Have never been able to print

I have never been able to print through Bonjour to a shared printer connected to a 10.4 machine. Whenever I try, the print system crashes and the printer needs to be restarted, and then I must restart the queue on the server. The only way to actually print is to move the file to the server and print from there. It even crashes if I open the folder AFP and try to print while the file is open from the remote machine.
Is this normal? It worked perfectly under 10.4 and is totally broken under 10.5.

Definitely not normal. It would help to know the printer model.
Have you tried any of the other protocols to print from Mac to Mac? IP > LPD or IPP, Samba (Windows Printing), for troubleshooting?

My 6100 printer has never been able to print color

From Day 1 it has told me the blue (cyan) cartridge is empty, even when I replaced the starter cartridge with a new one, and it always says that the other colors are "low." I have been printing only black and white words on a page, in fast draft mode, but the one time I tried to print color it failed -- a yellow headline came out white, no color at all. It always says cyan is empty. Now it won't print black and white at all. Am I supposed to spend $50+ on all new cartridges every time I need to print something?
Also, is there some cellophane tape I need to remove inside the printer? I can see a cellophance coating on the cartridge carriage inside the printer, but there is nothing in the instructions that says to remove it.
The inability to print color seems a defect to me. Can I make a return? I bought it two weeks ago.

Hi CMBoston,
I understand you have not been able to print anything in color, and that you see a piece of cellophane tape inside. I would like to help you with this.
Please use the following document to troubleshoot the quality issue you are experiencing; Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
The cellophane tape inside the printer should only be removed if the setup guide instructed you to; otherwise, it is part of the inner mechanics.
I am not sure of the return policy where you bought the printer so I can not answer whether or not you can return the printer, but I can tell you that HP printers have a 1 year manufacture warranty. If you are still experiencing issues after following the steps in the document, call HP. The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
I hope this information resolves your inquiry.

I have never been able to use the Macmail feature. Running OSX 10.4.11, and the problems appear to be related to the fact that when I originally registered my computer with apple, I used an old e-mail address which is now defunct. Have since upgraded the e-mail address in account manger, but it still locks me out and rejects my user name and password when I try to log in. It seems it established an account for me automatically when I first fired the beast up, but now the Macmail program is uncooperative with me. Any assistance would be much appreciated, Thanks

Hi rbcjoker76, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Sounds like some needed System Fonts wre replaced by bad ones. Y also have Font Book in Applications for validating fonts & checking for duplicates.
Required Fonts from 10.3, much the same in 10.4...

You may have to get Pacifist...

then intall the Fonts what you need from your Install Disk.
Or do a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Cannot and have never been able to connect to a testing server

Hello
I am using Dreamweaver and am trying to set up a testing site using IIS. I can’t get it set up. It says I don’t have administrative privileges. I am the administrator. This is a home computer and I am the only user of the computer. I am just a novice.
I posted my problem in an Adobe forum. I was told to enter a command in the administrator command because I am not an administrator (this made me scratch my head???). The following is what I was told to enter:
icacls %systemdrive%\inetpub /grant %userdomain%\%username%:(OI)(CI)(F) /grant %userdomain%\%username%:F
it does not work and says there is no command for” icasis” I am not sure what I need to enter, however. For system drive I put “C”. For user name I put the name of my computer. For user name I put my user name.
This is what I ended up with and this is what I put in the administrators command prompt:
icacls %C%\inetpub /grant %Joe-II%\%jtb%:(OI)(CI)(F) /grant %Joe-II%\%jtb%:F
I am sure this is wrong.
In addition, in properties of inetpub wwwroot it says I have read and write for both administrator and iis_iusrs privilages (I set it up following a DW tutorial).
So why can’t I set up testing server on iis? This problem has gone on for years. I have newer versions of Adobe and operating systems and I have never been able to set up a testing server. By the way, this is windows 8 professional.
Any help would be much appreciated. I would even pay someone to solve my problem but don’t know where I would go to do this.

<< Response was:
Hello,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues.
From the information you have provided, it would appear that your issue is based somewhere in the user account permissions configuration on your PC.
I recommend taking the following steps to ensure your user account has administrative permissions:
Open your "Start" menu and right click on "Computer" (or "My Computer" depending on your version of Windows).
Select "Manage".
In the new window titled "Computer Management", select "Local Users and Groups" under "System Tools".
Select the folder labeled "Users" and find your user account in the right panel.
Right click on your user name and select "properties".
Select the "Member of" tab and verify that you see "Administrators."
If not, you can select "Add" and then type "Administrators" in the field labeled "Enter the object names to select".
Please update us with the results once you've followed these instructions and we can troubleshoot based on that further information.
Be sure to let us know of any error messages or pop up windows you encounter.

My response:
My response: I did what you asked and I am listed as an Administrator or do see Administrators there. Thank you for your response. Hopefully you can trouble shoot from what I have replied.
Again, this has been going on for so long. I would even bee willing to pay to have this problem cleared up. Again, thanks.

Perhaps one of the hits returned on a google search "setting up iis server" will help: https://www.google.com/search?q=setting+up+iis+server&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozil la:en-US:official&client=firefox-a.
I sympathize, as I had a lot of trouble trying to set up a localhost server on a Win8 computer. Experienced many false starts. Finally got it working to the extent I could actually work on a WP site locally, but the set up is still weird in that when I uploaded all the new files to make them live, nothing updated. Ended up making all the changes again to the live site.

I have never been able to use Firefox to view my OWA until I added the IE-Tab Add-on. Was this a known limitation for Firefox?

I have never been able to use Firefox to view my OWA (Outlook Web Access). It always prompts for creds that it doesn't accept anyway. Until I added the IE-Tab Add-on, was this a known limitation for Firefox?

Hi prime_anthony and thank you for asking. I do not think this is a Firefox limitation because I have been accessing my OWA too via Firefox on a Linux machine. I can login using my domain account and password without any problem and without using IE-Tab add-on.
It probably depends on the version of the Outlook Web Access or the Exchange Server. Newer versions of these already have Firefox supported.

hi can anyone help please ? i have had apple products now for apron 7 years BUT have never been able to make the bluetooth work , not even when 2 products i.e. : phone and iPod are in the same room. So i stopped trying but would like to set it up between my iMac and iphone / ipad but can't get it to work, they say discoverable but just will not connect to one another. I also tried the connection code and tried without one ... NO JOY ... Is this common or am i a twit ?

You can't connect an iPhone or iPad to a Mac via Bluetooth, except for Internet tethering.
You're not doing anything wrong - it just isn't a feature of iOS devices.
What were you hoping a Bluetooth connection would allow you to do?

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

[CS3] I have never been able to get this right: Batch/Droplet and output file naming??????

Hi,
The situation:
I need to convert a folder of PDF's to PNG format.
My process:
I create an action by recording my "actions" based on one of the said PDF's.
Problem:
When batching and/or processing via a droplet (created from action I created from above), the output file name is ALWAYS the EXACT name of the file I used when I created my action!!! Why? I have tried everything... Why is it so hard for Photoshop to batch a file and use the file name of the current file being batched (and not the name of the original file that the action was created from)???
Please help!
I feel like such a dunce... I am sure the answer is staring me right in the face.
Many thanks in advance!!!
Cheers,
Micky

Hi Conrad!
Thanks for the help, I greatly appreciate your time. :)
Sorry for my delayed reply.
I never touched the file name for the save as dialog box.
I have use PS for many years, and I have never been able to get the file name to stay the same as the file being processed. :(
My boss even, he is a beta tester of future versions of Adobe products, and he could not get it to work...
It only worked for me/us when appending a digit to the end of the file name. Not an optimal solution, but it works. ;)
@Foot, I am glad this thread was helpful! :D
Have a great day all!
Cheers,
Micky

My trial is about to end and I have never been able to use this.

My trial subscription is about to end and I have never been able to use it.
I had the Adobe for$19.99 a year but when it changed to $19.99 a month I could not afford it.
I am a pro bono attorney mostly representing battered women and juveniles at risk.
Occasionally, I really need to turn a PDF into a Word document.
So far, it hasn't worked this time.
Thank you.

Hi Suzi,
I would recommend you to use the Export PDF service instead (The Most Reliable Tool to Convert PDF to Word or Excel | Adobe ExportPDF) available at a price of US $1.99/mo Billed annually at US $ 23.88/year.

2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug

I have never been able to backup my iPhones to the iCloud, why?

I had an iPhone 4 and now have an iPhone 4s updated to the latest iOS. To date I have never been able to back it up my iPhones to the iCloud. I have been thru all the iPads and now have the newest iPad and have never had problems backing that device up to the iCloud. They both share the same content, music, apps etc. My iPhone will get halfway and just stops saying it couldn't complete the back up, but gives no reason why...very frustrating especially for the high regards I have for the dependability of Apple products. Guess I can't post pics, so here are the details..It gets to 1 minute remaining then stops. The message says " last back up could not be completed".. Last back up "never". On the next screen it shows my iPhone and iPads combined storage of 2.2GB. My iCloud space say 2.7GB available of 5.0 on iCloud. Any ideas?

What do you mean by this? Did you restore the phone from an iCloud backup? Did you configure your iCloud account on the replacement phone? Was the original backed up or synced to iCloud to begin with?

I have CS5 design premium student and teacher edition, have never been able to receive any updates. And cannot find cetain features like Content Aware, Adobe Watermarks etc...Is there any way I can add these and other features

I have never been able to receive any updates. And cannot find cetain features like Content Aware, Adobe Watermarks etc...Is there any way I can add these and other features unavailable to me? Or do I have to upgrade the version I have? If so, how much would that be?

The only "content aware" feature in CS5 is the fill, so you are not missing anything with the updates because nothing more is there. And I honestly don't know what you mean by "Adobe watermarks" there is no such thing, but there is a series of scripts for such stuff.

Make sure you have the right system requirements before you start to update the iOS, you will need:
Apple ID (required for some features)
Internet access
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
