My ipad can not see my wifi printer

my ipad can not see my wifi printer ????????

Is it an AirPrint enabled printer ? The supported models are listed on this page, and there is also a bit of troubleshooting at the bottom : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
If it's not an AirPrint model, then some manufacturers have their own apps in the iTunes app store, and there are also third-party apps such as Print Central For iPad and Print n Share which might work with it.

My new MBP can't see my Time capsule

Hi
Thanks for any help with this :
I use my capsule about once every 2 weeks to back up the MBP.
Have a new MBP and wanted to back it up for the first time. The MBP is running 10.7.2.
It could see the Time Capsule originally but said it needed a firmware update as its an original 1TB capsiule:
I don't have the capsule connected to the internet directly because I just don't like the idea of that.
When you'd disconnect the MBP from the internet WiFi, to connect to the Capsule, the capsule would say it needed an update - HOWEVER when you'd connect back to the WiFi network then airport utility didn't see a capsule to see a need for the firmware update:
My questions are:
1) can you download the firmware manually.
2) can the USB slot be used for connecting to the computer ??? It seem not to be possible as nothing comes up on the computer when the two are connected
I tried other strategies like setting up the Capsule on the house WiFi - now the MBP can't see the Capsule at all at all, ----green light on, soft resets done, USB in the back.
The only thing I havn't tried yet is to get an Ethernet cable - years since I had one and lost. Guess I'll have to go out and get one
Thanks
Tom

partial solution - hold the reset button down for longer than one sec, held it down for 5-6 sec and this reset the connection info to default so the computer could see it again.
Getting the firmware onto it remained a larger problem.

MBP can't see computers on network

*Network:*
1 PC Vista Ultimate
2 PC XP Pro
1 Netbook XP home
1 Mac Book Pro w/ Leopard 10.5.6 OS
Linksys Wireless router and using Airport. WPA security setup with passcode and all is well for logging into router and being assigned dynamic IP address.
This network has been in operation over 3 years with all the PCs and hardware in windows file sharing environment.
*Problem:*
Vista and XP can see the Mac in the network
MBP can't see other PC's in Network panel
SMB file sharing is on
Workgroup is set and Ok 'HOME NETWORK' on all PCs & MBP
I can Ping the Vista and XP pc's IP address
But I can't see the shared PC's, printers, or PC file shares on Mac Book
I am newby on Apple networks and the Mac OS is familar to me yet.
Anybody have a clue as to what I missed in setup.

Well you network is unique because of the different software firewalls on the different flavors of Windows. So first read "Well known" TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products, Sharing files between a Windows Vista Home Edition PC and a Mac running OS X Leopard 10.5 and the Apple discussion thread Explanation of Leopard NetBIOS (Windows Sharing) Wackyness With Solutions!. Then see if anything in these links help.
Now if this is a Windows domain (it has to be 2003 or better) then look at the article Connecting a Macintosh running Leopard (10.5) to SBS 2003. Plus for you printing problem read the older web pages (for 10.4.x but it ill may help) Printing to a printer on a Windows XP PC from a Mac running 10.4.x and How to Use a Printer Attached to a Windows XP Computer in Mac OS X and Adding a printer shared by a Windows computer via SMB/CIFS.
Lastly did you know about the web site MacWindows.com? Also a lot of people have been having problems with Linksys routers and OS X. IMHO other routers don't seem to have this problem. I sure hope one of these links help, Good Luck.

I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

Hi Crushed,
Numbers doesn't have pages. It has a canvas that holds objects such as tables and charts.
Drag the objects from the bottom of the canvas onto the white space above. That will reduce the number of "pages" (sheets of paper) that will print.

Airport Extreme green light but can't see the wifi network

Hello, coming back from the holidays I can't see my Wifi network anymore (From PS3, Phone, Computers ..etc.). My airport has a greenlight and the internet is working fine if my computer is connected with an Ethernet cable. I re-did the configuration many times and I did a hard reset of both my modem and the airport. It is not setted to a hidden connection. All the settings are basic like before. The only difference is that I did the update to 7.6.4.

I think you were right, my airport was broken and I noticed that at the end of the configuration process where there's a green checkmark it was written in the bottom that a wifi device wasn't working properly. Nothing could be done to make it work though.
I bought a new Airport Express now but I still have a major problem. I was able to configure it through wifi with my iMac without any problem and now it is connected to the internet via wifi perfectly but i STILL can't see the network with either my Android phone or my PS3 console !?
- Brand new airport express
- configured to "create a wifi network" with a WPA2 password using the simple steps of the airport utility
- Airport Utility 5.6.1
I did reset the airport express a few times with the utility and by removing the power cord. I also did reset my iMac and I can still connect to the wifi just fine with it.

My iphone can't see any wifi networks

my iphone can't see any wifi networks ... i tried to reset network setting and reset all setting and update the ios system but no way

I, too, fear it might be a hardware problem . I removed all security from my router but still no networks appear in the list nor can I connect directly by typing in the SSID. Tried two routers: Apple Airport Extreme and a Linksys something-er-other provided by Bell.
I will give HP a call tomorrow and see if they can sort this out.
Thank you for your help/advice!
Edit: almost certain it's a hardware problem: I clicked on the Help button while on that "Scanning for networks" dialog during initial setup and as one of the "helpful" suggestions, it said my Mac address was 00:00:00:etc.

I can't find a wifi printer on my imac

Hello,
I can't find a wifi printer on my imac. It's always linked automatically to wifi printers before. It's an HP deskjet, I've tried downloading drivers for it, but still no joy. Any ideas what I should do? Thanks,

In future posts, please tell us more of the details - which printer, which Mac, which OS X version, etc. Have you changed anything lately?
First thing I would try is Reset Printing System (and after, try adding the printer again):
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system - Apple Support
Read here about which printers are supported, and how we Normally get drivers now (Not by downloading directly from Manufacturer):
OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download - Apple Support

Can iPad 2 3G wifi print to canon pixma ip 100

Can iPad 2 3G wifi print to canon pixma ip 100

Khaled-
The iPad only prints by WiFi, so your 3G is not involved. There must be a WiFi path between the iPad and the printer.
I do not believe your Canon printer is compatible with AirPrint, so you will need an alternative way to print. Look in the iTunes store for Canon Apps that can print to your printer. There are other Apps such as Print n Share that should work for you.
Another way is to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi. Printopia is a Macintosh program that can do this. For a free alternative, search the web for AirPrint Activator. Versions are available for both Mac and Windows.

MacBook Pro can't see MY wifi connection

Hi all, Ok this has been bugging me for some time now, I've had a Macbook for around a year now and have notice that with some wifi routers my macbook can't see them until I reboot the router I'm trying to find. This can be most annoying and is beginning to become a problem, my iphone and ipad can see the wifi router but my Macbook can't unless I reboot the router and then I mostly get a connection (although this is getting worse as i have to reboot the router more often) but if I leave the connection i.e turn off the MB or leave the house on returning I have to reboot the router to get connected again. I have made a few enquires in web search engines but haven't found anything of much help and the problem is still here. At first I thought it could be my router but this has happened on a few routers of friends that I have tried to connect to, although i can see lots of other connections so it shows that the MB can find routers but not all. Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone know a way to fix this?
Cheers

Hi guys,
I personally figured it out on why this problem occur, well let me just hit to the point.
What happens is that the router of the wifi channel is being changed automatically or someone might accidentally changed it. MBP can't detect wifi from certain wireless channel. So, we have to change the channel of the router wifi channel that may be detectable by your MBP.
THE SOLUTION -
1. Connect to the wifi from a active device to the router wifi that your MB can't detect or use Ethernet cable to get connected.
2.Once connected, access to the router wifi menu by entering the ip address on your net browser, eg:192.168.2.1
3.Then go to wifi setup or menu, and you may come across the wireless channel.
4.Switch the channel from any numeric to numeric that the router wifi can make your MB detect it.
eg: Wireless Channel - 6 (change it to -->) Wireless Channel - 11
5.Save the settings for the router wifi, exit, restart your MB and HAVE FUN!

Mbp can't see my airport !

I've been using my mbp with AExtreme n for 6 months without any problems. Since 2 weeks, sometimes when I boot my mbp, it can't see the airport. I haven't changed or moved anything ! Strangely, my mbp can see other wifi networks and my colleagues have no problem seeing my airport. I have to reboot my computer at least 5 times so that it sees the airport again.
Any ideas why ?

Try the following:
1. Delete Preferred Network(s)
- System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
- In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
- Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
2. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
- Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
- Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
- Restart, or log out then back in.
3. Add Preferred Network(s)
- System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
- In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
- Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
- Restart or log out then back in.

Can't connect to wifi printer.

Since upgrading to BT Infinity I haven't been able to connect to my wifi printer (Epson Stylus SX535WD). The new home hub is up and running but I can't see how to connect to the printer. When I go to the printer's set-up mode and select 'Wifi Auto-Connect', I get the error message: 'No computer found. Check wifi/network device and condition. Try again.'
I tried deselecting the printer from the Mac's printer list, with the idea of adding it again, but now no printers appear at all when I press the + button. So first I need to add the printer once again and then find how to connect to it. I'm using OS X (10.8.5). Any ideas anyone?

Follow Apples instructions for installing a WI-FI printer in OS X Mountain Lion: Set up a printer to print wirelessly. If you have to first use the Reset Printing System feature.
