Delete the Printer and re-add it. If the drivers are out-of-date, it may ask to download new ones in the process.

How to share a Rendezvous printer with Snow Leopard

I have an old iBook running Panther and a new MacBook running Snow Leopard. I was finally able to share my old LaserWriter to the MacBook via my hubby's laptop running Tiger. Any way to get Snow Leopard to see the Shared Printer via Panther and Rendezvous. I using the line command in the support article below, and it saw the printer...seems to be connecting, but the job never prints. It even says: Print file accepted - job ID 946. But nothing prints. Any advice?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2275

Nevermind...nevermind. It did work. I think the job just had to sit in the queue for a minute. I wasn't waiting long enough. Finally!
To anyone else attempting this...using that line command in Terminal will do the trick!

How can I get wireless printing with my ipad?

Best way is to use an AirPrint compatible printer:

If your printer is not AirPrint compatible, you might want to take a look at Printopia.

How can I hook a printer to my iPad?

How can I hook a printer to my iPad?

You can't connect a printer to the iPad via a cable. If you have one of the printers that support AirPrint then you can use that - the models and how how to use it are on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
Otherwise you could see if your printer manufacturer has its own app in the iTunes app store, or there are third-party apps such as PrintCentral and Print n Share which might let you print to it - you could do a search on here to see if anybody has the same model as you and whether they mention a particular app.

Why won't Lexmark T430 printer with Snow Leopard?

Lexmark T430 will not printer with Snow Leopard. Error Message: “The printer software was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the printer’s software or contact the manufacturer for assistance.”
The printer is connected via Ethernet from an iMac; I have an airport wireless network. Oddly, I can print wirelessly from my MacBook Pro, but not from my desktop iMac. Both computers were upgraded to Snow Leopard at the same time, but only the iMac refuses to print.
Tried:
-Reset printing system
-Downloaded Lexmark drivers and reinstalled them
-Connected printer directly to iMac instead of through the Ethernet switch
-Repaired disk permissions
When ‘adding printer’ the Lexmark is recognized and configured, but it only results in the same tired error message.
Suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi,
A follow up on my previous report.
I installed 10.6 on an external USB drive and booted my iMac from there. Result: was able to print successfully to the T430, both via Ethernet and via USB cables. Previously, I also tried to print from the iMac (booted from the internal drive) via USB and that failed; although, as I said, I was able to print to a Canon printer. I conclude that there must be some conflict between the Lexmark drivers and something on my internal iMac hard drive.

How can i get xcode for osx snow leopard?

how can i get xcode for osx snow leopard?

I'm an experienced software developer (C, C++, Lisp, Linux, Unix, etc) but have never done any Mac development, and wanted to try some stuff on my iMac at home, but I have Snow Leopard and most of the turtorials I looked at said the first thing I had to do was download XCode and the first thing that happened when I tried to do that was it said I had to upgrade to Lion.
My iMac is running SnowLeopard. I don't have any big reason to stay at SnowLeopard, but from stuff I've seen in the forums I can't see any big reason to upgrade to Lion. I might eventually want to do development for IOS on an iphone or iPad, but for now I just want to do a simple tutorial app for my iMac.
I found the downloads search page, and it looks like there's two versions of Xcode 3.2.7 which has a release date of Sep 2011, and 3.2 with a release date of Jan 2012.
Which one should I download? And if I download one of these will it be a problem if I do upgrade to Lion in a few months?

How can I tell where the OS (Snow Leopard) is? I'm not sure if it is on the SSD or the regular HD.

How can I tell where the OS (Snow Leopard) is? I’m not sure if it is on the SSD or the regular HD. I just had a rough weekend trying to back things up with Time Machine and I think the OS was copied to the regular HD, or could be in two places? How do I find where the OS is? If it is on the regular drive I want to put it on the SSD.
Thank you very much!

Some recent systems don't observe that convention - not sure at the moment about Snow Leopard but I have a feeling it doesn't.
Copy the following into the AppleScript Editor (in Applications/Utilities)
set dsk to the path to startup disk as string
display dialog dsk
click the 'run' button.

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

I need to check a few other things...
Click on 'Mail' in the upper left corner next to the Apple ()
Click Preferences
Click the 'Accounts' tab
Make sure your iCloud account is highlighted in the column on the left.
In the account information section what does it say next to:
Incoming Mail Server?
Outgoing Mail Server?
Also, did you use MobileMe before the iCloud?

When trying to burn a playlist to a blank CD, iTunes 10.3.1 won't recognize the blank CD I've inserted (Verbatim CD-R). I've burned using these CDs before, this is a recent problem. Not the burner, as I can burn using Toast. iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8

What kind of CD are you burning (Audio or MP3)?
If you're burning an MP3 CD, the songs must already
be in mp3 format.
If not, iTunes will tell you that you have no songs
in the playlist.
M
I was making an audio cd. But I have since found out what the problem was. The files in my PLAYLIST I converted to aiff, since they were SDll files (I thought they were similar to AIFF, and they PLAY on Itunes...just won't burn.) When I selected the songs in the playlist and converted them...I thought all those files were converted, They were not. The converted files went into my LIBRARY, even tho I selected the ones in the playlist...and once I exchanged the SDll versions of the songs in my playlist. THEN they burned fine...but still...it's confusing..you say convert..it says it's been converted..and what they don't say is it's not been converted inside the playlist...where I had selected the songs...It just ADDED aiff versions..but only in the library...Anyway, that's what happened. But it's strange that it PLAYS SDll but won't burn them....and you'd think, logically..the ones you selected would change...but they don't. Playlists are mainly pointers to the actual files I guess...a sort of Alias..
At least it works now. But it's sad that the latest itunes does more, but also does LESS...as I used to be able to burn SDll files. Now I'll have to convert all my files to AIFF, and mp3's as I assume my ipod video won't play anything but mp3's?

You'll be given the option to change the target after the download is complete and before the actual installation begins. The process is otherwise the same as normal.

How can I upgrade from OS X Snow Leopard to OS X Lion?

How can I upgrade from OS X Snow Leopard to OS X Lion?

Well Mt Lion is the latest, but if your machine can't do 10.8, then call Apple via phone and order 10.7
However you really need to do your homework first, as a lot of software and drivers could stop in 10.7, no Rosetta like in 10.6, could cost you plenty.
Things to consider before upgrading OS X

HP Laserjet 4mp won't print with Snow Leopard

My great Laserjet 4mp prints just fine with OS 10.5.8 but not with Snow Leopard (10.6.2) on my new iMac. Have spent three plus hours with senior level Mac Techs to no avail. The printer screen shows the correct printer and driver and indicating valid connection, but when attempting to print I get the message "Unable to print, try again in 30 secs". Since 10.6 doesn't have Appletalk, am unable to use it; techs have tried to use the 4mp driver supplied with Snow Leopard and also downloaded it separately from the web site. We (they) have also tried using all methods (IP, Daemon, and HP Jet Direct using Ethernet and Serial to USB connections). Techs have talked with HP techs and have no other solutions. The security system is off. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

I've read the threads and don't understand some, but I think we (the Apple support techs and I) have tried the ones I recognize. One new idea--in a reply to a similar post someone mentioned being sure to use additional data when using the IP address-- submask address or some such, I
haven't been told to do this--should I? (I can get it from the printer readout if told what to get.) Also, in another post someone suggested deleting the OS 10.5.8 driver that was transferred when all the data from my old iMac G5 was moved over, saying that it would interfere. If true, how do I do that?
What I really need is a stepwise instruction on which connection to use (Ethernet, Serial to USB, or parallel port are the only options); which protocol to use (IPP, Line Printer Daemon, or HP Jet Direct socket, whatever they are); what to put in the Address line (the IP address is the one used by Apple techs); what to put in the Queue line (techs said to leave it blank); what to put in Name and Location blocks, if anything; and what to put in the Print Using line (techs have unsuccessfully tried Autoselect, Generic, and the HP4mp driver selected both from the Select Printer Driver option and from the driver downloaded directly from the HP web site).
I'd be grateful for this help or even advice on where I can get it! (With this new computer I still have free telelphonic Apple tech support but they've given up.) Thanks!

How to make Canon printers work with Snow Leopard

Can anyone explain simple language (I'm not technical which is why I chose Apple) how I can get my Canon MP 980 printer/scanner to work with Snow Leopard.
Everything used to work perfectly and I'm beginning to regret the upgrade to Snow Leopard (what other suprises are waiting for me when I'm in a hurry?).
I have other Canon printers in various locations (MP 600, MP 530 and iP90). Will I have similar problems with all of them and, if so, is there a simple way to resolve the issues across the board?
I checked the Canon web-site but was totally confused
Any help truly appreciated.

According to Apples website; they should work. Please see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#canon
The driver version should be: 10.26.1.0 (or greater)
The above article was modified in December 15th 2009
If after installing the most-up-to-date driver, via the link provided, the issue persists, reset the printing system.
How-to reset the printing system:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/14001.html
Then install the printing driver supplied by Canon on Apples website here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/CanonPrinter_Drivers_for_Mac_OS_X_v106
If that still does not work, reset the printing system again. Now go to Canon's website and get the driver(s) for mac there.
Canon's website for driver download for the PIXMA MP980:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDet ailTabAct&fcategoryid=334&modelid=17357
There is the possibility the drivers on canon's website could be newer than apples. The version numbers, size of file to download, and release date all appear to be quite different.

+I do not own the same printer+, however I would suggest installing some of or all of the following 3 drivers.
If your printing via USB:
MP980 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.26.2.0 (Mac OS X 10.5/10.6)
If your printing via a Networked Printer:
MP980 series MP Driver Ver.1.0 for Network (Mac OS X 10.6)
If your going to use the scanner:
MP980 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.8.2 (Mac OS X 10.3/10.4/10.5/10.6)
If you scroll down further, past the 'drivers', that same website from Canon also includes step-by-step guides/manuals for setting up the printer/scanner, both via USB & WiFi.
If the steps above did not resolve the issue, please respond back.
Good Luck!
