Officejet not able to connect with MAC wirelessly but will connect to W7 PC

I have a 6700 Office jet and have it setup to print wirelessly with a W7 PC. The Mac will not connect to the printer wirelessly but will print via usb connection. Any hints?

Hi jecp,
It sounds like the router is not broadcasting the Bonjour protocol. The Mac uses Bonjour and the Windows uses DHCP. You may need to contact the Internet Service Provider (IPS), but you can try the steps below, I have seen success with a simple reboot.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable
Shut down the Mac, Click the Apple Icon and select Shut Down
Leave the router on and unplug the power cable, do not press any buttons
After one full minute, plug the router back in and wait for the lights to illuminate again and stedily
Plug the printer back in and wait for the wireless light to become solid
Turn the computer back on
Now try to add the printer to the Print and Scan in System Preferences.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue. I am happy to provide additional assistance if necessary.

PDF files not able to view with mac os but working fine with other browers even i downloaded pdf plugins

Hi,
On Apple Mac i am not able to view/open pdf files even i downloaded adobe reader plugins but same thing i can open with help of other browsers like chrome. And with firefox i am getting below message when try to open pdf files.
"It appears you don't have Adobe Reader or PDF support in this web browser. Click here to download Adobe Reader".
I want to fix it for my client.
So please suggest me to fix this.

When you install or update Adobe Reader, it installs a plugin for viewing PDF files inside Firefox and sets that as the default. The problem is that this plugin does not work. In order to view PDF files again follow these steps

Ok, but.. this is very strange man, it was working just fine until the update... after rebooting on 7.0.2, the WiFi didn't work anymore... If I replace the Wifi/Bluetooth Chip, will it work?

Powermac G4 will not boot from CD with OS10 install BUT will boot with OS 9

I have a Powermac G4 which had been running OS 10.38 or 39. The system on start up would sound the tones, the grey screen with Apple logo displays and the rotating clock at the bottom of the screen ultimately freezes and nothing more happens.
I presume that the hard drive is either smoked or corrupted so I buy a replacement drive and Tiger, and go through the following steps:
I disconnect the old drive and try to boot my g4 with Tiger install disks. The start up freezes in the same way as with old disk.
I find my old Panther install disks and the system freezes in the same way.
I then use my 9.2 install disk and the system boots and I get cannot see my new drive.
I disconnect my new drive, reconnect my old drive and re-boot with 9.2 and find my old drive mounts. Big Smile but...
here is the question:
Since I apparently have a still functional drive, why won't my install CD for Panther or DVD for Tiger not boot this system???? I do have a panasonic DVD/CD writer which is aftermarket if that might be the issue. If so would re-installing the apple CD player make a difference?
(I have also zapped the PRAM)
I am on the way out to try and find a copy of disk warrior to try and salvage my old drive. All help would be appreciated.
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I had a really weird problem that might be something like you're experiencing. I was trying to get Tiger onto a "Yikes" PCI G4, and it would not boot up with the Tiger disk.I did everything I could come up with, and no luck. I spent a good bit of time here and over at macosx.com, and no one could figure it out. I finally just re-installed 10.2.8 on a partition, and for some unknown reason, the computer booted with the Tiger disk, and I was able to install. I let the people on the boards know it, but didn't go back to tell them what happened the next day. When I tried to restart, it would only boot into OS9. If I tried to force Tiger (like by choosing it as start-up) it would go to a black screen. Anyway, it ended up no go. If you'd like to go through all the things I did, here's the link to that thread:
http://macosx.com/forums/mac-os-x-system-mac-software/272035-cant-install-tiger- g4-pci-yikes.html
I would still like to know if there's some reason some "Yikes" models just can't deal with Tiger.

I have an iPad with iOS 5.0.1 that is not able to connect to cisco wireless networks at work.

Hi, I have an iPad that is not able to connect to any of the Cisco wireless access points at work. The iPad is on the latest iOS 5.0.1. I did a reset on the iPad and erased all content and settings. The wireless network I'm trying to connect uses WPA2 Enterprise encryption. I'm able to connect to a Verizon mifi device so I know wireless is working. It seems like it's just not getting the certificate. I'm able to connect to our wireless network from other iPads just fine except for this one device. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to troubleshoot the issue. Thank you.

I suggest updating using iTunes on your computer (current version: 11.0.3).
Update iOS first, then apps.

Hello:
You will need to delete the keyboard from the other Mac. Simply disconnecting it leaves it still paired with the first Mac.

AirPort Express Not Able to Connect Wirelessly

Hardware is iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Mac OS 10.6.8
Connected to Internet via Motorola Surfboard SBG6580 Modem / Router, so I connect by wireless through the modem.
I followed the installation instructions to install AirPort Express to play music on my home stereo. I connected the Airport Express to the receiver by the tape port. I was not able to install AirpPort Express via wireless mode, so I connected the iMac to the AirPort Express by CAT-5 hard wire cord. The installation was successful and the AirpPort Express obtained an AP address. I was then able to play music from iTunes pm the iMac through the stereo speakers...as long as the AirPort Express was connected by hard wire to the iMac.
When I remove the CAT-5 cord from the AirPort Express, the AirPort Express retains the green light, but it is not able to receive data from the iMac. To the contrary, the AirPort Utility is not able to find any AirPort wireless devices unless the AirPort Express is connected via the hard wire CAT-5 cord.
As an experiment, I then connected the AirPort Express to the cable modem / router via the hard wire CAT-5 cord. The AirPort utility on the iMac was still not able to find any AirPort wireless devices. Further, the model then assigned a different AP address to the iMac so that it was not able to connect to the Internet..
Meanwhile, the AirPort Express still retains the green light, indicating the installation was a success and that it is ready to transmit.
Any advice to resolve this issue would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I suggest that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) to get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration. By default, the AXn will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
After the reset has completed, plug the AXn into power, and then, verify from the iMac that this network shows up in the list of networks under the AirPort icon in the OS X menu bar. Does it?
If so, then from the AirPort icon, switch your iMac to connect to the AXn's wireless network. Note: You will temporarily lose the Internet connection from your Motorola router. Then, run the AirPort Utility. The Utility should now find the AXn. If not, use the Utility's "Configure Other" option under the File menu option in the Utility's menu bar. Enter 10.0.1.1 for the Address and "public" for the Password.
AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <existing Motorola's wireless network>
Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup >Music
Enable AirPlay (checked)
iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
Verify Password: (optional)
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX

Not able to connect my Iphone to my WRT54GS router with security enabled

As the subject line states, I'm not able to connect my Iphone to my WRT54GS router when the security is enabled. When ever I attempt to connect to my network with my phone it always tells me the password is incorrect. I have double checked the password in the easylink advisor and it matches up. I have also tried both WPA and WEP with the same result, I know that the wireless is working on the router as I turned the security off and was able to connect to it. I updated the firmware this evening also with no changes. If anyone could help me with this issue it would be much appreciated.

First of all, in the router, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also, in the router, set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your iPhone find and lock on to your router's signal.
To connect using WEP, enter WEP "key 1" (found in the router) into the iPhone, not the WEP password or passphrase.
To connect using WPA, make sure that there is not an encryption nomenclature problem. For example, WPA is not the same as WPA with AES. Please note the following:
WPA = PSK = WPA with TKIP = WPA personal
WPA2 = PSK2 = WPA with AES = WPA2 personal
I am not certain, but your iPhone probably does just ordinary WPA (not WPA with AES). Assuming that this is correct, then the router should be set to:
"WPA personal" with "TKIP"
Also, in the iPhone, be sure to delete the entry for your unsecured connection to your router, before you try to input info regarding the secured connection to the router.
Hope this helps.

Not able to connect on my secured wireless network

I am having WRT54G2 router and i configure my router for my home. I configured it as secured network. I have a laptop (IBM Thinkpad R52). But i am not able to connect my home wireless secured network. When i try to connect any other unsecured (open to all) network from my laptop it allows me. For any secured network it says Acquiring Network address. What should I do?

What encryption are you using?
What operating system are you using?
For WEP, you must enter WEP "key 1" (found in the router) into your computer, not the WEP password or passphrase.
For WPA or WPA2, you must enter the key (sometimes called password or passphrase) into your computer.
Note that WPA2 (= WPA with AES) requires that you upgrade Windows XP to SP3. If you have not done this yet, do this now. Note that Windows Vista already works with WPA2.
If you still have trouble connecting, in the computer, temporarily disable your software firewall, including Windows Firewall, and see if that helps.
If you still have trouble, download and install the latest driver for the wireless adapter in your computer.

My iphone 4S is not able to connect to my home wifi network although it easily connects to others. Infact, i have tried connecting another iphone with my home network without any difficulty. So its just my new iphone 4S that is not connecting.

My iphone 4S is not able to connect to my home wifi network (BSNL). It does detect it and even tries to connect to it but in vain. However, it connects to all other available networks easily. Another interesting thing is that all other devices including an iphone 4 easily connects to this home network. So what is the problem with iphone 4S???

There are two ends to a wireless network. Try rebooting your router. Just pull the power for a few seconds and replug. No settings are lost.
(The fact that all your other devices connect to the internet is irrelevant)

Not able to connect wireless

Dear community,
I am trying to find some support here after nobody can help me from customer service over the phone. I recently bought a new laptop, an HP Envy. Yesterday I started using it, it connected to my home network with no problem. I have a BT Home Hub 2.0.
All of a sudden I was not able to connect anymore. The strange thing is that I can connect to other wireless network (such as BT open zone). My girlfriend is connected to our home network with no problems. While receiving input from a BT technician i tried to enable/disable the adapter, reset the Hub ecc. Nothing changed, now I cannot connect to the network wireless, but only with an ethernet cable.
I was advised to take it back to the vendor, but this is something I would prefer to avoid.
Any input will be warmly welcome. Thanks
Riccardo
