Canon MP450 Printer will not print after OS X 10.4.9 Upgrade
After installing the software update, I'm unable to print. I went to download the lastest driver from Canon and installed it but I'm still having the same problem. Does anyone know how to revert back to OS X 10.4.8, without having to reinstall from the OS X install discs? Everything was working fine then, this is what I get for being an "early adopter." I should have looked through the online forums first. This reminds all to well of the issues I have when using the "PC." I guess I have to wait until Canon updates their drivers , but that means I'll have to use my PC to print everything. Please somebody help...
2.0 GHz - Intel Core Duo White Macbook - 80 GB HD - 1GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8) 30GB Blk iPod Video 1G - 8GB Blk Nano 2G - 4GB Slvr Nano 2G - 1GB Slv Shuffle 2G
No point in waiting for Canon. Their drivers are fine. The update has caused the problem, probably because it has reset permissions on some files. But for the record, I checked the pre-release version of 4.9 a month ago with a number of Canon drivers and they all worked fine. So this is not a compatibility issue with 4.9, it has something to do with the way your Mac is configured. But don't despair, this has happened with just about every previous update and you will not be the only way to have printing problems after updating to 10.4.9.
First of all you can try running the Repair Disk Permissions. This usually resolves printing issues after an update. This can be found in Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
However, since you reinstalled the driver you could have created file version conflicts, so if the permissions doesn't help, then try opening the Printer Setup Utility, clicking on the title and selecting Reset Printing System. This will delete the printer and the drivers you have installed for the MP450. Restart the Mac once this is complete and then once it is running again, run the driver installation again for the MP and then add the printer again.

IMac G4 will not restart after OS X 10.4.6 upgrade
I have manually upgraded my iMac G4 with downloaded upgrades from 10.4.1 up to 10.4.6 PPC. Each upgrade I sucessfully restarted the computer. After the 10.4.6 upgrade the computer now comes up with the grey/blue screen with the apple image in the centre and the little circle of lines going around ... endlessly!!
Does anyone have any suggestions. I know the remaining memory space is low.Hi there...
Well, you need to make free space on the computer's hard disk drive.
And it would help if you could get that large 10.4.11 Combo download
and then consider wiping everything off the computer so as to install
a fresh new complete system on a zeroed and reformatted hard disk
drive. An archive of all the stuff in your computer, to an external would
be a plus. A clone could be helpful, so as to contain all the stuff at once.
But you are a bit beyond that at this point... prevention is always best!
Between software updates, upgrades, installs; etc. it is good to restart
the computer (as it will prompt you to, and you often have little choice)
and also run 'repair disk permissions' from the System's Disk Utility.
Each time. Often, I restart a computer or start it up, and hold the Shift
key down in order to get it to SafeBoot. Then log in, and choose Disk
Utility in the Utilities folder, from GO in the Finder menu. Launch D.U.
and choose 'repair disk permissions' and after it runs, quit that & restart.
At this time, you may need to see if you can start up the computer from
the Mac OS X 10.4 installer disc and in the second Installer screen,
when a main Installer Menu bar appears, choose from the top bar to
get Utilities, and run Disk Utility from there. Run 'repair disk' until you
get a clean report; and then run 'repair disk permissions' too. Then
you can also see if SMART reports the status of the hard disk drive
as pass or satisfactory, or some bad message indicating failure.
Exit Disk Utility (in the booted 10.4 installer's disc) and choose from
the same menu in the header's menubar to select Startup Disk; use
this to try and see if the computer's system can run the computer.
At this point, I've also invoked SafeBoot and when the computer
finally restarts (after using utility from boot disc) and again use the
Disk Utility on the computer's system to 'repair disk permissions'
and then quit D.U. and restart again. You can remove the boot
installer disc any time possible, once you are done trying to repair
the hard disk drive and the basic permissions. A mouse-button held
on startup can force that Installer disc out.
Hopefully these ideas, out of sequence a little, aren't confusing.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) suggested by the App store in effort to get printer working after OS update. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Attempting to print via Airport from a MacBook Pro. Also from a Mac Pro via ethernet. Both worked before updating to Yosemite. Canon Pro 9000 Mk 2 works via USB. Tried installing driver 10.84 from OS 10.9 as suggested by PAHU; no luck.
The "stopped at server - no pages found" message would suggest an image with the print file that is created by the printer driver on the MacBook Pro. But if the Mac Pro is getting the same message then that is unusual.
To rule out a couple of causes I would try connecting the MacBook Pro directly to the MX850 by USB cable. This action should result in a new printer for the USB connection being created automatically. If not then you may need to manually create it as you won't be able to use the existing printer that exists for the network connection. With the new printer created see if this will let you print without error.
If this USB connected printer also fails with the same message then try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will also remove the Pro 9000 from Printers & Scanners so you will have to add it and the MX850 again. -
Will Not Copy After Being Idle
THIS IS A COPYING ISSUE!!! After installing the upgraded version of Comcast's latest modem/router, our HP 6550 would not print. I contacted Comcast and reported the difficulty and they informed me it was a printer problem - not their new modem. Consequently, we purchased a new HP 5740 printer The printing function worked fine and it would copy immediatley after the printer was turned on, however, after the printer sat idle for a couple of hours, the copy function would not work. If you then turned the printer off and immediately turned it back on, it would copy. Again, Comcast reiterated it was a printer problem. I returned the original 5740 back to the store from which it was purchased and exchanged it for another HP 5740 printer. After hooking up the second HP 5740, the same problems with copying occurred. I returned the second HP 5740 to the dealer for a refund and left town for three months. We recently returned and purchased a HP ENVY 7645 printer from another dealer. We are having the same issues with this printer as we had with the two previous HP 5740 printers. I discussed the situation with a level II supervisor at Comcast and he arranged for a new modem/router to be brought to the house and installed by a technician. The installation occurred today and we are still experiencing exactly the same problem. The Comcast technician who installed the new modem/router (who couldn't wait around while the printer sat idle) said that if the problems occurs after the installation, we should purchase a printer/copier from another manufacturer - or turn our printer "off and then on" when we want to copy. He also asid that if this problem does continue after the new modem/router is installed, it definitely won't be a Comcast problem. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE I SHOULD GO FROM HERE?
Hi @lamoso,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Envy 7645 will not copy after being idle. I am happy to look into this for you!
I believe this is happening due to the printer going into sleep mode. As the options are for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes for sleep mode to activate. I would recommend trying a hard reset, by going to this post,How to perform a Hard Reset, by @Rich1. It is important that the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector. See this article, Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector for more information. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
After the hard reset, I would then make sure the printer's firmware is up-to-date. Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.
Let's see what happens after giving these two steps a try!

Telephone will not work after installing fax wizard
I have a new HP Office Pro 8615. After I installed the fax wizard, my telephone quit receiving or sending calls. The only incoming call will ring on the fax. Can I uninstall the fax, as I do not need it?
Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your telephone will not work after installing fax wizard, for your HP Officejet Pro 8615. I am happy to help! What is the Operating System you are using? Windows or Mac? What version? If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos. If you do not need the fax, all you should have to do is unplug the phone cable from the back of the printer. That will prevent the printer from using the fax function. If your phone continues not to work, I would consider contacting your phone provider. Thank you for posting! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

I upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion and now my Canon Pixima MP500 will not open because PowerPC apps are no longer supported! Has anyone experience this problem?
Correct. Applications designed to run on the old PPC Macs (which Apple stopped making in 2005) cannot run on Mountain Lion.
You need to update your printer driver:

Firefox will not start, after reboot.
For a few months now Firefox will not start after I reboot my computer. In order to get it to start I click the exe then must go into task manager kill it, click the exe again, kill it again then, from there it will typically start, but sometimes it may take one or two more trys. When clicking the exe firefox will appear in the task manager under processes but will will start with ~7% CPU usage, then quickly drop to zero every time until it does actually open and start. I have ran a full system recovery and started anew after reinstalling mozilla several times failed to fix the problem. I run virus and spyware checks often and come up clean, and also run Chrome as a default browser.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Around the time 3.5 was releasedHello Tom.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author. -
My Itunes will not start after the latest update. I keeo getting error message tEventType : InPageError P1 : c000009c P2 : 00000003 . I have tried to reinstall but no joy. Any advise?
'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -

You may try booting your Mac in Safe Boot, as it can resolve many issues that may prevent a successful login.

Ipod touch will not sync after new itunes update
Ipod touch 4th generation will not sync after I updated the new itunes. Actually after I updated to the new itunes it deleted all my music from my ipod and refuses to reload. If someone could please help me that would be completely appreciated. I tried trying to sync each song individually but it didn't help (before it stopped syncing), then it stopped syncing, even though I have it hooked up it brings everything that I have on my ipod up but it won't do anything.
When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?
Thank you Espeon for the article -

Mac Mini will not boot after Security Update 2008-007
Hello,
A G4 Mac Mini machine I was asked to take a look at will not boot after the owner (succesfully) installed Security Update 2008-007 from Software Update. Booting always hangs at the blue screen after the Apple logo, and booting in verbose mode reveals that WindowServer is crashing repeatedly. Permissions and filesystems have been repaired, PRAM reset, etc. Safe boot also exhibits the same problem, but it is possible to boot to single user mode. Hardware checks out fine with diagnostic utilities.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Unfortunately, backups are not available (it's not my machine =).Hi Arkku , and a warm welcome to the forums!
I'd certainly give Sig's advice a try first.
If that should fail...

My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?
I'm having a very similar issue, paired with iTunes not being able to get online.
iTunes shows up in processes and then hangs at 17,000 K or so -- sometimes it will start up, but that (if it occurs) is a delay of literal hours.
Pretty meticulously went through all the 'cannot connect' trouble shooting, and have uninstalled, restarted, and then reinstalled every piece of apple software; issue is just as firm. Starting in safe mode or admin mode don't fix it; signing in as a different user doesn't fix it. -

HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot after windows update (windows 8.1)
After a series of windows update (windows 8.1) my HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot up, no fan noises, no lights no nothing.
I have tried a "hard reset" a number of times with no success.
When the battery is present the white LED flashes 3 times when the power button is pressed.
Please please help.Hello Cuffy,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you notebook will not boot after a series of Windows updates.
Can you tell me if you are able to access the HP Recovery Manager by repeatedly tapping the F11 key while the notebook turns on? If you can access this, try doing a system restore to before you installed the updates. If not I would suggest you go through this document: Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
If it's the Caps Lock light that is blinking this document will tell you exactly what the error is (spoiler: 3 beeps is a memory failure). This could also explain the failed updates. The updates are stored in the RAM before being applied to the operating system.
You can try reseating the RAM, or using only 1 of the RAM cards, as you have 2x4GB cards. If it still doesn't work with 1 card, try the other card to confirm it has failed.
You can replace defective cards via HP Phone Support if covered under warranty or at the HP Part Store if not covered. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
