Lost AirPrint to iPad, other machines on network still print?

I have three computers, including one iPad, on a network with my printer. All three have been working fine but now I am unable to print with the iPad. (the other two still work). The IPad seems to find the printer but there appears to be no communication between the two. I have reset the network, reset the iPad and reset the HP printer.

Could there be a job stuck in the Queue in the iPad AirPrint app? Can you see it in the multitasking dock? If so, check to see if there is a job pending, and cancel it.

If your printer is on this list follow the manufacturers instructions.

Sees other machines on Network, but no internet

Hi,
Suddenly my MacPro can't access the net but still can communicate on the network with my other Macs and PC.
Straight into the modem it won't get on the internet, the G5 and others will, with the same cable.
I reinstalled the 10.5.6 OS update, also boot from my Backup thinking it would be a software problem, but it does not work either.
Any ideas ?
Could it be a hardware problem, but then, how could the house network work ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

It sounds like there are a handful of issues here.
First off, are you really having problems with DNS, or DHCP?
If you're having problems with DNS, try setting your other machines up to use OpenDNS, as described here, except select the network interface you're actually using, rather than "Built In Ethernet", in step 2.
If you're having problems with DHCP, that's likely the fault of your router.
Finally, make sure your router also has the most up-to-date firmware installed; routers can sit on shelves in stores long enough that there have been multiple firmware updates released in the interim.
Finally, how do you have your router and modem connected up?
The way this should be done is the cable modem should be connected to the Internet or WAN port on your router, and your router should be set to share an IP address.
One last thing you might want to try before you do all that is to unplug your cable modem and your router. Wait about a minute, then plug in your cable modem. Once all its lights are on, plug in your router. Then try your tests again.
Also, what kind of cable modem is it? Some have built-in routers, and if yours is one of those we might need to take some extra steps to get things set up correctly.

How do I use time machine to backup to external drive on other machine on network

I have 2 x McPros, 2 x iMacs and 2 x MacBook Pro all integrated in the same home network. I have a DroboPro Network which can only be recognised as a Shared device by one MacPro only. There are 2 DroboPro 8 Bay RAID devices attached via Firewire to one MacPro.
With Mavericks how can I ensure that
a. The networked Drobo can be seen by all computers as a shared device (it is connected via Ethernet to central Gigabit switch)
b. That, failing the networked Drobo sharing, how can I ensure all computers on network will always have access for Time Machine backups using the DroboPro attached via Firewire to the one MacPro.
Many thanks, it's probably right under my nose.

Time Machine will only back up internal and directly connected external drives. It will not back up a network attached storage device. You'll have to use some other software to back up the NAS.

Sharing script among other machines over network

Hi,
I have a script that does the following:
1) Opens a pre-made excel workbook (BVHigh.xls)
2) prompts the user to input data through two input prompt boxes (name and grade level for ten students) which then populates the ten sheets of the workbook
3) Renames the tabs of the appropriate sheets
How do I enable the script to be shared among other users over the network? I've included the script and the excel workbook in a folder on our network attached storage device but when I test it from another computer, it simply opens a new workbook rather than the one specified.
Here is the beginning of the script:
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
try
activate
open workbook workbook file name "BVHigh.xls"
activate object worksheet "names"
set myrange to range "A2" of worksheet "names"
set myname to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name title "Students"
set value of myrange to myname
set name of sheet 3 to myname
set myrange to range "B2" of worksheet "names"
set myname to input box prompt "What grade level is this ¬student?" title "Grade Level?"
set value of myrange to myname
This works well on the machine on which it was created (Mac Book Pro- 10.6.2)
Surely I must be missing something! We have mostly eMacs running 10.5.8 and all are running Office 2008.
I could just provide the excel workbook on its own and have the teachers do more on their own but I'd really like to showcase the abilities of Applescript!
Any ideas/suggestions/help will be greatly appreciated!
I also would like to "save as" the workbook based on other data that is provided by the user (from a cell value) but am mainly interested in resolving the sharing protocol which I am clearly missing.
Thanks in advance!

The most obvious problem is that you're just telling Excel to open a file without any consideration of where that file might be.
open workbook workbook file name "BVHigh.xls"
How is Excel to know where this file is? I'm actually surprised it works at all - even on your machine, but I assume that means Excel has a preset list of locations it checks.
At the very least I'd expect this line to require a path to the file you want to open:
open workbook workbook file "Macintosh HD:path:to:BVHigh.xls"
Of course, this begs another question of how to do that in a multi-system environment where you may or may not have control over the path to the file. Either you will need to standardize on the file location, or you may need to craft a more robust script - for example one that's aware of relative paths, or that prompts the user to select the file.

OSX delay in seeing other machines on network.

I have successfully setup my windows/osx network. I am running 3 machines (G5, G4PB,XP-PC Laptop) My G5 has about a 5-10 minute delay when recognizing new computers on the network (both the G4 and PC) My XP machine recognizes the macs immediately upon joining the network. I have all firewalls disabled on all machines including the imbedded windows firewall on network connections. The only other mac program i run for internet monitoring is "Little Snitch".
G5-10.4.6
G4-10.4.6
PC-XP
Is this a common problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks so much for any assistance.

Craig, it sounds like DNS is not working properly.
Are the machines getting their IP addresses from a router on the network (DHCP server)?
Be sure that this G5 is picking up the proper settings.
SystemPreferences>Network>Configure...
If it's DHCP, you likely won't have anything in DNS Servers. try putting the IP address of the router in that "Optional" box, Then apply.
Also...has this G5 been restarted lately? If not, try it. reboot. You could just reset the network on the G5, but a reboot may cure a few ills.

APC UPS and Mac OS X - Getting other machines on network to shutdown safely

I am considering purchasing the APC UPS SMT2200I. Apparently it will only work with one Mac connected via USB and you can set the connected Mac to shutdown after a period of time on UPS power (via the Energy Panel http://tinyurl.com/38zmmu3). If I go with this solution I will connect to an iMac.
Is there an (elegant) way that I can get other computers on my network to safely shutdown when the iMac shuts down due to an alert from the UPS?

Hi,
Most APC Smart-UPSs will work with the Mac, you don't necessarily need to get such a big unit as the SMT2200I, it's probably overkill. You're probably better off going with something like a SMT1500 for your Mac. It's pretty much the biggest unit you can get without having to install a custom power line. You can set the shut down settings in the options to safely shut down your Mac if the power goes out.

OS X 10.5.3 update... Does Time Machine over network still work

Anyone updated to the new 10.5.3 and know if Time Machine still works over the network via AEBS?

I was hoping 10.5.3 would fix things for time machine/time capsule, I had issues with it hijacking my laptop and the network doing fsck_hfs. So I looked forward to fixes, had been doing only back up now, since having to reset everything. I tried it, it took an our to get past preparing, then had 15 meg out of 2 gig backing up, stuck there for hours. I finally killed it by dismounting the disk. When my disappointment reduces I may try a fresh start. I am sure they worked very had on it.

HT4356 all of a sudden I cannot air print from my ipad or iphone - I can still print from my laptop - don't know how to fix

All of a sudden i can no longer air print from my iphone 4S or my ipad 2
Need help
I can still air print from my Dell laptop

Hello rcappel,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when printing from your iPhone and iPad. I found a couple of resources I recommend for the issue you described.
First, I recommend following these steps:
If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"
Verify that the printer:
Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
Has the latest firmware version installed.
Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with the above steps.
You can find the full article here:
AirPrint Basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
If you are still having trouble printing after following those steps, I recommend these steps:
Wi-Fi disconnects, or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.

Are you using DHCP to allocate IP addresses via your router or Static IP allocation?
You may have an IP conflict in your network.
Check on your various network configuration parameters in your iPad, PC and WiFi router.

Why can't I see the other machine on my home network?

I have a home network set up with two pc's and a storage device. My iPad is on the wireless network but the other machines and the storage hard drive are not visible.

In what application were you expecting to see them?

My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked

My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked briefly as a temporary fix but not anymore

You could try this
Temporarily disable security on your home network
See if the iPad connects
If it does then reset the security - with the same or different password

How to call application forms from network directory on other machine

I have installed Oracle Application Server 10G Release2 without IDS (Developer) on my server. I put my application forms & reports on the same machine(APPSERVER) and run the application as follows:-
http://appserver.www.ebs.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?form=\\appserver\pass_3_1.fmx
My Application runs well. But i want to use the 'Pass_3_1.fmx' form from other machine's(SERVER) network folder as below:-
http://appserver.www.ebs.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?form=\\server\pass_3_1.fmx
I am not able to launch my application. It throws error 'Cannot read form \\server\pass_3_1.fmx'. I also tried mapping on F:\. But it didn't work.
Please advise . Thanks in Advance.
Regards

Hi,
I don't understand exactly your problem but I tel you that your application mast be reside in the application server and the URL to call your application shouldn't change:
http://appserver.www.ebs.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?form=\\appserver\pass_3_1.fmx
good luck.

I can't see others machines in my network

Hi
I have this problem: I have a network (with the same range of ip in computers, the same mask, etc). In this network, the wired devices can discover and see others devices in "network places" or "network map". But, when I connect
with my laptop (windows 7 pro) I can't. I can't see in network places, but if I write in explorer bar "\\IP-otherMachine" I can see his shared folders. I connect with my laptop with wireless wpa2-enterprise (aes & peap). Obiusly I have checked
"discover other devices..." in home group options. Can anybody help me?
PS: Sorry for my English :(

I mean that I always can to access shared files and folder's other machines in my network. The problem is:
If I want a file of my other computer named "Example", I must to write in Explorer "\\IP-for-example-machine" (172.17.10.111 for example). But, if I click in "Network" in any Explorer folder or "Start button,
click Control Panel,
click Network and Internet,
and then click Network and Sharing Center.
In the upper-right corner, click View full map. "
in "Network and Sharing Center" options in Control Panel, I can't see any PC.
If I write "\\Example" in Explorer I can't see shared folders of Example machine, but if I write the IP I can.
All of this in Wireless. In wired, all is normal.
And these option that you said, I have checked, the problem still.
