Is it possible to be connected with a 3G modem for internet access and a WiFi router for printer sharing at the same time?

For our only internet access we have a 3G wireless modem. I have since purchased a WiFi printer and router to connect all the comptuters to in the house. The PCs have no problem with using both the 3G connection and the WiFi signal at the same time to print, however, the MacBook Pro will not connect to the 3G network and the router, it will drop the internet access from the modem and attempt to connect via WiFi (which has no internet access). Is there a solution that is available to remedy this? I attempted to create an adhoc printer network, however, the macbooks again will not print off of this, only the PCs. And I'm getting a bit frustrated overall with this.

The 3G wireless modem is on one of the PC's correct?
Why don't you pass the Internet through the Ethernet port to the router via Cat5 cable, then have that transmit a Wifi signal that everything else can use, then connect the printer to the router for print sharing?
You would have to turn off the wifi on the comptuer with the 3G modem as it's physically connected to the router and can't connect to the other machines as they are all connected to the router for sharing.
The Mac has the ability to pass, Internet Sharing in the System Preferences.
Do you have software for the Mac to run the 3G modem?

Have one WiFi signal into the apartment for my Air, and another wifi signal for my 5c phone plan. Both from the same provider. Expensive. Is there a way to 'combine' WiFi signals so I pay only for one, but can get on the Internet with my Air?

Roamingnome, thanks for your response. Although I have been a Bell (Canada) customer for my WiFi signal for years, the 5c and its necessary mobility plan, is very recent. Some years ago, Bell supplied its own ‘router’ for my computer, and claimed that it was possible to get their WiFi signal only with the router they supplied. When I recently received the 5c, I wondered if the plan it requires, which is within the much wider, overall Bell zone, could be used somehow to get my Air online - some sort of tethering? - that allows me to give up the Air WiFi service and router all together, but still get the Air connected. Here in Canada, Bell Mobility and other Bell services are very separate. Any suggestions appreciated.

Yes and No. yes for sharing music and apps. No for icloud/facetime/imessage - she should get her own id for that.

Can't connect and use 2 Store.E Canvio HDDs at the same time

Hi there,
I have 2 Store.e Canvio devices: 2TB and 3TB respectively but, it looks like I can't connect/use them at the same time, as if I do, one of them (the lastest I have connected), becomes inaccessible ("denied access").
If I disconnect the first device I connected, the second one, starts working,,,
Is a weird issue,and I can't find anyone experiencing something similar...
Any idea how could it be causing this, and/or how could I solve it?
Thanks

Im wondering if the same problem appears using another computer or additional USB hub with an additional power supply.
From my point of few this issue could be related to low power provided by single USB port.
Both HDDs seem to support the USB 3.0 standard.
The common USB 2.0 port provides 500mA and USB 3.0 requires 900mA
So this means that two USB devices connected simultaneously would use 1800mA which might be too much for the notebooks USB ports

Internet connection sharing, network printer: not at the same time

Here's the setup:
Mac+airport connected to wireless router connected via ethernet to network printer on wireless network "One".
I want to share my internet connection via airport/"One" with my iPod Touch.
I set up internet sharing, using "One" as the acceptable route. iPod works. Network printer doesn't.
If I turn off sharing, network printer works, iPod (obviously) doesn't.
How do I set it up so I can 1) print to my network AND b) share my internet connection with the iPod?
TIA

An update to this...
IP Address of AE is 169.254.231.99

Unable to connect to web services. Confirm internet access and try again HP 7520

Every Friday for the last 6 months I have scanned my time sheets from my HP7520 to my email and the forwarded to the office. All of a sudden Last Friday I get the message above in the subject line. ALL other features work just fine!!!!!!! I can print, I can scan (just not to email) I can print (wirelessly) from my phone or even my laptop. But the only thing that does not work is the scan to email function, UGHHHHHHHH I read tons of forum user have gotten help with this issue from Garytech1. Please help!!!!!! I have to resort to using my S3 phone to scan and email and the quality is sub par for payroll needs. Thanks so much!

Hi amenhilady,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand the scan to email feature of your Photosmart 7520 printer is not functioning.
If you are still experiencing the same issue, please try the following steps.
Please turn off your printer.
Please turn off your router. If your router doesn’t have an on/off switch, please unplug the power cord from the router.
After waiting a full 60 seconds please turn on your router (or plug it back in).
After the router has completed its startup routine please turn on your printer.
After the printer has completed its startup routine, please test the scan to email feature. If it works there no need to continue with any further trouble shooting steps.
Please set a manual IP address and manual DNS servers for the printer. I have included a link to another post with the steps, including screen shots on how to do this. Don’t worry that the screen shots show a Photosmart 7510 printer, the steps are the same.
Please test the scan to email feature. If it works there is no need to continue with any further trouble shooting steps.
Please call HP’s Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region. If you live outside the USA/Canada region please click here to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.

Cannot connect iphone 5 to Parrot, battery is terrible and volumes are low? Anyone else got the same issues?

so these seem to be my issues with the phone so far. no matter what i try with my Parrot handsfree the phone will not connect. The general volumes of the phone seem lower than the iphone4, especially when using the new earphones. And i cant say im that impressed with the battery life. Today i made 2 phone calls, updated a facebook status and listened to one album on spotify, this resulting in a pretty much dead battery? doesnt seem right to me considering apple advertised the battery life being able to handle many hours of youtube streaming over 3G?

Ok, this is good info. It means that right now Apache is not able to serve content outside of your machine. That's why even the native browser can't see your site. Once we get that problem solved you should be able to see the site in Edge Inspect as well.
Here's some things to try:
This might be because your firewall is blocking port 8888. Try turning off your firewall temporarily and see if http://192.168.2.4:8888/yogaFest2013/ works from the native browser on your device
Open a terminal window and type in the following: netstat -an | grep "LISTEN" and let me know what it says
Open your httpd.conf file and look for a section like this:
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
Listen 80
Let me know what your's looks like.

My two iMacs frequently go offline when I have our iPad and two iPhones-5 connected with Airport Express (2nd edition). If I disable WiFi on my three "i" devices no problem. Any thoughts on this?

.....doesn't that seems to suggest the modem?
That is what I have suggested....twice now. From posts above:
My opinion would be that it is likely not the ISP, unless you have complete loss of Internet service for all devices at the same time......it is the Comtrend device....
and
I believe that the problem lies with the modem, and not the ISP signal.
Your ISP will likely have a different opinion, though. Please keep us posted on your progress.

2 wireless connections at the same time

Hi !
First, sorry for my english, i am french....(yeah i know i know....)
Let me explain my problem. I have at home a Macbook pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.7, a time capsule (1To) and a modem/router netgear. It's a big house so my Netgear modem/router in antoher room.
I would like to use my Time capsule only as an external hard drive (wireless) to have the maximum power of data transmission with the norm 802.11n. I know this norm don't have a lot of range ( 5 meters...)
How can i configure my time capsule to do that ?
Will i be able to connect at the same time (with my Macbook pro) to my time capsule (on 802.11n) and keep my internet connection active ( 802.11 G) through my Netgear router ?
I want to do that just because my router Netgear is to far away from my macbook pro to use the 802.11n with time capsule. So if connect the time capsule to the netgear via ethernet, i loose a lot of power for the data transmission (too slow the see movie etc, backup copy etc..).
I hope you understand me and it will be very nice to you to help me.
Thanks !

Hi Tesserax
Thanks for the reply, sorry maybe I didn't explain my idea. I don't want to connect the Airport Express to the router well certainly not via a cable. I want to have the Airport Express basically be a hub for a printer and a couple of external hard drives and not be attached to a modem. I want to try and keep the current modem/router configuration I have, if possible. Therefore I'm asking whether I can have a wireless connection to the router for internet access and a separate connection to the Airport Express for the printer/hardrives. If this is not possible that's ok.
Thanks again

Is it possible to have an attachment within a pdf doc print at the same time the main doc prints?

Okay, so this may be kind of a weird question. We have some users who are wanting to add a page to an already existing xml document and correct me if I'm wrong, but I've read that it's not possible to add/delete pages from a pdf that's in xml format. Since that is not possible, I have added the page to the xml document as an attachment. Now what I am wanting to know is if it is possible to have the attachment print out at the same time as the main document. We are using the latest version of Adobe Reader and I have access to Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 & 10 and then I have access to Adobe Acrobat Pro 7. I've been unable to find anyting via google or by searching this forum so hopefully I'll draw out some kind of smart cookies and we'll get this figured out. I appreciate any and all input!
Thanks,

I know of no way to do this with Reader or XML.

Is it possible to have Oracle client 7 and 9 at the same time?

I have Windows XP and I need to have both clients at the same time in the same machine.
Is it possible to have multiple oracle homes, one for each client version?
thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick replay...I supposed that answers but I have seen some info where it said that Oracle Client releases previous to 8.0.4 supports only single home.
The case is my customer has already installed and Oracle Client 7 to access some old database, now we need to install on the same computer a Oracle Client 9.2, you mean there is no problem with this ?
Thanks in advance....

Is it possible to get 2-ch signals from TDS2012 oscilloscope at the same time with LabVIEW "7.0"?

Hi, everyone.
I've been trying to get the signals from 2-ch of Tektronix TDS2012 oscilloscope at the same time using IVI connection with LabVIEW "7.0"
I've already searched this developer zone for the answer.
I've tried the famous example: "IviScope - Acq Dual Wfm Edge Triggered.vi"
and it gave me the error message like:
Error -1074110451 occurred at IviScope Initialize With Options.vi
Possible reason(s):
Driver Status: (Hex 0xBFFA600D) Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFA600D) The Config Server module is not present on the system.
I think I've installed all~ the required softwares for IVI. For example, ICP 2.2, IVI engine 2.0.46, and tktds1k2k ivi (instrument driver for tds2012, in fact this one is for LabVIEW "7.1"... :-P)
TDS2012 and my computer is connected through HPIB(GPIB) and it is shown on the MAX (a GPIB instrument as well as an IVI hardware asset)
I've tried GPIB connection but it gives me asynchronous signals...
Is it possible to get 2 signals at the same time with LabVIEW 7.0(not 7.1 or higher) by any means?
What in the earth is the "Config Server" in this case?
I don't need to sticking to IVI and any method to achieve my goal will be welcome.
Could anyone give me the hint for this problem, plz?

I think your problem is that the instrument specific driver is version 7.1 and you are using the class driver with 7.0. You can create your own 7.0 driver by downloading the LabWindows driver and using the Import CVI Instrument Driver under the Tools>Instrumentation menu.
Since you don't seem to have a good reason to use IVI, why don't you try the native LabVIEW driver at http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9139659CE034080020E748.... I believe you have all of the functions to setup each channel and then when you trigger the scope, both channels will be captured. You would then transfer each waveform separately. The data is always read sequentially but that's not important as long as both channels are triggered at the same time.

HT4847 On startup my macbookair says start up disk full/delete some files. When I look at storage disk utility I see 51GB of a possible 60GB is used with Other. What is Other? and how can I view and delete some of these files?

A MacBook will use Time Machine to make local backups so that when connected to an external drive it will backup a lot faster.
to disable this, you must use a command under terminal.
to locate terminal, do a search for it under spotlight (the magnifying glass on the top right corner), should be the first hit.
once under terminal, type the following text exactly:
sudo tmutil disablelocal
hit enter.
you will be asked to input your password, if you do not have a password, you will have to create one before performing this command. after entering your password, hit enter again and close terminal.
in a few minutes the space taken up by time machine should be cleared.

How can I establish bluetooth connection with my iPhone so I can share and modify my iPhone's contact list on my macbook?

How can I establish bluetooth connection with my iPhone so I can share and modify my iPhone's contact list on my macbook?

The Mac and iPhone sync with iTunes though the charge cable that is included with the iPhone. Through this, you can sync your calendars and contacts.
Bluetooth is an impractical sync scheme as the time it would take to say transfer your song catalog could be longer than your phone contract. I suppose it is entirely possible to implement with hacks and jailbreaking, but I am fairly sure it is beyond the rules here to discuss such activities.
You may wan tto ask this same question in the iPhone section of the comminitie here. There may be some workarounds for just contacts.

Is it possible to be connected with a 3G modem for internet access and a WiFi router for printer sharing at the same time?
