Connecting hp psc 950 to iMac Intel with USB cable
I have had my iMac for about 14 months and have been using an old Dell PC for most of my printing needs. I have reached the point that I want to convert everything to the iMac. I have Fusion and am running Windows 7 there so I can use Quicken 2010 (the Mac version is worthless). I want to print my checks to the same printer that I have been using on the PC. I thought it would be simple to just connect the printer to the Mac using the cable, but the Mac doesn't see the printer. I downloaded the latest driver from HP and no better. Why doesn't this work and how do I fix it.
I also have an old hp Laserjet 5L that I use from time to time and would like to do the same thing.
My wife wants to connect a CanoScan 8400F via a USB cable and the same thing applies. I know this should be simple but I am stumped. Anyone have a fix for me?
Thanks in advance
Go to System Preference>Printer&Fax. In the sidebar of the window that appears you will see all the printers that are set up (in your case that my be empty). At the bottom of the sidebar you will see buttons for + & =. Click the + button. A window will appear showing all printers attached to your Mac. Highlight the printer you want, then click the add button.

I just had Uverse installed. My iMac desktop has been the base station for my wi fi, but we had to connect it via ground wire of my electrical system and use another desktop as the base station [with windows op system]. We have connected my Time Capsule to the computer via USB cable. I believe that will require setting up the Capsule to use Ethernet, but the instructiions on the install disc only talk about using Airport. How can I find instructions for setting up using USB cable and Ethernet?
Thanks!
Charles LeachAll the manuals are listed at the head of the thread.

The TC cannot connect to the computer by USB.. it is network device.. it only connects by ethernet or wireless.. usb is for external drive or printer. -

My ipod ejects itself, immediately after connecting with usb cable, before synchronizing could start. What’s wrong?
Have you tried plugging the iPod in with a different USB sync cable to verify the issue is not with the cable? It might not also hurt to connect it to another USB port as well.
Otherwise, try manually placing the iPod into Disk Mode and then connecting it to your PC.

lightning connection from my ipa mi to camera with usb delted the pics fom my camera and they are not ony ipad
Where did the movies come from?
For what you said you should be easily be able to do what you want except for:
"remove them from the ipad but still have access to them for viewing on the road or at hotel"
Home sharing only works wehn the devices are connected to the same network

I just bought a new HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 printer. I have been unable to download the installation for wireless connection even though have had the assistance of Costco tech, HP tech and some advice from Apple. Because the system is MacOs 10.5.8 the error says it is incompatible, even though the product lists compatiblilty with 10.5, 10.6. I was advised 1 option might be to obtain Snow Leopard for installation, however am somewhat reluctant as the bo states 10.5 should work and Snow Leopard is 10.6, which is also listed as compatible. I am unable to get the printer to work even with USB cable. Too much time spent on this and I hate to start over with another printer because I'm afraid I might have the same trouble. Is Snow Leopard something I should get anyway? Help!
Snow Leopard has more compatible Java.

If that doesn't work to fix the problem, then see my FAQ* on printing:

Using AC adapter to charge is better than charge it with USB cable?
I've been reading this on http://www.ipodbatteryfaq.com/
"When possible, always use the AC adapter (or vehicle adapter) for extended charging, not a FireWire cable attached to a computer."
The artical does not explain why, but I'm curious about it.
So, does charging iPod with USB cable really damage the battery?
Is it always better to charge iPod with AC adapter?
Any answer will be appreciated, thanks in advance anywayEven if you use an a/c adaptor you still need the usb cable to connect it to the iPod. The very same cable you use to connect to the computer.
A firewire cable is something completely different, and although the 5th gen iPod will charge via a firewire cable they are not supplied with the iPod (because the iPod won't accept data transfer via firewire).
When reading about the iPod battery, you should remember that there is an awful lot of nonsense said. I've never found any difference whatsoever either charging via a mains adaptor or via a computer. -
I plugged my Ipad3 in order to update the software to version 6.1 but I got an error message and my Ipad is locked now, it's showing the Itunes logo with USB cable on the screen. What should I do now?
You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.

I just updated my phone and it is now stuck with usb cable and itunes logo and itunes on my computer says I have to restore. Can I get my phone working again without loosing my photos?
There is no other way than to plug into a computer to restore the phone. You can use another computer to do so, but in case you did not back up to iCloud your data and settings will be gone.
Follow this article to connect in recovery mode:

Charge my phone with USB cable
Hi DearsI have a Z3-compact phone. When I connect it to my copmuter with usb cable, it does not charge.Please help me, how can I solve this problem????
Hi Z3-sam,
Welcome to the community.
One thing to note, if you are using the device on say a work computer, there may be security restrictions that wont allow MTP mode to charge the handset.
You could try changing the device in to MSC mode and then seeing if the charge works.

Slightly worrying that no USB functionality at all with device which might be indicative of possible hardware problem.
