I can't print on my HP Photosmart C309a from my new Mac book air

I bought a new mac book air and with the new version system iOS X 10.9.1 I can´t print. I try to add it as a printer and it posts, ¨Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.¨. Is there anything I can do???

Hi gachy1,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand you are unable to install the printer on Maverick.
I will be happy to help you.
I have provided the URL for setting up the printer with the Apple Software Updates.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Make sure when you add the printer it shows the printer's name and not Airprint.
(you might have to click the dropdown to select the printer's name)
This document shows you 3 different ways you can scan on the Maverick.
How to Scan: OS X v10.9.
Hope this resolves your issue.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a good day!

I have a new mac book air and somehow iPhoto was installed twice. Also, a second library was created and it became the default library. I attempted to switch to the original library but it won't open. what can I do to revert to the old library?

I have a new mac book air and somehow iPhoto was installed twice. Also, a second library was created and it became the default library. I attempted to switch to the original library but it won't open. what can I do to revert to the old library?

Both iPhotos open to a default library (#2) which has 300+ photos, I attempted to "switch to library" under the file tab in iPhoto and tried to choose "other library" which had most of my photos. When I attempt to open it, it doesn't do anything. I can see it and there are 2 libraries but it won't open.
Have you tried to open your old iPhoto library by double-clicking it directly, instead of using the File menu? That should work, if you are running iPhoto '11 and the library has been created by that version or an older version. DO you get an error message, if you select the library directly in the Finder?
I checked and it is the latest version of iPhoto.
Is it iPhoto '11, version 6.0.5? "Latest version" is ambiguous, because it will depend on your system version.
Where is your iPhoto Library stored?

HT1338 my new mac book air can't mirror but my ipad can

my new mac book air can't mirror with apple tv but my ipad can. How do I fix this?

It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition. Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot. Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot. If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that. Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML. If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work.
At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD.
An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again. However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

Can I upgrade my iMac (10.6.8) with the prepackaged Lion on my new Mac Book Air?

In August I bought a new Mac Book Air prepackaged with Lion OSX.
At home I have an iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Since I purchased a copy of Lion prepackaged with the Mac Book Air, is there some way I can use my Mac Book Air copy of Lion to upgrade my iMac?
Or do I need to purchase a copy of Lion specially for the iMac?
I live in Japan, so it's hard to get clear English advice sometimes!
Thanks

You need to buy a copy for your iMac. The version that comes with your MBA cannot be transferred.

My new mac book air will not show old emails. how can i fix this problem

my new mac book air will not show old emails. how can i fix this problem

The answer depends on a number of factors, such as the following:
If you have more than one email account, does this problem affect one, some, or all of your accounts?
Where did you last see this mail -- in your Inbox(es)? in some other folder(s) outside your Inbox(es)? somewhere else?
How old is the missing email -- yesterday? just before you got the new computer? over a week? over a month? over a year?
How are you reading email -- with the builtin Mail application? with some other mail-reading application? with a web browser?
How do you access your email on the server -- IMAP? POP? Exchange? web browser? other?
What version of OS X is on your new computer -- Mavericks (10.9.x)? Mountain Lion (10.8.x)?
Did you migrate your data and applications from your old computer when you set up your new computer?
For example, if the missing mail is the mail that was in your Inbox before you got the new computer, you are reading it with the builtin Mail via POP, and you failed to migrate data, then the mail was left behind on the old computer. The same would be true if the mail was in "On My Mac" mailboxes and you failed to migrate data.

Printing photos on HP photosmart C309a from Lr in Windows 8 OS

I am unable to make the Lr 5 to print on my HP photosmart C309a. Previously I had Lr 5 running on my PC with Windows 7 and I was able to use the same HP printer to print both from the main tray and photo tray. Now I cannot get any photos from Lr printed, while the printer does print a test page ok from Device Manager.
Timo

In the drivers section I did select HP and C309a and in the device manager it states the unit working properly.
I believe I had also visited HP's download site and downloaded their driver for W8 for this printer, but will go through that step one more time.

How can i get my nikon software to work on my new mac book pro with lion

can anyone help me get my software installed
i need this software to work immediately because without it i am unable to work that is the programs on how i process my photographs and without it i cannot make any money
thank you

That seems to be supported only up through 10.5.7 and probably needs Rosetta for it to run.
Rosetta is not included in 10.7.
If this is the case, you may need to partition your hard drive, install Windows on it, and use that partition for your work.

I can't get past the password grey screen on my new Mac Book Pro.

I have a new Mac Book Pro. I transferred info from my old computer, and when I went to log into the new one, it took me as far as the password screen, and I can get no farther. I click on my name, put in my password, and it jiggles...as if it is wrong. News to me - as I used the same password that I have used for years on my computer.
I get a message that says, "If you forgot your password, you can reset it using your Apple ID." There is a little arrow there, but when you press it, the message disappears, and nothing happens.
There is a guest profile set up, that apparently has a mystery password in it as well.... I am locked out of my new computer. Very frustrated!!!

How can I sync my Iphone to a new iTunes account on a new Mac Book as no longer have the old Mac Book and im unable to use the same Apple ID, I want to sync music to my Iphone from my new Mac Book, new Mac Book and iphone in same Apple ID???

Basically, my iphone has been in the same apple ID as my dads iphone and mac book, so my iphone has always been synced to his macbook. I bought myself a mac book the other day and want to sync my iphone to it. However i have obviously put my mac book in a different apple id as i know pay for things i download myself, how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it? ive now put my iphone into my new apple id thinking this might help? ive also tried clicking 'manually manage music and video' but this doesnt seem to work, it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

Can't print color to HP Photosmart 7520 from MacbookPro

I have been unable to print color to my HP printer from my Macbook Pro. All prints come out in black and white regardless of what program they are printed from. It it not a printer problem as I am able to print from my iPad in color. Running OS X 10.6.8. Any ideas?

Have you checked out all of the settings on the printer to make sure that you don't, somewhere, have Print as Grayscale ticked? I know that's an option for my Canon and I have several printer settings setup to print in grayscale on a variety of media and sizes.

How can I get my music from my ipod to my new mac book air??

I bought a new macbook and can not figure out how to move my music from my ipod to the new computer?

Hi.
You will need some sort of third-party software to 'drag' your music out of your iPod.
In order to make sure people don't use their iPods as giant portable disks to share 1000's of songs, they haven't made a function to extract your music from the device.
As said, you'll need some sort of software to do so.
I hope this was helpful.

HT204053 how can i sync calendar and contacts between my iPhone and new Mac book pro?

I use an iPad and iPhone to maintain my schedule and contacts. I just purchased a Macbook Pro...how do I sync info on my other devices with my Macbook?
I have a current iCloud ID...
Would the info from the calander on the iPad automatically "push" to the Macbook, if i have everything configured properly?
Thanks

Yes,
you need to Sign Out of the wrong Apple ID - lower button in ICloud under system preferences.
Otherwise you cannot change the current Apple ID
Then you will be able to put a new apple ID and sign in.

How can I import Nikon D7000 NEF files into Elements 9 on MAC Book Air ?

I have downloaded the DNG 6.5 converter as suggested, but the NEF files appear in Elements 9 as blank grey boxes. These NEF files open in the same Elements 9 on my PC with Windows 7.

Thank you for your reply. I have tried the update as suggested. A complete failure.
Rebooted the computer many times and each attempt says that the update failed.
Checked my registration for multiple computers - all okay.
This is completely frustrating...

New mac book air CAN NOT install win7 ?!

I just bought new mac book air (1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 )
Try to install win7, when go to win7 installation interface, the mouse and touch pad doesn’t work. ( I did try USB mouse, same).
BUT
I use same usb on my old mac book air ( 1.3GHz ) it works fine.
I called apple, a very nice lady tell me i should call Microsoft, because if mouse and keyboard works fine in MAC system that means the hardware is fine.
Is somebody have some idea about this ?
Thanks a lot !!!

If this is a 2nd hand Mac, some of those apps were free to the original purchaser, the Apple ID you saw, but they are paid apps for you.
