Dell A960 driver problems

I have just purchased a powerbook with 10.4.3, and am having no luck trying to get my dell A960 printer to hook up. Does anyone know of a compatible driver for Mac?
Many thanks.

Hi Jamie,
You are out of luck. Although Dell A960 printer is an original Lexmark all-in-one printer (which has Mac OS X drivers), Dell has made it impossible to have it work with Macs :-((

Dell Inspiron E1705 Graphics Driver Problems

Hello,
I have a Dell Inspiron E1705 which I am having major graphics driver problems with playing World of Warcraft. I used to play the game quite a while back and got back into it recently but i had to reset my computer one day and when I downloaded the game again the screen flashed black then gray over and over again and there was nothing I could do to exit this other then manually shutting off the laptop. I had this problem a few years back but somehow the game became compatible. Basically, I am thinking about buying a completely new graphics card for this computer but I am wondering which cards are compatible and if this will fix the problem. The Inspiron had vista on it but i acquired Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit after i had heard that this may fix the problem. I am getting a new computer in three or four months so I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars hoping for less than a hundred. I will post the computer specs below:
Windows 7 Ulitmate 32 bit
2 gigs ram
100gigs rom
I believe the graphics driver is - Intel 945GM Graphics Controller
Thanks,
Matt

That laptop is not going to get the job done with the latest version of WoW. The machine isn't good for anything other than basic Internet browsing and word processing by today's standards so just save up as much money as you can and buy a better laptop in a few months.
I'd clarify - that specific model of E1705. E1705s were available with discrete graphics, those will still make the grade for WoW. (I have an E1705 with discrete graphics.)
E1705s with discrete graphics and E1705s with integrated graphics used different motherboards - no way to upgrade from integrated to discrete. There were some limited discrete-to-discrete upgrade options (such as the 7900GTX from that generation's XPS machines), but these were rarely economical.

Audio driver problem

I have what I think is an unusual symptom. My audio device comes and goes. When I have a device, it is a yellow Multimedia Audio Controller. Checking Device Manager tells me that I have no audio device installed. Why not? What happened to my audio device? I have not intentionally removed or disabled it, just one day it wasn't working. I visited Tech Guy and got advice from a few people and the prevailing theme seemed to be one of driver problems. So, I downloaded Realtek AC'97 Audio, attempted to install it but got a blue screen (not the BSOD) which said it was shutting me down to prevent damage to my computer and a full screen of info. It shuts down too quickly to read all of the info. Anyone out there got any ideas? I'm using a 6 year old factory refurb T43 with Win Pro.

@clairienz:
it looks, that mcq's T43 has flexing of the southbridge - that can happen to every notebook brand and model (my DELL Latitude had the same issue a couple of years ago). The USB 2.0 - message is an indicator for it.
The Lenovo audio driver in normal cases works fine with XP service pack 3, even it is an older driver.
One thing very often will be forgotten while installation:
Executing the downloaded package only extracts it to C:\DRIVERS\WIN\Audio. After that the setup.exe must be executed additionally.

Hard drive problem...... Please Help

Hard drive problems
I am sure it is due to my error or mistake but I received a new Maxtor III touch as a replacement for my failed drive yesterday after connecting it I went to Maxtor one touch manager software that came with it and the drive did not appear in the window so then I opened disk utilities and copied my notebook hard drive over to the Maxtor ran permissions on each drive and then closed down my system ! today when I opened my Powerbook with the Maxtor on it gave me the grey screen 2x so I disconnected the Maxtor ran permissions again and everything was fine until i power up the Maxtor and Grey screen again! Help How do I fix this?????

Maxtor one touch III firewire 800 its connected to my Titanium G$ Powerbook I am beginning to think its just another drive failure

Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?

Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?

Well, yes, data does get corrupted sometimes.
The trick is finding what data.
By 'cleaned' are you therefor meaning that the drive has been erased and the system re-installed?
Because that's the quickest way to deal with such a situation.
Back up the system first of course,
Add back 3rd party apps one at a time in case one of them is causing the problem.

Lenovo T400 screen goes dark issue, some video driver problem

Lenovo:
Motherboard:
CPU Type: Mobile DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo P8600, 2400 MHz (9 x 267)
Motherboard Chipset: Intel Cantiga GM45
System Memory: 1992 MB (DDR3 SDRAM)
BIOS Type: Phoenix (08/19/08)
Display:
Video Adapter: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
Video Adapter: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
3D Accelerator: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470
Problem/Issue:
Driver problem appeard after upgrading from XP to Windows 7.
From the Device Manager I saw that ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 was not working properly and
a) I did the "update driver software." After restart the screen light was darker than usual. (This was usual if I was working from battery but I was plugged in this time. )
As I'm not the best with computers I thought my drivers might be in conflict and to prevent serious damages, I just
b) disabled ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 from device manager.
This actually resolved the dark screen problem.
c) then I went to Lenovo support site: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-72858
downloaded newest drivers for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 (Switchable Graphics Driver)
and Intel 4500MHD (Intel GM45 Express Chip)
For some reason while installine the: Intel GM45 Display Driver (version 8.15.10.2302) gives me error:
"This Computer Does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"
Also some problem appeard when installing the new downloaded version:
ThinkPad Switchable Graphics Driver (version 8.792.5-110424b-119200C)
d) so I went back to device manager and made an update to ATI Mobility Radeon from there.
Well, I got it working, but the screen went dark again. When I disable the driver it goes back to normal
brightness and when I enable it again, it stays normal.
I'll try to restart and see what happens

We had the excat same issue.
I could get the picuture back pressing the power button until it went to sleep and then wake it up again.
After the I went to device manager to delete all display drivers both Intel and ATI and then reboot.
doing the reboot windows found some drivers it could use.
I then installed the switchable driver from lenovo.
Now windows device manger report two display drivers:
1)
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series, Version 8.792.5.2000, Driver manufacturer ATI Technologies Inc
2)
Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family, Version, Version 8.792.5.2000, Driver manufacturer ATI Technologies Inc
So it seams the switchable ATI driver take over the Intel card and the Intel driver is not needed.
At least the problem is solved for us.

I was trying to sync my 120GB iPod Classic earlier and it said it couldn't sync as the iPod disk could not be "read" or "written to". I now can't get anything onto my iPod, and I was wondering if it is a hard drive problem? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location. Select the location of your on external hard drive.

Windows 7 - HP Laserjet 8500 print driver problem

I have tried everything imaginable to correct this HP 8500n print driver problem with no success, please help!
I cannot correct or get rid of a reoccurring “Incompatible Print Settings” error dialog box message that repeatedly states that “There are one or more conflicting settings. One of the settings is: Output Bin: Mailbox 1, Accessory Output Bin: Not Installed”. The radio button options are “Restore my previous settings or Keep this setting, and I will change it later”. This same dialog message repeats 13 times for all the other various conflicts each time you click on printer properties to change to 2 sided printing or any other printer settings. This printer does not have any of these features attached or set into it.
I am a volunteer that manages a number of computers on our small church LAN, 2 computers operating on MS XP-SP3, 2 on MS Windows 7 Home Premium and my 2 problem computers that came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium of which I have performed an HP OEM upgrade to Window 7.
I have isolated this print driver problem to the Vista operating system and even when computers are upgraded to Windows 7 does not correct this driver error. I have also tried every possible print driver variant of the HP 8500, HP8550, PCL, PS to include the Microsoft versus HP versions with no success. In each case I get this error yet neither of the XP computers or the computers that had Windows 7 as a original operating system have no problems with their print drivers for this printer.
Yes, I have repeatedly searched and upgraded the operating system and print drivers. In desperation I have even tried to find the correctly behaving Windows 7 print driver and transfer it to these Vista upgraded to Windows 7 machines. However I could not isolate the driver location.
The only thing I can conclude is that this errant HP print driver was resident within Vista and remains resident even after a HP OEM Windows 7 upgrade. Additionally, all of these computers are configured to access this printer via its static IP address on the network. The XP computers are 32 bit, all of the Vista upgraded to Win 7 and OEM Win 7 computers are 64 bit machines all with respective OS.
Can anyone please help me correct this problem?

Hi,
Unfortunately I can't see your uploaded image yet as it is awaiting approval from HP.
From what I can see you are correct that HP does supply drivers for this printer and that the drivers for your printer are already included with Windows 7. On the machines affected, try the procedure below to see if it helps at all
Next download revo uninstaller on the link below and install it.
http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php
Disconnect the printer from the PC.
Run Revo and see if it finds any HP Printer Software installed. If it does, right click the software icon and select uninstall. During the process you may be asked to delete registry entries. If you are, just select all and click delete. Do the same for any left over files and folders. Once completed, reboot the PC.
Re-connect your printer to the PC and follow the guide below.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?&objectID=c02536257
If this helps you will need to repeat the process on each of the affected machines.
Best wishes,

HP Color LaserJet 5550 and Tiger (10.4.11) Driver Problem

I have recently acquired a Color LaserJet 5550hdn. I have updated all drivers and firmware available from the HP Website (Printer Driver, 5550 firmware and Jetdirect 610n firmware). The printer has been factory reset/cold reset etc. to purge any previous custom settings. I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver (933mhz) and Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11). I have made some test prints from both Preview and iPhoto and all have been dark and muddy with respect to colors. I have printed the same images from my wife's PC with HP's PCL 6 Driver for Windows XP and achieve satisfactory results with respect to color (that is to say, without fooling with any color settings in the driver, the image is at least within 10% of the color gamut compared to the screen image). Setting up the printer with the HP Postscript Driver for XP yields similar results as the Mac, dark and muddy colors. So is this a problem with the HP Postscript Driver? Is this a Mac OS X Tiger problem? Do users have color problems with the printer running the Leopard driver?
I previously owned a HP Color LaserJet 8550 (utilizing the same HP Driver for Mac OS X that the 5550 uses) and had default images (no fooling with any color settings in the driver) that were acceptable, again within 10% or less of the screen image color gamut.
I have also downloaded HP's ICC color profiles (CMYK and sRGB) and put them in library/printers/hp/profiles.
With respect to the driver itself, there are two areas in the print dialogue box which seem to have a bearing on color. One is Colorsync and the other is Color Options. Colorsync has two choices ('Standard' and 'In Printer') and I chose 'In Printer' to I assume bypass any Colorsync Conversion. When 'Standard' is chosen the print summary shows the HP Color LaserJet CMYK profile being used. There seems to be no way of changing the default setting in the Colorsync Utility to HP Color LaserJet sRGB. Not sure if it matters as the output for both 'Standard' and 'In Printer' seem to yield the same results. The options under 'Color Options" in the driver under the 'Show Advanced Options' have choices (Basic, Text, Graphics, Photographs, Advanced) and I have played with these to some extent. Although they seem to have some effect on the image, the print is still dark and muddy with respect to colors.
On a final note I have tried a 'GutenPrint' driver to see if it would yield different results.....there was not one for the 5550 so I used a driver for the Color LaserJet 5500......it would only print in grayscale....the resulting image did not look very promising even if it had printed in color.
Insights on any of the above from the community here would be most helpful!
Thanks,
-Ray

This is an update to my own post above. I downloaded the Mac OS 9 driver (yes OS 9!, but the QuickSilver is Dual Boot) for the Color LaerJet 5550 and printed (no changes to any of the driver settings) the same image (photo) as I used in Mac OS X. The image was still dark but not as poor from Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger). Although I prefer not to use color management, I used the Colorsync tab in the driver and chose to match to Colorsync with a generic sRGB output profile (no other settings were changed in the HP color options tab). The resulting image was +/- 5% within the color gamut of the screen image (yeah!!!) In Tiger the options under the Colorsync tab in the driver are 'Standard' or 'In Device' and regardless of the choice, the print result is the same, very dark and muted colors. There is no option for sRGB and if set to 'Standard' the print summary always shows a CMYK profile being utilized. Given that the HP Color LaserJet 5550 is an sRGB printer as per HP, perhaps that is a problem? I would assume the 'In Device' option would bypass Colorsync (since there seems to be no other way to turn it off) and use sRGB, but that does not seem to make a difference in the image being printed.
My good success with an OS 9 driver leads me to believe I have a driver problem in Tiger. However, I have no problems with other printers (HP All in One, DesignJet Color Plotter and wide format Epson inkjet....all of which are older) with respect to poor color output. Given this is a current model in the HP line-up and I believe in service during Mac OS X Tiger, it seems hard to fathom other users do/did not experience a problem.
Again, do Leopard users have a problem with color issues on this printer with default driver settings? Does anyone have driver settings/other insights they could share with respect to Tiger to at least get the print image somewaht close to the screen image? As it stands now, regardless of settings, the printed image is dark with muted colors.
Thnaks to anyone who can respond, even if it is to say they have no problems in Leopard/Snow Leopard as I am upgrading to a new Mac soon.

Canon iR 2530 driver problem

Hello at all...
we have bought a new printer Canon iR 2530 but our IT-man can't get it installed.
We have a Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard 64bit operating system.
He has tested several drivers here:
imageRUNNER 2530
The printer can be seen in the network and you can install at client. If you give a print order to the printer, the client says ok too. In printer spool the order is seen but it doesn't print.
Our IT-man says this is definitely a driver problem.
Can anybody of you here help us, please...

Maybe this thread will help:

Lenovo Drivers Insufficient for update to 8.1 - Driver problem - H430

Lenovo Drivers Insufficient for update to 8.1 - Driver problem (USB?) - H430
my lenovo H430 is about 6 months old - worked okay with preinstalled Windows 8
After update to Windows 8.1 computer no longer seemed to work well at all, although I am unable to provide hard evidence, but clearly it was not working as smoothly as in the previous 8 version with lots of irritating little problems - including sound.
One thing that very clearly was not functioning as it had in 8 version was the USB disconnect icon. In 8 you only had to click on icon and the USB selection window would open immediately. Additionally all USB connections would be shown - back and front USB. Select the USB to be disconnected and it would be disconnected immediately (providing not in use). After update to 8.1 this was no longer the case.
In 8.1 disconnect icon no longer worked as it had done in 8. After clicking on icon there was now always a lengthy pause, followed by the sound of the computer working (whirring sound) and then after a while the USB selection window would finally open. Sometimes it was necessary to click on icon a few times to get any reaction at all. A small MP3 player I had charged up on my computer every morning (front USB) in windows 8, was always in USB list, and disconnected without problem in 8. In 8.1 it was no longer in list and only charged sporadically (would stop charging, but if I clicked on USB icon it would start charging again - although still not shown in USB list).
After about two weeks of 8.1 my screen suddenly - but only briefly - went black twice. I ran a sfc /scannow. problems were found but could not be resolved. I did a Dism /Online/Clean-Image/RestoreHealth this was reported as being successful. About two days later my computer went into blue screen BSOD - "critical-services-failure" - from which I was unable to get out of. The only option open was the Lenovo restore option. Computer was returned to factory state with los of all data.
back to Windows 8 the computer once again worked okay - no problems - and USB icon once again worked correctly (including with MP3 player).
About 2 weeks later after receiving MS messages to update to 8.1 I called Lenovo support and asked about update to drivers for 8.1.
the following list was given:
Chipset: Intel chipset Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version : 9.4.0.1022
Video: CPP2 AMD DISCRETE VGA CARD DRIVER for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version: 13.152
Audio: Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version: 6.0.1.7030
LAN: Realtek Lan Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version: 8.018.0621.2013
STORAGE: Intel RST Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) - Desktop Version: 12.8.0.1016
I updated to 8.1 and then updated all the above drivers (no USB driver update was available).
The same problems as the last update to 8.1 and USB was as bad as it was in last 8.1
Some days later my computer went into blue screen BSOD once again - although this time did not stay stuck there, and quickly restarted - due to speed of restart I did not get time to read all the text and discover the cause of BSOD.
Computer is still running badly - particularly the USB icon disconnect.
Called Lenovo support but they have been no help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lenovo are failing us with the 8.1 update and the DRIVERS FOR 8.1
BSOD
all i could find was this: (probably refers to after BSOD - the restarting part after BSOD???)

I have now seen the suggestion by Tomaspoko and Brillow at http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series/Windows-8-1-update-S440-ThinkPad-black-screen-wit...
Despite the AMD driver giving an error during install at the last stage of the suggested fix, this has now yielded a working switchable graphics for my S540 for the first time with Windows 8.1. Catalyst Control Center also works for the first time, so thank you to both the above-mentioned posters for a solution that does work.
Hopefully in time AMD will release a non-broken updated AMD driver and CCC package.
Thanks again for a nice solution from this forum - the problem was driving me nuts!

Restoring iTunes files after hard drive problems

HI.
I recently had hard drive problems and since the recovery of the data I have lost all my files from iTunes. The sogs I have put on to the Mac via CD's are all still there but all the iTunes downloads have disapeared. This is probably because I didn't back up!
I also have numerous duplications, which I eventually removed from itunes but I know the majority of which will return if I drag my music folder across.
This will be a hige taks again to remove the duplications.
I want to use this unfortunate incident to my advantage though and now have a clear out of my unwanted files and keep my iTunes nicely organised.
I also lost my playlists, which is a major pain.
By looking at the support threads it seems that I can use my ipod to put my library back as it should be. Will this also replace my downloaded songs? My other issue is that some of my iTunes downloads, downloaded with some problems, which are obviously on my ipod. How do I go about getting the songs repaired?
Thanks for any help.

I imagine if the files exist on the ipod you can get them transferred over. if they don't exist, they are gone.
As for the corrupt files you would need to provide more information on the issues.
