Software :: HP ScanJet 5300c - Verifying Installations Of Drivers
Sep 26, 2008
I have PowerMac G4, 1.25Ghz PowerPC, 1.25GB Ram, OSX 10.3.9 and want to use my HP 5300c scanner. I installed the HP Image Zone Ver 9.1.2 software that at least on the surface seemed to install the drivers. I am able to see the device on USB through both System Profile USB and Tech Tool pro 4. I suspect an HP driver installation problem or incorrect Driver /compatibility issue. How to verify the correct installation of the drivers, where to go to ensure that I have the correct drivers. There is no way to download software directly from HP, only through oexternal links into the HP site. If anyone knows of the correct links for the 10.3.x drivers, or have any other suggestions as to what they have done to get their HP ScanJet 5300c to work with Power PC G4 with OSX 10.3.x. I last used the HP 5300c with my iBook G3 under OS9, though that was a pain due to CP conflicts - Luckily I still use conflict catcher - and now I need to use it with the G4 under OSX.
If HP has a driver that will work on their scanjet 3770. I just upgraded to a MacBook Pro using Os X 10.7.4 and the scanner software is not compatible.
I went to HPs site to find they will not be supporting this model. I use it almost everyday to scan my jewelry creations for my website and Etsy store. I love Lion so far and needed to upgrade before my .mac services go away, I was told. The main requirement is good depth of field for 3D scanning.
I wiped out the hard drive and tried to install Snow Leopard and I got an error message and stopped the install. I started the computer again and went into disk utilities. Tried to do a disk repair and it failed. So I thought maybe I need to verify the disk. I did that and now it is telling me 17 hrs to complete? Should I just stop the verification?
i hv macbook air late 2010 11.6inch and i have been trying to set up my apple id for FaceTime but every time i put in my id and password and sign in it shows my other associated apple id and ask to mark the one that i want to link with FaceTime after doing so it says to verify and when i verify..it take some time about 5-10 seconds and then take me again to the very first page i.e., it asks again for apple id and password and it continues...and also face time preferences is GREYED OUT..

I have 3 Macs within my family that I would like to upgrade to SL. Sounds like the Family Pack upgrade would be a great purchase.
However, if at some point, I want to reinstall SL on a SL-loaded machine, do I need to reinstall Leopard, to get Snow Leopard to recognize the upgrade?
My old 120GB hard drive seemed to be flaky, and I needed the increased capacity, so I upgraded to a 500GB hard drive on my white MacBook. Install was not hard at all, I formatted and partitioned the drive, but I can't seem to install MacOS X (10.5) on it from the DVD's that came with my MacBook. It will boot to the installer DVD, allow me to select the hard drive, and starts the install. However, each time it ends with something along the lines of "Error verifying Essentials package", and advises me to contact the software manufacturer. (Strange that it advises contacting the "software manufacturer" rather than "Apple."). The DVD is pristine, no evidence scratches. I also had problems earlier performing an Archive & Install on the old drive, but I thought this was because it ran out of room. I can also boot the MacBook through my old drive, attached to a USB enclosure. Can that drive be used to install a new system?
I have a Mac Pro and am having several annoying problems. I'm new to Macs and I probably messed up my installation so I would like to start from scratch and reinstall Leopard on a brand new drive. Here's my question.. I would like to remove the old drive from bay 1 and replace it wit the new drive. After I install Leopard on the new drive can I put the old drive in the currently empty bay 4? Will I then be able to boot into either drive? The reason being that until I get the new installation configured properly and all my applications reinstalled, I may need access to the old installation. If this scenario will work, how do I select which volume to boot at start up?
What is the best way to back up your Windows install on your Mac? I have True Image v11, but for some reason it does not see my C drive*. I recently tried Winclone a Mac program and while free, after backing up my Windows install, Windows would no longer boot until after I repaired the OS using the Windows Install DVD. Any suggestions for a better way to backup Windows?
Finally I have both Windows 32bit and 64 bit Vista install disks. I'm going to resist 7 for now, but is there any good reason to upgrade Windows 32bit to 64bit and would it break anything on a current 32bit install? I do a lot of gaming. Thanks! *Update: TI sees the C drive as a Windows Dynamic drive which is unsupported.
I just got a new MacBook Pro today (2.4Ghz i5) and it kept freezing randomly, such as opening safari. I open disk utility, it says that S.M.A.R.T. is verified, when I verified the disk, it said "invalid node structure" and to repair using the Mac OS disk. I booted from the disk, disk utility failed to repair twice, but after the 3rd repair, it said repair was successful, but after a few days, same problem "invalid node structure." I've repaired the disk many times and I always get the same result a few days later, I've also reformat the laptop 3x with same problems reoccurring after a few days.
I read that using disk warrior was best to solve these problems, except I there were mixed results, some people said that it fixed their problems, others said it was just a temporary fix, so I don't wanna pay for a program that may or may not fix my problem.
Last experiment, I popped in the HDD into my sister's MacBook Pro (2.4GHz Intel Core2Duo) and did a clean install. After a few days of use, it starts to slow down, ran Disk Utility, S.M.A.R.T. status is verified, clicked repair disk, and same thing "invalid node structure."
I went to apple, Apple "Genius" said that there was nothing wrong with my laptop and just told me to do a clean install, which I did many times already. They kept it over night and called the next day to say that there was nothing wrong...
Having said this, how accurate is the S.M.A.R.T status? I search google and some people say that "Invalid node structure" is a sign that the HDD is failing.
Any of you guys experienced this problem, where the S.M.A.R.T. status is verified, even though the HDD is dying? I don't have money to experiment and buy another laptop HDD to install just to test this out so can you guys tell me your experience?
i am new to this forum and everybody seams nice, but i have come over a problem, my ibook g4 1.33ghz, 512 ram, 40 GB harddrive, 12.1 inch runing leopard 10.5.6. is now not verifying my external harddrive i have a seagate freeagent pro 500 GB. it was working fine for almost a half of a year. i know that the harddrive has a 5 year worinty but i dont want to lose all my stuff on the harddrive because i have most of my stuff on there like all of my photography stuff. and it asks me if i want to verify the drive or repair the drive and i tryed both of them and it says it failed both so then its telling me to back all of the files up and erase the disk and i dont have anywere to put all my files because the internal 40 GB harddrive isnt enough space to back it all up. so what i would like to know if there is another way to do this ?
I've been getting a Kernel Panic about once or twice a day.I tried the disk repair utility to see if that fixes the problem. I received the message in a dialog box:Disk Utility stopped verifying 'Macintosh HD' This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the Mac OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility.I tried restarting holding command-R. After a minute or two, I see the Apple logo. Then, after another couple minutes, I see a big grey circle-slash. Below that, I see the small loading progress circle. This does not go away - it stays there until I restart.

I am looking for an application that will check what the application installation installs. In other words, it keeps a log of created files/folders by the installation- so when I uninstall I can easily uninstall all the files/folders created by the application.
I'd like to know how to stop Mac from prompting me with the 'Enter an administrator account and password' dialog, I'd just like to install things, I do have a 'Managed' account (with Parental controls), but how do I stop that? is there a setting?
I've been trying to install OS X.5 on a new HD that I just installed into a Black MacBook... the DVDs are coming from an Aluminum MacBook. I have already formatted (Partitioned [1]) the HD so that it is in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and it's in GUID Partition Table Scheme. I restart the Laptop and it asks me what language I want to install OS X in, I pick English, and it stalls for about 30 seconds and then says: "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer."
Basically during installations, everything is reverting to French, even after switching to English I still get French menus like below. I did at some point have a dual language/keyboard option for English and French but now all French options are entirely unselected in every menu, preference etc..

I own a 13 inch Macbook Pro from 2010 which originally came installed with Snow Leopard 10.6.4. Over the course of my use of this macbook I upgraded it to Lion 10.7. Recently I made the decision to go back to SL and popped the OS X disc in (the disc it came with). The install of SL went fine and I didn't notice a problem until I rebooted into the new install and went to install iLife from the DVD that came with my Mac.Â
As soon as I enter my password into the installer and it begins the install process, it fails with a big yellow exclamation mark, simply saying the install failed. The same thing happened with my downloaded 10.6.8 combo update, so this proves it cannot be an issue with the DVD drive.Â
The only thing I can think of is that the OS X disc appeared scratched, so this may have resulted in a faulty install which meant it could then not allow the 10.6.8 update or iLife to be installed...Â
From the few posts that I have read, it looks like Mac also utilizes an admin account for installations, etc. and a standard account for the rest of the time. True? I was hoping that it is not true as it can be a pain, albeit a necessary pain.
If I create a second user account that does not get logged into unless I manually do it, and then install a program on it. Can the files on there be seen through the administrators account? If so, how would you hide that sort of thing so that the when the admin inputs the file name into finder, nothing shows up?
I've been having trouble backing up my MacBook Pro to my Time Capsule (hasn't backed up in months) so I ran Disk Utility and it gave the following error: Disk Utility stopped verifying "Hard Disk". This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk. So, if I do that, will I end up losing whatever is on my hard disk? And how do I start up the computer using the OS X disk? Just put it in and restart?
I have a white MacBook. I tried to update my 10.5.8 Leopard installation to Snow Leopard with the upgrade DVD I just got. Unfortunately, update failed on me. After being noticed by the installer that the update failed, I ended up with a NON-BOOTABLE MacBook, that whenever I try to boot from hard drive, after showing me 30 seconds of the "spinning ball" that indicates activity, shuts down. I tried it like 10 times, same result. What happens if I boot from DVD and try an installation that way? Will it try to upgrade? Will it wipe my hard drive content?
As I mentioned in a previous thread, I'm selling my iMac to buy a MacBook. The MacBook (2008 uMB) has arrived, with all the discs etc, which is brilliant.
My iMac however, came preloaded with Tiger, with a Leopard upgrade disc in the box. This Leopard disc has disappeared off the face of the planet, and so Apple are shipping one out to me, not sure when it will arrive. In the meantime, my auction ends tomorrow, so would it be possible to restore the iMac using the Leopard discs that have come with the MacBook, or is it safer to reinstall Tiger, and wait for the Leopard disc to arrive before shipping?
I recently installed the 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate operating system onto my MacBook Pro 13 inch. I have the most basic Macbook Pro 13 inch with nothing fancy added. Whenever I load up the Windows 7 OS on my Macbook, it never utilizes or even realizes that I have the NVIDIA graphics card in my laptop. It instead believes I have some integrated graphics card that cannot even run the most basic of PC games. I know my laptop can run these games because on OSX it runs multiple games with higher requirements than these games I am trying to run on Windows.
Basic question: How do I get bootcamp or whatever else to make Windows 7 realize I have a NVIDIA card and drivers. Sorry if I am coming off as stupid or confusing.
So i am trying to change my apple boot camp drivers to nvidia's, but i think i must have downloaded the wrong ones, or done something wrong. I tried to install Geforce/Ion driver release 192.62, (from nvidia's site, i selected gefore 8 series) and when i ran the setup it said: 'nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your hardware' . My questions are:
� Which drivers should i download? a link would be great. � Are there any pre-requisites i must do, such as install version 170 first?
I am using an iMac 24" with 4gb ram, 500gb 5400 rpm HDD, and 8800 GS 512mb.
The reason I am trying this, is because when i play some online games, i often get bad lag spikes, but that chat is still running. Someone recommended me to 'update my drivers'.
I have a Macbook plastic, 2.4 GHz intel core 2 Duo with 2 GB of ram.My Mac is currently running on OS X, i used to have a 40 gig partition Windows XP, a couple of friends of mine where talking about how much they liked Windows 7 and finally i had had enough blue screens to say, sure ill switch, why not?... assuming it would not take longer then lets say a day at most, i set off on my quest.
FWI, im running an older model Macbook that was bought refurbished (not sure if that has anything to do with my problem). anyway i removed my previous partition, then using Boot Camp Assistant i repartitioned a 40 gig section for Windows 7. Then ran the installer. I have a copy of Windows 7 ultimate 86x. The Windows boot screen turned up, i had to reformat the partition so that i could install, no problems there. after all said and done the installation worked perfectly, up to a point... First problem that appeared was the lack of sound. i fixed that by downloading Realtek's High Def sound drivers.
Then it was the rest of the drivers for the macbook. heres where i run into my problem, i have the Mac OSX install discs 1 and 2. inserting the first disc the option of the auto run of the setup popped up i clicked run. and instead of the same old install drivers option all i have is the option to install the software that lets macbook airs share cd/dvd drives... needless to say i got frustrated and to put it lightly pissed off...
unsure of wtf was going on i looked it up online and really couldnt find anyone with the same problem, i found a web page saying that i should have the windows auto update itself and that should fix the problem. it did not. i dont know what the hell is going on. and im about this close to reinstalling windows xp and telling windows 7 to go **** itself...
I can't find the answers I know its been asked before.
Its the 2010 MBP 13"
I have Windows 7 Professional 64bit running through parallels 5 and it seems to be missing alot of drivers (wireless most importantly, but also audio etc). Where can I get these, is it the same as bootcamp drivers( are they on one of the disks that come with macs?).
I've installed a legit copy of Windows XP, SP2. Nothing works, not my webcam, not my internet, not even the full resolution. The first time around that I did this, I had the DVD that came with my iMac, I installed the Windows drivers stuff off of it, and everything worked perfectly.
Can anyone point me in the direction of either a replacement for that DVD (.iso image or something?) or simply the required drivers that will let my iMac 8,1 connect to the web?
