I would like to add my Deskjet F4480 printer to my home wireless network. How can this done?

I have a Linksys wireless router that is the hub of my home wireless network. I have been successful in adding a HP OfficeJet 6500 All-in-one Printer an old HP DeskJet 890C that I purchased in 1997 with a computer running Windows 95. The HP 890C has been my tireless workhorse throughout my two kids K-12 school as well as printing reams of paper during my MBA...and guess what: it still works. However, my daughter has just returned home from college and she has a HP DeskJet F4480 printer/scanner that she would like to add it to the home network. I have been researching the problem, but haven't been successful in finding out if this printer is compatible to add to a wireless network. Or simply, will a 802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter suffice? I am also adding a new Windows 7 laptop in the network, that will need to print to this F4480. I patiently await the forum's response.

My mistake, it seems that price was a deciding factor when I purchased the F4480 in lieu of a more expensive wireless ready printer-scanner. I will eventually come-up with a solution as I did with the 890C where I have a wireless print server connected directly to the printer serial connection. It seems that backward compatible is still evident, but I am having some problems coming up with the long-lasting HP49 and HP23 tri-color ink packs.
Here is the rub; I don't replace technology because it is out-dated. I upgrade and or repair everything myself. I found warranties not worth the paper their written on and in most cases, the technical support was lacking. My Win95 desktop went thru several major components until I found that it was becoming harder to find software to run with it. I finally replaced it in 2007. Now it seems that there has been a paradigm shift toward utilities that are very hungry for memory, and even if I didn't want to, I am forced to come over to the dark side with a device that has a minimum of 8GB of RAM.

MacPro1.1 with 3 internal hard drives, 2 with snow leopard OS & 1 with Lion OS, I have some software that will only run on OS 10.4.11, and I would like to add a 4th drive and format it to 10.4.11, can this be done aon this platform?

Hello,
I would like to load the 4th bay in my mac with a 2TB HDD and format it with the old system 4.11 will I have any problems?

Since it's a MacPro1,1, it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.4.7 and will run Mac OS X 10.4.11 when installed from its original disks(or the Mac OS X Server 10.4 Universal Binary) and updated.

Would like to add two devices since obtaining HDMI IV: a wireless keyboard

Secondly, I would like to have headphones to have capability to listen tv without disburbing bed partner. I see apple wireless keyboard requires blue tooth usb dongle which costs as much as keyboard, looking at a Kensington wireless keyboard which uses that other technology. Excuse my ignorance.
Do I need to buy both blue tooth and beamed to headphone as my mac doessn't have internal bluetooth. I use Belkin Wireless currently b not n. I found a site with great reviews for 802.11n Mac USB Wireless Adapter, which is n . But pricey. That may be ok as i don't want to go backwards. my systems is used by four rooms wired and wireless and I also want to buy a wireless adapter for an old G3 so it will work in my grandkids house across from kitchen to back two bedrooms.
Can anyone advise which keyboard: i don;t like feel of new Mac flat ones, it slows down typing, I also like white. PS I have a great $1245 Kensington Trackball. So I don't necessarily need combo unit except for the grandkids g3. Iknow this is a big order. But i spent all day learning terms and getting not much done online. Thanks in advance. New HDMI and switcher trying to network an old G3

I am asking about my G5 desktop 1.8.
You asked the right question but in the wrong forum. This is the GEE-FOUR area. That's is why no one is answering other than me, who realized you would benefit from moving your post and offered help to relocate it. I provided the link to the G5 forums previously. I'm sure that, if you post there, you will get help from people who use and manage G5 computers on a regular basis.
From your profile, I see that most of your other posts are in the proper G5 forum, I remain confused about why you insist on getting this question answered in the GEE-FOUR forums, and why polite help offered made you angry.
These are user-to-user forums, not staffed by Apple employees, and everyone volunteers their time without hope of remuneration. That's why the forums are organized by model; people with common equipment types can share ideas and help with common problems. Your computer does not match the equipment and experience base of the forum in whcih you posted.
Misplaced posts are common here due to some confusing labeling of forum areas. However, someone getting mad when politely told they are better served by reposting in the area matching their computer model is NOT common.

I would like to copy my Contacts from Windows to my iPhone 5? How can I do it?

Hi there
I have recently bought an iphone 5 and I would like to update my Contacts to the iphone 5 from my Windows PC. There in the Contacts folder under my user account in VCARD format, I tried doing it with iTunes, while changing it in the Info tab to 'Windows Contact' but it comes up with 'Syncing Contacts' in the iTunes but I can't see any contacts in my phone at all? I also tried to upload those Contacts to iCloud but then I get an error which is " Could not be imported because there was a problem reading the VCard ".
I really don't know why this is, but as you can understand I desperately need to copy my contacts.
Would anyone be able to suggest me where I am getting wrong please?
And also, I have just updated my phone to iOS 6.1.4. (Shouldn't really matter but just in-case).
Cheers ears!!

Right, I finally managed to get it sorted out.
iCloud only accept version 3.0 vcards, and the one I was using were version 2.1 so that's why it wasn't picking it up. So the easy way to get that sorted out is, use a gmail account.
I know you don't wanna do it because you think it's too much hassle and stuff, but trust me it only takes 5 minutes and that's it.
1. Create a Gmail Account.
2. Export your Old VCard files to the Gmail Account.
3. Now Import them from Gmail to your PC again.
And, that's it, that's just makes the new imported version in 1 file contains your all contacts in version 3.0. Now you can just upload that on icloud and then sync it with your iphone.
That's what I did and it worked, and I am sure if you wanna replace this file in the Contacts folder under your User Account in Windows and then try to sync Contacts in Tunes, it should work, but as I said, I did it with iCloud and it worked for me. So aye, that's pretty much it. Phewwww..
Been searching for it for the whole day and it took 5 minutes in the end, badass...
Anyway, don't lose hope and always Google for everything!

HT4910 I have a simple question or 2. 1) how can I see what is on my icloud and how do I edit the data if I do not want it on icloud. 2) I have an app that I would like to update data - it doesn't appear to be doing that, how can I fix that? It is the mob

1) how can I see what is on my icloud and how would I edit the data that is on it?
2) I am having problems with an app syncing data with pc - how can I fix that? It is mobile noter.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can see what's in iCloud collectively at settings > iCloud > storage & back up > manage.... You can only edit the data through the appropriate app (contacts, calendars etc)
For problems with 3rd party apps, contact the developer.

I would like to transfer my iMovie video from my Mac to a DVD. Can this be done?

I'm quite new to "iMovie", but I have some video of an event I shot for a friend. I'd like to send her a DVD of the "raw" footage now that I've dumped it off the camera to iMovie. Is do-able? How?
carloncam

Hi Ziatron?
Same question as Caroncam - I have iDVD but how do you get movie across????
Buy iDVD.
IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40. (works with all Mac OS 10.5 and newer.)

I was asked if I wanted to store a password and said no. I would like to change my mind and store password for that site. How can I get Firefox to ask again?

Brand-new MacBook Pro running Lion OS (10.7.1)

Hi cor-el -
Thanks for directing me to the Mozilla help pages for passwords. I had already done that to no avail.
I had deleted the particular saved password from my Saved Passwords list (because it didn't include my username), and I now want to add it, but FF won't offer a second chance to save.
The password is not in my Saved Passwords list nor is it listed in the Exceptions.
(I'm running on a brand-new MacBookPro with OS Lion 10.7.1.)
I found the following and tried it, but it didn't work:
• delete site from bookmarks
• clear history when FF closes in prefs
• quit FF
• restart FF
• uncheck clear history when FF closes in prefs
I still can't seem to make FF offer me a second chance to save a password for a particular site.
Any help is appreciated.

HT204053 I have an ipad that is my personal ipad and I just received an iphone for work. I have two separate id's for each, but I would like to connect my calendar from my ipad to my iphone. How can I do this?

See subject line.

You can share your calendar with your other ID as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a9479. Or, you can add your iPad iCloud account to your phone as a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, signing in with your iPhone's iCloud ID, then enabling Calendar syncing.

I would like to purchase Lightroom 5 as a standalone product (in Slovenia). How can I do that?

I have been trying to buy this product after using the test version for 30 days. However, the only options I can find are Upgrade (but I do not have a previous version installed) or Cloud.

Click the arrow to reveal Upgrade and Full and choose Full:
Purchasing LR Upgrade wouldn't stop you from also purchasing another LR Full, though you will have to figure how to get a refund from Adobe for the Upgrade version. I'd guess you can do that via a Chat Adobe Support option that should also be available on the Adobe support area in a similar place to where you got a link to these forums. We're all just users here so cannot actually help with the details of a refund if you purchased the Upgrade option by mistake.

I would like to select the location of my "My Digital Editions" folder. How can I do so?

The options / preferences for Adobe DIgital Eds seems quite limited. In particular, users should be able to choose the location where digital items are stored. The default arrangements throw off my document syncing. I do not want the My Digital Editions folder in My Documents. Is there currently a way to choose the location of the My Digital Editions folder? Will there be in the future? After all, it is my computer.
Thanks, Michael

Moving this discussion to the Adobe Digital Editions forum.
Michael I am sorry but Adobe Digital Editions does not support a custom location for the My Digital Editions folder at this time.
