Get an Airport Express to plug in near the printer. Connect an Ethernet or USB cable from the printer to the Airport Expres. Use Airport Utility to configure the AEX to Join an Existing Network.

How do I make my printer work wirelessly from my Apple Mac?

I have recently changed my router. I have an Apple Mac and a Canon Pixma MP620 printer. I can't seem to set it up so that the printer works wirelessly. The old router is still listed on the printer so I need to change that first. Can anyone help?

If you open System Preferences, Printers and Scanners, then the Canon Printer Options and Supplies, do you have a button for Open Printer Webpage? You should be able to do the setup of the printer, that is change the network settings, from there.

HT3500 how do i make my printer connect to a new SSID

I have a new wireless address, and my printer's setting is the old wireless SSID. so my printer is not connected.... how do i make the printer to connect my new SSID??

You have a printer question, not an AirPort question. No adjustments need to be made on the AirPort if wireless is working for other devices.
Check the documentation that came with your printer to see how to reset the device back to the original default settings it was using when it was new.
Then, configure the printer to connect to the "new" network....just like you did when you configured it to connect to the "old" network.
If you need more info, you need to contact support at the printer manufacturer.

How can I make a "print screen" on my iMac?

How can I make a Print Screen of my iMac? Also catching only a portion of the video?

Hello redlion53,
It sounds like you would like to take screenshots of either the entire screen or a portion of the screen. This article outlines how to perform this function:
OS X: Taking pictures of your screen
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5775
Take a picture of your entire screen
Press Command (⌘)-Shift-3. The screen shot is added to your desktop.
Take a picture of some of your screen
Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, and then drag the crosshair pointer to select the area. Hold Shift, Option, or the Space bar while you drag to resize the selection area. To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you release the mouse button.
Take a picture of a specific window
Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, press the Space bar, move the camera pointer over the window to highlight it, and then click.
This works with open Finder windows and most application windows.
To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.
Take a picture of a menu
Click the menu to reveal its contents, then press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and drag the crosshair pointer over the area.
To take a picture of the menu without the title, hover over the menu, press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and the Space bar.
To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.
Additional Information
In Mac OS X v10.6 and later, the screenshots are saved as PNG files on the desktop. They are automatically named "Screen shot (date and time).png".
You can also take pictures of the screen using the Grab app.
Some apps, such as DVD Player, may not let you take pictures of their windows.
To capture a partial screen or a window selection to the Clipboard instead of a desktop file, use Command-Shift-Control-4.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

How can I make my printer airprint compatible so I can print from my iPad air?

How can I make my printer airprint compatible so I can print from my iPad air?

If you have a Mac, you can usually install an application like Printopia to allow the iPad to print to your printer.
There is a free trial, so you will know if Printopia works for you before you buy. Details here:
Printopia - Ecamm Network
There are other apps that do the same things, but I have not tried them, so cannot comment on them.

How can I make my print job go fast again?

How can I make my print job go fast again? Since february when there was a update for snow leopard, all of my print jobs almost take forever to finish.. a pdf file 10MB size will take about 1 hour to send to the printer that is a Nashuatech mp c3500.
And yes, if the pdf for example is 20MB size, it will take about 2 hours to get it done..
My equipment is:
Macbook pro OS X 10.6.8
Nashuatech NRG MPC3500

Sometimes, Software Update doesn't apply updates entirely correctly, and odd issues can happen.
You might download and install the latest combo update for 10.6.8, which is at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 . Before installing, bring up Disk Utlity (on your hard drive in applications/utilties) and repair permissions. Install the update, then repair permissions again when done.

HOw do I make my Airport Apple wireless station is protected by a password pls?, HOw do I make my Airport Apple wireless station is protected by a password pls?

How do I make my Apple Airport Base Station wireless connection secure please?

Yes. You should enable it. Otherwise anyone in your proximity can access your wireless LAN, your computers and your internet connection.
You should use WPA2 Personal with AES and a strong longer passphrase to get the highest security. The passphrase can be up to 63 characters long. But it kind of depends on what your wireless clients can do which you must connect. Depending on how old the computers/wireless cards are some can only do WPA, some only WEP. You should not use WEP unless absolutely necessary. WEP can be cracked within minutes. WPA and WPA2 are considered secure at this time.
Thus, kind of the preference should be from highest security down. (choices may be slightly different for your router).
WPA2 Personal AES
WPA2 Personal AES+TKIP
WPA Personal AES
WPA Personal TKIP
WEP 128bit
WEP 64bit
However, don't worry to much about the security of WPA. The differences between WPA and WPA2 are more theoretical. Just don't use WEP. Using AES+TKIP should allow WPA and WPA2 clients to connect. Some WPA clients have still difficulties with that and you may have to revert to pure WPA.
Windows XP requires an update for WPA2. Available for download from microsoft.

How do I make my iMac g4 wireless?

I have an iMac g4 with 10.4 running. How can I make it wireless? If I can where is a good place to buy the part. I know apple does not make it anymore. Thanks for any help in advance.

iMac G4s of different ages could run different versions of the Airport Card. If yours was only compatible with the original Airport Card, then I would just get a WiFi ethernet bridge, since it won't support 802.11g, or WPA2 encryption. Apple's UFO like Airport Extreme base stations can all function as a WiFi ethernet bridge that is easy to setup on all iMac G4s. Some third party routers work as well, but you have to isolate which ones can run on 10.4. Those that came with Airport Extreme capability you can find an Airport Extreme card made for them, and while it is limited to 802.11g, unless you are doing major local area network traffic, or streaming to an AppleTV, 802.11g is plenty good with WPA2 encryption. To find out if yours qualifies, use this guide to find out which iMac G4 you have:

And this one to find out which card works with it:

How do I make a printing pre set in Photoshop CS4?

I use Photoshop CS4 and print on an Epson R360. I often print high resolution images, usually jpeg, onto quality Epson paper with certain settings to get the best result. However I am aware that I can set a "pre set" to achieve this without having to make the print spec choices each time but don't know how to do it. I have checked the Adobe website but cannot find any relevant info that I can understand. Can anyone give me a simple guide how to do this please?

In the PRINT dialog box, [see Pic-1], make all the changes that you want,
then [see Pic-2]
SAVES US, name your preset. When you print again, then you just select that PRESET, and all your print specs for the PRESET should all be there. I hope this helps.

How do you make it print first page first and not the last page first?

Hi,
From the application used to print open the print dialog and click Oroperties or Preferences to access the Printing Preferences screen.
From the Layout tab set Page Order as Back to Front, then the first page will be printed first.

How do I make the print in yahoo and comcast e-mail much larger--it is so small it is unreadable

The print in my e-mails at Yahoo and Comcast is so small that it is unreadable. I need to know how to make the print larger. There must be some way to do it. It wasn't always like this.

Use the scroll down /up wheel on your mouse while pressing the ctrl key. That worked for me.

HT1150 My question on printing is how do you make the print larger than it actually is on paper or is that possible? I know you can enlarge print on the screen, that is easy, but once it prints it's always to small. How can I make it bigger or is that p

my question is on printing. i know that you can make the print larger on the screen by adjusting it, but then when it comes out on paper it's just as small again. how do I set my actual printer or my iMac to print the actual paper print larger?

Hello, it depends what App & Document type, some say PDFs have the font stuck at a certain sise, but say in Text Edit, open a document, Highlight some text the CMD+a to Select All, then type CMD+t to get the Font/Text size menu, select a bigger size.

How can i make my printer BT enabled?

Hi,
i have a powerbook with BT, and i thought it would be nice to connect between my pb and my printer (canon i960) wirelessly. so, i bought an Iogear print adapter for bluetooth (GBP301) hoping that it would make my printer BT enabled. i plugged the adapter to my printer and i tried to set it up using the BT setup assistant>select device type>Printer, but it has some problem. the setup assistant can find the printer, although when i tried to select the printer, it says "driver not installed", and doesn't let me go any further. the driver for this printer, however, is already installed in my pb, so when i connect the printer directly to my pb using a usb cable, i can print. Can anyone help me with this problem? thanks!!!

As a general rule, 'universal' WiFi and Bluetooth printer adapters do not seem to work well with Mac OS X and printers.
I suspect it is all OSs, not just OS X. I have a PowerBook, an evil Windows laptop, and a second even more evil Windows laptop from work.
We have both a HP 7410 and a Canon Pixima, both of which claim to support Bluetooth.
I foolishly bought two generic USB-Bluetooth adaptors, and my PowerBook has built-in Bluetooth.
So far I have been unable to get either printer to work with any of the computers. I studied the HP 7410 manual extensively and concluded that they have instructions for connecting the printer to a cell phone or a camera via bluetooth, but the concept of connecting the printer to a computer is not discussed.
Thge HP 7410 does show up in the PowerBook's list of available devices, so I know it is there and communication has been established. So far there does not appear to be a suitable driver available for either the HP or the Canon.
Being a complete tightwad, I am not about to spend the exhorbitant amounts HP or Canon wants for their Bluetooth adaptors. I suspect that even if I did buy the adaptors, the lack of a suitable driver would still make it not work.

HT204406 How can I make a printed copy of my playlist?

I used to be able to make a printed copy of my playlist but can no longer do it now.

Ok I have googled, I have found a windows cleaning company in Switzerland http://www.windowsexpress.org/About-Us.htmland something called Parallels Desktop for Mac with instructions for installing windows on a mac.
So I think we need to go back to the beginning with "What is Windows express?"
Email programs as a general rule do not "export" their contents into another mail clients formats. The normal procedure is to "import" the foreign format so there are some obvious questions
What formats can this mail software import?
Are your existing mail accounts IMAP or pop?
you can export email addresses from Thunderbird as CSV which almost all programs can read (including spreadsheets) From the address book select the Tools menu (Alt+ T) and select the export option
