My MacBook Pro, running 10.7.3, does not recognize when my iPhone and iPad are on the same network, thus it does not synch. Any ideas?

Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

HT3500 I cannot connect Macbook (OS 10.6.8) to Epson XP 400 wirelessly. It works when connected to a USB cable. Both printer and Mac are on the same network and Norton/symantic is OFF. The Epson will not show up in "add printer". is off.

I cannot connect my Macbook to Epson printer XP 400. Both are on the same network and Symantic anti virus is disconneted.
Add printer does not find the Epson. All works when I use the USB cable.

Further information on my question about the epson wireless printer and macbook.
It seems that the epson xp-400 works wirelessly only with 802.11n wireless network not with 802.11g or earlier.
Does anyone else know about this. I read it on the epson support site for epson xp-400.
Also epson xp-400 will not work wirelessly if it is already connected to a computer with a USB cable.

Backup failed . Make sure your computer and backup drive are on the same network. What does this mean?

Backup Failed. Comment is "Make sure your computer and backup disc are on the sme network and the backup disc is turned on". What does this mean?

Just back from the dentist.
Did a hard reset and when i asked time capsule to do a backup it tells
me
"Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image is already in use"
I think I misunderstand how this back up device works.
Is it to be plugged into the back of the router with an ethernet cable?
I have the Time capsule sitting beside my Imac.
The cable modem and router are in another room
I am new at this stuff. Thank you for patience and help

Plugins that i know are compatible in version 7.0.1 are reporting as not compatible when i try and install then in the same version running inside of VMware.

Greetings ..
I am trying to run Firefox inside of VMware Workstation V8 in Widows 7 and Fusion V4 in Mac OS X 10.7.2.
I first tried to restore a working profile backup of Firefox made with FEBE in windows inside of VMWARE, when I load Firefox more that half of the plugins that were working in Windows and OS X natively, are reporting as not compatible with this (V7.0.1) Firefox and will not update to a working version, as in many cases they are the latest version anyway.
Also it is inconsistent, as i have tried several times to install Firefox and restore the profile and each time it is not all the same plugins that are disabled and reporting as incompatible.
I have also tried to do a clean install of Firefox and going to the website and installing the plugins directly, and while i have not tried all of the disabled plugins, I am unable to install plugins that i am currently using in the same version of Firefox outside of VMware that are working and or can be installed when I am not running Firefox inside of VMware.

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Does "Deleted Messages - Remove" on iPhone and iPad refer to the server, or just the device?

I have been trying to understand the settings in iOS devices in mail apps "Deleted Messages - Remove" and the selection of time including never. Does this refer to deleting from the severs - wherever/whomever they are - or from the device itself. This appears in the advance settings in mail for pop accounts.
If never is selected, is that so the sever holds it for the computer's mail client to see (albeit as unread) and trash it then (where it could be on sever forever if desired) or does that mean it will not be removed it from the iPhone or iPad until trashed and therefore not seen by one's other devices/computer.
Be gentle - this is my first question.

Your scores will not sync. You will have "different scores' on each device. And say if the game has different levels that you have to unlock, your progress on one device will not sync to the other.

HT204534 I activated filevault 4 days ago and it has rendered my macbook pro unworkable. There is no estimated time showing in firevault, it seems stuck in the same place. It will not let me turn off firevault in Sec&P or CMD+R

OS X YOSEMITE 10.10.1. 13inch late 2011 2.4 GHz DDR3 500 gig
AFter installing Yosemite and enabling Firevault my machine has become so slow it is unusable whilst encrypting is in progress.
It will not let me turn it off.
THe estimated time remaining has never revealed itself ... it has been encrypting now for 4 days and the guider has not moved from its one quarter position.
IT will not allow me to turn it off via CMD+R
I am absolutely stuck.
HELP!
I have removed the power save options and keep the computer on all the time now with the Firevault screen visible .. nothing speeds it up.
I regret enabling Firevault .. but it is so unforgiving for the uninformed ... like me.

Back up all data before proceeding. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Disk Utility. In the Disk Utility window, select the icon of the startup volume from the list on the left. Then, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Turn Off Encryption
Enter the login password of a user authorized to unlock the volume, or the alternate decryption key that was generated when you activated FileVault.
You can then restart as usual, if the system is working. Decryption will be completed in the background. It may take several hours, and during that time performance will be reduced.

My MacbookPro will not recognize when a flash drive is put into the USB port. It does not show in finder at all.

I put a HP flash drive into a USB port and it never shows in finder under devices. I want to copy photos to it to load onto a electronic picture frame. Why doesn't the flash drive show in finder?

First, open up the Apple System Profiler by choosing Apple Menu > About This Mac, and then click More Info.
then select USB off the hardware list. If your flash drive is connected to the system, it will appear here. If it does not appear, there is a problem with either the port or the drive.
If the flash drive shows up in the system profiler, the problem is in your Finder preferences. Finder prefs (⌘+comma) allow you to designate what shows up on the desktop and Finder sidebar.

HT204291 I have updated the new iOS today and the mirring feature still does not appear on my iPad, iPhone 5 or Apple TV and all are on the same network ... Now what?

Ok it's been two weeks and I have not been able to mirror since I updated to IOS 7. I have called the support people with no avail. I was hoping that the new IOS7.2 software would fix the problem but once again I was mistaken... Do any of you know a way that I can go back to the IOS6 system so that my stuff will work?

Thanks, but a I indicated in my original post, I have already tried everything in that KB article. That article doesn't address the fact that I can mirror from an iPad 4, but not from an iPad 2. According to all of the documentation about mirroring, there is no reason why the airplay / mirroring icon shouldn't appear. It's explicitly enabled on iPad 2.

I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
Thanks so much!

FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
-Close FCP
-Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
-Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
-Empty your trash
Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

My macbook pro running OS X 10.8.3 freezes when I plug an adapter into the displayport, even when nothing is connected to the other (vga) end. Anyone know a solution?

My macbook pro running OS X 10.8.3 freezes when I plug an adapter into the displayport, even when nothing is connected to the other (vga) end. Anyone know a solution? I have used this adapter with a macbook air and it works flawlessly, but the moment I plug into the minidisplayport the macbook pro freezes with a little spinning color wheel that goes on and on. . .

Hello there, sarhang27753.
First thing that would come to mind to resolve the issue would be SMC and PRAM resets. I've linked Knowledge Base articles below:
SMC
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
PRAM

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

My macbook pro can see my home wi-fi network but cannot connect to it. My iphone and ipad are connected to my home wi-fi so the problem is not the modem.

Wow, I tried to submit this as a problem and the computer lost the wifi connection again, so i lost the whole explanation i typed up.
I've turned off computer and modem multiple times.
When I tried to run the network diagnostic, the macbook pro gave me a "perhaps you are out of range error". I am sitting next to the modem.
My iphone and ipad are wonderfully connected to the home wifi network, so it cannot be the modem/router, correct?
If I am on the same floor as the router/modem then the macbook pro can see my home network but after tyoing in my password and trying to connect i get a "timed out" message.
If I move down one floor, then the macbook can see and connect to the wifi. I only have one modem on one floor.
Is there some sort of diagnostic I can run to see why this particular device (macbook pro) is behaving ths way? It just seems weird because the computer could connect to the wifi network yesterday while i was sitting next to the router.

SOLUTION!
I've been suffering from this problem for a few months. I tried everything suggested by everyone, and then, today, I had a mad idea.
I used to work in a room in the house that's about 12 metres away from the router. It's on the next storey up and horizontally about 8 metres away. The problem started when I began to work in the same room as the router.
Today I became so frustrated that for some reason I walked into a room about 8 metres away on the same level - Guess what? I connected with no problem at all. Feeling full of joy I walked back to the room where the router is located - Dropped internet connection within a few minutes! Walked back to the the room that's 8 metres away and, hey presto! I have a connection. I now realise that the problem was that I moved too close to the router.
I can think of no logical explanation for my experience, but empirically it seems to work. Does anyone have the faintest idea of why this should be the case? In the absence of an answer I think I may have to start believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden - I'm just off to set a meal for them.
By the way, I don't know if it has any significance, but the router is a BT Infinity router that has replaced the incredibly unreliable Virgin Media cable connection

This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

Commercial software utility for transferring songs from i-device to Mac - http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/

You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that. iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
Hope I can help!
