MacBook running OSX 10.9.2 - Canon MX860 multifunction printer won't connect to wireless network

At the same time I upgraded to OSX 10.9.2, my wireless modem/router died and I had to replace it.  Don't know which (or both) caused the problem, but I can't get my Canon MX860 multifunction printer back on the wifi network.  Has anyone solved this problem?

I thought I would let you all know how I ended up fixing the issue on my system.
I noticed that after some time the 'ping' would stop responding and I would have to reset the printer in order to get the ping responses again. This seemed more like a network strangness than an actual printer issue.
So I connected to my AirPort Extreme to see if it was missing any software updates (it was not) and in the process I ended up making a couple of changes that I don't believe could be the cause of my issue, but any change made requires the device to reboot. After this, I was then able to add my printer.
Everyone should also note that after you click on the + to Add a printer, it will take some time before the printer shows up in the Default section. So make sure you wait at least a couple of minutes for it to show up.
So even though you may think the printer is actually on the network like I did (I could even put the IP address into Safari and access the printer configuration), it may still be a wireless network issue and not an actual issue with the printer or OSX 10.9.2 or the printer drivers.
Hope that helps others having this same issue.

  • MacBook Pro won't connect to wireless network unless tilted

    Hi! My MacBook Pro occasionally has trouble connecting to the wireless network in my house, but that can usually be solved by turning Airport off and then back on. Today (very suddenly), Airport disconnected from my network and could not find it again. I tried restarting my MacBook Pro and router multiple times. Finally it was able to connect, but here's the thing: it only works if my MacBook is tilted at an angle. If I try to open a webpage while the MacBook is sitting normally on a flat surface, the page won't load. If I lift one side of the MacBook so that it's tilted at a 45 degree angle, the page will load. Once it's level again the internet will stop working and the Airport signal bars will turn gray.
    I've never come across a problem like this before. Everything was running fine this morning. It is so strange and I have no idea what to do! Help, please? Is my Airport dying? Is something loose inside? My MacBook Pro is about 4 years old.

    Delete your network from system preferences, network, advanced.
    re enter your network you wish to join
    If that fails then do a PRAM reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    and a SMC reset

    Maybe something to do with the motion sensor
    if so try resetting the SMC

  • Macbook pro won't connect to wireless network

    hi, hopefully somebody could give me an advice!
    i purchased a 13.3 inch macbook pro yesterday and i'm in love...except for the fact that it will NOT connect to my wireless network. i have been using a linksys WRT45G version 6 router for many years with no problems (currently have 3 computers linked to it - all pc's). i've updated the firmware but still no luck.
    the macbook pro is able to see the network but can not join - it gives me a generic "connection failed" message when putting in the WEP password. i consider myself to be techno-savvy, but not with macs! i'm completely lost and equally frustrated. help, please!

    Hi guys,
    I seem to have a similar problems. It is starting to occur this afternoon and somehow i cant fix it.
    I have just installed my Snow Leopard about 3 days ago... and it was working fine. This afternoon I had a problem with my modem, but after resetting it about 3 times it was working fine again. So i tried to connect to it wirelessly but it kept saying 'connection timeout'. It becomes really annoying at the point of resetting the modem to its factory default settings. But then, i tried using the ethernet cable. It seems to be working fine for now. I tried connecting it through my home computer 'wirelessly' and it seems to be working fine. What I am wondering now is that, why doesn't my MacBook Pro connects wirelessly? Anyone has any idea?
    PS: I have tried changing the channel of my modem and it doesn't do much.
    Thanks

    You can run iPhoto 9.2.3 with the system you currently have. It's available thru iLife 11 as Niel has already mentioned.

  • How can i download an older version of pages for late 2007 macbook running osx lion

    i would like to download an older version of the pages for late 2007 macbook running osx lion

    If you previously bought Pages from the Mac App Store, click here and follow the instructions, or go to the Mac App Store main page, click on Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.
    If not, buy an iWork 09 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay.

    I have a Mid 2007 13-inch MacBook running OSX 10.7.5 and I'm unable to load Yosemite. I get the following message:  "We could not complete your purchase. This version of OS X 10.10 cannot be installed on this computer." My Mac is up-to-date and it has 18 GB of available space. Anyone know why I can't get this loaded?

    Before you install Yosemite, make sure you have one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) Your model is a Mid '07
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)

  • Installed iWork '09 on MacBook running OSX 10.7.2 and Pages won't open .doc files. Why?

    I just recently installed iWork '09 on MacBook running OSX 10.7.2 and Pages won't open .doc files.
    I did a search looking for a solution in the forums and here are the actions I've taken:
    1) Made sure the files were't read/write protected.
    2) Restarted the computer.
    3) Made sure all the program files were in the correct folder.
    4) Reinstalled the program.
    Pages won't read .doc files that were originally Pages files and exported as .docs
    It also won't read .doc files that were created using a relatively recent version of Office.
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
    Please help.

    If it's a doc created with the late Office 2011, it's not really surprising.
    The importer embedded in iWork application was delivered in january 2009 and didn't evolve.
    For this reason, it's unaware of new features delivered with Office 2011.
    Better try with LibreOffice.

  • Problems with adding Canon MG5320 Multifunction Printer?

         I just got a new Canon MG5320 Multifunction Printer. When I try to install the usb driver with the included CD, I am sucessful until step three where it prompts to connect the usb cable and turn it on.
         The next button is clickable until I turn on the printer. When I turn it on, a window comes up saying "Do you want to install the driver for the Canon MG5320." If you say yes, it says that it is downloading and installing it, but when it is done, it says Apple doesn't have the driver.
         If I press the next button without ever turning it on, it say that it is that the driver was installed sucessfully, but if I go to System Preferences Printers > Add new printer, I select the printer and it says that Apple has the driver, but again when it is done, it says Apple doesn't have the driver.
         Please help, I need this done in less than a week for collage.

    Install the driver from the link I gave you. Connect the printer to the Mac with the usb cable. Turn on the printer. System Preferences>Print & Fax>Add a Printer.
