  • My mac air does not recognize my printer connected to a network

    Is usb to lightening the correct connection to see the printer

    Hello there, Appletreflie.
    The following Knowledge Base article should have some practical information for you to help setup your printer:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Set up a printer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11145
    Specifically:
    Add a network printer to your list of printers
    You can connect to printers on your local network that use Bonjour, IP, and Open Directory, as well as shared printers and printers connected to a Time Capsule or AirPort base station.
    Be sure to follow any instructions from your network administrator.
    If the printer isn’t connected to your network, follow the instructions that came with the printer to unpack it, install ink or toner, add paper, and connect it to your network.If you’re connecting a printer to a Time Capsule or AirPort base station’s USB port, see this help topic:Set up a printer connected to a Time Capsule or AirPort base station
    Choose Apple menu > Software Update to make sure OS X has the latest information about printer software it can download from Apple.Usually you shouldn’t install software that came with the printer on your Mac. OS X downloads the latest printer software automatically.
    Open a document to print, and then choose File > Print.
    Open the Printer pop-up menu and choose your printer in the Nearby Printers section of the menu.
    If you don’t see your printer, choose Add Printer from the Printer pop-up menu.A dialog appears listing any Bonjour, IP, shared, and Open Directory printers on your local network. It may take a minute or two for your printer to appear.If you’re asked for an administrator name and password
    Select your printer when it appears in the list, and then click Add.OS X automatically uses AirPrint if your printer supports it, or it selects printer software (also called a printer driver) and downloads it from Apple if necessary.
    If you don’t see your printer in the list, do one of the following:
    For an IP printer, click IP in the toolbar and enter the printer’s information. For more information, see this help topic:Set up an IP printer
    For a shared Windows printer, click Windows in the toolbar and enter the printer’s information. For more information, see this help topic:Connect to a printer shared by a Windows computer
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.

  • Mac Air does not recognize ISO file, Mac Pro does

    Hi All,
    My MacBook Air, i5, with OSX 10.9.4 and Bootcamp 5.1.2(484) does not recognize the Windows 7 ISO image, while my dad's Mac Book Pro, 10.1, i7 with OSX 10.9.4 and Bootcamp 5.1.2(484)...does recognize the Windows 7 ISO image...
    We tried two different Windows 7 ISO images
    When we start from a fresh boot , the 1st error is "Not a Windows 7 image", and when we retry we get "Not a 64 bit Windows 7 version.
    What are we doing wrong?

  • Yosemite does not recognize HP printer after upgrade.  I can print from my iPhone, but not my 13" Macbook Air (2013)Yosemite does not recognize HP printer after upgrade.  I can print from my iPhone, but not my 13" Macbook Air (2013)

    Yosemite does not recognize HP printer after upgrade.  I can print from my iPhone, but not my 13" Macbook Air (2013)
    Are others having the same problems?

    Try this. Worked for me.
    - turn off your router
    - turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
    - turn off all iDevices
    - do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
    - turn on your router first
    - ran the network set up wizard
    - give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
       Something which you don't have used before.
    - turn on your Mac's and add your printer
    - turn on your iDevices at least.
    Should work after these steps.
    It worked for me including all iDevices.
    iOS and Yosemite

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and check to see if they have released an updated driver for your particular model.

  • My iPad does not recognize my printer (HP officejet 5510 All-in-One). What can I do?

    My iPad does not recognize my printer (HP officejet 5510 All-in-One). What can I do?

    The Photosmart 5510 is AirPrint capable.  You can find that information linked below.  There may be something in the network that is preventing communication.  To use AirPrint your router needs to support Bonjour services.  Run the download below.  It will let you test Bonjour services from your Windows PC.  If this app can't see the printer either, then the router's Bonjour services are off, or it does not support Bonjour.  Let me know what the app finds.  If it can't find the printer, let me know what brand and model router you have, and I'll see if it has Bonjour services at all.
    Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2

  • HT4199 My macbook pro and ipad does not recognize my printer on my wireless network, but my pc does. How can I get my apple products to see it on the network so I can print wirelessly?     My printer is a Brother MFC-J270W

    try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
    One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

  • Please, the battery of my mac air does not last more than two hours, it's been over 30 days I sent for technical assistance and nothing! I am very disappointed with the mac air, I had a very different expectation of apples products!!

    Maybe the problem is not your MB Air......
    Try these:
    Make sure bluetooth is turned off if you're not using it.
    Set your screen brightness to 4 bars.
    See what's loading in your login items.  Delete the ones you don't need.
    Open Activity Monitor - under All Processes see what's using most of your CPU's resources.
    Highlight the ones with the highest %CPU and hit quit process.
    Remember that when Apple says that your battery should last 7 hours, they tested it just browsing the web and not have anything open in the background and screen is set at 50% brightness.

  • Mac mini does not recognize external drive

    I have an 80GB external drive full of music files. I disconnected my computer to move to a new house and, with everything re-connected, the mini does not recognize the external drive. I wonder whether it is because the internal drive is nearly full. I have tried restarting the computer, disconnecting and re-connecting the USB cable to the external drive, serching for it with the disk utility, un-pluggin the external drive power cable and re-connecting it, but I'm out of ideas. What might have happened?
