My computer and printer aren't connecting

This has happened to my and my husbands computers since we moved house and got a new router. I no longer have the disk, but have re-installed a driver that was missing, as this is what the troubleshooter for my computer told me to do. Still n change.

Hi,
What is your printer ? Drivers for many printers are still on the vendors' sites. Users can download then reinstall them. To help us answer question quicker, please read this:

I've downloaded the past 2 updates for my iphone 5s and now it keeps asking me to trust my own computer and it wont even connect to itunes!

I've downloaded the past 2 updates for my iphone 5s and now it keeps asking me to trust my own computer and it wont even connect to itunes! I am current with software on both my computer and my iphone 5s. Now when I hook it up to my computer it still keeps asking me if I trust the computer and it won't connect to Itunes?

DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

As long as you do not enable Sharing of any kind (System Preferences > Sharing) no other computer can connect with yours. Also make sure you have your wireless network protected with a WPA2 password.
That's all I can suggest without knowing what OS version you are running (you are not running iOS as that is for iDevices).

Encrypting network between computer and printer

I would like to encrypt a network between computer and printer but I see references to ASCII and hexadecimal which I don't understand. Please can anyone explain in simple terms how to go about this?

The picture you showed is the settings for a WiFi network. There are four main types of encryption 40bit WEP, 128bit WEP, and WPA or WPA2. (I am ignoring WPA2 Enterprise as it is unlikely the printer is capable of this.)
WEP and WPA and WPA2 have all been cracked although it is still the case that WPA2 is better than WPA which in turn is better than WEP. On that basis while using eny of these encryption schemes is better than nothing if you are really concerned with security you would be better using an Ethernet cable.
WPA2 Enterprise is still somewhat secure but as its name suggests is not general suitable for home or small office setups.
With regards to ASCII and Hex, WEP passwords can be entered in either style, they would in fact be the same just entered differently. It is possible to convert an ASCII value to Hex and vice-versa.

Recent firedfox update immedately cause break in connection between computer and printer

about 2 weeks ago Firefox offered an update. I clicked to start this. right after the printer failed to respond to the computer and a message said: check cables (done) restart computer(done) check firewall - I don't know how to do this. I have a McAfee contract.
Could this update have caused the problem? was this update offer legitimate or a virus?

here is the same problem
i cant switch between vc7,8,9...only between 1 and 7.
when i switch to vc8 or 9 only comes nothing but a blank black screen.
there is no problem on vc1 to vc6, login screen works there.
gdmflexiserver command doesnt works, same blank black screen.
but when X is not in work all virtual consoles works without problem.
ive searched everywhere for this problem but nothing works.people have recommend same things; gdmflexiserver etc.
i think it is a problem with X server, maybe a bug of this version.Mine is xorg-server 1.5.3-4.
Any?

My ipad with retina display can't find my epson artisan 730 wireless printer. They are on the same network and printer's wireless connection is excellent. What are the steps to fix this?

My imac won't pick up the printer either. Even after I updated it's software. My ipad is new. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

No change. The printer still doesn't show up on my devices even though they are all on the same network. On the printer's connection print out the connection reads Pass and that the network is working correctly. However, then it states "*A router/access point channel conflict has been detected. If you have problems printing or scanning, Improve your wireless network environment." "*If the problems persist, see your documentation for help and networking tips."
I've gone through all the documentation and still can't figure out what the problem is. I've had the router checked out by my building and they claim everything is in order. I have a excellent signal.

ITunes says my computer and iPod aren't similarly authorized

I'm trying to sync my iPod Touch 2G with iTunes on my Windows XP computer, and I keep getting this message:
"This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPod "Catherine the Great". Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?
If you do not authorize this computer, 4 apps, including "AIM", and their data will be deleted form this iPod."
There are cancel, authorize, and don't authorize buttons. I can hit cancel but I need to sync my iPod and that's counterproductive, I can hit authorize and be taken to the "Enter Account Name and Password" login bit... I enter my apple ID and password and it says "This computer is already authorized". I even double-checked that it was the same username and password in my iPod and it is, it's what I use to download apps from the iTunes store.
If I hit "don't authorize", it starts the sync but then says it's deleting apps because they're not authorized.
How do I fix this? I've never had this problem before. I haven't synced my iPod in the past two weeks at least, probably a few weeks longer than that, and I have iTunes 10.1.1.4. I don't remember exactly when the last time I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes was, but there's definitely a good chance I haven't tried to sync my iPod since the last time I updated iTunes.

I tried everything it said, but nothing worked. But thank you for the link, I was looking for something along those lines in the Apple Support area and missed it somehow.
I just realized though that when it prompts me to authorize it's my AIM screenname it has in the Apple ID space, even though I don't use that as my Apple ID and, as far as I know, did not ever download anything from the iTunes store with that.
Do you know any way to check if I downloaded any of my apps using a different ID even though I really don't think I did?
I would just deauthorize it and then redownload them all, but some of them aren't available any more and I have data, ebooks, etc. on them.

WebI - Save to my Computer and Print doesn't work - screen flashes quickly

I have some very basic questions about WebIntelligence. I can't believe that I am stumbling
on something simple - here it is:
1. I created a report and want to save it on my computer - I click Save to my Computer and
select the "As Excel" option. It just flashes - if I choose the PDF option its the same. What
could be wrong?
2. I want to print my report. I create a report, hit the print button, comes up with the
Make Printable Version and I click OK again it flashes and doesn't want to print.
I have Adobe Reader 9 installed.
Any clues what I may be missing?
Thanks very much!

HT1414 my phone needed to updated now i have it pluged in to my computer and itunes will not connect. My internet is working obviously

If you decide to Restore you iPhone, then restart your computer, open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

You can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod: File>transfer Purchases

How do I connect to internet when I have tried to restore my computer and it won't connect to wifi?

I Bought a used laptop and tried to restore it back to factory setting and deleted everything off the hat drive and now it won't connect to the internet and because it wont connect to the internet I can't re download the osx

Then you're in a pickle...
Did wifi work before you tried to restore? And doesn't it accept your password or is there something else?

My computer and iPhone will NOT connect, Sync is loaded on both but will NOT connect

I don't know details. I followed the instructions and I can not connect to Firefox. The game is Kingdom of Camelot. Other tabs post but not Camelot.

Can you be a little more specific about what are you trying to do? Your issue doesn't seem related to Firefox.
I will try to help you as soon as I understand the issue in detail.

I am having problems connecting my imac to a Kodak printer wirelessly. This was previously working fine. The printer states it is connected to the home network but the connection between computer and printer has been lost/ cannot find printer.

In addition, I contacted kodak support and they wished to take control of my computer in order to rectify the problem. I did not allow this as I was worried about security . Can anyone tell me whether once you allow someone to take control of your computer, then it is a security risk. What protection does my imac provide ? Thanks.

I think you can do it on a one time basis, & not allow after that.
