I cannot install a Canon MX420 printer to my Imac. It will not show up in the printer preference bar

I am trying to install an all-in-one printer CanonMX420 and the printer is not showing up as a printer option. At a loss

Have you downloaded latest drivers from Canon web site ?
Have you tried setting the printer using its IP address ? (you can configure it either from the web interface embeded within the printer or via the config screen)
Mine is just showing up in the preference pane. My only issue (after having setup vuescan and removing it) is that I can not access it using default interface. I have to use VueScan and nothing else...
But i's working fine.

I book text boxes that are not used will not show up in the printed book?

If I don't want to use all the text boxes for my printed book will the outline be printed anyway?(black background with white text box) I assume there is no way to turn the captions off.
Many thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
Which theme and layout are you discussing
In general text boxes do not show in printed books - however they must have something in them - at least a single space
But some clearly show up - in the travel theme the layouts that have text blocks that look like a torn piece of paper or a post card will of course print
Always preview your book and verify the resulting PDF to see what you rfinal book will look like - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
And usually I can find an alternative layout with no text

Canon MP210 just will not show up in Add Printer

Trying to help a friend get new (to her) printer added in OS 10.5.8... There isn't even a network involved, just trying to add it as simple USB.
It's a Canon Pixma MP210 and wasn't in the printer descrips, so i downloaded and installed the most recent driver for it from Canon, which is noted as good for 10.5 etc (and is CUPs to boot).
its Installer runs just fine... but printer still does not show up in Add Printer, despite restarts, printer attached, not attached, whatever. printer is not in list, "Print Using..." shows no options, and "Add" is greyed out.
The printer itself was never used by its former owner, it's like new, so it's not likely broken.
i attempted to repair permissions, and ran into no-go there too. It sticks on acquiring the database, doesn't even get to a progress bar (let it run for almost an hour, no change). Same thing when i start it up/run repair permissions from retail OS 10.5 DVD.
And this on a smallish (60GB) hard drive that has barely anything on it ....she mostly just websurfs and emails. Tho the finder is a bit slow, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the mac (it's an iBook G4) and it passes disk first aid fine.
Suggestions?

Any idea why Permissions Repair doesn't progress, neither from hard disk nor from DVD? From other posts i've researched here, repaired permissions apparently allowed some canon printers to show themselves.
If Repair Permissions is not completing then something would be amiss with the OS. But I've never a repair permissions resolve a printer not appearing in the Default browser view. It could certainly fix an issue with the printer being seen but the driver not being found. But for the printer not to be visible in the Default view when it is connected to the Mac via USB, then I don't believe a permissions repair will resolve this - especially also if the printer is not visible in System Profiler. Personally I found a reset of the printing system rather than a repair disk permissions to be more helpful.

I cannot send or receive SMS text messages and my number is not showing up in the 'Recieve At' location..how do I fix this?

I just bought and activated a new Iphone 4s and I cannot send or receive normal SMS text messages. Also, my number is not showing up in the "receive at" location. Any help??

Beyond that... since you state you've tried all "recommended fixes" have you actually restored as new and not from your backup?

HT3500 I cannot connect Macbook (OS 10.6.8) to Epson XP 400 wirelessly. It works when connected to a USB cable. Both printer and Mac are on the same network and Norton/symantic is OFF. The Epson will not show up in "add printer". is off.

I cannot connect my Macbook to Epson printer XP 400. Both are on the same network and Symantic anti virus is disconneted.
Add printer does not find the Epson. All works when I use the USB cable.

Further information on my question about the epson wireless printer and macbook.
It seems that the epson xp-400 works wirelessly only with 802.11n wireless network not with 802.11g or earlier.
Does anyone else know about this. I read it on the epson support site for epson xp-400.
Also epson xp-400 will not work wirelessly if it is already connected to a computer with a USB cable.

Cannot Install Snow Leopard 10.6 disc on Macbook Pro (will not boot disc)

Hi there,
I have a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB of DDR2 SDRAM. It is currently running Mac osX 10.4.11.
I am trying to install a snow leopard disc 10.6 but when I click on the disc and hit install, it restarts the computer and tries to start it up with the install disc. This is where I get an apple logo with a spinning progress wheel that doesn't go away until I force the laptop to power down.
Can anyone tell me how I can resolve this issue?
Thank,
Caleb

Double check to make sure your computer meets all the qualifications for the Snow Leopard upgrade. Especially check out the "Upgrading from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger" section in the right column - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
Your disc may be damaged. You can always take your computer and the disc back to the Apple Store. See if they can boot.

After resetting all plug-ins a recently installed plugin no longer works and will not reinstall. It will not show up in the add-ons depsite saying it installed

I recently had to reset my plugins using Firefox 12 in safemode to get rid of an extension/add-on causing a redirect problem. All has been well, except a plugin I needed no longer works. It is called "missing-e" and is for Tumblr.
I have tried reinstalling it at least 5 times, per their instructions, and am now here after they said it was a browser issue. I do get prompted to install it to firefox, I have it install, I get the message it was installed correctly - but then it never shows up in either the Extensions or Plugins area under Add-Ons area (though nothing ever shows up in Extensions). And the features it enables in tumblr are not enabled.
The 'missing-e' people sent me here saying they believe this is a browser problem.

Are you talking about plugins or extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) as you mention Safe mode?
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.

HP C3180 will not show up on printer list or set up assistant??

When I try to add my new HP C3180 all in one printer, it will not show up on the printer list, or in HP set up assistant, and searches for new drivers fails to bring up any printers. My G4 does not seem to recognize the C3180 printer. Looked for updates to software and there are none. HP says I have the latest software. Uninstalled, and reinstalled HP software several times, still will not show up on the add printer list so I am not able to configure it. Previous Deskjet 970CXI printer is also missing which is OK if C3180 would show up. Anyone with any ideas? Thanks.

If you are unable to print wirelessly, the comments below enabled me to print via my Airport Extreme. Just go to the "Print & Fax" system preferences, and 'add' a printer, then follow these instructions:
-You can print using bonjour in a roundabout way. Wireless printing will work if you select "hp photosmart p1000 g-print beta" in the printer browser under the "print using" option in the print and fax control panel. If you choose this option, the computer will think it's hooked up to a p1000. So it will work with airport express!
This advice was in the customer reviews section of the Apple Store for this printer, where a lot of people were complaining that they couldn't print wirelessly.

My downloaded text sounds do not show up under the sounds tab in settings after installing 8.1.1. can someone help me please?

i downloaded a couple text tones and since installing 8.1.1, they will not show up under the sounds tab. in fact, they do not show up in my recent purchases on itunes, but when i go to buy them again, it says that i have already bought this tone. I just want to use the tones i paid for as the tones on my phone. not asking much.... thanks for the help. i hope someone can help me get the tones working. thank you.

This was happening to me too but only for some of my songs. I have a mac so I dunno about PCs, but for most of my ringtones I had to create an ACC version in itunes to make them short enough then turn that into a m4r and those all worked fine. But if the song was already short enough and I didn't create an ACC version and just turned the original into a m4r, then it wouldn't appear in my itunes.
so if you're on a mac:
1. go to get info, options, pick when you want the song to start and end.
     Has to be pretty short to work, 30 second or less is good
     if it's already short enough that's fine
2. right click and click 'create ACC version'
     a copy with the length you put in will appear, drag that into a folder or whatever and just type in m4r where m4a would be
     still make an ACC version even if it's the right length
Hopefully this helps someone else.

My Macbook Pro will not find or use the downloaded driver for my new Canon Pixma MX479 wireless printer

I have been fussing for hours with a Canon Pixma MX479 printer I received as a gift. The printer was obviously designed for PC control, and has terrible instructions for setting up the wireless capability, but I finally found a few hints online about how to add a WPS printer to my Airport Extreme, so I can finally detect the printer. However, when I try to add the printer, either under System Preferences or while just doing a print, my MacBook requires that I download a driver from Apple to use it. When I attempt to do that, I get a message the driver software is unavailable from Apple and that I should contact the manufacturer for the driver. I have already downloaded and installed the Mac OS driver from Canon twice, but my MacBook apparently can't find it. So I am forced to use Airprint in order to communicate with the printer. I would like to use the proper software to make sure I am accessing all of the features the printer offers. Can anyone tell me how to associate the downloaded driver with my printer when I am attempting to add it?

Hi Dwntso!

Cannot get printer to print with my iMac but will print from my dell laptop?

cannot get my printer to print with my imac but will print from my dell laptop?

OK, well you haven't provided any information so there isn't anything we can do. What is needed at the bare minimum is:
Exactly what printer are you referring to?
How is it connected to the iMac (USB, Wi-Fi, etc...)?
What steps you have taken to connect the printer?
What errors you have run into.
What I would recommend is using Apple's Printing Overview OS X Lion to learn how to install it. Also take a look at Printer and scanner software for Snow Leopard & Lion to see if it's even compatible with Lion.

I just bought a new printer for my iMac version 10.7 but I am able to install the software but for some reason I am not able to view the printer under system preferences to add the printer. It is connected with the USB cord!!

I am not able to select a new network printer just installed at work to print to from Firefox. I have tried to reset the printer settings, but this did not work. Do I need to map Firefox to this new printer?

We recently had a new printer installed at work that has been set as the Default printer on my computer. When I go to print something from Firefox, I am not able to select the new printer from the printer window in the print box. The new printer does not show up

From another computer, go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/, click "Free download" button, click "Save File" button, select your flash drive in "Save as" window. "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" file will be saved in your flash drive.
You just need to insert it in your new computer and double-click on "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" from Windows Explorer and follow instructions.

I cannot install a previously purchased app without paying for it again. I am using the same apple ID. I cannot figure out why the system is requesting me to pay for this app a second time.
