Turn off internet sharing.

Now My Ibook says my internet sharing in on but in my sharing folder under internet is says it is off. How can I resolve and get back to my reg. network??

I've got a similar problem - but can't find where to delete the computer-to-computer network. I've deleted some locations (foolishly perhaps)... but am in a bit of a muddle.
I created the computer to computer network before setting up airport properly on my powermac - which was stupid - but now both my laptops are working fine (using airport to connect to the internet), but the powermac won't work at all with the airport. It says that internet sharing is on in the status bar, but off when in preferences. And even on, it won't share the internet with the others and neither can i use airport admin or airport utility - because of this internet sharing problem.
is there any way i can start again?
help!

Can't turn off internet sharing

My brand new MacBook Pro has been working perfectly--until out of the blue internet sharing turns on everytime I boot up. I have never used internet sharing and certainly don't want to now, because I can't use my wireless network with it on.
My internet connection has been working flawlessly and I made no changes whatsoever (it simply was on once after booting up, and now is on forever), but I CAN'T turn off internet sharing. In my internet sharing preference panel it says that internet sharing is already off, but my airport menu bar says it is on. This is becoming most irritating. Any suggestions?

Are you sure this is not just a neighbour's wireless network?

Can I use iPod Touch Wifi & Airtunes,without switching off Internet Sharing

I've got an Aiport Express connected to my stereo to stream my music library via Airtunes. It is away from my computer and does not have an internet connection hardwired to it. I would like to be able to use my iPod Touch to connect to the Airport Express, which would then wirelessly connect to the Airport Card in my mac, thus allowing the Touch to share the internet of my main computer.
Currently I can connect my Touch to the Airport card in my computer by turning on Internet Sharing, but when I do this, I lose the ability to stream my music to my Airport Express.
Can I somehow configure to stream music from my base computer AND surf the internet on my Touch via the Airport Express' wifi connection?
Thanks for any help!

Thanks Scott, Was thinking that might be the case, but was hopeful.
So, if I accept the fact that I can't use Airport Express to share internet that way, how about this related issue? I can connect my Touch by wifi to my computer's Airport Card by turning on Internet Sharing. However, when I do this I can no longer stream music from my computer's iTunes to my Airport Express connected to my stereo. The remote speakers disappear from the iTunes selection box. In order to get them back, I have to turn off internet sharing. And then Touch wifi stops working. Is there a reason that only once function would work at a time? Or do I have something configured incorrectly?
Thanks!

Disabling auto switch off Internet Sharing Lumia 7...

Is there anyway to disable the auto switch off of the auto switch off feature of the Internet Sharing on the Lumia 710?
The reason I ask, is that I want to set this up as my main Internet connection at home using the Three UK One Plan Unlimited Data plan with the phone linked via Internet Shaing to a range extender which all my family can then connect to but the Internet Sharing keeps switching off after a few minutes of inactivity.
This is obviously really annoying as I then have to go upstairs and turn on Internet Sharing again.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are two things you can try:
1) Keep the AC cable plugged in. It will not shut down WiFi when connected to AC, as the shutting down is a powermanagement feature as I understood.
2) Keep the screen on (unverified, just a thing you can try to keep the lock timeout to 'forever'. I believe this is related to the powermanagement as well.)

Yes, I have also tried and failed when setting up Home Sharing. I have followed the instruction given on the Support website, but this is all I see:
Both computers are on the same local network and both allow Home Sharing and are signed in with the same user name. I am not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?

HT4527 The computer that has my i Tunes library has crashed, How do I turn off Home Sharing on this computer and tranfer my files to another computer?

How do i turn off home sharing and transfer my ITunes library to another computer?

Your music will only be where you put it. You can download the itunes program and sign into your account on any computer, but your music/content will not be there unless you put it there.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. File>Transfer Purchases

HT202213 Have newest version of ITunes and a new AppleTV. ITunes File Home Sharing only shows option to turn off home sharing. No home sharing icon and Apple TV claims home sharing is not turned on. Where is this advanced menu?

Cannot get home sharing to work with my new apple TV. Have the latest version of ITunes and the apple TV is connected to my wi-fi network. The instruction page says to go to the Advanced menu option of ITunes and choose Home Sharing. This option does not exist. The closest I can find is under the File option>Home Sharing where my only option is to turn off home sharing. There is no home sharing icon and Apple TV insist that the home sharing is not turned on.
I must be missing something obvious here.

How do I turn off internet recovery in Mountain Lion?

I need to turn off internet recovery in Mountain Lion. The reason is if you use internet recovery you can access safari and although parental controls are on, internet is unmonitored. I want to ensure my MBP is secure from the darker parts of the internet and thus I don't want there to be any unmonitored internet access.
Is there a way to turn off internet recovery or is it hardwired into Mounatin Lion?

Open firmware password may be the way to do it. Mind you, a clever enough person can bypass that, but it takes more effort than it usually is worth. Put a hidden camera in the room if you are worried something will happen, and backup the data only when you are present. And if you forget the open firmware password, you may have locked yourself out for good anyway.

Can I turn off home sharing for other computers from my own?

I recently got a new computer and would like to add my music library to it. When I try to enable home sharing a message pops up stating that I already have 5 computers on my home sharing network. I don't have all of the 5 computers because some have broken and so my question is that, is there any way for me to turn off home sharing for those computers from my own?

No such thing is possible via iTunes.
What is possible is deathorizing all computers and then authorize only the one's that you have access to.

As far as I know you don't need to turn off home sharing as such, however you will have lost one of the 5 "authorizations". You can't release these individually unless you are running iTunes on the authorized operating system you want to deauthorize.
You will have to wait until you have 5 authorizations, at which point you can clear them all and start over, reauthorizing the machines you want to.

Finder crashes when I turn off File Sharing in a Shared Mac

Hi,
Situation: I have 2 laptops: a Macbook Pro Retina and a Black Macbook (ca. 2008, Snow Leopard). I have turned on File Sharing on both ever since and enjoyed being able to transfer files from one to another.
Lately, whenever I turn off File Sharing in my Black MB, turn it off, or basically use my MBP retina without being connected to my Black MB thru File Sharing, the Finder of MBPR is extremely slow. Every time I open a new window, open a folder, or switch tabs in the sidebar, it is extremely sluggish.
However, once I turn File Sharing back on in my Black MB (or pretty much whenever I get connected to my Black MB), everything is back to normal.
Also, even when I "eject" my Black MB from the "Shared" list in my MBPr, MBPr automatically reconnects to Black MB.
Any ideas on why this happen?
Things I've tried:
1. Clean caches
2. Restarted PRAM
3. Reinstalled OS X ML
Same result.

The next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped during that interval. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Can't turn off printer sharing in 10.4.7

I came in this morning to check on my lab computers and noticed a ton of duplicate printers on my network. I narrowed it down to a single computer, but I can't seem to turn off Printer Sharing in System Preferences. The only thing I changed recently was upgrade/install the latest version of CUPS.
Any suggestions on how I can turn off Printer Sharing? Is there a command line cmd to turn it off?

Just to make sure you didn't overlook the obvious (we all do it more often than we care to admit). Can you toggle the other services in the Sharing pane? Perhaps you just need to click on the padlock and authenticate before you can make changes.
Second thing to try. Make sure System Preferences is not open. Look in the user's Home folder/Library/Caches. Find a cache item com.apple.preferencepanes.cache. Delete this item. Log the user out and log back in. Now open System Preferences and see if you can make the changes.
Third thing to try. Here are the items that get changed in the /etc/cups/cupds.conf file when you turn Printer Sharing OFF---
line 55 becomes
ServerName 127.0.0.1
lines 453 and 454 become
#Port 631
Listen 127.0.0.1:631
line 581 becomes
#BrowseAddress @LOCAL
line 635 becomes
BrowseInterval 0
line 826 Allow From @LOCAL
is deleted and the block from line 822 through 826 becomes
<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>
All these changes are taken from a modification of the default cupsd.conf as supplied with the version of CUPS Apple supplies with Tiger. The cupsd.conf that comes with version 1.2.x is most likely different. You will have to do some comparison and interpretation.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: Don't forget to recycle the cupsd whenever you make a change to the configuration file.
sudo killall -HUP cupsd

How do your turn off home sharing on a ipod

I have to iPods and I would like to turn off home sharing off how can I turn it off

Welcome to the Apple Community.It isn't home sharing that matters here. I suspect you are wanting to either de authorise a computer or remove a associated device from your ID, you can do both of these in your iTunes account settings on a computer.

Use 2nd gen apple tv and remote control app on iphones and ipad. We can control some functions on the apple tv but unable to purchase, access such controls as reset, restart, turn off home sharing, etc. Home sharing stuck on old apple ID. Please help.

That is why I said to restore via iTunes, did you check the link?
This will put it back to factory settings and you can set it up with the new ID once you reconnect with your HDTV. This is not done via ethernet, as per the link you need to connect to the computer via micro usb. You cannot bypass home sharing.
FYI: An Apple ID cannot be deleted so the old one would still exist (even if you no longer use the email account it is associated with).

Turn off internet sharing.
