Photosmart C4500s cannot be set up for Wifi under Mac OS X Yosemite

Hi,
I use an HP Photosmart C4524 with a Mac OS X Yosemite. Unfortunately, the only way to use the printer is by connecting to its own 'hdsetup' wifi-network. I would like to connect the printer to my own wifi network, but the product offers neither a set-up wizard nor auto wireless connect (I think) or a WPS system and it is not recognised in the Apple Printer and Scanner Settings.
I used to be able to set up the printer thrugh USB under older OS Xs, when I could still use the HP Desktop Software.
After the Apple Driver Update this software has become obsolete and was deleted from my computer.
I tried installing the software and using it without the drivers update.  It worked up to a certain point but always crashed while connecting printer to network.
I also tried changing the network options when accessing the printer's IP address, but I was unsure about what I was doing.
Are there any solutions to change my printer's wifi network?
This question was solved.

Hello @Arnau, I hope you are well and welcome to the forums
I have a few suggestions that might work, to have your printer connected wireless with Yosemite. It may not work, but it could be worth the attempt, right?
To get started, there is no driver available for the Photosmart C4524 on Yosemite. The same process for Mavericks may work. Here are my suggestions:
Reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Restart the Mac
Follow this guide: HP Printers - Installing a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update
In addition, download this driver: HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X
If you still cannot connect wireless, see this post from @MissTeriLynn  and try her steps to connect through the Embedded Web Server: Re: Photosmart C4780
Best wishes to you, I hope this helps

  • Help! Cannot Re-set Email For BB Torch 9800!!!

    Dear BB Support, I had to do a Security Wipe on my BB 9800 and now I cannot re-set all my email accounts. I don't use a Corporate Email Server and when I do try and set up my emails the answer I get is Problem With Network Server Try Again.I have no idea what to do. Help please.

    Hello...and apologies for the delayed reply!!
    Hopefully you have already resolved this, but just in case...
    I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Delete and Resend Service Books
    KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
    If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your BIS configuration for the affected email accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Lastly, as to your opening ("Dear BB Support")...please understand that this site has nothing to do with any formal support at all. Rather, this is a user-to-user community of volunteers. Formal support is contractually limited to being provided by your mobile service provider, who can escalate into RIM as needed.
    Good luck!

  • Internet sharing via dongle, how to set password for wifi network created?

    I am using a USB dongle with my Mac book Pro to share internet through AirPort, so that i can access my mac book's wifi from my iphone. This works great, but it is an open network and I woud like to set up a password.
    If anyone can point me in the direction I would be very grateful!
    Thanks

    If you are using OS X's Internet Sharing feature, then you can configure wireless security on your Mac's internal AirPort Card but are limited by the OS X version that you are using. It was not until Mountain Lion that Apple provided WPA2 security. Prior to this only WEP was available.
    You configure Internet Sharing via System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing. (I don't have 10.6.x on any of my Macs so this may be different for your case.) Once you configure what is shared, you can then add wireless encryption.

  • TS4062 my iphone 4 has mild water damage and will not sync with cable.I want to sync it over wifi to reload data I deleted during my troubleshooting, but I did not set up for wifi sync before the damage. Is there a way that this can be done now ?

    My iphone 4 has mild water damage. As a result, it will not sync with it's former XP computer with the cable. I deleted the phone's data in the troubleshooting process. I want to get it back by syncing over wifi, but I did not set up this capability before the damage occured.is there another way to initiate this feature ? I can tell that they are connecting in the cloud because an app I just downloaded on the phone is showing up in itunes on the computer.

    You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

  • Xperia Z2 Tablet cannot be set up for USA region/country

    I purchased an Xperia Z2 on Ebay from a US seller assuming that it was a USA version.  When I try to set it up the only countries that are given as choices are Hong Kong, Kuwait, Saudia Arabia and United Arab Emirates.  Is this tablet specifically just for international use?  Should I return it?  Can I assume the warranty will not be honored for the US?  Thanks for any input you may be able to assist me with.

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    Could you check which model of Z2 Tablet you have bought? It's called SGPxxx and can see the model on the box and also under Settings -> About tablet.
    There should be warranty information included in the box that says where you have warranty but based on the countries you could select i suspect you don't have any warranty in the US.

  • HP Photosmart 6510 cannot print in Parallels for Mac using Windows 7

    I currently use the above model of printer with my Macbook (OSX Mountain Lion) and have no problems printing with the MAC.
    The problem is when I am in virtual machine mode (Parallels Desktop 8) and trying to print from Windows 7.
    Although it seems to be recognising the printer, it is telling me the printer is 'offline: 1 document waiting'.
    The Parallels support pages say that printers should work automatically.
    Can anyone help?

    Sounds like a bit of a mixed setup here, where you are using a Macintosh with Windows loaded onto the system. My first question is on the profile you are working with have you loaded the appropriate drivers from the website for the Windows machine? Here is a link for that : 
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategor​y?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=5058336
    I would also run this diagnostic test too :

    Let me know, and I will do what I can to help! 
    Have a great day!

    Help, I'm going nuts.

    Then you also need to create a UI element that extends HtmlPanelGrid
    that has a tModelKey member and getters/setters. That object will hold
    the information so that you can use it in your bean.Whoops... ignore that! Sorry. Attributes are simply stored in the component map component.getAttributes().
    Add to your Tag class:
    public void setProperties(UIComponent component) {
        super.setProperties(component);
        Tags.setString(component, "tModelKey", tModelKey);
    public void release() {
        // see above
    }Where Tags.java is:public class Tags {
        public static void setString(UIComponent component, String attributeName, String attributeValue) {
            if (attributeValue != null) {
                if (UIComponentTag.isValueReference(attributeValue)) {
                    setValueBinding(component, attributeName, attributeValue);
                } else {
                    component.getAttributes().put(attributeName, attributeValue);
        public static void setValueBinding(UIComponent component, String attributeName, String attributeValue) {
            FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            Application app = context.getApplication();
            ValueBinding vb = app.createValueBinding(attributeValue);
            component.setValueBinding(attributeName, vb);

  • Cannot activate iCloud services for contacts under Mavericks 10.9

    Just completed my 10.9 transition today.
    Small glitches, nothing major, little snitch wants an upgrade, EPSON scan no longer working but built in work around, airport 5.6 no longer working (I liked the statistical functions), ... little things.
    The only major issue was that my address book data had disappeared. No panic (yet) - everything backed into the cloud.
    Now the tricky part:
    I can activate the iCloud service in the "system preferences", but I cannot see or seem to be able to add the same in the "contacts - preferences - accounts". It asks me to enter my AppleID nd PW but it is not added to the acounts.
    At a loss here, I have "reset documents & data" via my iCloud web access, multiple re-boots with iCloud / Contacts services on/off - no change.
    Any help out there to help me look what is going wrong or even a quick fix.
    Thanks,
    --- Carsten

    Found the problem.
    I was using a symbolic link to share the addressbook / contacts between multiple accounts on the same computer. Just deleted it and had Contacts re-establish the folder. This worked fine under 10.7 Lion, no longer works under 10.9.
    iCloud recovered the addressbook / Contacts data - Works fine now.

  • HT5228 What about a security fix for Java under Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5?

    Apple recognized and offered a fix for the Flashback trojan here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5228?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    But it is only for OS 10.7 and 10.6.  Presumably, users of 10.5 and 10.4 are still vulnerable.  Because Apple insisted on providing Java support, rather than Oracle, the fix that was released in February doesn't work unless Apple were to make it work.
    If Apple is unwilling to support Java for 10.5 and 10.4, they need to hand over whatever documentation Oracle would need so they can keep the Java environment (and security) up to date.  10.5 and 10.4 are still viable OSes and to not patch obvious security flaws in one way or another is irresponsible, at best.

    I wouldn't expect anything to come of it.

  • Open gl driver for 8600m under Mac OSX

    Hey,
    Does anyone know when Apple would update the opengl driver for 8600m in SR MBP?
    Are the planning to update it for gaining performance?

    Mate, u gave a very interesting reply~
    As I know, many laptop manufactures suffers updating driver with their products (or they stop updating driver after a year). As a result, consumers are forced to use official driver. However, ATI and nVidia also prevent end users to install their lastest driver on any laptop products. This is annoying us that have to search the "crack" inf on the Internet in order to install the latest driver.
    Although Apple did not accurately announce the performance and functions of 8600m, usually, people estimate/expect these performance from reading review or benchmark from similar products. The performances of a piece of computer are depend on hardware itself as well as software. Driver is the main key to determine how would the hardware would perform. Unfortunately, todays they are selling their product by promoting the name of the hardware. Without much knowledge in computer, consumers do not know these performance software issues behind these hardware. Personally speaking, I suggests that this kind of inconsistency is a kind of misrepresentation in commercial activity. I wish that there is a kind of law would state that these computer products must provide or will provide a mature driver (which at least 80% of what the hardware claimed) within 3 months after the product release on the market.
    regards from a law student.
    Anyway, please tell us what u get from calling apple.

  • I have an HP Photosmart 7510 & cannot connect by WiFi, I have tried the support fix with no success.

    Hi
    I have an HP Photosmart 7510 & cannot connect by WiFi, I have tried the support fix with no success.
    I have tried the suggested from below;
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02817031&cc=uk&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=507...
    I have not tried to assign the static IP address suggested in step 6 on the web link above, I am not that technical & do not fully understand how to perform this task & am surprised HP expect retail client to follow this, if is a bit technical I think you must agree.
    Anyway, the WiFi or Wireless blue led is blinking.
    If I try to discover my wireless network, it is not displaye like it used , nor are my neighbors, my mobile Samsung Galaxy S displays my network and my neighbors when the phone in placed by my 7510.
    When  I try to enter the SSID & key, my 7510 times out without connecting to my router.
    My pc is connected directly to my router (Buffalo) and I use a Fujitsu Desktop running Win 7 32bit.
    By the way, I have done a "Factory reset" to my 7510 & this did not help at all.
    Can anyone help?
    Is my 7510 faulty?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm having a bit of trouble confirming that the ZyXEL is a combination modem & wireless-N router. If it is, then you really won't get any advantages of using the 802.11g AirPort.
    If the range of your ZyXEL is limited, you may find that doing either or both of the following will help: 1) Move the ZyXEL so that it is higher vs. lower in the room, that is away from any closed areas or placed in a metal cabinet, and 2) Changing radio channels. The latter is especially important in you live in an area where there are a number of competing Wi-Fi.
    A good utility to find out, is iStumbler. You would use this to find these other Wi-Fi and find which have the strongest signal value. Those that do, you would also want to note which channel they are operating on, and then, change yours to one that is at least 3-5 channels away. So, for example, if you find strong ones on channels 1 & 6, change yours to 11.
