HT3669 Where did you get the driver information for the HP 4MV.  I cannot connect to MacBook Pro on 10.6.8 and believe you have information that might help.  Please advise ASAP.

Apple published a report - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669#HP - that states system 10.6.8 supports the HP LaserJet 4MV.  If this is accurate information, I would like to know where the drivers are located.  I have spent more than three hours with your technical support and no one has a clue how to make this combination work.  Please help ASAP.  Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
We are all users here. There is no one from Apple responding on these user forums.
You did not mention which interface you are trying to use, or what steps Apple support had you try already, so I'll start with basics.
Your mid-2009 MacBook Pro would have shipped with OS X 10.5 'Leopard', and OS X 10.5 and prior versions supported the AppleTalk network connection and protocols, as well as others.
OS X 10.6, 'Snow Leopard' dropped support for AppleTalk.
So, Snow Leopard 10.6.8 likely does contain the correct DRIVER for your printer, BUT if your printer was originally connected via AppleTalk, AppleTalk will not work with Snow Leopard. Period.
There is at least one recently-published workaround to connect your printer via Ethernet, provided that you have the OPTIONAL HP Ethernet MIO interface card installed in your HP LaserJet 4MV printer.
If your printer DOES have the optional Ethernet interface, you can reconfigure your printer to use Ethernet instead of Appletalk. No, it's not 'plug and play' like AppleTalk was, but patiently following detailed step-by-step instructions it can be made to work.
The HP forums contains brief instructions on how to configure MIO Ethernet, and once configured, how to select the 4MV driver within this thread:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/Laserjet-4mv/td-p/1176843
This Macrumors forum thread contains a post by TrumpSAJ with more detailed configuration instructions:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=8748935#post8748935
Other World Computing has an older guide linked here:
http://blog.macsales.com/1897-appletalk-not-available-in-snow-leopard
And a thread on Gigaom discussing some other alternatives to Ethernet (for a variety of printers):
http://gigaom.com/apple/how-to-resurrect-your-appletalk-printer-in-snow-leopard/
In my opinion, if you don't already have an HP Ethernet MIO card installed in your circa 1995 printer, then it's time to buy a new printer. Spending more money to 'upgrade' something that old doesn't seem like a good investment.

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    If it was an audiobook then they are one-time only downloads, to get it on your other devices you need to sync it to them and not re-download it oneach. You can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you for the second and third downloads : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Where can I get an EPSON printer for the original iMac?

    Where can I get an EPSON printer for the original iMac?

    You should look for an Epson Stylus Color 740 or the higher-end 900 or 980, which are about 12 years old now.  All have USB connectivity, and while the 900/980 is a better/faster printer, it's harder to find the ink tanks for it at the usual office supply stores.  Ink tanks for the 740 series seem to be more readily available, without a special order.  There were Mac versions of these printers (the 740i and 900i), with blue/ice housings that were color-keyed to match the fruit-colored "blueberry" iMac and Blue & White G3 mini-tower.  There was no Epson printer that was color-keyed to the original Bondi Blue iMacs.

    They do offer a free 30 day trial or you can purchase a reduced price education subscription (of the full CC suite of programs) if you qualify.

    Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
    When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
    I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
    However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
    So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
    Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

    One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

  • My Macbook Pro is 3 years old. Lately I have noticed that after charging the available battery time is approximately 3:30. This is with little or nothing running. And sure enough after 3:30 hours of mixed use (email, web surfing, file work) it's done.

    My Macbook Pro is 3 years old. Lately I have noticed that after charging the battery life indicated is approximately 3:30; this is with little or nothing running. And sure enough after about 3:30 of mixed use (email, web srfing, file work) it's done. I'm thinking I should be getting better than that; at least twice that number.

    So I am sitting in Nagoya and have plugged in the hotel LAN cable because the WiFi wasn't kicking in and my battery capacity is 6-7 hours! Most other places had a good reliable WiFi which is what I would normally use; I'm thinking the WiFi is a bit of a battery-hog. Stuff you learn.

  • Where do i get a serial number for the Final Cut Pro downloaded trial?

    I used FCP for years. My new macbook won't install it properly. So, I've downloaded the trial version for the time being. I'm asked to input my name and serial #. But of course, I don't have a serial #. What to do?

    I see that. But that's not the application you're opening. What is the icon of the application you're launching? Post a screen shot. Find the application and double-click to launch it.
    The icon should look like this

  • Where can I get a pin diagram for the BNC-2120 DAQ Boaard?

    I am using a NI BNC-2120 DAQ Board and a couple of the pins seem to have been damaged. I was looking for a pin diagram to so that I can check to see what these pins correspond to and if they could be contributing to some of the unusual readings we are getting.

    I'm assuming that the damaged pins you are referring to are on the back of the connector block where the cable plugs in.
    The BNC-2120 Accessory is able to be used with several different families of data acquisition products, and therefore the meaning of the pins could possibly depend on which particular data acquisition device you are connecting to the BNC-2120.
    You can find many of the generic pinouts for E series 68-pin devices in the DAQ-mx Help:
    http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/95ADFF85ABA7853986256D8800668AE2?opendocument
    If you are using an M series device, the following lists its corresponding pinout, which is nearly identical:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/61ED77983AD7CCA386256F66008215F1
    If you let me know which device you are using and which pins you suspect are damaged, I could give you more information on what effect it might have.

  • HT3302 Where can I get a screen replaced for the new ipad?

    Do apple repair screens for the new ipad?

    Apple does not repair iPads, but if the screen has been damaged due to accident will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ on the iPad, the cost will be relatively minimal; $49 in the US. Otherwise, see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/faq/
    There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair".  You can also look for parts and instructions and do the repair yourself. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPad serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform your own repair, you will get no further support from Apple.
    This is the iPod touch forum, by the way.
    Regards.

  • Where can I get a replacement battery for the iBook G3 Clamshell M6411, in the UK?

    I recently managed to source an Indigo iBook G3 clamshell - the M6411 FireWire model - from eBay.
    It's in superb condition, but the battery has had it, and only holds about 5-10 minutes' charge.
    Can anyone suggest where I can get a replacement? I guess I just assumed it would be easy, but everywhere I look online they're either sold out or cost a fairly large amount of money - I paid £50 for the laptop, which was a pretty good deal, and had hoped to get a battery for under £30 (as I've bought similar replacement batteries before for other laptops).
    Also, are all the G3 Clamshell batteries the same? Or do the different models have different batteries?

    Some items come up in a search for Mac parts UK; whether or not they have
    an exact part match for any vintage product has not been searched...
    Most that I have looked into, show any battery "out of stock" &/or listed "used."
    A good electronics shop with an understanding of how these batteries are wired
    in their case (and any controller chip circuitry) should be able to install new cells
    inside the case; however opening these may present a problem if done forcefully.
    http://www.thebookyard.com/
    http://www.applemacparts.co.uk/store/index.php
    http://www.theappleshack.co.uk/
    In the US, wegenermedia.com, powerbookmedic.com, & others may know of stock.
    So far, I'd struck out searching; could be one may need to contact long standing
    Apple specialists & those who repair vintage models, to get refurbished batteries.
    Perhaps there is a message board or User Group site where one could try & contact
    Apple users; of those some may know of a source, or an individual capable of repair
    since these battery units have been refurbished before with new rechargeable cells.
    Sorry to not be of exact help in this matter.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can you get a solar charger for the ipad 2?

    Does anyone know if you can get a solar charger for an ipad 2?

    There a few technical considerations to enable Ipad charging from PV's (solar cells)
    1. The output voltage must be no greater than 5.1vdc (max)
    2. The correct sensing resistors must be on the USB interface to turn on the charging circuitry just as in the iphone and Ipod.
    3. The output current must be high enough to actually charge the Ipad usually something greater than 800ma at
    5.1vdc. Usually the greater the better, The Apple supplied chargers are 2 amps. The output is stated in direct sunlight so again the greater the better.
    4. The weight, physical and type PV must meet the needs of the user.

  • Where do I get a diag utility for the PCI-6110E?

    The PCI-6110E card is giving AO signals of 1/1000 amplitude that is
    entered into the vi. This vi has been working for months without error

    Hi Andy,
    I suspect that the control or value passed to the VI in LabVIEW is
    configured as (mV) or something similar and the card is actually
    outputting what LabVIEW is sending to the driver.
    The best way to verify your card is to use Measurement & Automation
    Explorer which is a diagnostic and configuration utility for NI
    hardware and software. Select Devices and Interfaces and right-click
    and run the Test Panels. Here you will be able to output a voltage
    waveform on selected channels of your card to verify if your card is
    outputting correctly as well.
    Another test would be to open up an example program in LabVIEW (Help
    >> Find Examples..) that performs analog output and simply write a
    buffer out to test the card.
    If both of those suggestions still yield val
    ues that are 1/1000 then
    we will have to do further investigating. Anyway, hope that helps.
    Have a good day.
