New to Mac - cannot get past step 1 - installing new printer software!

Hello - just bought my first new iMac and an HP B110 wireless printer. Printer connected and basic printing fine - but the HP software on CD that allows you to add utilities to configure printer for double-sided printing etc does not appear to install. Installing the same CD on a windows machine makes all the HP utilities available - but they just don't install or even get prompted for installation when put into the Mac? I am therefore unable to use the full capabilities of the printer. Can anyone help here please. PS - it's supposed to be easier than this - isn't it?

  • New to Mac. How do I install a printer?

    I am trying to install a new printer. I have a Aficio MP C2800 from Ricoh. Went on their web page and downlaoded printer software but the printer did not show up as installed on MacBook. How do I install a new printer on MacBook Pro?

    Download the mac driver for your printer, from your printer manufacturer.
    Open the downloaded file in finder click on it and open it. If using wireless then set up the wirless network on your printer

  • I purchased PSE 12 November 25th and now a new computer and cannot get it on thew new MAC.

    I purchased PSE 12 on NOVEMBER 25 THE AND NOW A NEW MAC AND CANNOT LOAD ONTO NE W MACHINE

    Okay. First of all, not "our" people, since this isn't adobe--it's the user to user forum and we're just other customers like you. You're allowed to install PSE on two computers. What exactly happens when you try to install it on the other computer? You can never, never copy it over from an installed version. You must start from scratch on each installation. PSE is not a tidy package like the average mac app; its installer strews stuff all over your hard drive and neither you nor the migration assistant can ever find the bits.
    So a little more detail about just what you've been doing and how will help.

  • I cannot get pat step two of the download without buying a product?  I do not need the other products.

    I cannot get past step two of download without buying an app that I do not want?  Blocked plug in is persistent.  Help

    "blocked plugin" means you are using an outdated Flash Player version; Apple/Safari will block anything older than 15.0.0.189.
    You do not need to buy anything to download or install Flash Player; best use the offline installer http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm g

    Have you gone through the usual drill questions
    1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator?
    3. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 12?
    4. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    5. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    Have you done any uninstall/reinstall of the program yet? If not, hold off doing that until you evaluate the above.
    And, when you  uninstall/reinstall, please use the scheme
    a. uninstall the usual Control Panel way
    b. do a free ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts)
    If Windows CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
    If Mac CCleaner - Download
    c. reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    We will be watching for your progress.
    Thank you.

  • Was forced to install Adobe again (maybe just update it) and can't get past step 3/3 because its forcing me to buy it. now its half installed and i need to agree to terms and conditions..

    was forced to install Adobe again (maybe just update it) and can't get past step 3/3 because its forcing me to buy it. now its half installed and i need to agree to terms and conditions..

    Let's start with what you are trying to install. Adobe Reader is free, so it won't be forcing you to buy anything. So
    - What are you trying to install (full name, please, Adobe make lots of things)
    - What system (e.g. Windows 7, Mac OS Lion, iPad...)
    - Where do you go (what web address) to start off?
    - Why were you "forced" to do this?

  • When booting up I cannot get past the light blue logo with spinning disc. I have tried it with the install disc and using different keystrokes, i.e. "shift, s, c, o, " please advise. thank you in advance.

    When booting up I cannot get past the light blue logo with spinning disc. I have tried it with the install disc and using different keystrokes, i.e. "shift, s, c, o, " please advise. thank you in advance.

    The system on the original install dic is probably looking for the original video card.
    It may be possible for someone with the right skills to make an install disc for you with the driver for your new card.
    As I recall from my early days of being a Macuser, If you held down a key, (spacebar?), while starting it would open a dialog to take you through a monitor setup.

  • Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install.

    Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install. Appreciate if someone in the forum can help.

    The backup and restore from the iCloud was a little unnerving since the restore erased all information from the iPod.  The iCloud backup and restore took a long time, but worked.  I was very grateful.
    Trying again to backup to iTunes locally proved to be the same challenging problem.  The same backup to corrupt file was the message.  The status bar showing backup seemed to move faster to start, but then slowed to a creep toward the end before the error. 
    When trying to restore a backup in iTunes, the "Restore" button is grayed out since it is looking for a local copy.  Any restore would need to be from the iCloud which already worked but isn't the final solution.
    Your suggestions were good, I am just in the same boat.  Any thoughts about doing the following?
    1) creating a cloud backup
    2) resetting the iPod to factory defaults
    3) removing all traces of iTunes from my computer and
    4) installing iTunes and setting up iPod from scratch.
    This is the next thing on my list.

  • IMac G5 running OS 10.4.11. Started playing with a bluetooth speaker (may or may not be related). Now I cannot get past the blue screen on startup. I can get into safe mode. Tried install disc for disc utility and reloaded OS. Still get blue screen.

    I have an older iMac G5 running OS 10.4.11. The other day I started playing with a bluetooth speaker (may or may not be related). Now I cannot get past the blue screen on startup.
    I can get into safe mode. But no regular startup.
    I tried disabling bluetooth, thinking that might be related. It didn't help.
    I even tried using the install disc to run disc utility. That didn't work so I reloaded the OS.
    But I still get hung on the blue screen when trying a normal startup.
    All help would be appreciated.

    Try resetting the PMU/SMU and PRAM/NVRAM. You'd need to identify the mode of resetting depending on the model of your G5 iMac. The Apple support sites that would help you for this are –

    I'm having the same issue. All my applications transferred over. Lightroom is working, but when I went to edit a picture in Photoshop, I got an error message. It told me to restart, but the program still won't open after restart. It says licensing has stopped working, but what does that mean? I can't tell whether it's unsupported/blocked, or if it's a malfunction. The error code is 150:30 See screen shot.
