Can't connect computers to printer (b210) via network because there are "other networks"
I can't connect computers to printer (b210) via network because there are "other networks matching your network name". This makes no sense at all. I have several Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, iMac) all with the latest software. The printer works fine when using the USB connection to my iMac. Nothing I do seems to solve this problem (rebooting, re-configuring, etc.). Help.
Hi Cgold,
If there are other networks matching your network name, then the printer will have issues connecting when you run the wireless setup wizard.
However, there are other options:
If your router supports 'Wi-Fi Protected Setup' with either a button to push on the router, or a pin to enter, you can choose that connection option under the wireless menu on your printer.
or
Change the network name that your router is broadcasting within the web page of your router (NOTE-this would force you to re-join all wireless devices back to the new network name you have created).
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
Although I work for HP, my posts and replies are my own opinion and not those of HP.

Can't Connect Photosmart 7510 Printer to Wireless Network
This printer isn't new, but it's new for me (my mother gave it to me). However, I'm trying to set it up, and I can't get it to connect to a wireless network. When I go into the Wireless Network Setup on the printer, no networks are listed (even though several should be listed, mainly our home network). I tried entering the network information (name & password) manually, and it still didn't work. I've downloaded drivers and all, but I can't complete anything because while the printer is powered on, it's offline. I don't know if the drivers just don't work because I upgraded to Yosemite within the past few weeks (and the drivers are for the OS prior to that one), or what. I can't even begin printing because I'm dealing with this nonsense...
Did everything you said to do, and still had the same issue. The Wireless Network Test results say the following: WirelessWireless Working - FAILSignal Quality - Not Run ConnectivityConnected - Not RunDisconnect count total - 0Disconnect count (last hour) - 0Disconnect count (last 24 hours) - 0 NetworkNetwork Name (SSID) Found - Not RunOther networks detected matching your network name (SSID) - NoWireless Networks Detected - 0 SettingsPrinter Settings Consistent with Wireless Router Settings - Not RunNo Filtering - Not RunChannel - Not RunSecurity - Not Run

Can we connect IPad to Apple TV via bluetooth? How
Can you be a bit more specific about what you're trying to do.
You must have a black AppleTV 2 or 3. AppleTV 1 doesn't support this.
iPad 1 doesn't support mirroring only Airplay from apps. iPad 2/3 does support mirroring.
Mirroring is enabled by clicking iPad home button wtice scrolling to leftmost screen, enabling Airplay and then the mirroring slider underneath. -
HT5299 can i connect my sony smart TV via thunderbolt port for better resolution.
can i connect my sony smart TV via thunderbolt port for better resolution.
You can connect the TV via the Thunderbolt port. However if the result is "better resolution" would depend on what resolution you have now (I'm guessing you mean with the HDMI adapter?)
I'm myself connecting the Mini Mac with a Thunderbolt->VGA adapter to my TV and get full 1920x1080 resolution.
Have you checked your Display settings? Make sure mirroring is off, then check what resolutions you can get on the current connection.
Please return with some more data. -
My ipad can't connect to air printer?
my ipad can't connect to air printer?
Restart your router. Unplug it and let it reset.
While you do that you might as well power down the printer and restart the iPad / iPhone as well.
Power everything back up, and AirPrint should be restored. -
I have a MacBook Pro. My mac can detect wifi. But will not connect anywhere. I did get connected via TCP/IP settings but I can't connect to any wifi anywhere. Network diagnostic has a green light for wi-fi and wi-fi settings. Red light for the rest. (Network settings, ISP, Internet and server.)
Hello NotAppleSavy,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Can I connect two apple tv on same network and same apple ID at a time ?
Welcome to the Discussion Forums.
Yes you can do all that without needing to keep plugging things in and out. You will still need to manually turn on the receiver and turn down the volume from the tv though. -

Can't Connect AirPort Express to existing WPA network
I just bought an AirPort Express and I can't connect it to my existing Wireless network where I use WPA based security.
I've both tried to use the Configuration guide and done it manually with the Admin tool but it just will not connect to my Wireless network.
Less of changing form WPA-PSk to WEP128 I think I have tried "everything".
Any ideas?Can you changed your router to use WPA:TKIP as opposed to WPA:AES?
When I changed my router to WPA:TKIP, my airport express connected, but with AES it doesn't!
This is not good, since according to Wikipedia, AES is superior and considered part of WPA2, which Apple claim they support (and yes I am using firmware V6.3)!
Hope this helps! -
After years of no problems I sddenly can't print photos. When I select print I get the message "There are no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable. What are themes? How do I install them? Why has this problem suddenly arisen?
Re-installing does not affect your Library in any way. You don't delete it, only the app.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Can I connect a Macbook to a wireless network for PCs?
I would like to purchase a Macbook but I would like to figure out the extra costs before buying. I currently have a Dell Inspiron 600m notebook that connects to the linksys network in our house, can I connect a Macbook to the same network or is there another package I need to buy?
The other users may know more about this than I and dispute with me, but I can tell you from personal experience that sometimes there are problems. At this very moment, for example, I am at a buddy's house who has a wireless router hooked to his pc and my apple FIRST displayed one internet page and then flaked out on me. SECOND showed an airport signal but could not connect to any sites. THIRD showed no airport signal at all.
The solution is to plug directly to the router with an ethernet cable and it always works.
The other solution is to unplug the router for 30 seconds to reset it everytime you switch between a pc and a mac. The cable company gave me this handy solution which they claim is a constant necessity. BUT I have found it is in fact rarely needed at home where both pc and macs are running. But still sometimes I have to do it.
So if there is some pattern to all of this I cannot find it. But there is no "extra" hardware required, just some occasional software failures. -
new itouch user here, We had a wireless connection with a password all set up but we couldn't remember the password meanwhile there are other connections around us but locked. So i decided to make a new one yet it still will not allow to go on safari after i type in the password PLEASE HELP ive turned on and off etc
My guess is that the security settings on your router and iPod do not match.
For a test, change your router so there is no security. See if you can connect and get to the Internet. If that works, set up the router with security and use the same settings for the iPod. -
Hi,
I have been using Windows server 2012 at my company and generally take a remote access to this server. However, since last few days, I have been receiving the Error "The remote connection was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop License
Servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator".
My entire work has come to a halt because of this error as all my applications are running this server and their remote access is needed for my regular requirements.
I had tried one of the solutions proposed at one of these forums especially using gpedit.msc but to no avail.
Regards,
AdityaHi Aditya,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Agree with the words of armin, please verify that you have properly installed correctly. Verify RDS Licensing service running on License Server. Verify that the client, the RDS server, and the license server can communicate by ensuring that Domain Name System
(DNS) is configured correctly on each computer. You can run the ping command from each computer to each computer using the IP address, FQDN, and the NetBIOS name. If any of the ping commands fail, verify the DNS configuration on the network.
In addition, you can also try “GracePeriod” registry setting on this path (HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM) from
this article.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.
