I recently changed the password for my home network and now my MP495 printer will not connect.
Hi, First time caller, long time listener............
I am running Win 7 on all of the pcs in the house with an Android or two as well. I had to change the pw for my linksys router this past weekend and I noticed today that I can not get on as the "printer is offline". I have done the obvious cycling of pcs , router and printer. I have also tried checking / unchecking the use printer offline. Do I need to redownload the drivers and attach the printer by usb and reinstall it? Its been a while since I installed it and I can't remember if it needed a password to connect or not.
Thank you, I appreciate your time.
Hi Trilo,
Since you changed the password to your wireless router, you will need to reinstall the drivers on your computer to reconnect the printer to your network. Prior to reinstalling, you will want to ensure that the wireless LAN setting on the printer is enabled. To do this, press the Maintenance button on the printer (looks like a pair of pliers and a screwdriver) repeatedly until the symbol that looks like "G" appears in the LCD, then press the <COLOR> button to enable wireless LAN.
Once the wireless LAN has been enabled, please click here to go to the DRIVERS AND SOFTWARE page for the PIXMA MP495. Once on the initial download page for your model, please do the following:
1. Verify that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop-down menu is correct, and if it is not, please click the drop-down menu to select your operating system.
2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "RECOMMENDED FOR YOU" section and click the MP drivers file. When you do, a red DOWNLOAD button will appear. Please click on the checkbox below the DOWNLOAD button, then click the red DOWNLOAD button to begin the download. The time for the download process may vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file being downloaded.
Once the file has been downloaded, please double-click on it to reinstall the printer wirelessly.
Hope this helps!

I recently changed my password for my Apple ID and now I can't receive calls on my iPad or Mac. All devices are signed on with the same iCloud account. Anyone have the same issue?
Hello!
On all of these devices, go to: Settings > iCloud and make sure they're updated with the new password. If you're talking about Macs, go to: "System Preferences > iCloud" too. -
I changed the password for my Apple ID and now my iPhone won't send my texts
I changed the password for my Apple ID and now my iPhone won't send out my texts....says they are undeliverable unless I send them out manually as texts.
Hi sbiermann,
If you have recently changed the password on your Apple ID account, you may need to manually sign out and sign back in to your Apple ID on your device for the change to take effect. You may find the following article helpful:

After both (1) changing the password for my Iphone 4S and now (2) loading system 6.1.3 for it (and restoring when Itunes said I must)
- Itunes it will no longer restore all the apps I bought with the old psasword.
How to get them please?
===========================
Sorry - no - all well, they seem to be all coming back - back just after I put this question.
Mysterious to me but very satisfactory.
Profile doubtless that of an ignoramus.Ok, so I was able to find one but the one i'm most diappointed is the "free music" app i purchased and it had hundreds of songs that i didn't put on my desk top to save. So just so we're clear, I cannot get that app back again with all my songs if it wasn't in the "purchased" place?
Also,
my husband has a iphone 4 and i've been trying to connect it to our Garmin GPS through bluetooth. Now both devices recognize it but once a call is made or received, nothing goes through the GPS. I've had it working before but it was before a couple of upgrades. It is currently on ios7.2 upgrade. Is that why it won't work?
Thanks -
I purchased an iPod touch for my husband for Christmas. I am trying to set it up and using his email address but a message says his email is already in use and if we want to use it we must change the password. we did that and it still won't let me do anything. Any ideas on what could be wrong?
delete the email account and try again

I recently updated iTunes to version 11.5.5, and now my iPhone 5 will not sync up completely with iTunes. ITunes will recognize and sync up, but I now cannot manage my music on my phone. Also, all of my playlists on my iPhone were wiped out. It would be great to retrieve my phone playlists, but more important, be able to manage my music again. I'm running on Windows 7 and I own iPhone 5. Suggestions?
I have windows 8, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with anything, but i figured maybe 11.1.4 just doesn't like 8. soooo.. i went onto my computer settings and uninstalled anything and everything made my apple and then reinstalled itunes 11.1.3 and it now reads my ipod nano happy day thanks apple for making something that you can't help me with at all

So my stupid mum decided to change the password instead of waiting for me to get up -_- and now I have lost all my iMessages that were very important and I can't find them I recently tried to back all my iPod up to my laptop but I had a look and couldn't find anything to do with messages can someone help
You only way is to restore from backup if you have backed up after the Messages were on the iPod but before you "deleted" them. iTunes only retains the last backup.
See the restore topic of:

I changed the password on my WiFi network and can't get my Airport Express to join the network
AT$tT recently replaced my DSL modem with a modem/router. I was able to reset my Airport Express gen1 to join the network. Then I changed my network password and cannot get it to reconfigure to join the network with a new password. Suggestions?
Next time you want to change the network password.......change it on the Express first....and then on your main router. Then, as soon as you restart the main router, the Express already has the settings that it needs to join the network and it will join with no problems.
Now, you must reset the Express back to factory default settings and then set it up again. To do that......
Power off the Express for a minute
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after the 10 second hold, and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light status
The Express has now been reset and you can reconfigure it to join your "new" network now. -
I tried recovery at least three times, and it says that it can not complete the activation at this time. I did take my Sim card out and try as well, because I had to use it in my old phone. I reopened the phone and double checked that everything was plugged back in from the screen change. What went wrong??? I restored it before and everything worked fine. It's not hacked or jailbroke, so I don't know what's going on???? Please help!
Yes, i did. I bought a screen repair kit and it was very simple to change. it works, but its stuck in recovery mode...
