  • My TimeCapsule airport can not find my printer via the USB port

    Hello.

    I have a HP Laserjet cp1215.

    I had to reset my TimeCapsule because my Xbox has an update and will not connect to internet.

    Then theres no reaction when I connect my printer to the TimeCapsule.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    When you reset the TC which settings you changed?

    Have a different IP address?

    Remove the printer to the computer and start the installation... If the TC changes IP it can mess up the connection.

    In the contrary case, we need a lot more info about what happened and your entire network. Printers can be extremely difficult to get running... the end plug it into a computer as it was designed to be... A USB printer is not network... and no USB print server cannot overcome the fundamental nature of the printer... It is designed for local use. Ultimately, that he will always give you problems.

  • I can't connect to my mac because the SHIFT key is down. Then he showed the top letter and can not connect... The mac is also overheating. I went to the apple store and they said that they cannot fix and need to send to the factory. Connection of same slo

    I just used my mac. I bought it on January 2014.

    A few months ago I couldn't connect to my mac more. There is nothing special on my mac to record.

    He was showing the wrong password when I tried to connect to my mac. It is overheating sometimes without help.

    So, I brought it to the apple store and they said that the shift key is down and therefore superior letter is all the time. and they could not help me open on the inside. Apple store guys suggested me to display somewhere or send it to the factory.

    My question is

    (1) what should I do

    (2) if I send to the factory or should go to the repair shop.

    you guys have an idea what the problem with my mac?

    I suggest you send to the factory, or if you have an apple authorized dealer / repair shop to fix the SHIFT key first, then a glance as to why the fan is still running hot.

    Maybe something has damaged the keyboard (shift key) area and also the fan internal.

    You can't have something special on the computer, but I'd always spend extra money to repair.

    The sooner, the better.

    If you need take photos or documents off the power the computer have you tried to connect an external keyboard to type your password?

  • Can not connect Equium M70 to the Internet via an Ethernet cable

    I have recently install wide telewest broadband via the installation disc. I used the provided ethernet cable. During installation, I received an error message stating that it could not connect due to various problems.
    After a long discussion with the customer service and try several solutions over the phone we wouldn't always get connection using the ethernet cable.
    Telewest has also provided a USB cable so I was told to remove the ethernet connection and plug in the USB. The connection has been made instantly.

    Has been informed by the technical support of Telewest, that I had a problem ethernet on the laptop. This could be correct, or maybe it was an ethernet cable from the spleen.
    Any suggestions? My laptop is only four months.

    Hello

    It is not easy to believe that the network adapter does not work on your laptop. What is the status of LAN in Device Manager? When the cable is connected is the assets of orange or green led or not? Try also to start ConfigFree tool. Under the physician connectivity tab, you can see their actual situation and if there is a problem of communication it will be shown here.

    If there is any attempt of trying to test it on another network (perhaps in your company).
    You can also contact your dealer and allow it to check the device. It can be done in the store and may not take a lot of time.

  • 8500 getting wrong ip address - can not connect or print

    The installation of my new 8500 (A909a) is going very well - and I was able to print correctly.  24 hours later (after the printer was turned off or gone to 'low power')-j' was able to print is no longer.

    Have you some troubleshooting - and the strange thing I noticed is that the IP address of the printer in the Network Configuration Page is 169.254.45.149.  The computer and the router signal that IP address should be 192.168.0.127 (all other devices on my network have addresses of 192.168.0. *-According to the DHCP of the router settings).

    I even tried to set the IP, subnet mask and the gateway to the values I think that the router waits (192.168.0.127, 255.255.255.0, 192.168.0.1 respectively) - and still no luck.

    I restarted the router, PC and shut off/on the printer - still nothing.  And I can't ping the IP address of the printer in either case (169.254.45.149 or 192.168.0.127).

    8500 is related to a wired to a wireless DLINK Dir625 router.

    I am running Vista if it's important.

    Where it becomes the 169.254. *. * IP address - and more importantly, how it be reconnected?

    Thank you in advance!

    Book an IP address of your router for the printer (probably 192.168.0.127).  Stop the router and the printer.  Then restart the router, wait, then restart the printer.

  • How can I connect Epson R1800 with the new iMac?

    Older to make sure printer, but it is good quality and I have a lot of ink and the large photo paper I want to use up. The printer is connected to my iMac plus old (2009) with the cable provided with the printer and an ethernet (Sonnet simply fast) adapter. It seems that the new iMac is a 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45 connector). Although my Sonnet connector seems to fit in the port, I can't get the computer to recognize that there is a connected printer. Until I can do that, it seems that I can't download the printer driver and everything what I need Epson. (Old iMac died, failed to retrieve the latest driver from there).

    So do I need a different Ethernet adapter? Alternatively, I have USB ports available, how to connect to the printer with a USB connection?

    This printer has a USB port so just connect with a USB cable to the USB port on the iMac.  Download and install drivers from here: printer drivers Epson v3.2 for OS X.

    After installing drivers go to Scanners & printers/system to complete installation.

    Maybe this can help.

    These steps and tell us where is the breaking point.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    ------------------

    The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

    To ensure that if there is Wireless Utility a seller is not running with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

    ----------------

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Some 3rd AV/Firewall/security software part, s costume keep blocking aspects of Local traffic even it they are off (disabled).

    If possible set up the firewall correctly, /Security costume otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

    If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

    The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

    * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

    * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    A message in the small window that says connected wireless doesn't means that you are really a valid functional connection.

    Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.

    Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see.

    If it doesn't connect to the router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.
