Lion problem with printers

Hi,
I have upgraded to Lion and did all the software update.
I use different printers in different locations (home,work, office) and I had to add any printer using System preferences.
However, everytime I connect my MacBook to a printer I had been using few days in advance, that printer is missing and Lion does not recognize it anymore.
Most of the time I have to re-install the driver, but many times it does not solve the problem and I can not use the printer.
do you have any suggestion?
pls email at [email protected]
thank you

For those with the same problem, Primera says they will have new drivers up 7/31/12:

I decided to check a day early (7/30/12) and the driver for my LX400 is up and I was able to install and use it successfully.

Hi I have a problem with my imac 27th
I have installed Mac Osx 10.7.2 Lion
Processor 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 12 GB DDR3 1333 MHz
ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB
The serial number CK1160PBDNR
I have 3 partitions on the system
First MAC OS-500 GB on the system is mac
Second GAME 250 GB
Third Windows 250GB - there is prepared a partition for Windows 7
I wanted to install Windows 7 through Boot Camp, but the error appears:
This disk is not supported.
I went to tools and wanted to share a disk or partition manually podzilic but I have another error:
Disk Utility can not modify the disk: it contains physical volumes CoreStorage. Use diskutil command in the command line.
Also tried to do this with my USB lion, but it is the same.
Inadvertently create a new system, inadvertently waste the data. What do I do?

Thank you - I followed your directions
and found that I had already tagged it to watch, but hadn't realized that it was tagging both the old and the new. Big learning curve for me.

Mountain Lion - Problems with Dynacord Powermate 1600-3

Hey!
I upgraded Lion to Mountain Lion, but that wasn't a nice move. I'm working with Logic Pro 9, and my audio interface when i record is the Dynacord Powermate 1600-3 mixer. When i open Logic and go to preferences->audio and click on output device, the only option i can choose is "built-in output". When i had Lion on my Mac, i was able to choose "Dynacord Audio Interface" in both the input device and the output device. And there wasn't any problems with that.
Hope there are some help to find!

1. Jeg brugte det indbyggede audio interface i mixeren, altså USB udgangen. Ja, det er den eneste mulighed, hvis du vil køre mixeren direkte ind i computeren.
2. Hvis du mener med hensyn til hvor meget lyd man sender ind i mixeren fra de forskellige 4 tracks, er det aux 1, aux 2, mon 1 og mon 2 som er input 1,2,3 og 4 inde i Logic. På hver kanal sidder der knapper til at sende lyd til aux 1, aux 2, mon 1 og mon 2.
Et eksempel: Hvis tommerne er på track 5,6 og 7 vælger man hvilken en af de fire "master-output" kanaler, man vil sende dem til. Hvis man så vælger aux 1, sender man på hver af de enkelte tomtracks, det lyd man vil have ind i mixeren, ved at dreje på aux 1 knappen. Et tip, stil de fire "master-outputs", altså aux 1,2 og mon 1,2 på det samme, og instil på hver enkelt track, hvor meget lyd du vil have ind i pc'en, det må bare ikke peake.
De kanaler som hedder USB 1-2 og USB 3-4, virkede for mig som monitor kanaler, altså hvor man lyd man vil have ud i de højtalere man ny tilkobler mixeren.
3. Når man skal indspille skal man blot bruge USB-kablet. Hvis du tænker på hver kanal, er det lige fedt, om du bruger jack eller mic stik. Jeg bruger kun mic stik, da alle mine trommemikrofoner er med XLR-stik. Men jeg har også indspillet en guitar, der bruger jack-stik. Man gør så følgende: Når man har indstillet gain, og eq sender man lyden til f.eks. aux 1. Man skruger godt op for aux 1 kanalen, og justerer på selve guitarkanalen, hvor meget lyd som skal ind. Derefter vælger man inputtet i Logic, det kan være 1,2,3 eller 4. Slår record til i Logic, og indspiller.
4. Der har du så vidt jeg kan forstå misforstået det. Man kan i menuen vælge om det skal være live eller studio. Hvis du vælger live, er dine "master-outputs" kanaler aux 1,2 og selve masteroutput-kanalerne til speakere. Du skal vælge studio, for så bliver dine masteroutputs aux 1,2 og mon 1,2 og så kan du sende lyd fra hver kanal til dem. Det kan man ikke ved live, så vidt jeg ved.
Grunden til at det hedder live og studio er følgende:
Når man indspiller live, til f.eks. en koncert, bruger man masteroutputtet til højtalerne, og så bliver det optaget i pc'en også, samtidig med at det kommer ud i speakerne.
Studio giver bedre kontrol, da man har mon 1,2 og aux 1,2 og kan sende lyd fra hver enkelt kanal til outputsne.
Håber det hjalp, det var alt hvad jeg ved, kan ikke svare på mere
Det skal lige siges, at jeg kun er 15 år gammel.
Og hey, gå ind på youtube og søg Mads Skov Hansen. Der kommer to videoer frem, trommerne er optaget med en Dynacord Powermate mixer. Del gerne mit drum cover, der har jeg dog brugt et lydkort, som giver meget mere kontrol over hver kanal, da man har mulighed for eq, compressore og effekter inde Logic. Hvor man på Dynacorded kun har 4 tracks, med eksempelvis alle tommerne på samme kanal f.eks. aux 1, og så kan man ikke nørde på hver tom, der skal man lave fed lyd, inden man indspiller.
Venlig hilsen
Mads

Mountain Lion problems with Adobe?

Since changing to Mountain Lion I cannot import jpeg and RAW files into Lightroom4. Anyone else had the same issues? Adobe is not very helpful, but many people have reported similar problems with Lightroom4 and CS4.

Mountain Lion problem with CAF sound files

I have various sound files in a Cocoa game under OSX with OpenAL and now with Mountain Lion all the small CAF files (5kb or less) do not play. Al the other larger CAF files play as normal. All the files load with no errors.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be causing this? Anyone else seen problems with sound files?

This is how it looks like for me. This accours on every Boot Up.

Lion: problems with resume, reboot, move, delete ...

Some of the Lion problems I've been having (on 2 laptops: an older "Pro" and a new "Air"):
          -can't delete some files without password;
          -can't move some files or folders, only copy;
          -opening a program by clicking a data file also opens other data files from previous uses (not necessarily the most recent use);
          -rebooting opens several programs, always the same ones with the same data files (not necessarily from the most recent uses);
          -opening Safari opens several tabs always with the same sites;
          -Safari's History is gone, except for 2011 items, and new items are not being recorded;
          -Keychain issues, often needing repair;
          -MobileMe syncing issues.
Why and how do all of these things happen? How are they related to each other? Why should I have to tinker like this? And what would happen if I weren't geeky? (I've left my iMac on Snow Leopard, which is wonderful.)
Things are coming under control, but I have pulled all sorts of information from a variety of Web sources, none of which I found all in one place; hence this compendium. The exact sequence of what I did is lost, and what factors were the ones which worked I do not know. (Very time-consuming …) Comments welcome!
Should I just have re-installed Lion on the laptops?
====
Permissions:
A lot of these problems seem related to obscure permissions.
Here is a Terminal command which clears all ACLs, at least in the "Home" folder.
          chmod -R -N ./*
(But it generated this message on the MBPro:
chmod: Failed to clear ACL on file abc.numbers: Operation not permitted
chmod: Failed to clear ACL on file Commands: Invalid argument
chmod: Failed to clear ACL on file Notification: Invalid argument
chmod: Failed to clear ACL on file ubiquity.socket: Invalid argument
chmod: Failed to clear ACL on file Saved Application State: Operation not permitted
… partly perhaps because I had "locked" the abc.numbers file and the Saved Application State folder. I doubt if these things matter.)
Reboot while holding Cmd-R: this is something like "re-install" mode; when it opens, instead of choosing one of the options presented, open Terminal from the Utilities menu, and type "resetpassword". A program opens but don't reset the passwords, but rather reset all of the permissions, including ACLs, using the button at the lower right. Close it, close Terminal, and the reboot normally.
Safari:
File menu, Empty Cache and Reset Safari
Library (from Home folder, requires special steps to get to it in Lion, e.g. hold the Option key when at the Finder "Go" menu):
          Library/Preferences: moved then later deleted several plist files for offending programs, which I then had to reconfigure (e.g. Safari: reconfigure Toolbar, go through Safari Preferences …) -(they will all reappear instantly in some "default" state) -trying to delete the plist.lockfile as well caused problems - Trash wouldn't "empty" it ("in use"), but doesn't seem to matter.
          Library/Preferences, ByHost: see below
          Library/Saved States: see below
ByHost:
Some users opine to go to ByHost, close all apps, then "lock" (using the "Get Info" feature) the file com.apple.loginwindow{…}.plist. See this "discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17213577#17213577
Saved States:
Some users say to delete "Library/Saved Application State" files (folders) before doing the above (https://discussions.apple.com/message/17499355#17499355 and http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/13/turn-off-resume-the-definitive-solution/). Then "lock" the "Saved Application State" folder. There may be some problems getting it to stay locked(?).
But I moved several of the "Saved Application State" folders and I forget just what, but one computer seemed unhappy afterwards, the other fine. On the unhappy one, I replaced them (but not yet having locked the overall folder), and deleted some of the files inside the individual folders, like com.apple.TextEdit.savedState. (I suspect this paragraph is unimportant, but cannot be sure.)
Sharing: remember that the settings under System Preferences, Sharing, also matter. (So do the settings under "Accounts and Users", Guests.)
The "resume open applications feature" on reboot seems weird. If I say "no", I wonder if it wasn't bringing back all of the programs from some distant previous reboot.
Make sure that under System Preference, General, the option to restore on restart is unchecked.
I have learned that Disk Utility's "Repair Permissions" works for quite specific files and doesn't work for the Home folder.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452
Make sure that there aren't numerous "Login" items under System Preference, Users/Accounts.
Changing permissions via the "Get Info" windows, and "applying to enclosed folders" can be a bad idea, especially if applied to something like the Home folder. Apparently it propagates ACLs too(?), although not visible there, and the effects can be undesirable.
Some permissions on "Get Info" panes have two "everyone"s, and the one with "Custom" settings can not be changed nor deleted.
Make sure all systems updates have been done (as usual).
MobileMe sync issues are another story - seems to be settling - perhaps related to "Permissions" issues above …
And what about Preferences, Caches? Anything there that would help with the above problems? What about the "root"(?) Library?
Some of the above tasks can be accomplished by 3rd-party software, but I'm getting there without using anything other than native Mac OS X Lion tools.
====
Anyway, as said, it's all settling down.
Comments/corrections most welcome.
Charles

Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Mac Book Air with Lion problems with images?

Since Lion was installed, does Mac Book Air show problems with moving images, as videos and Skype?

In these forums one does not speculate about the future of Apple products.

Mountain Lion problems with Mail Signatures, Pages, Numbers, Keynote - This quick fix solved all my problems with these. Pages etc wouldn't launch and needed to be force quitted. Mail signature changes wouldn't save.

The solution was simple in my case. I don't know why it worked and it may have been entirely coincidental but its worth a try.
Close all applications and restart Mountain Lion.
Log in as Guest. I opened Pages at this point but I don't know if that's required.
Log out and then back in as your normal user.
Pages, Numbers and Keynote now were fine for me and Mail signature changes were saved and available for later use.
For those trying to edit the signatures to get their old ones back - I just found an old sent mail and copied the signature there into the newly created one via the normal preferences. No need for opening .mailsignature files and editing them. This included various colours, sizes, an image and a link with no problems.
I hope this helps anyone having some of these problems.

Mountain Lion: problem with Time Machine directories and spotlight indexing

I'm using a fresh install of 10.8 Mountain Lion on a 2011 MBP. It's a work laptop with many ASCII files containing numerical data (floating point numbers), with varying file extensions. Some of the files are multi-gig, some are only a few hundred K, and there are tens of thousands of them. Roughly 500G of numerical data.
I can disable spotlight from indexing certain subdirectories of my home directory on the local drive. However, when using Time Machine to backup, I seem to be entirely unable to prevent spotlight from attemping to fully index the external drive (Time Machine volume). I actually let spotlight run for over 36 hours this weekend in a futile attempt for it to finish indexing the TM volume. The /.Spotlight-V100 index on the external drive is roughly 100G and continuously written and overwritten. /var/log/system.log had various "Merging failed" messages for temp spotlight files. I deleted the index, let spotlight run again overnight, but it did not finish indexing. "sudo fs_usage -f filesys mds mdworker mdimport mdworker32 | grep open" showed spotlight slowly chugging through the thousands of numerical files.
I believe the problem is related to this old report from someone who noticed a leopard -> snow leopard change:
http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=106703
http://forums.cnet.com/7723-6126_102-366184/snow-leopard-10-6-spotlight-indexing -and-disk-usage/
However, I don't see an easy solution. In ML, if you drag the TM volume to the spotlight privacy list it gives you a message about how you can't disable indexing of TM volumes because it's essential for TM. I have not yet tried to manually put in some kind of .metadata_never_index file in the relevant TM volume directories (I am not sure if that will do anything, or perhaps break TM backups), but that's one possible next step.
Anyone have ideas on how I can have my TM backups work but the spotlight indexing of all these data files (their subdirectories) disabled? I'm not specifically TRYING to back up those data files with TM (they're duplicated elsewhere), they're just on the same machine as a bunch of other stuff I need backed up via TM. Apple has a disaster on their hands for anyone trying to backup a machine which also has large data sets.

I'm not aware of any avenue to tell spotlight to not index all or part of a backup.
However, the indexing should work, even if takes a long time.
I don't think this is a new issue and has been part of TM from the start.
Realistically, it may be time to consider whether TM is the best choice for these data files?
Are they very volatile do they change frequently both as to content of individual files and total set of files?
If not, then a clone or syncing type of backup might be better suited for these files.
I do not back up all my files via time machine. I keep photographs and music outside of Time Machine. to be sure they are backed up but via clones.
To show why this might the best take photographs. My photographs are basically immutable once they enter the system, but I may come back with 5000 images from a trip and whittle that down to a few hundred eventually. This would cause a lot of files to be saved in TM that are no longer wanted, - but are not easy to remove formthe backup. while the ones I want haven't changed. TM is not geared to make handling that easily.
As a further aside, ideally one should back everything of value up twice via 2 different means.
I've had backup drives fail.I've had TM logically fail (disk is fine -TM internal data structures bad).

Downloading Mountain Lion - problems with slow DSL

Since we live in a rural area, my friends (who have a new iMac) are having problems downloading the Mountain Lion file.They are on the end of a DSL line feed and get a weak signal. Can I download the file on my computer and then install the file on their computer? They could log into my computer with their Apple ID to down the file. I am concerned an IP address is imbedded in the download and would cause problems. Thanks for any information.

Provided they use their account this will work. The download will finish and present a button to install, just quit at this point. Go to Applications and you will find the installer, copy it to a removable drive and then your friends can install it on their machine.
It looks like this, and it is 4.37GB in size.

Mountain Lion : Problem with Graphic on Macbook 13"

I recently updated to Mountain Lion, and it seems like the graphics are glitching big-time, to the point where the computer becomes unusable and i have to restart... I tried a 'clean' install (formatting and usb-install) but the but the problem persists.
the solution with gfxCardStatus doesn't work with macbook 13" white (mid-2010)
Thanks for your help !

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Mountain Lion. There's a Mountain Lion Support Community where everybody has Mountain Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mountain_lion

Mountain Lion problem with iTunes over network

I connect to my iTunes to watch movies over my Airport network. A movie will play for about 20 min then loose connection. I have to go to my host iMac with Mountain Lion and restart iTunes then reconnect on my mac mini downstairs which is running Leopard. A real pain in the bu##.
It appears to be shutting down my network connection for some reason. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know what to do?
I will watch a movie using my appleTV and see if it does the same thing. Then I will know if it is realted to my iMac and not compatability with Leopard.

ok, I watched a movie on my AppleTV without interuption so it must be a conflict between my Leopard on the mac mini and Mountain Lion on my iMac.

Detection problems with printers

I was using Tiger before and with Tiger I could search for network printers (HP printers using CUPS unix printing system) very easily. Recently I bought a new MB and it has Leopard install in it. When I use my new MB I could not detect those printers I was using before. I also discovered that printing preference has lots of complicated stuff in it. previously adding printers was so easy. I don't know how to fix this problems. Can anyone help?
