I am trying to setup time limits in airport 5.6

I am trying to setup time limits for internet usage in airport 5.6—
but i don't get a timed access control "option. Tried on both imac and macbook pro.

What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

  • How do i setup time limits and restrictions on my airport extreme?

    I am trying to restrict internet usage for my kids and just anyone who wants to use my mac without permission, how do I do this?

    You can use the Timed Access feature for this type of application.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Access Control tab just below the row of icons
    For MAC Access Control, select Timed Access
    The "default" rule is set for unlimited access, which means that any computer with the correct password can connect to the wireless network at any time.
    You will need to change the default rule to "No Access" and then click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the list to add the AirPort ID or MAC address of each device that you want to allow to connect to the network along with the daily time limits for that respective device.
    So, if you have 5 devices that you want to allow to connect, you will have 5 separate rules, one for each device.
    For example, Junior's iPod with AirPort ID of xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx would be allowed to connect daily from 8 AM to 11 PM.
    For more detailed instructions, click Help at the top of the screen and enter the following phrase into the search box:

  • I'm trying to install Time Machine and Airport Update V 1.0 but installer

    keeps returning error message: You cannot install Time Machine and AirPort Updates on this volume. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.2 or newer.
    I am in fact running 10.5.6. Would the fact that this update was dated in March of 2008 have anything to do with it? I think it's the latest update for TM and Airport.
    Any suggestions?

    Kappy, how'd you get so smart. On further investigation I discovered that I had already downloaded and installed that update. I will follow your advice in the future, not risking showing off as a fool.

  • Trying to setup Time Capsule, how do i fix status that says "double NAT", preventing wifi from working?

    In setting up Time Capsule, it won't connect to wifi.  In the status pop up of the Time Capsule under the Airport Utility it says "Double NAT".  I dont' know how to fix that.
    Thanks.

    This is one goofy modem that acts as if it is a router, so that is why the Double NAT issue is appearing.
    There are two ways to tackle this:
    1)  If everything seems to be working OK, you have the option to click to "Ignore" the Double NAT error in AirPort Utility and the Status light will turn green.
    Double NAT is usually not too serious of an error on a simple home network, but it will be a deal killer if you have an online gaming console and want to play games interactively on the Internet.
    Your connection will slow slightly because of the multiple NAT firewall layers the signal must pass through, but you will likely not notice this in normal browsing, email, etc.
    2)  Reconfigure the modem to act in "bridge mode" only and then change the method that the Time Capsule uses to connecf from Ethernet to PPPoE service.  There will be no NAT errors this way and this is what AT&T recommends....see link below.....but we are talking about some major surgery here.

  • How do I Setup USB HDD on Airport EXTREME TIME CAPSULE? USB HDD Not showing up

    How can I get the HDD to work with my airport extreme?  Does it need formatted a specific way for mac?  Are there certain hdd types that work best with the I have a WD usb hard drive which doesn't show up when connected to airport extreme.  I'm trying to setup time capsule, but Having no luck.  I'm new to the Imac. 
    Message was edited by: clower80

    A couple of pointers.
    The hard drive must be specifically formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to work with the AirPort Extreme's USB port. Check the documentation that came with the drive to find out how it is formatted at the present time.....it is likely formatted to work with Windows, which is not compatible with the AirPort Extreme.
    Unfortunately, even if the drive is formatted correctly, Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, so that will be the next hurdle to deal with.
    Some users actually do seem to be able to make this work, but overall, it is not a reliable method to backup your data if it is important to you.

  • HT1175 I am trying to setup my Time capsule via a ethernet cable as a back up for a new iMac. The on button on the time capsule set up window keeps failing to stay on. Any ideas what to do?

    I am trying to setup my Time capsule via a ethernet cable as a back up for a new iMac. The on button on the time capsule set up window keeps failing to stay on. Any ideas what to do?

    A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
    But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
    If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
    Important thing is to get access to the TC.
    The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

  • While trying to setup a time capsule backup to my MyBookLive external drive, I got the following error message: The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features. What's up with this?

    While trying to setup a time capsule backup to my MyBookLive external drive, I got the following error message: The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features. What's up with this?

    This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).

  • I'm trying to setup a printer go wireless through my airport extreme, but every time I try to print the printing file gets paused. I'm in loop. PLEASE HELP! (The printer is a Brother 7020  monochrome)

    I had the exact same problem
    It turns out I was using a 20 foot USB cable between the printer and the Airport Extreme and the signal had become to weak to work. Try using nothing more than a 6 foot cable or try a new cable

  • Trying to set up time capsule with airport exteme. Apple advises to use manuel setup and click on Advanced.  Then enter mobileme ID. I did this but Time Machine doesn't display anything on the capsule window.

    Can't set up my time capsule on Airport Extreme (updated).  Apple instructions are to use manual set up.  Click on Advanced tab.  Click on Mobileme and enter Mobileme ID and password.  I did this.  But Time Machine window is blank.  Tryed to click on update window after entering Mobileme ID but Airport does not respond (turn of then on)

    I have been experiencing some networking problems
    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    I have the latest Time Capsule ("TC"), an old Airport Extreme Base Station ("AEBS") bought in 2007 and 2 Airport Expresses, one bought in 3 months ago ("AE-Alpha") and the other bought back in 2007 ("AE-Beta"). All of them have been updated with the latest firmware.
    Based on those dates, the AirPort Extreme is probably flat (as opposed to dome-shaped), making it 802.11n-capable. The Newer AirPort Express is probably an 802.11n-capable model A1264, while the older one is probably a model A1084 or A1088.
    I use {the TC's} DHCP function ... to avoid unauthorized use.
    This a discussion for another thread, but that's not what DHCP is for.
    The wireless setting for it is to participate as WDS Main, but after reading various posts, it seems WDS is a bad idea
    With that older AirPort Express you're stuck with WDS unless you decide to replace it with a newer model.
    The AEBS is currently setup as being a WDS Relay at the moment
    Why a relay? That's only needed if there's another base station "beyond" it that is configured to depend on it.
    Since the AEBS is connected to the TC via Ethernet, you should probably configure it as a "roaming network":
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2273124
    {The AE-Alpha} connects fine as WDS remote at the moment
    I don't have any experience with mixed WDS and non-WDS networks, but since it's 802.11n-capable, you may be able to configure it to "extend" the network of the TC rather than as WDS. Look for a setting on the TC to "Allow this network to be extended".
    Physical location:
    AEBS in one end, TC and AE-Alpha in the middle while AE-Beta on the other end.
    A device such as "AE-Beta" that's supposed to extend a network shouldn't be "at the end" but should be half way between the central base station and the clients that need an extended network.

  • Trying to setup airport for 1st time and it will not connect to internet, we also did not create a new network and cannot find this option again

    Trying to setup airport for 1st time and it will not connect to internet?

    You might try doing a reset of your AirPort unit.  Use a pen or paper clip to press in on the recessed reset button while you plug it in, then continue to keep the button pressed until the status light flashes several times,
    For more advice, please describe all your networking gear.

  • Trying to setup my new ATV and it won't set date and time, and won't allow me to log in with my apple ID.

    Trying to setup my new ATV and it won't set date and time, and won't allow me to log in with my apple ID to homeshare OR to test te network, which I know is correct since I changed it. I live in an apartment complex and the router is in my roommates room. ANY suggestions? I'm at the point where I may return this because it has been nothing but a hassle. I'm very annoyed and just want the product that I paid for to actually work.
    The ABOUT section says Network Time: Skipped (reachable) and Activation: Failed (skipped)
    I'm also using my MacBook Pro as the homesharing with iTunes up to date.

    I had a similar issue wuth my new Apple TV.  If you (or your roommate) are able to change the router firewall settings, do that first.  I don't know the ports that you need, except that 123 is one of them (to set the time).  Then restart the Apple TV.  See if that will get you through the activation process.  I actually ended up restoring mine to factory settings, but I'm not sure if that step was really necessary.
    I understand your frustration, though.  Getting the Apple TV to work was such a pain -- it almost feels like it is not really an Apple product.

  • I am trying to setup VPN with QuickVPN

    Hi I am trying to setup VPN with WRVS4400N and Quick VPN on client side. I am fairly new to VPN and did some research and looked through the manual but can't seem to get it to work so far and from what I noticed many people are having this problem. So hopefully someone can tell what the problem is or at least point to right direction on solving this.
    Basically it gives the "Failed to establish connection" generic error, shows it almost instantly..
    It also showed the certificate error before but then I read about putting it in the installation directory and it stopped showing it, and whats strange is later I removed it but it doesnt show the error any longer, so don't know if its caching it somewhere or what can be going on...
    In effort to look for answer and test things out I tried to connect to another location and setup a WRV200 router, I also get the same error but not instantly, it even shows "Activating Policy" but then doesn't go farther and shows the generic error...
    Also with this setup strangly it always shows the certificate error, no matter if I put one in directory or not... Even tried to name it as the WRVS4400N certificate name...
    Anyway VPN IPSec is disabled, and Client Accounts are configured and changed password several times to make sure its correct, VPN Passthrough enabled on all 3 options.
    I tried to disable Windows Router, I also have a router in place do I possibly need to open some type of ports for the QuickVPN client?
    Don't know yet whats going on if I am missing something or if there is some problem that needs work-around but if you know the answer or guesses of answer please let me know.

    since this question is about a product in the Cisco Small Business / Linksys range, I suggest you move it to the community, where you will have a better chance of getting expert advice.

  • Issues when trying to setup alternate sync location of OneDrive for Business / SharePoint 2013 Libraries

    Hello,
    I have an issue that prevents me from choosing the alternate location of sync'ed OneDrive for Business folders. I'm trying to setup an alternate location for synchronization, using the guidelines found in the Office support web site.
    The option to replace the default sync location appears the first time a SharePoint 2013 Library or OneDrive for Business is setup for synchronization.
    Here would be a link to a snapshot (since my account has not been verified): /Forums/getfile/443247
    At this point, the Library or personal OneDrive folder syncs correctly and the files are stored in the alternate choosen location.
    However, on when trying to setup an additionnal Library for synchronization, the alternate sync location has not been saved and reverts to the default sync location. Furthermore, the option to replace the default sync location does no longer appear
    on the dialog box.
    Here would be a link to a snapshot (since my account has not been verified): /Forums/getfile/443249
    I have tried by first sync'ing a SharePoint 2013 Library (instead of the personal OneDrive for Business folder) with the same result. Meaning that the first SharePoint 2013 Library correctly sync's in the alternate location of my choosing. However,
    any subsequent attempts to sync either a SharePoint 2013 Library or the OneDrive for Business folder results in them being sync'ed to the original default location in a folder under the user's profile directory.
    I'm using Office Professional Plus 2013 (64bits). The version of Groove.exe is 15.0.4605.1000 (12th March 2014 - 13 383 360 bytes).
    Is there something I'm missing ?
    Thanks for any help on this issue.

    Hi SpringComp,
    You can change the root path for libraries you sync to your computer, though you can do this only if you’re not currently syncing any libraries. If you’re already syncing at least one library and you want to change the path, you must first
    stop syncing all libraries. Then, the first time you run the OneDrive for Business wizard to sync a library to your computer, you’ll see an option to change the location.
    More information, please refer to the link:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/support/change-the-location-where-you-sync-sharepoint-libraries-on-your-computer-HA102893480.aspx
    I hope this helps.

  • I am trying to setup a wifi network in my house.....

    I am trying to setup a wi fi around my house.  I used TC as the base and then connect airport express in a different part of the house.  I am now trying to connect and airport extreme, but it does not pop up on the computer, so I cannot link it.  Any suggestions?

    We cannot really offer any specific advice until we understand more about the devices and computer(s) that you are using on the network.
    I am now trying to connect and airport extreme
    Are you trying to connect this device to the Time Capsule using wireless only....or.....using an Ethernet cable?
    What is the model number of the AirPort Extreme?  Check on the bottom of the device if you are not sure.
