Bonjour sees my printer but won't let me connect to it.
We've got a canon mp460 hooked up via USB to our mac mini which runs 10.5. I installed bonjour on my new laptop, which runs vista. The printer wizard SEES the printer, but when I try to connect to it I get a message that says "You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer"
I've turned off all the firewalls, enabled printer sharing, and everything else I can think of. Any thoughts?
*I got it to work after the Bonjour Printer Wizard proved ineffective.*
Here is what I did:
1. Installed the iP4500 printer driver from CD (v 2.11) while the printer was connected to my WinXP machine with a USB cable.
2. Reconnected printer to AEBS and restarted AEBS.
3. Select 'Add a new printer' in Windows
4. Select 'Local Printer' in the dialog box (auto detect and install
should be off), click next.
5. Choose 'Create a new port' and "Standard TCP/IP Port'. Click next.
6. For the printer IP address, enter the address of the base station 10.0.1.1.
*7. Set Port Number: 9103*
- The one time the Bonjour Print Wizard saw my iP4500 and set it up, it append '9103' to the location name. I assumed it selected port 9103. After trying ports 9100, 9101, and 9102 (which all failed to work), I successfully connected with port 9103. Oddly, the Bonjour port still does not work.
8. Click next.
9. For the device type, choose 'Canon iP4500 series', then click Finish.
10. Choose your printer from the list and follow the rest of the prompts to install and configure the driver.
*It now prints color duplex from my WinXP machine across the wireless network.*

My Airport is hooked up thru my Windows 7 - but won't let me connect now to my ipad or iphone
My Ipad will not connect now to my Airport express-?
This appears to be a normal cable modem. Suggest that you try the steps in this User Tip posted by forum expert Tesserax:
AirPort - Complete Power Recycle
To allow the modem to fully reset, be sure to leave it powered off at least 15-20 minutes. Longer will not hurt. I sometimes had to leave my modem powered off up to 90 minutes when I was using a different Internet Service Provider for it to completely reset.
If the AirPort still will not allow multiple devices to connect to the network, it would be a good idea to take the AirPort to an Apple Store....if you have one near you....to let them take a look. -

Vista laptop sees printer but won't connect
Vista laptop sees printers on xp server network but won't let me connect telling me "access denied" and "you do not have sufficient rights to perform this operation". What's up with this?
Yes, getting XP and Vista to share correctly is no small feat. I don't think you have a printer, printer software or driver problem. I think you have a Windows sharing problem. Have you googled for solutions in other areas? Microsoft's forums?
I was able to help someone else yesterday with this post (and some of their ingenuity as well). Maybe it will help.

I have a new PC laptop with Windows 7 and Office 2010. I have an Airport Extreme, and installed Bonjour on my laptop. Bonjour "sees" my printer. When I try to print, the printer lights up -- but doesn't print. anyone have an idea? Thanks Gregg
Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,

I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this? I had started using it for a few hours and tried getting the update and now it won't let me activate the phone. I also can't call the helpline because it won't let me leave this screen on the phone that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." What it says on iTunes after I fill out the activation info is "There was a problem activating your iPhone. Please contact Verizon Wireless at 1-800-922-0204 to have this iPhone added to your account. Click Continue to be able to explore its features and the App Store." Please help this is driving me nuts!

I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??
Can anyone advise me on what I need to do?
My existing account is linked to ireland as my bank account details are there, does this make a difference?
Please help!Until you get a UK bank account and credit card, buy and redeem UK iTunes gift cards for use in the iTunes and Mac App Stores. But you need to switch your region/country to the UK store in your account information, as you can't use UK iTunes gift cards in the Irish stores, the gift cards are country specific.

My iTunes won't let me connect my iPhone because it says I need an updated iTunes, but when I try to download the new iTunes, it says that my Mac software (10.5.8) is too old. However, there are no software updates available. What can I do?
It depends on what iPhone you have.
If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

Deauthorizing iTunes on a computer? My laptop won't let me connect my iPhone because it says I'm authorized on too many computers, but when I try to de-authorize another computer I use it won't let me. What's up?
What do you mean it won't let you? What exactly does it say? (Sorry to sound so exasperated but this is like the 6th post in a row where people have made vague statements which do little to help us find solutions without a game of 20 questions.) I'm going to guess and say you can only deauthorize a computer to which you have physical access or VPN login. The alternative is to deauthorize all which you can only do once a year.

Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?
You must be signed into the Apple Store with your Apple ID or it won't work.

I took the system file out of the system folder on os 9.2 can't boot to put file back in machine also has osx 10.2 but won't let me boot to either need os 9 compatible boot disk I think?
If the OS X 10.2 on the hard drive is/was bootable, try this -
Restart or boot, then immediately press the X key, keep it held down until you know the machine has started to boot using OS X. This is a hardware instruction to the Mac to boot using the first usable instance of OS X it finds.
Once booted to OS X, you should be able to move OS 9's System file into OS 9's System Folder.
Note - in general, unless you know for sure what you are doing and that the results are desired, do not relocate or rename files in OS 9's System Folder or in OS X's System or Library folders. -
