HT204291 Using an ethernet cable for Apple tv
I found that my mirroring was lagging. Would it be possible for me to connect to the Apple tv with an ethernet cable?
I plugged the Apple TV box into my router via ethernet, and voila! All works now. I can mirror my desktop just fine. HBO Go apparently shut off video streaming (FAIL) so I guess I'll watch that stuff on demand or on my laptop.

Im using an ethernet cable and apple tv picks up my pc but not my internet?
the message that comes up on apple tv tells me
it detects my netork but not my internet.and directs
me to go to the configure the network again,i do that
using the auto function on the ethernet config.
it shows my an IP address
subnet mask
router and dns are blank
and shows an ethernet address.
thanks for your patience im new to this. -
Does iTunes use wireless music stream if using an Ethernet cable for AE?
Hello,
I have been having trouble with airtunes for some time now. I've tried lots of different things without much success. I think there might be too many wireless networks in my building and I am getting a lot of interference. So i'm thinking of trying a wired method.
If I plugged an ethernet cable from the computer into the Airport Express (which is then plugged into the stereo), does airtunes still send the music stream wirelessly or would it use the ethernet cable instead?
Thanks
WP1. Will this work (i.e., add wireless to the office and maintain my existing wireless in my home)? If so, what do I need to do? Specifically, do I need to configure WDS and (if so) does 2Wire support this?
What you are attempting to do is actually called a "roaming" network in Apple terms and not WDS. In a roaming network, AirPort base stations are connected together on the same subnet of an Ethernet network. Each base station is setup as a bridge, but share the same network name (SSID) and encryption (if used). It sounds like it should be possible to setup the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a roaming network. The following is how it would be done with AirPort Extreme Base Stations:
- Network configuration: DSL/Cable Modem or Internet Router > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] AEBS1 [LAN] > (Ethernet cable) > [LAN] AEBS2 [LAN] > (Ethernet cable) > [LAN] AEBSn (Note: In your case, you will have a single AX, instead of multiple AEBSs.)
- Setup the second AEBS, as a bridge. (Disable "Distribute IP addresses")
- For each AEBS in the roaming network:
-- Connect to the same subnet of the Ethernet network
-- Provide a unique Base Station Name
-- The Network Name should be identical
-- If using security, use the same encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc.) and password.
-- Make sure that the channel is set at least three channels apart from the next AEBS.
2. Assuming I can, can I have that same AX (i.e., the one connected vis-à-vis Ethernet cable) be used for wireless printing in the office while providing wireless internet? Any special configuration to allow that?
Yes.
3. If this network desire does not work, is there another set of hardware that I should purchase (i.e., a different wireless DSL modem, Airport Extreme, other???).
The configuration as you planned it should work...but, in case it doesn't, I'd recommend that you replace your current wireless router with an AEBS. You can then get either another AEBS or an AX to create the roaming network. -
I bought a new iMac today. I'm using migration assistant to move all my software, but the time just keeps getting longer. It says connect an Ethernet cable for faster data transfer. I did, but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?
m1doc,
Are you migrating from a Mac or a MS Window machine? Either way you probably should be in touch with AppleCare, you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support. They can usually help on issues like this. If you don't know the phone number please use http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 to help find the number in your country. -
I cannot access my Apple TV in WiFi mode. I have used it previously, but it keeps saying it is not connected to the network. My broadband is running. I was able to access Apple TV using an Ethernet cable. I have entered the wireless password as confirmed by my ISP without any success.
Hi,
Thanks for trying to solve my problem. It appears that the password I was inserting was incorrect. I now have access.
Thanks again. -
how do i migrate files from a imac to macbook pro using an ethernet cable. the migration program asks for firewire and i don't own a fireWire. I do own an ethernet cable though
A FW cable would be far faster & Easier, but with Ethernet you need a compatible version of Migration Assistant running on both Macs.

I used an ethernet cable between my iMac and Time Capsule for the initial backup. Now that initial backup is concluded, can I assume I can simply unplug the Time Capsule from my computer without any glitches and Time Capsule will then run wirelessly. Is this assumption correct?
can I assume I can simply unplug the Time Capsule from my computer without any glitches and Time Capsule will then run wirelessly. Is this assumption correct?
Yes, if the computer will be able to receive a strong wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
I did not disable wireless. So I assume the backups are occurring both with the ethernet and wirelessly.
It is inot possible to have both an "active" Ethernet and "active" wireless signal simultaneously. If an Ethernet connection is established, your computer will default to the Ethernet connection. If the Ethernet cable is unplugged, the computer will revert to the wireless connection.
I also show 2 wireless networks available through Airport. Shouldn't there only be one now?
You have a simultaneous dual band Time Capsule. That means that it will always be providing both a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz network.
I named my new network the same name as the old network. This enabled all of our devices to continue with their connection without entering the new network and/or passwords; however, I am afraid this may pose problems in the future somehow. Any input on this issue as well?
Things should be fine. Devices will connect to the best signal.....either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz....based on their capabilties and location in relation to the Time Capsule. -
Using an ethernet cable to connect Time Cap to iMac?
Hello,
This is a pretty basic question, but I'm not really sure what the correct answer is.
I use a Time Capsule as my WiFi unit in my house (I have a cable internet connection---cable comes out of the wall and goes into a cable modem, and then from there, an ethernet cable goes from the cable modem into my Time Capsule).
I was told by an Apple expert that I can probably get a faster internet connection if I use an ethernet cable to connect my iMac to my Time Capsule (as opposed to using it via WiFi, as I am currently doing). I have two questions regarding this:
1) Is it true that my speed will increase?
2) How do I connect the two together? Do I just use a spare ethernet cable and plug that into the rear of my Time Capsule, and then the other end into my iMac?
I want to keep the WiFi part working, because I have other Apple devices that use WiFi (iPhone, iPad, AppleTV).
Thank you for any information and/or suggestions.I was told by an Apple expert that I can probably get a faster internet connection if I use an ethernet cable to connect my iMac to my Time Capsule (as opposed to using it via WiFi, as I am currently doing). I have two questions regarding this:
1) Is it true that my speed will increase?
The expert is only providing half of the story. He forgot to tell you that your Internet connection speed is determined by the plan that you have with your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
This is the bottleneck on your (and my) network since your wireless connection speed capability is already much higher than your ISP can ever hope to deliver.
For example, let's say that your plan with your provider supplies 20 Mbps. Your wireless network will typically handle much higher speeds...anywhere from 100-250+ Mbps.
Yes, an Ethernet connection has yet higher speed potential than a wireless connection, but if your wireless connection speed potential is already much faster than your Internet connection can deliver, having even higher speed potential with an Ethernet connection will do nothing for your performance.
In other words, your Time Capsule (or any other router) cannot take the signal that your Internet Provider supplies and make it go faster, whether it is using wireless or Ethernet connections.
Your Internet connection speed will only be as fast as your plan allows. If you need a faster Internet connection, you will need to speak to your ISP about a faster plan.
2) How do I connect the two together? Do I just use a spare ethernet cable and plug that into the rear of my Time Capsule, and then the other end into my iMac?
Yes, that is correct. Be sure to turn off the wireless on your iMac as well since you no longer need that connection. -
How do I access my time capsule using a Ethernet cable connected to my pc?
I am trying to access my saved files on my time capsule. I don't have internet so I'm trying to use an Ethernet cable. I'm using a PC laptop not a Mac. I have no idea how to access them.
Load the airport utility for windows.. as that helps by loading the bonjour for windows service.
Then open windows explorer and type the IP of the TC directly which you will find in the airport utility.
\\10.0.1.1 (that is default.. replace with whatever the actual is). -
I have just used migration assistant to import photos (using an ethernet cable) from my PC. It has worked but they have gone into a new user on my MacPro. How can I merge them into the one user account.
How many pictures (or how many bytes) are we talking? Now that the pictures are imported one way to cross users is to use a removable drive (although large volumes of files preclude this).
The other is to login as the user where the pictures are, then copy them into the public drop box of the user where you want the picture.
The arrow is showing (in ths example) copy files from the Pictures folder for my user to the guest user accounts public dropbox. When you do this you may have to authenticate and you won't be able to see the results of the copy until you log in as the other user.
All users are in the folder "/Users/" -
Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different? When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Ability to connect Audio Cable for Apple TV to Apple Speaker
Can I connect my Apple TV XtremeMac XtremeHD Toslink Audio Cable for Apple TV to my external Apple Iphone speaker?
There is only a single audio cable connection behind the speaker that normally goes from the Iphone.
Is there some sort of adapter I can use?
Thanks.

My Itouch 3rd gen can't be recognize by my computer but when I put my iphone4 its can be recognize I use the same cable for both of them.
Does it charge?
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Started the transfer process from my old MacBook to a new MacBook pro using Migration assistant 12 hours ago. The screen says transferring your information. Moving about 270 GB using an Ethernet cable directly connected. Is this normal?
You can get a thunderbolt to firewire adapter. You can then get a firewire 400 to 800 cable and put the old computer in target mode. Then you can follow these instructions.
