How do I connect with a cat5 cable to my network switch?

I have wireless connection issues with my second generation timecapsule and my windows 7 professional computer.  I used to have very good connection with my windows XP (SP3) computer but notice it is now sporatic.  How can I set up the timecapsule to backup files with a cat5 network cable in case of wireless issues?  Which ethernet port do I use or should I use the WAN port?  Is there any difference in using the newest 2GB timecapsule with the second generation unit?

How old is the TC??
Some are more than 3years some are less .. any less can be still under applecare warranty if you have a mac purchased within 2years of the TC.
It could be dying.. they do that... regularly at this point in time.
Actually it is dying.. but I cannot tell you if it will die tomorrow, or live to ripe old age.. 3years and 3days when apple designed it to break. Some make it past break date.. some.. !!
For ethernet ports.. they might become as sporadic as the wireless.. once the power supply reaches EOL, more so actually as it draws more current.
Plug into any LAN port. But you have to have the TC setup using ethernet in either router or bridge mode.. if you are using it in join wireless mode then the ethernet ports won't work.
Just plug in and see.. there is no big deal with doing it.
Are you running bonjour on the win7 pc?
Is your TC setup properly for SMB networking.. ie wireless and TC names correct.. short.. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
Setup guest account to read and write permissions.. workgroup set correctly??
Win7 has some nasty behaviour in occasionally deciding it is no longer in a home network.. but work or public.. ensure home.. turn off excess firewalls. ie more than one. Often security software adds secondary firewall to windows internal one.
Lastly the latest firmware to the TC is worse than 7.5.1 or 7.5.2.. and of no advantage to you.. go back.
Is there any difference in using the newest 2GB timecapsule with the second generation unit?
Should be somewhat better wireless.. somewhat faster hard disk access.
In practice.. who knows.. the improvement will be incremental at best.

    How do I scan and email documents on my canon mx870? I have a MAC OS X 10.7.5 and it is connected with a usb cable to the printer. Thank you so much!

    Hi, I have 10.6.8 and an HP printer so it may be slightly different but I'll give it my best shot:
    Go to System Preferences.
    Click on "Print & Fax"
    Near the top of that page you should see "Print" and "Scan" options. Click "Scan"
    A button appears that says "open scanner"
    The settings are different between the different scanner models so I'm not sure what the next window will look like, but it should be pretty straightforward from there. It will scan to a JPEG image which you can attach to an email. I hope that helps! Let me know if there's anything ense I can help with.

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

    Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and  TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

    Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
    Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
    But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
    Hmm, ideas anyone?

    Do you have a wi-fi network in your home ? If you do then you should be able to connect your phone to it via Settings > Wi-Fi on your phone - that should show any networks that are available, and tapping on the network that you want to use (and typing in its password if it's password protected) should connect the phone to it. If you don't have a wi-fi network then yes, you will need wifi router in your home, which is connected to the internet (e.g. via your phone line) to be able to back up your phone to iCloud.

    when you change PC how to make connection with iphone and new PC

    Yes, you can do it the same as any other database. The code would be similar.
    I'd also suggest you not to use the JDBC ODBC bridge for connection. There are other drivers available for that.

  • How can I connect with the AspNetUsers table in MVC 5?

    I have a model, in which I have used several foreign keys from other tables. The point is that I also need to get the Id of the user, from the AspNetUsers table, though, I don't know how. I have done something like this, but it doesn't seem to be working:
    public class Message
        public int MessageID { get; set; }
        [Required(ErrorMessage="Please type a message to submit")]
        [DataType(DataType.MultilineText)]
        [Display(Name="Message")]
        public string MessageText { get; set; }
        public DateTime WrittenOn { get; set; }
        [Required(ErrorMessage="Please select a ticket")]
        [ForeignKey("Ticket")]
        [Display(Name="Ticket")]
        public int TicketID { get; set; }
        public virtual Ticket Ticket { get; set; }
        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please select a business")]
        [ForeignKey("Business")]
        [Display(Name = "Business")]
        public int BusinessID { get; set; }
        public virtual Business Business { get; set; }
        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please select a user")]
        [ForeignKey("aspnetusers")]
        [Display(Name = "User")]
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public virtual ApplicationUser ApplicationUser { get; set; }
    When I try to create a controller using the Entity Framework with my model, I get an error message saying:
        The ForeignKeyAttribute on property 'Id' on type ... is not valid. The navigation property 'aspnetusers' was not found on the dependent type ... The Name value should be a valid navigation property name.
    If someone could help me solve the problem, I would be glad.

  • Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

    Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

    I have reached the same conclusion in the mean time. I have done a bit of investgation in to other grahics cards and am seeing some that show SPDIF connections from the card to the mother board. I was not familar with SPDIF but it did a little bit of sluething. It is of course a digitally enconded voice. I am guessing that in that case the mother board ( assuming it supports this hardware option) would use this output and be able to translate that digital audio to its other audio outputs. That is a lot of guessing of course. I think my "solution" might  be a whole new desktop - a rather drastic course of action! I was in the proceess of getting ready to upgrade this machine anyway with a new graphics card (which I will now return), go to Win 7, and maybe even a new digital TV reciever,  and I don't want to throw good money after bad anyway.
    Thanks for your comments

    My iPhone 3GS is stocked on apple logo while restarting my iphone. Do I need to reinstall new IOS on it?Or how can I connect with my itunes again.Thanksssss..

    I having the same issue about the and iTunes says "The iPhone cannot be restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.". I've had the  iPhone 3GS since it came out. It was working fine until I just tried to  update it. It has never been hacked or jailbroken. We and a few others are having  the same issue then it is more than likely that this is an update issue.  I took mine to the Apple store and the tech tried to update it and he  came to the same problem and told me he couldn't update it. My  assumption is that we are not the only one's with this issue and that if  there was a way to update it to the update before this last one it  might be a solution. I don't know how to get the previous update. Apple  probably is aware of the problem, and hasn't come up with a solution  yet. Or, enough people haven't complained yet. The tech suggested that  there might be something wrong with the phone itself, but that couldn't  be since it was working perfectly before I updated it and others are  having the same issue. It is highly unlikely that a lot of people are  not having the same hardware issue all of a sudden at the same time.
