Lion and installing Canon printer MG5200 series does not work

When trying to add printer to Lion - my Canon MG 5250 - I receive a message that
'The selected printer sofware is available from Apple. Click Add to download it and add this printer.'
I have done this download three times now, and each time when I try to install I receive the message
'Setting up 'Canon MG5200 series ...'
The software for this printer is currently aunavailable.
Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software.'
I have done this and the software won't install because it isn't for Lion.
Can anyone help me please?
Mac Lion 10.7.1

I finally found the solution myself - I downloaded again the driver called mcpd-mac-mg5200-10_51_2-ea11.dmg and installed it.
Then I restarted my Mac.
After it had completely restarted I checked Printers in the System Preferences. The Canon printer was finally showing
The software definitely is not available as a software update at this time; it must be downloaded from the Canon website at http://support-au.canon.com.au/P/search?model=PIXMA+MG5250&menu=download&filter= 0&tagname=g_os&g_os=Mac%20OS%20X%20v10%2E7
Don't forget to restart after installing before checking printers.
Hope this helps someone else.

After I upgrade to Lion OS my Lexmark printer mod. x1185 does not work anymore. I need the scan and copy functions, since I have a HP laserjet for printing. Even in the new (sep/08) driver file from apple there is no driver for my printer. Anyone could h

Driver for lexmark x1185 (series 1100) for MAC OS 10.7. Anyone has a solution ?

You should contact Lexmark. They have not released a driver for this printer since 10.3, and they no longer sell it. You could try the Generic PostScript PPD and see if you get limited functionality.
Hope this helps.

I just downloaded and installed Adobe Reader X. It does not print. It is unbelievable to me!

I just downloaded and installed Adobe Reader X. It does not send the view to the installed printers.
It is unbelievable to me that Adobe would broadcast a flawed product like this.

BRIAN; THANK THE LORD FOR GOOD PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT HELP OTHERS. ADOBE PHOTOSHOP TECH SUPPORT IS THE WORST TECH SUPPORT I HAVE EVER SEEN. I CALLED THEM AND 2 TIMES I TALKED TO INDIA OR WHEREVER, AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THEM. THE THIRD CALL I WAS TALKING TO A GUY AND WAS DISCONNECTED. I TRIED TO CONTACT TECH SUPPORT ON THE NET AND THAT WAS NOTHING BUT A PROBLEM AND COULD NOT GET MY MESSAGE THROUGH. I CALLED ANOTHER # AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME. THAT'S BAD. I JUST PURCHASED THE ELEMENTS 13 AND THERE IS 0 TECH SUPPORT. THANKS AGAIN BRIAN. """DINO"""

Your Mac is too old
To Airdrop between a Mac an iOS device
System Requirements
To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need the Mac models listed below with Wi-Fi turned on and OS X Lion or later installed.

I updated my ad to iOS 6 and now my App Store app does not work, how can I get it back

I updated my iPad 2 with the latest iOS 6 and now my App Store application does not work right. The only part that does work is the genius, and the purchased, but I cannot search for any new apps now have the categories come up. I don't know how else to search for apps, and I don't know how to download this as it was pre installed.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then 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 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

Hello Joe,
Funny enough, I was just about to run this test and happened to check with another tech about this. Apparently another customer had gotten in touch with us regarding the same issue and after confirming this, found that it is a bug. As such, this has been logged and we should hopefully see a fix for it in our future updates.
Please continue to check our software downloads page for this update (we do an update roughly every 6 to 8 weeks). Thanks for your patience.

According to Roaring Apps, there is a version of Protools compatible with Lion. But you may need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to buy either Lion or ML on MAS. It looks like you need to get up-to-date with your OS and the apps too.

Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.
