Canon Pixma 8120 won't print after new hard drive + TC install

I have a great Pixma 8120 which was previously successfully networked wirelessly to an intel imac SL 10.6.8 and
a Macbook Pro running Lion. Our internet connection is Fios via router and the imac had been connected via
ethernet to the Fios router.
Last week, the imac's hard drive needed to be replaced - Apple Geniuses
installed the new hard drive at the apple store and restored all of the data. I bought a new Time Capsule
and backed up the new hard drive as soon as I got it home (yes I got religion).
I now have the TC connected via ethernet
to the router and set up a new network -- connected both the imac and the macbook via airport no problem. Nice
fast internet (safari).
The problem is the Canon printer. I configured the printer to recognize the new network over the TC and was able to
connect it via wi-fi to the access point. When printing however, the printer icon pops up in the dock and looks like its starting
to process the job but then the job disappears fromt the print queue screen. poof. nothing.
I suspect I may have a problem with the TC's security settings not being compatible with the canon - the canon manual does say something about the canon not supporting "enterprise" and I did see that in the TC settings.
I have a huge work project due tomorrow so I decided to forego the wireless thing for now and just hook the printer up
via USB to the imac. I reinstalled the Canon software following the all directions for when to plug in the USB in the process.
It didn't work. Then I went to the Canon support page and downloaded/installed an updated driver. Now I have
a nice new looking printer icon but when I try to print it starts and then gives me a "communication error has occured"
message -- error 306.
Does anyone have advice for me?

Never mind. I realized that I needed to ethernet the imac to the TC.
I just got the Canon to print. Sorry to bother.

After new hard drive, Leopard installed, cannot log in - Help Please!

The local Apple store installed a new hard drive and Leopard on my G5 desktop yesterday. I attempted to restore my applications and documents, using Time Machine from my external G-Drive but am getting the message "you may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item (Turbo Tax Premier 2007)". I also tried to install the application iWork which I purchased and it too would not let me because it was asking for a password. I typed my old password and user name that I had given to the Apple store (they asked me for it) but it was not accepted or recognized. Should I return to the Apple store and let them do this for me, or is there a reason my password and user name is not being recognized? Also, I do not have the Leopard DVD that they installed from to make any changes or reset the password (I have the original Leopard that I purchased when it became available but hesitate to use it since it caused my Mail App to become corupt which was the reason I went to the Apple Store in the first place as my other Leopard applications and system seemed to be working ok - but when they attempted to reinstall the OS, that's when they called me and said I needed a new hard drive since the attempted installation failed.) Sorry about rambling on, but wanted to give you as much info as possible about my situation and would appreciate any suggestions and help.
Will I have to reinstall all my applications such as Quicken, TurboTax, iLife, ect or should they be restored from my G-Drive? I'm worried about loosing my "documents" as they were created using the older "Appleworks" application; that's why I purchased iWork, to transfer them to.
Thanks again.
Charles

Just thought I'd refresh my recent post to see if any of you current viewers might have a suggestion as how to fix my problem with the "log in". I really appreciate any ideas on this subject.
Thanks,

How do I reinstall the recovery hard disc after new hard drive was installed?

I just purchased an HP Envy dv6 Quad Edition, w/ windows8,that came with the 1Tb hard drive. I made a recovery backup on an external hd and installed a new HHD. When I turn it on I can't see how to install the backup? What do I need to do? The item # is c0l27av.

Hi manfield45,
Take a look at these documents on Recovery and Restoring
1. Performing an HP System Recovery
2. Creating Recovery Discs or saving a recovery image to a USB Flash drive
3. Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers
I hope these options help.
Good luck!

I am having sporadic issues after new hard drive install and recovery using Time Machine. The same sluggish response, start up screen pixelating...If I reinstall Lion will it wipe out other applications? My HD was formatted and partitioned correctly, I have a late 2009 iMac.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

How to restore music on computer after new hard drive installed?

had new hard drive installed and am not able to retrieve/find music that was backed up on my computer before new hard drive was installed. Only music that was in the "cloud" was able to be retrieved. Any idea where it could be?
Thanks!

Did you reinstalled iTunes ? It looks like you had a newer version of iTunes with the corresponding database, and now your iTunes seem to be an older version. If you are a little patient, you might easily fix this with iTunes 10.5 which should come out very very soon since iOS 5 has been annonced for tomorrow.

Computer won't access or stay registered with third party accounts after new hard drive installed

Had a hard drive crash a a few months ago on iMac. Took it to an Apple-certified repair place, and they installed a new hard drive. (And I think updated the OS as well.) iMac is working great, but have run into an odd issue with signing into accounts -- such as stores, banks, etc. Each time I try to sign in I need to reregister the computer or in some cases, I simply can't sign into the account at all, despite using the correct user name and password. Tried calling the third party accounts customer support and got "It's a Mac - we don't have anyone who does that." One other place said it "might have something to do with cookies."
Can anyone help out with this one? It is extremely annoying!
Thanks!!

Thanks. This seems to have worked.
I ran the reinstall and then upgraded back to 10.6.8 via software update, and App Store and iTunes both work now. I was able to log into my iTunes account and my old purchase of 10.7 was there. I'm downloading it now as I type this.
I still have to deal with the fact that iLife and iWork and Xcode aren't working (and probably other things too), but the biggest hurdle seems to be crossed. I'll deal with the other apps tomorrow.
Thanks again!

My MacBook won't boot into recovery mode after new hard drive installation. Please help!

I just installed a new hard drive. On boot it keeps on going to the flashing folder with a question mark inside.
I was able to format the new hard drive but am unable to boot into recovery mode to install the operating system over the air.
When I hold down Command -R it keeps on taking me to the flashing folder.
Please help!

A new hard drive doesn't have a recovery partition. It's totally blank.You're going to need either your original install discs or a Snow Leopard retail disc from which partition, format and install OS X.

MacBook Pro won't boot with new hard drive, but a different MacBook Pro will

So here are the details. My friend and I both have 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro's. Same processor and specs since they were purchased at the same time, but originally had 250 GB hard drives. His hard drive failed and needed a new one. Put a 500 GB Seagate Momentus 5400.6 in his computer, and tried using a flash drive with "Install OS X Mavericks" on it to install Mavericks on his new hard drive. No matter what, it wouldn't install. I finally was able to install OS X 10.9.4 on it by connecting the new hard drive to my computer with a USB hard drive enclosure. I put the hard drive back inside his computer and it wouldn't boot (stuck on the gray screen with apple logo and a spinning wheel). I then attached to the hard drive to his computer externally with the USB enclosure, and then it booted and worked perfectly.
So, it seemed like the problem was with something inside his computer, but then I switched our drives, and that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I put my original hard drive into his computer, and his new hard drive into my computer, and they both booted and worked perfectly, so I have no idea why his computer will not boot with the new hard drive internally.
To summarize, his computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally (won't work if it's internal), and 2) my hard drive internally
but my computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally AND internally, and 2) my hard drive internally.
Both hard drives have OS X 10.9.4 installed
If anyone has any idea what's causing this and how to make his computer work with the new hard drive internally that would be greatly appreciated.

So after switching the internal SATA cables from each computer, now we have
His computer, with my SATA cable:
1) Worked with every hard drive!
My computer, with his SATA cable:
1) Works with 1 TB Toshiba hard drive
2) Works with 500 GB Seagate hard drive
3) Works with my original hard drive
4) Flashing folder with question mark with his old hard drive
So it turns out you were right! Definitely had something to do with the SATA cables. But it's still strange that mine was able to boot with all the hard drives except the one that was originally in his. So it seems like it was some combination of his SATA cable and something else, since when his SATA cable was in his computer only 1 hard drive (my original) worked, and when it was in my computer, 3 hard drives worked. But at least its working, and I'm just gonna keep our SATA cables switched since that seems to work out fine

System restore on DV6 not working after new hard drive installed (Vista 32-bit)

Hi there,
I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment laptop (DV6 1210sa) and recently on start up I have been receiving a message saying that the hard drive is at imminent risk of failure. I therefore burned the restore CDs and bought a new hard drive: (A Toshiba 2.5 inch 80gb SATA hard drive 5400 RPM). The first part of the restore completes successfully then the HP screen appears after a restart and then goes to install windows, but before this begins I receive a message saying “Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer.” I then have to restart and get the same message. Is this drive somehow incompatible? Is there something I’m missing?
Thanks in advance

Here are the factory specs for your HP Pavilion dv6-1210sa Entertainment Notebook Computer. Based on the specs, the original hard drive was 250GB. This could be a factor in your issue. It could also be that the drive is an advanced format (AF) drive. Please provide the model of the drive for our review.
Please send KUDOs
Frank

Restoring data after new hard drive installed

I just got my MacBook Pro laptop back from Best Buy after having a new hard drive installed. I did not have them restore my files, as I have backed up files on my external hard drive- WD My Passport for Mac. I never originally did anything to the external drive in terms of setting it up, partitioning it, or anything. I just plugged it into my laptop and assumed it was doing the backing up. Also, now that I have my laptop back, I wanted to see if the external hard drive did what I hoped it was doing- backing up my files. I have have now plugged My Passport in hoping to restore my laptop and have discovered that I can't open some files from my iWorks files, as it appears that I may now have to reinstall that app. I guess I was assuming this app would have been saved to My Passport. In order to fully restore my files myself (trying to be more computer independent) what should I do? I have been reading some of the other questions people have asked that seem to be related to what I'm trying to do and read about partitioning My Passport. Should I go in now and make the one partition under the Volume Scheme on My Passport and then switch the name and the partition scheme from Apple Partition Map to GUID Partition Table? The message I'm getting is telling me that partitioning this disk in this way will delete all the data on this disk, so I cancelled and reset everything back the way it was, concerned I would lose all my data. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can download iWorks from the App Store. Since you purchased it previously it should be a free download.
Repartitioning or reformatting a disk will erase all the data on it.
If you are already testing your iWork files it sounds like you have restored or can restore the files. Other than iWorks, what did not get restored?

IMac taking long time to boot after new hard drive installed. Help?

I recently had a new hard drive installed on my iMac (running Snow Leopard). After the intall all was well, but I couldn't get my screensaver to work. Erroneously thinking it was missing, I reinstalled it and ended up with two screen saver folders in the system files. Now when I turn on the Mac, I get a white screen for several seconds (close to a minute) before the system shows me the Apple logo and then boots. I'm concerned about this. Did my copying the screen saver cause the problem? Should I reinstall my system software? I was planning to upgrade to Mountain Lion anyway. Will that fix the problem? Any suggestions appreciated.

Restart in Safe Boot Mode (hold the left Shift key as soon as you restart your computer and hold it until the Apple logo appears). Once it gets to the desktop you can restart normally. Safe Mode serves a number of purposes and one of them is to delete/trim temporary files that might be causing boot problems. There's no guarantee this will improve your startup time but it will do no harm and I have seen computers restart more quickly after a Safe Boot.

Recovering playlists after new hard drive installed in computer

The computer repair store explained that all of my itune music was exported to my external hard drive before they installed an upgraded hard drive into my old computer. I was able to retrieve my songs from my external drive and put them into my "new" library after I downloaded itunes software onto my new hard drive. I seem to have LOST all of my playlists during the transfer to/from the external hard drive. How do I retrieve these playlists? Thanks for your help.

Did they also copy the iTunes Library.itl file as well as the iTunes music folder? This is the database of the songs in your library and the playlists and other info.
If they deleted the file, iTunes creates a new, empty copy when you re-install it, but any playlists are lost.
If you still have them on your iPod, then a 3rd party app may help.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.

Re-installing Linksys Connect on laptop after new hard drive installed

I have a E4200 router and had Connect loaded on my laptop. My hard drive crashed and needed replacement. I had no problem signing on to my WiFi once I got the new hard drive installed.
With the new hard drive, I now do not have Linksys Connect installed on my laptop. My question is: Can I re-install Connect with the router running perfectly well or will re-installing Connect with the router already up and running cause me problems?
Thanks for any help.
Solved!

Trouble Restoring Compaq Presario C762NR After New Hard Drive

I installed a new hard drive in the laptop and bought the recovery disks. The recovery runs for hours and then fails. It gave me a whole list of (Pass/Fail) items and it seems that the only part that failed had to do with .systemlogs
I wish I could just copy and paste the message but I can't. The error did not give any codes. My friend can't afford a new computer at this time and I was really hoping I could fix this one. Is there any solution? Is there a way to copy and paste the error report to make this easier?
Thank you

If the original operating system is changed to a non-Windows 7 OS, or if the PC cannot access the Windows desktop, or the Recovery Manager cannot be started by selecting the f11 key on startup, you can use either the personalized recovery disc that you created, or you can order a replacement recovery disc from HP to start the PC and restore the hard drive to its original operating condition.
NOTE:Performing the recovery process using the personalized recovery disc that you created may take less than an hour. Using replacement discs ordered directly from HP may take four to six hours and includes several restarts.
If the HP Recovery Manager on the disc can access the hard drive, it will attempt to repair the recovery partition. If successful, a prompt is displayed to continue running the recovery using the Recovery Manager on the hard drive. If the program on the hard drive cannot be repaired, continue using the recovery disc in the optical disc drive.
Use the recovery disc to restore the PC by following the steps below.
Insert the recovery disc in the optical disc drive and start the computer.
If the computer is running, insert the recovery disc and immediately click Start and select Restart to force the computer to start from the recovery disc.
When prompted, Press any key to boot from CD or DVD, press any key on the keyboard.
Allow the recovery disc to start and load the required files while the Microsoft loading screen is displayed. It may take several minutes to load the required files.
When the HP Recovery Manager window displays, click System recovery .
Follow the on-screen instructions and perform the required actions.
NOTE:Do not interrupt the recovery process even though the computer may restart, or the Windows desktop may display, or the process may appear to pause for several minutes at various times.
When prompted, follow the on-screen instructions to back up the user files.
After performing the backup, when prompted, re-insert the recovery disc, and then click Next to continue the recovery process.
A status box is displayed to indicate the status of the recovery and the estimated time remaining.
If you used multiple discs when you created the personalized recovery discs, follow the prompts to remove the first disc and insert any requested discs.
When prompted to Insert the Supplemental driver disc , take one of the following actions:
If you purchased a replacement recovery disc from HP, and it included a Supplemental driver disc, insert the disc and click OK or Next . The recovery program checks the supplemental disc and installs the specific needed files.
After the Supplemental files are installed, a prompt is displayed to remove the Supplemental disc and insert the original recovery disc.
If you purchased a replacement recovery disc from HP, and it did not include a Supplemental driver disc, click Skip or Cancel . The recovery program will ignore the request and install the next file on the recovery disc.
If you created a personal recovery disc, press Next to continue.
Continue following the on-screen instructions to complete the recovery process.

OS X Lion Version 10.7.5 and after new hard drive I have lost iPhoto, iMovie, etc.

I have the OS X Lion version 10.7.5 and after a new hard drive I have lost iPhoto, iMovie, Garage Band etc. I have tried the re-install of the OS X Lion and checking the app store under 'purchases' but none of these options were successful.
When I click on iPhoto in the App Store, it says that it cannot update because version 10.9 is required (I tried to transfer iPhoto from my brothers computer but he has a newer laptop which means I cant open it whcih is why it says 'update' but have deleted it now). When I go to iMovie on the App Store, it says I need to pay but the only reason I dont want to do that is that it origionally came on the computer and after paying Apple to install a new hard drive I dont want to have to pay for all the apps that origionally come on it.
Can someone please help

Then you will need the Original System Reinstall DVD discs that came with the system to reinstall the iLife suite of apps then you can update them from the Mac app store or through Software Update.
Those discs came in the box the computer came in. Hopefully you still have the box and those discs.
