Cannot send fax from my mac after upgrading to yosemite

I used to be able to send a fax from my Macbook Pro by using Preview and then printing the PDF to the fax capability on my Laserjet colorMFP M475dn.
After installing OS X Yosemite:
a dialog told me that "Some of the software for the printer is missing."
When I clicked the button to install, it then said "You need to install software to use this printer... If the software isn't available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer"
Then I downloaded .dmg files for both the laserjet and officejet (I also have a photosmart I use for scanning)
I deleted the printers and tried to re-add them
When I re-add the laserjet, fax does not show up on the Printer list.
How do I get the fax driver to install on OS X Yosemite?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

My apologies for keeping you informed about reset printing system.
i have attached the screen which tells where the Use option is.
also on the screen where it displays the list of printers wait for few seconds and see if it detects the Fax. It took approx 20sec for me.

HT1277 I cannot send email from my mac but I can from my iPad and iphone

Hi Guys,
Suddenly I cannot send email from my Mac. I can however receive emails.
I can send emails with the same settings from my iPad and iPhone.
Please help!!

Your settings for the SMTP server — host name, port number, SSL/TLS or not, or login credentials — are likely incorrect. Use the Connection Doctor tool (Mail.app > Window > Connection Doctor) to check what's going on with the connections (and to get some diagnostic messages), then review the diagnostics and the current settings with the requirements established for your particular mail provider.

Good Question.
I downloaded Yosemite a while ago, but didn¹t install it because it would
knock out several applications such as Solitaire till Dawn But finally
when some apps wouldn¹t work with my current version of Safari I thought I
would upgrade Safari but they wouldn¹t work with the OS I was using so
suddenly I had no Safari and was worse off than before. So I bit the bullet
and upgraded to Yosemite with the earlier version I already had. Not pleased
when iPhoto didn¹t work, and it also coincided with an national email outage
here in Australia by the major carrier so no email either.
Experience has taught me that it gets sorted out in the end but in the
meantime...
And the lesson is [

How do I set up the fax program so I can send faxes from my mac

How do I set up the fax program so I can send faxes from my mac

Do you have a fax machine or fax modem? If not, then you cannot fax over telephone lines, but you can subscribe to one of many eFax services.

Cannot send gmail in apple mail since upgrading to Yosemite

Since I upgraded to Yosemite, I am unable to send any mail from any imap accounts. My gmail and work account are offline. I've tried all of the tricks others have posted and tried to reset the accounts up again. I left one of my iMacs using Mavericks and have no problems. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Cannot send email from non .mac server

I am only able to send/reply emails using my .mac address. My 2 other server addresses keep giving me the following message.
"Cannot send mail. One of the recipient addresses was invalid".
How can I fix this?

You should be able to send email from Safari, however I do wonder why you wish to do this and whether there is something inherently wrong with using your mail app and your iCloud address.

Cannot delete Lists from Reminders app after upgrading to iOS 7. The deal is that those lists don't show in iCloud account in the Web-Browser, so I cannot delete via Browser, when I press the button Edit in the List, there is no Delete button at thebottom

On my iPhone 5, upgraded to iOS 7, the lists in Reminders are impossible to delete. When I press Edit button in the right corner of the app, the button Delete list is supposed to be at the bottom, but it's empty there, the deal is I could delete some of the lists, but most of them I can't. I tried delete iCloud account from iPhone, but they are still there, and still no Delete button. In the Browser I don't see those lists, so cannot delete them from the Browser as well. Could you help me?

Read on another thread here that you now swipe in the opposite direction. Try swiping right to left.

OSX Yosemite cannot send fax from computer

OS X Yosemite. Photosmart 7250
fax from printer - returns "Communication Failure", no code, message in Fax Queue.
I am not prompted to enter a phone#. Fax goes to fax queue and hangs.
Manual Fax from device works fine, phoneline communication is good.
HP Utility can communicate with FAX device.
HP Utility can test Fax device, successful.
Can test FAX device from web page, successful.
checked firmware - up to date
downloaded and installed latest HP software, drivers released 10/22/2014
wiped HP printers and did a clean install.
Did a hard power reset.
In other words, have done everything HP says at least once or twice.
Oh, this worked BEFORE Yosemite.
HP software is listed as for Yosemite OSX 10.10 on website.

It was ADOBE Acrobat.
Adobe puts their own print dialog between user and OS.
I bypassed this and used the system dialog. It prompted for phone number and I sent and received a fax using HP's fax test number, 1-888-473-2963
NOTE to HP :
Your online help desk could have saved me 2 hours of frustration if they asked these questions:
Is your application using its own print dialog?
Have you tried faxing from the OS print/fax dialog?
This question should be asked BEFORE all other diagnostic tests!
Now I gotta go talk to Adobe!

How can I get my back up on my mac after upgrading to Yosemite?

Hey everyone!
Before upgrading to Yosemite I made a Time Machine back up on a external hard disk.
After the upgrade to Yosemite was done I started with the setting-screen like anyone else would. When the Migration Assistant-screen came up I selected my external hard disk with my time-machine back up on it. Unfortunately Migration Assistant wasn't able to put the back up on the computer because apparently there was not enough space.
23gb to less or something. So I deselected a few maps in order to get under that amount and tried again. Nothing happened and the same message: not enough space.
So now I am stuck with a empty mac without any of my previous documents, music, etc.. What should I do? Should I fully format my mac?
FYI: my mac consists out of an 80 GB Solid State SATA Drive and a 128 GB Solid State SATA Drive.
The back-up my time machine made on my 1TB external hard disk is 131,5 GB big.
HELP ME PLEASE! WHAT TO DO!

Can't boot from Ubuntu partition after upgrading to Yosemite

When i go to Disk Utility the Ubuntu partition appears as it always have, i had installed since Mavericks refind to boot from any partition. Now refind doesn't work and the alt/option key doesn't work either. Does anyone know a way to fix this?

A extensive report already written is in the Ubuntu stacks as
Dual boot Linux and Yosemite
Basically you need to follow http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/yosemite.html
wherein it explains that Yosemite is using a new LVM bootup from within the Recovery Partitions 10.10.
This messes up REFIT/REFIND tools which have previously installed Partition 1.S
See my current Table below , wherein << are my comments
Current GPT partition table:
#      Start LBA      End LBA Type
1             40       409639 EFI System (FAT)    << old preferred site for REFIT/REFIND tools
2         409640    154061023 Mac OS X HFS+ << main Mac partition
3      154061024    155330559 Mac OS X Boot << Recovery 10.10 , installed by Yosemite update, used to start MAC boot. BUT is not shown by Disk Utility, to prevent its naive deletion which would kill the MAC boot.
4      155330560    156598271 Mac OS X HFS+ << old Recovery 10.9, simply retained
5      157869786    228772129 Unknown << My Ubuntu partition
6      228772130    236765969 Linux Swap << which was shortened by 200 MB to make room for 7)
7      236765970    236974814 Mac OS X HFS+ << installation site of REFIND. Though 4) could have been used, there is a possibility that Apple might have future plans for this small 4) partition.
With 7) created (see detail below), my REFIND install command under MAC, within Downloads/refind-bin-0.8.3/ was:
sudo ./install.sh --alldrivers --ownhfs /dev/disk0s7
There was still required the edit if refind.conf.sample specified in Yosemite.html, which I named refind.conf.edit1
This was copied with:
sudo cp refind.conf.edit1 /Volumes/macefi/System/Library/CoreServices/refind.conf
macefi is my name for the MAC /dev/disk0s7 mount point, equivalent to /dev/sda7 under Linux
CAREFULLY do read Yosemite.html, as the instructions here are too terse by themselves!!!!
There are 2 routes to boot Ubuntu, and then creat 7) with GPARTED
a) If you can access the GRUB shell under an old REFIT/REFIND installation, partitions will be shown by:
grub> ls
Presence of a Linux file system can be confirmed by a command like:
grub> ls (hd0,gpt5)/
Output of
grub > ls (hd0,gpt5)/boot/grub/
should include a grub.cfg file. Then you can boot as usual with
grub > configfile (hd0,gpt5)/boot/grub/grub.cfg
After boot up, start GPARTED
b) Alternatively boot with the Ubuntu install disk, and choose the Demo option
Open a text console, and get admin proviledge with:
$ sudo su
# gparted
Using GPARTED, unmount if necessary any terminal SWAP partition, such as my 6) above
Then shrink the SWAP partition end by a trivial 200 MB,
Create a HFS+ partition in like my 7) for a coming REFIND installation
Note, that a file /etc/fstab contains a SWAP partition specification, which should be edited for automated SWAP start.
# sudo blkid /dev/sda7
will report the SWAP space specs LONG uuid code. This can be copied into memory by dragging the mouse over the uuid
Then SHIFT-CONTROL-C will copy it into memory.   Start an edit with:
$ sudo nano /etc/fstab
delete the old swap uuid, and paste in the replacement with
SHIFT-CONTROl-V
and swap should mount upon reboot, or with:
$ sudo swapon -a
Check with:
$ free
which should report none-zero swap space.

Cant restart my mac after upgrading to Yosemite. Reason is i can't quit the mail app.

Is it possible to retrieve word documents from my imac after upgrading with yosemite from a 10.8 to a 10.10?

I have just upgraded my iMac from a 10.8 to a 10.10 with OS X Yosemite and have lost Microsoft Word. Is there any way to retrieve my lost documents and what is a replacement for the microsoft word program? When I try to open a word document a notice comes up informing me 'you can't open the app "Microsoft Word" because PowerPC apps are no longer supported'. Are there any options here? Appreciate any info.
