How to choose an air printer for OS Mountain Lion 10.8.3

I am needing a printer for my macbook pro. Would like a multi-function laser printer that will print wirelessly. In reading the reviews on the Apple site, most of them are bad and talk about not working with the operating system. I will be using it for printing shipping and mailing labels, and general use printing. Does anyone have a printer that they would recommend? Your help is appreciated.

My old Brother printer has churned out 60,000 pages and is still going strong. And it has worked without problems on every OS version since 10.4. That model is no longer being sold, but i would recommend the Brother brand without reservation.

I'm sorry, but you are late. Apple isn't offering more codes to upgrade to Mountain Lion for free, so if you want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, open the App Store and purchase it

How to block CONTACT on iMessages for MAc (Mountain Lion)

I know that AIM and other accounts can have "buddies" blocked. But is there a way to block a CONTACT from writing you on iMessages for Mac. I have mountain lion. I blocked this person on my iPhone, but they are still able to send me messages and it comes through on my computer. How do I block a contact on my computer? When I go to Preferences > iMessage account, there are not two tabs at the top that I keep reading about. I have no blocked tab. It just shows the email and phone number that I can get messages from. Can someone please help me get to where I can block CONTACTS, not buddies, from my iMessages on my Mac?

What is the best air printer for the iPad 3

What is the best air printer for iPad 3?

I don't have a home office - nor do I have any experience in printers the way some reviewers do. When it comes to printing, all I care is that it actually prints and doesn't jam.
Printers are so inexpensive these days and my old printer was a great Cannon that did it's job - cost about 80 bucks when I purchased. Then I bought an iPad and tried ALL the free printing apps - and even paid for an app that swore it would work with any printer. NOPE.
So, when this printer came up to test - I jumped on it! WOW. Not only is it so easy to set up, even I can do it (didn't even need the disk). It prints anywhere from my iPad and my iPhone. I also love the double sided printing and never realized how much double siding printing I actually do. It's great for long recipes. The photo aspect of it is sharp and clear. I LOVE The scanner and though I rarely use a fax - it's nice to know it's available so I don't have to drive to my local media store. For the price - it's amazing.
It's also super fast compared to my Cannon and super quiet.

How do I print my iCal (Mountain Lion 10.8.5) in 5x7 format?

How do I print my iCal (Mountain Lion 10.8.5) in a 5x7 format? 5x7 is not listed as an option in the print menu.

For custom print sizes, see the software called Clickbooks: http://www.bluesquirrel.com/products/cbmac/
I would ask them if what you want is possible before purchasing. A customer of mine got it to make many other custom formatted pages. Don't have them anymore, but they I'm sure could tell you if it is possible. Be sure to also indicate your printer model.

How to redeem a free upgrade for OS X Lion

I just buy a new macbook pro on 10 July, how can i redeem the free upgrade for OS X Lion?
As many people say, can redeem through Itunes, but when i click in the redeem at the Quick Link, it want me to enter my gift card or other iTunes Code.
What should i do with the code? Where can i get the code?

I just purchase MacBookPro 2011 Version (MC700). May I know how can I claim free upgrade for OS X Lion?
I note that you marked correct a response that seems to assume you just bought the machine and are interested in a free Mountain Lion update, but you state your machine is a 2011 model. I'm not sure whether that was a typo or there was a miscommunication, but it's important to understand that the Lion Up-to-Date program ended a while ago. If you are hoping to update to Lion for free, you've missed the boat on that one, and you definitely won't qualify for the Mountain Lion Up-to-Date program. If you want Lion, you'll need to buy it. If you wait a month, though, you can get Mountain Lion instead for $10 cheaper (Mountain Lion will only be $20, Lion is $30), and you can upgrade straight from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.

The Internet connection can do it slow or fast. If it's slow, it will take more time

I have paid for the Mountain Lion. But for some reason, I cannot seem to download it, despite software being upgraded. Anyone facing this problem where the download does not begin? How can I solve this?

Make sure your Mac qualifies to run Mountain Lion > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
Try disabling anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferencs > Security & Privacy
Apps such as Little Snitch and Net Nanny can prevent apps from downloading from the App store including Mountain Lion.
Third party download managers are not compatible with the App Store.
Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

Make sure you read the system requirements. Also install Rosetta if you want Power PC applications to run.
Snow Leopard Purchase
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.
Computer Compatibility - Lion                       Lion
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

Need new all-in-one printer compatible w/Mountain Lion

I upgraded my MBP to Mountain Lion a few months ago, and I'm having a printer crisis. I have a Canon MP500 which does a very nice job printing photos, documents and copying, but the scanning feature won't work with Mountain Lion. I contacted Canon and they indicated that they would not be upgrading the drivers for that printer to support Mountain Lion.
In addition, I have an old (make that really old) HP multi-purpose device that I kept just for faxing, but that finally broke down yesterday.
So, since I have to replace the scanner and need fax capability, I would like to get one device that will do everything. It's important that it prints photos well, but I don't have room for a large machine.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I've got an Epson NX530 that works nicely over Wireless. I've never directly connected it.
The NX are the home/consumer versions and they have some slightly more expensive home office/small business versions that use the same mechanisms.
I don't think any of the front panel buttons work (except Copy), but I can scan from Image Capture which I prefer over any of the bundled scan utilities I've ever had. I think my wife scans using the Epson software and has never asked me how to use it.
I really don't print that much, so I can't comment on the economics of ink usage.

Apple makes you WORK HARD for your Mountain Lion upgrade

Mountain Lion was launched on 25th July. I bought a new Macbook Air on 11th July, with the promised upgrade. I did not realise that Apple was going to make me work so hard to get the upgrade, which I still don't have up till now. Lesson learnt - next time, I should wait till the launch of a new OS to get the new OS rather than wait for an upgrade.
The waiting time would mean I'll get a new computer with the OS installed at the same time as I would have if I had ordered it on 25th July, without the work.
My note to Apple feedback below posted for everyone's benefit, seeing that Apple states they don't respond to the feedback they receive.
---- Note to Apple feedback ---
I had to use my Apple ID to create an account and order a new MacBook Air, which I did on 11th July. I received the item and waited for the Mountain Lion upgrade which is promised as free.
I did not realise that Apple was going to make me work to get the upgrade. It would have been easier to just wait for the upgrade before buying your product.
Why is it necessary to go through such a convulated application process to get the mountain lion upgrade?
Why is Apple asking for information such as what I ordered (which qualifies for the upgrade), if it is in my Apple ID account and you already knew that 10.8 would be available on 25th July?
Why do I need to re-submit my hardcopy order chit (which by the way, was disposed upon receipt of the Macbook)and other documentation to prove my purchase?
This has inconveinced me greatly as I had to find a scanner to scan the document for submission.
This seems a rather antiquated and bureaucractic process for a company which is supposed to be on the technological edge, and which is delivering the OS to me using MY DATA PLAN and not providing me any hardcopies to justify the additional work required on my part.
So far, I have wasted 1 hour to make the claim ... and now I am told I have to wait at least 72hours to get the key, at which point it will probably take me another few hours to install the OS.
Which also means that I will also be receiving the new OSX at least 5 days after its launch - as late as it would have been if I had just waited till 25th July to order the mac.
Kindly review your processes.

I decided to make a second application last night with the invoice printed from the online store just in-case the first set was rejected.
Well, this morning - both claims came back rejected. The first one on the basis the scan was not clear (huh ?) ... and the second because my mid-2012 (july) Macbook 13" air does not qualify for the upgrade. huh ??
I called the help line and they are as puzzled ... so they said they will escalate it. From what they can see in the system, it should have gone through. Given its now the weekend, it will be another 3 days of delay at the least.
It's almost as if they have created mounds of bureaucracy for nothing, to make their customers jump through hoops.
I really should have stuck to ordering it with 10.8 installed... it was just waiting another week. Big regret.
Now I am stuck in an endless array of form submissions, online forms, talking to Apple support ... waiting ... waiting ... waiting. ..

How can I do a clean install of Mountain Lion?

I have an older MacBook Pro that I'm selling. I upgraded to Mounbtain Lion, but there was not an option to do a clean install (wiping everything clean and starting fresh). I want to do this to make sure all of my data is removed before I sell it. How can I do a clean install of Mountain Lion in order to accomplish this? In the past, from DVDs, it was easy. Thanks!

Sure, but I would imagine that it will be common for people to sell their Macs with upgraded OSs.
That was only OK when you bought the Upgrade DVD and included both the original system discs and the disc you used to upgrade the OS.
Since Apple has now gone to the Download only model of OS X you now always need to install the Original OS or an Upgraded version that you have the DVD disc for.
If a Mac came with Leopard and you upgraded to Snow Leopard and then to Lion or Mt Lion you must remove Lion or Mt Lion and reinstall either Leopard or Snow Leopard and include all the discs for that system, Originals and the Upgrde Snow Leopard DVD.
If your system came Snow Leopard and you installed Lion or Mt Lion thenn again you remoeve Lion or Mt Lion and reinstall Snow Leopard and include the original discs that came with the system
If your system came with Lion and you upgraded to Mt Lion then you remove Mt Lion and reinstall Lion.
The reason for all of that is because with the Download only OS all upgrades are TIED to YOUR Apple ID, not to the computer. So the new owner can not reinstall Lion or Mt Lion, whichever you upgraded to, without using your Apple ID.

HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

The installer for Logic Pro 8 has a bug which keeps it from operating in Lion or Mt. Lion. Use the program Pacifist to install it.
