Printer drivers...software downloaded, now how do i activate it?

had to have os reinstalled; backed up with time machine; printer still shows up, but error message tells me to install software. cannot use cd (apparently) so downloaded all canon drivers from apple.
now what???
(coming from windows, i find macbook is not very good at walking us amateurs through the necessary steps.)

Did you install the Canon drivers from Apple - Apple Canon Printer Drivers 2.11? After downloading you need to install the package by double-clicking on the package icon.
Then open the Print & Scan preferences. Select the displayed printer and click on the Delete [-] button to remove it. Now click on the Add [-] button. A window will appear like this:
Select your printer from the list. If a driver appears in the Use: dropdown menu then just click the Add button.

Then you should talk to that person. Apple won't help you if the iOS was downloaded illegally, and since this is their community, due to Terms of Use, no one here will help you either.

I have downloaded Adobe Reader into my MacBook Pro, now how do I activate Plug-Ins?

I have downloaded Adobe Reader. How do I activate Plug-Ins?

I don't know what kind of plug-in I need to activate. In fact I don't even know what a plug-in is. All I know is that when I attempted to download some photos and a document, both from an outside source, a box appeared saying "missing plug-in." I have used the the photo website many times before with no trouble. The one clue I have is that the most recent attempt to download the photos said that I needed to update my Adobe Reader, which I did, but alas, to no avail. Help! Please!

I'm trying to download flash and the Adobe website says my anti-virus must allow software downloads. How do I allow this?

I'm unable to re-download flash. I've disabled firewall and allowed apps to be downloaded from anywhere with no results. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

This is the URL copied from the "install now" link that should be loading on your browser, but isn't:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_11_for_Mac_OS_ X_10.6_-_10.9&os=OSX&browser_type=KHTML&browser_dist=Safari
Warning: Clicking the above will initiate the download immediately.
I took the liberty of omitting the "optional offer" junk from the URL, which was appended to the above link. FYI that was the following
&d=Adobe_Photoshop_Lightroom_for_Macintosh&dualoffer=false
Here is the button containing the complete URL: Install now
The page may not be completely loading for you because it is stalling on the Adobe Lightshop advertisement or something else. It can probably be fixed by clearing the Safari cache.

I bought an mp3 album, downloaded it onto my computer, it's "downloads" now how do get it into my ipod nano?

I bought an mp3 album, downloaded it onto my computer into "downloads" how to it import it onto my ipod nano?

Hi delta12519,
It sounds like you want to be able to redownload the album on the iPhone or you want the album to automatically appear on all of your devices. The articles below will walk you through both options, just make sure you're using the same Apple ID on all devices.

Logic Pro x - additional content downloads and installs but it won't show up in my Logic Pro X. Where is the add'l content downloaded and how do I activate on Logic Pro X?

The additional content downloads and installs, but it won't show up in my Logic Pro X. I cannot find the "Library" folder where this additional content is downloaded to and can't seem to activate the new loops and instruments in my Logic Pro X (i.e. loops are still greyed out). Any solutions?

similar problem that I'm hoping revives this thread. Took over 24hrs to dload additional content (after another full day for the actual problem) due to a bad dload rate. so quitted, and relocated closer to my wifi router. Restart, open logic x, Menu bar: Logic Pro/ Download Additional content ...Tells me i have no internet connection.... Ahh... I do, I'm using it right now! Tried restarting and relaunching. same thing every time.
Any clues?
This whole apple upgrade has been so disappointing! All i wanted to do was reinstall logic 9! $2500 later and I'm still struggling. ***!

Printer Driver/Software on 2nd Internal Drive

Hi All,
Specs: 2009 Macbook Pro (Mavericks)
Just replaced my old HDD with a SSD and moving the old HDD to the optical drive. Haven't installed the HDD to the Optical drive yet.
Did a clean install (via Diskmaker and bootable USB drive). Installed Applications except for the ones that didn't carry over (Ilife). Everything is working fine so far.
Question with the printer. Can I leave the printer drivers/software on the HDD and print that way or do I have to install them on the SSD?
Extra question, can I just copy and paste the ILife programs from the HDD to the SSD?

Also.....
Can I delete the Applications/Programs on the older HDD since I have them on the SSD? Want to save space as much as I can.

Kodak AIO Printer Drivers not allowing sleep

I recently started noticing that my MacMini isn't sleeping at the specified interval set in the System Pref's.
After extensive testing, I've narrowed it down to the Kodak AIO printer drivers (and/or associated software) that's keeping it awake. This occurs across all user profiles and resolves itself immediately upon removal of the Kodak AIO software and drivers.
Looking at the console log going back as far as last night the following sequence is repeated every 30 seconds.

I'm going to contact Kodak but any suggestions? Seems to be happening with recent versions of the driver, but I've not been able to determine at what point or update the Kodak printer drivers/software started exhibiting this behavior.

This is a Kodak problem, not an Apple one. AIO printers often cause the computer to stay awake; sometimes it is due to poor programming and other times it is user error. An AIO printer that includes a FAX that is set to receive faxes must keep the computer awake otherwise the computer cannot receive an unscheduled fax. Well written drivers will allow the user to turn this feature off but that means faxes can only be received when you are expecting them. Even if the AIO doesn't include a fax it is often the cause of computer insomnia.
The solution: (1) before buying an AIO printer check reviews of Mac owners to see if there are reports of insomniac computers with that model. (2) there are shareware and freeware programs that can put a computer to sleep even when the built in energy saver won't. Go to macupdate and search on insomnia

Caller display, how do I activate it?

I recently brought a BT Synergy 5500 twin phone, which was advertised as having caller display. What it didn't say in the advert was that I'd have to activate this with BT and it may cost money, NOT HAPPY. I wouldn't have brought it if I'd known. So I have been onto my BT account and found that I can get this for free, I have ordered it and tried dialling #234# but it says it's unavailable. PLEASE I'm fed up of swearing at the computer so much, what do i do now, how do i activate this? many thanks

try dialling *#234# to see if it is active (you will receive an automated message)
If it is not active give BT a call on 0800 800 150 and say you want BT privacy at Home with the free caler display.
It is "free" providing you make 2 calls amonth via BT, this is not a problem if BT already bill you for calls, only a problem if your calls are billed by another company.
(If I have helped you in any way to say "Thank You" please click on the star next to the message. Thank You)

How to download printer drivers, how to download printer drivers, how to download printer drivers

I have migrated from Microsoft to Apple and need to know how to find my printer drivers. I downloaded new driver for Mac OS from Brothers website, but can't find my printer anywhere. It said the download completed by no where to be found. Please help.

Under Lion, you should not install the printer driver directly. Let Apple find it for you via software update.
Here's the detailed article that will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670
You basically have to have your printer connected to your Mac (for example, by USB or on your wireless network). Then let Apple find the appropriate driver software for you.
