Issue with appletalk, can't reinstall printer, help!

Hi all,
Right now I'm having an issue with my older laser
printer not showing up. It's installed, but when I go
to print, I get a message that AppleTalk is inactive.
So I go to the networking area and lo, the AppleTalk
is indeed active. What is one to do now? Any
suggestions?
How are you connected to the printer? Are both of you on a wired net, or both on a wireless net? If the computer is connected via wireless, is AirPort set to do AppleTalk, or is Ethernet set to do AppleTalk? You gotta have the right one set up.
It was running fine previous to some issues with my
modem and router, but those have been resolved. The
printing won't even occur now with a direct
connection, so I've kinda got lost here.
What kind of router do you have? Does it do AppleTalk? Are you and the printer on the same subnet? (That is, if the computer has an IP of 192.168.0.x, does the printer have an IP of 192.168.0.y, or not? If 'not', you're on different subnets and you cannot print to that printer if the router doesn't do AppleTalk.)
Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

My iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each one upon reinstalling the backup copy? Thank you for help

Almost my iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. (the last 2.5 weeks worth of added music has transferred post-upgrade, none of whcih was bought from iTunes)
I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each playlist upon reinstalling the backup copy? This would save a HUGE amount of time and efforts. Thank you for your help!

hi Limnos,
I do not mean the entire ITunes folder but, rather, the contents of the ITunes folder prior to September 29th. (90% of the media is missing, along with all playlists) The media that remains says it was added on 9/29 although I know most of it was added many months or even years earlier. There are no playlists listed at all, before or after 9/29. (I know for certain that I added non-iTunes purchased songs on 10/6 although I had not created playlists for them)
I have my iTunes folder backed up on both an external drive as well as Time Machine.
I run iTunes off of an ITunes folder on my computer rather than from the external, if that's what you mean about how I have it set up.
Is it OK to drag the entire iTunes folder from the external drive onto my laptop's drive and see if that fixes it?
Thank you for your help!

I have a new iphone6+ and have paired it to my 3 cars. When playing music from my iphone, the volume is very low and I have to turn the car volume to max to listen. I had no issues with previous iphone parings. Pls help.

I have a new iphone6+ and have paired it to my 3 cars. When playing music from my iphone, the volume is very low and I have to turn the car volume to max to listen. I had no issues with previous iphone parings. Pls help.

Sorry if this is too basic or confusing
Apparently in iOS 8 there are different volume settings for different applications
The setting on the home screen does not carry over to Pandora for example and it is different ( or at least appears to be) for the in-car experience.
So I would try to stream the music when not in the car - see if you can turn the volume up and then try again in the car
Please let us know what happens
Thanks

I'm having a few issues with Safari, can anyone help?

Hello, all,
I'm having a few annoying little issues with Safari at the moment, hopefully someone can help and it'll be an easy fix, but I'm stumped at the moment.
1. Every time I close and quit Safari it freezes and I have to 'force quit' the app. Not the biggest of problems but it's a little annoying.
2. Once I open Safari back up it reloads with whatever window was open when I quit, even if my Mac has been turned off.
3. Safari is eating up a lot of my RAM at the moment. 'Activity Monitor' is telling me it's taking up between 2-6GB of Memory.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Try a basic Safari reset.
Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items. Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

Weird issue with Windows Server 2008 R2 Print Server

I have an issue with Windows 2008 R2 (VMWare Hosted) running Windows Print Server.
Prior to a small network change, the print server was working well, hosting about 80 different networked printers from various vendors.
We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers). The DNS servers never quite worked right and broke AD authentication to different servers, and was just a mess.
After rolling back we are not able to keep the printers online. If we ping them from the print server, the printer(s) never wake up, when a print job is submitted. If we ping them from one of the access switches, they work fine (until they fall back asleep),
to prevent this, if we start a ping on the server AFTER waking them up from the Switch Ping, they stay online and no problems.
If we stop the ping, they fall back asleep at some point, and again, won't wake up without intervention/switch side ping.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any tips on how I could possibly resolve it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your description, the issue seems to be that the printers can't keep online. Sounds like a power managerment issue. Why these printers fall into sleep? Have you consulted this issue with the manufacturer of these printers? Do these printers
fall into sleep if them lose the contact with printer server? Have you tried to reset the printers?
>>We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers).
DNS client will cache the recently queried records. If the DNS server has replied with a wrong records, communication issues will occur. To clear the DNS cache on a Windows device, please run the command below:
ipconfig /flushdns

Issue with running Lexmark Prestige Pro805 printer with iMac running 10.3.9

Thought I'd share this with you in case anyone else runs into this problem.
Recently bought a Lexmark Prestige Pro 805 printer to service a home network. Had no issues with the printer using 10.6 on MacBook Pro, 10.5 on Intel iMac and also running on Laptop with Windows XP all running off same network via USB connection into a Time Machine.
However when tried running this off an iMac PPC using 10.3.9 although I could print after initial install subsequent prints after logging off and on hit the problem of "Unable to read CUPS raster data".
Lexmark driver updates and firmware updates failed to fix issue and contacted Lexmark who advised me to do a complete uninstall and re-install but to same effect. They then determined this was a CUPS issue and I should contact Apple. Looked on this forum and found a message posted in Nov 2005 which suggested doing a disk repair off the original install disk in order to repair corrupted CUPS directories (simple to say after 6 years - where exactly did I put those disks?).
Anyway did this and indeed both permissions and disks needed repair and it fixed the issue.
As it took me a while to get to the answer hopefully by posting this if anyone else comes across this issue they can save some time!

Thanks for posting your solution. May help another Mac user in the future.
 Cheers, Tom

Issues with Yosemite, can I downgrade to Mavericks or Mountain Lion and downgrade Apple Apps to work with older OS X

Hi
I am having several issues with Yosemite, mainly disappearing folders (title / name) but no folder or more importantly no previews of .mov or other video files nor unable to open them. I have years of these files that I want to edit in FCP X.
I have upgraded all my Apple apps so they now work in 10.10.2, but I want to revert back to Mavericks as a second partition for video work.
Is there any way I can reinstalled an older OS and downgrade my Apple apps like FCP X and Aperture so I can open, edit and produce dvd / bluray of these files.
Thanks in advance
Matt

Thanks perermac87. I'm can make a second partition on ssd for mavericks as plenty of space, but final cut x 10.1.4 I have now needs Yosemite to open. So how can I also download older versions of my apps from the App Store?
urbkuhl I live in the uk with fibre too and downloaded 10.10.2 in under 10 mins

Having issue with Airport Express and Itunes - Please Help

Ok, I am having a very odd issue with my wireless music network all of a sudden, and it's driving me nuts. I have searched the forum and I don't get the sense that anyone else is having this issue.
My house consists of multiple machines, but I have my music on two computers - my G5 desktop and a Mac Mini. I am in the process of encoding all of my CDs to Apple Lossless for storage on the G5, and access of this library provided to all machines on the network (6 total including the G5).
I have 2 airport express units in the house, each connected to a stereo. I have been using this setup for about a year or so, with no problems.
Suddenly now, when playing music wirelessly, the music (and I know this is going to sound weird) has intermittent popping, will skip alot (like a CD player skips), and seems to almost speed up during the skipping. It is SO weird, and I have no clue how to fix it.
I am mainly confused as to where the issue could be coming from. Is it the airport network? Is something wrong with Itunes? Something wrong with the machines? Interference in the home? B/c I have not had this issue before, I am not sure how to even troubleshoot it. I do know that until about a month ago, I had none of these issues.
Within the last 30 days, the only changes that I made were that 1) I have been encoding files to Apple Lossless (but I had some of these before with no streaming issues), 2) I purchased a Mac Mini (not sure what impact this would have), and I upgraded to the latest Itunes.
Any thoughts you can provide for me are very appreciated. ***** to finally be setting up this music server and now start having wireless music issues. Thank you in advance for your help.
Eric
G5 2.5Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I'm also suffering from skipping/sped up music, only when streaming certain internet radio stations to my Express (for example, friskyRadio in the electronica section). Mine's setup not to distribute IP addresses, if that's relevant.
Other than installing iTunes version 7 (now at 7.0.1) nothing has changed on my network, or on my computer.

Issue with dialog boxes in Designer, please help

Hi,
I'm having a problem with designer the last 4 days. It was working fine before.
Any dialog box wants to open, I can not insert tables, edit properties, etc.
I'm using Designer 11.5.0.0 with SP3 update, I reinstalled every thing, but it's still not working.
Does someone know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance,
Marcela

Hi,
The issue is resolved, but I don't know what caused this error.
I uninstalled the java components and BO then I deleted the BO folder under program files, then I deleted all BO entries in the registry.
Finally I reinstalled everything except the service pack and that finally worked. I don't know the cause of this error.

Marcela

Prinitng issue with CS5 and Epson pro3800 printer

CS5 will not hold printer driver settings after leaving driver setup screen. Eg., after setting ICM and choosing Adobe RGB color space and icc profile from menu, when you click OK, Adobe screen reverts to Photoshop adjusts colors and not printer adjust colors as it should. If you change the setting manually, when you renetr driver setup, it now shows 'no color management and not ICM as it should. This does not occur with CS3 or 4. Any help is appreciated.

I don't have this problem but i can tell you printing out of CS5 is a mess nothing works the way it should....check out my forum i started... right now i just chucked cs5 and went back to cs3

Sudden banding issue with Mac and new Canon printer, already called tech

Good morning fellow Elementites.
I have been using Photoshop Elements 12 on my MacBook Pro 13 inch, running Maverick OS, printing to HP Photosmart Premium all-in one with no banding issues, ever.
I did want to upgrade my printer and monitor so I purchased the Canon Pixma Pro 100 and a new external LG IPS monitor to view the PSE program.
I also purchased ColorMunki Display to calibrate the monitor. Everything is operational with the recommended settings for color etc.
I printed a .tiff image and a .jpg through the PSE print function. The images that looked perfect on the new monitor and Macbook monitor printed with banding. I called Canon tech support. The man had me perform a few tasks to make sure the printer was operating correctly. We printed test sheets from the printer and they were all as they should be.
He the said he NEVER prints from PSE. He edits in PSE but prints using Canon's EZ share or print or whatever it's called, doesn't matter cause I do NOT LIKE IT AT ALL. Not to mention it is just another step in the work flow. Not to mention that I paid good money for a photo editing program of high quality and I want to use ALL the features.
He said the problem isn't the printer but the printing software instructions TO the printer via the Mac OS printer system, or something like this is what he said. He also had me download some other updates and driver files. He then had me remove the printer from my printer list and then add it back.
He then had me print the .jpg image, (it only prints .jpg which is annoying as heck,) and it came out SO BEAUTIFUL I ALMOST CRIED
I want to print this quality THROUGH PSE. Does anyone have a clue as to what to do to resolve the issue? None of the suggestions in other threads from the past seem appropriate enough.
Eager to hear,
Regards.

I have returned home and have copied down all the settings so that I may post them here before I do any more fiddling. Maybe something glaring will be spotted before I start changing things.
I opened an image in PSE 12.
I chose from the PSE menu at the top of the monitor, FILE >PRINT
A window appears with my photo and boxes and such: 1. Select Printer> CANON PRO 100-SERIES (The other printer isn't concern now).
Select Paper Size and Orientation, no problems with this or any of the other settings in this window.
I then select MORE OPTIONS button at bottom of window.
Another window opens.
There are 3 options listed on the left hand side PRINTING CHOICES which it is automatically on, CUSTOM PRINT SIZE which I haven't needed yet, and COLOR MANAGEMENT.
I select COLOR MANAGEMENT.
COLOR HANDLING is set to PRINTER MANAGES COLOR.
IMAGE SPACE is listed, not in any box, as sRGB IEC61966-2.1
PRINTER PROFILE is listed in a box that is grayed out and not selectable, as CANON IJ COLOR PRINTE...
RENDERING INTENT is set in a selectable box as RELATIVE COLORMETRIC.
(There is a little mssg below all this that reminds me to remember to enable color management in the printer preferences dialog. I was never able to find this action and after doing some research I read that this mssg is a boo boo as the function is automatic in MAC running Maverick, supposedly).
I then click OK and the box goes away.
I then click the PAGE SET UP button.
A window titled PRINT opens.
The Printer selection box says CANON PRO=100 series.
The next box always confuses me because nothing in the list appears to pertain to me when I want to print my photos. It is the Presets box.
I believe FAST PRINTING ON PLAIN PAPER is always showing when I open this window. But I don't want that so I always look to see if there is something I should choose that applies. I don't know what they mean by DEFAULT SETTINGS in this case. LAST USED SETTINGS would be ok if that was what I wanted each time I printed. FAST and FINE on Plain Paper? I have been assuming they mean plain copy paper so I don't choose that. SAVE CURRENT SETTINGS AS PRESET, I don't choose that because I haven't been sure of the settings. And the SHOW PRESETS does me no good becuase you can't change anything in there.
PAPER SIZE, not an issue at the moment.
LAYOUT button is my next stop, by now I am exhausted
I look at COLOR MATCHING which shows CANON COLOR MATCHING as the selected method. (The other choice is COLOR SYNC but I don't know anything about that one and haven't been told to change it.)
PAPER HANDLING & COVER PAGE, N/A at this time.
QUALITY & MEDIUM. I choose my paper type, paper source, print quality which for my photos I select HIGH. I don't touch COLOR OPTIONS because that is scary looking. And BORDER and MARGIN I have no issue with.
I then hit SAVE and the window closes.
Then I select PRINT in the lower right of the window that has my photo in it and from which I acessed all these other things.
Phew. So, can anyone tell me if they see anything wrong here, PLEASE.
Regards,
P.

Terrible Quality issue with MPEG 2 (DVD- encode plz HELP!!!

Hello,
I edited something short in FCP 5 and wanted to make a DVD but the resulted mpeg-2 file has grabage all over. Not just square artefacts but a lot of problems like an old VHS maybe (but it isn't video noise either). It's more like a DV tape that would be ******.
I tried to recompress in DV and the resulting quicktime .mov file is fine. But every time I encode it in any of the DVD presets it is terrible. Also tried MPEG-1. Same.
As for the 2 pass encodes they crash my computer...
Please help Obi-Wan Compressor you are my only hope.

If you're running some flavor of Compressor 2, then try using the One Pass setting (but not the One-Pass VBR setting) at 6.5 Mbps. If you're still having issues, other things to try:
up the One Pass bit rate to 7.5 Mbps
Alter GOP to Open (from the default Closed)
Alter GOP structure to IP (from the default IBBP)
If I'm having issues with Compressor 2's Two Pass encodes, I can usually save my hide with a One Pass 7.5 Mbps Open IBBP GOP encode. If that doesn't work, Plan B is to do a One Pass 6.5 Mbps Closed IP GOP encode.
Or are you using Compressor 1?

Issue with Multithreading and vertical scroll bar - help needed to debug!!!

I have been working on a desktop Visual Studio 2010 application for quite a few years. It is written in C++ and MFC. This code is a combination of code I have written and code I inherited. It worked great for years on Windows XP, but when I ported
it to Windows 7, a tricky problem has come up that I am having the darnest time trying to figure out
In summary, it is a single .exe desktop application. There is the main thread (thread A), which launches another thread (thread B). Both threads share a pointer to a single window object which displays events. This window also implements a vertical and horizontal
scroll bar.
The interaction and message processing between the threads seems a little sticky to me. Both threads A and B call the same member function of the CWnd object. BUT, Thread B ALSO posts messages to thread A's queue.
So, in thread B, you will see code like this, which makes a direct call to the output window object, AND THEN it also posts a message to Thread A's mainframe window like this...
if( m_pEventLog )
pOutputWindow->AddLine("Some test...");
if( m_phNotifyWnd[RECEIVE] && m_puiEventWMsg[RECEIVE] ) {
::PostMessage( m_phNotifyWnd[RECEIVE], m_puiEventWMsg[RECEIVE], 0, (LPARAM) pPkt );
WHEN thread A receives the message that thread B posted above, it only does the following:
LRESULT CMainFrame::OnSocketReceive( WPARAM, LPARAM lParam )
CSPkt* pPkt;
CRWPkt* pRWPkt;
CSPktSocket* pSocket;
ULONG ulType;
CString csTemp;
CBSWords bsWords;
CSSSWords sssWords;
CRWPkt* pLoopBackRWMsg; // used if we have to send a loopback msg back to sender
CLMsg lmsg;
m_wndTextWindow.AddLine("Test message");
return 0;
So both threads are writing to the output window via the .AddLine() member function.
void COutputWnd::AddLine( CString& strLine, COLORREF crColor )
UpdateVScroll();
return;
And this function then makes a call to :UpdateVScroll(). The problem seems to arise because thread B does a
post to thread A, where thread A in turn writes to the output window. Eventually, the program
HANGS in the call to
SetScrollInfo() below...
void COutputWnd::UpdateVScroll()
CSingleLock lock( &m_CSVertScrollLock ); // lock things up while we are in here
BOOL bok = lock.Lock();
if (lock.IsLocked() == TRUE)
int iMax = m_FifoIndices.GetHighestIndex();
if( iMax < ( m_iMaxViewableLines - 1 ) )
iMax = 0;
//SetScrollRange( SB_VERT, 0, iMax, FALSE );
//SetScrollRange( SB_VERT, 0, 9, FALSE );
SCROLLINFO scrollinfo;
scrollinfo.cbSize = sizeof(SCROLLINFO);
scrollinfo.fMask = SIF_RANGE;
scrollinfo.nMin=0;
scrollinfo.nMax= iMax;
SetScrollInfo(SB_VERT, &scrollinfo, FALSE);
lock.Unlock();
It doesn't take long for the program to hang...maybe about 10 seconds.
When I hit DEBUG->BREAK ALL, I get the output below in the CALL STACK WINDOW.
ntdll.dll!770070f4()

NOTE: If I never make the call to SetScrollInfo(), the program never HANGS.
Sooo....I am trying to determine if there is a fundamental issue with the way the threads are communicating that is causing the issue, or if maybe I have a memory overwrite. It always hangs in ::SetScrollInfo(), no matter what I comment and uncomment. This
makes me think that scroll bat behavior is different in Windows 7 than on XP, but I have not been able to find any documentation about it.
Can anyone provide any insight as to what may be the cause of the program hanging>

It might look like working but it will crash eventually. The windows are thread affine and other thread must never touch other threads windows. Sometimes you might get along but usually it just crashes.
Thread B must use PostMessage ( or SendMessage if suncronous action is require) to thread A's windows to achieve correct updating. Some very basic calls are implemented directly with SendMessage so they are safe to use but then you must individually check
which ones are safe.
Also having multiple SendMessage calls from B to A require rendezvous which might cause other problems ( thread B stalls or program deadlocks, depending on other program structure).
So PostMessage is the way to do it ( or create yourself another inter-thread mechanism, possible but usually too much troble)
