Hi,
Yes, but when sending 2 print jobs from 2 computers at the same time, the wreless job will fail. In many case it will recover itself but sometimes it can't.
Regars.

  • If I buy creative cloud and save my work to a USB, and another computer only has creative suite, are they compatible?

    I don't know which to buy, creative suite 6, or creative cloud, which seems to have more. but are they compatible with eachother?, if I save work to one and another computer only has the other, can it recognise the other program and I can still use both?

    Those are the collective names for suites for several different software titles. Creative Cloud has about 29 different software titles.
    File format incompatibility affects different software in different ways. Photoshop, Indesign may have issues but Dreamweaver will probably not.

  • I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).

    I am unable to stream Netflix to my Iphone or Apple TV, from my wireless router . . . even though I am able to watch Netflix on my WII (also wireless) and desktop computer (not wireless).
    On the Iphone and Apple TV I can connect to Netflix . . . it recognizes me and my account settings . . . and I can veiw all my recent programs and show titles, descriptions, etc..  But when I select one to watch I get a message saying:
    "ERROR A PROBLEM OCCURED WHILE PLAYING THIS ITEM. TRY AGAIN LATER, OR SELECT A DIFFERENT ITEM. GO TO WWW.NETFLIX.COM/SUPPORT FOR MORE INFORMATION. (139)
    Netflix support say there is nothing wrong on their end . . . that it is an Apple issue.  They see the request for the show, the devices are registered . . . but it shows 0 bandwidth to the device.
    My Apple TV did this when I first hooked it up a couple of weeks ago.  Then after a few days started working with Netflix, for no apparent change . . . now doesn't again for the past couple of days (I think that it auto restarted the other night after a virus scan).
    Very frustrating, and driving me nuts!  Has anyone else had and been able to resolve this problem?

    Troubleshooting
    Apple TV2 update one day and netflix is browsing but not launching the actual content (error 139)
    Ipad2 (another ios device) forces me to update netflix if I want to use it and I get the same error 139 on it.
    **** now I have two not ways not working where prior to some update it was fine.
    Nintendo Wii is still working ( mind you running an ancient version of netflix )  Dusted the Wii off and gave it to the kids use.  Now they are happy again...
    PC is also still working ( using some other flash client ) but that's just of interest, we're not going to be watching tv with that.
    My wife's iphone 4s is still working.  Odd.. still ios but for somereason I am not forced to update the version. So basically she could mirror stream up to the apple tv with it.  Nice feature of Ios5.  Later found out it is using 1.4 version of netflix.  The most useful thing out of that is that all 3 of the devices are Ios and it was actually the iphone with the 1.4 version of netflix that still worked!
    I heard from a friend who was on a different ISP he was still working so I took my appletv2 and ipad2 over to my brothers house who is on that same ISP as my friend and both started working.  So the ISP is involved too!
    Brought the appletv2 and ipad2 back to my house hoping it would maybe still work.  No dice   Broken again.
    Searched the appstore for a decent packet analyzer and there isn't really anything.  I was able to sniff the traffic with my PC and also on my juniper ssg5 confirmed that.  Turns out port 80 traffic is actually failing and authorization is not happening.  The other clients do not do this...
    Asked a buddy from work who used to work at the ISP if he could make a call to some one who might actually know what is going on.  He came back pretty quick and said yea they are trying really hard to get the beta patch in from Bluecoat asap. 
    So knowing that it was actually Netflix that changed when it hit 2.0 and in my case the ISP made the adjustment it's pretty safe to say this issue is going to be ongoing unless netflix changes again the way they authorize for licenses.
    So that's the summary of what went right down the troubleshooting path but I'll tell what what didn't
    2 calls to Netflix (useless... waste of time... they are too quick to blame anyone but themselves)
    1 call to apple support (support call was going to cost more than it cost for me to change ISPs)
    2 calls to ISP (through the normal means - regular support number)
    So why is this intermittantly working sometimes?  If you are lucky enough to authorize to an IP address that is not cached they voila you are going to get an authorization / a license to watch the show.  Some people report after defribulating their appletv (reseting, rebooting, dns changes, you name it) they get it working.  Over the past month we all seem to have got it working for some period of time only to lose it a day to two later.
    It's now been several days since the beta patch to the bluecoat and 4 of us who have been communicating on the issue appear to be online all at the same time for those several days and that is a good sign that we might be out of the woods on the issue.
    Hope this turns into something helpful for someone else out there.

  • Connecting USB and Charger at the same time

    Hello guys, Is there any problem connecting usb and charger at the same time? after that, the Nokia Battery Monitor 2.0 shows 93% after full charge. Any ideia?

    yes, there is a male-female usb extension cable sold on computer store.
    Just pick up the length you need.
    But the price is almost the same with the cheapest 2.0 usb hub (4 port), so you better consider the usb hub one.
    Good Luck.

  • Connecting to wireless network *and* another computer at the same time?

    Hi,
    I will be getting a new macbook soon and have an old powerbook with airport. I am wondering if it is possible to connect to my old powerbook via airport, while still being connected to a third-party wireless internet connection (from the macbook). The crucial point is that I cannot connect both computers to the wireless network, because subscription is based on the computer's hardware address and I don't want to pay for 2 computers (I don't need to have internet access on the old computer, just a connection between the two computers). Anyone knows?
    Thanks!

    What you are referring to is known as "Internet Sharing" for Macs, but it's typically restricted to sharing the Internet connection from one port (either AirPort or Ethernet) to the OTHER port...not AirPort-to-AirPort or Ethernet-to-Ethernet.

  • IPAD1 and home computer loses wireless connection since i upgrade to 5.1.1.

    I have an iPAD 1.  Can't complain as it was given to me.
    I have a Dell home computer (not an Apple) and I have a Linkys wireless router.  (I don't always know the right computer lingo, so I apologize upfront).
    I only use the Wireless on my iPAD.  Its a 32G with 3G but don't use a plan only the wireless.
    All has been going great for the last 2 months.  Loving it.
    Well...until last night and I got a pop-up on my iPad that asked to download to IOS 5.1.1. So, I did and it all went well. 
    For about an hour.  Then I could get a connection.
    So, here's where my problems started.  I got on my home computer to start looking for advice and my home computer wasn't working too.  So, I got out my trusty Blackberry (it's provided from my employer) so I search on there.  It said to disconnect the router.  It also said on the IPAD to reset network.  So, I did both and both iPAD and home computer got back the connectivity. 
    I checked my AOL and Facebook on my iPAD this morning for a couple of hours.  Alll was good.
    Then this afternoon, I was connected then wasn't.  So I got on my home computer and it lost wireless too.
    I've been messing about research trying to figure out what I did wrong and it seems like there are some bugs in 5.1.1. 
    I thought maybe I could downgrade but it looked a little tricky.
    Can anyone out there tell me what to do? 
    P.S.  I don't download iTunes but I would like in the future maybe to watch a movie on the iPAD and I download books and I'm trying to figure out how to sync with my Kindle Touch.
    So many things for a senior citizen to be trying to figure out. (ha!)

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) 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. 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.

  • Best way to connect to another computer via Internet

    Hello,
    I would like to be able to help my students from time to time remotely, that is, by accessing their computer via the Internet so I could make some demos whether on my own screen our theirs.I know that we can do this at school via Apple Remote Desktop. I read a few post on Apple's Forum's Web Site saying that it was quite simple to do but there where many conditions required.
    A simple way is neede here since I'm will be talking mostly at starters on the mac and maybe some will be on a PC.
    I will need to give them simple instructions to connect easally.
    I am not that familiar with "File Sharing", I know the option is there in my Mac. But I'm not sure all of my students will be on the same network and maybe some will be on PC also?
    Do I really need Apple Remote Desktop, some other software or via a Web site such as "logmein.com" or others?
    Thank you for answering and looking forward to read you,
    Robert Marchand
    <Email Edited by Host>

    HI,
    Thank's for answering. I've cheked the product and it seem's quite simple effectively. I even talk to a person on the phone who explained to me what where the possibilities. It seem's like if I want to show how I do something on my Mac to one of my student the student need then to also download the software. As soon as I told the ladie it was between my students and I, the sofware is no longer free (30$ a month?...). So I guess I would have to be cautious about using that product free of charge with my students, as long as I do a "Pear To Pear" connection...
    Are there other Internet Services such as this one?
    Thank you for answering,
    Robert Marchand

  • MG8120 Wi-Fi connects (Uverse). PC connects. Unable to print via wireless.??????

    The Printer will connect to the wireless (Uverese)&nbsp;router no problem.&nbsp;Same with my PC.&nbsp; The problem is with printing in the wireless LAN mode.&nbsp; I can plug in and print via USB, but that defeats the purpose.&nbsp; I changed ISP recently and had a hard wired cable modem and&nbsp;a &nbsp;wireless router that I plugged the printer into and printed via the connection from the PC to the router.&nbsp; Now everything is wireless.&nbsp;The catch is the printer is one room and&nbsp;the modem is in&nbsp;another.&nbsp;The only way I am able to print is to hook up the PC to the printer, not why I purchased a Wi-Fi printer. Windows 8 by the way.
    Thanks

  • Connecting network Printer to laptops via wireless

    My daughter received a new Toshiba laptop for Christmas to help with her school work and I have been working to get it setup. I have nearly everything working fine including a network connection for internet through my network router, but I am having difficulty  with connecting the laptop to my network printer. I have a Belkin F7D3302 v1 wireless router that serves as my network router and this Belkin router is connected via an ethernet cable to my desktop and the router is also connected wirelessly to my Alienware laptop (both run Windows 7) - I have full connectivity with both of these computers and no printing issues - I also have an older Sont Vaio laptop that runs Windows XP SP3 - it is also connected wirelessly to the network and I can print from this computer without any problem. I went into my daughter's computer to install the printer and although it found the printer the TEST PAGE would not print and the computer shows the printer as being offline. I did do a look at the Network Config on the printer and it shows the IP address as all zeros which I found odd, but my Alienware and Sony are conected so I should be able to get my daughters laptop to connect. Any help would be appreciated to get my daughters laptop connected to the printer

    I have rebooted the laptop multiple times while using HP Scan and Print doctor, but to no avail. I am baffled largely because the ISP service connected between the Belkin router and the laptop without any difficulties and although when I click on Add Printer it shows the network printer it shows the status as offline continuously - when i try to start the HP software direct on the laptop (I installed the original HP software to the laptop) it says it cannot start because the printer has not finished installing. I am guessing it is either a Win 8.1 issue of some sort.

  • Hp v40 on xp desktop and is shared via wireless network. laptop with windows 7 wont print on v40.

    Can't print from laptop (windows 7) via wireless router .to desktop (windows xp) with usb attached HP v40 all in one.
    Laptop (7) ----- wireless router ----- desktop (xp) - -usb-- HPv40
    Worked when laptop was running xp.
    Laptop spools print job to desktop and seemingly completes, but the desktop simply ignores the print job.
    No error messages.
    printing from the desktop work just fine.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I am reporting this as solved. I submitted this problem. The problem started when updated my laptop from Windows XP to Windows 7. When I did, The Lexmark printer on my desktop worked find with the new laptop system. The HP V40 did not work. The Desktop simply received each print job submitted from the Laptop (via a wireless local network) and discarded it. I could see the print job come into the V40 print queue and could see it disappear.
    Here is what I did to solve the problem:
    I tried a dozen or so combinations of removing and installing the printer on both my Windows 7 laptop and my Windowx XP desktop (with the V40 attached via USB), and manually removing and installing print drivers on my desktop  PC, it finally works. What did I do? I have no idea, but I believe that manually removing the v40 drivers on the desktop was part of the solution. While viewing the available printers on my XP desktop, I clicked on File and one of the tabs led me to a place where I could remove drivers for each printer ( I just removed the ones for the V40).
    Here is what I DID NOT DO:
    I did not follow the advice of the HP support person that I contacted via the telephone. That advice was to reinstall Windows XP on my desktop. That clearly was not the problem when I spoke to him. But he would NOT listen to reason. Thankfully, I have enough PC knowledge to know that his advice bas bogus
    I am pleased with the resulting availablilty of the V40 again.
    I have no idea how to officially close this problem.
    I would be happy to discuss this with anyone else who has a similar problem, but when I submitted this problem with my name and email address, the moderator removed my problem submission. Hence, I think anyone who wants to know more is out of luck.

  • Connecting iPod to another computer

    When I connect my iPod to a different computer, it gives the message that it will erase the iPod unless I click cancel. When I do that, the iPod does not show up in iTunes. I want to be able to play my music on that computer, so i've tried using shiftaltctrl and shift+ctrl when connecting it, but in both cases the iPod shows up initially, but disappears when I click its icon.
    So how do I connect it so I can play the music on another computer?
    Thanks

    Nope... Shuffles are "synced" with a specific iTunes library. He could always use a 3rd party application such as YamiPod to move his songs from the Shuffle to the iTunes library on his mother's computer... and vice versa.

  • Is it possible to install OSX on another computer via Target disk mode?

    Hey there...
    a friend of mine has an older iBook. the drive on this iBook is broken (snapped off) so there's no way of using it.
    is it possible to install OS Panther from another computer (use OS X panther install running on a MacBook, or G4) targeting the iBook via Target Disk mode?
    thanks!

    Hello Again SCHPiLKAS!
    As roam posted, you cannot use the Intel MacBook install discs, on the PPC iBook.
    Additional info in these links.

    If the iBook meets the Panther System Requirements, and the Additional Panther System Requirements, and you have a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, you can use Firewire Target Disk Mode, to install the system.
    The Panther discs should look, exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
