Driver for Photosmart c309a with Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite)

I'm planning on upgrading to Yosemite, Macs OS 10.10 but don't know if my Mavericks driver will work or if I need to download a new one.  If I need to download, can someone tell me where to find it? I'm completely lost in the drivers section. So many links and so confusing.  Thanks, Michele

  • DVD/Lightscribe drive for new (late 2010 Mac Pro?

    Does anyone know a source for an internal DVD w/ Lightscribe drive for a late 2010 Mac Pro? I want to install it in the second drive bay. I got one from OWC, but the depth of the DVD drawer was about twice that of the original drive that came with the Mac Pro. It would have been able to fit through the drop cover on the front of the Pro, but would not clear the internal rack components. It fit in the rack nicely with the 4 screws lining up properly, but would then not open more than about an eighth of an inch before hitting the internal rack frame, causing it to close. Thanks.

    Bummer! The instructions included with the drive did not mention thi. When I called OWC customer service she said that sometimes you had to remove the bezel from the Mac. I told her the Pro had no bezel. She said that the drive info did not specifically say it would fit a 2010 Pro a d gave me a RMA.'nmh bad for not questioning further. Thanks.

  • Can I use my late 2006 mac mini as an external drive for my late 2012 mac mini?

    I have a (late 2006) Mac mini that I would like to use as an external drive for my (late 2012) Mac mini.  Is this possible and can anyone suggest what cables would be needed.  I am aware that the ports are very different i.e firewire and thunderbolt.  Thanks in advance!

    - You can boo the old Mac in Targe Disk Mode and connect the two via FireWire (FW) You will need a FW 400 to FW 800 cable or a FW 800 or FW 400 cable and appropriate adopters
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode - Apple Support
    - Use the old Mac normally and setup Disk Sharing and access the old Mac via the network. The old Mac's disk will show up  under Devices on the new Mac. One you set up the old Mac yo do not need mouse or keyboard or monitor. You can also setup Screen sharing and actually use the old Mac from the new Mac.
    - Remove the HD from the old Mac and place it in an external USB enclosure of dock and connect it to the new Mac

    Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 driver for MacBook Pro with retina display

    I see a mention of Google Chrome and VirtualBox in your log. Stop using those and see if the situation changes? From what we know so far, the problem is a software one (Apple's fault), not a hardware problem. Mountain Lion is supposed to fix the issue, which should be out in about a week. So you could wait til then, upgrade to ML, and see if its still crashing or not.

    is Photoshop 6.0 compatible with Mac OS Mavericks or Yosemite and if yes, how do I install?

    Well, probably not what you wanted to hear, but if you come across an older Mac, you should be able to use your old copy.
    These are the old system requirements.  You want CS6 or better for today's Intel/OSX Macs.
    • PowerPC® processor
    • Mac OS software version 8.5, 8.6,or 9.0
    • 64 MB of RAM* (with Virtual Memory on)

    And thanks for reporting back, at least I know what happened even if it didn't fix things.

  • Problem printing from excel on HP photosmart C309a with windows 7 x64

    Hi,
    I have the following problem when printing certain sheets from excel or even print previewing them it comes up with an error stating it cannot print due to error with my hp photosmart c309a maybe due to lack of memory, too many open applications etc.
    however this doesnt effect other sheets made from same template, if i copy the data to a new sheet i can print it. however this error has effected old spreadsheets and newly created ones, only seems to effect excel and only on some sheets. On the sheets that wont print, if I change default printer to another it will preview and print but not to my c309a, this therefore must be some error with the driver for windows 7 as it worked fine before on my xp system with same spreadsheets. I have downloaded latest drivers with no luck, what else can I try, when will this error be fixed with a new updated driver?
    Thanks

    My HP 309C printer won't print Excel documents it says it is short on memory and to close other programs.

  • Print Driver for Photosmart 7550

    My can i not get an updated driver for my Photosmart 7550 i have a MAC. I have had this priner for years and love the quality of the photos that is prints. my can HP not make just a photo printer anymore???? i have since bought the HP photosmart 7520 and the print quality is crap.  please help

    Welcome to the HP Community @ericabomberger 
    I read through your post about the concerns you're having with your Photosmart 7550 and 7520, and I am here to address them for you.
    There areno available drivers for the PS 7550 on Yosemite, as the printer model is older, and Yosemite is quite new.
    Your best bet would be to troubleshoot the Print Quality Issues on your PS 7520, as this model is compatible with 10.10. I would suggest trying all of the steps from this guide to help improve the Print Quality problems:

    If you find that the troubleshooting does not help the PQ, call HP directly to see what your printer options are. You may need a replacement part or printer and technical support can help you in that category.

  • Win7 64-bit driver for Photosmart 7550

    I have Windows 7 64-bit. I need a driver for my HP Photosmart 7550 printer. The Deskjet 5550 alternative driver will not work.
    Short of dumping the printer, what can I do? Is there a driver to be released soon?
    Joe 

    Gee, I hate to say "You've got to be kidding me" but ... (I have a bad attitude over the following)
    HP dropped the 7550 when they went to Vista, I see no way that all of a sudden they will support 7 on this.
    Now I'm going to see if they do the same to the photosmart premium C309a, see my other thread.
    I still have my 7550, it is a terrific photo printer, however without access to the SW, memory card slots, etc. there was no reason to have it on my vista system without full functionality, and HP dropped the ball on it at a time when it was one of the best out there. It was not an outdated model by any means when Vista was released either. Hp seems to have a method where they move on and make you go out and get a new model to go with the new OS, if this becomes the case witht he C309a, I'll be done with their line of printers, both at my home and office.
    I hate saying that. I've lived with the bloatware, the patches, and patiently waited for SW that goes with what I think is good hardware (at least I havent had major HW issues, I had an older DJ560 that was serviced in Corvalis, great job) but lately I believe they wish to rest on their history and public name perception. When my fairly new released printer is not supported (and basic functionality of an AIO is for all functions, not just printing) with an OS that was in RC when it came out, then it may be time to make a move.
    We'll see after the 22nd.

  • Migrating music to an external hard drive for access by Windows & Mac

    Hey folks
    I recently migrated my collection of music to an external hard drive by:
    1) changing the iTunes music folder location from the default (Music/iTunes/iTunes Music) to my external hard drive through iTunes Preferences.
    2) Selecting "Consolidate library" from the Advanced drop-down menu.
    Afterwards, I moved my library file to the same parent directory I put my iTunes music folder in on the external (in fact, I moved my entire iTunes folder excl the music folder which was obviously already on the hard drive). When I restarted iTunes I held down OPTION and then chose the library file on my external as the iTunes library file to be used. This was all done on a Mac.
    No problems - all swell. But... I moved the library file to the external because I want to be able to use the external with multiple computers from which I can import music that will automatically be copied to the same folder (the music folder on my external) and managed accordingly. When I tried to open the library from my Windows laptop at home nothing happened. The library file I copied from my Mac had no extension, so I renamed it .itl so the Windows version of iTunes would pick it up, but selecting it as the new library did nothing.
    Q1: Are iTunes library files (I assume always .itl's?) interchangeable between Mac and Windows? If not this might explain why the library didn't load up.
    Q2: Is my method wrong? Is there a different procedure for getting multiple copies of iTunes on different computers and operating systems to all use the same library, saved on an external hard drive, which itself references music from the same external hard drive? Is this goal even possible?
    Q3: Is it possible to have 2 or more libraries for a given installation of iTunes?
    Bonus Q4: How is the album artwork saved? When I consolidated my music on the external, did this move the artwork across with it (integrated with each music file?) or was it still sitting on my Mac hard drive in the Album Artwork directory? I have since moved this folder to my external as well, when I moved the entire directory including library file across, and album artwork is visible when the library is open on my Mac, but I don't know whether its getting the images from the hard drive or the external hard drive.
    Okay last one - I swear! Q5: When I couldn't get the laptop version of Itunes to open my Mac library file, I imported all my music into the default laptop library which references the music files still all located on the external. Considering the 130GB of music I'm dealing with, this took a while, but what took even longer was "Processing album artwork", which dragged on for ages. What is actually happening during this procedure - is iTunes accessing an online database to find the artwork, or is it working with the artwork already processed and saved in the album on the external?
    Thanks very much in advance! Sorry for all the questions but I'd like to crack this thing once and for all.

    The procedure for sharing a library between a Mac and Wintel PC on an external drive is quite simple. I did this myself so that I would have my music available to me when I worked in my lab.
    First before you transfer anything to your external hard drive, the music library on your Mac should already be consolidated. Once that is done, transfer the iTunes folder (./Music/iTunes) to the external drive. Unless your music files are in a folder outside the iTunes folder—for instance, my music files are on a separate, larger volume on my Mac from the iTunes folder that is on the boot volume—copying your iTunes folder will put everything that iTunes needs onto the external drive.
    Now you have two options for using your library on two machines. The first, which I prefer, is to leave your Mac’s iTunes library in place and use the external strictly for the Wintel PC. In this instance, you would need to add the .itl extension to the iTunes Library database file. When you attach your external to the Wintel PC at work and choose the library, your should be taken into iTunes with your music library intact.
    In this instance, your external drive can also serve as a backup of your iTunes library because it is highly improbable that both your external drive and Mac Pro’s iTunes folders will go bad simultaneously. For backup purposes, you will need to place another copy of your iTunes Library database file on the external drive, without the extension, for your Mac; I have had issues with Macs recognizing .itl files. Of note, the content of your library on the external drive will be the same if you need to recover from the external drive, but as the Wintel PC will not update the database file without the .itl extension, any settings you change or playlists you add in Windows will not be transferred to the Mac unless you recover the Mac’s library from the iTunes Music Library.xml file that the PC would have kept current.
    In the second instance, if you wish to run your library off of the external drive for both your Mac and Wintel PC, you would follow the same procedure described above, but you would need to have both an iTunes Library (Mac) and iTunes Library.itl (Windows) database files. Effectively, this would mean that once a change is made on either system, it will not be reflected on the other. As you are most likely to add new songs via your home computer, you will need to replace the .itl file with a copy of the Mac database file whenever you add music, playlists, etc.
    Given the storage capacity of my Power Mac G5 and the logistics involved in managing a library stored solely on an external volume going between a Mac and PC, I find the second option to be more trouble than it is worth. For me, it is easier to maintain my Mac’s iTunes library then copy the iTunes folder over to the external drive overnight when I wish to make any updates (e.g., new content, playlists, etc.) available to my work computer. In the morning, I just add the .itl extension to database file before disconnecting the external drive and taking it to work.
    Now that your first two questions are answered, yes you can have more than one library, but doing so is poor database management. You should have all of your content in a single database and use iTunes to separate content. iTunes already separates music, movies, podcasts, audiobooks, etc., but further division of content is up to the user. iTunes has had playlists and folders for a few versions now, so it is quite easy to organize your library’s content in as simple or complex a folder/playlist structure as you please.
    How album artwork is saved depends on how you acquired your music. Music you purchase from the iTunes Store has its artwork placed into a separate artwork database built in the Album Artwork folder in your iTunes folder. I believe that the same occurs if you allow iTunes to find and import album covers. If you rip CDs or acquire music from other sources, you manually add the artwork, in which case the images are stored in the music files.
    Lastly, when iTunes has to build a library it can take a while. Your library is twice as large as mine and on a slow(er) laptop drive the time to built a library will be excessive. Unless iTunes is crashing or freezing, let it runs its course until the library build is completed. Also, if you have copied your music files to your laptop’s internal hard drive, you should not leave iTunes referencing the external drive. In the worst case, you would want to copy your iTunes folder from the external to the laptop’s internal drive’s default iTunes folder location. Remove the iTunes Library file and allow iTunes on your laptop to rebuild the library from the XML file.

  • Can I use one external hard drive for 3 of my Macs?

    I have a 2007 white MacBook, a 2011 MacBook Pro, and a 2013 MacBook Air.
    I want to be able to transfer all of my precious family photos off of my MacBook and Macbook Pro onto an external hard drive and then wipe those computers clean, and then I want to be able to backup and wipe clean my Macbook Air so that I can update it to Mavericks.
    Can I use one external hard drive to do this for three of my Macs? Will it be compatible with all of them? And will I still be able to use the hard drive with my Air once it is updated to Mavericks?
    Which hard drive do you recommend?

    1. Yes. Note that anything you want to keep should be on at least two drives in case one of them fails.
    2. Yes.
    3. Yes.

  • HT201250 Can I share an external hard drive for Time Machine with my PC?

    I am using a PC with an external hard drive. I have a new MacBook and would like to back up the files on the external hard drive as well. Time Machine set-up notified me that if I continued my external hard drive would be wiped clean. Is there a way to save the files from my PC and add Time Machine?

    Use the DIsk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to repartition the drive. The new partition needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    If you want to back up the contents of that drive and not use that drive for holding backups, you need to use another backup method, such as drag-copying files or cloning.

  • How to format flash drive to be compatible with Mac and PC

    Hey guys, I was stupid and formatted my 8G flash drive to a different format by accident. Not FAT32 which it was originally. It originally worked find with my Mac and PC. I can't get it back now. I went into Disk Utility and the only way I can format it back is to MS-DOS(FAT) and all the other Apple formats. When I erase it to MS-DOS(FAT) and plug it into my PC it comes up and wants to format it to a 200MB FAT32 patition?? How can I solve this? Thanks

    Hi,
    FAT32 (called MS-DOS in OSX Disk Utility) is the file system to use for compatibility with Mac and PC.
    The "200MB partition" message you get also indicates that you changed the partition scheme on the flash drive to GPT (GUID Partition Table).
    Use Disk Utility to verify this and if needed change the partition scheme back to MBR (Master Boot Record).
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Want to partition a new External Hard drive for both pc and mac

    Hello!
    I am going to partition a new Seagate external hard drive for both my pc and mac.  What format do I choose for the PC partition?  MS-DOS (FAT), ExFAT, or Free Space.
    Thank you!
    Nikki

    If I may suggest:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. After formatting has completed select the main entry for the new drive (mfgr.'s ID) then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Click on the large partition rectangle then click on the Add [+] button. The partition should divide into two equal volumes. Resize as you prefer. Select the second or bottom volume to use on the PC. Set the format type to ExFat, then click on the Apply button. Wait for the two volumes to finish mounting on the Desktop.
