Dell Printers with OSX and Apple iBook G4

I recently made the switch from a desktop Dell to an Apple notebook. I have not been able to configure my printer with my new Mac. When I try to setup the printer, there is a huge list of possible printer manufacturers, but no Dell. Are Dell printers compatible with OSX? If so, how do I install it?
My dell printer model: A920
Thanks for the help.
-Mac rookie

The A920 is made for Dell by Lexmark.
It is virtually identical to the X1150.
The relevant Lexmark X1150 driver (from information posted on these forums) does not work with the A920.

I am fed up with Spring and Apple passing me off to one another and neither will fix the problem. I am unable to receive a connection on my phone.

I am fed up with Spring and Apple passing me off to one another and neither will fix the problem. I am unable to receive a connection on my phone.
The internet goes out and I have to reset network setting each and every time. This is only a temporary solution which by the time I release the line with Spring or leave the apple store the issue is back. Sprint indicates that it is a know issue with the Iphone 5 and apple says it is a network issue as Sprint's network is not up to par with the Iphone and can not meet the expectations on the Iphone 5.
I have attached a few picture, as you can see it clearly says I have 5 bars and 3g available but I have no connections what so ever.
This issue affects all data and so I can not send or receive picture messages, use apps, or access the internet. The data goes in and out intermittently and it seems the phone chooses what I can and can't do.
For example I can watch Youtube or Vevo videos but I can not access Facebook or Instagram.
Is anyone else having this issue?
I will soon loose my patience....
I have reset my phone three time and have reset network and other setting mutltiple times.

RReset printing system again and the restart in Safe Mode . This will clear some caches,to do this hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup tone until a progress bar appears, after it has fully booted restart normally and add the printer.

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

Can anyone help with icloud and apple accounts getting mixed up on 2 phones?

Basically husband upgraded from 4s to 5c. Gave dad 4s. I tried to set his dad up with icloud and apple id but didn't realise husbands old sim card was in 4s. Now neither phone works and husband very annoyed his apple id and password don't work anymore. Please help!!!

Hi Chris
So husband got new phone. Was all set up and up and running when we left the shop
Gave dad the old phone. It was locked to Vodafone so we had to ask them to unlock. He then got his three sim cut down to fit.
Weeks after husband had his 5c we went to dads to set his 4s up. I upgraded it to latest software iOS something. Anyway didn't realise it was husbands old sim still in phone.
After upgrade it asked me to set up apple account (I think) could have been icloud. Anyway I started setting it up with dads email and password choice. Husband then saw message on his 5c saying his dads email was being added to something on his phone.
At this point I left alone but now when husband tries to use his apple id for apps etc it says invalid user id or password. It's as though the 2 have got mixed up. Bit it won't let him reset his password?
Does this make sense?

I have been suggested to down grade to 10.6.6 due to issues with Adobe and Apple working things out. I have downloaded 10.6.6 but wont let me install. Any ideas?

Yes, simply reinstall from your Snow Leopard installer disc. The reinstall will not erase the hard drive. After reinstalling you can upgrade to 10.6.6 with your updater.

Can the system automatically start up with OSX and later switch to windows after starting up?

I mean, I don't want to choose between OSX or Windows when I start up. I just want to start up with OSX. Is it possible to only start with OSX and later switch to Windows after starting up, or is there any option?

you want to override the default and reboot into Windows next time?
Use BootChamp or Option key.
But when there are Windows updates it will need to be set to boot into Windows.
Sounds like you don't want to run Windows natively.

What usb auto switch is compatible with OSX and Windows for sharing the same printer

I just bought a new iMac for myself to replace my old Dell PC. My husband still has his PC with Windows Vista and our work stations are set up to share the same MFC with a Belkin auto switch. Unfortunately that software is not compatible with my OSX and I am having trouble searching for another auto switch that is compatible with both computer operating systems. Can anyone recommend one to me?

Hmmm, we bought a brand new V300 from Epson and hooked it up it didn't work. We went through all the steps, downloaded all the drivers, and after several days of frustration, it still did not work so we returned it.
Apple hasn't been able to give us technical advice, Epson couldn't help. The only scanners sold locally are the printer/scanner combos.
I was looking at the Fujitso ScanSnap 1500M earlier tonight... am wondering if I can get by with this scanner since most of my scanning nowadays has to do with business documents. It sure would be nice to organize clutter and the text said something about compatible with the "cloud" as well.
I use my iPad all the time to show galleries & collectors the quality of my paintings... type up proposals, etc. Thanks for letting me know about it's compatibility with my iPad, iPhone and Mac.
Thank you for your input, AppleMan1958. you are wonderful.

Partition Map Schemes: HFS+ and FAT32 partitions with OSX and Windows

OK so I know this question has been practically beaten to death, but I keep finding conflicting information. I am using a 2011 MacBook Pro, on which I will set up Windows through Boot Camp. I recently purchased a 750 GB WD external hard drive to use with time machine for a backup on my Mac. However, I also need to be able to use part of this for Windows files. SO.. I intend to use the HFS+ partition for the the Mac (500GB) and create a FAT 32 partition (250GB) to use for backing up windows files (using it for solely computer modeling and need to be able to transfer/share files with Mac users who use Parallels as well as copying to PC desktops). My question is what to use as the partition map scheme. I have heard that when using these two partition types, a Master Boot Record is needed (so Windows can recognize the FAT32 partition) and also that a GUID partition map is required for use with time machine, meaning windows would no longer be able to read the FAT32 partition. Is there a way to reconcile this? Either using Time Machine with HFS+ partition that is set to MBR or uisng FAT32 on Windows with a GUID partition map? Also if I were to use Parallels (with a GUID setup) instead of Boot Camp, could that be the way to save the windows files to the FAT32 Partition and avoid problems with Time Machine not working with MBR? Thanks for any expertise, as I have heard that both setups that I have mentioned both will work and both will not work. Any experience with a similar situation?

Wow. Thanks for the extremely quick responses. Just for a few points of clarification.. I'm a complete newb at backing up strategies.
Steve, you would recommend to not backup files from my Mac OSX and files from Windows (also on my Mac) on the same drive, correct?
I appreciate the strategy of using it only as a backup, that makes quite a bit of sense. However, if I want to only backup my OSX files, and also store (solely as backup copies) say, a number of computer models (Rhino, Revit, etc.) that were created in Windows programs (not needing to store the entire Windows disk), would it not make sense to store these on the same drive in a different partition, creating the need for two different partition formats? And if I were to do this, maybe I should use NTFS instead of FAT32 (and reformat to GUID since that seems to be a standard for Apple and Windows 7 recognizes it..?) to keep them completely separate since the computer model files cannot be opened unless running the Windows programs.
How do you use your drive with HFS+ and NTFS if not for backups? I will not need to access the HFS+ backup files in Windows, nor need to access files from an NTFS partition in OSX, so that seems to simplify things in that, at least at the moment, I will not need any Paragon software.
Currently my drive is partitioned as HFS+ and FAT32 as MBR, with the HFS+ partition set up with Time Machine. It appears to be successful, I see my files in Mac HD -> "users" and all my docs, desktop items, etc. are listed. Seems that there is in fact no limit on TM's use of MBR maps, or else it is way above 160GB.
Third, are you using CarbonCopyClone in place of Time Machine or in addition to it? If in addition would it create the bit-wise clone on the same HFS+ partition as TM is backing up to? Or a separate drive? I'd like to only have one external that I am backing up to for simplicity's sake. I've never used TM before, so this is all new to me. Also, I suppose I have been missing the distinction between storing copies of files, and making a complete backup of a disk image... just now realizing the difference. Thanks so much.

Erased disk - BIG problems with OSX and restoring from TM

Hi,
Please bare with me here - I've been trying to solve this problem across the last 3 days.
I was advised by a friend to do a fresh install of OSX after erasing my current in internal HDD (2009 Macbook Pro 13").
I 1st confirmed that time machine had a complete back-up on my external USB drive
I followed the instructions via the OSX install disk, erased the current drive and then completed the OSX re-install.
When the time came to migrate, I received a screen message stating that my time machine back-up contains a newer version of OSX and therefore could not be migrated.
I allowed the new OSX install to complete and then updated to the latest version of OSX.
I opened migration assistant and followed the instructions to restore my last time machine back-up. This took a while but seemed to work.
I rebooted and was only able to find the clean OSX install - I could not locate the restored files from time machine - not anywhere. However my HDD was now showing a free space of 140Gb (of a total 500) so something had been restored.
I spent many hrs looking and in the end went back to square one - erased HDD and reinstalled OSX.
This is the point I'm at now and I have no idea how to get my time machine back-up restored?????

Please bare with me here
What exactly are we going to bare!
I was advised by a friend to do a fresh install of OSX after erasing my current in internal HDD (2009 Macbook Pro 13").
Assuming you had a very good reason and you guys had tried everything else including an archive and install of course
I rebooted and was only able to find the clean OSX install - I could not locate the restored files from time machine - not anywhere.
Did you check for invisible folders in your users folder i.e "ls -a /Users/" ?
I spent many hrs looking and in the end went back to square one - erased HDD and reinstalled OSX.
Hmmm you could have asked here before square one but regardless check this forum out http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1227&start=0. At the top you will find tips by Pondini which will tell you at the very least how to get your old system back. Also what you did I think probably worked as well and you just didn't check /Users/.name/
edit: you could also go from where you are now and manually bring your stuff over. Might be best option depending on how badly your original system was mucked up to cause you to do a wipe-install.

Refurbished iMac with OSx and the screen jumps/flickers about every 10 - 15 seconds. Suggestions? It often seems fine on start up .

I recently got a refurbed iMac with OSx adn the screen jumps/flicks every 10-15 seconcds. suggestions?

If you purchased it from Apple, you are covered by the warranty - take advantage of it and call them as that appears to be a graphics issue.

Epson print drivers - should there be difference results with OSX and XP

Since switching to a Mac a couple of years ago, the photo print output from my venerable Epson Stylus Photo RX700 seems to have become poor, with a slight greenish hue to the photos and a lack of colour crispness. I swapped the printer back to my even more venerable Dell XP laptop and the photo print quality is definitely better than with the Mac. I have installed all the printer updates as they occur in the App Store after selecting "Software Update". Even though the printer driver is obtained via "Software Update", I understand that it originates from Epson, or does it? BTW, for my model of Epson, the only way to install the print driver is via this route. Should the two drivers (OSX and Windows) result in a different quality of output? The rather large number of posts in this forum regarding Epson drivers does suggest an inherent issue but I am reluctant to buy a new printer as I have a stock of cartridges for my Epson model and they cost a small fortune.

I haven't observed the large number of posts?
I have three Epsons of that era, and the drivers seem to work OK for me.
I suggest, for troubleshooting, you install the alternate drivers "Gutenprint" and re-add the printer. You might find you like it, too, because of all the color control it gives you.

Syncing with OSX and XP?

Hi everyone, having a bit of trouble with our iPhones. My wife and I both have 3G's and have been syncing just fine until I formatted my laptop. I temporarily synced her iPhone on OSX, and now every time I connect her phone to our XP notebook (main computer for syncing) absolutely nothing happens. It doesn't charge, doesn't pop up in iTunes, no hardware configuration, NOTHING.
MY phone works fine, syncs fine, does everything as normal.
Is there an issue with syncing between two different operating systems?
Please help. I've looked everywhere.

Is there an issue with syncing between two different operating systems?
If your wife's phone won't even charge on her computer there may be a problem with the USB port or cable (assuming the computer isn't sleeping). Does it charge when connected to the AC power adaptor? Did you try swapping cables? If it still doesn't work:
1. Hard reset - simultaneously press the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple icon appears (ignore the red slider).
2. Forced restore - with iTunes open, plug in phone, press both buttons as above until the apple appears, release the sleep/wake button and continue pressing the home button until iTunes sees the phone in restore mode. Follow the prompts to restore,
3. If still no go - take it to an Apple store Genius bar.
The issue with synching to OS X with an iPhone (or iPod) originally synched to Windows (or visa versa) is that the device's memory has to be reformatted to the different OS to be accessible to iTunes. iTunes will detect the different formatting and warn you about the change before proceeding.

Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX and Windows 7. I need it for my MacBook Pro 13", 2012, running Mountain Lion

Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX Mountain Lion and Windows 7. I need it for my MacBook Pro 13”, 2012, running Mountain Lion & Windows 7 Ultimate - BootCamp. I’ve heard that the Buffalo MiniStation Encryption does not work with OSX, is that true..? I'd like it to work with both operating systems, using the built in hardware encryption. Thanks
