C510a can't scan on new iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2

I recently setup a new iMac using a backup of an older iMac, both running Yosemite 10.10.2 and my HP Scan 3 software no longer works.
In an attempt to resolve the issue on my own, I followed instructions to remove all the old HP software and reinstall. Unfortunately the HP website does not have scan software downloads for my unit, so I have no software to prompt the device to scan.
After reading through many threads on this site, I have added the printer via System Preferences and have seen the "Open Scanner" button/prompt, but when I click on it, I see a pop up window and the message "An error occurred while communicating with the scanner."
At this point, I'm not sure where to go next. Any suggestions on how to resolve these problems?

Restarted the unit. Was prompted to update software and it downloaded all the necessary programs/drivers. Go figure.

  • Can I transfer my iWeb files to new iMac running Yosemite

    I have recently purchased a new iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2. I have a set of iWeb files that I was working on but had not yet published as a website on my old iMac which is running OS X 10.5.8. Is it possible to transfer these files to the new mac? I can't find any iWork or iLife files in the Applications folder on my new mac.

    Yes, you can transfer the files, but you will be unable to open them, because as you have found, new Macs have not shipped with iWeb installed on them for a long time now - iWeb as you may or may not know is very old software now that has not been sold or supported by Apple for at least 3 years.
    The only other way that you will be able to get iWeb onto your new Mac is buy a copy of iLife 11 or iLife 09, both of which contained the final version of iWeb - which is iWeb 09.  You would need to purchase this from Amazon.  You could try an old installation CD that came with your other Mac if you still have it and you could try installing iWeb onto your new iMac from that, but if it does not work, then you'll have to buy a copy of iLife 11 or 09 from Amazon.
    Your other alternatives of course are to find some new web creation software that is supported or you continue to use iWeb on your old Mac and just update and publish your sites from that machine.
    In the end though, it might just be easier to bite the bullet and move onto some new software and re-build you site with that.
    Software that is worth taking a look at is RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, WebAcappella 4, Flux V and EverWeb.  Then don't forget all the online website builders that you have, that are slightly different, such as WordPress.com, Wix.com and others.
    Other alternatives are then the Content Management Systems such as Drupal, Joomla and WordPress.org.
    I would suggest that you take a look at EverWeb first though - it is very much like the iWeb interface and can do a lot more than iWeb could out of the box, such as contact forms included, SEO included, drop down menus, master pages, support for PayPal with widgets and lots more.
    Take and look and you can download a trial version before you buy.
    There are lots of different options available to you, but ultimately, if you want to continue using iWeb on your new Mac, then you'll have to buy iLife form Amazon.  Time to move on perhaps?!!

  • Can I reboot my new iMac running OS 10.7 into Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an external hard drive

    I have installed my hard drive from a previous but terminally I'll iMac that was running Snow Leopard into a Sata to USB  enclosure. This is displaying on the desktop of my new iMac running Lion as an external Hard drive,also system preferences sees it as a start up source.My question is , is it safe to restart into Snow leopard without causing a kernel panic and if it does boot will it be fast enough to use as it as a USB drive.I know I could try it and see, but I would rather some advice.
    Regards
    John Lewis

    Yes you should be able to (as long as your computer didn't ship with lion, if so idk it would prob work though) although be aware it will be MUCH slower than the normal OS. Hope this helps!

  • How to transfer data off HD of old iMac running OS 10.5.8 onto new iMac running yosemite

    my older brother's 24" iMac  running Leopard 10.5.8  is having issues and shuts itself off without notice so we got him a new 27" iMac off the apple website. 
    We also bought the Apple Extended warranty due to his & my computer skills are limited plus he lives in another state  for a quick drop by to help with my limited skills as well. 
    His local non apple tech person thinks the old iMac probably has an issue with Mother board causing computer to shut itself down and suggested  replacing old mac  with a newer one which we did.  
    I was visiting my older brother who lives out of state a couple weeks ago when the new iMac arrived so I tried to transfer data off old HD to new iMac via USB cable but got error message saying the old iMac also had to be running OS Yosemite!   
    Due to how far back his old iMac OS version is, and not knowing where / how to get the newer  OS disks needed what are his options to get data from Old iMac to new iMac? 
    Also, his old iMac shut down again and he has not been able to get the old mac to start back up so upgrading OS's does not seem to be an option now. 
    Before his mac shut down, my brother  thinks someone told him that if he had iCloud set up his data could transfer via iCloud?   I have no idea if that is correct nor how to set that up.
    if i remember correctly when i was there a couple weeks ago when the old iMac was running during the process of trying to transfer data I think the new computer  also gave another option on how to transfer-migrate data but I don't' remember what that was?
    DUE to the old imac may not start up again, can't he have the old iMac HD removed and put into an external case and plug it into new iMac as and external HD & then take files off for use on the new iMac?
    any and all suggestions / help will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Bob

    Thanks  that was very helpful for transferring files and looks like it solves the problem with not having to update the Operating Systems to Yosemite.  
    I forgot to ask about how does one transfer actual Programs like MS Office for example from  the old drive? 
    Transferring files using the drag and drop process is simple enough but don't actual Programs like MS Office have a much more complicated/larger data package that may be located in various places on the old HD versus files are much smaller and are in one place?  
    If I remember right when i got a new iMac a few years ago, my old mac was still working so i was able to use a cable to transfer data & programs off it to newer iMac and  ALL of the Programs like Office etc. transferred over including user accounts etc.?  I may be wrong as its been a few years?
    Again  Any help & or suggestions are appreciated!
    Thanks

  • I just upgraded to a new iMac running OS X 10.8.2 and can't scan from by Brother MHC 7820N.  Printer works.  I reinstalled the scanner driver but when I try to scan, the scanner doesn't connect to the imac.  Image Capture says no scanner connected.

    I just upgraded to a new imac running OS X 10.8.2 and am having trouble scanning from my Brother MHC 7820N.  Printer works fine but the scanner won't connect to the imac.  I reinstalled the scanner driver from Brother.com but no luck.  When I go to Image Capture, it says no scanner connected.  Any suggestions?

    You might try a third party scanner software. Printer manufacturers are terrible about keeping their products updated. I'd recommend VueScan, you can get a trial version here and if it works and you like it you can purchase it.

  • Can the 21.5 inch imac run the new final cut

    I am going to be selling my g5 and using part of that money to purchase a 21.5 inchimac, my question is can the new imac run final cut and all its components with no problem. Does it really make a difference which version (graphics card) I get with the imac....and would I be better going with a macbook pro....and if I did get the macbook pro would it have to be the biggest one. thanks

    Go to Apple's Website, look at the specs for the iMac. Then go to the Final Cut Studio page on their site, and look at the system requirements. If they meet, then yes. If not, then no.

    Really need to be able to save back to the older versions, in order to output vector files on an older plotter. Running an older application of Mac sign from Softeam, can't get in touch with them. Total pain to upgrade, been dumbing down for too many years.

  • I bought a new imac running Loin and Office 2011. The server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software.

    I bought a new imac running Loin with Office 2011. I am the only mac in the office and the Server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software other than webmail access through our website. It looks as though 2011 is not compatible with 2003 per some searches online, but what are some options I have to gain full access again? I purchased parallels in hopes that this my help and I am able to use remote desktop connection to log on to server but can not drag and drop files I need. There is a shared drive on that Server we all use to exchange files.
    The two main issues are gaining access to my email again and ability to drag and drop files from mac to pc. I hope this is enough info to get some solutions.
    PS - IT person says my iMac's IP is what his server does not understand so that is why I can not login.

    Office 2011 is not compatbile with Exchange 2003.
    I suggest you post further Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:

  • Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard to new iMac running Mountain Lion

    Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard time machine files to new iMac running Mountain Lion.  I can run connection doctor OK.  But the activity window is blank.   If you try to open message viewer window then mail program crashes.  Would really like to get my old emails back as the old imac is totally dead.  Thanks for any help. 

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. 
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

    I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format."  Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist".  Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

    Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion!  "you need to copy that file to your new computer..."  Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export.  Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)?  Copy it to and from a thumb drive?  But then place the file where?  And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)?  Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

  • What is the best way to connect a G4 running 9.2.2 or 10 to an new imac running lion?

    What is the best way to connect a G4 running 9.2.2 or 10 to an new imac running lion?

    It should be possible to network them easily.
    Ethernet will be the most straightforward. There is no question that you can plug both Macs into a normal network and they can share files if you turn on File Sharing.
    The iMac has a Gigabit Ethernet port, and if the G4 also has Gigabit Ethernet, that will be a very fast connection through a gigabit-capable Ethernet cable or router. Otherwise both can use the slower Ethernet speeds with no problem.
    You can also network the two machines via a FireWire 800 or FireWire 400 cable if necessary, and use File Sharing that way too. Finally, you can put one Mac into FireWire Target Disk Mode, which turns it into a hard disk that the other Mac can see, but this is the least flexible since one machine goes out of service, and it's probably no faster than Gigabit Ethernet.

    Although the HP Scanjet shows up in the system profile for the computer it is generic and is not configured (as in screen shot).  It also does not show up in the ;ist of pritnters, scanner when I open Image Capture.  I can't load the software that came with the printer because it is out of date so that would make it impossible to configure the scanner on the new iMac. see below:  Too bad there isn't some generic profile I could load that would cover the 5550c.

  • This is in the category of "dumb" questions. I am adding a new iMac running

         This is in the category of "dumb" questions. To my home office that includes
    a 2003 power pc G5 running system 10.4.11, I am adding a new iMac running
    Lion. Question - can you share files back and forth (e.g., a Word file, camera images) by simply
    coupling the two computers through USB ports? As opposed, for example, by burning
    a DVD and using that in the other computer.

    Why wouldn't you just use the network to share files, then?  Simply set up a folder on one of your systems (I would recommend the Lion system) for sharing, turn sharing on, and then connect to it from the other system.
