Hello Jfadair9,
Thanks for the post. I'm not sure which model printer that you have but you should be able to print from your iPad 2 with the HP Home and Biz application. This is for wireless printers that are NOT web enabled. I've included a link below with some great information on how to get this resolved. Good Luck!

Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Finder Crash, what now? Merge data somehow?

for the umpteenth time i have had Finder crash out while trying to move a folder (55 GB) from my desktop mac pro to my laptop macbook pro.
now i have TWO folders on each desktop of each machine and i don't want to have to /manually/ pick through this data to figure out what is where.
is there a software or method to put humpty dumpty back together again?
apologies if this is the wrong forum but i am trying other places because i have not gotten a good answer on what appears to me to be a big problem in mac OS.
i need a /practical/ fix for it.
thanks.

hey man.
permissions and file in use and all this bs is unpleasant to deal with IMHO. i have yet to figure out how there is a file in my documents folder that i shouldn't have permission to move and i have frequently found software to be closed but finder to tell me that i can't move something because it is "in use".
anyway, it happens.
the problem to figure out is what to do when it does happen and i wish there was a technical article explaining this because for the life of me i cannot figure out how this is not a MISSION CRITICAL user level problem that needs to be explained a little.
moving a folder to a destination with the Option Key held down - that results in a crash:
A) partially /copies/ data to the destination but keeps all data in the origination folder intact - or -
B) partially /moves/ the data to the destination folder and now your data is split into two locations [with the last piece of information that was moved being the file listed in Finder (or whatever and however this happens) /before/ the file listed that caused the crash]...
A?
B?
Other?
How come i never get an answer that makes sense on this one except the advice not to move and instead to COPY only and then go back and DELETE the data that was successfully copied over but for which you have no bread crumb trail to follow unless you were literally taking notes about what you were doing when you were moving data around...
argh. this is a frustrating issue.

Programs keep crashing, WHAT CAN I DO?

Programs keep on crashing at random times, what can I do to fix this problem, please help!
-Thank you

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, 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. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. 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.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
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. (Well, the Installer actually uses superuser Permissions to do it's work, but after reboot it doesn't guarantee communication with other existing needed files Permissions.)
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 a relatively painless 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 and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Certain drawing or annotation tools cause adobe to crash - what can I do to fix this?

When I try to use certain drawing or annotation tools Adobe crashes. Why? What can I do to fix this?

I think it is Adobe Reader XI and I have Windows 8. It has happened with a couple different PDF files. I have experienced the problem when trying to use the "draw a circle" tool as well as the "add text callout" - I have drawn some circles without a problem. Sometimes what happens is I try to draw the circle (or the other one), and nothing happens, it is as if the page doesn't realize I clicked or dragged the mouse. Then when I try clicking somewhere else in Adobe Reader it is frozen/"not responding" and I have to force close the program. When I open it again it tries to restore the changes that I had made since the last time I saved but it doesn't always recover it. I have not tried the repair option - what is that?

Help!!i lost my favorites ,which i usualy had on the top left on my screen,can find it,what can i do?

i lost my favorites since i downloaded firefox,not happy,what can i do or where els will it be?

I am guessing you previously used Internet Explorer. Note Firefox uses the term '''Bookmarks ''' rather than favourites/favorites.
It is easy to import Internet Explorer favourites into Firefox see:
