HP Photsmart C4680  worked great until Snow Leopard please help

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software and everything is fine until I try to have the printer and the Mac communicate. I have had nothing but problems since Snow Leopard. If someone can help me with my printer problem or tell me how to uninstall Snow Leopard that would be even better. Thankx!

OK,
I am glad scanning through Preview is working. Scanning through Image Capture and the Desktop Printer should also work. If you want to use HP Scan (which replaced HP Scan Pro), a full Snow Leopard compatible solution for the HP Photosmart C4680 is available from [HP.com|http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=a l-75095-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=219&product=3739150].
Just trying to help.

  • I can't read in Mavericks DVDs and Bluray data burn with UDF system files burn with Snow Leopard, please help me. Thanks

    i can't read in Mavericks DVDs and Bluray data burn with UDF system files burn with Snow Leopard, please help me. Thanks

    They are DVDs with video files from a little more than 2 GB per file, were burned in Snow Leopard, with UDF file system, now that I updated to Mavericks when I try to read disks displays the directory in the finder a moment and then disappear and does not display them show them more. It is impossible to read the discs, but only those who were burned with UDF file system. Thank you for your help.

  • I have a MacBook White.  Everything worked great with Snow Leopard including Mathematica, and all Pogo games. I downloaded Lion two days ago and now neither program works.  The box states that I need J/Link, and/or java runtime.  Help.

    I have a MacBook White, early 2009 model, just downloaded/installed OS X Lion.  Everything worked well with Snow Leopard - Mathematica, pogo.com games. Now, with Lion, I am getting a box that states I need J/Link, and/or java runtime.  Software update feature states all software is up to date.  Help.

    What about the incredable lag time from clicking on a program to the time it opens (or the time till the loading screen starts)? I wish I could record it and play it so I could see if thats normal from other members... the icon just sitting there for over 35 second (I just counted 36 till the loading screen popped up) at first I thought it was me not clicking hard enought cuz the mouse button I have is real stiff (any ideas on that?) but no it takes that long just to get to the app loading screen... this happens every time same amount of time with the 3 programs I use the most, prolly more but I know for a fact world of warcraft, uTorrent, and Google Chrome. I would just chalk it up to slow hardware but they load real quick in windows 7 and once this bad spot is loaded the program runs so fast and nice afterword. Maybe some tweeks? I wonder if this would happen in Snow?
    The coment "few outdated programs" Ive seen alot its not just a few its a lot and since games are not Apple's strong point I would think they would want to keep as many as they could...
    An example of the rants you will see from a lot here. Don't be put off as these problems are generally user specific, and these same old comments come out after the release of every OSX I can remember. When Lion is upgraded  to the next OSX you can gaurentee these forums will be full of people screaming about how great Lion was. Happened with Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard.
    So come to think of it you may be better off Googling sites that give you unbiased views on Lion, rather than expect any positive comments here. For every one complaint there are probably 100,000 people with no issues.
    Cheers

  • Aperture 1.5.6 no longer works when using Snow Leopard.  Help!

    I never upgraded to Aperture 2. This has prevented me from using RAW files on my Nikon D90 (despite the RAW Compatibility Update, it did not apply to the original Aperture).
    Now, to my dismay, Aperture does not work on Snow Leopard. This is just great, because my entire collection of over 20000 photos is stored in the library. While I am aware that the photos are preserved in the Aperture library, I am aware of absolutely no way to easily access them for export now that I have Snow Leopard installed and I'm fearing for my photography collection.
    I am not willing to downgrade my OS just for Aperture, but after two serious issues with the original Aperture program, I think I am going to switch over to Lightroom. Aperture's workflow was excellent, but the fact that a copy I paid good money for is being phased out in extreme manners like this, so much so that my photo library is in critical condition, makes me leery of future iterations of the program. I understand something like PowerPCs being phased out with the release of Snow Leopard. That makes a lot of sense, because it's old technology. But I feel like Apple simply ignored people who had the original version of Aperture and only supported the newer version.
    I may have to resort to installing Aperture on my friend's laptop that is still running Leopard, exporting all the images, and then importing them into iPhoto in the meantime or something.
    Is there any way I can get around doing this? Is there an easier way to access my files in the Aperture Library without going through the program? Does Lightroom have an easy way to import from Aperture? If I bought Aperture 2 instead of Lightroom, would I be able to import Aperture 1's Photo Library right into Aperture 2 and still preserve everything?
    I'm really worried. Thank you for reading/responding.

    I ran into the same issue as well - I had an old academic version of 1.5 which did not even have an upgrade path to 2.0. What's worse is that there was no way to recover my RAW/master files without rolling back to OSX 10.5. After much frustration and reading Apple's responses in these forums, I decided to try out Adobe Lightroom and I'm liking it a lot now.
    I used a 10.5 install with Aperture 1.5.6 in a temporary partition to get the RAW files out. I probably will not spend any more money on Aperture and will pay the extra $ on lightroom as it seems to be more versatile and worth the money. Especially the new integrated export UI is neat.

  • Can't upgrade to Snow Leopard - please help!

    I have a 2nd generation (summer of 2009) MacBook Air with 10.5.8. I have the Snow Leopard Family Pack (with 3 valid installs left) and can NOT seem to upgrade.
    I tried using the Remote Install app on my iMac (since it has a DVD drive) and it didn't work. I would click on the X to install the new OS, and it would give me a screen saying to restart to begin the process. It would restart and ignore the Remote Install step. Even if I restarted while holding the Option key and selected the remote disk, it still ignored the startup disk or just prompted to restart.
    Then I tried installing the Upgrade disk onto a thumb drive. It caused the computer to restart every 10 seconds or so, until I yanked the thumb drive from the USB port. I tried using System Utilities to treat it as the Startup Drive - didn't change anything. Tried several ways that were suggested online: with an erase and restore, with a single GUID partition, etc. NOTHING worked. Same problem every time where the computer will restart every 10 seconds.
    HELP! Anyone have a surefire way to make this work???

    If you have an 8 GB USB flash drive then start by formatting it properly:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.  If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Now insert the installer DVD into the optical drive and wait for it to mount on the Desktop.  Do the following:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder. 
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window. 
    4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field. 
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.   
    Destination means the USB flash drive. Source means the Installer Disc Image.

  • Epson Print CD  print button Gary out / W, snow leopard - please help.

    please help. after download snow leopard epson print CD is not working. i deleted all epson software from my application and download new epson software from their website. 10.6 and i was trying to use epson print cd ver2.0 and print button is gray, so i can't able to print cd... i restarted my computer. and i did update print information from epson print cd. is there way i can use this new epson print cd with my snow leopard? anybody out there have some information? thank you very much!

    Hi
    I had the same problem with my MB Pro and an Epson Stylus Photo PX700W printer after upgrading to snow leopard.
    I got onto Epson tech support and was advised to do the following (which worked by the way!)
    1) Delete the Epson printer from the "Print & Fax" utility in the "System Preferences"
    To do this, open "Print & Fax" and choose the epson printer in the left hand pane under "printers".
    Then hit delete
    2) Go to the Epson support site and download the latest drivers for your printer
    URL = http://www.epson.co.uk/support
    3) Enter your printer type and on the following page choose "drivers and software"
    4) I personally downloaded the driver plus the Print CD application although I believe it may have been the same version as the one I already had installed.
    5) Once the driver package is downloaded use the installer and install as normal
    6) Once installed go back into "Print & Fax" and choose the + button under the printer left hand pane to choose a new printer.
    In my case the printer was found on wifi using bonjour and I just chose it
    7) launch the "Print CD" app and try to print
    In my case all the options that had been greyed out had returned and I was once most able to print to CD/DVDs
    I hope this helps

  • Com port failed with boot camp and snow leopard - Please help!

    Hi. I have been a very happy leopard and macbook user for the last couple of years. This week I upgraded to a macbook pro with OS X 10.6 snow leopard. I set up boot camp with Windows XP SP3as I have a couple of windows only applications that I need to use and they both need serial port. I had a Keyspan USA 19-QW serial adaptor that worked fine with Leopard and my old macbook. I installed the driver that came with the Keyspan adaptor. Now when I plug the adaptor into the USB slot it finds new hardware and says it is ready to use and the adaptor is listed in my ports as being on COM3 in device manager in windows but when I try to run the programs I get the message 'the selected port could not be opened. Either the port is in use by another application, or the port doesn't exist'. I'd be very grateful for any advice you can give me to solve this problem. Do I need to buy a new adaptor? Is this a settings or driver issue? I'm a user and not a techie person so please can you leave me easy step by step help. Many thanks. Karen

    And was wodering if snow Leopard is pré installed
    Yes.
    And also which disc that came with thé machine has boot camp on it
    None. Windows is a separate purchase.
    i havé read that to install windows7 you need to pût thé snow leopard disc in to complete thé installation
    That refers to the Boot Camp drivers for Windows, not Windows itself.

  • Can't install Snow Leopard, please help

    I just purchased a new SSD and put it into my MacBook Pro and am replacing my old HDD. I also just purchased Snow Peopard as I lost my original discs and can't see to even run the os install disk. When I power on my MBP it just stays at a blank white screen. I've tried booting holding the apt (option) key as well as the "c" key and nothing happens. I can hear it reading the disk.

    Do you know what version of the OS shipped with your MacBook Pro? Or when you bought it?
    Generally, you can't boot a Mac with a disk that has an older operating system than the one it shipped with.
    As far as I know, the only retail Snow Leopard disks are 10.6.3, so if your Mac shipped with 10.6.4 or later, it won't boot with that disk.
    If that is the case, you can contact AppleCare and you will likely be able to order the original disks that came with your Mac. I think they just charge for shipping.
    10.6.4 shipped after about June of 2010.

  • Ikon CPP 550 not working under Snow Leopard, please help.

    I tried to install the drivers for this. I am using the Fiery X3eTY2 65C-KM PS Color Server v1.0 as the selected driver since that is what I've been using prior to 10.6. But now everytime I go to print, I get this "The printer software was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the printer’s software or contact the manufacturer for assistance."
    Any ideas on how to get this printer to work?

    That error is caused by a permissions issue with the fierycupsfilter plugin. EFI have posted an update that can help to resolve the error. You can download the update via this link.
    If that doesn't help, then you may have to manually change the permissions. Open Terminal and copy/paste the following line
    sudo chown -R root:wheel usr/libexec/cups/filter/fierycupsfilter
    then press ENTER. You will be prompted for your Admin account password. Type this in and press ENTER again. This will change the permissions and get you printing again.

  • I took Lion off my Macbook Pro and put Snow Leopard back on and now I can't access Mail or iPhoto. How do I get Mail and iPhoto to work with the Snow Leopard I just put back on?

    Hi. I was having slowness problems with my Macbook Pro and thought I would re-install Lion but put Snow Leopard back on by mistake. I bought the computer used with Lion on it and don't have access to the USB drive or a username/password to reinstall Lion. Now I can't access Mail or iPhoto since I put Snow Leopard on.
    Is there a way to get my Mail and iPhoto working again with Snow Leopard or do I have to "re-upgrade" to Lion?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    You can't. When you converted those libraries to Lion's format, you lost the ability to go backwards. Unless you saved a bootable backup./clone or Time Machine backup of your previous SL installation, you're up the proverbial creek w/o a paddle.

  • I have an old ipod. It worked great until about 2 months ago and now it says I need to restore my ipod but I can't unless I format it, but everytime I try, it says the format could not be completed. Is there anything else I can do to get it to work again?

    No app is required.                                               
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • Font not working after loading snow leopard.

    My font named Smash is not working after loading snow leopard.  Is there any way to fix this?

    I suspect you're talking about a free font called Smash. Read Kurt Lang's paper on font management
    <http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html>
    and especially his strictures on free Windows fonts. The free Smash is a good example of what his talking about. It's a bad, poorly made font. Trash it ASAP.
    If you want to check it with Font Book, use  File > Validate File…, then locate smash.ttf and proceed. You cannot use File > Valide Font, because that command works only with installed, 'working' fonts.
    For the real font, go to

  • FF 3.15 worked perfect with Snow Leopard. But everything after that, till FF 8, crashes left and right. On Facebook. And on ALL different language websites. Should I stop using FF? Heard Chrome is good.

    [Edit: It should be FF 3.5. I mistyped FF 3.15]
    I have MAC OSX Snow Leopard. 10.6.8.
    FF 3.5 [apologies; I mistyped 3.15] worked perfect with Snow Leopard. NO problems.
    But '''everything''' after that, till FF 8, crashes left and right.
    Facebook crashes the most within few short seconds.
    And NO different language websites even open.
    I read online to use Safe Mode and try. I did. No change.
    I read online to reset font cache or or something using atsUtil from the Terminal. I did. Nothing.
    It is super frustrating. Same problem in my wife's Mac as well.
    Should I stop using FF? I heard Chrome is good.
