Mavericks Printer software tells me I need to install software?

While my printer is printing, Mavericks printer software throws an error telling me to install software for my printer.
I have reset printer list, I have replaced my EPSON folder in the \Library\Printers with one from a time machine backup. I have contacted EPSOn who gave me a fix that made my problem even worse. APP Store tells me I have no updates available for my printer. My printer will print, but Mavericks keeps throwing this error telling me to install software for my printer. Anyone know what this error is.
EPSON's site tells me to go to APP store and check for updates. The driver is version 9, which is the latest, but I am not sure why this is happening lately. Seemed to happen after the Printer update 2.18 on July 31st. I am not sure if I need to replace anything else from time machine other than the driver. I know there is a Photo Stylus R200.app that is buried in the private folder, but not sure if that is the issue. Trying to find the cause. The fact that my printer prints, shows up in a list when I delete it and add it back in makes me scratch my head. It does the same thing whether I am connected normally over WIFI or whether I plug the printer in directly to my Mac Pro.
I tried to reinstall the Printer 2.18 update and it just added a bunch more garbage to my EPSON folder for printer's I don't have on my system.

Ignore it. I get the same message for our Epson 4900, despite using the latest drivers from Epson which are for this printer. The only time I actually see the message is if I open the print queue. I've learned to completely ignore the yellow caution symbol on the Dock. It prints just as it should every time despite Mavericks' non stop warning.
The Mavericks driver for the Xerox 7500 also has a bug where it randomly reports the waste toner cartridge is full. You have ignore that one, too, and replace the cartridge only if the display panel on the printer itself says it's full.

Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

Ihave installed the latest Adobe flash player and youtube still tells me I need to install the latest adobe flash player. what is the problem?

I have installed the latest ersion of the Adobe flash player, and youtube still says I need to install the latest version of Adobe flash player in order to see the video. What's the problem?

You can check the version under Apple Menu > System Preferences > Flash Player. Did you quit and restart Safari after the install?

Why does it tell me I need to install the full version of flash player when I do have the full version installed.

I'm trying to open a pdf attachment that apparently has flash content in it. When I go to the download page, it says I need to install the full version. We are set up to distribute within our company because part of our network is offline. I assumed what we were downloading is the full version. Is there something else I'm missing?

Downloading from a browser? If so, what browser?

I have Shockwave but FireFox tells me I need to install the plugin.

When I try to use a web page that needs Adobe Shockwave, FireFox tells me the plugin is missing. I just checked for the add-on, and it says I have Shockwave Flash (I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but I assume so.). I tried installing the plugin, but it said "Installation failed" and then asks me to do it manually (which I can't do). I was wondering if it was something wrong with FireFox or if I actually don't have it?
In addition, all my plug-in's are enabled except the ones that have been automatically disabled by FireFox.

Unable to play games requiring plug-ins since update 3.6.6.it tells me i"need to install plug-in before playing" but they are installed

i can no longer use firefox as before update to 3.6.6...java takes forever,.. and if i try to play almost any game(even online games) i get message from firefox telling me i must install "plug-in"to be able to play. but,.i already have the correct plug-ins installed! i had NO problems at all until now!! help.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after last firefox update..3.6.6

Go to the site, click on a Help or Support link (sometimes at the bottom of the main page), click around until you find something like "system requirements" to see what is necessary for that site. THINK!!!
If you are trying to play Flash-based games, you do not even have Flash installed; look in Addons>Plugins in FF for Shockwave Flash.
You have what most would consider spyware/adware installed; "My Web Search" in Plugins. Google it, read about it and how to get rid of it.

Itunes x64 tells me I need to install 64-bit when i connect ipod

My problem is as stated in the title. I have tried several reinstalls. In fact, I even tried the 32bit install package which told me that the package was incompatible with my 64 bit version of windows 7.
I had it previously installed but had a very painstaking issue where whenever i connected my ipod touch(32gb 3rd gen), it would not be recognized and I would have to restore it. Even if I took it to another computer, it would then have to be restored. The ipod would sync fine after a restore but following a disconnect and a reconnect of the sync cable, the ipod would become unrecognized. My other computer (win XP) works fine with consecutive syncs.
So.. I'm really not sure what to do right now except for a clean install but I don't have the time to back up and do the whole thing. Any suggestions are welcome.

Solved it by opening the setup file in winrar and reparing "mobilesupport" (or something like that)

What is the deal with Firefox? I keep installing the new update, it restarts, and then it tells me I need to install the same update?

This is happening on my Mac, my husband's Mac at work, and his Apple laptop. What is the deal?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 37.0.2: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install or update Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the Firefox disk image file and drag the Firefox program into the Applications folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but instead drag it out of the DMG folder.

What OS do I need to install first on my Mac after a HD wipe?

Hi, I am doing my annual HD wipe on a 2008 iMac and I keep forgetting which OS is the most recent that I can install FIRST. If i recall correctly I couldn't just put Mavericks on last time, I needed Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard (can't remember which). I have Mavericks now, but I am planning on going to Yosemite. Also, if there is anyone with a computer as old as mine that has an argument on why i should NOT upgrade to Yosemite, please let me know. Thanks.
current computer :
imac 24"
Early 2008
Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 6 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Software OS X 10.9.5

If you made a bootable USB drive of your Mavericks installer, you can boot to that and install Mavericks directly. There's no need to install an older OS first. Likewise, if you have a separate bootable drive with the downloaded Mavericks .dmg installer anywhere you can get at it, you can run the installer from there, then choose the erased drive as the target to install Mavericks too. Again, without having to install an older OS there beforehand.
Macs with 4GB of RAM are not faring well with Yosemite. More features means more hardware requirements. You have 6GB, which may be alright for Yosemite, though I would personally recommend 8 as a real use minimum.

Once I installed FF 7.0.1, all websites with Quicktime videos will not play. Each page says I need to install QT. I'm on a Mac, OSX Lion. Everything worked in FF 6.*

I'm using a Mac, OSX Lion. I've been using Firefox for years. Lately I've been using version 6.**, meaning I keep the version up to date as updates come out. Quicktime videos have never been an issue. But, once I installed FF version 7.0.1, websites now tell me I need to install QT. This makes no sense. Worked in FF 6, doesn't work in FF 7. Videos on Apple's website won't play in FF 7.0.1. Says I need to install QT. Makes no sense, QT is part of the OS X Lion install.

I had the same problem with divx also and here is a solution that will work for both first install the firefox add on Add-on Compatibility Reporter that can be found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
next restart firefox then install the add on unplug that is found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unplug/
once that is done you might need to make sure that unplug is enabled. if done correctly after its setup you should be able to use the web player you have installed in windows to stream the videos you find on the net.

IPad iBooks is installed, but says I need to install iBooks to download a sample or purchase book

I have been using iBooks on my original ipad since it came out. Now, when I go to the store in iBooks and try to download a sample in iBooks or purchase a book, it tells me I need to install iBooks! This just happened in the last few weeks (since about early to mid-June 2011). I have tried deleting iBooks and reinstalling, and still get the same error. iBooks still seems to work normally on my iphone4. What else can I try, short of resetting the iPad to factory settings?

Scanning this forum, it seems that at least a dozen people have experience this problem. I am one of them.
I tried all the usual approaches to fix this: re-installing iBooks, cold reset of the iPad, resetting and restoring the iPad (very time-consuming) and none of this works.
Here is what you need to try: figure out when the problem first starting happening to you, and then delete any App you have installed since before the problem first appeared. I had the problem start about 4 days ago, so I deleted all the apps I had installed in the past week. THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM!
Then I started re-installing the Apps, one by one, until the problem came back. In my case, it was just one App, the mere installation of which causes the problem with iBooks on my iPad. The App in this instance is called OnSong, and I downloaded it on May 15 when it was temporarily free at the App store and had just been released with bug fixes.
My opinion is that the problem is not unique to OnSong. There are probably other Apps that can trigger this bug in the iOS. But I think the strategy of removing Apps that were installed at about the time the problem with iBooks sample downloads occurred, is a good approach for anyone with this issue to pursue.

Keeps telling me I need to install.

Upload dell printer software on my macbook, how can i tell if it is compatible?

I want to upload dell printer software on my macbook, how can I tell if it is compatible for mac's? I need to print a project for one of my classes and I would like to print at home but we only have a dell printer for my mom's dell laptop and I want to find if the software is mac compatible so I dont have to pay money at school to print it. Can anyone help?

Simply check developer site, search for that specific printer, and see what they say about compatibility. If you use Lion, connecting printer normally goes to download center, download driver, and you are there.
