Dell printer not working right with 10.6.4 update

I updated to 10.6.4 yesterday and now my dell 5130cdn isnt working properly. most of the time i get a network host is busy and then it eventually prints 5-10 minutes later . Ive deleted the printer and reinstalled the mac os driver dell. no change.
Do i just have to wait for Dell to update their driver ( if ever) or is there any suggested fixes?
Thanks

Am experiencing this same problem. Got a new Dell 5130 cdn Color Laser printer. Hooked it up to the network, my wife can print to it fine from her PC, my kids (running OS X) have no problem, but when I try to use it (running Leopard - 10.6.4) I get the "Network host 'DELL9CDE5B.local.' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds" and it keeps extending.
It does eventually print, after a few minutes. Takes about 3 or 4 minutes per page to print. Tried Print Therapy, no help.
Called Dell, they said they don't offer support for OS X system. Huh? I said I would return the printer, all $1,400, they then "escalated" things and said they would have someone call me w/in 24 to 48 hours.
Very frustrating that it appears Dell doesn't have drivers that work with 10.6.4.

Scroll-bar STILL not working right in 10.6.1 update

The scroll-bar is STILL NOT working right in the 10.6.1 update. I am not able to click anywhere on the scroll-bar and have the navigation go there. I have to drag the blamed thing where ever I want it to go. This problem only exist with the recent iTunes 10.6.x updates.

I have the new MacBook Pro 2010, Dell 3007WFP. No mirroring problemsat that or higher res. I was chagrined, however, to find out that while my 2007 15" MacBook Pro had no problems driving the Dell 30", the 2010 17" requires the Dual Link cable for $100 extra. ;>(
But it works fine.

Dell Printer not working

I'm am working on an iBook and my friend has a Dell XP desktop. We are on a wireless network and can share files. I want to be able to wirelessly print to his Dell A920 which is connected via USB to his computer.
I am able to connect to the printer and set it up...i.e. I can use Printer Setup Utility navigate to his computer select the connected printer and everything. However, I am not able to selected what kind of printer it is because Dell isn't a choice, so I leave it as Generic.
When I go to print a word document the printer makes noise (sounding like it's going to print) and a status bar showing the printing process shows up on the Dell's screen. Except, it goes from 0 - 100% in about 2 sec, then closes, and never prints. To me the problem seems to be that I can't select what type of printer it is in Printer Setup Utility and therefore there is no driver and I can't print.
Does anyone know what this Dell's associated driver is. I think that Epson makes Dell's printers. Thank you very much.

Lexmark make many of the Dell printers, however following earlier posts on this the Lexmark drivers will not work with Dell printers.
The A920 is similar to the Lexmark X1150 so you could try that driver, but previous experience tells me it probably won't.
As there is no Mac driver for the Dell printer you will need to print to PDF, pass the file onto the PC and print from there.
The Generic Printer option won't work as the A920 is not a postscript printer.

Mighty Mouse does not work right with my macbook why?

I have a macbook 2.2 ghz intel core 2 duo and i am running 1.5.8 When I connect my mighty mouse to my macbook it seems to work fine. But for some reason I can not use the right click and when I try to scroll up and down using my finger in the middle of the mouse it does nothing. But when I connect the mouse to my new Imac it works just fine. Why is this?

Hey Matt,
Have you run Software Update since you got the mouse? The system requirements state:
System Requirements
Mac computer with Bluetooth wireless technology
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0* or Mac OS X v10.6.1 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0
Existing keyboard and mouse for setup
Two AA batteries (included)
http://www.apple.com/magicmouse/
You probably need the Wireless Mouse Software Update in order for the mouse to function properly.

FingerPrint Sensor/Software not working right with Windows XP Pro SP3

Hi All,
I have a 3 month old Satellite Pro S300-S2504 (2.4 GHz CPU, 3 GB RAM, Bluetooth, firewire - was a custom build with most of the options I could get). The O/S installed was/is Vista Business. It came with a dowgrade XP Pro SP3 disc as well.
I bought a second hard drive - swapped it with the original and installed Windows XP Pro on it - having grown tired of Vista. I don't intend to keep both O/S's - but I didn't want to mess with what I had until I got XP working - and that's the reason I got the second hard drive for XP. Anyway, XP Pro is installed and working except the fingerprint sensor. As soon as I booted for the first time - with nothing but the factory everything installed, it prompted me to register fingers for the sensor. I tried but I got a database not found error followed by a sensor not working error. I got the latest updates for the fingerprint sensor, removed what I had - rebooted and installed the newer program - I got the same error. I then uninstalled the program again, went through the registry and removed all entries whose key had TrueSuite in it, rebooted and installed the latest version again - rebooted - and got the same errors. Looking in Device Manager, the sensor is working fine but once I try to register a finger and it fails, I then look in Device Manager and the sensor has a yellow error indicator. I used System Restore to go back to the original configuration and then tried the Fingerprint drivers/patches for Vista and for Windows 7. All of them installed but I got the same database not found error followed by the fingerprint sensor not working error.
I did end the program, then using Task Manager, I ran the Fingerprint utility as administrator - still got the same errors. I've completely reinstalled from the Windows XP restore CD four times trying to solve this and I can't get the fingerprint reader to register fingerprints - I always get that error.
I have a lot of graphic editing (movies) software as well as file conversion programs and a very stable version of Roxio Easy Media Creator that all works fine in Windows XP - but it all has problems running in Vista and I'm tired of the bugs that Vista seems have - and I want to use Windows XP Pro. I will try any suggestions. The fingerprint sensor and software works reliably in Vista. I even updated it and that went fine. I suspect there's a problem with the XP version of the software for my computer. I did notice that Toshiba doesn't sell the this model series with XP downgrade as an option anymore. I wonder if this is one of the reasons.
Anyway - I would very much appreciate help with this. Any ideas at all are welcome.
Thanks,
Dennis

Satellite Pro M10-S405
..a clean Win XP Pro install and it still doesnt work.There is a Win Xp key on the bottom of the laptop, but I cant seem to use it.
The Product Key that comes with the computer is useless to activate a retail installation. You would need to purchase a new one or convice Microsoft that an old one is no longer in use.
In the device manager it shows
Ethernet Controller
Multimedia Audio Controller
Network Controller
Unknown Device needing Drivers. I have searched and downloaded drivers and installed them but it still doest work.
Get the drivers from here.
Install the chipset utility first, followed by the display driver. Be sure to install the common modules prior to any Toshiba utilities, including power management.

Why mice with Nanotransceptor not work right with the macbook pro?

Whenever some program processes the macbook, it happensin a mouse with Nanotransceptor interference. The only way to use mice with this feature is by placing the mouse Nanotransceptor side (left side).

That made me laugh so hard.

11:30 Actually.
I'm not actually sure on this one. I've had a looksy, and both the airport & bluetooth antenae's on a MBP that would even have USB on the right side, are mounted on the left side.
I could only suggest that he try plugging in another USB device, and see if it stops working when using the same applications.
Or, perhaps the USB dongle does not have ESD protection(Wild uneducated guess).
2 Questions: Is the OP left handed? What model is the MBP?

IDVD not working right with Snow Leopard...a possible fix

I was having the following issue with iDVD and my new fresh install on a new hard drive of snow leopard 10.6.4:
iDVD would open to the screen where you chose what you want to do
I would click create a new project and get to name it
Nothing would happen but I knew the program was still running. I could see it in the activity monitor
I would go to quit iDVD and it would ask me to save changes and the beach ball would start spinning and I would have to force quit from the dock
Then I found this post after looking litterally all day for a fix....these instructions worked for me and my iDVD is now working normally...
(1) Go this folder:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Framew orks/
(2) There should be 3 aliases there:
ImageIO.framework
ImageKit.framework
QuartzComposer.framework
(3) In my case, the QuartzComposer.framework was actually a folder. I removed this and created a new alias to
/System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/QuartzComposer .framework
After making the new alias, iDVD now works just fine. Not sure why this frameworks folder had become damaged like this. I am hoping that there are no negative effects on any of my other applications, but I've kept a backup of the original folder just in case.
I moed the quartzcomposer folder to 2 levels back and made an alias and put it in the A/frameworks folder and viola...iDVD worked for me! I am a happy mac user now

Thanks, had exactly the same problem.
Switched to administrator
$ su adminusername
Navigated to the folder
$ cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Frame works
Listed the contents of the folder
$ ls -le@
Renamed the folder QuartzComposer.framework
$ sudo mv QuartzComposer.framework/ QuartzComposer.framework.old/
Replaced with a symbolic link to the correct framework
$ sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/QuartzCompose r.framework /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Frame works
iDVD works!!!

SmartView 11.1.1.3.01 does not work right with Windows 7 64 bit

We have a user running Windows 7 64 bit and Smartview 11.1.1.3.01 that is having a host of issues
1. After initial install SV works as expected
2. If He either shuts his computer down or closes excel and reopens smartview he is not able to save data, nor when doing adhoc query analysis is he able to manually enter dimensions into the cells and click refresh. For example, He will open the connection and ad-hoc query analysis. Drag over the year dimension, enter FY12 in the cell, click refresh and FY12 disappears, he can manually choose it out of the tree and it will stay.
All Windows XP users do not experience this issue
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanx
mike

Which version of MS Office are they using?
Did you confirm the plugin was installed using the run as administrator windows command - as there have been issues when not using this caused problems too.
Can you try using the later version plugin: 11.1.1.3.500. Be careful though that you don't hit the following:
Issue: After upgrading from Smart View v11.1.1.3 to Smart View v11.1.1.3.500, the connection screen box is blank in Excel 2007 on Windows 64-bit systems.
Cause: The registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hyperion Solutions\HyperionSmartView was not updated during the upgrade and contained incorrect information.
Solution
In the registry editor, delete the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hyperion Solutions\HyperionSmartView and run the Smart View v11.1.1.3.500 install.
Note: By deleting this key, you will lose stored information for: Connections, Login, Options, Preferences. These will need to be recreated.
Cheers, Iain

Load balance not working right with jdbc connection string?

For months we've used the following connection string to get Tomcat to open connections to our Oracle 10g RAC:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST
= db1vip) (PORT = 1521)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = db2vip)
(PORT = 1521)) (LOAD_BALANCE = yes) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl) (PREFER_LEAST_LOADED_NODE_ORCL = OFF) ) )
Today, db2 became inaccessible during prime time, and the web app completely hung--when you tried to type in a username and password to log into the site, it would just hang indefinitely, and the Tomcat log files were complaining about being unable to open a connection to the database because of a network adapter error.
I would have expected the JDBC driver Tomcat was using to just switch to the other database server, but none of our Tomcat machines did that, and I'm wondering why (they all just hung trying to connect to db2). Our guess is that the difference this time is not that Oracle was down on db2, but that db2 was down entirely. Maybe that connection string works only if the server is up when the database is down, and not when the server is unreachable (we couldn't SSH to the box, and when we tried to get to it locally using a remote access card, a lot of options were grayed out and we couldn't see a shell, so all we could do was reset the box).

Epson printer not working after maverick 10.9.5 update

I recently updated my 2011 Macbook Pro with the OSX 10.9.5 software. Since then I have had a lot of trouble printing on my EPSON NX430 small in one wireless printer. I have tried deleting the printer from the printer list as well as removing the EPSON software, and re-downloading the EPSON print driver package from the apple website again. When I go to add the printer, in the print list, it seems to see it, but can't automatically find the print driver (I have to manually assign it.) When added the printer appears to be on "idle" and when I try to print the job seems to be sent though (the printer returns to idle) but nothing prints! I'm at my wits end with this - it is so annoying, and I've spent way too much time trying to troubleshoot. I do NOT recommend updating to Maverick!

Try some generic maintenance (we're trying to avoid reinstalling OS X):
Restart into Safe Mode, which does some system repairs. When it's finished, restart normally.
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Next, Reset the Printing System:
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Now, add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.
(PS - even if this doesn't fix it, it eliminates many possible glitches for troubleshooting. The things you've done just scratched the surface.)
BTW - you didn't need to download the Epson package. The new Apple driver paradigm is that the driver is automagically installed when you add the printer in Print & Scan prefs. And if that doesn't work, you have other issues with OS X.

IPod touch 5th generation not working right since 8.3 software update.

I am having problems with my iPod 5th generation. Ever since I downloaded the new 8.3 software update when i plug it into my usb in my car my radio is reading my iPod and indexing my car radio will start playing for 23 seconds than it freezes my radio and stays at indexing and when I look at my iPod it's still playing even though the car radio is frozen at the first song it started on. I have no problems with my 4th generation one I plug it into my car and it works fine through my radio it reads that iPod and indexes it and starts playing and stays playing.

There's a couple of things you will want to look at:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of Remote
2. Check your firewall settings on your Mac (in System Preferences > Security) and set it to accept all connections.
3. Remote uses two ports through your router firewall that you may have to enable. See this article for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1741

Verizon iphone 6 is not working inside with ios 8.3 update

Can't make or receive phone call on my IPhone 6 after iOS8.3 upgrade mostly indoor.
No reception at work after installing iOS8.3, while it was perfect with the previous version with my Verizon IPhone 6. Wi-Fi connection is dropping all the time. Call quality is poor or none available inside the building. This is really frustrating. Apple please fix this dumb phone with iOS8.3 update while it was smart phone with the previous version of the iOS8.1 and 8.2.
Someone or Apple Support! Please help.

Have you checked with Verizon? Have you checked for a Verizon carrier update (go to Settings/General/About, and if there is one it will be installed).

I have set up my airprint wifi printer which works perfectly with the HP eprint app. However, when i view an email and click on the top right arrow button and select "PRINT" on my ipad nothing happens????...

I have set up my airprint wifi printer which works perfectly with the HP eprint app. However, when i view an email and click on the top right arrow button and select "PRINT" on my ipad nothing happens????...
Also, when im viewing websites and i find something i wish to print, same again, if i simply click on the print option at the top right of the screen nothing happens... the only way I can print is if i copy the weblink of the site page then click on my HP eprint app and paste the web link, then select print, it prints off fine.. but its it such a pain to keep copying and pasting links or screen dumping emails just to print...

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

HP computer will not work properly with an HP printer

I have the following two items that I am trying to use together:
- HP 23" TouchSmart Desktop, T6500 2.1GHz 4GB DDR3, 500GB HDD (Windows 7)
- HP OfficeJet 6500 Multi-Function Printer/Scanner/Fax
When I try to scan to Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0, the document goes through the scanner, however the dialog box that I would expect (e.g. "Next Page" or "Done") never shows up. At this point, the system is unresponsive with respect to Adobe or the printer.
I suspect that it is waiting for the input from the dialog box that never showed up. I tried to move the other windows to see if the dialog opened in the background, however I am not able to select any of them (they remain frozen).
I contacted HP Support, only to have them tell me it must be the driver, and I have an "old" printer. (I did not realize that a 9 month old printer was considered "old"). I have tried all of the possible drivers that are available (original disk, downloads, other downloads from HP tech support), none of these resolves the problem.
In any case, they were unable to resolve the problem of having an HP computer work properly with an HP printer. (The printing function seems to work, just very slowly).
Has anyone else heard of this? Is there a resolution?

Update: I am still looking for a solution to this problem - the scanning portion of the Multi-function OfficeJet 6500 does not work properly with the HP TouchSmart computer.
I have not been able to find anyone in HP that can tell me when (or if) new drivers will be released for this printer.
I decided to investigate upgrading to a newer version of printer since HP told me the 9 month old printer I have was "obsolete", only to find that the identical printer is still on sale in many stores. Hmmm....
I feel like I am getting the run-around from HP.
I have since tried several more driver/software combinations, but every time I have the same problem (as described in the previous post).
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would be most happy to hear them.
Thank you.
