I desperately need to access my User Library folder in Time Machine (Lion so = not visible).

Hi. I installed Lion a few months ago and got a new external drive to back up Time Machine.
Nobody told me the User Library would be made hidden in the new OS. I have been backing up regularly in the belief that all my work, settings and so on was safe.
Yesterday my iMac (27" 2.8 Ghz Core it with 4 gib memory) suddenly went mad. Message saying finder had quit whilst trying to restore windows. Desktop was flashing, no icons clickable, no external disks readable. Could access some progs and terminal, but nothing else. Could not get into the history folder to trash various plists and so on as the folder is hidden and the alt Go wouldn't work. The Finder just wouldn't do anything.
I have sorted it out BUT I have lost my address book entries, my browser booksmarks, my desktop shortcuts and my iCal entries. I need to access my User Library on my Time Machine. Is there a way?
I cannot believe I have been religiously backing up my stuff but Apple has made it so I can't access my backup of one of the most important folders on my Time Machine???
Is there anyway of getting into this from Terminal or something? I will never be able to get back all the bookmarks and stuff I've been researching for years. I have it backed up on two different hard drives, both of which have 'invisible' library folders. I have make the folder visible now, for future backups, but it's after the horse has bolted. I am furious, and just feel like bursting into tears because of all the time it's going to take me to get all my work back. I can't tell you how stupid this was, Apple.
If someone could help I'd be really grateful. I've got older backups but they are so old they won't get back my recent stuff.
Thanks.

select Finder
hole option key and select Go in the menu
Select Library
Enter Time Machine
You should be seeing all the versions of you Library folder.

Shared printer not visible on network

I have an Epson WF-3520 and i originally tried connecting it directly to the internet but everytime it went to sleep the computer would no longer be able to connect to the printer and i would have to turn off the printer delete it from the computer and re-add the printer everytime i wanted to print! I gave up on that and connected it to my iMac via USB and then turned on printer sharing on the iMac. When i try to connect to the printer from my Macbook Pro it is not listed anywhere. Does anyone have a solution to either of these problems? Preferably the second as even Epson didnt know what was wrong with the first issue...
Thanks,
James

Besides turning on Printer Sharing, you also have to check the box marked Share this printer on the network in the Print & Scan preference pane. If you did that, disable the built-in firewall and also all third-party firewall or security software that you may have installed.

Wifi printer not visible from wireless devices after becoming a wired printer

Lexmark S515 printer: Wireless worked fine for about a year, now it doesn't stay connected to my EA-4500 router (I suspect the printer wifi radio is flaking out).
So I hooked it up via ethernet cable to my EA4500 router.
Now, I can only access ther printer (static IP: 192.168.1.101) from other wired devices on the EA-4500; can't access it from wirelessly connected devices.
Anyone know what I should change to get it to be visible from wired and wireless devices on my home network?

Try to check what's the IP Addresses of your wireless devices. Powercycle your whole network - unplug for 10 seconds and plug them back again. Start with the modem > router > printer > computers/wireless devices. You can also try connecting your printer directly to your wireless laptop and check if it can detect the printer.

Leopard: Network WiFi Printer Not Visible

I just got a new MacBook to replace my dying PowerBook G4. Both laptops are connected via wireless network to my old Cube desktop, where my HP Deskjet 3740 is connected via USB cable. All three computers can see each other's hard drive, but the new MacBook cannot find the printer. I can't add it, and it doesn't automatically see it on the network when I tell it to look in The-Cube.local. (The Cube has an old version of OS X because the hard drive is maxed and it can't handle the new stuff. However, that never prevented the PowerBook G4 from printing.) Help!
The Cube: Mac OS X 10.3.9 - prints fine
MacBook: Mac OS X 10.5.1 - no printing
PowerBook G4: Mac OS X 10.4.11 - prints fine

Hi bjp123-
Is the printer OSX 10.5.1 compatible?
Have you checked HP's website for a possible updated driver?

Brother network printer not "visible"

I just replaced an old iMac with a new one. I have a Brother 5250DN on an ethernet, seen by the prior iMac. The new iMac can't find the printer at all. The printer is on, the driver is part of the OS, but I can't bring it up in the printer setup. Help, please!

Try Reset Printing System.

Also, look at the Brother manual for how to set up an IP printer (like LPR).

Shared HP 3180 scanner function on a SnowLeopard server is not visible in other Lion Macs.

Hello,
I shared a HP C3180 (Printer+Scanner) on a server running SnowLeopard. While I can still scan from other SL-machines via the preview application, the scanner is not visible from machines running Lion. Printing from Lion is no problem, but it just does not show up as a scanner in the networked devices list of preview and image capture applications. Any idea?
rgds,
Frank

Having very similar problem and have not solved it yet. Got some diagnostic info, though.
I downloaded the Bonjour Browser on the Lion Mac. IT can see the scanner service being offered by the Snow Leopard Mac. But the System Perferences - Print & Scan cannot (although it see the printer part of the all-in-one just fine; it works, too). Neither can Image Capture.
For what it is worth, downloaded latest all-in-one driver from the vendor. Vendor says it is for Lion. Doesn't seem to make a difference. Sigh ...

Hi Om Prakasah,
If I understanding correctly, you created a ReportViewer report, but you can’t see print icon when you run the report in browser. If so, please follow these steps:
If you can’t see the print icon either when running the report in visual studio, you may have set ShowPrintButton to False in Properties window, then please set it to True.
If there is print icon in visual studio but not in browser, please update the .NET Framework on your web server to the latest version, because the print icon is by default hidden in some version of browser. For more information, you can refer to the relevant
link below:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/selvar/archive/2013/12/20/reportviewer-2012-control-not-showing-print-icon-when-viewed-from-ie-11-desktop-mode.aspx
If the problem is not resolved, i would appreciate it if you could give us detailed description of your problem, it’s better to provide the version of ReportViewer and browser, it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
Thanks,
Wendy Fu

Wifi printing after Mountain Lion upgrade, "printer not connected" error

I have Canon MP610 printer. Was getting error message "Looking for printer" or "Printer not connected" after upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8. Printing works fine when I directly plug in USB cord to MacBook Pro to print. However, on the wifi network, no luck. Today I have upgraded Canon's latest driver, reset the printer system, deleted printers from system icon in System Preferences, added new printer back in..... Nothing.
I have reset Time Capsule, where my printer USB is currently plugged into.
Nothing.
Please advise what to try next...??

AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support.
5.6 doesn't work with Mountain Lion, so am I stuck?
I already had AirPort Utility 5.6 on a Lion machine and upgraded to Mountain Lion with no issues. AirPort Utiliy 5.6 works fine as does AirPort Utility 6.1.
But, I did not try to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 since it was already on the Mac.
Please try again and report on your results.

Printers are not visible in Print management

Installed print server feature in Windows server 2012 .We have added few printers in server, but these printers are not visible in printers section of Print management console.Even the default Microsoft XPS writer is not showing up.
Restarted Spooler service and reinstalled print management console.Server DNS record looks good too.
Able to view the printers in "Device and printers" .They are not visible only in print management console.
Thanks

Hi Daemon_Joker,
Please check if some necessary updates need to be installed. Please run
sfc /scannow command to scan all protected system files.
Meanwhile, please use
Get-Printer PowerShell cmdlet retrieves a list of printers installed on the computer. Did all printers display correctly?
In addition, please open Print Management, click Printer Servers, expand
your printer server, then right click Printers and select “Add Printer…”. Please check if you will be able to find printers via this wizard.
If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Canon Pixma IP8500 not visible in printer list

When trying to install my Canon Pixma IP8500 printer (wireless connected) for the first time on my new iMac I found this particular printer was missing from the printer list, although in the OS X documentation it was stated that this printer would be supported. Although somewhat surprised I downloaded the latest driver from Canon. Surprise, surprise, after installing this driver (an action which was 'succesfully completed') it still was not visible in the printer list !?
Has anyone had a similar experience and/or does anyone know how to tackle this problem ?

Hi Greg,
Thanks for your fast response!
I downloaded a trial from the PrintFab site and installed the driver, unfortunately with the following results:

No. Series not visible in Documents while printing

hi all
I have added "SQ" as prefix before the number series of sales quote.
but when i print the sales quote, the prefix "SQ" is not visible.
pls guide....

Hi John
the way you can do this is to make one field, make it hidden....invisible. Then on the data tab if using 2004, make the file Document Numbering-series (Use alt+mouse lick to display everything in file field). Then make the field Prefix string. If you are using 2005 it is then table instead of file and column instead of field on content tab. This will now pull just the prefix. Then make another hidden field that gets the doc number. Then make a another field that will display a formula that will use the function "concat", it will concat your two fields and display them.
Hope this helps

USB Printer connected to Airport Express not visible on iPad and iPhone

I have got two Airport Express devices in my network, connected by ethernet. Air Play works fine. Unfortunately my iPad and iPhone do not find the printer connected by USB. Printing from a Win PC to the printer works fine. The printer is visible in the Airport Express configuration and from Windows in the Bonjour printer search.
Printing from iPad and iPhone to printers connected to the Win PC works fine.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?

That's only true of a limited number of printer models from HP. Future updates to iOS may change that, but that's not the case yet.
On this Apple Web page http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/airprint.html
see the mention at the bottom that "AirPrint works seamlessly with a new generation of wireless printers from HP."

Since I have update to Lion I have my print not scanning .My classic FTP not supported anymore

Since I have update to Lion I have my print not scanning,. My classic FTP not supported anymore!!!! what is goin on with this update??????

Recover the backup you made before you installed. If you didn't backup, make a backup down, and selectively recover pieces of the backup that will work with the older operating system after erase and reinstalling 10.6. See my backup FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Before you do, you may find your scanner preferences in your printer just need to be set in the Print & Scan preferences in Apple menu -> System Preferences, or some open source scanner and printer drivers can work better*: http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#SCANNER
And in the future ALWAYS backup your data before you install anything. That way you can recover where you went before. Don't cross post in the forum if you can avoid it. Remember this is a user to user forum, so responses may take awhile if you didn't post in an area that really is related to your question. Issues with Lion are best handled in the Lion forum. But as long as I have a chance, I'll respond to this thread.
