I just switched from pc and want to get printer drivers to work with macbook air. How do I do that?

I just switched from pc and want to get my HP all in one printer to work with macbook air. Is it just as simple as downloading drivers from HP?

Turn the printer on and plug the printer into the MBA and your mac should install the printer for you (usually any necessary drivers too). I had a printer I used on a pc and I plugged it into my macs usb port and my mac automatically recognized it and took care of everything for me. If you do this and it wont print, then yes go to the HP website the install latest drivers for 10.7
Also, as a new mac user you should find these articles helpful:

How to get rid of imessage on a Macbook air

People who have access to my itunes username and password can use my phone number for imessage on their computers. How do I prevent this besides changing my itunes password? I do not want this to happen again.

The only real solution is to change your password and keep it safe. Whenever someone uses imessage on your account you should get an email from apple so you will know. Don't give out passwords if you don't want people to take advantage of it.

Getting your router started with iChat.
Appropriate for using iChatAV 2 upwards. Edits have been made for iChat 4
Glossary for this FAQ
Routers: Any configurable device that sits between your computer and the internet link you have. This includes Modems that Route as well as "routers"
Routers seem to fall into two categories
Those that work straight from the box. See Apple Article HT1787
NOTE :This Article has not been updated in content since Jan 04 Only being changed to an Article from the Previous Doc listing
Even then some list that they need tweaks.
and those that do not.
This post will deal with what you may need to look at.
First off make sure your device is acting as a DHCP server. (if you are already on the internet you may not have to bother with this.)
Check in the Tiger System Preferences > Network Preference Pane, in the "Built in Ethernet" option from the "Show" drop down list.
In Leopard the Networks are listed on the left with icons. The Airport Option will need you to access the Advance Button for the Next bit.
Make sure the TCP/IP tab is the 'front' one. You should be able to see Configure IPv4 and it most likely reads Using DCHP. Make a note of your IP address. It will start 10.xxx.xxx.xxx or 192.168.xxx.xxx (the 'x' s will stand for any number between 1 and 255). The range 172.16.xxx.xxx is also a possible value at this point. Rarely used, but it is part of the RFC for Address Allocation for Private Internets.
Your router is most likely to be configurable from your browser. You will need to find the IP address to type into the browser from any Readme or PDF files that came on the install disk or visit the makers website and download a manual.
The Port Forward.com site lists many devices and clicking on one will take you to a list of Applications. This iChat will open an page that will start by telling you the defaults to access the device
Opening or Allowing ports. Several Methods not all devices have all of them.
DMZ (Demilitarised Zone)
This is a less secure setting that basically opens all ports and points the incoming data to your computer. (not helpful if you have more than one computer on your LAN). It can be considered as an extreme form of Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding (also Virtual Server or Pin Holes)
These settings are usually found in an Advanced setting.
You may need to set an incoming IP address (Usually 0.0.0.0 to any outside server), a port that data will arrive on, the Inside computer's IP address (your computer) and the port it will deal with the data on and the protocol it will use.
See this pic for an example of the description above.
In this example shows that on some Port AND Protocols need to be listed.
iChat uses TCP and UDP so some devices will need the ports listed one by one and some settings done twice, once for each protocol. The example above has a "Both" setting
See Apple Article HT1507 Previously Doc 93208 for more information. This is the Tiger iChat 3 list. The same ports are needed for Leopard except for these changes
My Note 2:
On the first link Note 1 under tables in that link would be better if it read:
" 1. All iChat AV traffic is UDP -
except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP as well;
and 5220, 5222, which need to be open for TCP only. "
Note 2
GoggleTalk needs port 5223 on TCP. Also note the Server name for iChat 3 set ups
UPnP Universal Plug n Play.
This is a simple Plug and Play type of setting. iChat can find it's own way through a router if the device has this capability.
By Not doing Port Forwarding, Triggering or DMZ and enabling UPnP the application is allowed to control the modem and the ports that are open.
They close after the application has finished with them on a timed basis.
On some devices the number of "hops" (how far away the UPnP can be "seen") can be reduced from a default of 4)
Trigger Ports
Some devices offer a security measure that works by a first or trigger port receiving a data packet and then opening further ports when accepted.
The first port for incoming Video or Audio invites is port 5678.
Pre iChat 4
When you click on the invite window the process moves in to port 5060 (so these will need to be opened by the trigger port) for negotiating the final group of ports from the group of 20 (16384-16403 These will need to open when the trigger says so as well). Therefore port 5678 triggers ports 5678, 5060, 16384-16403. All on UDP. Port 5190 neeeds to trigger port 5190 for both TCP and UDP.
See this variation where only the ports listed above are completed.
The other single ports need to be set one by one in addition. (5220,5222, 5223 5297, 5298, 5353)Replace
iChat 4
The port used in IChat 4 is port 16402 instead of port 5060. The group of 20 ports is reduced to 10 (16393-16402). This is because all the In and Out Audio and Video data is on one port. Other that than the settings are the same.
At this time there is no Info on the ports the Screen Sharing in iChat 4 uses.
Wireless
Here you will have to read around but this Apple Article TA25949 Previously Doc 58514 might be a good starting place.
Essentially whether you are wireless or Ethernet to your routing device makes very little difference to the way you do things.
Your computer will get two IPs from a DHCP server if you are connected by both methods. (iChat does not like this)
Multiple devices
Make sure only one is acting as a DHCP server. Make sure wireless devices are bridged properly.

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion to connect with Exchange 2007?

Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion 10.7.2 to connect with Exchange 2007? It worked perfectly with Snow Leopard... upgraded to lion and it won't work. We use Exchange 2007 with SP 3 and Rollup 4. Won't connect... and I can't get Apple to give me any direction.

We finally got it to work today. We had to call and pay for the microsoft support service, but the issue was on the server end. We had to go into the iis manager... went to sites... when to default website...and changed the SSL settings for Auto Discover, EWS Exadmin, echange, exchweb, owa... and the rest..
Change the settings to ignore client certificates.
Problem solved. Can finally send and receive.

I have an airbook, 10.7.4 LION, thunderbolt ethernet adapter and when trying to install 1.2.1 thunderbolt upgrade it says "this software not supported on this system"? Any advice on how to get the adapter to work?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you purchased the computer before 2010, your computer hasn't got Thunderbolt, so you can't use it

Installed Windows 7 on my IMac, now I can't get Apple OS to work

Installed Windows 7 on my IMac, now I can't get Apple OS to work, I have tried booting with Snow Leopard disc in and nothing works. I had trouble from the start but now nothing works except Windows 7, sound wont work etc. etc.

I originally tried installing Widows 7 so I could run my Flight Simulator X on the IMac I got from my daughter and I used BootCamp and had partitioned it at about 4GB for windows and the first thing I got was I had to put a bootable disc in and neither the windows 7 or Snow Leopard would work. Then I got Windows 7 to work but I can't get Snow Leopard to run, when I put the disc in it says that it not supported. Of course windows wont show me anyother areas of the disc that I could try to get to, the other side of the partition I guess. I have tried holding the C key down on reboot and that doesn't work. I hope this gives you a little more insight as to what is going on. Thanks Bill

How to get the webcam to work?

Hi,
As I don't have an instruction book for this computer, can anyone tell me how to get the webcam to work please?
There is supposed to be something that pops up from the side of the screen, but I've left the mouse sit there for ages on all sides and nothing. Please assist me.
Kit_e

I refer you back to my original question.
There used to be a bar at the side that popped up when you left the mouse sit there for a bit. It no longer pops up ... ie: it's disappeared and will not return ... this is what "started" the webcam for use as a webcam.
I have no idea on how to use the webcam from any other place. There is no icon. There is no mention of it in the programs list. There is nothing. There is a webcam sitting there in the laptops lid, but I can't find where to "access it". Like I said there is no icon, nothing in the programs list.
I want to be able to use it. You know, like you use a webcam. On the web, as a camera. No particular website or software that I have in mind.
Thanks.

Re How to get apple to stop blocking online wagering apps?

Would anyone have any suggestions for how to get apple to stop blocking online wagering apps in New Zealand? They block them with 'online wagering is illegal in NZ with a mobile device'. This is not true in relation to racing and many forms of online wagering. I have tried AppleCare and the person I dealt with eventually agreed with me but said he could not help. He suggested this forum as he believed postings were read by Apple. I have been able to access the sites via apps on Samsung pad no problems. Don't really want to ditch my iPad and iPhone though.

Apple's legal department would probably just ignore any such comments. I'd suggest the iTunes Store request page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Again, you will not receive a reply.

I need help with Apple iCloud verification. I don't have the email and I can't figure out how to get Apple to send me a new one.

So, in order to back up my music and stuff to the cloud I need to verify my Apple ID and I don't have the verification e-mail. If someone out there could help me out by telling me how to get Apple to send another one, or if they can, I would appreciate it alot. Thank you!!!!!

Does the Apple remote control work with MacBook Pro with retina? If yes, how can I sync it?
Thanks!

It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.

Need help getting Apple Extreme to work with Be box

Anyone able to give an idiots guide to getting Apple Extreme to work with Be Box wireless modem?
Used to have Orange (Wanadoo) broadband with Livebox wireless router, which i had my AE wired up to and it worked fine. Signed up with Be* and managed to get their wireless router working and communicating with my Mac OK. When i hooked up AE the green light came on but i can't manage to get my Mac to find it.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello Orang Hutan. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
What is your connectivity goal for the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)?
o Connect it directly to the Be Box wireless router via Ethernet, or
o Connect it wirelessly to the Be Box's wireless network?
If it is to go the wireless route, do you want the AEBSn to extend the wireless range of the Be Box?
