Photosmart c4280 prints gibberish from new Macbook Air using OS X10.9

I can't seem to get this to print. It will print page after page of a single line of gibberish for a simple print request. The machine is a new macbook air with 10.9.4 Wife's IMac w/10.6 prints wirelessly with no problem. As does my son's windows 7 powered PC. So I'm not sure where to turn. I've already done a reload of the driver with the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, plugging the printer directly to the computer worked! Not ideal, but it is workable. Not sure why that is the case because the computer has no problems connecting to the internet via the router. I guess it's all over my head!

I want to print off my new MacBook
air -using my HP 6310 - what is the exact description of the cable I should purchase

USB to Printer Cable is what you need.
USB being the small rectangular one and the printer side will be a larger but square shaped one with a slight curve in one side.
Around $5.

I have a new Macbook Pro - trying to migrate files etc from my Macbook Air using a Thunderbolt Cable between the two. I follow the directions but the two computers never "discover" each other. WiFi connect works but 70 hours is a rough deal.

Are you trying target disk mode?

I cannot print wirelessly from my macbook air

I am trying to print wirelessly from my macbook air 256gb. We have a HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series. It works fine printing when I plug my computer into the cord that is connected to the printer. but without the cord, it says the printer is "offline". I am wondering if the only way to print is if I connect it with the cord, or if i can somehow print wirelessly that I do not know about. thanks!

also, the printer says it is not connected, maybe if i connect it, i can print wirelessly. how do i connect it?

Is there a way to move music I had on my iPhone 4 to my new macbook air, using iTunes it seems to want to synch to iTunes library where I don't have any music stored?

Hello KM47,
It soundsl ike you are needing to copy your iTunes purchases to your computer rather than sync it at this point. You can use the following article to transfer your purchases with the following article:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
If you have your library stored on another computer, you can also copy the library to the new MacBook Air with this article:

HT204387 I want to transfer from my Macbook Air using bluetooth.

I have been trying to transfer music from my Macbook Air using bluetooth to my Iphone 4s OS 6.01. Each time I try I get the message 'the device doesn't have the necesary services". I also noticed that my old 3GS is not visible and my old Nokia 95 can't pair with my 4s.
Any ideas?

You don't. iOS doesn't support file transfer over BT.

No video mirroring AppleTV ver 2 or 3 from new Macbook Air (very latest)

I have both a 2nd gen and 3rd gen apple TV and a brand new Macbook Air with Mountain Lion plus all updates installed on all devices. I can see both Apple TVs in myAirplay menu and can select either one. In both cases the sound works but the TV video goes blank and then later returns to the screensaver while the sound continues to stream. I have tried every possible resolution setting and nothing seems to work. The Apple TVs have hardwired ethernet and the Macbook Air is using wireless through my Airport Extreme (less than six months old).
Any ideas on what the problem is or how to resolve?

I'm in a similar boat to you, wondering whether I should replace my 2006 MBP 2.4 C2D 4Gb/160Gb with the top spec 13" MBA, or wait unti the next MBP refresh at the end of the year / begining of 2012.
FWIW, I think for your needs a MBA would probably do the job quite admirably... it should be able to handle rippng and Handbrake with no problems (faster than your current set up, but not as fast as a MBP).
I guess the real test is how well it can handle HD editing. I'm sure it will be fine for the occasional use, but then again a MBP would be better.
Personally though, I think you'd probably get more use and life out of a MBP. Mine is still going strong and it is more than adequate for my daily uses, but it's time for a change anyway.

How do I accept/purchase/download ilife programs after restoring Lion on a new Macbook Air using a new apple ID. App store will not let me do anything but accept; and it won't accept the apps with the new apple id

I wanted to restore my new Macbook Air (over the web).. using a new apple ID instead of the old one I originally used when I bought the computer from the apple store a month ago. By doing that, everything worked, but the iLife programs that originally came with it shows in the app store as "ACCEPT". When I try to accept them... it says they are assigned to another ID.. you must repurchase them for this ID.
I have no problem if I have to repurchase. I just can't find anywhere to do that. No matter what I do, I can only "ACCEPT".. which as I said earlier - don't work.
Thanks for any help

How can i install windows on new macbook air using remote drive on the bootcamp partition

Hi all, I just purchased a new macbook air mid - 2011 with OSX-Lion installed on it. I wish to install Windows XP on the boot camp partition but have not purchased the external super drive. Is there some way that I can install windows on boot camp using remote drive of my other macbook pro system.
If this is possible, then please guide me.
Thank you,

I have my iTunes library on external drive and can access from any PC. However I cannot access from new MacBokk Air.

My iTunes library is on an external drive and been using it on two PCs with no problem.
Now that I got a new MacBook Air I want to access the same iTunes library from the external drive and keep all the library and media on that external drive.
When I try to change to another iTunes library by hitting "option" with iTunes and select the library on the external hard drive I get the following message:
"The iTunes library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do noy have write permission for this file."
I have read many posts in which many suggest to go to the library or media file on the PC and right click to make sure the read only tab is not checked.
I uncheked the read only tab and gave full permission to all the iTunes files and folders.
The unusual part is that I can use this external drive on many PCs that I have tried with no problem at all.
I just select a different library, which is on my external hard drive and everything works, play lists and everything.
However, when I try it on a MAC i get the message stated above:
What can I do to be able to access my External iTunes library from new MacBook Air while keeping everything on the external drive like I can on PCs?
I am running latest version of iTunes and Mavericks.
Please advise.

Gallery movie won't play properly on new Macbook Air

I uploaded a movie last night, but when I try to play it on my new Macbook Air, using Safari, it only loaded 1/4 the way and won't play any further. But it plays fine on my Windows computer. Every time I try to go back and play it, it gets stuck in the same place. It won't load any further, and I can't get it to reload from the beginning (where the loading progress bar starts at the very beginning). Google Chrome won't play it at all. I'm assuming this is a quicktime problem. I haven't done the last Mac OS update yet (I'm at work, my Macbook's at home). Any guesses on what I need to do? Just update the OS? And if I reinstall Quicktime, how do I do that?

Any guesses on what I need to do?
I would not want to hazard a guess until I can check the instantaneous data rate at the time of the problem. Got the URL and a time where the file stops?

Hello there adell723,
I suggest taking a look at this article we have named Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6 found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628?viewlocale=en_US.
Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
If you have Mac OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion installed then I would recommend using Wireless Diagnostics tool which is on your computer already.
Here is the article for it and how to use it to assist with wifi connectivity issues.

I can't get a thunderbolt connection to work between my iMac and new macbook air

I would like to establish a connection between my iMac and new macbook air using a thunderbolt connector. Nothing seems to happen when I plug the cable in to each device. When I open Settings/Network it shows up the Thunderbolt bridge as 'Not Connected' on the MacBook and as 'Some Connected' on the iMac. I have no problems with connecting another device (iPad) to the iMac. Can anyone help please?

Nothing happens when I try to boot up using the command+R keys.
Did you hold down those keys before booting and continue till you get to a selections window? You should get this:
If you can't boot into the Recovery volume make an appointment with the nearest Apple Genius bar for a diagnosis. You're still under warranty.
