Thinkpad 8 - Power and Wired Ethernet at the same time?
Hi. I am looking for a way to have Power and Wired Ethernet at the same time?
I have been looking at USB 3.0 micro cables with a dual USB ports - one for power and one for ethernet (via USB adapter) - but I can't get that to work.
Has anyone tried this? Or found a solution to this?
Thanks!
Lenovo sells a y-cable for the TP8 that does this. Look here. I've not been able to find any cheaper alternatives so I just ordered one of these myself.

One day I was going to download music from my laptop to my ipod, I was able to download all the songs I wanted but later when I try to charger my ipod it wouldn't let me. The next day I bought a new charger but it still didn't charger. I try pressing the power And home button at the same time but it still wouldn't turn on or charger.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I recently reset my iPod touch 4th gen. (holding power and home buttons at the same time.) now it won't let me change my wallpaper, in the photo section or the settings. Any ideas, please? Thanks.
What happens when you try to change them?
Try:
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
I am having trouble with my iPad, i can start it, but the iPad does not work. i tried to use the power and home button at the same time, the apple logo appears, but the iPad does not work. What am I suppose to do?
After the Apple logo appears, what happens then? Can you hear any sounds or if you tap on the screen, does it seem like apps can open or are you just seeing a black screen? You might have a hardware problem, but you can try restoring the software and see what happens.
Read this in its entirety before you do anything. Make sure you read the sections at the end about using recovery mode.

My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected. We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black. Thanks!
Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

my ipad is on an infinite loop. I used ios7 for a few days and then did updates on some of my apps. that's when the infinite loop started. I have tried pressing the power and home button at the same time, but it doesn't work. Please help!
I even tried some hints posted for ios6 (turn off Ipad, holding home button and plugging in power cord at the same time and then releasing the home button)
I did manage to get a different screen that shows the itunes icon and a power cord, but nothing happens.You were on the right track. You got the connect to iTunes screen and you ended to use iTujes to restore your iPad. Try recovery mode again.
Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad. -
Can an airport express support wireless and wired connection at the same time
im wondering if i can use wireless and wired connection at the same time
The Ethernet port that the old AirPort Express has got is to connect the AirPort Express to your modem, not to connect another PC or Mac, so you can only connect wireless devices to the AirPort Express.
If you have the new AirPort Express, you can connect a wired PC or Mac and more wireless devices or computers at the same tiem -
Keeping a Officejet Pro 8600 connected wireless and by ethernet at the same time
I have one computer connected to this printer by ethernet, because the computer is to far away to be connected by usb. Whenever I want to print off of a laptop or tablet the printer won't print unless I physically disconnect the ethernet cable. When someone wants to print from the ethernet connected printer, they have to go back and reconnect the cable. Is there a way to fix this? Because quite honestly its a PAIN. I have had other printers from other manufactures that I was able to do this with. I find it hard to believe that HP would have such a backwards and utterly inconvenient setup.
Welcome to the HP Community @zhadum5000 !
I read through your post and wanted to respond to you. The printer cannot connect to both wireless and ethernet at the same time. You can connect wireless and USB however, you cannot combine both network connections. Your best bet would be to either stick with only ethernet, or only wireless.
I hope this helps answer your question!
Have a great day!

Connecting to wireless AND wired network at the same time.
I just bought 2 lacie 500 GB Network Hard Drives with Gigabit Ethernet. One for file storage, the other for a backup of the first drive.
My iMac connects to my DSL router using a Linksys wireless G Access Point, which is in another room in my apartment, due to the genius contractor installing only one telephone jack.
So can I use my iMac's ethernet port to connect to a gigabit switch, and then connect the 2 external HDD to the switch? I don't need the other computers on my network to have access to the external HHD, just my iMac. However I do need to be on the 'net and have access to the external HDDs at the same time.
ThanksNo problem at all, the Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
So drag Airport to the top, Ethernet second and you should be good to go. -
I have a brand new Ipod touch with front facing camera. Not sure which generation it is. My wife connected the iPod Touch and chose the restore option when connecting to iTunes. It was a mistake and by the time I got there, I saw the screen with USB cable with an arrow facing towards iTunes logo. I cannot get the iPod out of this state.
Try here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Also reset the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. -
Can you play music to wireless and wired speakers at the same time?
If you have Airport express, can you play music on speakers plugged into the airport express at the same time as you play from speakers attached to your computer?
ThanksYes you can. In the bottom right hand corner of the iTunes main window there is a drop down menu. Select the AirPort Express base station(s) you'd like to send your music to and also select 'Computer'. Not only will it play through all, it will play IN SYNC!
I can't remember with which version of iTunes this was introduced, best to grab the latest version to be sure. -
Can anyone help?
Same thing happened to me today. I wasn't even using the phone for the past 6 hours and suddenly I can't connect to the internet, none of my internet apps would work - nothing. I tried to call AT&T from the iphone and it locked up - couldn't turn it off, change to the home screen - nada - brick.
Did the Home/Power button thing and that worked but this I've only had this phone for about 4 weeks and it's locked up more times than my 3GS did the whole two years I had it! Ridiculous -
my iPhone works well...suddenly hang when im on the phone...trying to reset with the home and power button, doesnt work, trying to charge for for several hour..its not charging, trying to access in itunes,,cannot acces.....what to do...please help
Has it ever gotten wet?.. I'd make an appointment with Genius bar at an Apple store, there's something majorly wrong that a simple 'reset' isn't going to fix...
Sorry... -
So usually when my iphone would stop working I would just press down on the lock and home button, and then the Apple logo would appear.
However, my lock button stopped working a while ago..
If I go to the Apple store can I get them to fix my lock button, without deleting any of my phone content?Apple will not fix the lock button, they will replace the phone for $149. You should back up your phone so you can restore its content to the replacement. If it doesn't show up in iTunes, hope you have a previous backup on your computer or iCloud.

When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained. Whats wrong?
- Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
- If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
- If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
