10.7.4 and brother HL-2270 impossible mix
The printer worked perfect with previous OS (Snow Leopard)
I have tried everything so far
Where am I getting it wrong?
I have tried with the printer connected to the router and to the computer (Mac Pro) using a cable like this (I have always assumed that installing it wireless would need even more time to make it work). The only type of cable I have no used is the third in this picture.
I have downloaded last drivers update from Brother's site and from Apple support (downloads area / brother drivers)
I have reseted the printing system
I have trashed the contents of Library > Printers > Brother
I have installed many many times Brother drivers, even earlier versions (not for 10.7, but for 10.6 too, 10.5... Just in case)
I have tried adding the printer using the IP method, either with the address —given by the router?— 192.168.1.etc and the address via APIPA. None of them worked.
As I said before, my printer worked perfect until I installed 10.7.4.
And when I click the + symbol to add a new printer, all I ALWAYS get in return is the image you see below: No printers. Not a single time.
At this point I have no idea what else I can do.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

i have an iPad 2 and the volume icon is in the middle of my screen and when i try to turn the volume down it just goes back up again and it makes it impossible for me to play games or do anything
Have you tried giving it a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple let go and let it reboot and see if htat helps.

Have you synced this phone, with iTunes, while the passcode was enabled? If so, plug it in, iTunes running, & hit the Restore button on the Summary Pane. This will also erase the phone.
However, if you have not synced, while the passcode was enabled, you will not be able to do this without first enereting the passcode. If that's the case, try recovery mode:

Macbook airport extreem and brother printer/scanner DCP-330C
I have macbook airport extreem and brother printer/scanner DCP-330C and everything works fine.
I can print wireless.
The only thing that irritates me is, when I start my macbook I first see a screen with MFL-ProSuite, I quit then a screen with connect with USB, I quit and then I see a small blue screen.
Is there a way to get rid of these things, so I can start directly with the things I want to do.
Thanks for the reply.
FrankThat is something that has to do with the brother software. Doesn't have anything to do with the airport base station.
I would try and Contact brother to see about disabling it.
What I think , is probably because the printer is on the airport not the computer so brothers software is getting confused.
See about deleting just the software and not the drivers. That is if you dont need the software.

When I watch YouTube videos on my iPhone 5 it sometimes suddenly drops in quality so much the whole video goes blurry and it's almost impossible to watch anything?? Help also I think it might have to do with my wifi but I'm not sure. Sometimes I also try to skip to sections of a vid and it just lags for ages and nothing happens.

Good for you! I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it works.
Enjoy your Pismo.

My ipad will has a pop-up that will not go away when I click ok, and makes it completely impossible to use the ipad. The pop-up says "iCloud Backup: This ipad has not been backed up in 6 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wifi." I do not know what to do.
Same situation. Had to pull out the Mini to research this. The Apple logo has been on the screen about five min, oh, just went black. Home brought it back and popup is gone. Wonder why this happened to many folks.

When my mom and brother go to update their apps, it askes for my password for my itunes account. Yet they have their own accounts and they're signed into them for iCloud and for purchasing apps. It doesn't make sense to me and it was out of nowhere...

I upgraded my ipad3 to the latest ios7.0.2 and the device is "dragging its heels". I need to wait 15secs to logon and it is almost impossible to type a small word. The situation is unbearable and reminds me the first windows phones 6.0!!!
Any suggestions? Can I go back to the initially installed os?
Many thanks in advance,

Double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. You may have many open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign.

I am confused by the layout of the I tunes Store...Ive had no problems or troubel for YEARS with the I Tunes store, but recently the entire graphics on the i tunes store pages are a complete mess, not downloading, creating odd layover and jumbled data and making it virtually impossible to access or read. I am looking for information or guidance on how to re-boot or fix this - Help?!
I can see that this issue has been quite extensive, and frustrating, and I am so sorry for all that has happened societygirl! I would like to help you work this issue out. Please follow & send me a Direct Message, so I can get your account specifics and help finally bring this to a resolution.

i install my sound card and its sounds properly.but bass and treble control at surround mixer is disable.my card is sound blaster audigy value.whats the problem? is there hardware problem in my card? plz help
cold_terminator,
IIRC, that's normal for the Audigy Value. You should have the Creative Equalizer application. That takes the place of the treble and bass controls. It's more complex of course. -
Scanning multiple pages with preview and brother MFC-7440n
Hi,
because of some problems with my old scanner after i installed snow leopard, i bought a new compatible one. It's a brother MFC-7440n with apple build-in drivers.
When i start scanning to preview with more than one page, there will be a pdf document for every page. It doesn't matter if i choose "create just one document".
First i wondered because in leopard preview multiple pages are displayed like in snow leopard. But this is wrong. There is one pdf file for every page.
How can i change that issue? When i scan more than one page, i wan't one pdf document with multiple pages, not a pdf per page.
Thanks a lot.
DominikHi Dominik,
What about Brother's scanner software? Do they have a scan program you can use to create multiple page documents? I have a Canon, and its software did that. The only other way is how I explained in my previous post. I have no issue using Preview for the simple document scanning I do. But if you have more needs, perhaps the Brother scan program should be installed.
Brother has issued a scanner driver update on 9/10....

Thanks in advance for any help you folks can offer. I'm a newb here and will try to offer as much detail as I can about the dilemma at hand.
Scenario: Home network has been recently set up for wireless internet access via NEW Airport Extreme Base Station (purchased September 2011). Units accessing the network include: 2011 Macbook Pro, 2011 Macbook Air, 2007 Macbook, 2009 Macbook Pro, 2 iPhone 3GSs, and a 1st-gen iPad (and a partridge in a pear tree AEBS is configured to run WPA2 encrypted network, as well as a WPA2 guest network. I am attempting to yoke a BROTHER HL5370DW wireless B or G/ ethernet / usb-capable printer to the main network such that any and all units can print wirelessly or its equivalent (i.e., via printer hooked to AEBS through USB hub)
Problem: Despite configuring the Brother printer to recognize the main WPA2 network I created, I am unable to get wireless printing to work. My workaround was to physically connect Brother printer to AEBS via USB, specifically using a Belkin USB hub (after all, I wanted access to usb drives, as well as the printer). This workaround works ONLY SOME OF THE TIME. Generally, after a fresh boot of any computer or after a restart of the AEBS, any given computer will be able to print (i.e., any computer wirelessly connected to the main WPA2 network recognizes the printer). HOWEVER, at random times, printer access is gone (as is access to USB drives connected to AEBS's usb hub). Wireless networks are still up and running when that happens. IS THERE A WAY TO GET THE USB HUB's devices (i.e., printer and usb drives) to ALWAYS REMAIN AVAILABLE AS LONG AS THEY STAY CONNECTED TO THE AEBS? In other words, what accounts for the intermittent loss of the usb peripherals?
Sometimes, I just shut the airport off on whatever computer is having this problem, and the problem goes away. Sometimes, the problem is present across all computers in the house, sometimes only a few are affected. I can ALWAYS see the AEBS in the Airport Utility if the AEBS is connected to the particular computer via ETHERNET CABLE.
My theories:
- true wireless printing (i.e., without usb hub workaround) doesn't work because the N network somehow isn't backwards compatible with the Brother printer, which, i believe, is B/G. Although...isn't Wireless N networking supposed to work with BG devices? I did find a thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2570774?start=0&tstart=0 ) that explains some of the particulars of WPA2 encryption and Wireless B/G issues, but it was beyond my level of comprehension (I'm a psychologist, but not an Apple Genius
- The usb workaround is only intermittently viable because of some flaw in the Airport or Airport Utility that causes dropouts to happen when a Macbook Pro or Air's lid gets closed or one gets opened after having been at a different network (e.g., at my office).
QUESTIONS:
- Should I try to use my old router (7 year old Linksys WRT54G) as an access point and connect the Brother printer to that G-router? How do I do that?
- I wouldn't mind just relying on the usb hub method if I could just insure more consistency (i.e., no random dropouts of peripherals). How could I do this?
Rule out:
- wireless printing works on my printer - it was being recognized back before the AEBS. I had the Linksys router running a WEP network and had the wireless printer talking with no cables to the router and the computers. (I just don't want to revert to using WEP encryption given its lack of security and my trying to protect HiPAA related health information on behalf of patients)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!13 ASCII characters = 104 (aka 128)-bit WEP
encryption
If turning off WEP works, then you just need to
provide the cameras with the "Equivalent Network Password".
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual
standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit
WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier, vendors use certain
algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords
(or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use
of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than
lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different
vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX
key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be
hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice
versa.
You may find the following article helpful:
- Apple article, especially the part about
"Third-party client to Airport".
Brilliant idea about trying the system with No encryption on... that DID solve the problem... almost.. once I turned off the encryption option, and restarted the Airport, I got a dialog box showing that the "Base station needs attention" but it didn't indicate WHAT kind of "assistance" it needed. Nonetheless, I closed out of the Airport program only to find that the indicator light, which had been Green, was now, flashing Yellow and I could not connect anything, including my computer. I opened the Airport program again and found the ONLY way I could get the Green light on was to select some sort of encryption option... then the light would go Green again but my cameras would not hook up again, and when I went back in and ONLY changed the option to NO encryption, I got the yellow flashing light and the "this base unit needs attention" warning...
I think your suggestions are almost on the mark... is there any way of reconciling the WEP coding between the cameras and the Airport??? Or turning off the encryption option and STILL have Airport work?
Thanks again for your help and suggestions... I really appreciate it.

Remote Desktop and Brother MFC-6490CW not working
I have installed a Brother MFC-6490CW on my iMac 20" Intel with Leopard 10.5.6 and have had no problems getting to work using local mac programs printing through the USB cable.
I cannot get it to work correctly when I log into my Windows 2003 Terminal Server and print to the local Brother printer.
Originally, I had not installed the driver on the server and the connection would use the standard Apple LaserWriter 8500 driver. This was fine for as long as you only wanted black & white 8.5x11.
I then installed the driver only on the server and was asked more questions than usual. I had to pick out whether it was a USB or ethernet printer off of the server. Since it is neither, I just selected LPT1 and hoped the remote desktop would ignore it and sent it to the virtual port.
It does send get sent back to the Mac, but I get the error 'client-error-not-psossible' from the Mac printer spooler.
Brother support was useless, they said it must be a Microsoft problem. It is amazing that these little disposable $100 printers work fine, but the expensive networkable Brother printer won't. I suspect it is only a configuration problem on the server, but do not know what to do.
Thanks for the time......Mac Skoog –
I have a few questions for you on this –
- Is the printer and Server in the same location.
- Can I assume that the printer is currently connected to the Mac.
Here are some things to consider –
When connecting to a Windows system via RDP windows will attempt to connect to the default printer of the computer (Host System) running the Remote Desktop Client. This only works if the connecting system (Windows 2003 server) has the same drive loaded/available as the host system. I have seen issues with RDP not playing well with USB printers or rather USB printers with ‘special’ drivers.
If the systems are together might I suggest that you connect the printer to the server directly via the network –
http://www.fullerton.edu/it/services/Networks/faq/PDF/network_printer.pdf
Once you do this then you won’t need to connect to the printer connected to the Mac.

Just upgraded to 8.1.2 and Brother scanner not recognized
I've been using Acrobat Pro v. 6.0.6 with the Brother scanner just fine... update to 8.1.2 and it is not available to select as an Input Device from the Acrobat Scan window. I went back to try the previous version of Acrobat ( I still have v. 6 on my machine) and it still sees the Brother scanner as it has all along.
I'm on an Intel iMac running 10.4.10.
Let me know if you need any further info.
Thanks for any assistance,
ScottIt didn't for me. I have the Brother MFC 7820N with the latest driver which used to work fine with Acrobat 8.1.1 but now when I scan it just freezes after asking for the file to save to. I have to Force Quit Acrobat to get out of it.
Photoshop CS3 and other applications have no problems with the scanner.
