  Airport Express model A1264

  Airport Utility 5.6.1

  Firmware 7.6.7

  MacBook OS 10.6.8

  Hello, I am trying to sort out why the Airport utility settings are not the same as the settings in system preferences > network > airport.  If I make a change in Airport utility, it does not change the settings in advance under network options in system preferences and vice versa.  Network names are the same and all other parameters, except the IP numbers are different. (Note: when asked to "Join other network" one and only network name I entered comes up.) All this occurred as a result of a new service by satellite being installed in our premises (I'm in Australia and we have a 'NBN Satellite' service).  IP address in system preferences > network seems to be the IP number, I received when the new system has been activated and the computer that is directly connected by ethernet cable to the modem.   The IP address of the Airport utility is the Airport Express IP number.  I guess that the first IP address is correct as I can connect the MacBook to the internet via Airport. To complicate things, it is that I have the additional problem of not being able to join the network using my MacBook Pro (OS utility 10.10.5, Airport 6.3.5). I get a message telling me to another computer is using IP number again xxxxxxxx test this last (or something similar).  I did originally a default zero value through the Airport utility menu using the MacBook (actually several times), but no change in system preferences > network settings. I think I should add the MacBook Pro Airport utility on the MacBook (which I have) to join the network created on the MacBook.   I use the MacBook for the e-mail and the spread of the internet, and the MacBook Pro should be able to join the network for software and other upgrades. The Airport Express has worked without problem for at least 4 years on our old satellite service. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

  I'm trying to sort out why the Airport utility settings are not the same as the settings in system preferences > network > airport.

  Setting affects only the Airport express airport utility. They do not change anything on the computer.

  Setting in the preferences of the computer only affect the computer... They do not change anything on the express.

  IP address in system preferences > network seems to be the IP number, I received when the new system has been activated and the computer that is directly connected by ethernet cable to the modem.

  Are you a public IP address on the computer? In the old system, you most likely have a private IP address.

  The computer really should NOT directly connect a modem... only a modem which has several ethernet ie is actually a router.

  That will tend to make it more difficult to set up the express. The express should plug a pure modem... and then the computer plug in the express. In this case, the express would be the main router. (I don't like this setup but because the Express is not powerful enough for this job). As far as your express is the old N a wireless with a single ethernet port.

  Honestly, do you a favor and buy another router from apple... the extreme... If you can't afford a new Gen6 then buy a Gen5 on ebay... around $60... immensely better.

  The express can then extend the wireless... or just simply do serve airplay etc. as part of the network.

  Tell us what model is the modem (+ router?) provided to you by your ISP?

  And if you get a public IP address or private on the computer directly connected to it. We can work out the rest from there.

  I'm in Melbourne... you can email me direct if you need to. Email is on my website.

  "Your local network" is the computers that are on the same router as you. At home, this is your family.

  to: "computer name" is the name of the computer, they will see.

  Access is provided for items you decide to activate, usually file sharing. For sharing of files, ONLY the items that you specify in the file sharing dialog box details panel is accessible and be only users you EXPLICITLY list by username.

• Why open system preferences for the additional hours of bad screen

  Why the preferences system not open to the main screen. When I click on it and open the system preferences, it goes directly to the security and privacy, every time. It still works perfectly well. I can always click on the upper left button to return to the main screen. It is really annoying that he began to do this.

  I started doing after that I had to change some of the parameters for sharing so that I can get remote access to the work of this Macbook Air to my iMac at home when they are on separate networks.

  Im not sure what triggered the system preferences to do this, but the only reason why I ever went to this screen was to check some settings of the firewall. I don't change not even nothing in there, nor I have stayed there when I closed the system preferences. Nevertheless, I know has this annoying problem.

• Vista firewall and network settings

  Greetings,

  Running Vista Ultimate OS and for the McAfee Security Center security system, providing the Dell system.  Security Center is a brand product (McAfee) Dell.  It includes a firewall.  It is generally not recommended to run two firewalls at the same time on the same system.  In this case, my preference is to disable the Windows Vista firewall and manage only the McAfee Security Center Firewall.

  However, by doing so, effects of undesirable changes in the Windows Vista network configuration.  Specifically, disable the Vista Firewall automatically turns on the discovery network and file sharing in the network settings of Vista, which is not desired.

  The question:

  What is the solution to run Windows Vista with the firewall (Vista) integrated offshore, the McAfee Security Center Firewall and discovery network and settings (network) off the coast of file sharing?

  By the way, my troubleshooting on this has included disable McAfee Firewall to determine if she could be causing a conflict with the firewall and Windows network settings.  Apparently not, because even with McAfee firewall off it is still not possible to disable the Windows Firewall (in this case, No firewall is running) without network discovery and sharing settings being switched automatically on files.

  Again, the goal is to run the McAfee Firewall with the network discovery and parameters (network) off the coast of file sharing and Windows Vista firewall off the coast.

  Thank you-

  Network discovery is enabled or disabled in vista network and sharing Center by activating or deactivating vista firewall rules. You can maybe re-create these rules in the McAfee Firewall, although they will be not be enabled / disabled from the network sharing Center. The following site will show how to display vista firewall rules:
  http://NPR.Freei.me
  Are you sure there is no setting in McAfee to block the sharing of files and network discovery?

  Note: the rules for sharing printers and files, and network discovery are clearly identified in the vista firewall.

  What other hoops should I go through to get this feature going? Thanks in advance for the help...

  The prices your Apple Watch the Mac on the same network Wi - Fi?  Sometimes the shows may use another network - its s trying to find a network, if the iPhone is not available.

  Is your set watch in place with an access code?

  Once you have changed your two-factor authentication, you disconnect from iCloud and vice versa, on the matched iPhone and Mac?

  See the specs here: automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch

  Use Auto unlock with any Mac and Apple Watch that satisfies the requirements of continuity system:

  • Apple Watch (1st generation), Apple Watch series 1 or series 2 Apple Watch using iOS 10

• Why reset network settings affect networks WiFi on my Mac?

  To try to solve issues with AT & T carrier update 24.2 IOS 9.3.2,and reset my network settings by suggestion from Apple If you can not connect to a cellular or cell - data Apple Support Network . As soon as I did, I looked at the WiFi signal on my MacBook Pro of retina disappear; and OS X then prompted me to reenter the information of my WiFi (no known network was available). I then checked my stored WiFi networks, and only attwifi and my work's current access point were (among many others who were already there).

  I enjoyed the convenience of synchronization of my WiFi network on my iPhone and MacBook in recent versions of their operating systems. However, there was no warning that resetting the network settings on my iPhone would eliminate all networks on my MacBook Pro. There is also no warning on the page of the Apple website above of the present.

  Is this a bug I should report? Since there is no mention of this side effect on the Apple documentation, I am inclined to think that it was not intentional.

• Problems of system preferences

  I had this problem for some time. I tried all of the solutions that I can find online, without success. However, I noticed today that when I have open Preferences (Apple menu) system, it says 'Network' at the top rather than 'System Preferences '. It just freezes and finally gives the rotation color wheel, and I am obliged to Com/Opt/Esc out of it.

  Here are the recent logs:

  Please read this message before doing anything.

  This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

  The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

  Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

  Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

  Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

  The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

  Test in safe mode. Same problem?

  After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

• Locked system preferences

  On OSX El Capitan, I'm locked out of the System Preferences window. This has happened while I was trying to activate a backup by the airport. The screen went to the window to the location and froze. Meanwhile, I can backup with Time Machine on the same network of my older MacBook (OS X10.6.8) without problem. Restart the computer and repair the disc using CleanMyMac permissions apply first aid in public services have not helped. I have no idea what to do next.

  Try this. Boot mode safe by pressing the SHIFT key. Give it time to complete the (slower than usual) journal in the process. Then restart normally.

• Does not open the system preferences of the Apple menu

  Anyone know of a good solution for this?

  A few weeks ago I started noticing that I couldn't open my application system preferences in the Apple Menu bar (via the Apple logo > system, or via the WiFi icon Preferences > network, or even Preferences by right-clicking on the desktop to change the desktop background, etc.).

  WHAT WORKS:

  I can open the system preferences if I click directly on the application icon or you try to open it from the dock.

  I can open the app in the Apple menu if I register as another user.

  WHAT DOES NOT WORK:

  The problem does not go away when I restart in mode 'start '.

  The problem does not go away when I run disk utility.

  The problem does not go away when I remove the "Finder" and "System Preferences".plist file in the Preferences folder in the user's library.

  The problem does not go away when I remove the files "Preferences panel" bury of the Cache in the user's library folder.

  The problem does not go away when I zap the PRAM.

  The problem does not go far if I replace the system preferences application from a recent backup.

  I was about to just try and re-install the MacOS, but thought I would try the forums first, since the Apple Support site said that it should not be necessary if the problem is only limited to a user's profile. I found a lot of entries in the forums for this issue dated a few years ago and have tried most of the solutions, but I don't think that you can repair the permissions of the disc more on El Capitan.

  Anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

  Given all of the things you tried that don't work, over time it would take to troubleshoot more, you could restore OS X in 45 minutes to an hour on a broadband connection using OS X Recovery.

  Start your Mac while pressing the command + R keys. From there, you should be able to access the built in utility to verify and repair the disk from startup (if necessary) and OS X using OS X recoveryof restoration.

• El Capitan system preferences grayed out

  Hi, I had a MacBook Air (11 inch, early 2014) Version OS X El Capitan 10.11.2. About a month or two before, my friend run pranked me and put a profile on my computer (the profiles that are in system preferences) and it grayed out some of my preference (Extensions, network, share, and profiles). I tried to remove him, but he repeated to me that he does not know how. I tried to do the thing when you hit NSPrefPaneGroups.xml, but because I'm under El Capitan, I am not able to delete this file because it's a file system or something else. Is there a way to solve this? Help, please!

  Because the computer has been manipulated by a person with unknown intentions, the only course of action is to delete the internal drive, reinstall OS X and only restore your documents from a backup. You then need to install any other software support original or fresh downloads. That's what I recommend.

  If you just want to remove the malicious profile and take your chances that nothing else has been done, see below.

  Back up all data before proceeding.

  These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

  Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

  sudo profile -d

  Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

  Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. I tested these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting.

  You will be asked for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. You can get a warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to display the warning.

  If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.

  Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Test.
