Is there a way to limit a wireless client's bandwidth?

My roommate's boyfriend brings his laptop over from time to time which isn't a problem, but today something on it is killing my Internet speed. It's just crawling. They haven't been here all day, and I don't want to go mess with his computer. The airport network is all my equipment though. Is there any way to cap the laptop's bandwidth or slow it down in some way? I don't want to use MAC address filtering and ban it from the network, but I would think there's something I can do....
Thanks,
Sean

No this is not a feature supported by the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).

I have an Apple TV 2, is there a way to limit use time?

Since the cable company will always tell you that the "connection looks good", it is a good idea to verify that for yourself, if you have not already done so.
Just connect your Mac directly to the modem, check the download speed that way, and note the results. If you do not have an application to test the connection speed, you can use something like this:
http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
Then, connect the modem to your router normally, and then connect the Mac to one of the LAN <-> Ethernet ports and check that way, and note the results. This should be about the same speed, or a bit less than the direct connection to the modem.
Then, power off the router and power it back up and try a wireless connection with the Mac relatively close to the router. You should see about 80-90% of the speed that you noted when the Mac was connected directly to the modem and the router using an Ethernet connection.
Make sure that there are no cordless phones anywhere near the router or Mac when you test the wireless connection.
Post back on your results.

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections. For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb. These terrible download speed really only affects the iPhones as my MacBook Pro usually gets the good speed no matter where it is. I don't believe there is anything wrong with my phone because if I am in the part of the house that uses just the extreme the download speeds on the iphone goes up to 50-75mb. As a note I have an AirPort Extreme on the top floor of my house (second floor) that's where my modem is located. On the first floor that's where one airport express is located. I also have another airport express in the basement that is accessed by my landlord. Any thoughts on how to fix this would be helpful.

It appears that your networking goals with the AirPort Express is to use it as a wireless Ethernet bridge instead of using it to extend the wireless range of your AirPort Extreme. The latter requires that the Express Wi-Fi radios be enabled.
If you intended to use the Express as a wireless bridge, you just need to reconfigure it to "Join a wireless" network instead of "Extend a wireless network."

In an extended network, the placement of the extending base station is critical as it can only extend the wireless network at the bandwidth at which it receives it.

Is there a way to limit the frequency of the "autosaving drafts" feature in Mac Mail on Lion?

Using Mail Version 5.0 (1244.2/1244.3)
On MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.1
Wondering if Is there a way to limit the frequency of the "autosaving drafts" feature in Mac Mail on Lion?
Looked all thru preferences and googled the crap out of this and can't seem to find the answer I want.
Basically, I have my mailbox behaviors set up exactly the way I want them. (ie deleted messages get saved to my "Trash" folder on the server) I do not think I should have to change them, but because of the autosave feature saving almost every 3 characters typed, I have an over abundance of versions saved in my Trash folder. This problem would be solved were there a preference somewhere I could select to save drafts "manually only" or "opened messages save when quitting" or something along those lines.
Is this a preference setting already that I am missing?
I would settle for a rule, just not sure what perameters should be set for this to work.

Typically a server has a settable parameter to limit concurrent connections. Check the server's documentation.

Is there any way to limit purchases on my iPad

Hello world
MY question is simple: Is there any way to limit ALL purhases (not only in-app purchases) on my iPad.
I've tried to assign a debit card with a small amount of money but it did not help. I'm still able to make purchases, their cost is in "pending" state(a red sum in iTunes with info that my card could not been authorized) and thay will be debited from the account as soon as i refill my account

Remov the card details and credit your account with a small amount by means of an iTunes gift card.

Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError -- Is there a way to limit BPEL instances number

Hi All,
My BPEL process is using JMS adapter to read the JMS queue. Whenever a new message arrives, a new BPEL instance is created. However, when the message gets bigger and multiple messages arrive at queue at the same time, the OC4J gets java OutOfMemory (heap space) error and was forced shutdown. I'm wondering if there's any way to limit the BPEL instance created, say, only one at a time, and the messages would be processed in sequence. Would this be a good way to not use so much heap at one time? Is there a way to limit the BPEL instance created?
Thanks for your help!
Michelle

Take a look at how to configure Jms polling interval (talks about a property that you can set to introduce a delay in between dequeues). That might be of some help to start with.
It is supposed to work exactly the way you want it i.e the activation agent does a dequeue and hand off to bpel engine (which creates an instance and uses the same thread to run as much of that instance as possible i.e till the first dehydration point). So, if your process has a dehydration point right at the beginning (which could be due to invocation of another async process, or wait or ...), you could very well see this thread go right back and process the next available message.
I believe this is a generic problem that is not necessarily jms adapter specific. One way would be to split up your process into three processes:
1. "Kickoff" process which contains just a "receive" associated with the activation agent followed by an invocation of a "Controller" process
2. "Controller" process which checks for the provided input as to which process it needs to invoke, and then goes on to check how many instances of that process are currently running; if this number is below a certain threshold, kick off the main process providing it the necessary payload gotten from the "KickOff" process
3. "Main" process which is same as your current process except that it is a typical async process without the adapter "receive" partner link
So, the idea being that for any process where you want to introduce a control-flow mechanism, you would split it into #1 and #3 above. Have one generic Controller process, which caters to all of the processes.
Would be interested in learning if others have solved this in a generic way.

HT4489 Is there a way to limit (specify) what is shared when you share a contact?

I noticed when I share a contact that most information in the contact is shared. This is not what I want. I would only like to share the basic information like telephone numbers and addresses. I do not want to share my notes and additional information that I have accumulated. Is there a way to limit or specify exactly what you want to share?

This isn't a way to limit what is shared, except to create a new contact to share that excludes this information.

Hi. Is there a way to limit the size of the emails I receive?

Hi.
Is there a way to limit the size of the emails I receive? Can I set my iPhone4s to only download headers or set a limit to the size? I can't see anything in the settings.

My Gmail downloads only small embedded pictures. For videos and other big files I have to tap to download and this is a temp download. So you don't have any problem I thing. You can Delete the account-restart-add account back from time to time.

Is there a way to limit the size of the page preview cache?

Overall I think that the page preview function of Safari is really great. But I noticed today that Safari was becoming slow to close down, and I cleared the page previews with the "Reset Safari" function, and over 1 GB of cache was cleared up. I had no idea that that much disk space could be taken up by the page previews.
Is there a way to limit the size of the Safari Page Preview cache to, say, 500MB?

Sorry, you can't limit the size of that item; you can either delete it, or disable it completely (which will also disable Top Sites and Cover Flow for Safari).

*Is there any way to limit the Chart Bar size dynamically?*

Hi
I have selected the Marker size as Medium for my Bar chart.
Bar chart bar showing too big when there is only one bar.
Is there any way to limit the bar size dynamically?
Thank you

hi Ruwan,
Don is correct in that there is no option in the chart design component to do this.
what you can do though (i know it is a pain) is to
1) create a new chart in a new section with a narrower bar using the chart options dialogue
2) create a conditional suppression formula for the new section and the old chart section based on the value returned in the Show Value for the chart
i have created a request for a charting overhaul [here |https://ideas.sap.com/community/products_and_solutions/crystalreports;jsessionid=B3E2E9F6A6CC9C9F5321659382A91855.node0]in the ideas place which includes a solution for this particular issue. please feel free to give it the thumbs up if you think that this is a worthwhile idea.

Is there any way to limit the number of Threads running in Application(JVM)

Hello all,
is there any way to limit the number of Threads running in Application(JVM)?
how to ensure that only 100 Threads are running in an Application?
Thanks
Mohamed Javeed

You should definitely use a thread pool for this. You can specify maximum number of threads that can be run. Be note that the thread pool will only limit the number of threads that are submitted to it. So donot call "Thread"s start() method to start thread on your own. Submit it to the pool. To know more, study about executor service and thread pool creation. Actually it will not be more than 20 line code for a class and you might need maximum of 2 such classes, one for threadPool and other one for rejection handler (if you want).
Just choose the queue used carefully, you just have to pass it as a parameter to the pool.
You should use "Bounded" queue for limiting threads, but also be careful in using queues like SynchronizedQueue as the queue will execute immediately the threads submitted to it if maximum number of threads have not been running. Otherwise it will reject it and you should use rejection handler. So if your pool has a synchronized queue of size 100, if you submit 101th thread, it will be rejected and is not executed.
If you want some kind of waiting mechanism, use something like LinkedBlockingQueue. What this will do is even if you want 100 threads, you can specify the queue's size to be 1000, so that you can submit 1000 threads, only 100 will run at a time and the remaining will wait in the queue. They will be executed when each thread already executing will complete. Rejection occurs only when the queue oveflows.

Is there any way to limit usage on certain jetpacks?

Hi~
I have a shared everything plan 40GB. I live in the middle of nowhere. I homeschool and need to do a lot online. Area monopolized by satellite which is an awful but necessary evil. When it rains, forget TV or internet. They do still offer dialup. Ha! Anyway, so I chose this plan and it has been "okay". The signal is spotty and the 4G I was told I would get is hardly what I get on my phone when I am in the main cities. Still, we make do.
Here is my current dilemma. My elderly mother in law is staying with us for... a while. She is not a pro, but she can certainly get online. Of course, I have passwords (of my own making). My kid put a password on her laptop when she said she needed to check email. Well, it turns out that granny likes to play online games. The ones that stream. She sucked up all 40 GB in a few short days. Uploads, downloads, you name it. She has been told time and again that the usage was OVER. That she had to wait for it to roll over. She was still going online. I was in a panic with the emails about overages, etc. I had to disconnect the boxes and take out the batteries, just to be sure.
I do know that the boxes can be configured to only work with the mac addresses you designate. That's great. I did that with the first one, but not yet with the newer one, b/c it was only my husband, myself and kids-we are all VERY clear on usage. So, yeah..the one she has been using is the newer one b/c we trusted she would listen to what we told her.
My question is this: Is there any way that I can create a dedicated user "account & password" to her and then limit THAT usage? I know something kind of like this can be done for kids phones, but no clue about boxes. I really don't want to have to block her, but I cannot afford to sacrifice my kids education b/c she wants to play games. My spouse will never deny his mom anything, but he gets mad when told the usage is gone after a week. My usage is about to roll over again and I NEED it.
I asked a rep on "live chat" & they couldn't help-told me to call. I will call, but prefer to do it during the week, when no one will "overhear" and get offended. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance'

Windchimes74, oh wow! That is a lot of usage in a short amount of time. We do have a great application called Family Base. You can restrict the amount of time/amount of usage that a particular device can be used. By doing this you can put a limit when Mom is online. Once the jetpack reaches that limit it will not allowed to be downloading anything else. This package is $5 a month for the whole account. It is an awesome feature that I myself use for many lines on my account.

Is there a way to use both wireless and ethernet without having to unplug the ethernet

I have 7280 all in one, 2 wireless laptops and 2 wired desk tops. At present I have to unplug the ethernet cable any time I want to use the wireless. Is there a way to set up the printer so it will recognize both. any help will be greatly appreciated

No.
Connecting the Ethernet will disable the wireless by design.
Each of these connection methods look like two different devices to the network (with different MAC addresses and potentially different IP addresses). Since there is just one printer, having what looks like two different devices on the network at once would lead to mass confusion for devices trying to access the printer.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
