IPad not connecting to AirPrint

I've been searching for weeks for a solution that will allow us to use iPad or iPod Touch to print at home.  MacBook Air (mid-2012) connected to Canon MX870 printer via WiFi.  I've tried Lantronix's xPrintServer and Printopia.  The Lantronix device can see the printer and I can print to it from my Mac or a Windows session under Parallels.  But no WiFi connection seems to be possible - not from either of two iPads (one iOS 5, the other iOS 6) nor from my wife's Windows machine using BonJour.
Ditto Printopia.  Printopia sets up fine and acknowledges the printer.  BonJour in Windows under Parallels sees all three Printopia devices (Canon, Send to Dropbox, send to Mac).  BonJour in Windows on a WiFi-only machine sees nothing.  It's gotta be something with my WiFi setup, but I'm darned if I know what.  I've ordered a second WiFi router that I'm going to set up as a switch.  Perhaps the WiFi on that will work with AirPrint, but I'm not holding my breath.  BTW, my current modem / router is a NetGear CBVG834G provided by my ISP.  Any hints about things to try would be greatly appreciated.

I have had this problem before.  It happened when the IOS updated.  For my AirPrinter (HP Photosmart 6510) I need two free apps.  Reset the printer and reconnect it to the router.  Clean the print queue.  This will take time but it should work.
Oh, the software is not PC compatible.  The software will give the PC viruses.  The printer might work with an IMac, but you should hard wire the printer to the computer.
I hope this helps.

    ipad not connected to computer. erreo number (0xE8000084)

    Hello Mohamed Abdo,
    It sounds like you are unable to connect your iPad to the computer because you get this error code when you try. I would use the troubleshooting for these types of errors from the following article:
    iOS: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221
    Start with these steps, and there are additional steps in the article if you need them:
    1. Restart your computer.
    2. Install the latest version of iTunes.
    3. Verify that your computer meets the minimum system requirements. iOS devices require the following minimum version of Windows:
    Windows XP Service Pack 3
    Windows Vista
    Windows 7
    Windows 8
    4. Download and install any available software updates from Microsoft.
    5. Connect the device directly to your computer; not to an external USB hub. Find out if your computer has USB 2.0 ports.
    6. Check that the Dock Connector or Lightning Connector on both the device and cable are clean of any lint or other debris. If possible, connect your device using a different Apple 30-pin to USB cable or Apple Lightning Connector to USB cable.
    7. Disconnect other USB peripherals from your computer, with the exception of your keyboard and mouse. After disconnecting these peripherals, restart your computer, connect your device, and open iTunes.
    8. Connect your device to a different USB port on your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Ipad not connecting in itunes

    Ipad not connecting to itunes, but is recognised thru Win Explorer while connect to computer? Any advice to resolve?

    Thanks for response. I have uninstalled itunes and re-downloaded (13/5/2011). I did have the latest version previously.
    New itunes loaded. I tried connecting ipad once itunes is open, but still itunes is not recognising IPAD. Ipad is connected to computer - visible still through Win Explorer.
    It is noted once IPAD is connected "Autoplay" via Windows 7 opens up. Itunes is not listed as a default to open files.
    I have tried all ports on computer, and new cables  - no luck. I welcome some further feedback. The itunes connecting to iPAD about 10 days ago when I last connected.

  • HT201263 forgot passcode on ipad and i cannot restore  because it says ipad not connected to net

    forgot passcode on ipad and i cannot restore  because it says ipad not connected to net

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
      1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
      2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
      3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore, then restore as New.
    If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

  • IPad not connecting to iTunes

  • TS3274 NEW ipad "Not connected to Internet" ?  How do I resolve

    New ipad was connected , I think correctly but now when ipad is on it states internet  not connected  How do I eithe connect to wifi - or be able to contact support without connection?  AND some apps ie. Reminder and calendar appear to be in French all others in English

    I do not understand about having to pay for internet. The iPod has no native internet. To connect to the internet it needs a wifi hotspot/router. Are you trying to connect to a wifi hotspot that chargers money and requires a credit card? If so then you need to talk to the providers. If that is not it then provide more information.

  • Contacts on iPhone and iPad not connecting to iCloud

    Just set up iCloud today to sync Contacts between MacBook, iPhone, and iPad.  Initial setup worked ok.  Now, MacBooks is working OK, but iPhone and iPad cannot connect to server.  Open Contacts app and icon on status bar at top of screen just spins (for hours).  Have tried to disable Contacts sync on iPhone, but but same behavior.  Have tried to delete iCloud account on iPad...same.  Have rebooted both devices...same.  Any suggestions?

    iCloud won't sync Gmail contacts, it will only sync iCloud contacts.  If he wants to use Gmail for contacts, he should add his Gmail account to his Mac too.  If all of the contacts on his phone are not appearing on his Mac after doing this, then some of them must not belong to the Gmail account and would need to be added to his Gmail contacts.
    If he wants to use iCloud to sync his Gmail contacts instead, he can copy all of his contacts to iCloud as follows:
    Go to Settings>iCloud on the phone, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from Gmail and any other non-iCloud accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap Gmail and any other non-iCloud accounts and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your device).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.

  • Ipad not connecting to the server

    Why does my ipad now tell me it cannot find the server?

    We're you getting a message in Safari saying that it could not connect to the server?
    If you are talking about your home WiFi network and you can't get online, try rebooting your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
    You can also try Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Setrings and start over again with your network.

  • Ipad not connecting to the internet

    ipad is not connecting to wifi

    Can you give us a few more details please.
    What are you  doing? What have you tried?
    First troubleshooting steps is to reboot your router....unplug it, count to ten, plug it back in and let it reboot.
    Also reboot your ipad. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if that helps.
    beyond that, with a few more details maybe we can offer some more detailed suggestions

  • New iPad not connecting to wifi

    Just brought a new iPad and done the usual setup as I have had iPhones for the last 4 years and I am constantly getting wifi issues such as it not accepting passwords to my home wifi which is setup fine as I have my iPhone 4 connected to it and it works flawlessly now this iPad is a total different case.
    I have tried forgetting the network
    Reset network setting
    Restart iPad
    Changed router password
    Changer router frequency etc
    Change Router name
    The only time I can connect to my wifi network is when I am sitting on top of it with my iPad which defeats the object of of WIRELESS.
    This is meant to be the latest thing from apple it is a joke
    This needs resolving or it will be getting returned

  • IPad & iPad not connecting to iMac 21.5 Mavericks via USB!

    My iPad 2 and iPhone 5 are not connecting properly to my new iMac.  They have connected with USB cable without issue over the last couple of days, but today, as soon as they connect to the cable they both just flash on/off/on/off/on/off.  It is like the cable is dodgy or not pushed incorrectly!  However, I have tried several cables with both devices with no joy, and strangely my wife's iPhone 4S connects and stays connected without problem!
