Just bought a mac and trying to connect to printer? help!

Hi i just bought a macbook pro, and i am trying to connect my macbook to a printer
it is a Brother DCP-135C printer
im lost as to what to do, i have tried everything :/
thanks

If you connect the printer via USB and got it to print anything, you know it is basically working.
If you want to print via WiFi, you need to tell the printer what IP Address to use, and what the WiFi password is so that it can talk on your Network.
On some printers, you can configure this over the USB connection in advance. On others, you have to use your fingers on its Control Panel (on the front of the Printer chassis).
If you have a WiFi Network that uses 10.11.12.1 as the Router address, a good place to assign for the Printer is above the addresses normally given to computers, but below .254. .200 is usually a good choice if you have not already assigned it. For a 192.168.0.1 Network, 192.168.0.200 is usually available.
Then you have to tell it the network password, so that it can talk on the Network.
Then you should launch Network Utility and try to send it two or more Ping's and see that it answers.
You may find this article helpful:
OS X: Connecting a Wi-Fi printer to your Wi-Fi network
Once it answers, Use Add-a-Printer, but do not use the default Browser. Use IP Browser, and specify its IP address. You also need to know whether it will use Internet Printing Protocol, LinePrinterDaemon (LPD), or hp JetDirect Socket (which is used by more than just hp printers). This information should be in your manual.
If it sees the Printer at the Address you specified, it will make sure the correct Driver is in place for you.

I just bought a MAC and am trying to figure out the correct version

I just bought a MAC and am trying to figure out the correct version of LR4 to install on the Mac. Someone in support (LR) gave the link for the downloads, and I chose the LR4.4 (but, it said LR5---kind of confusing). I don't have a DVD drive, so I am not sure if this one will work. I have the LR icon that says Light Room 4.4 on the screen, but LR does not open when I click it.....????? How do I open this? Thanks!!!

I called my ISP to set it to Bridge mode and they said that they couldn't do that (Linksys help desk gave me instructions on the switch to Bridge mode). However, they then tried to upsell me their own wireless router for $79.99......
Can I make this change myself or do they need to do it from their end?
Thanks!

I just bought a Mac and would like to synch my ipods, ipads, iphones, etc.- They were synched to our old PC-how do we do this

As with all other important data that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as documents, photos, etc., you need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer as well. Transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link.

I have just bought a mac and also have windows installed but how do i change from windows into mac?

I have just bought a mac and need to know how to change from using windows into Mac. When the mac starts up windows come up but i want to use Mac?

To set the default boot volume use the Startup Manager system preferences once you are booted back into the OSX. Then you would only need the option key at boot time to boot into the "other" OS.

I just bought a macbook and tried to add it to my home share but got a message that there were too many devices. How do I deauthorize machine I nolonger have?

I just bought anothe macbook and tried to add it to my home share but got a message about too many devises. How do I deauthorize machine I no longer have as I am sure some of those I threw out had itunes?

You'll have to log in to your iTunes account. On the Account Information page click on the 'Deauthorize All' button. You will have to re-authorize all the computers you presently want to associate with the iTunes account. (See screen shot below.)
In the future, to avoid having to deauthorize all and then re-authorize, select 'Deauthorize This Computer…' from the 'Store' menu on the computer you no longer want to use with the iTunes account.

Just bought Ipad mini and trying to transfer DragonVale from Ipod. How do I do this?

Redownload it from the iTunes Store or sync it from an iTunes library which contains it. If you want to transfer its data as well, back up the iPod and then restore the backup to the iPad mini.

Just bought a macbook and can't connect to the internet. very frustrating

i can't connect through my wireless router. it reads it but can't connect. my brothers hp laptop connects to it and works. i brought it to work and tried to connect to the router at work but it failed again. but my bro's hp just reads it right away. i need some help please.

Hi,
The same happened to me, but here's a fix.
If it is password encrypted, when you first turn on your macbook, and they give you the internet connection list, Click on advance, and select "This computer does not connect to the internet" Then everything will finish installing.
Now when you see the wireless symbol on top of your screen (right next to the blue tooth) select Airport ON if it isn't enabled. Then connect to your wireless router, and when it asks for the password, click on the internet password type, and select the "Wireless WEP 12/48 key...or something like that" and it should connect. That is what I did to my macbook and it worked

On my Iphone 4, I can not get any response accept the apple logo after recharging for an entire day and trying to connect to iTunes. help?

On my Iphone 4s, I can not get any response accept the apple logo after recharging for an entire day and trying to connect to iTunes. A few days before that the speaker suddenly stopped working during a call. I also reset everything by connecting to itunes but no luck then. help?

Hey there xntricj,
It sounds like you are putting a password for your Apple ID that works without issue on your iPad into your iPhone but get a message saying that the password is incorrect. I recommend the steps from the article named:
iCloud: "Incorrect Apple ID or Password" alert when setting up iCloud after upgrading to iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5207
After completing iOS 7 setup, go to Settings > iCloud.
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then enter your previous Apple ID and password.
If your Apple ID or password are not accepted, follow the steps in iOS 7: If you're asked for your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

I own a PC version of Photoshop CS6. Just bought a Mac and want to use it... what can I do

I am now a mac user but still have my registered PC version of Photoshop CS6. Can I pay to change it over and how do I do this ? I am willing to spend the $10 per month too. I was able to install my lightroom on the mac with the registration number but not ohotoshop

Lightroom serial numbers are multi-platform: they work on both Mac and Windows.
Photoshop serial numbers are platform specific: Mac only or Windows only.
Obtain a Mac serial number using this process (available for CS6 only, not earlier versions)
Order product | Platform, language swap
Then obtain the CS6 Mac installer from Download CS6 products
Install then enter your new Mac serial number when prompted.

Just bought a Mac and need to change PC version to Mac version

I recently made the move from PC to Mac. I have a PC version of CS4 and need to get a Mac version. Will Adobe do a switch? What do I need to do?

It's actually easy and you will love it
Any two computers: Mac and/or PC
Any language, Photoshop 27 in all. Lightroom 12 languages. No extra charge.

I just bought a mac and have never used one. I need help.

i have no idea what i am doing. I have always used a pc. now i have a mac mini.

Stedman1 has posted a great link. I strongly recommend against the Mac for Dummies. At some point the Dummy books began to believe they were for dummies rather than for newbies. The Missing Manual series is very good. If you were a comfortable Windows users the book I recommend is Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Mavericks Edition because it will build on what you already know and understand. Otherwise just get the OS X Mavericks: The Missing Manual version.

Just bought refurbished mac, and there's no GarageBand or iMovie and such. I got no disks with the laptop!! Is there any way to get these programs back?

is there any way to get the programs back??!!??
if not, are there any good free programs to replace these ones?

I called Apple Customer Support (1- (800) 767-2775) to check on how much they charge for the gray restore disks that originally came with the MacBook and was quoted $16 dollars per disk plus S & H. Which would be $32 for the two disks. Just give them the serial number of your MacBook and they'll know which ones you need. With the original disks you also get the iLife that was current when your MacBook was bought included on the #2 disk.
If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store if you're upgraded to 10.6.8. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each
Or you can get an iLife DVD on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trkparms=72%253A1234%257C66%253A2%257C65%253A12% 257C39%253A1&_sacat=0&_sc=1&_nkw=apple%20ilife%2011&_sop=12
