I am trying to print from my Apple IPad to my Inkjet 2542 printer, it asks for a password when my printer is found, not sure what to put

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Assuming you have installed your printer onto your home wireless network, your iPad Application is asking for your Wireless passphrass / password to your network.
Reference:  HP Deskjet 2540 series User Guide 
See Page 49
=====================================
Take a look at the following:
Add Device to Printer
You need the first part for Printer Software for your printer and you need "An App for That" in the Mobile printing section where you complete Steps 1-2-3.
Skip all the parts in the middle having to do with ePrint and HP Connected -- your printer does not have ePrint so you don't need to worry about any of that.

    You're saying this is happening on a Mac??  Find My iPhone is a feature of iOS devices, not Macs.  If you are trying to change the iCloud ID on an iOS device, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new password does not match. What to do?

    If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information.  Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

    Thanks for replying, I'm a real techno-cretin.  What do you mean by not using the backup?  I'm busy trying to restore my new phone and it's doing a 6 hour download with updates.  Can I restore the data from my old phone backup onto the new iPhone 4S when the download is done?

  • Printer keeps asking for a password when printing in safari or firefox

    Hello I'm new to the Mac. I have been a PC User for over 30 years.
    Here is my issue. I print in safari or Firefox and every time it asks for a password from the user. I click remember the key but everytime it pops up when I want to print.
    How do I fix this.
    Thanks

    Hello, & welcome to the forums & Macdom!
    Welll, this is a new one on me, does it print from other Apps without a Password?
    Is this for any site, or just certain ones?

  • How do I change the Apple ID that the AppStore on my iPhone defaults to? In settings I am logged into one account, but when I try and update various Apps from within the AppStore the default account that comes up, asking for my password, is different.

    Eg, the phone automatically brings up an old (defunct) AppleID account login every time I try to update my Apps. I don't know the pword for this account, nor does it have current data about me.
    But when I go to settings: store it shows me logged into the correct account.
    I have already tried:
    logging out and logging back in
    downloading a new App from within AppStore (in that case it doesn't ask me for my password or bring up the old AppleID)
    Syncing the phone, confirming that I have the right AppleID account set up on iTunes
    I don't want to have to delete all my paid apps just because I downloaded them long ago with an older Apple ID.
    Help please!

    The very similar situation with mine:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3492726
    I can't find any solution. I don't even remember when I changed my apple ID! So does that means I cant recovered my purchased apps from my " old" account? I am totally innocent, for I did not intend to "Change" my account name

  • HT204053 I changed my Apple ID (email address) to a new Apple ID (email address), but my iPhone is asking for my password on my old email address which has been discontinued, now I can not get into iCloud or add Apps because the old email and password do

    I recently changed my Apple ID (to my new email address), but my iPhones are still showing my old Apple ID and are asking for my old password.  It no longer exists and now I can not add any Apps or get into iCloud because they previous ID no longer exists but that is what is popping up in Apple ID box and I cannot change it on the phone.  How do I get my new Apple ID assigned to my phone(s)?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If it's iCloud that is asking for these details:
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
    This article provides more information about Activation Lock.
    If it's iTunes asking for these details:
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • Im trying to backup my old iphone to my new one and it keeps asking for a password? and i dont know what the password is!! :(

    Well, it simply is not possible to backup one iPhone to another, therefore you cannot possibly be having a problem doing something that is simply not possible.

  • Trying to get into the app store and it asks for my password. The problem is that it is showing an Apple ID I don't use ghosted in. I can't figure out how to use my correct ID.

    Trying to get into the App Store to update some apss. It asks for my password but the problem is that it is showing ghosted an Apple ID I don't use. Can't figure out how to fix it.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

    My AppStore id is my apple id n password which is good when purchasing. But when I am updating from update option it ask for a password. The user id I see there is not mine, it's different. How do I change that to my apple Id? Please help me resolve  this issue. I have tried resetting it but nothing... Either I'm doing something wrong or....

    I believe the issue is with the Apple ID that was used to purchase the App. If you download an App that was purchased under a different Appple ID then all updates will also be linked to the original purchaser's Apple ID. Your Apple ID is the the same ID as your iTunes, iCloud, etc. Some folks use different ID for the different Apple sites. No need for that One ID for all Apple Sites, and if someone else buys an App using their ID and they(you) download that App onto your device and that App requires an update it will ask for the purchasers Apple ID. This happens a lot when folks sell their iPad or give it to someone else and leave some purchased(free) Apps on the iOS device. You cannot change the original ID the App was purchased under. A suggestion would be if someone else has an App that you like but do not want to pay for use their ID or in the future have them gift the App to you.

  • Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop?

    Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop? It pops up every single day.

    Erica,
         I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
         I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it.  His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
         It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
         Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987. 
         I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
       For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
         Best.

    I am trying to restore my Ipad 2 from iCloud but at a certain point I am asked for the password for ******** even though the account I am trying to restore is ********.  I have checked all my account setting and cant see where that email address comes from. Has anyone else had this problem? Has my account been hacked?

    Could the purchase have been made using a different Apple account?  If so, you may need to contact Apple to find out how to transfer it to the iPad's account.
