Should I run wifi and my mobile network at the same time

I have a verizon bb torch 9850. In my office at work, I don't have very good signal but we do have wifi. So, facebook is slow if it's accessible at all and my battery drains quickly. I was told by one customer service rep to turn on my wifi connection so that it will run off that and not my mobile network. Another customer service rep told me this would drain my battery more quickly because the two connections are working against each other. Does any combination of coneections affect sms or mms ??? Just wondering if anyone has any input on the subject ??? thanks for your help !!!!

I keep my wifi on all the time and don't find it to be a significant drain on battery life. Also, sms and mms run off the network connection so wifi being on or off wont affect that. I would be more concerned about the poor reception as a cause for the battery drain. Your Facebook and internet on your phone will work much faster with a good wifi connection. I also find the opposite is true where internet will work better over a good network connection than over a poor wifi connection. The problem with shutting off your network connection is that you won't receive phone calls or texts while its off. You will get the notifications for everything you missed once the network connection is restored. Maybe try the *228 thing at work and see if that improves reception. I don't believe the network and wifi connections compete with each other. However, as long as wifi is on, it "looks" for wifi connections. This supposedly consumes some battery (I'm sure it does some), but i find it more convenient for me just to leave it on. There are also some settings changes that you can make that can have a substantial effect on battery life for your BlackBerry. You can find info on that in forums on the BlackBerry site and on Crackberry.com and probably even on here.

How do I get the Time Capsule to run both 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks at the same time.

How do I get the Time Capsule to run both 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks at the same time.

Thanks for digging out the facts.
You have a 1st Generation Time Capsule.
Your model can produce two bands....either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz....but not both simultaneously.
You would need a Generation 2, 3 or 4 Time Capsule for simultaneous dual band capability.

Labview runs CANBus and DNP3 software model at the same time

I have an ordinary computer which communicates with several DSPs (CANBus communiation) through Compact Rio. The physical connection is that the DSPs' CANBuses are connected together and connected into Compact Rio, then the Compact Rio is connected with a router through Ethernet, at the same time, the computer also connects with the Router through Ethernet. Based on this physical architecture, the computer can run CANBus software model on Labview to communiate with Compact Rio and DSPs.
As I know, the communication between the computer and the Compact Rio is not real time, and the communication between Compact Rio and DSPs can be real time, can you tell me if I get the right point?
Now we have another device named RTDS (communicate with outside through Enternet based on DNP3), and want to add RTDS into our system. I am not sure about the way to conduct the communiation. The main question is that we need to run Labview to communicate with DSPs through CANBus and RTDS through DNP3 at the same time, is that possible?
I proposed two possible ways to conduct communication, bt not sure if it is possible.
1. I proposed that I connect RTDS with the Router through Ethernet, and then the computer communicates with RTDS through the Router based on DNP3 and also keeps the communication with DSPs through Router, Compact Rio, CANBus and then DSPs. I am wondering if this kind of communication is available for Labview.
2. The second possible way I proposed is that I connect the RTDS with Compat Rio (CRio keeps connecting with DSPs through CANBus) through Ethernet, and then the computer communicates with DSPs through Router, Compact Rio and CANBus, and the computer communicates with RTDS through Router, Compact Rio and Ethernet. Also, the computer needs to run Labview with CANBus sofeware model and DNP3 software model at the same time. I am also not sure if it is possible.
The diagram of the communication system is shown in the attachments.

To use Mail from multiple devices, your Mail Server needs to be using IMAP protocol (iCloud Mail uses that).
IMAP keeps the Master copies on the Server, not on the Mac the way most default POP Mail servers do.
To keep one Master Calendar, accessible from all devices, you need a web-accessible place to keep the Master Calendar. iCloud can do that.
¿Do you see a trend developing here?

DSL Internet and Firewire Windows network at the same time?

I've got DSL internet via ethernet port on my Macbook and Firewire network with Windows, but it seems they can't work at the same time. If I turn DSL on first than firewire won't work and vice-versa. My guess that's because of the way MacOS X choose which port to use as Windows Sharing. Is there any way to choose manually which port to use?

I'll try to explain this problem as full as possible.
I've got DSL modem which is connected to Macbook via Ethernet port and Macbook is the only thing connected to modem. Then I've got Windows XP machine which work as storage. It doesn't have internet connection and I don't want to share my internet connection from Macbook with it. The only thing I want is File Sharing. Everything work fine if only Ethernet or Firewire plugged. The problem is they can't work together. If drag Built-in Ethernet to top then Mac tries to connect to Internet via Ethernet and it tries to do File sharing via Ethernet too. As the result Internet is working and file sharing is not (it sets ip address of file sharing to Ethernet's ip address). If I drag Built-in FireWire to top then Mac tries to connect to Internet via Firewire and it tries to do File sharing via FireWire too. As the result Internet is not working and file sharing is working (it sets ip address of Internet to FireWire's ip address). I think when Mac starts searching for networks according to Network Port configuration list it found first network and stops searching and network that I set on top is working and another is not. Maybe Mac can be only at one network at the same time? That's why I asked is there any way to set ports for Internet and File Sharing manually?

Can I use both Wifi and a Lan connection at the same time?

With me back in the dorms I have been limited to a slower connection than what I would like. Now we are able to use both Wifi and a Lan line so I was wondering to somewhat "double" my speed if there was any way to use both connections at the same time.
Now I know that you can have both plugged in at the same time, I guess what I'm asking is, is there a way that I could set programs to use one or the other? Or some kind of virtual desktop that is set to use the other connection or anything that would allow both be used at the same time.
Or am I just wishing for something that doesn't have any possible way to work?

MacBook pro 2.16 C2D 2gb ram Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You can use both at the same time, but not gor Internet access if that's what you're asking.
Now there is a thing called Link Aggregation, which combines a number of interfaces for speed/redundancy, but it really only works locally, and then only with ALL special equipment in the route, and most likely OSX Server involved.
Sorry.

Can't run Pshop and another adobe program at the same time

Hi all,
I'm experiencing a frustration problem. I can't run two adobe programs a the same time - ie, Lightroom and photoshop, After effects and photoshop.
Lightrrom and After effects sem to be playing together okay at the moment so looks like it may be a PShop issue.
Running final release of windows 7 64 bit, licenced PS3, trial AE, trial PS4....8GB Ram, has been with both Nvidia and ATI video cards, open GL on , Open GL off, seperate scratch disks, reinstalled everything,
Any help, advice, hints would be really appreciated as having to close programs all the time when switching apps is a real pain in the neck
cheers
Jeff

thanks whytefly,
yeah I thought that may be the case but then realised both After effects and CS3 are 32bit (86x) and I can't run those together
I'm jealous as hell that you can run 3 together haha,
cheers

Roaming (ethernet connected base station) and wireless extended network at the same time. Good idea?

I have a Time Capsule (6th gen.) which is my main base station. I also have a number of airport extremes around the house. I only use them in the client mode, i.e. they just join the network so that I can stream audio to devices connected to them.
As I had bad reception in the garden, I installed my old dual-band airport extreme (4th gen) in the garden shed. All Apple articles I read on the topic convinced me that roaming (ethernet connected base station) is much better than wireless extending because you don't lose throughput. As I had no ethernet in the shed, I used two powerline adapters to bring ethernet there and I connected my airport extreme.
Then I had to re-install all the airport expresses (as I had also changed the name of the network) and I noticed that the default option of the Airport utility is to make them extend the network wirelessly instead of just joining to it. I did not do it, but I am wondering. Is it a good idea? As they are in different rooms than the Time Capsule, of course the network there is not as strong as close to the Time Capsule. I still get "good enough" connection, but I will I have an improvement if I allow every Airport Express to extend the network as well? Or will I have problems with the throughput. My idea is not to do it and keep the net as simple as possible, i.e just extend it with roaming in the garden where I really need it and let the airport expresses in client mode.

As usual AirPort Utility is trying to be clever. It is proposing what Apple thinks most people will want to do with it, and most of the time it succeeds.
Having the Expresses "wirelessly extend" the Time Capsule's wireless network will increase your wireless network service area and should not introduce new problems. If that is not what you want to do though, you can certainly return to AirPort Utility and select "join a wireless network". It is a simpler configuration, and simpler is better for home wireless networks.

I am using several Macs running Yosemite. I was recently “upgraded” to Xfinity’s new cable modem which can support both 2.5Ghz and 5Ghz networks at the same time. Actually I can connect to the internet over both with a satisfactory bump in speed for the Ghz. However when I connect to the 5Ghz the Time capsule disappears from the Airport Utility and claims to be Not Found. Is there something I have done wrong or just a Yosemite Teething Problem

First restart your mac and try again.
It could be
that the router and the TC are interfering wirelessly with each other.
You can check this by pressing the option key while clicking on the wireless icon on your screen
Open Wireless Diagnostics
enter your user password
Press CMD 4 then Scan
You will see all the wireless channels being used in your location and you can check if they are on the same channel
Make the SSID for the TC simple like MyTC
Set 5Ghz to auto
Update the TC
Try again

I'm relatively new to Mac and want to try and get the most out of the new MacBook Air.
My wife and I have been sharing the same Apple ID. We both have iPhones - she has a 5 and I've got a 4S.
We only have one copy of iTunes and we have been sharing the account. (She doesn't really use the computer for anything beyond writing the odd weekend assignment.)
Would I be better off setting her up with her own and making her as a separate user on the computer? Would this require much work?
In recent times with updates, we have a few problems with the duplication of texts and that sort of thing. Both of our texts are stored on the computer and that sort of thing. Also, sometimes texts I send her are sent through to me from her, if that makes any sense.
Anyway, I don't really want to overly complicate matters when it comes to accounts etc, but I wanted to know if a fresh Apple ID would be the best thing or even a new user?
Any tips etc would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
MacBook
I have this question too (0) Reply

Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours, I dont know.......

My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account, but would like to have separate apps on our phones. How can I set up a separate account for her?

My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account for both our iPhones, but she wants separate apps from mine. How can I set up a second account in her name, delete the apps on her phone and start from scratch with just the apps she wants on her phone?

If you have the old phone, connect it to iTunes, right click on the device, and choose transfer purchases. If you no longer have the old phone, I don't believe there is a way to recover them, as they were on your original device.

Can I be connected to two networks at the same time?

Hi there
I have an imac desktop with 10.5.8 running. I have a wireless network with my timecapsule and a printer connected to it. We have two mac computers in the house
that print wirelessly via this network. I also have the internet coming in via a wireless modem/wifi which both computers use to go online. The trouble is everytime I want to print from either computer I have to change back and forth from the internet/network to the timecapsule/printer network. This is really fumbly and I wind up having to restart all the time because the printer gets locked up. It's just a big hassle. Is there any way I can be on both of these networks at the same time or is there some other way I can configure this?
Thanks!

Is there any way I can be on both of these networks at the same time or is there some other way I can configure this?
Yes, you can reconfigure the Time Capsule (TC) to "Join a wireless network." In this case the wireless network would be the one created by the other wireless Internet router. In this configuration, the TC can still share its internal (and external) hard drive and a printer attached to the USB port. However, note that this would disable the TC as a router and an Ethernet switch so basically it will perform as a wireless client.

Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an AP and a DHCP server at the same time?

Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an Access Point and a DHCP server at the same time?
I would like to use it as a DHCP server and AP at the same time in my LAN (no internet, just local machines through a few switches). I was lead to belive this could be the case from a few networking friends that haven't been friendly enough to help me out setting it up.

I need it to act as a dLink/Cisco/Linksys/etc basic wifi router, in the fact that you can access it via wifi, and it will spit out DHCP addresses (192.168.1.xxx) to everything wired downstream of it.
I want to simultaniously provide a Wifi connection and a LAN connection at the same time

TS3280 How can i enable both paired bluetooth and ios keyboard input at the same time?

How can i enable both paired bluetooth and ios keyboard input at the same time?
This is needed for the app im working on. Need some user input via keypad as well as scanner input via a paired bluetooth scanner.

You probably should not be using a keyboard bluetooth profile for a scanner, I am not a developer for apple so do not know the location for you to find out the correct profile you should be using for an input device that is not a keyboard. Sorry,
I am sure if you navigate the apple developer site you will probaly finmd what you're looking for.

Run invoke-command on multiple machines at the same time

Hey all so I read that if I store my New-pssession in a variable then used that in my invoke-command it would run all computers at the same time.
$a = Get-Content "C:\Users\cody-horton\Desktop\list.txt"
$session
for($i=0;$i -lt $a.Length;$i++){
if(!(Test-Connection -Cn $a[$i] -BufferSize 16 -Count 1 -ea 0 -quiet)){
Write-Host $a[$i] -foregroundcolor red
else{
$session = New-PSSession $a[$i]
Invoke-Command -Session $session -FilePath "\\My computer\C`$\Users\public\Documents\zip folder.ps1"
What exactly am I doing wrong I just need to run this script on multiple machines at the same time.
Thanks.
Edit: Also what would be the best way to close all the sessions thanks.

Hi there,
So what I think you are doing wrong here is that you are overwriting the value in $Session everytime you executed code inside for loop. try the below:
$a = Get-Content "C:\Users\cody-horton\Desktop\list.txt"
$session = @() #define this as an array
for($i=0;$i -lt $a.Length;$i++){
if(!(Test-Connection -Cn $a[$i] -BufferSize 16 -Count 1 -ea 0 -quiet)){
Write-Host $a[$i] -foregroundcolor red
else{
$session += New-PSSession $a[$i] #add the new session to the array, at the end it will be a collection of sessions
Invoke-Command -Session $session -FilePath "\\My computer\C`$\Users\public\Documents\zip folder.ps1" #I think the above one won't work..first you need to copy the script locally on the machine and then execute it#Why this won't work because of Second-Hop Authentication
Have put comments where I edited your code.
Hope this helps
