Macbook Air and the Canon Pixma MG2200

Hi,
I moved to England and am still using a Macbook Air from the US. I recently purchased a Canon Pixma MG2200 printer and would like to use it...however it will not work on my mac. I've download the necessary software, restarted my computer, purchased the correct usb chords, etc. It just simply won't appear on my computer at all. Any advice?

I had a similar problem with my Canon printer but after it had been working.  It stopped wirelessly connecting to my MBA but did connect wirelessly to our MacBook.  I turned it and my MBA off, waited, turned them back on and it did not fix the problem.  Then we had some electrical work done on the house and the power was out for 15 minutes.  That fixed it!  So the first action I suggest you unplug it, wait a minute or more and then plug it in again.
I found it useful to install the software form the CD provided with the printer rather than downloading the drivers.  The download options were confusing with different drivers for different functions and the scanner did not work from the System Preferences > Print & Scan menu until I installed the software from the CD.
If all else fails contact Canon.  It could be DOA and clearly is covered under the Canon warranty.

    Log into the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up. Look under purchases. If it is not there you may need to accept it or to unhide it

    What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
    In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

    The only way to sync Notes is through a mail server. If you don't want to use iCloud, you'll have to use some other mail account, or run your own mail server under OS X Server. The latter is a job for advanced users only.

  • Pros and cons of the macbook air and the macbook pro

    Hi!
    This coming year, my younger daugter will go to high school and need a macbook because she is dyslectic. I want to know which one between the macbook air and the macbook pro will be the best for her. Thanks for your answer.

    At least according to their web site, Whitesmoke Executive is not compatible with the Mac operating system.
    Word Q does have a Mac version. http://www.goqsoftware.com/products/
    I was unable to figure out what software package you meant by Antidote. There are several.
    Word, of course, is part of MS Office, and they make a Mac OS version. I use Office 2011 daily.
    None of these products are likely to tax the hardware of either of the computers you mention at all. The computer will be spending most of its time waiting for your daughter to do something.
    Note - my neice just bought a MacBook Air 11". She is entering the University of South Carolina in the fall and is absolutely thrilled with the computer.

  • Recently bought a macbook air and the camera doesnt work

    Its super frustrating.
    It did work once with skype, but after i tried using photobooth it stopped working completely and now it doesnt work on skype, googlehangouts and neither, of course, on photobooth. The computer is quite new and i attempted using the camera only a few times.
    Any idea on what this might be?
    Maybe something with updates?

    iSight camera failure after OS X 10.9 Mavericks update might resolve your trouble.
    If not, contact the retailer who sold you the new Mac ASAP.  It may need replacement or repair. 
    If you bought directly from Apple on-line, you can Contact Apple's MacBook Air Support or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for help.

  • I have a Macbook Air and the start up disk is full so it won't boot up.  How can I get it to boot so I can delete files?

    I have a Macbook Air and the start up disk is full so it will not boot up.  How can I boot it up so I can delete some files?

    You will have to see about booting it from another drive or USB flash drive or another computer. When you are able to then see the following:
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion's Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • I have macbook air and the first buttons from ,esc to power, make different orders what can i do ?

    i have macbook air and the first buttons from ,esc to power, make different orders what can i do ?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The behavior of those buttons (and other key shortcuts) can be set/changed in System Preferences->Keyboard:Keyboard Shortcuts button.
    If you are missing the power button shutdown option from Mavericks OS 10.9x the workaround is control-power button or hold the power button down longer that poking (sleep) but not as long as force shutdown (crash).

  • Torn Between The MacBook Air and the Pro. Advice?

    I have a MacBook Pro, but do a lot of photography and would love the Retina display. However the shorter battery life and the number of people who have warned me I will need to replace the hard drive with a SSD concerns me. I currently store my photos on an external hard drive. Thanks for your help.

    In my opinion, you should only buy the Pro if you know for a fact you need the extra CPU/GPU power. If you don't, you'll be stuck with the Pro's disadvantages (heavier, worse battery, etc...) without benefiting from any of the advantages (the aforementioned additional CPU/GPU power). Wait till the end of the year/early next year to see if Apple has a retina Air. Otherwise, only get the Pro if you know you need the extra horsepower.

  • Is there a difference between the macbook air and the macbook pro?

    i know the specs but are there some differences where you can tell me about??

    The differences are pretty obvious if you've read the technical specifications comparison. Which MacBook Pro are you comparing the MacBook Air against? There are additional differences if you're comparing between 13, 15 or 17" models.
    The most obvious differences:
    Optical Drive
    Ethernet port
    FireWire port
    i5/i7 CPU architecture
    Dedicated GPU (15 & 17 MBP)
    RAM and HDD upgradeability
    Backlit keyboard
