Windows laptops wireless access to the Internet and not to any of my files?

TC late 2008. I want to give Windows laptops wireless access to the Internet and not to any of my files? I have tried to locate "Guest" accounts in my Airport Utility with no luck and I do not understand my options. Example: Could I add a Linksys Wireless-G Cable Gateway router before or after my TC and not have a security problem?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Guest networking requires a "simultaneous dual-band" AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule. Those weren't introduced until 2009.
Are the files you want to protect on your Time Capsule or on your Mac? You can protect files on your Time Capsule with a password. In AirPort Utility look at the Disks panel, File Sharing tab.

Why can one mac access the internet and not the other?

Hi I have just installed a 2nd generation Airport Express base station. I have setup a network and I can connect to it to access the web. Here's the rub, only my Macbook Pro can connect. My Macbook Air cannot connect? A weird error message says (translated from Swedish): Airport has the selfapplied/selfselected IP adress 169.254.67.130 and will not be able to connect to the internet.
Why can one mac access the internet and not the other? Is there something simple that I can do to get more macs to be able to use my Airport Express to access the internet?
Tech details:
Airport Express 2nd generation (just purchased) model 1392
Macbook Pro running 10.8.2
MacBook Air running 10.6.8

It seems the Airbook assigns a dummy IP address so somehow it doesn't reach and receive an IP from the Express. I deleted the previous Express setting restarted the Air connected again, restarted the modem, restarted the Express nothing....
I spoke to the internet provider and the cable modem does not require any username or pw. from the modem to the cable it's one public ip, pure internet is flowing from the modem to the Express but the express doesn't seem to assign any IP address apart from the one assigned to the Macbook Pro.
Do you need a screendump of the settings on the functioning Mac or the faulty one? What settings are you interested in i.e. which tab should it shot?

My Macbook Pro doesnt seem to connect to my Belkin wireless router. It is connected but the internet would not work. any suggestions?

hey guys. I am having trouble with my internet. My MacBook Pro seems to be connected with Belkin wireless router, but the internet would not work. We recently changed the router so its pretty new, and it used to work on my HP laptop. Although there were some problems, it still worked. But now, the internet works and stops suddenly, and then works again.
I would love to hear some suggestions to get rid of this.
Thanks
Kiran

If you have not already done so, read the troubleshooting section in Belkin's user manual, contact their customer tech support by phone or go to its website. Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue. Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses. This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried. Thank you.

How can I lock access to Firefox so that only I can fo on the internet and not other users of my computer?

I have a computer which I let several other people use, but I don't want them to have access to the internet. I would like to see if there is a "lock" choice so that no one else can access the internet - or another means? I've tried to select "Lock" to the whole computer (when it gives you the "lock," "shut down," "sleep," etc. choices - and it says the computer is locked but the next time I try it it opens the computer (and internet) just like it never was "locked" so I don't even know how to effectively lock the whole computer either as a second option to block access ot the internet!

I had the same problem (issue with Google Apps and XUL runner etc) of needing to downgrade. To pull it off I went to the main Firefox download page (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/) and followed the link to OTHER SYSTEMS AND LANGUAGES which took me to a page that included a link on the right hand side to download Firefox 3.6.16.
(The stuff below pertains to Windows. If you are on a different OS your steps will vary)
To do the actual downgrade (and there may be some other steps that would be wise to take but this is what worked for me) I merely renamed "c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox" to "c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox bad" (in case I want to try troubleshooting the issue later) and then ran the "Firefox Setup 3.6.16.exe" file that downloaded from that link. That solved my problem and I'm back and running 3.6.16.
In case you don't feel comfortable changing things in your Program Files directory you might try a different approach and try uninstalling via the Control Panel and Add and Remove Programs (or whatever it is called on the version of Windows you are on) and then running the installation file. I didn't go that route so I can't tell you how well that might work.

My laptop has access to the internet...through my router. my i phone though it says it's connected to internet will not pick up internet. three people came over with apple prodcuts and they couldn't pickup internet in my house either.

My I phone though it says it's connected to internet in my home (using my modem/router) will not pick up any internet in the house.

Is it a 5ghz router?
If so, iPhones only support the 2.4ghz Wireless b/g/n band.

Two new songs I added to my iTunes library won't download on my phone. Next to the song is a dotted circle. Is this because it's from the internet and not from the iTunes store?

Is this happening to anyone else?

If you cannot find the file on your hard drive then once you delete the current broken entry you should be able to redownload from iTunes in the Cloud. This assumes the item in question qualifies. Note that audiobooks, digital booklets, iTunes LPs & Extras, ringtones, selected movies etc. don't.
If prompted don't hide the item. You may find that you need to close and then reopen iTunes before it will appear for download.

I need to work on an iMovie I already started on one Mac, but want to finish it on my new Mac. How can I transfer the movie and not lose any formatting?

What do I do?

Hi
You need an external hard disk to do this.
(No I don't think USB-memory will do)
• Should be a FireWire one (as USB/USB2 performs badly to me)
• MUST BE - Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will not work for VIDEO
All moving of Projects and Events - MUST be done Within iMovie application - NOT on DeskTop/Finder (else a great risk that iMovie loses track of them and You get a project that do not work OK)
• In iMovie Project window - Move over Project over to the New External Hard Disk - And it will ask if You want a Copy (I would)
• If Event's is not moved - Then in Events window - move the needed ones over too
Now - If You used Photos and Audio from iPhoto or iTunes or from folder on Mac - then copy this over too. So that You've got all needed material copied to tne new ext. HD.
Then connect it to Your other Mac and move things wher You want them to be.
Yours Bengt W

Enable ESS over the internet but not the MSS

Hello gurus!!!
I have a few questions that I need to get clarified. We have a Portal server and we installed ESS and MSS business packages on it. Now, our requirement is that we just need to expose ESS applications over the internet and not the MSS applications. When a user gets logged into the portal, the user might be assigned a MSS role and also an ESS role. But when this user tries to login to the portal away from work (ie over the internet), the user should be denied access to the MSS applications but should be allowed to access only the ESS applications.
How can we enable this on one portal server?
Thanks a lot!!

I know its not my Network or ISP because I have RealVNC Enterprise connecting with no issues internally nor outside of my network and it uses the same VNC port 5900 so it can't be that.
ARD only uses port 5900 for observation and control. For other functions ARD uses port 3283. So you may need to open and forward that port as well, or verify that your ISP and other locations aren't blocking.
Regards.

Successfully set up TC (the latest one) for MBP. I can access to TC wirelessly. Tried to access from my PC too but PC does not even detect TC (as storage), while PC is connected in the same network and can access to the internet. Anything missed?

Load the airport utility for windows.. it has several parts.. the key one is bonjour for windows which helps windows find apple network devices.
The TC should also be setup with names that windows can use.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
So Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule
Is not a valid windows name.
TCgen5 is.

HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

Why can't I access the internet and everyone in my house can?

My laptop was getting signal since I moved into this house in the Summer. I went home to LA for a few days and when I came back one of my housemates got a new modem. Everyone else's laptop work(including 3 other mac book owners) fine but I cannot get access to the internet. What do I need to change or do? Im not so great with technology but I tried different options, she took off and on the password from the wireless internet and nothing. As well, I noticed 2 other icons at the top of my laptop next to the battery life icon..One looks rectangular and black..and the other one looks like this <.....>. Weeks have passed by and I'm just getting tired of having only access to the internet in school.
Thanks! Hope someone can help me because I need it for school.

What did not work?
Did the airport router you are trying to connect to not show up under the airport symbol in the menubar?
If it did show up, did it have any symbols by it like a padlock for instance?
In other words, exactly what did you do and exactly what did you experience?
If your Mac does not even list the router in the menubar under the icon/symbol (triangle with curved lines, supposed to appear to be radio waves radiating) then the router may have a setting set that does not allow it to be seen except to computers with MAC addresses that have been entered into it as allowable. If this is the case then your MAC address will have to be entered into the router's list. MAC stands for Media Access Control. "Mac" is the abbreviation for Macintosh.
The fact that you mention you have two new symbols in your menu bar suggests that someone has been playing with the computer and making changes that you are unaware of. If this is the case then there are many possibilities for problems.
The fact is, a Mac fresh out of the box will see any router within range and connect to it unless the router requires a password or the router has Access Control set such that it cannot be seen by a computer that does not exist in its 'OK' list. Since yours works at school, that rules out a hardware or problem or most software problems with your computer. But networking is complicated enough that you have to be quite specific when you try to tell others what you have tried and what results you got.
