Want to use iPad to connect to IMac

This is new to me, so be nice. I have an airport extreme that works fine creating a home wireless network for my laptop and iPad. My G5 iMac is connected via ethernet directly to modum. I want to be able to connect directly to the iMac using the ipad (wirelessly) both at home and on the road. This would be to access files (movies) etc. Help. Thanks

Yes, that is the Tetheringn or HotSpot option. Some models have this. You will have to set up your phone to do this, and your carrier will likely charge you an extra fee for the tethering service.

After setting up my brand new Airport Express 802.11n and accidentally using it to connect my iMac to the network...my iMac no longer connects through Ethernet? Any ideas...I have tried everything without success!!

I have been using Apple technology for about 10 years starting with 1st generation iPods and our house now includes a 5 year old iMac, all versions of iPods and touches, Apple TVs (both generations) and most recently an iPad 2. I have always told family and friends that Apple technology just works. Unfortunately that stopped today. I bought a new Airport Express 802.11n to use for AirTunes around my new pool. I set it up from my iMac and accidentally used it to connect my iMac to the network for a short time. Now I can no longer connect the iMac to the network using a hard wired Ethernet cable. I have tried resetting everything possible, from hubs to routers to the Mac itself and it just will not connect to the network through Ethernet any longer. I am now a very frustrated Apple user especially when the support site says I can't use the fast path support because my product was manufactured 5 years ago...I just bought it at BestBuy yesterday. All other computers and itechnology in the house are connecting via wifi and Ethernet without any issue except from my new iMac boat anchor. Anybody who can help me??? Thanks

John, thanks for the email so quickly.
I too hope I haven't tried "everything" either but I am reasonably technical. I had done what you suggested to do before but I did both again.
Ethernet is yellow in the left side bar. In the right pane it's status says Connected but then below it says "Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
I have tried the assist me menu and Network Status has Ethernet Green, Network settings Yellow, ISP Green, and Internet and Server Red and Failed for both. I have turned things off and on, checked cables, deleted all locations and tried restting them up but to no avail. I even disconnected everything and connected the mac directly into the cable modem itself and the thing still will not connect.
Thoughts???

I want to use the Thunderbolt connection for an external hard drive

I want to use the Thunderbolt connection for an external hard drive - so what port would I use on the MacBook Pro 13" for the display monitor. Thank you!

This is not the forum for MacBook Pro owners.
You just need to reformat the drive in Disk Utility and erase the drive and have Mac HFS.
If you did need to use NTFS then you would not want -3G but Paragon NTFS for OS X x. 10.0
Or buy something that isn't pre-formatted to Windows NT file system.
First though make sure you have backups of your system. TimeMachine being used now?

Maybe cleanout some files you don't need.
Install a larger notebook hard drive even.
http://www.macsales.com/firewire has a lot of choice in Mac compatible drives and enclosures so you don't need to worry about Fantom not working at some point.

I want to use jdbc to connect MS SQL SERVER

hi,
I want to use jdbc to connect MS SQL SERVER,not the jdbc-odbc bridge.
I download the driver from MS,deploy it,but when I connect the database such as:
<%Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");%>
<%String sConnStr="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://computer2000:1433";%>
<%Connection conn=DriverManager.getConnection(sConnStr,"sa","123");%>
<%Statement stmt=conn.createStatement();%>
but it said
javax.servlet.ServletException: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
how can i work out this problem
maybe my configure is wrong,please give me a successful sample configuration
thanks a lot

Hi,
I am not sure where you have got the following code from
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
What happens here, is Java Runtime will search for the Class named:
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
If this Class is not in the Runtime Classpath, it will throw the Error that you have got. Kindly get the proper driver as well as ensure that the Class is available in the Runtime Classpath.
Thanks and regards,

I want to use the ethernet connection from my new iMac to my Time Capsule. It seems only the Wifi is seen by either device. Ive connected the Time Capsule to the iMac. How can I get the iMac to use the wired connection

I want to connect my iMac to my Time Capsule using Ethernet. I have them connected via an Ethernet cable, but only WiFi seems to be working. How can I specify the Ethernet connection instead of WiFi? Thanks
Welked

Go to preferences, network and see if ethernet is indicated. Be sure it shows a green dot. Also be sure it is at the top of the list (above WiFi). If not click on the the wheel at the bottom and set service order.

I want to use Bluetooth to connect iPad to my existing Hi-Fi can I use Apple TV?

I would like to connect my existing Hi-fi to my music on my iPad and iPhone. I know it is probably an overkill but would Apple TV do the job?

No. Apple TV only uses bluetooth to connect to keyboards. Speakers would have to be airplay complaint.

I just downloaded Pocket Light Meter. After I turn on the additional settings, I can see foot candles , however when I compare it to my actual light meter to check the validity of the Pocket Light Meter, they are way off. Any idea how to calibrate it or to check if possibly I am doing something wrong??

I have a new time capsule, want to use it in conjunction with iMac G5 and MacBook; laptop runs Snow Leopard but G5 can't install Snow Leopard, is stuck at OS 10.4.11. Am I doomed? Can anyone advise me? Thanks..

you should still be able to get a copy of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), which should run on your G5.

HT4101 Can I use iPad Camera connection kit with a Sony cyber shot DSC-H10

Can I use iPad connection kit with a Sony cyber shot DSC-H 10 camera to transfer photos

This may help... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4101

TS3989 I do not see any photos copied to iPad using iPad camera connection kit before PhotoS Stream and iCloud were enabled.

I had no problem importing photos to my iPad using the iPad camera connection kit, but now that they are there, I can not get them back off of my iPad. I have set up an iCloud account and enabled Photo Stream on my iPad, downloaded and installed the iCLoud control pannel for Windows, enabled Photo Stream there, and set the download and upload folders. In my "Photos" on iPad I curently have 3 albums: Camera Roll, All Imported, and a sigle folder with some of the photos included in the "All Imported" folder. If I select Photo Stream, there are no photos present, and the note at the bottom explains that it uploads and stores the last 30 days of photos on iCloud and downloads them to all my devides... except.. I just enabled iCloud, and the pix were imported 6 months ago. I really see no logical way of getting them back off this device. Can anyone help highlight what I have overlooked? Thanks. -njw

Never mind... when all else fails... use a cable. D'Ohhh...

Need help! Am wanting to use WRT54GS to connect single PC to existing network.

I purchased a WRT300N router and it replaced my WRT54GS. So the WRT300N is connected to one of my PC's and my modem. Now I want to use the WRT54GS to connect another one of my PC's to the network by connecting an Ethernet cable from the WRT54GS to my other PC. Message Edited by MercedesJim812 on 12-29-2007 03:58 PM

As both the routers are in different ends of house ....
I wil suggest you not to use Wireless Router at another end ..... but you can go for Wireless Ethernet Bridge .... WET54G
It will take connection from first wireless router & it is connected to computer using ethernet cable .....
So the ideal connection is as following:
Modem ---->> WRT54GS ))))))))) WET54G ---->>computer ....
