Printer Unable to connect on Windows 8.1 64 bit based Lenovo Laptop.

We have HP LaserJet 3030 all in one printer installed on Windows XP Professional. We are using LAN network to connect the printer on network. But our Printer Unable to connect on Windows 8.1 64 bit based Lenovo Laptop. Also check for windows update for this issue. Please fix this quickly.

Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
If you can't get a working installer via the standard download links, try the following download links instead:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe

Unable to connect to Windows Printer

I have an HP Photosmart C3180 attached to my wife's Vista machine that I am unable to connect to. She had an XP machine until a few days ago that I had connected to via CUPS with smb://username@machine/share.
I've tried the same now that it's set up on the Vista machine with absolutely no luck, what I'm getting is the NTSTATUS_ACCESSDENIED messages when trying to print.

I suggest that the Vista system is refusing you permission to the resource.
You will have to look at the Vista end to fix this.
Is the printer shared in windows?
Is the firewall enabled?

Unable to Connect to Windows File Shares

Steps I take to attempt to connect to a Windows File Share within the office. Being relatively new to the Mac, I am curious on why I am not able to connect to Windows File Shares.
1. Command-K
2. Server Address: smb://[server-hostname]/[sharename]
3. Click Connect
4. Connecting To Server..... (takes a short amount of time)
5. SMB/CIFS File System Authentication
- I then enter the domain, username and password
6. Click OK
7. Error: Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct.
What gives? I have confirmed and validated server hostname, sharename, appropriate persmissions for windows account, etc. I have tried IP Address instead of hostname, same outcome.
Any Ideas?
MacBook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Arus, not really a Windows® expert, but I think I've seen were putting the Domain name in there fixed it, but I can't find the exact way to do it, this is the closest I could find...
"If I try to connect to smb://domain, that's when I can authenticate. If I try smb://machine/share, I still get the error -43."

Unable to connect to windows server using VMware after AppleSoftwareUpdate

Hallo,
we are using a Mac OS X Server 10.5.7 server to host our new business application's database. However, all the old data was stored on an old Windows NT 4.0 server using an Oracle database. We still have to access the old data using our former business application for backward compatibility on a regular basis. Because we were unable to move the data over we decided to create a virtual machine. Everything was fine and the VMware Fusion trial worked great. So we decided to buy your software. At the same time we have installed a few Apple updates (AirPort-Utiliy 2009-002, iLife-Support 9.0.3, Safari 4.0 and QuickTime 7.62) on the server. When we tried to run the business application on our clients - Windows 98 (they're accessing a shared folder containing the EXE mounted as a network drive) the applications just crashed after entering the username and password: "application caused an invalid page fault in module ..."
Is there any possibility of an incompatibility connected with the installed Apple updates ?

I would post your issue in the Printing & Faxing forum area. More chance for some of the gurus like Greg Sahli to respond.

FF4580 unable to connect Wireless - Windows 8

I have historically used the HP F4580 on XP and Windows 7 but not wirelessly. I have a new PC running Windows 8 64 Bit and am trying to re install the F4580 but would prefer it to run wirelessly.
I have downloaded the software and drivers from the HP website and the printer works fine using a USB connection.
I am trying to convert from USB to wireless using the HP installation and it states my SSID is not available.Even when I type in the SSID it states it is not avaialable. It then tells me the printer I have selected is not connected.
I have added the printer using the mac address to my router as a trusted source.
I have configured the wireless network direct from the device using the wizard and have an IP address for the printer.
The scan print states that wireless is up and running and working ok but I cannot print to it wirelessly. As soon as I remove the USB the printer is unavailable.
I have tried removing the printer and rebooting and reinstalling. I have disabled antivirus and firewalls but still am unable to print wirelessly.
Does anyone have any other ideas or have I missed something really simple.
Thanks

Unable to connect to Windows Live

Strange problem on my fully upgraded Arch system. Seems I'm able to connect to every website except Windows Live.
I can load live.com and see the login form. Attempting to submit the form (in Chrome) results in a timeout, followed by the error message:
"Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): Unknown error."
I can log into to the live.com website from other computers in my house, so there's nothing wrong with my ISP.
Attempting to connect to msn in pidgin results in a long wait, followed by: "Connection error from Notification server: reading error".
Here are the relevant sections from my pidgin -d output:
(00:34:46) util: Writing file /home/dugan/.purple/prefs.xml
(00:35:23) soap: read: Connection reset by peer
(00:35:23) soap: Received secure request.

My Pidgin msn connection settings are all at defaults: server: messenger.hotmail.com; port: 1863; use HTTP method: no; http method server: gateway.messenger.hotmail.com; Proxy type: Use Global Proxy Settings.
On my Slackware box, in the same room of my house, Pidgin has the exact same settings and has no trouble connecting to msn.
This problem has persisted at least since yesterday (when I noticed it).
What's going on?
BTW, I should mention that I had successfully used pidgin on Arch Linux just a week ago, with a 2.6.33.7 kernel and a TL-WN321G wifi dongle. Here is photographic proof. Now I have a 2.6.35-ARCH kernel and a TP-Link TL-WN722N, and live.com is not working.

I have the same issue.
can not connect to MSN since last upgrade on yesterday.
have no clue...
-----------------------edit------------------------------------------
I was using telepathy-butterfly as the backend to connect to MSN,
and it failed.
but if I changed to telepathy-haze (which use the same backend as Pidgin), it works.

Unable to connect to Windows computers on local network

We have several Windows XP computers on our local network. Some have shared folders, that we can upload/download files to/from.
Connecting to these Windows computers was no problem under Snow Leopard, but under Lion I cannot connect to any of them.
The shared computers show up in the Finder. I can see them in the sidebar, under the "SHARED" items. But I cannot connect to them.
If I select a computer to connect to, the Finder pops up the following error:
There was a problem connecting to the server "name".
The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
Also, I get the following error message in the system.log
Finder: SharePointBrowser::handleOpenCallBack returned 57

Unfortunately it does not work for me.
I can see the server in the Finder under the "Shared" list.
If I click on the server, the Finder gives me the error message I mentioned above. If I click "Connect to server" button nothing happens, but I get the same error message in the system.log. If I select the "Connect to Server" option from the "Go" menu I get the same errors. So I still cannot connect.

Unable to connect after windows update

window 7 updates and AVG updates occurred. Windows firewall is off and AVG firewall is not active. AVG was disable completely with not affect.

Is your whole network down, or just Firefox? Are there any error messages?
Contact your provider and have them test your service. Also, unplug your
modem. Wait about 30 seconds before plugging it in.
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the
previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as
trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

Unable to connect with Windows 7 laptop on home wireless network

When I initially set up my network, both computers were able to see each other. I could access the Mac's files on the Windows 7 PC, but not vice versa. The Mac required a user name and password when I clicked on the PC's icon in Finder, but wouldn't recognize anything I'd type in.
I tried duplicating the Mac network location and entering "WORKGROUP" under the WINS tab. This caused the Mac to lose sight of the PC altogether, and still can't see it when I switched back to the original location. The PC can still see the Mac.

I'm not sure if this help. I have a Macbook Pro with Magic Mouse in Window 7.
What I did was when you click on the Bluetooth >> Add a Device, the Magic Mouse will show in the pop up window.
Do not click "Next", instead right click on the Mouse and select "Properties".
Under "Services" tab, checked "Drivers for keyboard, mice etc (HID). Then click "Apply". Driver will be installed once is done click "OK"
Then click "Cancel" on the Add a device windows. The magic mouse should be connected now and shown in the Bluetooth Device list.
Hope this help, at least it does works for me. Cheers

Unable to connect to Windows share

I had this problem before, I have no idea how I fixed it. I cannot connect to my Windows machine via Finder any more. I hooked a printer up to that machine, shared it, decided to add a guest account for others to access it. And bam, can't connect to the Windows machines via OS X.
I've ran the network setup wiz on the machine and made sure file sharing was on. I disabled the firewall. I can connect to the machine perfectly fine via a Linux box and another Windows machine.
Finder sees the server in the server list. Clicking on it just has Finder connecting indefinitely.
Finder->Connect to Server hangs for a bit and then returns:
There was an error connecting to the server “192.168.1.156”. Check the server name or IP address, and then try again.
Mounting via the command line fails:
mount -t smbfs //[email protected]/shows shows
mount_smbfs: mount error: /Users/Giblet/Movies/shows: Broken pipe
But smbclient works and lists information just fine.
smbclient -U giblet -W workgroup -L 192.168.1.156

Yup! Thanks. But ya know what.. I'm so used to not rebooting my Macs.. Reboot fixed it. Now to figure out how to get the printer work.

Unable to connect to Windows Server SBS 2011

I connect to a Windows network. We recently upgraded to a Windows Small Business Server 2011 server from a Windows SBS 2003. Previously I had been able to connect and view all files. I am no longer able to. I can see the server, but whenever I try to log in, it says that I have the wrong name or password. I have tried many different combinations of the domain as per my network admin. How can I connect? Is there something different I have to do. Please help me as my boss will force me to use a pc if I cant connect.
Thanks

HT3204 Unable to connect a Windows 7 Dell laptop to iTunes store.

Running Windows 7 on Dell laptop. iTunes will not connect to store. Merely says connecting... but nothing happens. I see a white screen saying iTunes Store. Does not work even when I shut down the Vipre firewall. Note that my wife's PC on same cisco router at home connects to the store using both her and my apple id's.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Hmmm, why news.com.com?
I doubt it'll help with the Certificate, but might try CoVNC...
