Stopping some family members using my internet!!!

my problem,
i have a 20 step son i want to stop their access to my internet network,
if i change the password on my wifi all he will do is reset it in some way and get back on ( yes he is a clever little so and so )
what i want to know if i bought the express, would i be able to set an "administor" on the settings that even if you unplugged the express the settings could only be changed by me on my mac?
or is there a way of barring his windows based laptop or even better , his laptop and his iphone,
if the express cant do it could the extreme,
im will to pay the money if its possible
i know this sound petty but he doesnt pay me for it and he clogs up the network for everyone else in the house that needs it

Stuart,
I assume throwing him out or breaking his wrists are not option
When you say reset the password - do you mean the AIrport network password or the actual Airport Extreme/Express passwords?
If the former you could change the Airport devices to be in a closed network so you can specify exactly which MAC addresses can connect.
In either case do you know how he gains access to the passwords? If he is hard resetting the base stations I'm afraid the only way to limit his access is to physically secure the devices.

Shawn

HT204053 I have multiple family members using one apple id account and all of each others information is going onto each others phones/how do i stop this?

I have multiple family members using one apple id and all of our data is going onto each others phones/how do i stop this?

Each person needs to have their own separate Apple ID along with their own separate computer user account and iTunes Library.

How do multiple family members use iTunes.? One account or multiple?

How do multiple family members use iTunes. One account right now but apps gets added to all devices and iTunes messages go to all devices. Can multiple accounts be setup and still have ability to share purchased items?

Hey Ajtt!
I have an article for you that can help inform you about using Apple IDs in a variety of ways:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4895
Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases
You can use different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases and still get all of the benefits of iCloud. Just follow these steps:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
When you first set up your device with iOS 5 or later, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.
Mac:
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, you can also click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
PC (Windows 8):
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in the Control Panel. To access the iCloud Control Panel, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes. In iTunes 10, select Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
PC (Windows 7 and Vista):
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes 10 in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
Note: Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID for your iTunes Store account, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. Learn more about associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

Can I put more than one user under one Apple ID account. I want to let other family members use imessage on their own Apple device. Or is there another way to get this end result?

You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses.

What happens on iCloud (ex. contacts) when multiple family members use the same Apple ID?

What happens on iCloud when multiple family members use the same Apple ID? For example if we all choose to use iCloud for contacts, are they all merged together? We use the same Apple ID so we can use find my iPhone to keep track of the whole family.

Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
You can only unravel this by
1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

Family map consistently stops locating family members

I have been using the Family Map app for almost a year. At first, it was great. It proved to be very consistent locating family members. Then suddenly in April, after an AT&T update on my Samsung phone, I completely lost the ability to track one family member. I called AT&T tech services a few times. No one could help me. I canceled the service twice because I was so frustrated. Then in June, after a routine Family Map update, I could suddenly track the family member that was not trackable for over a month. Everything was working fine until this past week when Family Map stopped tracking my other child's phone. That child informed me that she had an AT&T update this past week on her HTC phone. Now I cannot track her and we have tried everything logical to get the app to work. I have deleted and then added that family member back onto my family map account; we have uninstalled the Family Map updates; we have re-installed the app on her phone. I am paying full price for half the service!

It may be time to try some free apps that do the same thing.
Try Life360. It works on all types of phones. So far it works as long as GPS is on. There is an upgrade option for a single payment of $15, but I haven't seen any need to update.

Multiple Family Members using a MAC

Hello,
Can someone give me an overview of how family members all use 1 MAC and ICloud so that each person gets their own "stuff"? For example, I would like to get my calendar, my songs, my contacts, my apps synced with my devices--iphone and ipad. And my wife would like her own stuff synced. Seems pretty fundamental but I could not find any info from Apple. Is there a way to do this if each person has a separate Apple ID? What are other people doing?
Thanks,
Matt

If each person has a separate Apple ID, as you stated, it should be no problem. However, i'm not sure exactly how you have your computer set up, if you have separate User accounts set up, or if you just use one User account.
You should create a separate User account for each family member. Decide if you want those User accounts to be Administrator accounts, or if they are Standard accounts, and set your Parental Controls as desired. You can also find the Parental Controls settings in the System Preferences as well.
So once each User account is established, you can copy over only the information for them (i.e. contacts, iCal events, iTunes music, etc).
Set up to sync their iOS devices with iTunes with their information on their User accounts, with their own separate Apple IDs, and everything should work smoothly.

Question re: iCloud with different family members using same AppleID

Ok, here's the scenario... Everyone in the family is using the same AppleID for iTunes. Is there a way to set up iCloud so, for instance, my son sends a document or song to iCloud from his iPhone it only gets pushed down to his Macbook and doesn't go to my devices, and vice versa. My guess is I will need to create seperate iTunes accounts for everyone, but don't really prefer doing that. Would that be the best solution, though?

Same situation here. I use a gmail address for apple id. A set of instructions would be nice Apple.

Firefox is my default browser. I use IE8 at times because some of my programs only open in IE. Family members use IE.

All of a sudden I can't access IE. When I try to, instead of the browser opening up, a file window comes up which is a file download and it asks if I want to save it. Weird! The name is: msn_com.htm. The Type: Firefox HTML Document. From: www.msn.com. You can only save or cancel. In effect, I can't access IE.
I also have some files on my computer that should only open on my desktop, but that same file comes up. Also, I can't access my AOL account from my desktop. The window where you put in your PW flashes for a second and disappears.
I don't know if this is a FF or IE problem. Hopefully someone out there knows what this is.

Hi 20fox12, this is most likely an IE problem. Firefox has no effect on any other installed applications. Unfortunately I have no idea what to do about your issue. I'd suggest a forum that is more tuned towards Windows issues.

How can multiple family members use one account?

My children have iphones, ipads, ipods and mac books, my problem is how do you use home sharing with the devices and not get each others data. My Husband just added his iphone to the account and got all of my daughters contacts. I understand they could have there own accounts but if i buy music on itunes and both children want the same song, I don't feel i should have to pay for it twice. Is there away we can have home sharing on the devices and they can pick and choose what they want? and is this icloud going to make it harder to keep their devices seperate?

Share folder with some family members

Hello,
I have one Imac with several users (wife and kids). I like to share some data with my wife without access by the kids. That means I want to have a folder, where both of us can save files and have read/write access to the files. It seems difficult, that files inherit the rights from an given folder.
What I managed to get was: administrator is changing the rights of the existing files and both have read/write access. BUT if a new file is added, only the person how added the file had read/write access. So I as Administrator have to change the rights anew.
What do I have to do, to pass the rights of the folder to new generated files?
Does anyone know a solution?

Just change your iPhone's sync settings -- with your iPhone connected to iTunes, click on the Apps tab and choose to sync only selected apps, then choose the ones you want loaded. You can also drag and drop them to where you want them on your iPhone.

HT5225 What will happen to added mail accounts my family members use? None of them meet the system requirements.

I have a family account on MobileMe. Only I have a Mac that meets the system requireent, and the other four does not. What will happen to the other four MobilMe accounts after I move to iCloud? Thank you.
Max

They will each need to have a Mac with Lion 10.7.2 or later installed and configure their own separate iCloud account.

Thinking about upgrading to Mountain Lion. Family members use different devices, but all on one apple account.

Will we be able to view our individual facebook accounts on our individual devices, all have our individual games with Mountain Lion or will it automatically synchronise to the same thing? If so, what do we need to do to separate our devices? Would we have to purchase separate Mountain Lions for each device if we did separate them?
