Setting Internet from .mac to new address

Should be easy. Anybody know how to change pop up email? You know, if your on a website and you click on a tab to email the company directly. When I do this, the computer automatically opens .mac, which I am not a memeber of. I would like to change this to setting to open my Internet accout. Searched through Safari preferences and Network Settings, to no avail..

You're welcome.
If I am understanding you correctly, it is not possible to link my Comcast email through Safari, because it is a web address.
Correct if you are accessing the email account thru webmail only using Safari or another browser and this is the same with Windows also.
You don't use an email client such as the Mail.app to access your Comcast email account and if so, why?
You can try selecting AOL as the default email reader which is done via the Mail.app at Mail > Preferences > General but you can also access an AOL email account with the Mail.app or another email client which I believe will be easier in this situation.

How to share internet from mac to windows

Any one helps me how to share internet from mac to windows? I have created an internet sharing on macbook, a Mac can connect to internet, but windows pc can't connect with this sharing. I don't know why?

I am not a Windows guru. However, in XP there is a Wireless Network icon at the lower right side. Click on that, select the network you want to join, insert the password and that's it. Any issues speak to a Windows guru.

Cannot go to the Internet from Mac OSX, and Fedora Core 5

All Windows users (XP, 2000, Vista Beta) can connect to the Internet no problem on WRT54G with Firmware v4.20.6 (may 26, 2005). But odd enough, though getting the right DHCP assigned IP addresses and DNS server address, MacBook Pro (OS 10.4.1) and Fedora Core 5 cannot go to the internet at all using Safari and firefox browsers: the message keeps saying that your computer is not connected to the internet. Tested with BOTH wired and wireless connections, no luck to the internet. So, it's not about the wireless settings and setup. It doesn't work even if I directly connect the CAT5 cable to the router port.
Tested at wireless hotspots, at work where we have Cisco access points, and at a friend's place where there is netgear wireless router, MacBookPro is just working fine connected to the internet.
Any suggestions? Linksys doesn't support Mac and Linux PCs at all?

Thank you very much All (devildance, and Frank).
Seems like it is working fine now...
I reset the router as factory default, and reconfig the wireless setting(disable broadcasting SSID, configure TKIP PSK, and MAC filtering). Directly connected CAT5 cable from the router to my MacBookPro Windows XP. Working fine. Switched to Mac OSX, working fine. But, when I disconnected the LAN, and attempted to connect wireless, I couldn't go to the Internet using Safari and Firefox: keeps saying that your computer is not connected to the Internet.
Still could ping to 4.2.2.2 and 207.232.22.25, but getting errors "could not resolve the host name" when I pinged with the hostname bearshare.com.
Connected the wired CAT5. Working fine. Unplugged and used the wireless, could not get to the internet.
Checked the NICs settings on both LAN ethernet and wireless airport. All seems the same and correct: IP address, subnetmask and gateway address, and NO DNS entry. The same settings, but works on LAN cat5, and not works with wireless. So, for the sake of it, just manually added the DNS server IP addresses and domain names on wireless NIC. And Wala...it is working fine with wireless. Still strange the fact that Ethernet LAN NIC still doesn't have any DNS entries and working fine, but required DNS entries on wireless NIC.
For Fedora Core, could ping and resolve names without changing any settings. But when going to the Internet, got the error saying "comcast doesn't support this platform/OS" and another error "Welcome to Comcast High speed Internet....registration currently unavailable" when attempting to go any websites. Notieced that we pinging cnn.com, bearshare.com, or any websites, got ping reply from the same IP address which appears to be one of the comcast DNS server IP, 68.87.64.132.
So, I think it is a comcast issue not supporting Linux or something else which I would need to call to Comcast about...
But, thanks...looks like I can go to the Internet on Mac OSX, and Fedora core now with Linksys WRT54G. Thanks so much guys for all the suggestions....

TC to receive internet from Mac !

My Mac Mini is connected to the Internet through USB SIM Card router.
How can I configre the TC AirPort to do the following:
1) The TC to receive Internet via an Ethernet Cable from the Mac Mini?
2) Backup my Mac Mini via Ethernet Cable on the TC?
3) The TC to provide Internet Connection via an Ethernet Cable to my DVR?
Nothing seems to work as I keep getting all types of errors that I had to reset my TC to factory settings and delete my backups
I'd be very grateful if one can guide me through to accomplish all the above.
Thank you all in advance.
PS I don't have the latest vertical TC, I have the previous model.

what OS are you running on the Mac Mini??
Did your 1. work??
I would say that is the key to this. ICS for mac OSX will perhaps depend a bit on the version.
Just google for it.. but be warned it is not 100% and it fails fairly often.
http://osxdaily.com/2012/01/05/enable-internet-sharing-mac-os-x/
Once you actually get ICS (internet connection sharing) working on the Mac then you set up the TC in bridge mode.. remember the mini is now the main router of the network and the TC will be a dumb AP, switch and backup disk.
The TC should be able to connect to the DVR.. but it is the mini that does the routing.
It is hugely easier, better, superior, without doubt buy a proper wireless router. Do not use your mac as a router. It might do for the occasional desperate need but never use it for dedicated use that a $50 box can manage as it was designed to do.
You can then plug the TC into the computer and use it for backup or whatever.. wireless routers seldom come with ethernet but if you can find one then buy it.
You can also btw buy a router with USB and get a third party firmware to support it.. sometimes.
Anything but use the Mac.

Can't share Internet from Mac to AirPort Extreme via Thunderbolt Ethernet

Hey there!
I'm trying to essentially use a 2013 AirPort Extreme as an AP for the network. It's connected via WAN to a Mac via a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter.
I'm having a hard time telling OS X (10.10)/ OS X Server that I want it to take the Internet from "iPhone USB" and share it with "Thunderbolt Ethernet". With or without OS X Server's DHCP/DNS "help". I've been experiencing issues with Internet Sharing for years on OS X, so the fact that I'm having an issue today is no surprise, I'm just hoping someone out there has a solution.
If I go back to Internet Sharing in System Preferences, the "share Internet connection from" combo box is blank, rather than showing "iPhone USB".
Also, I'm unsure as to whether I should be using OS X Server... I know it's not necessary for simple Internet connection sharing, but I'd like to use DHCP and DNS services with this setup at least eventually.... Obviously just getting Internet to the AirPort is first-priority.
Any ideas?

Hello Kevin,
Let me try to get this straight, it seems like you want to bridge the fee-based wifi network and your home wireless network using your MB.
I don't know if you have done the following steps already on your MB:
1) Choose Apple > System Preferences, and then click Sharing.
2) Select Internet Sharing.
3) Choose a network service from the “Share your connection from” pop-up menu, AirPort in your case.
4) Select a networking service to share your Internet connection from the “To computers using” list, ethernet in your case.
Sorry, yes indeed it is straight from Mac Help titled "Sharing your Internet connection." and it sounds like you have done the sharing part already. You wrote about something wrong with your MB. It might be helpful to write what is wrong with your MB, AirPort Extreme, or your "other computers." Preciseness can definably help us help you.
May you solve the problem.

Change set-up from Mac to PC

I upgraded my Mac to 10.6.8. I can no longer access the Airport utility.
So can I set-up my Airport Extreme 802.11n with my PC running Windows 7?
Will it connect with the set-up already done from my Mac?

That explains everything, thanks!
Don't use AirPort Admin Utility any more. It has been outdated for a number of years, and won't even work with newer AirPort base stations. Unless you have a very old (ten years or so) AirPort base station you might as well drag AirPort Admin Utility to the Trash. You won't miss it.
Instead, download and install the following: AirPort Utility 5.5.3 for Mac
It does everything AirPort Admin Utility did, and more.
Here is the corresponding Windows version: AirPort Utility 5.5.3 for Windows

How do I get my apps from mac to new iPhone 5

How do I upload my apps from the Mac to a new iPhone5

What apps? Are these apps you purchased or downloaded from the iOS App Store?
If so start iTunes on your Mac and connect your iPhone. Then sync your apps.
Alternately you can use the App Store app on your phone and download previously purchased apps directly to the phone.

Sharing Mobile Internet from Mac to iPhone via WiFi

I am using a Macbook Pro, OS X 10.9.3.
I am using the internet via a mobile USB stick that I bought today. The set-up worked perfect and I have no problem accessing the internet on my mac! Earlier today I chose to share the connection so I could use my iPhone & iPad. I then went away for 20 min, and when I came back I couldn't share my internet connection anymore.
I've tried closing and opening the internet, choosing to share my connection via bluetooth, but nothing helps. I've set it to share the connection via HUAWEI Mobile (which is the name of the USB) and to computers using WiFi. The exact same settings I used before, when it worked. And now it doesn't
I've tried using the "create network option", but when I choose to join the network on my iPhone it says that "the computer isn't connected to the internet" -even though I am!
What happens when I try to share my connection: The "shared connection symbol" (arrow in the wifi symbol) shortly flashes up, but then it seems to be searching for another wifi connection, doesn't find it (the reason I bought mobile internet: There is no wifi here) and then the symbol is just light grey (= no wifi).

No.

I have just returned from visiting Italy where I got the internet from various wi fi addresses. Now on my return to England my wi fi will not connect to my router (smart phone does connect OK)saying 'this wi fi network could not be joined'. Any ideas?

The Air Port fan icon on the menu bar is greyed out and when I click it to connect a message appears ' the wi fi network could not be joined '. The wi fi is turned on both on the router and selected as on in the screen drop down. The smart phone works perfectly with the wi fi router so it must be something to do with the Mac book. It worked fine before I took it to Italy. It does work Ok using an Ethernet cable. Could it be that some Italian IP's are being stored in the laptop and the UK IP is not being recognised? Any ideas on what could be done? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks !

How do I migrate old iPhoto Library from Mac to new MBA?

Attempted to move iPhoto library from old Mac to MBA by coping file to external drive. Copy only gets halfway done then stops with message that some items cannot be copyed. Help.

How is your external drive formatted? This problem usually occurs, if you are copying from/to a drive that is not formatted Mac OS X Extended, and usually, if your Photo Library contains files with filename that include national characters, like äöüé, etc.
If your drive is still the default MS-DOS (FAT) reformat it using Disk Utility, and then try again to copy.
If this does nor help, look at the part of your Photo Library, that has been copied. You can open the library by ctrl-clicking it in the Finder, then select "Show Package Contents". From the files that have been copied, try to figure out, which file would have been copied next and causes the error. Check, if you can open it in Preview or another program. Look, if the filename contains non-standard characters.

Léonie
