Macbook Pro  lost ability to see printers

Have several printers never a problem.  Now not only wont it print, it won't find any.  I tried printing, and it all looked OK, but it kept looking for the printer.,  This was over wifi.  Then I even tried plugging it in direct via USB.  Still would not see it.  So I thought I would delete what I had, hoping it would start fresh.  Does not see any printers.  Try to add one, none shows up.  I have reset printer settings, nothing.  plugged unplugged printer, rebooted Mac.  Re installed drivers for printer.  Just have no idea what happened.  Never have I had a problem with printers before.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated. 
Kind regards to who ever can help!!

Computer does not see any printers. 
Thanks for the suggestions, but none worked. I read the articles, most of the things I had already done.  My problem really wasn't mentioned.  My computer does not see any printers. No printer shows up when I try to add one. When I plug the USB directly from the printer, none show up in the add list.  I have never had that happen.  where ever I have been not only did it see printers, it printed seamlessly from them.  Have no idea what changed.  Still looking for some help.  I tried installing printer repair software, and it wasn't updated enough for my system.  I appreciate any help.  Real problem, computer does not see printers.

  • I have a new macbook pro.  I'm seeing my wife's iphone contacts on my icloud.  I can't figure out how to get my iphone contacts synced up with my new macbook and get rid of her contacts.  Suggestions?

    I have a new macbook pro.  I'm seeing my wife's iphone contacts on my icloud.  I've done everything I know to do to make sure my apple id is correct and has my information.  I can't figure out how to remove her contacts and add my iphone contacts to the cloud or my macbook pro.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • How do I set up LiveRig or TouchOSC with Mainstage 2.2.2? Both apps send signals but none are received by Mainstage and both the ipad 3 (6.1) and macbook pro (10.7.5) see each other via WIFI?

    As I said before both app's send signals but none are received by Mainstage and both the ipad 3 (6.1) and macbook pro (10.7.5) see each other via WIFI on the network set up, which I think I did right. I have tried MIDI Disigner and Mainstage shows MIDI activiti, what can I be doing wrong?
    Thanx in advance.

    I agree anti-relay can be using UBE feature. However, there is serious problem in reject the spam mail. My nms is using UBE feature to stop spam mail. According to the work flow of the UBE, the mail is received by nms completely and UBE is going to invesgate the mail address. Although UBE can stop the spam mail, the spam mail have a trouble in returning the mail to the sender. The reason is the sender address is usually not existed in the world. That will cause a lot of mail waiting in the mail queue.
    In my experience, do not use UBE for anti-relay.

    If you can't get dragging to work, just click on Safari from your Applications folder, and it should appear in the dock. Then you can right-click on the icon and PIN it permanently there.

    You showed a kernel panic file from OS X, apprantly Log Me In is installed into OS X or running when you log in.
    You should be using the developers installer/unistaller to remove Log Me In from OS X.
    Somehow it's in OS X, I don't know, but it's there and you need to remove it. I'm not dealing with Windows, just OS X.
    Talk to Log Me In people and find out what is installed where so you can do a manual deletion out of OS X.
    If that doesn't work, you have to reboot holding the Shift key down manually search for any Log Me In or Himachi files on your computer, in your System/Library/Extensions folder too, use the free Easy Find.

  • Recently when I connect Iphone 4s and MacBook Pro my computer stopped see new photos on Dropbox.

    Recently when I connect Iphone 4s and MacBook Pro my computer stopped see new photos on Dropbox.  I have changed iCloud password on Mac and Iphone, nothing.  Deleted some pictures of iPhone, didn't help.  Any ideas what I did to mess this up?

    I cannot deleted.  Computer keep telling that my dropbox is open.  Don't see how to shot it off.  Do I need to delete all pictures from dropbox first and delete application after.  Will I loose all these pictures? Usually, I copy all photos to iphoto app.

    New Time Capsule will not back up my 2009 MacBook Pro. I can see and find my last back before Mavericks but cannot backup. The TC will not allow me to delete or start a new backup disk. My 2024 MacBook Air did the same yesterday but today it backs up.

    Seems to be working now. I left the MacBook on all morning trying to back up and now works.

  • MacBook Pro lost and now won't detect wifi in the house - HELP!

    I'm using a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard.  I'm staying at a friend's home which provides wifi via Shaw Cable.  We've been here for a week.  When we arrived the MacBook detected the wifi in the house and I was able to sign in without any difficulty.  Suddently, today in the middle of a web chat with a customer service provider, the connection was lost.  When I attempt to reconnect it detects other networks but not the one in the house.  I've rebooted the MacBook, rebooted the modem, turned airport on and off, deleteted all remembered networks (then rebooted), attempted to manually enter the network name and password all without success.  
    Other devices are connected: my iPad and a Windows PC.  I can connect the MacBook via ethernet and it works. So I know the connection and modem are working.
    Most solutions I've see talk about resetting either the channel (to 11) or changing some other setting on the modem.  Since this is not my house or system, I don't have access to the modem settings.  Nor do those solutions make sense since I was connect for 6 days without any issues.
    Does anyone have any idea how to get the MacBook to detect the network again?

    Might be corrupted network preferences ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go then move all the files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Turn off the base station for about ten seconds then turn it back on.
    Then try Wi-Fi.
    Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.

  • MacBook Pro can no longer see the hard drive

    I've got a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo, 15-inch.
    Okay, so I was chasing the nazis out of North Africa in Call of Duty 2 when the game froze. Command-Option-Escape was unresponsive, so I held down the power button to shut the whole thing down. When I brought it back up, I got the flashing folder icon.
    After yelling a few words I shan't repeat here, I booted off the installation DVD, then started up Disk Utility to try to repair the disk. However, Disk Utility only sees the DVD; it doesn't see the hard drive at all. Neither does Startup Disk or System Profiler. (The hard drive would be under the ATA section in System Profiler's menu, right? It only shows the DVD drive.) If I try to go ahead with the OS X installation, at the "Select a Destination" screen, where the list of disks should be is disturbingly blank. So according to every method I've tried so far, it's as if my hard drive has been entirely disconnected.
    This was my Christmas present, and I was hoping to get at least two years out of it, not two weeks. Anyone have any idea how to get this beautiful machine back on its feet again? I'm familiar with Unix and not afraid of using the command line, but I'm not sure what to try there.

    Okay, second question: How does this forum software work? According to the thread list, someone named MacWizard has replied to this thread, but I can't see it.
    MacWizard, if you could email your reply to spearbrave at gmail point c0m so I can read it there, I'd appreciate it.

  • Macbook Pro Retina doesn't see internal SSD drive

    Hi Guys,
    I have a problem with my Macbook Pro Retina 13(late 2012). Yesterday I've done clean install of Yosemite. Everything worked fine, and I wanted to restore my files using Time Machine. So I restarted it (command +R), plugged in my extertal hard drive, turned on TM restore option and chose my SSD drive as a place to install. Mac asked me to enter password for the SSD (default filevault2 in yosemite), I entered the password, system accepted it and then something went wrong. System told me to restart mac and try again. I restarted it, and did like previous but this time, my mac stopped to see his internal SSD drive. System was asking where to install yosemite form Time Machine and there were no drive to choose. I turned on disc utility, and I see my SSD drive there but I can't erase it, or unlock (picture in appendage). I can only verify disc and it shows that drive is fine. I've tried to install Yosemite on my external drive and boot from there,to unlock SSD in settings(I've chose my Ex. drive as a place to install Yosemite) but it didn't work. I even tried internet recovery (command+option+R) but I didn't help, SSD drive was still useless.
    I think my SSD is still locked, but I don't know how to unlock it now. I don't need to use Time Machine anymore(I have my files in other drive too). It can be clean install but please, can somebody tell me what to do? I have exams this week and really need a computer :<

    Start your mac up by holding the alt key. That is boot from function.
    If its empty then you might have a hard drive issue. Due to your hard drive being picked up but not the partition on the drive. This will most probably be a OS X reinstall.
    Erase the drive and reinstall the OS X or run a recovery mode.
    Good luck

  • Imac and Macbook pro can no longer see one another

    I'm not sure why, but all since I upgraded to Yosemite, I can no longer see my iMac on my Macbook Pro and vice versa. I could always see the computer that I needed to connect to in finder, or I could connect with my iCloud password. As of today, I can no longer access my iMac from my Macbook Pro and that's a problem. If someone could provide directions (dumbed down version) explaining how to connect the computers from scratch, I would greatly appreciate it. I am fine with setting it up again but I can't recall how I did it.  Thanks so  much. I did upgrade both my iMac and MacBook pro to Yosemite over the weekend.

  • I can boot up my macbook pro but all i see is the wallpaper and the dock and the toolbar at the top. I can not see my hard drive or anything else. please help

    Please help. I can boot up my macbook pro and log in but after that all i see is the wallpaper, toolbar and the dock. In the dock it has 2 ? where the doc and download folders should be.  If I open up a new finder window it doesnt show anything in there no hard drive or anything. If anyone konws how to help let me know please and thank you.

    Agree with baltwo, though even if you have saved the install app I wouldn't use it unless its been used to install a known good copy of the OS already.
    In your case, that probably means start fresh:
    Restart the computer, holding down 'command' and 'r'. When the recovery disk window shows, choose 'Reinstall Mac OS X'.

  • MacBook Pro 15" won't see DVI display behind KVM switch

    I have a Gefen single-link DVI switch connected to a 24-inch Dell display. My MacBook Pro will detect the display if I connect it directly to the MacBook Pro's Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, but if the KVM switch comes in Detect Displays finds nothing.
    Is anyone else able to get their MacBook Pro involved with a KVM switch?

    Turns out the cable I was using had pin 16 pulled out on it (for most of our systems using DVI KVM switches this was a good idea). I connected a full DVI cable and then MacBook Pro saw the display.
    Then came the problem that when switching AWAY from the MacBook Pro the MBP would act like the display was disconnected, reconfiguring itself to go back to its built-in display only. So then I connected a Gefen DVI Detective between the MBP and the switch and then the MBP would behave as desired, still "seeing" the display even while I was switched away from it.
