Can't scan to or from Mac to C4780

I was having problems with fuzzy or no picture when scanning. I used to use a HP Scan option on my Mac. But I upgraded the drivers for OS X 10.9.3. I no longer have the full disk version. 
HELP! Need to scan some pics and documents to send off.
Thank you.
This question was solved.

Hi VegasMav,
I would like to help you get your Photosmart C4780 All-in-One printer scanning to your Mac. I see you are running the newest operating system version Mavericks now. I am sorry to hear you were having problems with fuzzy or no picture when scanning. Let's make sure you can scan first, then we can ensure your scan quality is satisfactory!
Please open the following document. This document explains how to install and use the printer with 10.9. It also includes a frequently asked questions section that covers;
What if there is no driver update available in Apple Software Update?
What else do I need to know about the Apple Software Update driver?
How do I scan with the driver from Apple Software Update?
What if I upgraded to Mavericks from a previous Mac operating system?
What if I got an error trying to install an earlier version of my printer software?

Please let me know the outcome of these efforts. Thanks. I look forward to hearing from you.

  • How can I set to boot from MAC OS by default after I installed Windows?

    How can I choose to boot from MAC OS by default after I installed Windows? I have a MacBook Pro Leo 10.6.8. I used bootcamp to install Windows XP SP2, but now if I don't press the option key it will start up with Windows, and I don't want that. Thanks for any help.

    Select it in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.

  • Can I interrupt a migration from Mac Book Pro to Imac and what are the consequences

    can I interrupt a migration from Mac Book Pro to iMac and what are the consequences

    Les:
    Here are some options:
    • You could copy the data file to your laptop, work on it, and update the file on the iMac when you are back.
    • You can use an application like Log Me In to access your home computer from your laptop.
    • You can use DropBox. Install it on both computers, place your data file in a folder on the iMac, access it and work on it on your laptop and it will be automatically updated on your computer at home, even if it is not turned on, as soon as it is connected to the internet.
    Please do post back with further questions or comments.

  • What kind of mac would I need for Nexflix, basic search and email? Also, sounds silly, but can I connect an HDMI from Mac to tv?

    What kind of mac would I need for Nexflix, basic search and email? Also, sounds silly, but can I connect an HDMI from Mac to tv?

    Just an FYI.  The Macs named PowerMac date from early 2006 and before.  Use this tip to discover where to post once you get your Mac:
    Site map of Communities and Categories
    The cheapest Mac available new is a Mac Mini.   It is no bigger than many an external hard drive.  But the screen and keyboard and mouse must be purchased separately.  They support USB and Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and pretty much any DVI, HDMI, or displayport display.   Although the iMac is certainly an attractive option if all you want to deal with is deciding on a printer.   I still recommend getting an Apple USB keyboard for the occasional times you may need to troubleshoot startup issues.  Normally not a problem, but as it gets older some issues can be fixed at startup or diagnosed at startup.

    Thanks for that, it was really helpful.
    Glad to hear that worked for you. While formatting an external drive with a Mac format is best if it will be used only with a Mac, if the files on the drive have to be accessible to a PC also, it's possible to format it in an exFAT format, which both the Mac and a PC can read from and write to. However, if you do that, do the actual formatting while the external is connected to the PC.

    You can scan from a All-in-one Airprint enabled printer.

  • Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    There is no license required for iWeb.  Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

    can I transfer the photos from mac to external hard disc which is used for pc too

    A FAT32 drive can't store files which are 4GB or larger. You need to reformat or repartition the drive to include an exFAT, NTFS, or Mac OS Extended volume, or use a different drive, or use a way other than an external drive to transfer it.

    How can I scan a photograph from the printer and place it in i photo?

    Scan the document as you normally would.
    Click Save and look for a format or option to allow you to save as a JPEG file. (The normal format is probably set to PDF)
    Seve to your desktop location or to a scanned items folder if you normally scan to that desitnation
    Drag the JPEG file onto the iPhoto icon on the dock and release the mouse key
    Once you have imported the image into iPhoto, you can delete the file on your desktop or in the scanned items folder if you prefer

  • Can't update daisy disk from Mac App Store

    Can't update daisy disk from Mac App Store!! What can i do? AppStore wrote You must login in to @@@@mail, but I login to my account!

    You must sign in to the App Store with the Apple ID you used to install the app. If you don't recognize the ID, see below.
    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • Photosmart 5520 - Scan Option disappears from Mac OS X 10.9 to 10.10 update

    I have been searching this problem for the last 2 hours. I have already installed, deleted, reinstalled drivers from this website and Apples site. 
    Under printers and scanners in my System Preferences, I can choose and easily print from our HP 5520, but the scan option button has now disappeared from my 10.9 to 10.10 update. My wife has the exact same computer as me and we are both connected to the exact same 5520 printer, but she is still on 10.9 (scan option is available and works) and I am on 10.10 (scan option is gone and HP Scan doesnt work either).
    Solutions please!

    Hello @caking1s,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand since doing the Mac update from 10.9 to 10.10 now you are unable to scan with your HP Photosmart 5520.  Please go ahead and follow the steps listed below:
    Scrub/ Uninstall

    • Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
    • * Only do this step if you do not have any other HP Printers. Hold down Control, Option and Command, While holding the three buttons down,
    • Click uninstall.
    Reset Printing System
    1. Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
    2. In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan  dialog box opens.
    3. Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
    4. Click OK to confirm the reset.
    5. Type the correct Name and Password.
    6. Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol..
    Repair Disk Permissions
    1.On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
    2.Double-click Disk Utility.
    3.Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").

  • Unable to scan via Airport from Mac to Officejet Pro L7680

    I am running )S 10.7.5 on a MacBook.  Set up Airport for wireless printing.  Can't scan via Airport and can't get it to give me set up options.  removed/reinstalled software-drivers.  any suggestions?  I don't want to have to plug in the device everytime I want to scan. requires changing config.  etc, pain in the neck.

    Hi castagmc,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue when attempting to get the new Yosemite driver installed for the printer.
    I do have some suggestions that we can try in the attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
    First off, please remove the usb cable from the printer and from the Mac and leave it disconnected until further notice.
    I have a link that I am going to give you that gives detailed instruction for Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once the uninstall is complete, please restart the Mac to have the changes take affect.
    When the Mac is back up and running, disable any anti virus protection you may running. We do not want anything getting in the way when we reinstall.
    The next step is to download and install the HP Officejet Pro 8600 series Full Feature Software and Drivers.
    The installation will prompt you as to when to connect the usb cable so please do not connect it before hand.
    Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
