Just upgraded to Mavericks. Now I cannot access scans from my hp scanner. After it complete the scans and I try to save as tiff, jpeg or pdf I get a either a grey blur or a message that says cannot save because the file cannot be written to.

Just upgraded to Mavericks. Now I cannot access scans from my hp scanner. After it complete the scans and I try to save as tiff, jpeg or pdf I get a either a grey blur or a message that says cannot save because the file cannot be written to. I did not have any problems before the upgrade. I would greatly appreciate any light shed on this.

Go to the HP site and look for drivers for your scanner. It apparently needs an updated driver to work with Mavericks.

"Smart Groups" in Address Book not syncing to the iPhone

"Smart Groups" in Address Book not syncing to the iPhone
Normal Groups sync but smart groups do not.
Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix?
Thanks.

This same concept applies to syncing two macs via .Mac
The method I use for iPhone is this.
Define your smart group as needed.
Define a read group with a similar or convenient name.
From time to time drag your whole smart group to the real group.
The real group is the one that then syncs to your iPhone.
As a safety factor, I usually clear all entries from my real group before I drag over the updated smart group.
Anyway, this is simple and works well.
Hope that helps.

Unable to sync contacts from iPhone to Address Book...works the other way

I am unable to have changes on my iPhone reflect in my Mac's address book. For example, I would delete a contact on the iphone, but it stays there in the Mac's address book after sync. The worst part is that now on subsequent syncs, the contact is never added back to the phone or deleted from the computer. I am able to create as many contacts as I want on the phone and sync them to the address book, but just not delete modify them.
Creating/deleting contacts in the address book works.
So far, I have tried:
1. Resetting the sync history.
2. Replacing all my iPhone contacts with those in address book.
3. Unselecting and reselecting sync contacts from iTunes.
4. Archiving my address book, deleting everything in it, syncing, and then repopulating it.
5. Restoring my iPhone.
None of this has worked, and I am close to pulling my hair out. I just fixed issues with the new Safari bookmarks sync, and now this. Can anyone please help me fix this issue? Any help would be appreciated.
This is what my console looks like:

PS: Restoring my iPhone messed up the name in iTunes. Any way to get back the name I had earlier?

Thanks for the idea of looking at the Console. I've created new contacts on my MacBook and my iPhone, but neither is syncing to the other, in fact a new contact group I created in Address Book doesn't even show up in the list of groups in the Contacts sync window in iTunes. Here's what the Console says every time I sync:
3/28/08 2:45:54 AM AddressBookSync[315] AddressBookSync (client id: com.apple.AddressBook) error: Exception running AddressBookSync: CoreData could not fulfill a fault for '0x1a02fc0 <x-coredata://2123D5A6-CBBA-4900-B49B-0DDF0F8195A8/ABCDPostalAddress/p68>'

Drag and drop from mail to address book not happening

Hi guys, I can no longer drag email addresses from Mail into Address Book. The address just bounces back. I've repaired permissions, installed the latest security update, repaired permissions again, rebooted twice. Any ideas?
Mail 4.5. Address Book 5.0.3 (883). Mac OS 10.6.8. MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB Ram, 666MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

Hi mbriscoe, I've since upgraded to Lion and the same downgrade of functionality exists. I can no longer drag and drop an address from Mail into Address Book. I now have to click name, wait for menu, select Add to Address Book, go into Address Book and find the name I just added, then drag the name into the specific group I want it to be in. It used to be very useful, the drag and drop, in an "it just works" kind of way. Now it's not.

Address Book notes field adds the letter 'n'

I have just started to notice that Address Book is randomly adding the letter 'n' within a contact persons note field. See attached example above 'AUTUMN VEGETABLES'......Has only starting since the move from MobileMe to 10.7 and iCloud.....

I get this too! Frustrating. I'd thought it was from quite some time ago. Perhaps even with Snow Leopard, but I can't be sure. I'm still getting it on Mountain Lion and I'm pretty sure that it was happening before iCloud when I was syncing with Mobile Me. I can't figure out if there's a way to search for it to clean it up becuase the search would yield any record with an "n" in it... The cleanup would be for naught as there are always more random n's. However, I have not noticed the n's returning to a particular contact as if there is a particular issue with that contact. Anyone else? I wonder if this has to do with some third party software that we're all using... Any thoughts anyone?

Import .txt (from Excel) into Address book not happening

I am attempting to import a .txt file (exported from an Excel file) containing 5000 contacts with email and phone details. In the Import dialogue I can map the columns to the Address Book properties. When I press OK the button stays blue (highlighted) for a few seconds but no import occurs. Not even the card being previewed.
What am I missing here? (Bit urgent too)

I had the same problem. I saved as tab-delimited in excel, closed it but upon import, address book would hang (spinning wheel or no response). So, I reopened the .txt file in Numbers instead, got rid of any strange lines, saved again as .txt. Then, I imported it into Address book and it was fine.
To see whether it had to do with Numbers or Excel, I reopened the .txt file in Excel also, did the editing out of strange lines/cells again, and imported into address book again without problems.
Seems like a really dumb hack, but it worked for me. I had 62 entries (address book always stalled at 5).

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again.

HT4061 iPad screen is frozen due to a pop up from I cloud which is not getting erased...any suggestions ?

iPad screen is frozen due to a pop up message

I'm guessing this pop-up is saying that you have not backed up your iPad recently...reset your device as detailed below to gain accessibility to your iPad again.
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

AUDIGY SE PROBLEM - WENT FROM LOSING AUDIO TO NOW NOT EVEN RECOGNIZING THE C

Hi there,
I recently bought the Creative Soundblaster Audigy SE Soundcard and installed it. Things were going well up until today. I was listening to music and the audio from my Winamp suddenly started stuttering. I then rebooted and thought nothing of it. After the reboot, there was no sound at all and when I tried to open a song with Winamp the song would stop after like 2 or 3 seconds - I could tell this by the timer on the Winamp stopping, as there was no sound. Anyway, I was puzzled by this so I decided to uninstall the software and reinstall it. I uninstalled the software, but when I tried to re-install the software it would crash at like 80% of the install and reboot and then tell me that I had recoved from a "serious error". Sigh ... So then I had a look around my settings and noticed that it was saying that there is no soundcard detected for the software to install for. So I powered down and took the card out and replaced it in another PCI slot. Now it won't recognize the card at all, even when I change PCI slots it won't recognize the card anymore.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Having the same problem with my Li've 24-bit. The card has been working fine for the past couple of months and today I noticed no sound. When I checked no sound device installed. I've reinstalled the drivers several times including down loading new dri'ves still no luck. any idea how to fix.

Bonjour !
What can I do to retreive a new life with my Adress Book ?
The search is going with "upgrading index" without ending !
Thrashing the Preferences com.apple.addressbook plist doesn't make any better.
Merci.

Have you since solved your problem Jo?

How to hide some contacts from Yahoo's address book?

I have recently acquired the iPhone 5 and am very impressed with it. I like the idea of using contacts from the iPhone, iCloud, GMail and Yahoo and linking them together in a unified contact, very cool idea!
The problem that I have is that I have some contacts in my address book in Yahoo that are there just so that messages from those email addresses are not bounced to the Junk folder. I want to keep them around but I do not want them clogging up my iPhone.
I can delete them from the iPhone but does this delete them from my yahoo account as well or is there a way of just hiding them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That is a cop out, there is obviously a need to have unified contacts otherwise Apple would not have gone to the trouble of providing the feature in the first place. The hole in the feature (in my opinion) is that it assumes that every contact in Yahoo, Facebook and GMail are equal when they are not.
I have a workaround but it is not pretty, I created a dummy entry and linked every email address that I am not interested in to this contact, so they are "hidden" as such in a single entry. The problem with this approach is that it takes a long time to get everything in the unified contact (lots of scrolling), also, there is no way of managing this through iTunes (on a PC in my instance).
Bottom line is that it is a pain (you said that it would be) but there is no real alternative unless anyone else knows otherwise.
