[NEW] initscripts-wireless - initscripts to support wireless

I found it a rather big oversight that support for wireless wasnt built into /etc/rc.conf and /etc/rc.d/network
So I did it myself.
Grab an arch package here: http://members.optusnet.com.au/hrayner/ … pkg.tar.gz
Added wireless support on boot. Configurable through rc.conf.
To configure, do your INTERFACES line for your wireless connection as normal, then do the new WIRELESS line to set encryption, ssid and any other options available through iwconfig.

I had done this already 8)
mine uses a profile concept which seems to work better conceptually - that is, the interface may be the same, but use different ESSIDs and settings (profiles for "home", "school", and "starbucks" could all use wlan0/eth1 with different settings)

I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it won't print. What is AirPrint and how do I connect it?

I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it still won't print. What is AirPrint & how do I connect to it?

Patti-
Is your Epson printer on Apple's list of AirPrint capable printers? See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356>.
If it is an AirPrint printer, then your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint. Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update, that will make it work.
One other possibility is that there could be a print job stuck in the iPad's print queue. Double click the iPad's Home button and a row of recent Apps will appear along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and see if the Print Center is there.

New apple wireless keyboard & iPad 3 pairing question

Bought a new Apple wireless keyboard this week. Had some trouble pairing with iPad 3. Took me 4-5 attempts but it finally paired successfully after 10-15 minutes. Question for all you gurus... When the wireless keyboard arrived on Friday, I first paired it with my MacBook Pro. Could that have caused issues when I re-paired the wireless keyboard (today) with my iPad 3. And further, this will sound like a silly question, can the wireless keyboard be paired with two devices? I don't mean simultaneously. Does it screw up any settings to use the key board with separate devices/computers? Wondering -- if I keep my wireless keyboard at my office -- can I go to work with either my MBP or my iPad and simply use this one wireless keyboard? Or should each device have its own dedicated wireless keyboard? That seems redundant but I kind of love this keyboard already and would be willing to buy a second, if need be. Obviously, I don't want to spend extra money if it isn't necessary. Am I going to have to re-pair the keyboard and device each time I switch between the iPad and the MBP? Thanks all. You are always helpful and I appreciate it.

Thanks for the quick reply Skydiver! So...I really should buy a second wireless keyboard so that I don't have to go through the hassle of re-pairing the keyboard when i switch devices, yes? Yes, I believe I've answered my own question as I now sit here with my MBP attempting to pair it to the keyboard. Oy. Taking forever. I don't mind buying a second -- for $69, it seems to be the most efficient thing to do. Now I just need to figure out a way to designate which wireless keyboard goes with which device. Time to buy a little sticker! Thanks again.

There is no download; you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

HT4356 I was gifted a new Samsung wireless printer model ML-2165W, it works with my desk top and lap top but can't get it to work with IPad. Did I just receive a "boat anchor" printer in the eyes of Apple?

I was recently gifted a new Samsung wireless printer Model # ML-2165W and while it works fine with all my computers, I can't make it print from my IPAD. Was I given a "boat anchor" in the eyes of Apple?

It looks like your printer isn't on the list of air print enabled printers. It'll still work, you just need to do some tweaking.
You can see if samsung has any apps to enable printing.
or
You can look into a third party app like Print n Share or Print Central.
Then you can print from your iPad.

Mac Mini won't discover new Aluminum wireless keyboard

I have a new aluminum wireless keyboard that my mac mini running 10.5.8 will not discover (although new iMac 21.5 running 10.6.1 will). The Apple website says to use "Aluminum Keyboard Software Update 2.0" with the keyboard but I can't find that anywhere. I could find the "BluetoothFirmwareUpdate2.0.1" but it said my computer did not need that and wouldn't install it. Do I need that Aluminum Keyboard Software Update 2.0 and where can I find it (I looked all over the download site)? A link would be great!

I tried to locate that same software too. It is not yet available. I have the same issue probably. The bluetooth just does not recognise the keyboard. Although normal type pad is usable. Hot keys are a mess.. Any info would be very much appreciated.

New apple wireless magic mouse & itunes playlists grayed out

Today I started using a new apple wireless magic mouse after installing the wireless mouse software.
Ever since that all my playlists in itunes are grayed out & I cannot play any songs from a playlist.
I have run disk first aid, rebooted, & still cannot resolve this issue. I am thinking of returning this mouse & going back to my original wireless mouse.
Anyone know why this mouse would cause itunes issues & how to resolve this?
I did go back to my old wireless mouse, rebooted the mac, then itunes & the issue was resolved.
I must be doing something wrong if I cannot use this neat new wireless mouse. Anyone know what it could be?

I suggest you update to 10.5.8 (or change your signature), since teh magic mouse needs 10.5.8.
They won't be selling too many of these new "Magic Mice" if this issue isn't resolved.
See your previous sentence...
Seems to me like someone else besides me would have had this issue
If it was a problem yes, is seems others would have brought it up.
& they would have come up with a solution
If it was a problem, likely they would. Sounds like it is not the mouse but some setting on your system.
Have you checked the System prefs -> Keyboard & Mouse? And have you downloaded the latest -> Magic Mouse driver?

HT4059 Can I sync PDF files from my iPhone 4 to my new iPad wirelessly without iTunes?

Can I sync PDF files from my iPhone 4 to my new iPad wirelessly without iTunes

Yes, you can. Just add files to iTunes library (FILE > ADD FILES TO LIBRARY....) and they will appear under Books library.
Connect you device, select the Books tab, and make sure those books or pdf you want them over are being checked, then click the SYNC button on the lower right window.

New Verizon Wireless Community

Verizon Residential and Verizon Wireless each now have their own individual, dedicated communities. We are excited to bring you a new Verizon Wireless community to enhance your online experience.
By creating dedicated communities, each community will have additional space to offer you more content and functionality. We can offer you new categories and bring in new subject matter or break up existing content into more specific subjects for you to reference more easily. At the same time, the communities will only be a "click" away from each other.
Below are answers to some of the questions we anticipate might be top of mind for you.
Why did Verizon Wireless and Verizon Residential become 2 separate communities?
As a Community Only user, can I still post to both the Verizon Residential and the Verizon Wireless ...
I want to post a message to the Verizon Residential Community, but I can't sign in to post.
If my password is changed on the Verizon Wireless Community, will I have to change it on the Verizon...

Will someone please tell me how to get to the Wireless Forum, Prepaid, Phones and Devices etc. I have gone round and round with the site that wants me to sign up AGAIN and I can't since I'm already signed into the Forums. This site is so screwed up. I have logged onto the New Community Site and the New News Central etc. I just want the wireless forum sites. I found this site accidently so I hope I can find my way back here.

Does Timecapsule work with the new xfinity wireless gateway 1 modem / router?

My husband hooked up the new xfinity wireless gateway 1 modem / router today and now I can't access my Timecapsule to back up my Mac. Comcast has not been able to help me...and they can't get me back on our old Comcast modem so I can access my Timecapsule, which has worked fine for several years. Can anyone offer a solution?

Thanks for the suggestion. I have no idea why but all of a sudden the Time Capsule backed up my Mac before I had time to do as you suggested...although the back up process was very slow. I'll see if it gets faster over the next few days...will resort to your suggestion if needed. Thanks again!

New uverse wireless modem now what

I have a new uverse wireless residential gateway. What can I do with my Airport base station and airport express. Can I still use them both for itunes and maybe as an extender. Will they join the 2wire network the computers are on? Looking for suggestions before I start tinkering around.

Hello Gibson Jones. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You could still use the AirPort Express for streaming audio or sharing a USB printer. Since very few non-AirPort routers are WDS-compatible with AirPort there is not a very good chance that you will be able to wirelessly extend the U-verse-provided wireless gateway. However, one option would be to connect the AirPort Extreme base station by Ethernet to this gateway and then create a WDS with it and the AirPort Express.

New initscripts package and daemons [SOLVED]

Good Sunday to everyone: I've updated this morning my Arch, using pacman, and, apart from KDE SC 4.7, I found out a new initscripts package, initscripts 2011.07.3-1.
Ok, all done, the problem is that, every time I boot my system up, I get this error message about iptables and hal (dbus, to be more precise):
a daemon is starting another daemon. This is unlikely to work as intended
This is the relevant part of my /etc/rc.conf file:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng iptables hal sshd wicd mysqld clamav @spamd)
I have to say both iptables and hal work the right way, but it's true also that, before updating initscripts, no messages of this type had ever come out...
Any suggestions?
Burroughs.

As someone already pointed out, the warning is new. However, the wrong behavior is not. So if everything worked fine before, it will continue to work ok.
The reason for the warning is that when a daemon starts another daemon we don't have any information about this dependency at shutdown, and they will likely be shut down in the wrong order. This caused problems for some packages. We have fixed most rc scripts to not do this any more, some still remain, but they are mostly going away anyway (like hal).

New apple wireless keyboard could not be detected

I just purchased a new apple wireless keyboard and not paired with any device before. It could not be detected by my mbp 09 (with most updated software) by "set up bluetooth keyboard" button. It could not detected by bluetooth device serach on ipad2 either. Any setting procedures I missed? I followed all procedures I could find... Please help. Thanks!

found answer here- my wireless keyboard model is MC184LL/B
http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MB110LL/B?pqid=QXXHTX4T747AAF PXKHXCC72CYAXYU7XXYUPK9UFC74K27FPKF
The Function keys will not all work properly on 10.5.8, all the other keys will be fine. The previous model MB110LL/A would work with all the Function keys on Leopard or Snow Leopard.
