You can use the adaptor that came with your device. They work in the UK. You will need a wall outlet plug adaptor, however. You can buy them at most AAA travel outlets, computer stores, or buy Apple's World Travel Kit.

I need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro. the driver installation disk doesn't work. where can i get a driver that will work? i use OS X

i need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro. the driver installation disk doesn't work. where can i get a driver that will work?

With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
System Preferences / Print & Scan
Click on the + button on the left column
Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
Type the IP address or look it up
Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
Click Add.
Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config.

You can just unplug the express and use the Uverse wireless or ethernet directly to it.

Need to use a specific windows keyboard shortcut on Mac

I need to use a specific keyboard shortcut for a program that I am running (via Parallels) but the same keyboard shortcut is used in OS X to take a screen shot of a window via dashboard, which takes precedence over the command I am attempting to use.
The keyboard shortcut in "Windows-Speak" is Shift-Ctrl-W. What are my options here? Can I deactivate that shortcut in OS X?

CrossOver is a program that lets you run some Windows software withhout installing Windows. The emphasis is on some. At their website Crossover rates the supported software on a scale from Bronze to Gold - if the program you need to run is supported at the Gold standard you will probably be okay. Silver and Bronze ratings means the rated Windows software will run but with glitches or even missing functionality. (Silver being better support than Bronze, obviously.)
Virtualization solutions such as VirtualBox (or the more capable and feature laden Parallels Desktop and VMWare Fusion) let you install another operating system (and software) to use at the same time as you use your Mac software. It is a nifty solution and while virtualization isn't quite as fast as running an OS totally native (BootCamp) the speed hit isn't all that significant and affects graphics rendering more than anything else.
I'm an IT instructor and software trainer and about 80% of this work involves Windows software. I do it using a Mac computer running Windows in Parallels Desktop. If it weren't for the Apple logo on my notebook no one would know I'm using a Mac - and the notebook in virtualization feels faster than the cheap Dell computers we use.

IPod needs to use less power

My iPod was on low battery level when I attempted to copy a few gigs of stuff of my Mac Mini to it.
After a few minutes, the iPod gave a beeping sound and said it was out of battery and disconnected.
Doesn't the USB supply enough power?
Would a firewire make any difference?

It is telling me that i need to reformate it for use on this computer so i am pritty darn shure i can´t just put the files on it like i would wen it would work like it suposed to work (and did work sinc i bought it in september)
Again. brok down so everyone hopfully gets what i am fighting with
1. I conect the iPod
2. the i pod tells me it needs to be reformated for use on this computer.
3. i reformate it.
4. it works just fine, i can put all the songs on it like i should be able to.
5. the next time i conect my iPod to the VERY SAME computer there is minutes of it only being the USB harddrive, than i get a mesage that i need to reformate it for use on this computer (wich, yes, like formating usualy dos, deletes all files)
help would be awsome becaus after 3 days of this i feel like having a creative jukebox would be better, and that should be telling you something sigh

Need help using WEB module in Lightroom 2 for .mac/mobile me accounts

Hello,
I need help in finding the Server path information for Lightroom 2. I am trying to use the Web module of Lightroom and build a website and instead of going through another hosting service, I want to use my Mobile ME account, can't I do that?
I have the user name and password obviously but what is the server path, protocol, path?
Help please!
Thanks
Ray

For those Mac Users using iWeb, MobileMe, and Lightroom 2, here are step-by-step instructions on how to create a web gallery in Lightroom, upload the gallery to MobileMe, and finally, how to link the uploaded files to the wesite you created in iWeb.
1. In the Lightroom Library module, create a collection of photos you want to display in your web gallery. For illustration purposes, we will call your collection Sunsets. Once created, it will be listed under Collections in the left panel of Lightroom.
2. Switch to the Lightroom Web module and select the Sunsets collection (from the panel on the left of the screen.)
3. Chose whichever template you like (from the list of Templates in the left panel).
4. Fine tune the appearance of the gallery using the controls in the right hand panel of Lightroom 2.
5. When you are satisfied with the gallery’s appearance, use your keyboard to type Command-S. That will save your template settings (give it a unique name when saving).
6. Open up Finder on your Mac. Inside your username folder, create a new folder… I'll call it Web Files. (You can choose any name you like, and locate the file anywhere on your Mac HD.) You have just created the folder username/Web Files.
7. Back in the Lightroom Web module, chose Export, at the bottom of the right panel, and export your gallery to the folder you just made (e.g. export to username/Web Files). By doing so, you will have created /username/Web Files/Sunsets.
8. Once again open Finder on your Mac. Go to /username/Web Files/Sunsets and you will see 3 files in the Sunsets folder: bin, index.html, and resources.
9. Open a second Finder window and in it, click on your iDisk icon. You will soon see all of the files on your iDisk.
10. In iDisk, click on the folder called /Web. You will now see the /Sites folder inside the /Web folder. I.e., /Web/Sites.
11. Drag the Sunsets file from your Mac HD to the /Sites folder on your iDisk. E.g, drag Sunsets from /username/Web Files/Sunsets on your Mac HD to the /Sites folder in iDisk /Web/Sites. The Sunsets folder (and the three files it contains) will now upload to your iDisk on MobileMe.
12. Open iWeb on your Mac. Add a new page to your website. Call it “Galleries,” or anything you like. (You can also use an existing page if you wish.)
13. On that “Galleries” web page (or on an existing web page), create a picture icon, or a word, or a symbol, or anything else that you will activate as a hyperlink to your iDisk web files - specifically, you will link it to the Sunsets folder you just uploaded to iDisk.
14. Activate the hyperlink in iWeb’s Inspector. In the URL box, type:
http://web.me.com/username/Sunsets (Don’t forget to substitute your name for “username” and the name of your gallery for “Sunsets.”)
15. Save your website in iWeb, and then publish your site.
You will NOT see your gallery in iWeb – you will see only the link to the gallery that you uploaded to iDisk.. To view your gallery, either make hyperlinks active, using the Inspector in iWeb and click on he link to the gallery, or visit your website on the internet. If you want to edit your gallery, you will have to do that in Lightroom… then repeat steps 7 – 11. You cannot edit your gallery in iWeb, but you can use iWeb to change the appearance of the link to your gallery, or to change it’s location within your website.

HT201359 Do you need to use a credit card to start iTunes and AppStore or can you just use a gift card?

I just bought my iPod and i need to enter billing information to make a purchase from the iTunes Store. Do I have to enter credit card information or will it work with just a gift card?

Hello, Rojelio16.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To create an Apple ID without a credit or debit card, there is a specific series of steps that have to be processed in order to allow the payment to be set as none on creation of the account.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
If the specific steps have not been processed, a credit or debit card will be required to complete the setup the account.
However, it can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance. At this point an iTunes gift card can be used as form of payment.

Need Help using Adobe PDF Converter to programmatically create custom PDF Files

We are upgrading from Adobe 5 to Adobe 9. In Adobe 5, we set a few parameters in the __pdf.ini file to create a document with a specific Page Size. For Example:
[Acrobat PDFWriter]
PDFFileName=
bDocInfo=0
Orient=1
bExecViewer=0
cpmarginwhole=18
cpwidepart=0
cpwidewhole=612
cpheightpart=0
cpheightwhole=792
Paper=0
Since upgrading to Adobe 9.2, this no longer appears to work. I have also tried adding these values to the following Registry Locations with no luck:
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat PDFWriter
and
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl
Is it still possible to create a custom page size using this method? Or am I going to have to do that in a different way?

PDFWriter was removed in Acrobat 6 - so anything related to it hasn't worked for a decade now.
The Adobe PDF Printer is (like many other drivers) a special case of the standard Windows Postscript driver, any changes you make to its settings will be found and used accordingly. So check with standard Windows docs on custom page sizes. You should also look at the use of a custom JobOptions file for the Adobe PDFPrinter as well.

After last maverick update macbook pro can't be shut down anymore - only by using the power button

Hello!
I hope that someone can help: after the last Maverick update I can't shut down the computer anymore - or restart. I need to use the power button. Furthermore several apps don't close when they are supposed to be closed - I always have to check with Force Quit. I could live with that, but not being able to shut down or restart the Mac is more than tiresome. Can anybody help?

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Justifications needed for using tags in JSP, Please reply

Hi forum
My question is to those java people who have also done JSP. I m sound in java server side (servlet programming), now I have asked by my project manager to do server side programming in JSP using tagLibraries (as these are used by those ppl who didnt have much java knowledge). I have worked inserver side java, then my question is y should I start working on tags,
On the other hand I can do all the work in java embedding in JSP (on some extent, seperated by diffrent helper/util classes to reduce the thickness of JSP page).
so I want to ask u ppl that should a java programmer needs to use tag libraries to code a JSP page, however he can code it in java directly.
I will feal great pleasure if u will write ur opinions and help me to ease my life.
thanx in advance
Best Regards
Tahir

You should use tag libraries whenever you can because:
1) They increase code re-useability. You can insert the same tag in many pages using just a few lines to do complex tasks, as opposed to writing a lot of scriptlet code in each JSP.
2) Enhance your ability to seperate logic from display. Everything in your tags is logic. Everything in your JSP is display - with the tags bridging the logic to the display.
3) Make the JSPs cleaner and easier to maintain. They read easier with tags than with a lot of scriptlets. Non-java people can be used to update the look and feel of the web page, or to debug the HTML later on, relieving the Java programmers for the tag work, or other jobs more suited to them.
4) Your boss said to do tags, so do tags.

2nd gen iPod touch - do I need to use Google calendar now?

I've updated my Mac to OSX 10.7.2 but I've not upgraded to iCloud, because I have a 2nd gen iPod touch.
As I've read Apple has not including calendars support for these, do I need to use Google calendar now?
I had Mac's for 15 years and even subscribed to MobileMe
If they're dumping my 2 year old bit of kit it's a poor show, I will keep it going as it still does a job for me, it's a shame I'll may have to move away from apple and I guess iTunes too.

That I know I've read that but unless someone comes up with a work around, before then, I'll move to google or yahoo calendars.
I'm Mac through and through, a total fan but like alot of people these day I'm having to cut back, yes it's nice I'm not paying the mobileme sub anymore but I can't justify buying a new ipod or stretching to an iphone.
Maybe I having to grow away from Apple.

I have an iPad 4 generation and just purchased my first apple cell phone. I am having problems figuring out how to sync the 2. I called Verizon and because my iPad isn't using the 4G it can (I just haven't needed to use it) the tech person can't do it.

I have an iPad 4 generation 4G and just purchased my first iPhone an Apple 5s. I need help synching the two. I have never needed to use the 4G Verizon option so Versizon tech said they can't do it and Apple needs to. But I no longer have Applecare and it doesn't yet recogniz my Applecare with my new phone (new yesterday). Anyone know the steps so I can sync the two and sync the Clouds then? Thanks

You cannot sync the two devices together. You can keep the two devices in sync by using iCloud and some of the available settings on both devices. Go to Settings>iCloud and you can turn on Reminders , Calendars, Notes, Safari Bookmarks, Contacts, Photo Stream, Mail, Keychain, etc.
You can go to Settings>iTunes and App Store>Automatic Downloads and turn on apps, songs, books and updates to keep all of those items in sync as well.
But why don't you explain exactly what you mean by syncing the two devices? What do you hope to accomplish?

I have an ipad also wifi at home. Would is needed to use my wifi connection while not at home?

I have an ipad also wifi at home. Would is needed to use my wifi connection while not at home?

You can't use your wi-fi connection when not at home. Heck, my wi-fi connection bales out halfway down the back garden. Many places offer wifi hot-spots. Go google. The only (relatively) surefire way to be able to get on the internet anywhere is to have a 3G capable iPad and corresonding data plan.
