How can I tell who is connected to my network?

Is there a quick way to see what other computers are connected via wireless to my Airport network? I don't want to access those computers, I just want to see who's connected. Thanks.

Yes. You can use the AirPort Utility to determine both wireless and DHCP clients connected to your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS).

Internet Sharing: How can I tell who's connected?

Hello!
I have moved to a new apartment and have inherited a new and bothersome neighbor who likes to steal my internet.
I've tried changing the password on my router and on my network, changing my network name, not broadcasting SSID and enabling MAC address filtering, but whatever I do with my router, I can check my list of people on my network and there he is again. It's really getting annoying.
I've unplugged my router and plugged my modem directly into my eMac and have turned on internet sharing through my Airport. I've passworded and named that network so my iPod touch and my xbox 360 can still get online.
_When I was using my router, I could check to see who was online using my network, how do I do that now that I am using internet sharing?_
_What other measures can I enact_ to prevent this jerk of a neighbor from bogging down my network? He doesn't just log on, check his email and get off, he KILLS my internet speed downloading God only knows what! It *****. Please help!
Thanks!
Ashley

Hiding your SSID, using MAC address filtering does not protect you it can easily be circumvented.
I've unplugged my router and plugged my modem directly into my eMac and have turned on internet sharing through my Airport. I've passworded and named that network so my iPod touch and my xbox 360 can still get online.
This is also insecure as internet sharing using WEP security and this can be cracked.
To fix your problem setup your router ( i assume its a wireless router) to use WPA2 encryption with AES. Setup a password that is not a dictionary word and contains numbers, upper and lower case letters of 8 characters or more.

How can I check who is connected to my network?

Hello,
can someone suggest me a tool or widget that allows me to verify who is connected to my private wireless network?
I am also looking for a tool or widget that warns me when a new user has entered the network.
Thanks in advance

If you use WPA then no unauthorised user will be able to connect to your network.
Depending on the age of your Mac, the Airport Management Tools will allow you to see who is connected to your wireless network.

How can you tell who the original sender of a group text is on an iPhone 5, when all that appears is a list of recipients in no particular order

how can you tell who the original sender of a group text is on an iPhone 5, when all that appears is a list of recipients in no particular order? I can't seem to identify the sender in the details list.

Start a separate thread to the original sender.

How can you tell who has FaceTime?

My brother called me on FaceTime a couple of weeks ago. He said that he'd "opened FaceTime, saw you were on and figured I'd say hi." How could I tell who has FaceTime and who doesn't, and how someone who has it is "on"?
I have Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, as well as iPod Touch 6.1.5

Suddenly there are people sharing my library,
How do you know?
but they do not show up under "Shared" on my side bar.
That shows libraries that others are sharing. It does not show who is connected to yours.
There's an AppleScript I saw somewhere to show who is connected to your shared iTunes library.

How can I tell *who* is using a shared folder on my Mac?

I've searched high and low looking for a way to (1) get notified when someone connects to my Mac via AFP, and (2) see who is connected. Except for the System Preferences->Sharing panel, which will reveal how many users are connected, there's nothing I can find that will tell me anything about current AFP connections.
Perhaps there's a third-party utility that will do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

And that "Who is connected" looks real neat!
It is a bit of a letdown, actually. I just tried it, could only get it to show that there is someone connected, but not how many or who they are. And then I saw this right on their webpage itself:
Known bugs and limitations:
- Who Is Connected? doesn't do everything that it says on the tin (yet)...it doesn't list individual connections at a given point in time. Sorry, it almost does what it says on the tin, and it may well do one day, but not quite yet.
At this time, Who Is Connected? seems more useful for SSH than AFP. Well, unfortunately I never use SSH...
I got a little more out of Network Utility. It's more cryptic, you kind of have to know what all the code means, after clicking all the buttons I was able to locate something that said "afp" and identify the IP address of my other connected Mac but a lot of Mac users wouldn't even know to look for that.
I guess this problem is crying out for a solution that is truly Mac-like in its readability.

Can I tell who is connected?

Is there a way to see who is connected to my airport? Are there applications that break down information being transmitted?
Thanks

I think the Airport Management Tools will assist you
in achieving what you are looking for. The can be
found here: http://www.apple.com/support/airport/
Towards the middle of the right hand side of the
page.
Happy Monitoring!
Hi, and thank you for the reply. I did the download of the Airport management tools. However it doesn't seem to work on my Intel Duo Mac-mini. Maybe there needs to be an update for it. In the mean time, I'll be looking for it.

How can you tell who created an event on a shared calendar?

I allow delegates access to my "Office Calendar" and they have write rights. I'd like to be able to tell who created an event.
Is that not possible?
I've looked all over the event in "Get Info" & the Inspector.
Thanks

I don't think this is possible with iCal, but I know that is definitely possible with BusyCal.

How can you keep iphone from connecting to unknown networks and stop asking about them?

When i have WiFi on, but "ask to join" is turned off, i've found that my iphone connects to open unsecured networks on its own whenever it can. These are not networks it has previously been connected to. I want it to behave like every other WiFi device out there where i have a list of known networks that it accesses when in range and i don't want it to ask me or connect to anything else when not in range. I understand i can turn WiFi off but this is a pretty big pain to have to manually do this every time i go in and out of range of networks i want to be connected to.
It also would be nice if anyone knows of a way to edit my know networks list as a list instead of having to be in range of the network and then one by one go through every visible network to figure out which ones it considers known. Especially when it has automatically added networks without my knowledge when the ask to join was turned off.

Let me give you an example. I'm at a United lounge at O'Hare Airport right now. They have WiFi here but it requires that you log on in order to connect to the internet. I connect to WiFi from my laptop. All good. Then, immediately, my iPhone connects to the same network. But because I haven't logged on from my iPhone, I can't get online. This kills the internet on my iPhone because I'm connected to a network with no internet access. If on my iPhone I "Forget this Network" and then come back next week, I'll find that it connects to the exact same network.
I travel a lot and almost all of the networks I use on a daily basis require a login of some sort.
I could turn off WiFi but then I have to remember to turn it on when I actually do want to connect to a network, like when I'm at home.
Any idea how to prevent the mirroring of WiFi connections? Or at a minimum make sure the "Forget this Network" option actually works?

Can someone help me with my question?

Someone stole my iPod, how can I tell if they connected it to itunes and restored it?

I need to know how to track whether they've restored it to make it their own or not..

No. All you have to do is place the iPod in recovery mode (erases the iPod) and restore via iTunes.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number

How can I see who is connected to my Airport Express? Airport utility does not provide it

Dear community,
I'm highly surprised by the difficulties to find a simple request… I look on the web, and find some old topic about it, suggesting "Airport Management Tool" which is the old version of the Airport utility on my OSX 10.8.5, so I cannot install it. I have the lasted Airport utiity firmware and software (6.3.1).
I'm pretty sure Apple have a simple way to do it, without downloading any extra software.
Thank you for your time, I hope you can help me out.
Best regards !

How can i tell who is listening to my music on the network?

I'd like to be able to see who is browsing my music, who is listening and what are they currently listening to... is there any way to do this?
I'm on windows 2000, iTunes version 5

"IP Scanner" claims to do Bonjour to user mapping, but in a general sense - not iTunes specific. But it's a Mac tool.
You can also look at the raw data. Open a command window and type in
netstat -a | findstr "5353"
That may show you a list of systems talking to you Bonjour, the underlying protocol.

How can I tell if the connection us 802.11g or 802.11n?

G'day people
I bought a new Time Capsule today and just installed it. Both my iMac and MacBook are backing-up with Time Machine to the Time Capsule; that's great.
I also have an AppleTV and a TiVo set-top-box connected. I want to confirm that the iMac, MacBook and AppleTV are connected to the Time Capsule via 802.11n and the TiVo is connected as 802.11g.
Is there anything I can look up on both computers to confirm 802.11n connection?
Thanks
Al

Just got home from Sydney - Love it there, Mate!
Hold "option" and click the airport icon in
the toolbar. If the rate is over 54, it is n. If 54 or less it could be either, so make sure you are closer to the TC when you do it.
