Printer Drivers won't load on Macbook Pro

I just purchased a canon image class d530, and when I try to load the driver I get the error message "Cannot install on this version of the operating system you are using". It says it should work for Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later and I have Mac OS X 10.10.1. What can I try to get a driver to load so the printer is usable with my computer?

Not sure for sure because I just read it rather than
experienced it myself but it is my understanding that
the Academic version does not qualify for free
upgrades.
So you might be stuck with what you have - try
calling Applecare and see...
Not true. Academic versions and retail versions are exactly the same regarding the software. The only difference is price.

Facebook won't load on Macbook pro with 10.8

Facebook won't load on Macbook pro with Mountain lion on a small homw network at home
I am on a wifi Network. Girlfirend's Macbook got no problem with Facebook on the same network (she got snow leopard installed)
Facebook WILL load when i connect my computer directly to the the modem, bypassing the router.
Facebook will load when i use Windows 7 on VMWARE.
What i already tried:
1- Reset the router
2- cleaning caches on all the browsers i'm using (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
Never had that problem with 10.7
Mystery, don't know what i should do except reinstalling Mountain lion...
Any idea?

Edge Inspect desktop has no UI and only Inspect icon will be visible in the menu bar. Also, you need to be logged in with Adobe ID in the app.

Windows 7 Won't load on MacBook Pro 17"

I am on my second day of trying to load Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro 3.06Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of ram. I've tried installing on to an external hard drive and I have tried to install in using boot camp but I get the same error with both, Windows cannot be loaded because of drivers.I have been all over the web looking for intel drivers, chipsets, or any other drivers that might work with no luck. I've even loaded my OS X 10.6 disk in a windows machine and copied the drivers over to an external. I have had Windows XP using Boot Camp and refuse to go to Windows Vista. Any Advice would be great.

You have not provided, for me, anything to go by.
You can't install Windows on a Mac except with Boot Camp Assistant if you want to retain Mac OS.
You cannot install on external drives.
You can install Windows 7 only, take over the entire internal hard drive.
Boot Camp Assistant can fail or refuse to partition if there is not enough free contiguous (unfragmented) free space or if there are files that cannot be moved. In which case you may need to boot from another hard drive and buy iPartition and/or iDefrag; or, use Disk Utility and totally erase and restore from backups.
And most of that is in the Boot Camp PDF:

New Printer Drivers won't load in Mac App Store

Hi!
I've recently update my mid-2014 rMBP to the Final release of Yosemite, up from the Yosemite Public Beta 6. I've been able, during the beta phase to add my home printer (an HP OfficeJet 4500) after (or before?) the Mac App Store had downloaded the required HP drivers (3.3.1).
Now, however, I'm trying to add an HP LaserJet 1200 series (whose drivers are in the official list). I've tried several times, asked the MAS to check for new updates a thousand times but still it won't download any new printer drivers.
When adding the printer and selecting the driver from the list of drivers bundled with OS X, I could see various printers (with a large number of HP printers who use the aforementioned 3.0 drivers which have been downloaded already), but no HP LaserJet 1200. I don't have them because they're not the same as the 3.0 ones. On my sister's 2010 MBP, which didn't go through the beta testing phase, I found what seems to be all the drivers from the list (at least there was the one for the 1200 Series).
So my question is, how do I somehow "trigger" the MAS to download the required drivers (19.8) ? Is anyone else having troubles installing printer drivers?

Thank you for your quick reply! I've deleted the hp folder (and moved the PPD relating to the printer which is already installed, the OfficeJet, just to see if it would help) and had the MAS check for new updates. No success yet, though.
However there's a slight misunderstanding regarding which drivers I'm trying to install : I already have the 3.3.1 drivers (for the OfficeJet) but the drivers which won't download are the 19.8 for the LaserJet printer. are these separately downloadable too?

Web pages won't load when MacBook Pro on battery power

My sister bought a MacBook Pro in January. She switched from a Dell laptop. Everything was great until a few weeks ago. When she would be on battery power, she would have a hard time getting websites to load with Safari. I suggested she use Firefox and see if it made a difference. It didn't.
She can try to open a webpage and it will try to load for a long time (3-5 minutes). If she plugs in the power adapter, the page loads immediately. She still has her Dell laptop and the same websites load with no problem when using the Dell on battery.
I told her to call Apple since she has Applecare. Apple sent her a new battery even though they told her they didn't think it was that. It didn't make any difference. They told her it was her internet connection, but it works fine if the MacBook Pro is hooked up to the power adapter and her Dell laptop loads internet pages without any problem while on battery power. Then they tried to tell her just to use the power adapter all the time. She told them if she wanted to be tied down to a power adapter she would have bought a desktop. (Not a very good comment by Apple in my opinion.)
She doesn't live close to an Apple Store to take it in.
This is just the weirdest thing I have ever heard of. All of her other applications (Office, Photoshop, iTunes, etc.) run just fine on battery power. It is just the internet. At first I thought it might just be secure sites, like banking, but she couldn't get MacNN or Versiontracker to load while on battery power.
Does anyone have any ideas?

You'll probably find an Airport aerial issue. Does she find that Airport reception (a better guide is shown in Internet Connect) will drop dramatically when she disconnects power? If so contact AppleCare again and give them this information under the same case number she wuold have gotten when they replaced the battery.
PS In space, no-one can hear you scream!

Itunes store won't load for macbook pro.

I try to connect to the Itunes store - the status bar at the top loads all the way up; then I just get a blank screen. It seems others have experienced the same issue. There is some answer out there involving "netsh winsock reset" but the step by steps are all for windows/pc users. I contacted apple support, but I am not paying 20.00 for an answer. Any help would be appreciated.

@kyle_roy
thanks for that solution, because it worked for me too! (macbook pro, 5,1 running OSX 10.6.8, loading with itunes 11.1.
i wanted to browse/order a movie and got the same blank screen—downloading the latest version of safari solved it.
the safari update must install an additional system components necessary for apple store to load properly. I wonder what would happen if i deleted safari since i primarily use google chrome for web browsing.
if someone knows or finds out what the new or updated system components are, please let me know in case this ever happens again.
thanks.

Adobe air won't load, on macbook pro

I have an early 2011 Macbook pro, all was well till I tried to download latest Mac User on Zinio reader. This worked when I reopened zinio to read it
it crashed. Have tried, even took machine to Apple store, all attempts to download adobe air fail. Does anyone have a fix????

I'm assuming you have one of the MBP's with a discrete GPU? If so, there is a known issue with Adobe Air and MBPs with discrete GPUs. In order to get Air-related things to run without crashing, you must go to:
System Preferences > Energy Saver
From there, uncheck "Automatic Graphics Switching."
Adobe Air should now work properly.

The Sims 3 won't load on MacBook Pro 2012

I recently just got a new MacBook Pro and I had my Sims 3 game from when it first came out. However, the game isn't being recognized by the computer. The case shows that the game is compatible with Windows and Mac. I heard if you install to Windows you can't install to Mac right? I'm confused. Does this mean I need to go buy a new game?

See if this is of any help:

Gmail folders won't load on Macbook Pro Retina

I've just bought a brand new Macbook Pro Retina. I've transfered all files / settings over from my old macbook pro using Time Machine, but for some reason I'm unable to view any emails I have filed in Mail (I have a Gmail account), and when I file any new emails they don't appear in my folders.
They do show up on Gmail webmail in the files I've moved them to - the only issue is that they don't appear on Mail.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks in advance!

1.5 won't load on MacBook Pro

I'm trying to update Aperture 1.1.2 to 1.5 on my MacBook Pro. I've got the Academic version of Aperature. But when I try to update, the updater tells me I have to have Aperture installed. I do. What gives?
I tried repairing all permissions, but it doesn't help.
Aperature is working fine.

B110a won't connect to Macbook pro or IPAD

I've got a B110a serial number CN0CN3V63605J8, running firmware CHL1FN1113AR FW patch 0.
It's sat on a home wireless network with a DLINK router DSL-270R.
I can print to it with all my 3 PCs using drivers dowloaded from the HP website. All 3 PCs are different makes.
I am unable to print to it using either a MacBook Pro or IPAD1. I've read the support forums and tried some of the fixes but to no avail.
My Macbook is running LION, I downloaded the latest drivers on the 13th August from Apple. My IPAD is running OS4.3.3.
Neither Macbook nor IPAD "see' the printer.
I read on the HP website that the b110a is capable of printing with Macs, but with a firmware update. I can't do this from the b110a. When I go to Set up>Preferences>Product Updates, I get the following error message "There was a problem connecting to the server, press retry to connect again of OK to exit"
Any ideas. I'm thinking it's either the need for a firmware update, or that the router is masking MAC, but I don't really understand this.
Thanks
This question was solved.

Great work, thanks!
Yes, I mean upgrade the firmware on the router. This could be the source of all of your troubles. You could even try to cycle power on your router to reboot it, then try again. But, I would really try to check its firmware.
To get into your router settings type 192.168.0.1 into a browser address window. The login is 'admin' and there is no password. See if you can find a way to update firmware from there. If it is not obvious, go to the D-link support website and hunt around.

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

After upgrading to snow leopard my Epson printer drivers did not load and i get an error 'rasteroescpll failed'. I have tried reloading the driver to no effect. Can anyone help?

I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and at the end of the upgrade the printer drivers failed to load. I have since updated them myself (Epson BX305) but still get an eror message 'rasteroescpll failed'. can anyone help?
I have an Imac previously running 5.8.0 and now running 6.3.0.
thank you
Hugh

The current driver version is 8.67.
Delete you printer.
Delete the folder /Library/Prnters/EPSON
Delete the folder /Library/Caches/Epson
Unplug your printer from your computer for 30 seconds and then plug it back in. You should be prompted to download the new drivers.
If all that fails, you can get the new drivers from Apple at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398
