How to set up USB Wifi on OS X Lion?

Hey there guys.
I recently bought the
GMYLE (TM) Micro Mini USB Wireless B/N/G 802.11n RTL8192CU WiFi LAN Adapter
for my 2006 Mac Pro which I recently got for free ()
And I was wondering how I set it up.
First of all, I'm not quite sure which Configure IPv4 setting I should use, and I also am wondering what to put in for the IP adress considering I don't have on for this Mac yet.
Thanks a bunch!

I seem to have the same problem on my iMac in 10.7 Lion. I used Migration Assistant, but actually I only wanted to move the files from my old macbook, not create a new user. And now I can't delete the user that was created.
I've tried what Michael is suggesting, but in any of the two users, in Users & Grous, the option of deleting a User by pressing the ' - ' is not possible even after unlocking.
Can you help wit this?

How to set up USB Audio

I bought this two days ago: http://kuroutoshikou.com/products/select/multifset.html
It is a USB audio input/output device.
The package says OS 10 compliant but there are nothing looking like mac drivers on the CD. I plug it into the ibook and all lights up, seems to work and there are some sporadic crackling noises I can input and play through the speakers but I can't seem to figure out how to set it up right. Since I can't speak Japanese, emailing the manufacturer isn't getting me far.
Are there any generic USB audio control drivers I can download?
Cheers
iBook Mac OS X (10.4.3)

If it's a 'class compliant' audio device, it doesn't need any additional drivers to work in OS X.
Open the 'Audio MIDI Setup' program, and set the appropriate speeds, etc, and whether you want this device to be the default audio device. It should just work.

Internet sharing via dongle, how to set password for wifi network created?

I am using a USB dongle with my Mac book Pro to share internet through AirPort, so that i can access my mac book's wifi from my iphone. This works great, but it is an open network and I woud like to set up a password.
If anyone can point me in the direction I would be very grateful!
Thanks

If you are using OS X's Internet Sharing feature, then you can configure wireless security on your Mac's internal AirPort Card but are limited by the OS X version that you are using. It was not until Mountain Lion that Apple provided WPA2 security. Prior to this only WEP was available.
You configure Internet Sharing via System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing. (I don't have 10.6.x on any of my Macs so this may be different for your case.) Once you configure what is shared, you can then add wireless encryption.

How to set up guest wifi network on 1200 series APs with disclaimer web portal?

I've been thinking about this one for awhile. I want to set up a guest wifi network without any security (AES / TKIP) that allows guests to connect. Ideally, their web browser would be redirected to a web portal containing legal disclaimers, and they would need to accept the terms and conditions to use the guest wifi. I would also like to have them be required to visit the web portal again every 8 hours after that to accept the terms and conditions again.
I have a Cisco 1240AG access point already. What else do I need to make this work?

I don't believe you can do this just with an AP running in autonomous mode you would need to have a WLC to configure the splash page.
Have a look here:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/7-0/configuration/guide/c70/c70users.html#wp1049273
Alternatively you can use software running on a PC/Server. Something like http://www.antamedia.com/hotspot/
Hope that helps!

How to set folder icon image in OS X Lion?

I set my folder's icon image in OS X Leopard before, but I don't know how to do that in Lion. In Leopard you simply copy the icon image from an Info window of a file, and paste that into the folder's icon image in the top left corner of its Info window. In Lion I don't see the icon of the file in its Info window as a preview, but rather I see only a generic JPG file icon. Any ideas?

Can you explain why there was no thumbnail for that file?
The OS does not create or add thumbnails, previews, nor custom icons to images or other files. Although it displays files with what appears to be a custom icon, it is not part of the file itself; it is created on the fly, just for display. Since it is not part of the file, it does not appear in the Get Info window.
Back in OS 9 days when you downloaded an image file from the web, either via drag and drop or via the download mechanism, the image file would typically be placed on the drive as a QuickTime image with both a custom icon and a preview image added to it.
I skipped earlier versions of OS X, and started with Snow Leopard, so don't know about earlier versions of OS X. Apparently the auto creation and addition of a custom icon and preview have been dropped in later versions in favor of using Preview to generate a temporary (for display only) custom icon on the fly. One result of this is that image file sizes are kept reasonably small - adding a suite of custom icons and a preview image to the file itself increases the file size a lot; it's not unusual for those additions to double the file size, or more.

How to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on Mac OS X Mountain Lion?

Hi all,
I've been struggling to find a proper way to set up DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variable on Mountain Lion.
I have to use Perl Modules for work purposes but eveytime I try to install some CPAN Module (DBD::Oracle to be exact),perl complains that it can't find the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and can't continiue with the installation.
Exact error is:
Trying to find an ORACLE_HOME
Your DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH env var is set to ''
      The ORACLE_HOME environment variable is not set and I couldn't guess it.
      It must be set to hold the path to an Oracle installation directory
      on this machine (or a machine with a compatible architecture).
      See the appropriate README file for your OS for more information.
      ABORTED!
I have downloaded the Oracle Instant Client files for Basic,SQLPLUS and SDK but I don't know how to use these?
When I try the commands:
export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"
and use my directory path of where the instanclient binaries are located for the part "$HOME/.rbenv/bin" and use "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" for '$PATH' but it doesn't helped me at all.
Still the same errors.What should I download in order to set ORACLE_HOME (DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH) and which files I should point the environemt variable to?
Anyone please help me?
Thank a lot

I simply type in "perl [scriptname.pl]".How is this relevant?I'm not able to install modules.
I've tried both the direct download/make/install way and doing it from the package as described in CPAN manuals.
For the direct download way,I simply type in "cpanm DBD::Oracle" for example.It downloads the package,makes and tries to install but fails during the install process.
Second method is downloading the module package from cpansearch.pearl.org and then pointing the terminal to package path,executing "perl Makefile.PL" and then "make install".
Both methods fails with the same DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH error.

How to set windows at a certain size in Lion ?

Hi Guys
this is something i have been having an uphill struggle trying to get right - to say the least !!..
in Snow Leopard one could only ''resize'' a window by pulling on it's corners ( NOT a limitation in my book.. ) but when you closed the window & later opened it again, it remained the size it was when you last closed it
now with Lion one can ''resize'' the windows by pulling anywhere ( just like Windows - HURRAY !?.. ) BUT when you close it & open it again later, Lion resizes it forcing me to - AGAIN.. - size it back to my preferences/needs and to me THAT my friends IS a SERIOUS limitation to my efficiency
on my 27'' iMac i like my windows to be roughly 8'' tall X 10'' wide, that combined with my file & folder's size gives me a nice working space, showing most of that window's content WITHOUT scrolling, etc.... MOST IS clearly displayed to see, what could be easier than that ?
the PROBLEM is that this happens 10, 15 or even 20 times a day, WASTING my time & effort in the process - for NOTHING !!
& that's what drives me nuts : constantly resizing windows ? in my neck of the woods there ARE better things to do.....you know what i mean ? this IS MOST frustrating given the pointlessness of the effort wasted
what can i say ? i'm a lazy bugger who doesn't enjoy repeating the same task OVER & OVER again - anyone has a suggestion on how to avoid this ?
i'd truly appreciate a solution for this
many thanks

Hello Pankaj
You will find a solution for your problem in sample report <b>BCALV_EDIT_03</b>. If you do the error handling in the event handler method for DATA_CHANGED then the cursor will point to the field containing the faulty value.
Here is part of the report's header documentation:
program bcalv_edit_03.
* Purpose:
* ~~~~~~~~
* In this example the user may change values of fields
* SEATSOCC (occupied seats) and/or PLANETYPE. The report checks
* the input value(s) semantically and provides protocol
* messages in case of error.
* To check program behavior
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Change values of the column "occupied seats" or "Planetype" or
* both (in the same line). Try to provocate errors.
* Click on the check symbol or press return to initiate checking.
* (ALV also checks input before any functions like sorting,
* filtering or doubleclick are processed. These functions are
* only active if the input does not contain any errors).
* The ALV Grid Control first checks if the input is correct
* according to DDIC-Information (Type, lenght). Then semantic
* checks are made by the application using event handler method
* HANDLE_DATA_CHANGED.

Experience with USB Wifi dongle?

Anyone have any experience setting up USB Wifi dongles? I need to get one, and I'm not sure which one to use. I've seen the pages that list compatible models, but every one that I Google comes up with forums posts about something going horribly wrong with them. What do you use, or know that others use?
Thanks.

I really don't know how to use git......
So any help Appreciated.
I built this driver yesterday, and it works great!! I have the NetGear WN111v2 as well, and suddenly realized how incrediblt slow my connections were.
So I tried building it, and (for me at least) the carl9170 driver rocks.
What I did: Download the compat-wireless tarball from here: http://wireless.kernel.org/download/com … eless-2.6/ and choose the newest one.
Untar it somewhere, like ~/build/ or something. Then, from a terminal, cd to the directory you untar'ed, and type
./scripts/driver-select carl9170
as a normal user.
Then
make
and
sudo make install
should install it just fine remember to have kernel26-headers and linux-api-headers installed first!
Now you only need to get the firmware from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ … l9170-1.fw and put it in /lib/firmware/
And to be on the safe side, add !arusb_lnx and !ar9170usb to your MODULES() in rc.conf, so the drivers don't conflict. Good luck!

How can I create a wifi network

How do I use a USB WiFi dongle with a MacBook?

I recently acquired a USB wifi dongle and downloaded the appropriate driver. When plugged into my MacBook it will connect to my Graphite Airport base station. I can even use Airport Admin Utility to change setting in the Graphite ABS with this USB dongle.
The driver software also included a 'client utility' which I use to get the dongle to function with the MacBook. It also required adding the dongle to the list of network [ports via the Network Preferences in OS X.
But I do not know how to use it to access the internet through the ABS. My ABS has a 56kbps dialup modem in it which I use with the MacBook's internal WiFi card as my way of accessing the internet normally. I would like to know how to use this new USB wifi dongle to do the same thing though.
TIA

If you noticed on my jpg of my settings the very top left window shows that the MacBook thinks the dongle is indeed connected to the internet. In actuality the dongle is only connected to the Graphite ABS.
My thinking is that the Graphite ABS (Apples first ABS) is simply set up to listen to Apple's own Airport card when it comes to the ABS' internal 56k modem. Maybe someone can tell me from experience that a Graphite will listen to a USB wifi dongle?
A bit of my personal philosophy... Apple stuff generally 'just works'. It does not require a lot of windoze-like 'jumping thru hoops' to make it work. So when it does not 'just work' I tend to think that it is because it can't.
Didn't try turning off the firewall, but if it requires that I would not want to use it anyway.
Yes, the ABS does distribute IPs, or at least something does because they are different from one time to the next.
Access Control is on, but again, I require that so it would have to work that way for me or it would have no value to me.
Again I will say, I certainly appreciate your help BDAqua. But I am starting to think we may be trying to do something that cannot be done unless you know otherwise?
Again, I would like to ask, is there is anyone using a Graphite ABS with any USB wifi card/dongle?

How to set up TimeCapsule (4th) to create own private (wired) network behind Airport Express (5th) that is set up to join existing wifi-network of fritz adsl modem/router?

I work in an office building with free Wifi to connect to the Internet. I want to be able to use this internetconnection, but at the same time I want to shield of my own wired network.
I've made the following configuration:
- fritz adsl modem / router
- Airport Extreme (5th gen) set up to join existing wireless network (green light, works)
- Lan-cable from lan-port AE to wan-port TC (4th gen)
- Lan-cable from TC to Mac
- Lan-cable from TC to Printer
When I set my TC (network-settings) in bridge-mode everything works fine, but my Mac and Printer get an IP-address from the fritz modem / router and are visible to others.
I tried to set TC in NAT/DHCP-mode, but then I get the error message that I should set a static IP-adress for TC. When I set TC in DHCP-mode, it looses connection to the AE. I'm not sure what to do now. Does anyone know how to set up my TC and create my own private network and still be able to get on the internet?

Hajenius wrote:
Is there a better alternative? I'd rather not want to reset my TC every day.
You are using free internet.. so there is a price to pay.. that is convenience and non-ideal network setup.
The better alternative is to pay for your own connection. Then you are completely free of the possibility of others in the bullding seeing your connection. (as long as you secure the wireless).
But I think you are probably over worrying about public wifi.. if it is setup right.. ask the building admins.. it should be setup so each user cannot see another users connection. This is typical for most wifi setup and simply means you can see internet connection but nobody else on the connection. ie other wireless users.
Having a router with NAT makes it then more secure again and allows clients on your own network to interact with each other. But you can setup wireless to the free wifi for every client.. (depending on how many IP you are allowed).. and run a secondary network without internet access. This is easy for desktop etc where you have a wireless and a wired connection but less convenient for mobile devices.. unless you use a cloud connection and each client can link and share via that.
Have I made the explanation worse??
Think of it this way.. if you had 3 laptops.. all 3 could connect to the internet from the building wifi.. but they cannot talk to each other or share resources in local office. You can put resources out in the cloud, that can be shared.. but that adds traffic and most free services are not fast.
Now you can also plug all three into Time Capsule by ethernet.. and share local resources. Files, printers backup etc. This network is not connected to the internet at all. Each laptop has internet via free wifi and local connection.
For devices like iphones that have no ethernet or other method.. you could use local wireless and public wireless.. but in turns.. still the only advantage is less issues with double NAT.. if that causes problems.. then this is an alternative.

New to Apple - Need help. Here is the breakdown. I just got my wife a iPhone 4s and I'm trying to decide how to set it up. Should she get her own Apple ID or use mine? This for some reason is very confusing to me.

Here is the breakdown. I just bought my wife a new iPhone 4s and I'm trying to decide how to set it up for her. Should she have her own Apple ID or use mine? If she uses my Apple ID, will that cause issues with iMessage - say when I'm chatting with someone else and vice a versa. Will our messages show up on each others devices? How will a FaceTime call work? Will the video call come across both our devices (ipad also)?
Just some information that might be of note:
I have the new iPhone 4s, iPad2 and one iTunes account - the iTunes account is my Apple ID which I use also for the iCloud (I think...it's getting murky
What am I trying to achieve is having the ability for me (iphone, ipad) and my wife (iphone) to be able to share and sync just music, apps, movies, etc... I have Google Calender and I have not made up my mind yet if we will share a contacts list (I have large business list). Also this might be of note, I most likely will be using iTunes on my LG LCD TV (appleTV) at some point in the near future.
So, basically I'm confused, which is not unusual for me. If I'm thinking to much inside the box, please let me know and feel free to offer up any suggestions. Even if the suggestion is I'm not asking the right questions. Of course if that is your suggestion, then please tell me the question. And an answer would be nice to.
Thanks.

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

I bought my wife an iPad, iTV and iPhone and everything works great. But now I'm getting an iPhone and I'm not sure how to set it up. So far all our iTunes purchases have been under her account. So how do we share everything, but have different accounts?

Things have just kind of escalated. We started with the ipad and she really liked it. Then we were given an itv and it worked so nicely with the ipad, that we decided to get her an iphone. We've been buying music, tv shows, movies, taking photos, looking at them on the tv using photostream. But now I'm getting an iphone and plan to by a macbook or mac mini some time soon, and I'm wondering how I can setup my own account but still have all this really nice seamless sharing across devices. If I buy an album on my phone, I'd like to be able to play it on the itv (which is setup with my wifes account). And so forth.
I hope I've explained my concern and someone can point out how to set things up so that things remain as seamless and easy as they are now.
Thanks.
