Is there anyway to track our internet usage on the airport?, is there anyway to track our internet usage on the airport?

Hi. We recently have subsriced to Satelite internet connection in North Yorkshire. The satellite connection is limited to a 13gig download limit and was wondering if there was a way to track our usuage as a whole - which are two laptops, i-phones and i-pad - by using the apple airport? Or any other way that people may know of.
Thanks for your time in advance!

I have the same need which I assume is growing for many and thus done some research in this area. Apparently, applications such as NetUse and iNet Network have been able to measure total internet usage on the Airport Extreme, until recently.
Unfortunately, 6.x Airport firmware updates have eliminated something called SNMP Monitoring which has undermined the ability for these apps to measure the traffic. Very frustrating!
To my knowledge, SurplusMeter only tracks internet usage on one computer which is of limited use in a multi-device environment.

  • Is there an app to track internet usage of other apps?

    I know you can check your overall usage from your phone. But is there an app which tracks how much I use on specific apps, GPS, Safari, Youtube etc.?

    There are some apps in the app store that track data usage, but I don't believe they can track by app, only whether it's cellular data or WiFi. But do a search anyway.

  • Under my website data (Settings, Safari, Advanced) there are websites using a lot of data which I have never visited before. Several of these listed sites are for tracking internet usage.  Has my phone been compromised? Is there any other explanation?

    I have recently discovered a website called bluecava operating on my iphone 4s, according to my website data log.  I've never been to this site, but according to my data log this site is using a lot of data, along with other sites which I have never visited before. Does anyone know anything about bluecava (I've done my research, but I'm not finding information about individuals using this to track someone), or have any other explanation for seeing un-visited sites on my data log?
    Someone recently mentioned phone "cloning" to me, meaning that my iphone may be accessed remotely.  Any information is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks a ton!  Yeah, I didn't know about any of this until I had reason for legitimate concern.  People should be aware of what's available.  Someone intent on tracking you won't mind paying bluecava to do it for them...
    I'll definitely be updating my browser as well.  However, Lawrence, I did find during my research that bluecava DOES NOT operate based on cookies.  It uses your IP address to consistently track patterns of behavior, even
    within multiple devices of one household, so that deterring the tracking is not as simple as turning off cookies to a site.  (See screenshot below from bluecava.com)
    If you go to the bluecava site's privacy policy, you can actually opt-out, however, blogs have criticized bluecava for not explaining exactly what happens when a user opts-out.  It may be beyond our control...

  • Guys I have had my macbook air 2011 model stolen this afternoon. I have the serial number, the airport ID and the bluetooth ID. Is there anyway I can track my computer?

    Basically is there anyway to find my computer using the interweb? I don;t think I have any expensive software installed.

    I'm afraid that Kappy's answer is rather complete on the subject. The Mac's wouldn't need the functionality of "Find My Mac", if there were alternate means available without it. Yes, there are alternatives to "Find My Mac", but all them reguire the user to setup the software for the device's ability to be tracked.
    If there were another way to track a Mac without owner/user interaction, then the means would be considered a security flaw.
    Even Find My Mac is not without issue. The unit's location can only be determined if the thief/possessor connnects the unit to the internet. Therefore, in addtion to being dependent on prior user setup, the thief himself must participate in a specific manner.

  • Is there anyway of tracking a I-mac when it has been stolen??

    Just been told all my electronics from house has been stolen. Is there anyway of tracking an I-mac if it is connected to Internet?.

    Sorry too! We had not-invited visitors last year.
    When you get a new iMac, I can recommend a program called Undercover to track and lock stolen iMacs. They also have one called Witness, which is an alarmsystem, based on the  iSight camera. It can be remoted from iPhone too. Go to www.orbicule.com to learn more about it.

  • Tracking internet usage-Flash AS3

    I am facing a problem how to track data usage (i.e download & upload rate) as well as to keep track of total size of downloaded content right from the establishment of net connection.Clearly explaining we have developed an application where we want to display internet usage..It would be great if someone would help in this issue....

  • YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

    YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
    I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

    You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

  • I don't have a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet ... just a mobile WiFi (there is no cable available at our house). How do I connect my Time Capsule to the Internet via the mobile WiFi?

    I don't have a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet ... just a mobile WiFi (there is no cable available at our house and the mobile WiFi is our only option). How do I connect my Time Capsule to the Internet via the mobile WiFi?

    LOL!!
    I am in Australia and the ISP... I think both the main ones would fit your description to a T.. big T in particular.
    Your router is really unsuitable.. if it is only wireless and no ethernet.. just buy an ethernet one.
    Do a search on ebay.. 3g router.
    But you can get the TC to join a wireless network.
    It is a non-standard setup that Apple will not support.. the option is hidden.
    If you are on Lion download the 5.6 utility. Go to the wireless set up page and hold down the option key whilst selecting wireless mode.. a new option, join will appear. You can then put in the ssid and passkey of the 3g router.
    But please note the end result of this setup..
    very slow speed. The TC is now a second wireless hop from your clients.. this will halve the speed.
    In this mode the ethernet are deactived.. for reasons only Apple know, they decided you should not use ethernet when doing this.

  • Using a phone teathered HTC to access internet and trying to register our new ipad 2 but itunes store wont work.. i assume its to do with ports but we dont have the full internet, is there any work around? normal intenet download and other stuff works..

    me and my girlfiend just got an ipad 2 and were trying to register it but itunes will not connect to the store, i have run diagnostics and the internet has come up green, itunes connectivity as yellow and secure connection as red. i belive this is due to us running our internet off a tethered phone (htc desire) using tmobile as the provider ( the ports must need to be open) we havent got a dsl or cable line and the internet off the phone works fine for everything else..

  • My mom updated her iPhone to iOS7, and now she has my contacts. Does this mean that she has access to all of my photos as well? How can she 'unlink' our phones? Or, is there anyway that I can get my stuff to disappear from her phone? Thanks

    My mom updated her iPhone to iOS7, and now she has my contacts. Does this mean that she has access to all of my photos as well? How can she 'unlink' our phones? Or, is there anyway that I can get my stuff to disappear from her phone? We share iTunes account so I think we are both on the same iCloud.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you are using the same ID as a primary iCloud login, then yes she can see your photos in photostream if you have it enabled.
    You can use the same ID for iTunes so you can share all your purchases, but you need different ID's for iCloud.
    Unfortunately, the mess caused by sharing the ID, will need to be sorted manually, once you both have your own ID's.

  • Is there a way of "merging" songs in iTunes. Several times, I have downloaded from the Internet, or recorded from CDs, then found the tracks broken up to appear as separate "Albums". I have a 5-movement symphony, which appears as 5 separate songs?

    Try posting in a more appropriate forum, as this has noting to do with itunes U - the place where University/college/museums post education material.

  • My iphone has been lost in my house and i need to find a way to track it and its offline. it wont connect to the internet so there isnt a way to use find my iphone. i just want to play a sound on it. is there any way i can get a app that connects my ipod

    If your phone is offline, the ONLY way to find it is to look for it the old fashioned way.  Your phone CANNOT be located electronically if it's offline.

  • Hi there can anyone help me out.  I have Apple TV and I am trying to connect wirelessly through a zyxel wireless hotspot gateway, I know a tad extreme but a friend had one free,  anyway I can find the router but no Internet connection?

    Hi there can anyone help me out.  I have Apple TV and I am trying to connect wirelessly through a zyxel wireless hotspot gateway, I know a tad extreme but a friend had one free,  anyway I can find the router but no Internet connection?

    The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
    You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

  • Is there any way to check on my own internet usage?

    I am really puzzled by my new satellite internet provider (Exede). I joine on 2/14 and by 2/16 they said I had exceeded (pun intended) my 10 gig monthly limit. I know I had not, so when I contacted them and had them check their details, they had my down for 4 gigs both that Sat (15th) and Sunday (16th) between 4PM and 9PM.
         a. I was not even near my iMac between 4:30 and 6:30, and was watching the olympics from7:30.
         b. I had not sent more than 5-6 emails, had not downloaded any videos, movies, etc.
         c. Their tech person said it was really strange even from their viewpoint, but could do little. He did give a super bonus (for free!) of two more gigs - never to be done again.
         d. Their tech person said they had complete confidence in their records and also believed something very strange was going on - like someone else or some virus was using my iMac. I live in a very rural area - thus the satellite connection try. I don't have any neighbors who use my wi-fi.
         e. Does the iMac send constant data on its own? Could it be possible for a virus or some other program to be doing such strange, unauthorized activity? Is there a way to check what acutally went on two days ago?
         f. His only other solution is to unplug their modem when I am not using the computer. Sigh.
    Today I rechecked my use of the 2 gigs of bonus they gave me. I have carefully monitored my usage.
    a. Yesterday I sent 9 emails, got about 20; watched about 5 minutes of a youtube video; and sent a 4.7 imovie enclosure via email. Their recorded me as using 5 gigs!!
    b. Today (it is still am when I write this), I checked my email - 20+ emails, sent 10 (no enclosures) and watched exactly 4:30 minutes of Fcebook videos. Exede added 2 more gigs!!
    I cannot figure out how this is happening. I guess I will have to cancel the service with only a week of being a user - unless someone can help me find the mysterious culprit, be it an unknown meighbor, a mysterious code in my iMac or ???

    Any client on a network, including wireless clients you don't know about, could be consuming bandwidth. Wi-Fi networks must be protected with WPA2 security. If yours isn't, change the security setting on the access point. If it's already set that way, change the password. Make it a string of at least 8 random characters, including digits and upper- and lower-case letters. The password is saved in the keychain and you don't have to be able remember it; in fact, you shouldn't be able to remember it.
    You make these changes in AirPort Utility, if the access point is an Apple device, or in a web browser otherwise.
    If the network or the password was insecure, and bandwidth use returns to normal after securing it, you can be pretty sure the problem was caused by intruders.
    But intrusion may not be the issue. Most often BitTorrent, iCloud, Dropbox, or some other cloud-data application is involved in cases of mysterious bandwidth use by a Mac. If you use iCloud, uncheck at least Photo Stream and Documents & Data in its preference pane and see whether there's any change. If you use third-party network backup or file-sync software, disable that. If you use a torrent client, remove it.
    Otherwise, if you're running OS X 10.9 or later, you can see which processes are most active on the network.
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)  
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select All Processes from the View menu, if not already selected, and also select the Network tab.
    Click the heading of the Sent Bytes column in the process table to sort the entries by bandwidth usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Repeat with the Rcvd Bytes column.
