Hi,
From the Apple menu click on App Store, then select Software Update.
Click the top Store menu and then on Reload page and install any listed HP or Apple update.
Once you are done, try adding the printer under Printers & Scanners again, then follow the software update once again to ensure the latest drivers were installed.
Please check if that may work, if the same persists try installing the drivers manually from the following link:

Once you are done try adding the printer from Printers & Scanners once again and check for any difference.
Please let me know the results.

CS4 Install DVD does not mount on Macbook Pro after Maverick upgrade

I upgraded a Macbook Pro to Maverick from Snow Leopard. I want to install CS4 but when I put the DVD in the Superdrive, it spins and spins and eventually says that the DVD is blank. I have successfully mounted other DVD's so I don't think it is a drive problem. I have also tried the DVD in a newer model Macbook Pro and it mounts successfully. Does anyone have any idea what is causing the problem. More important, is there a different method I can use to install CS4?

I am not saying that the CS4 applications will not work but Adobe has never tested All CS4 applications on MAC Maverick. It might or might not work.

But yes if that works, its good. I just wanted to keep you updated in case in future if the application gives you any issue with the performance.

10.5.4 retail install DVD will not install on macbook pro

I have a retail OSX Leopard DVD
version 10.5.4
2Z691-6232-A
I am trying to do a clean install of the OS on a Macbook Pro 5,2
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz/ 4GB of memory
The machine is currently running 10.5.8. The OS currently installed on the machine in question was originally installed from the same disk.
This is a company machine & the company I work for purchased the DVD and the changing the startup disk has always worked in the past.
There shouldn't be any sort of sketchy I borrowed this disk from my step-brother's cousin's wife.
The disk mounts on the desktop.
When I change the starup disk to the DVD and restart nothing happens. The system restarts but does not do it from the boot DVD.
When I hold down the c key during reboot the machine goes into a booting loop but never boots.
startup tone/30 seconds(no apple screen)/startup tone, etc.
It seems like there is a problem with the DVD even though it mounts on the desktop.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for responding.
I'm sorry I wasn't clear. The disk was never borrowed.
The disk was bought by a business. Only used by the one business and it didn't come with a computer because it was bought online by one busines who has always kept the disc in their possession. We have used this disc numerous times to reinstall 10.5.4 on a number of our machines.
The disc in question is black like the box that is comes in. In my experience OS discs before 10.6 (especially retail discs) are not linked to a machine so this has nothing to do with the wrong disc.

Wacom intuos5 driver not installing on MacBook Pro 2009 ML

Hi,
I recently bought a new Wacom graphics tablet - intuos 5touch. Very expensive and supposedly very good. But I cannot install this on my MacBook Pro 13inch 2009 running mountain lion 10.8.2. I have the latest driver fromwacom and the installation process runs all the way through to 'validating packages' and then fails for no given reason. On Console there are a long list of errors but not sure if these are for the installation or other reasons. I have deleted and reloaded the driver and I have cleared my hard drive and clean installed mountain lion from the apple store with a time machine backup. I am extremely frustrated. I have been using my macbookpro for 3 years with no real problems but the latest os releases seem to be causing everything to run slow or not work. I have checked the hd for errors and repaired everything which needs doing. Does anyone have any suggestions? I cannot afford to replace my mac, it was expensive enough and should really last longer than 3 years.
Any help gratefully received
thanks
Helen

Ok, this is my latest update. Having spent 1.5 hours in the apple store having a full diagnostic check done - nothing obviously wrong - I have done the following:
Replaced the old drive with a new ssd. Added 4gb RAM to give a total of 8Gb. Done a full reinstall of mountain lion by download and NOT restored from time machine.
The Apple tech suggested that I either had a bad drive or there was a software conflict somewhere. I restored from my time machine backup onto the new drive and still couldn't install, so that told me it was software not hardware that was causing the problem. I then erased my new drive and downloaded mountain lion from the app store from scratch and reinstalled. Before doing anything else I downloaded the driver from wacom and - hey presto - it installed! Halleluia!
The conclusion is that I had either a corrupt file or setting somewhere which was causing a conflict with wacom and not allowing installation. If your disk is ok then I suggest you clone your hard drive to time machine or other backup, erase the hard drive, reinstall mountain lion from disk or download and then before doing anything else install wacom's driver. If this installs then you need to decide what to restore from your backup - the apple tech suggested not restoring settings and users as these areas are where corruptions can occur.
Tedious but it works, and my wacom intuos 5 is now working! I hope it's worth it!
Hope this helps.

Mountain Lion not installing on MacBook pro 17inch

I have downloaded without any issue and followed the prompt to install. The install start and goes on for 35 minutes with the progress bar moving. So it is doing something. Then it is getting to the end with the following message: install failed. OsX could not be installed on your computer. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer. Click start to restart your computer and try installing again.
I have tried 6 times but not working. The I wanting to restore from backup using the utilities from the menu bar "Restore System from backup" it will do the same and. Go on for 35 minutes and get to the same screen "install failed" what should I do now.

Having read several posts on this subject it seems to be very hit and miss for some people, but I think on the whole it is only a few who are affected.
I find it very difficult to believe that a Mac cannot be taken back to Snow Leopard by performing a complete fresh install using the install DVD that came with that machine, or a retail edition disc. Mac OS does not alter the firmware during the install as far as I am aware, so the hardware should be the same as it was originally before the install.
The only thing I can think that might prevent a successful install might be if the system files have been altered by software installers, the Mac OS installer might be confused, or if the permissions have not been set correctly then the installer might not be able to overwrite or set up certain files. That is why a clean install should (in theory) always work on compatible hardware, then a restore from a backup or Time Machine would be all that is required to bring back the user's data. Formatting the hard drive may be a necessary step if it is not working as expected, this can be done from the Utilities when booted from the install media (or Lion recovery thing).
I didn't have a problem installing Lion or Mountain Lion on my Late 2011 17 inch MacBook Pro, but before installing made sure I created a USB flash drive (8GB) from the downloaded installer using the little trick which is around on the internet. If the installation had bailed for any reason, I definitely did not want to have to download several GB all over again.

Image does not display on MacBook Pro (does on PowerBook G4!)

I created a slide in Keynote on my PowerBook G4 with an image dropped in (a pdf, I can't remember whether it was originally cut and past or dragged and dropped in). When transferring the Keynote presentation to a new macBook Pro (copying via a USB thumb drive), the presentation opens but the image does not display (everything else is OK).
The weird thing is that the image does show up in the thumbnail in Navigator View. It disappears in Light Table View, and then is gone when I return back to Navigator View. However, when I close and reopen the file, it appears again in the thumbnail.
When I click on the area where the image should be, the open squares show up around something. If I try to copy this object and past into another application (like Photoshop), I only get a blank image.
I have managed to get around this by laboriously copying the affected images on my PowerBook into separate pdf files, then transferring those files to my MacBook Pro and dropping them into place. However, I know I will find a missing image at some later date, when I no longer have access to my old PowerBook.
How to solve this problem?
P.S. Both machines are running Keynote 4.0.2 and Mac OS 10.5.2.

Thanks for taking a look!
The original image was created using Photoshop to cut out an image from a pdf file. Then it was either cut and pasted or dragged into Keynote.
Here are screenshots of what I get when I open the "droppedimage-17.pict" file (shown in the Show Package Contents window) using QuickTime on both machines. For the PowerBook:
http://www.cems.umn.edu/download/attachments/Powerbook.png
For the MacBook Pro:

Strangely, the Powerbook version looks like a correct grey-scale image, while the MacBook Pro looks like a B&W image.

Youtube does not work in MacBook Pro

Youtube videos do not work in my macbook.
I can goto the website, but when I goto play the video..it does not work...a black box just appears instead of the video.
How do I solve this problem?
I already updated my flash player and reset Safari...still doesn't work.

i tried..i did this before...i downloaded again after you sent the link...videos are still not working.
Except for some...but I can't open them up on full screen.
I think some of them are working because I tried this 32-bit thing that I read on the internet written by others who faced te same problem...but I ticked off the 32-bit thing because it didn't work for all the videos...basically..youtube isn't working

Quicktime 7.5.5 not installing on MacBook Pro

I have downloaded QuickTime for Leopard 7.5.5 and run the install. I follow all instructions including restarting after "Installation Successful" notification.
After restart QuickTime is nowhere to be found, not in Applications and not showing in the sofware section of "About This Mac". Searching only locates QuitckTime help files.
I have searched the QT support forum and cannot find an answer.
I have a first generation MacBook Pro 1.83 ghz, 2 gigs of ram and am running Leopard. I have run software update and all software is up to date.

I had to update my QuickTime and downloaded 7.5.5 and ran the install. I'm having the same problem. Suddenly QuickTime has disappeared from my computer. When I had an earlier version of QT, my iTunes Movies wouldn't play. Now the Movies on iTunes play, but I cannot open any video files from my camera--.AVI files. This is my first time posting on one of these forums. Thank you for your help.

Trackpad does not scroll on Macbook pro with ios10.9.5

On a new MacBook pro 3GHz Core i7 the built in trackpad does not scroll with the finger movement in any of the applications.
I have to use the scroll bar on the side. The OS is iOS 10.9.5.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Hi,
all the boxes are checked.
The 2-finger zoom and intelli-zoom work, so does the turning.
However the scrolling does not.
Any other tips?
Thanks,

Pages purchased via Apple Store not installed in MacBook Pro

Hi, I bought a new MacBook Pro recently (Mac OS X Version 10.7.4). I purchased Pages via Apple Store and click the 'INSTALL' button. After that I found that Pages is never installed in my computer (I check the applications folder and could not find pages installed in it). Can anyone help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
Dina

Dear Jerry,
Thank you for the reply. Sorry for the delay in replying.
You are right. There is an application in MacBook Pro (Lion) with the name App Store.
I purchased the software using this application only.
I am sorry. I did not purchase it online in apple online store. I purchased online through this application (App Store).
Finally, I figured out. I had a previous installation of iWork in my MacBook Pro (Lion). I read in the internet
about this and came to know that I should go to Library/Preferences/ and then delete Com.Apple.iWork.
I did this. Rebooted the system and then tried to install. I was successful and now Pages is installed.
Thank you very much for the help.

HT6150 Single press of Power Button does not put my MacBook Pro to sleep after this update! Do I need to change anything in the settings? Any help please? Thank you!

The title says it all! After installing the new Mavericks update, I cannot put my MacBook Pro to sleep after a single press of the Power Button like before. Does it have something to do with this update or my MacBook Pro? Or do I have to change something in Settings?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Send your opinion to Apple.
But remember that there are others.
A moment is a medieval unit of time equal to 1.5 minutes or 1/40 of an hour. This reckoning is derived from the work of Bartholomeus Anglicus, writing in 1240 that each hour was divided into four points, each point into ten moments, each moment into twelve ounces, and each ounce into 47 atoms.
In modern English it usually refers to "a short period of time",[2] the exact length remaining ambiguous.
