My Macbook pro OS 10.10.2 suddenly will not communicate with my Cannon MX890 printer.  I reset all printers and now I cannot seem to add a printer by using the Add a printer function.  Ideas?

The appearance of the printer in the Default view of the Add printer window relies on a protocol called Bonjour. There have been quite a few users who upgraded to Yosemite only to find that their wifi printer is no longer visible. Until Apple resolves this issue you can add your printer using the LPD protocol. To do so you will need to determine the IP address being used by the MX890. This can be done via the touch panel under Device Settings > Network Settings.
Once you learn the IP address then on the Mac you can click to add the printer and select the IP icon. Here you can enter the IP address, set the Protocol to Line Printer Deamon and leave the Queue field blank. Then change the name to Canon MX890 and in the Use menu, browse for the Canon MX890 series driver. Then click Add to complete the printer creation.

  • Suddenly will not communicate with PC

    I have had my iPod for 2 years with no problems.
    Now , when I try to download from itunes, although the computer makes the connection 'beep' and the ' do not disconnect' message shows - nothing else happens. When I give up and remove the ipod from the docking station, it works fine - but has not got any updated tracks. Whilst in the docking station you can hear the hard disk clicking.
    I have tried running update - but the software does not recognise that an ipod is 'mounted' even though again the pc has made the initial 'beep' when the ipod is docked.
    Any suggestions?

    What printer are you using?
    How are you connecting it to the computer?
    HP designed a quick and easy tool that diagnoses and resolves many printing, scanning, and connectivity problems: The HP Print and Scan Doctor. HP recommends that you download and install the Print and Scan Doctor any time you need to troubleshoot a problem with your HP printer from the link below.
    Let me know what errors you receive?

  • Downloaded 11.0.3 (42) 64 bit to my MacBook Pro and it crashes every time I select a song a use the 'add to' function to add to a play list. It's never done this before, is it a bug with the new version?

    You could just disable updates. Change these settings in about:config.
    * app.update.auto - set to false
    * app.update.enabled - set to false
    You can still check for updates with the "Check for Updates" button in the About Firefox window, but it will download the update file anyway if there is an update available. You can also check which is the current release from here:

  • MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) will not read an SD card in the SDXC card reader. Does anyone know whats going on?

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) will not read an SD card in the SDXC card reader. Does anyone know whats going on?

    Hi David.  I don't have as modern a Macbook Pro as you, mine is a 2012 model, but perhaps I can help.  I often find that my SD card will not load when I first insert it.  I have to remove it and then put it into the slot again firmly.
    You also haven't posted any information about the SD card.  What size is it, do you know how it is formatted, has it worked in that same mac previously, where did it come from, does it currently work in another device (such as your camera)?  This sort of information will help to narrow down the problem.
    If you post some more information I'm sure people will try to help you.  In the meantime, if you look at your post again you should see "More Like This" at the bottom of the page and you may find an answer in some of those related posts.
    Hope that helps.

  • Every time my MacBook Pro is put to sleep, it will not connect to the internet when reopened unless diagnostic assistant is performed. Ridiculous!

    Every time my MacBook Pro is put to sleep, it will not connect to the internet upon reopening unless I perform diagnostic assistant.

    Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
    Remember networks this computer has joined
    is checked.
    2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading
    Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
    3. Reset the PRAM.
    4. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    5. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
    6. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    7. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
    8. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
    9. Reset the System Management Controller.
    10. Reinstall OS X.

  • Just purchased call of duty 4 on my macbook pro 10.6.8 4GB but will not launch or open. Any suggestions, please.

    just purchased call of duty 4 on my macbook pro 10.6.8 4GB but will not launch or open. Any suggestions, please.

    Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you. Restart your Mac after the combo is installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8. Then try launching the app.
    if that doesn't help, try contacting the developer of the app >  http://support.aspyr.com/home

  • After upgrading my MacBook Pro, my 3rd generation i-pad will not charge.  It says the accessory (the charger) may not be supported.

    After upgrading my MacBook Pro, my 3rd generation i-pad will not charge.  The device says, "this accessory (the charger) may not be supported.  My i-phone 5 charged just fine.  Thanks.

    iPad: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 will not install.

    Hi
    The latest MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 will not install.
    It runs and I restart my Mac but when I search for more updates it appears as a required update again.
    Anyone know why this may be?

    I had the same problem today. I called Apple support who transferred me to second level support and no resolution. I decided to try a combination of the items I have seen below.
    I restarted my computer. I went to apple support download and downloaded the software EFI firmware update 2.0 by typing in search window. I made sure the power cord was pulled into the wall and the laptop had a FULL charge. I installed the update and the computer restarted.
    I went to check the software update window after the update and restart completed and SUCCESSFUL.
    I do not know why the Genius Bar or the second level support could not resolve my issues but, by me reading information here I hope at least this issue is resolved.
    Thanks ALL.......... Happy Mac ing

    Thank you for the answers so far, but I'll make one correction: I said earlier that the Boston Globe website, boston.com, does not have a mobile site, and I would need to visit their regular website on my iPhone. Actually, I just found out that boston.com has a mobile site, so I'd obviously use that instead of the regular site. By doing that, I'd save a ton of data (I think). Does that change your answers?

  • My hp probook computer(win 7, 64 bit) will not communicate with my photosmart c 6180 printer

    HELP! My hp probook computer(win 7, 64 bit) will not communicate (wireless)  with my photosmart c 6180 printer. I did have this problem about 6 months ago, and here it is again! I have uninstalled my printer driver,then reinstalled, turned off, and turned on all three , computer, printer, and router (verizon).  I tried the link that uses scan doc to determine the problem, but that too cannot find my printer. Also reinstalled the WEP in my printer.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hey there @kickbk00 , Welcome to the HP Community
    I saw your post about the wireless communication issues your Photosmart C6180 is having when connecting to your computer. I understand you have tried recycling the network devices, and uninstalled and reinstalled the printer to no avail.
    I would next suggest this troubleshooting guide below. Click the link and select your OS, Wireless Network, and "Solution two: Manually resolve the issue" and follow the steps in order:
    'Printer Not Found' Error Message Displays for the HP Photosmart C6100, C7100, and Officejet Pro L77...
    I hope the printer communicates with the computer afterwards and connects successfully!
    Please get back to me with the results!

  • MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2013, 11.3) will not install Windows 7SP1 Pro

    Hi All,
    I have had many go's at this, but I am unable to install Windows 7 bootcamp on my late 2013 15" retina macbook pro.
    First I'll head off with the specs:
    Model Name: MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier: MacBookPro11,3
      Processor Name: Intel Core i7
      Processor Speed: 2,3 GHz
      Number of Processors: 1
      Total Number of Cores: 4
      L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
      L3 Cache: 6 MB
      Memory: 16 GB
      Boot ROM Version: MBP112.0138.B02
      SMC Version (system): 2.19f3
      NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M (and the Intel of course)
      512GB SSD
      16GB USB3 thumbdrive
      Windows 7SP1-U
      Windows 8.1
    First try:
    Run bootcamp assistant (Version 5.1.2 (484))
    Let it run and run, changed the partition to 101GB, eventually at the installer screen it asks for drivers. Dunno which, but keyboard and mouse fully functional
    Second Try:
    Run bootcamp assistant (Version 5.1.2 (484))
    Update drivers from BootCamp5.1.5621
    Same issue... no drivers for, I don't know which driver
    Third Try:
    Run bootcamp assistant (Version 5.1.2 (484))
    Update drivers from BootCamp5.1.5621
    boot with alt and boot into osx
    remove the partition made by assistant and redo that by making a exFAT
    reboot and start windows installer from USB
    Same issue... no drivers for, I don't know which driver
    Fourth try:
    Same as third, but with a USB2 thumbdrive
    fail...
    Fifth try:
    Run bootcamp assistant (Version 5.1.2 (484))
    Copied Intel(R)_USB_3.0_eXtensible_Host_Controller_Driver (read it somewhere but cant find the page anymore, downloaded from the Intel site)
    Reboot, no KB/mouse so that failed
    Sixth Try:
    Run bootcamp assistant (Version 5.1.2 (484)) but with a Windows 8.1 ISO
    Update drivers from BootCamp5.1.5621
    Finally I had the opportunity to install Windows, but... v8. (and I want 7)
    Let the install continue, but exited after 1 hour staring at "almost finished"
    Seventh try:
    Run bootcamp assistant (Version 5.1.2 (484)) but with a Windows 8.1 ISO
    Update drivers from BootCamp5.1.5621
    boot with alt and boot into osx
    remove the partition made by assistant and redo that by making a exFAT
    reboot and start windows installer from USB
    Let the install continue, but exited after 45 minutes staring at "almost finished" (less patient this time)
    Eight try:
    Same as try #2, hoping to get lucky....?
    Unfortunately I can't come up with options. So any suggestions are welcome!
    Maybe Win7 will never install on this
    Maybe I need a different Windows 8 ISO
    Can't go back to OSX 10.8 as it's not supported on this Macbook.
    Ow... and why do I want Windows? Need to test several pieces of software which don't run on Mac
    (also wanna play the Windows games with Steam in freetime)
    Thanks!!!!

    There are two options, keep the Time Machine HDD connected full time or turn Time Machine off and on only when you want to make the backup.
