How do I get Mac to join Airport network on startup?

I have been using my Airport with Panther for years. On startup, it always connected to the Airport and the black bars appeared in the menubar. After upgrading to Tiger, the bars are greyed out on startup and I have to click on the Network name in the drop-down menu to connect. I have upgraded my software to no avail. I have also clicked on what I think are all the right choices in the Network section of System Prefs. Is there something simple that I am overlooking? Do I have to insert something into Startup Items or what? Thanks for any help.

How do I get Mac App Store on my computer? I have 10.5.8 OS. If I need to upgrade first how do I do that? It says that my software is updated.

How do I get Mac App Store on my iMac? I have 10.5.8 OS. If I need to upgrade first how do I do that? It says that my software is updated.

And once you get Mac OS X 10.6 installed, update it to at least 10.6.6 which was the first version to include the Mac App Store (the latest version is 10.6.8). The DVD you get will almost certainly be only 10.6.3. You can update from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 via Software Update, or you can download a standalone Combo updater (Support tab above, then Downloads).

Not sure which driver you mean when you say "the driver in the Mac's list". Apple does not provide a driver for this device, so if you mean one of the default printers that are included with 10.6, like the Generic Postscript or Generic PCL, then these will only work if the optional PS or PCL print kits were installed in the machine. Given your inability to print then it would seem that you have neither kit installed. So this would require you to install the Canon UFR2 driver, which you can obtain via this link.
With the UFR2 driver installed, you add the printer using IP > LPD. Enter the IP address of the iRC2380, leave the Queue name blank and change the Name to iRC2380. Leave the Location field blank and in the Print Using menu, browse to the "Canon iR C2380/2550 UFR II (UK)". Click OK and then Add to complete the queue creation. You should now be able to print. Please reply if it does not work.

Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability. How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

If it's a Mac font and you're on Windows, you can't. If you are also on a Mac, you'll need to purchase the fonts (fonts are generally non-transferable, like software. One of the reasons pdf exists), install them and try your edits.
But it's best to edit the original document and create a new pdf when finished.

How can I get Mac mail to open winmail.dat attachments on lion 10.7.3

How can I get Mac mail to open letter attachments winmail.dat?? (Lion 10.7.3) Any help appreciated...

Sorry peterskine,
it's true in part. There's more then one article on the subject "Recipients receive a winmail.dat attachment":
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook-help/recipients-receive-a-winmail-dat- attachment-HA010153018.aspx?CTT=1
The odd thing is that my colleague and me use the same release mountain lion and we received the same email from someone on Outlook2007. He received the mail with the attachment, whilst I saw a "Winmail.dat". It already happened to me on snow-leopard, some month ago. Up til today I don't know what the difference between our machines is.
But it is interesting: the same OS, the same mail-clients (Apple Mail) and still different results.
Note: on my machine it used to work properly. It just suddenly happened that I started to receive winmail.dat files in stead of proper attachments.
When I have more time on hand, I cant try to find out why this happens.

Unable to join Airport Network

I am being baffled by a network problem.
I have 2 Macs, a MBP 17 inch running Snow Leopard and an old Powerbook G4 running 10.4. Both connect to a no security (ie no password wireless) network at home. "Suddenly" the MBP will not join the wireless network (A DSL model D-Link). Error message when running diagnostics of "Unable to join Airport network.....". The G4 works just fine.
Have tried rebooting both devices ie the MBP and the D-Link. The MBP will work fine with a cable attached to the D-Link but not wirelessly!
Also, the MBP can see the Powerbook in the FINDER under "Shared".
Any ideas?
Thanks
BF

Yeah, thanks Bob, I got my MBP Safari to talk to D-Link via the http://10.1.1.1 address, put in a WEP password. Saved the changes and restarted the router. When I connect via Airport it asks for a password - I type it in then it times out. Then I went to the Powerbook and the Vista machine and they connected fine. I used my iphone and told it the password and it also worked fine.
I prefixed it on my MBP with $ and without $ - all to no avail. I am starting to think maybe the MBP wants a WPA password for some reason. It worked fine until last night! Very strange indeed. Any more ideas?
What gets me is that one moment it works and the next it is dead as a dodo...

Unable to join airport network - Totally perplexing

Hi
I work remotely from home. I have an intel iMac as my desktop and a macbook for when I am out and about. For a few days now I have been having enormous problems with my internet connection. I use Airport Express (n) to connect via my modem in another room.
I cannot get any connection to the internet on my iMac, yet I connect fine on my Macbook sitting 6 inches from it, both using the same Express.
When I run network diagnostics on the Imac it goes through the usual checks, green buttons up to 'Internet' and then asks what network to join, scans and finds the network that my Macbook is on. I type in the password and I get an 'Unable to join Airport Network' Trust me the password is right and I have checked it via keychain.
I am completely perplexed why two computers using the same wifi settings a few days have changed where only one can.
Any thoughts?
Thanks Jon

To rule out wireless encryption, if you temporarily disable encryption on your 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station's (AXn) wireless network, can the iMac connect now? If so, try using WPA2 Personal for your encryption setting and try again. How about now?

How to connect my mac book pro to network printer Canon IR 2010f?

I'm desperate to know how to connect my Mac book Pro to network printer Canon IR 2010f. This printer has an independent system, therefore, no need a PC to be on, in order to print. But this printer is a network printer. Help me please.

The Canon UFR2 v2.20 driver for Mac OS X does not list the iR2010F as a supported model. The same is so for the Canon PS driver so I therefore believe this model is PCL5e only.
What you should do is open Safari and type the IP address of the iR2010F. This will connect to the internal web page of the copier and from the provided pages you should be able to see what printer languages are supported.
If it only lists PCL then you will be able to print to this copier using the Generic PCL driver included with 10.6.
So if you open Print & Fax, click + to add and then select IP > LPD for the protocol you can then enter the IP address of the iR2010F and leave the queue name blank. For the name you can change that to iR1020F and for the Print Using, select Generic PCL Laser Printer.
One note with regards to this driver. It is defaulted to 300dpi so you will need to open the print dialog when you do print and change the resolution to 600dpi to get better print quality.

HT201335 How do I get airplay to display more networks?

I'm in my corporate office and there are 30 or so airplay networks. I need to connect to a network that is not in the default list that appears. How do I get airplay to display more networks?

It should display the closest ones. I would ask someone around your office what the name(SSID) of the WIFI network that is your company(some "hide" the network). Just press "other" and manually type it in with the password. The ipad will automatically connect to it from now on.
Edit: Or just go for a nice stroll around the building until it pops on the list. The list updates every few seconds or so(wheel turns..) Exercise too
