10.5.7 Upgrade Deleated ALL Drivers and I can't reinstall them!!!

Help!!! I just upgraded my 2007 MacBook to OS X 10.5.7 and It has deleted all my printer drivers, including the ones I had installed from the CD That came with my Canon Pixima MP470. I have tried reinstalling the drivers from the CD three times now, and I still cannot print. What should I do???

Since I have the same problem, I thought I'd jump in. With the new update 10.5.7 on a MacPro I no longer am able to print to my Canon Pixma MP780. When I try to add it to the list of printers, the "add" window shows it on the list, but doesn't stay open long enough to select it.
Steps I've taken:
Repaired permissions with Disk Utility and Disk Warrior; downloaded driver for the printer and reinstalled 3 times; reset print system 2x; even redownloaded the update from Apple website and reinstalled.
Still no change. Again, the add printer window appears with the MP780 on the list, but doesn't allow me to select it and add.
BTW the MP780 is directly connected to the computer. I have one other printer, connected by airport through an iMac in another room that is recognized and does allow printing from my MacPro.
Help, I need this printer for my home office.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Use your Time Machine (or other) back up to return to the point before you deleted them.

I think I have deleted my printer drivers and I can't recover them

Hello,
I use an HP PSC1600 printer/scanner. Recently I had to reinstall my OS, and today I tried to scan for the first time since doing so. The scanner didn't work, and unfortunately I went on the wrong route to try to fix it. Instead of the usual 'keep on trying till it works', I tried reinstalling the software from the HP disks that came with the printer. After setup had repeatedly failed, I found some online help on the HP website that advised uninstalling all HP software and emptying trash. I did so, and in the process I also had to go into Activity Monitor and quit some HP processes that were running, and restart.
Having done all this, I tried again to reinstall the software from the disk. After that didn't work again, I took a closer look at HP support and found that the software is not supported by Snow Leopard, but that the drivers that come bundled and through Software Update do. Unfortunately Software Update doesn't find any new software, and now printing has also stopped working for me as well as scanning. I would be grateful for any advice as to how I can get things back to the status quo ante.
Thanks in advance

I would be very interested in knowing how you did that. I did the same thing. and I'm getting the "You may not be able to print to “HP Photosmart D7500 series.” Please reinstall the printer’s software."
What I don't know how to do, is how to install the HP drivers again.
If there is a way to do this in Apple Software Update, I'm interested in hearing it?

Portege M400 all drivers and recovery XP needed

Hi folks,
I've just bought a Toshiba Portege M 400 without software.
Is there any bundle of all the frivers you need available?
I've tried to search all the several drivers needed, but installng them made my system collapse.
So, does Toshiba not offer a complete software /driver pack for its notebooks?
Regards,
Matthias

Hey,
All drivers and tools you can download from official Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
Furthermore you should check the forum a little bit. You will some interesting threads about correct installation order and other useful tips how to get the most out of your notebook.

Upgraded to IOS 7 when I put my headphones in it gets all crackly and I can't hear the voice but without headphones it works just fine

When I put my headphones in it gets all crackly and I can't hear the singing but when there's no headphones in it works perfectly fine

It could be bad headphones. Try another pair. It could be gunk in the headphone jack. Try cleaning it out. It could be a bad headphone jack. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.

All my windows live messenger contact have disappeared of windows messenger and appeared in my phone contact list on my curve 9360, Why, and how can I get them back where they should be?

I went onto windows live messenger today and all my contacts have disappeared from it, but I also noticed that they had somehow now appeared in my curve 9360 phone contacts. How did this happen, and how can I get them back into windows live messenger and out of my phone contacts on my phone? This is driving me crazy, can anybody help please?
My phone is the curve 9360, OS is 7.0.0 bundle 2259 And it was purchased Easter Monday
Thanks.

Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

When I plug in iPhone (5.1.1) to computer, playlists show up on the iPhone (when plugged in), that do not appear when it is not plugged in. And I can't erase them. I have iTunes match, and deleted all my music on the iPhone, but that had no effect.

I cannot manually move songs or playlists from the PC to the iPhone
Help greatly appreciated.

Unplug your Iphone out of your computer and replug it back in. It took me several times before I could do this

HT201303 was just having this problem until today. It is now all sorted and I can explain what to do very simply and easily.

I was just having this problem until today. It is now all sorted and I can explain what to do very simply and easily.
I remembered the answers to my questions, I just forgot "EXACTLY" how I entered the text - so I had to have them reset. The easiest way is to sign in through www.appleid.com. Then on the right click the "Manage your Account" link and sign in. Easy so far right. Then, as others have said, look on the left of the screen you will see a link called "Password and Security" - click on this. Now this is where the confusion begins. Some people have a link located directly under the existing questions that looks like this "Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to blah blah blah email . If you see this click it and it will send an email to the "Rescue Email" address that you entered when you originally entered your answers. Follow the instructions contained in this email and you are done. If you cannot remember this email address or you have since closed it, you will need to go to the Itunes Express lane and send an email to Apple requesting them to reset your answers.
HOWEVER IF YOU DO NOT SEE A THIS LINK UNDER THE QUESTIONS - this means that you DID NOT enter a Rescue email address when you originally set your questions. The only way you can now reset your Security Questions and Answers is to go to the Itunes Express lane and email Apple asking to have these reset. I have 2 apple accounts, one for myself and one for my daughter - as I did not include a rescue email I had to email apple. On both occasions, these questions were reset and an email sent to me exactly 24 hours after I sent them the request. I entered the new details, WROTE THEM DOWN EXACTLY AS I ENTERED THEM THIS TIME, entered a Rescue Email this time and I am good to go again. Simple. Now when I log in and click on "Password and Security" I do have the reset link visable. Apple support are good, they just take a bit of time to get things done, but they always seem to get there in the end. I just wish someone had taken the time to explain this somewhere else in the forum as it would have saved me much time and angst.
To get to the Itunes Express Lane go to this website www.appleid.com make sure the correct country is displayed top right, if not change it. Once this is saved go to the tabs at the top of the screen and click Support. Then halfway down the next page you will see a photo of two random people with a title of Contact Apple Support - Click this. Scroll down until you see the itunes logo, to the right of this you will see the link Express Lane for iTunes Player and iTunes Store - click on this. One the right hand side of the next page click on the link "itunes Store". On the next page click the link "Account Management" check the radio button beside "itunes store account security", select your country from the drop down box and click "Continue". Under the heading MORE OPTIONS, you will see a clickable link called email - click this. Fill in your name, Apple ID and country. Then in the text box, write "I have forgotten the answers to my Security questions, would you kindly please reset them. Thank-You". Then Click Continue, you will be given a reference number and an email is sent to your address advising that generally someone will attend to your request within 24 hours. Like I said previously, I had to do this twice and both times it was reset however it was done within about 5 minutes of the 24 hour cut off, so you will have to be patient. I know 100% that this works for Australia - I am guessing other countries should be similar. Hope this helps someone somewhere!

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card
- Press the home button when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

How do I get rid of "Open All In Tabs" from the Bookmarks dropdown menu? [STUPIDITY] Also, my bookmarks run off the bottom of the screen and I can't see them all.

The bottom of my bookmarks in one subcategory extends beyond the screen on my TV and I can't see them all. I can't see where any arrow to extend the bookmarks to the bottom of the list is so I've been clicking below the last visible bookmark in that list and I hit that STUPID "Open All In Tabs" crap (then everything locks up). WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD WANT TO OPEN ALL OF THEIR BOOKMARKS AT ONCE???? Seems really, really stupid to me. And why won't the bookmarks drop down list allow me to see all of the bookmarks I've saved on that topic? It does not automatically scroll down as large lists on other drop down menus routinely do.

I agree. It is a brainless moronic subcategory!!! I would love to get rid of it!
