My Mac won't allow wireless connection to Apple TV or my printer

Not sure what has happened, but I first thought that I had an issue with iTunes as it wouldn't wirlessly connect with any of my Apple devices - iPhone, iPad or Apple TV.
Now, my wireless printer won't connect with my iMac but does with my phone and iPad so now thinking the issue is with my iMac.
Any thoughts/ideas on how to fix?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Brand new Mac, had to erase drive through disk utility as time machine back up failed. Now disk utility only has the option to install Mountain Lion which my Mac won't allow. Anyone any ideas as my Mac won't load anything up but disc utility!

Brand new Mac, had to erase drive through disk utility as time machine back up failed on initial setup, USB cable popped out Now can only access disk utility as won't load to log in screen. The only has the option in disc utility is to re-install Mountain Lion which my Mac won't allow or loading another time machine back up but after an hour of it processing, that didn't resolve the issue either! The time machine back up is the latest back up of my Mac Book Pro which was using OS X Maverix. I'm guessing I'm going to have to take my Mac to the store but that would be a hassle so does anyone have any ideas?

Follow this guide using another Mac.
Insert your newly created Mavericks USB into you Mac, press the power button and then hold down 'option,' until it gives you an option to boot from the USB. You will then be able to erase the internal disk with Disk Utility and reinstall Mavericks straight after.
After that you should be able to use Migration Assistant to restore your applications and user data.

Can you use Iphone hotspot to wirelessly connect to apple TV

Can you use Iphone hotspot to wirelessly connect to apple TV. ie I have no router but am interested in playing music from phone to apple TV.

Yes in theory, though do check your phone contract small print and keep an eye on your data usage - in theory local data sent across the LAN created by the hotspot should not use 3G data but some carriers seem to treat it as internet data usage.

Hi cybertoof,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing a startup issue with your Mac, it's booting to a gray screen with an Apple logo. Try the suggestions in the article linked below, they will resolve most issues related to starting up your Mac.

Cisco 1811W stopped allowing wireless connection of domain laptops

I have a Cisco 1811W that after several years in service suddenly stopped allowing any wireless connection to laptops on the domain. It allows hard wired connections and devices that are just using the wireless hot spot like iPads and Iphones but not devices on the domain. These same laptops connect wirelessly without issue at our other facilities which use the same hardware.

It was a two fold problem. There is another stronger Wi-Fi signal that exists at the facility from another entity on a different domain that the two laptops were trying to associate to in lieu of the network signal from our 1811. This could only be seen while watching the Intel wireless Proset app NOT the Windows wireless management app. Then by deleting all other old Wi-Fi networks listed in the Intel Proset app except ours it connected. Also set devices to never connect to the other signal. This was not an issue when I brought the laptop to another faciIity without a competing Wi-Fi signal becuase they would connect using the strongest and ONLY Wi-Fi network signal which was ours.

WRVS4400N does not allow wireless connections

I've had the WRVS4400N for about six months. Three times in the past two months I have had to factory reset the device and reconfigure it because it would not allow any wireless connections. Perhaps unfortunately I applied the latest firmware update about a month before these problems began. Is there any work-around or setting change that I can make to avoid this problem? When wireless connections are impossible the device is still reachable via the ethernet connection.

If only the wireless is dorpping on the unit then, most probably a firmware concern. Try reflashing the firmware again if that helps. Also try to change some of the advance wireless settingso nthe router, set the RTS and fragmentation to thresholds to 2306 as well as teh beacon interval to 50.

My 7410xi printer won't maintain wireless connection

My printer won't maintain a wireless connection. I have checked the support site and have assigned a static ip address, but more often than not, I get a "printer offline" message when I try to print. Other computers are also unable to print. I have to unplug the printer and restart it in order to get my documents to print. The next time I try to print something, same issue. I thought assigning a static ip address would solve the issue, but no such luck. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try this:
1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
3. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo

Mac won't allow me to save anything to external HD.

I have an early 2011 MacBooc Pro and I have a brand new never used 500GB HP portable Hard drive, whenever I attempt to save anything or transfer anything from the HD it will not allow me?
Something about permissions...
I know its vague I'm completely idiotic when it comes to computers.
Any help would be appreciated.

maybe it's because your Hard drive format. is it NTFS? If it is in NTFS format, then your macbook pro won't allow you to write data on your HDD, it's only allow you to copy data from your HDD into your macbook pro's drive.
I suggest that you buy software Paragon NTFS for your mac, or you can simply re-format your HDD into exFAT, because mac osx is now fully support exFAT format. To do this, you can simply format it using windows based PC or using Disk utility in your macbook. hope it helps!

How can I install a driver for HP Laserjet P3005. My mac won't allow installation?

My macbook won't allow em to install the driver for HP Laserjetp3005. Any ideas?

Apple suppies all the drivers for all the printers that work with any specific os x version. Just go to the Print & scan section of system preferences and Add Printer (Plus ( + ) Sign) and if it is supported the driver will be there.

WRT110 Won't Let Wireless Connections Through To internet

I have a WRT110 that let's a wired connection through to the internet but none of the wireless connections. I'm connect to a new Motorola DSL modem provided by AT&T. (Lightening killed the last one)
My wireless stuff can talk to each other but can't access the internet.
I just installed the latest firmware. Nothing doin'.
Ideas? Some setting somewhere?

Reset the router open the set up page of the router .
reconfigure the router as you mention you have DSL Connection .
Just follow This Link to configure your router.
Then Reconfigure the wireless settings with new network name and the password
After that unplug the power from the modem and the router
See if that helps.

Unable to set wireless connection with imac and Canon MX860 printer ...

I recently converted to a Mac and bought a Mac Book, iMac, Airport Extreme, and a Canon MX860 printer. i have installed the canon software numerous times on my iMac to set up the wireless connection. yes, the airport extreme recognizes the printer and i am able to connect to my private and guest networks. the signal strength is good. It's the next part that I'm always stuck at. The Printer settings does not display when i choose More Printers and select Canon IJ Network. I called Apple support and we tried changing my network settings to an unsecured network and it still has the same issue. It was recommended this may be Canon driver issue and advised me to contact Canon. I reset the Airport, changed my network name and password .. i think i tried everything and it still does not work. What was I thinking when i said i wanted to convert to Mac? I can't move forward and connect my macbook or pc yet until I successfully connect the imac. Yes, i installed the latest canon IJ Network tool. of course the USB connection is fine but that defeats the whole purpose if why i bought this printer. please advise how to fix. this is getting very frustrating.

Some help at http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV352LL/A perhaps in the comments.
And maybe at http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PIXMA-MX860-Wireless-Printer/product-reviews/B001R4C 5BK in the comments.
"I ran into the same network installation issue that I've seen in other Canon printers. Canon's network setup forces you to connect by USB cable first. Only after you tell the program that you want to use the computer over the network can you remove the USB cable, move the printer if needed, and if you're using a wired connection, reconnect a network cable. The process isn't particularly difficult, but it's more cumbersome than what other printers let you do, which is simply put the printer where you want it, plug in an Ethernet cable, and install the software." source = http://shop.pcmag.com/shop/product/pcmag/84634068.aspx?SB=6&OB=1
"MAC wireless network printer setup requires turning off firewall, and works fine if you leave firewall off (not recommended). If you set firewall at "essential connections only," wireless networked MX860 won't work. You must add MP navigator and solution apps to your firewall enabled list. Then it worked fine on the admin account, but still won't work on users account which required additional permission settings and selections. After 2 hours it worked fine, but I would've expected better instruction manual for MAC." source = http://cnet.nytimes.com/multifunction-devices/canon-pixma-mx860/4852-3181_7-3352 9769.html
"The only trouble that I have had with this machine is setting up the wireless network. The manual instructions are impossible for me to understand and I ended up having to call for assistance. Which easily solved the problem. And again when I had to reconfigure my network settings it was impossible to follow the logarithm of instructions in the manual. Again I needed to call for assistance. If I need help after the year manufacture's warranty I will be charged for these calls." source = http://www.zimbio.com/InkjetPrinter+Reviews/articles/1932/Canon+PIXMA+MX860+Wireless+One+PhotoPrinter

"I'm with you. I have my mx860 connected usb to my pc with the printer being shared but my wireless laptop can't find it no matter what I try."
And, unhappy Vista person:
"I had high hopes for this printer - it seemed to have it all. But the wireless feature never worked, it only worked on my gigabit network for about two weeks (only THREE print jobs including the test print), and never observed it to work via USB - Vista (x64 Ultimate) would throw an error saying it could not attach the device."

Trying to wirelessly connect Macbook pro to Canon MX340 printer

I am really not computer-minded at all, which is why I love my Mac. It just does it for me. Back in November, somehow I wirelessly connected my Macbook pro to our Canon MX 340 printer. We have moved and now I can't get it to work. When I go into printer settings on my macbook pro, it lists the printer, but says it is "offline." The printer is currently hardwired to my husband's HP desktop. The only troubleshooting skill I have is to turn off the printer and turn it back on, and hope somehow that makes it work. I have no idea what to do. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Wireless connection lost between my router and printer (hp officejet 4620)

My hp officejet 4620 printer has been working fine but now the wireless connection has been lost and I can't get the wireless connection back. The blue light for the wifi flashes blue. I can't get the connection back between the router and the printer because my wifi is actually working fine with my laptop. Any suggestions about what i can do to get the connection back so I can print again?
Is it something I need to do on the printer screen or laptop to fix the problem?

Have you powered off everything and power up again? Power off printer and router. Power on router and wait 2 mins. Power up printer and see if it connects to your SSID.

Dropping wireless connection with Apple Wireless Keyboard

I've got a new bluetooth chip in my iMac from support at my location, a new wireless keyboard and I'm still having issues. Wireless connection dropped 6 times typing this one sentence. Aaargh. I've been busy with this ever since I bought the computer. On irregular intervals (absolutely no regularity whatsoever) the computer loses connection with my Apple Wireless Keyboard. So if I have a new iMac, with a new bluetooth chip and a new keyboard how come this issue is still an issue? It's driving me mad. And possibly the guys at the centre as well.

Hi mvoltage
Do you have any appliances with motors or other mobil telephone devices setup near the iMac?
Both motor flux fields and Cordless Phone Base Stations can and will interfere with the operation of the iMac's wifi and airport signals.

HP CM1415fnw and Mac 10.9.2 wireless connection

I have a HP CM1415fnw and a Mac running 10.9.2. I am on only one network. It was working great then with an upgrade somewhere along the line it stop seeing the printer from the mac. I also have a Win 7 Pc and it sees it fine.
I run the HP for Mac setup software with a USB connected and it will not see the wireless. Everthing says the wireless is working correct.
What should I do?

Hi ChrisG01,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having issues with the Mac recognizes the printer on the wireless network. The Windows 7 computer is working fine with the printer over the wireless network.
I will be happy to help you.
Make sure the Mac is connected to the proper network name.
Click on the Airport icon across the top to see which one is selected.
Verify and Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer.
Reset Printing System
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.Click OK to reset the printing system. Then click the + sign, then select the printer from the list, click on the Add button. Make sure beside use: shows the printer name and not the Airprint driver.
If the printer still isn't recognized by the Mac, I would power cycle the printer, Mac and the router.
Try adding the printer again.
If no luck, then you could try manually adding the IP address in.
You can add the printer as a IP Protocal to see if it will work.
Go to the Apple, system preferences, print and scan, (some systems print and fax) click + button, then select the IP icon across the top, type in the printer's IP address, select jet direct below and then Apply.
(usually this would indicate a network issue if this is the only method to get the Mac to see the printer)
Test the printer.
Please let me know if you require any additional assistance.
What was the update for?
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a great day.
