Can't get HP 3050A to connect to wireless router

Hi,
I've recently switched from Comcast to AT&T and I cannot get my printer to connect to the new AT&T router. I've gone through the same steps as far as holding down the WPS button and what have you that it states to do on the printer but it just "times out" and won't connect. I had no problem connecting wirelessly when I was using Netgear router and Comcast. Now it won't connect and it's very frustrating. On top of that, I cannot find my printer install CDs. I haven't needed them before, but I have no idea what to do now. Please help. Thank you!
Darryl

Hi Darryl,
I did a little digging, and I have some bad news. I received this information from a Mac subject matter expert regarding this printer in combination with Mavericks:
The ASU driver does not include a Wi-Fi Setup option. This means, a wireless installation in Mavericks is only possible if the printer is already setup up for the network.
Unfortunately, this means that unless your printer was already set up on your current wireless network, it can't be set up on a new or different wireless network without a full feature driver. Furthermore, this printer does not have a full feature driver beyond OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion.
This might not help, but this printer can be set up on a new wireless network for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OS X v10.5 through OS X v10.8.
For Mavericks, it looks like a USB connection is the only way to print.

Can't get older mac to connect to wireless router

I have an older G4 mac, which had an Airport wireless snow type of router. I've currently upgrade to an iMac with an Airport Extreme router. I can't get the old G4 to 'see' the Airport Extreme Network, so I can use the other computer to check email and get on the internet. Do I have to load in the same Airport software on both machines? Any help will be appreciated.

On my G4, I have the software installed which I used when setting up my other wireless router, the snow M8440. Could this be the problem?
Yes. Let's take a step back. You can use any computer to configure your new Airport Extreme, but first be sure you have installed the Airport Utility program from the link I posted above. The earlier version of Airport Utility you used for your Snow Airport doesn't have the necessary features to configure your new Airport Extreme.
The only reason to keep the old Airport Utility program would be to configure your old Snow Airport Base Station, which you're not using any more. So put it aside.
Since you're having trouble getting your G4 to connect at all, it makes sense to use your new iMac to configure your new AirPort Extreme. So let's use it for now.
The ability to use the dual band feature of the new Extreme is described starting on page 20 of the following: Apple Airport Networks (early 2009). The document is very lengthy but don't let that bother you - Apple's Airport base stations are extremely versatile and the manual gets very detailed, but most of it won't concern you.
I made a wireless network named Airport Extreme on my iMac.
The way you worded this concerned me, so at the risk of sounding Presidential, "let me be clear"
Technically, you don't want to create a wireless network on your iMac - the wireless network with which you want to connect is created by your Extreme, and you use Airport Utility to make that happen.
Your Airport icons on all your computers should look like one of these:
If it looks like this:
then you have created a "computer to computer network". You don't want that.
Next: the passage of the Apple Airport Networks manual above also describes how to set up your Airport Network's wireless security...
I click on the Airport Extreme, the next window comes up with Wireless Security: WEP password. I type in my password I used to set up the Airport Extreme network, and get the following error message: There was an error joining the Airport network "Airport Extreme". ...
I advocate using no security at first, to eliminate one roadblock when first configuring a network. After everything works, set up WPA or WPA2 Personal. I'm reasonably sure your G4 supports it. The older WEP protocol is no longer considered secure - it amounts to "feel-good" security.
I trust this gets things pointed in the right direction. If you're still stuck write back and we'll get you un-stuck. Your G4 will work with your new Extreme.

Can't get e-mail to work using wireless router . . .

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to help my sister get her e-mail working. She is running a Macbook with 10.5. She is sharing an Internet connection with a PC, via a wireless router (a D-Link unit). The ethernet goes from the modem to the router, where it is hooked into the PC via cable. Her Macbook is accessing the router wirelessly via Airport.
She can surf the net perfectly fine, however, she has no e-mail functions. When she tries to send or receive e-mails, she gets error messages about ports being unable to send or receive info. If she plugs the ethernet cable directly into her laptop (instead of going wireless), e-mail works perfectly fine.
Any ideas where I can look? I played around for a couple of hours but couldn't come up with anything. I have no experience with networking, however, my hunch is that it's some sort of settings problem with the router that are preventing her e-mail from working in this setup. The bizarre thing is that everything was working fine a few days ago and then the e-mail servers went down with her ISP (neither the PC or Mac could get e-mail). When they came back up, the PC was able to run some self-diagnostic software and resolve it's e-mail issues, but the problems with the Macbook persist.
We could simply just hook everything back up to "hard" wires through a switch, but she really wants the wireless functionality.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response orangekay. As it turns out, they took back the router that they had bought and they picked up an AirPort Express station and now everything is working perfectly fine again.
Still not sure what the exact problem was but my sister is happy with how things worked out

Can't get apple tv to connect to wireless

I've tried restarting, disconnecting and reconnecting. I've tried lowering the resolution, I've tried everything. My macbook connects fine. HELP!!!!

The details that can be provided in answers are limited by the details provided. And since almost no details were provided there are not really any specifics that can be given.
Are you sure you are entering the WiFi user name and password into the WiFi interface. ATV has a lot of different types of user ID's (WiFi, Home sharing, iCloud, Photo stream, etc.) for it's differnt services.
What happens when you try to enter your user ID and password? Are you seeing your WiFi network on the list? Are you sure you are connecting to YOUR wifi network and not someone else's?

I can't get my phone to connect to wireless printer

My iPhone 4 used to print to my wireless printer just fine. Now it will not print at all. I don't know what changed or how to fix it.

Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Also try power cycling your wireles router and your printer... turn them off for 30 secs and then back on.

Hey agnesfromcopenhagen k,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Mail on your iPad. The following resource provides some troubleshooting steps. What kind of account are you using? Some internet providers require that you be connected to your home Wi-Fi (or for work accounts, inside your corporate Wi-Fi/firewall). Also, some email accounts require two-step authentication. For more information, see this resource:

Have you confirmed that the app supports AirPlay? If it doesn't, then you'll have to connect via screen mirroring. See:

Just got an iPhone and can't get iTunes Match to connect. Keep getting a message that I'm not subscribed, but already did on my pc. Any ideas?

You must be signed into the mobile iTunes Store using the same Apple ID you used to originally purchase iTunes Match. On the iOS device go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID. Log out, then log in with the correct ID.

Can't get bb curve to connect to computer, w/ new USB, downloaded desktop manager................anything I'm missing? Help! Thanks, Holly

Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you can't answer the questions, then you leave us to pretty much guess at what could be wrong. Are you sure you don't know what PC OS you are running?
Given what you are willing to do, there's not much that can be done here. You see, this is free to you, and voluntary by me (and the others who participate here). I get nothing helping you out here. This is not any part of your formal support. As such, there's nothing we can do beyond use the information you provide in order to guide us to what might be going on. But, so far, we have nothing from you at all.
But, let me continue to try again...can you tell me the steps you attempt? And the results of each step? After all, you say you "can't get bb curve to connect to computer"...so, you must have tried something. What did you try? What happened with each step along the way of what you tried?
If you can't participate in providing information, free support such as this will be pretty useless to you...fee-based support would be your next step, I'd think. If someone get's paid to help you, they might have tools available that the volunteers here don't have.

Can not get my MacPro to connect to iCloud

I can not get my MacPro to connect to iCloud. It tries periodically but returns the message "This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with [my account]@aim.com." This aim.com address is one I have not used in years. I have tried to purge all references to this address in my system but must have missed some. How do I correct this?

This aim.com address is one I have not used in years.
Is it still functional ? iCloud sends a welcome mail to this adress. Look for it.
