Why does my printer not work when i plug in the internet? (ethernet)
hey guys,
i have the Mac connected to a large digital printer via the ethernet connection. works fine, no problems untill i plug in the internet. I get an error message in my software and can't print any jobs, but the internet works fine.
I have a feeling that its a network problem, but don't want to mess around too much with the settings.
This is a company internet connection.
if anyone could advise of the possible network settings, I would be very greatful.
thanks again.Your Mac sends traffic to the interface at the top of the list in
System Preferences > Network
When you plug in the second Ethernet, that Interface jumps to the top of the list and all traffic goes there.
The solution is to cable that Printer to your Router, not to your Mac.
Alternatively, you could add a small Switch and connect your Mac and the printer to it.
If you really want to you can use Internet Sharing to add the Ethernet port going to the Printer to the Network connacted to the Internet. -
Why does my printer not work with a second laptop?
I have 2 X55U Asus laptops.
No problem with the printer printing from my computer but it will not print for my wife's computer.
I have a HP Deskjet 4280.
Before printing, the "Devices and Printers" page on each of the laptops has a green check mark in the lower left hand corner of the printer icon.
When I click "Print" on the page to be printed, HP's page comes up and says "Now printing" but nothing happens.Are both laptops the same age? Are the drivers up to date on both of them? Is her's actually connected to the printer?
Look to see if the printer icon is active in bottom right corner. Hover the mouse pointer over it to see if it indicates a number of documents pending. Double click on it and read the top of the dialog box to see the printer name to confirm the document was sent to the correct place. -

why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.
IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
Save it to your Desktop.<br />
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop. -

Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number
Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message
Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

Why does flash player not work with facebook?
Why does flash player not work with fcebook? Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player. When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one. I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows. I don't know anything else.
Message was edited by: khettichThis means you don't have the latest version installed. Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Why Does Dynamic Link Not Work
I purchased the CS5 Adobe Production Premium. I have been working in Premiere and I have been learning about how to use Dynamic Link. I want to be able to alter clips in After Effects and bring them back and forth into Premiere. When I go to File/ Adobe Dynamic Link/New After Effect Composition, I get this message:
Adobe Dynamic Link Requires Adobe Production Premium.
Since I own production premium, I do not know why I am getting this message. I have reinstalled the CS5 Production Premium Software twice and it still gives me the same message. What can I do to get Dynamic Link Working.Thank you for the tip. Could you possibly tell me how to deactivate and
then reactivate the suite. I am using a Macbook Pro laptop running OS
10.6.4. I do not even know where to start.

Subject: Why Does Dynamic Link Not Work
Deactivate the software (not uninstall), and then reactivate the suite.
This often fixes this. You can opt to leave the serial number on the
system; no need to clear it and re-enter it. -

Why does photo stream not work on 4g
Hi, I have a iPhone and a Mac and an iCloud account, but why does photo stream not work on 4g, but as soon as I connect to wifi, it send photos to photo stream, can please tell why it does not send photos to photo stream when on 4g, thanks.
The data requirements for sending potentially many photos can be too taxing/costly on a carrier's data plan.
