AirPrint works from iMac but not iPhone

Latest iMac OS
Latest iOS
iMac setup easily and prints fine - wirelessly
iPhone cannot find printer. e.g. Safari, Select Printer - "No AirPrint Printers Found"
AirPort Utilty has no Printer section.
Any ideas?

I have already done all that.
It airprints from iMac and not from iOS. What does that tell us?

Internet works on guest but not main network

We have an airport extreme connected to a Dsl modem. The internet works fine when connected to the guest network but when connected to the main network the browser just times out and says server is not responding (for any website we try). Same thing on several computers (iMac, 2 different MacBook Pros).
The internet settings look the same for both guest and main network so I don't understand why one would work and not the other.
I tried getting rid of the guest network but the main network still failed to load webpages (even though it appears to be connected to internet).

Are you connecting the AirPort Extreme to a simple modem (it will only have one ethernet port), or is the device a gateway (combination modem/router with 3-4 ethernet ports)?

The computer connected to the network via WiFi can access it via AirPlay (and can play music to it via iTunes), but neither my iPhone 5S or iPad get the AirPlay icon. Does anyone have any ideas? I see people saying that AirPlay does not work over Ethernet, but the computer seems to do fine with it.
Is the iPhone and iPad connected to the same network? Many newer routers create seperate wired, wireless 2.4Ghz, and wireless 5Ghz networks in additon to guest networks.

Only clueless people would make such a silly statement.

Internet works on partition but not on my mac

Hello. My internet on my MacBook Air was working just fine, but suddenly it stopped being able to load any page stating the connection has timed out. It happens will safari, firefox and chrome. However, it works just fine in my Windows XP partition I have set up with VirtualBox. I'm not sure if relevant, but I recently updated from Lion to Maverick. Any recomendations?
Thanks!

Ah, after repeated restarts it seems to be working for the moment. Hopefully it is not a recurring incident.

Internet works in VM but not native OS

I am running an Ubuntu 9.04 virtual machine in VirtualBox on my Macbook pro. As I understand, VirtualBox tricks the guest OS to think there's an wired ethernet connection and redirects traffic through the hosts' connection. So I find it very strange that the internet works perfectly well inside my virtual machine, but it doesn't work in the host OS. Any ideas?

Definitely strange. But, many have internet connection problems no matter what their circumstances. There are no good solutions yet. You could try what is suggested in this thread, but ....: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1924527.

Retouch and red eye tricks work on iMac but not on Notebooks. Why?

I am thrilled to have access to the "hidden" red eye and retouch tools. (Control + Caps Lock + "9"; Followed by Tab)
However, I have noticed they only work on the standard Apple Keyboard, but not on the notebook (MacBook or MacBook Pro) keyboards. (An Apple Keyboard plugged into USB on a notebook will work.) Is there a way to achieve the same results for red eye and retouch using a notebook keyboard?

LiveWire293:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I hadn't tried that on my new MacBook Pro till you brought it up. I can't get it to work either. Tried all sorts of permuatations with the function key. I don't know enough about the key mapping to determine how the keys on the laptop differ to those on the regular keyboard. I'm sure someone will figure it out eventually. Thanks for the heads up.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

ICloud works on iMac but not on iphone

When ever I try to read all mail accounts I get the message iCloud password missing I enter the same password as apple ID but still no access. If i log on to iCloud on iMac all is ok. Ideas?

Can you explain more on what you mean you can not determine Server Settings on this computer ?
The iChat one in in iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Server Setting tab for the Screen Name concerned.
You ISP one will be listed in System Preferences > Network > Connection Method > Advanced button > TCP/IP tab depending on how the info is passed through any router and modem combo.
If you are trying to Log the Same Screen Name into AIM then both computers will need to be set to Allow Multiple Logins in the Account Info Tab in the iChat Accounts Preferences (Set it whilst Logged Out).

Airport Extreme working with iMac but not with Windows 7 Laptop!

My iMac (OSX 10.5.8) has been working fine with my Airport Extreme, but a new member of our household cannot connect wirelessly with their Windown 7 Laptop. The PC can see the wireless name for our household and says it is connected to it, but there is a problem actually connecting to the internet. Has anyone experienced similar problems? We are at a loss as to what to do. Applecare were no help (despite forking out for the advanced applecare warranty) and both Mac and PC service providers blame each other. Any advice would be much appreicated. Surely the Airport Extreme can talk simultaneously to PC and Mac wireless computers?

I have had the same issue. Airplay working with all devices apart from one windows 7 (the actual media server) and have spent over a week trying to resolve it.
This worked for me.
Turn off windows firewall and in my instance macafee. Be warned while macafee says that it's off there are services running all the time.
You will need to open macafee settings and turn off access protection first
Then search services from start bar
Open services and filter by manufacturer
Stoop all macafee services
Right click the start bar
Open task manager
Stop all macafee processes
Try your airport utility you should now see your express
If you can you will see your icon in iTunes
This pores that it's likely to be a macafee issues. Of course you do not want to leave the firewall off so I installed macafee and installed a fresh copy turning both the windows and macafee firewall on with no resultant issues
Hope this helps

Internet works on Win7, but not Lion

Okay, I've tried everything I can think of and I have no idea what to do next, as I've never really been a "networking" guy. I have a mid-2010, 15" MBP. I recently installed Win7 through Boot Camp, though this problem has existed since before that. Whenever I try to access the Internet while on the OSX partition, it is possible to usually load one or maybe two pages. After that, my connection comes to a virtual standstill and no other pages will load. If I am in Chrome, the browser keeps displaying "Sending request..." until it times out. It doesn't matter which brower I use though, all have the same problem. All the while, my Mac says that I have a solid connection. If I try to load something in more than one tab at once, then the connection stops almost immediately. Even if I have an ethernet cable connected and Wi-Fi disabled, the problem still persists.
Now for the strange part. If I switch over to the Win7 partition and try to access the Internet, it works fine. I can open as many things in as many tabs as I want and it'll still work great. I've never had any problems with it while running Windows, so I'm guessing that it's something goofy in the settings on the Mac side, but for the life of me I can't find out where. Here are some of the things that I've tried doing:
     - I've tried changing the DNS settings and possibly using some other services (i.e. OpenDNS, Google DNS, etc.) but it doesn't help. I don't think it's      necessarily a DNS problem at this point, as I've tried directly going to an address (http://74.125.224.82/ instead of google.com, for example) and I have the      same problem.
     - On a recommendation, I've tried deleting /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist to try and reset my network settings. Nothing.
     - I've deleted all wireless networks and tried re-entering the information for my Wi-Fi connection, but still get the same problem.
     - I've reset my cable modem (NetGear CG3000D) more time than I can count.
And like I said, since I'm not a networking guy I can't think of anything else to try and fix it off the top of my head. I've been getting ping times of ~35ms, which seems pretty reasonable. A small amount of packet loss (~14%) occurs every now and then, but for the most part it's solid.
So does anyone out there have any ideas what could be wrong? I can provide additional information if needed. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Are you connecting the AirPort Extreme to a simple modem (it will only have one ethernet port), or is the device a gateway (combination modem/router with 3-4 ethernet ports)?

Cisco Anytime Connect VPN working from iMac but not from MacBook Air with same settings and wifi network

Hi guys,
I'm having trouble connecting my new MacBook Air to Cisco Anytime Connect VPN.
The same configuration works with my iMac, in the same network and same Mac OS Mountain Lion on both computers.
After successfully connecting to VPN after a few seconds it gets disconnected and, what is worse, WIFI is not working any more in my macBook Air, I need to deactivate it and start again.
With iMac with the same settings it doesn't happen.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Did you power cycle the network? That's always the first thing you want to do if a device is "missing" or not connecting to your network correctly.
If you have not already tried this a few times, power down the entire network...all devices, order is not important.
Wait a few minutes and place the MBAir close to the TC
Start the modem first and let it run a few moments by itself. Then start the TC if it is the device connected to the modem and let it run a few moments. Then start each device one at a time the same way.
