Is there a way to see and have control over who connects to your time capsule wifi network?

Ok, have this question. Have a time capsule wifi network. Have the latest mountain lion on my mac pro. I know if you go into airport utility, and you click on the picture of my timecapsule it shows what clients are connected to my time capsule aka using my internet etc.
What I want to know, is there somewhere I can go on the mac where I can view who is connected to my time capsule wifi in more detail, see amounts of data they are using, and maybe even boot them off, or ban there computer from the network for a while if need be? Trying to assess what family members are using up all our data, and want to ban the appropriate offenders
Even if Mac doesnt have anythink, if you know any third parties from the app store that have an app that is like a "tap" on the top of your Mac that shows networking details, that would be great too!
Thanks heaps!

Nope.. TC are not burdened with controls.. don't you know..
In fact you will find it hard to find a wireless router on the market that mets your specs.. but there is a great 3rd party firmware.. called gargoyle.. this can be loaded like an official firmware in a NETGEAR WNDR3800 which is a fairly cheap very good solid wireless router.. bridge your TC behind this router running gargoyle and you can set quota for all your family members (kids I imagine). Quota can be set for daily, weekly even hourly.. and you can apply throttles or qos.. none of these controls even exist in the TC.

  • Is there a way to add/delete music to my iPhone/iPad directly through Time Capsule?

    I understand it is a long shot, but I also feel like Apple technology isn't far off from having this function. Let me explain:
    My MacBook serves me one function: acting as an interface for adding/deleting/editing my music for my devices (iPhone & iPad). It is the only reason why I still have my MacBook, and quite frankly, I'm sick of using it.
    Have we reached a point where I can finally eliminate the need of having this MacBook?
    All of my 500+ GBs of music has already been organized in iTunes (my way). The files are stored in my current external hard drive. My library is visible from iTunes but you can't play songs unless my hard drive is connected. What I currently do in order to swap music, is light up the hard drive and my MacBook, plug in my device and add/delete through iTunes. It is such a grueling process that always takes way more time than I'd like it to.
    My main question: Can you access the contents of your Time Capsule from your iPhone/iPad?

    I understand this might go beyond your understanding but a little input would be great. This isn't really a question, more like an idea:
    Ideally, I would have all 500 GBs of my music on my device at all times. Realistically, this is impossible until iPhone15 is out... so how about in the meantime, there is an app you can download that works in conjunction with hardware you need to buy seperately. The hardware acts as an external hard drive that stores all your music, and the app acts as the interface. All you need to do is connect the devices, and drag and drop with your finger. It seems so incredibly simple. I don't understand why this technology doesn't exist.
    I assume you know more about limitations and things like that. I just wanted to get a discussion going.

  • HT1218 i have a windows 8 computer that is not connecting with my time capsule wifi. my other macs and windows 7 systems do connect. is this a firmware update glitch? any suggestions?

    I have a windows 8 computer that is connecting poorly via wifi and my Apple time capsule to the internet. My IMac an another windows 7 based computer are connecting fine. This started 6 days ago. And, the windows 8 machine connects well via a hard Cat-5 connection to the time capsule (I'm using that now) and worked well on a wireless netgrear system over the weekend.
    I'm thinking an automatic firmware update may have caused this or perhaps i need the time capsule to use something other than a default address. Those are just guesses, but I could sure use some help. Thank you.

    It is hard to figure where the issue is..
    Certainly if windows updated the wireless driver that can mess things up no end..
    What update happened 6days ago?
    What TC do you have.. ?? If it is flat one and you updated to 7.6.4 do a factory reset and reconfigure.
    If that doesn't work roll the firmware back to 7.6.1 or even 7.5.2 as these are generally superior to windows.
    There is no update for TC gen5 yet.

  • I purchased a new router and now I can not connect to my time capsule. What should I do?

    In the past, I have just used my time capsule to back up my macbook pro. It connected wirelessly and everything worked great. I recently purchased a new router and now I cannot connect to the time capsule. Please help!

    Is that other router the "main" one?  If so, you'll have to configure the Time Capsule to "join" the network created by that router.  The details of how to do that and whether it's possible may depend on the brand and model of that router, but I have no details on that.

  • Is there a way to see if a subvi has something connected to a terminal?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    to test at runtime, you can set the default to some bogus value like 'nan' or -1 or empty string.  If this is still the value in the subvi you can tell if the value is still the default value and most likely not wired.  At edit time, scripting can accomplish this (not for the novice).
    What are you trying to do?  The answer might debend on this.

  • Is there a way to see or play two video tracks at the same time?

    I have video shot using two cameras at the same event.  If I take the video and put it in a sequence, say video1 and video2, how can I watch both tracks at the same time so I can edit them?  I tried using multi-camera monitor and have that show video1, while watching video2 in the right hand panel, but it doesn't work very well.  By that, I mean the multi-camera monitor does not play at the same time.  Instead, it stops, then when I play the other monitor it is still until I stop the other one.  Then, it "catches up".  If I play the multi-monitor, the other one is still until I stop the multi-cam monitor.  So, anybody have a better solution that I can use where they both play at the same time?
    BTW, my hardware is brand new and I have a 6-core i7-3930K processor with 16 GB of memory, so I don't believe the problem is with my hardware not being enough to run PPro 5.0 correctly.

  • What would be the simplest way to view and take control over the internet?

    Hi All:
    Can some one tell me what would be the best and simplest way to connect from my laptop to another laptop through the internet?
    I have DYNdns running on the second laptop and have a host name assigned to that system for it to update the IP since the system uses different internet connections. The services that I would like to be able to have are the viewing and controlling of the system. I've read some where in this NG that if I have a copy of ARD admin. installed on that system also, it would be one way to do it... can some one verify this and please let me know if there are any specific settings I need to have on either one of the systems.
    I can connect to the second laptop while in my home network with no problem and perform all tasks. when trying to connect through the internet.. the system shows offline .
    Both systems are identical in hardware an software, Intel 2.16, 2G's RAM, OS X ver 10.5.2 all up to date and ARD 3.2
    Yes, I'm new to ARD and yes I'm searching the NG and the net. but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask since time is limited.
    All help greatly appreciated ..
    TIA
    Oscar A.

    To be able to connect to a workstation from outside it's network, the ports that ARD uses must be open on both ends of the connection. ARD uses ports 3283 and 5900 so those must be open.
    If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
    ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. You would, I believe, need to install VNC servers on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while VNC servers can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
    Remote Desktop 2: How to specify a port number for a VNC client
    to connect.
    The only other options are: 1) to run the ARD administrator on a workstation on the network, and then take control of that system from outside, either via VNC or another copy of ARD, or 2) set up a virtual private network (VPN) so that when you connect from outside, your admin system is officially part of the local network.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is Airport Express the best way to extend Time Capsule wifi network?

    I have a Time Capsule which I use for wifi as well as backups. I would like to extend its wifi range. Is an Airport Express the best way to do this? Or would an Airport Extreme get better range? Thanks.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    You did not mention whether you are trying to extend using wireless only, but we'l assume that this is the case.
    The AirPort Express and the AirPort Extreme have the same range, so there would be no difference in performance between the two devices.
    If you have a newer dual band Time Capsule, a dual band AirPort Extreme would extend both bands...IF....the AirPort Extreme is positioned where it can receive a strong signal from the Time Capsule. The AirPort Extreme would also provide you with 3 ethernet ports if you needed to connect any ethernet devices.
    The AirPort Express will extend one band, as it is a single band device, but that may be all you need. Since the AirPort Express can plug directly into an AC outlet, it is usually somewhat easier to place the device where it will be needed.
    A good location for an extending device is a point that is about 1/2 to 2/3 the distance from the Time Capsule to the area that will need more wireless coverage, assuming there no major obstructions in the signal path. The idea situation would have the extending device placed where it has close to a line-of-sight relationship with the main router.
    Post back if you need configuration details on the extending device, or if you need more information.

  • My non Apple WIFI card can only see 2.4Ghz Time Capsule WIFI network

    I have a 2TB Apple Time Capsule, running v7.5 & offering both a 2.4 & 5.0Ghz WIFI network.
    My Linksys WUSB600N card that is plugged into my download & media server (running Window 7) can only see the 2.4Ghz network. I've confirmed that I'm running the latest drivers for the card.
    My 13" Apple MacBook Pro and Lenovo X31 with Intel WIFI can see both the 2.4 & 5.0 GHz networks that I've setup on my Time Capsule.

    After a little bit more digging, I've managed to find my own answer. For some reason the WUSB600N isn't able to see the high 5.0Ghz channels, no matter how I configured the driver settings (ensuring that all the correct channel ranges were enabled).
    Once I hard coded the 5.0Ghz channel on the Time Capsule to channel 48, I'm able to see the network & connect without issue.
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • Is there a way to see what apps are on the phones under your account?

    Can anyone tell me if you can see the apps that are on each phone under your account?

    As noted earlier, your Google account lists the apps you've downloaded for your account.  So unless someone has your Google credentials, they're only visible to you.
    As Jakeman1 said, log into Google Play from a computer (or request the desktop version from a mobile device).  On the left, click Apps.  Then underneath that, click My Apps.  Just to the right of that, click the drop-down next to All Apps and you can see what apps have been downloaded by device.  You also can assign nicknames for the devices via the Settings (the gear in the upper right-hand corner).

  • Can FireFox addons maintain state, inspect tab content and have control over the browser independently?

    Hello,
    I have a question about developing FireFox extensions, i.e., what exactly are they capable of.
    I'd like to automate my work on a certain web application, that spans across multiple sub-pages on a single domain (just like a regular website).
    Will a FireFox addon be able to control the browser's behavior? I.e. will it be able to follow links and keep its internal state separate from the web document? (E.g. I am pretty sure Google Chrome extensions sometimes restart themselves once the page they were working on is reloaded.)
    Basically I would like to create an addon/extension that has some internal state, is able to interact with the web page, and is able to reload the webpage/do whatever it likes in the tab.
    Can FireFox addons/extensions do that?

  • Upgraded MobileMe to iCloud and now can't connect to my Time Capsule at home with Back to My Mac

    I upgraded my MobileMe account to iCloud yesterday and now I can't connect to my Time Capsule when I am away from my home network.  I had been able to using Back to My Mac with my MobileMe account.  Now the airport utility still only shows a mobileme option in the advanced settings.  Is there an update for the time capsule so that I can input my iCloud information?

    Apparently this isn't possible. This was never discussed publicly before the iCloud launch. All that was said was Back to my Mac would continue working. I looked everywhere and couldn't find anything, even after the iCloud launch. Made the switch, my AirPort started yelling at me because of MobileMe credentials. I've been waiting for an AirPort update but have still been digging. Just found this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4867
    Talk about a footnote. This should have its own article, not be like, "Oh everything will still work great! ... ... ...
    Except for AirPort disk sharing."
    I'm not too happy about this.

  • I want to connect an Airport Express via WiFi to my internet connection and then connect its LAN port to the WAN port of a Time Capsule. Will then any device connected to the time capsule wirelessly be also connected to the internet?

    Background is I can't hook up my time capsule directly to my internet connection via network cable. I tried to extend the network via Wifi, but that did not work. At the moment I have two wireless networks, one with internet connection and another one with my time capsule. So to use time machine I have to change my network all the time.
    Can I buy an Airport Express, use is as a client to my internet connection wifi and provide that connection via network cable to my time capsule and all it's wifi clients?

    The AirPort Express will connect to your existing wireless network if the network is using WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security settings.
    So, it can join the network as a client and then provide an Ethernet signal to your Time Capsule.
    Be sure to configure the Time Capsule to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will be operating on the same network.
