Step by step instruction on how to lock my airport connection on a mac

step by step instruction on how to lock my airport connection on a mac

Establishing and connecting to a wireless encrypted network takes two basic steps:
Administering the wireless router to configure it for a wireless security type (WEP (not recommended), WPA, or WPA2) and password.
Connecting a wireless client to the secured network by choosing the corrent security type and entering the correct password.
The "lock" symbol would only show up for a Wi-Fi network after it has been configured for security. You can't do this via System Preferences on your Mac. It would have to be done using either the AirPort Utility for Apple routers or a web-based interface for most others.

    Assuming your rig can support virtual machines, you can use Hyper-V and run another OS there.
    Better practice however is to use a dedicated machine and use remote desktop to the server.

  • Is there a step-by-step instruction on How to Prepare a Book Cover?

    Is there a step-by-step instruction on How to Prepare a Book Cover?

    f peter,
    Maybe, but it depends on the method of binding. Presuming a soft cover from back (flap) over spine to front (flap), corresponding to a normal section sewing or normal glued paperback, at least the following steps apply:
    1) Determination of the size of the front/back cover, corresponding to the paper size used for the (text) block (with the addition of the spine thickness); for books with flaps also the width of the flaps (remember to add at least some 2 mm to the width of the front/back cover to get a grip, you may get the feeling by looking a a few books with flaps);
    2) Determination of the the width of the spine: this is determined by the width of the (text) block (with the addition of twice the cover thickness) which again depends on the page number (including possible blank pages) and the paper stock; normally, the printer/binder will tell you;
    3) General layout with final cut size, (outside that) bleed, marks for cutting (which in some applications/versions are termed crop marks) and folding, registration marks, and possibly other printer's marks (you may find that in the Helpfile of the application; marks for folding are probably not included); especially in connexion with a high quality book, a crease for reverse folding some 7 mm from the folds at the spine may preserve the contact between front/back cover and spine/block (this is the first defense line against a battered look and tearing off the cover);
    4) Creation and positioning of the artwork; remember that the folds break the artwork into separate parts viewed separately/at different angles, and avoid crucial parts close to the folds which should form transitions or be empty (with just the background colour).
    As it appears from 2), you will have to talk to the printer/binder in any case. Get as much information as you can get about what they need/want.
    And remember prepress proofing.
    Obviously, there is much more to say.

  • Step-by-step instructions on how to do offline patching and offline updates

    I have a computer that has not been updated since Nov 2013.
    The computer cannot be connected to the internet at any time.
    I have already downloaded the .cab file (per instructions from another person) but I cannot figure out how to install anything.
    Essentially, I need step-by-step instructions on how to proceed with offline patching and offline updates.
    Please Help.

    Hi,
    What does your mean by "The computer cannot be connected to the internet at any time"?
    Did you mean that you are suffering a network connection problem when checking Windows update or this computer couldn't connect to network all the time?
    To install Windows update package offline, since you already download the update packages, just choose and click them to install these updates.
    If there is any difficult to install these packages, please feel free let me know.

    Hmmm? It's RIGHT there under iPod 101.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/maximize/2/
    1. In your word-processing application or program of choice, either type a new note for yourself (such as a shopping list, to-do list, or other notes), or copy text from a source (a recipe, email message, song lyrics, or the like) and paste it into your document.
    2. Save your document as a plain text (.txt) file.
    3. Connect your iPod to your computer.
    4. If you haven't already set your iPod for disk use (skip this step if you have), enable this feature by doing the following:
    1. Open iTunes, then open iTunes preferences (Mac users, choose Preferences from the iTunes menu; Windows users, on the Edit menu, click Preferences).
    2. Click the iPod tab, then click the Music tab in the iPod pane.
    3. Select the "Enable disk use" checkbox, then click OK.
    5. Open your iPod volume that appears on your desktop (Mac) or in My Computer (Windows) to display three folders: Calendars, Contacts, and Notes.
    6. Drag your text file to the Notes folder on your iPod to add it.

  • HT201269 There is reference to Icloud backup with regard to restoring to new iphone - but I don't see step by step instructions on how to restore my icloud stored stuff to my new phone.

    Where are the step by step instructions for restoring my stuff from icloud to a new iphone?

    See https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.
    If you haven't set up your phone yet, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.  If it's already set up, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup assistant again to access the option to restore your iCloud backup.

  • Need step by step instructions on how to connect wirelessly

  • Can someone give me a step by step instruction on how to install windows?

    Hi Guys
    I'm new to the forum. I'm going to be getting a MacBook Air within the next week and would really like to install windows on it. I've never owned a MacBook before so this will be my first time using one.
    I'm asking a few days in advance as I work on board a yacht and will only be on land for about 2 days next week then I'll be out at sea for about 2 months. So I nee to know exactly what to buy/get on land before I leave. I'll have a good Internet connection the entire time though.
    I don't mind windows 8, but would prefer windows 7.
    I've searched the net and just can't get a definitive answer on how exactly to do it. I've never done an install using boot camp so I'm going to need some basic and detailed instructions if possible.
    I presume I'm going  to need to buy an external cd drive as well as a copy of windows 7 or 8.
    Is there anything else I need to add to my list?
    Thank in advance for any info.
    Evan

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can install Windows on Boot Camp or a virtual machine > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321
    If you decide to use a virtual machine, install Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox. You can install the Windows version you want.
    If you decide to use Boot Camp, you can install a 64-bit Windows 7 or 8. In both cases, you have to use a System Builder or full Windows 7 or 8 version, which you can buy at Amazon or NewEgg. You will need an external disc drive.
    There's no risk in installing Windows on a virtual machine, as it's installed on a virtual hard drive. If you install Windows on Boot Camp, follow Apple's steps to install it > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

  • Need step by step instructions on how to get Lightroom to run in Windows

    First I downloaded Lightroom successfully using newest version of Creative Cloud. It would not run. Literally, nothing happens.
    Then I found some info online that says when Lightroom CC doesn't run, you must uninstall it and download it from the Adobe website instead of using Creative Cloud.
    When I try to download it in either Firefox or Chrome, I get this error message "Firefox/Chrome doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (aam) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context."
    After a lot of searching around, I discovered that I needed to download the Adobe Application Manger. I did so but it calls itself the Adobe Update Management Tool. Very confusing.
    Then I went back to the Adobe website and tried to download Lightroom again and got the same error message.
    Next, I ran the Adobe Update Management Tool and clicked on Get and Install Online Updates which seemed to be the only relevant choice. In the dropdown box under Select Product Type, there are many Adobe programs listed but Lightroom isn't one of them. I gave up on trying to download Lightroom directly from the Adobe website.
    I then re-downloaded Lightroom successfully using Creative Cloud. It still would not run.
    Next I found some info online that says you have to go into Appdata > Adobe > Local and rename the OOBE file to OOBE.old, so I did that. Lightroom still would not run. I rebooted. This time when I tried to run Lightroom, I got the screen where you have to accept Adobe's terms and conditions. I did so. Lightroom but still would not run.
    Is there anyone who has been through this and knows exactly what steps in what order I need to take to get Lightroom to run? I have Photoshop CC and it runs without any problems.

    You might reboot and try the other Solution #1/2 items, again.  Since you did so much hacking which may not have been related to the issue, there may be something else not right because of it. 
    You also might try uninstalling and reinstalling LR 5.5 from the cloud, again, or installing the LR 5.5 standalone update from the Adobe updates page:  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    You also might try uninstalling your all Adobe software, running the CS Cleaner and installing, again:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
    You haven't said what other Adobe software you're running.
    Is this the very first time you've tried to run LR on this computer or have you upgraded from previous versions that worked ok?
