Keep getting auto updates for printer which I no longer have.

I uninstalled my canon inkjet printer.  At least I believe I did - it doesn't come up when I run a search on Finder.  However I keep getting auto updates for it, which I would like to stop getting.  I may be slow but can't figure out how to do this.... thanks.

Try going to the hard drive level Library/Printers and delete the Canon folder there.

  • I keep getting a "waiting for printer to become available when trying to print on my Epson Photo Stylus 2400. It used to work.

    I'm trying to print a .psd image from Photoshop CS5 using my Epson Photo Stylus 2400 printer.  Yesterday, I downloaded a suggested upgrade and it hasn't worked since then. I used Time Machine and replaced the Epson utility with the old one. I then get a message:
    Waiting for printer to become available...
    and nothing happens.  I need to be able to print!
    I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    Try Reset Printing System feature and then install the printer using Apples instructions  from Mac Basics: Printing in OS X

  • Stop getting software update for printer I no longer have

    I continue to receive software update notifications for a Cannon Inkjet printer that I replaced two years ago with an HP.  I have deleted all Cannon software and applications I can find via spotlight.  These notifications are embedded in the OS X notification "update available."  How do I get rid of them?

    Have you checked System Preferences > Printers & Scanners to make sure the Canon printer is removed?  If not, remove it.
    If the printer does not appear in (1) above, reset the printing system.

  • Hi- I have a new iPhone 5 and for some reason even though the time is set to EST, I keep getting calendar invitations for GMT, which means I am 5 hours out of whack.  What's wrong?

    Hi-
    I have a new iPhone 5.  For some reason, when I received messages they are showing up as the GMT time zone, even though the time on my phone is set to EST. 
    Anyone know how to change this?

  • A little confused on this issue.  I keep getting an upgrade for iPhoto but it says I have to go to where I bought it.  Here's the problem. . . It was on my Mac when I bought it new.

    How do I update my iPhoto?  When I get a message saying have an update it also says that I must go to where I purchased it.  I got my Mac at the Mac store in Novi and the program was part of the programs installed on the computer at the time of purchase.
    Thanks to anyone that can advise on this,

  • TS3147 How do I stop auto updates for an HP printer I no longer have?

    I keep getting auto update notices for a printer I have discarded.  How do I stop this?  Within the last year my "HP" printer quit and I replaced it with a "Brother" printer.  It is annoying to keep getting the HP irrelevant update notifications.  I removed the HP printer info in the application folder on my hard drive, but that did not help.

    I use Find File myself.  I think it has been discontinued.

  • I keep getting a update notification for iMovie but when i click update it prompts a different apple id

    i keep getting a update notification for iMovie but when i click update it prompts a different apple id and it dose not allow me to change the apple id so I'm left with the old iMovie and no way to update ?? need help

    Deleting and redownloading will not fix it unless it shows as part of your purchases, which it likely doesn't.
    The resolution will depend on how you got the app in the first place.  Check my response here Lost iWorks apps after Yosemite clean install  different app, but same thing.
    If your Mac came with the dvd version, you never tied them to your Apple ID (assuming eligibility to do so), sometimes signing out/in from the App Store fixes it, allowing you to accept under purchases (see my other post).  Otherwise, you'll need to contact Apple.

  • How do I get Mozilla Firefox to download for GB version because all I keep getting is the US version, which is conflicting with AYI on Facebook.

    How do I get Mozilla Firefox GB version to download? because all I keep getting is the US version, which is conflicting with AYI (Are You Interested) on Facebook. Which won't allow me to access my messages, browse and see who's viewed me on this site. But I have had Mozilla Firefox before (English version) and it as allowed me acces to AYI on Facebook. so I cannot understand why the US version won't allow the same access to AYI on Facebook?

    You can download Firefox in many different languages.<br>
    You can view the available languages [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ here].

  • How do I stop my ipad from referencing an old apple id?  My old ID was deleted by an Apple representative months ago.  When I try to "update" my ipad it always references my old apple id which I no longer have a password for..help

    How do I stop my ipad from referencing an old apple id?  My old Apple ID was my old email address.  I contacted Apple and it was deleted by an Apple representative months ago.  Whenever I try to "update" my ipad (games etc.)  it always references my "old apple id" which I no longer have a password for or have any access too..help

    Problem is...I do NOT know the password for this "old" apple id.  I haven't used this apple id in over 1 year and it "suddenly" started to show up.  I can NOT update or down load any updates without knowing the old apple id's password either.  I am getting help.  I was able to contact tech support and they are in the process of helping me within an email reply to "reset" my password from that old Apple id, in the next 24 hours.           
    Thank you all for your help!  I hope we are able to resolve this issue.  Again, it is very odd that my "old" email or original Apple ID decided to appear after such a long span.  I will keep you all posted as to how it was resolved when I hear back via an email.

  • I keep getting a 'Looking for backup disc' message from my  Time Capsule.

    I keep getting a 'Looking for backup disc' message from my  Time Capsule. I have set it up several times without any apparent problems (I have even done a Hard and Factory reset). Everything seems fine until I ask Timemachine to 'back up', and then the problems start.
    Any ideas?

    I had the exact same problem. I bought the Time Capsule this past July and it worked fine for about a month then it told me it hadn't backed up in 10 days and was stuck looking for the backup drive. I called Apple and they said the reason was that the Time Capsule was in Bridge mode. I launched Airport Utility and sure enough, it was. I changed it to DCHP and NAT (Airport Utility -> Network tab -> Router Mode). After updating the Time Capsule, I couldn't even get on the Internet, let alone do a backup. A logged into the software for my cable modem and discovered that it too was in Bridge mode.
    It turned out (for me) that neither should be in Bridge mode (which is for connecting two networks). Your cable modem only has one IP address. Your Time Capsule should be doing the NAT (Network Address Translation) which translates the internal IP addresses on your network to the one IP address your cable modem has. When I switched my Time Capsule to DHCP and NAT, it conflicted with the fact that the cable modem was also trying to do this. The answer was to turn this off on the modem (allowing all the packets to just go through the modem to the Time Capsule and let IT do the NAT). I did that last week and since then, my Time Capsule has been working perfectly.
    1) Go to your cable modem (via a browser, enter "http://192.168.100.1"). Log-in and find the setting that indicates NAT. If you're uncomfortable doing this or can't find it, call your cable company and ask Tech Support to do it for you. They can do it remotely.
    2) Launch Airport Utilty. Go to the Network Tab and change the router mode to "DHCP and NAT".
    3) You may need to restart your modem and Time Capsule. I can't remember if I had to or not.
    I hope this helps. I tried many things but this is the only solution that fixed it for me. And it makes sense. Only one device, the cable modem or the Time Capsule, can be doing the NAT.

  • Do i have to log in to my apple id in order to use "auto updates for apps" in ios 7

    do i have to log in to my apple id in order to use "auto updates for apps" in ios 7

    This same exact thing started happening to me a few days ago.
    Every time I open the iPod app - I'm prompted for User/Password.  I even changed my password, thinking I forgot it, and still - insists that I enter this information.  If i hit OK or Cancel it just keeps asking like a never ending loop.
    Eventually, when I do fill out the info, it will go away until I re-open the iPod app.  This is more of an annoyance than a real issue - but if it's a bug, I hope it gets resolved.
    Any support in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
