HT4262 can I prohibit a specific device (like my teenager's iphone) from accessing the AirPort's network?

I would like to be able to delete my teenager's access from our home wifi.  He's spending way too much time online chatting to friends to the exclusion of anything having to do with school.  HELP!

I concur, this is not a technical issue - it's a parenting one (& I sympathise - I have 4 teanagers)
Personally I'd take the phone off him, but then that's me....
Regards,
Shawn

  • HT1553 I want to do a clean install of Mountain Lion. Can I do this without a DVD version of the OS, and can I restore only specific things like iPhoto and iTunes libraries from Time Machine backup.

    I want to do a clean install of Mountain Lion. Can I do this without a DVD version of the OS, and can I restore only specific things like iPhoto and iTunes libraries from Time Machine backup.

    Mountain Lion is only available as a download, so there is no DVD to purchase. What you can do is download ML and then stop it from installing as soon as it's on your drive. From there you can make your own bootable ML flash drive.
    When your purchase and download Mountain Lion, it will end up in the Applications folder and automatically want to install. Press Command+Q to stop the install and exit. The installer will remain on the hard drive.
    1) Right click on the installer and choose "Show Package Contents".
    2) A folder will open on the desktop. Drill down to Contents > SharedSupport and double click the disk image InstallESD.dmg to mount it on the desktop.
    3) From here you can either burn a DVD, or copy the contents to a flash drive. Personally, I would strongly suggest using an 8 GB flash drive formatted as Mac OS Extended. You will be able to boot to it in about 30 seconds instead of at least 10 minutes off of a DVD, and it will install MUCH faster. Make sure the flash drive is empty, or you've copied anything off it it you need as it will need to be erased.
    4) Don't just drag and drop the contents you see in the open disk image to the flash drive. It won't boot that way as it will be missing some hidden files. Open Disk Utility. You will something similar to this:
    5) To accomplish the above, highlight either the flash drive's single partition (as I did), or the item at the bottom (Mac OS X Install ESD), which is what you will see with the Lion disk image mounted. It doesn't matter which one you pick. You'll then have the option to select the Restore tab towards the upper right. Drag and drop from the left column into the Source and Destination fields as shown above. If you've already erased the flash drive, you can uncheck the box. Click the Restore button.
    You've just made your own bootable Mountain Lion USB Flash drive installer. Once you boot to the flash drive, run Disk Utility first to erase the drive you want Mountain Lion on, then continue with the install.
    As far as restoring your iPhone and iTunes libraries, I couldn't tell you. So I wouldn't do any of the above until someone else chimes in with a way to do that after a clean install of ML.

  • Can I use my iPhone to access the Internet with my laptop

    I would like to use my iPhone to access the Internet from my laptop.  Is a connection between my iPhone and my laptop (using Vista OS) possible?

  • I made a photo book in iPhoto and would like to transfer the book to my iPhoto on other macs and iPad.   How is this done and can it be synced between devices like photo stream.

    I made a photo book in iPhoto and would like to transfer the book to my iPhoto on other macs and iPad.   How is this done and can it be synced between devices like photo stream?

    You can create a Quicktime movie slideshow of the book's pages and share that. Here's how to get your book into an iPhoto slideshow and then export as a Quicktime video:
    1 - While viewing the book type Command+P to start the print process.
    2  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    Note:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    3 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
    4 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. Immediately select all of the photos in the new album and sequentially renumber them as "Page  " using the Batch Change ➙ Title to Text with the option to add a sequential number to each title.  This is to let you put the pages back in the correct order in the event they get sorted incorrectly.
    Now you can proceed as follows: create the slideshow in iPhoto and export it out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large (480p with iPhoto 9),
    Happy New Year

  • HT1386 Can i sync multipler iOS devices like iPad, iPhones on the same iTunes? Can each iOS device have different contents which are subsets of the iTunes complete library

    Can i sync multipler iOS devices like iPad, iPhones on the same iTunes? Can each iOS device have different contents which are subsets of the iTunes complete library

    You can share a library with as many devices as you want but they cannot have seperate subsets like you wish. They would all have access to all information in the library. You could "Manually" sync content to each device by doing the following:
    On Mac: iTunes > Preferences > Devices Tab > Put a check in the box next to sentence that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically > Then click ok.
    On Pc: Edit > Preferences > Devices Tab > Put a check in the box next to sentence that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically > Then click ok.
    To manually sync data from iTunes to devices see article below:
     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    If you do not want all devices to have access to all the media from the main library, you would need to create a library for each device. See the article below for more info:

    Hope this helps.

  • How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?

    How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?? i have the last iOS version installed and also the last firmware version of the printer. the printer is already connected to the USB airport express and when i look for printers in airprinter there is no printer found. i have an HP LASERJET P1606dn(i think that is supported by the airprinter).

    In order to function with AirPrint, a printer must connect to the network wirelessly.
    Even if you have an AirPrint compatible printer, iOS devices will not be able to print to the printer when it is connected via USB.
    So, you have two options:
    1) Reconfigure the printer to connect to the network using wireless only and the iOS devices should be able to print that way....assuming that you have up to date drivers for the printer installed.
    2) Leave the printer connected via USB and then use a third party App like Printopia installed on your Mac as a "workaround" to (hopefully) allow the iOS to device to be able to print.  If you want to give this a try, there is a free trial for Printopia, so you will know if it will work before you buy. You must have a Mac running on the network in order for Printopia to function correctly.

  • Can't get PC with SMC to see the airport extended network

    Problem: My wireless notebooks get a weak signal next to the airport express antenna.
    Problem Description:
    We have installed the airport to extend a wireless network. It seems that it is installed properly as the airport light is green continously. All PC wireless notebooks do not seem to "see" the airport as the signal is weak. Plugging and unplugging the airport does not seem to affect the signal strength at all.
    Airport utilities detect correctly the antenna on all PC. The install wizard seem to have worked properly. However, we have no way of knowing if the weak signal is coming from the antenna's weak link to the router or the PC is just not using the extended feature of the Airport.
    What I wish Apple did for PC install:
    I would expect a separate Windows troubleshooting section that does not involve any MAC for pure PC installations.
    I also wish to find a technical description of the installation (Airport uses the same IP network or not, SSID or not) How it works basically.
    Ideally, it would be nice to have a troubleshooting procedure to see if the airport is working or not.
    The installation is missing 2 very important troubleshouting tools:
    - a utility to test the strength of the wireless signal between the airport and the router.
    - another utility to confirm that the PC is "travelling" through the airport or not (i.e. only going through the router). (I tried using "tracert" hoping that the IP of the airport antenna would appear but it did not. My first "stop" was the IP of the router.)
    Note: Unplugging the airport and putting back on is a solution but in my case it does not affect the installation at all. So I believe it is not the best way to test the installation.
    Finally, it would be nice to see Windows sample screens to confirm how the airport should appear (it appears with a red mark next to the router, has its own IP, share or not the same SSID,...)
    Also explain why most of the options of the admin utility are grayed out and inaccessible.
    Setup:
    Router: SMC Wireless router Barricade
    Antenna: Airport Express displaying the continous green light status
    PC: 2 notebooks with WIFI runnign Windows XP SP2
    Both PC detect the antenna and show the Airport's network in the wireless list. However it is not contactible
    I hope my tech report is complete enough
    Thanks
    Chris

    I wish to add purhaps some IP info.
    SMC router: 192.168.2.100
    Airport: 192.168.2.104
    PCs: DHCP
    Should the airport extended wireless have its own IP like the proposed 10.0.1.X or does it use the rotuer's default?
    Should we try to connect to the Airport network and the signal will then link to the SMC router or the Airport is transparent and we only connect to the SMC router which explains why the Airport connection has a red flag.

  • Can I stop the iPhone from surfing the internet and still use the "find my iPhone" option?

    Hi. Can I use my iPhone without causing internet-costs? I have got a prepaid-card and my iPhone uses the internet all the time - that costs a lot of money. So can I stop the iPhone from surfing the internet and still use the "find my iPhone" option?

    Find My Phone REQUIRES an internet connection in order to work. Either WiFi or Cellular Data. So, if you turn off Cellular data, you're defeating Find My Phone.

  • Can use airplay on other devices if I have my iphone docked in one

    Hi Can anyone offer any advice? I'm looking to buy several airplay enabled devices to stream itunes around the house and understand that I can only play the same song out of all devices, but can anyone tell me that if they all have docking stations within the devices can I say play itunes from a docked station and then play other tunes to the remaining devices.
    Cheers

    Sprint can unlock it so it will work with other GSM carriers (except in the US).  There is no code involved.  Sprint has to send the unlock request to Apple.
