Deskjet 3051A- having trouble connecting to Verizon MiFi network

I have a Deskjet 3051A wireless printer at home. I am using it with a Macbook Air. Our wireless network has changed, and I need to connect the printer to the new network, which is a Verizon MiFi network. Is there a way to do this? I have tried restarting the printer, to no avail. When I try to install the software from the installation CD that came with the printer, it says that the OS I'm using is not supported by the software. Help, me please!!
This question was solved.

Hi,
If you already installed teh Full Feature HP Software temporary connect the printer using USB, go to Applications > Hewlett-Packard > Device Utilities and follow the HP Setup Assistant, you will be provided with an option to connect the printer to your network.
If there is no Hewlett-Packard folder under applications connect the printer using USB, download and install the software below. be sure to select HP REcommended Software and you will be provided with the option to configure the wireless connection during the installation:

Having trouble connecting Wireless Router to Network

Hey everyone, I ordered two Encore ENHWI-2AN3 wireless routers and am having trouble configuring the one I want to use as the wireless access point (other one will be used as a repeater.)
I followed the advice here
http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Wireless-Router-Doesn-t-Work-After-35ft/m-p/206716/highli...
I disabled DHCP, and set a new IP on the local network. I disabled WiFi on the verizon router as well. When I run an ethernet cable between the two using LAN ports, and try to use WiFi I get a signal, but it doesn't go load.
I'm assuming I need to tweak something in the "internet" section of the Encore router, the main options are Dynamic or Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP.
To clarify, I am not looking to replace the Verizon router, only use the Encore router for Wifi

MacBook 10.6.7. is having trouble connecting to my wireless network.

Hi all~
I am basically having trouble with my wireless connection. I know I have a functioning connection because my girlfriend is able to connect and surf just fine. However, I try to log on and get the usual error messages. I've tried the network diagnostic and the setup assistant to no avail. They tell me to contact my ISP, but my ISP can't find a problem. Any advice out there? Has my airport gone crazy....is this a hardware issue??

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.

Having trouble connecting to my wireless network

Hi everyone, my iPad gen 3 can not connect to my wireless network. I have to unplug my router, and repower for it to connect. Even going into settings on the iPad, and putting in the password for the wireless connection, the iPad gives me an error message that the password is incorrect. I was thinking of updating to a new router. My current router is about 3 years old. I am also running Network Magic from Cisco. Can anyone give me any ideas for a solution to this problem? As always, thank you for your help.
Regards, Paul

Having trouble connecting to existing home network

I have US Robotics Wireless Turbo Access Point & Router. We have a mixture of PCs and Macs that connect without problems. Router is set Mac Filter Disabled and Wep disabled.
I have a new imac 17inch with Airport Extreme.Using Network Diagnostics the network name is found but then says it needs a network password. Box asking for Wireless Security - Wep Password.
We have older imac, ibook, a new powerbook all connecting without any problems.
Help appreciated as I am a convert from pc and excited to get on.
It may be relevant that during set up when it failed to connect to our network by name, I clicked on 'wireless'. It obviously found a connection of sorts and set up. I was puzzled why access was so slow. I assumed it was connected to out own network. Thank you.
Imac 17inch Mac OS X (10.4.7) Using US Robotics Wireless Turbo Access Point & Router

Hi Duane. Thank you for responding so quickly. On Wednesday I bought a Mac Mini from our new Apple Store here in UK. It was dead-on-arrival. Took it back and decided to go for the imac to avoid any further frustration and go completely mac.
It is definitely looking at my network. If I turn the router off it disappears from the drop down menu at top of screen. It reappears when I plug the router back on. So it is recognising that the network exists. When I try through System Preferences, Network, it lists my network - when clicked there is no signal level.
I get 'There wan error joining the AirPort network etc'.
When I try through Assistance I get message 'Enter AirPort information .........stating my network requires password etc.
I am logged onto my router via my pc and WEP is definitely disabled. I am thinking I have another faulty machine.
Imac 17inch Mac OS X (10.4.7) Using US Robotics Wireless Turbo Access Point & Router

I have a Verizon IPhone 4 with IOS 5.0.1 and I'm having trouble connecting to an open network called linksys that says I'm connected with the wifi icon in the menu bar but it's a slow to non existing connection? Anyone in similar situation?

My other questions were anyone in a similar situation? Should I get wifi in my home? What is the best provider in Chicago?

Since the network obviously doesn't belong to you, we're not going to be able to suggest much you can do to fix it. As for getting wifi in your home, do you not already have Internet access? Wireless routers are cheap if you already have wired Internet. If you don't, the "best" provider may not be a relevant question. You probably have 2, maybe 3 choices. Your cable company, your phone company and probably one other choice that is actually running piggyback on either the cable or phone company. If you're in a high rise, the building may have their own service you can buy into.

3510 all in one having trouble connecting to new wireless network

Ok - just to update, at least the drivers are downloadable now ... I'll see if that resolves my issue.

Hi guys. I just switched to a new modem through my ISP (Rogers) that has a built in router and a much faster connection. (Previously, this 3510 printer was working just fine over my network with a modem and a router that was separate.) My computer is hooked into the internet via a direct cable and everyone else in the household connects via wireless, which has been set up and works well. For some reason though, my 3510 refuses to play nice with the modem and connect to the network. I've tried plugging it in via usb cable, then going into the settings and clicking on the "convert a usb connected printer to wireless" option. I hit "yes, access the computer or router", then next, it finds my wireless network with no trouble and I type in the required password and "next" - it then takes a while to go through it's "setting up printer on network" .... and then after a while, I get a "MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router" error. There IS no MAC filtering. I have "allow all" set on the router. This shouldn't be an issue. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it just a thing with the newer modem/router combos and these older HP printers? I tried to update the driver, but your website doesn't seem to be letting folks do that at the moment (some error you're fixing, it says?). If you have any suggestions on how I could get past this problem, I'd really appreciate it. It's driving me NUTS. Thanks! All the best, -- Jodi

Can you see the network in the Mac's wireless network list?

Having trouble connecting to a WPA2 network. [SOLVED]

I decided to dive into Arch today and was amazed at how smooth the installation was, I read the documentation and installed the driver for my Broadcom BCM4313 adapter but I can't seem to figure out how to connect to my WPA2 personal encrypted network or any network for that matter.
I've tried reading some of the methods but none have worked for me, maybe I'm not doing it properly.
If anyone has any suggestions please do give me some and it would be nice if someone told me what to add so it will connect on startup.
Thanks!
EDIT: I downloaded WPA2GUI and it worked perfect.

Try WICD.
Add @wicd to DAEMONS in your /etc/rc.conf, run "/etc/rc.d/wicd start" and put wicd-gtk to your .xinitrc or start-up applications.

Does anyone have trouble connecting to their wireless network, after being logged on for some time? Mountain Lion.

I am having trouble connecting to my wireless network. It works when I startup my computer but, after a while it can't seem to find the wireless network. I have an Airport Extreme and the light is green. The only way to remedy this problem is to restart my computer. Mountain Lion isn't that great after all not to mention it distorts some images when scrolling. I am kindly asking for some advice, I assume a major update will be coming soon.

You don't by chance have a "invisible" or "hidden" network enabled on the router?
Because Mac's won't reconnect automatically now to hidden network only upon reboots, it's sort of like advertising the hidden network if you take the computer elsewhere.
Also hidden networks are no deterrent to hackers, they see all.
Also check your time and date, make sure they accurate first, then save that, then make sure it's updated via Apple time servers in your general location (System Preferences > Time and Date) If your being kicked off, your DCHP lease might be expiring too early.

Im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

I've found that the order of operations, so-to-speak, can be important when hooking up mini display port to HDMI. I have the most success with the following operations in this order:
1) Plug HDMI cable into mini displayport adapter (the cable should not be plugged into either the TV or the computer at this point)
2) Plug the mini displayport end of your new super-cable to the computer.
3) Plug the HDMI end into your TV.
4) Switch inputs on your TV to the proper input.
5) If still nothing on the TV, try a different HDMI port on your TV.
Hopefully this helps! Good luck.

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. It is not an issue with the service/router. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport... anyone know what's up with this?

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?

Try this:
Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.

I'm having trouble connecting my iphone to my itunes on my computer

So for christmas I got an iPhone and currently, I'm having trouble connecting my iPhone to my iTunes on my computer. If I get on my computer and open my iTunes, I can use it perfectly fine but once I tried to connect my phone to it, it told me the software needed to be updated before it would work with my phone. I went to the website and tried downloading the updated version 10 times but every time it told me it couldn't connect with an apple device or something. So then I tried just going to my downloads and stuff and moving the actual song straight to my phone but it would always tell me my device has ended or has been disconnected. All I'm trying to do is move some songs onto my phone from my computer. They weren't purchased straight from iTunes so it's not showung up in my "purchased" on my phone. (I think I got them from amazon and some are cds that I my computer that I got years ago. Maybe thats why they don't show up in the purchased?) Anyway, how can I fix this? I have a windows computer if that can help at all. Thanks!!!

Also, I just opened my iTunes on my computer then plugged my phone to the computer and a box popped up saying "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device is not started"
I have no idea what that means.
I don't have that option on the side that says what device is connected so I can't sync or anything.

I'm having trouble connecting to apps, itunes store, internet on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4. I am currently connected to a perfectly running WiFI connection. Why am I not able to connect anything? I've tried ALL the fixes suggested. HELP!!!!!!!!!

I'm having trouble connecting to apps, itunes store, internet on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4. I am currently connected to a perfectly running WiFI connection. This just started happening today (2/19/14)! Why am I not able to connect anything? I've tried ALL the fixes suggested. HELP!!!!!!!!! BTW, I know my Wi-Fi connection is good because I'm using it on my desktop and other people in my office are also connected on their iPhones and desktops. Again, HELP!!!!

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPhone a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.
