Well, you could install the drivers to the wireless printer in you other computers.

I have been having trouble getting my email on my iPad. It started when I brought it to the US on vacation (I live in London and my email provider is Virgin Media). It worked once since I returned, but that is it. I can send emails, but can't get them

I have been having trouble getting my email on my iPad2.

Any ideas, people?

Hi Kharels
Just posted this reply to 2 others with same sort of question:
I have the same issue as i have my own email address and only want to use.
There are two ways around this annoying problem. The first is to set up your own domain email account alongside your iCloud one, and when you go to send each email tap on From and you get a choice of emails addresses to reply from... ie your own domain or the iCloud one. This is tedious though.
The other is to set up your iCloud email as normal, then create a new one altogether. Choose 'Other' when creating this new account. Then put for the incoming server mail.me.com, along with your user name and password. For the outgoing server put the server you want to use - ie your own domain one. This is therefore a hybrid account and does work.
Now switch off the email for iCloud (leaving on Calendar, Address Book etc). Switch on the email for your hybrid account (which of course is iCloud incoming as well).
Providing you have directed your own domain email address to your me.com one, you will find the iPhone should behave itself and you can use the folders etc and these will synch with your Mac ok.
Hope this work for you - let us know.

I am buying an Epson scanner. I am told it is compatible with an Apple Computer, is that correct? I have been told to get Acrobat XI Pro as the software for the scanner. Is that correct? Will this also scan handwritten documents into a Word document?

"I am buying an Epson scanner. I am told it is compatible with an Apple Computer, is that correct?"
We have no idea, and it isn't really our thing.
"I have been told to get Acrobat XI Pro as the software for the scanner. Is that correct?"
Acrobat XI Pro is available for Mac and is an excellent tool for making PDFs. We can't say whether it will work with the scanner. It depends what drivers Epson provide.
"Will this also scan handwritten documents into a Word document?"
That's not what Acrobat is for. It is for making PDFs. To make handwritten documents into Word documents, you'd just scan as graphics, and insert each graphic on a new page of the Word document. They will remain pictures of text, not something you can edit or copy/paste.

Hi ! How to identify a 2.0 usb on the Mac mini because I was told that they are not all 2.0

Someone knows how to identify the usb 2.0 on a mac mini because I use the mini just for music and I have been told that they are not all 2.0.

Actually, you can have a mixture of USB2.0 and USB 3.0 devices on the 2012 Mini's. USB3.0 devices will operate at 3.0 speed and USB2.0 devices will operate at 2.0 speed. It all depends which device is plugged in first not the slowest speed device. So, if a USB3.0 device is plugged in first, it will use SuperSpeed and USB2.0 devices will use High-Speed. If a USB2.0 device is plugged in first, ALL devices (3.0 and 2.0) will operate at High-Speed (USB2.0).
In the System Information under USB there are two types of USB hubs. One is USB High-Speed Bus which will show the USB2.0 devices. Another is USB SuperSpeed Bus which shows the USB3.0 devices. You can see your devices under each Bus.
Below is from this Apple Link:
How do I get the best performance from the USB 3 ports?
The first device you plug in will configure the port, so always connect USB 3 capable hubs or devices first.
What happens if I plug in a USB 2 device into the USB 3 port first?
If you plug in a USB 2 hub first, all devices connected or "daisy-chained" to that hub will operate up to the maximum transfer rate of USB 2 speed (480 Mbps).

Envy5532 - both PC and printer connect to WiFi router/network, but can't print from PC : (

I have a new Envy 5532 and I want to print from my Windows 7 Pro PC via my wireless network/internet router.
The PC is connected wirelessly to the internet through the router. The printer connects to the router/network without any problem. The printer also connects DIRECTLY to the PC wirelessly, and I can print from the PC if I disconnect from the router/WiFi network.
So the router comes up as a network on the PC, and the printer comes up as a different network. But I can only print through the direct connection, which means I can only print, not scan. Also, it means I have to disconnect from the internet in order to print.
I have run all diagnostics, installed the drivers, etc. but it seems to be a dead end.
Any advise? Many thanks.

Hi @DrivenDementet,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you cannot print from your PC to your HP Envy 5532. I am happy to help you with your printing!
Please see the following guides:
'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Windows 7. (This guide will help you get online and printing).
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. (This guide will help you maintain the connection).
On top of the guides, I would also recommend this website, HP Wireless Printing Center, as there is some good information on wireless printing.
it is also very important with wireless printing that the PC and the Printer are on the same wireless network, otherwise they will not be able to talk to each other.
Hope this information clears things up for you, and have a great day!

Can't connect to computer on network but can share screen

I've got a MBP 2.4 that I can't connect to another MBP or a Mac Pro on our home network (Airport Extreme router). I can share the screen but I can't connect. The other computers can connect and share into the 2.4. I can't figure this out since all of the settings are all the same.

I was able to get it to connect after turning off the file sharing and then turning it back on the Mac Pro. Strange why it didn't work before.

IPhone connects to secured WiFi network, but can't access Internet

Problem: iPhone connects to my secured home WiFi network, shows WiFi strength bars at top of screen, displays checkmark, lock, power, and blue arrow on WiFi Networks screen; however, cannot access Internet, iTunes store, stocks, Weather or anything else.

3. Microsoft router MN-500:
Tried this old router (the one I used before purchasing the LinkSys). It is an old (circa 2002) Wireless B base station with WEP Security. The iPhone was never able to connect to the Internet using various settings, many of which were duplicates of the LinkSys tests above.
On both routers my wife's Dell laptop and my HP printer connect without incident, using the same network/security settings.
I have always been able to connect to various unsecured WiFi networks; I have never been able to connect to a secure WiFi network (although the only one I've really tried has been my own).
I am at a loss as to what to do next. Any suggestions?

SUCCESS!!!!!
I visited my brother-in-law yesterday and attempted to connect with his secure network. By sheer luck, he is using the exact same model LinkSys router. My iPhone connected first time--so the iPhone was eliminated as a source of the problem.
I didn't do a lot of troubleshooting at his house, but I did notice that his network was set for both dynamic DHCP and dynamic DNS. I know that either or both of Windstream (my ISP) and my broadband modem requires a pair of static DNS addresses.
Sure enough, delving real deep into Windstream's support site, I discovered a LinkSys router DNS help page, specifying how to set static DNS addresses in LinkSys routers. I then accessed my router, enterd the known static addresses, saved the router settings, then rebooted the iPhone and connected to the network.
SUCCESS!!!
Thanks to Jane, who suggested it was an ISP issue, Jason, and all at Apple support. dumonj, I'll email you directly. Try this suggestion and see if it helps.

Can connect to my house network, but can't connect to the Internet (other computers can)

Hello,
I'm experiencing a strange problem. Since I started my Mac Pro (cold start) some hours ago, I've lost the hability to connect to the Internet (Safari and Mail say I'm not connected). However, I can connect to 192.168.2.1 (my router) and see its webpage (it says it's connected to the Internet). If I use another computer on the same network, it can also connect to the Internet.
Weirder, if I go back to my Mac Pro with "no internet" and launch Parallels Desktop, then I can use WinXP to browse the Internet; I'm writing this post on my WinXP virtual machine.
This leads me to think there's a problem with how my Mac OS handles the networking. I have checked the Console, but the only related string I found is this:
16.04.13 22:03:25
kernel
SIOCPROTOATTACH_IN6: en2 error=17
As expected, Google doesn't reveal anything about that (and I'm connected with the first ethernet port). I've tried to restart my Mac, but the problem persists (exact same symptoms).
Could it be a DNS cache issue?
I don't see, other than a DNS problem, why I can't connect to the Internet with my Mac OS while I can on my virtual machines. If it was a driver problem, I wouldn't be able to connect to my router. If it's a DNS issue, where are the DNS caches located in order to clear them (I'd trash the folder)?
I could also reinstall the OS (waste of time, btw), but I'd really like to understand the problem, not just clear it and forget about it.
Or better than guesses, anyone already experienced this?
Any help welcome.

If it's a DNS issue, where are the DNS caches located in order to clear them (I'd trash the folder)
No DNS caches, it looks up the alphabetic and then uses the numberic from then on.
http://17.149.160.49
is Apple, Inc main US web site. It that works, and the alphabetic does not, you have a DNS probelm.

MyiPhone 4 will not connect to the Verizon network, but can connect to Wi-Fi.

After over 2 hours with Verizon, we could not get this phone to connect to the Verizon network-- and it is a Verizon phone.
It will, however connect to WiFi. We tried resetting everything possible, i.e. Network Settings, All Content & Settings, etc...
Also, tried connecting to iTunes and trying to get it to find the network and set up the phone through there. Nothing.
It still reads: "Searching..." and cannot find the Verizon network.
I bought this pone used because my Droid is near death and I am not able to upgrade until April 2014 (ugh!)

Is there an internal antenna that may need to be replaced? If so, how much would that cost?

Cannot connect to the secure network but can to the guest network

I have three computers in my home, all Apple. One is an iMac with 10.5 installed, another is a powerbook g4 17" with 10.5 installed and the third is an old titanium powerbook g4 15" with 10.4 installed. All of them have the newest versions of software.
I just bought a new time capsule and that has the newest firmware upgrade installed. I set the time capsule up with a secure WPA Personal network and a guest network with no password. I can connect to the secure network on the iMac and the 17" powerbook but the titanium powerbook cannot even see the secure network or connect to it if I enter it and put in the correct password. However the titanium powerbook can see and connect to the guest network.
Please help, I need to be able to print from the titanium powerbook to an ethernet printer connected to the time capsule.
I've tried adding a wireless client with no password in airport utility thinking I could connect the titanium powerbook that way and that does not work either.

Actually I have figured it out. I guess the titanium powerbooks cannot do WPA encryption, only WEP but I cannot choose WEP in the airport utility nor do I want to. I did find a work around though.
In airport utility I went to the base station menu and clicked on "equivalent network password" and it shows the WPA password and then something called "WPA Pre-Shared Key". The key is a 64 character password but I tried it on the titanium powerbook and it worked!

Hey you guys I have a question. I have been trying to update my MacBook Pro to OS X Mavericks and I get nothing.

I go into the App store and it says it is downloading but it is not. I have tried for 3 days already and I do not know what to do. My brother got me my computer 4 years ago. When I go under About this Mac it says this: Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3. If anyone can help me I would glady appreciate it.

Evie,
Mavericks is a 5.3 GB download, so it will take a while for a download of that size to complete.

Do you have to pay to get your macbook pro headphone jack fixed?

it has windows 7 software by the way

Is it under warranty? If it is and the damage was not caused by misuse then no. Otherwise yes.

Says I am connecte to a wifi network but can't access anything on Safari or open any apps. Help!!!

For the past few weeks since I have updated to ios 6 I am not able to open any apps (Facebook, Twitter, App Store, Instagram) and my Safari will not open any pages. It loads and loads then a message shows up saying "Safari could no open the webpage becuase the server stopped responding." I have tried everything including Resetting the Network as well as a full reset of my ipad (done at the apple store). I am still having the same issues. If someone could please help me with this as this is getting extremely frustrating! My Iphone 4 is having the same issue as well. But when it comes to WIFI at other locations it seems to be fine, only at home is where I am having this issue.

I just bought a new wireless router/modem from my internet provide (Shaw) and I'm still having the same issue. My laptop is working fine. It's only the iphone 4 and ipad 2 I'm having issues with.

IPhone 6 Plus won't connect to 2.4ghz networks but can see them

I just got an iPhone 6 plus that won't connect to any 2.4ghz networks. It will either say wrong password or unable to connect.
On my home network I had to change the band to 5ghz to be able to use my wifi and not all of my home devices are compatible.
Places that I went to test wifi:
McDonald's
Starbucks
Local Sports bar
Friends house
Does anyone know a fix? I tried resetting the phone, resetting network settings numerous times, turning off wifi networking in the privacy settings. Nothing seems to work and I am super frustrated. Can someone help?

I have tried replacing the phone, updating router firmware, running namebench to find fastest DNS, multiple reboots of phone and router, nothing helps. 5GHz band works like a charm but it doesn't penetrate to all rooms of the house. One guy said problem was solved by running beta version of iOS 8.2 but I don't know how to download it. Any success?

Netflix says I have to download Silverlight plugin for Macbook Pro before I could play movies. Does anyone recommend a version of Silverlight that is ay to download?? Thanks.

Had the same problem; would have been nice if they had told s that we need an intel processor on our older Macs! I am up and running again.

HT2250 I have been able to get my MacBook Pro to print wirelessly through my Airport device. How do I make it so other computers (non-Mac) can also print wirelessly as well? They are able to connect through my wireless network but can't print.
