How can I get iMac to recognize Canon Pixma mp990 printer wirelessly?

Although my Canon Pixma MP990 printer/scanner shows I've properly set it up for wifi, and the blue wifi light illuminates on the printer, my iMac now refuses to recognize that my printer is connected. Imac now shows the printer as offline. When the printer was set up for corded/wired connection, the Imac worked fine with it. How can I get iMac to recognize the wireless printer setup? Thanks!

Hi ..
Click here > Canon U.S.A. : Support & Drivers : PIXMA MP990
Then click Wireless Help
Make sure the printer is recognized in System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print
If not, download and install the drivers designated for the mp990 model.
In the System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print window, click + (plus) to add the printer.

How can I get iMovie to recognize the external camera?

iMAC running OSX 10.6.8 recognizes external HD Camera hardware, but iMovie fails to recognize the device. I can copy files "manually" using Finder, but cannot import them directly into iMovie. How can I get iMovie to recognize the camera? I have already re-booted all devices and tried multiple USB ports. In all cases the OS recognizes the camera, but iMovie does not.

OK This camcorder is a fine camcorder. I have an earlier model of a similar camcorder from Panasonic. However, this newer model has one problem. It is not compatible with iMovie if you shoot at the highest quality mode, (which is 60P or 50P - which might be called 28MBPS mode). If you shoot 30P or 30i (even 60i) it will import to iMovie. Also, iMovie can handle 1280x720P60 and P50.
It will definitely work on iMovie 11. It should probably work on iMovie 09. I doubt this camera will be recognized at all on iMovie 08, but it is worth a try. To see which iMovie you have, click iMovie/About and check the version. 9.04 would be iMovie 11. (9.08 is the current version, but it will not run on OSX 10.6.8). 8.06 would be iMovie 09. 7.1.4 would be iMovie 08.
OK So how to work around this limitation?
1) If you have Final Cut Pro X ($300) or can justify buying it, it will import 60P and 50P from this camera. However, if this seems a little pricey to you, keep reading.
2) If you set your camera to record in 1080P30 and shoot a short clip, then iMovie should see the camera. Then I would suggest using iMovie import screen to create a CAMERA ARCHIVE of your camera. This will copy to your Mac the entire contents of the video files on your camera. You will need them later. I am assuming you have some valuable footage on the camera that you would like to have.
3) Going forward, the simplest thing is to shoot in 1920x1080P30 and use iMovie normally. The biggest advantage of P60 or P50 is when you need really high quality slow motion effects. In other words, after you edit your movie, everything is converted to P30 or P25 anyway.
4) If you want to retrieve the 1080P50 or 1080P60 clips that you have shot, then there are a couple of apps you can buy to convert them to a form that iMovie can edit. Two such apps are ClipWrap and Voltaic HD. There are also various free apps, but I cannot vouch for them. Do a search on google and you may find some that work.

How can I get iTunes to recognize the apps that are missing from the library screen but still on the machine??

My apps are not showing-up in the iTunes library but they are present in the apps folder. How can I get iTunes to recognize their presence?
Library-Apps-All (only three of several hundred appear).
Apps are still present in Users-Music-Mobile Applications
I am running iTunes 11.0, OS X 10.8.2 on a Mac Pro.
Ran Disk Utility, Techtool, Disk Warrior and then reinstalled Mountain Lion, updated it and repaired permissions. No change.
There is a file that says 'iTunes Library (damaged), which is the iTunes Database file. How can that file be re-created?
Any technical help on replacing that file with a new, fresh one would be appreciated!

It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of media and other important files. If you chose to reinstall the OS without having a backup, well that just is not smart.
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, iTunes purchases can be redownloaded via iCloud. Simply log into the iTunes store, select purchases, purchase history and redownload the content.
If you are not in the US.... well, seems you just learned and important and possibly expensive lesson.

That camera model has been supported since ACR 8.3 and it is most certainly supported by ACR 8.6 and ACR 8.7 (beta).
Either you have damaged, corrupt image files, or a faulty Photoshop and/or ACR installation.
If there are no privacy issues, you can post one of your files to the FTP service of your choice (such as Dropbox or yousendit.com), post the link to it, and someone here can take a look at it for you.

How can I get RoboHelp to recognize my FrameMaker installation?

I have Technical Suite 3.5 installed and several RoboHelp projects linked to FrameMaker books.
The Frame books were created in FrameMaker 10. I then upgraded to Technical Suite 3.5, then later upgraded my FrameMaker to 11.
All was well, RoboHelp continued to update from the Frame book files.
Then last week my hard disk crashed. IT provided a new disk, installed the Technical Suite and FrameMaker 11, but now when I open the RoboHelp projects and try to update them, RoboHelp displays an error message that says "Adobe FrameMaker 10 is not installed. No FrameMaker documents can be updated."
When I try to relink the project to FrameMaker (File | Link), I get a similar message: "This operation cannot be completed without FrameMaker 10. Install FrameMaker 10 and try again."
How can I get RoboHelp to recognize my FrameMaker 11 installation, which it used to do prior to the crash and reinstallation?
Thanks.
Jerry

We also cannot get Robohelp to recognize our FrameMaker installation.
We are using Robohelp 9 and Framemaker 11.
We are in the process of moving all of our Robohelp content to Framemaker, but our project team still needs CHM files for the next release or so. So we figured we could move our content to Frame 11, then import the Frame content into Robohelp when we needed to generate the CHM files.
The process works great when we use RH 10 and Frame 11, but we get the following error when we use RH 9:
"This operation cannot be completed without FrameMaker. Install FrameMaker and try again."
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Frame 11 and RH 9, but am still getting the same error. Buying a set of new Robohelp 10 licenses probably isn't an option.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Sue

Try a different FW800 cable and also try doing a SMC reset. If neither work try another FW800 device to see if it's recognized, if it is then you know it's not the Mac it's probably the EHD.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

My I phone 3GS keeps saying no sim. How can I get it to recognize the SIM card?

My iPhone keeps saying No SIM. How can I get it to recognize the SIM card?

TRy removing the sim card wipe it clean then insert it again. Your sim card tray might be dusty. Another option is turning your airplane mode on and off.
btw, is your network signal strong in the area where you are currently? Ask ATT if there is any area outage

I ran out of space on my icloud so my phone could no longer back up. I have now deleted lots from my phone, how can I get icloud to recognize this so it will complete a back up.

A. Have you gone in to 'manage your iCloud?', and have you rebooted your iPhone. I think the idea is to delete yor previous backups and start with a new one.

Connecting Canon Pixma 860 Printer Wirelessly

OK, I give up! Can someone please give me the steps on how to connect my Canon Pixma 860 printer wirelessly to my iMac? I am running Snow Leopard, all drivers are up to date, and I have a 2Wire AT&T modem/router. I've Googled, "forumed", called tech support and prayed, to no avail. This can't be this difficult! I would greatly appreciate assistance on this. It's now become a matter of principle to me. Thanks all....

Modesto:
I have a Pixma 800 and I assume setting up yours is the same as mine. You have to connect the printer to the computer via USB cable directly and set it up wired with the setup disc that came with the printer. After you've done this disconnect the USB cable from the computer and connect it to the USB port of your router. In my case, it is the Airport Extreme station. I'm not sure after this but I would go to System Preferences under the Apple and then click on printer and Fax. If you do not find the printer there, click on the "+" and after a time, the printer should show up because the printer driver has been downloaded. I don't know if your printer driver has been downloaded with the Apple OS software. Then click on the Pixma 800 which should show up and then click add. I'm not sure about the rest but you must first make a direct USB connection between the printer and the computer. I hope this starts you on the way.
