Printer Sharing across platforms - can someone tell me ...

if I can share a printer between an XP system and a Win 7 system?
Before I enter all the system data, I just wondered if someone already knew the answer to this one. I was successsfully sharing a non network printer plugged into an XP machine via USB and printing to it via Network Magic from my Vista machine, but since I upgraded Vista to Win 7, I cannot. Everytime I try to install the remote printer or access it in any way from my Win 7 machine, I get the Windows message: " Windows cannot connect to the printer". This also occurs form within the Network Magic Map if I try to Complete Printer Setup. It shows up on my Win 7 machine when I want to ADD a Printer, but I cannot install it. It shows as Shared on the XP machine.
Thanks for any assistance!

Hi S.,
You need to use Network and Sharing Center and open up your computer. You need to use the Public Profile and turn on Network Discovery. Not sitting in front of Windows 7 at the moment.
Otherwise, you need a Wireless Printer or All-In One Machine or a Printer that plugs into the Router using an Ethernet Port.

My adobe acrobat x stopped working whenever i'm trying to print a file..can someone tell me why?

starting yesterday , the adobe acrobat in my workplace pc stopped working whenever i try to print something. this problem really troubles me and my work.. please help if someone have the solutions.

O.k. Jacob, I’ll take your word for it. But I know there have been problems saving Word files on Windows.
If you Save As before you Save it somehow messes up the file directory and produces a never-ending series of error reports.
I have got around the problem by copying the text to a new file and making sure to Save the first time.
Then Cancel on the first file, whereupon it seems to relegate itself to the memory hole.
Normally I work on a Mac though. Never had any problems like that there, except that you’re not allowed to use colons in file names.
Accented letters have been known to misread in linked files and are best avoided. Ý and ý are known culprits.

HT1766 i have moved from an iphone 4 to iphone 5 and have done a back up of my iphone 4 and restored this back up to the iphone 5 but the apps do not appear to have come across, have I done something wrong? Please can someone tell me how to move my apps

i have moved from an iphone 4 to iphone 5 and have done a back up of my iphone 4 and restored this back up to the iphone 5, but the apps do not appear to have come across. Have I done something wrong? Please can someone tell me how to move my apps across?

After you Restore from backup, sync the iPhone.

Printer sharing across internet sharing

I hope I don't confuse everyone with this.
I have three computers—an iMac running Snow Leopard, an iMac running Lion, and a Mini running Leopard. The SL iMac has a printer plugged into it. The other two computers are across the house from it.
Those two computers are next to each other. The Lion iMac is connected to the Internet via WiFi. The Mini, which does not have wireless, is connected to the Internet via Internet Sharing over an ethernet cable to the Lion iMac.
Now here's the problem. I can print from the Lion iMac through printer sharing across to the SL iMac. However, I can't figure out how to print from the Mini. It won't find the SL iMac's printer. Enabling printer sharing on the Lion iMac lets the Mini see it as a 'printer,' but it won't print across to the SL iMac.
So with this setup, is it possible to print to the SL iMac from the wireless-less Mini?
Just to ward off possible non-workable solutions, rearranging the computers is not feasable right now. It is also not possible to connect the Mini directly to the internet via ethernet. My cable modem is actually in a near-inaccessable part of the house due to that being where the only cable plug is. I have a Time Capsule attached to it, which broadcasts my wireless signal that the WiFi computers can pick up. And no, I can't connect the printer to the Time Capsule—believe me, I tried. I don't want to have to start buying long cables and drilling holes if there's a simpler solution.
Thanks in advance.

If I switch to the discussed set up (Airport Extreme N router), will adding an AX in between at 15 feet help bridge the link between the G5's Airport extreme card and the living room's AX?
Yes. But I still think you should verify if Wi-Fi interference is the cause of your poor signal only 30' away from the AX before going out and purchase anything. Remember, you will tradeoff bandwidth performance for signal strength. With audio, this can be a negative factor.
If you can get a hold of a laptop, I suggest downloading a copy of iStumbler. Use iStumbler's Inspector feature (select Edit > Inspector from iStumbler's menu) to determine the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at different points around your house, by performing a simple RF site survey. Within the Inspector, note the values for "signal" & "noise" at these locations. Start with the laptop near the AX, note the readings, and then, choose the locations between the AX and, finally, where you have the G5.
SNR is the signal level (in dBm) minus the noise level (in dBm). For example, a signal level of -53dBm measured near an access point and typical noise level of -90dBm yields a SNR of 37dB, a healthy value for wireless LANs.
The SNR, as measured from the laptop, decreases as the range to the base station increases because of applicable free space loss. Also an increase in RF interference from microwave ovens and cordless phones, which increases the noise level, also decreases SNR.
SNR Guideline
o 40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
o 25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
o 15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
o 10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
o 5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
If the SNR is 20dB+ at each of these locations, then you should be getting reasonable performance from your AirPort. If less, either try to locate the source of the Wi-Fi interference or try relocating the base station or the G5 until they are within a 20dB SNR range.

Can someone tell me the difference between a MC774ll/a and a MC958ll/a.

Can someone tell me the difference between model numbers MC774ll/a and a MC 95811/a?

This is not a difference between your Macbook Pro, but the keyboard key cap type (the small plastic squares for each on your keyboard) I think it has to do with what is printed on the modifier keys, but the difference is minor and the both seem to be compatible with the same models based on the links you posted.

Can someone tell me why

Can someone tell me why is the ctrl not returned back to the println stmt of method counter after the method counterRecursion is executed???
pgm
class Trial1
     int ct=0;
     void counter(String word)
          counterRecursion(word);
          System.out.println(ct);
     void counterRecursion(String w)
          if (w!=null)
               switch (w.charAt(0))
                    case 'a':
                    case 'e':
                    case 'i':
                    case 'o':
                    case 'u': ct++;
                    default:counterRecursion(w.substring(1,w.length()));
class Trial2
     public static void main(String args[])
          try
               Trial1 c=new Trial1();
               c.counter("hello");
          catch(Exception e)
     }

What fsato4 means is never use an empty catch block:
try {
    // code
catch (Exception e) {}If there's an error anywhere (as it seems it's happening) it is being ignored.
Using:
try {
    // code
catch (Exception e) {
    // do something with the exception, don't simply ignore it
    e.printStackTrace();
}Prints any error in the console.

Please can someone tell me what cable I need to connect my Macbook Pro 15'' Retina display to a Yamakasi Catleap Monitor?

Hi all,
I have a Macbook Pro 15'' Retina and I'm thinking of getting a Yamaksai Catleap Monitor, please can someone tell me the best way to connect this? Do I need a thunderbolt to DVI connector, or Thunderbolt to VGA? Im assuning the former would be superior! Please can someone advise?
Thanks very much in advance,
Cheers,

Hello,
Some UK links... You can use any of the following to get the video signal out of the iMac and into a standard format:
Mini DVI - DVI
Mini DVI - VGA
Mini DVI - Composite/S-Video.
The DVI will give you best quality, but VGA will be simpler. The DVI to HDMI connector is:
Buy a DVI to HDMI connector (link). Long HDMI cables are pretty expensive though.
Although HDMI can handle sound as neither DVI, MiniDVI nor VGA do you'll need to connect the sound separately. Simply connect the sound out on the iMac to the input on the TV using a cable like this:
3.5mm to RCA.
If you use the miniDVI to VGA connector here's a long VGA cable (link).
All Macs since about 1999 have had +DVD Player+ installed. I'm not at my Mac right now to check Front Row in Leopard but Front Row in Tiger certainly played DVDs (but +DVD Player+ is a better, more flexible DVD Player).

My MAC did a software update tonight and now my mail wont load, it is teeling me I need to update my mail software, can someone tell me how to do this please?e

My mac updated softwar tonight and now I have no mal, can someone tell me how to udate my mail sofware please ?

I assume you're talking about Security Update 2012-004 for Snow Leopard? Have you by any changed moved your Mail application out of the Applications folder? This will cause updates to fail to work - Apple's included applications should always be left where Apple installed them.
If this is the case, move it back, then downlad the update from Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard) and run it again.

I cannot find a photo I did a lot of work to create. I have several library files that look similar but I found that at least one photo is not in both. Can I somehow merge these libraries. Can someone tell me how.

I cannot find a photo I did a lot of work to create. I have several libraries that look similar but I found at least one photo that was in one and not the others. Can someone tell me if I can merge these libraries, and how, and what to watch for that might cause problems.

the paid version of iPhoto library manager can merge libraries safely
Why do you have several libraries? Why are you not just using the one that has what you want?
