Printing to a C3180 printer wirelessly from a macbook and windows XP PC
OK, this is crazy. I followed the steps ifelix outlined in his links, and much to my satisfaction, everything worked great.......for about a week. Suddenly, I cannot print to the HP anymore from either the macbook wirelessly (I get the 10.0.1.1. is busy message), or the windows XP PC connected to the Airport! If I attach the printer directly to each computer, it functions fine. Any thoughts? I cannot understand why it worked for a while and then suddenly..poof!
Have you tried deleting from Printer Setup and re-Adding?

My MG8120 won't print wirelessly from my MacBook running OS 10.9.5. Works fine with HP printers.
My MG8120 won't print wirelessly from my MacBook running OS 10.9.5 (Mavericks). It works fine with all of the other HP printers in the office. Another user has the same problem with her PC running Windows 7. And she, too, has no problems printing on the other HPs. I or she cannot print to any of three Canon printers in the office.
Hi,
Please try the following steps,
Download every updates from Apple and HP
Reset or Delete the printer from your mac (it may work trhough USB)
Reset all settings into default settings on your printer
Turn off or unplug mac, printer, modem, router
Plug everything and reboot all
Reconnect the printer to home wifi network and mac also reconnect to the correct network

I am trying to set up using my printer wirelessly through airport. I have a macbook and my husband can print wirelessly from his Macbook Pro but I can't. What do I have to do to set mine up? The printer is an Epson R2400
Is there a cd that came with the printer?
If so, put in the cd and that will help you set it up.
If not, I think macs come with a program that helps you set up printers.
Also make sure that the printer is connected to the same network.
Make sure the printer is on. -
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?

What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?
What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?
Any printer that visibly supports OS X will work fine. My personal recommendation is Brother, followed rather distantly by Canon.
Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
The third and subsequent choices are so far down from those two they're not worth mentioning. I have grown to dislike HP printers, for all the above reasons.
Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.
Consider AirPrint compatibility for future needs. Those features add very little to the price over a USB - only or wireless printer. Understand that not all wireless printers are AirPrint compatible - AirPrint must be specifically indicated. Choose among this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
After OS X compatibility, the next consideration should be the cost of consumables. Laser printers are cheaper than inkjets in that regard.
Here is a list of AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices -
No Print To File option in Photoshop Lightroom (Mac OS and Windows)
Q - Where do I find the "Print To File" option in Photoshop Lightroom (Mac OS and Windows)?
A - Photoshop Lightroom does not have the ability to print to file, but some print drivers can access the ability of the operating system to print to file. See
TechNote for further information.If you use print to file then you get a file that is meant to be send to a printer and that file has all kind of formatting code for that specific printer.
Opening such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use a text only printer to print the file to, so make sure that such a printer is installed and selected. -

I can airprint from my macbook and imac but not my iphone and ipad, whats wrong?
I'm aware that all printers are not airprint enabled but since i can print form my imac that should not be a problem right?Hey Fredrik68,
I would double check and see if you meet all the requirements for AirPrint here, including the printer model:

Can i use my time capsule to wirelessly backup my macbook and its external hard drive, which up until now was it's time machine and storage? How?
The external drive must be connected to the Mac using either USB or FireWire
You must remove the external hard drive from the list of items that are "excluded" from backups in Time Machine Preferences.
Here's how:
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Time Machine
Click Options
Look for the name of the hard drive in the list of "excluded" items and click on it to highlight it
Click the -- (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the hard drive from the list of "excluded" items....so it will now be backed up
Strongly recommend that you do the first backup using Ethenret from your computer to the Time Capsule since the entire contents of the external drive will be copied on the first pass. Ethernet will be 3-5 faster than wireless.
Once you have the first backup done, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will nornally be much smaller....unless you add large files to the external drive. -
My Apple TV all of a sudden refuses to show the movies from my MacBook and says it needs to set time network. What is that?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV should set it's time automatically from the network time server, if it isn't doing this try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds, if this fails try resetting or restoring it. -
Hi all,
I’ve looked around Google and here and I can’t find a definitive answer to my question so hopefully you guys can give me some advice
I bought the Office package in 2011 when it was new and installed it on my Macbook. I now plan to buy an iMac for the purpose of studying so I'd like to remove it from my Macbook and transfer it to the new Mac. My Macbook is running on the current highest software (the name escapes me at present, I'm not on it to check) and I assume the Mac will be too. If I were to uninstall everything, would I be able to use the same disc (i.e. same unique code) on the other computer? I believe I only have the 1 disc 1 Mac version so can't have two running with the same software.
Ideally I'd not like to buy another Office package so any advice would be much appreciated. I realise I may not have much choice though...!
Many thanks for your assistance.
Kind Regards,New Mac's come with OS X 10.8 so you would have to check compatibility of your software with the new OS X versions.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Next you will have to check if the software will install or not on 10.8 from the disk, since the disk is static it can't change for newer OS X versions, however the software itself might run fine if a more recently updated version is downloaded and installed, then the license key entered.
Far as licensing concerns, you will have to check with the developer how to go about deauthorizing, uninstalling and getting a new license key for the new machine or if you can continue to use the existing one.
Most licenses are for one machine, however some can be multiple machine packs.
If you don't exactly need Office specifically to work with other Office users, you can also install the free LibreOffice and it can open your Office files.
The thing with Office is it's widely used in businesses, so if you learned it already then it doesn't make much sense to continue using it and paying money for only personal use.
https://www.libreoffice.org/
LibreOffice is truly cross platform, Linux, OS X and Windows. The files are easily exchange and many Mac users are thrilled using it apparently as the developers have commented a great deal of Mac users are installing it.
If you have trouble installing, it's likely Gatekeeper security that's on the new 10.8 machines, simply hold control key and click on the installer/program and select "Open" and it will remmeber it's a trusted program from then on. -

Can a Mini use a hard disk from a Macbook and boot OK?
My Macbook in the shop getting repaired for the RSD problem. I pulled the 120GB HD I had installed and put in the factory HD when I sent it out.
I needed a computer so I bought a Mac Mini with only a 80GB HD. My question is; can I swap out the HD and let the mini use the OS X install from the Macbook and boot up properly or is it like windows and the version of the OS is slightly different due to the hardware?
MacMini 1.83GHz & Macbook 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7)Hello,
I've done this with the PowerPC Macs (PowerPC to PowerPC), and it's always worked fine.
You should be fine doing this as well. Just don't install it in a PowerPC system since it's an Intel version of OS X.
But, you'll be fine. Understand that you'll likely void the warranty on the Mac Mini, and that removing the drive will be a lot more work than it was in the MacBook.
But, it will work fine.
If you don't want to risk the warranty on the Mini, then you may want to just get an external FireWire or USB 2.0 portable hard drive enclosure to install the hard drive in (make sure it's Serial-ATA). And, then you can either boot from the external drive, or use that drive to clone it to your Mini's internal drive.
I hope this helps.

Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?
I currently have a 2009 Macbook and am wanting to upgrade to a new Macbook Pro. I have upgraded my hard drive in the macbook to a 500gb and have a duel boot with Windows 7 installed with Boot Camp along with other software that I do not want to lose. Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?
A much better solution is to hook your two Mac together and the first time you start the new Mac and it asks if you wish to recover data from another Mac, answer yes. This will invoke Setup Assitant which will do the job for you but intelligently.
I know because I just used Setup Assitant. It worked like a charm.
