HOW CAN I USE MY PHOTOSMART 8450 WITH MY MAC LION OS 10.7.5?

HI. I have got this lovely machine out of storage.  Guess its about 7 yrs old ( my other canon printer black ink wont work) and I cannot find a driver for the operating system on my macbook. The disc wont work and there are no drivers via HP nor Apple.    It is not supported any longer and I have had to give up trying to find it.  I have an old mac and once I find the cable for it perhaps its older OS will work with it.  But then any work I move onto this old mac with my thumbdrive will be on either MS word , word text or adobe pdfs and jpegs that were created on my new mac and might not open with older word adobe etc on the old mac!  I have not tried it yet.  Do I buy a cheap £7 round pin cable and give it a go or sell this lovely old printer on gumtree?!  I have about 8 ink cartridges for it that I could use or sell too!  Advice welcome.  In the meantime I have a cheap printer head in the mail for my Canon and hope that works too!!  Hate waste and just had to dump various older home office machines that would not sell!!  Thanks

    do I need to create another account with a different email account
    Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.

  • How can I use my Apple ID with 2 Apple devices?

    I just got an ipad mini and I registered it with the same Apple ID I use for my iphone 4s. Everything was fine until I downloaded apps to the ipad and noticed that the ones I had on both devices  no longer opened on my iphone. Why is this? How can I use my Apple ID with 2 Apple devices and how can I recover my apps on my iphone?

    I've had an iPad for almost two years. When I purchased an iPhone last fall I set it up to use the same Apple ID as my iPhone. I've had no problems doing this. Try resetting each device and see what happens.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    how can i use my apple ID with the itune store over my windows laptop

    If you don't have iTunes installed on your laptop then you can download and install it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can then log into your account on it via the Store > Sign In menu option (on iTunes 11 on a PC you can get the menus to show via control-B) :
    And you can then select the Store on the left-hand sidebar (you can enable the sidebar via control-S), and then browse items in the store and buy them by clickin on their price.

    Look at the more like this. On the right column next to the post.
    Load airport utility for windows.. which will also load bonjour for windows.
    In windows explorer type \\TCname or \\TCipaddress (replacing with the actual values.. names with spaces will give you trouble so change all names in the TC to SMB compatible or actual ip address).

  • I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

    Unfortnately you cannot. Thunderbolt is an onboard chip that will require an updated Mac Pro. It is not a graphics card upgrade, but a full logicboard upgrade.
    Apple has not updated the Mac Pro in 580 days - as of this post. Hopefully one is right around the corner...but I've been hoping for that for over a year.

  • How can I use find a phone with my family members but they each have there own email

    How can I use find a phone with my family's iphone when they already have email addresses?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't use find my phone from your phone if your other family members use another iCloud account.
    You have two options depending on why you want to find the phones.
    Use find my phone at iCloud.com on a mac/PC and log in using their account.
    Use the find my friends app

  • How do I use my gigaware webcam with my mac?

    How do I use my gigaware webcam with my mac? I just bought this webcam on amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IJE0ISS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF 8&psc=1 and I want to use it with my mac. Is there an adapter or any software to make it compatible? Thanks.

    Your amazon link states, in part, that this webcam is:
    Compatible with Microsoft Windows 7,Vista, XP, 2000
    Use a Mac OS X Compatible Webcam like one of those shown in the linked article instead.
    For best compatibility and security, also update your OS X Mavericks (10.9.2) to the current OS X version by restarting Mac and then downloading and installing OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
