Mac product that makes computer like a wireless router

I thought I saw a product that pretty much makes my Mac a wireless router. If I plug internet into my Mac, this devise will turn that internet into wireless for other devises to use. Thanks

I never advise people to use there computer (Apple or Windows) as a router. Computers do not make good routers but they are good computers. Use your computer as a computer and get a cheap router to do your routing. If you use your computer as a router keep in mind that it must always be on in order for others to connect through it.

I want to eliminate an autofill choice that pops up when I sign into yahoo using the Firefox browser. I tried yahoo help which said hover over the unwanted line and press delete, but that did not work. I am using a Mac if that makes a difference.

I just registered for cisco as a member will that allow me to access wireless router as a guest

I just registered as a cisco member will that allow me to access wireless router as a guest on the internet

What is the model number of the Router? Let me know the name of the ISP (Internet Service Provider)? In order to work with the Guest network you have to install the router first. For the setup process, you need to perform the following:
i. Verify that there is an active Internet connection between the computer and modem
ii. Setting up the router using Cisco Connect
Here is the link to setup the router: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=21463&userrole=Links...

App that make screen like blackberry

I'm looking for an app that will display all of the things on my schedule at the front screen like blackberry. you know when u look at a blackberry screen there will be list of what u input just to remind u every time u look at the phone. I don't wanna go all the way in the calendar. It would be easier to just look at the first screen and know what u have to do.
Is that any app like that for iPhone?

I don't think an App would work like that, because it would have to be "open" and running all the time. But, most apps close when your phone rings, you need to send a text, you turn off the phone, etc.

Need help hooking up my daughters computer on my wireless router.

I am totally new to the wireless world. I just bought a lynksys Wireless-G WRT54G wireless router. I hooked my new Dell XPS400 via the wired connection and my son's Dell inspiron notebook up via wireless. My daughter just got back from Hong Kong with a Toshiba computer and it sees my wireless network but it is asking for different information than my son's computer did. All I had to do with his was give the Key code and reboot the computer and he was able to get right on. Her computer is asking for the "Network Name (SSID)", "Network Authentication" and "Data Encryption", none of which am I sure what it wants. The only block calling for a key # is grayed out.
Is there anyone who might can give me some guidance on this?
Thanks

Family sharing is only iOS 8 (and later)
I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
More details of how:
http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Use your Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

Connecting an older computer to my wireless router.

My wireless router is connected to my work computer which is in the same room as my own personal computer. I can hard wire the two together since they are only a few feet apart, but my older computer only has a phone line connection. Are there cables with a ethernet plug on one end and a phone line size plug on the other, or what do I have to do to hard wire these together. My older computer, which still works just fine for my personal needs does not have wireless capability so I was hoping somehow I could hard wire this to the router. Any help is much appreciated.

Also, does the older computer support USB? (Don't laugh; there's a method to the suggestion!) Even if, for some reason, there's no room to mount a wired or wireless network adapter inside the computer, there's nothing stopping you from using a USB network adapter (wired or wireless) to connect to the same computer. Since there are USB wireless network adapters available (wireless-b, wireless-G, and wireless-N, as well as multi-protocol), do give serious consideration to having one or more around (if for no other reason than as spares); I'm looking to pick up one or two such USB adapters for my two-computer all-wired network (the router is a WRT54GS V.2, but may shortly be replaced with a WRT-310N for additional range and wired gigabit support). I've had my GS since 2005, and I'm very happy with it.

Mac book pro makes noise like a lawn mower

every now and then my mac book pro starts to make a noise that resembles the sound of a lawn mower in the neighborhood coming through the open window.this lasts about 5 minutes,then the book is back to normal.
can i stop this somehow?do i have to be concerned?

You might download the widget "iStatPro" from the Apple site and look at it when the noise occurs. See what your fans are doing, and see if you can associate the noise with the fans and the internal temperature of your computer. The fans in my MBP idle at around 2000 RPM. If yours do the same, run at about the same speed, and then speed up for a while if the temperature goes up, then they are probably working as they should. You could post back with some actual speeds and temperatures if you want to verify that what you are experiencing is normal.
If, however, the fans are operating at very different speeds, or one isn't operating at all and the other is going very fast, then you could have a problem with either a fan or a thermal sensor. If you think you might, run the Apple Hardware Test--it will give you an error message if there is a problem.
If it turns out that the noise is not associated with fan speed, then I would start to worry about the possibility that it might be coming from the hard drive, and back up all your data ASAP. And post back or call Apple if you're under warranty.
Good luck!

How can i reformat my mac book that will be like a new one?

How to reformat my macbook and be like a new one?

Are you looking to reformat the MBP and install OS X again so that it becomes a complete new Mac for you? Great, here is what you need to know and implement. OS X: How to erase and install - Apple Support And if you are selling it off then do a complete wipe of Mac hard drive as suggested by Kappy. Reformatting Mac may increase the speed and performance for your system Hope for the best.

Ty for ur response. I'm bummed not be able to work with ur company. I was hoping that u could best direct me to the closest product that is most like yours!

What product that works just like Premiere Pro but it's for a 32bit laptop? My comp doesn't run on 64bit and I really want to use Premiere pro.

Please answer~

You are out of luck. Premiere Pro will only run on 64 bits.
You could consider Premiere Elements.

Problem for connecting my computer to my wireless router via ethernet cable

I have a wireles router model BEFW11S4. I have three computers connected to the router by wireless. All these connection work well. I have also a computer connected to the same router via an ethernet cable. This connection does not work, I cannot access internet with that computer. What can I do to correct the problem?

First off, you need to ascertain if the network card in the computer that is not working is capable of sending and receiving legitimate packets.
Best thing to do is try and connect this machine directly to your Internet Service Provider modem and see if it works.
If it doesn't, first you need to check if your computer is capable of acquiring an IP address automatically (See below for details).
If it is setup to acquire an IP address automatically, but still does not work you either need to find someone who knows how to test network hardware for you or you could try installing a different network card in your computer.
There are 2 ways a computer can receive an IP address. A typical way is for your router to provide one to the workstation using something called DHCP. The other method requires you to know the exact IP addressing required on your LAN such that your workstation when manually configured with an IP address knows where to send it's packets to get out to the Internet.
To check if the computer that does not work is configured to "automatically" receive an IP address from your router, do the following:
1. click on Start
2. click on Control Panel
3. double-click on Network Connections
4. right single-click on "Local Area Connection"
5. click on Properties
6. Scroll down the list until you see "Internet Protocol (TCPIP)"
and then double-click that item
7. Make sure "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" are checked.
This setting allows the workstation to send a broadcast message looking for a DHCP server which can assign an IP address to the workstation. Your router typically would have a DHCP server configured for providing IP addresses. The typical home-based routers can be configured to run a DHCP server or not. Chances are that your wireless computers are automatically acquiring an IP address from your router and therefore it should work on Ethernet connections as well.
It is possible for something to be not working inside your router that would prevent the DHCP server from distributing IP addresses only on the Ethernet connections. If this is the case you would have to acquire a new router.
There is more that can be looked at, but this is where you need to start.

Mac Mini, Sonology NAS, And Apple AirPort wireless router, Will this work?

[IMG]http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL256/13533814/24272354/405877013.jpg[/IMG]
OK, so my plan is to create a home movie server for the living room and the kitchen as illustrated in the diagram. I Plan on using a mac mini (current generation) as the liaison between the NAS and the receiver. I will install XMBC on the mac mini’s as a movie organizing software. I will use the iPad app to control and select movies from the system. This setup will repeat in the kitchen with the exception that I will connect the mac mini directly to the television in which the audio out will go to a jack which connects to the in ceiling speakers. Will this work? Are there any other suggestions that anyone has to make it more streamline? I also assume that there can be simultaneous movies being watched in both rooms via the NAS. Thanks for all of your comments and help

in theory, yes, but you work network admin may have locked the network preventing this from working

Mac mini won't connect to my wireless router!

I just bought my mac mini server then connected it to wifi, then after 2 weeks I had to go abroad for a week so I just turned off the switch connecting to my mac, without switching off my mac mini server. then when I get back home my mac mini won't connect to my wifi. I tried everything from manually setting up IP and DHCP nothing works. What happened?
thanks for help,
Jakarta

I didn't reset the machine/router itself because 2 of my computer is still connected to wifi-and working perfectly, but the mac mini server cannot connect to wifi.
what I did was to set up the "networking utilities"-having said that, what I did was to connect all over again to wifi, this did not work. I did tried to change from DHCP to manually set up IP, neither of these didn't work.
I'm now stucked!

Why is my Mac Book pro not picking up my wireless router?

My Mac Book Pro is not connecting to y wireless modem. It keeps saying it is timed ot. Also the sound is not playing well. Sounds distotes at times and low in volume. Mac Book 2009. 15in

Software Update only works for incremental updates.. not necessarily upgrades. MacOS Version 10.x.y where x = major upgrade and y = incrementenal update
MacOS v10.5.8 is Leopard and v10.6.7 is Snow Leopard. You first must buy Snow Leopard v10.6 for $29 single use or $79 Family use upgrade price, and then run Software Update to get to the current update revision level which is 10.6.7.
