I used to be able to choose print options with Firefox and now I can't. It forces me to use photo paper when I want only to use plain paper. I do not have this problem with Safari or IE, just firefox. I have an office jet 4500 HP printer

I should add that it's an HP photosmart 4280.I found it online and it shows the Mac 0SX operating system.

You will have to configure that with your router. Type your router's IP address in the search/domain bar and allow port forwarding.
What is requiring you to have an open NAT? That issue is usually for gaming consoles, etc.

There is no "adding" a device. Simply plug the iDevice into the computer. iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

You can't simply change the details.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

I just upgraded to a new MacBook and my wife is inheriting my old MacBook Air. How can I change the her MacBook Air to now be fundamentally hers? That is, so the House Icon under Users folder is her name and not mine? Also the default AppleID for purchase stubbernly remains my own.

You do not mention it, but I will assume you are running OS 10.9.1.
Go to: Apple menu / System Preferences / Users & Groups. Click the padlock and enter your password.
Click the + (plus sign) and set up a new account for your wife. You have to enter a bunch of info. And then create the correct Login Options. Automatic login does not require a password from the selected user.
When that is done, verify the account works by restarting the computer and login as your wife.
Make sure that any applications in your own Users folder that will be needed are moved to the Applications folder in your wife's Users folder.
Now go back to Users and Groups, click the padlock and authenticate, select your own account, and hit the - (minus sign). This step cannot be reversed, so you might want to wait a few days before doing it.
When your wife is logged in, the App Store will know.

Mac pro / Laserjet 4 / Os 10.6 - how do I make the printer work?

Hi,
I have a 2008 Mac Pro running 10.6.8 and an ancient yet still thriving HP Laserjet 4 that I was using over an ethernet/Jetdirect connection with my G5 for years - how do I get them to talk to each other?
I'm running the printer connection through a router, but the Mac Pro has 2 ethernet ports so I guess I can plug the printer in directly if that's simpler. The IP of the printer is 192.168.5.40 and I've tried setting it up with the "Add a printer" dialogue but can't get it to work.
I've read through a lot of posts and looked at a lot of Websites but I can't find step by step instructions for getting the computer to see the printer. I have Gutenprint drivers installed if that helps.
And - just to keep the discussiion concise:
- I know that there are better newer printers that I could buy for cheap, but that isn't going to happen right now.
- I know that 10.6 isn't the most recent OS
I'm hopipng for truly step-by-step instructions that even I can understand.
Thanks!

So maybe it's a problem with the printer's IP?
Yes. As far as your network is concerned, the printer is just not there.
You will not be able to progress until you assign it an IP address accessible to your LAN. Apparently it needs to be 192.168.1.x (a 1 in the place that is now a 5), where x = a large enough number that is not likely for router to assign to other equipment.
Your challenge is to assign the printer that IP address. Let's use the address 192.168.1.150.
HP's support pages for that printer and its Jetdirect card say, rather unhelpfully:
Using the front panel of printer
The IP address may also be changed using the front panel of the HP Jetdirect device. This method of front panel configuration varies greatly depending on the model of HP printer that is being used (consult the User's Guide for the front panel instructions for a particular printer). Click here to go to the HP Web site. Use the Search and search for Front Control Panel TCP/IP Configuration .
I did that and it didn't really get me anywhere, since there seem to be few if any references to the non- "MP" or "V" etc. variants of the original LaserJet 4. So, try to find a setting in the printer's front panel that bears any resemblance to "network settings" or "IP address".
If you are able to navigate its front panel to a place where you can enter the IP address 192.168.1.150 be sure to press GO or ENTER or ONLINE or whatever you think might make the setting "stick" after you enter those digits. Print the same test page you did before, and ensure its IP address has really been changed. Then, then try the ping command again, with its new IP address:
ping 192.168.1.150
If you are unable to determine a way to use the printer's front panel to change its IP address, you should be able to use Terminal to set it. This will get a bit cumbersome so use it only if you are unable to change the printer's IP address some other way:
Terminal is a program in your Mac's Utilities folder.
Locate Terminal and open it. At the command prompt, type the following exactly as written (copy and paste the following to avoid errors):
sudo arp -s 192.168.1.150 00:60:b0:91:21:e7
... and press Return. You will get a warning of impending disaster should you make a mistake, and requesting your Mac's Administrator password to proceed. Type your password (which will not appear as you type it) and press Return. Unless something went wrong the command prompt should immediately reappear as if nothing happened.
Next try the ping command again:
ping 192.168.1.150
You should receive ping responses from the printer as in my earlier example.
If you do, then congratulations because you have made it all the way to Step 1
You still have to add the printer in System Preferences > Print & Fax, using this new IP address, and make sure the Gutenprint driver works.
Edit: The reason your printer works with your old G5 running Tiger is that it is using AppleTalk for communication. AppleTalk doesn't exist in Snow Leopard. This is the reason you must use IP for communication on your Mac Pro. Your old G5 should continue to work with the printer as it always has.
another Edit: HP's support page alleges that the Terminal command arp above will only work with JetDirect firmware versions x.08.03 and later only. Yours appears to be A.05.05, so the front panel option may be all there is. If that does not work I have one more idea but it's an even bigger pain.

How can I change the print quality on a HP 6700 to draft (lowest quality) on a Mac OS X 10.9.3?

Hi,
I've tried many places to try to find where I can change the print quality (HP 6700). I don't want it to use so much ink, so want to put it at the lowest quality. I tried using the settings icon and the arrows on the front of the printer, and other options listed here. Nothing has worked.
Thanks,
Skinfrared

Hi skinfrared, welcome to the forums!
Try checking out the guide below for changing the print settings in a Mac. Choose 10.8 and almost near the bottom it will show you how to save the settings for future print jobs.

I upgraded to iPhone5 and I need to give my iPhon4 to my wife. How do I change the APPle account to her account?

it might be better to completely restore the phone. hold down both the home and power buttons at the same time as soon as the screen shuts off let go of the power button but continue to hold the home button and in a few seconds you will get the connect iphone to itunes logo connect the phone to the computer while itunes is open you will get a popup on the computer screen saying that itunes has detected a phone in recovery mode follow the prompts on the screen and you will have a fully factory restored iPhone 4

HT204053 I have changed my apple ID and I changed it via computer. When I just went to update my apps, my phone is still showing the old apple ID so I can't log in to update. How do I change the apple ID from my iphone?

I have successfully changed my apple id via computer. Now, how do I change it on my actual phone? I have the 5.1.1 iphone 3G.

I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.

How do I change the print orientation for PDFs with mixed orientation pages?

I'm sure this is a fairly basic and easily solvable issue, but I've been searching for a solution and can't find one for the life of me.
The issue: I'm printing a PDF that will be bound book-style, and the file contains pages with mixed orientations (both portrait and landscape). When I print the file, the landscape pages point the wrong way, to the left of the spine, when they should be pointing down to the right of the spine. I've adjusted the print settings for multiple test rounds, and nothing seems to work. Here's a visualization of the problem (apologies for the bad Paint art):
What the book is doing now when it prints:
What I need it to do:
Here's the caveat: I cannot just rotate all the landscape pages counter-clockwise in Acrobat for ease of printing, because it would remove the ability to scroll through the file quickly in Reader or a Web browser, and the same file needs to be both easily readable digitally AND print correctly.
Is this adjustment a print setting? Is this a tool I'm overlooking within Acrobat? Is this outside the scope of what is adjustable? All advice is welcome, and please feel free to ask any follow-up questions if I explained my problem unclearly.

If you are trying booklet printing, try to rotate the pages as needed before you print to the booklet. If you are print booklets without using professional imposition software, then Quite Imposing or Quite Imposing Plus should be considered. I believe they offer a demo version.

How do I change the decimal separator from a comma to a dot in numbers? I upload my bank statements into numbers and all contain dots. Numbers does not understand the dots.

Hi,
I am a recent convert from Exell to Numbers.
I have downloaded my bank statements to Numbers. The bank statement uses dots as decimal separators, whilst the Numbers default is a comma.
I need to change the Numbers format to dot to avoid having to manually change all in the downloaded spreadsheet.
This spreadsheet also includes my currency as R (ZAR Rands), so either need to remove these or get Numbers to understand it, again to avoid having to remove/change all manually.
Would really appreciate your help.

Hi,
Thanks for your response. Have figured it out with the help of Ross at the V & A Waterfront Apple Store.
System Preferences- Language and Region- at the bottom of the box click "Advanced"- then choose the dot/ comma under Number separators- Decimal and again under drop down box "decimal" under currency.

How can I change the dates on many photos with a fix time of say 20s?

Before it was possible to change the date on many pictures scanned by adddind a fix increlental of time.
How can I now change the dates on many pictures taht I have renumbered to keep the same incremental?

The seconds:
I just remembered - the time increment is set in Apple Script in seconds - the variable "minutes" is just a name for the value "60" and "hours" for "3600". Since "seconds" would have the value "1", there is no predefined constant "seconds".
If you want an increment of 30 seconds, simply write
set timeIncrement to 30
For example
on run {input, parameters}
(* copyright leonieDF *)
          set timeIncrement to (1 * hours) + (2 * minutes) + 30
(* select at least 2 images in Aperture *)
          tell application "Aperture"
activate
                    set imageSel to (get selection)
                    if imageSel is {} then
                              error "Please select an image."
                    else
                              tell (item 1 of imageSel)
                                        set imageDate to value of EXIF tag "ImageDate"
--set imageDate to get the value of EXIF tag "ImageDate"
                              end tell
                              repeat with i from 2 to count of imageSel
                                        set imageDate to imageDate + timeIncrement
adjust image date imageDate of images {item i of imageSel}
                              end repeat
                    end if
                    return imageSel
          end tell
end run
