Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion. Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion. Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

this has been an issue with Quicken for a long time! Quicken was initially a Mac only application and then they got greedy! i beta-tested Quicken for Intuit for years and when they announced they were not going to support it any more the screaming was loud but not heard!
Quicken Essentials is a crime! i wasn't even asked to beta-test it; probably because they would have gotten an earful!!! it is not essential; it is stupid.... AND, of course, their online version was a disaster. i use Quickbooks Online for business and it works like a charm; i mean it even downloads ignominious PayPal transactions now!
i am also stupid for not really checking out if it would work with Lion - ALL of my financials are on it. I am going to have to do what @cwiens suggested above and either pull out an old Macbook I have or my well stored original Cube in its original box! thank the fates for the double backup i've always done with Quicken - Time Machine & its own key drive!
btw, this is an old Microsoft trick - not having older versions of apps work on OS updates so they force you to buy the new versions.

Microsoft Office. Epson Scan, Canon software won't work with Lion OS

Microsoft Office. Epson Scan, Canon software won't work with Lion OS

Microsoft office 2008 and later work fine on Lion. Office 2004 is a PowerPC application. PPC apps are no longer supported and Lion does not include Rosetta, which was required to run them on OS X. I imagine the Epson / Canon software you are trying to use is the same. Check with them to see if updates are available.

Printer won't work with Mavericks

Since downloading Mavericks, my HP printer won't work--at the office AND at home. Please help.
I've done everything I think was suggested from removing HP software, reseting printing, factory default of printer--everything!
Please help!

I guess from reading your message that Mavericks just hasn't got the drivers from HP to support this. You don't specify what model printer you are using but I would suggest that this issue here is that either your PH printer is an old model or that you need to go looking towards the HP website and see what their responses are to providing the appropriate drivers. You're not alone sadly and this is the problem when you move forward with the times and the ancilliary equipment you have come to rely on is no longer up to speed. Good luck!

Quicken for Mac replacement - won't work with Lion

Quicken has sent an announcement to users confirming that Quicken for Mac 2005-2007 will not work with Lion, and encourage these users to begin using Quicken Essentials. Obviously this is not an option for many. I'm going to try out iBank 4 as a full replacement for Quicken for Mac, although I understand online bill pay is not supported.
Any other former Quicken for Mac users using iBank 4? Would love to hear your thoughts about it.

Just to add to the thread..
As Quicken will not be supporting the Mac Lion Update, I will require a replacement financial/banking software package for Quicken 2007.
I tried Quicken Essentials but it does not do what I need.
I am looking for the following features:
Check Printing
Memorized Transactions (QuickFill in Quicken)
Custom Reports
Memorized Reports
Scheduled Transactions
I do not need investment/budget/online banking features.
Sure would appreciate some advice!
Many thanks!

Printer won't work with Yosemite

I recently install Lion OS on my iMac and just found out that my Canon 4400F scanner won't work with Lion, what can I do to get it working again?

I am having trouble with some of my previously installed software before installing the New Lion OS. I just found this evening that my Canon 4400F Scanner will no longer work with the new OS. I need to know if there is a solution for this short of buying a new scanner? I am also upset that my Microsoft Office Professional will no longer boot as well. Anyone know why this took place?

If it will not longer work due to Lion, it's most likely becasuse no drivers for Lion have been released. No way to get aroud it other than going back to Snow Leopard. MS Office wont work if it is '04 or earlier becasue it is a PPC application. Mac switched from PPC to Intel in 2006 and created the Rosetta emulator to allow companies to make their software compatable or allow users to buy new software. After 5 years, Rosetta support was dropped, with the release of Lion. No way to get this software to work with Lion.

HP Printer Won't Work With Snow Leopard

Hi, I hope you can help. I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and my HP printer won't print. It is a Laserjet 1015 and new drivers are meant to be on the list with SN. My iMac recognises the printer is there but cannot make a connection. I am networking it using an Airport which is working fine. I have even reset the printer system and deleted the printer and added it again but after starting to process a document to print it just stops.
The other thing is that Pages v 1.0.2 also won't work now. I can open the software, but it can't open any existing documents nor will it open a new blank template. This is my work software (I'm a journalist) so this is a real worry. Any suggestions??
Thanks so much
Jo

Hi JoJoh,
I can't be of much help with the printer but I just checked my "Pages" and my version number is 4.0.2. I'm using iWork 09. Perhaps you need to update? I just checked the "Snow Leopard Compatible" site and found "Apple Pages 4.0.2" is compatible. It didn't mention 1.0.2. I'm so sorry. That's pretty rough when it's how you make your living.
As for the printer, I have an HP Photosmart C4580 which wouldn't print. I finally just deleted all the printers on my MacBook and used my Snow Leopard install disk and selected the "Optional Install" which allowed me to just reinstall the printers. My HP is now working fine. I do feel like this is just a work-around until HP gets things sorted out. I say that because even though my HP now works, the only place it shows up is in my users folder. It's not in my Applications folder, but as long as it works for now, I don't care.
Hope I was of some help to you. Best of luck!

Truecrypt won't work with lion.

Truecrypt worked great with Snow Leopard. Won't with Lion. Get message about "MacFUSE file system not available." There is info I need to get from Truecrypt. Help please.

I have just found that it indeed does work, but only after I downloaded a new revisionof Macfuse, which I learned from another forum.

Canon MF4207 MultiFunction Laser Printer won't work with TCP/IP

Bought this printer. Very cool. Great quality. Fast...
But, we can't even get a "ping" via TCP/IP. We're about to take it back. Looking at other threads, do Canon's not work with Mac's on networks (even though their documentation says they do)?
Anyone with ideas?
Running both from a ether wired imac and a wireless powerbook. All on 10.4.?.
Thanks
Doug

First of all, Canon's designed for network printing do work. Most of the posts you have probably seen are for printers that haven't been designed for network printing, yet the users are still trying to configure them this way???
Looking at the manual, there a couple of things you need to do to print across a network.
As Kappy suggested, the first thing you need to do is configure the IP address of the MF4270. By default, the machine is set to DHCP, but if you don't have something on your network allocating addresses, then it will be set to all zero's.
Now you mention it won't ping, so we could make the assumption that you have set an appropriate IP address for your network and the machine is not responding. To be sure that you do have this set to the same subnet as your Mac network, print a User Data List.
Additional Functions > 11. Report Settings > OK > 2. List Print > 9. User Data List > OK
This will show you the IP address and subnet mask. It will also show you if LPD and RAW (Port 9100) print services have been enabled.
If you do not have an appropriate IP address set, then you need to press Additional Functions and scroll to 12. System Settings.
Press OK and scroll to 2. Network Settings then press OK.
This will show TCP/IP Settings. Press OK.
Scroll to 1. IP Address Auto and press OK. It will show ON. Scroll so it shows OFF and then press OK.
Now scroll to 2. IP Address and press OK. This will show the current address. Using the numeric keypad enter the desired IP address for the printer. Press OK to complete.
Now scroll to 3. Subnet Mask and input the appropriate subnet mask and press OK.
Now you can press the Stop/Reset key to exit and maybe print another User Data list to ensure the settings you entered are correct.
Now that you have the IP address set, you need to install the Canon UFR2 v1.60 driver for Mac OS X. If this version didn't come with the machine you can download it from the Canon web site.
Once you have run this driver installer you are ready to add the printer. Open the Printer Setup Utility and select Add. Select More Printers. Now select 'Canon IP (UFR II)'. This will show a pane allowing you to enter the IP address of the printer. It also wants a queue name. Enter LP for the queue name. Click Add and wait as the driver software will now query the printer and auto select the appropriate ppd. Once this is complete the MF4270 will appear in the Printer List.

My HP Photosmart 385 printer won't work with my operating system - Windows Vista Ultimate. Why not?

Is there a driver that I can dowload so my HP Photosmart 385 printer will work with my Windows Vista Ultimate operating system?

Hey Alyssa426,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
Since the installation disk does not support Windows 8.1, I would suggest trying to download, and install the drivers directly from the HP Support website. I have included a link to the 'HP Deskjet F4200/F4224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver'. Once the software is downloaded, open the software, and follow through the on screen instructions for installation.
Please let me know the outcome of installing the software.
Thank you.

Printer won't work with Snow Leopard

Hello,
I have been using a Lexmark colour printer with my iMac. I upgraded to Snow Leopard and since then my printer does not work. Does anyone have a solution to this as I don't really want to buy another printer, especially as I have bought a new stock or print cartridges for the printer.
Many thanks to anyone who can help.
Kind regard, Maggi

Hello Maggi:
This is a list of OS X supported printer drivers:

Since you did not indicate your specific printer model, I cannot make further suggestions.
If your printer is not listed, some people have had success with generic Gutenberg drivers.

I recently installed an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in May 2013. It replaced an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in July 2007. My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but the printer won't work with the new one.

I recently installed an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in May 2013. It replaced an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in July 2007. My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but I'm having trouble with the new one. When I try to print, I get a USB Waiting message on the printer, and when I force a page to print by pressing Go on the printer, I get a page that says ERROR: syntaxerror OFFENDING COMMAND: true. . . .cvt . . . fpgm . . . x . . .lglyf . . . <..J head . . . STACK: / [ -mark- /sfnts I’ve tried shutting down the printer and disconnecting it and the Airport, but that doesn’t help. I reset the settings on the printer. I upgraded the Airport firmware and removed, reinstalled, and upgraded the Lexmark printer driver. After I upgraded the firmware and printer driver, a few pages printed correctly, but then I got the same syntax error page as before. Any suggestions for getting the printer to work correctly?

Use a powered USB hub between the AE and the printer.. the usb port does sometimes have issues.
Try deleting the printer in the Mac and reinstall it.. the change in AE can represent effectively a change of printer.. it is important to make sure that is all up to date.
Beyond that.. USB printers.. ughhh! Consider for two toners you can go and buy a proper network printer.

Trackpad won't work with LION new options...Apple said trackpad solid-state and not compatible MACPRO...REALLY???

So frustrated!! Should have had disclamer that it might not work with OLDER 2008 MacPro...

It seems to work fine with my March 2007 Mac Pro. Mind you, you're probably overlooking the need for the Bluetooth adapter. I bought a Belkin adapter from Apple Store. UK, cost about GBP10.
Edit: This is the baby: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/TW622ZM/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY

Canon MP780 printer won't work on Lion

I've recently upgraded my Mac to one running Lion 10.7.2.
My Canon PIXMA MP780 no longer works. The icon is sitting in the dock with a no-entry sign through it.
I've downloaded new software and drivers for it, restarted, deleted and re-added the printer via System Preferences, and am really not sure what to do next...
Have emailed Canon who can take up to 5 days to respond. I'd like to do some printing before that if I possibly can.
One thing I wasn't able to do that Apple recommend here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147 is to reset the printing system. The dialogue box they refer to doesn't contain the 'reset printing system' option they refer to here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/14001.html
Would be most grateful if anyone has experience of this or knows of a fix.
Many thanks!
Helen

I have the same problem! I upgraded software and the Canon MX780 printer just went away. Print & scan has the Canon MX870 series put only the scan options. However, I can still print from a networked laptop. Just like I always could. Thinking of importing the laptop DMG and trying to install it. Canon site has only a scanner driver.
Apple support site tells me that Canon printer driver for MX870 is"
Canon MX870 series
10.51.2.0
P
Like I said I can print from a networked laptop.
