I have a dj6480 connected to wan by a bridge, running win7; now getting notice off line. xp works
How do I get printers back of line? Using bridgewith WAN running Window 7 Pro. Worked until 7 days ago. Machine running Windows XP Pro do not have this problem
Hi,
I use a similar configuration at home and frequently find that my bridge loses/resets its connection to the WLAN which causes the printer to lose its IP address. Sometimes my computers were still able to find the printers, sometimes it couldn't.
You can check if this is your issue by going to the printer and checking its ip address (sorry, I'm not familiar with this printer so I can't give exact steps). If the IP address starts with 169.254, then that is likely what happened.
Rebooting the printer should restore a valid IP address but the issue may recur. In my case, I changed the printer to use a static (manual) IP address.
I suspect that the difference between XP and Vista/Win7 is that XP is locked onto the MAC address of the printer while Vista/Win7 try to use the IP address. This is settable and may help:
Open Devices and Printers
Right click on the printer and select 'Printer Properties' (not 'Properties')
Select the Ports tab
Select Properties button
Check 'Always print to this device, even if its IP address changes"
Tell us how this works out!

Q:I have my iPad connected to my electrical outlet, but I can't get it to charge. It just says not charging in top right corner. What do I do?
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

I installed a new SSD drive in my computer and now Adobe Creative Suite Web Premium says I don't have a license. I have license. It was very expensive. I am disabled now, and I need this software working. Adobe Acrobat has been a primary tool for accommodating memory problems after a brain injury. (A car ran me down while I was out getting exercise.) I installed the SSD because I needed my management of PDF files to run faster. I called tech support for help when the software first stopped working, but they needed me to give them a number from my original disks. Because of my disability, I've been having someone come in to clean, and the shelves where I kept my software packages were cleared. I've been hunting for them ever since, but I can't look for them myself for very long at a time. Today I finally found them, but now I can't seem to contact tech support. What happened? I don't want to delete my old files because I need the setup to remain unchanged, because I don't do well with changes. I think all I should need is to have someone located the license file on drive E: and move it to wherever it is needed on the SSD drive, but I don't know what to look for.
Tech support is not normally available on weekends. You should contact them as soon as the weekend passes and pick up where you left off with them.

i have music on my phone but not in itunes and i cant get it off my phone .I dont know how it got there , but i suspect it came from icloud.
if it doesnt match that means your iPhone is not provisioned for the carrier you are trying to use. Your iPhone would need to be unlocked in order to use on other carriers. You will need to contact your carrier to see if this iPhone is unlocked py providing them the IMEI. If the iPhone is not unlocked you will need to contact the carrier that the iPhone is locked to to see if they will unlock the device to use on another carrier.

My iPhone's touch screen recently quit working, so I have a new one on the way so I tried to back-up my phone on my laptop and it will not connect. I've tried restarting the Apple Mobile Device services and that didn't work. So I completely unistalled iTunes using Apple's instructions and re-installed it and it still will not connect, and I don't use iCloud because the iPhone is my only Apple device. Is there any other way to get things off of my iPhone or is it all pretty much gone?
You need to get iTunes to recognize it. If your iPhone is working, which it is not, then a new screen would help. But you iPhone is broken beyond just a new screen. Now you can see why iCloud or even an iTunes Back Up is so important. iCloud back up is ideal for you, a one Apple device person, it automatically backs up your iPhone so there is a current back up ready to use anytime, especially in emergency like this. When you get your new iPhone, iPad anything use iCloudl it is free and simple.

I have an iPhone 5s, I downloaded ios 8.0.1 and now my Wi-Fi completely doesnt work
I have an iPhone 5s, I downloaded the newest upgrade to ios 8.0, and since I have updated it my Wi-Fi pretty much does not work at all. This is absolutely ridiculous because Apple is intentionally doing this so that you turn off your Wi-Fi and roam, and jack up your roaming charges. I have been writing for over a week now about this and absolutely nothing has been done. Apple ARE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR MY ROAMING FEES?! because you should, this is a complete and utter joke and the fact that it has still not been fixed just goes to show the lack of effort apple really puts into there products. this is the last piece of crap product i buy from apple, Galaxy here i come
since I have updated it my Wi-Fi pretty much does not work at all.
1OS 8.0.1 was replaced and no longer exists. Neither it or 8.0.2 have this issue. See this:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
because Apple is intentionally doing this so that you turn off your Wi-Fi and roam, and jack up your roaming charges. Apple ARE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR MY ROAMING FEES?!
Huh? This is a user-to-user tech support forum, Apple has no reason to "jack up roaming charges", which are collected by your cell carrier.

Recently I have not been able to open iTunes,I tried removing and reinstalling it but still won't open. I now get the message The file "iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Any suggestions on how to get iTunes to work again ?
Thanks
<Edited by Host>Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

I have an HP C6300 All In One Printer (wireless). It is always going "Off-line".
We have an HP C6300 All In One Printer that is wireless. We try and set the Properties on the laptops to "Use Off-Line" but that does not help. At points some of the laptops work and some don't. Now none of the computers can print. I have unplugged the printer and re-assigned it to my wireless network and nothing is working. we are out of warranty so I would have to pay for any tech support which is probably more than the printer cost, so if I cannot solve this I am getting rid of this printer!!
HI,
You should be able to just leave it on, it should have a sleep mode which it will enter after a while.

Does anyone know how apple are involved with the unlock as im jst not getting any answers from orange and they just keep saying they dont know why its takng so long
If it is Orange Uk then no surprises
They locked it originally and it is their gift to unlock ....usually in their own time.
This is how it should work

how can i relsolve my wifi issue with ios6 with my ipad. its been three days without internet. my ipad is having trouble detecting a wifi signal it finds my home network and then disaapears within seconds
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

Returned to an area where we had used the mifi routinely (most of the time 4g) with no connection issues last year. Couldn't connect a 2nd pc once another one was connected, so upgraded the firmware to most recent version. ----- no help! Still can only connect one pc at a time. What are possible problems??
Thanks for the comments John,
This a very confusing issue. Just this morning I was trying to connect PC1 to the jet pac. Even with PC2 and our tablet turned off and doing multiple reset of the jet pac I could not connect. So I shut down PC1, tried with with PC2 (both PCs run windows7) and PC2 connects just fine. OK, then I tried the tablet. Lo and behold the tablet connected - with the PC2 still connected - both would work (as they are suppose to) for the first time in the last 2 weeks. Then I close PC2, and try PC1 - it connects, no reset, no nothing, just reconnects (like it is suppose to). Talk about loosing my cool!!!!! At least the mifi is working now, but how in the world can I troubleshoot this system when the malfunction is inconsistent???????
