Canon MX860 Fails to connect via wifi

Our MX860 suddenly stopped working. It's been a reliable printer on our home network for a few years now.
"Support code 300: The printer does not respond..."
I turned it off/on, which has been sufficient to resolve any hiccups in the past. No change.
I restarted the primary Mac (an iMac running 10.8.5). No change.
I downloaded the latest driver from Canon and installed it. No change.
I downloaded the Canon IJ Network Tool and connected to the printer via USB and ran through the setup process. It seemed to go smoothly, but at the end where the network version of the printer and scanner are supposed to appear in the Default section of the Add dialog for adding a printer, no dice. The USB printer and FAX entries are there, but no new network printer or scanner entries to select.
On the front panel of the printer in the WLAN setting list it reports:
Connection: Active
SSID: <mywifinetwork>
Communications mode: Infrastructure
Channel: 6
Data encryption: AES
Network authentication: WPA2-PSK
WEP bit: Disable
IP address: 10.0.1.191
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 10.0.1.1
MAC address: 00:00:85:F5:DA:A1
Any tips/insight on what I should try next would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Try turning off the power again, but this time disconnect the power cord and USB cable for 5 minutes.
Then reconnect the power cord and turn on and check the network settings (in case the IP address has changed - it should not have but check anyway). Then open Network Utility (Applications > Utilities) and select the Ping tab. Enter the IP address of the MX860 and press Ping. You should get a ping response for each packet sent. If you do, then it shows there is a working path between the Mac and the MX. If there is no response, then there is an issue with the wireless connection between the Mac and the MX.

I'm able to connect via wifi but not via ethernet

I have a iMac, Mac OS X v10.7.5, and recently had a problem connecting to internet. I can connect via wifi, but when I try connecting via ethernet it's not working. When I go to the preferences > network, it shows "green" / connected for ethernet but when I open up Safari or Firefox, it doesn't show a connection to the internet.

Can I share my internet connection via wifi AND use my wireless printer at the same time?

Not completely familiar with wifi capabilities. I have this new setup in my office. I want to share my iMac internet connection via wifi so I can text and check emails using my iPhone (no cell service inside the building). Which works fine. However, I now cannot print wirelessly to my HP printer (LaserJet Pro 400 color). Once Internet sharing is off, I can print just fine. Any other wireless options, or just go get a long USB cable?

Hi,
It is not a multitasking printer, other devices may keep it therefore the best option in this case: connect it to your wireless router and all devices which are conntected to this router can sahre the printer.
Regards.

I have an Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station (Simultanious Dual_Band) (MC340LL/A), and updated the software. After updating no devices can connect via wifi. Any suggestions.

I have an Appl,e AirPort Extreme Base Station (Simultaneous Dual_Band( MC340LL/A. After updating the software, no devices can connect via wifi.

As suggested in another discussion area, (AirPort), I reset the AEBS to factory defaults. On the TV, I went to >Settings>General>Network>Configure Wireless>Wireless Networks. I could then see the generic "Apple Network xxxxx" on the TV. From my MacBookPro, I verified that I could connect to the TV by launching iTunes and noting that the TV was now visible in the "Devices" menu. Went back to the AEBS and ran through the "Setup" routine. I did NOT use the "Previous Settings" but instead, saved the old settings profile, created a new wireless network and new settings profile and enabled WPA2 Personal encryption. I then went back to the TV and went through the "Settings" routine again (as noted above). This time, after entering my WPA2 password, the TV connected to the network and problem was solved. Thanks.

Can not find air printer - using epson wf 3520 connected via wifi

Hardware: macbook air
Software: Osx 10.9.5
Epson printer wf3520 connected via wifi is working - latest printer software installed
-when trying to add an air printer sometimes its showing up under bonjour - usually its not showing as available printer
-when it is installed and I try to print I get the message "printer not connected"
Any help how to install it correctly?

Hi wolfgangfromhildesheim,
If you've gone through the article that Allen provided, have gotten through to the step where you reset your printing system, and the issue persists, then the next step in the article is for you to contact the printer manufacturer for further assistance.
If you're unable to print
Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found."
Make sure your printer has paper, and enough ink or toner installed.
Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
Make sure your printer has power and is turned on. Try turning your printer off and then back on again to see if it resolves your issue.
Check to see if your printer has any error lights or indicators displayed on the printer's control panel. Check the documentation that came with your printer to clear any errors displayed.
Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer. Check your printer's documentation or contact the printer vendor for more information. A firmware update may be available, even if you just bought your printer.

When i wake up my iMac from sleep my wifi is disconnected. It also disconnects my iPad, my wives iPad, my iPhone & Sky On Demand which is connected via wifi. To reconnect all devices i have to switch off & then on again wifi on the iMac. Can anyone help?

Had the same issue and finally solved it. After the upgrade to Mavericks our 2 new Macbook Airs stopped connecting automatically to Wifi while the older machines the kids had still worked fine.
Bought a new airport extreme and problem solved. Our Airport Extreme was about 5 years old and was probably not compatible with the new OSX.
BTW this was after trying everything people suggested on this forum and a 4 hour marathon tech support call with Apple where we reinstalled the OSX.
***** to need to spend $200 but glad the problem got solved.
New extreme is also mega fast so its all good.

Anone connecting via wifi?

Greetings!
I've been having troubles downloading HD movie files with iTunes 9.0.2. An other content downloads fine after purchase. Problems come when trying to download any file larger than 2 gig or so.
An Apple expert tells me that the problem is that the PC running iTunes is connected via wifi. Unfortunately, moving the machine or router is not a simple option.
So wondering if anyone out there is downloading HD content via wifi and having any issues, or doing fine?
BTW, I use AppleTV to watch the content from the PC, a connection made via the wifi router without issue.
Thanks!

Works fine for me. I'm using an 8-yr-old Linksys router on 802.11b, set to a channel that doesn't interfere so much with the neighbors.
If this is a new router, check to see if the manufacturer has any firmware updates.

Airport Extreme connected via wifi -- will remote MobileMe still work?

I have two Macs: a desktop and a laptop. I have the latest software and I have MobileMe. My internet is physically connected to the desktop computer. The laptop is connected via wifi using a non-Apple router.
According to Apple's website concerning the AirPort Extreme, "Say you’re traveling and you need a file on the hard drive connected to your AirPort Extreme back at home. If you’re a MobileMe member using Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard, no problem. You can access all the files on your shared drive over the Internet."
My question is this: if I attach an Airport Extreme to the laptop -- which is connected via wifi to the network -- will I still be able to access the attached hard drive via MobileMe while traveling, or does this work only if the Airport Extreme is directly wired to the internet?
Thanks.

Thanks, very helpful.
Say it loud, this is one of the best things of Airport, you control the volume even with the optical output:
¿However, why I can´t do the same with the optical output of my 2008 Mac Mini?
Each one (Mac mini 2008 and Airport Express 2008) have optical link to both receivers (Denon AVR3805 and Denon AVR1905).
But I must control the volume of the mac mini with the remote of the AVR3805.
It seems Airplay makes some magic, but straight driver of OSX over audio device don´t.
What a PIA (Pain in the ***). They can put Gigabits of audio information in the optical link but they can´t add a layer adding a header of some bytes to the packets, adressed to a smart DAC than can control the analog output with two bytes of information.
IEEE, ¿Will you make a layer specification for smart DACs? Life and devices use would be much simpler.
Apple in the meantime makes the magic he is able with Airplay.
Some day.

I recently purcased a Roku which I connected via WiFi. Was unhappy with it so disconnected all. Since that time my Ipad will not connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

I recently purchased a Roku which I connected via WiFi. I was unhappy with it so disconnected everything. Since that time my iPad 1 will not connect to internet although in "settings" it indicated that it is connected. I turned off the WiFi for 30 seconds as was suggested but still the iPad won't conect. Anybody have suggestions as to what might provide a "fix"?

I wonder if the roku changed some other settings in your router or pad.
Recycle the router. Thurn it off for a while, then restart.
On the pad, forget your exiting network. This will cause it to search for avaialbe, and reset again. You will likely need to redo any password/ security entry.
Lastly, in settings, general, reset network connections. You will not lose anything.

Blackberry 9300 not connecting via wifi

I have a blackberry curve 9300 and when I turn off the data and connect via wifi, there is no data access at all. However when I was traveling and I had data roaming off, in had internet access. But then I had the data turned on, but data roaming off. The problem is when I turn data off. It doesn't work on wifi alone. Is this normal? Is there a setting I need to change?

Hello Mira_ishak
As I told to Turn Off your Mobile Network , but on a BlackBerry 6 and 7 if on Manage Connection we Turn On our Mobile Network as well as WiFi then by default our Browser will always choose wifi as prefered connection , User just turn it off to be sure that they are not using there Carrier Data, To use BBM we need an SIM card which has an active BIS connection even to use it over an wifi Network .

IPad 3 with iOS 6 fails to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES - any solutions available?

Hello *,
after upgrading my iPad 3 to iOS 6 it constantly fails to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES - hidden or broadcasted SSID - at home and at work because the device does not accept the WPA2 password. This is also the case for my iPhone 4S but both devices did work with WiFi (WPA2 / AES) perfectly with previously installed iOS 5.1.1.
I tried to downgrade to iOS 5.1.1 but it seems to be no longer possible to downgrade for both iPad 3 and iPhone 4S as the certification and signage window for iOS 5.1.1 maybe has been closed by Apple.
Does anyone know about a possible solution to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES with iPad 3 / iPhone 4S and iOS 6 upgrade?
Thank you very much for any help and advise.
Best regards from Germany
Matthias

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
