I'm going to scream...

I am able to use the internet connection from my parent's windows PC, but I am not able to network the printer.
I read that guy's guide, Lynx or Linus or Felix or whatever it was and the printer is just not showing up in my "workgroup." If it helps, there is no other network showing besides my "workgroup" showing if that helps at all.
Do I need to setup up an ACTUAL network still? Please help!

Yes, I did tell you you just may not know of the
guide I was talking about. Its cool. This is what I
have done so far. I got to (on my PC) My
COmputer=>Control Panel=>Printers/Fax=>Right-click my
printer=>"Shared"
I then go on my Macbook and then go through the whole
"more printers" bit but in my "Workgroup" network
(the only available) there is no printer showing up
in the network. Should I not be in "workgroup"
should I bring PC out of "workgroup" or take myself
out of it? If you need anymore information let me
know. And thanks for the help!
you never mentioned how you are trying to network the printer, i assumed you were using an actual network printer. from my understanding you can't share printers between PCs and Macs, never could. the only way to have an actual printer on a network is to have a network printer or get a device like the airport express or airport which both have USB ports. when you set a printer on your PC to be shared it can only be shared with other PCs

  • ITunes deleted ALL my apps and a lot of my music... I'm going to scream

    So I hooked up my iPod touch 2nd generation to my computer last week to Sync it and back it up. After the sync, EVERY SINGLE one of my apps was gone. Gone from my iPod, gone from iTunes... GONE GONE. Poof. I was mad.
    Mad doesn't begin to describe how I feel now that I plugged it in again today and 90 of my songs were deleted. Again from my iPod AND iTunes. I have no idea which ones they are yet. Everything on this iPod is legal and fully legit. No illegal downloads...etc. Why is this happening, and is there ANY way I can get this stuff back? I am so sick of this. iTunes is supposed to back up my stuff in case I lose it of my iPod so why is it taking it away?
    If anyone has any advice, I'd be forever grateful.
    Thank you.

    go into the itunes store, go to your account, click purchase history. that gives you a list of all the things you have downloaded.
    you will be able to re-download all your apps for free.
    and for the songs, click "report problem", this will allow you to email apple, tell them that you have lost your songs, they will usually respond fairly quickly saying that they have put the songs back into your account and that they will be available to download the next time you go into itunes.

  • Why do I keep getting an unknown error when trying to download an app from the app store on my iPod touch 4th generation when I put in the correct password?

    I keep getting the same unknown error has occurred when trying to download an app what is wrong?

    as an example.. from the sprint forum for a different device (unsure what device.. it's just not an iphone since no iphone or ios device has these settings -- ive seen this advice several times and I believe it's some form of android.. but not sure)
    advice from the carrier advisor --
    "Clear data in the Dialer and Dialer storage.... under manage Applications> All.
    That is Settings - Applications - Choose All to view All choices - then find Dialer and clear the Data. Repeat this for the Dialer Storage as well. I personally also deleted the message thread first from the text message window and my log history which is a menu item from your call screen."
    and another for you from a customer -- it is sprint again.. but this time a Samsung Epic
    "OMG ... if someone can't tell me how to fix this "9230: Message sent using invalid number of digits..." error, I'm going to scream.  My husband and I both have Sprint Epic phones and love them EXCEPT for this one problem! Help!"
    Maybe they should sue Samsung?

  • My mac keeps freezing....

  • IPhone 5 showing no network when auto selected for carrier, select manually signal ok, software of hardware problem?

    Hi,
    I have a iPhone 5, since day one I have had poor reception, 1 bar, when my daughters Samsung S3 has 3 bars, same network btw. It makes me feel I bought the wrong phone.  If one more person at Three or Apple tell me to restore my phone to factory settings, I am going to scream. Also when network is selected as auto, the phone, when it feels like it goes to no service.  It is only when I select the network manually, does it get a signal.
    The phone is still under Apple's 90 day support, I was reminded today by a Apple rep of this. After the 90 days I would have to buy Applecare for any software related problem.  So basically if Apple do not ressolve the problem with my "not fit for purpose phone" within the 90 days, I will have to pay for it. This is not good customer service Apple, I am someone who has believed in your productsas I have an iMac and iPad. I waited years to get an iPhone because I had the 3GS, which I thought was crap, the iPhone 5 convinced me to give the iPnone another try, I have had nothing but problems with it, previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy Note, no problems at all.
    Has any one else had this problem with the iPhone 5?, I thought it might be Apple's dreaded aerial problem that caused so many problems on the iPhone 4.
    I would be grateful for some suggestions, I have already been advised to use it as an expensive doorstop, not funny.
    Many thanks.

    Well I had the exact same problem with my Iphone 5s, I tried many things such as turning the airplane mode on/off, restarting the device and also did a network settings reset. Nothing helped.
    The next thing I did was to do a general reset via iTunes to factory settings (Made a backup first. Very important if you can connect to iTunes, it's a MUST). When the phone booted-up again, I had to ''activate the phone. But to activate it, I needed a connection with a network. But that was the whole problem so I was stuck and couldn't do anything with the device.
    So I called the Apple support centre. We tried a few things, they all dindn't work. The last option (which worked for me) was to do a recovery (I have no idea what this reset is called)  via the device+ iTunes.
    To perform the reset, please follow these steps and hopefully it will work for you as well.
    1. Open iTunes
    2. Connect your USB cable to the computer, NOT to your device yet.
    3. Power Off your device, and be sure that it is Off.
    4. Press the home and hold it.
    5. Connect the USB cable to your phone. You will see a iTunes logo on your device, you can release the home button.
    6. Do a recovery via iTunes. iTunes will now recover the phone.
    If it doesn't work the first time, try again. I had to do it twice and luckily it worked the second time.
    I hope that this will help, Good luck!

  • The Metrinome is off! Why do I still hear a beat....

    I feel like I'm losing my mind! Every time I create a new track it appears with an internal beat! Before I even choose a loop. If one more person tells me it's the metronome, I'm going to scream. I turned it off, it's not the metrinome. And no, it's the Itunes... come on now, give me some credit. Any suggestions??!!!!

    how did you turn it off?

  • This is driving me mad. (Map problem...)

    I've been programming a java text-based game for quite a while now. Unfortunately I'm having a problem.
    Simple version---
    For some reason I use thismap = thatmap. And when I modify thatmap it also changes thismap
    Long Version---
    First I have a map for the itemtemplate to be copied.
    Next it copies the itemtemplate into a newmap(thisitem).
    Next it replaces the name in thisitem to the new name(so that each item has a different name).
    Next i put that item in the itemmap for the user. Then I replace the key "items" in Map user with the updated itemmap.
    For some reason when I change the name in thisitem, it also changes the name in the template otemp1. This is the problem
    Here is where the problem seems to be-
    Map thisitem = otemp1;
    thisitem.put("name",iname);
    items.put(iname,thisitem);
    newmap.put("items",items);
    users.put(newmap.get("name"),newmap);
    otemp1.put("name",itembase);
    System.out.println(newmap.get("items").toString());
    The code---
    if (action.indexOf("giveitem")==0) {
    String actionparts[] = action.split("#");
    //giveitem#templatename
    Map items;
    if (newmap.containsKey("items")) {
    items = (Map) newmap.get("items");
    } else {
    items = new HashMap();
    if (itemtemplates.containsKey(actionparts[1])) {
    Map otemp1;
    otemp1 = (Map) itemtemplates.get(actionparts[1]);
    if (!otemp1.containsKey("alwayscalled")) {
    String itembase = otemp1.get("name").toString();
    int x = 1;
    String iname = "" + itembase + x;
    System.out.println(otemp1.get("name").toString());
    //this method is to add a number to the end, such as
    //potion5 so that a user doesn't have multiple items with the same name
    while ( items.containsKey(iname) ) {
    iname = "" + itembase + x;
    x = x + 1;
    System.out.println("itembase:"+itembase+" iname:"+iname+" x:"+x);
    System.out.println("CREATING:"+iname);
    Map thisitem = otemp1;
    thisitem.put("name",iname);
    items.put(iname,thisitem);
    newmap.put("items",items);
    users.put(newmap.get("name"),newmap);
    otemp1.put("name",itembase); //See Note 1
    System.out.println(newmap.get("items").toString());
    } else {
    otemp1.put("name",otemp1.get("alwayscalled"));
    items.put(otemp1.get("alwayscalled"),otemp1);
    newmap.put("items",items);
    users.put(newmap.get("name"),newmap);
    //name=gold1~type=gold~takeable=true~amt=100~at=Ashgavh1
    //Map itemmap1 = new HashMap();
    //itemmap1.put("name",goldbase+z);itemmap1.put("type","gold");
    //itemmap1.put("amt","100");
    //itemmap1.put("takeable","true");itemmap1.put("at",newmap.get( "location" ));
    //objects.put(goldbase+z, itemmap1);
    } else {
    System.out.println("ERROR:Give Item Failure(No Template FOR "+callingobj+").");
    //objects.put(
    note1
    That was my first attempt to fix it, but that changes the items name in the Map user.get("items") also!! Why? I feel like I'm going to scream. Thanks to anyone who can help me.

    thismap and thatmap are not objects. They're just references--pointers to objects.
    thatmap = thismap doesn't copy the map. Assignment with = never copies objects in Java. All it does is cause thatmap to point at the same map object that thismap points at. So, naturally, when you change the contents of that object, both references (thismap and thatmap) see the changes.
    Look at the APIs for Map.putAll(Map map) or a constructor that takes another Map as an arg. Either one will copy the contents of the map.
    But be warned, that's just a shallow copy. The new Map gets its own keys and values, but those are references to the same objects that the original map had.
    You can put/remove to one map without it affecting the other, but if you modify the contents of any of the keys (generally a bad idea anyway) or the values, then both Maps will see the changes. If you need to prevent that, you'll have to make copies of each of the key and value objects.

  • XML Help -- State of Confusion

    If I go to one more White Paper or buy another book on XML I am going to scream..
    I got that off my chest. I have what I think is .XML script. I also have an Oracle 10G database. I am attempting to load the data into the database. My steps went something like.
    Create a XML DB Repository.... (I got the following error message:
    SQL> BEGIN
    2 dbms_xmlschema.registerSchema
    3 (
    4 SCHEMAURL =>'http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdk/message.xsd',
    5 SCHEMADOC => bfilename('orbmgr','message.xsd'),
    6 CSID => nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')
    7 );
    8 END;
    9 /
    BEGIN
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-22285: non-existent directory or file for FILEOPEN operation
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 523
    ORA-06512: at "XDB.DBMS_XMLSCHEMA", line 121
    ORA-06512: at line 2
    Do I need to create the table of XMLType before I create the repository?

    You don't have to buy another new book, but you should read...(i still have to do a lot myself ;-) Nethertheless. A lot of good Mark Drake examples are already on the current forum entry page. Look carefully regarding the dbms_xmlschema.registerschema syntax. Schemaurl shouldn't be the one you are using but something like http://www.mysite.com/blabla (could be a nonexisting one, as long as all references to this namespace are correct). The schemadoc reference is calling a directory called "orbmgr". Does it exist AND is de case-sensitive part correct (look for the CREATE DIRECTORY syntax in the manuals on otn.oracle.com ---> XML DB Developers Guide is an important one, including the SQL reference manual).
    If you would lookup the dbms_xmlschema.registerschema syntax you would also see references to input variables like local, etc. see below
    dbms_xmlschema.registerSchema
    schemaURL (namespace registration of XML schema)
    schemaDOC (resource pointer to your XML schema)
    local (or global)
    genTypes -->generate types
    genBeans (not implemented yet / future reference)
    genTables --> generate tables
    schemadoc --> where does your schema reside?
    If you would drag/drop it into the repository via webdav or via ftp then the syntax would be something like
    dbms_xmlschema.registerSchema
    (schemaURL => 'http://www.mysite.nl/myxsdplace/myxmlschema',
    schemaDoc => xdbURIType ('/public/droppedithere/myxmlschema.xsd').getClob(),
    local => TRUE,
    genTypes => TRUE,
    genBeans => false,
    genTables => TRUE
    CSID => nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'));
    );

  • IOS 5 Update, wait, re-connect, back-and-forth may solve some things...

    I just updated an iPad first generation (iPad 1) and I was going to scream as my Mac Pro iTunes showed no music, videos or photos.
    I was luckily surprised to see that my Apps were kept in their own folders. (I have close to 250)
    I disconnected the iPad.
    Opened the new 'Music' app and it said 'No Music'.
    Opened the new 'Videos' app and it said 'No Videos'.
    I was very frustrated. I re-connected the iPad to my computer and I saw the music and video playlists in my Mac Pro iTunes. I could play the vidos and music from my desktop computer, but I could not find any in my iPad (iTunes was showing all of it was there, just not the iPad)
    As I started to write feedback to Apple and trying to do some screenshots in my iPad, I suddenly saw that some playlists showed up. Then the videos showed up. I would say that it seemed like maybe the iPad and iTunes try to do some checking or sync in the background and suddenly somethings just show up. I am not sure if this is what happens or not.
    Currently, many of my songs are missing their album artwork (album covers) in the 'Music' app. I can see these album covers in my desktop iTunes. I know that these songs are from my personal CD's I have ripped or Music I have downloaded from other services. Like I said, the artworks is showing fine in iTunes, and was showing fine previous to the iOS 5 update, so what's wrong?
    Let's share more tips, insights and help with the Music artwork, playlists and videos.
    p.s. By the way, very annoyed that 'Newsstand' is an App you cannot drop inside a folder or group. iBooks, Messages, Reminders and AirPort Utility can be dropped inside folders/groups, why does Newsstand has to be a top icon?
    iOS 5 Updated
    on Mac Pro running 10.6.8 (I'll have to wait more reports or more solid Lion, Maybe I'll update when Wolverine is here ;-)

    i have 3 problems listed below while using iphone 4s with ios 5.1 version
    1. The screen goes blank(dark screen) when i try to call back (i.e redialing 2-3 times). then i have to press home button and once again i have to press call button(sometimes green layer which will be on top of the screen) and press red button to close the call and try once again.
    2. Sometimes my network drop zero then start searching network then display no service for few second and then the network once again appear (no issue with the network provider i checked with other phone which is working fine)
    3. When there is incoming call the people on the other end of the call (caller and not me) cant hear for first 2-5 sec (i did a count..ha..ah) they wont be able hear.
    Is it clear now buddy....

  • Desktop Manager Has Stopped Working @ Processing Device Calendar During Sync Process

    I have a BB 8330 and have an annoying issue....it sync'd with MS Outlook for about 2 months after i got it then I started getting an error inthe sync process "Blackberry Desktop Manager Has Stopped Working, Windows is shutting it Down"....this always happens at the exact same point inthe sync process..."Processing Device Calendar".
    I've done everything, Verizon tech support...BB tech support...uninstall/reinstall...nothing has fixed it. I even deleted everything out of outlook and started over. The odd thing is that everything EXCEPT the calendar will sync....it's just when it gets to the "processing device calendar" is stops syncing and I get the 'DM Has stopped working' error and it closes.
    I am going to scream if I can't get this fixed...it's been going on since last October!!
    Any fixes out there?

    Hmm. That may be something in your calendar database is corrupt. Was your device ever synched before? There is a way of clearing the calendar database. So if you have your device synching with Outlook, after it's cleared from the BlackBerry, you could try synching again.
    To clear the calendar database you can go into Desktop Manager | Backup and Restore | Advanced. On the right hand side select the calendar database and hit the Clear button. Afterwards try synching again

  • Power Adaptor Is Not Charging.

    Hi guys
    I went on holiday for two weeks in which time my MacBook Pro was sat in my computer bag at my fathers untouched. I got back, turned the computer on and the battery was at 91% and it won't charge. It is now at 87% after being back nearly 2 weeks and still it doesn't charge.
    Things I have tried:
    - Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
    - Resetting System Management Controller (SMC)
    And both to no avail. Are there any other options that I can try regarding this?
    If I have to get something new within this computer, I'm going to scream as it is literally about a year and two weeks old now, so I can't get it on the warranty.
    Let me know as soon as possible guys.
    Thanks
    Steve.

    You may still qualify for a free replacement, see here for more details:

    Kerry03, welcome to the forum,
    you probably need to reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad tapping function or turn it off in the touchpad properties. (Control Panel > Mouse).
    You'll find a few more cases of this having happened if you search the boards .
    Hope this helps

  • Help with Contact "Groups" in iOS 6

    I could easily create favorites and groups before, but since updating to iOS 6, I still have the groups tab, which are empty, and I can find no way to create Groups. I've searched and searched, and the only things I find are from 2011, and they all tell me to use Outlook on my PC, and plug the phone into the PC, and create groups using Outlook.
    Well, I love not having to always connect my phone to sync, etc., and I DON'T use Outlook, nor should I be forced to use a MS program with my iPhone 4... Can someone tell me how to create groups in my iPhone 4, using the phone and Contacts to do so??
    And I'm going to scream if the only answer is that I have to install MS Office, just to get Outlook, and then plug my phone in to my laptop and use a MS tool to do something on my APPLE device!
    That's insane if that is STILL how you must do it. Should be as easy as clicking "Group", then when the empty Group page opens, click an "add Group".. Why wouldn't they do that (I'm hoping that someone will post that it is that easy, and I don't have to install Outlook)..
    Thanks in advance!

  • How can I turn off Universal Access?

    If my mouse cursor moves across the screen (without me moving it) to the dialog box one more time, I'm going to scream.
    Every time I uncheck "Enable Access for Assistive Devices" in the Universal Access Preference Pane, it becomes checked again after logging out or restarting.

    Hello,
    Try this: Locate this file: com.apple.universalaccess.plist
    It's here: MacintoshHD/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences
    Open the Preferences folder. Locate that file and drag it to the Trash. Empty the Trash and reboot. Your MBP will create a new preference file for you.
    Sometimes preference files can become corrupted... hopefully this will take care of it.
    Post back if you need more help,
