Not easily. You would probably have to hack up some system file and I don't think that knowledge is known outside of Apple.

  • HP P1006 printer prints WAY too light.

    My HP P1006 printer prints WAY too light.  I installed Win 7  (32-bit), then reinstalled the driver, but there has been no improvement. Changing the print density does nothing!

    Hi Jamesmuir,
    You read my mind with your last statement regarding print density; that was my first thought.
    Try following the steps in this document - Redistributing the Toner (This document displays the M1212, but the process is the same).
    Also, try printing a Supplies Status Page (This Document has Instructions for Windows) - see what your page count is for that toner cartridge. The page yield for the standard cartridge (HP 35A/CB435A) is 1500 pages as per HP Shopping.
    Let me know if the redistribution of the toner works or not, and also please post your page count from the supplies status page.
    Thanks!

    You phone the Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and if desired, update it to 10.6.8 and get Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store.

    After downloading Lion the noise level of (what I believe to be ) the fans increased. A humming noise which did not exist with Snow Leopard. Any ideas how to reduce this noise?

    I have seen this mentioned a dozen times, here, on Lion,and MacRumors.
    Nope. Usual suspects.
    And whether you tried a clean install instead (backup and erase) and then use MA to import

    First off you need to know the model identifier of the machine, not all Mac's can be reverted to Snow Leopard and not all Mac's can use the 10.6.3 Retail disk!
    To find the model identifier, boot the machine up and hold the command key and the spacebar, Spotlight appears at the top right corner and type in System Profiler and press Enter/Return.
    The model identifier should be something like "MacBook Pro 9,2" or something of that nature.
    You also can hold D while the computer is booting on/near a Internet connection for a long time and this loads Hardware Test, which one of the panes will give the required information.
    Next you download MacTracker here and look up your machine and it's original operating system.
    (Don't click the AppStore version obviously)
    http://mactracker.ca/
    You may have to right or control click on the program to bypass Apple's Gatekeeper and run the program.
    If you have the model identifier and the machine won't boot, then just ask here and we can tell you the information
    Now all Intel Mac's issued before July 2011 can install Snow Leopard, but the Mac's released after July 2011 came with OS X 10.7 Lion and the firmware won't boot off the Snow Leopard disk. (however 10.6 can be shoehorned on using Firewire Target Disk Mode and another Mac for some models after July 2011)
    Also the 10.6.3 Snow Leopard Retail Disk sold at Apple only works on Mac's that came with 10.4-10.6.2 from the factory.
    Any Mac's that originally came with 10.6.3-10.6.8 from the factory need model specific disks from Apple directly, not sold at their online store, you will have to call them with your Mac's serial number and order these disks.
    If you get the right disk and have the right machine, then you should be able to insert the disk and hold c down or the option/alt key and boot from the 10.6 disk.
    Follow these directions and make sure to erase the ENTIRE DRIVE first in Disk Utility or you will have issues later trying to fix it from the disk.

  • My iphone 4 back side names and logo light how to change panel

    my iphone 4 back side names and logo light how to change panel

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

  • Broken color management in Snow Leopard?

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro and I'm having trouble with my color profiles. I used an X-Rite i1 to calibrate my monitor (a Dell 30" 3007WFPHC) on Leopard and since Snow Leopard the colors are different. I have another computer connected to the same monitor (a 2nd generation MacBook Pro) which uses the exact same color profile and the colors are different between the two computers!
    I tried re-calibrating my monitor several times and I never managed to get Snow Leopard to display colors the way it used to on Leopard (and every time, copying the profile between my two computers gives me different results.)
    FWIW, my old profiles and the new profiles I've created were all using a gamma of 2.2, even on Leopard.
    Is this a known issue and if so, is there a known workaround? The only "weird" thing about my setup is that I've upgraded the OS instead of doing a clean install.

    Hello,
    Just wanted to stop by and say I'm going through a similar issue:
    I've calibrated my screen using an X-Rite i1 Display 2. I'm on a MacBook, circa early 2007 white model -- and though my photo colors look right and exact, system-wide menu and window selection overlays and some icons have a slight magenta tint. I'm using ColorMatch 3.6.2
    Samples:
    http://jimlafferty.com/magenta01.jpg
    http://jimlafferty.com/magenta02.jpg
    Check out the difference between the Transmit logo on Panic's site and the one in my dock:
    http://jimlafferty.com/magenta03.jpg
    When this has happened in the past, it was a matter of ensuring the calibration white point was set to "device native" -- and I ensured that it was. I've run the calibration twice, rebooted, ran it a third time. Still no luck.
    Curious to find the solution. I have emailed X-Rite support, posted a comment on their blog -- a few days and no response.

  • Color separations with Snow Leopard?

    Before installing Snow Leopard I was able to create PDF color separations by going to file > print. From there I changed the printer to Adobe PDF 9.0 and changed the Mode to Separations under Output. When the print button was pressed I would get a PDF file with all my CMYK and spot colors on separate pages in shades of black. This is the file I need to send to have negatives/plates made.
    With Snow Leopard the print to PDF command no longer works. I can still use Save As PDF, but that would require me to manually remove all colors except one and then change that one to shades of black. That process would need to be repeated for every color used. Does anyone have a work around or better way to create color separations? I have contacted Adobe and have an open case working this problem. There is currently a bit of confusion because the individual at customer support thinks I am having trouble printing color separations when I am actually having trouble saving color separations using the print command.

    Here is the work around!
    Print the file to a .ps and run it directly through Distiller  you will need to give Distiller your password.
    That suggest to me that the problem is that distiller needs to pass word in order to save the file anywhere and not be able to do so without the password it just sends it back to the system after completing the distilling when you try to print to pdf.
    Here is two of the four pages I got from my experiment
    Not ideal work flow when you are doing a lot of them but much the same we are all use to doing it in the past.
    Most important it is a way.

  • Cintiq 21ux Color Issue with Snow Leopard

    I just recently upgraded to Snow Leopard from Tiger. I have a Cintiq 21ux tablet that is noticeably "faint" now on the new SL. It appears hazy and the colors just don't pop like they did on Tiger. I didn't have this issue with Tiger. Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct the issue? I'm a graphic designer so color is EXTREMELY critical in my day to day operations.
    I adjusted the gamma and that showed some improvement but there is still a dramatic difference between my Apple monitor and the Cintiq.
    I noticed this was posted earlier but no resolution provided and it was archived.
    Please help!

    Something just occurred to me that has happened in the past that when I've upgraded the OS that the ColorSync profile that was previously selected for the Cintiq and/or my main display for whatever reason gets unselected. You may want to look in the System Preferences/Display/Color Tab to make sure that the color profile you previously had selected is in fact still there and selected. Make sure that "Show profiles for this display only" is unchecked so that all profiles are visible. More than likely it should be named something like Cintiq 21UX or Cintiq 12WX which was installed when you set up the tablet.

  • Missing color profiles in Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I did a clean install of Snow Leopard and then migrated from a clone the accounts, network setting and documents. I then reinstalled all of the applications. Everything works just fine but a good number of Color profiles for my printer (Epson Pro 3800) are missing from the Aperture pull down menus. Does anyone know where these live so i can move them over to the new install?
    thanks

    I would just reinstall your Epson software from which those profiles most likely came. If you have a full backup of the previous system then you can look for them in the /Library/Colorsync/ or /Home/Library/Colorsync/ folders. If you migrated a Home folder and the profiles were installed in the /Library/Colorsync/ folder then they were not transferred to the new installation.

  • Slide shows way too light

    My slideshows are coming out at least a stop too light when exported into .MOV or quicktime movies. Have tried a couple different exports and nothing works. I have also tried in iPhoto but they end up too dark and contrasty. Any ideas? A couple other apps that I would have to buy or aren't feature-rich render them correctly, but I'd sure like to use iMovie, which I've already paid for...
    I'm importing them as .jpg files, either srgb or adobe 1998 color profiles, doesn't make a difference.
    thanks
    dave

    solved it... need to change the compression type from any of the movie formats to the jpeg compression...

  • Coloured Labels problem, snow leopard

    Hi,
    Our studio uses coloured labels in our work flow however we have small conflict in which our new 27" imac is unable to change the label colour of specific folders that we use in our studios workflow so that the colour updates on our other macs connected to our company's server. The 24" mac and 15" macbook work fine together, however still cant get the 27" imac to work.
    The 27" imac is running on snow leopard. The 24" imac & a 15" Macbook pro (2007) both running on original leopard.
    The three macs are connected to our company's main server which runs on Windows 2003 server.
    I recently migrated my user account from the 24" imac to the new 27" imac. My old user account on the 24" imac has been disabled and a new on is now been used
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks Scott

    Hi MFJ,
    Try to scrub the current install, and install a new driver package via Apple Software Update:
    1) Click on Go menu (Click the desktop, then look at the menu in the bar at the top of the page)
    2) Select Applications
    3) Select the Hewlett Packard Folder (if it is not there, then you can skip this entire step)
    4) Select HP Uninstaller
    5) Click on Continue
    6) Select the printer.  press and hold Control + Options + Command (Apple) keys on the keyboard simultaneously.
    7) Click on Uninstall
    8) You will get a popup window - "Are you sure you want to uninstall all HP Software packages"
    9) Click on OK to continue
    After doing this, readd the printer via the "+" symbol.

  • 2006 Snow Leopard macBook too Old for a Teenager?

    I have a white MacBook, 2ghz Core Duo running Snow Leopard. Is this too old to give to a friend's daughter? Would anything a 14 year old use actually still work on this? I'm guessing Chrome, etc would be safer browsers to run. I don't want to give them something they can't use. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Depends on the kid. Snow Leopard should run fine on the Web. If she's watching a lot of videos, more RAM might help.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/Macbook_ selector
    Certainly an SSD but since this is a Core Duo machine Snow Leopard is the latest OS it will run. It's probably not worth putting the money into.
    I put an SSD into a 2009 MacBook Unibody (Pretty machine!) and it runs fine w/ only 4 GB RAM.

  • I have an older mac, i purchased Snow Leopard so that i could upgrade to Yosemite but now it says Snow Leopard is too out of date to update to Yosemite!

    So i have an older Macbook that ran Leopard and i was told via Apple that in order to upgrade fully to Yosemite i would first have to purchase Snow Leopard, then i'd be able to update to Yosemite for free. I got the Snow Leopard disc (it was scratched which REALLY ****** me off, since i paid $20, but it seemed to work installing the new OS so whatever), and it's now at version 10.6.3 - i tried to run software updates and it says it's successful, but that i need to restart my computer. Every time i try, the screen just freezes with the desktop image and never restarts. And now i can't update to Yosemite because i need to have 10.6.8! I am very frustrated and not sure where to go from here. Can anyone help?

    Don't panic. You can download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Then you can access the App Store in order to download Yosemite.
    Meanwhile you need to reinstall Snow Leopard properly:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
             you will be running a fresh install of OS X.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
