  • Cannot get printer to work with iMac

    I cannot get my Epson printer to work with my iMac , It just keeps saying it cannot find printer.
    All the other settings are correct , its just the server that fails. I have downloaded printer files ,
    sometimes it does recongise it and works, then it stops, I have tried downloading the program again but it makes no difference.
    Need to use printer and scanner for my job, and this is driving me mad!!

    It sounds like BT's hardware may have a firewall that's blocking more than it should.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
    is the printer/scanner listing from Apple.
    Use this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1398 to get the latest Epson drivers if your printer/scanner is compatible.
    If it isn't, here are some alternatives from my macmaps page:
    Epson, alternate Australian site may have more up-to-date drivers for Epson, Epson RIP and colormatching drivers from iProof Systems, Guten-Print (formerly known as Gimp-print), and Printfab. http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/

  • Help! Cannot get sensor to work; bought a new one

    Please help! Am frustrated! I have a 1st gen Nano with Nike +. I didn't use it for quite a while and then the receiver did not recognize my sensor (thought it was my sensor). Realized that if you don't put them to sleep it can die, so I bought a new sensor. Ipod recognizes the receiver (shows up on the menu) so I went to link the new sensor by going to the linking feature, walked around a bit like it tells you to do, and then it said sensor not recognized. Tried a few times, made sure it wasn't asleep, etc. So I thought maybe it was my receiver that was having a problem since that sat in a drawer idle for some time also. So, I just bought a new receiver with a new sensor package and I am still having the same problem. It doesn't recognize the sensor. Says my Ipod is already linked to a sensor. I even tried to unpair the sensor and then did an Ipod sync, but to no avail, still not working. Help what am I doing wrong? It used to work just fine and I love it. Is there a way to uninstall the Nike software from my Ipod and then re-install it? Don't care if lose data. Thank you!!!!

    I had this same problem so I decided to call the Apple Support people and they solved my problem. Here is what the woman told me to do....
    1. Hold down center button and menu button on iPod until the Apple Logo appears and then let go
    2. Hold down the sensor's button for 5 seconds then press it twice one after another quickly, so hold for 5 then click click
    3. Put the sensor in your shoe
    4. Put the receiver into iPod and go to Nike+ iPod > Settings > Link then click center button to link to new sensor
    5. Walk around and the receiver should pick up on the sensor
    This should work. GOOD LUCK

  • Is there a way to reset my messages account, I can't get iMessage to work on IPad nor Mac osx. Help please this is really frustrating.

    Hi,
    Is there an iPhone involved ?
    If not, what happens  if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
    What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
    Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?
    In Messages 7 (Mountain Lion) this did not seem to be important but it seems it is in Mavericks/Messages 8

    It won't work or just won't install?
    Which OS, browser(s), and anti-virus software are you using?
    If you're using the free Avira AntiVir(us) Personal software, then deactive the Webguard feature first before installing the Flash Player.

  • IMessage problem - Cannot get it to work

    iMessage problem - I cannot get iMessage to sync. I have a iPhone 4 and iPad 2 both on iOS 5. everything else works fine. I cannot get the iMessage to sync. Both have the same @me id. if I try to add another email I get "iMessage Activation Unable to veryify email because it is already in use." Going crazy for 2 days any ideas?

    I'm guessing, but the email address is used as a unique address, (it's easier with an iPhone as it has a phone number). This error could be saying that another iTunes userid has linked with that email address.  That is only possible if they verified it.
    Do you have two AppleIDs / iTunes IDs in the house, but a family (shared) email address?
    Simple solution then would be to create a new gmail email address and use that.

I cannot get anything to work. Help! I am so frustrated with our iphones, that I am ready to switch to different phones for my entire family. Please help!!!

    Did you check your security software settings, to make sure iTunes can contact Apple servers during the restore process?

    As an IT person, I can put my hands up to the same difficulty.  Then on double clicking on Home button, find AirTV symbol amongst Music control
    Solved my problem having spent hours looking for a complicated answer.  Well done Apple for hiding it so well.
