My mac air won't work with my epson PX730WD printer

I'm using a fairly new Mac Air 2 running OS X version 10.9.5, with an Epson PX730WD printer that has worked fine for the last 5 years with my previous Windows laptop. But since changing to Apple the printer seems to be forever disconnecting from my home BT wifi router.  It wouldn't have occurred to me that the problem might be the Mac, except I saw many posts on this site with the same problem, but related to different Mac operating systems.
I have re-started the Mac, re-started the printer, to no avail.
Any help really appreciated, thanks

How do you know it really turn on?
Do you have a monitor/adopter so you can try the mini-display port/Thunderbolt port?
Maybe the power problem damaged the Mini itself or the HDMI port.

  • New Mac Pro Won't Work With Old Studio Display

    Hi,
    Just got a new Mac Pro Desktop 8-core only to find out my old Apple Studio Display 17" won't work without a $100 adapter. We're thinking of just buying a new monitor instead. My question is will other brands now work direclty with the new Macs - or would they also need adapters? Is a DVI port the same as a DVI-D port?
    Thanks for any info...

    Thanks so much for the response, Malcolm, I really appreciate it! My old monitor is an LCD, but what we decided to do is since the adapter we found (and HAD to get from Apple directly) was going to cost $99!! We went and bought a brand new Dell monitor instead for $238 - it's fully compatible with the new Mac, and it's 23" (my old one was a 17") - so all's good!
    Thanks again,
    Jacki

  • Quicken for Mac replacement - won't work with Lion

    Quicken has sent an announcement to users confirming that Quicken for Mac 2005-2007 will not work with Lion, and encourage these users to begin using Quicken Essentials.  Obviously this is not an option for many.  I'm going to try out iBank 4 as a full replacement for Quicken for Mac, although I understand online bill pay is not supported.
    Any other former Quicken for Mac users using iBank 4?  Would love to hear your thoughts about it.

    Just to add to the thread..
    As Quicken will not be supporting the Mac Lion Update, I will require a replacement financial/banking software package for Quicken 2007.
    I tried Quicken Essentials but it does not do what I need.
    I am looking for the following features:
    Check Printing
    Memorized Transactions (QuickFill in Quicken)
    Custom Reports
    Memorized Reports
    Scheduled Transactions
    I do not need investment/budget/online banking features.
    Sure would appreciate some advice!
    Many thanks!

  • My MacBook Pro (2011, Snow Leopard 10.6.7) won't work with an EPSON projector.

    I have the mini display to VGA adaptor. Any advice?

    I have this same problem. Firefox 4 on 10.6.7 on a 2009 unibody Macbook Pro.
    I've noticed that I only have the problem when I'm using multiple monitors and my Firefox 4 window is to the left of the Mac OS X Menu Bar.
    My typical arrangement is: laptop monitor with firefox 4 window TO THE LEFT OF external Dell 24 inch monitor with Mac OS X Menu bar.
    Moving my Firefox 4 window to the external monitor allows me to open a window.

  • I want to turn my macbook air off. the shut down button already appeared but the mouse/cursor just hang and won't work. even after pressing the enter button to shut my mac off won't work. what will i do?

    i want to turn my macbook air off. the shut down button already appeared but the mouse/cursor just hang and won't work. even after pressing the enter button to shut my mac off won't work. what will i do?

    This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
    My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
    The mouse moves, but does not work.
    The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
    I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
    Firefox 18.4%
    Activity Monitor 0.9%
    Firefox Plugin 0.2%
    This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

  • Please help!  Ipod won't work with my itunes after plugged into MAC

    Hi, I am brand new to my ipod and i plugged it into my PC to get it started, then i plugged it into a friends mac to get his songs- now when i plug it back into my computer it says it is linked to another itunes library and asks if i want to link it back to this one and replace all of the music. I do not want to loose all of the music but want it reconnected to my itunes with the music on my computer and taking the music on the ipod (from my friends itunes) into my itunes. What do i do? I apologize if this is something posted before,i couldn't find an answer. Please help!! thanks

    That above article will not resolve the issue. It explaines it clearly in the article.
    "Using an iPod formatted for Macintosh on a Windows computer is not supported. Using an iPod formatted for Windows on a Macintosh computer is not supported."
    this means that it won't work with out a 3rd party tool. You HAVE to restore it if you take it between different OS. That document works only if your taking it between windows machines or all mac machines.

    Mirroring is done over the local network so internet speed isn't relevant.
    I would check istumbler.net to see if there is any interference

    It's good for that . . . 
    But also I don't keep all my stuff in my Mac.
    But not for that. 
    This older and not day-by-day usage files I want to store in the time machine.
    You can do that (see below), but how are you going to back them up?   If your only copies are on the TC, when (not if) it fails, you risk losing your only copy of the data.
    Is it possible to split TC in two partitions.
    No, but there are some workarounds, including making a fixed-size disk image on it to "reserve" some space.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule.
    But you still won't have backups of the stuff you put there.
    You don't say what kind of Mac you have.  If it's a desktop model, just keep the external HD connected to it, and let Time Machine back it up along with your internal HD.
    However, it sounds like you may have a laptop, where that's not going to be convenient.  In that case, your best bet might be to copy the external HD to a disk image on the TC as above, then keep the HD in a safe place.
    To finish, when i enter the TC and go through the Time line how can I get a file from there and move it back to Mac hd.
    Via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    You might also want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse the rest of the FAQ.

  • My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter.

    My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter. I also tried the HDMI to DVI adapter ane the Mac-Mini with same result. The monitor does work on my older Macbook Pro that has the DVI connector. Is it a Software/Driver issue ?

    Should be extremely simple, please carefully read Connect multiple displays to your Mac. If you still have problems then it's probably a cable issue that would be resolved by replacing the adapter cable. You should be using this adapter. If you are using a third party adapter that might be your problem!

  • New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

    New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

    No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
    A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
    You can get 10.6.8 here:

  • Mac Mini won't boot with install disk

    tried booting with install disc in and pushing "c" on keyboard and doesn't work. Using a apple wireless keyboard. Also used the keyboard that came with Mac Pro but didn't work nor did a wired logitech.
    any ideas?
    Thanks!

    +What is the source of the idea that the mac aluminum keyboard won't work with the mini?+
    Dozens of reports in this forum over the past year.
    Keep in mind that by "not working" what was meant was that the startup keys wouldn't work. The Alu keyboard otherwise works fine with the Mini.
    It has also been reported that the Alu Keyboard does work for startup keys if it is plugged into a hub with an external power supply.

  • I have just brought a new ipod and it won't work with my old imac as it is running pre 10.5 software. I can't upgrade the software, so what should I do?

    There is nothing to do, unless you buy a new computer.
    Mac OS 10.5.8 or later is required.
