How do I display ethernet connection is being used rather than WI-FI connection in the menu bar/elsewhere?

I have a new 13" retina MacBook Pro - I have wi-fi connection but also a thunderbolt/ethernet adapter that allows me to connect to my network
Sometimes, the ethernet connection does not connect and I do not notice for a while (possibly a dodgy TP-LINK plug adapter thingy)
My question is - how can I display that I am connected/using the ethernet connection rather than the wi-fi? The wi-fi symbol stays in the menu bar but it would be nice to see that I am using the ethernet connection instead
Many thanks
Mike

I don't think you can do that. You can only display the WiFi connection on the menu bar.

    how do i add the "open a new tab" plus sign button, back to tabs & bookmarks back to the menu bar? i was able to click & drag bookmarks and folders containing bookmarks from the bookmark menu to a toolbar and the tab + button was always on the right side of a tab before i saw ff 13.0.1 on windows 7.

    Somehow your bookmarks that normally appear on the separate Bookmarks Toolbar (the part on the left) got onto your main Navigation Toolbar. To move them back, return to Customize mode and drag "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" to the Bookmarks Toolbar. Then click Done and hopefully that will stick.

  • How to  check customer reference no. not  being use more than once

    I have the following situation and appreciate if  some one could show me a simple solution.
    “On the Sales order window, when user enter a value for Customer Ref. No”, check if the entered value has already  been used on any existing Sales Order, and give message eg. “this Ref. No already been used in SO. 257”
    What is the easiest way of implementing the validation?
    Using Formatted Search?
    Triggers or Stored Procedure?
    Or one must go about doing this simple task using SDK, DIAPI?
    sample code illustrating solution would be much appreciated.
    I tried to create a query and used it with Formatted search on the Field, but failed on an error.
    the code using temporary hard coded value instead of $[$x.0.0] looks like this
    if (SELECT    COUNT(*)
    FROM         dbo.ORDR
    WHERE     (NumAtCard = 'AAA' and CardCode ='1234')
    ) =0     
         Begin
                       select 'AAA' --redisplay value
         end
    else
                  begin
    SELECT     TOP 1 'already used in SO '+ Convert(Char(3),DocEntry)
    FROM        dbo.ORDR
    WHERE     (NumAtCard = 'AAA')    
             end
    where 'AAA' is the reference no. to check for customer '1234', this code works when I run it in SQL query analyser, but failed when I run it as query in Business one. the idea was to redisplay the entered No. 'AAA' if it is not found in any existing SO for cust ='1234'
    can anyone point out what the error is or show  alternative code for the query.
    thanks

    Hi Andy,
    I believe the best way to do this is probably to use the SDK as (to my knowledge) this is the only way you can get a message to be displayed and to stop the actual processing of the document.
    If you want to go the formatted search route I would suggest you change your query a bit. I have played with your query and the following is an example as I got it working in SBO. I think SBO gets confused if there is more than one select statement that returns a result and I have started using variables to save the results of the select statements in.
    [code]Declare @Val varchar(100)
    declare @Count integer
    set @Val = $[$14.0.0]
    if (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dbo.ORDR WHERE (NumAtCard = @Val and CardCode = $[$4.0.0])) > 0
    begin
    SELECT TOP 1 @Val = 'already used in SO '+ Convert(Char(3),DocEntry) FROM dbo.ORDR WHERE (NumAtCard = @Val)
    end
    select @Val[/code]
    I hope it helps a bit,

  • How can I have mozilla firefox start at bootup, rather than having to click on the desktop icon to get it running?

    I do the usual turn on and bootup of the computer. Then I have to click on Firefox, and wait.
    Is there a way to add firefox to the bootup in msconfig? I couldn't figure out how.
    I am not a blond, but have white hair.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • How many times is my Translation Pattern being used?

    I am running CUCM 8.5.1.  I have about 50 or so translation patterns.  Is there a report that can tell me how many times each translation pattern is being used daily or weekly?

    Here is the entire setup and my problem.
         Service Provider is sending 9725 and 3131. 
         Voice Gateway is doing a Num-Exp to 2604 and 2403  (respectively)
         Then, the Call Manager is doing a translation on both numbers to Route Point 7824 which then triggers UCCX.
    Two numbers for one purpose.  I would like to remove 9725 / 2604 but I'm not sure how many times it is being used.  Are the calls that are hitting my route point coming from 9725 or 3131?  I can't tell since they both are being translated to the same Route Point.
    Whats the best way of finding out?  Thanks for your time guys!!

  • Wireless connections are unusable (slowdown) when Wired connection is being used?

    Why do Wifi connections slow down to a unusable when the Wired connection is being used continuously (e.g. downloading software, media, large files)?
    How do I stop this?
    I don't want the Wired connection to have some form of SuperGod priority over Wireless connections.
    We are using the Linksys WRT54GL router
    Ping/Latency times go from less than 100ms, when Wired connection is downloading, it shoots up to 550ms+ to over 1 second.
    Websites just time out or take 5 minutes to load a broken form of it as if it half the HTML cut off in random places and the stylesheet is missing.
    Download speed goes from 15Mb/s to .2 Mb/s
    Online games are unplayable.  I die before I can get the chance to move or attack.

    Thanks.
    Is that the only way it will work, device-MAC address one?
    What does Ethernet Port priority do?
    I enabled QoS with its default setting on which has all the Ethernet ports set to Low and it did absolutely nothing to improve usability.
    Does Wired QoS have any effect on Wireless connections?
    Does the field for Optimizing Game Apps affect applications on computers using a Wireless connection?
    There is a Wireless QoS section... However it doesn't have any options in it to select devices, port priority, or anything...?
    What does enabling WMM Support do?

  • Time is not being displayed in the menu bar.

    Hi,
    I this morning i woke my mac from sleep to find that it is not displaying the time in the menu bar anymore. How do i fix this?

    Hello again Random,
    Always a pleasure to assist and thank you for marking this one as solved.
    As to why it happened - I have no idea, some possibilities though...
    Running something like Onyx or YASU. Re-starting the computer. Updating Applications or the OS.
    At least its fixed though.
    Regards once more.

  • IPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

    iPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

    What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
    I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions

  • How do I display BOTH the Time AND Date in the menu bar

    When I, System Preferences > Date and Time > Clock.
    I choose "show date and time in menu bar".
    But I only get the Time and Day of week, but NOT the date.
    I am trying to get the display to look something like this.
    *12-29-07 6:34 PM*
    I tried a program called 'MagiCal' that fixed this "bug" with OS 10.4, however with 10.5 'MagiCal' prevented my mail sounds from working properly (so it had to go).
    Any ideas on how I can display the date and the time with 10.5.1

    Try this:

  • How do you display exact duplicates in Itunes 11. It is now missung under the file?

    How do you display exact duplicates in Itunes 11. It is now missung under the file?

    Right-click on this direct link to ExactDuplicates and "download" or "save link as..." to a location of your choice. Double-click to the file to run it. You should get something a bit like this:
    If your system will allow it my script will produce a progress bar so you can see what is going on, otherwise you will have to be patient, it will carry on working in the background.
    After scanning for duplicates it then adds them to a new playlist. For large libraries this process can be quite slow. (Very slow if you also have old hardware like me.)
    Finally you'll get a results window like this (from a different test run, as I didn't have time for the full one to finish when I was grabbing screenshots).
    You can use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Leave at least one track behind from each repeated group and don't send anything to the recycle bin unless you are sure you have more than one physical copy.
    The DeDuper script has several advantages over cleaning by hand. Automating the process allows preservation & amalgamation of ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. See this thread for more detail.

  • How do i find what ports are being used.

    I need to know how to tell what ports are being used and by what. I recently bought Apple Remote Desktop and have been pretty impressed but I have one computer here that won't let me Observe or Control. I think it is because the G4 in question has a program using port 5900. I need to confirm this is there any way that I can see if this port is being used?
    Thanks
    Moderith

    Hi Moderith--
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Look in your Utilities folder for the Network Utility program. Open it, and choose "Port Scan" from the row of tabs in its window. If you're not running Network Utility on the problematic G4, use the G4's IP address. But if you're actually on the G4, use "localhost".
    Note that if you check the open ports on the G4 from another computer, you won't see as many as if you check it from the G4 itself. That's because some ports are only local. For example, I have enabled the mail server on my Macs, but only to deliver mail, not relay it. So if I do a port scan using "localhost", I see port 25 open, but it's not open from another computer.

  • I just got an IPAD2 on Saturday.  With the Mac, I could always tell when programs were open/running by going to the menu bar.  How can I tell what programs are running in the background.  I am struggling with not being able to go to a menu bar at the top

    You can see which apps are open and/or recently used by double-clicking the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (not all apps that appear there are active) - you can then close apps on it by pressing and holding one of them for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. If you have an app 'open' on-screen then it won't appear on the taskbar, you will need to go back to the homescreen first, and it should then show when you next open the taskbar.
    If you haven't already got a copy then you can download the iPad manual from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

  • How we can display two list if not using blocked alv ,not scr painter

    how we can display two list if not using blocked alv ,not scr painter

    1. Once the cell number/service on the 3GS is transfered to the 5, the 3S will become basically an iPod touch until a new sim is in place, correct? We can still use wi-fi and the apps on the phone, and still be able to sync to iTunes, correct? iOS has been upgraded to 6.
    1a. With a new Sim, any issue with losing any data/apps on the phone? I dont' think so.
    1. Yes. without a sim it has no service, but all other features should be useable normally.
    1.a Nope, Data and Apps are independent of the Sim.
    2. Once the 5 is activated on the new carrier, how do I share the apps within iTunes? Is it as easy as using iCloud (which we haven't "activated" yet) and/or plugging both phones into iTunes and transferring between devices (authorizing both)? Photos? There are photos on the 3S that we will need on the 5.
    2. As long as both Phones use the same Apple ID, the applications can be synced to each through iTunes. Also any downloads on one phone should appear in the other. Again as long as both phones are using the same Apple ID.
    3. Reverse order for new apps purchased (understand that not all the iphone 5 apps will work on the 3GS)?
    3. If they can be run on the iPhone3GS they should be synced automatically.
    4. My husband also has a new iPad, any complications there with three devices? To date, he has not "shared" apps between his 3S and the iPad. He does not have iCloud set up, but plugs into his computer to backup and transfer photos. 
    4. If all 3 Devices share the same Apple ID all should be synced. 
    As a word of warning, if all 3 devices use the same Apple ID, messages recieved using iMessage will appear on all 3 devices.
    And Conctacts may get overwritten if synced to iCloud (thogh you say he doesn't have one), or merged together.

  • How many PCI-FBUS/2 cards can be used in a PC to connect to various Fielbus networks?

    How many PCI-FBUS/2 cards can be used in a PC to connect to various Fielbus networks?  Are there limitations with the Communications Manager and Configurator?
    I currently have 1 PC with a PCI-FBUS/2 card interfaced to 2 Fieldbusses. Can I place any PCI-FBUS/2 card into the PC and run 2 additional Fieldbusses?

    Hi hhsatBeck,
    The limitations of CM and Configurator is,
    Configurator supports maximum 4 FF online segments, including H1 and HSE. For more than 4 segments, extra upgrade package should be purchased.
    CM supports maximum 16 FF segments, including both online and offline.
    So, you can use at most two PCI-FBUS/2 card (4 segments) on one PC.
