Will my Mac automatically stop using wifi when connected to an Ethernet enabled thunderbolt display?
Will my 2012 Macbook pro retina automatically stop using wifi when connected to an Ethernet enabled thunderbolt display?
Depends.
If you go in System Preferences / Network, you will see a list of all the network interfaces your current configuration has. If you click on the gear icon next to the minus sign, the drop menu will offer "Set Service Order...". There you can prioritize the order of use: Ethernet above Wi-Fi and wireless will be ignored if Ethernet is available.
Note that the Wi-Fi card will remain active and associated with an access point nonetheless. It just won't be used for communications by the OS and apps.

After TC is set up, will my Mac be backed up even when it is on another wifi network?
After TC is set up, will my Mac be backed up even when it is on another wifi network?
Probably not.. but I cannot say for sure. It depends how the networks are linked.. which you haven't explained.
Anyway you can always find out by simply opening finder and seeing if the TC is available. If not you cannot back up to it.
Explain the setup a bit more and we can probably help a bit more. -
IOS 7 using wifi when plugged in
iPhone 4 user here, updated to iOS 7 and now when my phone is plugged in and connected to wifi it keeps using my wifi, iCloud is off wifi syncing is off so anyone has any idea whats using my wifi when connected ?
Same here. I have to manually kick off a sync, so have to go to my Mac. If I forget, I don't have any new items. I've also recently found that Podcasts no longer sync from iTunes, even once I start the sync manually.

MacPro stop FaceTime opening when connecting camera
MacPro stop FaceTime opening when connecting camera
thanks for helping, but i already saw this thread.
Ive got the same problem than this people, given my camera is firewire iidc.
"Unfortunately, FireWire video cameras are not recognized as imaging sources, so Image Capture doesn't pick them up. As a result, you can't use Image Capture to prevent FaceTime from accessing this video camera"
Another solution?
using Terminal?

Will a DVI to HDMI adaptor work when connecting the ipad2 to a projector?
Will a DVI to HDMI adaptor work when connecting the ipad2 to a projector?
I have connected my ipad2 to my HDTV and it works perfectly. I'm trying to connect the ipad to either the DVI port on my classroom laptop or to my Promethean board so that I can mirror educational apps for my students. Does anyone have suggestions on how to make this work?No, there's not any damage to your MacBook.

ipod touch completely unresponsive. will not turn on at all even when connected to power source. is it dead????
After charging for at least an hour reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next connect the iPod to your computer and see if iTunes sees the iPod. If it does try restoring the iPod via iTunes. If it is not visible try the following to make it visible:
--- Place it in recovery mode via:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
--- Place in DFU mode:

I've tried the listed troubleshooting procedures to activate Facetime and iMessage, but no luck. Are there any other options? If it helps, I'm currently overseas and only using WiFi to connect.
lovethoseleaves,
Oh no! I am saddened to hear that you are having troubles with your MMS pictures. I know that this can be an important thing to be able to do. I appreciate you working with us to get this matter resolved as well. I see that you have spent time working with us, and I know that can also be frustrating. There are a few things we can check though. Are these to any specific numbers or all? A factory reset certainly should've resolved this. We can check into the account set up as well for that if need be. Please share any additional details that you can think of. Thanks.

Hi, i cannot activate my iphone 3Gs i tried many times using wifi and connect. to itunes but activtion is always failed. can you help me to fix this problem?
Do you have a SIM in the phone?
A SIM is required to activate it.
If you DO have a SIM in it, the most common cause of this problem is a phone that was hacked to illegally unlock it and has been updated or restored. -
Have most recent macbook pro connected to thunderbolt via thunderbolt cable. Occasionally when I close my laptop the thunderbolt display goes black and does not come back on---even in response to keyboard. Help
Hello QuinnDev,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are trying to use your MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt Display in closed clamshell mode (MacBook Pro closed), but sometimes the display doesn't stay on. I found an article that talks about closed clamshell mode. You would have to fulfill the following requirements to use your display this way:
Requirements for closed display mode:
Power adapter
External keyboard, mouse, or trackpad
External display
You can find all the steps and the full article here:
Mac notebooks: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display

I hope this helps!
All the best,

I have my Macbook Air hooked up to a Thunderbolt Display, is there any way to power on the Macbook Air using an Apple USB keyboard plugged into the Thunderbolt display? I would like to be able to keep the Macbook Air in the Archbook dock and not have to open it to power it on?
