Address Book shuts down or gets stuck in "sorting" mode when I try to print

This is a new issue. I have been able to print mailing labels and list in the past, but now I am stuck. Also, I remember being able to choose the dimensions of my envelopes and such, and now I can't seem to find where to do that. I a concerned that maybe I don't have the right version of Address Book for my OS 10.4.11? I have Address Book version 3.1.2. How do I either get the right version of Address Book or fix this printing issue?

I had this same problem...
Turned out to be one address that must have been corrupted in some way!?!
I went through my group and attempted to print one letter at a time (ex. all the 'A's then all the 'B's etc). There was no problem getting the labels to come up (without the 'sorting...' message until I came to the 'K's when I received the 'sorting...' message. I then did the first half of the 'K's with out the error and found it to be one address in the last section of the 'K's that was the problem. Once I fixed the address (all I did was clear it all out and then retype it back in) I was able to print the entire group with no problems at all!

My iPhone 4S gets stuck in recovery mode when i try to do a restore on it.

Itunes would extract the firmware (IOS 7) then try to put the phone into the restore process then the phone gets kicked back into recovery mode as if it cannot get the phone out of recovery mode. Any idea on how to fix this problem if there is a fix for it?

Unfortunately I have the same problem, since yesterday.

Thanks,

If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

I get SEND A FAX Window when I try to print in Word on HP All in One J5780 Windows 7.

I get SEND A FAX Window when I try to print in Word on HP All in One J5780 on Windows 7. I recently moved to Windows 7 64 bit and Word 2010 and download the latest software for my J5780

HI,
GO to the control panel and check which printer is listed as the default printer. Most likely this is the J5780 (fax) instead of the J5780. Right click the correct printer icon and choose "use a default" to correct it.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Macbook Pro 17" (Mid-2009) Randomly Getting Stuck in Sleep Mode when Unplugged

Hey guys, this is my first time posting so please excuse me if I do anything wrong. Here's the issue:
I have a Macbook Pro 17" (Mid-2009) that has had an issue with the whole computer shutting down at random, but only when unplugged from the MagSafe power adapter. Upon scouring all the forums and discussions I could, I haven't found anyone with the same exact circumstances as myself, hence this post. Let me explain.
Many say it's a battery issue. That can't be, because this has been happening for months, and after I finally got my laptop repaired a few days ago, it still occurs. I had sent it in for a logic board failure, but consented them to fix any other parts that weren't functioning properly. Upon the return of my machine, I found that they installed a fresh hard drive, new battery, new logic board, and a new speaker on the right side. This must mean that neither the logic board nor the battery are the issue.
What else can this point to? Again, it only occurs when the Mac is unplugged from a power source, and it doesn't totally shut down. It goes half way, essentially stuck in sleep mode. The white indicator light on the front freezes, and the power button has to be held to fully turn the laptop off, then pressed again to reboot. It can last anywhere from a single minute to a few hours before shutting off again, and it's always the exact same circumstance, no matter what kind of computing I'm doing at the time.
Note that while no one else has found the solution to lie within resetting the PRAM or SMC (in the discussions I read), I still need to try that tonight and see if it affects anything.
Thanks in advance,
Sean

Macs are having problems with SSD drives. The root cause is the OS X journaling file system. The Apple-written SATA controller driver can saturate the bus at times, inhibiting performance. Some manufactures are even selling special "Mac" versions of their SSD drives that are slowed down on purpose to compensate for this problem. Unfortunately, the problem still exists in Snow Leopard, from what I've read.
Also, I read that Apple has secretly slowed the recent new laptops down (3.0GB/s to 1.5GB/s) to compensate for the problem.

I can't get garageband to export! It keeps getting stuck at 'creating chapters' when I try to export my enhanced podcast. Please help!

I am trying to export my enhanced podcast through garageband. I have all the current updates. I am on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 2.3GHz with 8GB ram. My enhanced podcast (podcast with pictures) is about 80 mins long and I have tried exporting with everything from the lowest settings to the highest always with the same result. I have tried deleting GB preferences. I have tried repairing permissions to no avail.
I hit export to disk or send to itunes.
I select some AAC format I want (optimized for spoken podcast).
It slowly builds the mix, normalizes, and creates chapters (yeah, it goes through the creating chapters bar to completion)
Then it goes all candystripe on the creating chapters bar once it fills up and will hang forever (hung for 8 hours....pretty much sounds like 'forever' in my book).
Please help...I have my podcast sitting there waiting to be used....I have tried exporting smaller chunks (by moving the end of file bar) but that doesn't work either. Is there a way to just send the pictures and the picture start times over to imovie and work with it there? I'd much rather work with the tools that imovie has but man that program is just a PITA to use when you want to run through 100+ pictures for variable durations (whereas it's easy to just drag and drop with garageband as you do playback).
The file only has one stereo audio track!

Hi notmatthew, I have exactly the same problem as you. I am trying to export a podcast about iPod X Anniversary so I need to publish it next sunday.
It's midnight in Spain but tomorrow I will tray something I read in other post:
w4b3l said:
Problem solved.
I deleted the chapters one by one, exporting it each time, until it worked. i then replaced the image (which was a .jpg and i converted to .png) with that chapter and now it works.
Could you try it?

I want to shut down my mac pro (retina display) but when I try to it says that in the finder some operations are still open and i should go close or cancel them. The problem is that I have nothing running or in use. Is it the remote disc or what?

nothing seems to be wrong, so i am a little unsure of what the problem could be..

Press Alt, Command and Esc keys, select Finder in Force Quit and force close it. Then, you will be able to restart. You can also try to press Control, Command and Eject keys

HT201210 iPhone gets stuck in recovery mode when I update the software (last 3 updates and with 2 different phones) and I have to take it into the store. What's the problem?

I have downloaded the most recent version of iTunes to my laptop and am smart enough to have backed up my entire phone to my laptop before updating the iOS software, but this is the third time that a software update has bricked my phone (first an iPhone 4S then a 5) and I don't have the time to go to the Apple store and wait for my everything to restore. I am running Windows updates and will restart my laptop to retry the connection between my iPhone and iTunes, but looking for suggestions.

Yeah same exact problem as me. EXACTLY. In a way I'm glad more than just me are having the problem so I know it's probably not on my end and on the apple side....I HOPE that is what it is.
MAN, a whole day and a half???? Crap I need my phone to work....
I really think it's the apple servers because it errors 3014 right when iTunes says "verifying phone....." something.... It goes away so fast I can't read the rest, but I think that is the step where it verifies phone to the apple servers, which are overloaded, I assume.
It's gotta be that. How many other people are having this same exact issue?

Why do I get a blank white screen when I try to print from a pdf?

I have the latest adobe reader X and use it with Windows 7. After downloading pdf files, they open to read but will not print. I go to File, then Print, and a big white blank screen comes up with nothing on it but a tab at the top saying "Print". There is no advanced options available where I can choose " Print as Image." The strange thing is that once this started happening, I went back to older downloads from emails that I had printed out a few weeks ago and they would not print either. Any advice?

As ~graffiti asks: can you open other online PDFs such as http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?
If not, then it's most likely http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529
If you need help with that, tell us your Windows version.

Just what do you not understand?
Did you try:
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Error 3014
This error occurs when iTunes can't reach gs.apple.com in a timely fashion. Follow the steps below to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com.

Why do I get a Fax prompt window when I try to print from Windows Photo Gallery?

Trying to print photos from Windows Photo Gallery. Print job looks as if it goes to the queue, but does not actually print. Fax prompt window pops up as if I were preparing to fax. Do I now have to disable the fax in order to print photos? I take phone calls and faxes on the same phone line.

1: I am sorry about the inconvinience.
The reason you find a check mark on a printer icon is to indicate that its a default printer. If the fax icon has a check mark, everytime you print a fax template will come up.
SOlution: Just right click on the other icon and select it as the default printer.
2: Black lines while printing photos.

Why do I get a Code 41 error when I try to printing on my hp F2400 printer

I can not make my printer work. Help.

Hi,
To solve this error code 41 issue first of all the user has to remove and reconnect the compact disk and digital video disk drivers present on your computer.
This can be done by a manual process then the user can do it by navigating the device manager on your PC.
After this process the device and drivers will be reinstalled on the system and further lets the windows to interpret the files required to run.
After doing this process your computer will run as fast as possible and also it run smoothly too.
