B110a won't connect to Macbook pro or IPAD

I've got a B110a serial number CN0CN3V63605J8, running firmware CHL1FN1113AR FW patch 0.
It's sat on a home wireless network with a DLINK router DSL-270R.
I can print to it with all my 3 PCs using drivers dowloaded from the HP website. All 3 PCs are different makes.
I am unable to print to it using either a MacBook Pro or IPAD1. I've read the support forums and tried some of the fixes but to no avail.
My Macbook is running LION, I downloaded the latest drivers on the 13th August from Apple. My IPAD is running OS4.3.3.
Neither Macbook nor IPAD "see' the printer.
I read on the HP website that the b110a is capable of printing with Macs, but with a firmware update. I can't do this from the b110a. When I go to Set up>Preferences>Product Updates, I get the following error message "There was a problem connecting to the server, press retry to connect again of OK to exit"
Any ideas. I'm thinking it's either the need for a firmware update, or that the router is masking MAC, but I don't really understand this.
Thanks

Great work, thanks!
Yes, I mean upgrade the firmware on the router. This could be the source of all of your troubles. You could even try to cycle power on your router to reboot it, then try again. But, I would really try to check its firmware.
To get into your router settings type 192.168.0.1 into a browser address window. The login is 'admin' and there is no password. See if you can find a way to update firmware from there. If it is not obvious, go to the D-link support website and hunt around.

How do i connect my macbook pro to ipad 3 to share a connection between the two devices

Can't complete facetime connection between macbook pro and iPad

Last week I had to download the latest version of facetime from the mac app store because the beta version (0.9) had expired. After I installed it on my 15" macbook pro (last model that had the removable battery) running the latest version of Snow Leopard 10.6.x, I tried to facetime with my iPad (3rd gen). It would ring, but when I would try to accept the connection, it wouldn't make the connection. I was using the same account/user id on both the iPad and the macbook pro. I added my wife's email address to the mac and selected her address and then was able to connect and I thought my problems were solved. At this time, both the macbook pro and iPad were on the same wifi network.
Fast forward a few days and I'm overseas and trying to facetime with my wife and so I attempt to connect and it rings and she accepts the incoming connection, but then it never connects and I get a message that it failed. She tries to connect to me and the same thing happens - it rings, i touch the button to accept and it says connecting and then never connects. I was able to connect with no issues when she was using her iPhone 4S when I am in London and she is at home on the same wifi network as the macbook pro is on. I had her sign out of my apple account in facetime on the macbook pro and sign in with her apple account that is associated with a completely different email address. We tried to connect and still had the same problem - rings, hit answer, connection fails.
I can also connect with my iPhone 4 to my iPad (both on the same wifi network, data roaming turned off on the phone so I know it is wifi only)
Since I can connect to my iPhone and my wife's iPhone, I'm pretty certain that the problem isn't with the wifi network on either end and it has something to do with facetime on the macbook pro. When I was googling for answers, it seems like this issue isn't an uncommon occurence, but I haven't been able to find any solutions either.

No.
they run entirely different os on entirely different hardware.

IPhone won't connect to Macbook Pro Hotspot!

Wireless Mighty Mouse won't connect with MacBook Pro in Bootcamp

I recently swapped my Bootcamp-partitioned hard drive from an older Core Duo MacBook to a late-2007 Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro. I had no problem using the wireless mouse with the MacBook. I'd click on the Windows desktop once it booted up and it worked flawlessly.
But on the newer MacBook Pro it won't stay connected. I have to pair it with the Windows Bluetooth control panel each time I log in.
I'm not sure if this is connected to the issue or not, but I'm not able to use the trackpad and buttons on the MacBook Pro keyboard either.
I've seached the discussions without any success. Advice anyone?
Thanks in advance.
Patrick

Well, by some stroke of dumb luck it finally connected. I slid the on/off switch open until the green light started to blink, when the mouse connected I opened it all the way and decided to work.

IPhone 5 won't connect to MacBook Pro

Not sure if this is the right place for this but I tried Apple's support forums and couldn't get anything useful
When I try to connect my iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1) to my MacBook Pro (mid-2012, OS X Yosemite 10.10) it will flash as connected and then disconnect immediately, and I am unable to establish a connection again.
I've tried rebooting and updating all software. The same cord connects my iPhone to my work MacBook Air with no problem, and the USB ports on my Pro work fine for other things.
Does anyone have any ideas or know how I can fix this? All my music is on my Pro and I can't get it onto my phone.

Ignore that first line.... copied this from another post

Macbook Pro Airport Won't Connect When Macbook Pro Bootcamp Will

I have a Macbook Pro 2.16GHz Core Duo that has had problems with Airport connectivity since I got it. I can never get anyone to help me with it because it will never show the problem at the Apple Store.
One place that I have to work at has been very, very frustrating.
They have a number of access points called Wireless #1, Wireless #2, and so on. Every access point is a Linksys-Cisco WAP54GP. All of them are on channel 6. They are using a WEP 40-bit hex key with the same key on every AP. They don't understand the obvious flaws in their system, they will not change it nor help me...at all, so there's no point in suggesting things along that route.
I know that their network and their key works, though, because if I reboot into Windows on the SAME machine it works fine and the connection is great. Mac OS, however, will not connect and will not tell me why. All it will say is "There was an error joining the network." I have read suggestions saying that you have to put a $ or "0x" in front of the key to signify that it is a hex key (which I don't have to use on other WEP hex key networks), but when I try to type that in, the password dialog will not allow the characters $ or "x" and it beeps at me.
Does anyone have any help for me?

It will connect to other networks with and without
WEP. It will connect to other networks that use
WPA.
There are many networks, though, that give me the
"There was an error joining the network.", and I
don't know why.
I cannot enter a $. As I stated previously, the Join
Network dialog will not allow me to enter that
character when it is set to WEP 40/128 bit hex.
Also, as I have already said, I cannot change the
network to WPA. I understand the benefits of WPA
over WEP, but I am not the network administrator.
They will NOT change their settings. I know the
network works with Windows on my computer. What is
it about Mac OS that is preventing this?
Prior to the last Security Update, I believe 2007-02, broke access to 2wire Routers. It was very frustrating to me as well. The fault or problem, I believe, may lie in a firmware update to these routers. I performed one for my 2wire router and I am now able to connect.
My theory...

I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDMI so I could watch videos from my computer on my TV. My TV then shows my basic computer background but the videos won't play. What am I doing wrong?

I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDML. The TV recognizes my computer; I see my basic computer screen on the TV. I tried to watch videos on my TV but got nothing. (tried via my facebook vidoes and Youtube. What am I doing wrong?

I've got a similar (but different!) problem: I have a MacBookPro3,1 running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I want to connect to my HD TV using a HDMI to DVI cable but the MBP cannot detect the TV display. What's the solution? Is this a bug in Mac OS X 10.6.8 ? Any ideas what I can do to make things work with the HDMI to DVI cable. (N.B.: I have separate audio cable running from the MBP to amplified speakers for the sound side of things. It’s the video that’s the problem!)

What cable do i need to connect a Macbook pro to a Cinema HD Screen in order see my laptop screen larger?

I want to connect my Macbook Pro up to a cinema HD screen so that i can use a larger screen for editing photos. I am unsure what cable i need to do this, my screen already has a cable attached but won't fit into the macbook due to the fitting (i am unsure of the name of the cable.) Also can a cinema HD screen be calibrated?

You will need either a mini-Displayport to VGA or DVI, and the corresponding VGA or DVI cable to the monitor.

Is it possible to connect a MacBook Pro (prev model 2009, 2.26ghz) to an Apple Thunderbolt display: will the cable fit?

Is it possible to connect a MacBook Pro (prev model 2009, 2.26ghz) to an Apple Thunderbolt display: will the cable fit?

Sorry it won't work. It will fit but the laptop can't communicate with it. Please see many of the other threads here, specifically this one just above your post, that is discussing this exact question.
Apple's specs for the ThunderBolt display state that it needs a ThunderBolt-enabled computer. Your laptop has a mini-display port connection so it is not compatible with the new displays.

What is the best way to connect a MacBook Pro to my HiFi system ?

Hi,
I'm new to Apple support communities having just bought my first Macbook Pro (a 17" 2.5GHz i7 model) and this is my very first community post.
Im a bit of a Hi-Fi enthusiast, so, with my new MacBook Pro I've taken the opportunity of completely reloading my iTunes library in high quality Apple Lossless format. Took a while but now I've completed the task Im pleased I've done it.
My question is, what is the best way to connect a Macbook Pro to a high quality Hi-Fi preamp - my Hi-fi system is musical Fidelity, and the pre amp (an A5 CR Pre amp) and this pre amp, which has superb audio quality, only has analogue phono inputs ?
I'm interested to understand what both the wired and wireless connection options are. I'm guessing one option must be to use the headphone output, but I have no idea if the output from the headphone socket on my new macbook (which is presumably designed to drive headphones) would be at a suitable level for a phono line level input ?
Ive also read a few comments about using digital connection - and my second question would be - what is the audio digital connection on my macbook ?
Aplogies if this question has been asked lots of times before but I've looked through some previous posts and can't find any answers in simple and straightforward language concentrating on the issue of connecting a MacBook Pro to an analogue phono pre amp input ?
Thanks in anticipation of some advice.

What is the best way to connect a MacBook Pro to my HiFi system?
Look at the back of the reciever and see what your connection options are, the front headphone jack is output usually.
The Mac's analog audio in/out ports doubles as a optical in/out ports.
The analog won't over power your amp, it's just a headphonejack, like a powered mic, just enough power to get the signal to the destination in one piece.
Since you have a analog amp, your stuck with inferior analog connections, however you mentioned you wish to listen to the best sound quality of your lossless music.
To do that your going to need a decent surround sound system with Toslink optical import jacks, a Toslink stereo jack to regular Toslink adapter, Toslink cable and enable the optical output in your System Preferences >Sound
Another method is to use a Airport Express, it also has duo analog/opical out port. Then set up the Airport Express for iTunes streaming using the Airport Utility, then in iTunes setup the lower right corner one can set the connection.
I recommned a Harmon Kardon surround sound system, with their 100 watt satelight speakers and the 200 watt subwoofer. Enable the "concert hall" and other neat effects which will turn your 2.0 (stereo) iTunes music into 4 channel speaker sound filling the room with music and sending the lower channels to the subwoofer.
It will likely bring tears to your eyes that you can actually hear the full quality of your music as intended, I almost quarranty you will never want listen to music on a crappy iPhone or iPod again.
If a surround sound system is out of your budget, you can get by using the Harmon Kardon "Go Play" portable stereo and a analog stereo cable.
If your going to use your analog amp to power reference speakers, then there are various analog adapters of all sorts to make the appropriate connections once you know what they are, check out Radio Shack online for them.
