HP dmg firmware update files won't open in Lion

Another nasty suprise in lion...
Just bought a HP p1102w printer to replace an old HP 5p  I've got an iPad 2 and iMac.  Really wanted to be able to print wirelessly to the p1102w from the iPad 2.  The printer installed fine on the iMac and works great.
When I went to establish a wifi connection, nothing was visible in airprint.  Once again, HP (and apple) are touting that ipads will be able to wirelessly print and the setup is easy etc.  Apple recommends the HP p1102w as a functioning printer...
Apple always seems to be left behind in the HP development process and once again it seems to be true.  After an hour on the phone, the HP people told me the drivers need firmware update.  So, I downloaded it ( LJP1100_P1560_P1600_FW_Update.dmg )  When I went to open the image and run the update, the driver update had the old "appleworks" logo on it.  When clicking to update, nothing happened.
Called HP again and they said, "Probably just bad download."  Redid it and same result.  Upon further conversations I pressed them on why lion would run the update...  When they looked into it, they basically said, "Looks like our updaters don't work with lion."  Of course, they said it's apple's fault for releasing Lion.  I mentioned they probably haven't spent any time checking anything till lion arrived (they admitted they don't do any updating till final product is out). 
He did say that the firmware update ran fine in snowleopard, so I should just install it on a machine running 10.6.8  (ha!  not rich enough to afford 3 or 4 computers a one time).  They said they're working on it, but who knows when it will work.
so, I've got a new iPad 2, a new printer and a new OS on my iMac and can't get the firmware to update so printer will work for iPad 2. 
I don't understand why the firmware update can't be somehow sent to the iPad 2...  This whole system of doing things for my iPad 2 through iTunes or another computer is rather confoluted.  Just wish the iPad 2 ran a unix base and didn't have to mess with a placenta like iTunes.
Sorry for the long rant...  The question is:
How can I get my iPad 2 to print to the hp P1102w asap (I hate to wait for HP, apple always gets second class treatment for development with them...)
Also, beware of some updates on images may no run in lion.  Looks like they used ppc or programing and doesn't work now.  All sorts of nasty suprizes when you obliterate the ability to run some of the software for earlier OSs....
(Too bad apple doesn't keep rosetta or some translator for these older OSs...  I've now got 1000's of Appleworks files and other ppc software files that can't be opened anymore).

OK, I did a bit more work, here is a workaround that I verified works on 10.7.
- Download the HP Firmware
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL32545/bi-95186-1/LJP1100_P1560_P1600_ FW_Update.dmg
- Disconnect your computer's ethernet.  Turn off your computer's AirPort.
- Connect the printer to your computer via USB
- Run the utility
- Follow the instructions from there

  • HELP! Files won't open and previously had Firefox icon instead of DW icons!  Leap Year thing?

    Hi!  I went to update my website, which I do every night before the first day of every month and all the files had a FIrefox icon instead of the usual Dreamweaver one.  I have shut down, reinstalled DW MX 2004 but the files still do not open.  The icons have now changed to DW but they are not opening with right click, opening from Applications folder, double clicking the file, from get info and open with DW.  I am stumped. HELP!  Need to update for March 1st.
    Is it something to do with Leap Year 29th Feb?  Checked the clock in preferences but can't see how this affects it.
    Firefox is always updated but the latest version does not seem to be as efficient as previous upgrades.  We installed Chrome as well.  Do they interfere with each other?

    Hi Ken
    I wish the 7.1 updater download had helped but it didn¹t.  All the files
    were backed up before the installation, which went fine.
    Mac 10.5.8
    We used Disc Warrior to defrag the hard drive, which did not make a
    difference.
    We recently started using Chrome, so now have 3 browsers in the dock,
    Safari, Firefox and Chrome.  Do they interfere in any way with each other?
    The files, which I hadn¹t touched for a month as I update on a monthly
    basis, initially had the Firefox icon.

    HI,
    If iChat is Open and your think Accounts/Screen Names are logged in then go to the Window Menu
    This should list the accounts that are logged in with various keystrokes ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and a Number) shown next to them.
    Using these should get the Buddy list "back".
    It is possible to Hide the Buddy list and then Quit iChat.
    iChat will then "remember" where the windows were eve if this was Hidden.
    Can you confirm that after reinstalling or restoring from Time Machine with possibly an Earlier Version you have Downloaded the COMBO version of OS X 10.6.8 and "run the COMBO" (Installed it - again) to update iChat ?
    It is possible the text chat Window is also Hidden on double clicking a Buddy.
    The easiest way for this to happen is to use a second Display and drag some windows to the second Display.
    iChat "remembers" where you last had Outgoing Chats so Audio and Video windows will be where you left them as will Text Chats.
    Incoming Chat Invites are normally in set places unless there is a chat already open to that Buddy.
    With  Windowing issue like this is sometimes pays to delete com.apple.ichat.plist itself  (on it's own) and restart iChat  (this plist holds the window positions amongst other things)

  • Old Applications & files won't open in OSX-Tiger/Classic

    [post moved from other forum]
    I finished my Powerbook's hardware upgrade with success yesterday(with thanks to JPL, Sig, A_Brody and other's great advice). System is now Powerbook G3 400 Firewire with 512mbRam, new 40GB HDD, and OS-X Tiger. However...
    I can't seem to get the older Applications or their files to open. I get the error message:
    "There is no default application specified to open the document Appleworks 6"
    and/or
    "Could not be opened because the application that created it could not be found--- could not find a translation extension with appropriate translators"
    The upgrade/update procedure included...
    ===Back-up all files on the old 10GB HDD to an external USB drive.
    ===Remove old and replace w/new 40GB HDD, also install new 512MB PC-133 RAM module in lower slot.
    ===booted from old OS CD and ran Hard drive set-up utility with two partitions, one 30GB the other 10GB.
    ===Install OS 9.0.4 from that original Apple software CD onto the first 30GB partition.
    ===Onto same partition, ran OS-9 Update 9.1.0, then 9.2.1, then fireware update 4.1.8f5, then Update 9.2.1
    ===Installed OS-X Tiger onto the first 30GB partition
    ===Moved all backed-up files from the external USB drive onto the second 10GB partition.
    I have tried running the old applications in both OS-X Classic mode and also after changing the "Start-up Disk" to the smaller partition (which should be a clone of how the original Hard drive was set-up i.e. folder structure etc.)
    I'm quite surprised that when re-booting to the smaller partiton, that although it looks just like my system prior to upgrading, the apps don't run and the files don't open those older apps that created them. I assumed that the smaller Partition--and booting to it--would be the same as if the original Hard drive was still in the powerbook.
    When I get those error messages above, I have followed the "Choose Application" button thru to where I could choose the application. I follow to the "Applications (Mac OS 9" folder to where the actual APPLEWORKS 6 app (for exmaple) is located, but it is greyed out and can't be selected. BTW later I did copy all of the contents of the original "Applications" folder from the backed-up HDD into the OSX "Applications Mac OS 9" folder. Also note, the apps in that folder are listed as KIND "Unix Executable File". The files (in this case AppleWorks files) are also listed as that file KIND.
    ===In the OSX's System Preferences/System/Classic/Advanced tab, I have tried the REBUILD DESKTOP procedure--with no effected change. I know I read elsewhere in discussions that there was a procedure to re-boot with a certain keyboard held-key combo that allows to re-build desktop upon booting?? I don't remember the keyboard combo. And,not certain how that procedure is different.
    ===In the change Start-Up disc Utility, I now see four Systems to choose from...
    Mac OSX 10.4 on New 30GB HD
    Mac OS 9.2.2 on New 30GB HD
    Mac OS on Old 10GB HD (that's the smaller partition),
    Mac OS 9.2.2 on New 30GB HD
    Network Start-up
    Both the second and forth choice will boot-up to OS 9.2, but as mentioned the apps won't run and files won't open
    I'm guessing the reason the third choice won't boot (it reverts back to OSX Tiger when I try) is because that original System copy is OS 9.0.4 (backed-up prior to running the OS-9.1 and 9.2.1, 9.2.2 updates.). Also note, when in OS 9.2.2 when I go into that Utility... Apple/Control Panels/Startup Disk it doesn't list the old OS on the smaller partition. BTW could I now run/perform the OS-9 updates to bring that System on the smaller HD partition up to OS-9.2.2 with out causing problems (and maybe providing solutions?)
    I wonder...
    ??? Why would I be having to choose which application would open an application---wouldn't an app open on its own (Unix Executable File")
    ??? When I moved the orig HD back-ups on the external USB drive I noticed a file with some kind of PC icon was being created within the folder. Currently I see that the file is now displayed as FINDER.DAT. Does this file relate to the error that refers to "appropriate translators"? Could the Apple Macintosh files being backed-up onto an external USB drive that may not have been formated as Apple HFS type be causing a problem?
    ??? Why wouldn't the smaller 10GB partition with the old HDD back-up copy moved to it not function like the original Hard drive? Particularly when I choose to boot to its SYSTEM w/Start-up Disc? BTW when I choose that route, the powerbook just boots to OSX Tiger.
    THANKS for any replies, you all have been a great help with the challenges of upgrading...
    MSG-PWRBkG3
    PS:
    Sorry for the long post. But, I have included as much up-front details as possible to assist in your replies. I also want to help others reading this thread later on as to what (correct or incorrect) procedures were followed... to help them see how these in-compatibility scenerios would be similiar to their situations... leading to solutions for all.

    Thank you for including as much detail as you did. It makes it much easier to troubleshoot this type of issue. What I'll do is basically follow along with the procedure you used and point out where you (unknowingly) ran into problems.
    "Back-up all files on the old 10GB HDD to an external USB drive."
    Okay, I'm betting that this external USB drive was formatted as PC-Exchange/Windows format. Since this type of disk format doesn't have native support for the special "Mac" information about files (such as resource forks and HFS metadata like file type and creator codes), when Mac OS writes files to these disks, it needs to use a special method. When you copy the files from OS 9, OS 9 adds special "FINDER.DAT" files and also stores the resource-fork-parts of the original files inside a "RESOURCE.FRK" folder on the disk. My FAQ goes into more detail about this. When, from OS 9, you look at the files you just copied to the PC-formatted disk, and they appear identical to the files on your original 10 GB hard drive, that is in fact a complete illusion. The files as they exist on the PC-formatted disk are very different from what they appear. When you hook it up to your OS 9 Mac, the files appear fine, and you can copy them and have them work just like the original files did. If, on the other hand, you hook this PC-formatted hard drive up to your OS X Mac, it looks at the files in a completely different way. If you copy the files off of this disk from OS X, most of the files won't be usable.
    "Remove old and replace w/new 40GB HDD, also install new 512MB PC-133 RAM module in lower slot."
    "booted from old OS CD and ran Hard drive set-up utility with two partitions, one 30GB the other 10GB."
    "Install OS 9.0.4 from that original Apple software CD onto the first 30GB partition."
    "Onto same partition, ran OS-9 Update 9.1.0, then 9.2.1, then fireware update 4.1.8f5, then Update 9.2.1"
    "Installed OS-X Tiger onto the first 30GB partition"
    "Moved all backed-up files from the external USB drive onto the second 10GB partition."
    If you did this from OS X, you will run into problems, whereas if you do this from OS 9, you'll be okay. The reason for this, as I mentioned above, is that OS X doesn't know how to "see" the files in the same way that OS 9 does.
    This is what I would do. Make sure you still have the PC-formatted drive with the files you backed up from OS 9. Reboot into one of your versions of OS 9 that works properly. Hook up the external USB drive, and the files on it should appear properly and function properly. Now copy the files over onto your local hard drive and they should work properly as well. The files that you copied over from OS X won't be useful and can be deleted. Then reboot into OS X and you should be all set.
    Hope this helps....

  • Canon 7D Mark II files won't open in bridge or photoshop

    I am using photoshop CS5 and purchased a canon 7D Mark II and my files won't open. I updated to the photoshop 8.7.1 and my files still won't open. How do I fix this?

    Assuming you mean ACR (Adobe Camera Raw plug-in) 8.7.1, not "Photoshop" what you write makes no sense.
    ACR 8.7.1 needs at least CS6 to run.  You will never be able to open your raw files from that camera directly in CS5.  There will be no further updates for the obsolete, unsupported CS5 applications.
    You have to go the free, stand alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1.  Locate it, download it, install it and then launch and run it on ever folder of raw files to convert them to raw DNGs you can then open in your CS5 setup.

  • Keynote (6.2) file won't open. Can I make a new Index.zip file using some of the extracted .iwa files?

    Keynote (6.2) file won't open (hung and crashed during auto-OS update).  Trying to salvage everything possible.  I know about grabbing the pictures from Data folder, but is there a way to extract the good .iwa files and make a new Index.zip? 
    Tried extracting, capturing uncorrupted .iwa and deleting corrupted ones, but can't figure out how to re-compress to readable format for Keynote.  Seems silly that I can't ge the new .zip file to work.  There has to be some sort of manual work-around, yeah?
    Thanks.

    This problem has been reported to the AppleWorks team, but I doubt that we will ever hear if there is a fix. AppleWorks 6 is now nearly 6 years old & hasn't even had an update since March, 2004.
    Nothing has been found to be able to make AppleWorks 6.2.9 open the problem files. I've had it happen & not happen with all AppleWorks file types. These files can be opened by any other version of AppleWorks 6, including the OS 8/9 component 6.2.8. If you have the retail version of AppleWorks & have Classic installed, you can "Force" AppleWorks 6 to open in Classic to open the files, save them as AW 6 files & then open them in the OS X version. You do want to make sure you don't have both the Classic & OS X versions of AppleWorks 6 running at the same time. I find it much easier to use AppleWorks 5 in Classic to open & save the files. AppleWorks 6.2.9 has no problem opening AppleWorks 5 files.

    You'll need to include much more information to get a useful answer here: which camera; raw files (assume so, but could be JPEG, TIFF); version of ACR (4.something); computer (Windows, Mac), etc.
    Here's a wild guess though - you're using a new (or newish) camera with this older version of PS which (assuming you are trying to open raw files) doesn't support the camera in question. See this FAQ: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/03/why-doesnt-my-version-of-photoshop-or-lightroom- support-my-camera.html
    Hope this helps, but as I say, more information will allow folk on this forum to give you a more definitive answer.

  • Keynote '08 files won't open after cable replacement

    After what I've read, I'm so glad I didn't have the Apple Store install Maverick when the cable had to be replaced in my MacBook Pro as a work around to a possible drive failure. I thought I had successfully reinstalled everything via disk and back up restoration, but no, my Keynote '08 files won't open in the original program that created them and need "a newer version." Not acceptable. Can someone help me with this? I teach and need my original files for editing!

    I presume you mean Keynote version 4, part of the iWork 08 suite, (there is no version 08)
    1 -  Delete the complete iWork 08 installation, you must use an application removal tool to do this correctly.
    2 -  (Appcleaner from Mac Update is free and works perfectly for this)
    3 -  Re-install iWork from the Installation CD and test

  • FCP 5.1 file won't open in FCP 7

    Hi.
    I am at my wits end...I have a FCP 5.1 file that I have been working on for years.
    I had to upgrade to FCP 7 for reasons I won't go into and now my FCP 5.1 file won't open.
    It is a file with footage from P2 cards. It has magic bullet/looks builder used throughout. I am not sure if that is the issue at one point ONE of the messages I got when it crashed (I got a few different ones at different times) was something about looksbuilder not working right.
    In a nutshell, it slowly starts to open and then quits. (It gets to about 33 percent open over the course of 45 minutes and then crashes.)
    The file is about half a gig and there is plenty of room on the MAC itself so it shouldn't be that the Mac is overtaxed.
    I don't know what to do.
    I tried opening various back-up copies, etc. because I thought maybe something was just corrupted. NONE of them open.
    I tried deleting render files to limit how much it was trying to process when it opened the thing.
    I even tried turning off the external drives that hold the media hoping that if it couldn't find the media it would just open the shell of a file for me and maybe I could reconnect it all later. Obviously, grasping at straws...
    I am out of options. Do I just need to wipe my computer and reinstall 5.1 from scratch? That would stink because there is another project being worked on on the computer that is a FCP 7 file.
    I tried putting a copy of FCP 5.1 back on the computer (so I have 7 and 5.1 on there now) to get it to open, but FCP 5.1 won't work either now (I get General Error 41 - whatever that means) Maybe you can't have two versions of FCP on the computer? Maybe it thinks it got opened in 7 so now it won't work in 5? even though it never fully opened? Guessing...
    I'd appreciate any and all help. All I want to do is open the 5.1 file and save it in FCP 7 and work from there.
    Thanks!

    Hey Michael:
    Thanks for the response. I did something similar in that I opened the file on another computer that had FCP 7 and it was fine. So I saved that. Then I went to my Mac and tried to open that file and it crashed...but it said something about Looksbuilder...so I contacted them and they had me uninstall, reinstall and then fix the preference files for Looksbuilder and it now opens.
    YAY!
    Thanks again,
    Shari
