When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer. The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to access the printer. Any thoughts?
When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered that my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer. The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to share the printer. Does anyone else have this problem? My printer does not have on-board Wi-Fi but, otherwise, works fine. I shouldn't have to buy a new one. Is there a OS patch out there that would open the printer port for my PC computers?
I'm assuming that on the Mac, the System Preferences -> Sharing -> Printer Sharing -> [X] HP printer -> Everyone can print is selected? That is to say, the Mac will allow anyone to print using the printer, and that you did not try to restrict who can print.
How is your network configured? Bonjour as a protocol will NOT cross a router boundary. If you have 2 or more subnets active with the PCs on one subnet and the Mac on another, that would block the PCs from seeing the Mac.
You could have multiple subnets if you have more than one router, such as an ISP provided broadband modem/router and another WiFi Router. If the PCs are talking to one router and the Mac is talking to another, that could be a 2 subnet situation. The additional routers must be put into bridge mode, which is done differently depending on the router. But the basics are to diable DHCP and NAT services on the secondary router(s) having just one active router on the network.
Also, using Bonjour Browser on my Mac, it is showing me that the printer is being advertised as using Internet Printing Protocol, so if that is something selectable on Windows, maybe you can bypass Bonjour on Windows.

new itouch user here, We had a wireless connection with a password all set up but we couldn't remember the password meanwhile there are other connections around us but locked. So i decided to make a new one yet it still will not allow to go on safari after i type in the password PLEASE HELP ive turned on and off etc
My guess is that the security settings on your router and iPod do not match.
For a test, change your router so there is no security. See if you can connect and get to the Internet. If that works, set up the router with security and use the same settings for the iPod. -
When I launch the app store, I get "minecraft." It will not allow me to return to the "featured" menu. I've tried rebooting / killing the app, but nothing has worked. Any insight?
I have also tried the fixes offered in this forum such as using the "Other" mail in setting up the gmail accounts, and not using the dedicated gmail setting. I also went to google and signed in and enable the additional devices. I had the same problems with the original account I set up for gmail, but it corrected when i went to using the "Other" instead of the Gmail button. I was able to set up the new gmail accounts on my iphone without problem and on my husband's ipad1 for his gmail account. Just the ipad 2 is giving me problems. Again, thanks for any suggestions.

My MacbookPro will not allow me to type in the password to open the computer, the keys make a donging noise when I try to use them ?
If the normal restart doesn't work, and you restart on the recovery hard drive, from the choices of things to do window that appears, select Terminal, and in the Terminal window type: resetpassword and then press enter. You will have a window with the users to choose from to reset the password. Select the one you want and you will be able to reset the password, double entry of course.

Here is what I am doing. In Elments Orgainizer, I am going to FILE, then selecting Back Up Catalgo to CD,DVD or Hard Drive, then I select- Full Back Up, then it goes to Calculate Total Media Space and that is where is stops at 18%Thanks for the response
My OS is Win 7 Home Prem
The catalog is over 60GB and over 31,000 images
There are only a few videos in the catalog
I am backing up to a hard drive that is a 2TB drive
I can not even get to select the drive, as the system stops as it calculates the amount of space needed. -

Can i set up remote desktop with my Mac Air and Windows 7 HP desktop?
I am wanting to set up remote desktop with my Mac Air and HP windows 7 home edition desktop. Is this possible and how do I begin setting this up?
Thanks for the help!There is an app in the Mac App Store to use Microsoft Remote Desktop with a Mac: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id715768417?mt=12
But according to their support site it requires Pro, Enterprise, or Ultimate in the Windows 7 side. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn473006.aspx
If it was me, I would first look into Teamviewer to see if it will do what you need. It does work between Mac and Windows and it is free for non-commercial use. http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx -

I just upgraded to 15.0.1. Firefox will not let me type in data in data boxes such as a dictionary lookup or even the question box within the Firefox Help. The box usually comes up with the type of sinformation needed within the box, such as "word lookup" but I cannot type over the words, delete them, erase them. The box will not allow data input.
Totally unrelated to my problem with Firefox I got hit with a virus/malware problem which my virus protection failed to catch/stop. I was forced to go to safe mode in Windows and restore my system to a few hours earlier. That got me back to Firefox 14 and there are no issues with Firefox 14 with me entering data as there is in Firefox 15. I am ignoring Firefox's offer to upgrade for a while as I cannot believe that I would be the only one with the issue I described in Firefox 15. Thank you both for your input on how to correct the problem. I will try them out if I find the same problem later on when I "upgrade" to Firefox 15.

Doug SnyderYou need to set Copy'n'Paste security policies for that domain in Firefox.
