  • How do I connect my mac to t-moble hot spot on my android

    how do I connect my mac to t-moble hot spot on my android

    Hi bubbamartin,
    As an iPhone user I'm not too familiar with Android, however I have had a browse and came across a great article which explains in detail How to Use Your Android Phone as a Portable WiFi Hotspot
    Turn on the Portable WiFi Hotspot:
    Go to the Settings screen on your Android phone. You can get there by pressing the menu button on your device when you're on the home screen, then tapping "Settings".
    At the Settings screen, tap the "Wireless & networks" option.
    You should see an option for "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot". Click the check mark beside it to turn on the hotspot and your phone will start acting like a wireless access point. (You should see a message in the notification bar when it's activated.)
    To adjust and check the settings for the hotspot, tap the aptly named "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings" option. You'll need to do this if you don't know the default password that will be created for your hotspot so you can make a note of it for connecting your other devices.
    You can change the default password, security level, router name (SSID), and also manage users connected wirelessly to your phone in the Wi-Fi hotspot settings.
    Now your Hotspot is set up, go to your Macs Wireless Settings, you should be able to see your Android device listen in the available networks. Enter the password which you can edit in the 'Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings' to connect and you're all set!
    Tips and Considerations:
    Make sure you turn off the Wi-Fi hotspot feature when you no longer need shared Internet access from the other devices, since this can drain your cell phone's battery significantly.
    By default, the portable Wi-Fi hotspot will most likely be set up with WPA2 security and a generic password. If you're using this feature in a public place or concerned about hackers trying to intercept your data, it's best to change the password to something else before broadcasting your signal.
    Keep in mind again that your cell phone company might charge extra for this feature and/or have data restrictions on its usage, so make sure you check your plan or with your carrier for more information.
    Good luck!

  • How can I make my Mac Book Pro print to a Panasonic KX-MB772?

    How can I make my Mac Book Pro OSX 6.8 talk to a Panasonic KX-MB772 printer?

    You can't. The KX-MB722 is one of the few remaining printers in the class of devices called "Windows Printers" that has no on-board printing software -- it relies on a host computer to provide all of the software functionality and Panasonic only provides such software for certain versions of Microsoft Windows. In this case, it means a 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows (2000-XP, though it will probably reliably on Windows versions up to 7). Note that these devices are not guaranteed compatible with future versions of Windows either (Panasonic has already dropped software support for this model).
    I'm pretty sure that the device doesn't support remote printing without the software either (e.g., you can't setup a computer with Windows on it, share the printer, and then print to the shared printer without their software).

  • How do I make a Mac forget it's ever been set up?

    Does anyone know how I can make a Mac forget that it's ever been turned on, so that if it were booted up, it would go into the Setup Assistant as if it were new? I remember seeing a page on this on Google, but I can't find it any more.

    Zeroing the hard drive means writing zeros to the drive to remove all data (fast erasing just removes the index file, but keeps the data). You can do it in Disk Utility, under Erase > Options.
    If you already created the account and you made a mistake in the true name (the one which allows capitals and spaces) you can correct it via the Accounts preferences. If you made a mistake in the user name which is used in the home directory name, you can create a new user, make that one an administrator, and remove the old user.

  • How do I get my Mac air to recognise my HP c4580 printer?

    I am trying to print an article (stored with Pages) using an HP photosmart printer C4580 but it says it is searching for the printer (which is connected by USB to the Mac Air) but cannot find it.
    Also I can't seem to find Bonjour (which I have always relied on to recognise the various printers I can use).
    How can I make the printer recognised?
    Can I download Bonjour from somewhere? Would that help?

    Bonjour is built-in to OS X. No download is needed.
    Safari has a Bonjour browser which you can activate by opening Safari Preferences, selecting Advanced and enabling one of the Bonjour entries to add a Bookmark. If you then select the Bookmark, all devices on your local network that are advertising themselves with Bonjour will be shown.
    With regards to the Air not finding the printer attached via USB, you can open System Information and select USB in the left column. The top right pane will show all the USB busses on the Air and if the printer and its USB cable are working correctly, then the printer should be listed under one of the USB busses. Do you see it? If not, try another USB printer cable.
