Oops; shd have posted here to begin with: question about canon pixma 850

can my macbook and my printer be connected via ethernet, rather than via usb? if so, what am i doing wrong? i have the computer and the printer hooked up and nothing's happening. i'm not an esp. sophisticated computer user, so i need pretty basic instructions.
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.5.5)

Hello Nancy,
There is three major steps required for using the MX850 as a network printer from your Mac.
First of all, there is two pieces of software you will need to install on the Mac, the Canon driver v7.1.1 and the IJ Network Tool v2.6.5. These should have been included with the printer but can also be downloaded from a Canon web site.
With the driver and the tool installed, the second step is to set the network address settings in the printer so that the Mac can communicate with it. This has to be performed with the printer connected via USB to the Mac.
With the printer driver installed and connected via USB, the printer should be listed in the Printers list of System Preferences > Print & Fax. If it is shown, click it once to select it and then click the Open Print Queue button. From the MX850 printer queue you can click the Utility icon. This will open another utility showing the MX850 connected via USB. Select the MX850 and click the Network Settings tab. The new window will guide you through setting the network address for the MX850.
This is where you will need to know a few details about your network. If the printer is connecting to a hub or router, and this device can supply IP addresses to connected devices, such as your Mac, then you can set the MX850 to DHCP and the network device will allocate an address for the printer.
If you have no hub or router and want to connect the Mac directly to the printer via Ethernet, then you will have to manually set an IP address and subnet mask in the Mac and so the same in the MX850. Rather than spend too much time explaining this now, if this is how you want to connect the MX850 to the Mac then please reply stating so.
With the IP address settings configured in the MX850, the last step is to add the network printer. You can close the Canon utility, turn off the printer and disconnect the USB cable. Now connect the Ethernet cable and turn the printer back on. Give it a minute or two to acquire its network settings and then open Print & Fax on the Mac. Now you need to Add another printer queue, this time for the networked MX850. Click + to add, and then select More Printers then Canon IJ Network from the top menu. The new window that appears should display the MX850 with a series of numbers and letters in brackets. Select this in the list and click Add. This will add the printer to your printers list. Now you can try printing to the MX850, making sure you select the network queue (the one with the numbers and letters in brackets) and not the USB queue, which probably just shows MX850.
Hope this basic enough for you.

Perhaps I should have posted here - Notification delays with iCal

I posted this in SL - but now realize there is a separate area just for iCal so here goes again:
==>I really find it hard to believe that we are all the way to SL 10.6.4 but the alarm (notification reminder delays) on iCal cannot be configured. For example: I set an alarm (notification of an event) to go off to remind me to finish a rapport that is due in 3 days. So I set the alarm for 10am Tuesday; and the notification can be the same time; in the past, future - anytime notification I wish. THAT PART IS SUPER!
BUT BUT BUT - when the alarm goes off, I now realize that I can't work on that today - it is 10 am and I want to work on it at 8am tomorrow, so would like click on the notification to remind me in 12 hours for example; or in 18 hours time. BUT MY CHOICES are still only 1, 5, 15 and 30 minutes; 1 hour, 2 hours or 1 day or 1 week. But I really want to set anytime; or if limited to choices, at least to have 4, 8, 12 and 18 hours in addition to the others!!!!
This should be easy to incorporate. Is there anyway using TERMINAL to adjust this? I like the idea of Mail, Address Book and iCal working together, but iCal has some weak points... this is one. (I use notifications constantly - 10-30 times/day I am notified. It's fast, it works - but I need more choices of times for the delays).
Thanks for any comments.
Best regards,

Newbie with question about the $400 Deposit for FIOS TV Service

Okay, i was real happy when i found Fios is finally available in my area after years of waiting. I call to order and theysay i need to post a 400 dollar deposit for fios tv. I ask why and they say combination of poor credit and also the fact that the TV equipment as in the DVR boxes are very expensive and they just want security. Its fullt refundable after 1 year. However, to my suprise i was approved for FIOS Internet And Phone Service or Double freedom plan 20/5 internet and Freedom Phone plan both for $64 Dollars monthly 2 year guarantee. Also get the 100 dollars cash back in for of the debit card. My problem is that i dont need any verizon equipment for the Televisions as all my tvs in the home have tivo. All i need is the cablecard decoder which i am sure are considerably less expensive than the Home media dvr or regular dvr. Is there a way to get around this or am i stuck without fios tv until i put up the 400 dollars? Is there a higher power i can appeal to??

Thanks for the many previous replies..... I solved my problem by calling verizon and using my wifes maiden name. Now i will have all 3 fios services with no $400 dollar deposit.

Problems with AEX, a Canon PIXMA MP530 and German 1&1/Telekom DSL

Got a new printer today - a Canon PIXMA MP530. It prints directy via USB.
I would like to use it connected to by Airport Express.
I know, only the printing will work - that's okay for now.
It does print, if I use the AEX Firmware version 6.3.
Unfortunately though, with 6.3 my DSL connection with German Telekom and 1&1 ceases to work.
Going back to Firmware 6.1.1 my DSL is back on, but as soon as I connect the USB cable to the printer, nothing goes: neither printing, nor DSL.
Any advise?

Agreed.
And while I'm not expecting my MP780's scanning feature to work via the AEBS, I would expect--and I think reasonably so--for the print function to at least work.
I'm just hoping that it's a matter of an update to the driver or firmware to get it to work as intended.
Aloha!

I have an ipad 2, verizon jet Pak router, canon pixma mg3220 wireless printer. All were working until yesterday. Now I get no air printer found message. Have shut down everything and restarted. No change

I have an ipad 2, verizon jet Pak router ang canon pixma mg3220 wireless printer. All were working until yesterday. Now, I am getting no air printer message. Have shut everything down and restarted. It did not work.

See requirements for AirPrint (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356):
If your printer supports AirPrint but does not work then:
Your printer might need a firmware update
Your printer must be on the same WiFi network
Your router must support Bonjour (Zero-configuration networking).
For troubleshooting:
Turn Off iPad, WiFi router (remove from power), and Printer (remove from power).
Turn on WiFi router
Wait 30 seconds
Turn on printer
Wait 30 seconds
Turn on iPad
Try to print.

How do you link images that have no link to begin with?

Im working with a file created by someone else. I have seen this before but there are no links in the links window for a lot of the images that I click. I have found this can happen when doing a copy/paste of an image from a website, photoshop, etc... Is there a way to give these images an actual link so I dont have to go through and drop in the actual image and resize it all from scratch to make it fit with the non-linked image?

It's not quite that bad... you can script this. For instance, this oneline script:
app.selection[0].graphics[0].place(File.openDialog())
operates on a selected image (such as one copy-and-pasted, though it would also work with a properly placed image) and opens a file dialog and lets you select a new image which is then placed in it, preserving the scale. Can't do anything about the crop though.
Does that help? Do you need more automation? Or explanation how to use it?

Need help with question about upgrading phone

Okay, so, here's what's going on:
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon.
It's dying/freezing/battery life is terrible. Looking to upgrade.
I don't have an upgrade available for my line, but my wife does.
She's giving me permission to use hers, which a Verizon rep told me is fine.
I want to use her upgrade to get a Samsung Galaxy Note II.
The best price (subsidized) right now is on Dell's site ($169.99), which I could price-match at Best Buy (employee confirmed this). However, it's still a little high for me.
I could get a better price by adding a line with this device - shave off $40 ($129.99).
So here's my question: is there any way to add a line, get some immediate savings on the purchase, then immediately cancel the line (maybe only taking a little bit of a hit, getting most of the cost reimbursed for not using it)? In other words, how can I get this phone as cheap as possible?
Thanks for your suggestions!

If you add a line as you suggest, that new line will come with a 2 year (24 month) contract for service that will have a $350 Early Termination Fee (ETF) if you cancel the line immediately like you indicated. There goes the thought of getting the Note II for the cheaper than the upgrade price.
I recommend going with the price match upgrade @ $169.99 at Best Buy. I can confirm they do the price match. I bought my last phone from Best Buy and they matched the Radio Shack price I brought them and I had a good experience.
Good luck.

Need help with question about Microsoft Excel?

I have recently begun using Microsoft Office for Mac. My question is related to the Excel program. I have used this for years on a PC where when the program opens, it shows a Workbook with a single page. However, on the Mac, when it opens, it shows many pages, the first going from column A to G, the second going from H to N, etc. and each page with the text "Click to add data". This continues forever. I would like to have just one sheet as on the PC. I have not found a way to limit this view to a single page. I have looked in the Preferences and in "View", but nothing seems to change the configuration. Any suggestions?
Thanks

My zoom only shows the magnification and does not give a "one page" option. However, I did find an icon that I loaded into the menu bar which gives the one page view. This may be due to the version 2004 that I am using.
I also find that if I want to change the number of columns and rows, I change the size of each. I assume this is correct.
Thanks for the help. This is slightly different that the PC version, but I am sure over time, there will be no problem.

The iPhone 5 is Finally Here!! Some Questions About My First Smartphone

Hello-
I do not see any personal set-up or mini class advertised with the iphone 5 purchase webpage. Does anybody know if theyare not offering this initially or at all? Does the new adapter come with the iPhone 5 or is that extra?
For Verizon customers who are not in contract and ready for an iPhone 5, can they purchase one from Apple.com, and when it arrives at their door, bring it in to the Apple Store to get help with the personal set-up? And also help with setting it up with a Verizon plan?
I am assuming this iPhone has the personal mobile hotspot. Has this been a good thing on the other iPhones because I wuld like to get this activated and get a plan that allows me to use it. any suggestions on a Verizon plan that allows me to do this?
I did not see when they are available in-store. Is that an option that I should consider if I do not mind waiting in lines. Anybody know when this starts? The pre sales starts on9/14 and ships on the 22nd?
Thanks.

Could someone help with question about PNG export from Illustrator?

I am having issues with PNG exports from Illustrator not opening up once exported.

ANd exactly sorry, this is useless. You have not provided any details about your export settings, version of AI, system info, how you are trying to view and so on. Just saying that it doesn't work is simply not good enough.

Problems printing wirelessly with A_Extreme and Canon pixma i4000

Have had a Airport Express network setup with 2 Macs and 2 PCs sharing the printer wirelessly without problem for 2 years. Replaced the AP with an Extreme base station and now the printer is no longer detectable, although everything else is working well ( x one of the PCs can't detect the USB drive. )
2.16 GHz Intel Duo Core, G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1GB ram

Some people have found that the USB 2 port is too fast for some printers.
You can try placing a USB 1 hub in between the printer and the AEBSn.
Another option
I've had an Canon iP5000 printer linked up to my AirPort Express for remote printing. It has never worked reliably: on long complex jobs it would just stop printing in the middle of a page. Well, now some early testing of a possible fix has allowed me to print long, complex jobs without the printer stopping in the middle. I'm happy, and will test the solution more over the next few weeks. Although not yet thoroughly tested, I thought I'd share my solution now, given how well it seems to be working. I set up the firewall installed in Mac OS X to limit the bandwidth of the connection to the AirPort, so that print jobs go more slowly to the printer.

Help with questions about upgrading iLife'08 onto an older PowerBook G4

I am seeking help/advice for a very low tech guy. I upgraded my PowerBook G4 (ancient I know but I have trouble with our thow away society), to Leopard 10.5.2. However, my iDVD no longer works. I plan on upgrading to iLife'08, but based on the system requirements, I am not certain all of the features (i.e. iMovie'08) will work on my older processor. Before I upgrade to iLife, can anyone tell me if I should do it and if they will work on my all the features will work on my PowerBook G4?

You can upgrade to iLife 08. All the apps should install except iMovie.
However, if you have iMovie 06, it will still work. And if you don't have iMovie 06, you can get it as a free download on the iMovie 08 Support Page.
