Canon printer cannot communicate over network when plugged into time capsule

I have just bought a new canon ix6550 and it will print fine when connected to my macbook pro but when i try to print when it is plugged into the timecapsule it will not communicate and I keep getting the error "Unable to communicate with the printer at this time". I have tried re installing the driver and can see the printer fine in airport utility.
Any help would be appreciated as I am getting seriuosly stressed out with it! Haha!
Cheers Ben

Are you connecting the Canon printer to the USB port on the Time Capsule?
If yes, did you also install the printer again using System Preferences > Print and Fax at the Time Capsule location?
If yes, are you selecting the correct Time Capsule location when you look at the print dialog to print?

My new USB 3.0 external drive isn't accessible over network when plugged into my Time Capsule.

It is a Seagate Backup Plus 3 TB desktop drive. Every other (USB 2) drive has worked like this, and this one works when plugged into my computer directly. I tried asking Seagate about it, but they said it was an Apple problem if the drive works when plugged directly into my computer. Besides, USB 3.0 is supposed to be backwards compatible, right?
My Time Capsule software is up to date, but is there some software difference between my 2009 MacBook Pro and my 2008 Time Capsule that allows my computer to recognize USB 3.0 drives but not my Time Capsule? Anyone have an idea about how to fix this?

Check the documentation on your drive to make sure that it is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to work with the USB port on the Time Capsule.
Your Mac supports other formats, so it is possible that the Mac can "see" the drive and the Time Capsule cannot if it is not formatted correctly for the Time Capsule.
If you still cannot "see" the drive, it is likely that you will need to use a powered USB hub for the drive...even if the drive has its own power supply.
Your Mac has a high powered USB port, while the Time Capsule port is not high powered.

Airport Express won't extend network over LAN when plugged into a switch

I have several airport expresses (newest model) and an airport extreme.
Every room in my house is wired for ethernet. Those terminate in a closet and plug into a single switch. That switch then has a single cable that plugs into the airport extreme.
In different areas of the house, I've placed a few expresses to extended the wireless network. After several attempts, the express "hotspots" would only extend the extreme via wifi (offering no real advantage) even though they were plugged into the wall via ethernet.
For grins and giggles, I tried connecting the port directly into the airport extreme (bypassing the switch) and it started to send the traffic over the wired LAN.
Question is - why? I'd much rather everything go through the switch as the extreme has a limited amount of ports and I'd rather use for other things. Anyone had this experience before?
Thanks!

Sorry, the older version of the Express does not have the option to "extend a wireless network", which is the setting on the new Express that provides more wireless coverage and also enables the Ethernet port.
What you want to do can be done with a different setting..."participate in a WDS network" on both the Time Capsule and Express, but I am not recommending that you do this because WDS operates only in "g" wireless mode. Your Time Capsule would lose most of its performance in this setting and the network would slow down tremendously...defintely not what you want for gaming.
You'll have the best performance if you connect the PS3 directly to one of the Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable. If it is not possible to run the cable, the next best performance option would be to use a pair of Ethernet powerline adapters to send the Ethernet signal over the existing AC wiring in your home.

IPhone has 175 songs but iTunes says it has over 600 when plugged into computer

On my iPhone4:
In the Settings > General > About - My phone says it has 175 songs
When plugged into a Mac with iTunes my phone reports that it has 175 songs under the tab 'On This iPhone'
But, in the Summary tab, if you hover the mouse over the Audio area it says 665 songs.
My phone is nearly full and I think this must be the culprit because I don't store much on my phone. So I am trying to figure out if there is a Deleted Music folder somewhere? Why is iTunes reporting so much music on my phone.
I only have a handful of podcasts so that isn't it either.

Printer wont show up when plugged into timecapsule, and backups in pink wont restore?

i recently purchased a TC and my printer wont show up on the network when plugged into the usb port? i also cannot restore anything from backups in pink? any solutions

When you open Print & Fax to add the HP device, are you then clicking on it to highlight it, then clicking Add at the lower right to install the device?
When you do this, you will have the HP device installed in two "locations"....one at the Mac and the other at the TC. When you try to print, you have to be sure to choose the correct location.
The PCs will need to have Bonjour for Windows installed on each device. Run the program, and select the HP device. Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2
Keep in mind that only the print function will work on most All-in-One type devices when connected to the USB port on a router. You need to connect to a computer if you need advanced features like copy, scan, maintentenance, etc.

Wireless printing from windows XP on HP1025 connected to time capsule

I have a new BUSINESS DEL laptop that I want to print from on my HOME Apple network.
My printer, HP1025nw, is directly network connected to the time capsule. Printing from iMac and MacBook is working OK, however I can not seems to get the DELL ( running XP ) to print.
Network setup on the DELL is OK, I'm connected wireless, can access internet, etc... no prolem there.
Any suggestions?

Load bonjour for windows..
Apple network resources are hidden from the PC.. without bonjour.. once you load that it should help.
If you still have issues.. how is the printer connected.. USB is the big issue one.
But if the printer is simply plugged into ethernet or wireless connected then the apple network is irrelevant. Just follow the HP instructions for installation of network printers.

Any help?

When it is indicated that the printer is offline - is it? Check the front of the printer in the wireless menu to tell (print a wireless network test).
If it is still connected to the Belkin, I suspect the Belkin does not support Bonjour (mDNS) properly so your Mac cannot find the printer.
Also, you do not want to use the CD, anyway. It is outdated and will not support 10.8. Download and install the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.
Try this sequence:
Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Restart your Mac.
Reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

How can I stop the display dimming when plugged into a powersupply. Cannot read playlist in car using music player.

My new ipod seems to dim after a short time, even when plugged into a power supply, unlike my previous ipod, which used to stay illuminated
when plugged into the car stereo and external power
Now in order to see the playlist I have to swipe or touch the home button, using the music player. However using a GPS app, the screen stays
fully illuminated......as it should!
Is this normal now for playing music?
Also, the new grey on white menu display for music is very hard to read in the car in bright daylight.......unlke the old white on black. Nothing I
can do about that sadly except complain to apple directly :-(

Hi Diavonex. Yes I was aware of this option.
Subsequently I have done a litle research and downloaded a music app called "Track 8" which has a much clearer interface (larger type) and the abillity to change the background colour to dark or light.
This is much more readable in the car in bright light, and much better at night too.
You can also turn off auto-lock within the application, which is great, as it doesn't affect other apps.
Although this app is really only an interface sitting on top of the music app, it offers a much better experience
in my opinion that the stock player which seems to have devolved rather than evolved.

Printer offline when connected to Time Capsule

I moved my HP All-In-One C4580 from my office to my home. At home, I use my Time Capsule as my primary wireless router.
I have followed every step that HP tells me, in terms of removing and reinstalling the software, and still, the only way I can print is to have the printer connected directly to my MacBookPro via a USB cable. I was expecting to be able to use it either wirelessly, like it says it is supposed to be capable of, or with it wired to my Time Capsule via USB. The last piece of advice I got from tech support at HP was this:
"I recommend you to open the EWS Page of your router and check the MAC filtering option. I would request you to contact Apple for the assistance on the same. The printer works after connecting to Mac using USB cable and the message 'Printer offline' appears after connecting to the Apple Time capsule base station."
I cannot figure out what the EWS page is, or how I would get to it.

Thanks LaPastenaue.
I ran the network utility but only the macbook had a .local suffix. I'm struggling to understand the info from Netstat to be honest and obviously I'm not keen on sharing my network data with the rest of the interweb.
I did try moving the TC into the same room as the HH5. I moved all the connections from the HH and plugged them into the gigabit ethernet ports on the TC and ran one Cat6 from the TC WAN port into the HH, using it as a modem only. This was not the setup I was hoping for as I am running out of room for kit, but annoyingly, this does give me a solid AirPlay connection on all my devices when on the TC network.
I did a comparison on each setup with netstat and I see that in the first 'Internet' table that the TC is not mentioned in the old setup(TC in separate room) but is listed in the 'Internet' table when I have it plugged up as above.
It seems that whenever I have the music streamer plugged in to the TC directly I get AirPlay but if it daisy chained through the HH ethernet hub I get an intermittant and flaky AirPlay connection.
Any more thoughts?

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in, any ideas?

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything. Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously. Has anyone had this problem? I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.

Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department. Her suggestions: change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers. So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue. It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more. Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department. Make them aware of this problem!

BSOD when plugging into Dynadock U3

Hi There,
We have a wide number of Toshiba Dynadock u3.0's working with a number of Sony Vaio Laptops. In the main they have worked pretty well, and have improved over time as new releases have come out.
At the moment we are rolling out the new Sony Vaio Pro laptops, and Dynadock is almost essential for users because the Vaio Pro's do not have an ethernet adapter. We are also downgrading them to Windows 7 from Windows 8 as we are not ready for Windows 8 on a large rollout, and holding off till 8.1 goes live.
We have had a couple of blue screen of deaths on 2 Vaio Pro's when plugging into the Dynadock. Both have the latest dynadock drivers, and we have obtained the memory dump for the machines. Before they were plugged in, they were on the WLAN in the office.
The other half a dozen devices we have in use at the moment have not yet reported this issue, and the BSOD has appeared on these two devices only once each, but I was asked to report this issue on these forums to just confirm there is no obvious issue with the Dynadocks.
In the meantime we have 3 other Vaio pros which are being tested and have not yet experinced the same issue.

Charger Buzzes when plugged into the Adapter Converter

Im in England currently (From the USA) and am using a "DYNEX" converter adapter to switch the electric current down so I can plug in/charge my Macbook Pro and iPad.
It works, however the charger buzzes pretty loudly and gets hot.
Thankfully I brought two, one started smelling like melted plastic and stopped charging altogether. That particular charger has faulted at home before (back in the USA), so I'm not sure if it died because of the converter or because it's just faulty.
I have plugged in the newer charger and it also buzzes, but I'm really worried to keep it plugged in because I don't want it to fault out too.
Is it normal for it to buzz like that when plugged into a converter adapter?
Thanks!

The question again, why are you using a voltage converter? The Apple charegers are all rated for 100-240 volts at 0-60 Hz...you only need a plug adapter to convert the US HEMA plug to the UK two round pin plug.
Adding a voltage converter is adding one more failure point into the system.
I have used mine all over Europe with no issues.

I was an apple beta tester for iOS7 and now my iPhone 5 shut down, it's unresponsive it gets recognized by iTunes when plugged into the computer but that's it. Since I was a beta tester is there any way to fix my iPhone??

Are you still running iOS 7 bet?. If so go to the private developer section for help. We cannot help you here with beta software.
