Since installing lion my iMac and powebook can't find my printer

since installing lion my iMac and macbook pro can't find my printer (it is on the supported devices list and I downloaded the latest drivers).
I called canon and they stepped me through reseting my print system and reinstalling the print drivers and libraries but I have tried direct USB and via airport and the computers dont recognise the printer anymore. Just to be sure it was not the printer I tried to print from my iphone and that works...
I have changed the usb cable, changed usb ports and nothing can get the computers to recognise the device. Please help all advice welcome!

:-) here's an interesting link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#canon
Note: If you've haven't used Software Update recently on your Mac, please run it before connecting a printer or scanner to update your Mac's database on what software is available.
I would also do this after you plug in your printer. Apple might have updates for your printer.
there is Canon Software for lion. try uninstalling everything and starting from 0.
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/office_al l_in_one_inkjet_printers/pixma_mx860#DriversAndSoftware
I also read that if your printer shows up in your printer list before the appropriate drivers are installed, it might mess things up, if you plug in your printer and see it after cleaning everything you had done previously off, then try removing it from the printer list (don't just unplug it, delete the profile). And then install the appropriate drivers.

I have been download lion last night and it stopped. i tried again but APP Store show installed. How can I retry to install?

I have tried to install lion last night and it stopped by slow internet connection. I paid through App Store and i tried again today but APP Store show installed. How can I install again?

If you cannot resume the download, try to start the Installation Application in your /Applications Folder. If that does not work, delete the Installation Application and try to reload it. If that still does not work, contact Apple would be my best tipp

IMessage and FaceTime stops working in iMac after carrier change

Hi all,
I have done a fair bit of googling and had a look at the discussion history here but couldn't find a solution to my problem. Apology if it has been raised and discussed before and I woud appreciate being re-directed to the thread.
I have got iMessage and Face Time running smoothly on my iPad 2 wi-fi, iphone 4S and iMac OX 10.8.4. However, on the day of my changing carrier (17/09/2013), iMessage and FaceTime stopped working on my iMac as well as iPad 2. It can longer recieve or send messages or receive or make Face Time calls. All the settings looked the same - tick mark next to both my Apple ID email and mobile number, and conversation has always been set to start from mobile number on all devices. iMessage and FaceTime continue to work on iphone 4S without any issues. New sim card but same mobile number. I don't worry too much about the iPad. I just want to make it work again on my iMac and appreciate any help anyone can offer.
Steps I have attempted to make iMessage work again (I left Face Time turned off on iphone and iMac during this time)
0) I disabled/removed Bonjour (GTalk) in iMessage setting in iMac
1) I have turned off iMessage and FaceTime on all devices and swtiched iMessage only back on in iphone 4S first and then iMac. I got the message on my iphone that the iMac will start using the mobile number and Apple ID to send iMessages. However, iMac still fails to send or receive messages.
2) I have updated Apple ID on the web (removed the phone number, saved, and then re-entered phone number assoicated with Apple ID). Then repeat #1
3) I have tried changing "start new conversation from Apple ID email" across all devices - did not resolve anything
4) I have added a friend's Apple ID in iMessage on my iMac -mobile number automatically appeared and tick marks for both her mobile and Apple ID email but unable to send or recieve messages still while it continues to work from her iphone
5) I have also done a PRAM reset - I got the 2 chimes - did not resolve the issue
There's a clear trigger for this problem - change of carrier but I don't understand why it is affecting the iMac (and ipad) but not the iphone itself. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do about it?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
At the OS X 10.8.2 update things regarding the iMessages Account's login were changed.
It now requires that the Mac's Serial Number is held in the Memory for it on the Logic Board.
It can get missed in Refurbishments and Repairs.
This is used to generate the Auth-Token for your Apple ID in the Keychain.
Go to Application/Utilities and open Keychain Access.
In the Login Keychain look for "IDS: (Your Apple ID)-AuthToken"
Double clicking this will open the Info Panel.
Check the Access tab and make sure it is either allowing Any App or lists Messages, IMCore and those in this pic.
Although it is know that the Mac has to list the Serial Number it is not clear if other info is needed.
It is possible that it also refers to your Public IP address in some way, this would seem unlikely as most people's ISP issued IP address is from a DHCP server - you basically keep the same IP as you are "Always On" between the router and the ISP but it can change.
If it is not allowing access then change the settings.
There are also two .plists that contain the word imessages
One of these refers to the server you connect to.
com.apple.imservice.iMessage.plist contains the Info you have in the Preferences of Messages (Apple ID, Linked iPhone Numbers and any additional emails)
com.apple.imessage.bag.plist contains which server at iMessages you connect to.
I would try deleting (drag to Trash) the second of these and then restarting Messages.
If that does not work Quit Messages and delete the AuthToken for your Apple ID (if the AuthToken appeared to be allowing access above.)
Restart Messages.

Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and BBP

Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and MBP when I purchased them. When I look at the App Store, it dose not show ML as purchased (to download again) - do I have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
Thanks for your help.
Regards
NGI

do i have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
No. You can still make a bootable recovery DVD, but you will not be able to make a full bootable copy of ML without purchase.
1) Enable the debug menu for Disk Utility via Terminal Application. Navigate to terminal by typing "terminal" in spotlight. Copy the bolded text below and enter it into the command prompt:
defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool true ; open -a "Disk Utility" ; exit
2) From the Debug Menu > Select Show every Partition > Recovery HD should appear
3) Right click (control + click) the Recovery HD partition and select "Mount"
4) Right click again the partition again > "Reveal Recovery HD in Finder". Leave this window open
5) At this point, you will need open terminal again and enter the following command:
sudo chflags nohidden /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/BaseSystem.dmg ; exit
Type your password when prompted.
6) Navigate back to the Recovery HD finder Window > com.apple.recovery.boot > BaseSystem.dmg
7) Drag "BaseSystem.dmg" into Disk Utility's sidebar.
8) Insert your DVD
9) Select "BaseSystem.dmg" in the sidebar and hit "Burn"
Once the burn is completed, hold option down at startup and select the DVD to boot. This is a bootable Recovery partition, not a bootable copy of ML.
Note: to disable the debug menu,
defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool false

My old IMAC is a few years old. Just bought a new one OX 10.8.2. The old one is OS X 10.5.8. Can I install Lion or ewuivalent and then synch both on ICLOUD. Or is there another way to synch the two computers.

You can use Migration Assistant in Applications > Utilities to get all your files from one iMac to the other. If you want to upgrade your older model to MtLion you need to have at least a mid 2007 Intel Core 2 Duo with a bare minimum of 2GB of RAM. Then you need to buy the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD , update with
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
at which point you can access the App Store to purchase and install MtLion 10.8 where you would then have access to the iCloud.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder. This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher". I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.

I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder. This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher". I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.
I even pulled the dmg file into the Logic Studio folder in my applications directory and it still does not recognize it. What do I do now?

Niel: Thanks.
For others benefit, here is what happened.
I had installed Logic Studio 9.1 some time ago.......not knowing what all the programs were nor what they did, I created a "Logic Studio" subfolder in my applications folder and put all Logic Studio programs into it so I'd know where they were and could review each at my leisure over time.
My assumption now is that when the updater looks for the Logic Pro program, it looks only in the applications folder. It seems lame that it would not also look in the subfolders of the applications folder, but that apparently IS the way it works. Because my Logic Pro program was located in the "Logic Studio" subfolder, the updater just didn't see it..hence the error message I received when I tried to update.
Solution: I moved all the Logic Studio programs out of the subfolder and now they reside in the applications folder. Ran the 9.1.5 updater and it worked like a charm.

Tried to install lion on Macbookpro and getting a smart error message?

Tried to install lion on Macbookpro and getting a S.M.A.R.T error message, software up to date and enough free memory

Do you have the 10.6.8 (or whatever came with the machine) install DVDs?
If so you need to boot up with those and run Dusk Utility off the DVD. Check the S.M.A.R.T status at the bottom of the Disk Utility window when you have the MBP's disk selected. If the status doesn't say Verified the disk is on its way out its already dead. It needs to be replaced.
If it says Verified then do a Disk Repair on the MBP's disk. Note any errors you get and rerun Disk Repair until you get no more errors. If that doesn't happen the disk needs to be replaced.
All this cos I bought an iPad and wanted to use iCloud!
The install hasn't caused this. The disk was going no matter what. Its a good thing that you did the install and caught the error or else you might have lost your whole system.

Installing Acrobat on iMac and MacBook Air

I just signed up for the online version of Adobe Acrobat. I am having a difficult time installing on my iMac and MacBook Air. I got the "Acrobat 11" DVD to show up on my desktop. And "acrobatpro11_dim" shows up on my software list on the bottom of the screen. But I cannot get Acrobat to install. What do I need to do? Thank you.

Same problem with MacBook Pro
(Mid 2010 model, i7, 8GB Ram, Running Yosemite).
The .app file does nothing when you double click on it, except ask for the local computer password and put an icon on the dashboard that it is running. And it runs forever.
Did a reboot, followed the process again, and got the same result. (insanity, right?)
I have the Trial Version installed. It doesn't know it is now running under a license either.

I'm attempting to install snow leopard on my 2008 Imac and it stops installing less than 1/4 way through?

I'm attempting to install Snow Leopard on my 2008 Imac and before it 1/4 way done installing, it ejects the disc and restarts the computer. Is there something I am doing wrong?

See:
How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s).

Can't install Lion (Windows XP and Parallells 6 being used)

Hi,
This is my first post here, so please forgive me if I'm not too used to the forum habits. I've been checking the discussions before, but haven't been able to find anything that matched my case...
Let me explain it to you, so that hopefully somebody knows the solution and can share it with me...
I had Mac OS X (10.6) installed in my MacBookPro.
I had also installed Windows XP with Bootcamp in a different partition.
I had also installed Paralllels Desktop 6.
Everything worked fine.
Yesterday I decided to upgrade to Lion, and bought it in the Apple Store.
Before going ahead with the process, and as indicated by Apple, I upgraded the current Mac OS to the latest version.
I tried to install it, and after rebooting, when it was about 30 minutes to finish the installation, I got amessage saying that "MAc OS X can't be installed in the Macintosh HD hard drive, because a recovery disk can not be created" (translated from the Spanish message)
Then, I though that maybe it was some issue with Parallels Desktop. I checked their Fourms, and indeed it seemed that it could be the reason. I upgraded to the last available version.
I tried again, and got the same message.
Then I thought that maybe I had to upgrade to the last version also with Parallels in the Windows machine. I did so, and I tried again... and again it didn't work.
I don't know what else I can do... besides deleting the Windows partition, installing Lion, and creating a new partition, in which I should install Windows 7 (as Windows XP, as it is explained, is not supported in a new partition)
I followed all the natural steps to create the partition for Windows, install Parallels, etc. I mean that I didn't do anything manually then...
The only "weird" thing that I had to do when installing Windows XP was this one:
The Windows XP that I had was Service Pack 1, and Service Pack 2 was included in another CD... Of course that's not a problem when installing Windows in a PC, but gave me a lot of troubles to install it in the Mac. I found this solution in a Forum in Internet, follow the steps, and it worked:
(http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/running-windows-anything-else-your-mac/38166-wi ndows-xp-service-pack-2-installation-problem.html)
1. Click Start - Run - Type “regedit” and press enter 2. Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Setup] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\Software
\Microsoft
\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\Setup 3. In the right pane, Right-click and select New - String value 4. Name it as “BootDir” and set its value to “C”
Can this be the reason why I'm not able to install Lion now?
Anyway, and whether it is, any solution (simple, if possible, please! ;-> ) to install it?
(Buying Windows 7, deleting the partition, etc. seems very nightmarish to me)
Thanks a lot in advance!

KB Parallels: Virtual machine stops working after upgrading to Mac OS X Lion

I installed Lion this week and my life is over ..

when I try to use PowerPoint in Lion for inserting a file into the presentation it now crashes. how do i fix this?
when I try to charge my iPhone in Lion it does not charge and its not the cable, it works for itunes. how do I fix this?
and I NOTE THAT I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF A JOB HUNT AND LION IS A BIG PROBLEM HERE as the iphone is needed. the cable that came with the iphone that I purchased all together in box, was shredded in about 3 months of normal use, first, the tiny white rubber piece at the end of the wire (almost immediately), split in middle, then the whole wire covering started to slide out from the little split part, and next the wires started to slide out, and one came loose - all very dangerous, I could have been electrocuted by the bare wires ..... since I needed a new charger cable immediately to use the iphone, and purchased a new USB charger locally, so I wouldn't get electrocuted I did not even bother to contact APPLE to complain or ask for a new one and handled it myself and used my new cable for about 3 years until today when it is suddenly incompatible, not supported even though it is in perfect condition.
(in addition the original headphones had the same problem, and those were replaced under the warranty still in effect at the time).
My son who is also on my iphone plan, is mad about other iPhone compatibility issues I wont get into here, tells me to get us ANDROIDs and stop using Apple. He says this is intentional as they dont want me to use non-APPLE products and that, that is why my charger cable stopped working after i installed Lion ...... IS THIS TRUE?
ALSO - When I try to use PhotoShop nnow it does not even open. how do i fix this?
As I am stuck with my MAC, I have no way to get a new computer, software, or new phone package - not rich
AND
I am SO MAD THAT I INSTALLED AND PURCHASED LION, can any of this be fixed????
Thanks

With regard to PowerPoint, what version of MS Office do you have? Is it crashing, or refusing to open? If the latter, and you're seeing a message about not being able to open PowerPC software, you need to upgrade MS Office. The same applies to Photoshop.
Sounds like there's something wrong with your system. What that might be, I don't know, but you can try some of the suggestions in Understanding upgrade nightmares. (Note that my pages contain links to other pages that promote my services, and this should not be taken as an endorsement of my services by Apple.)
Your son's comments are - no offense - nonsense. MS Office works just fine with Lion, as long as you have a version newer than 2004. Recent enough versions of Photoshop should also work just fine. Apple does not have a problem with you using non-Apple software or hardware. If they did, they would quickly go out of business.
If you cannot afford to upgrade your software, you'll need to downgrade to Snow Leopard. See here for instructions:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3525616
Note that in the future you should check compatibility of all your hardware and software with any new system before upgrading, and you should never upgrade at a time when having your computer accessible is critical. Things can always go wrong when upgrading to any new system.

Help! Installed Bootcamp on iMac and now I can no longer access my Mac OS!

Hi ALL,
I'm hoping someone can help... I installed Windows 8 64bit on my 27" iMac and downloaded all recommended drivers. However, now I can only load the Windows partition.
I've tried restarting my computer and have pressed 'option' when restarts and the only harddrive option available is EFI Boot and if I click that it just loads Windows 8.
I've never used Bootcamp before and I'm slightly concerned I have somehow wiped my Mac OS off my computer. As I type I am on Windows Internet Explorer - it's a dark time!
What I'm asking is how do I get my mac hard drive to appear / my mac OS to load back up and not windows?

You will need to reinstall OS X:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
