Pixma MP950 photo prints turn purple hue after several months.

Using Canon ink and Kirkland glossy photo paper. This only happens with prints I have hung inside on my garage walls. Both color and B&W do this. Any idea what would cause this? No color change on prints inside the house even after years.

Hi johnshel,
There may be a temperature variance in your garage that is different than the inside of your home that is having an effect on the photos. The inks used in your PIXMA MP950 are ChromaLife 100 inks, and when used with Canon genuine photo paper, your printed photos will resist color fading and you can enjoy long-lasting beautiful photos displayed in a typical indoor environment. For more information on the ChromaLife 100 system, please click on the link below:

Will Canon's PIXMA iP5000 Photo Printer work with Mavericks 10.9.5?

Canon's PIXMA iP500 Photo Printer is not listed in the printers supported by OS X Maverick. Does this mean a user has to opt for another printer, or is there a way of getting around this issue?

Finally received a reply from Dymo support. It's self-explanatory:
Good Morning Dana,
My name is Jesse and I will be happy to assist you today. I apologize for the delay in our response. A systems upgrade and technical issues prevented us from doing so until now. Yes, the 450 Twin Turbo will continue to work after updating to Mac 10.9.5, and our developers are making sure they will work with Mac 10.10 when it is released.
The Twin Turbo (the dual bay printer that just says ”Twin Turbo” on the front without a preceding number) requires a component included with Mac 10.9.3 and earlier that Apple has taken out of 10.9.4 and all subsequent releases, rendering the printer not able to be used. All other 400 series printers, as well as the 450 series printers work with Mac 10.9.4 and up. Our developers are working on the issue to see if a workaround can be implemented. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
If you should need further assistance, please do not hesitate to respond to this e-mail or contact tech support by phone at 1-877-724-8324.
Kind regards,

How do I set up my iPad to print using my canon pixma ip100 photo printer?

How do I get my canon pixma ip100 photo printer to print two pages from my iPad mini? Iam new with the computer terms & stuff, can any one please help me hook it up in easy terms...thankyou

You would have to either use an app from Canon if they have one or use a 3rd party program such as Printopia, Print Central, Fingerprint, etc. That printer is not Airprint compatible.

Based on some Information that my Account iD isn`t valid anymore i opened a second account ID. After several month i found out that both account-ID`s are still in place. Is it possible to request a consolidation of both account IDs from Apple?

After an Update I-Tunes I received an Information that my Apple-ID is not valid anymore. So i opend a new account filling in the same personal informations but using a different Emailadress (Account - ID) and passwort. Now after several month i recognized after syncronizing my new Iphone 4s that both of my Account-ID`S are still activated. Now i have 2 questions.
1. Is it possible to request a consolidation of my 2 Account-ID`s via Apple i-Tunes Support and how this be done?
2. If there is no other way can i cancel my old Account ID within I-Tunes? And if so do i have to buy all App`s and Songs which are related to this Account-ID one more time?
Thanks for any helpful information!

Since posting the above, I have resolved a sensible work-around in regard to ebookstores which prefer us to have separate accounts for our separate Adobe IDs.
However, I really would appreciate it if anyone here can confirm that a DRM controlled book does actually become associated with a particular Adobe ID account at the time of first download to Digital Editions on that PC/device.
Two large book stores have said using my account with them to download books to our two separate Adobe IDs is OK, but I don't want to find my husband is unable to open his downloaded books.
Thank you folks for any advice you can give,
Sue

I have created a Apple ID but the e-mail adress is invalid due to a typo. I could purchase apps in the store but now the store is requesting a confirmation (after several month) and I cannot confirm the ID as the e-mail is invalid. What can I do?

I have a IPAD. During the initialisation I had to submit an Apple ID. I have one, but unfortunately I had a typo in the adress. I could purchase apps with the invalid adress but now (after several month) it is asking for verification. This is not possible as the e-mail is invalid
What can I do?
Thanks for your help!!

The good news is you should be able to get into your Apple ID by answering security questions instead of email at appleid.apple.com. Click the Manage Your Account and then Forgot Your Password links. If you get in you'll see the place to change your primary email address.
The bad news is there are some issues with Apple ID accounts right now. Some accounts are unable to change their primary email address (Mobile Me accounts in particular), some accounts cannot even log in because Apple has screwed up the security information (for example, I have 2 Apple ID accounts where it tells me my own birthday is invalid).
So give it a shot.

I hAVE A 2011 macbook pro, i've noticed that hardrive usage from 180 gig went up slowly to 260 gig after several months, and i didn't even install any software or saved anything at all that big? Why is that? Is it becasue of the many software updates that Apple sends? I already checked my files but i don't find anything that would cause that much of a big jump.

Black and white photo prints with purple cast

I used Photoshop to convert the digital photos to black and white before placing them in Indesign CS3. On the monitor the photo looks great, but when I print the newsletter, each photo has a purple tint. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Polly,
your black and white photos are probably 'Grayscales'.
The print has a tint because it is printed by rich black
CMYK instead of K-only, and the printer is not perfectly
calibrated or not calibrated at all.
a)It is a PostScript printer and it was chosen
Output=CompositeRGB instead of CompositeCMYK or
CompositeGray (CompositeCMYK is necessary if the
doc contains Grayscales and color images).
Composite### doesn't mean the source but the printer.
PostScript toner printers and inkjets are CMYK devices.
Desktop printers are often considered as RGB devices.
b)The Grayscale was converted back to RGB (still gray though).
c)The Grayscale was converted to CMYK, which delivers in
Photoshop by default rich black CMYK.
Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

MG 3250 new printer turns off automatically after a few seconds.

My printer was just bought yesterday, a new one. It could turn on at the beginning, but while I started to setup the wireless connection, I got a problem installing the driver on my laptop so I turned off the printer. After this the printer never turned on properly. Everytime I press the power button, the printer turns on for a few seconds, the scaner lights up and toner moves a bit, then it shuts itself down.
I totally have no idea what happened and have no clue whether it is the board issue or setting issue. The toner was stuck but I have fixed it, not helping with the turn off issue tho.

So I did call Apple. That was pointless since they had no idea what was wrong. I made an appointment with a Genius at the Apple store nearest to me. The associate who checked me in said his wife had the same problem (and discovered it while on an 8 hour flight, which stinks).
The genius who helped me was great. He had no idea what the issue was and hadn't heard of the issue before, so he took my phone into the back room and ran some diagnostics.
He found that there was nothing wrong with the hardware at all, but he noticed an error with my firmware.
He restored my phone (while my phone was plugged into itunes he held down the home and wake/sleep buttons. Then when the apple logo appeared he let go of the sleep/wake button but kept the home button pressed). This erased everything. I wasn't worried about that since all my contacts, apps, and music were backed up on my computer.
I guess he reinstalled the latest firmware and os update. He put a couple of albums worth of music on there too for me to test it. Problem solved.
It took an hour or two for me to get everything back onto my phone and in its proper place.
That was a pain, but worth it since I can now listen to music freely with no interruption.
The only thing I'm really ****** about is that my game data is all erased. Apparently when you back up your apps in itunes, it doesn't back up your progress/saves/scores in your games. I have about 30 games on my phone so this really, really *****. I guess I will just have to replay all the levels in Angry Birds, Peggle, Cut the Rope, etc. Lost a lot of progress in Infinity Blade which is pretty especially awful.
I just listened to about a half hour of music with no interruptions though, so I guess its a fair trade.
Good luck.

Black & White photos printing as purple

My wife was copying some historical black & white family photos. Six or so printed fine, then one photo changed from black & white to a purpleish tone at the 90% complete phase, only the bottom edge had changed colors. We loaded another black cartridge believing this was the cause, but to no avail. Now all Black & White photos are printing in purple.
Standard printing is fine.
Copying is fine.
Scanning is fine.
But photo printing of black & white pictures results in the copies being 100% purple toned.
Why?
HP 6510 printer, only two onths old.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The printer uses color ink to print black when printing on photo paper because the pigmented black ink is not compatible with photo paper. It appears you have run out of yellow ink. I would suggest the troubleshooting steps in the document here to resolve the issue. Be sure to check the vents on the yellow supply as shown in solution two.

Start-up problem disappears after several months non-use? Real?

Old Satellite laptop suddenly would not complete start-up when turned on ---- this was more than 18 months ago. So I stopped using it, charged the battery and left it for 18 months. NO usage for 18 months; maybe the battery drained during this time, maybe not.
When I then took laptop to a diagnostic technicianafter those months of non-use, the computer started-up with NO PROBLEM. (I actually do not remember if I recharged the battery just before taking to the diagnostic servicer or not).
Was the nonusage for several months and battery drainage meaninful or not? Would this be just a temporary unknowable problem which disappeared? Since starting the computer several times to try, the computer still starts normally and the only problem I can observe is a stress in the CD drive upon trying to use certain CD's; otherwise, the computer still seems to be working normally, and shows no trouble in start-up.
I do not understand.

Dbrown and others interested,
Here are the basic details:
Laptop Satellite 1415-s115, purchased new in year 2003, Windows XP Home Ed., S.P. 1.
In use a few times per month for about 2 to 2 and a half years. Used for dial-up internet, transferring and copying files, putting onto CD's, and some use for software development. Then, almost daily use from 2006 to mid 2008 for wireless internet use and sometimes transferring and storing files, putting files onto CD.
Suddenly in late spring, 2008 Start-Up would not finish when I turned on computer. After each and every attempt, 15, 20, more minutes, startup was still not finished. In this process, the computer was useless.
Retail technician began an initial try to startup in the retail shop and gave, after various aimless discussions, that testing would take a few hours to do thoroughly and the cost for diagnosis would be ~140 dollars - before any repair attempt. So, at that, the computer was still useless, and our decision was to just store the apparantly dead computer at home, and buy a new laptop computer.
Early summer 2008 through late autumn 2009, I used the new laptop computer, now at Windows Vista on a different model Satellite laptop.
A day in late autumn 2009 --- Let me find what an authorized Toshiba service technician can tell me from his diagnosis! I explained the problem to him. After a couple of minutes, he showed me the old laptop was fully started-up, showing no problem. He said "play around with it a little"; so I did play around with it a little and found no problem. Then, remembering the difficulty from 18 months earlier, I said, do a diagnosis to be sure. He ran tests overnight for several hours. I then was able to pick up my old laptop the next day and he found NO problem during the diagnostic tests. He turned on the computer again and let me play around with some of the programs to see for myself.
Since bringing the old laptop back from the authorized toshiba technician, NO REPAIR NEEDED, I have started it up about two or three times per week and have done a few things and find NO problem with startup and nearly no problem with anything...... just one difficulty with the optical disc CD drive when I put in certain CD's; either something about the paper labels which I used, or something about a CD-R being recorded as "Open" instead of "Closed", ... I'm not yet sure. Those certain CD's seem to suddenly cause a motor noise and the machine becomes extrreeeeeeeemmely slow responding --- only with certain CD's, since most do not seem to cause this particular problem. (These same certain CD's seem to cause some difficulties when I try to read them in another old, desktop machine).
(In case readers in this thread are interested, just two days ago, I updated to XP S.P. 3 on the old laptop)
Well, so tell me what you can think is most meaningful

Pixma MG6320 - Photos print with lines at the bottom

I just setup my printer last night and tried to print some 4x6 photos. When the first photo was printing, the paper went crooked at the last inch of the paper, and it was blurry. I attempted 6 more prints, the paper stayed straight through the whole printing process but the last inch is printing blurry with lines going all across. I made sure that the paper size and type settings are correct on the printer. Has anyone had this issue? Any assitance would be appreciated!

Camera stuttering and flickering purple hue after Yosemite

The camera started to lag and stutter and flicker purple things on my screen.
It is very annoying and can apple please release an update...
MBP (late 2011) came with OSX Lion -> Mavericks -> Yosemite.

Hi everyone, I'm the one from the example above posted by @frankensinatra and I can confirm having the same problem.
But I want to add something. The problem is not only related to black and white but to every picture, and it can be worse or not depending on the range of colors involved. Apparently, there is a shift between some RGB value that is going to remove some green producing a magenta look.
I've started contacting some developer about this problem and some of them is trying to understand what's going on.
In my case, the problem came up when I bought the new iPad mini Retina. I didn't have this problem with the previous iPad mini. Same OS for both devices.
The photo you see in the link above is a perfect example of what happens just going from one app to another and saving to the camera roll. In that case, the situation doesn't change if I send that picture from within the app by email, or to another app using the "open in..." feature. It keeps being purple. And the problem can be reproduced all the time.
Have some of you noticed the same?

Nano hangs on apple icon when turning on. After several restarts, still will not go past Apple icon. Computer doesn't recognize Nano when plugged in.

I tried to connect iPod Nano this morning to sync Podcasts. Keep getting error that device not found.
Restarted Nano and the screen hangs on the Apple icon & doesn't progress.
I restarted one time and looks like I got into a diagnostics program.
Tried to restart while plugged into computer, still doesn't go past Apple icon.
Any idea on how to get Nano to come up fully and connect to computer via iTunes?

Restore the phone from Recovery Mode as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

My msi Z77A will not boot after several months of use

So I've had this pc build for about 7-8 months. The motherboard is the msi Z77A-GD65 and randomly this morning I went to turn on the pc and I didn't get a beep or anything. The pc just shut down and restarted up again but did the same thing over and over again. Everything seems to turn on but I'm not getting the post beep anymore and the code on the mother board says 55 (Early memory initialization). Does this mean that one of my sticks of ram might be dead? How do I find out which one? Any other help or suggestions? Thanks

Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 30-April-13, 02:39:07
After providing specs as flobelix has requested will certainly help in the troubleshooting process. First thoughts are PSU has become faulty, RAM stick(s) gone bad, or a long term OC has taken it's toll.
Test each stick individually in the primary DIMM2 slot.
Specs are:
msi Z77A-GD65 motherboard
Intel i7 2600k
12gb Corsair Vengeance ram DDR3 (3x4)
AMD Radeon HD 7850 2gb
I'm not sure what the power supply is off the top of my head but I can check if needed. I've tried testing individual sticks and I've had no luck, still keep getting the 55 error. Also I haven't done any overclocking on my machine.
