Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 Add printer - Advanced grayed out

Trying to add a printer with advanced under the add printer. But all the fields is greyed out? Unable to fill in some fields?
Please advice.

If you use the normal Windows icon or even one of the IP protocols, instead of the Advanced menu, can you enter data there? Just wondering if it is just the Advanced menu that is blocked for you?
Also, you can add a printer using the CUPS web interface (http://127.0.0.1:631/admin). Wonder if this is working for you?
If neither of the above are working, then I would suggest a reset of the printing system. This will remove all devices from Print & Scan but not the supporting drivers.

I updated my 2009 Mac to Mountain Lion yesterday but cannot add photos from my iPhoto library to contacts anymore. Drop down menu only shows "default, recent and camera" but I cannot get to iPhoto library.

Mac os x lion with HP c309a. Printing to cd not supported. Advice?

I'm runing Mac OS X Lion, v 10.7.2 and I have an HP c309a all-in-one printer. I'd like to print onto a cd. The printer was made to do so and has a special insert for the cd. In previous versions of OS X, it has worked fine. When I use MS Word or Pages to try to print onto a CD, the option is greyed out and is not selectable. I reinstalled the HP drivers for Lion from the Apple support site and nothing changed. Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this?

I don't have a HP printer so cannot confirm this, but with my Canon printer I need to make a couple of settings for CD/DVD printing. Maybe the HP is also expecting another setting to be set so that the CD printing can be selected.
Another thought is that you may need to use a particular HP software to print to CD's on Lion. Were you able to print from Word or Pages onto CD with the previous version of OS X.

Cannot add new printer, selection grayed out

I have been using a brother MFC-9420CN. I have been sharing this printer with a windows computer over a wireless network. It has worked flawlessly since I hooked it up. After the last 10.4.6 update for the OS the printer no longer works. I first noticed it when I selected print from a menu. The top selection said the printer name but there was a grayed question mark next to it. I opened the printer utility. The printer was there but would not work. So I removed it from the list and went to add it once again. When I clicked on add a new menu popped up. The menu searched for new drivers and then stopped. On the bottom of the menu is three selections. One for name, one for location and one for print using. They are all grayed out. Because there is no selection in the above menu for me to choose. I tried deleting all the brother print drivers in /library/printer/brother folder. Then I reinstalled. Same problem. I cannot selet a printer now. I also tried hooking it up diretly and nothing happened. I then tried the IP printer selection. At the bottom there is a print using selection. It shows the brother cups driver but when selected and then I choose to add it a message comes up that says "An error occured while trying to add the selected printer error code 50" The printer still works over the wirless connection on the windows computer. Thanks for any help...
mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1 gig Ram

I found a work around for this matter. Most of the time, I use spotlight to remove anything on the hard drive that has anything to do with "Brother Printers" Then I reload the CD that came with the printer and it works ok. Every now and again if I cancel the print job on the printer the computer will do this hiccup and say there is no printer. This is my work around.

Add (+) search criteria grayed out

When searching in a finder window, the normal ( +) button to add search criteria is disabled. I thought maybe I had a corrupt preference file, so I trashed all the .plist files that seemed to relate to the finder. Whe I restarted, the button was back, but only for a few minutes. After that, it went back to being disabled.
It looks like this attached image, with the button grayed out, and a ( - ) instead of a ( + ).
The problem is isolated to my primary user account. Others on the same machine are unaffected.
I looked over the discussion boards, and can't find anyone else with this problem, but maybe I don't know the right terminology. Any help would be appreciated.
What am I missing?

I narrowed it down further. This finder bug only appears when I use Command-N or click the Finder icon in the dock to create a new window.
If I double click any folder icon or drive on the desktop, the finder window that pops up has the ( + ) icon enabled, exactly as it should. What is going on?

Why are Aperture Add Effect options grayed out?

Hello. I just bought a new iMac and moved all my data in from a Time Capsule. I frequently select "all images" and use the Quick Fixes option within Add Effect under the photos tab on the top left corner of the screen to run a batch process. But now when I try it all of the options are grayed out. I can highlight a couple of images and the option is available where normally running a batch is a non-issue. Thanks in advance for any ideas and help.

But now when I try it all of the options are grayed out.
Are all Adjustments greyed out, or only the effects in the in the "Effects > Quick Fixes" menu? And does it only happen, when you are trying to adjust more than one image?
Check these possible reasons for disabled adjustments:
Are you in Quick Preview mode? Then no adjustments will be available at all.
If the Quick Preview button is highlighted, disable it.
Do you have "Primary only" enabled? (the framed "1" button to the left of the Quick Preview button). Then deselect it.

"Add to Audition" grayed out

I have a multicam clip that I created and is edited by varioius angles in the timeline. However, there is a section of it I wan to possible replace with a re-do of that section. I have a seperate multicam clip ready to go and I want to use the audition feature.
I first too the section of the clip in the timeline I wanted to have as an audition option and made it made it a new compound clip. When I attempt to drop in the second clip ontop of it to create an audition, I get the white overlay and drop the clip onto it. However, the context menu comes up will not allow me to use teh clip as an audition. "Add to Audition" and "Replace and Add to Audition" are both grayed out.
What am I doing wrong? How do I add the clip to create and audion between the two clips? It shoudln't matter that they are multicam, shoudl it?

I think I need to clarify the situation. There is no additional "Angle" to add. Its a completely different clip. Using another clip to audition against another clip doesn't defeat the object at all.
I had three cameras recording a clip which were combined into a single multicam clip, no prob. The subject (doing a sort of how-to video) explained a process one way. However, after we compelted that filming, we decided to do that section over and have the subject explain it another way. So I made a second multicam clip. They are not sure which one they will like better. So I have multi-clip #1 and multi-clip #2. Two compeltely different recordings (just each utilizing multi-camera instead of a single camera clip). mc#1 and mc#2 don't share anything in common. Thus I want to be able to audition one edited multicamera clip #1 against multicamera clip #2.
I was able to get it to work IF I select the clip in the timeline (#1) and select Duplicate As Audition. Then it created an identical copy and for some reason, then I can drop the new clip (#2) on top and it allows me to add it to the auditon. Then I just delete the un-needed copy. Not sure why that worked, but it does. Now I have both #1 and #2 mc clips availanble for audioion. Gotta be an easier way. But at least it works.

Add WPS Printer ALWAYs grayed out

This is driving me nuts. I've searched high and low and can't figure out how to get this "Add WPS Printer..." menu item to light up. I'm following the (very poorly documented) proceedure provided by Canon for my Pixma Pro-100. What am I missing?

I was able to get it to ungray out by clicking on the AirPort Extreme and authenticating. Then it appeared.
I had to do it a few times, and the sequence that seemed to work was starting WPS on the router first, then starting the search on the printer.

"Add New Printer" can't finish setup...grayed out

Can anyone please help me with this?
I have a Brother MFC-290c multifunction USB'ed into my Extreme Gigabit. It shows up there in Airport Utility.
Upon printer setup in the Preferences Pane I click the + symbol to add a new printer. The Brother shows up at that point and where it is connected but the "Add" button is grayed out as though I need to select a driver as well yet there is no driver suitable in the drop down list. Do I need to install my Brother driver onto my Powerbook before this will work?
The setup guide makes no mention of this in the section on adding a printer.

Congratulations, you have just entered the crappy side of Apple, Leopard. I have the same problem with my HP 5510 attached to my Extreme 802.11n. It works great form my little powerbook running Tiger (the best OS I have ever used), but me and my wife just bought new Macs and of course both have leopard and neither will print. We have the same no river in list issue. I have spent countless hours trying to fix personally and with both Apple and HP. Both sugest that I spent even more money to purchase a new Printer that will work. Yeah so it will no longer work when Sow leopard comes out... Thanks Apple/HP...
Sorry, to here about the bad luck... I'd like to suggest doing a Google on Cups and Gutenprint although I am not sure if anyone is supporting these anymore.

I just got a new Macbook and I put all music on a flash drive from my PC to mac. Some music (seems to be the newer purchases) are grayed out and will not play??

I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro. All of my music was on a PC computer. I don't really know how to work with PCs but I am more than familiar with Macs. I have an iPhone with all of the grayed out music on it and they play fine. They play on the PC too. But when I transferred them over, they just won't play. There is also a little cloud with an arrow pointing downward which I thought meant download.
So I read another thread that said to log out of itunes and this would be fixed. I logged out and back in again and now the grayed out music is GONE. Just gone. I have everything on a flash drive still, so no big deal but is there a way I can get all of the music to download? And not be grayed out this time?

Hi there,
It sounds like your purchased content is not transfering via a flash drive. It may be easier to re-download this contnet directly from iTunes. Take a look at the article below for mor information.

After quitting FF 8.01 on a Mac with OSX 10.5, restarting the Mac then starting FF, the offer to Restore Previous Session is grayed out. Is there any way I can recover the list of pages open when FF was last quit?

Had about 15 windows w/ tabs open. System was a little sluggish and had not been rebooted in weeks so I Quit FIREFOX. Restarted the Mac, then FIREFOX. Option to Restore Previous Session was grayed out. I haven't used that computer since, hoping not to overwrite record of previous session.
I've used the Restore Previous Session feature many times before without any problems.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

SQLDeveloper 3.1 on Mac OS X Lion

Hi guys,
sorry for reposting, but this is really pressing -- doesn't anyone use SQLDeveloper on Mac OS X Lion?
I have a pretty recent Mac OS X System (10.7.3, today updated from 10.7.2 -- the problem existed there as well) with Java 1.6.0_29:
localhost:~ bgd$ /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -version
java version "1.6.0_29"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11-402-11D50b)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02-402, mixed mode)
I installed SQLDeveloper 3.1.0.7.42 on this system and I've encountered the following two problems:
1. the connections aren't saved. Everytime I delete the ".sqldeveloper" directory in my homedir, SQLDeveloper starts without any problems. I can add a connection, test it, connect to the database and even saving it doesn't show any errors. A "connections.xml" file is generated but empty:
localhost:~ bgd$ find .sqldeveloper/ -name connections.xml -ls
1733256 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 bgd bgd 0 Feb 9 17:43 .sqldeveloper//system3.1.07.42/o.jdeveloper.db.connection.11.1.1.4.37.59.48/connections.xml
If I start the SQLDeveloper w/o deleting the "~/.sqldeveloper" directory I always get the following errors:
oracle.jdeveloper.db.DatabaseConnections DatabaseConnections has no JNDI context so cannot list connections.
oracle.jdevimpl.db.adapter.DefaultContextWrapper Failed to create naming Context for db connections at url: file:/Users/bgd/.sqldeveloper/system3.1.07.42/o.jdeveloper.db.connection.11.1.1.4.37.59.48/connections.xml
oracle.jdevimpl.db.adapter.DefaultContextWrapper Failed to create naming Context for db connections at url: file:/Users/bgd/.sqldeveloper/system3.1.07.42/o.jdeveloper.db.connection.11.1.1.4.37.59.48/connections.xml
The connections.xml file remains empty, no matter how may connections I add and "save".
2. After I make a connection to a database, I try the "SQL Worksheet" option (either by right-clicking the DB Connection or thru the menu "Tools->SQL Worksheet"). But nothing happens (except for the dialog "Select connection" when calling thru the "Tools" menu) -- no new window, no "SQL Workshop" space on the right canvas, nothing.
I've googled the first problem (the second one is pretty hard to "formulate") and, based on the results, I also tried the following:
- Set the right Java Home in sqldeveloper.conf and sqldeveloper-Darwin.com:
SetJavaHome /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
- tried to add the following lines to sqldeveloper.conf and sqldeveloper-Darwin.conf:
AddJavaLibFile ../../lib/java/api/jaxb-api.jar
AddJavaLibFile ../../lib/java/api/jsr173_api.jar
AddJavaLibFile ../../j2ee/home/lib/activation.jar
AddJavaLibFile ../../lib/java/shared/sun.jaxb/2.0/jaxb-xjc.jar
AddJavaLibFile ../../lib/java/shared/sun.jaxb/2.0/jaxb-impl.jar
AddJavaLibFile ../../lib/java/shared/sun.jaxb/2.0/jaxb1-impl.jar
- I checked, but there is no ORACLE_HOME variable set on my system
- Right now the java process looks like:
bgd 1411 0.0 3.9 3831552 326400 ??

Any hints what could be wrong? I'm running out of ideas here...

Hello John, hello Brian,
thanks for the fast answer!
So, I've "cleaned up" the conf files. Now they look like this:

java.ext.dirs /Users/bgd/Library/Java/Extensions:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/ext
It is a new Mac OS X Lion installation, but I've restored my home directory from a previous Mac OS X installation -- it is possible that some "old" files from the old installation (where I've also used SQL Developer, but deleted it) are interfering with the new one.
Greetings,

Mac OS X 10.7 drivers for HP LaserJet 1300: installation at the "Add Printer" process ended, every time, with message "Currently drivers for this printer are UNavailable..."! PLEASE HELP?

APPLE [see Apple Support's Article HT 3669] says Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) has drivers for this Printer.
But, every time I've tried installing it to my Mac Book Pro (which came with OS X 10.7), it does recognize that the Printer (connected via USB cable) is HP LaserJet 1300 -- in fact, right below, this statement appears: "The drivers for this Printer are available...". But, when it comes to the actual process of downloading, the "Add Printer" window -- after 20+ minutes of its "searching" for the drivers -- always ends with the message: "Currently drivers for this printer are UNavailable... contact the manufacturer."!!! (Can you imagine? Apple says it's available... but its own "Add Printer" process says it's UNavailable!)
I went to HP's support site, and it, too, says that drivers for this Printer are available! -- see the 2 links:
