HP officejet Pro 8600 Not connecting right to my new Mac Pro Air. Looses signal.

I recently bought a Mac Book Air. I have a wireless HP Officepro Jet 8600 that sometimes works for printing and a lot of times it does not get the signal. I am ready to throw my HP out the window. Had tech come in twice. Gets it and than it looses the signal. We probably do not have it connected correctly. Please help.
Thanks

Hi Carlman,
I'd like to help you obtain a more consistent connection. I feel that disabling the IPv6 would help us accomplish this. Please use the instructions in the following post to enable only the IPv4.
Re: Office Jet Pro 8600 N911a printer
The IPv6 often times causes interference with the IPv4, thus I believe this should resolve the issue.
Please let me know if it does or does not, thanks.

Win 8.1 and HP Officejet Pro 8600 not connecting

Priior to installing Windows 8.1, my printer worked fine. I installed Windows 8.1 and came across the message - Printer Error - Before you can perform printer-relate tasks... I removed and reinstalled the printer and it worked. I printed several documents yesterday. This morning, went to print and the same error message appeared, printing error. I checked under devices and printers and the HP printer was grayed out. When I clicked on the printer under device and printers, it says printer not connected.
I am using the printer on a wireless network.
Please help in this matter.
This question was solved.

Hi Dennis1825,
I understand you've been having some issues with your Officejet 8600 printing since upgrading to Windows 8.1. I'm sorry to hear this has been happening but I will certainly try to help.
To get a little extra help with this issue, I'd like you to download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor (running for both Fix Printing and Fix Scanning to make sure it doesn't detect any issues) and hopefully it should be able to fix this for us.
Hope this helps, have a great day!

HT1338 hp 100 office jet printer will not connect via bluetooth to my mac pro running os 10.9

I once was able to connect via blue tooth to my HP mobile office jet printer with my Mac pro. but ever since i have upgraded to OS 10.9 it will not pair with my laptop. I have gone too the HP site and downloaded the current drivers for this printer as well as check apple updates. it still will not connect via bluetooth

System Preferences>Fax & Scan. Delete the printers and re-add them back in.

LG Monitor and New Mac Pro -- Colours out of Whack

I have an LG L226WT and a 20" Apple Cinema Display connected to a brand new Mac Pro.
Both monitors (in the same configuration) were running on my old PowerMac G5 before.
The Cinema Display works fine, colours are good, so is light etc.
The LG first had ghosting (severe at that) and this morning the colours are totally out of whack. Looking at some photos I had taken a week ago and colour corrected on the G5 now look like a child painted them (on the LG monitor, on the Cinemadisplay they are fine).
It's not the graphics card either. If I take a screenshot on the LG and look at it on the Cinemadisplay the colours etc. are correct, but the LG is right now pretty useless to me. I tried to calibrate it but the end result is pretty much the same, it just does not seem to want to play nice.
I don't think it is the DVI cable, as it is securely screwed in and in the same location as on the PowerMac, turning the monitor off / on seems to resolve the shadow problem but not the colour issue.
Anybody have experienced this? Any tips outside of trashing the LG and buying a new screen?

The ghosting issue is still one when I first turn the computer on. I found that I have to turn the monitor off and on and it resolves the issue.
I also found the source of my colour problem, it comes down to the LG "resetting" itself to some "automatic improvement" or whatever you want to call it, which completely messed with the tones. After I turned that "feature" off it worked well, but man, that took me three days to figure out.

Take 45s to boot a brand new Mac Pro

Hi Mac Pro folks
I just got a brand new Mac Pro running Mountain Lion. It came with a 512MB SSD as the boot disk and a 2TB disk as the second drive. What I got confused is: after powering it on, the Mac Pro takes average 45s to boot to the white screen with an Apple logo.
This is actually the second Mac Pro, the previous one having the same configuration took 30 seconds to boot. As the previous one's second drive got clicking sound from the first day, Apple replaced the whole machine. Now the clicking sound has gone, but the second Mac Pro takes an even longer time to boot from SSD.
Is it normal? Has anyone ever experienced the same thing?
Thanks for any comments.
Regards,
B

This is a Mac Pro 5,1 so I would expect it should take less than 10 seconds to boot.
Moreover, the SSD is the only startup device under Startup Disk.
It seems the only PCI card is the ATI Radeon HD 5770 that comes with the system.

No it should take 10 seconds. That is what my SSD on Mac Pro 1,1.
PCIe cards can affect booting, especially if you boot from one.
3rd party SSD or not? \
firmware is current?
SSD is set to default startup disk control panel?
You've done ML Recovery and checked the SSD twice: the top of the drive to check partitions, the user volume to check the system directory.
If it is 3rd party what make?
Does it show TRIM is enabled in SATA entry in System Profile?
What else is installed.
Does not sound normal to me to replace anything except the hard drive for clicking, and then to just zero the drive.
I would never pay for disk drive from Apple when there are better prices and as good devices.

Premiere pro cc and new mac pro 2013

There is so much being written about Adobe CC (Premiere Pro) not working well on the new mac pro that I just want a final clarification from Adobe:
1. Does Premiere Pro work well on the new machines and is the software set up to make use of the new machine elements- like dual GPUs etc??
2. If not is this in the pipeline for Premiere Pro CC updates and any estimates on when?
Thanks
David

You do realize that, for the most part, this is a User forum, not a Support one? We have participation from various Adobe employees due to good will more than anything. They don't and won't share road map stuff with us until they're ready to announce it to the whole world.
I think you're asking the wrong question on the wrong forum.
Pr CC and AME CC are both set up to make use of the dual GPUs on the new Mac. Several of us have already shared our experience with CC on the new Mac Pro; for the most part it's very favorable. A few folks are still having some difficulty with it; hopefully they've opened support cases with Adobe to get that straightened out.

Recommendations for audio interface with new mac pro to avoid latency?

Hi friends,
I have a new Mac Pro on order for editing video in FCPX, but Presonus says my older Presonus Firebox won't work with Mavericks and the new Mac Pro. Do you have a recommendation for a replacement?
I only use the interface to drive 2 powered expternal speakers and a headset, so I don't need something super sophisticated.
As I read about units, almost all come with USB 2.0 connections. But the new Mac Pro only offers USB, Thunderbolt 2, Dual Gigabit Ethernet, and HDMI 1.4 Ultra HD inputs. If I can't find a fairly inexpensive audio interface with USB 3.0, I'd have to go through another connection to get into the Mac Pro.
The key for me is to make sure and avoid latency, a critical issue for editing video.
Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks. Duncan

Thanks Mark and Smokerz,
Your point about USB2 working in USB3 ports is something I wasn't aware of. That opens a lot of doors for me. And I'll look into the Yamaha sound board as one possibility.
Thank you both for helping me.

I have OS 10.8.2 and use wireless at home just fine. When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect. What do I need to do?

When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect.
I see that the Mac Book Pro is picking up the internet when I check the internet preference section but it will not open Safari.
What do I need to do connect via a cable modem?

You need to power off the modem for 15-30 seconds, then power back up and then connect. The modem is remembering the last connection (your friend).

TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work). "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

My macbook 13 pro is not connecting to the internet even though the airport says it's connected. Can someone help me?

My macbook 13 pro is not connecting to the internet even though the airport says it's connected. Can someone help me? My iphone and other macbook connect and work no problem. What steps can I take?

Ok....
Now go to your router's settings. Not sure who makes your router...
Look at wireless part of it and see how many computers are actually hooked up to it.
Delete your computer from it (in your router).
Restart your router.
After your router has restarted, try to connect to it with your MB and see if you can browse the net.

MacBook Pro will not connect to the internet

Suddenly, my MacBook Pro will not connect to the Internet--even when I take the cable from the Time Capsule and plug it into the laptop...
-Internet is good
–WiFi is connected
-both work with my iPad...

You should show WiFi:
Do you have it turned on?

My MacBook pro will not connect to the Internet through wifi yet all other devices do

My MacBook pro will not connect to the Internet through wifi. I have several other wifi enabled devices and they are all connected to the Internet just fine... What could/would cause this?

Disable your AirPort and enable in a second. Or check, maybe you need to type in correct digits in; Settings/Network/Advanced/Configure...

I have a brand new Mac Pro Tower that continually kicks me off the internet and sometimes starts up not connecting to the internet?

My brand new Mac Pro Tower that I spent a small fortune on sometimes boots up and does not connect to the internet when every other computer in my office does and other times it just kicks me straight off. My question is, is there a problem with the wi fi on these machines?

Brand new nMP Mac Pro 6,1 Late 2013.... and it is defective - the older silver tower might be easier to find parts but at least it is not 65 lbs and is something that can be taken in - which I think you really need to do.
When you run etrecheck from www.etresoft.com it can show what is installed, drivers and might help point to something on software side.
Grant is the go-to person here I think among others for networking issues.
Airport Express and signal strength, channel it is trying to use, whether the Network control panel settings are "correct" or need to be changed (even the order, what it is trying to look for and use).
If you move it to another spot or put another computer over in that general vicinity...? behaves the same.
I recall reading where the MacBook Pro model in 2012? and switched to a new chipset and some very long (huge) threads in their forum - which means also there was no real solution given.
No, should not be. And other than network tests would be booting into Apple DiagnosticsTest mode - pulls down from Apple servers.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?
