How can I create a new TC backup with ethernet, so I don't have to wait two days for a new wireless backup?

How can I create a new TC backup with ethernet, so I don't have to wait two days for a new wireless backup?
Several times in the last year, I've gotten a message that Time Machine needs to completely redo my backup. Using the wireless connection, this takes almost two days. Is there a way to do the backup with ethernet and then switch back to wireless? Thanks.

May I know what is needed to make sure the MacBook is able to see Time Capsule on ethernet?
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2Wire gateway to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule.
If AirPort Utility cannot "see" the Time Capsule now, you will need to perform a "hard reset" by holding in the reset button for 7-8 seconds or so and then reconfigure the Time Capsule. You can use the same Time Capsule name and password, etc. as before.
Configure the Time Capsule to "Create a wireless network" and select the Bridge Mode option when it appears during the setup using AirPort Utility.
Once the Time Capsule is configured, restart the entire network again. Power down everything, start the 2Wire first and then start each other device after that one at a time about a minute apart.
Now you can connect your Mac directly to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule for the backup using another Ethernet cable. In general, about 20-25 GB per hour will transfer.
The Time Capsule will broadcast a much faster wireless network than the 2Wire can provide, so you might want to leave the setup "as is" for awhile after the first backup is complete. If you decide to use the Time Capsule as your main wireless access point, you would want to turn the wireless off on the 2Wire since two wireless networks in close proximity can create interference problems.
Or, if you want to use the wireless on the 2Wire, you could turn off the wireless on the Time Capsule. Then backups will occur over the 2Wire wireless, or over Ethernet.
I don't really recommend the "Join a wireless network" setting on the Time Capsule for most users, but you could go back to that setup as well if you want after the first backup is complete.

  • How can I update Dreamweaver 8  to 8.0.2 if I don't have the  .MSI file?

    How can I update Dreamweaver 8  to 8.0.2 if I don't have the  .MSI file?  I have moved this old copy to newer computer/operating system and don't have all the original discs and things.

    I'm very skeptical about that as I have dozens of Registry entries associated with my older DW installation.
    Still trying to assist anyway. Check this thread for a reported successful resolution

    Also try this:
    Download the unwrapped 8.0.2 update from Adobe: http://kb2.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/ts/documents/kb400150/DW802_unwrapped.zip
    Extract the files into a root directory. There should be only one MSI file.
    Open an administrator privilaged command prompt by typing in the Start menu "Command" and right clicking the "Command Prompt" option and selecting "Run as Administrator"
    Navigate to the directory you extracted the files to using the CD command
    Once in the directory with the MSI file run the following command: msiexec /update patchpackage.msp
    Step through the installer, and everything should be fine, open Dream Weaver and go to Help -> About to verify the patch installed.

  • Hi. How can I delete my icloud account on my iPhone? I don't have that email address I was using anymore. I tried deleting it but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

    Hi, How can I delete my icloud account on my iphone? I don't have that email address I was using before anymore and I already tried deleting the account but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

    Hi ale.vica,
    You need to go to Manage your Apple ID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, and sign in with your current Apple ID and password and do the following:
    1.     Edit your current Apple ID and change it back to the ID which is displaying for your iCloud account. You do not need to verify it - this is only a temporary change
    2.     Go into Settings>iCloud on your device and delete the iCloud account. Use your current password when your are prompted for a password
    3.     Once the old iCloud account is deleted, go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to the current one
    4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current ID and password
    That should take care of your issue!
    Cheers,

    Use Google and find some other unofficial copy. This is not supported by Apple (downgrading that is) and purely at your own risk. If you end up with one that has spyware, etc., it will be entirely your problem.

  • I don't have any type of insurance for my new iPhone 5. I bought it on Friday, December 7, 2012

    I don't have any type of insurance for my new iPhone 5. I bought it on Friday, December 7, 2012. Will I be able to exchange it for a new charger?

    You can purchase AppleCare+ for your iPhone, but you must do within a month of purchasing it.

    If something is wrong with it, Apple will either fix it or replace it under warranty. You do not have to purchase any "insurance" for that.

    Hello GG RA,
    which fileformat do you want to use (binary or ASCII)?
    There are some LabVIEW shipping examples for File I/O
    You could use the LabVIEW NI Example Finder (Help --> Find Examples..(search item "file")) to get an overview about the different file-formats in LabVIEW.
    Hope this helped out and feel free to reply if you have more questions about File I/O in LabVIEW
    Best regards

  • How can I create public AND private access with a wireless VPN router?

    I am thinking about getting one of the new pre-n wireless routers that has a builtin VPN.  I will need to have a private net for my office and a public net for my customers.  On the private side- my employees will need to access all network resources and servers etc.  On the public side, my customers just need to get to the Internet and maybe print on that side too.
    Both sides will be DHCP.
    Can I set this up with 1 device ro do I need 2?  How can I do this?  Any help is greatlu appreciated.
    Thanks all.
    Message Edited by Gman on 10-14-200607:08 PM

    The only safe way to do this is to creat user groups On your server and give specific assess to the users who log into the network.
    Using a single router , bifurcating a public from a private network is not possible.You will not be able to use the VPN since the users hav e to be connected to the VPN to log into your network.

  • How can I create a stop animation video with single images in Premiere Pro?

    Let me start off by saying I am 100% new to pretty much all Adobe software as of about 3 weeks ago. I have been doing a lot of googling these past few weeks. With that said, I will do my best to explain my question.
    I am making a stop motion animated video.  I am not using several photos to create the look, but rather single photoshopped images that I have deleted the backgrounds out of. Basically the video is single charms "crawling" or flying in individually from off screen into a circle, there is a story explaining what each charm means. I started in After Effects, but had issues with audio... am I right in my understanding that you cannot preview the audio unless you use the preview feature? So my solution was playing a guessing game, rendering/exporting, importing it to Premiere Pro, taking notes and then heading back to After Effects to try to re-do the timing. Obviously this was not working too well.
    Then after doing more googling and clicking around I figured out you could layer images in Premier Pro and make them move just as you would in After Effects, which is great! There are two things hanging me up...
    1. I used the wiggle effect in After Effects. For the life of me I cannot find or figure out an effect or preset similar to this in Premiere Pro. Is there such a thing? Or do I have to create rotation keyframes? (I think I'm using keyframes correctly).
    2. Making the images stop-motiony and not smooth.
    My question is... any suggestions on how to re-create the wiggle effect easily in Premiere Pro? Or is there away to create the effect in After Effects and then import the image into Premiere Pro and still be able to change the position and timing?
    Please help! My deadline is tomorrow by the end of the work day!
    Please forgive me if these are silly questions... go easy on me, I'm soo new! Thanks in advance!

    Thanks so much for the reply!
    I read that... but it doesn't preview the whole thing? It only previews a few seconds and then loops. I tried to figure out how to change the preview settings, but I can't seem to get it to work.

  • How can I create a multi field search with wildcard option

    I've been working on a project which has a MySQL database
    that the user can search by choosing to enter some or all of three
    fields in a form on a PHP page, which then, obviously, relate to
    specific variables and fields in the database.
    Previously I had the default values of the variables as '-1'
    which meant that the results page simply ignored any of the
    variables that hadn't been filled in. However, now that the 8.0.2
    update to Dreamweaver has forced the Type of each variable, it no
    longer ignores those values and so returns no results. In order to
    get a correct result I have to fill in all three, I can't just fill
    in one of the fields.
    What do I have to do to regain the functionality of the
    results page simply ignoring any field that isn't filled in
    (effectively giving a 'any' value)?

    When building SQL statement, leave out the WHERE
    xyzfield=SearchString.
