iMac wifi assigns it\’s own ip address…: Apple Support Communities. It turns out that the poster solved his own problem. All he had to do is reboot the entire ATT Uverse system and it instantly worked.
Is Lion Server suitable for home use? Ars investigates. Apple is going to have to do better than this if they think that Enterprises are going to support them. I think Apple has given up on the Enterprise 10 years ago, and never really cared then either. For me, this isn’t enough to promise stability to anyone.
HP LaserJet M1522 Scanning in Lion?: Apple Support Communities. Thanks DocStan. Normally using old software causes problems, but I suppose it is worth trying when nothing else works.
HI.
I just got my printer scanning on the network. It works from both my iMac and MacBook (wirelessly) and here’s how:
1. GO to HP’s website: www.hp.com and click on “Support and Drivers” at the top
2. Click on “Drivers and Software” on the next page
3. Search for the M1522 (I have a M1522nf) and click on the printer that you want
4. THIS IS KEY: When the list of OS comes up choose “Mac OS X” WITH NO VERSION EXTENSION – that is don’t go to “Mac OS X 10.7″
5. Download and install the most recent version of hte driver. I ended up with:
HPLaserJetM152MFPseries1.4.0.dmg
6. Run the program and install the software.
You do not need to plug the USB cable into the printer if it is a networked printer.
7. You can then scan from “HP Director” – the program you’ve installed.
Image Capture doesn’t work, you need to use the HP software, but so far that works well for me. I’ve done it on both my Macs.
Review: Iomega 2TB Mac Companion Hard Drive | TechCrunch. This pricing is way off. For 3TB $449 is almost the same as the Time Capsule at $499. A Time Capsule offers so much than this unit. Iomega has never impressed me. I would never buy one myself. Every experience I have had with the company has been to deal with their failures.
Force Quit Applications warning on iMac…: Apple Support Communities. Interesting that it lists 3 programs that must be memory leakers. I seem to do better avoiding Firefox and Safari. Can’t really avoid the Finder but that is nice to know that restarting it may fix issues. The solution is below:
I just upgraded the recent version of Safari 5.1.2 for Snow Leopard and it’s supposed to fix the memory leak that’s eating up my RAM. Hopefully that will fix the problem.
You can’t use AirDrop over ethernet, so if you try to connect to a wired machine, it won’t work. Kellow goes into more detail below.
I might have found the reason behind the aforementioned behavior:
The AirDrop feature is apparently a Lion/AirPort-feature, and not a Lion/network-feature, meaning, if the iMac is connected to the network through a cable (RJ45), the above described behavior is the result.
The third issue mentioned, is apparently just how AirDrop works. AirDrop needs to be “activated” by Finder, which opens a ad hoc network though the AirPort. This does limit the use cases a lot.
Now, if only Apple would consider implementing AirDrop in iOS, the use cases would make a lot more sense…
Mac Mini Media Centre | The Hickensian | Hicksdesign – StumbleUpon. Some great details and experience with this setup. Personally I would only get a Mac TV if I wanted to screen share an iPad. Otherwise I would use a Mac Mini like he did.
raspberryaddiction said the solution.
There is a simple fix. Shut down the mac; unplug for 15 seconds. Plug in; wait 5 seconds. Then press the power button once. That should reset the SMU and fix the isight. It did for me.
