We just bought an iMac. We have a new HP printer that we've been using wirelessly with our windows based computers with no problem. the iMac can find the printer, but it will not set up. Any ideas?
Our iMac can find the wireless printer, but it will not set it up. Any ideas?
I have to disagree with BGreg about downloading the driver from HP.com. I would recommend using Apple's instructions in
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
specifically the section on How to Add a Printer then check for the section on Wi-Fi printers.

Hi I have a mac osx lion10.7.3 and i can't get my mail set up with a blueyonder.co.uk address inbox works fine but i can't get outbox to work will not send mail any idea's thank's
And, you are sure you have provided the correct username and password for you email account? I'm not familiar with Virgin media, so you might contact their tech support to find out why you are having a problem sending mail but none receiving mail. I assume your mail account has always been POP3 and not IMAP. Typically, the outgoing mail servers are not the same for the different types of account service.

As I said, I am trying to upgrade to Mountain 10.8 but it will not load. Any suggestions?
What do you mean by, "it will not load?"
The way the process works is you purchase it from the App Store and it downloads. When if finishes, it will start the installer automatically.
Which part fails, Download or installation? -
have a new mac desktop that I want to use for syncing i-pad. Currently synced to an old pc that I will not be using any
longer How do I switch computers for syncing?The absolute best way to do this is to transfer your iTunes library from the old computer to the new one. You can find a numbr of ways to do that here.

If you want to spend the money for a computer application that will let you transfer all of the content from the iPad to iTunes - look at
Touchcopy
However, I have posted this many times over the past few months. If you follow these instructions you should be fine. This will transfer the purchased content from the iPad into iTunes on the Mac. You will still want to get your photo library and any CD's that you imported into iTunes on the new Mac. That is why transferring the iTunes library to the new Mac is the best way to go.
When you set up the new Mac - if you can import or migrate all of the PC content onto the Mac - this will all be a non issue, but I'm not sure how to bring all of your PC content onto the Mac. Going from an old Mac to a new Mac was a breeze, but I know nothing about transferring the content from a Windows PC.
The 3 basic things to remember - authorize the computer, (Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Store>Authorize this Computer) transfer purchased content and backup.
The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your Mac, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your Mac and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your PC. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

This support site will help you with transferring iTunes music to your new computer - if you have an iTunes library of music on another computer or hard drive.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
The worst case scenario is that you can download all of your apps again if needed - but you will not retain the data or app settings - but it is always an option if everything else fails - but it won't fail! -
The album track numbers show up but they are not in order, any ideas?
Theres a photo
Are you manually managing the content of the iPhone? If so then correcting things in iTunes won't change what's on the iPhone, even if you click "Sync".
If you are auto-syncing then the corrections should push out to the iPhone, but you may need to force the update by removing the songs from the iPhone (maybe un-check them in iTunes and set your iPhone to sync only checked items, then re-sync ... of course, reverse the process to put them back onto the iPhone). -
Installed Bridge CC, but it will not open. Any ideas?
CC Home page says everything is up to date. Tried to start by double-clicking and also by going to file location. No luck.
Thanks for responding. It won’t open through Photoshop, so I think that I will delete the program and re-install. I upgraded to 8.1 after I had installed Bridge, and I think that might be related to the problem.
Thanks, again. -

Yup, most users on this forum do not use MS Office, I'd suggest reposting on the Office for Mac Product Forums hosted by Microsoft.
Good luck. -
I just installed OS X Yosemite on my MacBook. I now cannot get the computer to start up. If I hold down the power button to try and power it back up, it will not start. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Download and install the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:
Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Choose the version you have installed now:
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet

i have a nano 4th generation 8gb i have tried resetting it, i get the apple logo come up but nothing else happens. It will work in my docking station but as soon as i take it out it will not respond. any ideas, do i need a new battery?
It definitely sounds like your Nano needs a new battery at this point. You can have Apple replace it for a flat fee, send it into a third party service center to be replaced for much less, or you can purchase a new battery online and swap it out yourself if you feel up to it.

Why will my iPad 2 not recognize any iPod cables? I have tried two different cables in both the wall and in my laptop, but it will not register that it is receiving power, nor will the laptop recognize that they are connected.
Crizzo is right, the best way to charge is with the included power block. That said, the USB cords are interchangable as far as an of us know. (just not power bricks, iPhone and iPod bricks put out 5W of power, the iPad wants 10W and will always say 'not charging' if plugged into less power than it requires even though it will charge, just very slowly)
If you have tried to charge your iPad - with the iPad charger - with multiple cables and multiple computers and get no joy then it's time to head to the apple store and have them check it out. The 30 pin USB port can go bad - mine did - and it's a manufacturer's defect (unless there's any sort of obvious damage) and should be covered under the warranty; -

On my Ipad2 I can open Sky/BBCNews etc. but when I click on an article with video, it will not load. Any ideas
I also lost all content from my diaryIf the video is in flash, then the iPad can't play it natively. You need to use different browser apps to access flash content. I see Puffin, iSwiffer recommended a lot.
You may also want to see if BBC has an app. things sometimes work better through an app than they do just through safari -
My Nook finds the downloaded books and is authorized but will not open them, any ideas how to fix?
I finally got the Nook to find the books I loaded through DE, but they will not open, B & N seems clueless and the local lib is working on the problem. Meanwhile both books I downloaded are about to be overdue! I could use some help! Thanks!!
Figured it out!
Connect nook to computer
In explorer, delete ".adobe-digital-editions" folder on the nook
Disconnect the nook from the computer
Start ADE
Then plug in the nook to the computer
ADE will ask to register the nook
Do so
Now I see the nook in ADE
Close ADE and disconnect nook
Now I am able to read the ebook that I had transferrred originally from ADE (purchased from Kobo)
Apparently, ADE did not register my nook properly the first time. The second registration worked like a charm. -
My computer has stopped recieving charge. The charger is in great condition, but it will not register, nor charge my computer. I do not know if its my mac or the charger. Is there any way to fix this?
Do you have another charger to test with?
It is very possible that somehow the wire might have gotten bent without your knowledge and that is why it is not working.
If you have an Apple store near you, you might want to set up a genius appointment so that they can test it for you.
