How do I (re)set the Internet Sharing password?

I have Internet Sharing set up and working on my computer but I forget how to change the password! Thanks.

Marvin, To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
Try this cure for Security update...

    It depends upon how the other machines are connecting to your MBA:
    If the the other machines are also using wi-fi, they can connect directly to the wireless access point (router) without going through your MBA
    If the other machines are connecting to the MBA using ethernet you can share your wi-fi connection to them

    How does Imac connects to the internet?

    Through your ISP (internet service provider); once you set up an account with them, you can decide to connect via ethernet cable to their modem, or, if you have a router (which is connected to their modem, you can connect wirelessly.
    Is that what you were wondering about or did I misunderstand your question?

    how do i connect to the internet with my ipad?

    Did you turn WiFi on in the Settings App? If WiFi is turned on, your iPad should be able to see any WiFi networks that you can connect to and you should be able to tap on one of those, enter a password if needed and then tap the join button.
    I get the feeling that you know this and the problem needs further explanation so ... Can you explain in more detail?

    I am running a Macbook Pro (retina). Lately when I launch App Store and click on Updates the software updates for the software on the Macbook do not show up under the Updates tab. However, when I go to the Purchased tab I see there Update buttons next to programs that have updates ready to download.

    Many Thanks,

    Hi,
    Your printer has these:
     USB 2.0-compliant high speed
     USB 2.0 high-speed host port
     Wireless 802.11b/g/n*
     Wired 802.3 network (Ethernet)
    You can use USB or Ethernet connection to print. I always define USB as second printer and I can print direct.
    Regards.

  • I inadvertently pressed CTRL+ another key (possibly V or B or N) and the text size of my bookmarked page was significantly reduced in size. I can't read it. How do I re-set the text size?

    I mistakenly pressed CTRL + another key (possibly V or B or N or whatever), when I was reading my e-mail. The text size shrank to a size that is useless to me, but I cannot seem to get the text size re-set to normal. Indeed all of the formatting on the page has been reduced (symbols, instructions, frames etc). Existing Firefox and returning to the bookmarked page makes no difference. How do I re-set the system?

    Hi,
    Please try '''Ctrl''' + '''0''' (zero). Alternatively '''View''' ('''Alt''' + '''V''') > '''Zoom''' > '''Reset'''.

  • The internet sharing is not working on my iPhone.

    The internet sharing, from my iMac, is not working on my iPhone. It is connected at the beginning, but after a while (to be exact, 2 minutes!), the connection is lost. Can anyone helps me?
    Thanks.

    Try this one, it's really worked, http://www.appletips.nl/os-x-10-7-4-fix-voor-draadloos-netwerk-problemen-imac/ . I tried last night, and it's working. But you need to translate the page.
    If you haven't sent the feedback yet, try to contact them. It's maybe good for Apple's user in the future. http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

  • What does setting the internet zone security level to high actually do?

    I was asked to set the Internet zone security level to high via a GPO, this has been done for a test group of users. The setting has been confirmed, but as far as I can see it has not actually done anything.
    Can anyone tell me what changes I should see to the behavior and/or access of websites now the security level is set to high?

    Hi,
    Setting the internet zone security level to high might prevent harmful content with maximum safeguards and less secure features are disabled.
    When you visit some sites with script pop up, the script will be disabled if you set the security level to the high level. For more information about
    the internet zone security level, please refer to this:

  • 11gR2 OLAP - How to define or set the  size of the OLAP PAGE?

    Hi,all!
    Could you help me? How to define or set the size of the OLAP PAGE in 11gR2?

    Hi there,
    The size of an OLAP AW page is automatically derived from the block size of the tablespace in which it is stored (which in turn is typically derived from the db_block_size initialisation parameter)
    Do you have a particular concern about this setting?
    Thanks,
