Just updated both my iMac and my laptop to 10.8.4. Now they can't find my HP laserjet printer. Other machine with 10.8.3 can. ???

Downloaded the latest HP driver but it didn't make a difference. Anybody else with this problem?

How is it connected?

  • Can I run time capsule on both my imac and pc laptops?

    Can I run time capsule on both my Imac and pc laptops?

    Depends on what you mean by "run".  Both the Mac and PC could connect using either wireless or Ethernet.
    The iMac could backup automatically using Time Machine over wireless or Ethernet. 
    Genie TimeLine Pro might be able to backup the PC automatically, but you would need to check on this with the Genie folks to confirm.

  • I just updated Safari 7.1 and OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 now my Time Machine is not backing up and I don't know how to fix it.

    I get "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "Time Capsule". The backup disk could not be found. Make sure the backup disk is connected or select a different back up disk." Which Time Capsule do I choose and I'm afraid I'll delete what is on the Time Capsule?

    Ok.. this is very typical.
    I would
    1. Reset TM.. following A4 in the reference I gave you.
    2. Factory reset TC.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    3. Do the setup again from airport utility.
    This time do not use apple names.. which are potentially wrong btw.. !! Apple finally admitted to it.
    See OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
    Use TCgenx (replace x with the actual gen of the TC). As base station name.
    TCwifi as wireless name.
    Data as disk share name.
    Use only WPA2 Personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
    4. Redo the setup of TM pointing it to the newly configured TC. It will say it has to do a new backup.. ignore this.. it will discover the old one and continue.
    Post again if you have issues..
    And welcome to Mavericks.. where each update causes ever new and interesting functional and networking issues with Time Machine.

  • Just updated two 5s phones and two iPads to newest iOS. Now all the devices start ringing when one phone is called.

    I Recently updated two 5s phones and two iPads to ISO 8.2. Since then, when either phone is called, all 4 devices start ringing, even though the iPads are not even on a cell network. How do I uncouple these devices from ringing?

    On each device go to Settings > FaceTime and turn "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off. It is a feature of Continuity: Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support

  • Just updated both Illustrator CC and CC2014. Now every time I try to save work the program locks up.

    Only way out is Control/Alt/Delete and all work is lost. Using Win 7/64. HELP all work is stopped.
    The Adobe web site is an endless circle of no help and apparently they don't want to talk to anybody about problems or help.

    just letting you know nothing anyone suggested worked…
    I do REALLY appreciate you trying to help me and I hope you are having
    a glorious weekend!

  • Can my CC account be installed on both my iMac and my laptop so that I can run software on both?

    Hi all,
    I'm sure this is a simple answer, but I have not found any thing on it yet.
    Is it possible to have my account on both my computers to run my applications on both? I travel a lot so this is essential.
    Thanks

  • I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 4 to iOS 7 now they both drop all my contents all my notes go missing I keep having to turn it off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call and the scroll rarely works is there anything I can do?

    I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 now my phone constantly deletes all my contacts and takes days to download them from my iCloud again, constantly needs to be turned off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call, the scroll rarely works, is there anything I can do, the apple tech told me it was something I'd just have to get used to, my phone worked perfectly before the update.

    Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
    It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality.

  • I installed a recent update to my iMac and all my screens are very small now. How do I change so that I can read my screens.

    How do I increase the size of the fonts any everything else on the screen?
    Thank you, Bob Plunkett

    Gentlemen:
    This was not a well thought out question; poorly written and I apologize. I should have known that the answer was right there in the system preferences under "displays".  Sorry. Thank you for your Patience.

  • My iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, but when connected to my brand new ASUS Windows-8 laptop's USB 3.0 port the charging process just keeps "blinking" on both the iPod and the laptop and will not connect to Itunes...

    Hi, I HATE to ask for help with this, but I HAVE looked everywhere and Google searched different wordings and have not found anything similar nor a solution to my problem!                                                                                                                                                                                                                               My good old iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, in any house, but when I connect it to my brand new ASUS laptop that has Windows-8 and 3.0 USB ports using the charging/data cable, the charging process just keeps "blinking" BOTH the iPod and the laptop and it will not connect to ITunes and I get "A Device is Detected" message that keeps popping up and going away over and over right above the Windows desktop toolbar.                                                               When I go to control panel and select "Devices" it does show the iPod, but for only a split second and than it disappears, but than it comes back again for a split second and than it disappears again and just keeps doing that over and over and over!                                                                                                                  I have tried resetting the iPod while it is plugged into the laptop by holding the power and menu buttons, that did no good.                                                             I also tried uninstalling iTunes and any other Apple stuff listed and reinstalling it all, that did NOT work!                                                                                          The iPod, the laptop and iTunes ARE all fully updated!                                                                                                                                                                I AM using a brand new charging/data cable that I just opened up an hour ago (I've learned to keep a few brand new ones around at all times since these piece of garbage rip-off cables hardly last a week, even when you baby them!). I also tried a few old cables, they all do the same thing!                                                       I would like to get this piece of junk to connect to my new laptop, even if only once, so that I can change/delete some songs and transfer a few dozen photos,since I haven't been able to do any of that stuff since my old laptop (that NEVER had any problems connecting) died way back in May! lol.                                                                                                                                                                                                 I hope somebody knows a fix or solution! Thank You!

  • Ive just updated my ipod touch 4th gen, but the bat went flat now its just a white screen and when i plug it into my laptop nothing happenes

    Hello,
    This will fix your problem!
    To put the device in DFU mode,
    1. Connect the device to iTunes
    2. Hold both the power button and the home button down simultaneously
    3. After 10 seconds, release the power button but leave the home button pressed
    4. iTunes should then recognize that the device has entered DFU mode and ask to restore.
    That should get you back on your way.

  • I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail.  There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software.  I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. Help!

    I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail.  There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software.  I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. I don't have the original operating software disk.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Your reply suggests that you have moved Mail to a different location, which (as I said) will prevent it from being properly updated. You cannot use Mail 4.5 with any recent version of Mac OS X. Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) included Mail 5 and Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) includes Mail 6. I'm assuming that you have either Lion or Mountain Lion, but if that is incorrect, you will need to provide that information.
    At this point, you will need to reinstall your system. Hold down command-R at startup and reinstall the system right on top of the old one. This should not disturb any of your documents or applications, though you should have backups beforehand in case something goes wrong. And at this point, with your system in an uncertain state (I don't entirely know what you have done to it), something could go wrong.
    You will also want to delete the old copy of Mail 4.5, wherever that is. You can't use it.
    In the future, do not move any of the preinstalled applications. Leave them where they are.

  • Help, I just updated to iOS 8 and all my pages documents have disappeared! This is a disaster ! Can I get them from the cloud? If so how and can I do it without a PC or laptop?

    I Have just updated to iOS 8 and have lost all my Pages docs this is a huge disaster. Is there any way to get them back ? I hope that they are in the cloud but I have never used it to get anything back before. Can any one help. Is it possible to do this without a PC or laptop?

    You really need to try this on a computer, not on the iPad.
    Seeing how what is in the cloud is also on the iPad, if the content is not on the iPad, there is a good chance that the content is lost. But you can try logging into www.icloud.com in a web browser on a computer and log into your account and see if you can get into the Pages app. You may have to sign up for iCloud drive if you didn't do so already. Make SURE you that you read the blurb that will pop up in that window in iCloud for more information.

    I have the exact same problem, Grace Period is ignored when setting it in Profile Manager for an iPhone.
    I'll try to verify that this is also a problem with iPad's.
