Epson R300 not working on MacBook Pro

Hello again.
I am experiencing a problem using my Epson R300 Ink Jet printer, it refuses to load glossy or heavy paper and when I print on thin paper it becomes extremely green.
When I use the same printer on my old iMac (the round one with the screen on an adjustable arm) it works with no problems.
I've opened Printer Setup Utility and removed the printer, then re-installed the latest driver for Intel macs... doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestions?
Thank you so much!
J
edit: Forgot to mention I'm running OS 10.4.5 because I've had problems with freezes and non-startup after updating to 10.4.6...

D8,
What you could do is just access the documents you wish to print off the Macbook using the "Connect to Server" option in finder under "Go".
But otherwise I don't know what to tell you. It could be an issue with the computer itself. Try using different USB ports, there could be an interruption in the port your using. Or if it's Firewire, use another Firewire port.
Otherwise I can't go much further than that.
Hope I was helpful!
Note: If you are going to connect to the Macbook from the iMac, you'll need to make sure sharing is enabled for the Macbook, and you'll need to know the IP address.

Thunderbolt display not working on Macbook Pro - previously the display did work

Thunderbolt display not working on Macbook Pro - previously the display did work

I have upgraded ML but when the MBP tries to restart with the upgrade the MBP does not restart so I susapect the ML upgrade is not complete ? When you refer to 10.8.5 supplemental is this a separate upgrade ? When I connect the Thunderbolt to the MBP the Thunderbolt charges my MBP & I can play music from iTunes via the Thunderbolt. It is only the display that is not working on the Thunderbolt

Generally signing out and signing in (signing out and back into the Creative Cloud application ) will fix this. If it isn't resolving the issue for you, let us know what you see and we can try something else.

AOL mail will not work on MacBook Pro, but works on iMac

My wife has attempted to check her aol mail account online, through Safari, and every message that she opens appears as "garbage." I recently installed Snow Leopard on both of our computers. AOL mail works on my iMac, but not her Macbook Pro. Honestly, among other issues, I'm a little disappointed with Snow Leopard. Leopard was released without problems for either of us.

Did you ever find out what the problem is???

External Display not working with MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011)

I just bought the current MacBook Pro 13" (i7 processor). My external display (Benq 20"W, 1600x1050) always says "No Signal Detected!". I've tried it with a DVI-Adapter (Griffin Video Display Converter) and with a VGA-Adapter (LMP Mini DisplayPort-VGA-Adapter). With lower resolution I once got a picture (but with weird lines). On my old MacBook (white, 2.16 Ghz) there was never a problem with this display (also OS X 10.6.6). Who can help?

Check this post if you want more info:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2774718
The gist is that DVI is currently very iffy through Thunderbolt. Mini display -> mini display OR mini display -> HDMI should work fine. It's most likely not your adapter itself but the fact that it's DVI.
If you can, get a mini display -> HDMI adapter and try that (assuming your external has HDMI).
I should hear back tomorrow or Monday from apple engineers with more specific info about this issue and I will update then.
BTW- DVI anywhere in the chain will make things fail. Mini Display -> DVI and a DVI/HDMI cable won't work with any reliability (I've tested it on three completely different monitors).

External superdrive is not working on macbook pro 15 inch(2011 model) with mountain lion

Hi,
I try to install windows in my macbook pro via bootcamp, but since I installed latest osx mountain lion on it, the external superdrive doesn't work anymore( even if on the startup mode, hardware can't detect it). superdrive works on my 2009-2010 mac mini server. help!

The USB SuperDrive only works on Macs without SuperDrive, so it's not compatible with your Mac. You have to use your internal SuperDrive to install Windows

TS4323 Bluetooth not working on macbook pro 10.7.5

Hi Everyone,
Can u help me fixing my Bluetooth on my macbook pro 10.7.5
it was not working including my camera and the keyboard backlights..
Thanks

Your PRAM battery may be on its way out. After 4 years that starts to happen, and that can cause all sorts of peripheral failures even before the clock is affected. Bring it in for service.

External Monitor Not Working With Macbook Pro

My computer was working fine with an external monitor, then my computer froze, and I had to hold down the power button. When I turned it back on, my computer would not work with an external monitor. I've tried different cables, so it's not the cable. The monitor is being detected by the computer, but nothing is showen on the external monitor. When connecting the monitor to the computer, the computer's screen goes blue, then turns back to normal. I
I cannot reset the SMC by removing the battery, I do not have the confidence to remove my battery, and do not have the time to send the computer to someone else to do it.
I also tried updating my OS from 10.7.4 (Might've been 10.7.3) to 10.7.5.
My computer is a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010), running OS X 10.7.5 Lion.
I need to get this problem fixed ASAP, any help is appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Sergee237

I forgot to mention, I'm connecting the monitor via MiniDisplay -> HDMI. I've also tried USB -> HDMI and USB -> DVI -> HDMI but none of them seem to work.

Thunderbolt 2 external hard drive not working with Macbook Pro (early 2011)

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and I hope you guys can help me with this:
I've recently bought an external hard drive that works on Thunderbolt 2 (LaCie d2 3TB). When I connect the new drive to my Macbook Pro through the thunderbolt port, the drive isn't recognized. However, the drive works fine through a USB connection.
I thought that Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 are compatible, however this doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe it's because the OS X / driver / firmware version that I'm working on that is not updated? I work on an early 2011 Macbook Pro: OS X Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
Thank you very much for your help!
Daniel

Hi danielsh6,
I recently bought the new Lacie Thunderbolt 2 D2 3TB and I had the same problem as you, i have a macbook pro early 2011, those support thunderbolt but many times there is a bug that doesn't let you connect any thunderbolt drives to your computer. The solution I found was installing this update:
Thunderbolt Firmware Update v1.0
Before doing this I would recommend you updating to mountain lion (not yosemite yet as there is still some glitches and more on preview's macbook pro's).
Hope this helped!

External isight not working with Macbook Pro early 2008

My external isight is not working with my Macbook Pro early 2008 (2.4 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 6 GB RAM, OSX Lion). It goes warm when plugged into the firewire port but is not recognized in system prefs (lists as "unknown device" and also does not turn on (green light. I tried resetting PRAM and all the other stuff as suggested here but no luck. It used to work fine on a 1st generation Macbook and I remember that one of the first times I tried it with this machine here it turned on for a few secs (green light) but then it just simply stopped.
Unfortunately, I have no other firewire device to check the port.
Any ideas, dear community?

Our (old) external Firewire iSights can be sensitive to dust, shock, vibration, humidity, and other environmental factors in storage. (I store my spare in its original plastic shipping case with a new desiccant pack on a solid shelf - never in a desk drawer or other container that moves.)
You have tried several good things and may be finding that your old iSight needs work.
Here are the alternatives I can offer. Consider any you have not tried in any order you like:
(1) You can try Apple's suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
Test in more than one user account and with more than one Apple softwre application.
(2) My expanded suggestions here: http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
(3) Reset Firewire ports using the info from this old archived Apple article: http://web.archive.org/web/20090331211534/http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1317
(4) If you have no local Apple Authorized service Provider who can help you, other service options are here: http://www.apple.com/support/isight/service/
(5) Consider a new USB cam with current warranty such as one of these: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/

Audio not working on macbook pro

Hi,
I have a 2007 Macbook pro. I have changed battery for this laptop twice in the past 5 years. As everyone else, I experience overheating issues. Otherwise, it has been working fine.
Today, I started using the itunes store to browse tv shows, books, and music. Suddenly I heard a big rattling noise (really loud) in my mac and it was coming from the top left side (probably the fan!). I quit the applications and shut down my laptop. When I restarted the mac, I could not listen to any songs neither from my mac nor from the internet, say youtube. No audio of any sort is working in my mac right now, not even the alert sounds.
- I checked the system preferences and could not change any output controls.
- After sometime, Ive also started noticing the red light in the headphone jack. But, this red light comes on intermittently. I tried putting my headphones in and out 3-5 times, it still did not solve the issue. The light may go off, but there is still no audio from my mac.
- Everytime I restart my mac, I hear the rattling sound. I checked my hardware, repaired the disk (using the Mac OSX disk), reset SMC, PRMV settings. None of these helped.
Im worried that my fan has gone bad and this in turn has also affected my internal audio system for some reason? I would appreciate any troubleshooting tips in this regard!
Thank you!

Well, for the red light issue, cut the end off a Q tip, or clean cut a Wooden tootooth pick(NO PAPAER CLIPS OR ANY OTHER CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL) and GENTLY "massage the headphone jack,(there is a micro switch that can hang, stop at the LEAST amount of resistance). Reboot see if that helps.
Also go to system preferences>sound>output tab and make sure the mute box is not checked, set the volume slider is at least half way up, and make sure built in speakers are selected.
If this does not solve your issue, go to utilities>Audio/MIDI set up, click putput tab, and make sure source is set to built in speakers, when selected double click on the built in speakers log out and reboot.
If you have been using Garageband, launch GB and go to GB preferences>Audio/MIDI, and select from the output tab intrenal speakers.
Here's what worked for me. It's not a workaround, this acutally solved the problem and I haven't had speaker issues since.
Go to "Activity Monitor" (you can hold "Command" "Shift" and press "U" if you're on the desktop).
Locate "coreaudiod" under "All Processes"
Right click it and click on "Quit"
After several seconds, "coreaudiod" will restart on it's own and your speakers will return to normal.
I tested this by restarting to see if it was a fluke workaround. Then I turned it off and waited a day (I had things to do so the waiting a day was easy lol). Turned it on, it was fine. I put it on sleep mode, waited 10 mins. and took it off of sleep mode. It was fine. Everything went back to normal for me.
Rattling sound is a concern for me as ths not normal, I would back up eveything, as this could br a HDD on the way out, and you want to save your data.
Also, you can try a a Pram reset:
If you have a removable battery, power doen your MBP, disconnected the power adapter, remone the battery, hold the power button down for 10 seconds, reinstall battery and mag safe and booy up.
If you have a MBP that has a non removable battery, follow the folling instructios.
Power off MBP, power it back on, holding the following keys: option, command,P,R, (no commas), press these key immediatly before the start up chime ringd, continue you to hold therse keys till you hear the start up chime ring ring 2 timess amd release.
Reboot
Since you had the battery replaced, you might want to try an SMC reset if non of the above offers any help. Power down MBP, power back up, hold the following keys before the star up chime. Left key shift,control, option, contine to hold these keys till the gear stops spinning.
Rebot.
All the best, I hoe this helps.
Let me know if this worked for you
