  • Why can my iPad no longer find my wireless printer?

    Why can my iPad no longer find my wireless printer? Anyone know? It is an HP Photosmart 5510 printer. I had no problem a couple of weeks ago when I first got the printer. Very annoying! Many thanks jonni

    Jonni-
    Did you make any changes to your system, like a new Wifi router?  Some are not compatible with AirPrint.
    One possibility is that you have a print job stuck in the print queue.  Double click your Home button, and a row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen.  Scroll across and look for the Print Center.  If it is there, you should be able to delete any stuck print job.

  • Can my iPad 4 be connected to my Kodak 5250 printer?

    Can my iPad 4 be linked to my Kodak 5250 printer and if so can you assist in helping me to link the two.

    You have a few options
    First look on Kodak's site. They have partnered with google docs to offer some options, such as being able to send the document to a computer hardwired to the printer. And I think some models support you sending the document directly to them, but I'm not sure on that part (it required a google docs account and since I didn't want another online account I didn't dig too deeply into it.
    Also you can look into third party apps. I have print n share and it works just fine with my 7250. There is also printopia and print central and i'm sure there are others.

  • Can you connect your iPad 2 to a non-wireless printer? can you buy a USB for it?

  • I was on a trip and downloaded some tunes on my notebook.  i then wanted to sync them to my Imac at home, but can nnot find a cable hook up ..nor can i seem to do it through the wireless network...how can I sync from the notebook itunes with the imac at h

    I was on a trip and I downloaded some tunes on my notebook. 
    At home now, and I am trying to sync the notebook itunes new songs to my Imac, so I do not have to open both computers in the 'shared library' section every time I want to hear a song that I bought last week on the notebook.  I simply want to dump my new tunes on my imac and play them from there.  Is there a cable I am missing, how do I connect both computers?
    I can not imagine a world where I can buy the music on the notebook, but I can not transfer it on my Imac???!!!
    Suggestions please!
    Thanks everyone,
    Adie Elliott

    There are several ways. iCloud is partially live, at least in the US, so if you are in the US and have the latest version of iTunes on your home computer, start up iTunes, click on the Store button in the list on the left side of the screen, and on the right side of the iTunes store screen look for Purchased (there will be an orange New! tag next to it). You can (re)download any songs you've bought from your account on any authorized device you own. IOW, buy with your iPad, download later with your iMac if you don't feel like syncing with your iPad.
    If you have a wireless network at home you can using filesharing to connect the two computers and copy the songs from the notebook to the desktop. My wife has a corporate DropBox account and she just copies her new songs into the DropBox and grabs them when she's at home. I have a history of forgetting that I've downloaded songs on my notebook or at work so I always immediately copy them to my flash drive. So there you go - lots of ways to do what you want.

  • How to get internet on your ipad without having to hook up a ub cord to your computer

    How do you get internet access on your ipad without having to hook up your ub cord to the computer

    iPad is a WiFi and/or 3G device.
    In order to use it as the wireless device it was intended, the easiest methods are either buy a WiFi router and if your computer is lacking any type of WiFi capability, you hook up your Internet connection directly to the router, then another wired Ethernet connection to your computer.
    You'll need to configure the router via the supplied software for your computer or supplied instructions.
    Once the router is set up, you should be able to turn on the wifi connection in the Settings app on your iPad.
    Your iPad should see the new wifi signal. Follow any instructions that follow to allow you to connect to the WiFi signal and you should be good to go to be able to use the internet and check your email wirelessly on your iPad.
    If you computer has WiFi capability already, instead of purchasing a router, you can purchase an Apple Airport Express. Plug it in to the wall, hook your internet connection to this. Install the Airport Express software to your computer. Configure the AE and your computer to pick up the AE Wifi signals via both the AE software and network software on your computer.
    This way both your computer and iPad can share the wifi signal from the Airport Express.
    If you own a Mac, there is a an easy procedure for setting up and using an Airport Express with both iPad and Mac.

  • HT4199 My macbook pro and ipad does not recognize my printer on my wireless network, but my pc does. How can I get my apple products to see it on the network so I can print wirelessly?     My printer is a Brother MFC-J270W

    try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
    One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

  • Can i print from iPad wireless to my printer w/o getting an Air printer?

    I have a router that can print from my PC or from my Lenovo laptop wirelessly to a Canon printer that is wired to the router via an ethernet cable. is there some way to get the iPad to see the printer without having to buy on of those Air Printers? i bought Print Central but that is cumbersome as i have to be using Print Central to have it print something. i can't just have an email open and be able to print. i just want to be able to print anything that is on the iPad screen.
    Thanks

    It's possible to use free software (Virtualbox and Ubuntu) to fix the broken iOS 5 Airprint printing with non supported printers.  Here's a fix that works on my imac, but should also work on even a windows pc.
    My setup is a lion imac with 2 non-airprint supported usb printers attached, a belkin wifi router that provides network connectivity for my imac, ipad, and iphone.
    Install ubuntu 11.10 in a virtualbox vm.  Specify to use the "Bridged Adapter" with "en1: WiFi (AirPort)" for the network hardware.  Make sure the imac's usb printers are setup with sharing.  On ubuntu, select System Settings > Printers and add your imac's shared printers to the list.  Then start ubuntu's firefox and set "localhost:631" in the address. On the administration tab, under the Server section, check "Share printers connected to this system" and hit Change Settings button to activate it.  Go back to ubuntu's printer setup, and right click on each printer and check that the properties Policies tab does not have any messages about it being unshared. If so, then go back to firefox and make sure the Server sharing checkbox is enabled. It may help to reboot.
    Fire up virtualbox to be able to use AirPort printing to your imac's usb printers, when you want to print from the iphone or ipad. This also works on iOS 5.
    Only problem is error message from iphone to check the printer for errors, even though it actually prints ok.

  • I cannot get my IPad air to connect to wireless in home. Two other iPad 2's connect as well as laptops. I have already exchanged one iPad air and none want to connect. Husband has taken iPad air to the apple store, connects here but not here. Who can help

    Can someone please help???  I received am IPad air in November for my birthday and have not been able to use yet,  I could not get it to connect so I returned it for another iPad air. And cannot get it to connect to wireless either. I have three other iPad 2's and laptops in home and everything connects with no problem. What is the deal with these iPad airs? My husband took the iPad to Apple store, it works there but didn't change anything so it won't work at home. Do I need to step down to old IPad since that's all that will connect in home.  This is crazy,!!! How can I get my IPad air working in my home.???

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • Can you add items to your iPad from your iTunes library through home sharing?

    Sorry I'm a novice to this.
    Say I have a video in my iTunes library and I would like to add it to my iPad so I can watch it when I'm not at home without hooking the iPad up to my PC and syncing.
    Can I do this through home sharing?
    Thanks

    Sorry, I miss-typed in my previous post. I meant to say you can't use homesharing to transfer content. (dictation got it wrong, but I should have checked). In order to transfer content from your iTunes library to your iPad, you would need to connect it to your computer via USB or Wi-Fi if you have Wi-Fi syncing enabled.
    To enable Wi-Fi syncing you must first connect your iPad to your computer with the USB cable and then turn Wi-Fi syncing on in the settings within iTunes.
