Wifi connection remembered on Mac or Pixma MX870?

hi,
I'm getting ready to donate my Canon Pimxa MX870 and want to make sure I'm not giving it away with passwords.
Does anyone know is the connection to my network stored on my Mac or on the printer?
I only vaguely remember setting it up about 3 years ago and having to connect it with a cable to get it set up. When I try to run the MP Navigator it tells me it can't start it. I'm not sure what to do next.
Advice would be appreciated.

To put your mind at ease do a factory default reset.

WiFi Connections thru another Mac

I apologize in advance if this is a very simplistic question. I have a 6 node home network, all wired with CAT5 for 4 mac's and 2 windows PCs. I discovered recently that my Mac Mini has a wifi antenna built in and I can now have some of my laptops connect to the network thru wifi, and I do this as well with my iphone 3G. No worries.
But consider my network topology for a second. Everything is wired, except that wifi is made possible with my Mac Mini, which is also wired to my network but has its own wifi service for other devices. So here's the question. When I try to sync iphone apps with my MacPro thru wifi, they don't see each other (I'm talking specifically about two iphone apps that sync to Mac apps, 1Password and MacFamilyTree). Is this because the wifi is only connected to the Mac Mini, and doesn't let wifi connected devices see my Mac Pro? Do I have a network config problem or am I thinking about this wrong?
Any advise is really appreciated!
Thanks
Jmac

apple2be,
I too have a wired network in my home. Usually, I leave the Airport off, but curiosity got the better of me and I had to try to recreate your situation. My network lives in the 10.1.1.x IP range. I enabled Airport on one of my machines and set it to share the internet connection from ethernet to Airport (mimicking your Mac Mini). I then enabled Airport on a second machine (representing the iPhone) and connected to the Airport network created by the first machine. I looked at the IP address of the Airport connection on the second machine and found it to be in the 10.1.2.x range. As I suspected, the Mac Mini is acting as a router/wireless access point and is performing NAT between the 10.1.1.x and 10.1.2.x networks. Your iPhone can probably see your MacPro, but your MacPro cannot likely see your iPhone in much the same way that a computer from the internet (hopefully) cannot see past your router (firewall) into your home network.
You may want to try using your MacPro as the wireless access point instead of the Mac Mini. The iPhone may be able to sync to the Pro in this situation, however, I fear you'll run in to much the same problem.
Good luck and please let us know how this works out for you. I'm very interested for curiosity's sake...

All of our iOS devices are displaying the message that they can't connect to the Internet. All show good wifi connections. Our Macs all connect to the internet just fine suggesting that the network is good. I'm stumped.

Airport Utility on the Macs show good internet signals but on our two iPads and my iPhone 5 there are no indications of internet connectivity. One of the iPads is running iOS 7 but the other is still running iOS 6. The iPhone 5 is updated to iOS 7.
Is there a setting switch that if set incorrectly would create this problem? Like I said before, all the iOS devices stopped internet connectivity at the same time.
Update: Well while I was typing this I was called away to help get people to bed etc. And when I got back I tried all four iOS devices and, now, they all connect to the internet. I don't understand it. Two iPhones, different iOS versions, and two iPads, different generations and also different iOS versions, all decided that they would disconnect themselves from the internet but stay connected to the wifi network. Somebody must have an explanation for what just happened. Remember it isn't the router because the Macs all had uninterrupted internet connections. Weird!

I used to have a satellite connection to the internet. When ever the power went off I was told to turn on the devices in a specific order for them to work properly.
Try shutting off every device including all iPads, iPhones, computer, Wi-Fi router and Satellite modem. Then turn them on one at a time in the order listed below. Be sure to wait until each device completes its start up routine before starting up the next item. When my satellite modem was restarted it often had to download an update. The time this took varied with the update. So be sure the Satellite modem is up and connected to the Satellite before going to the next device.
1. Satellite Modem.
2. Wi-Fi Router
3. Your computer. Check to see that your computer connects to the internet.
4. iPad or iPhone and remaining devices one at a time.

Dropping WiFi Connections after new Mac Min and Upgrade

First of all does anyone know why this discussion was archived when there was never a solution posted?
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12586041?tstart=0#12586041
Secondly (why I found that thread among many others addressing the same problem). I received a new Mac Mini for XMas (cool, I needed it) which worked fine with my other computer and devices (2 iPads, 2 iPhones, 2 Win7 Laptops and 2 Win7 desktops) for a couple days, so I thought. Now all these devices got along very well until Mr. Mini comes along. Then I note wireless drops occasionally, it seemed to come back so I wasn't too upset, yet and decided to deal with it later and enjoy my vacation.
Now, after I allowed Leopard to do its upgrade (I had deferred that) I now have all the above devices dropping wifi and physical LAN connections as long as this Mini is powered on. I shut it off, Internet is blazing, I turn it on, Internet falters and screeches to a halt.
Since all my other devices have worked cooperatively for several years and this device comes along and crashed the party im pretty convinced its not my router or computers. I am not interested in trial and error here. i have many better more important things to do and this is Apples responsability to figure out. I am a very savy IT dude (career professional) and want to get to the bottom of this for everyone.
Soooo.... What changed? Why does this device kill my network when it is turned on (note, no alterations from out-of-the box to any network protocol or config.) and why does a thread (one of many) without a solution get trumped on by Apple?

Why does my mac mini wifi connection drop off?

After an idle period my WiFi connection on the Mac Mini drops off and needs to be clicked on & modem selected to connect back on.
No other devices on the network are affected in this way. iPhones, PC's, iPad, & android tablets have no problems staying connected.

Could be due to interference

Sharing a WiFi Connection in OSX

Lets say your in a hotel that has wifi and you have to pay $10 a day for the connection. You don't want to have to pay $10 again for your iPad and iPhone to connect as well.
I would like to share the WiFi connection on my MAC with other devices. I know how to do this with two WiFi cards but can this be done with a single WiFi Card?
I know technicialy it is possible to do this with one card because I have see apps for Windows and even an iPhone using the Jailbroken MyFi App that used a bridge tethered mode to share a WiFi (not 3G) connection to a number of devices.
Anyone know of a way to do this on a MAC?
All the best,
Joe

Hi Sig,
If only life was that simple. The basic Mac XOS Internet Sharing will allows you to share a wired internet connection over wireless or a wireless internet connection over wire. Or if you have two wireless cards you can share the connection on one wireless card with users onanother card.
What I wanted to do was share the Wireless Internet connectionon the same wireless card. It looks like you have to pick a different interface for sharing then the one your wish to share using the approach you are recommending.
All the best,
Joe

HT4628 WiFi Connect to Work Lap Top at Home?

I have a PC Laptop that I use for work, and I have been trying to get it to run at home using WiFi Connection to my Mac. When I select my home network, it ask for my WPA2 Key Code, and I don't know if I have one or if I do where or how to find it? I never experienced this problem until a recent upgarde of my Apple Software. I'm not real Tech minded, so anyone who can explain how to help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I don't know if this helps, but bluetooth (the latest update) will knock the wireless right off. Is there a bluetooth cell phone, mouse, Motorola head set or printer near by?
Do you have an iPod touch or Nokia 770 device to test the wireless?

This subject has been talked/written about a lot, after Lion was introduced. A solution from Apple has not yet been published, everybody is waiting.
Try for instance https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3734081?start=15&tstart=0, but there are more discussion groups with the same subject: frequently lost WiFi-connections in newer Macs running Lion or up.

I want to connect my Mac Book Pro to the internet in France without any wifi connection available? Mi Fi? Sim card?

I want to connect my Mac Book Pro to the internet in France without any wifi connection available? Mi Fi? Sim card? All we have is a phone signal in this rural French location. I want to be able to Skype to states from there. We have a friend with a 3G ipad who uses an Orange sim card to do it. I would rather not have to buy an Ipad.
thanks

I found out that the data package for one month useage with MiFi is 1G. How many minutes of online time does that correspond to?

About an hour ago, I purchased Real Racing 2 from the Mac App Store for $12.99, but since then it has not downloaded one bit, even though I have a stable wifi connection. The money has already been taken from my account as well. What should I do?

Just to make sure, open Mac App Store and click Purchases. Can you pause the download and restart it?

Lately my finder closes when I select a shared devices and I can no longer connect to other macs. Wifi working, TC okay except in finder. Mac Pro running 10.8.5

Lately my finder has been closing when I select a shared device such as another mac, a printer, or the time capsule. My WiFi connection is working - I can can still backup to the TC and use my wireless printer, but I just can't access them by clicking on them in the finder window. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks for your help
I made no changes to the mini or the server.
The router was shut down then on restart the new (replaced modem) was configured by using another mac on the network (not the file server)
Once the router and modem were online again, other macs running 9.2 were accessing the file server as usual. The mini was not.
I had been working on a file that resides on the server. I was not warned that the router was going to be shut down. When I saved the file I got the beach ball then error message.
It'll be next week before I'm in the office agin. I'll report back then. Thanks

I'm having trouble with back to my MAC. I had everything working on my home wifi network but now I am at my daughter's house and trying to connect via a verizon hotspot wifi connection. I'm wondering if the Verizon hookup is a problem.

I finally figured it out. Needed to update her Airport firmware and allow guest access, and also changed Sharing preferences to Allow Access for All Users.

My mac mini keeps dropping wifi connectivity

Hi Folks,
My new Mini keeps dropping wifi connectivity so I lose the connection to Apple TV and even just browsing on Safari seems painful hoping a page will load before losing connectivity. I reset my router, restart the mini and it intermittently keeps happening. Has anyone come up with a workable solution?
Thanks

Mac Mini gets wifi connection for 3 seconds, then drops it.

Hey all,
Long time listener, first time caller.
I'm running a 1.66 Mac Mini with 10.5.4 on it. My wifi network is based on a Comcast broadband connection and is broadcast through an 802.11g Airport Express. Also on the network are: a Macbook (3,1), my iBook G4 (1.33 ghz), my original iPhone, my Tivo, an HP desktop using an 802.11g wireless adapter and occasionally a Wii. All of these have great wifi connections, run fast and connect easily. The wifi is normally WEP ASCII 128 bit encrypted.
The Mac Mini, however, does not. The Mac Mini has been in several positions near my TV (This is what it uses as a monitor), but in most of these has had an extremely hard time finding the wifi network. This got a bit better after I removed all of it's locations, keychains and such and re-set-up everything. Except it still, whenever it connects, drops the web connection within about 10 seconds on an extremely good day. I'll select my network from the Airport drop down menu, it'll join happily, I'll click a bookmark and the page will load very slowly, get about halfway and then stop. Sometimes it'll just go straight to "You are not connected to the internet. (Network Diagnostics)" When I click network diagnostics, either Airport Settings or ISP has failed, but when I go through the process of trying to repair/diagnose the problem, suddenly they will all be working fine.
For what it's worth, I took it to the Genius Bar, and it worked amazingly well on the Apple Store Wifi.
Any thoughts?

I was having an identical issue with my Mini, and I have an eerily similar mix of devices on my network. Last night I went into my Airport Express configuration and changed the channel that it is broadcasting on (also turned on Interference Robustness) and everything is now working great. By default, my Airport channel was broadcasting on channel 1 - I changed it manually to channel 7, restarted the Airport and that did the trick. All of my macs (including the Mini), tivos and wii are now getting a stronger wireless signal since I changed the channel.
