Can MoCA Cable Adapters Be Used To Connect Ethernet to Apple TV?

I don't want to run a new 50'-60' ethernet line throughout the house (through the basement), to connect an ethernet line from my 2013 iMac Modem to the Apple TV …. and was wondering if anyone has experience using the newer MoCA cable line adapters for their ethernet extensions?
Below is the MoCA adapter I am considering using:
ActionTec MoCA Cable/Ethernet Adapter(s)

After talking with others, I'm dropping the whole ActionTec MoCA interest ….
… and going for a simple Ethernet switch device, and running inexpensive Cat6 RJ45 cable from the iMac/Modem location to the Apple TV, across the house. Too much trouble, time consuming, and potential headaches wiring in and justifying the cost of the ActionTec's MoCA adapters. No doubt would have hours of trouble getting the MoCA adapters up and running. Besides, also read some bad reviews on Amazon about ActionTec Tech Support, and ActionTec MoCA adapter reliability over time.
The KeeBox SGE05 5-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch (below/at Amazon), should do the trick …. along with picking up about 40'-50' of inexpensive Cat6 RJ45 cable.  I'll just be running it along the same internet cable line TimeWarner put in to my iMac & Internet Modem.
                                           KeeBox SGE05 5-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch
                                        http://www.keebox.com/products/productdetail.asp?prod=100_SGE05&cat=80
http://www.amazon.com/KEEBOX-SGE05-1000Mbps-Gigabit-Ethernet/dp/B004FM58MO/ref=s r_1_14?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1428282923&sr=1-…
                                                              Standard Cat6 RJ45 Ethernet Cable (All Colors)
    http://www.amazon.com/Cat6-Networking-Ethernet-Patch-Cable/dp/B00BEX6218/ref=sr_ 1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1428283894…
                                                                        Found Everywhere (All Colors)
So for around $25 bucks total, versus $125.00 (+/-) for (2) MoCA Adapters ….. and a 15-30 minutes installing the CAT6 cable along the same TimeWarner Internet cable line from my iMac…. I'd be done!
Sometime "keeping it simple" (KISS) is still the best method.

    You will need a cable or adapter with a minidisplay connection for the MBP.  That will be inserted in the Thunderbolt port.  The other end is dependent upon the connections of the projector which you have not listed.

    Hi,
    Why do you want to use LDAP for Hard disk monitoring..???
    U can do this by creating a MD5 checksum for all the files existing in some
    perticular
    directory and every hour or any configurable period u can recalculate the
    checksum
    to find out the change in the content.
    I guess all u need is to get the code for "updatedb" utility of Linux and
    instrument it for ur needs..
    Hope it helps...

    This information is not available. If you have any misgivings, change your password at http://appleid.apple.com - it should be at least 8 characters - 12 would be better - of which one must be a capital letter and one a numeral. No punctuations signs, and no real words.

  • What cable should I use to connect an old iBook G4 to a MacBook Pro in order to transfer files?

    I'd like to transfer files from the iBook G4 to my new MacBook Pro.  However, I'm not a "pro" at using a computer and I'm not even sure what cable to use to connect the two laptops.  I welcome your suggestions!

    The Y is FireWire and the MBP has a FW800 port. On the iBook you should find a FW400 port shaped like an arrow (see below, left pic). So for speediest transfer, you need a Firewire 400 to Firewire800 cable that will allow you to plug both Macs together (right pic).
    Once you have gotten that, place the IBook in Target Disk Mode (see here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661 ) and connect both with the cable. The iBook's hard disk drive will appear on the MacBook's desktop. You can either drag stuff across or use the Migration Assistant found in Utilities to ensure applications get transferred correctly.

  • How can I find out what email is connected to my apple ID account

    Trying to download an app onto my iphone but can't remember my password. tried to retrieve my password but nothing has been sent to my email. tried several times. is there anyway to see what email is connected to my apple ID account?
    I've tried all of them but my wife set up my phone and I'm lost. (it's not going to her email address either)
    help? I can't do anything with my phone without my apple ID password!
    (PS. Posting this from my son's account. As I cannot create one without my apple ID password. lol)

    None of my email addresses. Which makes me think it was entered incorrectly originally.
    When I tried to answer the security questions it asks my birthdate and then asks "answer your secret question"
    I have no idea what that question is. Lol. Like I said, my wide set this up with me and neither of us can remember what question was asked. It was a year ago.
    If I knew what email they sent my password to I could figure tho out and re set the password.

  • Can't print from PC using AExtreme connected printer...

    Hi!
    I have an AirportExtreme BS connected to my cable modem and I can connect to the internet using my PB G4 and my wife's Dell PC using Windows XP. She is using a Belkin Wireless Network Card. No problem there!
    I also have a Lexmark C510 printer connected to the Airport Extreme via UBS. I can print without a problem from the PB G4 but on the Dell PC we can't even get it to recognize the Lexmark printer.
    When contacted directly Lexmark said that they don't provide support for Airport Extreme, blah, blah...
    Any words of advice?
    Thanks!

  • Can the BC API be used to connect/synch directly to a iPhone App (app local database)?

    Hi Guys,
    I'm just starting a project in collaboration with an iPhone App developer, they're building an app where a user will input survey data which is saved to a database within the app, then when the phone has a connection, the data is uploaded to a database. I want to use BC and extend the CRM to store the data captured from the app against a customer/case record, which will subsequently be displayed and modified by admin staff through a web front end. If necessary I'll use a Web App for part of this functionality.
    I know the BC Web Services API can connect to an external database, but before designing a solution that requires building an external database to store the iPhone app data just so that BC can connect to it, can you tell me whether it's possible for the BC Web Services API to connect directly with an iPhone App (with integrated database)?
    Totally new territory for me, so any answer to my question, or other help, tips and advice will be greatly appreciated.
    Regards, Mark.

    Many thanks for your helpful feedback TheBCMan, that's very clear. The more I've researched this, the more roadblocks appear and the more it appears BC is not going to work for this project, which is a shame as some of the other BC features are perfect for the project as a whole. However, before giving up, can I run the points below by you to validate or disprove any of my current understanding?
    I understand I will need to stand up an external db/app to synch with the iPhone app to save the customer survey data, and I understand I will then be able to connect the external db/app to the BC API and pull the survey data into a extended CRM form.
    However, once the data is in BC, I cannot work out a way where I could edit that CRM form data with it's assigned to a Case? That is, I understand it's possible to display/edit CRM form data assigned to a 'contact' of a customer record, but the problem here is I can only access the data to edit it when logged on as that customer. But this is data a staff member will access (customers will not be able to access it) and staff will not have access to the customers login credentials. So it's not feasible to assign the CRM data at the Contact level, agree/disagree?
    If I set up one staff member as a customer (so one unique login) and save all the (potentially hundreds) of survey data CRM forms as individual 'Cases', but as I understand it, whereas this overcomes the customer logn issue, I won't be able to add a web form to a page to edit the survey data CRM form, because it's assigned to a Case, not a Contact in this scenario, agree/disagree?. (This is the approach I really hoped would work out)
    And as you said, I can't use a Web App, which would overcome both of the issues above, because I can't access a Web App from the BC API. 
    So, in conclusion, these appear to be no way around these roadblocks, unless you can tell me otherwise?
    Thanks again for your help.
    Regards, Mark.

  • Can not deploy a report using JDBC connection on CR2008 Server

    Hi Group,
    I have a report created with JDBC connection. When I tried to add it to CR2008 server, it gives an error - "An unexpected error has occurred ". Basically I want to add a report to a public folder via CMC. I am using adminstrator account.
    Then I thought I need to add JDBC driver into CR2008 server. so I put oracle jdbc jar into CR2008 server classpath and add JDBC connection info into CRConfig.xml. but I still got the same error.
    I also tried:
    - Change the report to use native Oracle driver rather than JDBC. The deployment succeeded (but this is not what I want)
    - Add a data source connection via Business View Manager, but no luck.
    I know how to use/change jdbc connection with programtic way, but I just want to know if I want to use built-in components in CR2008 server without any coding the reports can be deployed and managed.
    Thanks in advance.
    Dennis

    Hello Will,
    Crystal Reports supports connections to JDBC/JNDI out of the box, and have done so for a while, whether stand-alone or published to Enterprise.
    To specify where the server would search for the JDBC driver jar files, you'd change the classpath tag found in the CRConfig.xml file found on the machine where the Crystal Reports Page or Job Server is running. 
    For early Crystal Enterprise 10 and before, it used Java Native Interface (JNI) to start the Java process to retrieve the data from the JDBC connection.
    For later Crystal Enterprise 10 and later, it starts off a "Java Server" process, and communicates to the Crystal Reports process via CORBA TCP/IP connection.
    Commonissues that may arise:  (1) CRConfig.xml not configured properly, (2) unable to start or communicate to the "Java Server" because of permissions or firewall.
    Note that this is a separate connectivity map from using ADO or ADO.NET.
    Sincerely,
    Ted Ueda

  • What cable should I use to connect my g4 to a 19'flat screen hd  tv?

    Whats it called?
    Is it widely available?

    Thanks!

    Your Powerbook has a DVI video-out port, and the best video quality will be obtained by connecting that port to the HDMI port on your television, using an adapter cable with the appropriate male/female ends. Google "DVI to HDMI adapter" to find suppliers online, or go to your local electronics big-box store (take your Powerbook along) and find one there. Note that DVI and HDMI cables don't carry audio, so you'll need to cable the audio from the Powerbook to the TV set separately.

  • How can I find my printer's ip connected (ethernet cable) to a time capsule which is in network extending mode ?

    I got a network printer connected to a Time Capsule which extends my wireless home network. But I can't manage to find out it's IP address nor i manage to find it on the network ! Am I doing something wrong ? Is there a way to tell Time Capsule which is the IP of the network printer ?
    Hope somebody can help me out !

    Most printers can print their status page.. on the status page is the current IP. I personally don't buy network printers that don't have a small LCD with enough menu to set things like IP address. And reveal the current IP.
    Is the printer set to dhcp? If so it will get an IP from the TC.
    Apple removed useful aspects of the old v5 utility which would give you a listing off all IP addresses passed out by the TC or connected to it.
    You can however do a netstat scan from your computer.
    In finder type in network utility into the search (apple have hidden it in a stupidly obscure location)
    In network utility run a netstat scan which should pick up the printer.
    One aspect of this, is that if the printer is in a deep sleep, power saving mode.. you may not pick it up.. certainly you should make sure the printer is awake and ready to run.. even if you need to reboot it.
    There will be a problem if the printer is manually set to the wrong IP range.. then it won't come up at all. To fix that you will need to actually read the printer manual.. and find out how to reset it to its defaults and start again.
