename "foo" to "iPhoto Library," and put it in your Pictures folder. Try iPhoto again.

  • How can i make my local disk mounted peramently

    i want to share my local disk to the network but i have a bad problem....
    the problem is when i reboot my local station i must to mount more time the disk manually,,, can anyone have an idea about how can i share my patition without
    mount it for each reboot, in another word how can i make my disk mounted automatically on reboot
    thanks

    Depending on how it is being shared and how you mount it, you may just need to edit your vfstab file to have the nfs mount made 'permanent'. That, of course, assumes this is being done via nfs!

    How can I create a iTunes account without a Credit card?

    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • HT2534 how can i make a apple id without a credit card

    How can i make a apple id with out a credit card?

    I followed the instructions 3 times
    - on my daughters iPod Touch (old iPhone 4).  My daughter purchased a book from i Books which I why I need to find a way to not associate a credit card with an Apple ID.
    - on my iPhone 5
    - on my Macbook Pro via iTunes running Mountain Lion
    In all three cases the behavior was very similar.  I was never presented with the "None" option.  Most of the time I was presented with only credit card options and the last time I was presented with an option for a credit card or paypal.

  • How can I make a drive bootable without losing data on it?

    Is there a way to make a second internal drive bootable without losing the data that is already on it?
    The second drive was created under Panther 10.3.9. My main internal drive has had a clean install of Tiger 10.4.3. The second drive used to appear in the start up disk list when I was running 10.3.9 on the main drive. That is, it used to be bootable under 10.3.9. No kidding. After the main drive was given a clean install of Tiger, the second drive disappeared from the start up disk list. Please note: the second drive remains completely accessible when I am running off the main drive in 10.4.3. I can even use the few applications I had placed on the drive. It appears as separate drive under disk utility.
    I assume the second drive was installed as slave. (Both it and the main drive were independently bootable under 10.3.9.) It is not locked. "Ignore ownership" is not checked. The system has read-write privileges. Admin has read-write all others are read only. I am the only person who has access to this machine. It is not networked.
    I tried to ask this question a few days ago, but I think the way I phrased it confused the issue. My real question is NOT how did this get like this? It is can I make a drive bootable when it already has data on it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    You replied:
    the drive that you cannot
    boot from is a separate physical hard drive from the
    internal drive with 10.4.3. Is that correct?
    Yes.
    Have you used System Preferences > Startup Disk and
    looked to see if the 10.3.9 system shows up there?
    Yes, I have looked and it's not there.
    I got the impression that you have backed up the 10.3.9
    disk and that you do not really need the data there.
    Yes, I backed up a drive that was bootable, but then it lost its "bootabilty" and what I got was two non-bootable drives--the original second internal drive that I'm asking about and the back-up of it. I want the data on the drive and I wan the drive to be bootable.
    One thing that you might try when you are booted off
    your 10.4.3 system is to use Disk Utility, select the
    other disk and do a Repair Disk.
    Done that and it says there is no problem. Nada. Zero. It just won't boot, no more, no how, no way. BUT it remains fully accessible--I can access all my info. It's just become a storage drive that cannot be booted. Go figure.
    reformatting means
    destroying the data on the disk.
    Yup, which is why I asked my original question. Does anyone know if there is any way to make a drive bootable without destroying the data on it?
    I suspect the answer is no (given these particulars), but I thought some wise super-techie out there might have a trick up their sleeve.

  • HT1766 How can I make a NEW backup WITHOUT getting prompted for a (forgotten) password?

    Hello! 1st post here,
    How can I backup iPhone A to iTunes and then restore into iPhone B without getting prompted for a backup password that I do no know or remember ever setting?
    To clarify, I am not trying to read an encrypted backup. I would like to make a NEW backup but I do not want it to be encrypted as I do not know nor remember how a password was set in the 1st place. If I unclick the encryption checkbox, I am prompted to enter the password. Defeats the purpose of clicking on the box, no?
    Thanks,
    Henry

    Have you tried deleting the encrypted back up?

  • How to set up a wireless network without Internet

    I don't have Internet at home but have a wireless router and an iPhone that wants to communicate with the MacBook pro so that they can exchange info (like my todo list and files and whatnot). Is there a way to set up the router or mbp so that the devices can communicate without the Internet?
    Probably a stupid question, but I have my hopes.

    You don't need the internet to have a network. Just setup the network like you normally would, as the local network will still be available even though there's no connection to the internet.
