I am working on an I-Mac that runs on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I can print directly (via USB port) to my OKI 822 printer. However, I can’t get it to work via network (LAN cable) so that I can print from other computers (PC) as well. I have added and deleted the printer many times and also tried...

I've purchased both, as the Netgear was on sale for $25 less than the AE. I've set up the AE and it was a breeze. According to speedtest.net, i'm near 60mbps in the office with the macmini, which has ac. The older computer about 20 feet from the router seems to be doing fine as well. We have a...

I recently updated both my MB as well as my wife's MBA to 10.10.3. Now I realize that AirDrop does not work. I searched on Google where it was suggested to log off of iCloud and to log back into it. This was supposed to fix the problem. I didn't see what or how that would fix the problem but...

I want to be able to watch films on my TV as and from whom I please. I’m not interested in the all-singing-dancing prepackaged offerings as come Roku, Apple TV, etc. I thought I had found the solution in a Samsung BD-H6500 blu-ray player which, as well as playing DVDs and offering its own...

Hi, My school have a netboot system, where every time a computer reboots, it wipes the local HD. I believe this is achieved via the 'Customise' option using Automator when the network admins created the netboot share. My question is this: Is there any way to stop the mac from formatting the...

I can connect to my router using the laptop via wi-fi, but when I close the laptop the connection drops. When I log back into the laptop I have to manually connect back to the wi-fi. I can't work out why this is happening and would appreciate any advice.
