Kernel panics are usually hardware.
Hold down 'd' key and it should boot into Apple Hardware Test, or insert your OEM install DVD to do so.
No, we are mere users and mortals and usually you need to do some troubleshooting by trial and error and testing. Schedule an appointment.

I am trying to get my computer to print on HP C310. It was working fine until 2 days ago and then stopped printing. I thought I could uninstall the HP software and download it again comes to find that I cannot now use the disk supplied with the printer.

I am trying to get my computer to print on HPC310. It was working until 2 days ago and then stopped working. I uninstalled the HP software thinking I could just reinstall and it would help but I cannot now install that software from the disk. How do I go about getting the old software I had on the computer and how do I get my computer to print. It gives my messages that it cannot find the printer or printer unknown.

Your operating system, Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6), does not support AppleTalk. Instead, in Snow Leopard the HP 4000 series printers need to be set up to communicate via IP.
Go to System Preferences and open the Print & Fax item. Is your printer listed in that pane?

I can't open firefox. The home page doesn't come up, I just keep getting the Crash Reporter asking to restart/quit but every time I do this the same message comes back.

I can't open Firefox. The home page doesn't come up, I just keep getting the Crash Reporter asking me to restart/quit but every time I do this the same message comes back. I've not been able to use Firefox for days now.

Since a few days we have a lot of crashes with [http://www.trusteer.com/product/trusteer-rapport Trusteer Rapport]. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the crashing. 
You can stop Rapport using Start Menu > Programs > Trusteer Rapport > Stop Rapport 
You can ask their helpdesk when an updated version of their product will be made available or, if you don't need this software, uninstall it. 
http://www.trusteer.com/support/en/report-problem 
If you do not have Rapport, then we need to have a crash report ID. When you send Mozilla a crash report it just puts it in a giant database. We have no way of looking it up without the Report ID. I have no idea what is wrong without looking up the crash report. Please get the Report ID of your latest crash report.

Every time I touch my Iphone 4s a box appears around whatever I touch and Siri talks to me and tells me what I am touching. I have to double click everything for it to work and restarting it won't fix the problem

Every time I touch my Iphone 4s a box appears around whatever I touch and Siri tells me what I am touching and I have to double tap it to bring the app up. It also won't let me scroll up or down and scrolling sideways is difficult.

I upgraded to itunes 10.7.0.21 and now every time itunes starts it crashes within a few seconds!

I upgraded to itunes 10.7.0.21 and now every time itunes starts it crashes within a few seconds! I have uninstalled and re-installed and I get the same! I am running windows 7 64bit. The error window sais the fault is " KERNELBASE.dll". I also installed on a test PC that has a trail version of Windows Web Server 2008 R2 and the exact same thing happens...
Now I have no PC to sync to and no music/movies.... Any ideads??
Many thanks...

I had the same problem. New iPhone 5, had to install iTunes 10.7 on windows 7 64 bit. The install worked, but it crashed immediatly after startup (no window, nothing.) I tried repairing the install, and still nothing. When I read the post above, I saw that it was Quicktime related, and remembered I was also prompted to upgrade Quicktime too, which I chose NOT to do. So I went back and upgraded quicktime.. and VOILA.. it WORKS. iTunes now runs, and I'm in the middle of restoring my old iPhone to my new one. (fingers crossed)

I have iDVD 6, every time i start up the program it automatically quits, why does it do this?

im trying to make a movie and every time i start up iDVD 6 it just quits about 30 seconds after i start it! please some one help me

Hi
What version of
• iDVD 6 -----> 6.0.X ?
• QuickTime ?
I know that
• Mac OS X.4.11 and iDVD 6.0.4 and QuickTime 7.5.5 works
But for Mac OS X.5.8 - I guess that QT 7.6 would work with iDVD 6.0.4

Every time I start Firefox, the Sync preferences say I have to set it up on my desktop and my Macbook.

I have set up Sync at least five times on my two devices (iMac and Macbook Air). Each time I launch Firefox, I'm prompted (in Preferences) to set up Sync again, which I do using the same Sync Key, username or password. No matter what I do, these Sync preferences are not saved, and I'm not able to keep the two devices synced. Is there something I'm missing?

There's a glitch in my words with friends app that causes me to continually loose sound. Problem is every time I re:download the same app from iCloud I get the recurring problem. Is there anything I can do here? Pls help because it's driving me nuts!

Words with friends app has a glitch where I loose sound constantly, so every time I re:download it, I'm having the same problem as its the same faulty app from iCloud.

I'm not seeing that problem with Words with Friends on my iPhone 5 with iOS 8.3. Check your sound settings.
Try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
See here for more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252

Thanks for repling '''TheOldFox'''. ...''"A database of malware and phishing sites known to Google is maintained in your Profile folder. "''...
I did deselect and disable those phishing and malware updates to see if they were the issue. I was trying to experiment, if it would still call back to Google.
Apparently Google is trying to maintain this for "web security" and developers of Firefox work together to code the browser so it checks at a pre-designated site. After one connect, the list of malicious, bad and ominous web sites are put like a data file in our profile for each browser. The browswer already has the last 20k to 30000 bad websites in it, and so there is no need go back to Google at browser-start, to check or refresh this list at each start-up (especially if the end user is only going to browse the same websites the day or hour before).
I can understand going back once a week, every three days or once a month (after the first contac), '''but at each point of start-up, it is not necessary. '''
'''Traditionally, end users are give the option to do this on their own.''' I would like this option restored if possible in Firefox browser. Why does Firefox and Google try to deprive the user of this choice? I makes it run like spyware runs, by causing users to go and report to Google, each time they start their profile/web-browser.
I have always thought, programs that did this without announcement, or giving users a choice (even under a banner like "national security," or "for your own good"), were just as capable of giving a false information to get the users to not care if they are being spied on.
TheOldFox, I have read your reply and do not wish to be disrespectful, but you are almost like that happy insurance salesman who is trying to warn of a flood, even 8000 feet above sea level: When talking with the majority of people, 92 out of a 100 might live at sea level or in flat valleys under a mountain run off; a big storm drops a lot of water and all the creeks rise out of their beds; widdening the rivers soon thereafter. But for the person living above 8000 feet, that water is usually rushing down so fast that it channels and carries itself away quickly. [[(They have no need for flood insurance and to pay that extra for prevention, because their house is built on a big rock. But the salesman cannot see that when talking to a large group, and always has to try to sell the flood-insurance package; and it is up for the buyer to refuse to buy it.) This is to say, you may be a good salesman but I know how to express no, in a nice and polite way.:D]]
'''It is a type of spying on users of the web-browswer, because it does not give the user a choice and does not announce what it is doing.''' Nor does it explain what it is doing (in user docs) after you disable those options even as an experiment, and it is still "phoning home" ...
So why does it still do this, to Google? Why does it not go back to firefox or mozilla?
I am guessing, it has something to do with monitoriing what each user is using in the way of add-ons, so that developers can keep tabs on how popular an add-on is.
My questions is still open. I want to learn how to stop this from occuring ('''at each and every start up'''). Please help.
{{{TheOldFox, I will read those links and see if that helps and post back here later. For now question is still open. Thank you. }}}

I just down loaded lion and now every time i turn on the computer every single thing i had used in the last session opens up--how do i stop this?

I just loaded lion on my macbook pro, and everytime i turn on the computer, every thing i did in the last session, like word, instant messanger, sites, pop-up-how do i stop this and just get to my desktop when the computer is first turned on--please help!

Remember that you can just put your Macbook to sleep by closing the lid. Unless you're not going to use it for a few days this makes more sense than shutting it down. I sleep my MBP overnight and it uses about 3% of battery power. I only shut it down if I install updates.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.
