Printing issues since upgrade to Mac OS 10.6.7

Hello,
since I upgraded to Version 10.6.7, my Canon LBP3100 doesn't print black writing anymore. Everything else just like printing pictures works fine. Reinstalling the printer's driver didn't help and the printer used to work before I upgraded Mac OS 10.6.7...
Does anyone know when Apple is going to fix this issue? I find this to be pretty ridiculous, they better work on getting this problem fixed because I really don't feel like downgrading or using programs like printtherapy in order to restart the cups-printer-service every time after restarting my macbook....
Thanks for your help in advance!

Canon released an updated CAPT driver to resolve this issue. You can obtain v3.31 via this link. Before installing this latest version, delete the print queue in Print & Fax (select the printer and press the minus button) and then open Finder and navigate to HD > Library > Printers > Canon and trash the CAPT folder. With this removed you can now run the new v3.31 installer and then add the printer again.

Since upgrading my Mac OS 10.9 and Mavericks, I am unable to open App Store and other problems.

My computer has gone haywire since upgrading to Mac OS 10.9 and adding Mavericks. Mail was a big problem with my not being able to read messages, but now there has been a mail upgrade to solve that. However, still cannot open App Store from my Dock and cannot open Software Update from the apple menu. Lots of other screwy things going on and Apple seems of no help to try and resolve these issues. Anyone with similiar problems or issues?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Performance issues since upgrade

I am on a late 2011 MacBook Pro and am having severs performance issues since upgrading to Mavericks. I fear my issues may be related to company installed anti-virus (which I cannot remove), but I was hoping someone could look over my EtreCheck for other potential solutions.
One really odd issue I am having, which I cannot seem to find good information for on Google, is at least 4-5 times a day my Mac just stops. No beach ball, no anything, for about 1-5 minutes. Then it's fine. Maybe just me grasping at straws, but it seems related to a when webpage loads a bunch of images? I always use Safari btw, but testing other browsers, like Chrome & Firefox, it happens as well.
I have also removed TotalFinder and have noticed no improvement and still have the above issue.
Thanks in advance!

Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS

Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS. Animation I was working on that had been performing in browser fine suddenly stopped working, and was not related to any action I had done at that point. Also was working in it today and program stopped responding to key board short cut commands.

I am having a whole slew of odd interface problems with a fresh 2014.1.1 on a fresh macbook pro with latest Yosemite. Program locks up, cursor selections don't show, things disappear. I have a mac mini also and the program runs fine on it. Is there possibly something related to the solid state hard drive in new macs?

Since upgrade to Mac OS 10.7.2L , recurring error message: "There was a problem connecting to the server "servername". The server may not exist...etc."

Since upgrade to Mac OS 10.7.2 Lion, on MacBookPro, recurring (every minute or so) error message: "There was a problem connecting to the server "servername". The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network conneection, and then try again." (The server specified is no longer connected or used). The error message must be clicked twice to continue to work on the computer. Time Machine is switched off. No external disks are connected. Keychain entries for "servername" have been removed since the problem arose. Is there any way to prevent this error message?

I am having the same problem; have tried deleting some of the plist files as others suggested but to no avail. Tried turning off time machine - that didn't fix it either. Very dispappointing.

Why can't I print after I upgrade to MAC OS 10.10 (Yosemite)?

Why can't I print after I upgrade to MAC OS 10.10 (Yosemite)?

You need a printer driver upgrade. Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if they have a new driver available. If not, then ask their tech support for additional help.
Meanwhile, open Print & Scan preferences, select the installed driver and click on the Delete [-] button. Then CTRL- or RIGHT-click in the list space and select Reset Print System from the context menu. Now, click on the Add [+] button to re-Add your printer. See it this helps. Be sure your printer is connected and turned on.

Since upgrading my Mac OS X from 10.6.8 to 10.8 and 10.9, I cannot open newly downloaded pdf files. Please help! Thanks.

Hi,
Since upgrading my Mac OS X from 10.6.8 to firstly, 10.8 and then, 10.9, I have not been able to open new pdf files on either Preview or Acrobat Reader.
I can still open previously downloaded pdf files but not new ones.
I can still open new pdf files online. However, when I save a pdf to my computer, I cannot open them anymore.
I upgraded to 10.8 a couple of weeks ago and then accepted a free upgrade to Maverick (10.9) this morning. I was hoping that by upgrading to Maverick, I would be able to open pdf files again but alas, that is not the case.
I really need to open pdf files as a matter of urgency as I do this on a daily basis. I am not a computer whizz so if anyone can help find a simple yet effective solution to my problem, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

When I try to open a downloaded pdf file, I receive this message:
"It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."
Yet, when I try to open pdf files downloaded whilst still using Mac OS X 10.6.8, they open as normal. So what is the problem, please?
I have deleted Adobe Reader and re-installed it. Yet, it follows the same pattern as above. The same is true of Preview. It's really frustrating because it means I can only open new pdf files using Safari (so I have to be online to do this). I need to be able to open pdf files when I'm offline as well.
Thanks.

No Printer sharing since upgrading to 10.3.9

Since upgrading my ibook to 10.3.9 I can no longer print via my DSL modem network (Epson stylus 6240). Printer Sharing worked great until this upgrade. In fact, now when I do attempt to print even from the iMac (where the printer is USB connected) I find it also cannot print unless I turn off sharing and delete the printer from the printer list and then re-add it. When I say it won't print, it attempts to open the connection and relatively quickly indicates printing has been stopped (exclamation point over the printer in the dock). Any suggestions? I've tried the usual troubleshooting stuff, uninstalling, reinstalling, etc.

Messages App| connectivity issues since upgrading to Mavericks

is anyone having problems since upgrading to Mavericks with connectivity issues in the "Messages" app? Im on a 2011 MacBook Pro. I will start a desktop share session with my folks (IMAC) and within 2-3 minutes of having access to their desktop, I'm unable to control any longer and their system freezes.

HI,
When iChat 3 came out someone tested whether it would work on the platform that was running iChat 2 and also tested whether iChat 2 would work on the later OS.
This eventually led to the Reinstall procedure for iChat 3 up to the iChat 5 version.
Since then the app has required either a Backup version from when it was working, a copy on another machine running the same OS and app version numbers (the two go hand in hand) or you have to Reinstall the whole OS which will always update you to the latest version of the OS (and in the case of Messages any updates it has had).

Proxy Issues since upgrading to Mavericks

I use my Mac Mini (Model 5,1 Core i5, 2.3GHz) at work and run windows using VMWare. Since upgrading to Mavericks I cannot get OSX to connect to the proxy server. I am using the same settings as I used in Mountain Lion, which worked fine. I do not have any problems with Windows connecting.
I can see the internal network, access files and printers, but cannot get through the proxy server to the internet. Oddly enough Dropbox on the Mac works fine through the proxy server so I have to think its a problem in Mavericks.
I have tried changing settings including manually entering proxy info for all protocols under network settings.
Unfortunately the IT guys only support Windows (which is working) so I am on my own on the Mac side.
Anyone else having a problem or have a solution (besides waiting for an update)?

One of the users just upgraded and is having this issue as well. I told him to use Firefox as that browser has no problems. This is a workaround at best as the Apple Store is still inaccessable. I believe the problem lies with Safari's implementation of SSL as normal http:// sites load, albeit very slowly. Any sites that use https:// are unavailable.

WorkGroup Manager issues since upgrading to OS X Server 10.4.1.10

Hi all.
Since upgrading our XServe [Dual 2.3GHz PowerPC G5, 6GB RAM] to OS X Server v10.4.1.10 I have had an issue where I have to quit the program and relaunch to be able to "see" a newly created network home folder. I need to view it under the Sharing tab so to assign the correct permissions since that has no longer worked since upgrading to server version 10.4.7.
Long story short is... we have our students home folder on the XServe and their preferences are managed via WGM but they use the Active Directory server for authentication. Basically our school district wanted to create a student account once and be able to use it for Windows or Mac's. Therefore, I export a user from the AD server and import the user into the Mac server ( LDAP domain) and things worked fine 2 years ago when the server was set up but now we have this... any thoughts would be appreciated.

What was the upgrade from?
What optical drive model? (There may be a firmware update on the Apple downloads to deal with Tiger.)
You might also try an NVRAM reset, as NVRAM is read early, by the machine’s boot firmware, and going back to ground zero can help. To reset NVRAM, you need to boot into Open Firmware by holding down the cmd-option-O-F key combination until you get the white Open Firmware terminal screen. Once you are there, enter the following three commands:
reset-nvram <enter>
set-defaults <enter>
reset-all <enter>
The last command will cause the machine to reboot. When you next boot, the firmware will generate a new device table and maybe cure the problem.

Diplay issues since upgrading to 10.6.7

I have a late 2010, 11.6 inch MacBook Air which I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.7 yesterday. Today I started noticing intermittent display problems including periodic flickering of the screen with horizontal lines or brief complete disruption of the screen.
Here is an example that I captured on my iPhone:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zuPXWDXeRk
Then when I restarted the computer the last time, on booting up the display showed these thin vertical stripes (instead of the usual grey background and Apple logo):
The problem has settled for now. Has anyone else experienced it. Is it likely a hardware issue or related to the upgrade ?

No one else experiencing this. THis has been happening off and on since I posted and today it is happening multiple times that I have had to reboot. Sometime the screen goes bright with those vertical lines, and when you reboot this is what happens:

Can't print PDFs since upgrading to 4.0.1. It just does nothing!

Since upgrading, when I view a PDF it doesn't seem to be using Acrobat any more. It displays like a normal HTML page without the Acrobat border. When I try to print or print preview, I get nothing. The printer selection window doesn't even come up.
This happens with old PDFs I have on file that I have used all the time, so it isn't any specific PDFs - it's all of them.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session.
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Database connectivity issues since upgrading to 2011

I have several reports that were created in CR 2008. Since upgrading to 2011, none of them connect to the SQL server when I try to refresh the data. The error message says invalid logon. I can get the reports to refresh if I follow this process:
1.     Close the report
2.     Delete connections to the SQL server
3.     Close CR
4.     Open CR
5.     Create a new blank report and connect to the same data source as the failed report
6.     Open the report that was failing
7.     Refresh the data
Everything works at that point. Once I close CR, next time I access the report I have to go through the entire process again. Saving the reports after successfully establishing a connection does not fix the issue. I have reset the data source location from the database menu as well as established new system and file DSNs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Darren

Hi Darren,
What I meant for version of CR 2011 is to click on Help About... you'll see the version number there.
Interesting, So if it fails in the ODBC Admin test then of course it's going to fail in CR Designer, CR simply uses what connection info you specify in the DSN or in the file. If you can get the DSN to work non-kerberose then adding that configuration to your File DSN should allow CR to work also.
Couple of possibilities, Older versions of CR ignored the security configuration, or at least this one test, and it was fixed in CR 2011, or possibly the File DSN needs to have the security type enabled through the connection property. Check MS for help on what the info in the line is to enable it.
Another possible solution is according to this MS Kbase they recommend that you use Kerberose...
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909801
So the result is, Set Kerberose on the Server or find out how MS will support non-kerberose security client side and see if that works. But because MS recommends using it discuss with your DBA and recommend to all to enable it and use it.
Thanks again
Don

Screen Issues since upgrading

Since upgrading to `lion, my 2007 Macpro often runs very hot and also I have been experiencing some screen issues (hangs, on reboot get a pink and grey check effect, wont boot)
Support center advised on some resets and a re-install of Lion. However although this has 'reduced' the effect it still occurs
Any advise or similar experiences

If it runs better in your Guest account, then something in your admin account is getting in the way.
Probably not a systemwide issue.
The first place I'd look is in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Don’t just “hide” them by checkmark.
Running at max RAM shouldn't be a problem in Mavericks, as it handles memory more efficiently than previous systems, also you have virtual memory and you have a good amount of free disk space for it.
http://www.apple.com/osx/advanced-technologies/
That said more RAM is always better but I can understand why you wouldn't want to spend the money on the Mini at this point.
