How Do Configure Mac OS 10.6.4 to print on PC running Windows XP?

Before I upgraded to 10.6 I could print on the Windows machine without a problem. Now I can't even see PC on my Mac. I am connecting through a Linksys G Router.
I followed the instructions listed here for OS 10.5: http://macs.about.com/od/macwindows/ss/sharewinprinter.htm but when it came to the step to click on the PC in my workgroup, I could not see the PC.
Would be most grateful for any suggestions.

If you can see the workgroup but after selecting it the PC name does not appear then this is odd. One suggestion could be that the PC is using a different workgroup name to workgroup - such as MSHome. You could check this on the PC by right-clicking the Computer icon and selecting Properties.
Whatever name the PC is using for the workgroup you can set the Mac to use the same. If you open System Preferences > Network and select the interface that you are using on the Mac (Ethernet or Airport) you can then select the Advanced tab and then open the WINS tab. In the Workgroup drop menu you can then select the workgroup name that the Mac can use.
If changing the workgroup name to be the same as the PC still doesn't help (note that it can take 15 minutes for the master browser to pass information throughout the local network) then there is a manual method you can use that bypasses the browsing function.
With the Print & Fax > Add Printer window open, if you control-click the toolbar you can select to 'Customize Toolbar'. You will then see the Advanced icon which you can drag into the toolbar (next to the Windows icon will be fine). If you now select the Advanced icon you can then change the Type drop menu to Windows. Then in the URL field, after smb://, you can enter the IP address or name of the PC followed by a / and then the shared name for the printer. For example,
smb://windows-xp/mp980
You can then enter a name for the printer and in the Print Using menu you can select the appropriate driver. This is another important point as many of the vendor supplied drivers do not support this type of network connection. Instead you may need to use the Gutenprint driver suite that is included with 10.6.
Hope this helps you. If you get stuck then describe where you are up to and we'll get back to you with more help.

How to configure mac book pro with Logic 9?

I would like to run Logic 9 on a Mac Book Pro (13", 2.9 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 750 GB HD) as a secondary development platform (for composing while away from my primary system), and do it on the cheap. So I would like to do this without having to buy an audio interface or sound card. I need to do only the following:
1. Direct Logic output (both software instrument tracks and audio tracks) to the audio-out jack (NOT built-in speakers), and
2. Record with a USB (or firewire) microphone to an audio track on the same project which is playing software instruments and possibly other audio tracks thru the audio-out jack.
Is it possible to configure mac/logic this way without an additional interface?
Thanks.

1) When you plug speakers into the audio out jack, all audio is automatically routed from the internal speakers to the Audio Out jack...
2) Most USB mics are class compliant and so you just plug them in and they work in Logic without any config in Logic needed.
So, to answer you question, for your needs, you don't need an audio interface.

How to configure Mac Mini (Late 2014) for Seiki 39in at 4K (3840x2160)?

Other users have successfully configured Seiki 50in 4K monitors, but (Yosemite 10.10.1) Preferences does not display any 4K resolutions, even when Option-Clicking the Scale Display choice. Mac Mini and monitor can be returned in next few days if solution can't be found. Any tips?

Mac Mini and monitor can be returned in next few days if solution can't be found.
According to every report I've seen, there is no way to drive a 4K monitor from a mini at more than 30 Hz refresh, which is usually considered inadequate for use as a desktop. Even if you can get the display to work, you likely won't be satisfied with it.

How can I get the iTunes Store to open on my PC running Windows 7?

I have upgraded iTunes software for my iPod Touch and my PC. iTunes store will not open on my PC. Is it supposed to open to purchase items or do I have to use the iPod Touch for all of this.

A message appears stating that iTunes has stopped working. This happens everytime. I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it and still the same thing happens. Is the problem in windows or the new iTunes that came out in October. The computer has worked in the past, but I not had a need to go to the iTunes Store for several weeks and now I can't get to it from my PC. It works fine from my iPod Touch. This is my only Apple Device and it may be my only one to ever purchase if this is an example of the Apple service.
I apologize on the lateness of this response, but I am not real adept at using sites such as this. Just now figured out how to respond to a reply without going around the world.

How do I reinstall the HTA program on a system that's running Windows 7 Pro?

I’m writing on behalf of my father, a small business owner that relies extensively on his ability to utilize the tools via the GUI interface for his HP printer.
He contacted HP and they informed him that an HTA program is required to be installed on his system in order for the HP software to work.
This program, HTA (mshta.exe) should be installed with the most recent IE iteration on the system. He has IE 9.0.
His profile has protected Admin privileges however he is unable to run the HP software when he double clicks on the icon.
However, I have full admin privileges but when I attempt to launch the program, it opens up two notepad files with HTML code inside.
I check the “file types” list under the folder options and found that “.hta” was in the list but was associated to notepad vice the normal HTML application program.
I made and attempt to associate it to the HTA.exe in the sys32 folder but the HP software continues to open up in notepad.
I’ve scoured the internet and Technet but haven’t been able to find any articles on how to resolve this.
I have a mitigation plan in place to get him through while I find answers, but in the world of a small business…time is money.
Thanks for understanding,
Regghen

Hi,
Have you tried
right-clicking the HP files and choose “open with…”?
Click Start>Default Programs>Associate a file type or protocol with a program, check the Current Default for .hta. The default program to open
.hta files should be Microsoft (R) HTML Application host (mshta.exe).
Use
System File Checker tool to scan the system.
You may try installing the HP software on another computer and see if the issue persists.

How do I sign a MsWord document on a HP Slate 500 running Windows 7

This may be a simple question, but I need to put hand written signatures into word documents. I'm using a HP Slate with Windows 7 Pro. The writing capture tool turns it into text. Is there a way to leave it as a hand written signature. I'm using either MS Office XP or 2007.

How do I add additional internal hard drives to Pavilion h8-1217c running Windows 7 Home Premium

I am stymied in my effort to utilize two recently wiped and formatted Hitachi Deskstar 500 GB SATA drives I inherited from my previous HP desktop. I have installed them in my aforementioned unit, and find that the BIOS apparently accurately identifies them, but I cannot see them in Windows. Instead, in Disk Management, a disk with twice the capacity is listed, and the system does not allow me to initialize the drives, an apparent step necessary before they can be assigned a drive letter and utilized. Upon selecting to initialize, the Disk Management program of Windows presents an Virtual Disk Manager error message saying "The system cannot find the file specified," a message the specificity of which is slightly wanting. Huh? What system? Windows? The drive? Help? BTW, this particular frustration is well documented among a number of users on the internet. Why has no answer been provided yet?

Don't know what you mean about a link indicating this is an issue with the HP Pavilion h8-1217c...I posted that it is a general issue with a number of computers, many of them HP, wherein the error message I earlier cited came up. To answer your particular subsequent query, in Storage Options in my BIOS, it states that the SATA Emulation is AHCPI, not IDE...a setting I believe is appropriate in this case, since, as I had stated previously (I often find that I have stated, and clearly, previously) that the two additional drives I have installed in this box are Hitachi Deskstar 500GB SATA drives from a previous HP system. Both drives were wiped and reformatted by a local computer shop that was delighted to charge me $60 for that particular piece of heavy lifting, defending their bill by suggesting they woudl have to update the firmware as a matter of course. Upon getting the drives, they freely confessed that, of course, it was NOT necessary to upgrade firmware. I di-grease! To reiterate, both drives are recognized by the BIOS, with their appropriate ser no listed. It is in Windows 7 where the problem seems to crop up. Of course, as a Windows 7 issue, HP is supposed to support it. An earlier post in this forum...a reply to me...gave me a link to instructions on how to disengage the cage that holds the drives. I have, indicated by my posts, moved WELL beyond that point. Is anyone familiar with my issue...again, it is this...with the above stated conditions, when in Disk Management in Windows, with the drives recognized in Device Manager as one drive listed as "Volume_000," I am faced with an immediate pop up box telling me to initialize the drive, either as MBR or GPT. I chose MBR, though it matters not which I choose, since upon clicking OK, another popup box identified as "Virtual Disk Manager" tells me that "The system cannot find the file specified."
This delightful cul de sac is frequently cited on the internet, with no clear answer as to a resolution anywhere that I could find. Can someone help with this. This ought not to be so difficult, nor should HP be sending me around the bend, making ludicrous statements like "you should not be adding internal drives to your computer" or "we cannot cover this issue unless you pay a fee!" A FEE!! I just bought this system within the last three months. I have purchased several desktop and laptop systems and their accessories from this computer giant in the last 7 years! Do they give a flying-you-know-what about their customers?

How do I transfer photos from iPhone 6 Plus to my PC running Windows 8.1?

When I connect the iPhone 6 Plus to the PC it doesn't recognised it, except for iTunes which it sync and automatically backup.
My issue is I want to move the photos from my iP6+ to reduce the size of my backup so I can free up space for my PC.
In the previous iPhone models, I would usually see a folder where I can see the iPhone photo folders but for the iP6+ its not there.

Hi Caoski,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The first thing we need to figure out is why the PC is not recognizing your iPhone 6 Plus. This article provides some possible solutions:
