How can i get my imac to recognize the mx870 scanner

I originally was using the Canon MX870 via Bonjour to print and scan. Last night, imac would not recognize the scanner. After I deleted the device and tried to reinstall, the system preferences are not giving me an option as having a scanner.

i was able to speak to an apple customer service personnel and was advised to use the MP Navigator to print and scan. It worked.

How can I get my IMac to recognise the scanner part of the HP printer/scanner? It prints!

How can I get my iMac to recognise the scanner part of the HP printer/scanner? It prints!@

I had a similar problem right after the first update to 10.6.7, which happened to quite a few people. It took a couple of software updates and then an HP printer update to fix it. So make sure that all your software updates are up to date. Mine is an older printer: C6280 All-in-one but scans fine now that my mac recoginises it. You might want to check on the HP site also.
It was really frustrating because it had worked fine before.

How can I get my iMac to be the primary screen again?

Hi everyone!!
A couple days ago I was watching a movie on my tv, which is my ''external monitor" for my iMac. I used VLC and it was full screen on my tv, I never had any problems with it. After the movie ended, I couldn't get my iMac screen to work. I restarted, and it flashes a white screen and it does make the apple startup sound. Also everything seems to be working just fine. When I hook it up to my TV, I can use my tv as the ''main monitor" but my iMacs screen remains black. (I have it in mirroring mode now) When I restart by pressing the on and off switch, I do get a flash of my current screen, but it fades to black quite soon after. Even if I wake my iMac up, it shows me the log in screen for about half a secodn and also fades to black. So it's not the screen itself that has any issues.
I think I accidentally clicked something in the display settings, but I have no idea how I can get my iMacs screen to work again. Does anybody know how to get my iMac back to functioning as a primary monitor? When I unplug the thunderbolt cable, it doesn't switch back either.
I already tried dragging the apple top bar from one screen to another, but it doesn't work. When I reset the PRAM, it does restart, but right after I hear the second chime the screen still remains black and it boots like it did before, still no functioning iMac screen.
Thanks in advance!

The screen is all black, so it's not the backlight. It's weird because when I get the computer off of sleep mode, it shows the log in screen really quickly. So my LCD isn't broken either. It just switches back to the wrong resolution I guess. Which makes the screen black again.

How can i get my extravert to recognize the pictures saved on my memory card so that they post in the "my pictures" feature?

I just upgraded from my lg env 3 to the lg extravert. I had a picture memory card in the lg env 3. I took it out and put it in the extravert but when i go to my pictures the pictures saved on my memory card do not appear on the extravert phone in my pictures. A verizon rep told me the format is different and I have to put the memory card pictures on my computer and reformat them and then put them back on the memory card so that the extravert will recognize them?? I have no clue how to do this - can anyone help me out here?

Hi, cjcm-
I can help get those pictures from the EnV to the Extravert! Most SD cards come with an SD card reader, which is a larger card to insert into your computer. If your does not, you can easily keep the card in your EnV and plug the phone into your computers USB port with a USB cable. Find the steps here: http://bit.ly/LVoMYP. A window should pop up on the computer screen that shows the files on the card, then you can simply highlight and drag them to a folder in the computer using the mouse. Once the pictures are on the computer, disconnect the phone and insert the card into the new device. With the card in, you'll format that card (steps here:http://bit.ly/LWqUBa).
After its formatted, you can plug the Extravert into the computer and follow the same steps to enable the USB Mass Storage and drag the pictures back to the card! Then you'll be all done and can disconnect the phone and see your pictures!
Keep me posted if you have more questions!

I lost my connection with my AirPort Base Station when I upgraded to the OS Maverick. How can I get my system to recognize the base station again?

I lost my connection with my AirPort Base Station when I upgraded to the OS Maverick. I can still see the Internet, but the Time Machine cannot backup now because it cannot locate the AirPort base station. How can I resolve this issue?
Steps already taken with zero success:
1. Restarted the AirPort Base Station multiple times.
2. Restarted the Mac Pro multiple times.
3. Looked online for AirPort update for 6.3.2 version.
Other Apple products in my house can still see the AirPort Base Station, however my Mac Pro and Mac Book Pro cannot.
Please advise.

That information helps. If you want to use one of the SmartStor's disks as a repository for sharing your iTunes Library, then do not configure that disk as a RAID. Format it with Disk Utility using the Erase tab. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) is the correct choice.
Connect it to your Time Capsule, then use AirPort Utility to configure access requirements for sharing it on your network. It should appear as a shared volume in the Finder, available to all your Macs as you thought it should.
I also thought maybe the extra HD space would be added to the existing Airport Disk. It isn't.
Correct. There is no way to do that. The only way to increase the capacity of a Time Capsule's hard disk is to replace the Time Capsule (or its disk, if you are amenable to disassembling it) with a larger capacity model.
If you also want to use the SmartStor as a RAID, that is another story, and you should probably attack that problem separately.

How can I get my computer to recognize the canon eos digital rebel

I have not used this camera for more than 2 years. I now have a laptop with windows 7. This computer will not recognize this camera when I plug it in to usb to download pictures. I have tried everything except what is going to work.

Do you happen to have the original discs? Or, was EOS utility previously installed on that computer? If not, you need to do a bit of shinanigans to get around Canon's protection (which I still don't understand, either you own a Canon, or the software is no use to you). It's not hard, but you have to rewrite a registry file to make the software think it was previously loaded on your computer.
Go here (providing you're in the US) to download EOS utility:
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer
It's an "updater". So again, you need to have had a previous version on your computer or it won't install. Once it installs all you do is plug in your camera and turn it on and a window pops up offering a couple different options like File Transfer or Tethered Shooting.

How can i get my computer to recognize the recovery partition

Computer says that there is no accessable data in the partitian. Or it cannot find it.
So not able to restore any of the original function to my laptop

Hi,
If you created your set of Recovery Discs ( or a Recovery USB drive ), use this to reinstall the operating system as the process will also re-create the Recovery Partition.
If you haven't created your Recovery Discs/Media, you can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.
Order HP Recovery Discs.
If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

Hi. I'm trying to change my Apple ID. I know how to in iTunes under my account on my laptop but how do I get my iPhone to recognize the change? Thanks!

Hi how can I get my iPhone to recognize the changing of my Apple ID in iTunes (my account) on my laptop?
Thanks in advance for your input!

It sounds like you created a new Apple ID rather than changing the email address of your current Apple ID. Apps are tied to the account that they were initially installed with. So the only solution is to delete the app and re-purchase it with the new Apple ID.

What version of iTunes are you running on your computer? You need to update to the current version.

Hi
My Powerbook was the same. Only fix is to reinstall OSX from the install CD but be sure not to pick the Format and install clean. Once you boot with the install CD pick the preserve user data and settings.
On My machine the reinstall looked perfect. My network, email, files and all the programmes were all there. Most apps worked fine but Adobe CS2, Virtual PC and NetBarrier all needed reinastallation as they reported a few files or registration was missing. I went for the 10.4.3 upgrade again and it worked fine.
Good luck

How can I get Log Express to recognize my external keyboard? - NEWBIE

I'm using a Lexicon Lambda phantom powered converter (I think that's what it's called) to run my Left and Right 1/4" cables to, from my Kurweil master out. Then the USB cable from the Lexicon out, to the Mac. How do I get Logic Express to recognize the Kurzweil so I can record the Kurzweil's on-board sounds rather than using it as a Midi controller?
Very new to Logic and all of this-any help is appreciated in layman's terms.

OK - got logic to recognize the Kurzweil keyboard on a new track, I can hear the on-board Kurzweil piano sounds, but Logic is not recording it. what gives?
