I have wifi in my home. How do I set up my desk top to wifi?

I have wifi in my home. How do I get my mac pro to run on WIFI?

Go to System Preferences > Network, and select the WiFi network from the left side of the Network window, this is done by clicking the + sign at the bottom of the panel and highlighting the network.  If the lock at the bottom of that pane is closed, click the lock and enter the admin user name and password.  Once you have selected the WiFi network use the main panel in the Network window to ender the password for the network and any other information it requests.
Once finished, close the lock at the bottom of the left panel.

  • I have two time capsules, one for work and one for home, how do I set up the work time capsule to only back up my work files?

    I have two time capsules, one for work and one for home, how do I set up the work time capsule to only back up my work files?  Also, how do I add co-workers to my work time capsule and wife to my home time capsule?  Thank you!

    You cannot have two different TC setups.. at least until Mountain Lion.. it did introduce some changes but I am not sure if you can setup two different configurations for TM.. you can use two different devices to back up to. I doubt this will help you.
    You might be better using a real backup software.. superduper, CCC, chronosync etc.
    The TC by default is available to any Mac in the network to do backups. TM will sort itself out and put each computer on a different backup. These are kept in separate sparsebundles.. so that is all fine.

    my nephew lend me his iPad and I have wi-fi service @ home, I get the wi-fi icon on top of iPad, it's activated but when I open Safari to go online it ask me for the password which I have and type in. It tells me I have typed incorrect pw. What's wrong? I even called my internet server and they cant help! They're saying my nephew must have a block. I asked my nephew and he said "what r they talking about, I have no block"  Can anyone help ME PLZ.

    When you go to Settings > WiFi and see your network name does it have a padlock icon to the right of the network name? If so it is a secured network with a password.
    How did you connect to your network from the iPad? From Settings > Wifi? Was a network password requested? Was it accepted?
    If you touch the ">" to the right of your network name what do you see for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, and DNS?

  • Can two users of the same iMac have their own "space" and how is this set up?

    My wife and I will share the same new iMac.  Can we each have our own "space" complete with personal background preferences, tools, etc.?  How would I set this up?

    As PrDm indicated, you can indeed each have your own user account in Mac OS X. But you do not have to log out for the other person to use their own account in Mac OS X. You can use Fast User Switching:

    That makes it a lot easier to share a single computer.

  • How to connect All in One desk top with TV

    I purchased my HP Pavillion 23 A10 All in one desk top PC more than a year ago.Few days ago, some marks appeared on the screen whilst I was using my computer and look like that some one smashed the screen with a stone. I consulted with one of my friend and in his opinion, the screen was damaged due to the impact of some hard thing, though I don't agree with him as it happened when I was using the computer all of sudden.
    Can any one help me to sort out this problem?
    Also, I want to connect it with the TV to make sure that it's screen problem, but there is no VGA or any other sort of arrangement on this All in one computer. So, could you please help me how to do it as well?
    My computer is HP Pavillion 23 A10 and the model is 23-b010 ea and it's very difficult to use the controls as the problem is on the right side of the screen with horizontal lines on the whole screen.

    Hi,
    Nearly all AIO machines do not have monitor out ports. Many have HDMI in ports. My suggestion: buy an USB video card and you can connect to your TV such as the following cheap version:

    a bit more with HDMI:

  • How do remove an app from desk top?

    Hoe do I remove an app from the desk top?

    Hold your fingers down on the app icon until they all start to wiggle. You'll see a little white X in a red circle. Tap on it and the app should delete (there may be a 'are you sure?' dialogue box)
    Tap the home button when you're done.
    If the app in question is a bundled app, one that came on the iPad, it cannot be deleted.

  • My ibook dual usb gets wifi anywere else but my home how can i set it up?

    Hello, my iBook gets great wifi services anywere there available... but it does not work at home. Could somebody help??

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    Which version of the operating system is it running now? (An iBook cannot run Mac OS X 10.7.4.)
    How much RAM is installed?
    What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?)
    What kind of wireless network are you using at home? A router? If so, which brand and model number?
    Which kind of encryption are you using on your home network? Public-type networks often run with light (or no) encryption in order to allow the easiest access for users.

  • How do I set up my Xfinity Gateway modem Wifi with my Airport using same IP address?  I need step by step instructions.

    I want to use Xfinity Gateway modem WIFI with my Apple Airport, using same IP address.  Apple store says this will work. I need step by step instrucions on how to do this.
    Thank you

    I have had the AirPort for 5+ years.  Have had a Comcast modem for even longer.  My husband and I have iPads.  We can only get wifi connection within a very short range of our AirPort.  I noticed that Comcast/Xfinity was advertising their new Gateway modem with extended wireless wifi so I turned in my old modem to Comcast and picked up the new Gateway model.  After going through several issues with Comcast I tried to install my new modem and was told by Comcast that I cannot use both the Gateway modem and my Airport for WIFI, it's one or the other.  I went to the Apple store and asked the same question and was told that I can have both connected using the same IP address for both.  I am not very computer savy and need some basic, one step at a time instructions on how to add the Xfinity modem to my existing AirPort network for extending my WIFI.  I think I expained that correctly. 
    The Comcast cable is connected to my Modem and then there is another connection between the modem and the AirPort via USB cord.
    Is there somewhere on the AirPort/TimeCapsule device that tells me the exact model of my AirPort?
    Thank you for any advice you can give me.

  • TS3512 I'm having trouble authorizing iTunes on my new macbook pro due to authorization on computers I no longer have. How do I deauthorize laptops and desk tops I no longer have?

    New MacBook Pro 15" won't authorize my iTunes to sync with my other Apple devices, iPad, iMac, iPod and other MacBook Pro 17" since I have authorized other devices (5 is the limit) that I no longer own.
    How do I get passed this severe limitation? I also assume that my Apple TV won't be alowed to sync due to this limitation as well... any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Sign into your account in iTunes - from that page you should be able to deauthorise ALL 5 authorised computers - supposedly you can do this once a year.
    Thereafter any devices you no longer have will be deauthorised, and you can reauthorise those you still have or are new.

  • I just found out I have a second Apple ID, how do I set up my new phone to this account and delete from the other?

    Ok so all this time I have thought that I only had one Apple ID. The one my mom and I shared. Now I'm noticing that sometime ago I must have created my own Apple ID. I need to know how to first transfer all of my information from my back up of my old phone on my mom's Apple ID, to the other ID. Then how to bring all of that to my new phone. After that is done, I would like to delete all of my things from my mom's Apple ID to keep us all separate.
    Can anyone walk me through this step-by-step?

    Apps and media are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
    You cannot transfer from downloads from one AppleID to another, nor
    can you merge AppleIDs. If you wish to start using your own AppleID,
    you will have to redownload all the items you wish - paying again under your
    AppleIDfor anything requiring payment.
    Logout of iTunes under your old ID and login using the new ID.
