Printer Error won't allow my MacBook to shut own

I got a printer error msg and also a box that says 'cancelling' and when I press 'OK' or 'cancel' nothing happens. The page I was trying to print stays on the sceen and I can't shut down my computer. I can put it into sleep mode. Also I can't type in an address or go to my home page. The only thing that works is going into m Bookmarks list and opening a website from there.

Using Safari to print from?
You can force quit apps by pressing Command + Option + Esc

What iOS version are you currently running?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

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.

Key Store error won't allow me to backup, or upgrade OS

I was in the process of upgrading my OS when the phone rang. I didn't answer it but it interupted the upgrade process, and when I tryed it again, it keeps stopping at the part for the Key Store, and it won't go past it. I can't even do a backup. Can anyone help me?
Here is a picture of where it stops. It also says your device has encountered a fatal error. But, once I unplug it from my computer, the phone works fine.

Ok one sec. Let me get that info together. I've made several videos in the past using the exact same kinds of photos from the same source and never had this problem before. I never had issues like this with premier elements 3.02 on my desktop computer either. I had elements 9 installed on my desktop and made several videos with no issues until about 6 months before I bought my laptop. My desktop was running windows xp and was pretty old and when I encountered this same problem for the first time on the desktop pc, I decided to just get a laptop thinking that maybe the issue was in my old pc. When I first got my laptop about a year ago, i had the dvd install disks for premier elements 3.02 and just decided to load that on and see how it did first before putting elements 9 on. I made 2 videos with no issues whatsoever and then started getting that same error message and could do nothing without the program shutting itself down. I hadn't made any videos since but decided to make one a few days ago. I tried again with 3.02 and got the same error message so I decided to download and install premier elements 9 and see how that would do. But again, I'm getting the same error message. I just don't understand why it would work one time and then start getting these error messages the next.

I recently got my GPU error fixed, but now my MacBook Pro shuts down whenever I close the lid.

I bought my computer in July 2010. After 3 and a half years I finally discovered there was and an issue. GPU error. Fine. ok. I went to the store and even though they were nice enough to fix it for free, I'm now having another issue. Whenever I shut my computer lid, the screen and keyboard doesn't work. I can hear the computer fans but no matter what I do I can't get the keyboard or screen to work. In order to get it to turn back on, I have to hold down the power button until I hear the inside turn off. Then I have to hold the power button again to turn it back on. DId they give me a faulty part when they fixed it? Or is there something I can do? My computer is in great condition. No scratches, never been dropped, etc. HOW DO I GET MY SCREEN AND KEYBOARD TO WORK?

Try resetting the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
If not take it back to where you had the work done.

I am getting a content protected error that won't allow my downloaded HD content from iTunes to play on my macbook air! help, please

I am getting a content protected error that won't allow my downloaded HD content from iTunes to play on my macbook air! help, please

This may seem obvious, but presumably you have authorized the MacBook Air in iTunes?

I bought a second hand MacBook Air and it won't allow me to install updates as up pops the previous owners log in details. How do I go about amending this?

The seller was remiss in not properly preparing the Mac for sale. That task has now fallen to you. You will encounter continual problems until you perform the following. Ignore references to DVD since the MacBook Air has none.
If you are unable to do that contact the seller and request instructions, or arrange for its return and a refund of your costs.
Refer to What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
If you enabled FileVault, disable it in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
"Deauthorize" your iTunes account. Same for Audible if you have one.
System Preferences > iCloud > de-select "Back to My Mac" and "Find my Mac".
Sign out of iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.
Next: Remove all your personal information by completely erasing the Mac's internal storage.
If your Mac shipped with a grey System Install DVD, start your Mac with that disc inserted in the optical drive while holding the c key to boot from it instead of its internal volume, which should be erased before selling it.
If your Mac did not ship with discs, boot OS X Internet Recovery:
using three fingers press and hold the following keys: ⌘(command), option, and R.
With a fourth finger press the power button to turn on the Mac.
Keep the other three fingers where they are until you see the "spinning globe" icon.
This method forces the Mac to download its originally installed OS from Apple's servers, which will not require an Apple ID to install.
Remove any Open Firmware password if you created one: select Firmware Password Utility from the Utilities menu and remove it.
Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
Remove any partitions you may have created.
Select the Mac's hard disk icon, then select the "Erase" tab.
Select the "Security Options" button and erase the disk.
The more "securely" you erase the disk, the longer it will take.
The fastest method is sufficient since all but the most expensive techniques and equipment will be able to recover securely erased data.
When it finishes, quit Disk Utility.
Select Install Mac OS X from the Utilities menu.
An Apple ID will not be required. If a prompt for an Apple ID appears, return to Step 5.
Do not create any user accounts.
When it finishes, shut down the computer.
If you want to install the bundled apps that were included with your Mac, restart by using your Applications DVD if one was included, and install the bundled apps. Apps bundled with newer Macs that shipped without discs cannot be transferred. Its new owner must purchase them from the Mac App Store using his or her own Apple ID.
If the Mac is being sold to someone outside the family consider the following additional information:
System Install DVDs that came with your Mac should remain with it forever, and must be included with the sale.
Consider including your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, printed documentation, even the box if you still have it. AppleCare stays with the equipment and is transferable.
Execute a bill of sale showing the Mac's serial number.
Once no longer in your possession, remove the Mac from your devices in My Support Profile.

My computer won't allow me to duplicate a CD! Error code -8058

I need to copy a CD and my lousy computer won't allow me. Is there some reason why it's not?

You didn't mention what CD you are trying to copy.
If it is just a regular CD, then it is possible that it is somehow copy-protected. This is a standard industry practice to prevent you from making copies of their programs. This is supposedly to crack-down on software piracy.
If it is a DVD, then the above suggestion is still possible. All DVD movies (well the commercial ones) are copy protected. And, duplicating them by any means is actually illegal in the United States (although there are programs that will do it - but those programs are also illegal here).
Copying program DVD's (such as the Mac OS) is legal if the license agreement permits it, and even then usually only for the purpose of having a backup in-case the original gets scratched or damaged somehow.
If it is not copy protected, and it is a DVD, then:
You should verify that your source DVD and destination DVD-R are the same type of disk, and that your drive can write that type of disk.
There are standard DVD disks and Dual-Layer disks. The Dual-Layer disks hold roughly double the capacity of a standard disk.
So, if you are trying to copy a Dual-Layer disk to a standard DVD disk, then it's not going to work.
Likewise, your drive also needs to be capable of writing to a dual-layer disk. Only the drives in the 17-inch MacBook Pro are able to do this. The 15-inch MacBook Pro is not able to write dual-layer disks.
Now, assuming that both the disk you are reading and the disk you are writing to are NOT Dual Layer DVD disks, then you may have a media problem.
In this case, it could be that the media is not a type that works well in your computer. Some drives are very particular about who's disks they'll work with. Others will burn anything.
So, I would check to see if the computer will burn files to that disk (or the same kind of disk) without trouble.
If it will write to that disk, but still will not copy the disk you are trying to duplicate, then you are probably dealing with copy protection or disks that are in a format that either you cannot write or are of different types.
If you are working with a DVD, you can usually tell if it is a dual-layer disk by seeing how large it's reported capacity is in the Finder.
Right-click on the disk on your desktop, and then click on "Get Info". If the reported capacity is beyond 4.7 GB, then you are most likely working with a dual-layer DVD.
And, of course, the obvious, don't try to copy a CD to a DVD or a DVD to a CD.
And, one more detail is that you need to have plenty of space available on your hard drive to burn a DVD or duplicate one. I tried with about 4 or 5 GB of space free, and was given an error. But, with more space available (around 20 GB) the computer was happy to burn a disk for me.
Again, without more information, it's hard to say for sure what your problem is. But, hopefully the ideas above will provide you with some help in making sure you are on the right track.

I have a HP Officejet Pro L7780. Recently it won't allow me to print from websites, The only way I can print is to 'copy' it to a word document then print. ANy suggestions as this has only recently been an issue.

Trying running the Print Diagnostic Utility and see if it finds any errors http://http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-91799-1&lc=en&dlc=en... . If that does not fix the issue try uninstalling the software and reinstalling it.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

I have FaceTime on my macbook pro but want to add it to my Mac pro. Since I've already purchased the app, it won't allow me to purchase it again. Can I use the app for both computers? How can I access FaceTime for this computer v. 10.6.8?

I have FaceTime on my Macbook Pro but want to add it to my Mac Pro v. 10.6.8. Since I've previously purchased it in the app store, it won't allow me to purchase it again. Can I use the same app for both of my computers? If so, how do I access the app to download it?

If you upgrade to Lion it comes bundeled with it!
To get it on your Mac Pro just copy the aplication from the aplication folder on your MacBook. You can do this via a thumb drive or over a local network connection.

I am getting a runtime error message that won't allow itunes to open when I plug in my ipod. Any suggestions?? I already rebooted my computer. It worked fine yesterday.

I am getting a run time error message that I've never seen before, it won't allow me to connect my ipod touch with windows. It says: An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
I have no idea what this means but it was working fine yesterday when I connected it.
I have rebooted my computer and nothing has been fixed.

Did you do this:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Trying to download iTunes on Windows Vista, get system administrator won't allow this kind of installation error. How do I get around that?

I'm trying to download iTunes on Windows Vista, get system adminstrator won't allow this kind of installation error. What should I do? It's 64-bit.

Macbook Pro 10.5.8 won't allow upgrade of iTunes to sync with iOS 7

Macbook Pro Mac OS X 10.5.8, won't allow upgrade of iTunes 11 to link in with iOS 7 iPhone update.
Do I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard operating system? Or Mountain Leopard operating system?
Help please!

You need to upgrade your version of OS X. Whether it is to Snow Leopard, Lion or Mt Lion (Not Mountain Snow Leopard) for the newest iTunes to work with iOS 7 I'm not sure. I don't own an iPhone and if I did I wouldn't be installing iOS 7 on it.
Oh and let me add you must first upgrade your Mac to Snow Leopard to be able to upgrade it to any of the newer version of OS X. Both Lion and Mt Lion are only availble from the Mac App Store which can only be accessed from Snow Leopard 10.6.7, or above 10.6.8, or from both Lion and Mt Lion.
So no matter which newer version of OS X you end up with you'll need to first upgrade to Snow Leopard.
