Software update doesn't remember my printer software update

Every day Software Update tells me to update my printer software. Every day it updates it. I found a 2012 thread about this in 10.8, and here it is again in 10.9 Anybody got any ideas what to do about it?

If you delete the /Library/Printers/Brother (or something similar) folder and reapply the updates, does it still happen?

    Hey guys I got a used iBook from a family friend that has it password protected.I can't update or delete programs or download anything without the passwords and he doesn't remember them.Is there any way for me to get around these without wiping the computer and starting from scratch?

    Hello,
    Sadly without the system disk you can't do a lot. I would suggest you enable root user, log in as root and reset your administrators password, however you can't without knowing the administrator password first.
    The only solution would be is to obtain the correct system disk or buy a retail copy of Mac OS X. But note, it depends on what version of the iBook you own depends, on what version of Mac OS X you will require.
    You can still obtain the system disk or retail disks from online vendors, but they come at a cost.
    System disk are grey in color, while retail disk have a big 'X' on it.
    Best of luck

  • Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs

    Since updating to 3.6.15 today, back button no longer works and FF doesn't remember URLs. Not just that memory of previous URLs got wiped out, it still doesn't remember the ones I've typed in since I updated. And No back button, it's really hard to use.
    I went thru all the settings and could not find a way to fix this problem. What is up? I've never had this happen in any version of IE, FF, or Chrome.
    Can I get back previous version? Until then, it's Chrome and IE for me.
    I'll be happy to delete any plug-ins if it will make this problem go away.
    THANKS in advance!

    Thanks. This didn't solve te problem but it seemed to have solved itself. all of a sudden it started working properly, without me even closing FF and starting it up again. Thanks Cor-el, if it happens again I'll try your solution.

  • Trying to update firmware on my canon printer MG5320 but in doesn't recognize the printer being plugged in via USB cable

    I am trying to update firmware on my canon printer MG5320 to be able to use the airprint feature but in doesn't recognize the printer being plugged in via USB cable. I have tried restarting the macbook, turning on and off the printer, repairing permissions, deleting and redownloading the update what else can I do? The prinyrt works fine otherwise...

    If there are no drivers for Yosemite you might be in trouble.. HP will tend not to support printers once they are EOL.
    Getting it running over wireless rather than USB might be worthwhile.
    Can’t connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
    Has the printer been working and now failed after update.. what update caused the failure if that is the problem??

  • Xperia Z3 doesn't remember Wifi

    Hey everyone!
    I just got the new Xperia Z3 and while I find it to be a gorgeous phone, it has lots of software issues.
    One of those is the fact that it doesn't remember Wifi networks anymore. I have to re-select the network and re-enter the password every time. Does anyone know a solution or should I return the phone?
    I have read that removing all remembered Wifi networks helps, but this solution is unacceptable to me as I travel a lot and have over a hundred networks remembered in my Google account. I'd rather stop buying Sony products than have to re-enter those networks again.
    Thank you!

    @chickideee
    Sorry to hear that you have this issue as well.
    Would it be possible for you to take a report from the phone when this happens and send it to me?
    First you need to enable the developer options menu. To do this, go to Settings -> About phone and tap the build number 7 times.
    When this happens the next time, go to Settings -> Developer options -> Take bug report -> Report. When a report has been created (it may take a little while) you will get a notification. Tap this to share it to for example Google drive and then send me a PM here on the forum.

  • Labels not working...bridge doesn't remember labels

    Adobe Bridge doesn't remember labels in CS4 in two computers...both Vista?

    You could look at it another way.  Make your settings and folder selection then use file/exit. 
    Then no matter how you close it in future, or where you are at, it will open at your default setting.
    Be aware however that it is always running in the background and must be closed to install updates.

  • Preview doesn't remember the last page opened

    I have noticed that Preview doesn't remember the last page of the PDF documents after 30 mins of usage (or opening up several PDF files). Is there any way to make Preview always remember the last page of files irrespective of time the file was last used and number of PDF files opened? I think in SL-ML era this was probably the case but since Mavericks it seems to have changed.

    Deleting "browser.download.lastDir" makes firefox unusable.
    It's very annoying. I'm sick of the update to 3.6. It's getting worse with each minor update.
    Hour after hour researching about this odd behavior sucks!

  • 10.4.6 - dot mac pref pane doesn't remember password

    With the recent update on my G4 alBook to 10.4.6 from 10.4.5 (using combo updater and due precautions, including doing a sync before updating as Apple recommends) The dot mac/sync pane of System Preferences is acting weird: it doesn't remember my dot mac password. Every time I write it in, it connects and checks and says it is verified and I have so many days left in my dot mac subscription. If I then go to the sync tab and try to sync- it hangs with the Beachball of Death. If I just write in the password in the dot mac pane and quit System Preferences after it has been verified, next time I open the pref pane I am back where I started - an invitation to join dot mac, my user name filled in but not the password. So obviously I can't sync my stuff with dot mac on the Powerbook, though I can on the G4 Dual MDD running OSX 10.4.5.
    Anybody else seeing this behavior? I'd be grateful for suggestions. I have repaired permissions and checked the disk which is OK and I reset the PRAM at startup with the 4 finger exercise. I could trash some preferences...but which?

    Nina,
    Are you familiar with the concept and the troubleshooting procedures which are associated with the removal/replacement of plist files? .plist files, contain instructions for recording and executing tasks associated with the the application or function that owns them. They can and do become corrupted. If you look in the ~Library/Preferences Folder you can usually guess what application or function the .plist serves by analyzing the file name.
    Proper identification of the appropriate .plist is not always so obvious, but for example com.apple.Safari.plist is the preference file for Safari. When an application malfunctions, removing the associated .plist file from the preferences folder to the Desktop is often the best first troubleshooting step. If you have a problem with an application, Quit the application, find the associated plist file in the Preferences Folder, and move it to the Desktop as a first step in your troubleshooting procedure. Then log out/in or restart and re-evaluate the performance of the application.
    A new default .plist file is automatically created in your Preferences Folder after you remove the recalcitrant .plist and initiate the log out/in restart sequence. You can expect default application behavior and you will have to reset some preferences. If the application or function returns to normal after removing the .plist file, it will prove that the original file was corrupt, and you can now safely trash the .plist file which you placed on the Desktop. If the application or function is unsatisfactory, the original copy of the plist file which was placed on the Desktop can be safely returned to the preferences folder.
    If you are having problems with any aspect of OS X, experiment with deleting the appropriate .plist file. Plist corruption is common and .plist file deletion often cures many problems. Too many users try intricate solutions first and end up complicating their problem.If you are familiar with the concept and understand the consequences, I would recommend that you explore removal/replacement of the com.apple.DotMacSync.plist.
    Another troubleshooting procedure you may want to explore is Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption, by Dr. Smoke.

  • Firefox 11.0 doesn't remember youtube player size

    When I restart firefox and open yt video, the player is always of the small size 360p. It just doesn't remember the player size. It was OK on firefox 10.0.2, so I reverted to that version, and it's working again, remembering the size. The same thing was happening few versions back. When I updated to FF 8.0 (from 7.0) it stopped remembering the size, but then it was fixed in later version, I don't remember which exactly, 9.0 or 10.0. So it was OK for some time, and now again exactly the same thing with 11.0. What's going on with FF? And can I fix it somehow? Because right now I'm stuck to 10.0, cause I'm tired clicking the large player button every time I restart my browser.

    After restarting Firefox please check if the YouTube cookie is still present in '''Tools '''('''Alt '''+ '''T''') > '''Options '''> '''Privacy '''> '''Remove individual cookies''' or in '''Show Cookies'''. If the cookie is not present there could be another application or perhaps its extension/plugin (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, Plugins) deleting Firefox data as it is closed.

  • My ipad doesn't find my printer....

    How do I make my hp 3510 discoverable to my ipad? The wireless printing works from my laptop which has the same wifi settings, but the ipad cannot find the printer????

    Hi Kiwisteve77,
    I understand the Ipad doesn't find the printer.
    Thank you for your reply.
    I will be happy to help you with this.
    Try turning the wi-fi off and on again on the Ipad.
    If that doesn't work turn the Ipad off and on again.
    Check to make sure it is connected to the proper network.
    Power cycle the router, Ipad and the printer and try it again if you are still having issues.
    I have provided a document for How to Use Apple's AirPrint Over a Wireless Network. Go to the section What if a 'No AirPrint Printers Found' message displays on my Apple device?
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Safari Doesn't Remember Tabs

    Noticed a strange behaviour in Safari 6 on Mountain Lion.
    When I close the window by clicking the red x in the top left and then re-open, Safari comes up with a blank pages, it doesn't remember any of the tabs I had open.
    If however I close it by clicking quit on the Safari dock icon and then re-open, Safari opens back up with all my tabs from the last session.
    This doesn't seem right, any advice?

    When you quit Safari, (Mountain) Lion's Resume feature will remember what pages you had open and reopen them the next time you start Safari, because that's what the feature is supposed to do.
    But when you close Safari's window—not by quitting, but by clicking the red button—(Mountain) Lion assumes that you don't want to see all those window's tabs again. (That's why you closed the window.) So it doesn't restore them when you open a new window.
    You should get into the habit of quitting Safari when you want to stop using it, but might want to resume where you left off later. Really, the same goes for all other Apple apps. Closing a window tells the app and the OS, "I don't want this file/page/whatever to be open anymore." On the other hand, quitting the app tells the OS, "I don't want to use this app right now, but I might use it again later, and please reopen the same files/pages/whatever the next time."
    By the way, the easiest way to quit an app is to press ⌘Q.
