OS X Mavericks :: Connecting IMac To WiFi Direct Printer
Jun 4, 2014
I just bought an iMac. my husband bought a Dell XPS 2730. Of course, we discovered that we could not both connect to our old printer without some very technical stuff beyond our ken. So we bought a new wifi direct Brother printer,I can't even see the printer from my iMac. I have downloaded the latest drivers for it from Apple. The printer is all set up and can see my iMac.
Info:
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

I'm in the process of a full-bore triple-boot (Mavericks, Win7, Ubuntu) reinstall, and I've run into a problem with Bootcamp 5's Wifi driver for Win7/64. When I try to connect, it sees the WEP network in my house, but when I try to connect, I get a previously unseen sequence. The first message says it's collecting data from the network, and the next one is a "Network Authentication" prompt for User name and password. For the last couple of years (before the reinstall), I just got a simple WEP passphrase prompt. So how do I get this working? I did get one "Driver installation failed" message, but when I clicked "for details" the message just disappeared. All the other important drivers seem to be working just fine, it's just this odd wifi connection behavior that I've noticed and can't resolve. The wifi works just fine under Mavericks.
Context: Macbook Pro, 15-inch, early 2011; Mavericks (10.9.4); Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Bootcamp 5.1.5621, downloaded today.

My MacBook Pro OS 10.9.4 regularly "loses" my home printer, set up through my WIFI. Even though I can see it in the Printer Menu, it claims I am not connected. So, I delete said printer. When I go to add a new printer, it cannot find said printer and I cannot figure out how to manually tell it that it is sitting right here on my desk.

I recently switched cable providers to Time Warner. They set up a Ubee cable modem and all devices (IPhone, IPad, AppleTV, etc) are all connecting to the wireless network except my IMac. I tried renewing my DHCP lease, updating to OS X Maverick but every time I try and connect I get an error message that says "Connection Time Out".

New here and came across your wonderful site... I've googled to death this question...
I have a Jazz performance that I just filmed and put to DVD. The client wants 20 or so DVDs and I would like suggestions for a printer, software and DVD media that allows me to print directly to DVD (no sticky labels) from my 1st generation (intel chip) iMac running OS 10.4.

I have a Brother MFC-9340CDW WIFI printer which my iMac says it can't find sometimes when I want to print. I think I have narrowed the problem down to when my MacBook Air is on at the same time and using WIFI on the same network If I turn off WIFI on the MacBook I can print from my IMac. I am not sure if it is a router problem or what but we use the iMac and MacBook Air at the same time quite often. Checked on the Brother website - nothing.

I'm considering to get an additional battery for my MBP (Alu Unibody)
Wondering is there a cable/connector for connecting the battery directly to the MagSafe power port?
Only manage to find "FastMac�s TruePower U-Charge", which seems rather useful but it's not available for Unibody MBP YET

I have a brand new iMac. But I can't print because it won't find my HP photosmart wireless printer (B110 series) My old Macbook pro 10.6.8 has no problem. I've tried switching on and off etc all to no avail. When I click to add a printer, nothing is found. The only thing that I've not tried is connecting with an ethernet cable, but I shouldn't have to. The printer is next to the computer.

Suddenly, my HP Photosmart 7525 isn't recognized by my (wife's) iMac. Ny iMac prints to it wirelessly just fine. I downloaded the printer driver (several time), loaded it and the iMac reverted to the HP Utility to finalized the process. The utility couldn't recognized the "device" to finish off the driver. Same thing when I loaded the Photosmart 6525 (my printer). The iMac apparently isn't loading the drivers. It worked fine a day or two ago, now, nada. WiFi works fine thru the AirPort/TimeCapsule module/router. The printer wifi works with other computers.

My iMac is very slow. It only works on wifi. Ive got good cat 6 hard wire to cox business and its fast internet. but it wont work on the network. it says i need an ip address. it says the internet is connected but needs an ip address. Ive got it on dhcp auto. but not working. All other computers work fine with dhcp. It says the computer is connected but does not have an ip address. Not possible if its set in dhcp as that is supposed to give you a rolling ip address. Ive got a cisco gigabit switch that is working well with 10 - 15 other computers working fine on it. Ive changed the port multiple times in the switch. rebooted of course. nothing works.

I have an ethernet cable. i have an alu macbook. i have an iMac. i need to transfer files between the two. tried connecting the ethernet cables. on the macbook it says "ethernet cable not plugged in"
on the iMac it says "ethernet cable not plugged in".
i know the ethernet cable works because i brought my macbook up to my router and used the ethernet cable to connect to the internet. it is Cat5 or whatever. i've tried everything static IP addresses. restarting. replugging. over and over and over. no luck. the macs just pretend there is no ethernet cable plugged in. tried DHCP. tried manually. but it works when i connect my macbook to my modem.
i've tried everything. i've googled, i've mroogled. nothing works. i spend two hours trying to work this out myself before coming here. every single webpage online just says "oh just turn on file sharing LOL then it works" not for me it doesn't. i've tried that. i've tried it over and over and over again. it doesn't work for me. still won't recognize.
i'd use wireless connection to transfer but that'd take like 20+ hours to send 60GB+ of data. too long (iMac is not at my house) are ethernet cables just fail? this is a BRAND NEW 20 inch imac and a aluminum macbook from 2008.

He is running on a powerbook g4. For years (like 10 or so) he has been using an HP Deskjet 952c to print via USB.
We have recently gotten a Lexmark laser printer that prints wirelessly for the entire office. For a month or two, he was able to use both. He began to have trouble with the wireless printer and we had to delete and then re-add it to his print & fax in System preferences. That worked for the wireless, but then after doing that he was not able to print with his USB HP printer.
We went through the same process of turning the printer off then back on, then later deleted it from the print & fax menu, however, when trying to add it back on, his computer is not detecting it's connection. I have tried resetting his printer and unplugging and re-plugging all of the connections, and still it is not mounting or being recognized.
I don't know what could be causing this or what possible solutions there are. I wouldn't think it would be a driver issue as it is an old printer and has been working up until a few days ago, until his issue with the wireless printer.
Something that could be of note too is that his Entourage has recently crashed, however, I don't know if this would have any effect on his printer connection. Of course I would like this problem to be fixed, but maybe it's just time for an upgrade.

I have recently had to stop using my wireless router and connect directly from my modem to the WAN port on my computer. However, I can only achieve an internet connection when I direct connect into my PowerBook G4. When I try to connect into my iMac, I get nothing.

My daughter came to me with this problem and I am unable to fix it. Her account on her macbook pro has Safari and Google Chrome and both do not load pages. The wifi has full bars, but the websites do not load. At the bottom left corner on Chrome it says "Establishing Wi-fi Connection" but it seems to never actually establish the connection. On the admin account on her mac, everything works fine; this problem seems to only happen with her account. The wifi is ask great on all other electronics. I rarely use the admin account; it was only created to put Parental Controls on her account. However, now she has to use the admin account for homework and cannot use her original account. My daughter told me that this problem has been happening for a few months now, but it only happened occasionally and was easily solved by restarting Safari or Google Chrome. However, recently it has been happening a lot more often.

I have a Dell Desktop running XP connected to a Linksys router. Also, there is a Canon MX700 connected to the router via ethernet. I would like to set this up so that both the Mac and PC can print to the Canon over the network. The Dell prints fine to the Canon, but when I try to enter the IP address of the printer (192.168 etc.) into the macbook, things do not work. A window comes up saying "192.168... is busy. Will try again in 20 second.

I have an eMac 1Ghz with 10.3.9 on it and I just bought a new Lexmark Wi-Fi Printer. I have no Extreme card, just a Netgear Wired/Wireless router that's obviously connected to my eMac via CAT5 cable. I set up the printer for wireless, hoping my eMac would use the router as a card-substitute type deal. Well it doesn't. Cannot connect as if it were not there.
