This is not really possible, since there are any number of free utilities on the Internet that will reveal a "hidden" network in seconds. Anyone who wants to see your network will be able to do so very quickly and easily.
iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad often have difficulty connecting to a "hidden" network as well.
If you still want to do this......
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next page
Click the Wireless Options button near the bottom of the page
Enter a check mark in the box next to Create hidden network
Click Save
Click Update at the lower right of the window and allow a minute for the Time Capsule to restart

  • I've got a G5, OS 10.5, and an IBook OS 10.4.  Both can reach the internet wirelesly.  How can I make them aware of each other, so they can exchange files

    I've got a G5, OS 10.5, and an IBook OS 10.4.  Both can reach the internet wirelesly. 
    How can I make them aware of each other, so they can exchange files?  Both have network
    icons in the systems peferences, but I can't see how to hook them up.

    That got me closer, but I'm not quite there yet.  On each ofthe two computers I've allowed all users File Sharing and Remote Management.  Each computer has an address 192.168.1.2 (or 4).  When I enter those addresses into "connect to server" the reponse is either 'drop box' or 'public folder'.  So it seems that only very basic sharing is allowed. I have'nt  set up a public folder on either one.

  • How can I make IPhone 4 "invisible" when Bluetooth is switched on?

    How can I make my Iphone 4 invisible when Bluetooth is switched on???
    Peter

    If your phone is not jailbroken, they will not be able to connect to it. It will not be discoverable unless you go into the bluetooth settings page on the phone, which makes it discoverable. If people are attempting to connect to it, I'll lay odds that FAST&FURIOUS is correct in his guess that your phone is jailbroken. If that's the case, all bets are off. Jailbreaking compromises the security of your device as well as rendering the warranty void.

  • How can I make one cell search multiple other cells for a string of text and return whether or not the string appeared in the cells searched?

    https://www.icloud.com/iw/#numbers/BAI31boMQXsGKc8NH22BlqWRzbs8PdgWBs-F/2014-15_ Curriculum_Planning_w_CCSS_(Web_Shared)
    My document is above, if anyone wants to help this crazy teacher invent a better lesson planner.
    Here's my predicament.  The state in which I teach requires teachers to keep up with which of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) their instruction is addressing and when the standards were addressed.  I got the bright idea to do this through a spreadsheet in Numbers because our school is getting iPads this year, so it'd be pretty sweet to be able to assemble all of my lesson plans in one massive spreadsheet.  On the "AP Lesson Plans" sheet, I've got a few weeks worth of lesson plans entered in.  I'm planning on going in and using the drop-down menu next to each lesson plan to add all the CCSS on a per-day basis.  This is simple enough, but here's where I run into a problem.
    I want the "AP Standards" sheet to concatenate, in cells D3 through G76, the dates on which a standard was covered.  What I need is some way for, say, Cell D3 to look at the table on the "AP Lesson Plans" sheet and concatenate the dates of every lesson which has the standard in column A (In this instance, RL.11-12.1).  At the end of the day, the functionality I need is that I can enter my lessons and CCSS on the "AP Lesson Plans" sheet and go to the other sheet and see a summary of which standards have been addressed, when, and how often.
    If that's as clear as mud, well, I teach literature, not technical writing, so my apologies.  I'm more at home with Jonathan Swift than spreadsheets.  I'll gladly help you help me if you'd let me know what you need to know.  Oh, and to illustrate my knowledge level (just enough to be dangerous), I've left you the formula of my best stab at making cell D3 behave as desired.  It's the gray box on the "AP Standards" sheet.  Yikes.

    Hi Arrdenet,
    Congratulations on the nested IFs. I haven't tested that formula, but it is impressive. It will be very difficult to debug if it doesn't work, and I think it would make Numbers very slow.
    Here is a different approach. After you enter all the CCSS, add another column with HLOOKUP.
    Edit:
    B2 (and Fill Down)
    A2 (and Fill Down)
    =IFERROR(HLOOKUP(A$1,C2:E2,1,0),"")
    HLOOKUP looks for the value in A1 in all the CCSS columns.
    IFERROR is to stop the error triangles appearing and returns "" (NULL) instead.
    Then sort by column A.
    Not a complete answer, but it might get you started.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How can I make xterm show Unicode chars other than Latin and lines?

    I'm trying to get my terminal (xterm) to show more Unicode characters. The UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ for Unix/Linux suggests that xterm can display quite a wide set, but I'm not seeing that.
    I have the locale resource set to true as suggested in the wiki (and I have used xrdb to load the new resources, but it was actually set already before I logged in).
    I've also made sure to use a font that has those characters. Here you can see a screenshot of vim and gvim showing the same file with the same font.

    It's most likely your selection of fonts doesn't include the glyphs.  For xft (TrueType) I use DejaVu Sans Mono to balance glyph coverage with legibility and I use WenQuanYi Bitmap Song for the double wide characters.
    xterm*faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book:antialias=false
    xterm*faceNameDoublesize: WenQuanYi Bitmap Song
    xterm*faceSize: 8
    ! Fix for DJVSM low-hanging underscore, adds line spacing:
    xterm*scaleHeight: 1.01
    The default XLFD font, aliased to "fixed", has very good glyph coverage.  You can probably switch to it with xterm's Ctrl-Right_Click menu: uncheck 'TrueType Fonts' and make sure Default is checked.  Or start a new xterm instance from the command line:
    $ xterm -xrm "*renderFont: false" &
    The default fonts for xterm are all XLFD.  You can view the system defaults in '/usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XTerm'.  The defaults may be overwritten by your user's X resources configuration.
    Edit: fixed missing space in code.

  • How can i make my e-mail account private on my wife's ipad

    How can I make my .mac account and my wife's gmail account private for each of us on the IPad?

    You can't - the iPad is essentially a single-user device. You could try providing feedback here to see if it makes it into a future iOS release http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html - you aren't the first person to enquire about this, and it's possibe that the more people who request it the more likely it is to appear.

    FaceTime is free to use. You will not be charged for using FaceTime.

    Apple doesn't have anything to do with this other than enforcing the DRM protection. The developers of this content expect to be paid if someone wants to use their content. When you purchase content in the app store, you purchase a license to use the content. This license does not permit you or anyone else to resell or give this content away. The individual you purchased the phone from simply does not have the right to sell or give away any purchased content on the phone. You were deceived.

  • When I am connected to my home wifi, it says I am connected but the 4G icon doesn't go away.  How can I make that go away when I am connected?

    When I am connected to my home wifi, it says I am connected but the 4G icon doesn't go away.  How can I make that go away when I am connected?

    When I'm at my home, and on my Wifi, my 4G icon on my LG G2 is still present. No big deal. If the bits can flow via WiFi, that's what they'll do.
    You might try (if you really MUST shut off the cellular radio):
    Settings, Network Connections and More networks. Select Mobile Networks and uncheck Mobile data and data roaming.
    Not sure if that will work - but give it a try.

  • Just restored my iPhone from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop?

    Just restored my iPhone 5  from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop?  We had it all set up fine before the restore, and there was a trick to it in the settings.  I've noticed that since my restore, her phone has picked up what looks like the symbol of a phone in the upper right corner of the display, right next to the Bluetooth symbol.

    Hi Big Slick,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
    It sounds like your iPhones may be using a new feature in iOS 8 called Continuity. The following article and information explains how to set up this feature for phone calls. You can review the information on the setup to reverse this effect. My suggestion would be to turn off FaceTime on one of the devices.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Phone calls
    With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
    To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
    Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
    Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
    All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
    Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • How can I make invisible the menu "window" on oracle webforms

    anybody can tell me how can I make invisible menu "window" that appears on webforms?
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hi Andrew,
    Thank you for looking at my problem!
    Both my development system and test system are Window XP. The font size are all set to Normal. What other details do you need to know?
    The text on front panel shows well on my development machine. But when the .exe runs on my test machine, the text size was not adjusted by itself so the text body got cut off.
    I found a way to "fix" this problem: I had to drag the text box down and right so there is enough magin between the text body and the box on the right and at the bottom. I had to try it a few times until it finally shows well on my test machine. However, with those magins, it doesn't look nice on my development machine anymore. Also, I only tried on one test machine, if it looks good on one test machine, will it look good on all the other machines? Eventually my app is going to run on Window 7. I'll have to test that out and find out if it's still going to be a problem. Anyway, I don't feel this is the right way to do it. I hope someone knows what I'm talking about and have a soluction to it.
    Thanks very much!
