HT1941 trying to connect time apsule to macbook air with the ethernet cable in the WAN port the airport utility doesn't detect it

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.

Theres almost a trick to it for first time users, goto SETTINGS...General......Cellular (if Verizon) ....Personal Hotspot, turn it on.....turn on wifi on your Mac, select your Iphone. Enter password.
If you take too long doing it, youll need turn turn off and on real quick the "personal hotspot" slider on the Phone.......then go quick again thur the Mac.

You may have to see about using the Recovery HD partition to attempt to erase and restore useful function of the capacity lost to the former Windows installation.
And you may have to backup your contents outside the computer to do it. Disk Utility on the Mac OS X historically has not been able to touch a BootCamp created partition; so if BootCamp cannot remove it, then you have to see how to do the equivalent of a reformat of the entire drive (less Recovery partition?) then reinstall your OS X. Maybe from internet recovery, then get your applications, etc from the Mac App store, etc.
A complete system clone of your OS X on an external HDD would be another method to restore after reformat, of the portion you want whole again, not necessarily the space where Recovery may live.
There may be (an)other way(s).
Perhaps someone with recent experience
in this matter can reply & discuss options.
With my antiques, they almost know what I want before I tell them.
Hopefully yours will after you talk to it awhile.
Good luck & happy computing!

I have a MacBook Air with OS X and am having trouble accessing the ADT Pulse Home Security System cameras. The mobile (iPhone and iPad) apps allow access no problem, but I can't get a picture on the MacBook. Have tried Safari and Firefox browsers.

You cannot; it's intentionally disabled to guard against accidental file loss. If you press Option when pasting the files, they'll be moved instead of copied.

Why wont my mac find my time capsule when hard wired with an ethernet cable

Im truying to connec to my time capsle with an ethernet cable and my macbook pro wont fnd it?

How old is the TC?
Is the TC setup to join a wireless network? If so TC turns off the ethernet ports.. strange but true.
If neither of the above.. it is just normal ML networking with wet string standard.
Reboot the TC.. Reboot the whole network.. restart in order.. modem, router. TC.. other network equipment.. clients.. (some of these are probably one and the same device.. leave 2min between each).

Trying to connect HP1020 to new MacBook air

Hello,
I'm trying to connect my HP Laserjet 1020 to my new MacBook Air. I have a cable so it's not wireless. It's an excellent printer, has served me for years and I really don't have the money to buy a new one. Is there any way I can use the printer on my new computer? The HP website say that don't have a driver for Mac. Can anyone help? I'd very much appreciate it!
Many thanks.

Hi ella1,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you want to setup the printer on the Mac.
I will be happy to help you.
There are no Mac drivers for this model available.
It was only intended for Windows operating system.
I have provided the driver page for the Laserjet 1020. You will notice there are no Mac drivers available.
Sorry about that.

Why it took too much time to buy Macbook air with upgraded in Cambodia re-sellers apple license shop, it is already 3 months and still not come yet.

I have ordered a Macbook air 11' since April 2013, until now I do not receive yet. The store in Cambodia was accredited by Apple as product resellers. They told me that the apple distributer is not responded to their request. UMMMH

Read your post twice, however it contains one glaring error, you only mention a "NEW" battery in the last paragraph. I love your spirit of fixing the Air , I used to fix laptops long ago. So what is a "NEW" battery vs. a new battery. CLARIFY.
Alas however days of "fixing" things on notebooks ended a long time ago, now its just:
1.locate bad
2. toss bad part
3. insert new part
Only 3 important sections in the above post:
The new I/O board works, but only when the battery isn't plugged in to the logic board. Once I unplug the battery, the AC charger's green light goes on and it'll boot. If I plug the old battery in, the green light goes on and the computer will boot, but it still says no battery is installed.
My first step was to open it up and look for corrosion. There was a bit and I spent a few days cleaning it off with a kids' toothbrush and 99% alcohol
battery connector on logic......, but there was rust on half of the connectors
Your logic board is kaput.
However since your information above is contradictory about "new" battery, since you dont indicate anywhere you HAVE 2 batteries, mere corrosion at the logic board is insufficient to determine dead logic board, ...try ANOTHER battery as last eliminative causation.
If 2 batteries fault, your logic board is dead
Salvage parts for resale, cost of logic replacement and removing (I assume a good SSD) the SSD is too high vs. a new Air, or a "new" used Air.

Connecting time capsule to wireless modem router via ethernet cable

Hi
I use my TC to store all my data and itunes music/media. I've noticed that when purchasing music, the download speeds are quite slow, even though when I test the broadband speed, it's at a reletively ok 5 mbps. If I hard wire the tc to the modem router, will the downloads be faster? If so, how do I connect them up with ethernet cable. I've done so, and nothing seems to appearing on my desktop.
cheers
Mark.

Reset the TC to factory settings. This will allow you to reconfigure the TC to use Ethernet.

Disconnect the ethernet cable from your mac,

connect the power to the D-Link, wait for at least thirty seconds,
connect the ethernet cable to the mac.

How to sync macbook air with iMac?

How do I sync my macbook air with my iMac? I want to use the iMac as my server and use the MacBook air as a traveling machine. Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
If you mean "How do I mange e-mail and/or files between two or more devices"? You have to get organized.
If you have POP3 mail it's somewhat complicated: you set your "traveling machine" to receive (but not remove from the e-mail server) new messages. Realize that if you reply from the traveling machine that message will not show up anyplace but the sent box of the machine from which you sent the reply (you can export/import sent messages via a jump/thumb drive back to the desktop when you cease traveling). If you delete a message from the traveling machine you may/or may not have it also deleted from the e-mail server. All those choices or options are sent in e-mail behavior or options (what it's called/where its found depends on your choice of e-mail client)
The desktop machine is set to download messages from the server. When you are traveling the e-mail client must not be started or running (or you may miss messages on your traveling machine because they were downloaded at home before you turned on your traveling e-mail). Once get home you start your e-mail download all messages still left on the server - delete duplicates and import your sent messages.
If you have an IMAP4 e-mail client it's much simpler you set up the traveling machine to leave all the e-mail on the e-mail server. You will see all the "new" messages AND when you get home you can have the Desktop see/download your mail sent from the traveling machine as the traveling machine was acting as a "terminal". Again exactly how you do this depends on your choice of e-mail client.
For files you would keep a copy (or backup) on iCloud, or you could keep all your work organized in folders that can easily be transferred to jump/thumb drives or accessed through file sharing on your home network.
