How do I get CD/DVD to print on Epson printers?

I had an Epson R200, and when I had Panther it printed on CD/DVDs but it was always rather iffy. Sometimes it would and sometimes it wouldn't. However, since I have upgraded to 10.4.6, and now 10.4.7, it's just not working at all. I worked back and forth with Epson and they sent a different tray, and it worked a couple of times, and then it would work if I shut down the software and brought it up again, but would have to do it every time. Then the rollers or something started spinning as the tray went in and then would back up. I fussed with Epson and got nowhere, and finally gave up and got an R340 figuring it cost more it would work. First time out I got 4 printed, thought the problem was over. Now I go to print again and same thing, starts to enter about an inch, stops, something spins and then it backs out. Now, since two printers are doing essentially the same thing, it would seem to be some glitch with the software and the OSX??????

Hi Pamela
Sorry to hear about the problem; I really believe the problem is with the printer mechanism itself, and not software related. My 2-year old R200 finally gave up the ghost this month (though I've been able to get two disc prints out of it in that time), and its performance was always inconsistent. Same thing you described, with the tray spitting out, and from what I've heard from others, I'm lucky I got the productivity I did out of it.
I'm now desperately looking for another machine that will do the job; was thinking of getting the other model you mentioned, but after reading of your experience, I think I'll avoid Epson altogether and just start saving up my quarters for a Bravo II. Unfortunately, right now there don't seem to be a lot of alternatives for us Mac users.
But to repeat, I don't think it's Mac system software; the two labels I printed were done since the current update. It's just basically cheap inket technology.

how do i get a dvd on to my iphone

What media was it recorded on? If it's a VHS tape, look into a "capture card" like the Dazzle series. If you recorded on DVD, use Handbrake or a similar program to compress it into an mpeg4 or other video file compatible with iTunes.

Hold down the mouse button or trackpad clicker as you start up.
If no joy, restart and hold the Option key. This brings up the Startup Manager, which will draw an Icon for each bootable Volume. When all are drawn, the Eject key is "live".

I am using a Dell PC with Windows 7 Professional as the Operating System.

File > Page Setup = Scale
The Scale control is what controls the size of what is printed to paper. 100% is usually the best setting.

How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

Pages v5 does not provide a user assignable word count variable. With some AppleScript, and a paste operation from the clipboard, you can have locale punctuated word count in this format: 7,803 — anywhere in your document. The following AppleScript works with Pages '09 v4.3 through Pages v5.5.2 on Yosemite.
I would suggest that you copy paste the following AppleScript into your [Apple] Script Editor and save it (suggestion) wordcnt.applescript. Then, follow this with an option+Save As… and this time set the File format to Script Bundle, or Application with hidden extension — saved to your Desktop. Provided you have a Pages document open, you are then a double-click from the ability to paste your current word count into Pages.
Note: If you have Pages word count display enabled, it will automatically count your pasted value as another word which initially may deceive on true word count at the time the script was run.
AppleScript
--- copy below this line ---
property locale : "en_US.UTF-8" -- In Terminal, use the locale command to see yours
if not ApplicationIsRunning("Pages") then
     display dialog "Pages must be running to use this utility."
     return quit
end if
tell application "Pages"
    tell body text of front document
        set wordCnt to count words
        -- Don't want punctuated numbers? Remove the single quote from printf format
        set the clipboard to (do shell script "export LC_ALL=" & locale & "; printf \"%'d\" " & wordCnt)
    end tell
end tell
on ApplicationIsRunning(appName)
     tell application "System Events" to set appNameIsRunning to exists (processes where name is appName)
     return appNameIsRunning
end ApplicationIsRunning

How do I get my iPad to print to my wireless printer?

How do I get my iPad to print to my wireless printer?

If your printer (which you did not identify in your post) is an AirPrint printer, it should work out of the box as long as everything is set up correctly and working properly.
AirPrint printers are listed here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
If you don't have an AirPrint printer, you need a third party app. There are several in the App Store that you can check out.
You can also use your computer as a print server in order to print from the iPad with Printopia for Mac, or Print Magic for Windows.

How do I get my iPad to print on my Canon MP495?

You need to get a third party app in order to use that printer. It is not AirPrint compatible. It way be a wireless printer, but if it is not AirPrint compatible, you need a third party app. Ther AirPrint printers are listed here and your printer is not on it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
Search the App Store for printing apps..... Print Central, Print Bureau and others are available. Canon may make their own printing app. You can also download apps to your computer so that you can use the computer as the print server. Look at Print Magic for Windows - assuming you use Window.
