An application I have used for years suddenly slowed down.

A CAD application I have used for years suddenly slowed down to a crawl. It is virtually unusable. My other apps seem ok.
The application in question runs under Rosetta since it is a PPC app.
I have plenty of disk space and nothing obvious has changed. Any ideas how to resolve this problem will be appreciated.

I have an HP Laserjet 5m monochrome printer that I have used for years with our three Mac computers

HP Laserjet 5m monochrome printer C3917A (1997)
Operating system: OSX 10.7.4
Error message: Printer busy
No known changes made to system or configuration
I have an HP Laserjet 5m monochrome printer that I have used for years with our three Mac computers (two on OS X Lion and one on Leopard). I'm using ethernet to connect to a router and then my computer (although I have also tried to connect directly to no avail.) We went away for 2 weeks, returned and got “Printer busy” for all 3 computers. I reset the printer to factory settings. Same problem. By the way, the printer says READY. I then went to System prefs and clicked ‘–‘ in the Print & Scan section to remove the printer. When I tried to add back the printer, nothing shows up. I now remember that this may be because the means of communicating with the printer has now changed and that I had found the printer by somehow adding its address settings (or something). Can anyone help me to reconnect with the printer?
This question was solved.

CS6 which I own and have used for years won't open. Blocked because the system thinks I am a CC user and my trial period has expired

I own the suit of Adobe Programs which I have been using for years. They are paid for and registered and I have serial numbers.
Today, I cannot open the programs. The message is: Design and Web Premium Trial. Expired. I do not want to use CC. I tried it for a day quite a while ago and decided just to buy the programs.
What can I do?
How to get back to my paid programs?

If you see a trial screen, click on "license this software". I forget if you have to sign in with your Adobe ID/password before or after, but it will give you a serial number option. That is you would see a button, "I have a serial number" or a screen where you input your serial number.
Once accepted, your software will go back to its' licensed state.
Also if you still have problems be sure you are still not on any 30 day Cloud plan that you must cancel. Uninstalling CC may not be enough.
Contact Customer Care to cancel your trial or plan.

An https site I have been using for years suddenly is no longer accessible "because the authenticity of the received data could no longer be verified."

It works on Furefox on Windows7 Pro and on Internet Explorer but not on Windows 7 Home Edition, and not on my Android phone. Any ideas how to work around thus?

The exact url is rather important here.

The ringtone I made and have used for years on iPhone 5 no longer works in 8.3

I've been using a ringtone I made years ago on my iPhone 5 and with the latest update in iOS the ringtone no longer plays when a message comes in. I checked it in the options and it plays there but when a message comes in, silence. If this is something Apple no longer supports I would ask why? Are they trying to take all the fun out of our lives. People used to love hearing my ringtone when a message arrived.

Yes it is. It's 3 seconds and in the .m4r format. I used it since I first bought my phone.
One thing I've noticed, not that this has anything to do with it but... I named my phone xxx since I've had it, now when I hook it up to iTunes it shows up as xxx (2). Any idea what this is about?
thanks for your reply.

How do I set up my new MacBook Pro so I can use It to sync instead of my broken IMac that I have used for years?

I am trying to sync my new MacBook Pro with Ipad's and IPod's but I have been using IMac and it has a bad harddrive and won't boot therefore the new
MacBook Pro won't sync without erasing all IPads etc. Can you help?

Oh, wait, I've found it. Silly me!

HT5330 Why when I try to send email to several addresses which I have used for years, does the display tell me their addresses are wrong? "Mail" (a great Program) used to just send and then if an address was wrong, send back an mail to that effect. Stin

See above Question.

Thanks for the flag J.K. - they contaced me and solved my problem. On this account (which I created just to ask this question), I log in with my email rather than my user name (mtalldud). On the account that I was having trouble with, they told me to use my user ID instead of my email to log in and it worked. This is a bit confusing and seems a bit inconsistent but at least I don't need this temporary account any more to get into this community and find answers!

My internet bank web site that I have used for years will not load anymore this weekend. Most other web sites I use will load but not all. Also, some that load are now slow.

Could I have damage from a virus? My anti virus program recently found and eliminated an infection; and no further infection is turning up in scans. However, some files have been placed in the safe virus lockup chest. None appear to be necessary files for operation, but I am not sure.

How do I resolve a "'FOND' font association usability" error message? I've upgraded to Yosemite and now I get this message when using Font Book to add fonts I've used for years.

I just updated my MacBook Pro and iMac desktop to Yosemite 10.10.2.
Now I am having font problems. I tried to add fonts I have used for years using FontBook, but it says 'FOND' font association usability and warns me to not use these fonts.
This happens on both my laptop and desktop.
Any idea what to do? I use these fonts (about 12-15 fonts from the Times, Helvetica Neue and Giovanni families) regularly in my work.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi,
Check Finder>Preferences>Sidebar, is it checked there to show external drives?

Recently when creating a new blank page, application freezes. have been using for years without a problem. Upgrade?

When something that used to work stops doing so, the most likely culprit is corrupt preferences. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist file & then restart Pages. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your user Library will appear about halfway down the list. Or you can choose Go to Folder from the Go menu in Finder & paste this line in the box:

I accidentally set up two accounts. One account with my old e-mail address which I've been using for years and has all of my purchases on it. Now I have a new account with my current e-mail address. How do I disable this new account?

I accidentally set up two accounts. One account with my old e-mail address which I've been using for years and has all of my purchases on it. Now I have a new account with my current e-mail address. How do I disable this new account? I need to disable the new e-mail address account so that I can add it as an additional e-mail to my old account. THEN, how do I make this new e-mail address my primary e-mail for this old account?

Did yoo go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in?
