Mac air port and wrt54g

Trying to set up a secured setting between the wrt and my iBook air port to keep freeloaders off my wireless. Can it be done?

Yes, you can enable WPA under the wireless tab of the router. It should be compatible with your airport card. You just need to enter your shared key on your computer to connect.

  • I have the latest Mac Air 13" and I have a Seagate 500MB external hard disk I cant copy or Cut any files on the hard disk and I cant even delete any files. I have the settings as Read and Write in the get info tab. Please help

    I have the latest Mac Air 13" and I have a Seagate 500MB external hard disk I cant copy or Cut any files on the hard disk and I cant even delete any files. I have the settings as Read and Write in the get info tab. Please helpand also note that my hard drive was formatted on a Windows 7 Laptop.

    thats the problem, its in MSDos (Fat) or NTFS for Windows.
    Options.....
    1. offload all that data on the HD onto your PC, THEN format the HD in EXFAT for use on BOTH PC and Mac for read/write.....then reload all (or as you need) that data back onto the HD
    2. get another HD, and format it for Mac OSX extended journaled.
    FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
    Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X.
    Maximum file size: 4GB.
    Maximum volume size: 2TB
    You can use this format if you share the drive between Mac OS X and Windows computers and have no files larger than 4GB.
    NTFS (Windows NT File System)
    Read/Write NTFS from native Windows.
    Read only NTFS from native Mac OS X
    To Read/Write/Format NTFS from Mac OS X, here are some alternatives:
    For Mac OS X 10.4 or later (32 or 64-bit), install Paragon (approx $20) (Best Choice for Lion)
    Native NTFS support can be enabled in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is not advisable, due to instability.
    AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support NTFS
    Maximum file size: 16 TB
    Maximum volume size: 256TB
    You can use this format if you routinely share a drive with multiple Windows systems.
    HFS+     ((((MAC FORMAT)))  (Hierarchical File System, a.k.a. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Don't use case-sensitive)
    Read/Write HFS+ from native Mac OS X
    Required for Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! backups of Mac internal hard drive.
    To Read HFS+ (but not Write) from Windows, Install HFSExplorer
    Maximum file size: 8EiB
    Maximum volume size: 8EiB
    You can use this format if you only use the drive with Mac OS X, or use it for backups of your Mac OS X internal drive, or if you only share it with one Windows PC (with MacDrive installed on the PC)
    EXFAT (FAT64)    ------Can read/write from both PC and Mac
    Supported in Mac OS X only in 10.6.5 or later.
    Not all Windows versions support exFAT. 
    exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table)
    AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support exFAT
    Maximum file size: 16 EiB
    Maximum volume size: 64 ZiB
    You can use this format if it is supported by all computers with which you intend to share the drive.  See "disadvantages" for details.

    i guess you could put the aiport utility app on your iphone, click on the aiport express there, it will show you how many devices are connected to it and the mac addresses of those devices.

    You are mixing different issues. I will address Numbers.
    Has Numbers ever been installed on this new Mac? Did you have the Mac App Store version of Numbers or did you have the DVD version of Numbers?
    You should be able to redownload a previous purchase of the Mac App Store version of Numbers from the Purchases pane after signing into your account.
    If you had the DVD version, then you will need to install that from the DVD media.

  • I had to replace my cable modem and now my Time Capsule only talks to just the one Mac Air.  My other wifi devices (another Mac Air, iPad, and iPhone) can't get on the wifi.  Any suggestions?

    I recently replaced my cable modem and now my Time Capsule only works with the one Mac Air and not my other devices (another Mac Air, iPad, and iPhone).  Any suggestions?

    It sounds like you have gone from a cable router with the TC bridged to a cable modem with no router.. so the first device to connect pick up the IP address. Did the cable company give you the same model?? Check if it is a pure modem or a modem router.. and what the last one was.
    Anyway.. you should redo the setup.. do you have any computer with ethernet?? Did you buy a USB to ethernet adapter for one of your airs.. very hard to do setup without ethernet.
    Also download the new utility.. with the old style.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    If you happen to be on Lion.
    Redo the setup and make sure you setup correctly to router mode if the cable modem has no router or bridge mode if it is a router.

  • Air Port and Wireless Router

    I have recently purchased a wireless router from netgear (model # wpn824) and I am unable to connect to it wirelessly. I can connect if I'm plugged directly into the router, but not using air port. Actually, I'm not able to open up my web browser (I get the message "server not found") even if my air port icon is on and it seems as if I'm actually connected to the network. There is another computer in my household (a PC) and usually it has no problem picking up the network and getting online. Help?

    Ensure that the RangeMax feature is disabled on the Netgear. This is not part of the wireless standard and therefore not supported by Apple.
    Ensure that the DHCP server is enabled on the Netgear.
    Ensure that MAC address filtering is disabled on the Netgear.

  • My mac air stopped and works not more what to do?

    My mac book air stopped and works not more, what to do. Is a new computer??

    Letting your child use your computer and sherbet at the same time is a disastrous mistake, as you'll learn when you get the bill for replacing all the damaged components of your machine. If you're determined not to keep the child and the computer separated, at least keep the sherbet and the computer far apart at all times.

  • Mac air overheating and won't re start ?

    Mac book air is overheating and won't re start. Have left it for 2 hours but still warm and still dead.  Is the battery going to blow?

    I have not heard of this. Are you running extensive applications on it such as video or music editing software? Did you leave it on charge for those two hours, or did you remove the MagSafe adapater?
    What I would do would be to remove the MagSafe adapter, let it cool. If you can get it going again, then I would leave things, and see if it happens again. If it does, I would reinstall Lion, and if you continue to have problems after that, I would take it to an Apple store to have a Genius look at it.

  • How do i connect my hard drive to the air port and share it with my computers on my local network and internet.

    im having trouble seeing my hard drive. please help

    Have you verified that.....
    The drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?  Most drives are pre-formatted for Windows NTFS, whcih will not work with the AirPort Extreme
    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is under powered, so if your drive is formatted for Mac as above, you almost always need to use a powered USB hub....even if the hard drive has its own power supply

  • MAC OS X and WRT54GS

    Hi,
    We are using a PC (XP sp2) and a MAC (OSX) on tour. We are having smooth sailing with 'plug and play' on the XP laptop but slow, muddy, dropped connections with the Powerbook running  OS X. We are being very simple and not using a WEP key and leaving it unsecured - we work in an area where there are no other laptops and  ...heck we don't care  
    I've looked (and quite sure I've missed a solution in here for this so forgive me) but any tips, tricks or ideas on improving the mac's chances with this wireless hardware?
    Again, the XP machine needs no set-up: it simply finds the router and works. No software needed. The MAC finds it but works to about 30% of the PC's capability.
    Any hope for harmony in this?
    Thanks bunches for your time and for reading.

    try upgrading the firmware of your router especially if you are using version 5 or 6.

  • Apple tv and air port?

    do i need apple tv if i have air port and my new tv can connect to the internet?

    Network person here.... the apple tv box, wireless router and my laptop ( on same wireless network ) are all connected.   The Apple TV and my Laptop both getting ip from wireless router thru DHCP and both showing the same network mask of 192.168.0.    .129 for apple tv and .130 for Laptop... sub 255/24 with a Gateway of 192.168.0.254, but, I can't ping apple tv from laptop?  No ports are blocked and my firewall/antiv on  laptop are both off.  Wondering, Sue has an apple router at home and this unit works there.  When we hardwire the apple tv into the wireless router here it connects and pings just fine,  Only difference left is the Wireless mode could be different on a Netgear and and Apple router. Currently we are using 2.4GHZ band 11ng.  Is this compatible with the Apple TV?

    mac book   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I see you're running 10.4.7 - would you consider running software update (select the blue apple in the top menubar, then select software update) and upgrading to 10.4.8, as well as applying any other updates for your MacBook?
    It may resolve the issue. The other possible answer is that your wireless connection is experiencing interference.
    If you have other 2.4GHz devices (portable house phones, microwave) within reasonable distance form your wireless router it may cause interference with your wireless connnectivity.
