How do I network an ethernet printer with no ethernet

Hi:

We just moved to a new house which does not have any ethernet. We are supposed to rely on WiFi.

Our Brother laser printer only talks via ethernet. My hope is I can connect the printer to my iMac with an ethernet cable and continue using it.

It appears to not be that simple.

My iMac will not talk to the printer because we are no longer connected to the Apple Router via ethernet cables. I think I somehow need to tell my iMac what the address (???) is for the
printer but have no idea what the settings might be.

Any assistance you can provide will be appreciated.

iWork?

Just curious as to whether iWork 9 (version 2.0.3) will still work in El Capitan.

Not fond of some of the changes in later versions and I despise the tabbed spreadsheets in current versions of Numbers. With a wide aspect ratio monitor, adding those tabs at the top is a complete waste of precious real estate.

External Drives and daisy chaining

With my Synology NAS on the way, I'm thinking about my extra external hard drive enclosures which have Firewire 800, USB 2 and eSata ports. Since the Synology has USB 3 ports, it would still be limited by my enclosure's USB 2 ports. The NAS also has an eSata port, which is quite a bit faster than USB 2. My question is, can my second drive be daisy chained either through eSata or Firewire? Or, is eSata specifically designed as a one drive system and no daisy chaining permitted, either through eSata or FW?

Is Audacity compatible with El Capitan?

Specifically Audacity 2.0.0 which I have been using with OS 10.6.8 before upgrading to El Capitan

Audacity is up to a slight;y later version - 2.1.2 but I read that some people can't even install it on El Capitan.

Anyone use it with El Capitan or knows what the real scoop is?

Thank-you

Ron Glass, of Firefly and Barney Miller fame, as passed away at 71.



Glass' co-star in Barney Miller, the seemingly immortal Abe Vigoda, in fact passed away in January this year.

Browncoats everywhere are lowering their flags to half staff today as word has come out that Emmy-nominated actor Ron Glass has passed away at the age of 71. One of Glass’ agents is confirming his passing and Friends have already been reporting that he is thought to have passed away peacefully at his Los Angeles home yesterday.

Help Downloading A Copy Of Mavericks

I have a friend who has an older MBP running Snow Leopard. Her Mac Mini is running Mavericks and she does her payroll files in Numbers, but if she uses the MBP to create a Numbers file, it won't open it on the Mini.

Solution should be easy, just upgrade the MBP to Mavericks and all is good.

So when I go to her App Store, there is no Mavericks in her purchased page.

No sweat, think I, I will just download it from my App Store on my machine and use a USB stick to install on hers. Done deal.

But wait. When I try to download from my purchased area, I get the notice below.

So I call Apple and they cannot help me and they tell me to go to an authorized Mac dealer and buy a copy on disk.

Surely there is a way around this? Or is there? Any suggestions appreciated.

How to "see" an iMac from a Linux machine?

I have a mid-2010 MacBookPro (17 inch) that's currently running macOS Sierra. It has 8gigs of RAM and a 1TB HDD, but it's extremely slow to boot (takes around ten minutes actually).

Also, Opera and Firefox launch immediately and run fine, but Safari, upon launch, keeps bouncing in the dock for around 5-6 minutes before it launches, and even then, beachballs for a few minutes before letting me type anything into the URL bar. And when it does let me type, it echoes even keystroke in slo motion and keeps beach balling for a long time before I am able to use Safari.

Please note this happens only with Safari. Other browsers launch immediately and are usable immediately.

So, with all this happening, I am considering trashing macOS from that machine and install Linux Mint on it.

Now comes the issue:

I also have an iMac which has all my data and media. What I do is, I turn on the MacBook Pro, go to Finder, click on the iMac (under shared computers) and login with my ID and password, and then drag files (movies or TV shows etc.) from the iMac onto the MacBook Pro to watch in my living room.

Now, since both machines run macOS, this step is seamless. However, were I to move the MacBook Pro over to Linux, I need to know how to basically do the same thing. I would like to open my Linux MBPro, "see" the iMac, go to my folder there, and drag files onto the Linux MBPro.

I tried googling, but all the info I found are either very very old (2006, 2008 etc.) and talk about Samba etc., or talk about virtual machines on the same physical machine.

I was wondering if some of you might be able to give me some pointers on how to accomplish this, or at least direct me to some proper documentation or instructions on how to do this.

Thanks and cheers

considering Time Capsule....

I've been thinking about the convenience of using Time Capsule to keep a time Machine backup without having to hook up an external drive all the time. Can't help but wonder if there's any new generations of TC on the horizon, since the last one was released June, 2013.

Any users here making much use of the TC? Can one easily install a larger drive in them?

From what I understand, you can do the initial backup over ethernet and then let wi-fi do its thing on the rest. Is this correct?

Any comments are welcome.

Lightning to USB Camera Cable with Dragonfly Red & iPad, iPhone issue

I'm using the Dragonfly Red on both my iPad 2 and iPhone 5S, and connecting via Apple's Lightning to USB Camera Adapter.

If I nudge the cable, either headphone or Apple adapter, the music starts cutting out, slowing down and is un-listenable (I'm listening on headphones and Spotify).

I've fiddled with the Lightning connection to get the sound back to normal and it either will go back to normal, or I have to pause the music and press Play again.

Any ideas if I have a bad cable or ??? It would seem odd that my Lightning input on BOTH my iPad and iPhone are bad for this to be consistently happening.

Another Apple Mail Sierra question

Hopefully this one is more straightforward then other issues I have had with Apple mail in Sierra.

I have a very large inbox, going back years. When I do a search it brings up the oldest email to the top first, and newest at the bottom. I want to reverse this, so when I search newest is at the top and oldest at the bottom. I am using the classic view. The sorting is fine, newest at the top, oldest at the bottom, it just does not do this when I do a search.

Is this not possible to change or have I missed a setting somewhere?

MacBook Pro 15" 8,2 - HD upgrade with data doubler - Need Clarity!

Hey guys,

I'm going to be doing some work on my MBP 8,2 15" next month including:

Swapping primary drive to SSD
Removing optical drive and adding a HDD via data doubler
New Battery

I have been reading that SATA III 6G drives are not supported/ stable / or generally don't work but what I can't tell from all of that is whether or not the drives will work, just at the 3G speeds or if they actually fail is some way.

I'm asking because the availability of 1TB HD that are 7200 rpm and SATA 3G are very limited and there are tons of options in the newer SATA 6G. If the drive work just not at top speed then I'll just get one of those but I don't want to have drives failing on me.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks!

Easy way to remove hard drive from 2006 iMac before trashing it

So my 2006 iMac just won't start up again. Nothing. Dead.

Because I basically used it as a media centre, I didn't often back it up but I think there's a few things on it that I wouldn't mind getting back or at least making sure nothing's on there that I'd like.

I really don't see any point in paying someone $75 to remove the hard drive to check it out, though.

All the videos/tutorials are very careful about how to remove the hard drives because the assumption is the iMac will be passed along or updated.

I'm not going to do that so I can be 'less careful' in getting it out (but not destroying the hard drive itself).

Anybody done something like this (and lived to tell the tale)?

Many thanks!

Apple mail in Sierra not showing attachment paper clip

I upgraded to Sierra on my work machine (5K iMac) on the weekend. Everything works fine, apps and all. I did notice an issue with Mail though, emails come in, but some do not show the paperclip indicating they have an attachment. Some do and some don't, it is strange. The ones that do show the paperclip though are emails that came in before I updated to Sierra. I have done all the updates for MacOS. Anyone have any idea why I don't see the paperclip for attachments? It is on for sure as I see them on old emails. It happens with all sorts of file types, from zipped files, to pdfs, to word files.

Slow cable speed

In anticipation of cutting the TV portion of my cable, I was doing speed tests on my Shaw internet service. Turns out my 5Mbps package is delivering a pathetic 1Mbps. That's one computer hooked directly by ethernet to the modem with TV turned off.

Since I will be running 2 instead of 1 computers I had been intending to up the ante to 15 or 30 Mbps, but now I am wondering if the actual speed will show any real improvement or is this a question that service in my area is so oversubscribed that there is no hope for any real improvement.

Modem dates back to when the advertised speed was a bit over 1Mbps. Could that be the bottleneck?
