Printing from Windows 8.1. laptop to Mac printer

Hi all,
I just got a new Windows 8.1. laptop and I'm trying to find an application that will allow me to print to a USB connected printer on my iMac 27" computer. Could someone direct me to a version of Bonjour download that could help here?
Thanks,
JK

Hi,
You can share the folder on the server and map the shared the folder by using
Net use.
Then configure the mapped folder to work offline.
This should be worked fine.

Hi,
You need to configure folder redirection.
Folder redirection enables access local folders during the remote session. Click the + button at the bottom of the dialog and choose a folder you want to have
redirected.
Configure Folder Redirection:
1. Click the + button.
2. In the Add Local Folder window, enter the following information:
l
Name: Set a name for the folder to be available during the remote session.
l
Path: Select the path to the folder to be available during the remote session.
3. Click the close button to save the remote desktop.

Unable to connect to Deskjet 3545 via Wireless Direct from Windows 8.1 laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad E530)

Hi, It's a newly bought printer. I am unable to connect to the printer via Wireless Direct from Windows 8.1 64bit laptop. I have enabled the Wireless Direct with security on the Printer. Connected to the Printer SSID from my laptop wifi. Created the new printer from Driver software. It discovers the printer with it's name,IP etc; Upon selecting the printer and click on 'Next' button on the screen, results in a 5 min search process and finally displays that it could not connect. I have tried pinging the printer and it's able to pingf the IP of the printer successfully. I have even tried disabling the Norton antivirus, but result is the same. regards,sathwik

The link Kappy posted should give you peace of mind. I can tell you from personal experience that both the Canon EOS 550D and the Nikon D90 work seamlessly with OS X (10.6.4).
You can use iPhoto, Image Capture or Adobe Bridge CS4 to import and organise your photos. I would definitely recommend Bridge over the others, but Image Capture (pre-installed on all versions of OS X) is surprisingly good and offers a range of features.
Enjoy your shiny new Mac!

Possible to move itunes from windows formatted ipod to a mac?

I would like to move all my music from my windows formatted ipod to my mac book. Ive tried looking up info but get lost around the parts that only specify moving itunes from mac ipod to a windows...

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Senuti Mac Only
PodView Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac & Windows
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes Keyboard Shortcuts for OSX
Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed above your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Transfer files from Windows-formatted iPhone 3G to Mac

Hi I am trying to copy the songs/videos on my iPhone 3G which I update with my Windows PC to my new Mac.
How can I do that and reformat my iPhone without having to delete all the songs on it? Is there an external program I could use by any chance, since iTunes is limited in that sense?
And I really don't feel like paying to do this so please don't recommend some random software to purchase. Thanks in advance!

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer, and photos can be transferred to an iPhone from a single computer. When syncing iTunes content and transferring photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first. You can sync contacts, calendar events, and bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers.
ITunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content from an iPod or iPhone that was purchased from the iTunes store, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
With your iPhone connected to your MBP and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
Before syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your MBP, enter one unique contact in the Address Book and one unique calendar event in iCal. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later. If you have already entered some contacts and calendar events in the Address Book and iCal on your MBP, you can bypass this step. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing contacts and calendar events with the Address Book and iCal on your MBP, which you want to select.

Print from Windows XP to a shared Mac printer

My Mac is using OS 10.3.9 and I want to share my ML-1210 with a PC. I attempted to use CUPS but the PC claims the ML-1210 cannot be "shared". Is there a step-by-step process for sharing a Mac printer with a PC? Thanks.
1) I have installed the latest Samsung-GDI with foomatic and ESP ghostscript driver combination for my ML-1210 (which apparently is supposed to assist in sharing).
2) I added the printer on my PC linking it to my Macintosh as sharing;
3) When I attempted to print nothing happened. I opened the PC Print Center and found there was an error. When I opened properties/sharing on the printer I received an error message "Sharing is not supported for this kind of printer".
4) I'm almost positive I've seen postings on the web claiming that this printer has been shared. So I'm obviously still doing something wrong...
Thanks for your assistance

TS2570 Boot or Restore, can't see my Mac partition but can see my Windows7 partition. From Windows I can access my Mac files which I've backed up on a NTFS drive. I most probably will need to erase the Mac partition & make a new one, what happens to Boot

Hi,
When I boot my 2010 MacBook Pro I get a gray screen, when I try to do a Restore, the Mac partition is nowhere in sight, it sees my Windows Partition.
When I in Windows I can see all the files in the Mac Partition and I've backed up my Mac files on a NTFS external drive. My Windows partition has been working fine, I've installed it 2 years ago and have been receiving regular updates. Only problem is my display driver crashes occasionally.
I most probably will have to recreate the Mac partition and re-install Mountain Lion from the Mac servers. BUT, what happens to Boot Camp and my Windows 7 partition?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Unfortunately, there is no way to expand the partition upwards. As you noted, you would need to either start afresh, or simply find a good use for the first partition.

Backup from windows photoshop elemets 7 to mac os photoshop elements 10

Has anyone experiences how I can bring my backup, made on my former windows pc vista with the adobe photoshop elements 7.0 to my new iMac with photoshop elements10. The programm say that this ist not compatibel with mac??? I've got more than 40000 pictures
Thanx
Wolfgang

You can't, unfortunately. You need to install at least PSE 9 in windows and make a backup with that for the mac version to be able to read it. The format for the organizer database has changed since PSE 7. If you still have access to windows you can install PSE 10 from the boxed version or the trial and do your backup that way. But you will have to have access to a windows version of PSE 9 or 10 to make a backup that the mac version can read.

Importing songs from Windows-formatted iPod to a Mac

Because everyone knows that FireWire is a **** of a lot faster than importing from CD... When I run BrokenHelix with the iPod attached, the iPod doesn't register with the computer, so I can't import that way. I have a PC, but got a Mac to take to college, and I'd like to change the formatting. Anyone have any suggestions?

If the music is still on the PC this is what you'll want to get it on to your mac http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
then, one that's done you can use the iPod updater (in/Applications/Utilities on your mac) to format the iPod for your mac. but the windows formatting should still work on the mac.

Transition from Windows 2003 Terminal Sever to Mac Server

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.
We currently have a Windows 2003 terminal server hosted remotely, it's only function is to serve Quickbooks enterprise and to store documents, with a maximum of 8 simutaneous connections.
We would like to eliminate this service and do everything in-house with a Mac server. All of our 8 employees are now on Mac.
Here is my question: What would the ideal setup be? The problem is that Quickbooks is a Windows version. The Mac version is not as robust as we need so we need to stay with the Windows version.
Do we install Quickbooks on a virtual install of Windows on the Mac server using terminal service? Or should we install Quickbooks on each users Mac with virtual Windows and every file save, saved to the server without a windows install?
Thanks again for any advise!
John

We currently have a Windows 2003 terminal server hosted remotely, it's only function is to serve Quickbooks enterprise and to store documents, with a maximum of 8 simutaneous connections.
The quick answer is to move the server to you location. Now I am sure that statement alone will generate all kinds of responses. So I will attempt to explain my position:
1. Running QBE on a virtual server on a Windows system is not eagerly supported by Intuit much less running it on a virtual system on a Mac.
We would like to eliminate this service and do everything in-house with a Mac server. All of our 8 employees are now on Mac.
Here is my question: What would the ideal setup be? The problem is that Quickbooks is a Windows version. The Mac version is not as robust as we need so we need to stay with the Windows version.
2. The Ideal setup would be to have QBE running on a Windows Server (that you own and control) and continue to access it via RDP.
Do we install Quickbooks on a virtual install of Windows on the Mac server using terminal service? Or should we install Quickbooks on each users Mac with virtual Windows and every file save, saved to the server without a windows install?
3. Unfortunately QBE is not designed to work in that manner – both QBE and QB require a ‘QuickBooks’ data server this in turn requires a Windows box of some type. Also are you using the SQL Version of QBE as this will also impact which way you should go.
4. Though you could install Windows on all your Macs the cost to do so would be more that purchasing a Windows Server and managing it yourself.
- $80 ea for Parallels $640
- $299 ea for Windows XP $2392
I did not include Windows Server /w TS CALs as you will need to purchase this regardless which method you select – though purchasing Windows with a server is considerably cheaper than buying retail.
Finally I can understand your desire to work in a homogonous environment, though I am concerned that the amount of time required getting QBE running within a virtual environment be it Windows or Mac and installing Windows on your Macs may consume more time than you may be able to take away from your business.
Respectfully –

How can i transfer my music from windows 7 to a mini mac

I need some help as I bought a mini mac for more storage for my music on windows 7 and greater ease of use for managing my music library.
I also have an external hard drive full of music 750GB I was hoping to transfer.
I am now considering an external hard drive as a last resort to at least rip my several 100 cds as nothing has worked to date.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I'm a real Apple newbie
Thanks

Depending on the size of your music/video collection, an external HD is probably the best way to go.
I have nearly a Terabyte of music and videos and that simply won't fit on a Mini's 500Gb HD, so I keep it elsewhere.
Moving it is simply a matter of physically copying the files to the external HD and then pointing iTunes to the location.

Can't file share with iMac from Windows XP-Pro laptop

New to the game, but can't get Windows laptop to recognize iMac DVD. Need to download program to laptop which doesn't have DVD reader, just CD. AppleCare has the iMac end up and running. Any ideas? THanks.

I have exactly the same problem. I have a WD 500GB External HD connected to Airport Extreme. The MacBook works fine, but I can't get Windows XP (an HP PC) to log on through Airport Disk. I still can't get Airport Disk Agent working, but I find a way to connect to the HD. Here is what I did:
1. Checked my Nortel Firewall to make sure that my internal IP addresses are not blocked (10.0.1.1 to 10.0.1.200)
2. Created a simple disk password (I tried different options with or without accounts, but this works best for me)
3. Instead of using Airport Disk, I just go to Windows Explore, and map a network drive to \\10.0.1.1\My Book (put in the IP address of your Airport Extreme, and the name of your hard disk), then I type in my disk password (with no user account, and it works!!
If you can't log-in, may be you can try user account and see if it works better. And if you are like me having no idea what my harddisk name is, just type in \\10.0.1.1\ first and you should see your harddisk name.
Note that if you create user account, each account will have their own folder.
Hope it make sense to you. However I do hope Apple offer more guidelines and instructions on how to fix this soon. (Now if Apple can fix the VPN problem on another thread, then I'll be happy)
