My Canon Pixma 620 suddenly stopped being recognized by my iMac
For the past year I have had no problems printing with my wireless printer. But as of just two days ago I am no longer able to print.
Each time I try to print to my Canon Pixma MP620 printer I get a popup that says The printer is not connected, under which there is a grey moving line, beneath which it says Printing - the printer is offline.
When this first happened I decided to delete and reinstall the printer from my computer, and I reinstalled the driver. The reinstallation worked perfectly and I don't think there is anything wrong with the printer itself. However, when I tried to print again I had the same problem.
I have an iMac OSX 10.8.5. As I mentioned, this only started happening suddenly about two days ago; before that there was never a problem.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to have my computer and printer communicate again? Do you think there is an update that happened behind-the-scenes that messed this up? Any other suggestions?
Thank you.
Try resetting the printing system http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1341

MY IPOD SUDDENLY STOPPED BEING RECOGNIZED BY MY COMPUTER AND WOULDNT CHARGE
I have a weird problem, when I plug my IPOD into my computer, it wouldnt be recognized at all (just lik if I had not plugged anything in). The Ipod would work play songs and work fine, but all of a sudden it would not trigger its detection on my Windows XP. It happened all of a sudden.
It wont even charge, or appear in the list of devices... does anyone here have any idea of what could be the problem?
Thanks a lot
David.I had this problem before. It ended up that I called
Apple and had to purchase an AppleCare Protection
Plan for $50, only for them to tell me to reset my
iPod. Here is how to do it:
Put your iPod on a flat surface.
Toggle the "hold" switch on and then off, to turn
your iPod on.
Press and hold the MENU and SELECT buttons
simultaneously, until the Apple logo appears on the
screen.
Then try to connect your iPod to your comptuer
again.
I hope this helps!
Wond3rlust, what kind iPod are you refering to? Im having the exact same problem with mine; it justs tarted doing this like alst week, but mine's an iPod shuffle, so it doesn't have "menu" and "select" buttons.
But I'm having the same issue with my shuffle. I don't knwo why its doing this. If i knew it was going to cost problems when it isn't even a year odl yet I wouldn't of gotten the shuffle; I would've gotten the mini or something, but I thought, the shuffle being small and not very high tech and everything, that it would cause no problems at all...obviously i was wrong. I NEED HELP TOO!! IM NOTHING WITHOUT MY MUSIC! -
New Apple Airport Time Capsule Suddenly Stopped Being Recognized by IMAC
It worked flawlessly for a little over a month or so. Then suddenly it is not recognized. It's ID has changed when I look in Time Machine, so I hesitate to reselect this "data" ID that was not what was setup in the store (and which worked flawless for 6 weeks and which now does not appear as available). In Finder, no backup drive appears at all. Just some unknown remote network volume that is not selectable and the hard drive. The TM backup drive is gone.
The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership. Try restarting it first.

Ipod classic suddenly not being recognized on PC
Hi,
My ipod classic (7th gen) used to work fine and was recognized on my PC and in iTunes. BUT now it has suddenly stopped being recognized on the PC. My other ipod classic works fine and is recognized by the PC and iTunes as soon as I plug it in (same dock with the same lead), so it can't be anything to do with the lead / USB / dock.
I have tried resetting the ipod, uninstalling & reinstalling iTunes, to no avail.
Can anyone please help?!
I use Windows 8.1 (64-bit).
Thanks,
MikeHave you tried everything here?

Verbatim USB Flash Drive Stops Being Recognized
All of a sudden the other day, my Verbatim USB flash drive just stopped being recognized... it had been mounted, a TM backup made to it when all of a sudden I got an error stating that it had been improperly removed... it was like I had yanked it from the USB port...
I tried unplugging it, reconnecting, rebooting, moving it to another computer... no luck... it doesn't even show up in Disk Utility
Verbatim has agreed to replace it under warranty but I'm wondering if there's anyway that I can mount it again to retrieve the TM backups...
Any thoughts?
Many thanks!
-JustinMy Verbatim 32G flash drive appears on the left, but it will not allow me to repair it, mount, or eject it. It will not show up in Computer like it normally does. I have tried restarting it, turning it off, and doing Command+Option+r+p, which did not work. I believe I caused this problem by accidenlty ejecting the flash drive before safely removing it. How could I make it appear on the Computer again?

EA6500 stopped being recognized by wireless printer
Last week, my EA6500 stopped being recognized by my wireless Canon printer. The laptops and ipad can still see the router. How do I fix this? I have tried router power off, and, complete reconfigure as if new. Has not fixed the wireless printer issue. THe printer can see other networks
Also, one suggestion was to do a 'reconnection' to the printer by first pressing a wps button. Does the EA6500 have this button?Hi jjohnsen8!
In my case, what I did was disable the Simple Tap feature on the router. It's also running on 2.4 GHz so it may have interferred to the network. On the Linksys Smart WiFi, click on Wireless >> Simple Tap >> the select OFF. -
Do I need to reinstall Lion because my iPhone stopped being recognized by...
Do I REALLY need to reinstall Lion because my iPhone stopped being recognized by Image Capture, Aperture and iPhoto but still shows up in iTunes?
I was on the phone with Apple Support with 5 different Advisors for more than 3 hrs today and we were not able to resolve the problem (yet). Although the problem is frustrating, it's always kind of a pleasure chatting with the Advisors. (I said kinda)
Approx 2 weeks ago, iPhoto, Aperture and Image Capture all stopped recognizing my iPhone. Oddly, iTunes has no problem recognizing the iPhone. Here are just a few of the things we tried but didn't get the apps to see the iPhone again:
- Removed and deleted all photos on camera roll using a windows machine
- Removed all other photos synced between my iMac and iPhone
- Made sure an image existed on the camera roll
- Recorded some video on iPhone and then tried to get iMovie to recognize device
- Restored (gulp) the device followed by a restore from back-up
- Restored again (double gulp) but this time to factory settings and kept the device as a "new iPhone"
- Logged on as different users
and on and on.
Also, after noting that my machine refused to send a systems report to my Sr Advisor (Jimmy) at Apple, he suggests we re-install Lion (ack). But when we went to access the Recovery Partition we realized it wasn't there.
No recovery partition?
Not sending system reports to Apple?
Several Apps not seeing iPhone while others are recognizing the device?
So now I wait for Lion to arrive on one of those nifty Apple thumb drives for me to try re-installing ;-(
The following screen grab shows my iPhone in iTunes but not recognized by Image Capture. URGH!Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed. -

Check the outgoing mail server settings in your account on the Treo and see if it is set for your yahoo account.
Make sure it is not set for the Hotmail account.

I need to reinstall my Canon Pixma Pro 9500 MK 2 printer on my iMac running Mavericks. It looks for software but Apple cannot find. The driver is available on my computer. Is there a way I can force the installer to use the available driver?

My external HD of 1TB is not being recognized by the iMac and when after a long waiting period it does, the whole computer becomes extremely slow. Do I need any particular add-on to make it workable?
Before I updated to OS X Mavericks I was using another external disk that was getting disconnected ocasionally so I bought a new ADATA HD710 portable 1TB Drive and moved the files to it. This new drive which is supposed to be OS X Mavericks compatible takes minutes to show the files especially when opening second and third level folders which has made mu iMac unusable
What should I do?Your Mac should be able to recognize many different types of drives (including Windows-formatted drives) immediately for Reading, provided they are in good working condition and not damaged. There should be no need to transfer to a different type of drive.
If there is no recognition of this drive, see if it can be seen in Disk Utility.
If your aim is to transfer the data on it DO NOT use ERASE or PARTITION as these will completely erase all the information on the Drive.
If the drive is present while the Mac sleeps, it is likely to drop out and not be seen any longer, especially if it is a USB-powered drive. -

Registrations for certain software are not being recognized by my Imac.
Registrations for software that require web based verifications are not being recognized by my iMac 27 2010 10.6.8
Included in the list of software that I have been using for some over a year now is FCE 4, Bias Peak, and Sibelius, and iRealb from the app store.
This is not a new issue although with the latest security update installed last week, the problem has been exacerbated.
I had the problem last year but found that if I shutdown (not just restarted) and then powered up again all my registrations would be recognized. Now my workaround no longer seems to work. I actually went for about 5 months with no problems and then occasionally I would have the shutdown/power up until last week.
I mirror the same software on my Macbook Pro 10.6.8 and have had no problems.
Thanks for any help.
MichaelI can add Kindle reader to the software list now. I used it last week and this week the cloud didn't recognize my computer.
Also on the iRealb app downloaded from the Apple app store I get a dialog that says the software was purchased on another computer (which it was, my laptop) and asks me to verify with my iTunes ID. I try to verify and it is unsuccessful, can not verify your computer.
