Need help sharing internet connection between pc and mac using airport

Hello
I have a PC with an internal modem that connects to the internet via 3g+. it's got wi-fi as my macbook.
i want to share the internet connection of the pc via wifi (using what is called an "ad hoc" connection ( a pc to pc network)) so that the mac can connect to the pc (via wifi) and use its internet connection.
i've already tried a bunch of things but they don't work, can someone help me or tell me where i can find a GOOD guide to do this? (i've already looked around but i haven't found anything that works)
thanks

Hi. I'm not sure if this helps, but I just found a nice way to do it the other ways around (share the internet from your mac with your pc).
See: http://echeng.com/journal/2009/07/06/encrypted-internet-sharing-between-mac-os-a nd-windows-xp/
Specifically, step 4 and 6 are crucial!:
1. In Mac OS X, enable Internet Sharing to computers using Airport
2. In AirPort Options, select 128-bit WEP encryption and enter a 13-character password
3. In Windows, add a new wireless network
4. Enter the SSID and select WEP encryption with Shared Network Authentication (not Open)
5. Uncheck “The key is provided automatically” and enter the 13-character password
6. In the Authentication tab, be sure that “Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication” is unchecked
The main idea is that MAC-WEP and PC-WEP are not quite the same, so this tweak makes them line up. Perhaps you can do it the other way around from PC to MAC by sort of reversing the idea?
Hope that helps you!

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using Windows 7

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

Need help with Color Profiles between Photoshop and iPhoto

Hey guys, I'm a photographer and have always used Photoshop in comination with iPhoto. I am having great difficulty lately with color profiles randomly changing within albums of pictures. I need all of my images to be in sRGB, but some somehow end up in Adobe RGB. It seems to happen at random. Apple seems to think it's an Adobe problem. Adobe isn't sure what to do. Anybody aware of any known issues between CS5 and iPhoto using OS 10.8.4 with regard to color profiles and how to fix them?

Sharing display and internet connection between a 13inch Mac Book and G4

Does anyone know whether it is possible to connect a Mac Book and a G4 Powermac with an ethernet cable and then hook them both up to the same display and ethernet internet connection?

Usually you use a router to share an internet connection and to make a local network between the computers over Ethernet or WiFi. I think it is possible to directly connect the computers without a router, but you might have to use a cross-over cable, I'm not sure how to set up a direct connection. Using a wireless router with wired ports would allow you the flexibility of using the MacBook wirelessly and the PowerMac with a wired connection. I have an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station, and it was pretty easy to set up, it plugs into my cable modem to share the internet connection.
They make hardware devices that allow you to share a docking station between more than one computer, called a KVM switch, so you can have one keyboard, video display, and mouse and switch between two active computers.
Alternately, using the network connection, you can use Chicken of the VNC, which is a virtual network computer, this opens a window, or full-screen mode, of a computer so you can operate it from another computer.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/
You can also control a PC from the Mac using Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection.
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=remotedesktopc lient
Some monitors have multiple inputs, so you wouldn't need to use a KVM switch, if for example your monitor has both DVI and VGA inputs, the front panel can select the source, so you could use a DVI adapter for the MacBook and a VGA for the PowerMac. You could still use the KM portion of a KVM switch if you wanted to use a single full-size keyboard and mouse with both computers.

Sharing Internet Connection between Mac and Windows

Hi there!
I have a Windows Desktop and a Macbook 13". Am I able to share the Internet between them?
My Mac has Airport to connect wirelessly. So does my PC, except this Wireless connection always fails. I have re-installed the software and so on, but it still is failing.
What I would like to do is to have my PC connect to my Mac (preferably wirelessly, but I will use an Ethernet cable if I have to!) and then use the Wireless Internet connection. Is this possible, or am I just dreaming?
Help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Macbook 13" Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2.0 Ghz and a Superdrive!

Right now, I have Verizon DSL that uses a Westell router. It has 4 ethernet ports on the back in addition to the DSL connections. I have a HP Pavilion with Windows XP in the basement, an iMac G3 in my room, and an intel iMac in our living room all connected to the router by ethernet cables. Each computer is able to access the other computer's files. On the intel iMac I have Microsoft Remote Desktop installed so that I can log into the HP in the basement and control it from the iMac. I haven't tried operating this network wirelessly, but I would imagine that it would be possible. One thing that you might want to check is the router's configuration. My router has settings that either allow or block wireless signals. To access my router's settings I type in 192.168.1.1 in Safari or Internet Explorer. Having all 3 computers on the internet at the same time does not slow the speed of the DSL very much.
I hope this information will help.

Sharing internet connection with powerbook and nintendo wii through airport

i have been trying to share my internet connection from my imac to my powerbook and nintendo wii. i've been unable to accomplish neither. i've opened the sharing preferences, chosen "share your connection from built in ethernet" which is how my imac is connected to the internet, and then chosen "to computers using airport". if i then set my airport options to automatic channel, encryption using 40 bit wep and set a 5 character password as it says if you "plan to share your internet connection with non-apple computers", (and then turn internet sharing on) shouldn't i be able to connect either/both my powerbook and my nintendo wii? or is it necessary to have some other piece of hardware or go through some other steps?
thanks in advance for any help.

I got a macbook for college and I had the same problem with connecting my Wii to the macbook's connection. But lo and behold, the internet's a wonderful place! I tried this out (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070514152251515) and it worked! I'm not sure about the powerbook bit though, sorry. Hope it works for you too.

Sharing internet connection between two Macs

I would like to enable my wife's new MacBook to share an internet connection ( wirelessly ) with my iMac G5. Both machines run OSX 10.4.8 and both have Airport cards installed as standard. I have a DSL broadband connection via a USB modem on my iMac. From what I've read this is reasonably straightforward and doesn't require any extra kit, ie create an Airport network and set the appropriate Sharing preferences etc.Is it as simple in practice? Has anyone got a similar setup working? Is there a step by step guide to achieving this?
Would greatly appreciate any help.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi,
I seem to have 'solved' the problem by turning off the firewall on my G5. Entourage is on my wife's laptop. However, I originally had the Personal File Sharing and Personal Web Sharing boxes allowed with the rest of the firewall on and this enabled my wife to access the web but not Entourage. It was only when I turned the firewall off completely that she was able to use Entourage OK. Is there another box that I should check that would let her use Entourage without me keeping the whole of the firewall off ( its not obvious which one to set )?
Thanks again.

Lost Airport internet connection between G5 and G3 iMacs

I hope you don't mind, I posted the following in internet etc. but not much traffic there...
I'm doing this from memory as not in front of either iMac. I have until now had a simple wireless internet connection as follows: G5 iMac connected by ethernet to broadband supplier which shares internet connection via Airport. This is picked up by an ethernet wireless router connected to my G3.
This has stopped working over the weekend. G3 had an amber light in network status (static DHCP address or similar) but that has now gone to green and 'connected to the internet' etc.
The internet sharing control on the G5 has full signal strength but seems to have difficulty checking status - revolving petal thingy below signal strength. But occasionally does settle on 'status fine' or similar.
Now the G3 fails to connect to the internet, G5 works just fine.
No settings have been knowlingly changed and all seem to be correct. There was a power failure for a couple of hours last week, don't know if this is related.
Thank you very much for your help.

Darrin, just back from Montreal and glad to see that great minds think alike. Often, in fact usually, problems with airport connections can be solved by rebooting the router/airport. For no apparent reason, they often go all funny, and this usually takes care of the problem,
anyway, glad you are back up and running,

PLEASE HELP. The connection between invoices and notifications

Hi
I have to develope a search page for invoice notifications. The trouble is that I can't find the connection between an invoice and the notifications sent on this invoice. Have no connection between the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table and the AP_INVOICES_ALL and AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL tables. Is there anyone that can please help me ?

In the Report Builder, try
File --> Generate to File --> HTML
for an approximation of "what you see is what you get". There may be differences from what the end user sees based on different browsers (IE vs Netscape), different browser margin and font settings and different printers for printed reports. It is truly annoying. We have found that PDF is more predictable when it can be used instead of HTML.

Sharing files between pc and mac using ipod ?

I have a PC at work and Mac at home. My work email only allows 10MB enclosures and my work files are often 100MB.
I want to take the files and not the processor home to work on. Can i do this using my colour iPod ?
What i did is format the iPod on the PC and then fill it and sync it with my Mac at home. I did this because i believed that whilst a Mac can read PC file structures the reverse is not true.
Problem is that i get an error message from iTunes each time when it tries to sync up. So the sync seems to abort rather than complete.
Anyone any ideas/experience that may be relevant ?

btw the error is
"Attempting to copy to the disk "Guy_s iPod" failed. The file name was invalid."
and then it says
"The iPod "Guy's iPod II" cannot be updated. The disk could not be read or written to."

Technophobe needs help re internet connection

Hi, just bought an IMac and I'm looking to set up wireless broadband, I have all the kit wireless Router, ISP provider in place but I'm just basically struggling.
The CD Rom I have to install the kit provided by my ISP halts itself and displays the following message
Macromedia flash player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation, it highlights a local application trying to communicate with this internet enabled location and advises me to change my settings?
This is probably really basic but as I said I'm a technophobe and I'm lost and the help pages I've looked at so far don't offer me any solace I'm afraid.
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to use a web browser to configure the router.
Use the instructions on this page.

Need help with XML Compatibility between CS3 and CS4

I'm not a Dreamweaver guru but I am hoping someone will recognize my issue and be able to provide meaningful feedback.
Background:
A developer buddy and I are working together to create a new home page for an online retailer that utilizes flash banners. We're using XML to update the content of the banners. My buddy is creating the XML file and sending it to me to populate with content (i.e. descriptions, images, image paths, etc.). He is creating the XML file in CS3 and I am editing in CS4. Here's the issue: Whenever he uploads the populated XML file to the server the banners are displayed correctly. If I take the same file and upload it without editing, it works great. However, if I open the file, edit and resave before uploading to the web server, the the banners all have extra spaces between each line of content - almost as if it were double spaced. If you look at the code, the code looks fine. In fact, the code looks exactly like it did when my buddy sent the file to me. I believe we have isolated the problem to something weird with my installation of DW. I have downloaded and installed any and all updates. Oh yeah he's using a MAC version and I am using the PC version of DW.
Has anyone seen anything like this before???
Help...

Thank you for your response.
The code is listed below and to tell you the truth the following code is both good and bad. As I mentioned before, if my buddy sends me this xml file and I upload it to the server, it works fine. If I open the file and immediately save it without making any changes then upload it, I experience the previously described promblem. It's very strange. The code in both files is identical.
To get a clearer picture of what I am describing, go to http://www.everythingministry.com/beta3.htm. The book descriptions appear correctly under the "New and Recommended" tab. However, whenever I edit any one of the six xml files that control the content for each of these tabs it ends up looking like what you currently see under the "New Music" tab. I have actually tried to update from 2 different machines running DW CS4.
Below are the xml files for the two tabs I referenced in the paragraph above:

HT204204 I need help because i connected my charger and the newest iTunes didn't show my name so i can update my iPod and icloud didn't help either so i need help from someone

I

Do you mean that when connected to your computer your iPod isn't being recognised by your computer's iTunes, you aren't getting the device icon showing next to the content type icons towards the top left of the iTunes screen ? e.g.
If not then see if one of these troubleshooting pages help :
PC : iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
Mac : If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
iCloud isn't used for updating a device (apart from backing up to it, though ideally you'd also back up to your computer's iTunes and copy any iTunes purchases over to your computer's iTunes library). Or do you mean that you can't update wirelessly directly on your iPod ?
(I've asked for your post to be moved to the Using iPod forum, where you've posted is for questions about the iTunes U app.)
