How to share non-AirPrint printers on iOS devices?

Hi guys,
I'm running Lion OS X server and I have set up a printer on my server (the printer is not AirPrint friendly). What I want to do is set it up the printer so that I can get iPads and iPhones to be able to see that printer and print to it. I tried a program called Printopia 2 but it did not work, now I am not sure if it is becasue I have to set up something in system preferences or something similar. I have enbaled the printer to be shared.
Does anyone have any idea how I can overcome this problem?
Thank You.

I use Airprint Activator. ...on 10.6.8... It works great! The printers all show up on my ios devices.
I doesn't use the print server on 10.6.8, it just republishes the printers that are in the Sysem Prefs.
I know this because I'm not using the print services on SLS.

Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update

Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update.

This does not work in my case.
Situation: we have wifi at home using WPA encryption.
The iPod Touch 8GB connected seamless to this network and anything was ok. After some days i could no longer connect, the iPod told me "connection to network 'networkname here' failed". Deleting the network and reenter the (correct) passphrase was no help, but changing the SSID on the router was helpful: the iPod could connect again ... for several days.
Now things stopped working again. Resetting network settings did not help either.
The iPod can see the network, is asking me for the passphrase and after several seconds telling me: can't connect. On the router log i don't even see a dhcp request, but other laptops work fine with the same wifi network.
That's a mess, i cannot and will not change the SSID every some days just to get the iPod working again.

HT201401 how to erase a wifi network?

Please indicate how to erase a wifi network due to changes in specifications

Did not work. I chose the 2° option of completely ersasing all networks. After that when I found my network and put the password, I get the message "can´t connect to network". I know that the password is correct because I connect with my PC it works. What other suggestions do you have?

My iCloud drive is slow to save and share Pages documents with my IOS devices

My iCloud drive is slow to update and share my Pages documents with IOS devices. When I save a document to the iCloud drive I get a Cloud symbol in the Name line (behind the document name) and a bar in the Size column (like it's trying to save the document but is unable to do so). When I see the document in the document list on the Pages app on my IOS device it has a gray line along the bottom and I can't open the document in the Pages app.

Same for me, too - for the last few days. Reminiscent of a few weeks back when iTunes and Apple TV ground to a crawl. Of course Apple system status is green. After several days it just started working again. At least with Mac iCloud I have tried to use multiple networks/carriers so now there's no blaming AT&T on this one.
Called support and got the extended wait time message. Gave up.
Love my devices and software, but Apple really has poor cloud support. They won't even own up to the issues. If my employer didn't block dropbox, absolutely done deal I'd be off iCloud back with Dropbox.

Is it possible to control a Mac directly from an iOS device without being connected to a WiFi network, i.e. an airport or similar.

I would like to control my MacMini (Late 2012) 2.3GHz Intel Quad Core i7 processor directly from my iOS device, either my iPhone 6 or my iPad G3. By directly I mean without having a wireless or wired network in place.
I know there are a number of iOS apps that utilize VNC technology but I believe they all require the Mac to be connected via WiFi to an Airport or similar wireless networking device. I would like to control my MacMini remotely without having it already connected to a WiFi network and wondered is it possible? The iOS device and Mac would be in close proximity to one another.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks.

Guys, thanks but I did not mean to control it by infrared. I know only too well that iOS devices do not have that capability. However they and the Mac both can send and receive WiFi signals so is there any reason they can't talk to each other directly.
When I am in my home I have an airport but I would like to take the Mac Mini out on music gigs with my Apollo interface which serves as my mic preamp and mixer as it does in my studio but the Apollo needs to be connected to the mac via thunderbolt to download the plugin software that provides reverb and eq, etc. I would like to do this without the need of a monitor and keyboard, hence my dilemma. The only thing I basically need to do is start the mini and the rest happens automatically but I need to also shut down (which I know can be accomplished a couple of ways) but with out having a visual interface you can't make any changes or verify what setting are being used.

How to read connected wifi network password programetically in Mac

Hi,
       In my application, i want to read currently connected wifi network password programetically.
       Is there any way that i can use apple api's to read wifi network password.
       I feel there should be some way to read in Mac also, because windows exposes an api - WlanGetProfile, which returns complete profile of currently connected wifi network along with the password.
       So i want to know the similar api in Mac.
       I have gone throught he /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist - but i contains only ssid name only, no password is saved in this file.
       Can any one let me know about this.
With regards,
K.Thejonath.

Thanks for the info.
However i am able to read wifi password in Mac OSX.
It is possible making use of api's CWKeychainCopyPassword() & CWKeychainCopyEAPUsernameAndPassword() .
With regards,
K.Thejonath.

If iPhone 6+ doesn't see WiFi network after iOS 8.3 upgrade, restart router and iPhone

PROBLEM: After upgrading my iPhone 6+ to iOS 8.3, the iPhone initially would not "see" the presence of my Apple Airport WiFi network.
This was bizarre because the credentials were saved on the iPhone, the WiFi network had been continuously up, my Mac Air remained continuously logged in to the Airport WiFi, and the iPhone was able to see other WiFi networks I didn't wish to connect to such as xfinity's and the neighbor's. Just not mine.
Manually entering the network name and password had no effect.
SOLUTION: Restart the Airport WiFi router. Then restart the iPhone 6+. Now the iPhone 6+ sees and connects to the WiFi network automatically as usual.
Hope this helps some folks!

I Apologize for the long overdue reply. If your using a pc with your iPhone it is a common problem i noticed since i had iPhone 3GS, although it can occasionally happen with mac but you if backed the phone with the issue will get the same issue you had since it will be in the backup it backups software on phone as well you see.

HT1695 how do I unlock WIFI network if it will not accept password?

<Email Edited by Host>

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

How do you find wifi network security key?

How do you find the wifi network Security Key? Not password --- KEY?

The "key" is probably totally useless to you, since it is 64 characters long and very few things will accept an item of this length.
If you have an Apple AirPort router, we can tell you how to find the "key" for the network that it is creating, if you can tell us what operating system your Mac is using.
Most manufacturers use the term "key" to mean the normal wireless network password, which is also known as passkey.

How to extend a wifi network of third party router with TC 4th generation?

After searching the communities for a while, I did not find a definitive answer on the following question:
- I recently bought a 4th generation Time Capsule 2TB (MD0322/A), that I also want to use as an extension for our existing wifi network.
- This wifi network is maintained by a Sitecom Wireless 300N XR Gigabit Router. Router is set to work over 2.4 GHz (B+G+N) because of several non-N-wifi devices in the network. The channel in use is currently 11.
- This router provides so called WDS functionality, i.e. the ability for other wifi access points to act as a seamless extension of the basic wifi network (using the same SSID).
- The security settings in the router are WPA2 Mixed, with a password in plain ASCII.
- There seems to be no way to set different security levels for WDS-connections versus normal AP (access point) connections. If WDS is enabled, the security settings of the AP-mode are extended to the WDS connection.
I have set the Sitecom router to enable WDS, and added the MAC-address of the TC in the configuration of this router.
When configuring the Time Capsule, with Airport Utility 5.5.3, I can select the option to use TC to extend an existing network, and I can select the network of choice using the WPA personal or WPA/WPA personal security. However, the TC does not succeed in extending the network, and reports this back. If I manually configure the TC and select the network of choice, Airport Utility reports back that the selected network cannot be extended.
I have read several times in other posts that Time Capsule can only connect to third party routers via WDS using WEP-authentication, but these posts were quite old. I was wondering if this is still the case, or that Apple has updated this functionality in newer versions of TC, and thus there could exist a trick to connect to a WDS using WPA.
I really would appreciate suggestions

Airport can not be used to extend a WiFi created by a non-Apple box.
You need to turn off the radio in the router (shut down the existing WiFi). Purchase TWO Airport Express units. Connect one to the router with an Ethernet cable. Configure that one as your primary WiFi network and then use the second Express as the extender.
You need to locate the second Express where it receives a decent WiFi signal. Too far away and it has nothing to extend. Too close and it doesn't buy you anything. Before you plug in the second Express, check to see where the primary WiFi disappears completely. My personal WAG is that you want to locate the second Express 2/3 the distance to that point.
If you use Airport Utility to configure the units, it's a snap. In fact, if you configure the primary first and the extender second, AU will default to exactly the settings that you want.
By the way, I refereed to the Express because it's less expensive than the Extreme and you didn't indicate any need for the Extreme features.

Jeff ~ Yes. Make a copy of the iWeb Domain file (normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder, although it can be moved) and then open it in iWeb by double-clicking. Delete the site you don't want in that Domain file by selecting the site in the left side column and then Edit menu > Delete Site. Then you can transfer than Domain file to another computer, but check out NOTE 1 here:

Satellite P100-221 - How can I access WiFi networks?

I have a P100-221.
I want to access WiFi networks.
I dont know how to do it. Which driver should I install?
Any help please?
Regards
Nevzat

Hello
If Windows recognize a WiFi network you can access and normally you will need a password. If you know this, you have access to the network.
Furthermore WLAN must be enabled with the WiFi switch on the notebook and by pressing FN+F8.
For this its not necessary to install a driver but if you need a driver you can find it on the Toshiba website.
I think you should look in the user manual. There you can a lot of informations about your notebook and informations how to access to a WiFi networks.
Sometimes its very useful the user manual.

How to see if WiFi networks are WEP or WPA in Windows 8.1 ?

This is infuriating. Since I upgraded to Windows 8.1, there is no way to see if WiFi Security ie WEP or WPA on hovering over the network. Also I can not right click to forget the WiFi Network. So, how do I find the security of available Wifi networks
and manage WiFi profiles ?

Hi,
In Windows 8.1, some UIs for Wifi have been removed.
You can refer to this article to manage your Wifi on Windows 8.1:
Manage wireless network profiles
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/manage-wireless-network-profiles
Hope this would be helpful.

Crazy and senseless remove every UI WIFI tool from 8.1. But why?!?
On Windows 8 we lost the WIFI network manager there was on Windows 7. And now with 8.1 we lost the ability to forget a network too.
No way to come back to make things with sense? Why people in 2014 have to use the DOS Prompt to cancel a WIFI network? Is this a customers OS oriented?
