AirPrint no longer works with ios 5?

I can no longer print from my print app print n share. I used this app to
Print my "drivers log book" app. Tech support from print n share said
Apple took away the feature to print through all print apps that send wifi
Straight to the printer. Why would apple do this?

It's possible to use free software (Virtualbox and Ubuntu) to fix the broken iOS 5 Airprint printing with non supported printers.  Here's a fix that works on my imac, but should also work on even a windows pc.
My setup is a lion imac with 2 non-airprint supported usb printers attached, a belkin wifi router that provides network connectivity for my imac, ipad, and iphone.
Install ubuntu 11.10 in a virtualbox vm.  Specify to use the "Bridged Adapter" with "en1: WiFi (AirPort)" for the network hardware.  Make sure the imac's usb printers are setup with sharing.  On ubuntu, select System Settings > Printers and add your imac's shared printers to the list.  Then start ubuntu's firefox and set "localhost:631" in the address. On the administration tab, under the Server section, check "Share printers connected to this system" and hit Change Settings button to activate it.  Go back to ubuntu's printer setup, and right click on each printer and check that the properties Policies tab does not have any messages about it being unshared. If so, then go back to firefox and make sure the Server sharing checkbox is enabled. It may help to reboot.
Fire up virtualbox to be able to use AirPort printing to your imac's usb printers, when you want to print from the iphone or ipad. This also works on iOS 5.
Only problem is error message from iphone to check the printer for errors, even though it actually prints ok.

  • Active Sync certificates no longer work with iOs 4.3

    Existing Active Sync certificates no longer work with iOs 4.3. Can I fix this?

    My results differ from yours.
    With iOS 4.0x, 4.1 and 4.2x my smart playlists with live updating were broken. It would start with track 1 of 5, then 2 of 4, then 3 of 3, 4 of 2, then would generally crash the iPod app. If I left the playlist and re-entered it would have removed the entries already played, but I would find that some of the entries that should have played had actually been skipped in m playlist.
    With iOS 4.3, my playlists are properly working for me again. Now they play 1 of 5, 2 of 5, 3 of 5, ... If I return to the playlist while it is playing, I see that the entries that have already played are removed, and if I leave the playlist to return later, it starts over a 1 of 2, 2 of 2...
    I have posted another thread of how I have my playlists defined, so perhaps that would help you. I do recall that there were some conditions that used to cause problems if used in a smart playlist.

  • Ipod out no longer works with iOS 6.1

    As the title suggests, after updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 the iPod out function no longer works with connected devices. With the previous version, I could hook up my Kenwood car stereo using the lightning to 30 pin adapter and the stereo would "Read" my iPhone and begin playing the first track of my music collection. I also had song, artist and playlist search support.
    Now, all I get is a constant "Reading" indicator and can't get past this point.
    Is anyone else having any experiences similar to this and does anyone have any suggestions to fix it?
    Thanks

    Try this.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off.
    Set the date one year ahead. Try to get email.
    If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to get email again.

  • IPad 2 hdmi connector no longer works with iOS 7.3

    Hi any one else had this issue? I have always connected my iPad 2 to my tv via a apple made hdmi connector, used mainly for fils on netflix eat. Since firmware updated to 7.3 this no longer works. Is this anther apple issue? My wife has an iPad 3, pre lightening and the "official" adapter has never works just get a message that states the attached accessory is not supported.... Any ideas anyone???

    I have an ipad 2 running ios 6.0.1 and an older Dell TV (1080i) and have always been able to mirror.  Running ios 5 the mirroring worked perfectly for sound and video.  Don't remember if I tried while running 5.1.  Now that I have 6.0.1, I can still mirror, but the whole screen is pink on this Dell TV.  When I make the connection from ipad to the tv, mirroring starts immediately and the notification bar on the ipad home screen pulsates from blue to black and the cable is detected.  I have sound and video working fine except for the colors.  The ipad detects the AV Composite cable under settings>about but there is no TV out setting under General Settings where I'm supposed to see TV OUT listed under iTunes Wi-Fi sync.  I have changed the hdmi to a new one, but it didn't help.  I also have a new Panasonic Viera tv and everything (with the same cables) works perfectly on that TV.  Leads me to believe it's an issue with the TV OUT function of the ipad.  I don't know if any of this is helfpul information, but I thought it might help you narrow down what is going on with your setup.

  • Airplay no longer works with IOS 7.0.3?

    I have uploaded IOS 7.0.3 to my I-Pad but now Music does not offer Airplay through my Airport Express and music system as it used to - is there any fix?  Airport Utility shows a good connection and Airplay is enabled.  The system works OK with my MacBook Pro

    If you don't see the AirPlay icon in the Control Center:
    1. Turn off router, Apple TV and iPad
    2. Turn on router and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process
    3. Turn on Apple TV and then wait 30 seconds for it to complete start-up process
    4. Turn on iPad (wait 30 seconds) and test AirPlay

  • Apple Lightning to SD Card Reader no longer working with iOS 8.0.2

    I just tried to copy photos from my wedding to my iPhone 5 and iPad Mini w/Retina(both with iOS8.0.2), and I get the message "This device is not supported". I find this odd, as it is the official Apple branded SD card reader.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this would all of a sudden not be working? I had no issues prior to updating to 8.0.2.
    If it is just this version of iOS, I do hope that it is fixed in 8.1.

    The lightning to SD card reader has NEVER been supported on the iPhone only on iPads

  • Answering calls from car no longer works with iOS 8 update

    After updating the firmware to iOS8 my iPhone no longer answers calls from my car bluetooth audio. I get the call alert but the car answer button is disabled.. I am using standard bluetooth communication and not the A2DP technology.
    Is anyone facing a similar issue?
    I am using iPhone 5s

    I know that I had to delete the entry in the car's Bluetooth setup (for Steve's iPhone - replaced and iPhone 5 with 6) and then go through the setup again to get it to work. Perhaps that would solve your issue?

  • Gmail push no longer working with iOS 6?

    I am not sure if this is an iPhone 5 issue or an iOS 6 issue but since getting my iPhone 5, GMail is not getting pushed to my device, mail only arrives when I open the Mail app. All of my settings are correct, the account is set up as an Exchange account and the same settings work fine on my iPad 2. I have deleted and re-added the account, removed all mail accounts and added them back one by one, and now done a restore. Still exactly the same problem.
    Only option I can see is to set up as a new phone but that's going to be painful, anyone else having the same problem?
    Thanks
    Chris

    Guys, I've just tried this and it worked for me. I'll post an update if it stops working, but it appears having 2-step authorisation is mandatory on iOS 6

  • Bluetooth no longer works with iOS 7

    Hi everyone, my Bluetooth simply will not work on my iPhone 4 of my iPad 2. It turns on and searches however they don't even discover each other. I have tried to pair it with my car which it des see however I keep getting an error when I try to pair them. I don't even get to the password stage. Any one know a fix for this? Thanks

    There are some other discussions on loss of lock screen and control center music controls.

    I believe it is the same issue, which would indicate that it is an issue with the phone, nothing to do with the car/stereo/speakers/etc.
    When I lose Bluetooth control I also lose lock screen (and control center) controls.  Other controls work, but no play, pause, skip forward/back, and of course no song resume on reconnection.  A hard phone reset or power cycle fixes it every time, I never have to mess with the car.  However, the issue re-occurs about every 2-4 days and I have to reset the phone again to get control back.  Does everyone else lose lock screen control at the same time as BT?
    It may be a hardware issue.  I have a 4S.  What phone models are exibiting the BT issue?

  • Sd photo import camera kit not working with iOS 8

    I bought an Apple brand sd card photo import camera kit for the iPhone 5 (lightning cable) a couple years ago. It no longer works with iOS 8.x. I now have an iPhone 6 Plus and it still does not work. I get the error "This accessory is not supported by this iPhone." Since it is Apple brand it should work.
    I have googled and searched the forums and found no leads on this. I was hoping with the latest 8.3 release it would be addressed. Does anyone know how to get this to work or is it an apple bug?

    One article that might be helpful is here (suggesting you need HUB if it's drawing too much power):
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4106
    @ rotorcraft:
    It has to have a DCIM folder, but the directory after the DCIM folder, and the files themselves, have to follow DCF rules (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designrule_for_Camera_Filesystem)..if it's the structure created by the camera it should be fine but if you change the folder to something other than DSC_xxxx and you change the image filename to something other than ABCD1234.whatever then it won't show up.
    You can double check if the kit is being recognized at all in Settings -> About, then scroll to the bottom, it should say like Apple Card reader or something I forget. If it isn't, I would just reboot

  • IHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update.

    My iHome no longer works with iPhone 4s after iOS 6.1 update.  Prompts message 'This accessory is not supported by iPhone'.  Has anyone come accross this and is there a fix?

    Ring up iHome and ask them for a fix... And if they cant supply you with a fix... Then you should be entitled to a replacement or a upgrade, as firmware upgrades on your ios device should not affect audio products......
