Trouble connecting Canon MX300 to AE

I previously was able to share an older HP printer through my airport. Just got a new canon mx300 and am having trouble.
When I first configured the printer, i had to do it with the USB plugged in -- otherwise the printer never showed up in the printer list.
any ideas? thanks!

Hey Everyone,
It turned out that the iMac did not like the Rocket cable that was being used. Connected my Canon HV40 to the iMac with a Belkin firewire 800 cable and the camera was immediately recognized.
Much thanks to Aplle Genius Joe at the Emeryville, CA store for being persistent taking lots of time with me. Thank you Joe!!!

Trouble Connecting Canon, Sony Cameras

I am a teacher and I have a new batch of G5 iMacs for my Yearbook class. Unfortunately, I am having a problem with Mac OS recognizing the cameras when they are connected. Usually a camera will show up like a disk icon when attached via USB and powered on. This works fine with my Casio Exilim camera.
However, I have some students with Canon and Sony cameras that will not be recognized by Mac. I figured out that some cameras will be recognized only when you open iPhoto and the camera appears in the Source window.
I am a long-time Mac user and I love Mac, but I hate iPhoto. We use Photoshop to correct photos and having to use the iPhoto interface for importing/archiving is a pain. I just want the students to open the camera, copy their jpegs onto the hard drive and edit in Photoshop.
Am I missing a Setting or Preference that is making it so that my camera will only be seen in iPhoto? Why would this be the case for some cameras, and not others? Thank you for your feedback.

Jason:
Canon cameras never have been able to mount on the desktop as removable media. As already been mentioned, if iPhoto won't recognize it you can use Image Capture to manually view and upload the photos to the desktop and then go from the desktop into iPhoto. Image Capture will allow the students to upload only those photos the want.
As far as the Sony, check in the various menus on the camera for the option that PhillyPhan mentioned. In some Sony cameras it's under Setup 2 menu and the item is USB Connect and the options are Normal, PTP and PictBridge. I think you want to choose PTP.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Trouble connecting Canon Vixia HV 40 over Firewire, should I use FW800?

iMovie won't recognize my Canon Vixia HV40 using my standard firewire 400 port (6-pin). I saw another thread discussing this issue indicating that this may be due to other devices on the firewire chain, so I'll try the direct connection, but it's a nuisance since I store all my digital media on my Firewire drives.
But my iMac also has a Firewire 800 port (4-pin), that I don't use. Does anyone have a perspective on using the Firewire 800 port?
Thanks,
Eric

As noted in other posts, Canon recommends that the camcorder be the only device connected to the Firewire port, and that it is powered with an adaptor rather than battery. Presumably, these condition are met by having only the camcorder plugged into the firewire 800 port but other devices plugged into the firewire 400 ports (although I did try with them disconnected as well). That takes care of getting the camera recognized, but with iMovie 9, my iMac did not have the resources to pull more than 10 minutes of in full HD video. However, iMovie 6 did import the 1080i HD video in real time - I have not checked to see if there are any differences in the quality of HD video between iMovie 6 and iMovie 9, but my immediate need was to get the movies (game films) onto DVD asap, and iMovie 6 helped me do that.

Trouble connecting/printing to Canon copy machine and printer with iMac

I'm having trouble connecting to/printing off of my new imac, to the network(wireless) printer at work. The printer is a Canon iR advance c5051. When I try printing it keeps giving me a message stating that I did not use the correct password or ID, 15513. It shows up in my computer's printer cue, but does not show up on the actual Canon printer's cue. The print driver has already been installed, so I'm not sure what's going on. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!

Im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

I've found that the order of operations, so-to-speak, can be important when hooking up mini display port to HDMI. I have the most success with the following operations in this order:
1) Plug HDMI cable into mini displayport adapter (the cable should not be plugged into either the TV or the computer at this point)
2) Plug the mini displayport end of your new super-cable to the computer.
3) Plug the HDMI end into your TV.
4) Switch inputs on your TV to the proper input.
5) If still nothing on the TV, try a different HDMI port on your TV.
Hopefully this helps! Good luck.

Trouble connecting macbook to N600

We just connected a E2500-NP using a macbook. All of our other devices (iphone, itouches, nexus, PC) connect and run at regular speed. My macbook (the one used to install the router) connects but loads web pages incredibly slowly. We reinstalled the old router to see if there was a problem with the macbook. It loads webpages at normal speed with old router. The nexus and itouches have trouble connecting with old router. The macbook is connected to this website with no problem but if I try to do a search on something else it loads incredibly slowly.
Please help!!

How did you connect the macbook computer? Is it through hardwired or wireless connection? You can adjust the router’s mtu – by using this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=fbf8e8564632422eaa8ea80bf9dcba64_386.xml&pid=80&re... – if the concern is regarding the router’s hardwired connection. You can also use this link: http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ to help determine the best channel to be set on the router and to improve the router’s wireless performance.

Trouble Connecting MacBook to Netgear WGT624

Hello, I just got a MacBook and am having trouble connecting to my netgear WGT624 wireless router. We've had the router for some time with a PC connected via ethernet. This is the first time trying to connect wirelessly.
I click on System Preferences.
Then Network.
Then Connect.
Under the Network drop down menu, I have two Network choices available...our router's name, and another name, probably a nearby wireless router.
When I choose our router, I get the pinwheel thingy spinning around, and then a message: "There was an error joining the AirPort network "router name here."
When I click on the other nearby network name, I get connected, and the signal strength is 4 out of 15.
What do I need to do to connect to my home's wireless router?

No need to re-install software. There should be a reset button or hole somewhere on the router. Either press the button or use a paper clip inside the hole for about 10 seconds. This should reset your router to all the default settings.
From there, once you log onto your router's setup screen, you will need to put in your regular settings (username, password, security settings, etc.). If you use security, your neighbor should not be able to access to your wireless connection.
Good Luck.

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. It is not an issue with the service/router. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport... anyone know what's up with this?

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?

Try this:
Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.
Apply this.

I'm having trouble connecting my iphone to my itunes on my computer

So for christmas I got an iPhone and currently, I'm having trouble connecting my iPhone to my iTunes on my computer. If I get on my computer and open my iTunes, I can use it perfectly fine but once I tried to connect my phone to it, it told me the software needed to be updated before it would work with my phone. I went to the website and tried downloading the updated version 10 times but every time it told me it couldn't connect with an apple device or something. So then I tried just going to my downloads and stuff and moving the actual song straight to my phone but it would always tell me my device has ended or has been disconnected. All I'm trying to do is move some songs onto my phone from my computer. They weren't purchased straight from iTunes so it's not showung up in my "purchased" on my phone. (I think I got them from amazon and some are cds that I my computer that I got years ago. Maybe thats why they don't show up in the purchased?) Anyway, how can I fix this? I have a windows computer if that can help at all. Thanks!!!

Also, I just opened my iTunes on my computer then plugged my phone to the computer and a box popped up saying "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device is not started"
I have no idea what that means.
I don't have that option on the side that says what device is connected so I can't sync or anything.

Trouble connecting new iMac to exisiting PC/Linksys network

I just bought a new iMac and am having trouble connecting to my existing Linksys wireless network. My PC connects wirelessly fine, and the iMac connects if I use the Ethernet connection. However, it says I have "Incompatible Security" when I try to use the built-in Airport wireless connection.
My network is WEP encrypted. I use one of the encryption keys for my PC. I was using 10 128-bit hex. Is there anything special or unique I need to do for the Mac? For example, for the Mac do I also use the 10 or 26 character key, or just the "Passphrase" (as described by Linksys)? Searching the net, I have found old posts suggesting I need to use quotation marks or $ sign in front of the key, but that advice seems outdated.
BTW - I am having the same problem with my new iTouch.
Your help is appreciated.

Thanks for posting back when you found the solution.
Just to close things up as to why this would be a problem:
WEP allows for 4 different keys to be configured. Key 1 is used to encrypt the data sent out from the device (either client or access point). When data is received, either of Keys 1-4 can match what is received.
Since OS X only uses Key 1, if Key 1 on your access point doesn't match, it won't be able to decrypt anything that the access point sends back.
The other keys are very rarely used.

I had trouble connecting my External hard drive

I had trouble connecting my External hard drive (My passport WD) with my macbook. It worked before but not now. The external hard disk is blinking and is spinning but just not showing up on my computer. I tried looking in disk utility and no theres no sign of the disk showing up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, I saw a post on one of these threads about a powered USB hub so I ran over to Office Depot and picked one up. I was finally able to see the HD in the Airport Utility. Yay!

If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, there is a hardware problem.

I'm having trouble connecting to apps, itunes store, internet on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4. I am currently connected to a perfectly running WiFI connection. Why am I not able to connect anything? I've tried ALL the fixes suggested. HELP!!!!!!!!!

I'm having trouble connecting to apps, itunes store, internet on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4. I am currently connected to a perfectly running WiFI connection. This just started happening today (2/19/14)! Why am I not able to connect anything? I've tried ALL the fixes suggested. HELP!!!!!!!!! BTW, I know my Wi-Fi connection is good because I'm using it on my desktop and other people in my office are also connected on their iPhones and desktops. Again, HELP!!!!

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPhone a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.
