How to connect to Shared-WEP with Windows 8.1?

Hello, I have searched forums, answer long time was that big "NO" from microsoft staff,  we don't care we are  much smarter than users.
So my question is, is here some option or fix how to use shared key in wifi network?
I am forced to use network with shared key and I CANNOT change that. Network is not mine and admin is probably former Microsoft employee, so he will not discuss anything. 
Or even maybe it's MY decision which encryption I will use and even Microsoft however is OS maker he cannot decide it for me?

Hello Pavel452,
I can understand your feelings.
Shared WEP is insecure. Based on my knowledge, I can’t find any official solution to make Windows 8.1 support Shared-WEP.
Best regards,

    How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?
    So far if I set it as above then shared does not show up? I have to set the firewall to set access to specific applications and services to get access to my windows based hard drive.
    Cheers

    Ok I solved it myself. Not an ideal solution as I have to connect it manually each time but it will do... Unless anyone has a way to have it auto connect when I start the mac.

  • File sharing bug with windows in mountain lion

    File Sharing Bug with Windows
    Hi,
    there are some windows in our firm and we're sharing the files using File Sharing. The problem is that the windowses can see the files not only the ones in public folder, but also whole disk, like Desktop, Library etc. When i installed Lion, it was happened again for one time. But then it fixed in a way which i don't know. After Mountain Lion, this problem occurs again.
    So, why can it be happened and how do i fix it? please help me.
    thank you.

  • How do I stop sharing mail with other users on my computer

    How do I stop sharing mail with other users on my Macbook pro?

    You may have to set up different user accounts in the computer if you wish to
    continue sharing the computer among other people, and only use the Mail app.
    Otherwise, if you use a webmail such as yahoo, gmail, or other, just use a browser
    and login each time; then there is no saving of your email to the computer as such.
    I've never used an email client software, nor had an ISP based email account. So
    my numerous computers have never downloaded email into software. No loss.
    But the answers do include setting up extra user accounts, not admin level, so the
    other users do not mess with the operating system; a standard account or just a
    guest account to use a browser to access web-based login email accounts, works.
    There are third-party email client for OS X, some are free applications, others are
    part of a larger browser product, such as SeaMonkey, & other Mozilla derivatives.
    They provide an email segment or client aspect; unlike Firefox that's a browser.
    Setup information should be within the Help viewer in the computer itself. Or by a
    simple search online, including the OS X version and any email client software
    your computer may have installed. Some browser software includes email client.
    Also there are several ways to go in this matter. I don't see questions, only answers.
    To learn how the Mail application works, if you want to import everyone's mail, then
    figure how to set up user accounts in the OS X. Or use web-mail & login by browser.
    Hopefully you can find the best solution for the unasked question.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How to connect 2 iPod classics with bluetooth

    I am trying to sync photos between 2 iPod classics, iPad4 and iphone 5 with blue tooth. The only devices that are seeing each other is the iPhone and iPad but still hasn't' synced the photos. Why re the apple devices not able to see each other?

    Havilah Farm wrote:
    Why re the apple devices not able to see each other?
    Because that's the way Apple have designed it. They have used a particular Bluetooth protocol that is designed to allow audio to be transmitted to Bluetooth headphones or Bluetooth speakers (for example) and some peer-to-peer gaming between the devices, but not the transfer of files.
    To transfer photos, Sync them via your iTunes programme. If you took the photos on the device, transfer them to your computer first and then Sync them with the other devices. For photos that were not taken on the device, they presumably were Synced from your computer originally, so simply Sync them to your other devices from the computer.
    By the way, your subject question: "how to connect two iPod Classics with Bluetooth"...
    You cannot. The Classic does not have Bluetooth.

    I have take pictures from my ipad 4. How to download to my computer with windows operating system conneted through USB cable with out using internet

    Plug your iPad into your computer. THere may be a delay while it installs drivers but if you can see your iPad in windows explorer, use that to get to your photos.
    Click on your iPad and you should see a DCIM folder. Click thorugh that to find your photos.
    Windows explorer will see your iPad as nothing more than a digital camera, and that's the part you're trying to access.

  • Lion server file sharing issue with windows API read/write ini file (GetPrivateProfileString)

    Hello,
    I try to config lion server as file server for a windows application we use at work. All other computers are windows 7 or XP, lion server is the only mac. I choose lion server because it's size, quality and personal love of apple products.
    10.7.2 lion server's samba file sharing works almost perfectly with all my windows machines, I can copy, delete, modify any text files or office files without any issue, but the most important windows application for my business doesn't work with samba file sharing. After some digging, I found it is because windows program can't read or write INI file stored on lion share. Windows API GetPrivateProfileString always returns empty if the INI file is store on lion share.
    You can download a small application for read/write windows INI file from codeproject.com to test this problem:
    http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/ini.aspx
    I can open/edit the in file using any text editor without any problem. The only problem is with those windows APIs. ACL is turned on for my lion share and assigned "delete" rights to samba users.
    I install samba3 on the same server; it works perfectly with windows API. My windows program also works. Looks like there is something wrong with lion server's sambax.
    I'd prefer to use built-in samba even I have samba3 working. Built-in samba is very immature right now, but considered how young it is, I will give apple some time to make it mature.
    Does anyone have same issue or knows how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Michael.

    All the memory is fine. The server rarely if ever goes down when there are only around 10-12 users connected. When there are 20+ users connected and working heavily it goes down often. When I say working heavily, I mean they are transferring huge files to the SAN (100GB+), sometimes 5 at a time per user, and there are a bunch of others who are reading large video files at a minimum of 220MB/sec from the SAN.
    Though this worked on Snow Leopard without any issues, Lion just doesn't seem to be able to handle it. The odd thing is, on Snow Leopard there was only a single 1GB ethernet connection to a NAS system, whereas with Lion we have a much more powerful machine with a 6-port 10GB ethernet card and a 4 lane 8GB fiber card to a true SAN. You would think that the newer scenario with Lion would handle far more users with ease.
    So far, very disappointing with regards to Lion's file serving performance.

  • I believe I found the fix solving home sharing issues with Windows 7

    I was having a problem with my Windows 7 PC while trying to connect iTunes home sharing and my Apple TV.  While speaking to Apple support, the tech told me that home sharing uses port 3689.  I searched the web and found this link explaining how to open a port on your PC.  The issue seems to be with Windows firewall, or the anti virus software controlling the Windows firewall.  I use Norton anti virus so when I opened the Windows firewall selection in the control panel, the Norton window opened and the fix was identical to the one shown in this link.  http://maximumpcguides.com/windows-7/open-a-port-in-windows-7s-firewall/
    Follow the instructions on the page and for step #7, enter 3689.  When you get to step #10, I typed in "Apple TV Home Sharing" so I could identify the port later on.  I made these changes, rebooted the computer, started iTunes, turned on the Apple TV and everything worked.  Try it and this should solve what seems to be a common problem.

    Solved - at least all good so far.
    I had to add rules to my firewall software (Symantec Endpoint Protection) for Bonjour (UDP 5353) and DAAP (TCP 3689).  Once I did that, the other librares were shown in SHARING and the Apple TV reliably connects.
    What I don't understand was why it worked at all without the rules in place.

  • Sharing iTunes with Windows 7

    Currently running OSX 10.7.5 and Windows 7, along with newest version of iTunes 11.x
    My iTunes and music files are on the Mac partition, and I wanted to be able to access my library from the Windows side. I installed iTunes and copied the iTunes library files over from my Mac side to the Windows side. I had iTunes open the library and changed preferences so that it pulls the music files from the Mac side (E:) and doesn't make any changes to the library. It works fine.
    Now, my problem is in regards to keeping the library up to date with the Mac side. If I add a song on the Mac side (and yes, I want to use this as the "master" side), I would like it to show up on the Windows side. I read a post on here from a year or so ago that described creating a .bat file that would automatically copy the Mac library files to the windows side, replacing the old library files each time Windows booted. After some reading (don't have a lot of experience with Windows Command Prompt), I was able to write a .bat file that accomplished this.
    My problem is that while it updates the files correctly, it resets my iTunes preferences such that iTunes now looks for my music files on the Windows side, and re-checks the boxes re: keeping the music library organized etc. When I manually change the preferences back, it has to update the library (I assume re-connecting all the library pointers to the actual files), but the new songs are there.
    Is there a way to keep the iTunes preferences the same so that it doesn't have to re-connect all the files every time, and it just updates with the new stuff? I assume I just don't know enough enough about how iTunes library files work, but I read somewhere that the preferences were kept in \Local Data, and not in the iTunes folder. Thanks in advance.

    If both computers are on the same wireless network, it might be most straightforward to just use Home Sharing to copy the music from the Windows PC to the MacBook Pro:
    Understanding Home Sharing
    It means having a copy of the content locally on the MBP ... but from a backup perspective, that's not such a bad thing.
