Hopefully your printer is an AirPrint capable printer.  This article lists those printers, and provides instructions:

  • Just set up a new router, now I can't print to my wireless printer!

    Hi, so I'm really frustrated with this situation since I installed OS X Mountain Lion. I have a Samsung SCX-4623FW wireless printer, connected it to our wifi network (router: D-Link N 300 DIR-632). So it's all good, the wireless light is on so I know it's connected. I even printed out a configuration report to find out the IP address. Now my problem is, when I try to add a printer to my MacBook Pro (13" Inch, Late 2011) using the IP address and the following information:
    Protocol: Line Printer Daemon - LPD
    Use: Samsung SCX-4623FW Series (from Select Print Software...)
    It says: Unable to verify the printer on your network.
    Unable to connect to '[printer ip address]' due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?
    And I hit continue in case the error doesn't affect the wireless installation of the printer, I tried to test print a page on the internet and the status message of the printer says: The printer is not responding.
    So I reboot the computer, unplugged and reconnected the router AND modem and still nothing. I reset the settings on the printer, new IP address and everything. Still nothing. I can print via USB but I prefer wireless printing because there are 2 desktops, 2 laptops and multiple devices in the house and it's just not convenient.
    Can anybody please help? I'm all out of ideas. Many thanks in advance.

    Can any Macs in your home see the printer?
    That is to say, is it just Mountain Lion that is having the problem?
    What I'm wondering is if this is a router problem, or a Mountain Lion problem?  I'm trying eliminate as many variables as possible.
    Do you happen to know if the Samsung printer supports Bonjour (eg. Zeroconf) network discovery protocols?  You could download "Bonjour Browser"
    <http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/13388/bonjour-browser>
    to see if the Mac can see your printer via Bonjour protocols.
    Since you know the IP address of your printer, you could download "WakeOnLan" which will display every IP address is sees on your network, and check to see if it is in the list generated by WakeOnLan (NOTE: I do not want to wake anything up, but WakeOnLan does a really good job of finding and displaying every IP address is sees on the local network).

  • I shared too many pix and photos, now how can I delete them from my iPad?

    I shared too many photos and songs on my iPad. How do you delete albums? 

    How did the photos get onto the iPad ? Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly in the iPad's Photos app - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it (Edit button on iOS 6) in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from your computer can't be deleted directly in the Photos app - you either need to move/remove/de-select them from where they were synced from on your computer and re-syncing e.g. to remove a synced folder de-select that folder on the Photos tab and re-sync, to remove all synced photos select and sync an empty folder.  Depending upon what iOS version that the iPad is on, you might be able to delete all synced photos by swiping across the 'Photo Library' line in Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera (that should give you a Delete button but I haven't tried tapping it to see if it works).

  • I have a new iPad and tried to set up as new, then realized i needed to sign in as an existing itunes user.  I reset my new ipad as new, but now when I sign in using my existing ipad it backs up to the new one I just set up.  I need my itunes on new iTune

    You want to restore from the backup. Do not set up as new. You can read the article that Tom posted above, but it really is pretty simple.
    Transfer any purchases from the old iPad into iTunes, backup the old iPad in iTunes and them sync one more time.
    Connect the new iPad and when prompted during activation, restore from the backup that you just created and then sync with iTunes.
    The new iPad should be identical to the old iPad, but you will have to enter some passwords again on the new device.
    Transfer purchases.

    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    This link gives another overview of backup and restore:

    Be aware that photos should always be synced to a computer for archiving and that relying on a restore from an icloud backup may not return all (or any) of your photos.  Once on the computer, you can sync the photos to the new device...

  • Hello, I have installed a new Laserjet Pro M1217nfl using Wi-Fi. My laptop prints everything e-mails, Word documents etc. My iPad 3 (latest issue) only prints documents using Wi-Fi so has clearly recognised the printer. How can I prin e-mails using iPad 3

    Hello, I have installed a new Laserjet Pro M1217nfl using Wi-Fi. My laptop prints everything e-mails, Word documents etc. My iPad 3 (latest issue) only prints documents using Wi-Fi so has clearly recognised the printer. How can I print e-mails? Thanks.

    In the email you want to print, on the top right there is an arrow. Click that and an option should appear that says print. That should work. Have you already tried that?

  • In Yosemite, pasted objects in Photoshop Elements 12 automatically snap to the center of a new window. How do I stop this from happening?

    I installed Yosemite yesterday. Now, when I paste an image into a new window to combine it with another image, the layer or layers automatically snap back to the center of the new window. How do I stop this from happening?

    Thanks, Barbara. I don't use a trackpad on my iMac, just a mouse. However, I DID discover yesterday that if I press COMMAND-T (the command to Free Transform an image) I can then move the image where I want in the window. I need to use the command every time I move the image, which is annoying--in Mavericks, that Free Transform command was somehow the default.

    Ctrl+P usually does the trick... If it's not working for you you'll need to explain what exactly goes wrong. We're not mind-readers and can't help you without more detailed information about your set-up and the nature of the problem.

    One way would be to e-mail them from yourself to yourself. That would totally avoid the different ID issue.

  • How can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer or hard drive. My old computer died and I want to get my photos onto my new computer. Thanks in advance.

    HOw can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer? My old computer died with my photos on it but I want to move my photo library from my iPad or iPod to the computer I just bought. Thanks for any help you can give.

    Sorry but your iPhoto library is not on an iPad or iPod - you may have photos there (most likely low resolution copies) but not an iPhoto library - dying computers (along with software and human errors) are why you always must have a backup - now is the time to load it

    What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
    If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
    Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
                     GarageBand 6.0.5
    GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system.  But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio.  Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.

  • How can i transfer apps from an ipad to a brand new ipod?

    How can i transfer apps from an ipad to a brand new ipod?

    All of your apps should be on your computer.
    Just sync them to the new device.
    You can also redownload
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    Not all apps are compatible with both iphone/ipod and ipad.  Some are universal.
