How do I setup a Guest Account on a TC that is connected to a BT Homehub?

I am trying to create a guest account to allow friends and family to access the wifi network through my TC that is connected to a BT Homehub.   However when i try to update the setting on the TC Utilities I either keep getting a conflict with the DHCP setting or the TC can not be seen by my iMac.
Could anyone please help to keep my network secure.

The correct setting for your TC when it is connected to another router....the BT Homehub is a router.....is Bridge Mode. The Homehub is technically a "gateway"... a device that has a modem and a router on the same chassis.
AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
In order to configure the TC to enable the Guest Network, the TC must be connected to a simple modem, not a gateway, or router.

  • My wife and I share the same iTunes account.  How can I setup a separate account for her iPhone using my iMac?

    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

    How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

    You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569

    You can't, your friend can. So get in touch. If you can't then the phone is useless.

  • How do I setup an icloud account?

    Hello everyone:
    I have followed all of the limited instructions to set up icloud on my Windows 7 Ultimate computer.  I have downloaded the icloud control panel, but I do NOT see how to set up an icloud account.  I have been trying for several hours now to figure this out. 
    Thanking you all for any and all assistance and suggestions that you can give me.
    Sincerely,
    LadyJanette

    You have to first create the account on an iOS device (an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch running iOS 5 or later) as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html.  After the account is created, you then sign into the account on your computer in the iCloud control panel, as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.

  • How can I setup multiple iCloud accounts on my Mac?

    I'm trying to setup additional icloud accounts.  Is this possible and if so, how do you go about doing it?
    Thanks!

    Thanks...  I appreciate the reply.  Since I wrote the previous email, I actually went and changed my apple id (the main id) and the documentation I looked at said iCloud will set mail up automatically(?)...  I had it working before. 
    Also, I tried to manually set up the ID via the Mail Accounts screen(s) and I can't figure out what my server information is...  Pop or Imap?  What's the outgoing server and the incoming server?
    I typically have never had problems setting up mail accounts (in apple mail) with no problem.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance!

  • How can I remove the Guest account from the login screen?

    I'm very new to the Mac world so pardon this noob question.  But how can I control what user accounts are visible on the login screen on OS X?  I've already went into the System Preference, User Accounts and set the Guest account to disabled.  However this account is still on the logon screen when I reboot the Mac!  How can I remove this account and/or make sure that my user account is the only one visible?

    I'm not sure why this worked, but I found this in another post and it worked for me.
    Even when the Guest Account / Access is disabled, the login option / and lock screen, still have a guest login.
    This is because in Preferences/ Security & Privacy/General the bottom item is turned on.
    Turn on: Disable restarting to Safari when screen is locked

  • How do i force a guest account to Auto log off after being inactive for a period of time?

    I have a 2010 21" iMac running OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8) in a hotel's guest lounge. I want to have it log off of the guest account after being inactive for 5 mins so that it clears the session info if the last person who used it did not log off when they were done (***this happens very often***).
    I tried using the "System Preferences > Security> Log off when inactive for X minutes" option but this brings up the "Delete files and log off" dialogue which unless someone makes a selection just stays there and doesn't timeout, essentially stopping the logoff process.
    How can i bypass that dialogue and force the system to log off the Guest User to avoid any issues with other guest seeing info from the previous user?

    Hi daniel,
    I don't believe it's possible to do what you want, unless someone could write an Applescript for it. I suspect the best route for now is the old fashioned way, paper and marker, warning guests to log off or their info will be public.

  • How do I customize the Guest Account in Lion

    There is a discussion thread on how to customize the dock for the Guest account in Leopard <https://discussions.apple.com/message/6511435#6511435> but I do not think it will work in Lion.
    I would like to customize the desktop and dock for the Guest account. I want a true Guest Account that will erase files when they log out.

    I'd like to go back to the original question. I don't see an answer here yet.
    We just set up a new iMac in the front office and need the "Guest" account for those who float through the office. Unfortunately, the way it currently works, each time they open Microsoft Word they are asked to register since the user files are deleted.
    I would also like to update the dock removing things they won't use like "Mail" and adding Pages and other applications they will use.
    Other constant customizations would be great (setting system preferences like printer, custom desktop, Safari Home Page, etc.) but at least not having them asked to register applications each time would be good.
    The original poster, Richard, added a link to how to do it in Snow Leopard, but it doesn't work in Lion.
    Anyone figure out how to do this in LION yet?
    Thanks.

  • How do i setup another icloud account under an apple id??

    Wondering how to i can setup another icloud account under an active apple id?? Plz Help ... Thx

    Would this work for my situation:
    iTunes Account is under a pre-Dot Mac/MobleMe Apple ID and I want to also keep my @mac.com email address and Apple ID.
    So if I go and convert my MobleMe account over to iCloud, could I then use your suggestion and create a second iCloud account so that I could then use iTunes Match?
    This is because Apple can't seem to hire anyone knowledgeable enough to know how to merge two accounts into one (something done thousands of times a day by thousands of other companies) so they say I have to decide: lose all my iTunes Store purchases (music, apps, iBooks) or lose my email address.
