Losing connection with wireless hp photosmart printer: tried everything
Hi there,
I'm a new Dutch guy here, so sorry if I appear newbie-ish and if my English is imperfect...
I've recently bought an iMac (finally!) and a wireless HP Photosmart B210a printer. I'm having trouble with my printer, which is connected wirelessly through a TP-Link WR1043N router.
After I installed the printer, I was able to print and even scan wirelessly. But after a while, I somehow can no longer print or scan. This problem persists even after re-installing the printer.
This is what I did trying to solve the issue:
1 uninstall the printer using the hp uninstall utility, using the 'scrubbed method' (pressing <ctrl><option><command> when clicking Uninstall)
2 delete any item containing "hp" of "print" in its name in the preferences folder in the library
3 reset the printing system by pressing <ctrl> and clicking the printer list in system preferences
4 run software update from the apple menu
5 download the latest printer drivers from hp.com (PSAIO_08_B210_USW_Full_Mac_WW74.dmg) and install the printer
6 reserve an IP-address for the printer in the router settings
7 set the ip-address in the printer's wireless settings
8 download the latest printer drivers from the apple website via this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907 and install them (executing packet scripts takes a lot more time than indicated: 'less than a minute' appears to be an arguable period of time)
Unfortunately this doesn't do the trick for me
When I print a page, it works the first time but after that I simply can't print. The print job is stuck, while the print task list keeps searching for the printer indicates that it is off line.
I can access the printer's built-in web server by entering it's IP-address in my web browser (I can even scan using this web page!). When I run the wireless setup wizard on the printer, the stuck print job comes out eventually...
Any suggestions?
It did not work after all...
@CHH: This is wheere I downloaded the printer drivers:

Good luck and keep us all posted on how you're doing with this problem!

Losing connection to wireless network every week
I really don't understand why this keeps happening. I have a PC (Windows XP) connected to a cable modem. I also have a WRT54G wireless router connected to the modem, following instructions on the CD-ROM that came with the router.
Across the room, about 8 feet away, I have another PC (Windows XP) with a Compact Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with SpeedBooster model WUSB54GSC installed in one of the computer's USB ports. Again, I followed installation instructions on the supplied CD-ROM and things came together and I was able to connect to the internet through the wireless router.
A week later, the 2nd computer lost it's connection with the router, so I tried "repairing the connection" but that didn't work. I ended up uninstalling the software and starting over. This time it worked, but the connection was "connection 2."
Every week, usually on Sunday, I seem to lose my connection with the router and now I am up to "connection 6." Other people I have spoken with say they never loose their connections and the folks at Road Runner think it must be a problem with the router. Who knows? I wouldn't be surprised if I set it up incorrectly and have probably confused it with all the uninstalling and reinstalling I have done.
Any suggestions? When it does connect, it works fine. I just don't understand why it keeps losing it's connection every Sunday.
Thanks for any help/advice anyone can offer.Sounds like you are not connecting to the correct network. Let say you called your network ORLANDO. You should see ORLANDO in view your network connections. Also, if you would click on view workgroups computers, you should see all your computers listed. You will have to log on to your router and make sure everything is set up properly. XP default is MSHOME.
I have had my share of problems using WUSB54GC on my windows 98 se. No problems with XP sp 3 using identical adaptor. I am been at this for a couple of months. Usually unpluging adaptor and repluging it will solve the problem. No problems using XP. I have even switch adaptors on both computers.

IPod nano does not connect with wireless earphone via bluetooth transmitters.
My iPod nano(6th) can not connect with wireless earphone via bluetooth transmitter.
I want to know which is wrong iPod nano or bluetooth transmitter...Now I tried with i10s because I thought previous one (motolora) might be wrong.
But both can not connect.Sounds good. Hopefully they can provide you with an accurate answer.

I am experiencing network failures with my Airport Extremes: the main router is a 2nd Gen, the extension a 5th Gen.
The 5th Gen keeps on losing connection with the main router and thus with the internet.
Any ideas why?Is the second Extreme configured to "extend" the network created by the first? If so its position must be such that it has a strong wireless connection to the first Extreme. If it is at the limits of the first one's wireless range its connection will be tenuous. Place them closer together and determine if that makes a difference.

Every time I try to get on itunes store on my ipod it tells me that it "cannot connect to itunes store", I've tried everything even restored the ipod to factory settings and nothing, can some one please give a solution that will work?
Hi datnativeBUNNZ,
If your iPod can't connect to the iTunes store, check out this article for some additional troubleshooting steps:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to 3G, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections or iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Take care!

Impossible connecting with wireless network Netgear WNR 2000
I can not log on to my wireless network (Netgear WNR 2000) with my macbook. My other PC:s work fine and connect always. My Macbook only connect after I have restarted the router. When I use my Macbook in other places I can connect with wireless network. What is the problem?
I'm assuming that you're using the right network password! After that, the most common causes of difficulty are:
- The router not set up for DHCP and so cannot allocate an IP address to the MacBook
- The router has "MAC" Address Authentication (a security feature - don't mistake MAC for Mac[intosh]) turned on and the AirPort MAC address isn't in the pass list.
- The default "Automatic" location in System Preferences > Networks has been modified so that it no longer works.

Ipad3 vs wifi? Everytime i lock the screen i am losing connection with my wifi
Ipad3 vs wifi? Everytime i lock the screen i am losing connection with my wifi. It has not happened before
Try restarting or rebooting your iPad. See if that helps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
A couple of days ago I kept losing connectivity with the internet.By resetting either my modem or Airport Extreme I could regain it for 10-30 min. when I would have to repeat the resetting.Since,with Apple & Apple store support & many hours of contact with them the problem keeps recurring
Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions. -
Iphone 3 and 4 can't connect with wireless through air port
We purchased a new Time Capsule yesterday to replace one that stopped working. We have been able to get the Air Port/network working for our Mac Books and iPads, but cannot access the wireless network on our iPhones (a 3 and a 4). The wireless connection function on the phones show the network and shows a check mark next to the network, but does not switch to the wireless network from 3G. We tried to 'forget the network' and sign in again, making sure we are on the WPA2. Any other suggestions? Tami
I had this happen to me yesterday. I have a AirPort Extreme and my iPhone was unable to connect to the wireless network.
I tried everything from resetting the network settings on my iPhone, Hardbooting the iPhone, and even changing the wireless password on my Wireless network and restarting the AirPort Extreme. Nothing worked.
However here is my solution:
Hardware restart. I just unplugged the AE waited about 20 seconds and plugged it back in. When it came back up ...My iPhone was able to connect to the network. -

I can't start AE. Ae always shuts down. There is a Problem with the "AEDynamiclinkServer". I tried everything. But it doesn't work. How do I get AE back to work?
What "everything" have you tried?
What exact version number (down to the last decimal) is your AE?
What OS are you using?
What are your other system specs?
When did it work last? What happened between then and now?
