I need glasses w/laptop but not desktop

Can anyone explain this? I absolutely must wear glasses to read anything on my 17' laptop, yet when I use the desktop at work I can read even the tiniest typeface. However, with the laptop at work, once again I must wear glasses to see anything clearly. Why are laptops blurry and desktops clear?

It may be the desktop is brighter than the laptop so your pupils go to a smaller aperture setting, thus more depth of field and sharper image.

Officejet All In One 6600 - Print from all Laptops but not Desktop

I got this printer for Xmas and have spent hours trying installing, reinstalling using Scan/Print Doctor software, etc. I run a home network through Uverse Gateway. The router is a 2Wire 3800HGV-B. I am not runing a firewall on my desktop just A/v Avira. I can ping the printer successfully from my laptop, but just can't print to it, Running Win 7. Connected to network through Ethernet cable to router.
The printer is gryed out. When I go to device manager I find that it has a Code 28 stating driver is not installed. When I try and install the basic driver the OJ6600 exe file just hangs on Checking Netowork Environment.
In one of my previous installations I did get it to work through a USB cable, but find it totally impractical (distance) and part of the whole reason we got a wireless. I now save docs on flash drive, take them to Laptop to print. Have called support with no luck. Most recently changed ports, but realize something does not allow the driver to install which I can not figure out.

OK, print off a network configuration page.
Press the Power button ( ) to turn on the product.
Touch the Right Arrow ( ) to display the second navigation screen.
Touch Setup ( ).
Touch Network .
Touch the Down Arrow ( ), and then touch Print Network Configuration.
NOTE:
Your product's printed configuration page might look different than the example in the following figure.
Figure 8: Example of the Network Configuration Page
Image: An example of a Network Configuration Page
After this open Internet Explorer and in the address bar type in the IP address it gives you on the network configuration page, and then hit enter.
This will bring you to the printers EWS. Once you're on the page go to the tools tab, and then scroll down and select print self-test page.
Let me know if it prints the test page out.

Hi kjohns2001,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you do not have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, then you don't need iCloud.
It is a service that keeps these devices and your computer synchronized.
iCloud Control Panel 3.0 for Windows

iCloud keeps mail, contacts, and calendars up to date between your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Windows PC, and lets you share calendars and task lists.
So, you can uninstall it from the Control Panel in Windows.

Can connect with laptop but not desktop

The desktop that i have the router wired to can't connect to the router's homepage or the internet, although i can get a response if ping the router's ip. However, I can connect to the net wirelessly with my laptop. What gives?

HI , can you provide a few network details ? what router are you using ? what's the current firmware ? what wireless card and OS.

Mail password refused with laptop but not desktop.

Can anyone help? My intel macbook suddenly started giving me messages"The POP server “mail.talktalk.net” rejected the password for user “Andy Smith”. This is really weird as my desktop, an intel iMac has no such problem and connects immediately using the same info.

Your Keychain may be slightly corrupted, so try opening Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid and run that, which may fix the problem. If it doesn't (you have to test it by restarting Mail and trying to connect first), then go into the Password > Internet section of Keychain Access, find that password and delete it.
Then try connecting again and when you're prompted for the password for that account, enter it and check to the box to save it in the Keychain. That should fix it for certain.

My MP990 will scan using my Win 7 laptop but not with my XP desktop

I have been running my MP990 using a WiFi connection. I had to replace the printer with another MP990. I can still use the scanner function using the Win 7 laptop but not on the desktop XP. With XP, I get the following message:
Cannot comunicate with scanner for these reasons:
- Scanner is turned off
- Scanner is disconnected
(It is disconnected from LAN, if using on LAN)
Please check and try again
Scanner Driver will be closed
Code:5,145,55
Since it will scan using the Win 7 "Windows Fax and Scan" but will not work on the desktop XP, I suspect I need to re-install the software. I don't have the orifinal disk but I did download a couple of files: MP990soswin100us.exe or mpnx_3_0-win-3_05-ej-exe
Can I just run one of the above .exe files to take care of my problem?

Hi gooch,
I recommend installing both of the files you mentioned as one is the driver and the other is MP Navigator. The driver will get the basic files installed, but the MP Navigator gives you an easy to use interface to power the scanner.

Unable to update apps since I have closed my Verizon e-mail account. The old ID address pops up and I can not do updates. I can not use the old password since the account is closed. I have a new ID and password on my laptop but not for my I phone.

My Verizon e-mail account is closed and I can not access the needed updates for my I phone apps. Even if I knew the password I would have to access the old e-mail account which I can not do. I have an ID and password for my new laptop but not for my I phone which is under a Verizon service contract....ugh!!! Thanks

You don't need to access the email account.
Use the link provided by robdrage to update your old AppleID.

HT3669 Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. Can someone please advise me how I get the printer to work with my i-Mac? I have installed it but documents don't print. Thanks

Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
Thanks, John Lee

Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.

AOL Broadband, will connect to laptop, but not connect to internet explorer. WRT54GS v.6

I can connect to my wireless network via my laptop, but not to internet explorer. We have changed every setting imaginable and re-set the modem, router many times. We Ip configed, did ping tests, installed and re-installed the card in the laptop. Done all this 4 times with the tech support from Linksys. Finally, I realized it must the wireless router and/or modem configuration. (The laptop works on every other network in town except ours, and has not security settings enabled).
I have been on customer service calls for 2 weeks, with AOL and linksys and nothing seems to be helping me. I have 2 wireless routers (thought the first was bad, so bought another brand new), and just had a brand new modem installed. Basically, I have brand new equipment.
The laptop has no security settings and connect to any wireless network in town. It finds the connection to my WRT54GS v.6, but will not connect via internet explorer.
I want to uninstall and re-install the router. How do I uninstall the router? (I have instruction for re-installation). Also AOL rep told me, to make sure I configure the router to a certain port range. Any ideas as to how to do this?
Anyone have problems with AOL high speed and linksys router? Has the high speed cable cord coming out of the wall, not ethernet or DSL.
We have changed the settings in http://192.168.1.1 till I am blue in the face. None of the channels worked, security didn't work, adding the ip address manually to the laptop didn't work. I am getting no error messages. Am trying to get this wireless modem working because I need it. Should have come to this forum first!

hi..if you want to uninstall the router...the only thing you need to do is hold the reset button down for 30 seconds...
i m a bit confused here as to why the ISP techs asked you to forward ports on the router...port forwarding is needed for a specific application or a device that is behind the router....
the mentioned ports are for AOL messenger ( AIM )....and has nothing to do with the modem...anyways , let us work out together on this issue...carry out the steps i mention and you can revert back with the results and your success rate...
1) connect the computer to the modem and check what ip address you have on the computer ??
2) go to start -> control panel -> network connections ->
let me know what other icons you have besides Local Area Connection and Wireless Network Connection..
3)connect the computer to the router and the router to the modem...
access the router using http://192.168.1.1 .. let the internet connection type be on DHCP....check the ip address on the status page of the router ui...
4) if it is 0.0.0.0 , go to setup tab and go to mac address clone subtab , enable it and hit clone..save the settings and do a power cycle...
5) check whether you have the ip address...if you have the same ip as coming off of the modem..u should be online and if still 0.0.0.0 , then select PPPoE for the internet connection type and enter the username and password...check whether the ip address comes up....if still negative, ensure that the modem is in bridge mode...
6)if the ip address comes up as 192.168.1.x , change the local ip add of the router to 192.168.2.1 and do a power cycle..
let me know for any help !!!

I am using Adobe Reader X on a laptop with Windows Vista OS and Adobe Reader XI on an older laptop with Windows XP OS. While filling out the same form on each computer, I have found that I can save info on the older laptop, but not on the newer one. This is a big problem. I must be able to save on the newer computer. Do I need to buy a new computer with a more up-to-date OS? Please help.

Adobe Reader X can only save reader-enabled forms. Adobe Reader XI can save all forms.

I have my iTunes library stored on an external hard drive which is connected to my airport extreme, I wish to share my iTunes library over my network, I can do this with my laptop, but not with my iPad, can anyone tell me if it is possible

You can't connect directly to the external drive, but should be able to use iTunes Home Sharing via the laptop.
