How do I make my HP CM2320fxi compatible after upgrading to maverick?

I am unable to access my scanner, and when printing, the result is sketchy. The printer jams and/or misprints the document, but the technician reports this does not happen in his workshop... only when I use my imac, so clearly there is incompatibility as it worked fine on Snow leopard.
Is there any way that this upgrade can be made compatible with the hp multifunction printer CM2320?
Surely Apple could ensure that their upgrades ship with the necessary drivers, or at least warn their customers ?

I can sympathize with your frustration, but it's not Mavericks that needs to be made compatible with your printer, it's the other way around. It's not Apple's responsibility to write drivers for HP printers. It's HP's responsibility to write drivers for their own hardware.
The Mavericks beta was out for about six months before the commercial release, which was plenty of time for HP to get their act together and write a driver for your printer. But they didn't. This is called "churning the market" or "planned obsolescence" and is a way for HP to try to get you to buy a new printer. This seems like it would encourage you to buy a printer from someone else, but these corporate guys are not Rhodes scholars. Your printer came out almost 6 years ago.

Mavericks already has the capability to automatically download the appropriate drivers for printers and scanners from Apple, but Apple gets these drivers from the printer and scanner manufacturers. If there's no driver from the manufacturer (see "churning the market" and "planned obsolescence" above), then there's no driver. Also, if you're going to use a computer then you probably should have been aware that every new OS, no matter what the platform, has some bugs, and some incompatabilities with older software and hardware. This is how the universe works. If you have some mission-critical piece of software or hardware, then check first. This is also why one should have a backup of the old OS before installing the new.
Anyway, try uninstalling any HP scanning software that you might be using and try using Image Capture instead. It's in Applications.
VueScan might work: VueScan Scanner Software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux

  • How can I set up first gen airport after upgrading to Mavericks ?

    I recently upgraded to Mavericks and the latest version of Airport Utility (6.3.2) and now get an error message when trying to change settings on older Airport Expresses - "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information."  The older versions of the Airport Utility software do not appear to work in Mavericks. 
    I have two Expresses (both are used for streaming music) and want to change some basic settings on one of them so it connects to a new network, but cannot access either.
    Thanks for any help

    I made my complaint:
    Angry that you broke my ability to configure my airport with Mavericks.
    Angry that I had to jump through a lot of hoops to find that out.
    1. Airport service and report (instead of that link you could have put It won't work)
    2. Several links from there.
    3. read through many pages to try to find the software or firm ware that might help.
    4. Finally came to the conclusion that there was no combination of 802.11g and Mavericks.
    5. Went to community support where one of you customers revealed "It won't work"
    6. Googled it and found a page that would make it work.
    7. Decided I would just buy a new router.
    8. Will go spend money angrily to update the thing.
    You can too - Apple - AirPort Express - Feedback

  • How to recover missing content of mail folders after upgrade to Maverick?

    When I upgraded my Mac computer to Maverick I lost the content of my mail folders.  The folders are there but there are no emails filed in them.

    Try to re-index:
    Repair & Reindex All Messages in Mail app
    You may encounter an alert from Mail app telling you that the mailbox must be repaired, but you can also do this manually. This is particularly helpful if the search functions of the Mail app have become unreliable.
    Quit out of Mail app and go to the Finder
    Hit Command+Shift+G and go to the following path:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Delete every file that begins with “Envelope Index” (optional but recommended: back up these files to the desktop just in case something goes awry)
    Close the MailData window, then relaunch Mail app to force reindexing
    Like rebuilding the mailbox, the reindexing process can also take a while, depending on how large the mailbox is and how much mail is stored on the computer. Be prepared for a lengthy re-indexation if you have tons (thousands+) of messages in Mail app. When finished, try the search or perform the task that you had issues with before and things should be working as usual again.-These two solutions will fix most common mailbox related issues encountered in OS X Mail, so try them out the next time Mail app is performing strangely. On the mobile side of things, iOS does not have similar forced rebuilding and reindexing options, and thus to resolve similar issues you often have to remove the account from iOS Mail settings and then re-add it to resolve like problems, but that’s a topic for another article.

    How can I make my printer airprint compatible so I can print from my iPad air?

    If you have a Mac, you can usually install an application like Printopia to allow the iPad to print to your printer.
    There is a free trial, so you will know if Printopia works for you before you buy. Details here:
    Printopia - Ecamm Network
    There are other apps that do the same things, but I have not tried them, so cannot comment on them.

    Hi,
    I gues you are using AS2.0, then use setInterval, in AS3.0 user Timer Class.
    AS2.0
    var interval:Number = setInterval(doThis,10000);//in milliseconds
    function doThis():Void{
    //do something;
    AS3.0
    var timer:Timer = new Timer(10000, 1);
    timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, onTimerCompleteHandler, false, 0, true )
    function onTimerCompleteHandler(event:TimerEvent):void{
    //do something;

  • How do I copy the Mac OS Lion after upgrading?

    How do I copy the Mac OS Lion after upgrading. I upgraded to OS Lion and now I want to do clean install because my macbook became slower since i installed lion.
    Please, help! Thanks.

    You need to get on a Snow Leopard system, log into the App Store with your Apple ID, then download the Lion installer. The re-download is free. After the installer is downloaded it will start automatically. Now, quit the installer. You can now make a copy of the installer that you will find in the Applications folder.
    Now, you also may be able to get this to work: Open the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key while clicking on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. This is supposed to activate the Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. Clicking the Install button will then re-download the Lion installer.

    After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

    When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

    Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
    You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
    // Get the icon from the b3 button
    var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
    // Get  reference to the b0 button
    var f = getField("b0");
    // Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
    f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
    // Show the b0 button
    f.display = display.visible;
    This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks on my Mac Pro, mail always requires that I type in my password when launching. How do I change that?

    After upgrading to Mavericks on my Mac Pro, mail always requires that I type in my password when launching. How do I change that?

    If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
    Step 1
    When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
    Step 2
    Check that the keychain is working.
    Step 3
    Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

  • How to recover "Recovered Items" after upgrade to Mavericks

    After upgrading to Mavericks (from Mountain Lion), I had to create a new user.
    Then, after logging in, I noticed my Applications and users were missing.
    After some searching in the Terminal, it seems all the items are in "Recovered Items". It's as if the upgrade process failed to put the items back in their place after installing the new OS version.
    How do I get the system to "recover" this?

    Ok I talked to support earlier and I went into my recovered files folder and you should have Applications, Library, Users (shortcut to Users) and if you go to Users, you should see your previous User folder with all of the documents, pictures and such in it! What I had to do is create a new account (admin account) in Users & Groups using the same name for the user directory as your previous one! It should say there is there already a folder under that name and you will want to tell it that you want to use those files! Once that is done, logout, login to your new account and your stuff should be there! Pretty much all you have to do is drag what applications you want from recovered files application folder to your new application folder and of course renter your keys! Your iTunes, iPhoto and Apple products should grab all your previous stuff!
