Can connect my emac to my macbook via ethernet
Hi All
Until I get my new Airport Extreme card through the post is there anyway that I can connect my emac to my macbook via ethernet and use the Airport on the macbook for internet connection on the eMac?
Many thanks
Garry
Click here and follow the instructions; the procedure is the same in 10.6.

Connecting TC directly to my macbook via ethernet cable
Folks,
I've looked at a number of posts on this topic but I must be missing a step because it is not working. Simply want to do file transfer via ethernet.
so... I connect a ethernet cable from the TC to my Macbook - what do I do next?dpm,
This works for me when I have to temporarily connect the TC to my Mac via ethernet.
*Create An “Ethernet Only” Location*
While you are physically connected to the Time Capsule via ethernet you may still be experiencing slow data transfer speeds because your Airport network is still active and taking priority.
Connect one end of a Cat-5 Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports of the TC (<•••>) NOT to the WAN port (wheel icon). Connect the other end to your Macs ethernet port.
Next, go to System Prefs --> Network.
At the top of the window note what “Location” you are currently using, as you will need to return to this setting later.
Now, change “Location” to “Edit Locations”.
Click the “+” button and create a new location named “Ethernet Only”.
Click “Done”.
In the Services Pane on the left, eliminate all other services using the “-” button leaving “Ethernet” only. If you choose to leave other services listed then al the very least move Ethernet to the top of the list using the Action Menu (gear button) at the bottom and "Set Service Order".
Verify that “Configure” says “Using DHCP”.
Click "Apply" in the lower right.
You should be seeing an assigned IP Address and the Status should say “Connected”. The dot beside “Ethernet” should be green.
Now begin your backup or transfer of files.
You should still have internet access during this period.
Once the backup/transfer is complete, remember to change the Network Prefs “Location” back to “Automatic”, or whatever setting it had originally been, to restore Airport connectivity.
Let us know if this resolves your issue.

my iphone 4s wont connect in apple tv 3rd gen dont show the airplay icon, but apple tv can connect in Bose sound touch 20 via airplay, and the iphone also connect to sound touch 20 via airplay, ive just buy it yesterday in Mediamarkt Spain,, so it means theres something wrong between my iphone and the apple tv? please me
Hi jaredfox06,
If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay. To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
Try these steps first
Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
If you don't, try these steps:
Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.

Have a good one,

how can i can connect imac 24 pouce and macbook to use the screen of the imac ?
You can't. It requires a 2009 or later 27" iMac to use Target Display Mode. You could try using software like ScreenRecycler.

i can connect to internet and e mail via wi fi , however not out with these. I have just moved from i phone 3 to 4s is it the settings?
Let me see if I understand correctly, you can access the Internet and email when on wifi, however when not on wifi, none of this works? Is this correct? If so, do you have a data plan with your carrier? Do you have cellular data turned on in Settings? When you look at your carrier in the upper left corner, do you see a signal, carrier name, and then 3G, 4G or LTE displayed? Have you contacted your carrier about this?

Why can’t I print from my iPhone 4 to my brother 8890dw printer which is connected to my time capsule/network via ethernet cable??? My iPhone does not even locate my printer,even though I have no problem printing from my Mac to the same printer.
Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read. Many simply do not read such posts.
You would need an airprint enabled printer or an app that proides printing function.

IMac fails to connect to AT&T U-verse via ethernet
I'm not a noob when it comes to my mac, but I don't know much about networking. This problem has me really stumped:
For months, my iMac was connected to my U-verse router via ethernet, by way of my time capsule as a router. Connecting to the internet via time capsule airport works fine. No problems there.
Now, starting about a month ago, my iMac won't connect to the network. When I run network diagnostics, "Ethernet" is green "Network Settings" is Yellow "ISP" is green everything else is red.
In my Network control panel, under ethernet, my status is connected. It says:
"Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
Configure IPv4 is set to "Using DHCP."
Things I've tried are:
-Restarting my computer and both routers.
-Creating a new network location under prefs and starting from scratch.
-Setting my time capsule to "bridge mode."
My setup again is:
2011 iMac
Mac OSX 10.6.8
ethernet to a time capsule
timecapsule ethernet to U-verse router
ethernet connection is down
airport works fine
Thanks for any help you can provide!Changing the default timeout cannot be done in the Advanced Network settings of Firefox, however if there are some about:config entries that you can check. The features are made available by this add on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tweak-network/] it will allow to change the max connections and prefetching and pipelining.
Otherwise, if you make changes to the advanced settings of how Firefox connects to the internet, restart it for the changes to take affect.

My internet 3rd party access point in in the basement and the speakers I want to stream music to wirelessly are upstairs. Does Airport Express need to be connected to my 3rd party router via ethernet cable or will it stream music wirelessly?
Wirelessly
Just select the option to make your AirPort Express join an existing network in the setup process -

Connect an old iMac to a MacBook via ethernet to gain internet access?
I have a 2008 white macbook running 10.6.8
I have a 2004 lamshade G4 800mhz imac running 10.4.11
I do not have a wireless card for the imac and it is no where near my router.
Is there any way to connect the imac to the macbook with an ethernet cable and use the macbooks internet on the imac? If so, can you give me the step by step directions?Connect an ethernet cable from the MacBook to the iMac.
From the Macbook, do System Preferences > Sharing and turn ON "Internet Sharing.
Set the options so they look like this:
except click the checkbox so internet sharing is "on." (I didn't turn it on when I made the screnshot.)
That should route internet servtce from the wireless access of the MB to the iMac.
You should be able to use a standard cat5 patch cable but. if that doesn't work, try either connecting via an ethernet hub or use a crossover cat5 cable. I think the iMac is new enough to not require a crossover but I add this as an option. -
Can I connect my Airport Extreme Time Capsule via ethernet to another router (non-Apple)?
I've been trying to figure this out for a few hours and have gotten nowhere. I have an Archer C7 AC1750 router set up in my office, connected to my Zoom 5341 DOCSIS 3.0 Modem; this has been my main router and has worked fine. I have moved some things around and now have my PS3 and PS4 in my master bedroom but can no longer hook them up via ethernet to the Archer C7. I have run ethernet through the attic into the master bedroom and want to use my Airport Extreme Time Capsule as a way to hook up the consoles via ethernet. If I can use the Airport Extreme to extend my wireless network back to the bedrooms that is even better, although that is an afterthought.
I am not sure what the settings need to be to make this happen. I have searched and tried a number of things but have not found a working solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Please start over with a default reset on the Time Capsule. This will not affect any of the stored data that you might have on the drive. You can use the same device name and password that you used before if you wish.
Power up the Time Capsule for a few minutes. Then hold in the reset button firmly for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Make sure that the Ethernet cable connection from the Archer router connects to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
Open up AirPort Utility
Click on Other WiFi Devices
Click on Time Capsule xxxxxx
AirPort Utility will suggest a setup, which you want to ignore
Instead, click the Other Options button
Select the Create a new wireless network setting and click Next
In the Network Name box, enter the exact name of your Archer wireless network
In the Base Station name box, enter a name that you want to use for the Time Capsule device
Uncheck the box to use a single password
In the Network Password box, enter the password for the Archer wireless network
Verify on the next line
In the Base Staion box, enter a password that you want to use as a device password for the Time Capsule
Verify on the next line
Click Next and wait while the AirPort Utility creates a network
Ignore the step about unplugging the modem and click Next
Do not enable the Guest Network option and click Next
Wait while the network is being set up. When you see the message that the wireless network is available, click Done
The Time Capsule will now appear in AirPort Utility with a blinking amber light
Click on the Time Capsule icon, and then click on Edit in the next small box that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the window
Change the setting for Router Mode from DHCP and NAT to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Click Update at the lower right and click Continue
Wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart and you should have a green light
It would be an excellent idea to power off both the Time Capsule and Archer router now, wait a minute, then start the Archer router and let it run a minute. Then, start the Time Capsule up and give it a minute
You should be all set. The Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule are now operable and the wireless network has been extended using AES encryption. -
I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and transferred data from my MacBook using Migration Assistant via Ethernet cable. I was confused about consolidating my accounts, so I continued to use my old MacBook. Can I now update the data transfer using the same process and begin using my new MacBook Pro exclusively? How do I consolidate my existing accounts?
Thank you.Of course. It does everything it did before Yosemite. You just won't be able to send or receive SMS messages with it.

Need help connecting two macbooks via ethernet
im at home trying to get my snow leopard disc to install on my macbook. my optical drive is busted so i was trying to use my brothers macbook pro to mount the image and then boot my machine to it.
i only have an ethernet cable. can anyone help us? thanks in advance.Ethernet or wireless isn't usable because in order to access the drive you must have File Sharing enabled on the computer which you cannot do unless the computer is booted into OS X. If it's booted into OS X you cannot install on it without losing file sharing capability.
A possible workaround if you can get it working is to use Remote Disc Access as is used on the MacBook Airs. See the following:
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks;
MacBook Air- Sharing DVDs or CDs with Remote Disc.
The software can be downloaded from support.apple.com/downloads/.
