A printer that I have connected to my iMac via usb in not showing up in printer options on my iPhone or iPad and it use to before I upgraded to 8.1
A printer that I have connected to my iMac via usb in not showing up in printer options on my iPhone or iPad and it use to before I upgraded to 8.1. How can I fix this?
Is it an Airprint-compatible printer, and is its WiFi enabled if it is? (see: About AirPrint)
If it isn't an Airprint supported printer, then you need a 3rd party driver on your iMac to print from an iPhone. Such as Printopia. As it worked in the past you probably have such a printer driver installed; check and see if it's running.
Beyond that try restarting the printer, restarting the phone, restarting your router, and restarting your computer.

How do I set up my iPhone 4s to sync automatically to iTunes when connected to my iMac via USB?
How do I set up my iPhone 4s to sync automatically to iTunes when connected to my iMac via USB? Currently it only syncs when I manually click on sync.
Somehow I do have my 5th gen. iPod set up to sync automatically with the same iTunes / computer. But I do not actually see a checkbox for either device.
(yes, the 'prevent devices from automatically syncing' is unchecked)
thank you!Turn off mobile data?
Talk to your carrier about the usage increase.

Can I print wirelessly using my iPhone to a printer that I have connected to a time capsule?
I have a printer connected via USB port on the time capsule, and I have the printer shared throughout the network. The printer is not an ePrint model. Since the printer is in my network, can I use my iphone or ipad to print documents?
If you have a Mac running on the network, try Printopia.
There is a free trial, so you will know if will work before you buy. There are other apps that can do this as well, but I cannot offer a specific recommendation.

IPAD connected via USB does not show in Windows
PC Specs : HP ProBook Windows 7 Professional 64 SP1 32 bit 4GB RAM 320GB HDD, Kaspersky ES 10.
I have a client with an iPhone which he connects to his laptop via the iPhone USB cable. He used to copy pictures from the device onto his laptop. Today that does not want to work any more for some reason. If he connects it, it simply does not even detect in
Windows. It doesn't even charge ! Before Windows, in the BIOS , there it charges. In Windows, in the device manager it does not even show anywhere. Also, it does make a one-time-connected-system-sound, when it is plugged in but that's all. In device manager,
there is no alert, no exclamation or error.
What was tried so far :
1.) Disabling anti-virus.
2.) Removing Upper Filter in HKLM/S/CCS/C/Class/[ID] for USB devices of Kaspersky driver association.
3.) Testing the iPad and the USB cable on other machines : Cable works fine.
What I still need to try :
1.) Installing Apple Mobile Device Drivers
What I do not want to do :
1.) Re-install Windows
2.) System Restore (restore points are very old, so unit will use many settings and programs if I do a restore).
What else might I try to get this working ?Thanks for the responses !
@Milos Puchta :
No things I can see regarding the issue in the Event Logs. Updates were installed on the 15/08/2014... Maybe you can tell me which ones were problematic so I can see if they are installed (There are a lot). Maybe one of them was the culprit with other people
... a known update that was known to cause this
@SenneVL :
The USB are working perfectly. I tested my own USB drive, a USB hard drive, mouse etc and they work wonderful without issues. I must note that some or all of them also have the Upper filter installed. I installed ITunes (which comes with Apple Mobile Device
Driver) and confirmed the service is running. I will post on the Apple Forums too... when I do get time.
I checked with a resource monitor. If I connect the iPhone via USB, it throws out this (amongst million others) :

My phone wont connect to my imac via usb
I have a 2010 imac & an iphone 5s. When I connect my phone to my computer via usb, nothing happens. If I use the same cable with a wall charger, phone charges as normal. If I connect to my work mac, phone will charge and sync as normal (but being work, I don't back up to their machines). I've tried all 4 usb ports on my computer, same null result. USB works normally for everything else, including charging & syncing an old ipod. If I use a non-Apple approved cheapo cable, it simply tells me that the cable will be unreliable, but still will not sync or charge over this unreliable cable. Cheapo cable works fine at work & with wall charger. PRAM was reset as normal Apple SOP. Suggestions?
Yup...everything is up-to-date, still nothing. It's weird because every component works normally in every other situation. I only have the 2 usb/thunderbolt cable, but they don't exhibit an error in any other situation.

My iPod will not connect to the iMac via USB.
I can no longer charge nor sync my ipod because it will not connect via USB. What can I do to fix this?
What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

I have an HP Laserjet 5m monochrome printer that I have used for years with our three Mac computers
HP Laserjet 5m monochrome printer C3917A (1997)
Operating system: OSX 10.7.4
Error message: Printer busy
No known changes made to system or configuration
I have an HP Laserjet 5m monochrome printer that I have used for years with our three Mac computers (two on OS X Lion and one on Leopard). I'm using ethernet to connect to a router and then my computer (although I have also tried to connect directly to no avail.) We went away for 2 weeks, returned and got “Printer busy” for all 3 computers. I reset the printer to factory settings. Same problem. By the way, the printer says READY. I then went to System prefs and clicked ‘–‘ in the Print & Scan section to remove the printer. When I tried to add back the printer, nothing shows up. I now remember that this may be because the means of communicating with the printer has now changed and that I had found the printer by somehow adding its address settings (or something). Can anyone help me to reconnect with the printer?
This question was solved.

Reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

printing to a non-airprinter from an iPad
To print from the iPad, your going to have to install some more software:
-- install a printer app on the ipad. many printer makers have iPad applications for their printers. Look in the app store
-- install enabling software on a computer which you have connected the printer
For a comprehensive list of links, see Texas Mac Man list:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21291967#21291967
There are iPad Print Applications supplied by printer manufactures -- usually free. Check for your prineter.
Helper app -- /print n share
Print directly to the widest range of network or WiFi printers available in any app. Alternatively print via your computer to ALL printers including USB & Bluetooth printers. View read and display large PDF, Office & iWork files. Easily transfer & store files from the Cloud or your computer.

I have an HP 4500 printer connected to airport extreme with usb. All our portable notebooks print via air but cannot get iPad to be recognized for printing. Do I really have to have one of the other HPs listed?
Rufus Cat-
Even if it was compatible, AirPrint does not work through a USB link, only Ethernet or WiFi.
I do not see your HP 4500 listed on Apple's list of AirPrint compatible printers. <iOS: AirPrint 101> Therefore you need to take another approach. To start, I suggest you download the free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz. It has limitations, but should get you printing with your existing setup.
There are other printing Apps with more features such as Print n Share and PrintCentral, but they can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option.
Your best option may be to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi. Programs that are reported to do that well are Printopia and FingerPrint. Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print. <Printopia for Macintosh> <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

I have 3 iPhones, one iPad and 2 PC's, all using the same iTunes account. I want to be able to have each iPhone keep their own list of accounts and music list and the I pad different as well. I want to 2 PC's music list to match. How do I do this?
Additionally, when I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed the contacts from #3 and replaced it with contacts from iPhone #2. How do I get those contacts back and prevent this from happening again?Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

i have connected to the wi-fi with my ipod touch but it wotn let me browse safari,app store and itunes
Sounds like it might be something more to do with your network rarther that the iPod its self.
Try reseting the iPod networking connections by going to:
Settings > Genreal > Reset > Reset Network Settings
After this you will need to re-join your wireless network agian
If this doesent work you could try reseting your wireless router/modem

Ok, tried message boards everywhere to try and figure this out before having to post a question. Have a 21.5" iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After updates no wireless capability for ipad or laptop, imac connects fine but nothing else. No dashboard widgets work, Skype won't work. What goes?
Your post is pretty lengthy and I have to admit I didn't read it all. Please try restarting in Safe Mode, if that doesn't work please do both a SMC and PRAM reset. These may take 2-3 attempts.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -

I currently use an iPhone, an iPad, and a Mac computer for business. The three devices have Contacts Managers that sync with each other through both Google and through Mobile Me. Currently, this has created a mess of duplicate contacts. Please advise me on the steps necessary for removing these duplicates and establishing a syncing solution that doesn't regenerate the duplicates. There are several applications available that remove duplicates, but I am not sure which ones work or don't work. I want information on this, but most importantly I want to understand how to fix this problem permanently. Also, I read somewhere that Mac's new operating system, Lion, can help deal with duplicates. I don't have Lion, but I would be willing to get it, if this would fix the problem.
Had the same problem with 4 devices (two computers, an iPhone and an iPod). The solution is simple: open the Address Book application in your mac, ask it to locate duplicate entries (under one of the top menu items, "edit" I think), and then ask it to consolidate them: it took me all of three seconds after I figured it out: worked like a charm! PS: if you have more than one mac with unconected Address Books, repeating the operation in the second one may be a good idea.

Hi. I have set up the trial versions of Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5.6 (ie the Photography plan) on a desktop that I have added a new drive to with Windows 7. Everything works fine BUT it is an old computer and I'm thinking that it may pack up unexpectedly. These things happen. I want to sign up for the Photography plan but I also have a Windows Vista laptop, and that is old too so I may want to put the apps on a new desktop and a new laptop, having already installed on my desktop. That makes three activations. Am I allowed to do this? Cheers. Paul
You cannot have three activations. It's simply not technically possible. If and when the time comes, you simply deactivate/ sign out on one of the old systems and install on the new one. If the system goes belly up, you contact support to reset your account. No need to make it more complicated than that and overthink it.
