Mac OS 10.5.8 too old for HP deskjet 2514 driver and I can't download new Mac software. HELP!

Hi,
I have an older Mac with the OS 10.5.8 system. It's too old to download to 10.6 the new Mac software because it's not intel-based so I can't download the driver for the printer.
I've been trolling the hp support boards and there doesn't seem to be a solution. So is my printer essentially useless with my computer?
Please help =)

hi, you would need to state what make and model the printer is for anyone to help

    I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

    Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
    To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?...  or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

  • Looking for Thunderbolt 2 RAID Array options that can match the new Mac Pro's quietness -- or at least come close!

    Maybe it is too early to talk about anything beyond the Pegasus2 Series (http://www.promise.com/promotion_page/promotion_page.aspx?region=en-global&rsn=1 00) when it comes to Tunderbolt 2 storage options. Looking for something on the order of 8 to 12 usable TB of redundant storage or possibly a JBOD option of 4 bays. This is coming close but I do not think it is Thunderbolt 2 (http://www.g-technology.com/products/g-raid-thunderbolt).
    Either way -- looking for users experience not only on usable Thunderbolt 2 solutions but more importantly noisiness. I want to upgrade my existing Mac Pro to one of the new ones and I have found the old one to be nearly unnoticable in a quiet desktop environment. Would love to find the same peace and quiet when migrating to the new form factor that is going to need external storage to match what I have been used to inside the old Mac Pro.

    Not your quiet storage, but then I would put it in a cool closet or small room off to the side :-)
    http://www.macgurus.com/store/Item/ARC8050 ( I was assuming but maybe not, that it would support RAID6 which is always preferable for larger arrays. Seems to have most features you want for 8 drives). MacGurus "Burly" are never quiet but they are rugged and well tested.
    Migrating storage will be a concern. I don't like the noise from my older SATA OWC dual-drive metal enclosure though suppose to be 'acceptable' unless they have improved the fans they are out for me.

    For those without eSATA enclosures, a simple eSATA to USB3 adapter might do the trick.

  • How do I resize Photoshop - it's too large for my Macbook Pro screen and I can't get to the resize corners?

    Photoshop is too large for my Macbook Pro screen.  I cannot access the resize handles - they're off the screen and I can't drag it.  Any solution?

    Do you see the red, yellow, and red window buttons? If so click on the green one.
    If you don't see them then you are possibly in full screen mode, and pressing the "F" key once or twice allow you to get back to normal mode.

      3. Then choose iTunes Store;
      4. Then choose Account Management;

    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select

          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security

    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

  • I lost my Iphone 4, now using a 3G but it can't retrieve the backup in my mac as the 3G is too old for it. Where can I see the Notes file and can I read it from my Mac? i got something important in Notes and desperately tried to find it but no success yet

    Please help me..

    Here's an interesting bit: iTunes will let me restore my iPod touch from backup: it's still running iOS 4.3.3. I figured as much... there's backups showing in the Preferences -> Devices list for both devices (and even my old, long gone iPod touch 2G), but my iPhone (on iOS5) isn't giving me any such option. I remember I had to downgrade before to get the backup restored (something went haywire in the setup assistant, and I couldn't restore a backup from iTunes there)... If it was possible to go to iOS 5.0 rather than 5.0.1 I would just do the same thing again, but iOS 5.0.1 isn't an option. I attached a screenshot. Hopefully Apple can get this nonsense sorted out; I think iOS 5 might be the root of this, somehow.

  • Tried updating to firefox 5 but my computer is, little too old for it. is there a place i can get firefox 4 again?

    before it told me i wouldn't be able to use 5, it deleted 4

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • Can you tell me how many photo's, apps and songs can a 128gb new mac air hold. thanks

    Hi, can you please tell me how many songs, apps, photos a new 128gb mac air hold?
    thanks

    oddly someone asked me that question months ago.
    A: you would never ever want your entire SSD full of pictures, for many reasons.
    Average pic is 1.5 MB
    70,000 pics at 1.5MB will = 102GIG
    So, if you had your Air with average number of APPS, and took ALL THE FREE SPACE and jammed it up with pics (which nobody should ever ever do)
    you could jam in 70,000 pics  ....roughly
    NO computer is a data storage device,  .......buy an external 1TB HD for $70
    Never consider any computer a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device. Anyone who thinks data is safe on any computer, even copied upon multiple partitions is making a mistake that will, without fail, strike.

  • I can't see my old list of bookmarks (they vanished) and nor can I add new bookmarks, plus my 'back' button wont work, i have to press backspace! WHY?!

    I had an awesome list of my bookmarks before and one day all but three vanished. I don't remember updating or installing anything new. Anyway, I tried to import bookmarks from a few days before and then they all disappeared! Now I can't add any new ones at all. not only that but my back and forwards buttons don't work (aka they don't go blue when I go from site to site on the one tab if you understand what I'm saying?)
    Can anyone help me get my list of bookmarks back at least?

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    My Mac is a 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 OS X 10.6.8 - wanting to download Mavericks but install goes to pause with no status info.  Is my Mac too old for upgrade?

    If it were too old, the App Store wouldn't download it.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

    Can't open a document I created an hour before with Pages 5.0.1; get message saying my Pages is too old, for me to download 5.0.1

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • HT4759 I cannot upgrade to mountain lion b.c. my Mac is too old; therefor no icloud. So, now, how can i sync up my devices?

    My mac is too old for an upgrade to mountain lion. I tried from the app store and says it is not eligable, even though i have most recent snow leopard upgrade. My question then, is how do i sync up my devices? I put events on my calendar on my ipod, but they are not syncing with my imac calendar desktop. Please help!

    Not a problem.
    One last check ... read this list for applications that may not work under Lion: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    And make a good TM or clone (CarbonCopyCopy download for $40 or SuperDuper download for $30) in case you need to start over or decide to go back.

  • I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard. But my Snow Leopard install disk is too old for Windows 7, so attempted Boot Camp install of drivers fails.

    I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard. But my Snow Leopard install disk is too old for Windows 7, so attempted Boot Camp install of drivers fails.
    I have hand-installed the NVidia graphics driver, and I have keyboard, minimal trackpad, and hardwire to internet all working. So the WIndows machine is usable. But I am hurting for wi-fi, better trackpad, and whatever else is delivered by Boot Camp. I can't use any of the Boot Camp upgrades because I do not have XP or Vista.

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use Boot Camp. There's a Boot Camp Support Community where everybody uses Boot Camp. You should also post this question there.

  • "Snapshot too old" for a report program

    We get "ORA-1555 error:  snapshot too old" for a report job, NOT an update job.
    We can add rollback segments to the DB.
    Why we cannot increase the commit frequency to fix this issue?
    Thanks!

    > 1. create a big rollback segment. search the web for keyword PSAPROLLBIG.
    > 2. convert to PSAPUNDO, as started by others, check SAP note 600141.
    > 3. analyze the program and if it is a Z program, ask your program to add more commits in his program.
    HI all,
    of course Stefan and Eric have already given the right hints here.
    But the main point here is not the configuration of the UNDO management.
    I know that this kind of problems bears a big mental hurdle in it, which is also difficult to jump over for many supporters.
    The notion of Undo/Rollback data beeing used mainly for ROLLBACK actions is unfortunately totally wrong.
    The primary and main usage of this data is to deliver the consistent view (as already explained in this thread).
    So the single big question here is: why does a single statement of your report needs to visit so many pages from a certain point in time?
    In the wast majority of cases this is because the statement is badly tuned.
    Maybe there is no appropriate index available.
    Or it's just written badly, so that unnecessary data must be read by Oracle.
    Maybe the CBO does something wrong which must be checked.
    Maybe the data is scattered over too many blocks and clustering them together somehow could help
    The core point here is: figure out what causes the statement to touch so many pages and fix that.
    Then you are most likely to come over this problem.
    All other recommendations, especially the move to automatic undo management: full ack.
    But the solution to your problem is to fix your statement.
    regards,
    Lars
