How to secure wireless connection with additional laptop and ipod touch.

Hello,
We are new to Mac and struggling with internet security.
We have a wireless internet dongle that connects into a USB port and some days our ipod touch can connect other days it cant, I am never prompted for a password to connect. This morning we were setting up a new laptop for our daughter and it found our wireless network and informed us it was unsecured. So we assume anyone within range is utilising our wireless connection.
If I turn on firewalls it shuts off everything, if we look at airport we get even more confused.
Is there a simple way to resolve this so our internet connection is for our house only and new devises that try to connect need to enter a password.
Thank you for your help!

Describe the equipment in your network. Modem? Router?

TS4062 I'm stuck on "waiting for items to copy" when I try to sync my laptop and iPod touch. What can I do about this?

I'm stuck on "waiting for items to copy" when I try to sync my laptop and iPod touch. It was fine until the latest update. It's very frustrating. What can I do about this?

Hi maasailand giraffe,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
First of all, thanks for the detailed notes of the troubleshooting steps you've already tried. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what is going on in your specific case, but I do have a few more ideas for you to try.
Starting with just one of your iPads, when you get stuck on the "waiting for items to copy" step, just disconnect your iPhone. There are probably some orphaned or corrupt files that need to be addressed. I would suggest closing all of your open apps and then backing your iPad up to iCloud. Then review the articles below to move or delete any big files on your device. These can include Voice Memos (iPhone), music, photos on your camera roll, photos or videos that are attached to your Messages, email attachments, etc.

If you need to sync from iTunes, check your settings in the Summary tab to be sure you are only syncing items you have placed a checkmark in front of.

Give this a try on one of your iPads, and hopefully these steps will work for your other devices as well.

How do you transfer anger birds apps to and ipod touch

I have a free APP and a paid APP on my computer which is on ITUNES and I want to transfer that and put it on to my IPOD. So how do you transfer it from ITUNES to my IPOD TOUCH?.

Connect your Device to Computer. Select your iPod Touch under "Devices" on iTunes left Pane. On the right Pane, select APPS tab. Make sure SYNC APP box is checked, scroll through the list of Apps and check the box for Angry bird , then click the SYNC button on the lower right Window.

HP C4780 won't print even though it's wireless connected to my laptop and home network.

Help! I just moved and am trying to set up my Photosmart C4780 to my AT&T 2Wire router (my last router was Netgear and I had no problems with installation/setup). I installed the printer and it seems to be connected to my laptop (OS is Windows 7 32-bit)and network but it just won't print (excel, word, internet page, etc.). I've run the network configuration scan, wireless network report, print diagnostic, and hardware diagnostic. Everything checks out but the test page print will not print. When I try to print some from Word, it gives me a pop up error box saying "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup." I don't know what else to try!
Thanks in advance!

How to use Apply Pay with debit card and "NO" Touch ID?

I set up Apple Pay with my bank and they said it was all verified. When I go into Passbook it now says "Verification required" and to contact the bank so is it set up or not??? I called the bank and set this up and got confirmation I was set up but it only tells me to verify when I go into passbook? Or don't I have to go back into Passbook now??? When I do go in there and click on the "i" in lower right corner shows my "debit" card device account number so should be all set, right??? If so, now how do I use it for sure...I don't have Touch ID set up because I use my hands a lot from work and it keeps not recognizing my thumbprint so just use a passcode. If I go to a store that uses this, what is the exact process I will use with a "debit" card and no Touch ID? Thanks for any and all help!

ApplePay will only work with TouchID. It is a security feature.

Problems with iPhone 3G and iPod Touch with Car Stereos

There are three cars in our family, and every car as a stereo with built-in iPod interfaces. Car 1 has a Pioneer system, Car 2 has a Kenwood, and my car has an Alpine system. I can't hear any audio when I connect an iPod touch or iPhone 3G to the Kenwood and Pioneer systems. They can perform functions on the iPhone/iPod touch, such as change songs, randomize songs, repeat songs, etc, however, there is no audio. 80% of the time the Alpine does the same thing; 10% of the time an error is displayed on the head unit; and 10% the iPod Touch/iPhone works perfectly.
All three systems can operate my iPod Nano correctly without any problems at all. Because the same problem occurs to all the stereos and because the iPod Touch and iPhone are basically the same minus phone capabilities, I am beginning to believe that the problem is with them and not the stereo systems. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how can I fix it if it is fixable?

Which Touch (first or second generation) and which iPhone (2G or 3G)?
And what generation Nano are you testing with.
Your auto systems may not be compatible with the newer generation model iPods/Phones.

Hi Royjmill,
Please connect your printer and your laptop/iPad to the same wireless router first. After that, you can print wirelessly. Thank you.

Trying to create a wireless connection with an Imac and ibook

I was connected to the internet using a DSL cable modem, and ethernet. My main computer is a iMAC G5 (bought last year) using Snow Leopard as the operating system.
I recently acquired an old iBook (2004) running on Panther.
It was connected to the internet using a dual type ethernet/wireless modem from Sympatico.
It used the built-in airport to link to the internet.
I bought this week a new Airport Express 802.11n Wi-Fi device.
I sucessfully hooked up my iMAC to a new wireless network I created, but was unable to connect
the old ibook. Did anybody else have this problem?
Is there a solution?

Also see Kernel_Modules so the module is loaded automatically at boot.
Seriously? I spent that many hours searching for my several error messages, trying to solve them, not wanting to ask for help without putting too much of my own effort into it and when I finally decide to ask for help it is when I didn't get a super essential thing like makepkg doesn't install and is merely to create .pkg.tar.xz?? Oh gosh... (;
Well, thank you! I guess I'll take my next change to use Google to find out how to use makepkg without --asroot. Yes, wl is loaded now and it's set as the kernel driver in use!
Unfortunately, after ip link set wlp2s0 up and typing dmesg | grep wl I get:

How to do wireless printing with aiport extreme and HP c4280

I admit it... I'm a dunce. I usually just plug the usb for the hp c4280 printer right into my macbook pro, but I want to finally be able to use it wirelessly. I have an airport extreme, and i know there is a usb port... how do I add the printer so i can print wirelessly?
obviously i can't just plug it in and print (right? becuase i tried and no go on the printing).
someone please take pity on me!
thanks!

Download the install Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2
Run the program. Hopefully, your printer will be recognized.
If it is, "install" the printer and try to print.
Keep in mind that if you have an All-in-One type of device, that only the print function will be supported.
Advanced features like copy, scan, maintenance, etc are not supported. You will need to connect the All-in-One directly to your PC if you need those services.

How to configure modem connection with GW (H323) and ATA 187

Hello Community,
i stock in configuration and need assistance.
My callflow: Telco – PRI – GW – H323– CUCM – SIP – ATA187 – Modem
Voicegateway (Version 15.3(2)T) + CUCM (Version= 8.6) + ATA187 (Version= 9.2.3.1)
The modem connection is still not working.
What is still to configure on the voicegateway? modem passthrough?
Regards Michael

It is possible T38 isn't playing well with the PRI. You could try modem pass-through on the gateway and ATA187 if T38 isn't necessary.
Also, sometimes these commands are needed, but not always, so I would consider whether these fax commands under the dial-peer are necessary:
fax-relay ecm disable
fax-relay sg3-to-g3
fax nsf 000000

Does anyone know how to permanently delete emails with attachments on the ipod touch?

Hey guys, a few months ago I sent an email from my cell to my ipodtouch(I have the newest model) to a friend(she has a older model) does anyone know if you delete the email by clicking on trash then will it be non recoverable? Thanks

You will need to empty also trash to be sure. The email and the attachment will not be on iPod but may be a copy will still be on a server of your provider according to the system he uses (IMAP or POP3) and according to the preferences you have set on the mail programs (leave message on the server... delete it after a date or after deleting it from inbox or... there are many possibility).
If the mail message is still on a server teoretically you can download it again from the iPod or even another computer.. of course knowing your account settings and password.
What is not clear in your message: you mention 3 devices: sent thge mail from your cell (1) to your iPod (2) and/or to your friend (3).
Added later: you will also need to check the SentMessage Folder because a copy of the mail could also be there if you sett to keep a copy there.

Error with iTunes Account and iPod Touch

A few weeks ago, I tried to download an app, and after typing in my password, nothing happened, so i returned to the App Store, and downloaded it again. Suddenly, every app I had ever downloaded on my iPod appeared on the iPod's screen, and began to install one by one. After a day of waiting for it to finish, I deleted them all. Then, a window popped up asking me for my password, which I clicked "cancel" to. Then, it downloaded every app again. After a few days, it would download three or so apps at a time, and sometimes would reload (meaning, it took an app I already had installed, and downloaded it again, removing the original icon). Now, it will only sometimes reload an app. However, the window asking for my password constantly pops up, and no matter how many times I enter my password or click cancel, it won't stop happening. (These pop ups occur about 10-15 minutes apart). I've tried restoring the ipod and logging out of the account, but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?

Computer's can connect to wireless but I can't connect with e-book and i-pod

I have a wrt54g I can connect with 3 laptops and 1 desktop but my ebook and ipod connects once and a blue moon please help

Whats the Wireless settings you have setup on your Router (SSID, Channel, Security Mode)? Are you getting any error message when you are trying to connect to your wireless network?
If you have setup WEP security on your Router, when you are trying to connect to your wireless network input the "$" sign before the WEP key and then click on connect and then check if you are able to go online or not.

Internet problems on my macbook pro and ipod touch with camera.

Hi,
For the last week or so I have been experiencing internet problems with my macbook and iPod touch with camera. I'll be online and clicking different news articles and suddenly the address bar will start to open a link but will not complete it. So what I do is go up to the signal bar and click turn off airport then turn it back on and that will temporarily solve the problem. Same solution on my iPod, I turn off the wifi and turn it back on. It is very frustrating for both devices. I will include as much info as possible. I have a NetGear RangeMax wireless router model WPN824v3. I was wondering if changing the wireless settings on that would solve my problem. I have the channel on 9. Mode on b and g. Security option on WPA-PSK [TKIP] with password. I would be happy for any help with this issue. Also I hope I'm following correct posting protocol. I haven't been on this forum in a while.

Sig,
Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people
