TS1253 Connection with printer works, but keeps dropping

I can connect the computer to the airport-connected printer, but need to reconnect each time I want to print.  Why does the connection keep dropping, and what can I do to keep it from happening (using pc running windows 8 and hp photosmart c4780).

Hi Frank2013,
I am having the same problem. Was wondering if you ever figured out the solution? My set up was working fine for years until I moved. Now it doesn't work. I have to re-setup the connection every time I want to print. The only difference in my new place is the internet is AT&T DSL, where as before I had Verizon Fios. Do you think this is causing the problem?
Anyone out there in Apple Support Land have some answers for us? I am desperate!
Thanks.

  • I have a new Airport Extreme that works great with my IMac but keeps dropping out on our Windows 7 PC.  I have tried all 11 2.4 Ghz channels and they all have dropout issues.  Any suggestions?

  • I unlocked a iPhone4 thru ATT, then installed a TMobile SIM. The phone works, but keeps dropping service.  Can I do a Restore with the TMobile SIM in it?

    I successfully unlocked an ATT iPhone4 with ATT SIM, then installed a TMobile SIM. After TMobile walked me thru some manual Setting changes, the phone works.  However, now it keeps dropping service.  Can I do a Restore with the TMobile SIM in it?

    Nope. It still switches between service, 'no service', 'searching', and then I get service for a while.  Very frustrating.  I live in a 2G area, which I thought might be the problem, but had it in a 3G area today and still lost service randomly. 
    I guess I will have to go to the TMoblile store and ask for another SIM. 
    Any other suggestions?
    They told me that if the phone was not a TMobile phone, they do not guarantee service.
    This is a Pay-As-You-Go plan.  Wondering if there is a compatibility issue with the iPhone hardware/firmware and the TMobile SIM?
    My old TMobile Samsung t249 with the same plan did not have this problem.

  • I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. After connecting my HP Photosmart D110 to it, the printer works but the scanner doesn't. The message is"The scan cannot be performed because another program has control of the HP imaging device". Can anyone help?

    Found the answer on the HP site. It's the original software that works with this printer OS X 10.6!!

  • I have the new iOS 6.1.2 on my iPad.  My wifi connects to my home network but keeps dropping it and won't reconnect.  Did not have this problem with previous iOS.

    I have the new iOS 6.1.2 on my iPad.  My wifi connects to my home network but keeps dropping it and won't reconnect.  Did not have this problem with previous iOS.  Apple, you have a quality assurance issue.  Don't be like Microsoft where they send out pieces of junk with testing it.

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • TC 2 TB A1409 Wan internet connection no longer working but light is still green?

    TC 2 TB A1409 Wan internet connection no longer working but light is still green?
    My TC and modem have been up and running for at least the last 2 years without any issues.
    It recently started acting up and I would have restart it as I had no internet access. All of a sudden My TC stopped connecting to internet regardless of restart. Utility shows i have no internet connection. I had all the correct green lights on my modem. I figured it might be the modem and connected directly to single ethernet port in modem to my mac book and it worked. When I reconnect modem to TC and restart Modem, TC still shows no internet connection in utility even though I'm getting green sync light on TC.
    Help Please.
    I'm out of warranty, I have not reset to default yet, Im not sure if I will loose my TC back up data.
    please advice

    The Gen4 has some nasty faults.. mostly unrepairable...
    If the WAN is gone it becomes pretty well useless at least in its current role as router.
    You might still be able to plug it in by ethernet to a LAN port in bridge.
    Do try a full factory reset.. always worth a go.
    No files will be lost on the hard disk.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Check the ethernet LED is going on.. both on the modem and the TC WAN port.
    Do you have any applecare on a computer? If so it might cover the TC.. the rules are complicated but if the TC was bought within 2years before or after the computer it is covered up to max of 3years. You can still get coverage therefore if the TC is over 1 year but less than 2 years by buying applecare now on a computer or an Apple TV which is not too expensive. You can sell off the Apple TV without even opening it.. but use the applecare on it to get your TC replaced.
    Only the very first Gen4 will be up to 3years.
    Did you have a lightning storm or something btw?? Sometimes the modem can survive and pass the parcel to the TC which seems rather fragile.
    There is also a trick to test..
    You must have v5 airport utility.. any older Macs, or windows computer you can load on 5.6 utility .. even dual boot/parallels mac.
    Go to the WAN setup.. and set the ethernet port to 10mbit half duplex.
    Sometimes a damaged port can still manage the slowest speed.. by magic.

  • Since the last update to iTunes 11.0.3 (42) the airplay connection is not working properly , keeping breaking up

    since the last update to iTunes 11.0.3 (42) the airplay connection is not working properly , keeping breaking up, while the airplay works fine with my iPad and iPhone. Anyone has experienced the same? any fix available?

    Hi Erdelestre,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities!
    See this article for some tips about troubleshooting AirPlay:
    Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4215
    Troubleshooting performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
    If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express. Try the following suggestions:
    Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Turn off Bluetooth on your iOS device by tapping Settings > General > Bluetooth.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your Apple TV and iPhone/iPad.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • Is it possible to get iPhone audio (telephone calls) from Lightning connection? Music works, but calls switch to internal or extenral speakers, not lightning (for e.g. docking station, car...)!

    Is it possible to get iPhone audio (telephone calls) from Lightning connection? Music works, but calls switch to internal or extenral speakers, not lightning (for e.g. docking station, car...)!
    I want to get the audio out of the lightning connection (the way you get audio when you connect it to a dock). It works properly with music, but when making a telephone call, it switches to the internal speraker. You can change to the external spekers, but you cannot select another audio out. It's also possible to get the telephone audio from the analogue connection, but that's not what I want. I want telephone audio from lightning...
    Would be so great if anybody has an idea

    I must also say that the second update ruined my Lumia's battery life.
    With the first (out-of-the-box) update the phone usually had 30 percent of battery after a quite hard day (e.g. more than an hour of talking via bluetooth handsfree, more than two hours of listening to the music via bluetooth, more than an hour of browsing via wifi, and reading hundreds of e-mails via two mail accounts). I never managed to discharge it after one day (e.g. 14-16 hours) of continous use, no matter how much I talked, listened and browsed.
    Now, with the secod update, it discharges to 20% after 12 hours of laying still almost without use (30 mins of music, less than 15 mins of talking and nothing more), and discharges completely with the usage pattern described above.
    Did the second update contain some Android code?

    Should I check the memory cards themselves? Reseat them?
    Yes.
    Memtest X or Rember to test the RAM.
    Reseat is also good.
    The iPhone 4 doesn't like USB 1.1 much.
    after the update the computer was working well, except for this freeze when ever I connect iPhone.
    I'd try USB 2.0 PCI. That's how I connect my iPhone 4s, and have connected all iPhones and iPods, to my G4.
    Never an issue.
    Can't say the same for USB 1.1.......
    The above (previous post) linked PCI card is cheap enough.
    Want cheaper, try this:

    The NEC chipset is the desired chipset, regardless of what OS the maker says is compatible.
    OS X has native NEC chipset USB support.
