Time Capsule: WI-FI and Ethernet at the same time

Hi everybody,
I've connected my mac book (Lion) to a 2T time capsule via wifi and it works fine. The TC is connected via wifi to an existing network (and internet connection).
Unfortunately, using this configuration, ethernet connection between the macbook and the TC (to speed up file copying) doesn't work: it just keeps connecting via wifi.
I've also tried to switch of the wifi connection on the macbook to "force" the use of the ethernet cable but it doesn't work.
Is there any way to use the wifi connection but, when needed, just connect the macbook via ethernet without changing the TC configuration?
Thanks in advance

When you configure the TC to "join a wireless network" as you have likely done, it performs no routing functions in this type of setup.....and the Ethernet ports are not enabled.
In effect, the TC becomes a wireless hard drive when it "joins" a wireless network.
You would need to consider whether you want to reconfigure your TC in a a diffferent way......(connecting it to your main wireless router using a wired Ethernet cable)......if you want to have Ethernet capability on the TC.

IP over Firewire and ethernet at the same time?

Is it possible to use both IP over Firewire and ethernet at the same time?
I want to use my TB hard drive attached to one Mac via Firewire 800 to backup another Mac also attached to the same drive via Firewire 800. I can only mount the drive on one machine at a time so I need to share it out to the other Mac. It works great if I set it up to do strait IP over Firewire, with static IPs, but that means I can't connect to the internet because my ethernet connection on both machines becomes the secondary connection method. Similarly, if ethernet is primary then I can't connect via Firewire. Is there a way to set it up so the Macs will know which method to use depending on the IP address?
I am using 10.5.1 on both machines.
G5, 1.8 GHz, 15.GB RAM
MBP, 2.4 GHz, 4GB RAM
Thanks!

Certainly.
In the network control panel I set Built-in FireWire to the top of the service order list, followed by Built-in Ethernet.
Next, I set Built-in FireWire to Configure Manually with the address 192.168.1.xxx and the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.xxx, making sure the Subnet Mask is set the same on both machines and that the IP address is different on both machines and different from the Built-in Ethernet addresses.
I applied the settings, turned on Sharing on both machines, then mounted whatever shared drives I needed by connecting to the other machine using the FireWire IP address.
Now I am able to share drives using FireWire 800 - which works great when used with Time Machine - and still use my normal ethernet to surf, etc..

Airport Express - using range extender and Ethernet at the same time?

So, I am thinking of buying an Airport Express. I am would be using it to extend the range (wirelessly) of my current Wi-Fi and also use the Ethernet ports on the back to connect my DVD player (so I can use the Internet-enabled apps on it). My question is whether the Airport Express can extend the range of my Wi-Fi as well as provide an internet connection to my DVD player simultaesnously.
My current setup in my house is:
- A wireless modem from my ISP (www.telenet.be)
- A Cisco range extender - however, this one often drops the connection so the Airport Express would be a replacement for this.
The current Cisco range extender is plugged in near my TV and it picks up the wireless connection from my ISP modem and extends it as well as being connected to the DVD player. However, I am tired of losing the connection so I thinking of buying an Airport Express.
I have no other Apple network devices (Airport Extreme, Airport Time Capsule, etc.)
Can you help me out?

No, Apple products will only wirelessly extend the signal from other Apple products.
Another way of saying the same thing is that you must have two Apple AirPort routers if you want to extend the signal wirelessly.

Airport Snow Network and Ethernet at the same time?

Here's the setup. I've got a new Intel MacMini (10.4.6), G4 Sawtooth (10.3.9), iBook G3 and a Dell all using wireless on the Airport Snow router. I'm in the process of moving files over from the Sawtooth to the Mini. The Sawtooth and the Mini are within 2 feet of each other.
Would I get better file transfer speed with a Ethernet crossover cable between them rather than the wireless network? Can I use the hard wire connection and the wireless connection via the router at the same time?
Thanks in advance.

Yes
Can I use the hard wire connection and the wireless connection via the router at the same time?
The Mac will use one OR the other if they are both connected.

Airtunes AND ethernet at the same time?

Aloha All,
I think I have a simple question.
Providing I use the WDS option, which requires either a AEBS or a WRT54G router, can I simulatenously run airtunes AND use the ethernet port (not wireless) on my AX?
I would like to use my AX to supply my non-wireless PC tower with internet, while continuing to use the same AX for airtunes, without buying another AX. I currently do not have either an AEBS or a WRT54G, but am willing to buy one of those...
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
ccolgrove

Yes that is possible.

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.

Ports on a New Air can it handle VGA and Ethernet at the same time

Hi,
I am looking at buying an Air 13". When I configure it in the store it shows me the option to buy both a Miniport VGA adapter and a Thunderbolt Ethernet Adapter but looking at the Images on the site I cannot see a Miniport for the VGA. I need to have both to work effectively, Can someone confirm.
Thanks
Gordon

The MacBook Air has only got one Thunderbolt port, so as you want to connect two peripherals that require a Thunderbolt port, you need a Thunderbolt hub.
You can find hubs in the Internet, like the Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock > http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F4U055 As you can see, they are very expensive

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!

Before I answer your questions, let me first just say thank you so much for your amazing patience and helpfulness. Whether or not we get to the bottom of this, I am very, very grateful to you.
We will get to the bottom of it, and you're quite welcome. Don't feel you ought to know all this stuff -- none of us were born with it!
By the way, in answer to your original question, yes, you can use the Time Capsule while backups are running. There's no conflict at all.
1) Estimated size of full backup: 205.94 GB
2) My LaCie has available: 11.04 GB of 359.95 GB
That's part of the problem right there; 360 GB is a bit small to back up 206 GB. Ordinarily, a Time Machine drive should be 2-3 times the size of the data it's backing-up, so Time Machine can keep a reasonable "depth" of old backups for you.
It looks like Time Machine is trying to do a fairly large backup, and there just isn't enough room for it.
But something doesn't quite add up. Time Machine should have deleted all but your most recent backup, trying to make room for the new one. But that would mean there should only be a bit less than 206 GB on the disk, not 360.
A clue may be lurking in your logs. Use the widget in #1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. Locate the backup in question, then copy and post all the messages here.

How will the Time Capsule support IPv6 and coop with the new emerging security threats that will emerge due to the new technical possibilities that IPv6 provide?

Cross your fingers and hope.
Obviously if there is any big or known threat Apple will send out a firmware fix.
But the TC is designed to be end user simple device. It has no firewall that is visible at any rate. I don't know that it truly doesn't have a firewall but it is not part of the end user controls.
IMO if you have major security concerns that go beyond end device firewall, which is where Apple do put most of the security, since firewall in the router is plainly not a stop to anybody deliberately downloading an infected file or website, and most end users.. do not want a firewall that prevents them using the web like a business does, where only certain ports are allowed. Everything else tough luck.. you are not allowed to use it. Then TC is unsuitable for you anyway.. buy a proper firewall appliance.

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.

My Ipad mini does not see my printer. my wife's ipad2 does. We both use IOS8 and upgraded at the same time. How can I remedy this?

OK great info!
I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
By "Plugable": USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
One person commented:
This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
Thanks for any additional comments.

Airport extreme wired AND wireless at the same time?

Very sorry for this newbie question. Can i have my iMac wired to my computer with ethernet and wireless at the same time?
If so, what ports to i plug what into?
My guess is modem-wan port on extreme and a cable going wired from the ethernet port on the extreme to the iMac?
Do i need to do any configuring?
Thanks!

The operatibe word here is EXPRESS
To the best of my knowledge the ethernet port on the express is for ethernet IN not out
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/AirPortExpressSetupGuide.pdf The pertinent diagrams are like page 20 - 25
Now you can actually do what you are talking about with an extreme.. an extreme can, in theorey operate as an remote/relay taking incoming signal giving you one - four out bound ethernet ports
that info can be found in the manual on setting up a WDS
the only thing to remember is .. the weakest leg controls.. if your wireless signal to the relay is poor. any thing using the relay for access will also be poor
I have found out the hard way about that
hey you can get good price on bulk cat 5

Have synced my iPhone numerous times and some of the memos in "Voice Memos" on my iPhone wont go over to my iTunes program on my computer. I have a folder titled "Voice Memos" on my iPhone and one of the same name on iTunes on my computer.

I have synced my iPhone numerous times and some of the memos in "Voice Memos" on my iPhone wont go over to my iTunes program on my computer. I have a folder titled "Voice Memos" on my iPhone and one of the same name on iTunes on my computer. But after I sync I only get 6 out of the 9 voice memos on my iPhone.
How do I get the rest (or all) of the memos from my iPhone copied to my computer?

"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

How do i start video and audio at the same time in ios

How do i start video and audio at the same time in ios?
I have tried a lot of different ways but i cant figure it out?
I can get the sound and animation (timeline) to start playing.
There is no problem to start the video and the animation at the same time.
But i cant get both the video and the audio to start playing when i press a button.
It works great in OSX and on windows?
Here is an example:
// insert code for mouse click here
// Play an audio track
sym.$("_1")[0].play();
// Play a video track
sym.$("host")[0].play();
// Play the timeline at a label or specific time. For example:
// sym.play(500); or sym.play("myLabel");
sym.play("marker1");

If the game has sound in it (and possibly even if it doesn't) it may be overriding the Music app and causing it to stop playing - in which case there is nothing that you can do about it.
