Got new router, now I can't find my HP LJ5000 on my wireless network

I recently had FIOS internet installed at my house, it came with a new wireless router which replaced my old one. Since then I have not been able to find my HP Laserjet 5000 over the wireless network. The "add printer" function does not even see it. (It worked fine with my old router, a Belkin.) All other aspects of my network work, including other wireless functions. The HP LJ5000 still works with another Mac that is connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
At first I thought this was because my laptop was an older iBook running Panther, and was not smart enough for the FIOS router. But now I have a brand new Macbook running Leopard, and the problem is the same, i.e. the network works great except I can't see the HP LJ5000 wirelessly.

I just found a workaround to my own problem. I created the connection between my laptops and the printer using "IP Printing" instead of "Appletalk." I typed in the exact IP address of my printer and it works now. I think my router assigns IP addresses dynamically, so I may have to redo this every time my printer gets a new IP address, but at least I know how to make it work.

Got new router, now powerbook G3 pismo wont connect to it.

asked cable company to replace router as i was paying for 60 meg connection but due to moving my router to connect to my dreambox i realised that the router only had 802.11g wifi and so my computer wasnt able to connect fast enough to use the connection. when watching football or downloading big files i ran an ethernet cable across the room which wasnt ideal.
they replaced it with a new router capable of 802.11n today an rewired the cabling so both my mac and dreambox have ethernet connections.
when they were here i went to test it with wifes powerbook but battery was dead so i tested with my palm tx and it connected fine..
however...
wifes powerbook gives an error and wont connect. part of me thinks its due to the powerbook being 802.11b and the router not handling that, but my palm tx is 802.11b so thats not a reason surely? checked and psp, wii, nokia phone all connect but powerbook gives error.
if it is, can i just stick a pc usb 802.11g or n stick into the powerbook's usb (1) slot and make it connect?

Are you certain you connected all the way to the Internet with your palm, and not just to the Router?
cable company
The cable company has to perform a "deep reset" to allow you to use a new device with a new M.A.C. Address. Your connection was established with an older M.A.C. Address, and that (your old Router) is the only device that can be connected until they do this.
Call them and tell them, "I got a new computer, and you guys have to reset your equipment to accept the new device in place of the old one."
almost every 802.11n Router has a mode that will allow it to pause for an instant and "sniff" for slower devices. It slows your network down by an imperceptible amount. Not an issue in home networks. But you may have to configure it to do so.

Just set up a new router, now I can't print to my wireless printer!

Hi, so I'm really frustrated with this situation since I installed OS X Mountain Lion. I have a Samsung SCX-4623FW wireless printer, connected it to our wifi network (router: D-Link N 300 DIR-632). So it's all good, the wireless light is on so I know it's connected. I even printed out a configuration report to find out the IP address. Now my problem is, when I try to add a printer to my MacBook Pro (13" Inch, Late 2011) using the IP address and the following information:
Protocol: Line Printer Daemon - LPD
Use: Samsung SCX-4623FW Series (from Select Print Software...)
It says: Unable to verify the printer on your network.
Unable to connect to '[printer ip address]' due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?
And I hit continue in case the error doesn't affect the wireless installation of the printer, I tried to test print a page on the internet and the status message of the printer says: The printer is not responding.
So I reboot the computer, unplugged and reconnected the router AND modem and still nothing. I reset the settings on the printer, new IP address and everything. Still nothing. I can print via USB but I prefer wireless printing because there are 2 desktops, 2 laptops and multiple devices in the house and it's just not convenient.
Can anybody please help? I'm all out of ideas. Many thanks in advance.

Can any Macs in your home see the printer?
That is to say, is it just Mountain Lion that is having the problem?
What I'm wondering is if this is a router problem, or a Mountain Lion problem? I'm trying eliminate as many variables as possible.
Do you happen to know if the Samsung printer supports Bonjour (eg. Zeroconf) network discovery protocols? You could download "Bonjour Browser"
<http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/13388/bonjour-browser>
to see if the Mac can see your printer via Bonjour protocols.
Since you know the IP address of your printer, you could download "WakeOnLan" which will display every IP address is sees on your network, and check to see if it is in the list generated by WakeOnLan (NOTE: I do not want to wake anything up, but WakeOnLan does a really good job of finding and displaying every IP address is sees on the local network).

I tried to create new library, now iPhoto can't find them

i had so many photos in my iphoto library and it was taking forever to load up, so i wanted to create multiple libraries.
i first tried the following protocol from the help but couldn't find the 'Create Library' command in the toolbar.
1.Quit iPhoto.
2.Rename your current iPhoto Library folder in the Finder or move it to a new location on your hard disk.
3.Open iPhoto.
4.Click Create Library.
5.Type a name and choose a location for your new photo library.
6.Click Save.
then i manually tried to rename my original iPhoto Library file in the Pictures folder, and create a new folder where i dropped all the photos from 2006 and 2007 so i could just boot from my recent photos. i've learned since that tinkering with files manually in the iPhoto Library is a no-no, but how do i go back? i moved all of the folders with year names 2002-2007 back under the folder iPhoto Library, but i now have two folders. one called iPhoto Library and the other iPhoto Library 2. they are both within the Pictures folder and they each have copies dir.data, iphoto.db, iphoto.ipspot, iphotolock.data, etc.
Help! please!
thanks

If iPhoto does not recognize either library, then the data files may be messed up. I would create a new library and import the photos from the old library. This will get you back in the running.
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "import" button.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!

No plan showed up on my account management to cancel, so I called and got a number, now I can't find how to end this subscription

I logged on to my account when I received an E-mail telling me to fix my account payment settings. When I logged on there was no plan in my account management to cancel, so I called and received a number and assurance that this months charge would be canceled. I'm not sure where to enter this cancellation code or when my refund will be accommodated, so that is why I'm writing this today.
Thanks,

I installed a new router from my ISP provider and now I can't find my Time Capsule or "Guest" network. What do I need to do to correct this problem?

I installed a new (and supposedly better & stronger) router from my ISP provider (Verizon) and now I can't find my Time Capsule or "Guest" network.
My Mac is not backing up because it can't find my Time Capsule network & my "Guest" network has also disappeared.
What do I need to do to correct this problem?

You must reset the TC to factory and start over. The TC simply remembers too much from the previous setup to work in the new one.
If your new router is going to take the router role, then the TC will have to be bridged and you will lose your Guest wireless.. the way around this is to use the Verizon router as your guest wireless and the TC as your main wireless.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Factory reset Gen 5
Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.

I created a 2nd library for my husbands music and now I can't find my original library. I did hold down the shift key to open itunes but is still comes up with the new library. What am I doing wrong? I tried several times with no luck. Thank you.

I just got an Ipod Classic recently and downloaded Itunes. Got my music on my Ipod. My husband just got an Ipod Touch. I followed the directions on how to create a 2nd library and was able to load his music onto his Ipod. My problem is now I can not find my original library. I did what the directions said about holding down the shift key while opening Itunes and it still goes to the 2nd library that I created. How do i get my original library to come up? I tried several times with the same results. Please let me know what I need to do to be able to get into either library. Thank You.

Does the original library file still exist on the computer? Hopefully when creating the new library it was done in a seperate folder as I do not believe iTunes allows for two library files in the same location.

I've bought my 1st Mac, since than I've replaced my old disk to a new one - and at the lab they created my new admin's name as admin.. I've changed it after 'root'ing - and now I can't find my photos either at iPhoto/photo booth,what can I do to restore ?

Please I'll be thankfull.

I stated that I did try to do all of this when I first set up the new computer...I did do the Setup Assistant numerous times but my old computer kept freezing half way through. Even if I did it when I first got the new computer back in Septemeber, I would have had the same issue b/c my old computer has been 'broken' for a while. My old computer can't handle doing too much at once and I think the setup and then migration functions I tried were too much. That's why I was hoping I could use the migration function piecemeal. I wish I could just check off the exact files and folders I want vs. having to choose it at the 'user' level...that's too much for my old computer to have to transfer.

Got new router but can't connect to printer on ipad or mac

can't find air printer on ipad or mac since we got new router but were connected to router and wiifi on

Have you tried connecting to wifi, if you cant get those apps or facebook than most likely you are not connected to wifi. Please turn on your wifi connection button in your settings. Look for the a certain wifi and type in pass code and hopefully you should have those apps.

Moved my iTunes library to my new 2TB time capsule, now iTunes can't find the Time Capsule.

Had my iTunes library on my older 1TB Time Capsule. Just bought a 2TB Time Capsule. Moved all the music from the old to the new. But, iTunes tells me now it can't find the server. I've checked the location of the library on the iTunes preferences, to point iTunes to my server. I keep getting an error message that iTunes can't find my server. I've already added the folder on the server to my login preferences, like it was with the older Time Capsule.
I did everything exactly as before but now iTunes can't find my Time Capsule.
Should I have just pointed the login to the server and not the exact folder? I've been working on the solution for an hour now.. Please, can someone here help me?

What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?

Bought new HD and now iTunes can't find my music

I just bought a new FW HD, WD My Passport. I copied all of my music from my old USB 2.0 HD to the new one and now iTunes can't find all the songs. It'll play probably 40 or 50 songs but the rest of them show the "!" next to the song name. Right now the only thing I can do to show iTunes where the songs are without having to rebuild my playlists is to manually point it to each individual song but since but that would mean pointing it to over 14,000 songs......... I DID go in to the preferences and changed the folder location to the new HD and it still won't find the files. But strangely enough, when I have the old HD plugged in, as well as the new one, it'll play everything just fine, checking the preferences shows that iTunes is pointed to the new folder but "Get Info" on individual tracks shows iTunes finding the file in the old HD, unplug old HD and files cannot be found. Why doesn't the **** program look where I want it to and what do I have to do to fix it? I know my description here isn't crystal clear so I'll gladly answer any question to help clear it up a little. ANY help is very much appreciated as I do not want to spend the next 3 weeks teaching iTunes one song at a time. Thank you.

For moving your iTunes library, I recommend this method...
Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304447
If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

How did you change your user name?
resetpassword wouldn't have done it. If you managed to create a new user, then your data is still in the old account.

I paid for a rented film on my iPad, got the receipt but now i can't find the film and its not in my purchase history. Help!

If you rented and downloaded it on your iPad then it should be in the Videos app - if it doesn't show in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?
