Is my new Win 7 pc still using a wireless signal dispite now being connected via a USB?
I have a very fundamental question that has me perplexed regarding my MX870 multi printer, scanner, fax device.
I used it with my Win XP pc via a USB connection and it functioned flawlessly. I later purchased a Win 7 laptop and made a wireless hookup from a Netgear router to the laptop. That worked well also.
I recently purchased and installed a Win 7 Pro desktop to replace the Win XP pc and to my surprise it made an automatic wireless connection to the MX870 printer - not sure how or why this happened but all features seemed to somehow work without any input on my part?
Yesterday I disconnected old Win XP pc from the printer and located the new Win 7 desktop in its place. Since the driver and the software for the new Win 7 pc was obviously using the driver and software initially installed for the Win XP machine, I downloaded and installed the latest driver and software for the new Win 7 64 bit pc, and made a USB connection from Win 7 pc to the printer following the installation directions,
My questions are these:
1. How do I determine if I am indeed using the USB pc to printer connection and not somehow still using the wireless hook up? Can someone advised me on a way to make this detemination?
2. Could there be an issue if the printer is getting conflicting signals from the wireless and the USB? I wonder if that is still a possibility since the Win 7 laptop mentioned earlier is located in another room and continues to use the printer wirelessly.
I can no longer print color photographs using the new Win 7 USB connected pc to printer and suspect that the printer may be getting confusing signal inputs? If this is a possiblility is there a way to prevent wireless signals to the new Win 7 pc?
I am a novice with all of this and would very much appreciate any input and assistace.

To be brief, if I let my A/P Extreme set the channel automatically, it goes to 11. Then I get severe dropouts. This is in 802.11b/g compatibility mode. When I set the channel manually to channel 1, all is well, strong signals everywhere. I can't figure out why, but it works. So my suggestion is, *try some different channels* manually!!

Be aware, you go that route & every time you try to update or restore, it will error out, leaving your phone unusable. Not to mention, you void all warranty/support.
Sell it & use the proceeds towards an officially unlocked iPhone bought directly from Apple.
Good luck. -
I used to have a apple id but when i got my macbook i changed it. Then i downloaded OS X and updates in my app store will not let me change my apple id back to my new one it just still uses my old one. What do i do?
Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple Id to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID. -
If I buy a new iphone, can I still use the old one like an ipod with my iMac and download music, videos and apps?
Absolutely, Yes. I'm sure that many iPhones are "recycled" that way within a family.
The worst that will happen is that once in a while it will remind you to activate it as a phone. Just ignore the notifications. -

If I purchase a new IPAD can I still use my AT&T service?
If I purchase a new Ipad can i still use my existing AT&T service or do I have to sign up for a new service?
Ask AT&T. We are users like you. We don't know anything about your current plan, whether or not it supports iPads, whether or not it is transferable, if it will work with an iPad, etc.
iPad plans are different than iPhone plans. -
I just got a new iMac and want to use it for iTunes. when i connect my iPhone how do i transfer everything in my iPhone to this new computer?
If you do not have access to your old PC/Laptop and therefore cannot transfer your iTunes library, this document is very useful https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Just got a new MacMini. Migrated files using Time Machine. However, now, on Launchpad, I see several Firmware updates that were relevant for the old machine, but not for the new one. How do I get rid of these updates? They won't delete!
Only thing I can think of is trying this Lion trick...

I have just installed logic pro Version 9.1.1 to my new mac book , purchased in 2012 December. I am now being told my version of logic is not compatible with my version of OS X. Help!!! What can I do. I tried upgrding the logic pro software but this didn't help. It still won't open.
Many thanksHow did you install Logic onto your new Mac Book?
From the App store or from the DVD boxed set?
If it was downloaded from the App store then it should already be v9.1.8... and if it isn't you need to call Apple to help you sort this out.
If it was originally from the DVD boxed set then you must update using software updates....
If software updates cannot find Logic to update it then you either have...
Renamed the Logic Pro app in which case rename it back to Logic Pro
or
The Logic Pro App is not in the applications folder which is where it needs to be to be updated... so move it back there. -
Hello I recently downloaded an app on my iphone 4s - Remote mouse- so i can control my laptop that is connected to my tv, it used to work fine and now the connection fails, I downloaded another app and the same problem occurs, its not the firewall and both phone and laptop are conected to the same wifi, i also tried to connect it manually with the ip address and still no connection, can you help??
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.(No data loss) Try it again. -
I have a new Panasonic TV with wireless capabilities. When I connect via my AirPort Extreme and access Netflix the connection is lost after about 5 minutes. I have moved the AirPort, shut down all other computers that use AirPort for wireless connection. How to rectify?

I have lost my iPhone on August 27, 2013 at 6:15 a.m. when I posizioned it on the strip for the scanner objet of Linate Airport.
After about 10 minutes when I was already on the plane my friend tried to call my number but the phone was already off.
By searching with the "Find my iPhone" system, the device is OFFLINE and does not appear on the map.
I have already written to the lost property office of the Linate Airport but at the moment they do noto have yet responded.
I have already forwarded the complaint to the police.
How can I find out it if my iPhone 5 is offline?
Thanks in advance for the answer.

Better to use a printer's WiFi or connect via TimeCapsule USB Printer.
Just a generic question....Is it better/easier/faster to use a printer's built in WiFi versus connecting it via a USB connection to my Time Capsule.
I'm installing an all in one, Epson 810. MBP, 10.5.8, Time Capsule. Would like to use all the functionality of the Epson (scan, fax, copy, print). Previously was printing on an older Epson using the TimeCapsule via USB connection which worked well.
Just looking to not get into a mess setting stuff up.
Thanks
FabianThere may be no advantage to using the TimeCapsule and USB. The limitation on the speed will be your connection to the TimeCapsule, and that is at WiFi speed. It depends on what the connection speed on the printer is.
You might be able to connect the printer to the TimeCapsule via Ethernet. That should give you all the functions, and if the WiFi speed of the printer is G, rather than N, the connection will be limited by your N speed connection to the TimeCapsule.
