I have a printer installed on other machine that will not add osx lion.

I have 2 machines - both running osx Lion
Laptop has drivers installed fro a HITI 510s printer - iMac does not. When I try to add drivers via software the drivers do not show up in System Prefs (print & scan) panel.
I can add the printer via Bonjour - but need to be able to print if laptop is off
Can I copy drivers from laptop to iMac?

Printer drivers are often stored in /Library/Printers. Check if there is a HITI folder here and if so you can copy this folder across. Then when you add the printer, in the Print Using menu you can select Other and then browse to this folder for the PPD.

  • I have a Mac OS 10.6.7 that will not activate the scanner option on a C7280 HP All in One Printer, Fax, Scanner - the Printer works fine but the scanner does not - any suggestions?

    I have a Mac OS 10.6.7 that will not activate the scanner portion of an HP C7280 All in One - prints fine  - but won't activate scanner.

    I have the same problem with an HP Scanjet 8250 and my Epson Stylus NX400.  I have reloaded allegedly updated drivers.  I have researched using SANE.  Neither scanner wants to work since the  OS X10.6 update.  I have found very little out there about this problem.  
    Can anyone help me make these bricks work?  Really would like a solution that won't cost me hundreds to replace the equipment. Thanks so much.

  • I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer.

    I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer. I have looked at the help sites and they seem to give directions to change files that people are saving in the future and not regarding past files. I am unable to change anything about the file including the name, so I can not change these past files from .m4v to something else which is deletable such as .mp4 etc. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

    Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting.  A phone can only sync with one library at a time.  You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced.  To know which you will have to provide the information.
    If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

  • I have a Novatel U998 Turbo Stick that will not run on Lion because it is designed for 32 bit. HELP

    I have a Novatel U998 Turbo Stick that will not run on Lion. Can Lion be run as 32 bit? If so - how??

    Lion includes a hybrid Kernel, as well 32bit and 64bit core OS. By default it will boot the 64bit part.
    press 3+2  keyboard combo on bootup. This forces 32bit mode for the Kernel ( the apps are still 64bit default ). 6+4 will force 64bit mode.
    The 32bit Kernel can load 32bit drivers ( kernel extensions = *.kext files in /system/library/extensions ).
    The 64bit Kernel will not load any 32bit drivers
    if a Application makes problems in its native 64bit mode, you can force it to run in 32bit compatibility mode by revealing it in Finder, "get-info" on the Apps Icon and checkmark "run in 32bit mode".
    No matter which kernel is booted, 32 or 64 Lion can always execute 32 and 64bit apps.

  • Installing a non-Host printer in a Virtual Machine that's not compatible with Host OS

    I have a printer (Canon i9900) that works fine under Windows 7 x64 (through a USB Print Server) but is "not supported" in Windows 8.1 (on a Surface Pro 3).  I have installed on the Surface Pro 3 a Win7 x64  virtual machine using the free version of VMWare, but have been unsuccessful in installing the USB Print Server (Arkview).   The (latest) printer driver seems to install, at least no error messages are displayed.   I have not yet tried installing the printer using a direct USB connection, since that is a sub-optimal configuration for my network.
    Am I spinning my wheels in thinking that what I am trying to do is  not possible.  If possible, do I need an upgraded version of VMWare to do this?  If I need a Host-compatible USB print server, any suggestions?  Most of the ones I seen do not indicate support for my (older) Canon i9900 printer.
    Thanks for any suggestions.  I'm just trying to extend the useful life of this (wide format, expensive-to-replace) older printer.

    Is setting the network to BRIDGED rather than NAT a viable solution?  Any configuration issues? Can I do this using the wireless adapter on the Surface Pro 3?

  • I have a Power Mac G4 running Tiger that will not open Classic 9.1

    I have an old Power Mac G4 Running OSX 10.4.11 that would run Classic 9.1. I haven't used the computer in a long time, but am trying now, and Classic will not start. I get no alerts, besides one that says "You have Mac OS 9.1 Installed. It's recommended that you upgrade to Mac OS 9.2" With "OK" as the only option. Afterwards it just goes to the start up screen for Classic and the blue bar doesn't move, but flickers. I have tried restarting, and all extensions are off. I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have any suggestions??

    You'll need to copy these files onto your computer in Mac OS 9 to be able to extract the 9.2.1 update, install it, and then the 9.2.2 update and install it:

  • I have a purchased song (Mexico-by Cake) that will NOT download to phone... says Download failed, try later...help!!

    I have iPhone 4, & one song will not download @ all. Says download failed, try later..... please help

    I am sorry that you don't find the answer to be correct. In THIS forum, telling you that you are in the wrong forum, and suggesting where to post for correct answers, or indeed any support, IS the answer.
    I'm also sorry that you purchased a phone that you are having trouble with. If the vendor cannot help you (HTC), and the eBay seller cannot help you, then you really do need to either follow up with the forums Ken suggests, or the HTC forum, or with eBay.

  • I have recently upgraded to 4.0. Worked great. I have other software that will not work with this new version. Where do I go to download "older" version until I can get this problem resolved? Thanks

    I contacted to tech support of the software and "they are working on it".

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • I have a Macbook and an external display that will not connect.

    I bought a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor from Apple but the Detect Displays under system set up does not recognize my external display.  The Mini Display port doesn't fit into the port on my Macbook with the Display printed above it but into "Y" port.  The picture on the package for the adaptor matches the ends of the adaptor, but they don't seem to fit where they should.
    Is that the issue or is there something else?

    Thank you.  I didn't know where to look for that information.

  • Since I have learned my late 2007 Macbook 3,1 will not support Mountain Lion, what is the best way to upgrade from 10.6.8 to 10.7 Lion?

    Can I download the latest version of Lion from Apple. I have heard that if I call Apple Sales support I can still get Lion from Apple. Lastly, what about Lion via the Thumb USB?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Correct. Call Apple to purchase OS X Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 If you want the OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, you will have to search it in Amazon or eBay. Make sure that the USB drive is white with a grey Apple logo.
    Then, make a backup of your data before upgrading, and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com After checking everything, you can upgrade to OS X Lion

  • I have 30  folders opened on my screen that will not go away. Finder is not responding. Please help, I have 30  folders opened on my screen that will not go away. Finder is not responding. Please help

    Greetings
    I am a new Mac user and I have a new Macbook Air.
    Currently, I have about 30 folders opened up on my screen. Finder is not responding and there is a multi-color disc in place of my pointer. Even when I try and press the power button, the shut down screen comes on, I press shut down, but it does not power down. When I enter my password, the folders pop right back up. Can anyone help me?

    Try holding the Option+Command+escape (esc) keys at the same time to bring up the Force Quit Applications window. Select Finder/Relaunch and see if that helps.
