Mac keeps recognizing my printer as a camera and launching iphoto on start

HELP! Ever since downloading the camera driver for my daughter's camera my computer only recognizes my printer as a camera and won't print. I've changed USB slots, reinstalled the printer driver. nothing is working!!!!

What sort of camera driver did you download? Why was it necessary?
What sort of Printer is it? Multi-Function? Does it have a flash card or SD card built in?
In the meantime, you can disable the link by going to Applications -> Image Capture and using the Preferences, set what happens when you connect a Camera. I suggest that you set it to nothing happens.
Regards

  • I keep trying to print an adobe pdf-and today all of a sudden they wont print and instead opens a "save-as" MS word window

    i keep trying to print an adobe pdf-and today all of a sudden they wont print and instead opens a "save-as" MS word window prompting me to do that instead of simply printing

    Look in the print menu (more than likely under "Advanced") and deselect the box that says "Print to file".

  • Transferring photos from my Nikon coolpix s7c  to my mac causes a "communications error" with the camera and will not transfer photos as it has done in the past. Seems to have stopped working with my Mac Lion upgrade?

    iphoto has stopped transferring my photos from my Nikno coolpix s7c camera. Seems like it stopped when I upgraded to Lion? It continues to work with a PC?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library?

    I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library? Can anyone help?

    I have no idea what you did or what happened - but I can assure you that loading from a different camera does not create a new library
    So you need to supply information and someone here will assist you in sorting this out and figuring out what you really did
    What version of iPhoto do you have? What version of the OS? Why do you think that a second library has been created? What do you see when you launch iPhoto with the optipon kep depressed and use the select library option? Where is your iPhoto library normally?
    Anything else you can tell us that might help?

  • IMac either or has been remotely accessed, has malicious code, is hacked and/or all of the aforementioned or something that I have not yet researched. With my health issues, my Mac keeps me from thinking about the pain and disability I have. Thank you.

    Hello,
    I'm giving it one more chance and then Mac goes into trash. My iMac is either remotely accessed, perhaps malicious code, hacked and/or all of the aforementioned. I am not savvy in these areas. Please read some of the many symptoms and if you can assist me -- I am beyond grateful.  If you want to say it is my fault because I allowed somebody to use my computer or other nonsense please do not waste my time or yours. This is serious and has been going on for a period of time that is longer then I can remember!
    I have a neighbor, lives in my apartment building, 'had' physical access to my iMac.  Shortly after this I started to have problems that beyond any nightmare I have ever heard of - whether it be Windows or Apple!  Please feel free to ask me any question(s) that might help me rid my iMac of this malicious act as the police have been useless -- say they do not have equipment to check my Mac. FBI can't b bothered.
    It is more then clear that a person(s) has access and has messed up the OS, among other terrible things.  He took over my Facebook account months ago, posted as though he was me. He also prevented me from getting back into FB and Yahoo to close those connected accounts.  Went to an Apple store, under protection of their router and removed FB/Yahoo accounts.  The pages that were showing at home turned out to be fake pages controlled by him. (Think they are called "defaced").
    Anytime I did a 7X or zero out clean install -- he was there before I even hooked up the router!!!
    It came to a point that I can no longer even get to the erase/Utility/install from my apartment so I took it to Apple more then once. Besides erase/install, I turned off ALL Sys Preferences that could alert him to Mac. The last time I received a gray Install CD and was told to take it out of the building and do another erase/install.  There is no sense of going through this until I know if/how to get rid of him.
    Also when I first sign on I ALWAYS get a 192.168.100.11.  I do NOT have a router. I then go to System Preferences to Network and click "renew DHCP" several times before I get an IP addy!  I am not savvy in this area but do feel that this is a major clue.
    Passwords have been changed, master password is not something I can access which prevents me updating, etc., etc.
    I will not bombard you with every detail as that would take several pages. I am beyond desperate. Will be happy to provide further details to serious responders only.
    Thank you.

    If you really believe that your system has been compromised, here's what you do:
    Disconnect your Mac from your cable modem;
    Back up any documents on your system that are important to you;
    Boot your Mac from the system installation disks that came with it (insert the disk, restart your Mac, and hold down the "c" key until you get the "spinning gear" icon);
    Choose a language and click the arrow button to continue;
    From the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility;
    In Disk Utility, select your computer's hard drive;
    Click the "Erase" tab;
    Click the "Security Options" button and select to have it overwrite all the data on the hard drive;
    Click the "Erase" button and allow it to process;
    Once the "erase process has completed (it will take a while), reinstall Mac OS X.
    Or, if this is too much for you to accomplish on your own, take your system to an Apple Store and have them help you perform these steps. If your system was indeed compromised, this will remove any such hack. You can then set up a new user account for the computer, reinstall your applications (reinstall only from original disks or downloads from the company making the software) and documents, and reconnect to the Internet.
    Note that when you reconnect to the cable modem, you may still get an IP address starting with 198. This is normal with some cable modems and probably not a cause for concern. It will not be an indication that your system is still compromised; that will not be possible if you perform all the above steps.

  • Iphoto 11 is not recognizing jpeg files downloaded from camera and card reader. Nor will it allow me to transfer from image capture

    iphoto 11 is not recognizing jpeg files from either the camera and card reader. Canon Eos rebel dig. Nor will it allow me to transfer images from image capture to iphoto. No problem downloading to image capture.

    Sounds like a damaged card.  Get your photos off the card with Image Capture and then reformat the card in the camera.  Take some pictures and see if the card is recognized by iPhoto and the card reader.

  • My mac isnt recognizing my printer after new modem installed

    We got a new modem and now my mac doesnt recognize my HP Envy 4500 wireless printer.  I have reinstalled the printer several times and it works for about 2 min then it says offline. Even when I reinstall it doesnt appear on the list of available printers and I have to use the set up wizard for my computer to find it.  I have done all the mac updates and have all the right drivers.  Our non mac computers still work fine and mine did too until the new modem.  Any suggestions?

    Hi @nmoff,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that you are getting the error message "The system cannot find the specified file".  When reinstalling your HP Photosmart c6180 on Windows 7. I am happy to help!
    Please take a look through this post, Re: Install Error "The system cannot find the file specified" (hpzprl40.​exe). (Even though it's for Windows 8 and a different printer these steps will work for you as well).
    Hope this resolves your issue, and have a great day!

  • New Mac keeps crashing. Computer just turns off and restarts. Can happen in 10 minutes or a few hour

    Computer keeps crashing. Took it back to authorized seller and they changed the ram, but continues to crash. Will be in the middle of any program and screen will black out,go back to restart. Very confusing as it's top of the line iMac.
    This all started when my phone carrier remotely accessed my computer though to fix an unrelated problem.
    Could this be the glitch?

    Computer and OS info, please. Then, provide a crash report.

  • My Mac keeps randomly scrolling down in various software and i have to unpaid and repair mouse to get it to work again.

    When trying to work, my MAC suddenly starts scrolling to the bottom of whatever i'm working on - Word, Excel, Outlook, Safari.  Batteries are fine.  Have to unpair and pair the mouse to get it to work.  Not a problem, but when i have to do that 5 times in 10 minutes, not acceptable.  Also, the "i" button on the keyboard doesn't work sometimes.  Both are wireless MAC products.

    okay, you know this is for the Mac pro (desktop mac) rather than the MacBook pro, right? That being said, sounds like you have a problem. Turn off your screensaver, if it's on. if it's a hardware problem, eg the GPU, then take it in. If it's software, try running disk Utility and repair permissions. Failing that, get out your original install dvd's, boot up from them, and try "Archive and Install"

  • My mac OS X has a built in camera and it says i need to attach a camcorder.

What really confuses me is that it has worked before. And i have used both photo booth and movie maker before. Does anyone know how i could fix this issue

    Hi Das0766.
    You appear to be running Tiger and this is quite the wrong column to pose your questions.   Your system is not intel based.  
    Try posting in Tiger where you are more likely to meet up with people who know about your OS.

  • My mac had to have its hard drive replaced and now iPhoto is not on my computer. how do i get it back with no charge?

    my macbook pro's hard drive crashed and a new one had to be put in. due to these circumstances, i lost everything. when i bought my computer, iphoto was already installed and i did not have to pay for it. i am wondering if there is a way i can reinstall it with no charge since it was not my error that cause the computer to malfunction.

    You will find all the iLife applications are in the Optional Software installer folder on the OS X installer DVDs that came with your computer when it was new.
