Internet sharing is not showing WIFI as an option?

i just moved to a new apartment that has internet included via a LAN cable, now when i try to create a wifi hotspot, the wifi box isnt appearing as an option in the sharing setting. How can fix this issue and create a wifi hotspot?

MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122

MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122
I have created a password protected wifi internet network on my Macbook air. I tethered by Andriod phone onto this network, but the internet connection works intermittently on the phone, and when it stops working the network continues to show as connected to the shared network mostly(other times it keeps renewing the wifi IP address on the Andriod phone).
Also the network the MBA is connected to, is a hardwired one using a SSH login account in a student accomadations.
I am not sure, but all the restarting and refreshing of system, phone and wifi sharing and re-enabling wifi is not reparing the internet connecting on the wifi network for the phone
Really puzzled, if this is one of the Apple, Andriod compatability issues.
Cheers,
Vivek

Hi.
I'm having trouble with the wireless connection on my new home hub 3. Most devices will connect easily, but there are three devices that have trouble connecting. These are an Android Phone (Samsung Galaxy Mini), an android tablet (Sony Tablet S) and an iPod. All of these devices work perfectly on other network connections, and other devices in the house are quite happy connecting to the network.
The Androids can see the network, and will try to connect to it, but when they do they just go through a loop of "connecting">>"acquiring IP address">>"disconnected". I have tried resetting the Home Hub with a pin, and that lets the devices connect for about 24 hours, but after that time they stop connecting again.
I'm really not sure what to do to fix the problem, so I will very much appreciate some help.
Many Thanks.
My lads SGMini connects perfectly to our hub3
Have you installed the BTFon app to these devices?
If so, you could delete it and then see what hapens.....

Problem in Internet Sharing from Ethernet to wifi

Whenever i go to Preferences > Sharing > Click Internet Sharing > From Ethernet > to wifi and hit start. It actually creates my wifi access point but the problem is that i lose my internet connection from both, my mac from which the connection is being shared and my cellphone which is connected to it. I can not identify what is the problem, but i have tried it many times with or without the WPA2 personal key. Even after stopping the internet sharing, i have to plug out and then in my ethernet cable in order to connect to internet.
This problem was also on OS X mavericks with me last year, but it resolved automatically, i don't know how. But since when i have upgraded to yosemite, i can't make my hotspot connection working . Suggest any quick and effective way please.

Same problem over here...
Additionally: if I unplug Gigabit-Ethernet-Adapter and plug it in again while Internet Sharing is still activated, the internet via ethernet works, but breaks down again about a minute later...

Sharing does not show up on the side column ... tried turning off home sharing then turning it back on ... shared shows up untell i click "done " then its gone.

Yes, I have also tried and failed when setting up Home Sharing. I have followed the instruction given on the Support website, but this is all I see:
Both computers are on the same local network and both allow Home Sharing and are signed in with the same user name. I am not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?

Home sharing enabled, not showing up in itunes menu

I have two pcs and I have enabled home sharing for both and made sure I am signed in under the same apple id for both, but "Sharing
" does not show up in the menu on the left side of my itunes. What am I doing wrong?

I found that switching homesharing off and then turning it back on for me cleared the issue.

Internet Explorer does not show photo's on website

I made a website with iWeb. It looks fine on Safari and Mozilla Firefox but Internet Explorer does not show any of the photo's I have put on. Any solutions out there? Thanks in advance.

usually this isn't relevant to the Mac side of things, but on the PC side of things do you have McAfee Privacy Service installed on the PC? if so, try disabling that and having another look in IE 6. can you see the buttons now?
on the Mac side of things ... do you have java/javascript enabled?

A printer that I have connected to my iMac via usb in not showing up in printer options on my iPhone or iPad and it use to before I upgraded to 8.1

A printer that I have connected to my iMac via usb in not showing up in printer options on my iPhone or iPad and it use to before I upgraded to 8.1. How can I fix this?

Is it an Airprint-compatible printer, and is its WiFi enabled if it is? (see: About AirPrint)
If it isn't an Airprint supported printer, then you need a 3rd party driver on your iMac to print from an iPhone. Such as Printopia. As it worked in the past you probably have such a printer driver installed; check and see if it's running.
Beyond that try restarting the printer, restarting the phone, restarting your router, and restarting your computer.

Why are my desktop fonts not showing up as an option to use in Muse anymore?

Why are my desktop fonts are not showing up as an option to use in Muse anymore? I know that my desktop fonts are not web safe and will export as an image... But I would still like to have them as an option. Why did this start with the latest release? I cannot find anything in the preferences or menus to make them show up as an option. I am running OSX 10.9.4 and Muse 2014.0.1.30 CL785017. Please help!!!

Hello,
Could you please try the following:-
Reboot in safe mode by pressing the SHIFT key (it takes a while) so the OS clears the font cache.
Reboot then in normal mode and the fonts should show properly.
Regards,
Neha

Camera raw plug in not showing up as an option in the file menu the plugin was updated?

I am trying to adjust the white balance using photoshop elements 11, all the information I have come across tells you how to do it using the camera raw plug in. This has been updated and still I do not see it listed when I click on the file menu. I take photos of antique gold lockets using a light house and even though the custom white balance is set on my camera the photos are still coming out too canary yellow. I need to be able to adjust the colors so that they are more antique rose gold looking and have been reading different articles and videos on how other people adjust the colors and would like to try a couple of the ways I have seen but am unable as the camera raw plug in is not showing up as an option. Any suggestions on how I can solve this problem would be most appreciated. I have tried the quick fixes, color and contrast etc and not getting the results I am looking for... Please tell me what to do...

You never see it in the file menu. But if you go to File>Open As in windows you should be able to choose Camera Raw as the format.
On a mac it would be file>Open, choose the file, choose camera raw as the format>Open.
That's assuming these aren't raw files. If it's a raw file, just plain ol' file>Open and selecting a raw file should open the file in the converter.

Disable or turn off your anti-virus and firewall software on your computer and try the download again.
