How do I make sure wireless bridge is on my wifi network?!?

Suppose I have a wireless bridge from Linksys, which lets my network disk be on my home wifi network. It's set up to grab an address via DHCP. But, I'm thinking - my neighbor also has a wifi network. How do I make sure the disk is talking to my Linksyst router, not to others that may be in the vicinity? The router has a MAC address filter, and that's great but it's the wrong direction: how do I make sure my wireless devices aren't talking to other people's wifi routers?

To prevent your wireless devices from accidently connecting to a neighbor's system, you must set up wireless security.
You will need to enter the following information in both your wireless router and your wireless devices:
1) a unique SSID - this identifies your network
2) your chosen method of encryption
3) your encryption key
You should be able to set your "network disk" (or the bridge that it is using) to only connect to the wireless system that matches 1, 2, and 3 above.
For more on wireless security, see my previous post at:

How can I get my wireless printer to join my wifi network?

Since HP Setup Assistant doesn't work with Mavericks, is there another way to get my wireless printer connected to my new wifi network? This printer (HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809) worked just fine with Mavericks on my old wifi network. But my DSL provider recently installed a new router, so I have a new wifi network, which works just fine with everything else.
I was able to get my two Airport Expresses to join my new network, using Airport Utility, but I'm stumped as to how to get my printer to join the new network without the aid of HP Setup Assistant.
Following the advice of Shlomi, I managed to reset my printer so that it now appears in my list of wifi networks under Devices, as hpsetup. But that's as far as I got. Any help would be most approeciated.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Bruce777 solved this for me, thank you Bruce! My printer now works perfectly on my new wifi network!
Bruce's instructions, for anyone else having the same issue:
- delete any previously set up printers
- scrub old hp software and update software to get the hp 2.8 drivers
- remove the usb cable from the printer if you have one connected
- reset the printer network to hpsetup (hold down the power button and press network button 2x and then cancel 3x, release power button.)
- print out the wireless network test report (hold down the network button and press the update button 2x). verify the network name / ssid is hsetup
- got to sys prefs > network and change the mac wireless network to hpsetup
- go to the sys pref > print scan
- add the HP 8000 printer
- click on the options and supplies button and click on the Show Printer Webpage
- click on the networking tab > wireless in the left pane > start network wizard and change the network from hpsetup to your network
- finish (this page may freeze up. close the browser)
- go back to the sys prefs and change the wireless network back to your networt
- go to the printer and print out the wireless network test report (press network button and update button 2x). Check that the SSID is your network
- go to sys prefs > print scan > select your printer > options & supplies > show printer webpage > network info (check ssid and compare to wireless network test report)
- try printing something to your printer. It might take a little time the first print.

shoo: if i had to do that for every file i get i would go insane, as scott said, post contract: files that they (sub contractor) supply you, presume them ok unless you KNOW otherwise, or a copyright flag pops up contradicting ownership.

Simply make sure that your printer is on and connected to the same wireless network as your MacBook. In this case, you can be sure your Mac is connected to the printer

How do I delete photos from my daughter's ipod that showed up on there when she got music from her aunt's itunes? Also how do I make sure none of my iphone pics show up on her ipod in the future (we use the same itunes account and I think same icloud).

I'm totally new to iphone/ipod. I need help with the following:
1) How do I get rid of a folder of photos that showed up on my daughter's ipod touch when she received some songs from her aunt's itunes? After she got some songs from that itunes a folder of pictures showed up with no delete option. Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?
2) Also, my daughter uses same itunes as myself, how do I make sure any pics I have on my iphone & icloud (itunes) don't show up on her ipod? I shut off my photostream so perhaps this is the solution. But I noticed that a message I sent from her ipod to my sister (an iphone user) later showed up on my iphone (as if I had sent it from my iphone)! That was really odd. I'd like to keep our itunes account together simply so I can monitor her downloads, etc so I don't want to open up her own itunes to avoid automatic syncing.
I only want to share music between our devices. I don't want her pics nor my pics to go to icloud/itunes.
Thank you!

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

2)
Create a NEW account for 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.

I have just switched to samsung and i have removed the sim from the iphone however i am still receiving texts rather 'imessage' on the old iphone. how do i make sure all messages only come to my new phone??

i have just switched to samsung and i have removed the sim from the iphone however i am still receiving texts rather 'imessage' on the old iphone. how do i make sure all messages only come to my new phone??

You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone. That's relatively easy. Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one. For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

How do I make sure my iPhone sends a text not an iMessage?

My iPhone seems nowadays to try to send a SMS as an "iMessage" rather than a text. This does not work very well. I have had delays of several hours, and messages delivered to computers at home rather than the phone in the pocket. Also it uses data bandwidth rather than the phone signal without asking my permission. This is a serious shortcoming IMO.
How do I make sure that my text messages actually are text messages.

Just turn off iMessage in Settings

If you have copied them to your computer, then you will be OK. Just deselect the photos when you sync.

How do I make sure that my second-hand iPod is not a stolen product?

My husband recently recieved an iPod shuffle from a friend of his. His friend told him he could have it since the friend didn't have a computer to download songs from or charge the iPod with. He states that he thought the iPod already had songs pre-recorded on it, and even if he used someone else's computer to get the songs, it's too much trouble. My husband had lent him some money to pay a utility bill and he was using this iPod that he just happened to have laying around to pay my husband back. I don't trust my husband's friend. How can I make sure that he isn't trying to push a stolen iPod off onto my husband? We haven't used it yet. My husband doesn't have much use for the shuffle, but I would love it, if only I could find out whether it was stolen or not. I don't want to take it to the police and start a big fight or get his friend in trouble, but if it is stolen I want to know so I can send it back to Apple or who ever owns it.

Hi pyrausagi,
You sound like a very honest and sensible person, who is taking very reasonable precautions against becoming a second victim of theft. Others on these forums have been less cautious and have lost their recent purchases.
My suggestion would be to make sure the person offering the iPod shuffle is easily identifyable. Make sure he/she has a real address and you know what it is. Get a picture of the person and make sure they know you have it. If they are not above board I'm fairly sure they won't allow this.
There are a number of online databases of stolen merchandise. Look them up and check the serial number of the iPod against these databases.
Apple will not tell you if the item is stolen. Their phone agents that work with the public do not have that kind of information.
Note that doing all this will not guarantee you don't get a stolen iPod. Only purchasing one new (or refurbished) from Apple or an authorized reseller can do that. It does, however, give you a better chance.
Best of luck. Enjoy whatever iPod you get.

I updated to iOS7 and my deleted photos came back. How do I make sure this doesn't happen again?

I updated to iOS7 and my deleted photos came back. How do I make sure this doesn't happen again? I want to get rid of the ones I already got rid of, but if they just keep coming back that will be a waste of time.
Can anyone help?
When I sync with itunes, the photos sections says I am syncing with my iphone, so I assume that anything I physically delete from my iphone should not be showing up again. Right?
Thanks in advance.
CM
PS- I don't use iphoto.

Is that really how sync works?
If you read this, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236 and this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314 they don't actually make how sync works very clear. I had thought that syncing my device to itunes would allow I tunes to copy what was currently on my phone so that I could restore that information when needed ie if your phone dies and you need to do a clean install of the iOS system, you always have what is currently on your phone saved in Itunes.
Specifically reading this:
To delete Camera Roll photos and videos from your device
There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
Import the Camera Roll to your computer and choose to delete items after import.
Delete photos and videos from your device manually:
Open the Photos application and open the Camera Roll.
Tap the Action button.
Tap each photo to select it.
Tap the Delete button.
Note: For photos and videos you want to save, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.
What you seem to be saying is that iTunes saves every contact, message, photo etc and when you click sync, it reuploads things that you deleted? This seems like it should work the opposite. Make a mirror image of my iPhone on my computer, not make a mirror image of my computer onto my iPhone. You delete things for a reason.
Help- anyone else? Is razmee209 right?

How do I make sure my music will play when I burn a copy of a slide show?

How do I make sure my music will be included when I burn a copy of a slide show. I have made many many slide shows over the years with the music in perfect sync to the slides. I recently updated my iMac to OS 7. I did not want to do it because I heard it created issues with iPhoto. But because I had updated my iPhone and my iPad, and although I don't like OS 7 (the first time I have not liked an upgrade) I thought I could figure out how to solve problems/ differences. Well, this has me stumped. It plays perfectly on my iMac, but when I burned a copy to share with friends, the music did not burn or transfer. Does anyone have any ideas why this does not work, and what I have to do to ensure that the music I selected and added to the slide show using the settings did not burn along with the iPhoto slide show?
Mairzy

I recently updated my iMac to OS 7
What is really your MacOS X version? iOS 7 is the operating system for iPhone, iPad, iPod.
But what versions are you using on your iMac? Have you upgraded to Mavericks, MacOS X 10.9.x and iPhoto 9.5.1, or are you using an earlier version?
It plays perfectly on my iMac, but when I burned a copy to share with friends, the music did not burn or transfer.
How did you export the slideshow and burn the DVD?
To have the music play along with the slideshow, you need to export your Slideshow project as a video file - use the "Export" button below the Slideshow window and select a format.
Check, if the exported video does play well and the audio is present.
Then burn a video DVD using iDVD or Toast, or a similar program to burn video DVDs, see:
