Cannot add any printers, the "plus" button does nothing.

I have a fresh install of Leopard with all updates to 10.5.1. When I attempt to add a printer, I open System Preferences, and click on "Print & Fax"
I have no printers. It says "Click + to add a printer or fax" so i click on the "+".
But nothing happens, litterly, its like a button that has no event associated with it.
I opened the console, and no error is thrown.
I looked at the CUPS web interface, but I see no printers, or jobs.
Anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be?

Nevermind. It was an incompatible driver from a previously added printer that was causing the freak out.

I cannot add events to my calendar. The "plus" button does not show up.

I cannot add events to my calendar and the "plus" button to add events is no visible. Help please?

Go to settings -> iCloud and turn calendar on. This should hopefully resolve your issue

The Submit button does nothing. How can this problem be corrected?

I have seen numerous postings stating that a Submit button on an XFA form will not work. I believe this may be a widespread problem.
The symptoms are as follows:
1. The form is a Designer form (sometimes referred to as an "XFA form") that contains either an HTTP Submit or an Email Submit button.
2. The Submit button works fine if the user has Adobe Professional (bundle of products incluting Acrobat and LifeCycle Designer) installed.
3. The Submit button does not work if the user only has the Adobe Reader installed.
Our users first reported this problem in October, and we have been attempting to determine what changed in our system to make this happen.
The forms were created using Designer version 9.
On Windows 7 and Windows XP test PCs we have tried various versions of the Reader X and get the same results with all of them.
We primarily use Internet Explorer as a browser.
I will admit that I have not read all of the release notes for all versions of Reader X. And I am not even sure if this is a Reader problem.
Please let me know if you are having this problem, and, if you have any thoughts on how to solve it I would very much like to hear from you.

Since this is a Designer form it may be worth posting in the LiveCycle Designer forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_modules_and_development_tools/livecy cle_designer_es. What works with Reader versus what works only with Acrobat is not only complicated, but it's different for Designer forms. We have very limited experienced people here for Designer forms, Acrobat forms is our thing.
However, I'm quite sure it isn't broken. The many limitations are by design, to sell more stuff.

Upon launching Firefox, the opening page shows an area where I can search for info, but the search button does nothing.

The opening page shows 2 things: a search bar and restore previous session. When I try to use the search bar, nothing happens.

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
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")
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See:
* [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

IPhoto Problem - The "Calendar" button does nothing when you click on it...

This problem concerns Apple iPhoto (version 7.1.4) software running on an iMac (with Leopard 10.5.5, 1.8 GHz PPC and 1.25 GB of memory). We can open and run iPhoto with no problems but as soon as we create an album (with 20 to 40 selected photos in it) and we go to click on the "calendar" icon to start to make a calendar project then nothing happens. Clicking on the "calendar" icon / button shows up as if something should happen but the calendar creation window / option box never appears on the screen. I have re-installed the iPhoto program twice. I have done all the O.S. and iPhoto updates and still it will not work. Has anyone else had this happen to them and, if so, have you been able to fix the problem?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Before you do an archive and install create a new test calendar, import a few photo and see if the Calendar button works there. If so then it's your library. To create a new library launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and select the Option to Create Library.
If the new library doesn't work either log into another account, and try there. If the calendar button still doesn't work a reinstall of iPhoto is warranted. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
If the calendar button works OK in the other account then your account is the culprit. It could be a preference file other than iPhoto's that causing the problem. To determine of that's the case do the following:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

My iPhone 4 home button no longer works, the phone works perfectly otherwise but the home button does nothing. How can I fix this?

Help me!

You can add a virtual button that you can use - heres how:
First make sure you are on version 5
the go to SETTING>GENERAL>ACCESSIBILITY>ASSISTIVE TOUCH
You will then have a button on the bottom right hand corner screen that is always there (you can move it around if its in the way). Pressing it will allow you to go to the home screen.
Good luck - it happened to me too and this was a life saver - I booked it into be seen at the Genius bar but by the time my appointment came through (it took a few days) the home button started working again - literally just as I waas in the shop! Think it might have just got a bit sticky as my 2 year old was playing with it.

The upload video to the web button does nothing, It was working yesterday but the upload failed.

Yesterday the upload to web function was working fine, this is my first attempt to up load a video to you-tube. It failed yesterday as the library closed and I lost my internet connection. I reworked the video some, rendered it and when I pushed the upload to web button, nothing happens. I am connected to the internet, what is up ?

Homefree223
I have just finished two successful uploads to YouTube at the YouTube web site, both were 1080p60 video (H.264.mp4 produced in Premiere Elements 11 with a target bitrate of about 32 Mbps (megabits per second) and maximum bitrate of about 40 Mbps (megabits per second). The uploads at the YouTube web site went without problems and the quality of the video displayed on YouTube was good. The point of all this was to demonstrate that at this time YouTube was not experiencing problems with a 1080p60 upload at its web site and that the quality of the finished upload was good. Depending on file size requirement, bitrate rates higher than the above can be looked at.
But let us recap to make sure that we have not mis-communicated on any of the details. Please correct me if any of my assumptions were incorrect:
1. You have a 1080p60 Premiere Elements 11 Windows Timeline (Expert view) and you export that to file and then upload that file at the YouTube web site. We have not gone into the specifics of the properties of the Premiere Elements 11 generated file being uploaded, but probably are:
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
MP4- H.264 1920 x 1080p30 (p30 converted to p60 in the settings under Advanced Button/Video Tab...bitrate used Target 32 Mbps and Maximum 40 Mbps)
or
2, Instead, you have been trying to upload your 1080p60 Timeline direct to YouTube from within Premiere Elements 11, via Publish+Share/Online/YouTube where you might be setting Presets = "High Definition Video for YouTube - 1920 x 1080"? You realize that the frame rate for the preset in this case is 30 frames per second, not 60.
If "2" is the focus of the problem, then try approach "1" to determine if that works for you. The disadvantage of the direct upload from within Premiere Elements 11 is that there are no adjustments available for the preset used. It is, what it is.
2. Also, what did you mean by:
"It failed yesterday as the library closed and I lost my internet connection."
Please review the above. I am heading to my Premiere Elements 11 Windows to try approach "2" which I have not yet.
Thanks.

CP1025nw, repeptetive smudges, poor print quality, pushing toner button does nothing.

I haven't used this printer in a couple of years, so I sense some of my issues might be related to that. First up, the print quality is quite poor. Despite having a new black toner cartridge, the B&W printing isn't very strong; it's blotchy in some areas with random spots in others. Second, there are repeating color splotches all over the place. I've attached a photo. Third, pressing any of the toner buttons does nothing, no beeps, blinks, or movement. So far, the only things I've tried was toreplace the black toner cartridge and blow out the interior of the machine with compress air. I also removed the drum and gave that a quick and careful cleaning.. Any thoughts?

In Windows 7 document printing the "Properties" button does not open the print selection list.

New computer OS is Windows 7. Old computer OS was Windows XP.
HP Officejet 4500 Wireless Printer G510n-z printed documents as I chose using the Porperties button on the old system. Under the new system the Properties button does nothing and I must print using "general printing" instead of the setting I wish to use. How can it be fixed?

When something works one day, but not the next, then something has changed. The fonts issue is an easy one, but with no new ones, then it is possible that one, or more, of the installed fonts has become corrupted.
While fonts are not the only possibility, they ARE a common problem. Titler is very sensitive to fonts, either corrupt ones, or badly written ones, that are not exactly "corrupt."
Good luck,

Download button does nothing

I have the Adobe Creative Suite app installed (for CS6) and wish to upgrade to CC. When I go to the app center and try to download one of the software apps, pressing the Download button does nothing.

In particular, I'm first trying to download Illustrator CC.
Any ideas?

IBook won't start up - power button does nothing, PMU reset not helpful

Hi all - I was using my iBook earlier this morning and it just turned itself off without any warning. It was running off the battery, but had plenty of charge, and there was no 'low power' warning, so it wasn't that.
I can't get it to turn on now. Pressing the power button does nothing - no whirring, beeping, chiming or anything else. I tried resetting the PMU to no effect. No lights appear on the caps lock button. I haven't tried using the Mac OSX cd, but I'm a little afraid I won't get it back out of the slot-load drive with the way the computer is behaving.
I have it plugged in now and it seems to be charging the battery, so I don't think it's related to either power or battery issues. In fact, it seems the power and battery are the only things working! Absolutely nothing else happens. Unresponsive.
My warranty ran out in September (November now, unfortunately) so if it needs servicing I suppose it will be out of my own pocket.
Can anyone help?
Mark
iBook G4 Dual usb 14" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Ok - good news. I've got the problem fixed.
After a call to Apple Support (called the Canadian one), and a $59 charge (worth it, in my opinion, since my warranty is expired) the gentleman on the line asked me to do a PMU reset with the SHIFT + CTRL + Option + Power combination. That's what I had tried before and it didn't work. Didn't work this time either.
Next, he had me remove the battery, unplug the computer from the adapter, and hold the power button down for 5 seconds. I put the battery back in, plugged it back in, and turned it on.
Voila. Works like a charm. Apparently, there are two ways to do a PMU reset.
Thanks everyone for looking at my thread, and thanks arnie for the responses.
