Airport print problem - have to turn it off and on at mains to get working!

Dudes,
I have a wireless setup here that goes something like this:
MacBook > Airport Express (AX) > Stereo + Samsung laser printer
Pretty straightforward. However, I keep having to turn my AX off and on to get it to print. When I send something (anything) to the printer, it gets stuck after only a small percentage of the job has been processed. This percentages changes every time. Turning the whole kit off and on again at the mains fixes the problem - at least until the next time I want to print (which is often a while later).
Can anybody help? It's driving me nuts.
Thanks!
JC

Haven't had any responses to the question above yet - can anyone out there help at all?
Many thanks
JC

  • My 8500a pro won't print even though it says printing. i have to turn it off and then on again.

    I have to turn it off and on again to get it to print.

    Try upgrading the product firmware following the below steps:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-89897-4&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
    Apart from that, if you are using Wifi connection, try selecting IPv4 connectivity.
    To do that, you can go to the printer ip address from your PC browser (http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx)
    Select the Network tab> Network Protocols> Enable IPv4 Only.
    Some times, the network environment is contributes to unstability. Above mode at times does help resolve this issue.

    Hi,
    Have you tried a Reset...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
    Release the Buttons...

  • Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please.

    Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please. I've already tried a lot of your suggested fixes, but without success. Why hasn't Apple Fixed this?

    Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 2
    Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
    Step 4
    Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter  tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
              Wake for Wi-Fi network access
    if it's checked.
    Step 5
    Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
    Step 6
    In the Wi-Fi settings, select
              Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local
    Click OK and then Apply.
    Step 7
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 8
    Reset the PRAM.
    Step 9
    Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    Step 10
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • Is anyone having issues syncing the iPhone wifi hot spot to iPad, Mac, Etc..?  I constantly have to turn it off and back on to get them to connect.  I with it was a little more seamless... Thoughts?

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

    Try chatting with an Adobe Support Specialist:

    This may take awhile: you may find yourself chatting (via typing) with someone from India, but they are good at solving these kind of problems.
    Good luck!

  • TS2972 why do I have to turn sharing off and back on each time i use my apple tv?

    Whenever I switch to apple tv and try to access my files, I get the instruction to turn sharing on. When I check, the sharing is already on. I have to turn it off and then turn it back on for the apple tv to detect it.

    There is somewhere on here a thread where some folks have done some in depth technical digging into the problem.
    It seems that in those cases there are multiple 100+ TCP ports being held open between itunes/mac and the atv. I see this x3 with all my atv's when they were connected via ethernet cable. Home sharing is running out of ports to use in simple terms.
    What on earth port forwarding can do for the problem i do not know, you can only forward to 1 device, how would this fix the probelm for subsequent atv's on the network?? It would be madness to do this anyway why would you open a secure port to the internet just to get a media player working
    There are so many reports of this problem manifesting itself in various ways it is hard to give a simple answer
    Some of the solutions just do not make any sense, solutions that work for some are opposite for others wifi <-> ethernet <-> wifi
    I am convinced this is an internal networking issue at a base level, nothing to do with IP6,DHCP/Static/PortForwarding etc. Sleeping atv's may exagerate the problem
    It will end up being a . or a , in the complied code somewhere in the last update of either itunes or ios
    Someone on that thread has written some slick code to check for this problem and restart itunes if it finds it which may be a solution if it cant be solved other ways
    My problem went away when I moved my atvs to wifi connection only, but then I know my network is otherwise good

    I've been having an issue with assistive touch, every time I open an app. the AT disappears the from the screen and I have to turn it off and ON again. Is there a way to fix this?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I have my contacts synced with icloud and exchange. I want all of them to be synced via icloud, I have tried turning contacts off and then clicking merge but that doesn't copy all of them over. How do I transfer all contacts onto my phone and then icloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.

  • Have to turn phone off and on to get Comcast email

    I can't get my Comcast email to "fetch" without turning my phone off and then on again. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?
    I have followed apple's and comcast's instructions carefully in setting it up on my iPhone so don't know what the problem is...
    Thanks!

    Same problem Willow. Fetch doesn't work for more than an hour on any of my POP accounts. It appears to be a problem with the software.
    This is completely whacked, but here is what I did and it turned all my POP accounts into Push, so I get email immediately.
    I have Comcast for my wife, and still am trying to get my friends and customers to migrate to my Verizon account. I also have a company email which is Exchange, but I currently only use POP here. I have a free gmail account (it's not push), and a Mobile me account.
    I set up Verizon and Comcast to forward to my Mobile Me account (60 day trial). No joy here, simply wouldn't work reliably if at all.
    So after spending several hours today of trial and error I found that by forwarding Verizon and Comcast to my Gmail account and then from there forwarding to my Mobile me account using my company's server for the outgoing mail, mail from all accounts except that from my company's server arrive immediately.
    I have instructed my customers to use the Verizon or Comcast account as my preference, so it's not critical to have that account pushed. My company's server is Exchange, so I could at some point convert that on my phone and that email would be pushed as well. I have Gmail set up to enable POP and IMAP. When messages are accessed with POP...keep Gmail's copy in the inbox. When forwarding to Mobile Me, it's set up to delete Gmail's copy so I don't get duplicates
    A caveat for me and anyone else who might try this with Verizon (not for you if you use Comcast). Verizon does not keep local copies of messages that have been forwarded. If the message coming into my Verizon account is critical, I have to forward it back to myself from Mobile Me where it ends up now, to have a local copy on my Mac at home. Comcast does allow a local copy so when I'm home I get 2 copies of the same message using Apple Mail.
    This is all pretty whacky, but until Apple gets the next software iteration out it works for me.
    I'll keep you all posted, but for now it's working fine.

  • How can I mantain my calendar in my iphone 5 sincronice all the time with icloud. every time that i charge it I have to turn it off and fusionate with icloud

    How can I maintain my calendar in my iphone 5. Because all the times that I charge it the calendar is in blank and I have to turn it off in the Ajustes and I have to turn it on again and fusionate wiht icloud, but to do this all the time...... really???
    Do you know what do I have to do, all is in the correct IOS and is new, but I don't know what to do.
    Thank You

    Well, two thoughts.
    The battery has completely discharged and will take overnight to recharge, so don't expect much in an hour.
    The battery has deep discharged and is now dead. It will never recharge and should be replaced.

    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.
    The flat fee for a battery exchange is, I believe, $99.00 USD.

  • My Ipad 2 (after the latest update) now runs out of battery every day....and I am not on it very much. I have tried turning it off and on again...no better.

    recalibrate the battery, let the device run out of battery to where it shuts off and then fully charge it without using it.

    Hi ,
    thx for the feedback,to clarify my question :
    1-i am able to connect to any wifi network in airports, public places , my home , office , etc.o to get in is no problem.
    2-I can also log in into a specific website eg: was in Paris 2 days ago and could log in into the portal of a wifi provider.
    3-But when i have to log in providing an e-mail address or other info , i get into a loop where i can not get into the next page but i do get always redirected to the page asking all the info.
    This is not only at an airport , i do have it also with my own internet service provider , even if i want to log in from my home into their webmail site i get into this loop where after putting in all the inlog data i get that same page back every time.( i can get mail through my normal mailbox , no problems here)
