I have a Canon MG2950 printer but it won't connect to my Mac even though it is meant to be compatible? Help :(

Canon doesn't offer much support or instructions on the matter. I go to 'http://ugp01.c-ij.com/ij/webmanual/Select/EN/SLT/slt-region.html?AL=1' to start the installation, enter all the info, get all the way along but then when it comes to the last section and actually finding the printer it can't do it and says Apple doesn't have the software or something (I can't remember exactly what it says). Somebody help

  • Ipad recognizes printer but it won't connect.

    My iPad recognizes my printer, but it won't connect.  Any suggestions?

    Hey Dish1,
    I understand your printer is showing offline to your IPad.
    You could try turning off and on the printer.
    If that does not work try turning off the IPad completely (must show you the apple logo).
    Please let me know if you require further assistance and include the printer model.
    Thanks

    I have a canon multifunction printer that used to work with snow leopard but since I updated to mountain lion it stoped working. How do I make it work again?

    This problem is not unheard of when upgrading from Snow Leopard. It is usually solved by completely deleting the existing printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan, and adding it again.

    I have a HP wireless printer, and im trying to connected to my macbook pro. But will not connect..

    Isaaura - what printer model do you use?
    While opening Safari click the Bookmarks icon and select Bonjour.. can you see the printer listed there?
    (If Bonjour is not listed click Safari > Preferences > Bookmarks and check Bonjour within the Collections section)
    Can you access the printer by typing its IP from Safari?
    If the printer not available only thoguh Bonjour but an be reached by its IP, what router brand and model are you using?
    Templeton Peck - correct me if I'm wrong, the different OS X forums have a dedicated forum for printing and scanning.. as Apple no longer produce printers about the last 2 decades I would assume those forums meant to deal with other manufactures over OS X..

    I have a Canon MP640 and I am trying to connect my Macbook Air to the wi-fi how do I do this?  I have been able to connect through the USB no problems.

    What version of mac are you running? Have you downloaded any of the drivers/software off the website yet? If not, you will need to download and install the CUPS Printer Driver and the Canon IJ Network tool.
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_series/pixma_mp640#DriversAndSoftware
    Then, you will want to open and use the Network Tool to set up the network connection

  • Hi, I have adobe acrobat 6.0 but it won't run on windows 7, is there an update availabe?

    Hi, I have adobe acrobat 6.0 but it won't run on windows 7, is there an update availabe?

    I agree with Doc, but there may be a work around. Actually, your best solution is to just buy AA XI. The work around depends on what you mean by does not work. Do Acrobat and Distiller both install and appear to function? Is the problem one of not being able to print? If both of these answers are yes, then you can install an independent PS printer (maybe one from Adobe or one of the HP color PS printers), change the name to Adobe PDF for your use (not required), and change the port to FILE. Then to create a PDF you would print to that printer and open the file created in Distiller to create a PDF file. May or may not work. However, AA6 is so old, it is likely to cause other problems, even if this process works. If nothing else, it will not open some of the newer PDFs that are being created today (at least I would guess that will be the case). So buying XI is really in order.
    Other issues that may crop up will be activation (will likely fail) and updates that have to be obtained from the FTP site and not the web.

  • TS1538 Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows.

    Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows. However, the driver "Microsoft teredo Tunneling adapter" has a yellow exclamation mark, which i believe means it's not installed correctly or something is wrong with it. This driver is under the Network Adapters (Please see picture below).
    This is what happens when I connect my iPhone 4s to my laptop (Windows 7 Starter 32-bit)
    1. The phone charges it's battery
    2. I can open it in My Computer and import/export media files.
    In iTunes
    3. It start to sync until step 3 then stops.
    4. The iPhone option with an arrow appears beside the iTunes Store, but when the arrow is clicked it disappears.
    I hope you can provide me a solution for this problem.
    Thanks,
    Ralph

    Hi ralphagir,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    For your iTunes issue with it not recognizing your iPhone, I would go ahead and suggest deleting iTunes and all of its components from your Windows computer and installing fresh.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    As far as the arrow button that you click and the iPhone disappears, it sounds like you may be clicking on the eject button. Please take a look at the following article for information on the eject button in iTunes.

  • I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both

    I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both without loosing my music, if I plug my ipod into PC it won't read it

    You need to transfer the music from your iPod on to your iTunes library on your PC, since that is where you are currently syncing and where you are signed into iTunes Match.  It doesn't matter that you were previously syncing it with a Mac, and you won't need to reinstall iTunes on your PC.  But you will have to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer any music not purchased from the iTunes store from your iPod to your iTunes library.  Here's another guide on this, which is shoter and you may find easier to follow: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive.  Also, if you're using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar.  This will make it easier to follow along with these guides.

I don't know what to do from here... I have money on my account but it still asks for billing info... i have no credit card to put down so what do i do?

    I have money on my account but it won't let me buy anything....
    Yes it will.
    In Canada, you cannot buy apps with iTunes gift certificates but you can buy music, tv shows and movies.

  • What do I do if I have one Apple ID for my phone and a different one for my mac. I have tried to sync garageband to my mac from my phone but it won't connect. Is it because of the different ID's? If so what can I do to fix it?

    You can use one account with iTunes on your Mac, and different account(s) with the Mac App Store (for buying/downloads apps or OS updates for your Mac), iCloud (System Preferences > iCloud) and Messages (Messages > Preferences, or command-comma)
