TC backup WiFi switch to ethernet

Installed Mavericks but it corrupted HD.
Recovered and have started a Time Capsule backup to MacBook via WiFi.
This is ongoing but very slow.
Can I now connect MB to TC with ethernet cable to speed things up?
Any help gratefully received.
My son needs MB for Monday 2nd Dec for his Photography GCSE mock !!
Thanks

Yes.. plug in ethernet.. wait a few minutes then turn off wireless.. I cannot guarantee you the change over will happen without incident but it generally will figure out there is no path by wireless but there is still a connection.
Even if it fails.. and you have to start over. .it will still be faster than wireless.

Switching to ethernet during backup?

I'm trying to back up my iMac to Time Capsule and it is taking forever over WiFi. Is it possible to switch to ethernet without interrupting the backup? I'd do it, but it's been going for 6 hours and I really don't want to make the switch if it means I have to start over.
On a related note--is Apple ever going to make a Time Capsule with a Lightning port?

Better to leave things as they are since the backup has already started.
What is the estimated time remaining over wireless?
Hopefully, the iMac and Time Capsule are close together.
You can expect about 30 GB per hour to transfer using a wired Ethernet connection. So, if you have 150 GB to back up, the process will take about 5 hours.
Depending on how much more you have to backup over wireless, you may decide it is best to stop the wireless and start over using Ethernet. Time Machine is supposed to pick up where it left off....but I have found that this does not always work.
On a related note--is Apple ever going to make a Time Capsule with a Lightning port?
A question that none of us here can answer since we are all users, just like you. We have no idea what a notoriously secretive company like Apple might do, or when they might do it.

Impossible to go back to wifi mode after ethernet back-up?
I explain : i just bought time capsule, everything works while in wifi. but if i want to make my 1st time machine backup (1T, to heavy for wifi...) and I want to use an ethernet cable, I have to disconnect the wifi mode in the airport utility, to allow the ethernet connection tu function.
That works fine, BUT, once the backup is completed and i want to switch back to normal wifi mode, NO WAY, the time capsule led turns orange and airport doesn't locate the TC anymore.
any ideas?

ps : my TC is connected wifi to the ADSL router, it has no separate network.
....I'm kinda desperate...! :-(
Here is the trouble..
You have used the TC the wrong way.. this is "Join a wireless network"
When you use the TC in this mode.. the ethernet ports are shut off.. actually even the wireless becomes a dumb client of the main router.. this is the poorest method to setup the TC.. don't do it.. ever. You will decrease wireless speed by at least 50% if not more.. and it will be flakey and terrible.
As I said, reset the TC.. the TC must be in router mode or bridge mode.. but the backup can be done in isolation from the network. If the TC is in router mode it will just work as network disk when you have it plugged in.. do not worry about errors.. when you are finished the backup and want to use wireless.. change the TC to bridge mode and plug it into the main router.. never use wireless links to non-apple routers.

My wife switched from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. Everything transferred over and service is on the new phone. However, texts are going to her old phone still. Any idea what the problem is?

As long as iMessage is enabled and the old phone is connected to a WiFi access point, it will continue to receive iMessage texts. It won't receive non-iMessage texts nor will it receive any calls.

I have an i pad 2 and for some reason the wifi switch wont pass to on

just recently the wifi switch on my i pad 2 has stopped working. i have re set all settings wipped the whole i pad and still not working can any body help me out.
or has anyone had a similar situation i realy miss the i pad

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Internet Sharing WiFi **TO** Wired Ethernet

Back Ground:
I have a Late 2013 MBP Retnia.
I have WiFi access via a captured portal.
I have other WiFi and Wired (Ethernet) devices that can not authenticate to a captured portal.
Question:
1) On the single MBP mentioned can I connect to the captured portal WiFi via one band (say 2.4) and then become a WiFI hotspot with the other band (say 5)?
2) On the single MBP mentioned can I connect to the captured portal WiFi via one band (say 2.4) and then share the Internet connection to the Thunderbolt Ethernet connector?

Hi gregbogus,
Checking the Internet Sharing options in the Sharing System Preference, there's not an option to specify which wireless band is used for what, but you can share from Wi-Fi to Ethernet (or vice versa).

Broken WiFi Switch

Hey guys,
A friend of mine borrowed my T61 7662CTO the other day and managed to snap off half of the WiFi switch (the very front black part).
Ive searched for a replacement part and the closest thing I have come up with is 42W2421. This is a whole mixed bag of miscellaneous base parts. I think the ones I’m interested in are:
- Knob, wireless switch
- Lever, wireless switch
Is one of these the items, the part I need? If so, can it be purchased individually? Other suggestions are welcome!
Thanks all,
Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!

Hi!
The WiFi functionality on your notebook can be enabled with the hardware switch and the key combination FN+F8.
But if your switch is broken and was set to off, the key combination doesnt work.
I think you need help from an authorized service provider. The notebook technicians can check your notebook and exchange the switch with a new one:

Tecra R950-15E - Need WiFi switched off by deafult

Hi all,
I am new to the forum and would like to ask a question whose answer
I was unable to find both on the web and here in the forum (at least with my keywords; please direct me if missed it).
For some time I own a Tecra R950-15E running Win7 Pro 64bit and am quite satisfied with it.
The only thing that bothers me a bit is the WiFi mode.
I know that by pressing "FN+F8" I can switch the wireless modes (WiFi and 3G) on and off.
It seems that by default the wireless modes are switched on after starting the system.
I'd like to have it all switched off by deafult (mainly for saving battery) and only switching it on manually when I really need it.
By now I have to do it the other way round by switching it off manually after starting the system and I haven't found a setting to change it to my preference.
Does anyone have an idea to fix that?
Thanks
tecra14

Unfortunately that did not help. I de-installed all wireless software and drivers and then rebooted. First the system installed drivers automatically from the net, then I installed/updated with the latest drivers and software from the Toshiba site. It is to no avail.
Interestingly, after "only" rebooting (immediate re-start) it memorizes the setting, but after switching it off for the night, the next morning the memory is gone and the WiFi is again switched on by default regardless of former settings. I also tried the administrative tool with WiFi switched off by default there, but that doesn't help either.
Thanks

Iphone 4s. Wifi switch suddenly grayed out

Iphone 4s working fine until suddenly one day wifi connection stopped. Wifi switch found greyed out. Cannot slide switch. Control center says wifi not available. Settings>general>about says wifi n/a.
Home router is fine. All other devices connecting. Forum suggested resetting. Did so, but didnt fix. Another suggestion was to heat back of phone with hair dryer. This actually worked, but only for 30 minutes.
Is there a permanent fix?
