Can't Convert to Ethernet Connection From Wireless

Using the Internet Connect, I select Ethernet and insert the password and "Connect". No connection. Then, If I go to the System Preferences network window, it will not let me change the selection to ethernet. Another window opens that says that network setting have been changed by another application. When I click the OK button, the window recycles and I have to force quit the SP. Not long ago, I upgraded from Panther to Tiger. Is this related? While the laptop runs fine on my wireless system, I want to use it to check the download speed at my IP's modem, which is located a long distance from my iMac.

I have had this question answered in another part of the forum. The problem is due to a software security update. It requires plist files to be deleted and network settings reentered.

I have two facetime users, both connecting to our enterprise wireless network (Cisco WCS) and they can't make a facetime connection from IPAD to IPAD. Are there any apple protocols or other settings that need to be enabled on WCS? No firewall involved.

I have two facetime users, both connecting to our enterprise wireless network (Cisco WCS) and they can't make a facetime connection from IPAD to IPAD. Are there any apple protocols or other settings that need to be enabled on WCS? There is no firewall inbetween the two connections, as this is all on our internal network.
Both devices can connect to the network, but when they try to talk to each other they can't make the connection.
Thanks.

If anyone ever comes across this and has the same issue, here's what I did to fix it:
My Linksys router has a Network Mode setting, and I had to change it from "Mixed" to "Wireless-G only". (I would've used N but one of the NICs in my house is too old to support it.) Anyway, after making this change, Facetime works fine on the phone. Hope this helps someone else!

I want to use the ethernet connection from my new iMac to my Time Capsule. It seems only the Wifi is seen by either device. Ive connected the Time Capsule to the iMac. How can I get the iMac to use the wired connection

I want to connect my iMac to my Time Capsule using Ethernet. I have them connected via an Ethernet cable, but only WiFi seems to be working. How can I specify the Ethernet connection instead of WiFi? Thanks

Go to preferences, network and see if ethernet is indicated. Be sure it shows a green dot. Also be sure it is at the top of the list (above WiFi). If not click on the the wheel at the bottom and set service order.

Can imovie for ipad receive audio from wireless headset

can imovie for ipad receive audio from wireless headset? i have a logitech wireless made for ipad?

1 - Imovie for iPad is made to work with video shot with an IOS device. You would have to make sure it's compatible
2 - Export the movie to your camera roll. Connect to computer and import just like you would from any camera.
3 - it exports an MOV file, h.264 encoding (720P)
4 - Yes you can export a project and continue to work on it on the Mac, make sure you have the latest version.

I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.

Airport cancels networkinga direct ethernet connection from connecting to I

With Airport turned on in the top menu bar, not only does it fail to connect to the Internet, but also it keeps

oops... typing on someone else's keyboard and it is flaky. Try again...
but also it keeps a direct ethernet connection from connecting. As soon as I turn off Airport, it connects fine. What's this all about?

Can I tether the internet connection from a smartphone to my iPod?

Hello everyone,
I own iPod Touch 4 with iOS 4.3.3 (8J2). I want my iPod be able to connect to the internet when WiFi broadcasting is not available around while I am on the go.
So my question is: Can I tether the internet connection from a smartphone to my iPod? With which smartphone or mobile OS other than iPhone/iOS?
I don't want to JB my iPod Touch.
I heard that smartphones with Android can tether the internet connection to iPod Touch, bu I am not sure, I searched the internet but couldn't find anything as I wanted.
Thanks, regards.

I've got a (now considered ancient) Nokia N95 8 GB mobile, with the app JoikuSpot Light on it - has been working really well though I wouldn't suggest buying Nokia if you were going to buy a new mobile...if you happen to get your hands on an old-ish Nokia or Ericsson (Symbian platform) Joiku will do a good job of creating a wifi hotspot.

Can you convert a favourites file from windows to a bookmark file for mac?

can you convert a favourites file from windows to a bookmark file for mac?

I can't answer for Internet Explorer but you should be able to export Bookmarks from FireFox. If you can't export from IE you may be able to import from EI to FireFox first.
In FireFox, menu BookMarks>Organize Bookmarks, then in the pane which opens, menu File>Export (that's how it works on Linux so Windows should be broadly similar). The result should be an html file.
You may be able to import this into Safari on your Mac; certainly you should be able to import it into FireFox and perhaps from there to Safari if necessary.

E3000 severe drop in speed from ethernet connection to wireless

I have an E3000 connected to COMCAST. My download speed with an Ethernet connection to my computer (Windows 7) is just over 60Mbbs. When I connect to the internet using wireless only (computer adjacent to the router), my download speed drops 50% or more. Is this normal or is there some setting adjustment I need to make? I just loaded the most recent firmware for the E3000,

Its best to check speeds on wired LAN cables as there are many factors that contribute to bad results on WiFi. Different WiFi device may exhibit slower than expected results.

Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

Automatic switch over from wired ethernet connection to wireless (different internet networks)

I have an Imac connect to 2 different internet service providers 1) a wired connection via ethernet giving a 10mbps download speed but unfortunatley the signal can randomly drop for a period of seconds, minutes or even hours, which I then have to manually disable the ethernet connection and switch to the wireless provider, a tedious task..
I was wondering if there is a way whereby i can set the ethernet conection to automically switch to the wireless connection during the periods explained above?
Thanks for your assictance.
David

OK, thanks for the update.
Let's try to figure out which device is actually providing the PPPoE service. It will be either your modem or the AirPort Extreme router.
Normally, the PPPoE connection service is established on the modem by using a web page for configuration. If you have setup the PPPoE service this way, then the AirPort Extreme must be set to Connect Using -- Ethernet.
Please use your computer to check some settings as follows:
Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup > Click the Internet icon
Look for the Connect Using setting near the top of the page
It will be set to either "Ethernet" or "PPPoE"
Which setting do you see?
Note...if you are still using OS 10.4.x as you indicate, this may not be the path to find the setup information. It may be in an older application on your computer called AirPort Admin Utility.
Sorry, I can't remember much about 10.4.x, so you may need to look around a bit on your computer.

AX can't while TimeCapsule does connect to wireless network

I'm connecting to a (non Apple - brand unknown to me) wireless router. (It's my landlords router)
We just switched from WEP 40bit to WPA/WPA2 (Personal).
All was good before.
The TimeCapsule (FW 7.4.2) has no problem (same with my new PlayStation3).
The AirPort Express (FW 6.3) doesn't want to "join the (invisible ssid) network"
Any idea what this could be?

Welcome to the discussions!
The AirPort Express (AX) should be able to join a WPA/WPA2 network. Suggest you try the following:
Perform a Factory Default Reset on the AX by powering it down for a few moments.
Hold in the reset button +and keep holding it in+ as you plug the AX back in to power.
Release the reset button after 10 seconds
Temporarily, connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the AX
Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab below the icons to name your device, etc
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Wireless Mode...Join a Wireless Network
Wireless Network Name...Type in the exact name of the wireless network
Security...WPA/WPA2 Personal
Password...Wireless network password
Click the Music icon to enable AirTunes
Click Update at the lower right of the window. As soon as you see the message that the settings have been saved, close AirPort Utility and disconnect the ethernet cable. The AX will restart in 20-25 seconds. If you get the green light, you can move the AX to the location where it's needed

How can I convert a Database Handle from TestStand to LabVIEW?

I want to use a Database Handle (already created in TestStand by an Open Database step) in a LabVIEW-VI (called from TestStand) to connect it with the "Connection Reference" input of the "Easy SQL.vi"? If I use a directly connection via the "TestStand - Get Property Value (Number).vi" I get back the error message 4101 in LabVIEW. How can I convert the Database Handle?
Test Engineering

The TestStand database step types use the CVI SQL Toolkit to talk to databases. The handle that you are referencing is an internal memory location and not a actual handle that you can directly use. Currently as implemented the handle that is stored in a numeric TestStand property for the connection and the SQL statement are the handle values returned from the CVI SQL Toolkit. So for the connection handle, you could call the CVI SQL Toolkit function
DBGetConnectionAttribute (
int Connection_Handle,
tDBConnectionAttr Attribute,
void *Value);
and get the CVI CAObjHandle reference. With this you could then call the CVI ActiveX function
CA_GetInterfaceFromObjHandle(
CAObjHandle Object_Handle,
const IID *Interface_Id,
int Force_AddRef,
void *Inte
rface_Ptr,
int *Did_AddRef);
to get the actual ActiveX interface reference. This would have to be converted into a LabVIEW reference.
You may want to consider just using LabVIEW to open a new parallel reference only using the toolkit.

Can't print using ethernet connection

I am running Lion (10.7.4) on new Macbook Pro and am not able to connect my printer (HP LaserJet 5000GN) via an ethernet connection. I've downloaded the software drivers from Apple (v. 2.9) and used software update to make sure I am fully up to date, and restarted.
When I select System Preferences>Print and Scan and the click "+" in the dialog box, the Add Printer window comes up with nothing in the default window. When I go to the IP window in Add Printer the three options are IPP, LPD, and Socket. If I enter my IP address in the address box (I get a "Valid and complete address" verification in the window, I also pinged the printer successfully in Network Utility), and select the HP LJ 5000 series in the "print using" box, IPP gives me an error and LPD and Socket tells me "Unable to verify the printer on your network. It can not be currently determined if ‘192.168.0.4’ supports the HP JetDirect Protocol. Would you still like to create the queue?" If I select it anyway, it gets hung up on the "Setting up '[name of IP address]'" popup (shows it's running but never completes) unless I click the configure button and check the boxes.
After checking the boxes if I then go back to the Print & Scan Window, a printer appears with my IP address as its name. If I try to print, the Print Queue window comes up but the progress bar just runs endlessly and I get a message in Print Queue window, "Microsoft Word - Unable to verify your printer on your network." (The first part is because I tried to print a MSW document, but I've tried other software and it still fails to print.)
I've also tried this with different ethernet cables and with a direct ethernet connection vs. on a hub. The printer was working fine via ethernet connection on my old Macbook running 10.4, so I know this is some kind of software/configuration problem. This is an old printer so ethernet is the only option for connecting to the computer.
Any help would be much appreciated.

seems like it's all working now. i selected apple talk, and it found my laserwriter instantly.
forgot about apple talk!

How can I get the virtual connection from connection pool?

Hi, All, I create the connection pool to Database, then call connPool->createConnetion("scoot","tiger") , it creates a new physical connection to database, not from connection pool. I check the busy number of connection in connection pool, it always 0.
here is my code, please give me advice.Thanks!
int minConn,maxConn,incrConn;
minConn = 4;
maxConn = 5; //nMax;
incrConn = 1;
if(env == 0x0)
env = Environment::createEnvironment(Environment::DEFAULT);
if (connPool == 0x0)
connPool = env->createConnectionPool("scott", "tiger","test.oracle.com", minConn, maxConn, incrConn);
// here already has 4 physical connections to database;
Connection con,con2,*con3;
Statement *stmt;
int nBusy = connPool->getBusyConnections();
//nBusy = 0
try
con = connPool->createConnection (szUser, szPassword);
// create a new physical connection to database
nBusy = connPool->getBusyConnections();
//nBusy = 0
con2 = connPool->createConnection ("scott", "tiger");
nBusy = connPool->getBusyConnections();
}catch(SQLExecption ex)
cout<<ex.what();

What you are creating are virtual connections. They do logons using the already existing connections in the pool. The real connections from the pool are picked only before doing a round-trip and released immediately after completing the round-trip. You can see the busyConnetions higher than 1, only when you are using the connections concurrently.
