Possible to use Airport and Ethernet at same time?

Short question: I want to use my wired Ethernet connection for my local area network to access my file servers and other computers on my network, and a wireless Airport connection for Internet usage.
Is this possible? How?
It seems that with both "on", I am connecting to both via Ethernet and it is forgoing the wireless network entirely even though it shows as connected to my wireless network.

This is normally done like this.
Your Internet Service Provider furnishes you a Modem.
You run an Ethernet cabale from your ISP's Modem to the Wan Port, or uplink port on your wireless Router, ( You will have to purchase the Wireless Router.
Wireless Routers are available in 2 4 and 6 port varietys.
Anything you plug into the ports as many computers as you have ports for hard wired connections. This will allow for wired and wireless connections to the Internet and all can be used simultaniouslly.
Remember each machine you have connected will have to have the correct setting in the Network Preferences.
This can also be done with a Switch or a Hub each varys a little bit on the confiquration.. If you need more information be specific on exactly what all you are trying to hook up and what ISP you have the Modem they furnish, the exact router you are using and the number of machines and how they are set in the Network setting on each,
Normally any wireless router you purchase will give you a step by step on hoe to set it up, in the paper work that comes with them. Good Luck Don

Using airport and ethernet at same time

I am networked from my intel macbookpro to a G5. I cannot connect to my airport at the same time i'm plugged into ethernet cable. Is there any way around this. This can be done when networking with mac based G5's. I guess it has something to do with the intel technology.

Actually no, you should be able to connect multiple interfaces (ethernet and wireless) concurrently.

Airport and ethernet at same time

I've got a feeling this is one of those obvious questions which has an obvious answer. I noticed in the network pane of the preferences lists out every type of adapter available to me to connect to a network. I always leave my airport on even when I'm connected to a network with an ethernet cable. So my question is this, if my airport and ethernet are connected to different networks (in my office they're kept separate), which takes priority? Should I turn off one adapter? Just a curious mind.

Whichever network port is above the other in the list of available ports in the network preferences panel this will have priority.

I allowed Apple updates about two weeks ago and now Safari is way too slow. I have tried using Airport and Ethernet and the problem is the same. Yesterday, I updgraded to Safari 5.1 and the problem is now worse. Any solutions?

I can't stand peremptory affirmations like "Nothing is wrong with Safari".
Thousands of users can't be wrong (see the discussions).
If I read you the right way, it's never software' fault, it's the user who's the culprit.
Amazing!
In this very case, the fact is we can't give to "christinefromfonthill" a good solution because weren't sitting in front of her Mac.
You give her a good advice which could, perhaps, lead to an improvement.
But must also admit that Safari is a very slow browser compared to Firefox or Chrome.
And you can't ignore all the problems which arose when upgrading to Lion and were related to the new build and specs of Safari 5.1.
The best example is the apparition of "garbage type" (use of Last Resort font) when reading numerous sites. This never occured before and is the direct consequence of Safari compliance to Web Open Type. This standard prohibits the use of Type 1 Postscript Fonts and is the reason why so many people are in trouble.
I use a Mac for more than 25 years.
I am a very "clean" user who hates the bells and whistles of third party.
My Mac is always up-to-date and despite all my Mac loving care, I run into some problems.
Imagine the nightmare which can occurs for the vulgum pecus who isn't, by definition, a power user aware of all the requirements for running a System in optimal conditions.
May be Safari is one step in advance on its time but lambda users are paying the price for it.

Using Airport And Ethernet Together

Having read Christopher Breen's solution to using Airport and Ethernet together,
http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/mac911/2006/10/airportswitch/index.php
I am still wondering if this can apply to my situation. I have an Airport Exteme BS distributing the wireless signal on it's own node. Nothing is physically connected to the BS except an ethernet cable running to a hub which is connected to the cable modem. While my ISP service isn't supplying service faster than Airport will manage, no problem...but, I would like to have the advantage ethernet networking between my machines for all the advantages that ethernet speed can bring to that situation.
My connection to the internet is from WAN from the cable modem. I have an ethernet connection from the BS that I can run a cable back to say, an iBook. Will this work? I want wireless internet, but ethernet for machine to machine networking.

Helpful response, but I am uncertain this is what I am after. First, the hub is at the other end of the house, inconvenient to run a cable to it in this way. Presently, "Distribute IP Addresses" is turned off. This is way it had to be set since the AEBS is on a separate node. I just wonder why I can't run a cable from the AEBS LAN port back to the iBook. Looking for best possible speed when networking from my studio G4 while keeping the wireless internet setting.
Any reason making the config the way I am imagining will not work?

Is there a way I can stream video from my 2012 AirMac to the Apple TV using airplay and at the same time stream the audio to an air speaker?

Is there a way stream video from a 2012 MacBook Air to a TV using Apple TV and at the same time steam the audio to an air speaker. Also the same question but using an ipad

You can try one thing. Follow these steps:
1. On your Mac, turn on AirPlay Mirroring and connect it to the Apple TV, so audio and video will stream from the Apple TV.
2. Turn off the sound of the TV where you have connected the Apple TV.
3. Then, make sure that you have turned on the AirPlay speakers. Then, open System Preferences > Sound > Output, and choose the external speakers, so sound will stream from these external speakers.
This should work correctly

I cant use photoshop and illustrator in same time....

Hello!
I have CS3 and i´ll try run photoshop and illustrator in same time. If i run first photoshop then illustrator not work and if i run illustrator then photoshop not work. :-/ What i pose to do??
PC:
AMD FX (Six-core)
Memory 8G (XP 32bit -> ~4G)
Thanx anyway!

Read this probably the scratch disk you haqve is too full, and you will have to select a scratch disk that is not fragmented and has plenty of room to work. The scvratch disk is storing the various undo states for both Photoshop and Illustrtor.
Illustrator has unlimited undos so that takes up a lot of scratch space if you do complex art work with many points being employed to create the art and Photoshop will do the same if you are using very high resimages with many layers.
And in 32 bit the amount of RAM is limited which puts a strain on the scratch disk so it has to bve very large if you want it to work for you.
This is what I recommend to you go 64 bit get another 8 GB of Memory at least and get a hard drive you can use as a swcratch disk that will not have any files on it or that you can partition to have a large amount of free space.
You will have to read a little bit but you can start here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html#main_Memor y_Usage
I am on a Mac myself and have 24GB of memory and feel I could still use anoter 8GBs but I do some motion graphics as well.
Nut if you do a lot of Illustrator and Photoshop that can be just as big a drain on your resiources.

Satelitte C55-A Can't Use Keyboard and Mousepad at same time

How do I change the settings so that I can use them both at the same time? I use them both for all my games, but I can't turn with my mouse pad when im walking with my keyboard keys (W,A,S,D). Does anyone know how to change this?
I'm on Windows 8 btw.
Thanks,
-Evan

There should be a setting for that in Mouse Properties, Evan. Something like "Disable touchpad while typing."
Also, it's a "feature" of Windows 8.1.
Button clicks for internal touchpads and pointing sticks are not responsive while or shortly after t...
Windows 8.1 introduces a feature that is called accidental activation prevention (AAP). AAP helps ensure that unintended taps while you type on an integrated touchpad are suppressed. When this feature is enabled, taps and clicks from an integrated touchpad or pointing stick are suppressed for a while after the last keystroke..

Ability to use airport and ethernet simultaneously

On my old MBP I was able to bring up both the ethernet and the airport at the same time (on different networks). I migrated everything over to my new MBP and now I can only have one or the other connect. The second connects, but never gets an IP address (both use DHCP). By turning off one or the other I can switch between interfaces, but never have them both alive at the same time. One is connected to a 10. network, one connected to a 192.168 net. I have tried creating a new location with just the two interfaces in there but the outcome is exactly the same.
Is there a limitation on the new MBP that does not allow both interfaces to be alive at the same time? I use this to connect to my work network on the physical interface and connect to my home wireless for local printing and NAS support.
Thanks

There should not be anything inherent to the new computer or OS that will disallow this. What happens if you assign manual IP address for the Ethernet interface?
If you used migration assistant to transfer over your data and settings - that may have messed up some things. Is it possible to verify if it works like before on a clean OSX install?

Using ethnernet and wireless at same time

Is it ok to use both wired and wireless at the same time or will it cause problems?
My pc is quite old and doesn't have a wireless transmitter thingy so have to use ethernet cable for that but want to use everything else wireless (ps3, wii, printer, iphone)
Also is it true that the GigE port on hub is the quickest if using cable?
Thanks

Yo can use both, but you will find that a wired connection is better, especially for the PS3.

Use internet and phone at same time?

I am new to smartphones, so I was hoping someone could help me. I was using my Samsung Fascinate phone yesterday when I also tried to use the internet. The phone call got disconnected. Is there a way to surf the internet while being on the phone? I figured with a phone as advanced as this, you should be able to do both. Do I need to access the wi-fi to get on the net, or can I use the 3G for both the phone and web? I would appreciate any help.

Verizon and therefore the Samsung Fascinate uses CDMA wireless technology. It is not possible to be on the internet and phone at the same time with CDMA with a 3G connection. In order to use the internet and make phone calls at the same time, you need to be connected to wifi. Cell carriers AT&T and T-mobile uses GSM which allows data and phone at the same time.

Do i use bonjour and ichat at same time

ive just been through an ordeal of discovering after a year that to have certain secutrity functions etc my "macbook has to be online" to do this i needed to sort out ichat.
this means dealing with bonjour.... do i need to have them both on at the same time or can i turn off bonjour now.

Thank you for the reply with additional information.
Since you are using Premiere Elements 13, then you are using the new Shake Stabilizer, not the Stabilizer seen in prior versions.
I want to make sure of exactly what you are doing with regard to "overblending". This is my first impression....
1. You have video on Video Track 1, and this video has applied to it Shake Stabilizer.
2. You also have video on Video Track 2 directly above the video on Video Track 1, and this video has had applied to it Shake Stabilizer.
3. Then you select video on Video Track 2 and adjust the Opacity and Blend Mode for this video.
And, after the Opacity adjustments, the Shake Stabilizer effect is lost in the video on Video Track 2.
Is that interpretation correct? If not, please explain further.
Thank you.

Use wire and wireless at same time

My computer has wire and wireless network devices together. Also I am using two WRT54G routers that one is conneted internet at next door and the other is in my office. Wire network is used to use internet and wireless is connected to use DVR(Digital Video Recorder). I know if I use one router with internet and DVR together, I wouldn't have any problem, but now I can't do that.
When I enable both network device, I can't use internet because the default is wire one which isnt' connect with internet. That's why I have to disable wire when I use internet.
What I ask you is I want use both at same time. That means when I want use internet, wire would be worked. Using DVR has no problem because wire is default.
How can I reach my goal?

How did you connect the two WRTs?

Using Airport and Ethernet at the same time

I know that variations of this question have been posted already, but I think my problem is slightly different.
In our studio we have a printer connected to our Macs via a wired Ethernet LAN. We access the internet via Airport using a seperate Mac (not on the LAN) which is set up as a Software Base Station. We would like to be able to print directly from the internet without having to switch between networks. I've tried rearranging the order of the networks in the Network Port Configuration window in System Prefs but each time we try to print we get the message that Apple Talk is disabled (which it's definitely not), and that's as far as we get.
Any suggestions as to how we might solve this would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Jason.

The solution is to use a dedicated wireless access point instead of the using the Mac as a software base station. The Mac acting as a base station is placing the wireless clients on a separate subnet.

WiFi and Ethernet at same time with Apple TV?

Will the following configuration work? WiFi Router upstairs is connected to the internet (DSL). Could I put a second wifi router downstairs acting as a relay, connecting it to an Apple TV via a short ethernet cable and connect to the Apple TV from my MacBook Pro via an ad hoc wifi network? I don't want to simply put the Apple TV into the network since that means traffic for the Apple TV would have to first go upstairs to that router and then be sent downstairs to the Apple TV. In short, I'd be using the Apple TV both to drive the TV as well as a router to the internet. Possible?

Okay, I turned it off and back on and now the wifi symbol shows up instad of LTE. Must have been a glitch.
Also found out we must have dropped the block on external mail accounts at work.
So, problem solved.
