How do I make make the ethernet cable for Bt Infin...
I have all the required parts, some good cat5e cable, rj11s and a crimper.
Which wires need conecting to which pins to make it work? The one installed by BT appears to have just 2 wires connected?
The cable I want to make is the one from the master socket face plate to the VDSL modem (RJ11 to RJ11)
Thanks in advance
The cable that your wanting ISN'T an ethernet cable.
Your correct that the connecting cable only has the centre two pins connected and frankly the colour of the cores doesn't matter, just pick a pair and make sure that they are the same @ each end.
Just a note re Ethernet cables & Cat5e cable...there are 2 recognised ways or wiring (a & b), makes no odds which your use as long as its the same @ both ends [B at one end and B at the other = a crossover cable should it be needed].
For the colour codes just Google Cat5e wiring codes

I have just got an Apple Airport time capsule to back up my one year old iMac......how do I do it? I have tried putting an ethernet cable into the time capsule and to my sky hub, all I get is a flashing amber light, can anyone help I am a silver surfer not used to Apple products, but love them, plus I don't understand half of the jargon....HELP please
Apple's Setup Guide for the Time Capsule is pretty simple and clear for most users, and you don't indicate at what point or step that you are getting stuck.
So, please go to page 8 in your Setup Guide to review the topic of Plugging In Your AirPort Time Capsule.
The Sky hub will likely have 4 Ethernet <--> ports on the back of the device. Pick any one that you want and connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the port that you choose.
Then, connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the WAN (circle of dots) port as shown in the Setup Guide.
Continuing with the instructions on page 8 of the Setup Guide, power up the Time Capsule by connecting the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule to a wall AC jack.
Note that the instructions indicate that the indicator light will be solid amber during startup, and it will change to blinking amber during the setup. The light will remain blinking amber until you have configured the Time Capsule at which time the light will turn green.
Next, go to page 12 of the Setup Guide to see the information to Use your Mac or iOS device to set up your AirPort Time Capsule.
You indicated in your tag line that you were using OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), and since that will exceed the minimum requirement of a Mac using OS X (10.7.5) as noted in the guide, you can use your Mac to set up the Time Capsule.
Continuing with the instructions on page 12 of the Setup Guide......
1. Open AirPort Utility on your Mac. It is located as follows: Finder (the smiley face on the dock) > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
2. Select your AirPort Time Capsule and click Continue. You won't be able to do this, but read further......If you do not see the AirPort Time Capsule that you want to configure, choose it from the WiFi status menu in the menu bar, at the top of the screen.
So, clicking on the WiFi icon will yield a small window that looks like this:
The example below shows an AirPort Extreme. You will see Time Capsule on your screen. Click on Time Capsule.
When you click on Time Capsule, that will get the setup wizard going. it will take a minute to analyze the network, then display a screen that looks similar to the illustration below, except that you will see a picture of a Time Capsule on your screen
3. Continuing with the Setup Guide.......Follow the onscreen prompts to create a new network
Network Name...........Type in a simple name that you want to call your network. Do not use the suggested name.
Base Station Name....Type in a simple name that you want to call the Time Capsule. Mine is TC, for example.
Password...................Type in a password that will be used for both the network and the Time Capsule. Write that down.
Verify..........................Type in the password again to Verify
Click Next
The setup wizard will configure everything for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
The Time Capsule is now set up and it will display a green light. -
I have just bought a MacBook Pro and want to synchronise all data (excluding photos and music) and emails currently on my desktop iMac.
First question, how to I plug in an Ethernet cable to the MacBook so that the two can be connected to the same network via the ethernet? Step one of the Apple setup wizard has me flummoxed!
Second question, once I have that sorted, how do I keep the two devices synchronised (data files and email) and how do I keep the email synchronised to my iPhone?

Vista - how do you make iTunes the default player for audio files?
Having started using iTunes on a new Vista PC, I've found that it defaults back to Windows Media as the default audio file player every time the machine is rebooted.
But worse than that, I cannot find any option to make iTunes the default player for MP3 files - under the Vista settings, the ONLY option offered is Windows Media: there is not even a box to tick for iTunes.
Have others found this? Is there any way around this?
(I thought that Microsoft was legally precluded from making these kind of enforced settings now???)Although I now seem to have successfully made iTunes the default player for audio files, iTunes has started putting up this message:
"The iTunes Music Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
A quick scan of the forum shows this problem has come up quite a few times, but I'm far from clear if there is a definitive answer/solution. I am the administrator for the computer. It sounds worrying that the Library file is not being saved - should I be worried? -
My westel modem (that I rent from my phone provider) quit working with the internet. My airport extreme seems to be working from the dsl (phone) connection through the westel, then through the ethernet cabled to the airport extreme. Do I need the modem? Is the ethernet route less efficent that going throught the internet connection? If I don't need the westel modem; how do I make the dsl conection to the pone port in the wall? Thanks for help on this!
Ok, so are you saying that your Internet is or isn't working? Does it work if you plug your computer directly into your computer and bypass the router (make sure you power cycle the modem when you do this)? If it is working this way, then a new modem isn't going to solve a problem with your Internet not working. If it is going slow (try running a speedtest) then you need to call your phone company to have them take a look at why your Internet is slow. If it runs fine this way and then slows back down when you go back through your router there is something else going on. Try unplugging both the modem and the router, let the modem fully sign back in and connect to the Internet, after it gets signed in, plug your router in, and then after it boots up fully, try running the speedtest again...See if that helps any? Sometimes it's just an IP conflict that happens when the dynamic IP that is assigned by your Internet Service Provider changes and the change doesn't flow smoothly.

trying to connect time capsule to macbook air with the ethernet cable in the WAN port but the airport utility doesn't detect it but when i put it in the LAN one it does but it doesn't let me configure
any ideas?Isn't it fun trying to do things without an ethernet cable direct to the computer.. Apple sell a usb to ethernet adapter cable fairly cheap.. makes life a lot easier having something to do hard connections.. or as hard as usb can manage.
Since you have to access the TC by wireless .. press and hold the reset button on the TC for about 10sec until front led flashes rapidly.. don't worry about the ethernet cable.. leave it disconnected.
Now click on the airport symbol and join another network. The TC should revert to its home name.. which will be a combo of Time Capsule and its MAC address. There is no wireless security and you can do the setup. -
The ethernet cable keeps slipping out of its slot
I have a G72 notebook. the ethernet cable keeps slipping out of notebook's slot. It began infrequently, then often and now I have to hold it in or I can't get on intyernet. What a crawl! when I called tech I was told by tech to buy another cable. I've bought 2 more & same problem. What must I do to get my notebook back? thanks mucho
Hi,
You bought 2 new cables and still have the problem, the only thing I can think of is the LAN port itself. Do you have friends, relatives ...just bring those cables and plug to their machines to see, and also physically check the LAN ports to see any difference.
Regards.

Can I creat an new iCloud account and make it the primary one for my backups and buy extra iCloud storage for it? Thank you
Hey Hindfromlondon,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Since you are posting here, I take it you already have an Apple ID.
You can setup that Apple ID to work with iCloud. See:
Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
And you usually want to stick with one Apple ID as having multiples can cause confusion (especially with purchases).
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
What is an Apple ID?
An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
For a complete list of all of the places you can use an Apple ID, see Where do I use an Apple ID.
and further down:
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Regarding iCloud storage check out
iCloud storage upgrades and downgrades - Apple Support
I encourage you to read all about it as there's lots of information out there.
Take care,

can i run a printer off the ethernet cable connection without hurting the imac or is the ethernet slot only for internet connection?
Hi, Alan -
How can I connect to both printer (HP 4050n, via direct connection) and internet (via LAN), as my iMac has only one R45 port?
You can, but you'll need to expand your cabling a bit.
You'll need to get an intermediate ethernet hub, switch, or router. That device sits alone, with the Mac, your printer, and your modem/LAN plugged into it.
If you are already using a router, either separate or in combination with the modem (many modems have a built-in router), then you just need a hub or switch.
I use an ethernet switch (10/100/1000) to let both my Macs (a 2010 iMac and an elderly G4 DA model) use my HP4000n printer and my modem. The ethernet switch is a passive device, meaning there's no setup nor instructing it required - it's truly plug-and-play. All four items (two Macs, printer, and modem) are plugged into it via ethernet; both Macs have full-time independent access to the printer and the modem. -

Having trouble with the ethernet cable
Hello-
All of the sudden the ethernet cable I have been using for my MacBook Pro seems to be causing trouble with my streaming, especially when watching live online streams like from CBS New.com, MSNBC, etc. I had not had any trouble until recently but when I push the ethernet cable in a little bit the stream seems to pick up. This also did happen the last time I installed the latest Flash update. When I do the Software Update, it goes OK, it just seems to be the live video streams.
I thought I would get a new ethernet cable since I do not know how to hook up my Airport Extreme with the odd set up where I am staying.
Is there a better kind of ethernet cable or does it matter what kind I get? any recommendations on a good ethernet cable (brand) I should try?
I would uninstall the latest Flash update, but every time I mess around with Flash it causes trouble, but not the kind of trouble I am having now.CanaDuke wrote:
Moved the AEBS (g) downstairs
That's probably what caused your problems.
Here are my questions:
1) Would replacing the AEBS (g) with an Express (n) solve the problem?
No.
The weakness is in the connection between the main base station and the remote (in this case the AEBS (g).
If you got an Airport Express 802.11n, it would improve the connectivity if it operated in 802.11n mode. However as you have none-802.11n devices which use wireless (ie the iPhones) then you would need to operate in 802.11g mode and therefore the weakness would still be there.
2) Would ADDING an Express (n) be better?
See above.
If everything was 802.11n then yes, otherwise no.
3) Would we be better off buying the wireless adapter for the xbox, rather than plugging it in with ethernet?
If you moved the AEBS back to its original location then I expect yes it would.
