Mac OSX update and wireless printing

I have an iMac G4. Ran the updates yesterday (including security). My wireless printers no longer work (Brother and HP). I tried deleting and then adding the HP, but Bonjour cannot find it. I have downloaded new HP drivers, fixed permissions and rebooted, but nothing helps. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

All fixed. Reset the routers and did a safeboot.

  • I have an epson xp600 and a mac book pro. Wireless printing is OK if I'm lucky for one time only then a 'failed to connect' message so I have to delete and re add the printer to get it working again (but just once!) then the same occurs. Why?

    I have an epson xp600 and a mac book pro. Wireless printing is OK if I'm lucky for one time only then a 'failed to connect' message so I have to delete and re add the printer to get it working again (but just once!) then the same occurs. Why?

    I am not certain this will fix your problem but I suggest you assign the printer a static IP address.
    Using the printer's front panel, select Menu > Network > WLAN > TCP/IP > Boot method, and change it to "static". Provide a static IP address that is on your LAN's subnet.
    For example, if you are using an AirPort Extreme, you might give it an IP address of 10.0.1.100. If you are using a Netgear or Linksys router that defaults to issuing 192.168.x.x addresses, you might give it an address of 192.168.1.100. That way, the printer will always "reside at the same address" on your network. If your router has the ability, you should reserve that address so that the router does not attempt to assign it to another DHCP device.
    Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, and delete your existing printer with the "–" (minus) button. Add it again, using the "+" (plus) button. In the window that appears, select the IP pane, and from the Protocol menu select "Line Printer Daemon (LPD)". In the Address field type the IP address you gave your printer.
    If all goes well the "Pring Using" field will detect the printer at that address and automatically select the appropriate driver. You will see something similar to the following screenshot ("name" can be whatever you decide, and "location" is optional):
    Click Add, then you can close System Preferences.
    There are other possible reasons your printer is "not responding" which could include wireless interference from competing wireless networks, but try this "static IP" method first. It should mitigate the problem.

  • Where can I get current info on SysAdmin Certification(s) for Mac OSX SL and Lion?

    Where can I get current info on SysAdmin Certification(s) for Mac OSX SL and Lion? The Apple website for this is "under construction" for weeks now...
    Thanks,
    [email protected]

    Certification test for OS X 10.7 Lion are not available yet. I assume they will be nearly identical to the test of 10.5 and 10.6. Hopefully, the reason the certification website has been down for a while is that they are updating it with the new information. Though I really wouldn't expect any 10.7 certification test to be available for 2-4 months. Peachpit Press didn't publish their training material for 10.6 until October even though 10.6 was released in August.
    As far as the 10.6 Certifications:
    Certified Support Professional, 10.6 requires the 9L0-403 exam.
    Certified Technical Coordinator, 10.6 requires the 9L0-403 as well as the 9L0-510 (Server Essentials) exams.
    The information for the Certified System Administrator, 10.6 is "hidden" on the integral7 website but according to this Wikipedia entry, you need to pass the 9L0-510 Server Essentials exam as well as these three:
    Directory Services
    Deployment
    Security and Mobility

  • Can not install Mac OSX Update Combo10.4.5 PPC

    I have a clean installation of Tiger on a Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics) with Sonnet 1 ghz processor upgrade, updated to 10.4.3 by running Software Update. No other updates available at this time.
    So I downloaded MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.5PPC.dmg and it stops at "Select a Destination."
    "You cannot install Mac OSX Update Combined (Power PC) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
    I must have installed this update previously, to get to 10.4.6, to install Adobe CS3 which REQUIRES 10.4.6.
    Now I can't figure out how I got this update installed - sorry if this has been posted previously.
    This isn't my main machine, thankfully, but I use it as a spare in the studio to transfer images to.
    Can anyone help me get this OS updated to 10.4.6?
    I don't have the original processor, so re-installing it isn't an option.
    Thanks.

    No, I wouldn't ignore them, I think we really have more messed up than just this, and if any of these steps fix it, we'll likely need new downloads.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
    May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
    If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

    Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.

  • Mac Book  wont reboot after Mac OSX update

    Was doing a regular update and a MAC OSX update was included among many others. After doing it, my macbook will not rebot and just remains in the loading stage.

    Hi Everyone,
    It is a macbook not ibook, sorry my mistake.
    I did not know it would be breaking or violating anything, if so I apologise!!
    I will obviously need to buy the software specifically for my macbook is the answer, thank you for all your answers.
    If i buy the software do I still have to ask for macbook or is the retail version for any mac machine?
    Sorry - I wasn't trying to be harsh. The software on the restore discs is licensed (or should I say licenced) for use on one computer. I think a lot of people might dispose of or sell them after their machines expire or they upgrade to a newer version of OSX.
    This gets really complicated.
    There are currently 6 different iterations (all the machines at the same issue date should use the same install version) of the polycarbonate shell MacBook. Each one would require a different set of install discs. Several of these came out before Leopard (10.5) was on the market and the install discs have Tiger (10.4.X). If your machine was of a vintage before Leopard was on the market, you can install using any retail version of Leopard. I have a copy of Leopard with the original 10.5.0 version. The current retail version of Leopard is 10.5.6. This should install on any MacBook which came standard with any version before 10.5.6.
    Are you confused enough now?
    If you could identify which iternation of MacBook you have, I think people here could give you a better idea of what your options are for installation of the operating system. You could put your old drive back in, run System Profiler and find out which MacBook version you have. Mine says MacBook 3,1. My guess is that any retail version of Leopard should work since you identified your OS as 10.4.11.

  • I just upgraded to Mac OSX Lion and can't attach documents to my hotmail.  Can anyone help?

    I just upgraded to Mac OSX Lion and can't attach documents to my hotmail.  Can anyone help?

    Hi there,
    Over the last few days, this issue has been driving me up the wall too!
    I downloaded Lion OS a few months ago, but it was only until a few days ago did i attempt to logon to Hotmail to check my account & send an email with an attachment.
    Normally i use the MAC Mail app, which is synchronised to my hotmail account.
    Anyway, I'm not sure whether the Lion OS is the root cause of the issue, however after much digging around on various forums - the issue for me was resolved by downloading the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight 5 (www.microsoft.com/silverlight). Its a free download....

  • Network Magic Pro 5.5 keeps dropping my router and wireless printer ...

    ...multiple times per day.
    WIN 7 Pro 64-bit, SP1
    Network Magic 5.5.9195.0-Pure0
    Motorola Surfboard  model SB6120 Cable modem
    Windows Firewall configured by Norton Security Suite 6.2.1.5
    Linksys WRT54G2 router ver.1
    My problem is as stated in the header.  My router needs to have the power cycled multiple times a day because it is dropping my internet access.  This problem did not occur until I purchased in installed Network Magic.  Also, the wireless printer needs to have the cycle powered almost as often.  I've had both the router and wireless printer for more than 2 years and never experienced this problem before installing Network Magic
    I manually changed my MTU setting to 1472 from Automatic.  This has not helped.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks!

    From what I know, the network magic software won't affect your internet connection since it is just  a software to use to manage your network. You may want to isolate the problem first. You can try uninstalling the network magic software from your computers and try to observe your connection again.

  • IPhone not updating due to lack of iTunes and Mac OSX update

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 3GS running software version 4.1 and am needing to update it to the next version. When I click on the 'update' button when the phone is connected to my MacBook, a window pops up that says 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. I realize that iTunes needs to be updated as well, but in order to do that I need a different version of Mac OSX. I have an older MacBook and am currently running Mac OSX 10.4.11
    My question is: is the only way to update my iPhone at this point to purchase the OSX Leopard 10.5? I seem to be caught in a dilemna of not having the most up-to-date software on my computer, but I wish it didn't effect my iPhone performance.
    Any information would be helpful. Thank you!

    You can upgrade the MacBook directly to Snow Leopard for $29.00

  • Cannot manually print with Mac OSX 6 and ID CS3

    I installed Mac Snow Leopard OSX yesterday, and now I cannot make InDesign CS3 files print manually. When I go to the printer dialog box and set Manual Print, then return to the ID Print Dialog and hit PRINT, I get the autofeed paper printed, not the manual. What happened?
    Thanks,
    - Mike Yanega

    No, but I will download that now. Thank you.

    I upgraded to the 10.6.6 version of the OS and I am still getting the same symptoms. I cannot seem to get Manual Printing from InDesign CS3.
    I just tried printing from my Mail and cannot do that Manually either, so apparently there is a print driver issue?

  • WRT54G and wireless printing on a Mac

    Hello Thanks for reading this! I am looking to get rid of the PC that is currently connected to a very old, but reliable printer - HP Laserjet 4000. I would like to hook up the printer to the router I have, but have no clue about how to do it. I have done a little research, but am not very clever when it comes to printer servers (is this hardware?), IP addresses, LANs and how to make this happen. BUT I am very keen to learn about it as it's one of those subjects that has mystified me for too long! I am on an Intel Mac running Leopard (and another PPC Mac running Tiger) and would appreciate some help and advice! Thanks! Sail

    Well open the setup page of the router using 192.168.1.1 put the password as admin & leave the username blank.Now, click on the wireless tab & over there click the tab which says wireless over there you will get the ssid i.e., the network name & over here you will get wireless security as sub-tab over here you will get the wireless security key or the wep key.....these settings you need to put on the printer page & setup the printer accordingly & you will be able to print wirelessly!!!
