After clicking System Preference how do I get SCAN option to appear so documents can be scanned? Currently only the Print option is visible and having no problems with printing. Printer is a HP Laser Jet 300.
View 1 RepliesI have an HP printer and I can't use the scan option because it doesn't show up on my computer. ANd when I try it from the printer it gives me an error window.

This morning, On my Macbook Pro, I was able to use the option-tab shortcut to cycle through windows within an application. This afternoon, when I do the same keystroke, I just get a tab character. Or I cycle through the links on a website.
The option key is working, as I can use other keyboard shortcuts. I even plugged in an external keyboard and it is responding to the option key. But the shortcut option-tab appears to no longer be working.
I have the fear that I accidentally pressed some weird key combination without realizing it that remaps the key for accessibility purposes. I've looked around the system preferences and I can't see anything that would reassign the combo.
Does anyone have an idea of what happened?
The bluetooth option is no longer available on my MacBook.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe speakers on my Macbook have suddenly stopped working. If you plug headphones in, fine. In the system preferences, 'built in speakers' are no longer an option for audio output. Just 'digital out'. When I try and change the volume of the speakers, the symbol is greyed out, and there's a little "you can't do this" symbol.

In calendar when I go to create a new event, and set an alert there is a list of options. I was wonder how to customize/add an option to say something like "1 day before (3:15PM)", so that I wouldn't have to re-enter it each time because I use this alert frequently, but not on every event. I have my calendar synced to my gmail as well and I have OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 on a Macbook Pro.

I am trying to use the Internet Sharing Option on my Macbook Pro. But when I go to System Preferences>>Internet Sharing, I see that the internet sharing option is greyed out and is not editable, I mean I am not able to select it or make any changes to it.

In the Print window the option to Print Selection is messing since the Mavericks update. I have only 1 option and that is to ring the whole page. What I am having to do now is copy and paste what I want to print into Text Edit then print.

In FCPX 10.1.3 I was able to set in Preferences the Playback Quality to High Quality. I just purchased FCPx 10.1.4. It has NO such High Quality Option for Playback Quality. Â
Now all my still clips are blurred badly.  Is there an option to set a High Quality Playback Option. Or can I download 10.1.3, the level where that worked ?Â

I am trying to print in 'draft mode' with my Epson xp 215 and I can't find this option under 'Media Quality'.
Does the printer misses this option or is it something with the apple software.
For the rest it works really fine.

I ran my usual check on the mac drive via "Verify Disk" option. It came up with "needs repair"...etc., and told me to repair it. I did a command r during boot so I could do a repair, and the software told me "your mac drive seems to be ok"??? Some kind of glitch, or need I worry about it at all?

What's the deal with the lack of a 4GB option? I would think this would be a no brainer for a Pro ultra portable like the air... I'm really surprised they still don't offer it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is something that's confused me ever since I got a Mac. Everyone talks about Option-whatever key stroke and it took me a while (a long while!) to figure out they were referring to the "Alt" key. So, Why the difference in naming here?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI cannot start up my Mac Pro 2008 without holding down the Option key.My Snow Leopard internal hard drive failed, so I replaced my failed internal drive with a brand new one and put the cloned backup onto it. I also have other internal drives and partitions with systems 10.5.6, 10.7.5, and 10.8.4. I briefly added a Mavericks partition, but removed it.Â
I THINK the problems started after the HD failure, but I'm not sure. I added no peripherals recently, although I did add 4 gigs of RAM which were faulty and I had to replace them. But they test fine with a memory test. If I Restart, the Mac comes up with a grey screen and won't boot into any system.
If I Shut down, then Start up, I get the gray screen. In System Preferences, I can see every single possible Startup Drive, but no matter which one I select, the same gray screen happens on boot up. However, if I hold down the Option key (from startup or restart), then I can choose any startup volume and it starts just fine.Â
I've run Disk Utility many times for Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions on every volume. I've run Disk Warrior. I've zapped the SMC/PRAM, etc. I've tried starting up from external firewire drives and USB drives. No matter which drive I select in StartUp Disk Preferences, it's the same grey screen. I've tried starting up with ZERO peripherals attached except for USB keyboard and mouse. I've taken out all startup and login items. I don't mind using the Option key every time, but I'm worried it's a sign of impending problems.Â

I never thought I'd say it, but after decades of PC use I am finally seriously considering switching to the world of Mac, which would entail a pretty massive data migration. Anyone know if there's a way to just link up my ATA hard drive from my PC to a Mac via USB or firewire or something, and just transfer the data (word docs, photos, music - obviously not apps) to the hypothetical new Mac? That would be a heck of a lot easier than burning a jillion CDs in order to transfer the data, which is my current best option.
Also, and this is more obscure, and might not even be possible, but I figure I'd ask - I've been using Eudora as a mail client for years (really old version, 3.0, still works under XP believe it or not). I would love to be able to migrate my mail. Eudora 3.0 stores the mail as text in these files marked ".mbx", but of course, it's not that simple, because to actually index them, the app has to refer to corresponding "table of contents" files with a ".toc" extension. I could transfer the .mbx files to a new mac easily enough - I mean, they're just text - but it would be lovely, so lovely, to keep the indexing. Anyone know of a converter out there that could carry that all over into a mail client, any mail client, for Mac OS?
