Need some help setting up a windows wireless print

HI:
I am trying to print on a pc server. I go to print in the preferences, add a new printer, choose windows, then log in with my given username and password. Everything to this point works fine and the printer is fpound, recognized, and ready to print. But when I try to print to it, it just says on hold (authentication required).
Any advice or suggestions?

I am trying to add a windows printer too. Where exactly did you "login with your username and password" ?
Thanks

Help setting up router for wireless printer

I recently purchased a wireless printer - but haven't been able to connect to the router. Router is a Linksys wireless G 2.4ghz w/ SecureEasySetup (SES). When I activate the SES button on the router - it will connect with the printer - but the router then re sets itself, my SSID changes to the Linksys default and I loose internet connection.
How can I use SES without the router resetting?

I assume that your wireless printer does not have SES.
When you use SES, the router resets the wireless settings. SES is designed to be used when both devices (router and wireless adapter) both have the SES feature. If only one device has the SES feature, then you cannot use the SES button, and the non-SES device must be setup manually.
Login to your router at 192.168.1.1, and write down the following settings on a piece of paper:
SSID
encryption type (probably WPA)
encryption key (sometimes called Password or Passphrase)
Next, follow the installation procedure for your wireless printer. At some point in the install procedure, it will ask you for the above info.
If you need more help, please state the model and version of your router. Also, please state the make and model of your printer.

Need some help understanding VPNs on Windows 8.1

I set up an incoming VPN connection on a home PC - myVPNserver - running Win 8.1 Pro (by going to Network Connections/ALT File/New Incoming Connection). I enabled Port Forwarding on my NetGear Router to forward port 1723 to the
internal IP Address of myVPNserver. I then set up a Client VPN connection on my Surface also running Win 8.1 Pro (by going to Control Panel/Network & Internet/Network and Sharing Center/Set up a new Connection) and providing the new VPN Connection
with the external IP address of my NetGear Router.
I can tether my Surface to a shared internet connection my mobile phone and connect to myVPNserver. I can see the Incoming Connections on myVPNserver change from "No clients connected" to "1 client connected" and then I see
a new connection with my username, connected, and WAN Miniport (PPTP). So it appears that I have successfully created a VPN connection over the Internet.
However, I can't see and files on myVPNserver, I can't use Remote Desktop Connection via this VPN to myVPNserver, nor does this VPN connection have any connectivity to the internet or any other services on my LAN. I can
connect but that's all.
So what am I missing here? Do I need to set some other functions/services/settings on myVPNserver or on the client or on the router?
Totally baffled

Hi,
Regarding current situation, please try following suggestions:
First, if you install any third part security application with web protection or firewall, please disable or remove it.
Second, please configure a static IP address for your VPNserver.
Third, try to use Private network on your VPN server to see what’s going on.
Hope these could be helpful.

I need some help setting up a WiFi printer please

Firstly, apologies for the long post but I’m really struggling with this one.
I live in France and am trying to get wifi printing working on a friend’s Intel iMac (OSX Tiger 10.4.11) connected to a Lexmark X4875 printer. She’s connecting to the internet via Airport using a Livebox router, no problems. I’ve set up the printer to work wifi and that all 'appears' to be successful with the wifi light going to green as it should. I’ve also ‘associated’ the printer with the router by pressing the association button on the Livebox at the time of set-up and the printer is registered with the Livebox with correct MAC id.
So far everything looks like it should work until I go ‘Add Printer’ and the wifi printer is never seen (no problems if connected via USB). I’ve reset the printer erasing all print settings and starting again, done numerous restarts of all devices and still no go.
I should add that I have set up many wifi printers previously and even had this one working previously for over a year - it’s just that she had to get a new Livebox recently and now I can’t get it to work.
I realise that not everybody will be familiar with the Livebox although they are common anywhere Orange operates as an ISP but I’m hoping that someone will have some nugget of information that will help me get this sorted.
Thanks in advance for any advice, Paul.

Bump! Anyone?

Need some help setting up Starcraft 2

First off I have read the wiki, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Starcraft2 ,
My problem is that when I run
wine Installer.exe
I get the following error in a popup window :
"Sorry, the installer was unable to start up. You may be out of hard drive space."
I have 24.6GB of free space in /home.
Also I tried running the install with a new .wine folder in combination with
WINEPREFIX=/media/second_partition
Where I have around 100GB free space. And I still get the same error
Does anyone know what the problem could be ?
Please help if you can...

Seems this is a common issue also with WoW, but I couldn't get any clear solutions from my google searches other than is most likely has nothing to do w/ wine, because all the folks who run into this problem were using Windows e.g. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/2267602124

Hello fastuca. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Let's double-check your base stations' settings ...
o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
o Open AirPort Utility and select the Time Capsule (TC).
o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
o Next, select the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help

Greetings all -
We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help.
If, for example, I execute the query "select (all) from dba_objects", trace output reports 90% of the elapsed time spent under "SQLNet message from client".
Here are OS details for the clients: Solaris 10 5/08 s10s_u5wos_10 SPARC
Running "uname -a" from the client gives:
(SunOS bmc-ste-app 5.10 Generic_127127-11 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220)
Here are OS details for the dataserver: Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2
Running "uname -a" from the dataserver gives:
(2.6.18-92.1.6.0.2.el5 #1 SMP Thu Jun 26 17:44:55 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
The RDBMS is 10.2.0.4
Again, please note, there is no application in the picture here. We are just running a simple catalog query (select * from dba_objects) from sqlplus. Why the wait on something like this? The wait also occurs when a different query is used (select (all) from SYS.COL$ where rownum < 50000). And it doesn't matter if I used the full client or the instant client. I still get the same high-wait.
We had thought - maybe this is a network thing - so we put a test client on the same subnet as the dataserver. This helped - but not enough. The wait is still way too high even with firewalls taken out of the equation.
We've also looked at arraysize, SDU, kernel settings. And we've spent time going over tkprof, truss and sqlnet-tracing.
Has anyone ever had to solve this HIGH WAIT ON CLIENT issue? Is there a work around or some tweak I'm missing.
Is anyone configured like we are (linux dataserver, solaris clients)? If so - did you see anything like this?

Hello,
We have the exact same issue. Did you ever solve this issue? We have a t5220 and have just upgraded our 11.5.10.2 11i system on it from 9.2.0.8 32-bit sparc to 11.2.0.1 64-bit sparc. Things should be faster but arent, and our consultant has tracked it down to high wait times when the apps tier using forms connects to the database tier on the same box. So even though the t5220 is both server and client, there is something about the client sql connection.through TNS that his having trouble. Thanks for any information. We've also created an S/R with Oracle.
Note: I am well aware of the other issues with the CMT server series but this particular issue seems independent of the regular / known issues and remains a mystery to us. Other known issues with the CMT servers for SPARC:

Stupidly partition hdd on window7 in IMAC A1311, and now I can not use the IMAC...... Need some help

Just bought a used IMAC A1311 core 2 duo, and there are something called Bootcamp and Window7 on it, and i log in to Window7 and stupidly partition hdd on it, and i think it has formatted everything. now the window7 is error and I do hold (alt) key when I start up the machines , it show only the window7 hdd and i don't see any Recoery HDD........what should i do? Really need some helps right now.........

There are several models that use A1311. So I don't know exactly what model you have. If you received installer discs with the computer, then you will need to boot from Disc 1, erase the drive, and install Snow Leopard. Some models in the A1311 line can use Internet Recovery:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

Hi Martin
Welcome to the forum. Give everyone here some more info about your set up otherwise it may be difficult to figure out what is wrong.
Which mac?
Which OS?

if you are listening through headphones using the built in audio from the mac, you may be hearing fan noise or a hard drive spin noise.

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try repairing permissions.Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
And since you don't the original install disc, boot in Safe Mode to make sure the startup disk is ok.
Instructions for starting up in Safe Mode
What is Safe Mode
It occassionally tells me that classic doesnot have mac os 9 supported?
The original owner probably had the Classic environment installed (Mac OS 9).
For software updates, click the Apple Menu / Software Update...

Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

TS1702 I need some help the apps were downloading slowly

The apps downloaded but it didn't cause it's stuck in downloading mode what should I do?
The iOS 6 update didn't work.
Please I need some help.
The apps didn't download.
Talking Angela and Ginger didn't download.
Talking Santa didn't update.

Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so that iTunes has to create an entire new file. The backup file is located here. You can delete that backup once you get a successfull backup.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
