Need help connecting to my home Wireless Network

I need help connecting my LaserJer M1212nf MFP to my home wirless network. I would like to use Apple's AirPrint, and be able to print from my iPad.
I've spent a few hours following the directions I found on the manuals through hp.com and I've had no luck. I've already unistalled and reinstalled the printer. I've also updated the firmware. If anyone can provide assistance I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

This is NOT a wireless printer (see product spec: http://www.shopping.hp.com/shopping/pdf/ce841a.pdf), you can NOT add the printer to the wireless network. This printer do support LAN connection, so if your wireless router has LAN ports, you can added it to your home network by connecting a network cable from the printer to a LAN port on the router. You need then reinstall the printer as a network printer, to use airprint.

I need to connect my wireless printer (HP LaserJet CP1025nw color) to the internet. I recently have changed my name and password of my modem. Since the change I have lost connectivity between my computer and my printer. What do I need to do to regain connectivity? I am using Windows 7.

I think you mean your password on your router right? Changed your SSID and/or password?

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926

In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

I need help connecting my iPhone to computer

Howdy sprinklemk,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the iPhone User Guide, it answers your question about how to connect your iPhone to your computer and provides additional information that you may find helpful.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
You may need to connect iPhone to your computer in order to complete activation. Connecting iPhone to your computer also lets you sync photos and other content to iPhone from your computer, using iTunes. See Sync with iTunes on page 18.
To use iPhone with your computer, you need:
An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended)
A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, and one of the following operating systems:
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
Connect iPhone to your computer. Use the Lightning to USB Cable (iPhone 5 or later) or 30-pin the other device.
Cheers,

Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c

Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c. I need assistance on connecting these together so I can run a report. I am not an IT person so if someone could dumb it down it would be great.
Thanks,
NBGHealth

Hello,
I assume GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c is some sort of database or data source? If you have an ODBC driver then create or use a System DSN to the database. Then you can create a report using that DSN.
Otherwise I suggest you contact the makers of GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c and ask them how to connect to the database.
Let them know CR is ANSII 92 ODBC 3 compliant.
Thank you
Don

Need help connecting to internet with wireless card

I am currently able to connect 4 Mac laptops and 1 G5 desktop to my Airport Extreme without any problems. I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 with a Dell Truemobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI card that recognizes my AE and connects to it, but I can't get it to connect to the internet. I've tried using the internet connection setup wizard for an isp with username and password but it wants to configure a dialup connection. I've tried just double-clicking on my Internet Explorer icon but it won't connect. I know I've overlooked something(s) but I would like to know if there a procedure that someone can walk me through to get connected. I've also tried using a Belkin USB wireless adapter which also recognizes the Airport, but I still can't get connected. Any help would be greatley appreciated. Steve

What "bands" does a Truemobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI card support? 802.11a/b or 802.11b/g ?
Start Menu -> Run -> cmd -> ipconfig
Are you getting a valid IP address for your private LAN ?

Need help connecting wireless router to wired router

Our computers (1 desktop, 1 laptop,and our Xbox) are presently connected to a Dynex DX-E401 4-Port/Cable/DSL Router. We would like to keep this arrangement for the XBox & desktop for gaming purposes (general consensus seems to be a wired connection is faster than wireless). However, I would like to add a Linksys WRT54GL Ver 1.1 wireless router for another laptop to roam around the house. Can I just connect the Linksys wireless router into the Dynex wired router, or does everything now have to go through the wireless router first? To connect the wireless router, do I run the setup CD in the laptop that I want to primarily use the wireless router? I'm not the most savvy when it comes to this stuff, but can follow detailed directions. If there are any links/videos, etc. you can refer to me to that already addresses this issue, that would be great. I greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.

You don't run the setup disk at all. Actually, you don't want a router you only want a wireless access point.
Wire a computer to the WRT. Open the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/ (default password is "admin").
On the main setup page, change the LAN IP address from 192.168.1.1 to a free IP address in your DSL router LAN. If the DSL router uses 192.168.1.1 as well, you may be able to set it to 192.168.1.2 unless the DHCP server on the DSL router uses 192.168.1.2.
On the same configuration page of the WRT disable the DHCP server.
Save settings.
Unplug the computer.
Wire one of the numbered LAN ports of the WRT to your DSL router.
That's it. Now you are able to do any further configuration through the web interface of the WRT at http://192.168.1.2/ (or whatever IP address you have set).
Don't forget to enable wireless security WPA2 Personal with AES and a strong passphrase and change the router password "admin" on the Administration/Management page.

MacBook - Newbie: Need help on printing wirelessly to XP shared printer

MacBook - Newbie: Need help on printing to XP shared printer
Bear with me please. I read tons of articles on this but somehow as a newbie to MAC (girlfriends sick daughter), I am missing something. 10.5.2
Currently, she can print directly if we plug in the HP Deskjet printer directly via USB to the MACBook. No problem.
When we first got the MACBOOK I tried setting up the MACBOOK wirelessly to recognize the workgroup where the printer was attached via USB to the Windows XP PC. However it printed out garbage since I did not know there was a difference between XP printing and MAC (Gutenberg/gimp printing/drivers).
Now I know there is a difference.
But in reading various instructions, I no longer can find how to connect the MAC to the Windows workgroup. Note we do have a printer set up currently as USB-HP Deskjet on the Macbook (not sure I need to delete it yet).
I went to System Preferences on MACBOOK and clicked on printers, more printers. In the drop down box was CANON, APPLETALK, IP HP printing and Firewire. There was no WINDOWS selection as I saw in other online web instructions.
So not sure how to proceed to find a way to:
1. Connect to Windows workgroup (click on what exactly), step by step please!!
2. Add correct HP Deskjet 5490 printer (perhaps there is one with Gutenberg or perhaps I need Gutenprint-really not sure what I am talking about)
Thanks so much in advance. Fiancé's kid has had her cancer recur in a different place and someone was nice enough to buy her a MACBOOK as a gift.
Sincerely
Peter

OK...I figured it out...no need to reply. I noticed that there was another Protocol to use to set up the printer on the Mac, I was using LPD, so I switched it to HP Jet Direct-socket, and it prints fine...thanks. I am curious as to why LPD wouldn't work; if anyone has that answer I would like to know...thanks
Any chance of posting the Protocol you used to connect to your printer with your laptop? I'm have the exact same problem printing from my MB. Same error message "..is busy".

I need help,,upgraded to ipad2, laptop had to be restored b4 I backed up iPad or saved iTunes library. How do I back up and sync my ipad2 without losing content on my iPad.

I need help,,upgraded to ipad2, my HP laptop had major issues and had to be restored b4 I could back up and save any content on the hard disc. So i havent backed up my iPad2 or saved my iTunes library.
How do I back up and sync my ipad2 without losing content on my iPad.???
I need really simple instructions as I've had a bad run with my laptop the last month.
I have re-installed iTunes,it currently has no content in it
all my music, photos etc had been saved to a an external Hardrive (phew)so I'm not concerned about losing them during a sync, but how do I sync my Ipad without losing the applications... The last back up saved was in June when I still had an ipad1
I tried to back it up last night but kept getting the prompts something to the effect of "iPad can only be synced to 1 iTunes library, syncing will erase all content and replace with content on this iTunes library".
Help please,, I've already lost endless hours fixing my PC issues,so I'm not game to attempt this issue without guarantee I won't lose everything,need a simple solution that anyone can follow as my brain has information overload!!! Lol
Thanks

This should help you out. I copied this from another discussion a while back. Here is the original discussion link.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
This is what is in the discussion. It really doesn't get any easier than this.
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

I have two Buildings i need to connect via wireless

I have one Building with The Main Internet Connection. It has 1- wireless-G access point (wap54g v3) and 1-wireless-B ethernet bridge (wet11 v2)
The other Structure i cant run wire cause of a water hazzard between the buildings. Building two has 1- Wireless-N Broadband Router(wrt300n)
With These 3 Products what can i do using what i have to connect, connect building 1 to building 2 via wireless? Or am i in need of another wireless router of sorts?
help and documentation would help. I just was dropped into this and had a day or two to fingure a solution out.
Thank you

The Computers which are connected to WRT300N on Building Two are they able to go online throught the Router? Then i would suggest you to get an Ethernet Bridge, As your ethernet bridge is older B series and it wont communicate with your Router properly, Either you can Get a G Series or N Series Ethernet Bridge ( WET54G , WET600N).
On Building 1 you need to input the wireless settings as you have set on your WRT300N Router. Once you configure all the settings on your Bridge, then you can connect the Bridge to an switch and then connect your Access Point to the Swtich and configure all the settings on your WAP54G. And this will let all your computers go online Wirelessly and Wired as well.

I need help choosing a wireless router (Networking Noob)

Okay, I am very new to wireless networking.
I basically want to replace my current wired DSL modem with a wireless modem/router that I can still wire my main PC up to via Ethernet, and route a wireless connection to a laptop, and possibly some other devices (possibly a Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, TV, and other similar devices).
I have been trying to find out if the E-Series from Cisco actually act as a modem as well as a router but can't seem to find the information.
I do wish to have recent technology, but don't want to pay a fortune, so if there is a list of Linksys modem router combos you can give me then I can go research them further.
If there is anything else you think I might need to consider, I'm all ears
Thanks so much. Hopefully I won't be a newbie for much longer on this subject.

The E series routers are ethernet routers. They don't have modems integrated.
The Linksys devices with integrated modem are the WAG models, e.g. the WAG320N.
However, I would rather recommend a ethernet router and a standalone DSL modem. DSL technologies evolves pretty quickly and it's possible that the modem you buy today won't handle the internet speeds in two years.
In addition, except for the latest WAG models (which can be configured as ethernet router on the first LAN port, i.e. "loosing" one of the four ethernet port) the DSL routers are generally only for use with DSL. If you decide anytime soon to switch to cable or satellite or FTTH you will need a new modem again.
On the other hand, an ethernet router may be good for longer depending on your requirement. It works with any kind of access technology DSL, cable, etc. as long as you have a modem.
Thus, my general advice is to get a standalone cheap modem and a separate ethernet router. Ask you ISP for the modem. Often, ISPs offer a simple modem for free or you get one "rented" for free. This way you have the guarantee that the modem works fine with their network.
You also have a much greater variety of wireless routers to choose from.
