I'm able to print from my laptop so why can't I print from my iPad

I have a third generation time capsule and my printer is attached via a USB my lap top will connect but my iPad will not

The iPad uses a different operating system that requires a printer to be AirPrint compatible.
It is very likely that your printer is not compatible if it is connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule, since AirPrint works over wireless only....not USB.
You might be able to get the iPad to print by using a workaround and installing an App like Print Central on the iPad.
There is no guarantee that this will work, but it's worth a try if printing from the iPad is important to you.
PrintCentral for iPad on the iTunes App Store

  • Hi, I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro but cant get the mirroring function to work with Apple TV.  I've got the most recent Software 10.7.5 but cant see the mirroring icon or turn this on.  I'm able to mirror from my Ipad but not my Mac, any thoughts?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring is supported on your Mac, but it needs OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    You have two possibilities:
    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion to upgrade to this OS X. Then, you will find the AirPlay Mirroring icon at the top right of the display, on the menu bar, or on System Preferences > Displays.
    2. Keep OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    Both options work properly, but I recommend AirPlay Mirroring as it doesn't need a third-party program

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    or here:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • Why can I copy music to my iPad or iPod touch from multiple computers but from only one computer using my iPhone?

    Why can I copy music to my iPad or iPod touch from multiple computers but from only one computer using my iPhone?
    IPads and iPod Touches don't seem to have the same media copying restriction that my iPhone has. My main computer is at home. I have music at home and at work and sometimes I like to add it to my iPhone from work. I can do this no problem using my iPad or my iPod touch, but when it comes to my iPhone, I can only copy music to it from my main computer.
    Why would the iPhone have this restriction but not the other two devices?
    ps. Where's my "add currently playing song to playlist" button? I can't even find a third-party music app with this feature.

    Because...!
    I've no idea why either.
    Although it isn't normally possible to sync an iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers (or manually manage an iPhone from more than one) it can be achieved if all computers have copies of the self same library. See Re: how do i sync on a second laptop without the data on my iPhone 5 being erased?

  • I'm not able to text from my iPad ?

    Not sure why I can't text from my iPad ?

    1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices e.g. IPhone and iPad
    2. The receiving party must also be registered with iMessage
    Note: The two above conditions must be met.

  • Has anyone been able to mirror from their iPad 2 to their Apple TV?

    I can use AirPlay to play videos from my iPad but not mirror my iPad screen to my Apple TV? Any suggestions? Thanks

    I figured it out. My Apple TV for some reason wasn't updating to the latest version. It was stuck at 4.3.
    This might be what's happening for other people.
    To fix this:
    Disconnect the power and HDMI cables from Apple TV. Note: If you do not disconnect the power cable before connecting the micro USB cable, you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list.
    Connect one end of a micro USB cable to the back of your Apple TV, and the other end to one of your computer's USB ports.
    Open iTunes on your computer.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

    This will install version 4.4.1 and the mirror option will be available once it's plugged back in and you set up your network again...

  • Why can I not hide iPhone and iPad app purchases made from my iTunes account using the Mac version of iTunes?

    I have applications on my iPhone and iPad that I don't want to show up on the family sharing menu (i.e., kid inappropriate stuff). When I follow the instructions from apple support for hiding apps, my iPhone and iPad apps cannot be "X-ed" out by hovering the mouse over the app icons in iTunes. Why can't I hide these?

    You should be able to hide them, it's just that the 'x' is invisible (I assume that it's a bug with the current version of iTunes) - click on the app's top left corner where the 'x' should be, and it should become hidden.

  • I downloaded an audiobook to my laptop but I can't sync it to my iPad.  I have tried everything!!!

    I bought an audiobook and had it go to my laptop.  I want to sync it to my iPad and nothing I do works.  This is so frustrating as I wanted it on my iPad originally.  I have gone in 'books' and selected the 'audiobooks' below and it still won't sync.  I noticed it is in purchased but it won't go into any library except the books but that's of no help (see above).  Can anyone help me???

    You are sure that it is not in the More tab of the Music app on the iPad, where you should find synced audiobooks?

  • Why can't I access my desktop library through home sharing on my laptop?, Why can't I access my desktop library through home sharing on my laptop?

    I just bought a new laptop and it has the latest update of itunes as does my desktop computer. I have turned on home sharing on both devices and am signed in to my account yet I cannot access my itunes library from my desktop on my laptop. Can you help me?
    Ollie

    If the iTunes Library.itl file is also on the external drive, try launching iTunes while holding down the Shift key, and when the dialog window opens that allows you to create a new library or open an existing one, choose to open an existing one, navigate to the folder that contains that library file and select it.
    If that works, note for the future that if you launch iTunes when that external drive isn't mounted, iTunes will default back to the normal location on the internal drive and you'll have to repeat the Shift-launch process.
    Hope this helps.

  • I bought Adobe XI on disk, want to install it on desktop and laptop.  Why can't I?

    I installed this copy of Acrobat XI Pro on my MacPro laptop, but I also want it on my Mac desktop. Since I am the owner of both machines, why cant I install it on both?

    Thanks.  On the first install on my laptop, my bona fides were sent to some outside company that verified that I am indeed an education professional.  But when I tried to install on my desktop, it just told me the number had already been used.  I wanted to contact Adobe in the first place to try and figure this out and they make it impossible--none of their help prompts were helpful and there was no email address to send my query to.  I will search again and see about calling them.

  • I have bought an airport express after being assured that I will be able to print from my IPad. I have installed airport utility on my Hp laptop and it is configured correctly but the printer I have is showing neither on laptop nor on IPad. Can u tell how

    I bought an airport express after being assured that I will be able to AirPrint from my IPad. I have set up airport utility on my Hp laptop and configured it properly with the express. But still I'm not able to detect the printer attached to the USB port of airport express, neither on my laptop nor on my IPad. Can someone tell me if and how it can be done?

    Who assured you that an AirPort Express would allow you to use AirPrint from an iPad. They were incorrect.
    AirPrint from iPads and other iOS devices is only supported on a select few wireless network printers that expressly advertise that feature. An AirPort Express will not add that feature to a printer that does not support AirPrint. Also, for printers that do support AirPrint a wireless access point is not required since the printer needs to support wireless networks connections internally.
    The HP laptop should however be able to print to the printer connected to the AirPort Express. Try also installing the Bonjour Print Services for Windows. It will make printer discovery a lot easier when using Bonjour enable devices like an AirPort Express.

  • I used to be able to airplay from Ipad1 to AppleTV, but now it doesnt support it.  Why not?

    When I first got Apple TV about 2 years ago, I was able to airplay from my Ipad 1.  It wasnt called mirroring back then, but it worked the same.  Now it doesnt support that.  Whats up with that?  Is there a way to work around that?

    Verizon is not doing that it is the mail that is doing that.
    Check your device settings for email and read the owners manual as to how to set up mail to download. How you want it, leave on server, etc.
    Good Luck

  • I installed CS3 on my windows 8 laptop, and I can't open my raw images in camera raw. It worked fine on my old XP computer

    I installed CS3 on my windows 8 laptop. Why can't I open my raw images in camera raw? Worked fine on my old XP computer

    If in photoshop cs3 you go to Help>About Plug-In and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
    Which camera are the camera raw files from?
    After you downloaded the Camera_Raw_4_6.zip, you unzipped (extracted) the file and then copied the Camera Raw.8bi to
    Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats (windows 8 64 bit)
    or
    Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats (windows 8 32 bit)
    replacing the existing camera raw 8bi?
