Wifi and Password Protected Hot Spots

I'm one of the many who will be buying an iPod Touch!! But I just wanted to know if you will be able to access Wifi in places where you need a password to access the Internet, such as in universities. I saw the unveiling of the new iPods and I'm pretty sure he mentioned something about him not liking the fact that you need a password to access the Internet in certain places. So did he say that you will be able to use Wifi on the iPod touch even without a password? Thanks!!

Go back an listen to what Steve said again, because you did not listen carefully.
He said that many devices that use the internet have issues because you need to enter passwords to access hotspots and because these devices don't have a full internet browser you can't enter the details. What the iPod touch provides is a full internet browser (Safari) and that allows you to enter the login details for internet hot spots. See the difference?
So you can use password protected hot spots, you need to enter the password and the iPod touch using Safari allows you to do that.
Simple!

Mavericks and password protected WiFi

I upgraded to Mavericks on early 2011 MacBook Pro 13 inch. My basic WPA(2) is working fine.
However I tried to connect to password protected WiFi on inflight GoGo internet and the hotel internet and neither would bring up the webpage to login.
The WiFi in the menu bar showed it was connected and NO ! mark so no apparent problem. I tried Safari, Chrome and Firefox. I had not previously tried to connect to GoGo but had previously used the hotel WiFi

I have been a loyal customer for years and have a hot spot because internet options are very limited in our rural area. I have stayed with 10G since the beginning. Most months I don't use the 10G. Verizon has no problem with me paying for Data I don't use. This month my daughter comes home from College and she accidentally uses 24G.....14 over get blind sided with $140.00 in overages. I called Verizon today......stopped in to the store today......My neighbor told me they waved charges for her one time. Lots of charges.....But I'm am getting no help. Not even an offer of a payment plan to help me out. I went back just 6 months and I have over paid for 19G.....Seems like they would like to help out their loyal customers!!!! Does anybody have any suggestions on how to deal with them? We are not wealthy....or I would just pay this and walk away......

There is a big misconception in what customers believe a cell carrier is obligated to do.
You pay a set price to use up to that amount of xx data. It makes no difference if you use it to the paid limit or way under. Its like peace of mind when you don't have to worry about a data counter.
Your daughter used the data, your plan is quite clear of what overage charges are. Why should or would Verizon wireless just forgive the charges because you are a customer? Your daughter used the data, get the money from her. That is the responsible thing to do.
There is no "I have been a loyal customer so please remove the $120, or $250, or $2,000.00 since I did not mean to use it"
Your electric company, or gas company or any other company does not remove valid charges. Why should Verizon wireless?
Just pay the invoice and don't think you are being mistreated because Verizon is a business and not a charity.
Good Luck

I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features? I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

How do i personalize it and password protect it?

My internet works, I was trying to set up my new airport extreme and my computer froze in the process and now it works but the light blinks amber and its an open network connection that anyone can connect to. I tried a factory reset, but it won't go back to the easy setup process like the first time. It just opens and my computer connects. Any thoughts for how to rename the network and password protect it?

To rename the Network Name: AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless tab > Wireless Network Name
To enable wireless security: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless tab > Wireless Security. I would recommend using "WPA2 Personal" for the security type.

Hi,
I have a requirement to generate and password protect a pdf using a Microsoft access application (version 2007).

Yes, you can write a plugin for Acrobat.

Is it possible to lock a layer within a document and password protect that specific layer?

Is it possible to lock a layer within a document and password protect that specific layer?

As stated, no way to do exactly what you want, but an option might be to turn OFF Visibility for that Layer, if you do not want it seen, and then Flatten, and do a Save_As.
If you do want that Layer seen, but not able to be edited, then Flatten, with Visibility ON, and Save_As.
The question is, do you want the recipient to see that Layer, or not?
Next, Do they need to be able to edit all other Layers, but just not that one?
Last, what type of Layer is it?
Good luck,
Hunt

Stolen iPad is off and password protected.

My iPad was stolen and is password protected. Is there a way I can remotely turn it on. Find my iPad won't work if it is not connected to a wifi or 3G network. I figure someone out there has figured this out. If you can remotely turn it off, someone must have figured out how to remotely turn it on.

Yes, it can easily be restored without someone knowing the screenlock passcode.
Sorry, but there is no way to turn on an iPad remotely. If it's just asleep, you can if you have access to another iOS device such as an iPhone try sending an email, iMessage or Facetime request and perhaps you could hear the announcement of the message and locate it that way. But if it's off, or not connected to a WiFi 3G network, there's nothing you can do.
Regards.

Can I disable WiFi or password protect Safari on my teenagers iPhone?

My 14 year old daughter has discovered MySpace! Not allowed in our home. We password protected our home iMac and had AT&T disable the EDGE data feature on her iPhone but she's using WiFi (on the iPhone, at home) to get to get around our efforts.
So my question is is there a way to password protect Safari on the iPhone? Just turning off the WiFi won't work because she knows how to turn it back on.

Do you not want her to have access to just MySpace, or the internet in general? If it is the Internet, you could block the iPhones MAC on the router. However, I question why you got her the iPhone in the first place. MySpace is a bit iffy, Facebook, less, but still iffy. I am 18 myself, so I know a bit how it is, having grown up in the time MySpace has grown in popularity. I really would hate to give out parenting advice as I am far from being one. Take it as more of advice from somebody who finally appreciates the restrictions my parents placed on me when I was that age.
While blocking is good, it is also very important to teach them safety. Like many people have said, kids are devious, they will find a way. If her friends are on MySpace, she will find a way. Trust me, schools blocking it doesn't even help is stopping it. Teach online safety. One thing I have heard is allowing them to be on MySpace, but making them ad YOU as a friend allowing you to somewhat monitor who they friend and such. Someone also mentioned that fact that Version 2.0 is supposed to have Parental Controls. I would assume that would allow the things you have described. We can only hope they port from Leopard and allow times and such to be added.
Quick question, do YOU have an iPhone?

File sharing on mac and password protecting?

Hi
I am trying to share pictures from my imac onto the home network so everyone connected to my wifi can access them,
I am running a mid 2011 imac with mountain lion
Ive selected the folder to be shared from system preferences, but is there any way to password protect it so i have more control over who in my network i allow to access it?
I hope i do not have to start forking out for more expensive equipment,
PLEASE HELP

It is password protected based on who you shared it out to.
For those who have accounts on your Mac, you can share it to them. They must log in as themselves and then will have access.
For those that don't have an account, or if you wish to limit everyone, just create a Sharing Only user (New Person in the Sharing prefs). Everyone will have to log in as that user to gain access to the folder.

DELETING FILES PERMAMNENTLY FROM HARD DRIVE AND PASSWORD PROTECTING

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO PERMANENTLY DELETE FILES FROM THE HARD DRIVE? ALSO, WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO ADD A PASSWORD TO A FOLDER?
THANKS!

#1) Please check your caps lock key which seems to be on and many perceive as shouting your questions.
#2) Use secure empty trash when you want secure deleting.
#3) There isn't a folder password feature. There's a utility which will let you hide folders with a password, but that is easily circumvented. Then there's making password protected, encrypted image files. The second is very secure but it isn't a folder, it appears as a new volume on your desktop.

IWeb Url Username and Password protection problem

After renewing a GoDaddy site and re-forwarding an already created iWeb site, I now get a .Mac required User Name and Password. What happened.? I just re-forwarded the url string that was already there on my .mac server.

Hi Robert
I am no expert but I just did a web site as well. If you want to protect it in IWEB click on your welcome page and at the bottom of the page you have a menu selection click on the icon for the inspector. looks like an italizised I then click over the menu option at the top of that that says password. you should be able to do it that way. good luck marty

IPod Touch Frozen and password protected

I charged it just last night on a wall outlet extension, unplugged it and it is stuck on the iTunes connection with the USB cord picture. I tried restarting it, that doesn't do a thing, and I can not restore it or connect it to iTunes because of the password protection.

Okay...have you tried a reset of the iPod?
You may need to reset. Note: Only reset your iPhone or iPod touch if it is no longer responding.
To reset
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Xserve, Windows 7 and password protected files

I have a Late 2006 Xserve running Sever OS 10.4.11 and I'm having a heck of a time connecting to any password protected files. For example, I can go "Map Network Drive", add the "Users" (\\xserve\Users\) folder and then access any unprotected folders within that directory (lets call them Bob and Tom), but not any of the password protected files (lets call that user Mike)
If I click on the Bob or Tom folders (under "Users") it lets me in, no problem.
If I click on the Mike folder (also mapped under "Users"), it says I don't have the correct access privileges. It's a straight up denial, no prompt for alternative login info.
My first thought was this; go "Map Network Drive" and map the Mike folder directly (\\xserver\Users\Mike), but use the correct login info (username/pass). It prompts me for the username and password. HERES WHERE I'M STUCK! No matter what I put for the username and password, it denies me. I've tried resetting the password (through the server interface), then sucesfully logged in using my MacBook Pro (using the exact same username/password I had been trying with Win-doze)
Again, I can connect to most of server files and folders from the Windows 7 machine (after following the "Set value to 'Send LM & NTLM' " procedure suggested by Vocal Jazz Fan on these forums. BIG THANK YOU!)
So, is this impossible to fix? Is it just the nature of the beast running Windows machines on a Mac server? Why is it only these protected files that I can't access? That seems so strange to me.
For a background, we had previously used Windows XP and logged into these folders with no problems.
Note: this server is at a community center and thus has very limited funds and computer expertise, hence the reason we're two full OS's behind. If we cannot get this to work, we're prepared to hire some server jockeys to completely overhaul our server (run Windows on our Xserve hardware), which will take 2-3 days at about $120 an hour. Please help!

I'd spend a few of those US$120 per hour hours with a Snow Leopard Server upgrade, as the software has matured substantially from Tiger Server to Leopard Server to Snow Leopard Server.
[Here are my crib notes for getting Windows to work with Mac OS X Server (Snow Leopard Server)|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1590], which might be useful as a starting point.
With those Windows registry keys as search targets, there are a number of discussions of getting Samba password-protected shares to work with Windows and Windows 7 boxes posted around the network, both at Microsoft and via the Samba mailing lists.
These cases sometimes get as far as running Wireshark and dumping the network traffic, too.
