Ethernet and WIFI Question

This maybe a redundant question, I want to back up the stuff in my Imac using TC. I do not want to use this Imac wireless nor do I want my backups done wireless but can I still use the wifi system on TC for Ipad ,Nook, etc. without having to configure my Imac everytime to use a wifi devise?

Yes. Just connect the iMac to your Time Capsule with an Ethernet cable, then go into System Preferences->Network and either set Ethernet to a higher priority than AirPort, or turn off AirPort completely.
Your wireless devices will continue to connect to the internet, and even to your iMac, through the Time Capsule wirelessly, while your iMac will enjoy the faster speeds and improved reliability of the wired ethernet connection. Your devices which connect to your iMac "wirelessly" will continue to do so; they will not know the difference between your iMac on the Time Capsule's wireless network and your iMac on the Time Capsule's wired network – it's all the same as far as connectivity is concerned.

Dell Venue Pro 11 w/Dock / Unable to concurrently use ethernet and wifi?

Does anyone know why you are unable to use the dock ethernet connection and the tablet's wifi connection at the same time?
I assume this is a limitation of the dock / tablet because if you hook a laptop up you can use the ethernet and wifi at the same time because they have different MAC addresses.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide....

In Mountain Lion how does OS select between ethernet and WiFi when both are activated??

In Mountain Lion how does OS select between ethernet and WiFi when both are activated?? How does OS use "both" networl accesses??

It will pick the highest service in the list which has an internet connection.
To order the list, open Network System Preferences and select Set order of network services from the button below the service list.

Problems with ethernet and wifi after 10.5.8

In school we log online through a system where a window appears in Safari (or other web browser) where you write in your username and password. Same is for Ethernet and Wifi. After update 10.5.8, this system no longer works. Only logo of the service provider appears but the boxes for username and password are missing.
Everything works with my old iBook G4.
Any ideas?

My son is at school in the USA and he is reporting the same problem getting onto his university network. His new MacBook is getting the 'self-assigned IP' message with DHCP. This is not a good start to the school year.

Using ethernet and wifi at same time

I just upgraded to Lion and now I can not access my WIFI print server at the same time I am connected to the ethernet using the wired cable. In Lepard it worked fine. To clarify, I use the ethernet cable for internet access and I use WIFI to print and access a network hard drive. When WIFI is off, the internet works fine, the moment I turn on the WIFI, the internet sonnections stops. Since October 2010, this connection has worked fine until Lion. I have a second IMac on Lepard and it also still works fine with both ethernet and wifi at the same time.

Try to swipe up and press play from control centre while in your game. This often works however with some games/app the developers have set to pause your music and after you swipe away control centre the music will stop.
Hope this helps!

HT4628 how to reinstall Mountain Lion if ethernet and wifi are both dead

For unknown reason my MBP network connection keep dropping on both Ethernet and WIFI after i came back from overseas. Been trying to recreate the network setting and retry, it works for a few seconds then went dead. Thinking of reinstalling OSX but, not sure how to perform it since both ethernet and wifi are both sort of dead.
Any advise will be appreciated.

Head to your System Preferences > Network > Advanced and delete all the network connections.
Next head to your System Preferences > Data and Time and make sure it's correct and being updated with Apple's time server for your location.
Reboot and check the data and time is correct (PRAM reset is in order if it's not)
Connect via wifi and save the password in your Keychain when it asks.

Macbook Pro 10.7.5 internet will not work. HELP!!! Ethernet and WIFI both say connected but still no internet.

I have a macbok pro running 10.7.5. My internet has always worked on it but I decided to try changing my router set up - the set up didn't work so I reverted back to the original setup that had previously worked.
Now, I have an Imac running tiger - I can connect to the internet via WIFI or Built In Ethernet with no problem.
When I try to connect to the internet on the Macbook Pro running osx 10.7.5 my internet will not work
Safari Says (You are not connected to the internet) and Google Chrome says (Page is Unavailbe) and lists some trouble shooting options that I tried.
When I go to System prefrences > Network my WIFI and Ethernet both say "Connected" and have a green light next to them.
I have tryed deleting the connections and starting new ones and I have even tried deleting the Location and starting a new one.
Nothing works - no matter what I do, even know the WIFI or ETHERNET says Connected, the internet will not work on the Macbook Pro.
The Internet works fine on my Imac and I have tried everything such as swaping cables but there doesn't seem to be a problem with my internet
or with my router - it all works fine with my Imac running Tiger.
Can anyone help me get my internet working on my Macbook Pro again? Any ideas?

Hello ASGR.SYS amd WahWar,
I tried both of your suggestions and neither of them worked.
ASGR SYS - When I tried it your way i got a message saying that the that the diagnostic couldn't repair the problem. It shows the thw WIFI, WIFI SETTINGS, NETWORK SETTINGS, ISP, all turn green. But the Internet and Sever stay red. The thing is, there is nothing wrong with my internet connection as I can connect to the internet on my Imac running tiger, both through ethernet and wireless. When I go to System Prefrences and Ntwork the WIFI and ETHERNET both say "Connected" even know I can't veiw any websites.suggestion
When I tried WAHWAR's suggestion I get a message that says cannot connect to the WIFI network and then it lists your typical trouble shooting tips. Like Make sure you entered the right password and make sure you are in range of the wireless network
Again, just to confoirm - My internet connection is working fne both the WIFI and the Ethernet. When I use it on my IMAC running tiger, everything connects as it should and it works perfectly. But when I try to connect with the MacBook Pro, Even know the connections in the Network settings window show up as "connected" the MacBook still seems to think that my internet connection isn't working at all.
I have tried creating new connections, creating new locations, and I have even gone as far to reset my router and start completely from scratch. The result so far has been the same - the IMAC running tiger will connect - my blackberry and iphone will connect - but the macbook pro running lion will not connect..
I'd apprechiate any other suggestions

Ethernet and wifi clashing?

hi, hope someone can help.
i have a brand new imac 21.5"
i run some IP cameras on a local wired network, 192.168.1.xx
these are picked up fine.
when i turn on the Airport, to connect to my wifi, the ethernet network drops.
is there a way to have both running? the airport configures using DHCP, and when i turn it on it connects with IP address 192.168.1.2
can anybody suggest anything, i'm at the end of my (very limited) knowledge about networks!! is there any info i've left out?
thanks
garret

So you want to connect your iMac to two different Local Area Networks (LAN)? One over ethernet and the other over wi-fi? Or are they the same LAN with a connection for ethernet and wi-fi provided by the same router?

Two Network : Ethernet and Wifi

Hello
I'm connect at two sort of network :
1- Ethernet
2- Wifi
When i connect to my network, with ftp client, the soft take by default the Ethernet Netword.
How do forced my FTP client or other soft to take the wifi Network by default ?
Thank you

Hi,
Go to Network>Show>Network Port Configurations, and make sure Airport or en1 is dragged to the top of the list. At least that's the position the OS looks in first for Internet connection.

Ethernet and WiFi not working in browsers

We have about 13 iMacs and 3 MacBooks connected to our LAN network. Earlier this afternoon, one of our iMacs (20 inch early 2008) would not connect to Firefox or Safari internet browsers. However, I was able to log into our practice management system, which requires an internet connection. I went into System Preferences and ran a diagnostic test on the network which didn't show anything. I even turned the WiFi on and connected to our wireless network and could not connect on Safari and Firefox. I took one of our MacBook Airs and connected hooked it up to the ethernet cable used on the iMac that wouldn't connect and it worked without issue. I checked our Netgear switch, all cords are securely connected and everything is light up as it should be. Just wanted to see if anyone had any other suggestions before I called either the company who set up our network (who rarely return my calls) or take it in to be serviced (closest place is about an hour away).

Why not try a Repair Disk?

Syncing and wifi question

Just wondering if you have your ipod registered on two computers can you add stuff from one computer without losing or overwriting what was on there from the other computer. More specifically I used my desktop for all my music and it kinda died on me and I still have my laptop with additional music but I don't want to lose what was already on the ipod. Hope that makes sense. Also whenever I connect to the wifi and update apps it continually tells me that account info has changed even tho I made sure it was all correct. It's getting pretty annoying. Any help is very appreciated.

It's possible. Both computers have to be authorized with iTunes under the same user account and you should be fine.
I've done it with my wife's Macbook and my Powerbook and it worked OK. Nothing got overwritten - stuff sort off got added on top of each other. A bit messy, though.
As far as the second question, sorry. I don't know.

Can you still use an old 3G on ATT and wifi questions

I am going to be selling my old 3G iphone soon, I have erased it removed my sim etc but I wondered can the new buyer use this with att service or since Itunes seems to have abandoned the 3G from IOS updates is it even possible? I figured someone with kids might want it to add a extra line for Christmas or for little ones to use at home off the wifi network for more basic apps (I know some of the newer apps won't work) but many still did....
Also now that I have erased all data and content and removed my sim before selling - the screen shows connect to itunes, if the person connects to itunes is this phone going to work for the basic wifi stuff or will they need a sim card to even be able to use it as a touch so to speak (wifi only enabled), just wasn't sure if they NEED a sim for that, also now that it is wiped and my sim is out and they start a new setup on it for say wifi does this phone retain the my number is stuff so that if they downloaded some app i use like pinger that they would get my messages too or be able to send as me?
I just didn't want to mislead anyone about the facts if it could be used to add a 3rd or 4th line for a teen by taking it into att or if it being non supported for ios updates if att wouldn't even allow it, or if it was sold as a wifi only kinda device if they would still somehow see or have my number connected to anything like pinger or something (i can't see or do anything with the phone right now just says connect to itunes), altho i do know you can't download some apps being only a 3G - it does do many apps so figure it might have value to someone who wants it for their younger child at home on wifi.
Bill

A 3G that was originally with AT&T will still work with AT&T if you put a valid AT&T SIM in it. However, many apps now require iOS 5, so the selection of apps will be limited.

Outgoing mail server and WiFi Questions

DeepPurple23, thank you -- you solved my problem as well!
Can either of you tell me what's involved in choosing a Wi-Fi network? I'm trying to choose one, but don't know whether I'm DHCP, BootP or Static. DHCP is preselected, but then the only lines that allow me to fill in anything are DNS, Search Domains and Client ID. What should I put there? My IPS is earthlink, and I created a client id, but I'm not getting anywhere. Thanks for any help you can give.
Message was edited by: Host - branched to new thread for new issue

nakoma,
EarthLink should allow you to user their outgoing mail server smtpauth.earthlink.net on port 587 on WiFi or EDGE. Cwmx.com is a work around that only works on EDGE.
As for choosing a WiFi network. Do you have a wireless router such as an Airport Base Station?
If so, you would connect to it, and it connects to your internet connection. Many places offer free WiFi or WiFi that they charge for. This can include restaurants, coffee shops, libraries, and even some cities are experimenting with it. To join one of those networks go to Settings -> WiFi, turn WiFi on, and it will search for WiFi networks that are within range.
Click on the wireless network you want to join. If there is a "lock" next to it that indicates whoever setup that wireless router or base station, and is likely paying for it to connect to the internet set it up to use encryption and a password. You would have to ask them for permission to use their network and the password to use.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Using Bride Mode to have private network to ethernet and wifi but also use Guest Network for public?

Hello,
I am trying to use my new Apple AIrport Extreme in Bridge mode to have our private wireless network. (This works great) and a guest network for the public. When I create the guest network and update settings and then attempt to connect to the guest network wifi it says no internet. :-(

Apple assumes that you will be connecting the AirPort Extreme to a simple modem......not a modem/router.
The correct Router Mode setting with a simple modem is DHCP and NAT....allowing the Guest Network function to work correctly.
When you have a modem/router "upstream" from the AirPort Extreme, the correct Router Mode setting is Bridge Mode for the AirPort Extreme to avoid having two devices both trying to act as routers on the same network.
You might be able to get away with having two devices both configured to act as routers on the same network....but at best, there will be negative consequencs. At worst, the AirPort Exteme may not function at all if you try to configure it incorrectly.
