  • WHAT? No PC compatibility? -:(

    I mean yeah, it's understandable, being "Apple" and all, but this won't work with a printer (hp) that's paired with my PC? I don't expect to be able to send something from my iTouch 4G to my PC as a pdf/jpg, but am I at least able to get my printer to print it from my iPod?

  • @NeverMind88888 There is a solution for Windows machines, you'll need to look for the AirPrint Hacktivator, which is free.

  • Could you do a video showing how to pair up the ipod touch or iphone or ipad with a mac or apple tv

  • @101ipodguy Pair? To what extent? I do have videos on the Remote App for the Apple TV, t hat's the only way of pairing to an iOS device. As for a Mac, you can pair for bluetooth tethering but nothing else because the iOS device doesn't have a transparent file directory.

  • @detroitBORG thanks im thinking about getting the capsule, if i got te airport extreme and a seperate external hard drive it would probably add up to the same amount

  • @snipers28 Keep in mind that you can't use an attached HDD on the AirPort Extreme as a Time Machine backup drive, it can only work with the Time Capsule (it uses proprietary software to packet the data over a wireless network and on the TC can do so).

  • @unmashable You need local network access, but you don't need internet.

  • @NeverMind88888 with my hp printer, there is an app called HP iprint

  • thanks , im getting the ipad for x mas so ill get one of them another time :)

  • @JdEnigma07 Technically no, you have to use a service on your Mac to serve the printer to the iOS device. Currently the only printer that supports driverless printing is the e-print series from HP, and there you can print directly without having to go through a computer.

  • Will AirPrint support any printer?

  • İ cannot watch it on iphone !
