Canon MP470 purchased from Apple 2 months ago won't work with Leopard

I purchased the latest and greatest iMac 2 months ago for my wife. I also purchased a printer as part of an Apple Store promotion. This past weekend I upgraded to OS 10.5.1 and now the printer will not work. There is no driver for that model included in 10.5.1 and Canon referes you back to Apple. Apple refers you back to the Manufacturer.
My wife wants to go back to OS 10.4 (like the commercial where Vista users upgrade to an older more reliable experience). I now have a totally useless Canon multi-funtion printer and a really cool OS without the ability to print.
Can anyone help?

Canon posted new drivers for some of their printers - including the MP470 - at the start of November. These specifically say they support 10.5 (though I had no problem using older drivers for my MX310 in 10.5.0).
Get them from:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDet ailTabAct&fcategoryid=334&modelid=15403
or:
http://www.canon.com.au/products/allin_one_printers/all_in_one_printers/mp470support.aspx
I only upgraded to 10.5.1 (from 10.5.0) last night so haven't tested printing again. I hope this helps.

  • Got replacement MacBook Pro from Apple and now CS2 won't work. Help!

    After a long story of woe, which is too long to get into now, Apple ended up replacing my near-dead two-year old computer with a new MacBook Pro. (Yay, Apple!) They imaged my old drive, and put it on the new computer, including the applications. I transferred over my CS2 Suite, but now I'm getting Space Monkey, and my Illustrator will start loading and then shut itself down. Since I got the original CS2, I've moved and moved and moved again, and the disks are no where to be found.
    Does anyone have any advice about how to get the CS2 Suite up and running again? Am I going to have to call Adobe and plead my case with them for a new install file?
    Help! I have so many files that I need to access.

    Your best option is to reinstall it, and if you don't have the discs you'll need to contact Adobe.
    Otherwise, since CS is not an Apple product, and your issues are not with an Apple product, you should post further questions regarding CS on Adobe's own forums at: http://www.adobeforums.com

  • WHAT HAS APPLE DONE? ipod won't work with itunes 9.0

    I have an 80GB iPod, (MB147LL) when trying to sync with iTunes 9.0 the iPod gets corrupted. I have the luxury of having more than 1 type of Apple computer at home. All the computers that have been updated to iTunes 9.0 will corrupt the ipod all with itunes 8.2.1 will sync just fine. All systems are running 10.5.8 OSX. What is going on? I have several iPods and they all act the same. Surely this is not just a phenomena at my house.

    I have solved the problem. You need to re-instore iTunes 8.21 by following these instructions:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10371925-263.html?tag=nl.e780
    Would recommend backing every stage up though just in case.
    Now plug the iPod into the computer. This is what happened. It still would not sync but said 'do not disconnect'. The iPod did this time show up on the desktop so I ejected it that way. Closed iTunes down and unplugged the iPod. Reconnected it to the computer. Opened iTunes. This time it synced. I let it finish syncing. But it still said do not disconnect. So I looked in iTunes and saw it was ticked for 'enable disk use'. Undid that and everything works just fine.

  • I got e-mail to download Firefox 4 and I deleted old Firefox from Applications and my computer won't work with Firefox 4 - how do I get back to my older Firefox 4 - please help

    I need to get back to my older version of Firefox - my computer won't accept Firefox 4 - how can I find my older version I had that I told to replace with Firefox 4.

    I also want to restore the old version. I downloaded 4.0 this morning, and am entirely unable to use it. All I can do is stare at that beachball.
    The concept was nice, but the implementation leaves much to be desired.
    I've attached a screenshot of "Not Responding" Firefox, eating up 93.9% of my CPU. Consistently.
    How do I retrieve Firefox 3?

  • Just installed updates, and now not protected when I go to the web! Message from Firefox warns my Norton won't work with their updates.

    A window on the screen appeared saying Firefox updates are ready to install. Which is what usually happens. So, I installed. Then, I get a popup that says:
    This version of Firefox is not supported by Norton Confidential. You will not be protected while browsing the Web. Norton Confidential cannot protect you while you use this version of Firefox. Phishing Protection requires Firefox 1.5 or later.
    I have Firefox 15.0. Isn't that "later" than 1.5? Had I known installing updates would kill my antivirus protection, I would have chosen to NOT install the Firefox updates! But, they don't tell you until after you've installed.
    So, crap. Now I'm not protected when I go online. What now?

    also, firefox has phishing protection already integrated

  • How do I stop my ipad from referencing an old apple id?  My old ID was deleted by an Apple representative months ago.  When I try to "update" my ipad it always references my old apple id which I no longer have a password for..help

    How do I stop my ipad from referencing an old apple id?  My old Apple ID was my old email address.  I contacted Apple and it was deleted by an Apple representative months ago.  Whenever I try to "update" my ipad (games etc.)  it always references my "old apple id" which I no longer have a password for or have any access too..help

    Problem is...I do NOT know the password for this "old" apple id.  I haven't used this apple id in over 1 year and it "suddenly" started to show up.  I can NOT update or down load any updates without knowing the old apple id's password either.  I am getting help.  I was able to contact tech support and they are in the process of helping me within an email reply to "reset" my password from that old Apple id, in the next 24 hours.           
    Thank you all for your help!  I hope we are able to resolve this issue.  Again, it is very odd that my "old" email or original Apple ID decided to appear after such a long span.  I will keep you all posted as to how it was resolved when I hear back via an email.

  • TS2446 Please help me,I can not purchase from apple store becuse it is ask me the secirty question in my apple ID but I forget my secrity question

    Hello,
    Please help me,I can not purchase from apple store becuse it is ask me about the secirty question in my apple ID but I forget my secrity question.
    Thanks,

    If you can't remember them then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox). A month or two ago Apple had temporarily suspended the reseting of security question/answers whilst account security processes were improved, but that may now have finished.

  • When I purchased my Mac six months ago, I transferred my Quicken data to Quicken Essentials which has worked well for me until yesterday.  Now Quicken Essentials will not open the data file.  What happened?  How do I get back in?

    When I purchased my Mac six months ago, I transferred my Quicken files to Quicken Essentials.  That worked fine until yesterday.  Now I'm getting messages that there is not application to open the files, or that it just plain can't open the file.  What gives here?  What happened?  How can I get back in?

    Launch the Quicken application and try to open the file from there, if you haven't already. If that fails, and a simple restart of the computer doesn't help, try reinstalling the application. If that doesn't cure the problem, I would suggest you take this up in the Quicken Community:
    https://qlc.intuit.com/app/full_page
    or with Quicken support:
    https://quicken.custhelp.com/app/contact/plvl1/win
    You'll be most likely to get further help with your issue there.

    I recently migrated my MacBook from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8, using the Snow Leopard CD I purchased from Apple. Since then I have noticed a strange ozone smell coming from the MacBook in the area where the hinges are to open and close the unit. I was told by Apple that it probably is not serious and is coming from the fans in the MacBook. It is true that the smell/odor is more intense when the fans are working. Apple said I should take the MacBook to an Apple Store to have the hardware checked out. Everything seems to be working correctly. I am backing up automatically wirelessly to a Time Capsule, which I had not done until recently, although I had purchased the Time Capsule in 2009. I have not noticed this odor before. Does anyone suspect something more serious that may be going on?

    You may be smelling it because with the new OS the processor is having to work harder causing it to get hotter then it would with the other OS.  I can't say there is nothing wrong, but what could be happening is just that, it's getting hotter so the fan is spinning faster and moving more air so you are getting more of the smell then you would before.  I would still continue to back it up, and take it to the Apple Store at a Genius Bar and have them look at it to make sure.  Was the computer ever in a smoky environment??

  • My purchases from Apple TV are no longer available on the device.

    I'm not sure what I've done but my purchases from Apple TV are no longer available on the device. They can only be found on Itunes under 'library/tv shows' and 'apple tv/tv shows'. How can I transfer the shows back onto my Apple TV and then erase the files from itunes? Once accomplished, how can I prevent my Apple TV purchses from syncing with my itunes (to save space on itunes, I prefer not to sync purchases from apple tv).
    Thank you in advance for any advice!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You haven't done anything wrong, this is the way it is supposed to work. You cannot sync the content back to the Apple TV and then erase it from iTunes because the Apple TV mirrors iTunes, and if it is deleted from iTunes it will also then get deleted from the Apple TV.
    You might also see this, however I strongly recommend against it.

  • What type of adapter/ converter would I purchase from Apple if traveling to France? Does Apple even offer one?

    What type of adapter/ converter would I purchase from Apple if traveling to France? Does Apple even offer one?

    The power supplies used by Apple can be used with any line voltage between 100 and 240 volts so you done need any changes there.
    What you will need is pin adapters because the European socket require different shaped pins. You can get the pins adapters at any hardware store quite inexpensively.
