    I'm trying to install a SSD Hard Drive on a MacBook Pro as the original one has failed. How do I install the Operating System onto it?
    I've read that you have do it through System Recovery

    New disks Do Not contain Recovery partitions for OSX, your advice is incorrect. Check before you post next time.
    The OP's machine may need to be reinstalled from discs rather than recovery, but without knowing the age of the Mac that is a guess.

    Trying to install Creative Suite 2 premium on my MAcBook Pro. its telling me its not supported

    It means what it says. It's simply old software that doesn't run on contemporary Macs. You need to come up with something else like buying a current version or joining Creative Cloud.

  • Installing Canon PIXMA MG3170 to my MacBook Pro (OS 10.8)

    I'm trying to install my new Canon PIXMA MG3170 printer to my MacBook Pro. I am aware that the bundled software isn't compatible to OS 10.8, and after endless research through this community, I came across several solutions.
    I installed it via IP address with HP Jetdirect - Socket protocol and used Canon MG3100 series printer driver. Apple was able to found the software update required for this version and the supposedly latest printer driver is installed. But the following message pops up:
    "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. Unable to communicate with the printer at this time."
    HELP ME! spent 2 hours of resets, deleting .plist files, etc.
    This is how the screen looks at the moment:

    But the 10.8 printer driver is available from Apple via Software Update. And looking at your screen grab you already appear to have it installed.

    You cannot add the printer in this manner. The driver does not support this type of connection, so that is why you are getting the error message. If you want to use HP Jetdirect-Socket as the protocol then you would have to use an alternate driver, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab.
    For the Canon driver, you must add the printer using the Canon IJ Network protocol. When you click the plus button in Print & Scan to add and have the Default view selected instead of the IP view as you have shown above, does the MG3170 appear in this view? Usually its scanner component will appear first, showing Bonjour in the Kind column. If you wait several more seconds, the printer component should also appear, showing Canon IJ Network in the Kind column. Do you see this?

  • Canon PIXMA IP8720 to my Macbook Pro

    I recently connected a Canon PIXMA IP8720 to my MacPro running OS/X Yosemite 10.10.2. As much as I try, I cannot get the printer to product prints of photographs with the correct colors. The colors are way off. I've tried to coordinate the color profiles of the Mac, monitor and printer but to no avail. I have the same printer using a wireless connection to my HP Desktop running Vista and have been able to coordinate the color profiles to the point where the prints are coming out reasonably close to what I would expect, but the quality is not there yet. Since my most current photography software is on the Mac, I'd like to get that working ASAP, but can't find any good documentation that talks to the color profiles supported by OS/X or how to approach setting up printer interfaces correctly. Where can I get this information? Any input that the community could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Barbara, Thanks very much taking the time to respond to my posting. Your input and directions were just what I needed.I accessed the print settings in the pull down menu, setup the print options including the color profile for Elements and the Printer to sRGB, and printed my picture. This resolved all the invalid color problems I was having, but I did notice that there was a hint of magenta overall in the picture. I had read an article that said to use Canon Color Matching instead of Color Sync to prevent that but I couldn't make that change in the pull down menu. I tried in the Presets dialog box but that didn't appear to be possible. Should I make that change as well?
    Also, in my travels through Elements 13 I notice under Edit->Color Settings that there were options for No Color Mgmt, Optimize for Screen, for Printing, or ability to chose one or the other (real time I assume). How do those options fit into this scenario?
    Thanks again

  • Trying to install Sims 3 from disc on new Macbook Pro

    I've had the Sims 3 on CD ROM (for Mac and PC) for a few years and recently upgraded from an old white Macbook to a new Macbook Pro (the non retina display one). I pop the disc in and click install, but it always freezes on "Installing 3 out of 237 files" and never moves. It says "about 17 minutes" but won't move even 40 minutes later. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get this thing to work?

  • I am trying to install a Canon Pixma MG8220 which requires my Airport Extreme password. I do no know it. I then  went to default Airport settings and renamed my network, but Airport required my password. How do I create a new password?

    How do I create a new password for my Airport Extreme if I do not know the old password?

    If you have the Mac that you used to configure the AirPort Extreme originally, you may be able to retrieve the password from KeyChain Access.
    See this User Tip from forum expert Tesserax:
                     AirPort - Regain Access from Forgotten Passwords
    If still no luck, you can reset the passwords again. Pay very close attention to the information about a Soft Reset in this Apple support document:

  • Canon Pixma Printing from a Macbook Pro using Windows XP Home machine

    Using my windows xp home machine as a print server. I have a Canon MP480 printer
    Installed bonjour on the xp machine.
    Installed the printer and drivers.
    Shared the printer on XP.
    Installed the driver on the MacbookPro.
    Added the printer using Windows print sharing.
    Prints to XP machine so that the print job shows up in the queue on the windows machine.
    Printer starts to get ready to print.
    It never prints.
    This is a common printer because they give it away at the Mac store when you buy a new Macbookpro.

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Usually when you select to add a Windows shared printer (Add Printer > Windows) you get prompted to enter the Windows user name and password. After entering this information you will then see the printer share name. If you are not getting prompted for account information after selecting the sharing computer then your Mac may have cached or saved a previous account used on Windows. Since you mention Guest for a previous attempt, maybe this is being used by the Mac and if that is now disabled on Windows then this could be a cause. So check your Windows accounts to see if the Guest account is still enabled.
    The other thing that you can do is open Keychain Access on the Mac and look at the 'login' keychains. Your details for the connection to the PC could be saved here so you could delete this entry and then try adding the Windows printer share on the Mac again.
    Once you do manage to see the printer share there is another matter that you need to be aware of. For some printers, the vendor created printer driver does not work when connecting to a Windows shared printer. For these types of connections you need to use either the Gutenprint or PrintFab driver suite.
    Gutenprint is preferred because it is free a version is included with Mac OS X 10.6. The one major issue with Gutenprint is that very new models of printers are often not included with the latest release. In this scenario it is necessary to try to find a compatible model for the respective vendor, but this can use a large amount of ink and paper before achieving a successful result.
    So this can force you to use [PrintFab|http://www.printfab.net] and the creators do a very good job of keeping up with new model releases. There is a cost involved with the software (€49) but there is a 30 day trial so you can at least test that it works.

  • HT201364 I have tried to download OS X Maverick on to my MacBook Pro. Here the error message I received "the product distribution file could not be verified. It must be damaged or was not signed. Can I still used the computer for others projects?

    How can this error be corrected?  "The product distribution file could not be  vverified. It must be damaged or was not signed. So can this error be repaired? I have read good things about this updated software. I really looking forward to enjoying the benefits of using OS X Mavrick softtware in my daily life.
    Another question can I operate laptop with other project while it is downloading?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Trying to install my Canon LBP 2900, tried answers here, still does not work.

    Updated to Mavericks.
    Trying to install my Canon LBP 2900. Mac book pro early 2011. I followed Klaus's instructions, restarting after each step. I can add the printer, the capt 3.66 Uk shows and installs.
    Also added the Lion patch: Library-printers-canon-cupscapt-profile.
    When I try to print the print status icon shows then closes. No documents show in queue. 
    Thanks!

    You might want to update your profile. It is showing 10.6.8.
    Are you running 10.9.4? If not, try running the combo update.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Although you managed to "hack" Boot Camp Assistant and you can create a Windows USB installer, you will not be able to boot from the USB drive and you will get a nice "No bootable device" screen after restarting your Mac.
    Apple has set up Boot Camp Assistant in order to show the option to create a USB installer only in Macs which support it. In the case of the MacBook Pro, only MacBooks Pro with Retina display support that option, so you are out of luck. You need Windows on a DVD.

  • Cannot install Master Collection C6 (Student) on my MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install my C6 Master Collection to my MacBook Pro (Lion O/S)..I've already installed this disc on my IMac.
    yet I've tried several times to install the program on my laptop (of which I'm allowed to) and I keep getting a "The product you are trying to install is not an Adobe Genuine Software and appears to be counterfiet" Please report piracy or contact customer support for assistance"
    Now firstly this is a nonsense as the software disc was purchased via an Education Software retailer..It's an official disc and I have my verified key.
    I've rebooted, tried a serial number install, a trail install, cleaned disc.checked my drive (it's ok plays music cd's fine)
    I need to use this software on my laptop when I'm away from my home machine..it's frustrating to have this occur. Was wondering what I can do to install the Master Collection cs6 without getting the above error message..basically i want a successful install. hope someone can help..

    Yes the installer is the same.  But you will want to use this link instead http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=master_collection&loc=en_xap.
