New epson really messed up my powerbook

I loaded the drivers for the new printer and then immediately lost all my icons and my files on my desktop-ran the disc utility which showed quite a few revisions,still couldn't pick up my icons and files. Took my powerbook to the Mac store,finally got MOST,NOT ALL of my icons and files back,but the beachball of death still shows up repeatedly.Advised that something was corrupted. Now I've lost all my images on one version of iphoto and half of my podcasts and music-what happened? I have now taken the Epson back to Circuit City and trashed all the software and drivers. Bought an HP and loaded those drivers-icons and files still there,but not all of them and not the itumes and not the iphoto images. Help

OK - this is really simple.
Just open the one folder with the data files you changed (hopefully in one folder or the user's home directory)
Do a get info - and make the permissions as you like. Then click the "apply to enclosed items"
As you see - the diskwarior only fixes a corrupt directory and permissions repair by apple only fixes files installed by the system - not individual data files that a user created.

You never have to pay to reinstall a Mac's original OS. If that was Snow Leopard or earlier though, you need its original discs.
If the Mac was built after Lion was released, about August 2011, boot OS X Recovery - using two fingers hold the ⌘ and R keys while starting your Mac. When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select "Reinstall Mac OS X".

Photoshop CS2 crashing after installing new Epson printer

I just installed a new Epson Workforce 323 all-in-one printer, and its working fine. yay!
But now PS CS2 crashes on opening.
Just Photoshop - everything else is fine - Illustrator, GoLive, InDesign, Safari, Mail, etc.
I have a MacPro running OSX 10.4.11
I have other Epson things - 2 printers (C88 and 2200) and a scanner (1240U), and they've never been a problem.
The C88 printer died (I jammed paper in it, then had to rip it out, which messed up the print heads and all - otherwise it still 'worked', it was just all wonky), which is why I replaced it with this new Workforce 323.
I was on the phone with Epson support and they had no clue about the PS issue.
I had some guy online on "Just Ask" walk me through uninstalling drivers, etc. - also no help in the end.
Apple didn't know either.
So here I am.
Is this a known issue with CS2 and Epson? Do I need to upgrade CS2? Is there a patch or something?
Any help at all would be SO appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance,
Paula

Thanks - A tech guy just left the house, and sure enough, there were some Twain driver issues. I have more than one epson device, and after deleting stuff, then downloading and installing new ones, photoshop is working. PHEW.
My system pref folder was all corrupted too - very weird. Not sure what that was all about, but that's fixed too.
I appreciate your suggestions!

Cannot add my new Epson Artisan 725 to my printers list.

Hello,
I have a problem, i just bough a new Epson Artisan 725. The wireless set up works perfectly. But when it comes to add it to my printer list. It doesn't work.
A window pop up, telling me that there is a software available for this printer from Apple. I accept and it starts to look for the software. But suddently an error message appear telling me that the printer's software is currently not available. And to contact the manufacture of the printer.
I've been on Epson's website, and download a whole bunch of drivers, nothing works...
I'm getting irritated with this printer...
Can someone give me the solution ??
That would be amazing !
Thanks.
Matt

Hi again
You really are very helpful.All this is taking your time up so sorry
I followed your instructions to the letter and everything came up ok as far as the bit when I reached the 'admin' PW
then I kept getting a pink error page and couldnt go any further. Im sorry to be such a pain.
It seems it is requesting a user name which I ignored but once I add 'admin' it blocks me.
Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
If you get 4 replies then,try to adjust the browser settings...Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
Now,go to start>>>run and in the run box type http: "//192.168.1.1" without quote and hit enter.Now,it will prompt you for username and the password.Leave the username blank and type admin in the password.
Thanks Peanut

My iphone 3gs is really messed up

soooo My iphone 3gs is really messed up. i havnt been able to use it because it was reset and says "insert a valid sim card with no pin lock to activate iphone" i also dont have a sim card tray, and im getting the sim card tray sometime this week. the other prob is that it freezes. ALOT. i simply press the home button to turn it on and it freezes, so i have to let the battery drain, and i plug it back up, and it will slide open to the emergency calls screen, and sometimes itll freeze and i have to restart the whole process over. Also, itunes wont recognize (when its froze) and sometimes says "itunes cannnot connect to iphone because" either a invalid response was recieved, or an error occured (OxE8000084) and as we speak, its been on the apple logo "booting" up for about 5 minutes. i really need some help. also, the top power button doesnt work, so cant turn it off or put into DFU.

Get a SIM from your carrier, insert it and then restore the device as new, i.e. without a backup. That's the best you can do. If it still doesn't work, I wouldn't waste anymore time/money on it.
For the error, see this... http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221. Also, Google the error for more info.

I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it won't print. What is AirPrint and how do I connect it?

I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it still won't print. What is AirPrint & how do I connect to it?

Patti-
Is your Epson printer on Apple's list of AirPrint capable printers? See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356>.
If it is an AirPrint printer, then your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint. Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update, that will make it work.
One other possibility is that there could be a print job stuck in the iPad's print queue. Double click the iPad's Home button and a row of recent Apps will appear along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and see if the Print Center is there.

Problem with printing from new Epson CV16DTNF

I have a new Epson CV16DTNF printer (with Multipurpose Tray 1 and additional bulk feed Tray2).
I have set up presets in the normal way for A4 printing from bulk Tray 2 and DL envelope printing from Tray 1.
Each works OK individually but if I try to print A4 straight after an envelope, the Tray 2 paper feed setting is lost (reverts to Autoselect -Tray 1) and the printer starts printing A4 on envelopes!
Am i doing something wrong - if so what should I do to sort this out?

CS5 will not print on new Epson 3880, message paper out or paper not loaded correctly

CS5 will not print on new Epson 3880, message paper out or paper not loaded correctly

In the Print dialog box, click Print Settings and verify the Paper Size you chose. This is important because the 3880 has three paper feeds (auto sheet feeder, rear manual feed, front manual feed). And for each major paper size you have to choose not only the size but also the correct feed. For example, if you want US Letter, choose US Letter, notice that this menu expands to five more US Letter paper size options, and choose the specific US Letter paper feed you want.
If there is a mismatch between the paper size + feed combination you picked and the feed where the paper actually is, you can get the error that you're seeing. Because the Epson printer driver will look for the paper in a feed where there isn't any paper.
So if you've added US Letter paper to the automatic paper tray, in Paper Size double-check that you chose the US Letter submenu command that says just US Letter, not one of the other options like US Letter (Manual - Front).

Photoshop elements 13 will not print to my new epson wf-7620 error message;default printer could not be opened

frustrated! photoshop elements 13 will not print to my new epson wf-7620 error message;default printer could not be opened

I haven't been able to try this fix, but someone emailed me the below fix:
I had same problem.Elements13 would not open my new default printer, but worked ok on four other versions of Elements. No help from Adobe, after three days of searching & phoning adobe , I found out by:- Going into Elements 13, Press Edit button, down to "Preferences and across to general. Press the "Reset Preferences on next launch". I then suggest you go through each section to make sure that your chosen preference are still ticked/checked in.
It worked for me. Hope same for you.
I'm planning on trying this fix soon. Let me know how it goes for you if you get to try it before me. Will do the same. Thanks,
Chad

New Epson WF 7620 will not print with Macbook Air, receive "Print File Was Not Accepted" message.

Hello! To anyone who tries to help me, thank you in advance!
I brought home a new Epson WF 7620 yesterday and did all the necessary stuff, installing it with my Macbook Air (Mac OS X ; 10.7.4.). I installed the software from the site, added the printer to my printer list, enabled "print sharing" and connected it to my wifi network. I am trying to use it wirelessly.
I tried to print a test page of a regular PNG image, but I am receiving the "Print File Was Not Accepted" message in my printer queue. I have changed the file type a couple times to JPG and PDF but more of the same. I have also reset the printer, and have repaired the disk permissions in the Disk Utility to try and get it to work.
None of this seems to be working, suggestions very appreciated!
Thanks

Try Linc's suggestion first. That should cure your issue. If not, here's something else to consider:

Apple keeps a set of current software for Epson printers. You should start by going to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners and delete the printer from the list (using the "-" key). Then download Apple's software version from here:
Epson Printer Drivers v2.18 for OS X
Finally, set up the printer as shown here:
OS X: Connecting a Wi-Fi printer to your Wi-Fi network

How do print from photoshop CS3 to my new epson XP520 printer? The photos are now far too dark: never had this problem with any other printers?

Help please. I have a new Epson XP 520 printer and do not know how to set the CS3 print to get good results as my printed photos are now far too dark. Never had any problems with previous printers and despite changing settings have been unable to resolve.

System info? Exact print settings? Color management?

Don't know if this went through the first time. Cannon printer would not print black. bought a new Epson-800. Same problem. Can it be something in my Mac causing the problem. It's only the black that is not working.
