10.5.8 won't recognize Samsung ML-1630

I bought a Samsung ML-1630 a couple months ago and installed it easily when I was still on 10.4.11. Recently, a friend of mine lent me their Leopard disc and I've since updated my way to 10.5.8.
The printer has been chugging along just fine until this afternoon when I tried to print from Safari. The printer queue popped up and said that the printer was offline. After fiddling with it, turning it off and on, pulling out the USB cord and plugging it back in, I quickly (without thinking, obviously) right clicked in the Print & Fax pane under System preferences and selected Reset printing system. The driver disappeared. Oops? So in a panic, I found the disc that came with the thing and reinstalled the driver, rebooted my computer, and tried to re-add the printer in the Print & Fax pane, but it just would NOT recognize the driver. I tried everything. I installed all software updates and restarted a couple of times. I used the uninstaller on the printer disc and then reinstalled the driver. I even tried selecting Adobe PDF under the default printer menu and changing the settings to the ML-1630 but to no avail.
I'm a little worried that it decided it doesn't want to work on 10.5 anymore, and I'll need to go back to 10.4.11. The specs don't actually say it's compatible with 10.5 (just 10.3 and 10.4), but as I mentioned before it had been working fine for at least a few months on 10.5. It's also difficult to follow the instructions that came with the printer since 10.5 no longer has Printer Setup Utility. Does anyone have any insight into this?

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
I had a look at the Samsung web site and there is a driver v3.00 for Mac OS X 10.3 to 10.6 available for download. Here is a link to the driver page for the ML-1630 that also explains adding the printer queue.

Gigabit G4 Won't recognize Samsung Mini DV

I have two Macs (a 350Mhz Yikes! PCI Graphics with 512mb & a Dual 450MHz Gigabit Ethernet with 1.5GB). Both machines are running OS 10.2.8, and have iMovie 3 installed. I tried to connect my Samsung Mini DV (SC-D6550) to the DP G4 via Firewire...but in ASP it says "no firewire device found". I just happen to try & connect it to the PCI Graphics G4...and it worked fine! That's cool, but I really want to utilize the CPU speed & extra RAM of the DP G4 when working with video. Currently, or until I resolve this Firewire problem...I've networked the two G4's thru Ethernet, I capture using the slower G4 and then I move the video footage over to the DP G4 for editing. It works this way....but it's a bit of a hassle.

instead of doing a restore, go to Disk Utility, have your iPod in disk mode and plug it with your Mac, go to Tab "Partition" and click "Partition", go back "erase" and click "Erase". Eject your iPod and do a Reset, open the iPod updater and click "restore"

Why won't my Samsung intensity II not recognize a memory card?

I just purchased a Samsung Intensity II the other day. I purchased a memory card at the same time (16g, I think).
The card was put in the phone in the store by the sales clerk.
Once home, I 'formatted' the card. I hooked the phone up to my computer, and it the computer recognized the card, and thought it was dropping ringtones and pics onto it.
When I disconnect from the pc, and try to view and manage the files between the memory card and the phone, the phone insists no card is installed.
I've removed and reinstalled numerous times. The phone still won't recognize the card.
Here's what else is weird: when I INSTALL the card, it tells me the card has been removed. If I actually remove the card nothing happens.
I put the micro SD card into the adapter and plugged it directly into the computer sd-card slot. It reads it and I can add/remove files from it.

Hi adagioinb,
This memory card issue is very strange! I understand that this a fairly new phone; however, I'd like to recommend doing a factory reset to clear any potential system errors. Please follow instructions at this link http://goo.gl/QSnVl to perform hard reset, and test. Keep us posted.

Macbook Pro Doesn't Recognize Samsung TV

Hi all,
I've seen this question in a few other discussions which are still unresolved, but I'm hoping maybe I can get some answers.
I've been hooking up my MBP 15" to my Samsung LCD TV (Model: LN32B460) for almost a year. Last night, I connected the miniDisplayport adapter into my computer, the computer blinked for a second (as you would expect), and then did nothing! I've tried everything since, and it just won't recognize the TV, or vice versa.
I updated to 10.6.6 hoping that would fix it, but that did nothing as well. The strange thing is that my girlfriend can hook up her macbook using the same VGA cable and the MB Mini-DVI adapter and it works fine!
System Preferences can't detect the TV and, therefore, won't give me the options it normally would for displays. I'd really appreciate if anyone has any ideas or anything I can try!
Thanks,
Ricardo

AirPort Extreme (MC340AM/A) won't recognize USB hard drive

Hi,
It was working fine (at least that's what I believe) to one point, and then all of a sudden, AirPort utility won't recognize my external HD connected to USB port of my AirPort.
Just to eliminate possible confusion... drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and I had another one as well, sitting on my desk that's formatted as FAT32. Both of these drives were connecting fine to AirPort utility till last night. All of a sudden, absolutely nothing happens when I connect either one of these two and turn it on. AirPort Utility/Disks pane shows: NO DISKS FOUND.
I even replaced this USB cable just to eliminate this possibility, still nothing.
Could it be that my USB port just died? I have 14 days to return it and I'm on my second day, so I want to know before I run out of my return bonus.
Thanks in advance!

OK, I just tried another external HD. This time it was LaCie 1Tb. As soon as I connected it, it was recognized by AirPort Extreme. What's puzzling is, that same thing happened with my SimpleTech 1Tb one last night. It was easily recognized by AE and then all of a sudden AE would never recognize it again.
At first, I though maybe these HDs are not supported by AE, but that's not the case. One is LaCie with Samsung HD103UJ drive inside purchased at Apple store, another one SimpleTech with WD inside, and other two are both super reliable Sygate HDs (never ever had any problems with them).
Hmm... I just disconnected LaCie one and tried SimpleTech one more time and it worked. AE can see it again. What's going on in here? Something is definitely not right.
Can't test this port through printer since I don't have one available at the moment.

ADE won't recognize my NOOK, stumped

Just downloaded ADE, trying to put books on my simple NOOK, but it won't recognize my device. I made sure I had it connected and reopened ADE and still nothing.

I'm having the same issue, but with my Nook app on a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I can read the books (or at least, one of the two I've bought with ADE) on the Aldiko reader on the same phone, but not on the Nook app that I just downloaded -- even though the books show up there! I get a message saying "Could not open. User is not activated on ADE."

? MacBook won't recognize external disc drive

My MacBook's internal disc drive quit, so I'm trying an external Samsung SE-208 slim portable DVD writer.   It worked once, but now the mac won't recognize it. I tried a DVD switcher app - no luck. The Samsung plugs into the USB port, starts up OK then disappears from itunes, the desktop, Finder - It's gone. Can I completely disable the internal disc drive? Would that help? I appreciate ANY help.   I'm not skilled at these things so you need to spoon feed me. thanks

ITunes won't recognize iPod Nano (1GB, 1st generation)

I have been having problems Sync'ing my iPod nano with iTunes, however, the more I read help articles and follow the steps, the worse the problem gets. (I'm on a PC using Windows XP)
I've gotten to the point where I updated my iPod software in Disk mode (up until then it was being recognized only in Disk mode), but when iTunes failed to recognize it when not in Disk mode I preceded to restore my iPod to factory settings, as instructed in the help articles.
Now, up until then, I still had music in my iPod, and I was being able to charge it and listen to my music even though I couldn't sync the iPod anymore. After restoring, I not only lost my music (which I was aware of), but it STILL did not fix my problem. So I started to get annoyed.
I then noticed that my iPod was being recognized by My Computer, just not by iTunes, so I began to perform the steps indicated in the following article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
I restarted my iPod service - no luck
I removed iTunes - no luck
I emptied my Temp directory and restarted...
That's when iTunes stopped recognizing my iPod altogether, not even in Disk mode. Not only that, but it seems to have affected the iPod itself, since it won't turn off or exit Disk mode anymore. So now I'm scared of going though with any more steps on whichever "help" articles and making the problem even worse than it already is (if that's possible).
The only other information I can provide is that windows is still recognizing my iPod, no problem, and when I connect my iPod, iTunes actually launches... but DOESN'T recognize a thing. So I ran a diagnostics using iTunes and here's what I got (iPod diagnostics):
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

Connected Device Information:
IPOD (H:\), iPod nano running firmware version 1.3.1
All green lights, and as you can see, according to iTunes, NO PROBLEM! Except that it won't recognize the iPod that the disgnistics says exists and reads... ?!?!?!
If anyone could shed some light on my situation, i would be VERY greatful!

My IPod Nano will charge when connected to my computer but it won't come up on My Computer or iTunes. So I can't update the songs. I've already tried reseting the iPod. Does anybody know what I can do to fix it.

I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes on my PC, Window 8 and now it won't recognize my iPhone 4. The device never shows in the menu bar

Adobe won't recognize that I uninstalled CS on old computer, won't let me activate on new computer

Adobe won't recognize that I uninstalled CS on my old computer, won't let me activate it on new computer.

Yes, uninstalling is not the same as deactivating. Call support to reset activations.

Please Help - My iTunes library won't recognize my iPod classic

My iTunes library won't recognize my iPod classic 80gb. I try doing the trouble shooting steps on apple, but they still did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to add some newer music to my old iPod for listening in the car or when travelling. Thanks a lot.

Hello dmbnewfie,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPod classic is not being recognized in iTunes when you connect it to your computer. I know you have tried some troubleshooting on the Apple website as well, but without knowing which steps you have completed, I would suggest working through the attached iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant.

TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

Same question Wish someone had replied!
I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

Deskjet 3050 won't recognize wireless network anymore.

Product: HP Deskjet 3050
Operating system: Windows 7-64 bit
Printer quit printing wirelessly. Using the control panel on the printer, I restored defaults. Now it won't recognize any wireless networks. I have unplugged computer, but that didn't help. I don't want to unplug my router, because I will lost all my DVR items (we are on AT&T uverse). Any tips?

Run a Wireless Network Test from the Network menu of the front panel. What does it say?
If everything is OK (which I suspect), re-install the printer with the temporary use of a USB cable just as you did originally when you installed it.

HP Envy 5530 - computer won't recognize that the printer is on the same network

Product Name: HP ENVY 5530
OS: Windows 8.1
No changes made to system before issue occured
I bought this wireless printer last week (5-13-14). I have a working printer that was connected to my husband's work laptop via USB cable, but needed one to connect to our family computer, which is in a different room with the modem/router. My husband travels for work, so I want to be able to print without disturbing him and while he is away on business. I turned the printer on and connected it to my network with the password and printed out the network settings and the wireless report. There are about 8 other wireless networks in range of my printer (we're in a residential neighborhood), but we aren't having a problem with it connecting to someone elses stuff. I went online to download the driver software and it downloaded fine. I clicked on the desktop icon to launch the control panel for the printer and it opened up for me to install the printer. I went through every step and it won't recognize the IP address or the name of the printer, and therefore won't open up for me to do any scanning. Both the printer and PC are connected to the same network, but they won't recognize each other when it comes to going through the HP software to scan or print. I can go into word or something to print and it will let me print wirelessly, but it won't do anything from the control panel of the print software because it thinks the printer hasn't been installed. I've had Windows 8 on this computer since I bought it in 2012, but I have the computer defaulted to go to my desktop instead of the start screen, so I don't know if that makes a difference. I am going to go ahead and remove the device and uninstall everything so I can try again later. If I had known this was going to be a problem, I would have not bought the printer and just kept on doing what we'd been doing.

Hello SarahD_07,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand you are having some troubles getting the Envy 5530 printing wireless on Windows 8.1. Are you able to take the I.P address of the 5530, type it into the address bar of your web browser and hit enter. Does it load a page about the printer?
Run the Print and Scan Dr to see if it can clear up the scanning issues if you can view that above page.
I will look out for your reply,

I know have a mobile me account and so my apple id is switched from my email address. i am trying to update my apps but it won't let me as it won't recognize my new 'ID'. how can i fix this on my iphone?

I have mobile me account now and so my apple id is switched from my email address to my mobile me address. Since I have made this change I can't update my apps. Everytime I try to sign in it won't recognize the switch. I have updated all the proper information on my iphone, however, when updating apps it still shows my apple id as my email address and not the mobile me account address. I am not sure what else to do??? I have even sync'd my iphone and tried to do it through my pc, however, it says that it can't update (nothing to update). I have ten updates sitting on my iphone apps...What to do...what to do? Very confused.

Where are you trying to log in? You should be able to change your ID at http://appleid.apple.com - can you log in there?
Before you change your ID you should log out of the iTunes Store and on any devices which are logged into iCloud. Then once you've changed it you can log back in with the new ID. (Your iCloud synced data will disappear from the device when you do this but will reappear when you sign back in - give it time).
If you are unable to sign into http://appleid.apple.com you will need to contact Support. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
