IMac is not bringing up websites/not air printing

I'll start by saying I've turned everything off and on and restarted the router, printer, computer etc... Still having issues. With that being said here's what's going on:
I have a 2009 iMac and I cannot connect to my wireless printer anymore and cannot connect to the internet.  I have never had any issues before and all my other devices (this iPad I'm currently using and my phone) connect no problem to my wireless printer and the internet. The wifi bars on my iMac are at a full connection, but every time I click on safari the website starts to load, but then the blue part only goes only a 1/4 of the way and the screen turns white, then just sits there - forever. I also try to print and in the end it says connection error and won't.
I have no idea what to do! It's got to be my iMac that's the issue, but I don't know the next step. I also ran a connect check on my iMac and it said my internet is working fine... Help!!
Thanks in advance for any tips or ideas!!

  • Just reinstalled software and migrated data from Time Machine, now iMac does not recognize printer or camera

    Under the direction of Apple Support, I recently erased my iMac (Intel) hard drive, reinstalled and updated software and migrated data from an external hard drive via Time Machine.
    Now, after clicking on "PRINT", the print dialog box says "printing" then says "no pages found", and finally says "stopped"; and when I plug in my camera to download photos, the camera is not recognized.  Both printer and camera are connected via USB.
    I checked connections, verified printing and iPhoto preferences, turned printer off then on again, unplugged and replugged USB connections, and checked and followed directions in the Help menu.

    Thanks very much, I'd just tried rkaufmann87's suggestion and entered "This solved my question" when your suggestion popped up—you deserve a "This solved my question" too, though I saw only an option for "This helped me".
    Before I got rkaufmann87's suggestion, I repaired disk permissions and that resolved the camera problem.  Both of you nailed the solution.
    Thanks again!

  • I pad 2 will not air print, i pad 2 will not air print

    cannot print from i pad got the right print

    Is your printer an AirPrint-enabled one ? Those that are are listed on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356 - the page also has a small section at the bottom of it for 'No AirPrint Printers Found'

  • Air Print NO! Epson iPrint YES!

    I don't understand... Apple make air print but it fails to find my air printer. But I download Epson iPrint app and I can print fine.
    Air print will find my printer sometimes, Epson iPrint finds it every time so something's not right with air print.
    If it was my network I couldn't print anything and technically Epson must use part of the air print or my wifi network, as both are coming from my wifi only iPad.
    So I'm miffed!
    I will say, Air print if it worked would be the easier choice to print with.

    2 iPads 2 iPhones 1 iTouch?
    Firmware / ios upto date on all.
    Epson works so it must be AirPrint, and like I say Epson must use air print or it won't print - like my other printer will not work with air print or the Epson apps as it's only wifi not air print / wifi.
    Oh prints ok from my iMac

  • Air printer

    My printer will not air print. I can still scan and print. I did change inks a week ago but it works perfectly for direct print. I have tried it near or far. Help please!

    Hi,
    Your printer is not airprint enabled. The airprint function is built into the apple devices but will not work with your printer.
    You could try downloading the HP eprint app to see if that might work.

  • IMac does not see my external HD...but my MacBook Air does

    I have a Toshiba 1TB HD that I partitioned into iMac and PC.  I run my backup on it with no problems.  Then I got a Time Capsule and set it up.  Now my iMac does not see my HD any more. But my Mac Book Air picks it up. You can see the 2 partitions on the MBA.  I also cant see it in my Disk Utilities and "Mount" is not clickable. I tried to use different USB ports as well as different USB cables.

    What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device...
    If the issue persists, try these steps:
       1. Shut down the computer.
       2. Disconnect all devices and all other cables, except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
       3. Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
       4. Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
       5. Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.

  • IMac will not recognize scan function of all in one printer

    My 24" iMac will print on the HP Photosmart 3210xi All in One, but will not scan.
    Twice, (to ensure I didn't miss anything) I have run the manual un-install procedures prescribed from HP, and installed the appropriate driver for Mac with no success.
    When I try to scan, the scanner wants to begin, but the computer displays the message, "Sorry, scanner could not be initialized. (Scanner not found.)" We have the correct driver (Not the Print only option).
    This printer still works "full-up" on the clunker PC, so it's not a hardware issue with the printer.
    Any others with similar all-in-one issues? Solutions?

    I had the same problem with my HP Photosmart 2610xi All In One Printer. I went to the HP website and downloaded the full feature software/drivers and now it works great. Below is the software that you should download for your printer...hope it works for you!

  • I bought a new imac running Loin and Office 2011. The server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software.

    I bought a new imac running Loin with Office 2011. I am the only mac in the office and the Server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software other than webmail access through our website. It looks as though 2011 is not compatible with 2003 per some searches online, but what are some options I have to gain full access again? I purchased parallels in hopes that this my help and I am able to use remote desktop connection to log on to server but can not drag and drop files I need. There is a shared drive on that Server we all use to exchange files.
    The two main issues are gaining access to my email again and ability to drag and drop files from mac to pc. I hope this is enough info to get some solutions.
    PS - IT person says my iMac's IP is what his server does not understand so that is why I can not login.

    Office 2011 is not compatbile with Exchange 2003.
    I suggest you post further Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:

  • IMac will not boot up when printer is plugged in USB

    After buying my new iMac (with Tiger) I successfully transfered everything from my old iMac (with Panther) and all was well.
    The problem is that when my printer (Canon Pixma MP130) is plugged in on start up, the iMac will not boot up (no gears turning on the white/grey screen). When I unplug the printer from the USB and start it up, it works fine. Its not a super big deal because I can just plug the printer in when I need it. But why does it do this?
    I foound on the internet someone else who had the same issues. It was suggested to him to search the printer manufacturers website for updated drivers. I did this, installed them etc..... still no luck.

    Hello there,
    I hope it is OK to recycle this old thread.  I did not want to create a new one since I am experiencing the exact same issue as the original poster *flying girl* as well as other posters in the following threads:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4190807
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3950255
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4201169

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4470944
    I have two Macs, a PowerBook G4 and an Intel iMac 20" (Aluminum)--please refer to my signature or profile for the specs of these machines.  Of course, I got the PowerBook before I got the iMac.  I am running the latest version of the Canon MP130 drivers, printer drivers version 4.8.3 and scanner drivers version 12.11.0, on both machines.
    When I turn on my PowerBook with the Canon PIXMA MP130 multifunction turned ON and connected via USB to the PowerBook, the PowerBook boots up just fine.  I have even experimented with both a USB hub and a direct connection to the Canon MP130, and the PowerBook boots fine in both instances.
    However, when I turn on my iMac with the Canon MP130 turned ON and connected via USB to the iMac, the startup tone plays, and then the iMac hangs at the blue/gray solid screen--it does not even show the Apple logo or the spokes--that is, until I turn the Canon MP130 OFF.  When I turn it off, the Apple logo appears, the spokes move, and my iMac boots up just fine.  And as long as the MP130 is OFF, I can boot the iMac fine from scratch too.
    I tried starting in verbose mode (⌘V) and single-user mode (⌘S), and the gray/blue screen still appears after the startup tone plays; again, if I turn the Canon MP130 OFF, the rest of the boot sequence resumes as normal, and only then do I get to see the descriptive text for those startup modes.  But the text goes by so fast that I miss most of it--I did manage to catch something that said something like "get full config descriptor = NULL," but I am not sure if that was the exact wording.  I would need a good camcorder or even just a digital camera or another device to capture exactly what the screen says in verbose mode.  If I had those options, I would post pictures here.
    I was thinking about contacting Canon, but since the issue happens on one Mac only, I figured they would tell me that it is a problem with my Mac.  So hopefully posting the information here is OK.
    Another key feature is that the Canon MP130 has a built-in card reader.  I made sure that my Startup Disk preferences were set to boot from the system drive, and they still are.  And I have reset the SMC and PRAM on the iMac.
    I would like to mention the following link:
    http://www.ehmac.ca/anything-mac/50389-intel-imac-wont-boot-when-canon-printer-p lugged.html
    If you go to page 2 on that above thread, it shows one user who allegedly physically disconnected the card reader connection from the inside of the Canon MP130 (I would NOT recommend that myself).  I just wonder if there is a more feasible resolution to this issue.
    Does anyone else experience the same issue with other printers or multifunctions?  Also, why does the issue occur only on my Intel iMac 20" (aluminum), and NOT on my PowerBook G4?
    Please let us know about your experience as it seems many of us are at a loss for a solution.
    Thank you very much for your help; we await!  :)
    Cya!

  • Images with straight lines are distorting (round) on PSCC on iMAC but not on MacBook or second iMAC?

    Images are distoring (rounding) on Photoshop CC on my iMAC but same NEF file on MacBook Air or our second IMac do not show distortion.    On preview, the image appears normal.    Is there a way to repair PS CC or does it need to be reloaded?   How can it be repaired or reloaded.  
    Hard to find the right technical expert - chat isn't working
    Thanks.

    You have some lens correction enabled or a graphics hardware acceleration issue. nothing that a reinstall would fix. Since you haven't provided any relevant exact technical info, nobody can say more.

  • My iMac does not start.

    My iMac does not start. When I turn it on, it stays loading in the half and doesn't continue. Some days before I had updated my iMac to Yosemite 10.10. Everything was ok but yesterday I decided tu reboot it and when it was turning on this happened, it kept stuck at the middle of the bar. I have the latest model of MacBook Air '13.

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
    b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
    c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
    Step 3
    Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 4
    If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
    Step 5
    If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
    Step 6
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    Step 7
    If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
    If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 8
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
    Step 9
    If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.  
    Step 10
    Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 11
    Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 12
    This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 13
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • Imac will not start up... wheels keep spinnin then shut off..

    My imac does not start up. I tried resetting the PRAM, PNUM, all of that stuff and to no avail. What happens is the grey apple screen comes on, the wheels start spinning, then it just shuts off. I got the tiger disk in there and I press control/command s and it brings me to a blue screen that show my HD and the start up disk. I cannot select the start up disk for the life me. My mouse won't move over, nothing. When my mac was working, I couildnt delete some files that were in my trash and I went to my terminal and enter the command to start in safe mode, because I was having a problem manually starting in safe mode. But the problem is I think I have/got some sort of virus that is attacking my safe mode, because safe mode never ever kicked on. So now my computer is simply gone...HELP>>>>>>>
    Doobs

    First off, you have the keystrokes wrong.
    Command-S will startup in single user mode, and can be used to repair the directory if the machine has enough free hard disk space. See my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
    Shift key will startup safe mode so you can startup without any drivers running.
    Control-Command-S will do nothing.
    Option can be used to startup the optical disc with the startup manager:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106178
    There are no Mac OS X viruses out there. Is your data backed up?
    Have you checked your free space*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/diskfull.html
    And has the clock battery been replaced in the last 4 years?
    PNUM is not an acronym dealing with Macs, though PRAM is.
