How do you do the initial back up with ethernet cable

I'm trying to do a Time Capsule back up for the first time and it's painfully slow. It's telling me it's going to take 77 days! So I figured I'd just plug in an ethernet cable and do the back up via ethernet. Trouble is Time Machine refuses to find Time Capsule any other way than wirelessly... keeps launching Airport Setup Assistant to confiure it. Help.

It sounds as if you might have configured your Time Capsule to "join" your wireless network, correct?.
In this type of setup, the TIme Capsule simply becomes a wireless hard drive and the Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule are not enabled.
If you could consider connecting your Time Capsule to your main router using a permanent Ethernet cable connection, you would have the option to backup using wireless or Ethernet.

  • You have created a link to another part of your book but how do you get the reader back to the original page?

    Using iBooks Author to make a book you have created a link to another part of your book but how do you get the reader back to the original page?

    Asking me to be verbore is a dangerous thing  :-)
    When you eneter information into iTunes Producer for uploading, the info must match what is in the internal metadata. In this case, the book is called Mississippi, but in  iTunes Producer it is spelled Misssissippi. There is an extra "s". This will cause an error.

    how do you make the hippih keyboard pair with an ipad

    I know this question is old but I just found out the real answer. After you turn on the little switch on the left side of the HIPPIH AppsKey Keyboard and the blue light blinks, I want you to look just above it.   Do you see that hole right above the word PAIRING?  Go grab a paper clip and press down in to the hole for about 2 seconds.   This sends a signal to the ipad and in the BLUETOOTH menu you should see "Keyboard" under DEVICES. Click on it and dialogue box will pop up asking you to put in a passcode for the keyboard.
    It took me way too long to figure this out.
    Stupid recessed button.

  • How do you match the audio and text with the typer writer effect in Final Cut Pro?

    I am making a video and I want to sync up the text with the audio using the typer writer effect.  For example I want when the music makes a bing noise I want a letter to pop up.  How do you set the exact time for each letter that comes up instead of just choosing the duration.
    Thank you!!!!

    The most common cause is user error in understanding how these things are recorded in the acquisition system. You've got to first determine in it's easily solved by properly transcoding or if you're actually just seeing a display lag. Mismatched sync is based on different timebase scales so the offset gets worse the longer a clip plays.
    The most common solution is to unlink the components, time them precisely to the frame, and change the speed of one component to match precisely the length of the other. It's easy and usually results in a slight pitch change that is indiscernible.
    But you want to figure out the cause, not just he solution, so you can fix it in production instead of in post.

  • After using media from iCloud on a MacBook , how do you send the media back onto the cloud so the media is stored there and not in my MacBook?

    After downloading media from iCloud and watching/listening to it, how do you send it back to the iCloud for storing it rather than leave it in my MacBook?

    Apps, music, books, tv shows, movies and music videos are already in iCloud.  All you need to do is delete them from your Mac and you can download them again in the future as explained here: Download past purchases.  (This is not available for audiobooks, ringtones or tones.)  However, to download them again they still have to be available in the iTunes, iBooks and App stores, and the copyright owner has to allow it.  To avoid the risk of them not being available in the future, keep them in your iTunes library.

    Edit > Preferences > Devices, select backup sets to delete. Are you sure that is what you want to do though? You need to have a valid backup of the current state of your device before upgrading in case something goes wrong.

  • How do you change the apple id associated with an ipod?

    Have an apple ipod touch and just got an ipad.  want to link them; however, the apple id that is used on the ipod is also being used by another ipod.  I have a separate id for the ipad.  How can I change the one ipod to match the ipad?

    Yu do not need seperate Apple iD for different iDevices.  ITunes purchases are locked to the Apple iD?iTunes account that purchased them.  You can go to Settings>Store and log out of one account and log into another.

  • How do you change the Apple ID associated with an iOS device?

    So…I made the mistake of putting the wrong Apple ID (I have three – don't ask) on my iOS devices. If I try to change the Apple ID on my Mac, it wants to erase everything that I have on my Mac that is also stored on the iCloud. That is not a good solution. So, I want to change the Apple ID associated with my iOS devices (far less to lose there). The problem is that niether of my iOS devices will let me change the Apple ID associated with them – at least not that I can find.
    Does anyone know how to do that so I can get my Mac on the same page with my iPhone/iPad?
    Thanks.

    This is the kind of question where it helps to know what you are trying to achieve since the way you phrased the question has several interpretations.  CarolynSamit gave you one, here's another two:
    Apple ID Support - http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/  -> Apple ID FAQ http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
    "How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
        You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Select your country and language, enter your desired changes, then click the Continue button. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See How to change the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information."
    How to change the name you use for your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40
    Another answer is you cannot.  Items purchased with one AppleID cannot be transferred to a different account.

  • How do you determine the IP address of an ethernet bridge?

    I've got a US Robotics ethernet bridge connected to a Mac running OS 10.3.9, and I'm trying to access the bridge's web browser interface. (Once I get to that interface, I'll be home free.)
    The bridge does not have a default IP address, the connection software on its CD-ROM is PC-only, and USR tech support is baffled. So how can I find out its address?
    I've tried looking in System Preferences -> Network, in System Profiler and in Network Utility, but it appears that they only display the computer's address, not the bridge's.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    I presume you are taking about the USR5430?
    No, it's the USR5432, which unfortunately doesn't have a default IP address (unlike the 5430). The USR site has this to say about connecting to the 5432:
    Macintosh and Linux Users
    The networking device that the Bridge is connected to probably has some form of Web User Interface where you can view a client list. Refer to your networking device's documentation to determine how to view this information.
    When you find the client list, locate the Bridge. You can do this by verifying the LAN MAC address that is on the bottom label of the Bridge and what appears in the client list. Write down the IP address of the Bridge for future reference.
    Open a Web browser, type in the IP address of the Bridge, and then press Enter. This will open the Web User Interface of the Bridge.
    The bridge only has an IP address when it is in
    configuration mode.
    That makes sense. And I am in fact trying to locate the bridge's address in order to configure it.
    Nevertheless, thank you for the suggestion.

  • How do you change the phone number associated with apple id

    I bought my wife an IPad 2 and when setting it up it said I could change the phone number later in settings.   Now when I get a text-- she gets a copy on her IPad.   I can't see where in settings to change this to her phone number.

    The phone number associated with an Apple ID is changed here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    Click on manage my Apple ID and sign in. Then go to your profile and make the necessary changes.
    But your question is a little confusing. Controlling which device receives texts and Messages is done in Setstings
    Settings > Messages > Send and Receive from
    Make the necessary changes there.
