A Bit Off Topic, But Can the HP Photosmart C3140 Be Shared Over a Network?

I was going to get a MacBook and since I need a new printer, this one looks good since it would be free (after the $100 rebate).
However, I've had trouble sharing HP printers over a network in the past. Would this one give me any problems. Also, if it's connected to a Windows computer, would it make a difference?

Hey Large,
Some printers don't support network printing because of driver issues and what not, but the C3140 should work just fine.
As for your windows question. I have found it easier to print from a mac, over a network to a PC, than the other way around.
Also don't be afraid to call apple tech support when you get your macbook. They will walk you through the networking process and answer any questions you might have. It's free for 90 days so use it.
Good luck

A bit off topic, but what time should I arrive at the Keynote?

I'm posting this in the FCP forum because this is the only one I read. I'm attending Macworld for the first time and I have the cheap tickets for the Keynote (user's conference). I have no idea how early I need to show up to wait in line to guarantee I get into the Keynote.
Thanks and sorry for the off topic post.

Just showing a pick of what I look like...hee.
I will have an exhibitors pass, so I wonder if I can get in any later and still get good seats? HA! I will bring my lappy, to keep me occupied (I hope they have wireless access).
For iChat reports I'd need all your iChat accounts. That would be one BIG group chat.

A bit off topic but you have been so brilliant here before!!:))

Trying to get to a quick answer and without going into lots of detail on Network Infrastructure etc etc I am helping a charity and they have just put in a couple of new lasers so .......what might be the reason for an HP Laserjet P1505N (networked) printing a standard MS Word text document as garbage characters (mainly extended ascii)? BUT if the text is formatted to a colour however (I've been using dark red!) it prints correctly.
Graphics (bitmaps) print OK
USB (direct PC to printer connection works fine)
So in other words down the network colour text or graphics is OK but normal black text documents are not.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated, I assume some kind of driver mix up but because of the strange workaround I thought the exact cause might ring some bells with someone (seems like a bit or a byte has lost the plot somewhere along the line (127..256 7,8 bits ascii tables etc etc)). I'm no network expert and I stopped using PC's at home about 7 months ago..........(after 20 years of very educational WAR!!!)
Thanks for any help....rob
oh the system is Win XP, & 2003 server (I think!!)

Errrr, Rob:
oh the system is Win XP, & 2003 server (I think!!)
If the configuration you posted is correct, I seriously doubt that anyone here will be able to give you any feedback (we are Apple people, after all).
I suggest you contact HP and ask them the question.

A bit off topic, but not too far

due to the lack of an autodownload for JRE 1.4 I am forced to use another method for installing it. Does anyone know a way to check what JRE version the user has using some sort of web scripting? I've seen examples of how to check within an applet or application - but I don't really want to do that.

It makes sense, because if it existed, it means that it is possible by a web site to spy your system.
What is possible to have some applets running on a page, and a submit button next to where the user can answer the question, if the applet is running properly. E.g. put up an 1.3 applet with some animation and an 1.4 applet with an animation. The let the user hit that submit button where the animation plays properly.
This way the user discloses the information to your site, that's technical possible and ok. Spying is not.
I'm not sure how the latest installers by Sun work, might be some active X based spying installer, which reports the proper config. :-)

Sort of off topic, but same old question looking for a new answer

Ok I'm ready to start a new site. I'm going cheap as it's all coming out of my pocket including hosting. I want to put a video chat room on my site. Is there anyway to capture a webcam in this fashion in director. I've done tons of searching but I can't really find anything. I'm trying to avoid using the flash communication server for three reasons. 1) I already have the director multiuser server that will host up to 1000 users (the room will never be anything close to that big 50 peeps tops) and my web host will support it and install it for me. 2) I can't find anything at a really cheap price. I'm looking at 25 cam users at once... 3) Actionscript is nothing I've every really worked with before, but I could do the lingo programming.
I have a few questions First of all I read something about putting a flash element on the stage, and that the flash player is what captures the webcam. But I assume that it still needs flash communication sever to upload the video. Is this correct?
Is there an xtra that will do what I want?
I read something about encoding the video to realvideo, but I have no clue how as I've never done anything like that before. Will this work and do you know of a tutorial for this?
Do you know of a really really cheap flash comm host?
Really off topic but, I could write the text chat end of it in cold fusion. Is there a known way to easily add the video in this way?
Does anyone know of a cheap off the shelf video chat room that I can put up on my site and just pay for the bandwidth overage that it uses?
Thanks for any help any of you could give me.

There are several 2.4 GHz MacBook pros shipped over several years.
If this is your Mac (2007 model) scroll down to the memory section and read:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/stats/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-2 .4-15-santa-rosa-specs.html
Standard RAM:
2 GB
Maximum RAM:
6 GB*
Details:
2 GB installed as two 1 GB modules. No slots free.
*Apple officially supports a maximum of 4 GB of RAM but third-parties have been able to upgrade the system to 6 GB of RAM using one 2 GB and one 4 GB memory module.
Site sponsor Other World Computing sells MacBook Pro memory, as well as hard drives, batteries, carrying cases, and accessories.
... and that sponsor is not a bad place to get RAM at all. They are experts, and back it up with a "money back if it does not work in your Mac" guarantee.

WebAssist Cart help? I know it's off topic but... Could really use some help...

I've got a shopping cart that is working and I'm trying to update the
quantities in inventory by subtracting the quantity ordered from the total
inventory in a table called ITEMS.
I can update a record after a sale in the cart, but right now it is
updating by completely replacing the value of the items in inventory with
the quantity in the checkout cart. So, if there are 800 items, after the
update, there are -1 total in inventory, not 799.
The problem is that I don't know how to coordinate the item(s) in the stored
shopping cart with a call to their ID and quantity in the online database.
Here's what I have so far:

Ahhhhhhhh Jeff... If I can get this going... I spent days looking for this solution. Thank you very much. Just bought Dreamweaver CS3 and am battling through the bells and whistles.

I have deleted all my photos off iPhone but can still view them on appletv . How do I get them back on my phone?

I have deleted all my photos off iPhone but can still view them on appletv . How do I get them back on my phone?

If you have deleted all the photos from your iPhone you can't get them back. The only place they might exist is if you backed them up to iPhoto if you have a Mac. If you have iCloud and Photo Steam enabled, then the last 100 photos would be saved in your Photo Stream.

Slightly off topic but a query on open type fonts

Hi all
I went to buy the frutiger fonts (9fonts) from adobe. The format is open type which is what I want. B ut when going to buy them I am asked whether I want mac or windows format. I thought open type fonts were cross platform? We have both MACs and PCs, if I want the font on both do I have to buy both formats ?
Link to font:
http://store.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_1186.jhtml
Thanks for any help, sorry for this being off topic but I couldn't see where else to post.

Yes, that's it, pretty much. Also, our download manager needs to know whether you're using Mac or Windows. The *contents* of the purchased file are the same.

HT201210 Daft question I know but can the IOS 7 update be erased and an older version be restored?

Daft question maybe but can the IOS 7 software be erased and an older version put on an iphone 5??????

Apple offers no supported way to do it. As such any other non supported ways that may exist cannot be discussed in these forums.
No that if you try any of the non supported ways you may void your warranty and forfeit any support from Apple including these forums.
Yoiu can use Google to find ways of doing this at your own risk.

HT1695 How can I connect my MacBook to Internet over cellular network

How can I connect my MacBook to Internet over cellular network?

Perhaps a little off-topic, but...

I use Google's Gmail for my email. I noticed something that kind of freaked me out, though. As I was reading a note from a friend, I noticed that Google's ads to the side of the message were a little too closely related to the contents of the email. For instance, my friend mentioned Social Security and, yep, there were ads to the right about Social Security.
I thought I was just being paranoid but it happened again and again. I guess it's just a computer keyword search, but isn't it illegal for Google to be searching the contents of emails?
Like I said, it really disturbed me, and I really think it's "for real". It's probably just a marketing thing, but it sure seems like a violation.
Does anyone know anything about this, and if so, can I contact any agency to help protect the privacy of Gmail users? I contacted Google and only received a generic automated response saying they appreciated my interest but didn't have the ability to answer all questions.
Thanks,
Allan

Hi allono,
Welcome back!
Using web-e-mail is obviously a no brainer. IE., they use software that helps them advertise on key words to get you linked. Thus profits.
No e-mail is really private. The only safest way to share documents for Mac users in the drop box between multiple user accounts.
Other than that maybe Binhex format, large bit encrypted files, via file sharing or local network sharing, better yet the postal mail of media (encrypted too).

Bit off topic: Storyboarding

Hey guys
What app are you using to create storyboards? Googling the idea just returns a bunch of terrible looking apps that seem just Windows based.
I can draw my own panels, then retouch in photoshop and layout the boards with InDesign, but its not ideal (just reordering scenes is a bit of a pain)
Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Fede

Wouldn't hurt if the folks of this thread commented also over on the "Story" Adobe board ... trying to get somethint better out of them for us.
I did talk with one of the Story people at NAB ... he explained that Story was actually (in application) pretty much designed to fit the needs of a major cable/sat news network, and they hadn't really put that much thought into the program past that. On listening to what I wanted to be able to use it for, which is to help design my short little interview projects and web-'mercials and such, he thought for a moment, and did say that there was probably use for this with more people than they had thought there would be ... that the current limitations might largely be from a lack of imagination on their own part, as far as envisioning an actual current market that would be available to them.
It was very clear that the resources would be available only as the upper management saw an immediately approachable market.
While we were chatting, a "Sr. Manager" by badge came over to join the conversation, and we re-capped the previous comments including the Story dude's comment. The "Sr. Manager" nodded thoughtfully, and admitted that at his level they hadn't really put any thought into Story as more of a wide-use program ... period. It was pretty much thought of as for X client ... and even he admitted that on continued thinking, that is probably less than optimal on Adobe's part.
Not that he was committing any more resources to it, mind you ... sigh ...

HT1212 im locked out of my ipod, and the screen isnt responding when i go to swipe to unlock it or when i swipe to turn it off. But, in the top left hand corner, there is an outline of a box. how do i fix this

im locked out of my ipod, and the screen isnt responding when i go to swipe to unlock it or when i swipe to turn it off. All of my notifications are there but i cant reply to any of them. My screen is completly unresponsive. But, in the top left hand corner, there is an outline of a box. how do i fix this?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Maybe off topic, but.....

hope this isnt too of topic, but looking for suggestions
