OSX 10.4.4 and HP Scanjet 7400c
I am running OSX 10.4.4 on a G5. I have an HP Scanjet 7400c scanner. I have obtained the most recent scanner driver from HP that reference 10.3 and 10.2 but they don't work - the icon just lights up in the dock and vanishes immediately.
I read on another post during a search that OSX 10.4.4 features software that will make any scanner work. Is this true? Is there any way to get my scanner to work?
Just in case anyone else is looking for an answer to this problem or similar, here’s what I did to solve it:
I ran the Uninstaller application, then removed all login items in System Preferences.
In Preferences, located in the folder named Library, I removed anything to do with HP Scanjet. I then dumped the remaining items inside the HP folder itself that hadn’t been subjected to the uninstall and trashed them.
Then I ran Disk utility and repaired permissions before restarting. I unplugged the USB cable that connected the scanner to the mac, and disconnected the power cable to the scanner itself.
Then I reinstalled the scanner driver, restarted and repaired permissions again. I plugged in first the USB cable, then reconnected the power to the scanner and tried the software.
Same old clunky HP interface – but it works.
If lamarche reads this, thanks again for the recommendation for the vuescan software. I’d actually already sent off for this hp driver before you made that suggestion, and decided to wait to see if it worked, rather than paying for yet another piece of software. It did work - in the end - but thanks for the tip anyway. I may use in the future.

How to install drivers for HP Color Laserjet 1215 and HP Scanjet G2410 on Mavericks?
I recently purchased MacBook Pro and upgraded the OS to Mavericks. I am unable to find drivers for my HP Color Laserjer CP1215 printer and HP Scanjet G2410 scanner which I was using with HP Laptop. Google search yielded instructions at http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/INSTALL.osx for the HP CP1215 printer. However, the instructions don't seem to be working on Mavericks. So, I am stuck with a printer and scanner which don't work with Mac. Thanks in advance for any help.
Ajit SinghI don't see either of those models on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669. You should probably check with HP to see if they are still supported.

Problems with Mac OSX 10.5.2 and installing my pro tools le 7.1.1
Problems with Mac OSX 10.5.2 and installing my pro tools le 7.1.1.
My garage band & reason software don´t open anymore giving me a error messasge regarding the midi drivers in the operating system.
Please help!!!
Thanks,
PaoloSomewhere at either Macworld or here I learned that DVDSP 2, DVDSP 3 and now DVDSP 4 "internally" are major re-writes.
Support for HD among a few other items along with QT 7 which comes with Tiger means sincerely that one set of applications/OS is not going to be stable.
Personally I think of all the issues possible its DVDSP vs QT.
Unless you move to DVDSP v4 the alternative is to wipe the disk and go back to Jaguar (10.2) or perhaps Panther but avoid upgrading QT beyond 6. I advocate wiping the disk because I'n not sure an archive and install to down shift to an earlier version of the OS is possible. If it is I'd still worry about mis-matched files in all sorts of locations. -
I am trying to use the new iwork beta tools on iCloud. I currently have 10.8.4 OSX on my iMac and 6.0.5 version of Safari, but when I try to open documents on my iphone in the cloud it tells me my browser isn't supported
Note that iWork for iCloud is only designed for PCs and Macs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5779
To access to your iWork documents on the iPhone, install Keynote, Numbers or Pages from the App Store -
I have an iMac 5.1 with Mac OSX 10.6.8 and 2 GB memory and an L2 cache of 4 GB. lately I have been receiving error messages of " start up disk almost full; please delete files." is the start up disk the same thing as the hard drive? I opened the hard drive and from the column on the left of the menu I've selected "search for" and under that " all images" then "all documents" I've deleted a few files from each. Are documents and images that I have deleted from here also deleted from the folders on my desktop?
You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Delete any other mail in your Junk folders. Also, look through your Sent Mail to see if there is anything that can be deleted.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck! -
I have recently upgraded to OSX 10.8.2 and now find that I cannot operate my scanner, an hp psc 1310 series printer/scanner. I get a message saying that Power PC is no longer supported. I am still able to print on the same device. What should I do?
Hi,
PSC 1315 no longer supported for scanning since Mac OS X v10.5 or while using any newer OS, there is no scan software provided by either HP or Apple (Image Capture)
You may find this information stated below for Leopard, the same apply for any newer OS version:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01234231&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &os=219&product=374568&sw_lang=
Image capture will not recognize your device as well, only print is supported as you may find listed for teh PSC 1310 Series below:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
Although there is no official scanning support for your device you may still try the 3rd party VueScan software which list your scanner as supported and compatible with Mountain Lion:

Upgraded to OSX 10.8.2 and now I can't run any downloaded dmg files.
Upgraded to OSX 10.8.2 and now I can't run any downloaded dmg files. Says "the Following disk images couldn't be opened". and then say's there "isn't enough disk space" I'm pretty sure it has something to do with apps that are not approved by the app store. How can I turn it off?
Select your hard drive in the Finder and choose File -> Get Info. What is the available space?

Update OSX 10.4.7 and Quicktime 7.1.2 Quicktime will not work anymore
After updating to osx 10.4.7 and Quicktime 7.1.2, Quicktime crashes everytimee it is opened. Safari crashes when any page containing a quicktime movie is open and system preferences crashes when trying to access the quicktime preferences.
The only time Quicktime has worked is when I booted in Safeboot. I previously had quicktime pro and the crash logs seem to indicate a crash when trying to license quicktime. I have trashed all preferences related to quicktime, run disk utility and applejack. removed all 3rd party extensions and statup items, and tried to delete the registration number for quicktime but it kept resetting itself to automatic. No avail.
Other programs I have installed on this computer are Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, and Kona2, and ajaIO.
Any suggestions on getting quicktime to run again.

what kind of install did you do? did you archive, or erase and install? was the screen problem there the second time before you did the update?? i would run the apple hardware test to see what it says. you can do this by putting in your install dvd for tiger and starting up holding the d key. take the full test instead of quick test. i would also try resetting the pmu on your macbook pro. this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319 describes the procedure and gives some info about it. best of luck.

've just upgraded to latest version of Firefox 4 and my Mac is only OSX.10.4.11 and now it won't open. How do I downgrade and get old Firefox back. Don't want to lose all my bookmarks. Why was I able to install in the first place. Very frustrated!!
You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com -

is there a version of itunes that works with osx 10.5.6 and also allows my to sync my iphone 5?
You say you have 10.5.6 (Leopard) but your signature says you have 10.6.6 (Snow Leopard) - which is it?
If it's Snow Leopard all you have to do is apply the combo updater:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
If it's Leopard it depends on what sort of processor you have. It it's PPC you cannot proceed. If it's Intel you may be able to upgrade to Snow Leopard (which is available in the Online Apple Store) provided you have enough RAM: check the requirements against your Mac. -
I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run. I tried 7.0.4 and 7.1.2, both from Apple software update and both crash during "loading themes". I am reluctant to upgrade OSX from 10.7.5 because I do not want to loose Final Cut Express 4.0.1. Apple Care no longer supports iDVD. I want a version if iDVD that supports Chapter markers as in iDVD 7.?.? that i used with my old (now deceased) Apple Power PC Mac Pro.
iDVD 7 should work fine with 10.7.5. Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
