Printing from MacBook Pro 17" Mid 2010 running 10.8.2 ... persistent inability for Apple MacBook Pro to print to a variety of HP printers (have run Windows and Ubuntu on Parallels and same printers work) ... what is going on with Apple printer support?
What is wrong with Apple's support of printers ... inability for MacBook Pros to connect with HP and other printers. Yet the same printers
work under Mac OS based Parallels (running Windows or Ubuntu) - WHY? Finger pointing (HP . Apple ... Apple > HP) ... who cares ... FIX IT ... this has gone on for months now. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
HP discontinued support (read: stopped updating their OS X printer drivers) for a lot of their printers back when Apple released Snow Leopard and dropped even more when Lion was released. This is an HP problem, not an Apple problem.
Exacty what printers are you having problems with?
If any of your printers are on the HPIJS list, try installing the HPIJS drivers (there are 3 files to install, and it won't hurt anything). This solved the issue for me on Snow Leopard, Lion and Mt. Lion with my older HP printers.

What is going on with Apple? I've just downloaded their Mavericks and my computer is performing so badly, I'm wondering if Mavericks is some sort of diabolical malware! How can I get Mavericks out of my computer?
What is your year and specs of your Mac Pro?
How much RAM installed?
How full is your Mac's hard drive?
Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X and have negative effects on system performance.
Do you have apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac?
These types of apps, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
Plus, these type of apps aren't really necessary.
They really aren't.
There are manual methods to clear off unnecessary data off of your Mac that are safer and you have complete control over your Mac and not just leave a piece of auto cleaning software in charge of clearing off data off of your Mac.
These apps potential of causing OS X issues outweighs the implied good and benefits these types of hard drive or memory "cleaning" apps are written to do.
Plus, the software company's that write these apps make it hard to easily uninstall these apps if something DOES go wrong and these apps work in a way where you have no recovery or revert function to return your Mac back to its former, working state in the event something does go wrong.
It is best to never download and install these types of apps.
The risk to your system and data is too great a risk! -
My 822 now says, "ERROR: Unable to find bootable option. Press any key to shut down." Just happened after my phone froze. Everything I've searched says to replace the phone. I have no phone in or out, no alarm....what is going on with this? I see others have the same problem.
Just got the same error message today. My phone went to the black screen of death with the error message at the top. Contacted Verizon via chat. Was online for 1 hour and 15 minutes only to find out that nothing could be done which I could have told them based upon what I had read on this site. Of course my phone is out of warranty since I have had it for 1 1/2 years and I am not eligible for an upgrade. How convenient! I was told to contact Nokia which I did and they gave me a download to try to reset everything. It looked like it was working but after almost 3 hours it got to the end and nothing happened. It just froze even though it said it was done. I rebooted the phone and am back at the same black screen of death. Guess I have to buy a used phone and then will have to reconsider whether or not to stay with Verizon going forward. I have not had any issues with the phone in the past - keep it in an otter box, never dropped, never got wet, etc. But all of a sudden it goes haywire like this that seems like either a hardware or software problem but something completely out of my control and all I get is sorry, you're out of warranty!

What is going on with Apple this year? Syncing is now a challenge, when adding new content to devices either way, iphone, ipad, macbook, itunes does not see the content anymore unless you shut it down and re-open it, if you are using iphoto + itunes, neither sync up unless they are both shut down and restarted.
Apple has always done an incredible job syncing content, as it is added in itunes or iphoto or on a device it was immediately accessable on any device to be used or sync based on user settings, is this fragmented syncing due to iOS 6 and itunes or has apple simply lost it's focus or i am missing a setting somewhere?
This fragmentation occurs with photo's, media files such as music and video, apps, email etc. Anyone else experiencing this?no problem syncing photos and videos for me.
and thats why i manage everything else manually...music and videos. syncing music and videos is 'crap' for me. -
WhAT IS GOING ON WITH APPLE STORE IS NOT WORKING
what is going on with the apple store, it is not working.
Three basic questions (which you may have covered with the customer service people already):
For your speed of movie download problem, how fast is your internet connection? The movie file is probably about 1.5 GB (much larger than the videos and short films you've downloaded before), which could take 20 minutes to download on a really fast connection (at a University), an hour or so on cable, 3+ hours on mid-range DSL, or a lot longer if your connection is slower than that. 8 hours does seem too long, but it's possible the problem is with your internet service, not iTunes. Your router is obviously not the problem if it still takes 8 hours after you've bypassed it.
For the iPod transferring problem, does your iPod have the latest software update (v.1.1.2, which came in the iPod Updater 2006-06-28 for Windows)? You can see what version you have by clicking on your iPod in iTunes and looking at the Summary, where it will tell you what version of the iPod software you've got and will let you download the new one if you need it.
And can you transfer music files to your iPod using iTunes 7 without problems? Can you transfer those old short films to it? Is it just the new movies that won't transfer?
You wouldn't be the only person to be having problems with iTunes 7 for Windows (I'm one of them, too), but it would be helpful to eliminate the basic stuff before giving up.

What is going on with Apple / ITunes?
What a mess! I received a video IPod in August and with some issues (my lack of computer knowledge) all has worked out. I wanted to download a new movie and its where it all went south. Just so you know I have downloaded videos and short films with zero issues and was really looking forward to having movies for a long trip I’m taking on Wednesday.
First I'm told I must download new 7 version and that did not work for some time but now its loaded. I purchased a movie and the download took most of yesterday. I called Apple support and was sold support for $59.00 since I had already called to question the download issue (only one free call) I was told the issue is probably I am using a router and I should bypass the router.
I decide to mess with it in the morning (today) and when I go on line to ITunes my movie is downloaded. I try to add it to my IPod and it will not transfer. I call customer service (on hold 45 minutes) and speak with a woman with a very strong Indian accent. We go though tons of marketing research gathering information and she basically doesn't know what is the issue. We look in files, we spend 20+ minutes on the phone and she tells me I need to speak with someone else. I now go on hold again and with 10+ minutes a upper level tech comes on the line and ask me many of the same questions, telling me I need to redirect me internet connection away from the router and that may be the issue.
All said and done she finally directs me to the ITunes web site where I can email them for help since Apple does not support ITunes tech issues. I must be crazy because I then think she might be right about the router and I bypass and buy another movie from ITunes. What do you know it is telling me I have only 8 more hours remaining downloading an 2 hour movie????
Can anyone tell me what is going on and what I need to do to get the 2 movies I purchased onto my IPod. I'm now down $59.00 for no service and $9.99 times 2. Blockbuster and my DVD playing is looking better all the time. Thanks, Margrettte

Post your ship by date, device and results - see if we can figure out what is going in with stock
Hi everyone. I have been trying to get information on stock and delivery with limited results. Different answers from customer service. Maybe we can help each other by posting the order date time, consumer vs business account, iphone 5s color and size and the "will ship by date". Let us know if you received the iphone 5s or if your date changed. I ordered on 9/29 at 8am, business customer, will ship by date of 10/7' iphone 5s space grey 64gb. No change in date or emails received with an update. No delivery of device I ordered a bundle with black case and charger.
Hi Everyone. I wanted to give you a quick update. As I stated in the original post, I ordered a grey iPhone 5s 64GB on 9/20 at 8am EDT (first time business customers could order). Received an email confirmation at 8:17 am confirming order and "will Ship by" of 10/7. I have heard nothing since. In fact, the online system still says expected ship date is 10/7. After talking to Vz support via DM over the weekend (post above) and then calling business support yesterday, I have come to find out that Verizon held the order until 10/9. They say the fraud department held it, but cannot explain why or why it took them two plus weeks to release it (account in good order and not a single communications via email, to the cell number or the land line of thee master account which is my desk). There was no issue ever identified. They are telling me that the order from their view was placed on 10/9 and I have to wait until 10/28 to get the device. To be clear, this is the same date for the "Will ship by" if I placed a new order today. Pretty sad. They are taking no responsibility nor are they honoring the orders in which they are placed. The customer service reps tell me they have no way to submit to get the order bumped up in priority with the warehouse or fix the issue. The reps have pointed to fraud prevention department as the problem (but they have no way to contact them), indicated that online ordering is yet another department with no contacts, etc. After talking to two reps and a manager (all very nice and well-intentioned), looks like I'm just going to get screwed and have to wait a few more weeks. It is unfortunate that "we" cannot trust orders placed online with Verizon, receive updated, clear and accurate communications or assume that Verizon will honor orders in the order placed. My only suggestion is that you have to call customer service to verify any orders and stay on them. My only hope is that somehow someone in Vz senior manager is paying attention to what is happening and attempts to fix the problems. I'm contemplating moving to another provider that apparently has stock online today. Don't want to, but losing faith quickly.

Macbook Pro 15 (mid-2010) + Lion = Blackscreen HELP !!!
Hi,
I upgraded to Lion four days ago on my Macbook Pro 15" (mid-2010). Since the upgrade I am regularly getting crashs which turn the screen blank. I can't see any windows or mouse icon. The only way to use my laptop again is to hold down the power button for 10 seconds to shut the laptop down, then I can power the laptop on and boot up as normal (until the next crash happens).
The crash happens when I am switching to a new application or window, but the application is not consistent - sometimes it is Preview, sometimes Mail, sometimes Safari, etc.
I have used bootcamp since upgrading to Lion, but don't get this problem in Win XP.
Don't have the problem while i'm using SL, i've tried to install SL and it's ok, no black screen.
Can Apple please help?
EricSomeone here ?

I have a new Macbook pro and need to run some Windows software, it appears "Parallel" should work well from what I've have read. Will I have any issues or problems accessing and printing from various printers on my Windows 7 network within Parallel? Is Parallel in fact the best way to go?
First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long. -
Hi, all.
Two days ago I was using my computer, a 2011 Macbook Pro, and suddenly got the error message reading "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Closing windows and removing files from your startup disk will also help."
I was only using Google Chrome, nothing was running in the background, and I have 443 of 449.25 GB available (this is after clean-up I conducted after receiving the error message, but probably cleaned up less than 25 GB), so there should be no shortage of space. However, the message kept popping up and I deleted a few files and eventually it went away and hasn't reappeared.
However, last night and then again this morning I have been getting the error message that my USB drive is pulling too much power and has been disable. All that was plugged in was my iPhone 5 on the charger and my computer is also on its charger, so I don't know why this would be an issue, either. I have always charged my phone this way and never had a problem until today.
I haven't been able to charge my phone since. What's going on with my computer?Regarding the USB, see if zapping the PRAM helps.

What kind of display can I add to my MacBook Pro 13 mid 2010?
I have a MacBook Pro 13 mid 2010. Please see the specs below. It is still working great, but I would like to add an external display so I have a bigger screen to work from when I remote into my office desktop. What would be an economical way of adding a secondary display to use with this machine? I don't need state of the art graphics. This is mainly for writing code and documentation. Thanks.

Extended desktop and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors
iSight camera
Mini DisplayPort
Video output options
DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter
VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter
Dual-link DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter supports 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display (optional)
HDMI output using a third-party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapterThanks...just got a Dell monitor and an adapter for the mini displayport to HDMI. It hooked up very easily and looks great. <$300.
