Can you combine internet connections ?

I've heard that you can combine 2 internet connections in to one faster one, fisrst is this posible with the MacPro using the two gigabit ethernet ports on the back (MacPro Mid 2012)? To do this i've heard that you need a special Router, a Link Aggregation Control Protocol supported one which is about $500, but im not sure if that is the kind of router you need. Anyone who got experience in this who could help me ?
Thanks,

Your Mac Pro 65lb tower with dual Ethernet ports does indeed support Link Aggregation.
It requires a Router or Switch that supports Link Aggregation Protocol, which is an expensive industrial-strength device.

If you do not have enough of a "mix" of traffic from multiple sources, some readers have complained that their speedup was disappointing. At least in older versions, connections were made in a permanent virtual circuit fashion, assigning each connection to one side or the other, and not using the full bandwidth for a single connection. Fail-over is supported just fine.
This also begs the question of where do you get anything else to connect to, that runs at 2Gbits/sec. Most Internet connections can't go anywhere near that fast, so it will not improve your download speeds.
Are you doing a lot of local File Transfers? Fiber channel may be more appropriate to support a Network Attached Storage device.

I have turn off my phone, signed off my wifi, installed a new app, but nothing is working. My friend is having similar issues. My phone is up to date. I even tried taking off the wifi in hopes that it could just connect to the 3g but nothing. Not sure if anyone else is experiencieng this issue or knows what I can do. I think that it may be an app problem that needs fixed, but not sure. Help!

Maybe its a Viber problem. As that is not an Apple product, why don't you try and contact the developer?

Acrobat XI can't find internet connection

I have had Adobe CC subsciption for some time now, but recently my Acrobat stopped working. it says that it can't find internet connection. But all the other Adobe applications installed through the CC application manager are working fine.
I've had numerous chats with Adobe agents, and with my office's IT guys, and there has been no solution.
We use corporate anti-virus, firewall and proxy scrypts. I've had all Adobe links whitelisted that were given to me by the Adobe agents. The hosts file doesn't have any Adobe info. I've tried reinstalling n+1 number of times, with various options such as selected boot and such, and still no solution.
Why is it that all other Adobe applications installed under the CC work fine, but Acrobat doesn't?
It's sad that if one buys a subscription and loses internet, one would lose all the products as well. One should be allowed to work on the applications, internet connection or not.
Please help with this Acrobat that has created a circus for me here.

Have you also asked in http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat to find out if someone there has the same problem... and a solution?

Can you combine different icloud accounts?

CAn you combine different icloud accounts? For some reason, my new iphone 6 keeps on popping up an old email address for icloud.

When you delete the account from your device, you will be given the opportunity to save Safari data, reminders, calendars and contacts to your device, which you can later merge with the other account once you login.
You won't be able to save your photo stream photos in the same way, so if you have any photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll, you should move them there before you delete your account.
Your iWork documents can be saved to iTunes on your device, but if you have them on a Mac they would be much easier to save to your desktop there. You can move them back after you switch.
Notes can be shared to messages or mail and copy and pasted back after the switch. Although if you have a Mac, you may find it easier to do there. You could also use a temporary secondary account (see last item) to log into both accounts and copy and paste directly into your other account.
You can set up Mail forwarding at iCloud.com mail preferences (little gear icon-bottom left) to receive mail from your old address to your new one.
As an alternative to just switching, you might consider switching and adding your previous account back as a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars. You would still need to move your photos and iWork documents and save your safari data, but you'd have access to your old mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.

How can I share internet connection of iPad?

Under the following considerations:
- An iPad3 has established a 3G/4G data connection.
- There is a wireless access-point working.
- iPad is connected to that wireless access-point.
- There is a notebook (or desktop whatever) also connected to same wireless network.
... is it possible to share iPad's internet connection across the network and how?
Important note:
I am not looking for iPad to perform like a wireless hot-spot. IMHO I am looking for a gateway/router application for iPad.

You can't.
If you don't want to use your local WiFi you could try using a mobile phone that allows you to create a personal hotspot.

Any particular reason for not using the already built package in extra ?
http://archlinux.org/packages/search/?q=madwifi
You can get it from any mirrors, for example :
ftp://ftp.belnet.be/packages/archlinux/ … pkg.tar.gz
Btw, pacman has a feature which might be useful :
pacman -Sp madwifi ~

madwifi depends on madwifi-utils, so you'll want to download this package too.

[Solved]Can`t create internet connection

I`ve installed arch linux on my lenovo y550, but, because I was too sleepy to think yesterday so I didn`t configure the /etc/rc.conf and /etc/resolv.conf file (I installed from CD). All in all i`ve got neither wired nor wireless connection to the internet (everything works fine on windows 7, the same laptop). I think the problem is there are no proper drivers. After typing
/sbin/ifconfig
I only get the lo, no eth0. I`ve configured the web connection on my PC 2 years ago, the same router and web provider, but I didn`t have any problems then, so I guess it must laptop issue.
#lspci | grep -i net
06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFI Link 1000 Series
07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)
I tried the modprobe pcnet32 and modprobe tg3 and modprobe broadcom. In theory, 2.6.33 kernel should support the driver tg3 for BCM57780 (?? Maybe the information I`ve found is wrong??)
still no result. (I didn`t modify the /etc/rc.local with those modprobes yet).
Any Idea what should I do to get the web access?
I`ve found this post:http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=774219
and I`m curious how to install the iwlwifi-1000-ucode without internet connection to get my wireless going.
Any help with either connection?
SOLVED:
thx karol for solution. add this in your /etc/rc,local
modprobe -r tg3
modprobe broadcom
modprobe tg3
and add dbus in daemons. Also, while installing archlinux, you can find iwlwifi 1000 series in additional packages on cd (necessary for wireless connection)

But I`ve got no idea how to access my pendrive from console. I can copy it to the HDD using PartedMagic liveCD, so I`m most likely going to try this. What`s funny, even though eth0 doesn`t work on parted magic using DHCP, wireless network works perfectly fine :]

Can't share internet connection via firewire - missing something obvious?

I have my G4 933 connected via ethernet to a Dynalink RTA100+ DSL modem/router. Would like to share this internet connection with anther G4 450 (time warp here) over firewire until I sort a proper router... both are running on 10.4.11
I connected the computers with firewire cable and configured the firewire ports Manually (as I couldn't get DHCP to populate them in the right range).
Tried initially turning on Personal File and Web Sharing on each, but couldn't get a Ping to go through g4 to g4, even though I can see each firewire port's ip in each other's routing table info...
Also turned on Internet Sharing over Firewire port from Ethernet but G4 450 can't connect.
Read somewhere that you can't do both, so have reverted to just trying to get the Internet Sharing working (as that's all the kids really want on their computer!)
Dug around in the modem for ages tried it in Bridge mode, couldn't connect either computer to internet then so have gone back to normal PPP settings with DHCP.

Now, nothing is actually connecting at all, yet when I do a Netstat of the Routing Table info, the firewire IPs are showing up on each G4...but still no ping, no internet.
All suggestions appreciated as I've been searching around the internet to no avail today!

Hi Rose,
You can't Manually set the IPs for Internet Sharing according to Apple, (I've done it, but not consistently),
You do want the G4/450 to use DHCP, the G4/933 will likely end up handing out an IP to the 450 of 192.168.2.4, (one higher in the 3rd & 4th place, and wont work if the 933 started out as x.x.2.x), but it must do it itself to keep track of NAT within itself.
True you can't do both File & Internet Sharing at once.
On the G4/933, en0/Ethernet needs to be dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations. On the G4/450, fw0/Firewire needs to be dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations.
Internet Sharing needs to be OFF on the 450 & rebooted if it was ON.
As far as the Setting not sticking, there may be more, but Trash these two files on the 933 then Reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist

IPhone 3GS can't share internet connection with a windows 7 64 bit version?

I have an iPhone 3GS with the latest iOS installed, then the personal hotspot option is ON and it shares internet connection to a laptop with Windows 7, 32 bit version and with the latest version of itunes installled (10.6.1.7).
But when I connect this same iPhone to another laptop with Windows 7, 64 bit version with the latest version of itunes 64 bit, there is no internet sharing, no error, no signal of fails, it is just as if the hotspot option were OFF.
Its is posible to share internet from iPhone 3GS to a PC with Windows 7, 64 bit version?

Hey there @slee , welcome back
I would suggest trying the steps in this guide for the installation troubles you are having on your one specific Windows 7 computer.

You can also try disabling your firewall while you run the installation to see if that helps.

ATV joins network but can't negotiate internet connection?

Hi, I've just upgraded to 10.6 and also switched my airport network to 'n' only. All worked a dream except for my ATV. It connects to the wireless network but can't obtain a router address or dns address so has no internet connection?? The ATV has been working beautifully over a B/G network for months so I don't know if it's the move to n or the move to 10.6 or both.
Any advice available on this? I can't seem to find the issue discussed on the forum already.

Try restarting the DHCP server.
Now that you've updated to SL have you tried putting your network settings back to your b/g setting to try to isolate the problem.
You didn't turn off bridging when you set your router to n only did you.
Is your router set to n only or b/g/n or g/n

Can you combine internet connections ?
