Windows 8 Add a Device not finding all of my IP printers

Hello all. My organization is migrating to Windows 8. We currently use IP printers in our offices (24 locations total). Currently, in XP, we have a customized powershell script that allows users to locate a printer and install it. In windows
8, we'd like users to be able to click Add a Device.... scan the network, see their printer, and install it. Im testing this on a subnet in the main office with a few test machines running Windows 8.
The problem is, when i click Add a Device, only 3 printers show up (there should be a dozen or so). I have tried to compare the settings on the printers that show up to those that do not, but i dont see any differences. I have tweaked the settings
on several of the printers with no affect. We have a few different models, HP 4345 all-in-ones, 4700 color laserjets, 4300 laserjets, and 4515 laserjets. We also have some Xerox 9203 and 5790 models. Only the Xerox 9203 and HP 4515 printers
show up.
I have tried using some of the settings discussed here:

but still nothing. Hoping someone else has some experience with this type of thing and can point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Hi,
Considering that the issue is caused by network issue.
Please firs try to ping the IP of the printer which doesn't display.
If it fails, we can see that the printer is not configured correctly on the network, please reset it again.
If we can ping the printer IP successfully, please try if we can install the printer via the UNC address: \\host\computerIP.
If your device has a wireless switch, make sure it’s turned on. The switch could be on the front, back, or side, and it could be small and unmarked. Check the info that came with your device to see if a picture shows where it’s located.
Post back the testing results.

Using iPad air, iPod, iCLoud and WinPro 7 - I am not finding all my tunes and movies among all these devices.

When I orignally installed iTunes current update, and tried to move about the devices iTunes would crash. I uninstalled it, then reinstalled it. It seems to be stable, however as before I am not finding all of my TUnes and Movies on all my devices.
Any one?
Thanks-

Hey thomnj,
From what I understand, it sounds like after uninstalling and reinstalling your iTunes as a troubleshooting step, you're now missing some of your media? I would troubleshoot the issue with the steps in here:

Can I add multiple devices to "Find My iPhone" that have different Apple ID's?

I was just wondering if it was possible at all to add multiple devices to "Find My iPhone". These devices however, have separate Apple ID's. Is this still possible? And if so, how do I go about diong that?

The same way you do it for one. Just repeat the steps but first log into each account to add the device connected to that Apple ID.

Link Checker not finding all errors

Hi. I am running the link checker, but its not
finding all my errors - does anyone know why? -- for example -
links like "/products/index.html should be "../products/index.html
-- but link checker is not flagging this as wrong.
Also the opposite - if I have this "../../products/index.html
- and it should be : "../products/index.html - it doesnt know its
wrong.
Help - I really wanted to implement my new site tomorrow -
but I cant trust the results I am seeing right now.

Either link will work fine. Both point to EXACTLY THE SAME
PLACE, assuming
your file doing the linking is one folder level below the
root. The former
link is called a root relative link since it describes the
path to the
linked file from the root of the site no matter where the
linking page is.
The latter is called a document relative link because it
describes the path
to the linked file from the location of the current page.
Neither will be
flagged by the link checker, since both could be right.
> Also the opposite - if I have this
"../../products/index.html - and it

Is this a real or a made up example? If you have the former,
and it should
be the latter, then your site is not properly defined.

It's a cockpit error, I believe. To read more about

How can i add a device on find my iPhone?

how can i add a device on find my iPhone?

You activate iCloud and Find my iPhone on the device you want to track using your Apple ID.

Mail subject search is not finding All copies why?

mail 6.3 using a subject search (in the small spotlght) - is not finding All copies in my folders and subfolders why? I have done indexing for all mail folders and that did not correct it.

Are you really still running OS X version 10.7.4 as your post indicates above? I don't believe Mail 6.3 would run correctly on Lion.
If not, and you're really running Mountain Lion, then I suggest Mailbox > Rebuild on the box(es) / folder(s) not working correctly.

Hi there, I have much files saved on pages ( ios ipad) , I just open it today and did not find .all the files !!!! Just 4!!! Taken in consider that I did not delete or making any wrong action. How I can return the lost files!!!! Help please

Hi there, I have much files saved on pages ( ios ipad) , I just open it today and did not find .all the files !!!! Just 4!!! Taken in consider that I did not delete or making any wrong action. How I can return the lost files!!!! Help please
its very important files!

tis true
I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

I have saved a large number of cd on an extermal drive via my laptop. I have now moved my external drive to my desk to but I tunes does not find all the CD i have saved on the external drive

Depending on which email client software you use
the files should be in 'your home folder' library, esp.
if you use Mail application.... ~/Library/Mail
Since you don't specify what mail application,
that would most be associated with the file.
I notice there are some items to the right of your post
where it says "more like this' so that may be worth a
look to see if similar issues were answered. Also, the
Help viewer in your system is a searchable database.
Seems that google also brings up fair information, too.
Do you have a complete bootable clone of your entire
Mac system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive?
Good luck & happy computing!

Edit find/change (not finding all instances)

I am using Edit>Find/Change to change a brand name in a document — however, this feature is not finding ALL instances of the brand name. I am having to manually/visually edit through the entire doc. Suggestions?

Hi,
You could check whether "Case sensitive" is switched on in your find/change dialog. Also check that your find format options are cleared. Click the "More Options" button if the find format options are not showing in the dialog.

How to add back device in find my iphone

my iphone was stolen a few days ago & ive been trying to locate it since then & it finally showed up earlier. but i must have accidentally clicked remove device cz now it says no registered devices. i read in apple's site that the device will automatically be added the next time the device goes online as long as my mobile.me account is still configured in the device. will that really be automatic or will it still prompt for a password? Im still hoping that it will appear again, are there other ways i can add it back?
please help! thanks in advance!

Icloud not finding all my devices

My iCloud account is not registering all of our devices. We are trying to give someone else an iPad mini, but we can't set it up because it wants us to remove it from our find my device feature. We went to remove it, but it isn't listed.

Do you still have the iPad with you? Does it prompt you to enter the Apple ID and password directly on the iPad?

Windows (8.1) could not find back up devices while creating a system image (0x80070003)

I am trying to create a system image backup under Windows 8.1 Windows Backup is unable to find a backup device with error (0x80070003). No drives are shown under "On a hard disk" and select <Refresh> gives the same error.
A LaCie 1Tb external harddisk is connected to the PC and formatted as an NTFS drive. The hard disk is visable under Harddisk Management and shows up under Explorer mapped as Drive D:
Any thoughts?

Hi,
As you mentioned, the Drive D is mapped from your external harddrive. How did you connect this hard drive into this computer?
If it was connected via network, Please choose "On a network location" and locate the harddrive to check the results.

Windows Server 2012 Essentials (not R2) - all client computers offline

The server is Windows Server 2012 Essentials (not R2). I have had this problem ever since I first installed the Windows Server 2012 Essentials server in the summer of 2013 (before R2 was released). The Windows Server 2012 Essentials server shows offline
for all Devices under Dashboard. (Allow me to add that I just installed another site with Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2, and it was a breeze - all of the computers at the second install site are online.) I have one Windows 8.1 Pro client and the rest
are Windows 7 Pro clients. The problem occurs on ALL client computers.
I have removed computers from Devices in Dashboard on the server, rebooted the server, changed the client computer to a workgroup, rebooted the client computer, and reinstalled the connector software on the client computer. Same result. I
have tried this on a Windows 7 Pro client and a Windows 8.1 Pro client with the same results.
After running the connector on a client computer and waiting for the server to update its Devices status, if I look under Devices on the server Dashboard, the Windows 8.1 client computer will say online but within 24 hours it goes offline again. The
Windows 7 client computers never show online. Both computers stay offline - they NEVER show an online status (referring to the status under Devices in Dashboard).
I should make it clear that the clients can access the server shares with no problem. File synchronization works great. The clients can ping the server and the server can ping the clients. But client backups on the server fail.
One of the most troublesome things about this problem is that it prevents the client computers from being accessed remotely using the website setup by Anywhere Access. I can login to get remote access to the shared files on the server, but
the only computer that says "online" is the server. All of the other computers are "offline".
The server and clients are only using Windows firewall. The clients all use Microsoft Security Essentials for their anti-virus.
I used a troubleshooting tool that tells me that there are problems with port 6602 on the server, but the clients are all fine with port 6602. I know port 6602 is important for using Anywhere Access but I am still trying to find out more details on that.
I have checked all of the firewall settings related to port 6602 on the server, and the firewall settings look like the standard Windows settings for this port. I used netstat to find the PID associated with the port, and I looked up the PID to find the service.
That all looked standard, too.
I have been working on this problem since the summer of 2013!! Does anyone have ANY suggestions?!!
HELP!

Hi,
Just addition, please check if all necessary Windows updates are installed on those
“Offline” client computer.
When connect client computers to the Windows Server 2012 Essentials server by using the Connector software, there
will be LAUNCHPAD on the client computer. Was this LAUNCHPAD grayed out? Please check if can access Shared Folders via this LAUNCHPAD. Meanwhile, please ping the Windows Server 2012 Essentials via IP address and server name when client computers show as
Offline. Any find?
Get Connected in Windows Server Essentials
In addition, please follow the path on Server and client computer:
%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows Server\Logs. Did you check any relevant Server-side logs and
Client-side Logs if find more clues?
Windows
Server Essentials 2012/2012 R2 Log Files
If any update, please feel free to let us know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

IPhone 4 / Bluetooth / Windows 7 / Peripheral Device not installed?

I am unable to install my iphone 4 to the new laptop I have, OS Windows 7. The devices pair fine and recognize each other, I just keep receiving error messages when the driver automatically installs. It reads "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" not installed. Any solutions???
Thanks
-Jonny

I realise this is an old topic, but it seems everyone has the wrong band-aid fix.
The correct fix is as follows:
The issue is that Windows doesn't recognise the iPhone as a Bluetooth Peripheral Device and cannot find the correct driver to download and install.
Follow the following steps:
- First, you need to install the appropriate 'Windows Mobile Device Support' software for your version of windows (32 and 64 bit versions have different files to download). It may look like it didn't install in Windows 7, but that's ok. It did.
- Turn on the bluetooth discovery mode on the iPhone.
- Select 'Add a Device' in Devices and Printers, follow the instructions to connect and enter the 8 or 9 digit key into your iPhone.
- Your iPhone should be found and automatically install all the software and drivers except for the Bluetooth Peripheral Device driver.
- In Devices and Printers, right click the iPhone, select properties, and then the hardware tab.
- The first device function should be 'HID-compliant consumer control device. Ensure it's selected.
- Select Properties, and in the next window select 'update driver'
- Select 'Browse my computer for driver software'
- Select 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'
- Select 'Bluetooth Radio' from the left hand side listing
- In the next window, select 'Microsoft Corporation' on the left, and 'Windows Mobile-based Device support' from the right side.
- Install this option, clicking through the warnings and accepting this option.
- Now you have the device driver installed, and your iPhone will be connected via Bluetooth when you need to pair it - great for file transfers and internet access without turning the radio on.
I hope this helps. This is the proper fix. Not the 'pressing two keys at the same time' or unchecking the option that only allows some features to be used.

Solution for spotlight not finding all files and plea to apple...

ok, here is the deal:
you are looking for a file named "new_template.lso" which is a logic song template, that you created with logic studio.
this file resides in ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Song Templates/ a location where logic insists on putting the song templates.
looking for it via the spotlight menu shows nothing.
looking for it with the finders search reveals ... nothing. *** ?
here is the wonderful solution:
-open a new finder search: cmd-f.
-goto the first dropdown menu
-choose "others"
-look for "system files" check the corresponding box.
-go back to the search window and search for the file - no result
-now go to the first dropdown menu and choose the newly added "system files" entry.
-finally go to the second dropdown menu and choose "contains".
boom, totally easy and fast and user friendly... you got your file.
this solution isn't even possible in the spotlight menu!!!
so why am i not supposed to find files in my user library?
i am 32 years old.
i use my computer to make a living.
i used macs since 10 years.
i promise i will not sue apple if i find and delete files by mistake.
seriously this dumbing down the system starts to get unbearable.
does anyone know of a workaround?
are there any hidden preferences for spotlight, which i could change so it shows "system files" by default???

I completely agree. Everyone who has a problem with this (and I see it is a hot topic in these forums) should send apple a a note and tell them that we don't all stick to iLife and some of us go into the LIBRARY. Leopard is great, but Tiger let me efficiently find stuff in the library and I was always confident I'd find all I needed.
