Can't Print after Software Update

After completing an Apple software update which included Epson printer software update 2.7 I am unable to print. I get an error message; Error:/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents/ MacOS/rasertoescpll failed. Can you please assist? Printer is Epson RX 650

I had this problem with the RX640; it seems to affect a lot of Espon printers going back a long time, not just the latest update. Apparently some resourceful person out there says it is due to trying to print a pdf generated from word and various other programs and getting rid of this many-headed beast of a problem can be quite tricky.
I first followed this http://kb.epson-europe.com/display/4n/kb/article.aspx?aid=3744&searchstring=&n=& tab=search&bt=4n&s= epson knowledge base article's instructions but had no joy. I then reinstalled Rosetta off my Snow Leopard install disk (which as an aside involved fixing my broken dvd drive!) and again had no joy, even after wiping the print settings, running the gutenprint uninstaller, deleting the drivers and trying to install the printer again using software updater. It seems like Epson software update 2.7 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398 on the Apple website does not work properly for selected Epson printers.
To the solution. I downloaded and installed the previous Epson software update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL900 from the apple website and this finally did the trick. This is a beast of a file at 850MB compressed, containing drivers for ALL of Epson's printers so it does eat up some drive space. However as my printer is working again, I don't care!
FYI I have read various solutions that were successful for various people. I am not certain if the last step alone would have been sufficient to get my printer working or if the previous Epson KB steps and Rosetta reinstall played a part. I hope this issue is resolved in Lion in a few weeks time altho given Epson's past history, I'm not very confident.....

After doing the latest update for my Epson Stylus CX7300 printer it will not print. When i open the printer utility it comes up with a communication error. I can still scan documents but i can't print or even print a test page, check ink levels etc.

IPhone 3GS can't connect after software update

My iPhone 3GS can't connect to my M1424WR anymore after I updated my iPhone software. Apple suggested I update my router software - any tips?

Try use "forget this network" then re enter the wep/wpa key (network password) this happens sometimes with my iTouch.
Other than that, there is no reason the iPhone cannot connect. =/

Can't print after Tiger update

I updated from Panther to Tiger 10.4 today,and then did an update to 10.4.6.
Now I can't print. Tried "Save to PDF" from the File>Print menu. Nothing. Tried clicking on the "print" button. Nothing.
The Apple knowledge base only says something about deleting a Xerox plugin, which I didn't have, so I couldn't do that.
Anyone know what's going on? Thanks!

Not unusual to have this problem if you had printers installed before upgrading. Open the Printer Setup app and select "Reset Printing System" from the File menu. Then reinstall your printers. If still no joy, you might want to check your printer's mfgr's website for new (10.4) drivers.

Can't login after software update

I did a routine software update that required a restart for one of the two items(admit to not knowing what two updates). Now I can only login in as "Test" - not my regular login name. The password is correct (no screen shake). I put in my password, the screen goes blue as if a successful login, then the original login screen reappears. Any suggestions or, better yet, solutions?

it sounds like theres a login item preventing you from getting into your admin account. try holding down the shift key as you log into your account and continue holding it down until you see the dock. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh939.html
if you do get in using that you will need to go to system preferences from the blue apple, then into accounts. in there select login items and remove all the login items. that should resolve it.

Can't restart after software update

Hi All, Running 10.6.8 on a later model 2008 MacBook. I'm trying to check for software updates, as it's been acting slow. When I run the software update, I'm prompted to restart, which I agree to. But then the machine just sits on a background screen (stars and aurora image) and goes nowhere. Only way to restart the machine is to hold down the power button and reboot. Tried restarting multiple times, repairing the disc from the OS X install dvd, to no avail.
Any ideas? Many thanks!

Hello:
It is difficult to guess what is happening...
Try resetting the SMC (system management controller).
If that does not help, reinstall OS X.

HT1688 Can data lost after software update be recovered?

I downloaded iOS6 yesterday and my contacts were wiped out. I did this at the office and was not connected to Wifi or a computer. I restored from a PC backup that was a year old, but now cannot see photos, contacts, or messages that were added after the date of the backup. I do not use iCloud, and did not do a backup prior to downloading the new update. Can the data be recovered? I'm missing about 100 pictures, can only see old texts and am missing recently added contacts--but all of the apps appear to be intact.

This was actually on my dad's phone. I personally don't use iCloud since I'm very good about keeping my own phone backed up. Had I known he wanted to install the update, I would have backed it up before downloading and probably would have waited until I was connected to my home network.

Help! Can't login after software update!

I went to update iTunes today, the latest security update, and iPhoto update. When the restarted, iTunes kept crashing which it has never done before. So I restarted the iMac and now it has been stuck at the point of the login window but with some really abnormal behavior. The login window appears for a half second then disappears.
I tried the command option p r combo and that didn't work. Please help me with this issue!

Have you Archived & Installed yet? The issue is that your operating system is unable to correctly launch any applications; the login window itself is an application located in /System/Library/CoreServices.
This could have been caused by many factors, but most likely the Security Update didn't install properly, leading to a nonfunctioning system. An Archive & Install will unpack a fresh system folder, replacing the broken files, while leaving your user data intact.
Naturally, if the underlying issue here is with your hard disk or another hardware component, an Archive & Install will not help, and I would recommend repair if the reinstall fails to correct your problem. As always, be aware that if you don't have a current backup of the data on your computer, you could stand to lose information permanently as a result of the Archive & Install.
If you're comfortable doing so, perform the Archive & Install. It will likely yield you a working computer. Steps follow:
First: Insert the Mac OS X 10.5(.x) installation DVD. Reboot the computer.
Second: Once you see the screen turn black, but before you hear the boot chime, press and hold the alt/option key until you see the bootpicker (a row of icons representing available bootable volumes).
Third: You should see your hard drive listed ("Macintosh HD" by default) as well as the Leopard DVD. Select the Leopard DVD with your mouse or the arrow keys and press Return or click the arrow. The computer should start booting from the DVD.
Fourth: Choose your language, then agree to the license terms. Select your internal hard drive from the list of available volumes, then click the Options button.
Fifth: Ensure the middle option, "Archive & Install," is selected with the checkbox below checked. This checkbox preserves your user information and network settings by re-integrating them into the system when the Install is finished. This means that you will start up to the same list of users with the same data inside their home folders. If all goes correctly, this means you will not lose any data associated with your user accounts.
Sixth: Move on and click Customize if you want to remove languages or printer drivers. For the Apple-recommended experience, leave it all checked. Proceed to the install.
When finished, you should be sitting pretty. Remember, data loss is always a possibility. Always keep a recent backup for use in these emergencies.
I wish the best of luck to you!

After software update, I can see the songs on iPod nano in iTunes, but I cannot play/move the songs from iTunes.

Is the "software update" for iTunes 12? Or something you did to the iPod?

After software update I can't drag from iTunes directly into Garageband timeline, always could before, how can I fix this?

Same problem here but figured it out: Drag the song from the Media Browser tab (after selecting iTunes at the top) at the bottom right when you open a new GarageBand project. Hope this helps you -- working perfectly for me!
