How do I find iPod's MAC and the encryption level used to login?

I have a wireless network with WEP security Wireless Encryption Level 128 bit and also Wireless Network Access activated.
I need to add the MAC of the iPod. How do you get the iPod's MAC?
Also how do I know iPod is using 128 bits instead 64bits in the encryption level?
Does anybody know this?
I cannot connect to the network I disabled the Wireless Network Access and still cannot login, the password is correct and I am thinking that the iPod is using 64 bit with WEP which is totally useless when you have a network already configured.
I will appreciate your help.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You'll find the +iPod touch's+ MAC address in Settings > General > About > Wi-Fi Address.
The +iPod touch+ will use 128/40bit WEP depending on what you have the router set to.
Are you entering the password in the correct case? You may need to put $ infront of your password.
Merry Christmas

How do I find what itunes account and apple id I used years ago when I got my ipod?

How do I merge my old ipod with my current itunes library. I'm not sure of my previous itunes or apple id..

iPods (except for the iOS-based iPod touch) are not directly associated with an Apple ID. The only way your Apple ID may comes into play is if you have songs on the iPod that were purchased from iTunes Store (using your Apple ID), and you want to transfer those purchased songs (not other songs) from the iPod into your current iTunes library.
If your goal is to transfer all song files from the iPod to your computer, you cannot do that (by design) using iTunes (except for songs that you purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "iPod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your current iTunes library. If you have songs purchased from the iTunes Store, and they are older purchases from the early days of the iTunes Store (when songs were copy protected), you may need to authorize your computer for the Apple ID used to make the purchases. Otherwise, those songs will not play or sync. Please post back if this is the case...

TS4006 My kid misplaced her iPad, we can't find it for almost three months already. It is connected to our other iDevices by 'Find My iPhone/ Mac' and the iPad show still offline until now. Is there any way to find the last location before it was off ?

My kids misplaced her iPad, we can't find it for almost three months already. Check using 'find my iPhone' it show the iPad still OFF. Is there any way to find it last location before it was OFF ?

Simply stated that is design. If you want to suggest a change, there is a feedback section elsewhere on this site.

If I go to the apple store they wont believe that this ataully happened and I have no idea where the recipt is please help this my first time ever having a device linked to apple please please help me !!!!

Hey ther Jadabigs11,
It sounds like you either need to find the Apple ID email address that you registered the iPod Touch with, or need to reset the password associated with that email address. If you need to find the email outright, this article will help you do that:
Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID - Apple Support
if you need to reset the password, use this article instead:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How do you file share between mac and pc?

i need to know how one can share files between a mac and a pc. my MBP is running os x 10.5.2 and my PC is running vista.
thanks!

Mac/Windows Networking in Leopard
The following articles outline how to set up networking between Macs using Leopard and Windows PCs:
Setting up a Windows computer to share files with Mac users
Setting up a Mac computer to share files with Windows users
Sharing with Windows computers
If you can’t connect to your Mac from a Windows computer
Sharing your computer with others on your network
More information is also available by selecting Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and searching for the relevant terms such as "windows", "networking", "sharing", etc.
Also read:
Simple guide to Leopard/Windows Home Networking
Written by Intercepter121 and originally posted on the Apple Discussions here.
If your network complies to the minimum requirements described below you should be able to share resources without any need to enter commands in the terminal to modify configuration files in your mac.
Requirements
1. A decent router
2. Mac Os x 10.5.1 installed on your macs
3. Windows XP or Vista
4. Number of network devices <10
5. Some network printers or drives (NAS)
6. A decent ISP offering a good DNS service
<u>General Settings
If your router offers DHCP and any of the device has power saving features there is a risk that the IP addresses are renewed. This can be problematic as the devices keep changing IP addresses. As this is your network is strongly recommended to reserve IP addresses to the MAC (Machine Address Code) of the various devices so that they can power on and off and still keep the same IP.This simple suggestion will greatly improve the browsing of the local network.
Accessing Windows Resources from Leopard with no authentication
Windows
1. Check the settings of the PC and ensure the IP addresses on the local LAN are trusted
2. Activate sharing on the desired devices ensuring the shares are read and write. If you use Vista ensure password protected sharing is disabled.
3. Try to access the windows share from another windows computer if available to confirm no authentication is required
MAC
1. Go into system preferences->security-Firewall check that the setting is not on allow only essential services. Recommended settings is allow access to specific
2. Go back into system preferences network. On the tab location click edit locations. Duplicate Automatic and call the new location Home. Now select the Home location and go into Advanced-WINS. In the workgroup field enter the same value that is on the other windows computers for example HOME. Now press enter then go back to the main screen. Select Edit locations and delete the location automatic. Now edit your location Home and rename it Automatic. This workaround is a leopard bug described here.
3. Give 5 minutes to allow all the other machines to broadcast their IP address and the other computers should appear on the left side of your finder window. You can now select the shares you want to connect. As no authentication is active if you are prompted with a user name just press OK.
The procedure to access a NAS is the same as above, just ensure permissions are set to files are read/write for anyone to avoid confusion.
NOTE: There is no need to activate SMB sharing if you don't want to allow the PC to read folders on your MAC
Troubleshooting
After you have followed all the steps you don't see any windows PC.
Identify the IP address of the machine you want to connect. In finder select Option+K and enter SMB://IPADDRESS. If you can connect you have a name resolution problem. Go into your router configuration and ensure that the option DNS assigned by ISP is selected and you don't have services like Open DNS in use and fixed IP addresses in that field. Apply the changes and reboot the router. You should start seeing windows PC in finder shortly after.
Your ISP DNS service is poor and you must use Open DNS or similar
If you are forced to use services like open dns you have the risk that the router propagates the DNS servers to your machines. As the implementation of SAMBA in Leopard effectively blocks the MAC to be a master browser for performance reasons you end in a situation in which tiger machines connect and leopard ones don't see a single share. Let's fix it.
1. Go into System Preferences->Network then advanced DNS if you see here the IP addresses of the open dns servers this is the case. Unfortunately you will be forced to change the hosts file.
2.Ensure you have reserved IP addresses to all your machines so that they always get the same IP.
3. Now login into your mac as administrator and go into utilities=>terminal.
4. Issue the following command sudo pico /etc/hosts
5. Now scroll down and enter all the IP addresses and computer names of any device you want to browse
6. Reboot your MAC
The windows devices will now appear in finder and you will be able to connect with Option+K.
You cannot access shares even entering the IP address
You have not reserved IP addresses to each machine. Go into your router LAN set up and make sure that is the case.
Accessing Leopard resources from Windows
1. Go into system preferences->security-Firewall check that the setting is not on allow only essential services. Recommended settings is allow access to specific
2. Go into System preferences->accounts and click on Guest flag the option Enable guest account to access shared folders
3. Now into System preferences->sharing select file sharing and then options here flag SMB and select the user that has to be logged into the computer when the share has to be accessed. Ensure that the folder you want to share has read/write or whatever permissions you like it to have set for Everyone
You should now be able to see your MAC in the windows network resources and access the shared folder with a double click without any password request.
Troubleshooting
You don't see any MACs from Windows
Check the firewall settings at the start of this post. Then go back to the Network configuration hit advanced and then TCPIP check is using DHCP and not a fixed address. Then check the sharing is set as above with SMB clicked. If SMB is not set you won't even see your mac from windows.
You see the MAC and the shared folders but you can't read or write on it
Ensure you have set the guest account to access shared folders. Then check on the sharing preferences that there is at least one folder with read permission for everyone. The classic case here is Dropbox that leopard sets as read and write for the user of the MAC but no access for other users. You try to click on drop box and receive an error but when you actually try to write a file you can do it. Check the permissions on the subfolders of the share as those permissions will prevail on the home shared folders
FAQ
You may want to do more complicated things, but first ensure you can actually share files without security in place so you can identify the root cause of your possible problems
I want to password protect my windows shares: once you have done the relative set up in windows vista and ensured you can connect from another windows machine you will need to use user name and password of the Vista user to connect.
I want to password protect my MAC shared folders: Go into user account and disable guest access to shared folders is no shared folder has to be accessed without password otherwise leave it checked. Create a new user for sharing (better than giving away your password) so that this user only accesses the folders you want to share. In System preferences network select file sharing SMB and flag only the new user you have defined. Then go back to the folder section and set the permissions you like on the folder you want to share for this newly defined user.
Good Luck

How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?

Goal
- I am trying to share both my PC and Mac through my Apple TV2 on the "Computers" home sharing menu.
- These are 2 seperate iTunes accounts as they are 2 different owners of the PC and Macbook.
- However, home sharing only allows me to have one at a time, can I not have 2 computers connected?
(The menu is in fact plural and says "Computers" not "Computer")
Attempt
-I turn on home sharing on my PC with my PC iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as PC
-I turn on home sharing on my Mac with my Mac iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as Mac, but it deletes the PC share
Troubleshoot
-So I started from scatch and connected the PC share with my PC itunes account, it shows up,
-Then I connect the Mac home sharing with the same iTunes login as my PC, but it also erases my PC from the "Computers" list and just displays the Mac.
Question
-How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?
-I want them both to show up in the "Computers" list.
-So the final result will look like this on my Apple TV menu:
Computers
-PC
-Mac
whew... I'm out of breath... I hope there is an Apple Genius out there that can help.
Thanks!

After retrying the home share with the SAME ITUNES ACCOUNT ON HOME SHARING I finally got it to work.

Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
good luck

How can I set my mac (and the screen) to not go on sleep mode ?

I just want my mac (and the screen) stay alive for a minimum of 8 to 10 hours, not going in sleep mode (or save screen). Just displaying a web page without doing anything else. In preference system, energy save is all set to «never», but after a while the screen goes to sleep ... ?

You probably have a corrupt .plist file. To fix:
1. Hold down the option key.
2. In the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Library
3. In Library, find Preferences
4. In Preferences, find com.apple.systempreferences.plist and drag it to the trash
5. restart
6. you will have to reenter your preferences.
Another option is caffeine: Lighthead - Caffeine

I have a new mini mac and i want to use my existing external hard drive but it needs to be reformated how do i do this without loosing all my old photos?

Formatting will erase the drive.
You need to copy the photo's to either your old computer, the Mac Mini or to a new external drive and then decide what to do with your existing external drive.
For example: You could use one External drive for Photo's and one external drive for Time Machine to backup both your Mac Mini and the Photo drive.

I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells, find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96

I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells in a column, find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96 I used to use Excel and the formula worked fine in that. Here is my Formula
=(average(small(H201:H220,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
This formula worked in Excel and when I converted my spreadsheet over to Numbers, this formula no longer works.
The best that I have been able to do so far is use small in 10 different cells, then get the average of the 10 cells and finally multiply that average by .96 So instead of using 1 cell, I'm using 12 cells to get my answer.
This is a formula that I will be using all the time. The next cell would be =(average(small(H202:H221,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
Hoping I explain myself well enough and that someone can help me.
Thanks

You can still do it in one cell but it will be more unruly than the Excel array formula.
=average(small(H201:H220,1),small(H201:H220,2),small(H201:H220,3),...,small(H201:H220,10))*0.96
where you would, of course, replace the "..." with the remaining six SMALL functions.

To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.
Ciao.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
