Using printer as wireless and USB cable hook-up:

I have a HP 4502 e all- in-one printer and I want to use it with my old computer with a USB connection and my laptop with a wireless connection. Can I do this without having to disconnect my USB cable to my old computer?

Hi,
YES you can have both USB and wireless connection for the same printer. For this you have to install the software on both the computers. For your laptop connect it wirelessly and for your desktop connect it through the USB cable.

Print using both wireless and USB cable

Hello,
My officejet pro 8500 wireless is connected wirelessly to my LAN but my company blocks local access to printers while on VPN.
Only way I can print on local printers wirelessly is if I disconnect from VPN or if I somehow attach directly via USB. Can I just take a USB cable to the docking station and will my laptop recognize it or will it mess up the wireless setup. I like to use both options.

Yup, that is the nature of VPN.
You can run a USB to your docking station. You just have to have two instances of the printer in your list of printers - one for network and one for USB. Name them (right click > rename) something clever like ...Network and ...USB.

Can I print both wireless and USB to same HP 8625 printer from different computers?

I Just installed a new HP Officejet Pro 8625 printer which is connected to my desktop computer via a hard wire USB connection. I also have a separate PC which is used for connecting to my Wi-Fi network. Can I have the same printer connected to one computer via a hardwire USB connection and enabled to perform wireless printing from another computer?

Trouble connecting playbook to windows PC when using AVG Internet Security and USB cable ?

I have spent ages trying to get my PC (windows 7 64bit ) to talk to the Playbook. I found the following:
Windows device manager sees the playbook and will let me back up and restore but not to see the files on the Playbook. Desktop software says problem with connection. On the "computer" window it shows drives but not the Playbook. Only hard drive and DVD drives. Looks like AVG is blocking the USB and as yet they have not come up with a solution and latest software wont let you manually configure the firewall other than allow and block (previous versions allowed you to config inbound and outbound rules)
Elsewhere on the forums a solution was provided but it meant leaving the firewall set to "off" or "allow all" which really is a waste of time having a firewall at all.
Please try this and see if it resolves your problems, It sorted it for me !
Remove AVG Internet Security 2014
Load AVG antivirus 2014 ( freeware) so now you are OK for antivirus protection
Load Microsoft Security Essentials (freeware) so now you are OK for firewall protection
Playbook now talks and can be configured, also the contents of the playbook drive can be seen alongside your PC drives and DVD drives in the "computer" window of your PC The playbook drive has now been allowed to be mounted where as it was blocked before
I know how frustrating this can be I have spent ages on it ..so give it a try

The USB-parallel cable needs a driver that supports Windows 7 x64 in addition to the driver the printer needs. Additionally make sure the port settings are correct, usually the port will be something like USB001: or USB002: for the USB-parallel port. Some cables may provide a virtual LPT port such as LPT3:. Check the documentation for your unit for details.
The posts here list models of USB-parallel ports folks here have had success with in Windows 7.

Wireless and USB setup

I have an HP LaserJet P1102w. How can I set it it up to print both wireless and USB. It is currently set up to print USB from my desktop computer. I would like to also print from my iPad wirelessly while keeping the USB connection for the desktop.

Hi DanC1,
I understand you would like to setup the printer on the wireless network.
I will be happy to help you.
Since the printer software is already installed then do the following steps:
Plug the printer back into the computer with the USB cable.
Then go to start, all programs, HP, Laserjet, wireless configuration wizard, follow the steps to setup the wireless. You should be able to print wirelessly now.
Print a test page.
If you still want to use the USB connection then disconnect and reconnect the USB cable and it will add a second Icon for the printer. One will be for USB connection and one for wireless connection.
Just select the proper printer when printing.
Hope this resolves your issue.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a wonderful day!

HT1551 Have not used Apple tv for ages,plugged in light flashing,screen is showing iTunes logo and USB cable

Plugged in my Apple tv to tv and light flashing non stop.Tv screen showing iTunes logo and USB cable.Not responding to anything

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

Wireless AND USB?

HP 6500A All-in-one: Can I switch between wireless and USB printing on the same laptop? Need to work around VPN.

Hi,
I did few tests before Christmas, the results were: you will get a error (on USB printer) if connected to same machine, but should be ok if you connected USB port to other machine (w/o wireless to the printer). In short, you still can use the printer but the logical printer on the USB port won't work.
Regards.

Software update failure, now phone frozen. Now screen only showing itunes logo and USB Cable on screen. Have I lost my backup?

I just tried updating the most recent software on my 3GS (on my Mac) but it said the updated on my phone failed. Now my phone is frozen and only showing the itunes logo and USB cable. When I connect to the USB lead, its says: iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.
Have I lost all the data on my phone?
What should I do?
Help!

The iTunes logo and cable indicates that your iPad has gone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
For the 3004 error code does the troubleshooting for it on the page that you posted from not help ?

IPod touch frozen on screen showing apple symbol and usb cable.

Pod touch frozen on screen showing apple symbol and usb cable. Happened during a update attempt.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

HT201412 it shows itunes logo and usb cable with arrow after that it switch off itself

iPAD shows itunes logo and usb cable with arrow after that it switch off itself

If the Restore doesn't work, force your iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

I am using chat-r wireless and facetime is not working but when i put rogers fido or any other carrier sim in it work. Anyone know what the problem?

I am using chat-r wireless and facetime is not working but when i put rogers fido or any other carrier sim in it work. Anyone know what the problem?

I'm guessing it's a compatibility problem similar to that that T-Mobile in the US has. I'm not familiar with chat-r wireless, but I'm guessing it's not a supported carrier for the iPhone. If they can't tell you how to fix it, I'm guessing it's just plain not going to work.

Will the earphones and usb cable be included in the box if i buy an ipod shuffle online?

i want to buy an ipod shuffle online, and so when i went to the compare section, it said that the earphones, usb cable and the ipod itself would be included in the box. however, when i went to the store and cart section, they suggested that i buy both the earphones and usb cable? are they included in the rm169 price tag? if not, are they necessary for the ipod shuffle? thanks in advance to anyone who is able to help me out here

You can click the Store button top left of this page, then iPod and go to the information on the Shuffle to seew what is included in the box. If Apple says the earphones and cable are not included then they must be purchased separately. You need the cable to sync music, and the earphones to hear since the Shuffle does not have a speaker.
