  • Configuring for Wireless Ethernet: Mac OS X
    Configuring for Wireless Ethernet: Mac OS X Step 1: Install the Airport Card Install your Airport card and software according to Apple’s directions. If the Airport Setup Assistant window appears, you can simply close it by clicking in the close box in the upper left corner of the window. You do not need to use the Airport Setup Assistant. IMPORTANT: Do NOT set up your Macintosh to be an Airport Software Base Station! Configure the Wireless Card Using Your Wireless Connection Step 2: Using Your Wireless Connection 1.Go to a location on campus where wireless networking is available. 2. Start up your computer and open Applications/Internet Connect. Select Airport from the configuration drop-down menu. (If necessary, turn your Airport card on by selecting Turn Airport On.) Then choose Lehman College from the Network drop-down menu. The length of the colored area in the Signal Level bar indicates the strength of your wireless connection. If you have low signal strength, you may want to move to another location to get better performance 3. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu or click the System Preferences icon in the dock. Click the Network icon to display its options. • Set the Configure drop-down menu to Using DHCP. • Click Apply Now and then select Quit from the System Preferences menu. • Save the changes to your configuration when prompted. Now you can run a network software program such as Netscape Navigator. You should be able to connect to the Internet and browse the Web just as you would with a wired connection.

  • Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
    1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.

  • Greensboro Public Library Computer Services
    Greensboro Public Library Computer Services Wireless Internet Access Guidelines You are invited to explore the Internet using your own wireless enabled device at the Greensboro Public Library. Free internet access is provided at all Greensboro Public Library locations at all times the Library is open. Wireless internet access uses radio frequency signals to move information between your laptop computer and the internet (no cables are required.) This allows you to bring in your own mobile device, get Internet access and print from said device. It also allows the Library to offer more computer access than our existing floor space and wiring currently allows. Use your wireless device at any of the chairs and tables in the Library, rather than just at our normal public computer areas. Setup as: Network name (SSID) is Greensboro Public Library, no password is needed, WEP encryption is off. Limitations and Disclaimers • By using this free wireless service you agree to abide by the Library’s Agreement for Acceptable Computer Use Policy and the Public Library Wi-Fi Internet Access Policy. • Since all information moves over open radio frequencies the Library’s wireless network is NOT SECURE. Any information you enter or display, including e-mail, can potentially be captured by anyone with a wireless device and the appropriate software within several hundred feet. The Library strongly urges you not to enter passwords, PIN numbers, account numbers or other private information while using the wireless network, and cautions that using the wireless network for e-mail may allow other people to read your e- mail. Use VPN’s (Virtual Private Networks) and websites that employ encrypted (https) access if you absolutely must enter personal information, passwords, etc.

  • Macintosh: the Any OS for Schools
    Presenter Raymond G. Harder Pomona CUE Conference May 20,2006 Macintosh: The Any OS for Schools Apple’s OS 10.4 now and 10.5 soon (August, 2006) on the newest Macs running on an Intel Core Duo processor give schools an ideal platform for students or administrators. These computers now have all the advantages of 21 years of Windows developments, 22 years of Apple’s Macintosh developments, and over 30 years of Unix developments on one piece of hardware at a reasonable price point. Schools which require either or both Macintosh or Windows Operating systems for their curricular or administrative needs do not have to maintain separate labs. One piece of hardware can be booted to either Macintosh or Windows natively and without any emulation. All Macintosh OS X or Windows XP software will run on these new machines. Besides the ability to run Windows and OS X software natively, these machines are the perfect platform to run Apple’s new iLife and iWorks suites of software which provide exciting new tools for teachers and students to create Websites, documents, and multi- media creations. The built-in iSight camera and microphone gives these machines the ability to do video and audio broadcasting as well as to create movies for use in Blogs, PodCasts, and DVD based movies. This presentation was an overview of a few of these new tools. During this presentation the following was done live: 1. Ran Windows natively. 2. Created a Website in minutes using a digital camera and pictures of the audience. 3. Uploaded the Web files to a file server on the Internet in seconds by double clicking to launch a two line Unix script.
