Memory died, replaced but now can't print with apple apps

User installable memory died, kernel failures, finally froze, replaced, all better but had to use Diskwarrior to clean up mess on hard drive. Now everything works BUT I can't print from Apple apps. MSOffice updated and prints, Safari, appleworks etc. don't all crash when printing. Cleaned out Printing PPD's, printer defs in Library, reinstalled printers from scratch, disk repair, etc. Even rezapped PRAM again. No luck.
Seems like this is tied to an apple OS function I haven't found yet.
Anybody got any ideas before I reinstall the OS?
thanks

Thanks Greg,
Well, bottom line, had to nuke the HD and reinstall the entire system. Everything is fine. Seems the archive and install couldn't deal with the degree of disk confusion caused from the declining memory prior to failure.
thanks

  • Just got a macbook, and I cannot print on my printer. I used to be able to print on my printer with my old Dell laptop, but I can't print with my macbook. I can see the printer network on on my macbook, it says it is my default printer, but I can't print.

    I just got a macbook air and I cannot print on my home printer which is networked through my wife's window based computer. I can see the wifi network, I can see the printer, it is set as my default, but I can't print.
    Any ideas?

    You may have to visit the printer manufacturer's web site and look into their support pages to get a print driver for your Mac, and install it. Or see if you can see if a driver may already be in your Mac by checking settings, since there are many drivers already installed in Mac OS X.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro, but now can't print any .pdf.

    Have Window 8. I downloaded Acrobat Pro from Kivuto, deleted it at suggestion of Adobe help chat, and downloaded it again last night. I have tried multiple .pdf documents on both printers. My wife logged into her work computer through Citrix and used Acrobat Pro from the high school where she works, and still can't print. Any ideas?

  • My os doesn't support upgrade of firefox but now can't reply with emails on hotmail or open pics and other applications with older firefox. How to solve this?

    I have an older imac. It works well but I can't open a lot of files/applications or even reply to emails on updated hotmail version. My os is 10.2.8 and I am using 2.0.0.20. My OS can't handle later versions. I can't buy latest upgrade from MAC (snow leopard or whatever latest is) because my computer not compatible with higher/newer upgrades. I want to use my computer but be able to have hotmail work and open pics etc. I don't know what to do.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Today is when I can no longer reply with hotmail, they ask me to upgrade to newer but need higher firefox to do so.

    Following the Hotmail update by Microsoft, they have dropped support for Firefox 2, and now require at least Firefox 3, which will not run on your OS. Hotmail now requires at least Safari 4 so that is not an option for you either.
    There are a couple of browsers you could try, they are not specifically mentioned on the system requirements for Hotmail so I can not guarantee that they will work. The first is [http://www.opera.com/download/?os=mac&ver=9.64&local=y Opera 9.64] (Opera 10 will not run on your OS) and [http://www.icab.de/dl.php iCab 4.8]

  • Hard Drive was replaced, but now can't get Apple Backup to restore data

    My iMac had a damaged hard drive, so I replaced it and reinstalled Mac OS 10.4, along with iLife 06. My iMac is now up and running again (prior to hard drive replacement it froze and was then unable to get up and running again without repeated attempts at powering down and then up).
    Here's my problem. Prior to the replacement, I'd been using Apple's Backup program to backup all my iPhoto and iTunes files to an external harddrive. The files are on the external harddrive, but when I use Backup to restore them, the opened and allegedly restored files have no data in them. (I've been using "restore to alternate location" and putting the restored data in a shared folder on the iMac. Backup runs, and says the data is in this shared folder, but when I go to import data from them, they are empty.)
    Fortunately, I did a wholesale copy of my old desktop to my external hard drive in July when it became clear I'd have to replace hard drive, so I was able to get most of my photo and music files restored from that. But from July to October, I used Backup exclusively to save new pictures or music and now I can't find a way to get that data restored (short of trying to pull off the old damaged harddrive).
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    I have to admit that the lack of response is somewhat frustrating...

  • TS1372 I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen?  Error code 1416, any help?

    I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen?  Error code 1416, any help?

    When I did a Google search on "1416 error ipod 5th," there is some discussion that the earlier version of the logic board only accepted 30 and 60 GB drives (or words to that effect), but the later "5.5" version did allow larger capacity drives.  If that info is true, the question is, do you have a compatible combination of logic board and hard drive?

  • AGFA ppd driver worked but now reports the printer is busy?

    AGFA ppd driver worked but now reports the printer is busy?  The network location is definitely available by looking at the shared folders.  I can print through the network using the other Mac Book Pro that has the same OS and Driver.  This happened after the printers were cleared off and I had to reinstall them individually.  The driver was placed in th users profile printers folder and then applied to the IPP priter during setup a before.  -Any help is appreciated

    You're profile indicates your Mac has v10.5.1 installed.
    If that is correct, you need to update to v10.5.8.
    Click Software Update from your Apple  menu drop down menu or open System Preferences > Software Update.
    After the update is installed, restart your Mac.
    Turn off the printer then turn it back on then try printing via USB.
    If that didn't help, try here >  Mac OS X 10.5: Included printer drivers

  • My iPhone and my iPad are connected by wi-fi, but I can't print on HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus. On the other hand, I can print over wi-fi from PC. What can I do?

    Hallo, thank you for trying to help. Here is my problem:
    In the past, the airprint was possible without problems from iPhone 4 and iPad 2. Since today it doesn't work anymore. My iPhone 4 and my iPad 2 is connected by wi-fi and I can serve in the internet. But I can't print on HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus. On the other hand, I can print over wi-fi from PC.
    There are low ink-levels and therefore a message comes to indicate this by printing from PC. iPhone and iPad are accepting the print order without any messages after, but does't excecute the print.
    What can I do?

    Hey helmut,
    You can also try the ePrint method listed here if you can't get AirPrint working:

  • All of the music on my Ipod Touch is blown out after I synched it with my new MacBook. I didn't get the 'synch' warning-- but now can't find my library of songs. I'm about to panic!

    All of the music on my Ipod Touch is blown out after I synched it with my new MacBook. I didn't get the 'synch' warning-- but now can't find my library of songs. I'm about to panic!

    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcuded synced media like apps and music. Thes those iTunes are not restored to the iPod unless they are in the iTunes library.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
