How to backup to TC for the first time with ethernet or USB

I had an existing wireless network and have added a TC to it as a password protected wireless device. I can initiate a wireless backup using Time Machine from my desktop Mac, but anticipating that this will be a very long first backup, I'm trying to set up a wired first time backup using ethernet. So, I've plugged an ethernet cable between the desktop Mac and one of the ethernet ports on the TC and then switched off my desktop Airport connection. I was hoping that I could then just backup using TM, but the TC doesn't seem to be recognised.
Can anyone tell me what to do? Presumably I'm doing something wrong because most people who have bought TCs are likely to have done their first backup through ethernet.

amthie,
Here are the steps I have used to perform the initial TC backup.
*Using Time Capsule via Temporary Ethernet ONLY Connection*
Connect one end of a Cat-5 Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports of the TC (<•••>) NOT to the WAN port (wheel icon). Connect the other end to your Macs ethernet port.
Next, go to System Prefs --> Network.
At the top of the window note what “Location” you are currently using, as you will need to return to this setting later.
Now, change “Location” to “Edit Locations”.
Click the “+” button and create a new location named “Ethernet Only”.
Click “Done”.
In the Services Pane on the left, eliminate all other services using the “-” button leaving “Ethernet” only. If you choose to leave other services listed then al the very least move Ethernet to the top of the list using the Action Menu (gear button) at the bottom and "Set Service Order".
Verify that “Configure” says “Using DHCP”.
Click "Apply" in the lower right.
You should be seeing an assigned IP Address and the Status should say “Connected”. The dot beside “Ethernet” should be green.
Now begin your backup or transfer of files.
You should still have internet access during this period.
Once the backup/transfer is complete, remember to change the Network Prefs “Location” back to “Automatic”, or whatever setting it had originally been, to restore Airport connectivity.
Cheers!

HT4859 How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?

How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.

I go to sign in for the first time and I get Id has not been used before please select review and..... well I hit review and nothing happens.. I try to go direct to apple id services and it says either my email or my password is incorrect. I've already requested to new passwords used them and requested a verification email which I get and go to verify and it is not working.. VERY FRUSTRATING...

How to charge iphone 5s for the first time?

Hello! I'm picking up my new iphone 5s tomorrow from the shop and I'm wondering how I'm supposed to charge it the first time.
I REALLY don't want to ruin the battery life on my phone considering my iphone 5's battery right now is just terrible. It dies in around 2 hours
So when i take it out of the box and turn it on, should I use all the battery on it right then and set everything up? Or am i supposed to charge it for 8 hours or whatever?

When you take the new iPhone out of the box, assuming you have to activate and setup, plug it in so you do all of the work with a solid power source. See what the charge level is, and if over 50% don't worry about charging when you are finised with the setup unless you feel like letting it sit and top-up the battery.
You cannot over-charge as the unit has a protection circuit that shuts down the charging when the battery hits 100%. The battery will trickle down even sitting, and when it gets down to 93-95% charge level, the charging circuit starts up and charges the battery back to 100%.
While some say to drain the battery all the way regularly, that actually is not good for a Lithium-Ion battery...studies show a battery drained to 50% and recharged will have three to four times the life of a battery drained all the way to shutdown regularly.
And keep in mind, batteries are expendable items and will degrade over time with usage.

Setting up Mail for the first time with OSX Server 10.5.6

I just got done reading the 100+ page mail services administration manual. A few things are unclear and I wanted to clear those up prior to embarking on my first adventure configuring mail services.
The questions I have are the following:
1. When using mail for incoming and outgoing, do I 'have' to use local DNS services or can I simply change the MX records by my DNS Provider?
2. I have more than one IP on the server using the 'IP Alias' command. Will the mail server be able to distinguish the different mail domains base on IP Address, or will virtual domains need to be configured?
3. If virtual domains need to be configured, is this configuration simple or is it semi complex?
4. Provided the answer to questions two and three, what is the best configuration for the firewall settings on the server? Allow IMAP inbound, POP3, and SMTP? What else?
Thanks in advance

1. Mail service relies heavily on DNS. You may run your own DNS servers on the same network as your mail server or you can use a DNS provider to host your zone data including your MX record.
2. Your server will listen on all available network devices by default. It will only accept those messages for the hosts that are listed in the general pane, the local host list, or the virtual domain list under the advanced pane. No virtual domains need to be configured if all users are real users (i.e. shows up in WorkGroup Manager).
3. As stated in (2), you do not need virtual domains to receive e-mail for multiple hostnames or domain names, but you may want to do so if you want separate accounts with same usernames for different domains. E.g. [email protected] and [email protected] will go to two separate inboxes. It's not that difficult, but rather tedious if you already have a lot of e-mail accounts set up.
4. You must allow SMTP through the firewall to receive mail from the outside world. Depending on your clients, you may open IMAP or POP. There are no other specific ports necessary for mail to work at this level... except for Submission (587). Many ISP's block port 25 for mail clients. You may want to use port 587 for submissions so that your mobile users don't have to switch back and forth between the two ports when they change locations. This is done by editing /etc/imapd.conf manually.

Hello everyone. I am trying to make my first

have the freshly downloaded driver
C:\jdk1.5.0\jre\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-3.0.16-ga
-bin.jar" installed in the right spot. You shouldn't be putting that JAR in jre/lib/ext, even if you've found some docs to tell you to do it. Only language extensions (e.g., packages that begin w/javax) belong there.
I get the following exception...
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver

a different driver I should use? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.The driver is correct. The class loader found it, even though I think you should use the -classpath option to find the JAR.
It's your code.

Using QuickTime 7 Pro for the first time with Windows. What can it do?

Greetings,
After spending almost two hours with Apple reps, I finally figured out where the controls are for QuickTime Pro. I have started to use Miraizon's Cinematize Pro 2 to extract clips as mpeg-4 files (a lot smaller than a QT movie, though maybe it can be made smaller if I compressed it, though I don't know how). Now I wish I knew exactly what I am able to do with my mpeg-4 clip once I've extracted it.
So the question is, having a PC, Windows XP and QT 7 Pro, exactly what features does it have for editing? I opened a mpeg-4 with QT Player and of course have the following to choose from under the "edit" function: cut, copy, delete, select all,select none, trim to selection, add to movie, add to selection and scale, find and preferences. So please tell me at least what I can do with this program and at least how to begin.
By the way, I have a website and use Microsoft FrontPage 2003. I have a combination of video types previously made and sent to me by others; some are .wmv, some are .mov. Now as I use Cinematize 2 Pro, I am creating mpeg-4s. This choice is made because I'd like to keep the file as small as possible without losing quality per se and also I want to reduce to a minimum the problems anyone visiting my site who wants to see the clip might have. Also you should know I insert the movie files onto my websie as plug-ins/MIME files.
I'm new to the list and would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks!

QuickTime Pro is a rather simple editing application and once you learn how to make a "selection" (letter i and o keys) and then fine tune it (Shift and right left arrow keys) you're on your way.
You can also "scrub" through large files by using the J, K and L keys or copy/paste selections into new Player windows.
Dozens of image, video and audio formats can be opened by QuickTime Pro and then "Exported" (converted) to other file formats. It can even open plain text files to use as "titles", narration text for the hearing impaired.
The Windows version can also make "One Click" audio recordings (Mac version can make video and audio files). A simple way to add a narration track to your video. Since QuickTime .mov files can have up to 99 tracks and support about 27 languages you can make one file for many nations.
QuickTime Pro is also a very powerful authoring tool.
QuickTime Pro can even create files that view without a "box":
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/D/index.html
Some of my QuickTime files and Web pages as examples:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/RedneckTexasXmas/index.html
It can also be used to make "presentation" files:

What can it do? It's all up to your imagination.

HT4859 how long does it take to backup your phone for the first time using icloud?

I have never used Icloud before and now my phone wants to be resotred so I am trying to back everything up using Icloud it just dosent seem to be moving and it just continues to say estimated time ...

Hello there jspin11,
The amount of time that the iCloud backup will take depends on a few factors the 2 most important are the amount of data to be backed up, and the internet connection speed.
I found a great resource for troubleshooting iCloud backups named iCloud: Troubleshooting creating backups found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3992.
General information
iCloud Backup requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
Automatic backups occur when you've plugged in your iOS device, locked the screen, and have connected it to Wi-Fi.
You can manually start a backup by tapping Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup (requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet).
iCloud Backup will provide helpful information and status messages related to backups at the bottom ofSettings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
If automatic backups don't work as expected, test to see what happens when you start a manual backup by tapping Back Up Now at the bottom of the Storage & Backup screen.
Backups and restores both take time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your data and the speed of your network, you may need to give more time than you expected to a backup or restore.
Make sure you have at least 50 MB of free space available on your iOS device before you back up. If you have no space available on your device, iCloud Backup can fail in some cases. You can verify how much free space you have available on your iOS device in Settings > General > About.
SettingsiCloud Backup settings are controlled on a per-device basis from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
To view Storage & Backup settings:
Tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
Tap your device's name. From here you can:
View the size of your backups and see the storage used by each app.
Enable or disable Backup for each app.
Delete Backups.
Buy more storage.
If you're out of iCloud Storage space, you can apply several solutions:
Exclude Camera Roll and other large data from iCloud backups of your device by going to iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage and choosing your device.
Remove some of the larger files on your device, such as large audio or video files, from your Camera Roll in order make more space.
Remove existing Backups.
Purchase more storage.
For more information about managing and using the Storage & Backup settings, see this article.
If an issue persists and you are not able to resolve it using the methods discussed in this article, contact iCloud Support for additional assistance.
All the best,
Sterling

How to configure MWST -IN for the first time

Dear Pals,
I have newly installed SAP SD, MWST is not configured in the software, please let me know how to configure MWST.
2. Country India is too not there in the Tax Country list, how do I configure.
3. If I need to configure two tax procedure, to be poped up in master data, how do I configure. Request detailed configuration help.
Regards
Madhu

Hi Madhu
1. MWST is not a condition type defiend fro India
2. You are unable to Find Country India , because the CIN Version ( Add on ) is not patched in your R/3 System
Now coming to the MWST configuration
MWST is the Condition type used to determine the tax.
( Same as Pricing , the configuration)
YOu need to maintain condition records based on
Customer Tax Classification ( Maintained in Customer Master)
Material Tax Classification ( Maintained in Material Master)
Destination Country
or Domestic sale( no need for destination country)
the same MWST is picked in your p[ricing procedure.
Each Condition record needs to have the Tax Code
e.e
Local sales Tax 4%
Central Sales Tax 10 %
the we create this in FTXP transaction.
