How do I set quality preferences, photo paper etc. for my Cannon MG6150 printer, I am used to seeing these options at the print dialogue box, these don't seem to be on offer.
My road to Snow Leopard was a bumpy one. I was given all sorts of bad advice at many forums across the internet, mostly by snobby people. Finally found some helpful adults at the Apple discussions forum who suggested a total re-install of everything. Obviously my upgrade install never worked, as CS4, Quicktime, system dialog boxes were crashing, and MS Office 2004 never opened. Next I tried clean install and migration assistant. That didn't clear up any of the crashing problems either. The third time did work though, and if some of you are experiencing the same crashes, please take note.
You'll need to build up the system back from scratch. Yup, no upgrade, no migration assistant, you'll need to re-install everything with a brand new user account. That's how I finally got Snow Leopard to behave with all my apps, extensions, and utilities. Photoshop CS4 works properly now, MS Office 2004 opens, and no crashing on the system dialog boxes. Eye One Match calibrated my displays with no problems, despite its PPC nature. So now I'm a happy camper, my $29 didn't get wasted, but it wasn't an easy way to make OS X 10.6 work. I do wish Apple had put out some suggestions that a total re-install might clear up some of the bugs. So now I'll just get back to work, because everything works again!
I tried to install a Cannon 620 printer. It seemed to go ok, showed up on the printer list when I tried to send a job, but it wouldn't come online and print. I fiddled around (bad idea) and changed the printer sharing parameters, and now whenever I try to go into system preferences, printer/fax, it freezes and I have to force quite. Same with other apps when I try to do something with the printer (like word). I tried to uninstall, but can't get to the driver to uninstall it, as it is in systems preferences. how to uninstall even though I can't get into the system pref printer options?
I have an Epson NX 510 printer that I have been able to print on easily up until a few weeks ago. I have upgraded my Macbook Pro to OS X Lion so I got new printer software and still my computer wouldn't recognize the printer all the time. Sometimes I can print and sometimes I can't. What can I do?
I recently tried to use my final cut express program and it would not open.I called Apple and I was told that it ran in my older iMac because I had Snow Leopard installed in it and I upgraded to Lion, now, my new iMac doesn't have Snow Leopard in it and Im out of luck. Not only do I like FCE, I learned to use it and I want to continue doing so, I bought it from the Apple store and later I also purchased the upgrade, can I have both OS's in my mac and choose the start up disk like I did iwth OS9 and OSX?
Currently I have an iMac 10.5.8 with an Intel Core 2 Duo and 2Go Ram. Since January I didn't had much system updates because my software is apparently too old ... And I am kind of paranoid about the Trojans that I might have because I use the old version plus Safari is getting blocked very often. So I decided to by first Snow Leopard and then Lion. The thing is that I live in Norway & I will have to use the Norwegian apple store to by those programs but my OS X is in French. So I was wondering if I will be able to choose my language or the whole system will be automatically in Norwegian? The second question is to know if it is difficult to upgrade? I am a Mac user because I don't have any clues about the computers and Mac is always working. I read some complaints from people who after installing Snow Leopard couldn't use properly their printers or other apps... Is there is something I (completely ignorant person) should be aware of before doing the upgrade? Â
I received the Snow Leopard upgrade disc from Apple. The instructions read to simply upgrade to SL version 10.6.8 after running the installation disc, and then to purchase the Lion upgrade from the Mac App. However, this SL version seems to be 10.5.8, and none of the 10.6.8 or lower updates will work. I found a 10.6.1, but that won't install either. They all say that I need OS 10.6 and I can't find it. I have a 2009 iMac with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
Info: iMac (20-inch Early 2009), Mac OS X (10.5.8)
After having reformated my HD, I want to set-up again the OS on a 2 years old MacBookPro, delivered then with start-up DVDs (Leopard or Snow Leopard). In between this Mac was upgraded to Lion. Can I use the original disks? Or do I have to use the hidden Lion partition?
Ive recently purchased an iPhone 4s and wish to use the iCloud.I found out i had to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard to Lion in order to connect via iCloud. But now i have purchased Lion, it wont allow me to install.Its showing a message of "Recovery system cannot be created" and i cant find any solutions. I have checked the system requirements and thats all fine.
How can I play back a film that was worked on VLC (.avi) on my Mac?Someone made a Spanish subtitle on my docu-film and sent it to me from Mexico, so I downloaded VLC free download for Mac, but it's not opening on my computer.Â
I've been reading a lot on the process of downgrading from Lion to Snow Leopard. But it all seems a bit blurry as no actual facts are posted, and I couldn't find out if its only possible for machines that did not come with Lion pre-installed (mine did). I'm really keen on downgrading so I can get back to work. The compatibility with most of the audio plugins I use is not good, so I'd rather just keep working with the previous operating system. I have read a lot of the other threads on this matter, but the main point here is if it is possible to downgrade in a machine that came with Lion preinstalled. I've seen videos on how to do it, but they don't mention if it works on any Mac or only in those that, at some point, already had a version of Snow Leopard installed.
I have a new iMac and I want to transfer my Apple Mail from my older Mac Book Pro running Snow Leopard to it. I've zipped up the Mail folder that was under Library and I found out how to access the hidden Library on my iMac. I see mail has changed a bit in Lion and before I unzip my mail folder into /Library/Mail, I want to make sure I won't screw anything up.Â
I have iMac(intel) with lion installed. I created a new partition and I want to install snow leopard on it. can you please give step by step. I guess I have to go through Target mode by using another mac but just want to make sure if there is another way.
how can I run powerpc apps on lion so I dont have to install SL?
I need to install snow leopard on intel imac that is already running lion. I have created new partition and try to boot off of Install Disk 10.6.4 but it never completely comes up all the way to start install.
My HP A-I-O printer is not working under SL. Tried deleting the printer in Prefs. and reinstalling the drivers a bazillion times. I even went out and bought a *new* HP printer and I'm experiencing the same problems.
I just installed Snow Leopard successfully, but it doesn't know my HP2600N network laser printer. It's not in the support document and the closest printer, a 2605N is supprted. But HP's site says "HP LaserJet - Software Information for Mac OS X 10.6" and "Obtain Software", but there's nothing there. Any idea of when HP will support the 2600N? (All other upgrades had no problem with the 2600N).
Can people who have issues with printers post there models and tell the problems... I am having an issue with my HP C4480 printer/scanner. It prints fine but for some reason scanning is not working at all.. yet worked perfectly fine in leopard.
I have tried re installing the software 3 times now to no avail.
I need a printer for my macbook running snow leopard. I want an all in one. The 2 I use the most (daily) are scanning & printing (mostly documents). I want something that has reasonably priced ink and separate ink cartridges. And ALL functions on the printer to work.
We just bought our second MAC. Spouse decide we needed another so we could both have one. One thing I LOVE about my Mac is : It just works. I want my printer to just work from the get go too.
About every other day, my Mac keeps losing connection to a Brother USB laser printer. I have to disconnect the USB connnection and reconnect it to get the Mac to see it as being online. I've used this printer on this Mac for years without problems.
