Why can't I access my printer from my IPad?

My new wireless HP photosmart 6430 printer works perfectly with my laptop computer windows XP and worked for a short time with my IPad and IPhone but has stopped working with both apple devices. I have contacted HP and my IOS provider and there is no problem on their end.

I can't seem to find that specific model of printer anywhere, and it doesnt appear in the list of AirPrint capable printers in this Apple article, so I would guess the reason you can't access it is its not a airPrint printer.

If you were using some type of software on your XP copmputer to share the printer to the Apple devices, you may need to restart it.

    Why can't I access the Store from my iTunes on my PC?

    You must've blocked cookies. iTunes requires cookies I believe. If you did block it follow these steps:
    Go to settings > safari > block cookies > never.

    In which case, clearly communicating the intent would have been a better solution.  The steps do apply.  A more appropriate response would have been "tried that, no change".
    Regardless of whether they fixed the problem or not, they do apply.
    If English is not your native language, I would strongly encourage you to post in your native language going forward.
    If basic troubleshooting has not resolved the issue, the next step is to take the device to Apple for evaluation.

  • Why can't I see my reminders from my iPad on my macbook pro?

    Why can't I see my reminders from my iPad on my macbook pro?

    Reminders will only appear in your Mac if you are using OS X Mountain Lion and you have the Reminders app. Open Apple menu > About this Mac, and check the OS X version. If it's not 10.8, you don't have OS X Mountain Lion.
    If you have OS X Mountain Lion, open System Preferences > iCloud, and mark Reminders

  • HT1657 Why can't I transfer rented movies from my iPad to my Mac?

    Why can't I transfer rented movies from my iPad to my Mac? This is absolutely senseless and annoying! I rented the movie and  should be able to watch it wherever I decide to!! A bit more concern for your clients, please...

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. As far as I know Apple haven't given a reason, but you can try leaving feedback for them via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • HT204291 Why can't I get full screen from my ipad to Apple TV

    Why can't I get full screen from my ipad to Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
    You may wish to try each of the settings in settings > AirPlay > Adjust for Overscan for the best setting that suits you.

  • Why can't I access my VM from home?

    I dropped my phone yesterday while working and had to get a replacement phone.  I'm using my wife's Samsung at the moment, but have been trying to access my VM from home, why won't it work? I dial my cell # and the recording goes on and on even with using *86, pound, or anything so I can input my password, and nothing works, it wants me to leave a message.  I'm frustrated. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks for the info but I've tried it probably a dozen times so far and it won't do it.  Not sure why and it's annoying.  Even my wife's tried it from her cell phone and it doesn't work.  At this point and time, I'm ready to say forget it and when my replacement phone finally comes in, my wife can access the VM for me.

  • WHY can't I access my database from an applet???????????

    The security code won't let my applet access its own database (from its own server)..
    I'm using getDocumentBase()
    to try and tell it that it is my own damn file..
    I keep getting :
    java.securityAccessControlException: access denied <java.util.PropertyPermission jdbc.drivers write>
    ...etc.
    This applet crap is really starting to piss me off. I can see why they came out with JSP.
    All I need to do is access my database, update it, etc. It kind of defeats the purpose of being able to do jdbc from applets if you can't even access the database on your own damn server.
    If you all don't have a clue, I'm freakin switching to PHP--I'm tired of this crap-I was thinking Java was a damn good language until I hit applets.

    The simple answer to your question is: Because of security concerns.
    The somewhat longer answer is that directly accessing a database from an applet is generally not a good idea. A lot of security-critical code like DB username/password must be hidden in the applet which potentially can be downloaded (and disassembled) by anyone that hits your webpage. Maybe you do an intranet solution with trusted users but that is not what applets were originally designed for.
    The clean way is to make your applet talk to a servlet that talks to your database.
    If that is not the way you want to do it, make sure that all client policy files (yes, on the browser machine) contain the permissions that your applet needs.

  • Why can I not access iTunes Store on my Ipad?

    Why can't I view anything on my Ipad from the Itunes app icon?

    Try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad and log out of your account and then log back in and see if the store's pages then show. If if doesn't then you could try closing the iTunes store app via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it, and/or try a soft-reset.
