Trying to connect a Photosmart 6520 e to a Mac with OS10.6.8 wirelessly.

The printer recognizes the the network and connects to it (I downloaded software update). The computer does not see the printer at all. I hooked it up with USB and it could see the printer and print but I need the wireless connection. The internet rounter is from Comcast and it is hooked up to an Apple Airport Extreme. Have rebooted printer, router, Airport, and computer. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi morgan149,
Does the printer have a valid IP address (Example: 192.168.1.101)?
If so, can you type the printers IP address into Safari, and see printer information from the EWS - Embedded Web Server?

You can purchase recovery disks from HP. Here is a webpage showing you how to do that:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=bph07143
If HP no longer supplies your specific recovery disk, you can usually find one from a 3rd party site, such as www.restoredisks.com for between $20 and $30.

Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

Thanks for the interest. Preferences are similar on both machines: screen sharing, file sharing, printer sharing & scanner sharing all ticked and radio button for Screen Sharing is ON.
My confusion is that I can get a network connection to the iMac by selecting "go to server" on the PowerMac running 10.5.8 but am unable to make the iMac connect to the PowerMac using similar selections. When ethernet cable is plugged in the PowerMac shows up on the finder bar on the iMac, but it does not allow either screen sharing or connection to occur - a dialog box tells me to check System Prefs and Network connection.
I'm hoping to export a large file of photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my wife's PowerMac and hoped to achieve this with an ethernet network connection.

I have an Ipod Touch 4G, Although I have tried two connection leads to the computer, it comes up with the message ' Itunes could not connect to "Dads Ipod" because an invalid response was received from the device'. I can access the contents of the device via the connection leads using 'My Computer' but not through Itunes as the message always appears!! Using WinVista Homebasic. Is this a known fault with the Ipod4 and VISTA? It works okay on a laptop, however, I would like an expert to take me through the steps to sort out my home desktop computer? Please help? Thanks in advance

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

...connect to a shared folder on a MAC with director 11???

Hi All,
I developed a project a few years ago that work as follows.
This was designed to work on Win XP, using Director MX2004
Server Setup
All the media files where installed on a server and the folder they resided in was setup as a shared folder.
Workstation Setup
A projector was installed on a workstation PC, along with the director projector, a txt file was install, the txt file contained the unc path to where all the media files resided. i.e. all director & video file etc.
The projector file would read the text file, get the unc path, and open the appropriate dxr file.
This worked really well.
My question is, now I'm upgrading the software to Director 11, it is required to work the same way on MAC OSX. The only difference to the system will be that the media files will reside on a MAC server and the workstations will be MACs (Intel MACs running the latest OSX).
How can you connect to a shared folder on a MAC with director 11?
Its not '\\share_name'... should 'afp:\\share_name' work???
I keep getting the can't find 'myfile.dxr' alertbox
I hope I've explained myself well enough.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

Using a similar technique you could write the name of the mounted volume (just the name in this case, not the full path) to a text file and open it with a separate AppleScript app containing the applescript below. Note that any files you have accessed from the volume will probably have to be unlinked before Finder will be able to eject it.
on open (theFile)
set theVolume to readFile(theFile as text)
if (theVolume is "") then
    return false
end if
try
    tell application "Finder"
      eject theVolume
    end tell
    return true
on error
    return false
end try
end open
on readFile(theFileName)
try
    set theFileRef to (open for access file theFileName)
on error
    return ""
end try
try
    set theText to (read theFileRef)
on error
    set theText to ""
end try
close access theFileRef
return theText
end readFile

Printers do not have any routers built into them. You buy a wireless router separately.

Why do I get "Unknown user name or bad password" on Windows 7 when trying to connect to an SMB share on my Mac?

Before installing the update to 10.7.3 I could connect to an SMB share on my Mac from Windows 7 but I can't any longer. When I try I get the error "Unknown user name or bad password" on the Windows 7 system.
When I try to connect using the "net use..." command I get the error: "System error 86 has occurred".
Does anyone know how to resolve this? What really confuses me is that it was working fine until I installed the update to 10.7.3.

Check the Wins Tab in the Advanced section of Network in system preferences.
If you don't have the same workgroup name and the correct NetBIOS name showing up in the WINS tab you will get the Bad username or password.
I know I deal with this everyday.
There is something wrong with Lion and it does not automatically fill in those entries in the WINS tab.
What I have to do on every reboot/startup is open System preferences go to Sharing and uncheck File Sharing then recheck it. That will fill in the WINS tab entries.

Can anybody help please. All the other devices in my house are working well, no internet problems at all. Mavericks on my MacBook is fine with the internet.

I am trying to connect to my work PC from my mac

I currently use the microsoft remote desktop connection for mac but I hate how small the screen is. Does anyone know a better program that would let me view my entire work pc screen from my mac?

You can just login and see everything ...
On the PC enable Sharing for C: and make sure you know a username and password that has at least read access
On the Mac go to System Preferences/Sharing, check File Sharing then hit the Options button
Check the third box 'Share files and folders using SMB (Samba for windows)
Some of your usernames should be showing there check at least one (I have an account created in Accounts called user just for this purpose)
Click Done and close the Sharing panel
On the Desktop go to the top menu bar and select Go/Connect to Server and when that window opens enter smb://name of your PC and enter - when the dialogue opens enter the name of a user account on your PC and it will then mount C:

I am trying to connect to an external projector

I have a 15" Macbook pro running Windows XP Pro bootcamp, I am trying to connect to an external projector using the Mac mini dvi to vga adaptor, I have now tried two different adaptors but still I cannot get the display to work.
Does anyone know if there is an update that needs to be installed or additional drivers that may need to be installed for this to work?
Anyone out there have any ideas?

While trying to connect / configurate a second airport express it has suddenly can´t be found by the computer/ airport express manager. Any suggestions to how I can "find" it again?

I have tried to connect a second airport express to my Mac. But the configuration was interrupted and now I can´t find the second airport on the Airport Express manager display. Although I find it on network/ system settings. I appriciate any suggestions!

Hold in the reset button on the AirPort Express for 7-8 seconds, then release and allow 40-45 seconds for a restart to a slow, blinking amber light. Then reconfigure the device again.
You can also temporarily connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to the Express to establish a direct connection for the setup, rather than using wireless. Once you have the Express configured, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable.

Trying to connect HP officejet all-in-one! assitant does not support router??

I am trying to connect HPOfficejet 7410 All-in-One which is wirless enabled to my wireless netowork. Getting message," HP NETWORK ASSISTANT does not currently support the router that is connected to your system." Does this mean that I cannot setup this printer with the router I have? Or is there another way I can connect it without using the Network assistant? The router I have is a Linksys Router Model # WRT110 . I have tried to find another router that was in the list of "supported routers" with no luck. I have looked everywhere. Please if someone could help! Let me know if you need more info to answer my question. Thanks!

Actually, its not that the youre router is not ocompatible with the HP Network Assistant. Maybe yuore router has a very secure network security thats why the wireless assistant could not connect the printer to youre router
- The other way to connect the printer to your wireless network is to run the wireless setup wizard on the printer.
- Step 1. Press the set up button on the printer and press the right arrow then navigate & look for netwok menu then press ok.
- Step 2. press the right arrow and look for wireless setup wizard
- it will look for youre wireless router and try to select your router the enter the security key(WEP or WPA) if you have one.
- after that it will prompt you that the printer is connected to your network
