  • How can I make my Mac Book Pro print to a Panasonic KX-MB772?

    How can I make my Mac Book Pro OSX 6.8 talk to a Panasonic KX-MB772 printer?

    You can't. The KX-MB722 is one of the few remaining printers in the class of devices called "Windows Printers" that has no on-board printing software -- it relies on a host computer to provide all of the software functionality and Panasonic only provides such software for certain versions of Microsoft Windows. In this case, it means a 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows (2000-XP, though it will probably reliably on Windows versions up to 7). Note that these devices are not guaranteed compatible with future versions of Windows either (Panasonic has already dropped software support for this model).
    I'm pretty sure that the device doesn't support remote printing without the software either (e.g., you can't setup a computer with Windows on it, share the printer, and then print to the shared printer without their software).

  • How can i get mynew mac mini to use the drive in my old mac pro

    When I first got my new mac mini it dosen't have an internal drive.   So I hooked it up on the network and fire wire.  I could use the superdrive in the mac pro just fine  both itunes and the dvd player worked as they would with a internal drive.   But now a couple of upgrade down loads later not so much.  yes I can connect with screen share and can get the dvd player to play dvd's but still can't get itunes to use the superdrive.  Iht exect disk icon in the apple menue bar use to open and close the super drive but now it reads "no disk" How can I get my mac mini to automaticly use the superdrive when i turn on the mac pro. 
    I've done all the easy things changing the order of start up and share settings and i sware it did work ok when i first hooked it up.

    Mind you, booting off the external optical drive of another computer may not be practical because of the different operating system limitations of the computers.   I would just purchase an external optical drive from http://www.macsales.com/ if you find it doesn't work.

  • How can I fix my mac mini g4 1.5ghz which gets the must reboot message?  what is the reason?

    Based on your description, you are having a kernel panic.
    Can you post some of your crash logs? Might be a clue. See Mac OS X: How to log a kernel panic http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2546
    Understanding crash logs isn’t easy and it’s hard (sometimes impossible) to decipher the cause of the problem. Take a look at Apple’s Crash Reporter document at http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2004/tn2123.html Also look at Tutorial: An introduction to reading Mac OS X crash reports
    http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060309075929717
    Kernel panics are usually caused by a hardware problem – frequently RAM, a USB device or a Firewire device. What external devices do you have connected? When trying to troubleshoot problems, disconnect all external devices except your monitor, keyboard and mouse. Do you experience the same problems?
    To eliminate RAM being the problem, Look at this link: Testing RAM @ http://guides.macrumors.com/Testing_RAM Then download & use Memtest & Ramber.
    Do you have an Apple Hardware Test disc (the AHT is on the Install/Restore DVD that came with your Mac)? Running the Apple Hardware Test in Loop Mode is an excellent troubleshooting step for finding intermittent hardware problems. It is especially useful when troubleshooting intermittent kernel panics. If Loop Mode is supported by the version of the Apple Hardware Test you are using, you run the Extended Test in Loop Mode by pressing Control-L before starting the test. Looping On should appear in the right window. Then click the Extended Test button.The test will run continuously until a problem is found. If a problem is found, the test will cease to loop, indicating the problem it found. If the test fails, be sure to write down the exact message associated with the failure.In some cases, RAM problems did not show up until nearly 40 loops, so give it a good run.
    May be a solution on one of these links.

    AND M.TEST_NO IS NOT NULL AND M.TEST_NO = T.TEST_NO AND M.REG_NO = R.REG_NO)
    How can I make the above query faster.
    Query condition or indexing whatever is preferable please guide me.
    The approximate data of tables
    DC_MODALITYAPPOINTMENT 2,000,000
    A lot of updating is going on some columns of this table.all columns are not in the select list, Insertion is happend in batch process by back-end trigger of another table.
    Primary key based one column,
    OP_REGISTRATION 500,000
    Daily insertion on this table around 500 records,updation is not much.
    Primary key based one column 'reg_no'
    DC_TESTMST
    Total records of this table not more than 1500.This is setup table. Insertion and updation is not much on this table also
    I have to create a view based on this query .
    and I have to create another view to serve another purpose.
    In the 2nd view I need this query as well as I need another query by using union all operator based on a table(dc_oldresult)
    which have 1,600,000 records.There is no DML on this table
    SELECT      NVL((SELECT USER_DEFINE_TEST_NO FROM DC_TESTMST WHERE TEST_NO = SV_ID AND ROWNUM = 1 ),SV_ID) USER_D_EXAM_NO,
    (SELECT TEST_TYPE FROM DC_TESTMST WHERE TEST_NO = SV_ID AND ROWNUM = 1 ) EXAM_TYPE,
         NVL((SELECT TEST_NAME FROM DC_TESTMST WHERE TEST_NO = SV_ID AND ROWNUM = 1),'Exam Code: '||sv_id) EXAM_NAME,
         (SELECT PAT_NAME FROM OP_REGISTRATION WHERE REG_NO = HN) PATIENT_NAME,
         (SELECT PAT_AGE FROM OP_REGISTRATION WHERE REG_NO = HN) PATIENT_AGE,
         (SELECT PAT_SEX FROM OP_REGISTRATION WHERE REG_NO = HN) PATIENT_GENDER
    FROM DC_OLDRESULT
    WHERE HN IS NOT NULL AND SV_ID IS NOT NULL AND UPPER(ACTIVE) = 'TRUE'
    Should I make join DC_OLDRESULT, OP_REGISTRATION and DC_TESTMST? or The eixisting subquery is better?
    I use OP_REGISTRATION and DC_TESTMST in both query
    Thanks in advance

  • How can I control a mac mini connected to a benchmark dac 2 for the purpose of listening to 24/192 audio files?

    How can I control a mac mini connected by USB to a Benchmark DAC 2 for the purpose of listening to 24/192 music downloads?

    Hello,
    About the dac 1, but may apply to the dac 2 as well in some ways...
    Here are more details:
    1) The current version of iTunes (7.5) for OSX is very broken. Some older versions work properly, but 7.5 introduces truncation and DSP artifacts that can measure as high as –80dBFS. These levels are easily audible. There is no system configuration that will permit transparent playback from 44.1kHz sources with iTunes 7.5. Curiously, the only format that works properly in 7.5 is 24-bit/96kHz. This iTunes problem has nothing to do with USB communications, as the results are the same when using the built-in optical port on our PowerBooks. As a workaround, we suggest using the free VLC for Mac player. VLC works perfectly with all formats (provided OSX is set to match the sample rate of the files being played). We highly recommend the VLC player for OSX users, and strongly advise against using iTunes. We will attempt to identify which versions of iTunes work and which ones don't. But beware, iTunes updates itself without user intervention. One of our test computers "upgraded" itself to the dysfunctional iTunes 7.5.
    2) OSX still does not have the ability to follow sample-rate changes. We consider this a nuisance for most users and a show-stopper for users who want to play a mixed list of 44.1kHz and 96kHz material. An OSX sample-rate mismatch will invoke the very-poor-quality sample-rate conversion that is built into OSX. The iTunes 7.5 bug seems to be locking on this sample-rate conversion at all sample rates other than 96kHz. Until this is fixed, OSX is not the operating system of choice for audio playback.

  • How can I make may Mac faster?

    Whomever can help please advise.
    1. Is there a way to defrag a Mac
    2. Will Parallels 4 cause the the Mac to crash?
    3. I need to make the Mac run faster, anything you can advise would be great.
    Thanks,
    JCR

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    +1. Is there a way to defrag a Mac+
    You shouldn't need to but if you must create a second Bootable volume and install Drive Genius on it then Boot from that volume and run the software, one of it's options is a full defragmentation.
    +2. Will Parallels 4 cause the the Mac to crash?+
    Parallels 5 is much better and faster than 4, neither will crash your Mac
    +3. I need to make the Mac run faster, anything you can advise would be great.+
    Upgrade the RAM and add as much as you can afford, most newer models will take 8GB

    How can I make my iPad 1 run faster

    As the result of months of web surfing and testing, I could narrow down the issue at is causing performance on all our original iPads! One would say to turn all the iCloud features off, but I have found that there are major performance bugs in contacts and calendars! Turn them off in the iCloud part if the settings. This, alone with disabling spotlight search results in no keyboard lag and no "checkerboard effect" in safari whe pages won't load fast enough! I hope this helps everyone as it did to me!
