Cannot get PC to print through my new iMac, Please help!

I am new to the Apple operating system and computers. Just purchased a 20" iMac and I am having issues getting my laptop PCs to print. The printer is a HP Officejet 7310 All in One and is hooked up via usb to the iMac. The iMac prints no problem. I installed Bonjour on my PC and it located the printer no problem. I set it up and it is now available in my printer list. I set it as a default and try to print a test page and nothing happens. Printer sharing is turned on on the iMac and I have disabled the firewall completely on the PC. Any thoughts on what I might be missing?

Thanks for all the help!

Your Apple id password is not necessarily the same as your log-in password.
The former is what you use to log-in to Apple services and sites. The latter is what you use to login to your computer. That does not change when you change your Apple ID password. Try the original computer login password.

I cannot get the AirPlay icon on my iOS devices please help

In IOS 7, the air play button lies below the bottom of the iTunes page. You need to click along the bottom for it to come up. Air play is there! Wow! I spent so much time trying to figure out what was wrong and as usual, it was me!

Cannot get windows 7 to install on new imac

I have a new "Thunderbolt" imac. Using the boot camp assistant disk that came with it (or the downloaded one), I cannot get windows 7 successfully installed. Mostly won't start up. Long hang-ups, mouse won't work. Have used Boot Camp on older mac Pro for a long time with perfectly consistent results, but am frustrated here. I have followed instructions, made several fresh install attempts, used stock mouse and keyboard that came with imac, poor results. Boot camp appears to be v3.0 something. Wish I knew better what to ask......

Hi joehonse,
Would you please let us know current situation of this issue? Any update?
Regarding to error:
Package installation did not succeed, this issue may occur if you connect a computer to a server that is running Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials while other Windows updates or application installations are pending and the Connector installation is canceled.
àWhen
I navigate to that path, the installer is already there. I'm not sure if it should work like this, but I have tried to run that installer independently, and it will fail everytime.”
Based on your description, did you mean that you can find the installer, however, can’t run it as normal? Would
you please let me know the error message that you can get?
In addition, as Robert suggested, would you please download the installer manually and replace the existed
one. Then please run and monitor the result.
Meanwhile, please refer to the following article and check if can help you.
Windows
Server Essentials Connector has not been installed because cannot download the package

HT1694 Still getting error: "cannot get mail the connection to the server failed" please help, for ipad 1; for hotmail account

cannot get my hotmail email with an ipad, get a connection to server failed error. I have tried to delete and install the email with area on settings, did not change. This email did work in the past until today,
Thanks in advance

Due to a screen issue, I had my iPhone 5 replaced two days ago. I repeated deleted the mail account and kept adding it but this did not make any difference. When I attempted to setup the new phone with my Google (Gmail via exchange active sync) accounts I was receiving this same "Cannot Get Mail" error. From what I was able to gather, this problem should be affecting Gmail accounts set up via Exchange. When originally purchasing the phone I was assisted and directed to set up my Gmail account through Exchange because it had the ability to use "ActiveSync" and push not only mail and calendars, but all of my contacts as well. I found this article regarding the subject.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2413283,00.asp
What it came down to was having to delete my Gmail via Exchange account and separate it into two different accounts, a regular gmail account for my mail and a CardDAV account for my contacts.
Here is what I did. Google is changing their system and for new registrars Exchange ActiveSync will not work so you will be unable to register your account via Exchange and have your mail, calenders, and contacts all pushed together. I find this change really annoying. If you are having problems accessing your contacts after deleting the mail account, like I was, here is the work around.
To circumvent this issue go to Setting > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add CardDAV Account: Under server ender google.com, then your email user name and password, then click next to verify the information.
I hope this helps.

I cannot access my ipnoe due to i get a notification saying Not Enouhh Storage and i cannot get out of it or go to settings please help what can i do to fix this problem?

I cannot acces my IPhone due to i get a notification saying that i dont have enough storage and i need to back it up with ICloud but it wont let me click close or settings there for i cannot recieve calls or acces my email or text messages. I even tried turning off the power but it wont let me do anything please help !

If the iPhone won't Restart you should be able to Reset it. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
For the future (in case you don't' know), go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage, and choose your Device under the Backups list.
Under the Backup Options turn off anything you don't care about (being backed up, that is). This will let you reduce the backup size so that it fits in iCloud again. You can also delete the current backup here.
You should also check Settings > General > Usage and look at how much data each app is storing. Identify problem apps and go clean out unwanted files.

Problem with brand new Imac, please help

I was suggested that it would be best for me to post this topic here in this forum.
Hi I am new to Mac, I had just gotten my 17" imac isight last week, for the most part i am very happy with it. But last night I was having some troubles with it. I had been online and was using Firefox as my browser....I went on one website and all of a sudden my mac froze up, the cursor changed to a spinning colored pinwheel and i couldn't click out of the page at all. In the upper right hand corner of the webpage which i didn't notice when i originally went on it was a message saying "you've been owned noobie"....my only guess was that this person's page had been hacked.
I tried manually shutting down the imac, when it came back on I could not do anything. Firefox and Safari kept shutting down, and even when i tried going into System Peferences it kept closing on me. I tried shutting down at one point and the computer seemed like it was still on, the light in the lower right hand corner was going in and out. I tried starting up again and could not get onto the desktop, it was stuck on the blue screen. I tried holding the power button down in the back for a few seconds and i took the power cord out from the back for 30 seconds, after that it seemed to work fine.
I am afraid that this may happen again, right now everything seems fine....has anyone else experienced this issue or has any insight on it? Is it a hardware problem or simply a bad webpage?
I appreciate any help that you guys can give me!

I have the iPad 3 and I cannot get it to sync with my iTunes. Please help.

The only way I've gotten it to sync is by restoring it to factory. Any other time it gets stuck on the preparing to sync step and then just quits. No error message or anything. I never had this problem with the iPad 2 so i'm not sure if it is my iTunes or my iPad but I have updated the software on both to no avail.

Hi MLAbbott,
Since you are having issues with the wireless setup using the WPS feature, try connecting the printer to the network using a USB cable temporarily. We have a great article on our Knowledge Base to guide you through this process.

When I go to install the update - it says I don't have permissions to access some of the items, so cannot install. Ihave a MACBook Pro (new). Please help.

See above. When updating the newest version of Firefox - I go to drag the logo into my applications folder and it says "the operation cannot be completed, because you don't have permission to access some of the items". and it will not let the process continue. Can I fix this, so I can install the update?
I have a MAC Version 10.6.4 (it's practically brand new!)

I just purchased a JBL charge wireless speaker that is supposed to be compatible with ipad using Bluetooth , but cannot get my ipad to find the device. Please help

How do I connect ipad to jbl charge wireless speaker using Bluetooth. My ipad and ipad mini do not find device

I am having the same issue as YCandy. My iPhone 5 paired immediately - then I had bluetooth on my iPhone "forget the device" - but when I try to pair with my iPad it doesn't find the speaker. I just purchased the JBL Charge wireless.
The directions that come with the speaker are just pictures - shows me how to connect everything and what each light and button means. But it doesn't explain how to make sure the device is in "pairing mode." What does that mean exactly? The power button is blinking Blue - and never pairs with my iPad.
Any suggestions?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

I just got this new computer and I hooked my printer up but cannot get it to print.

You thought wrong.
iTunes Match will do this.
Did you subscribe to iTunes Match?
I too can not find my music. The ones I have downloaded myself and the purchased ones.
They are on your old computer or in the backup of your old computer.
