Cable and wireless - which connection is used?

Am up/downloading a lot of large files for my clients and would like the most stable internet connection - therefore thinking about hooking my Mac Pro up to the Internet via Ethernet cable. At the same time, I'm using Time Machine and am backing-up my files wirelessly.
If connected both via cable and Wi-Fi, what connection will the Mac Pro use? Would I need to disable Airport in order for it to solely use the cable connection, which would mean I'd need to back-up to the Time Machine manually?

If your TM backup drive is used wirelessly, then you can be on the Internet via Ethernet and backing up wirelessly at the same time. In Network preferences you would need to set Ethernet as your primary connection choice by moving it to the top of the list.

Using Ethernet network and Wireless to connect to ARD

Hi, I am using ARD to connect 2 mac minis, 1 macbook pro and a G4 powerbook. I have been having some serious issues with trying to network them all together. When I connect 3 of the machines using ethernet and an airport extreme everything is fine, but the 4th machine is uncontrollable. It shows up on the scanner but shows up as offline. Has anyone had any luck using a combination of ethernet and wireless? It is all through the same network, but the hope is that the 2 laptops can connect wirelessly to the mac minis.

To avoid confusion in future support threads, you should refer to that as a "router" or "modem/router", rather than simply as a modem.
This configuration works fine, both computers are on the network, get assigned different IP addresses by the DSL Modem, and most of the time can see each other and the internet just fine, as long as the iMac keeps the Network settings that I set, for the IP address of the DSL-Modem router ("xxx.xx.0.1"), but occassionally after a restart it will revert back to using "xxx.xx.1.1" for the router IP address which is not a valid IP address on my LAN.
Why would the iMac try and use the old settings when I specifically set and LOCKED the correct settings?
If the "modem router" is configured to be a DHCP server and if your computers are configured to get their network settings via DHCP (Network panel of System Preferences, "Configure IPv4" set to "Using DHCP"), then in theory you shouldn't have that problem.

HDMI cable and wireless router for bluray

Hi. We just purchased a Samsung Blu-ray player, model BD-C 6500. We want to connect it to our 46" samsung LED TV and stream movies from Netflix. I
was wondering which HDMI cable would be best to use to connect it? We also havea Netgear Rangemax router WPN824 v 2. Will it work or will we need
to get a different one?

Quote That information is not 100% accurate. Although the "Hz" of the cable may not change, not every HDMI can support 'ethernet' passthrough or 3D capabilities. - - - - - But not every TV supports it either. Even cheap cables like those from Blue Jeans cable can and do support ethernet passthrough. I am not sure that 3D capabilities has anything at all to do with the cable. It certainly does not require greater bandwidth or greater overhead, or it cannot be broadcast on a single channel. Also, cheaper cables will have cheaper materials which means the tips can break more often. - - - -- - - Completely irrelevant. With proper care, cheaper cables will not have a higher incidence of "broken tips". I have never had a broken tip on any of my HDMI cables. Having a gold plated tip does allow for a more secure connection along with better soldering. - - - - - Actually, unless the device they plug into has gold plated connectors, then using a gold plated cable can actually promote corrosion in high humidity areas due to the dielectric effect. I know this...I live in Hawaii. I do not use gold plated cables unless the devices at both ends have gold plated connectors. Again, this is high school level stuff. And thirdly, cheaper cables tend to be "thinner" which typically means less insulation or 'shielding'. This ofcourse is a negative side effect when running cables longer lenghts. Can you cite a specific example of "thinner"? "Less Insulation"? "less shielding"? You do realize that since it is a digital signal, crosstalk is not an issue, so therefore shielding is irrelevant (except to market more expensive cables to those that do not understand the nature of HDMI protocols. You are not to blame...it is the way you are trained to believe, even though for the most part it is all hooey. If you buy something cheap, your going to get what you pay for, end of story. - - - - - - - - True. When I buy less expensive cables, I still get an HDMI cable that delivers the full HDMI signal and HDMI experience at a lower cost, allowing me to use that money to buy movies to watch. When you buy the more expensive cables, you are paying for flashier packaging, advertising, and non-features that seem to make the cable better. Perhaps you can find a knowledgeable cable technician, a broadcast engineer, or an installation specialist who are truly knowledgeable in real world use of HDMI, who are unswayed by the advertising schtick of the "super mega hyper cable" companies who will take some time and sit with you and discuss the nature of digital signals and the HDMI protocol in particular. You might actually learn something that is real and honest. Again, it is not your fault. You are trained to believe that certain cables are "better" so that you can sell cables at higher prices and lower margins. It is just the way it is done in retail. In closing, I offer you a challenge. Connect the best Blu-ray player in the store to the best display you have in the store, but connect it through an HDMI switcher. On one side, put your most expensive super mega hyper cable, and on the other put a $9 cable from the internet or wally world. Have someone secretly switch between the two cables without your knowing which is which. You will be unable to tell a difference with your eyes or your ears. Nuff said.

N8 and wireless router connectivity

I have a problem with my new N8.
If I use the N8 at home it interferes with my broadband wireless router (BT Homehub) resulting in my losing a wireless internet connection on my laptop. The laptop tells me I have Limited Connectivity.
I must thenkeep my N8 turned off and restart the wireless router in order to regain an internet connection on my laptop.
Thanks

Which BT homehub do you have (there's been three)?
Have you been into the routers settings and tried changing the wireless channel?

Problems with Installing iTunes and wireless network connection

Every time I attempt to install iTunes it completely kicks the internet off and an error comes up that the wireless network adapter to not connect or is not detected. My internet service is connected to a router which I receive wirelessly to my laptop. I do not understand why it is happening and to get the internet to work again I needed to do a system restore. Any ideas why this is happening. Also when iTunes was installed it came up correctly, it would just not connect to the net. I have had a previous version on my old laptop but since purchasing this new laptop I am having such difficulty. On another note, if this problem can be resolved, once iTunes is working is there a way to get the songs from my old computer onto the new? Thanks for the help in advance!

I just saw your post and I resolved this on mine for my wired connection. I'm willing to bet that the issue is the same for wireless. Here's what I found.
Issue:
During the installation, iTunes installs some network components related to mobile device support over ethernet(Apple Mobile Device Ethernet Service - netaapl.inf). At the same time, according the logs, the install process removed OEM18.inf. This almost exactly coincided with the time that I saw the network connection die (preceded it by a few seconds).
Basically, iTunes appears to be removing a required network component.
Resolution:
After installing iTunes and the network connection breaking, remove the network device from Device Manager and allow Windows to reinstall it automatically.
The following instructions are for Windows 7, but they are close enough to follow for other versions of Windows.
1. Click the Start button (Jewel in Vista and Win7).
2. Right-click Computer and click Manage in the menu that appears (type your password or click Yes if prompted).
3. On the left side of hte Computer Management window, click Device Manager.
4. Click the arrow (or plus sign) next to Network Adapters to expand that section.
5. Right-click your network adapter and click Uninstall in the menu that appears.
6. Click OK.
7. Reboot.
Windows should automatically detect and reinstall your network device on boot.

Wireless charging cable and wireless data cable

Dear Apple,
If you can create the wireless charging cable and a wireless data cable, this will be awesome and easier because my sister is young and she always break my charging cable and I'm not gonna keep buying an charging cable.
If you please can create these, for iPad 4 or earlier.
These have to contains wireless range at lest 15 feet
Thank you for your support

1. This is a user to user forum, Apple is not here.
2. If its wireless, then there is no cable. i.e Wireless means without wires a.k.a no cables.
3. If you want to suggest something to apple use the Feedback link.

Stuck on screen with cable and arrow to connect to itunes

I plugged my iphone 4s in to my laptop to back up photos etc. It somehow didn't update and now the only thing it shows on the screen is the cable and an arrow to itunes. Even when I turn it off/on/press home and lock button together. It is telling me to restore it to original settings but I don't want to lose all of my calendar/photos/notes etc. Holly

connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Which hdmi cables and how to connect iPad?

Can someone recommend an hdmi cable for appletv device to my tv? Also, how do I connect my ipad2 to the appletv or is that the mirroring thru
WIFI? I need a geek squad for free,

Any decent HDMI cable will work from your Apple TV to your TV. Go to Radioshack, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, etc. and get one the length you need.
To use your iPad with your Apple TV you need a wireless network in your house, both the Apple TV and the iPad must be connected to the same network, and you will need to turn on Airplay in the Settings menu on your Apple TV.

I have an ipad1 that I cannot upgrade to ios5. I have attempted to both cable and wireless download the software. Each time after completing the download the error message could not complete because the connection timed out" appears. What to do now?

Can anyone suggest what else I can try?

Make sure your computer and ipad aren't set to go to sleep. If either goes to sleep, the upgrade won't work.

TC working with cable and wireless

My question goes like this. At the moment my TC 2GB is cabeld to an router, which is connected to the internet. At the same time I have another router, where all my Labtops ar connected to. Is it possible to turn on the wireless connection from one router and at the same time connect TC via cable to another router.
I was thinking to Expend an existing wireless network, but as a said before my labtops cant see TC.
Any Surgestions?

You cannot have multiple routers working as routers.. and get connection to items behind another router.. you need one router and then all the other routers must be in bridge mode.. there are various ways to do it.. if you have a router that has no WAP mode or bridge mode.. then you can use WAN BYPASS.. you set the IP correctly to the whole network standard.. eg.. if the main router is the TC.. it would be 10.0.1.1 then statically set routers to 10.0.1.254 and the next one to 10.0.1.253 etc. Turn off dhcp server in each and plug LAN from main router to LAN on the secondary router.
Once you have everything in a single flat network.. then you can setup wireless in roaming mode.. ie all wireless has the same name and same security setting and password but using a different wireless channel.. for 5ghz there are plenty but for 2.4ghz there are only 3 non-overlapping.. 1, 6, 11. Set each unit to one of these.

Laptop won't reconnect to home wireless FiOS connection after using Verizon Wireless connection

I have a laptop that I've had connected to my home FiOS Internet connection without problems in the past. Now, when I leave the house and use my Verizon wireless stick to connect to the Internet and then return home the laptop no longer connects to the home wireless network. Any ideas? I've already:
Rebooted the laptop
Rebooted the router
Viewed the settings for the laptop connection on the router info page
Thanks.

Hello,
If your internet connection at home is working fine using a wired connection (using an ethernet cable) to the router and you're only having trouble connecting wirelessly, then I would recheck the network settings on your laptop:
http://www22.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/fiosinternet/networking/setup/addwireless/1265...
The important part of this process is ensuring that you're selecting the right network name (SSID) for your home residential wifi network and entering the corresponding encryption key.
If you need additional help, please call Verizon's Technical Support department at 1-888- 553-1555.

ISE 1.3 and wireless - which certification method would be best....

Scenario:
From the firewall perspective we have two ISE nodes on the internal network running as admin/monitoring primary and a secondary and both as PSNs. WLC is also on the inside however it has an interface for guest/untrusted device access which is going straight through to the internet, the DG being an interface on the firewall that is considered less secure.
There are two SSIDs, one using MAB for CWA and another using dot1x for user auth against an internal AD:
The CWA SSID is using that guest interface on the WLC which goes to the firewall and DHCP is being handed out by a server on that side of the network too, the DNS server being used is public one. The Authz profile has been configured to use a static IP instead of the hostname as the public DNS will not resolve it. A rule was configured on the firewall to allow access to the ISE server on port 8443 for the guest portal.
On the dot1xx SSID of things it's been configured to use PEAP and mschapv2 and requires an AD username and password to authenticate.
Query
Considering the CWA SSID uses an IP address for the server and the dotx use the hostnames of the server what would be the best way to rsolve certificate trust issues and what would be best to put in the CN and SANs. one wildacard certs seems like the way to go but not sure if this is going to be the best method with the Guest CWA using an IP.
interested in what your thoughts are on this...

Thanks Mark, this is essentially what I ended up doing. I setup a new SSID to onboard the devices which I force them to a sponsored guest type of portal. I ask them for AD credentials and then use the native supplicant to configure an EAP-TLS connection to the proper SSID.
I did find out, from Cisco TAC, there is a new way to identify what VLAN the user should be put on. This is done in the Auth Profile. You can use the directive "Airespace-Wlan-ID"
In the provisioning process, I profile the device and check if it's a corporate asset or BYOD then I check to see if it belongs to the proper AD group, it gets a specific provisioning profile which includes the proper SSID for the vlan they want to connect to. I then created a wlan for each of the vlans and attached it to the right interface on the WLC. I created appropriate ACLs on the WLC then I named those ACL's in the Authorization proile.
When the user goes through the provisioning process, they will be put on the proper WLAN based on AD membership and the type of device. Only EAP-TLS connections are allowed on the Corp/Demo and BYOD networks.
If user1 belongs to the Demo and BYOD AD Groups, their laptop will provision on the Demo Network and their IPhone will provision on the BYOD.
The only gotcha is that if the user wants to change from one network to another, they need to re-provision their device.
