Printing problems with new Macbook Pro and Canon I9900

I would like to know why my printed output on the Canon I9900 is showing up much darker than the image shown on the screen. I have installed the latest driver from Canon and am still having this problem. I have tried the different Colorsync profiles listed for the Canon and have not seen any improvement. I am using 4x6 matte paper by Kodak and have selected the correct paper type and settings.

Hi there,
I would like to know why my printed output on the
Canon I9900 is showing up much darker than the image
shown on the screen.
The answer to your question is simple; colour on a monitor is made differently than colour on a printed image. Monitors combine Red, Green and Blue (RGB) in a process called Additive colour while printers use Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK) with a process known as Subtractive colour. The matching of what you see on the screen to what you get printed is a time consuming (and expensive) process and often subject to a users preference.
For the home user this process is often too complicated. If you accept that what you see is not what you will get then half the battle will be won. However, that doesn't mean that you cannot get good output on your printer. A number of applications give you the ability to adjust your output. You just need to experiment with a number of settings to get a 'workflow' that you prefer. If you can tell me which application you are using to print from I may be able to offer some values that will help.

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

Facebook problems with new macbook pro.

Facebook problems with new macbook pro. I can't publish photo albums to timeline. I can't share items onto timeline. Photos I'm tagged in don't appear on my timeline. Any help?

Yes! Been living in a hellish nightmare since Sept-Oct. Unlike you, however, Apple has been of no help. They say the iPad is unhackable, plist and crash reports are none of my business and who understands them anyway, their route tracing apps are probably not reliable. The best they could do was wipe the iPad clean. Lost photos they said would be in the cloud....
Almost immediately was back in somebody's VPN, their remote controller, video, audio, working. Got the purple buddy for the first time today. I have been invaded, my iPad no longer feels like my own, I have lost thanksgiving, Christmas, new year trying to track down the invaders, signed up for a Cisco course, set/reset passwords.
I don't know who else to contact... Or what next to do.
I've read similar frustration in other posts, scattered around the support communities. Yours is the only one that has worked toward a solution.
How did you get anyone at apple to look at your logs and acknowledge there is a problem?
Would be happy for a suggestion on how to proceed. Already been the apple store genius and tech on phone route.

I am having problems with my macbook pro and the dock. About every fourth time I start the computer, the dock flashes on and off, then goes completely off and all I get is the spinning ball with brief moments of the cursor. But the computer locks up.

Do you have Parallels installed by any chance? There is a known problem that causes symptoms similar to this. You do not need to actually be running Parallels at the time and nothing in ActivityMonitor would point to Parallels. An update corrects the problem:

Which firewire cable for new MacBook Pro and Canon HV20?

I just bought a new MacBook Pro and want to transfer video from my Canon HV20 camcorder (using FinalCut Express). The Canon instructions say to use a "DV cable" and I've learned that the MacBook Pro only has an "800 fire wire" port. Can someone give me the exact type of cable that I should get (even my local Apple Store couldn't help me).
Thanks!

I'm surprised that the folks at the Apple Store couldn't guide you. You just need a firewire cable with the proper fw400 connector on one end and a fw800 connector on the other. Here's one source for both cables and adapters:

Update problems with new macbook pro

I bought a new macbook pro and had keynote, pages, and numbers added onto before shipped to me. Now when I try to update any of these apps it says "This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again."

If you purchased any of the iWork applications in the last 7 months, you do not require an update.

I have been using Plantronic bluetooth head set (BackBeat GO2 produced by Platonic) without any problem with my old Macbook under OS 10.6.8.

Disk problem with new Macbook Pro - Diagnosis, anyone?

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a 15" 2.0 Macbook Pro last week, and I've been having some interesting problems. No, not the problems with the heat and the whine - mine seems to be fine on both accounts. Let me explain my story:
So I get my new, shiny Macbook Pro from Fedex, came home and booted it up over my lunch break, set up accounts, etc. and everything seemed to be just dandy. So I went back to work and when I got home that evening, booted it up again. This time, however, it stayed on that first gray screen with the apple logo and the spinning "gear" for 5 minutes! Tried several times, and finally got it to boot, but it took about 6 minutes. But some other things didn't seem right - the "Macintosh HD" icon on the desktop was not a cool little HD icon, it was just a folder. And if I'd eject a CD and put it back in it wouldn't mount the disc.
So I called Apple support.
The guy had me boot to the install CD and run disk utility. This came up with tons of errors - "invalid node" errors were most common. So I reinstalled OSX from scratch and the problems were gone.
Until last night.
I was trying to install the XCode tools, and the installation kept failing, saying "Please try again". So I decided to reboot. And again, I got stuck on the gray screen. Ran Disk Utility, only to have it say it "couldn't repair the disk". Reinstalled OSX, and everything seems fine. Today I'm going to be pretty intense on the HD- doing lots of installing, restarts and reboots to see if the problem shows up.
Now I know there's a problem, but since the computer is actually working now, I'm worried if I take it in to a service center they'll come back saying everything looks fine. So my question is, does this seem like a problem that could be traced to a bad Hard Drive? Maybe some sectors got screwed up, etc. Anyone with some insight would be helpful, so I can make some suggestions when I talk to the service people.
Thanks.

Sounds like your hard drive.
I have the 2.16 MacBook Pro and it was running fine, but around the time I started to try to install BootCamp/Windows XP my SuperDrive failed to recognize CDR's. So I took it in to have the replaced. I got it back and tried BootCamp again only to have WIndows keep getting corrupted somehow. I then switched to Paralells thinking that would work. Everything was fine for a few days and then Windows got corrupted again. I was getting very frustrated. Last night I was erasing the hard drive completely and zeroing it out, and then tried to repair the disk only to find several errors that couldn't be repaired.
SO, I'm off to the Apple Store this morning.
OH, I verified that it was the hard drive (or at least am pretty sure) because I booted off my external hard drive, and got Parallels and Windows XP to run and load flawlessly the first time. All the other times it took several tries to get XP to load properly. I'm typing this running off my external, because when I tried to reload OS X onto the MBP internal drive it ended up having errors.
good luck!

Printing problems using a macbook pro and an hp photosmart 309g printer

I am using a macbook pro with lion 10.7.4. I have been printing on a wireless hp photosmart 309g printer and all of a sudden, on 90% or more of what I try and print, every once in a while a line wil print but the rest is faded or you might say smeared. I have been having it for over a year (the printer) and it has worked just fine with my macbook pro. Could someone please tell me if they have had this problem. It is not my ink, I uninstalled the printer and reinstalled it....... PLEASE HELP ME.

You can try resetting the printing system. Just secondary click below the list of printers in the white space, when you are in print and scan preferences.

D-Link Router Problem with new MacBook Pro

I have had my new MacBook Pro for less than one month and I have had weak home Internet connections ever since. I use a D-Link DI 624 revC wireless router that I bought back in February. I have it connected to a cable modem. I used to have an iBook and the D-Link worked great.
Now the airport signal never shows full strength. The signal is sporatic by showing three bars and then suddenly dropping to one or two. Just loading a web page will cause the signal strength to suddenly drop or lose connection altogether. I used to have full Internet access throughout the house. Now the wireless works only in two rooms.
Tactics that I have tried so far:
-Switched channels from 6 to 1 or 11
-Setting channel switching to auto
-Reset and rebooted
-Restore to factory settings
-Disabling SSID
-Allowing only 802.11g
-Moved the router to a different location
-Checked for possible interference
I know that it is probably my router as my Internet connections seem to fine at other places. I do not know why I would suddenly have these problems with a more powerful notebook.
I am not a network pro so I will be very grateful for any suggestions.

OK ... all those answers add up.
I bought back in February
Have you updated the Firmware in the Router, a new version (2.75) was released 7/5/2006 that says:
¤ Fixed Security Issues.
¤ Improved Performance

Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse problems with new macbook pro.

Got a Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse to use with my recent 2011 macbook pro running 10.6.7. There appear to be several problems with this combination.
1. If the mouse is not moved for a few seconds and I move it, the pointer does not respond immediately, and when it does, the pointer motion stutters and jerks across the screen for a few seconds before it starts moving smoothly. I don't see any spike in CPU usage when this happens.
2. When I shutdown/reboot or sometimes even put the macbook pro to sleep and wake it up, the machine fails to communicate with the mouse, nothing happens even if I reset/restart the mouse or click, scroll or move it around. The only fix is to go to the bluetooth settings and set it up as a new device.
I suspected a hardware problem on either the mouse or the mac, but (a) the mouse works perfectly fine on an older Sony Vaio laptop and (b) the apple wireless keyboard works pretty fine with none of these problems with my macbook. Would getting an apple magic mouse magically solve this problem?
Has anyone else faced this situation, and could it be fixed?

Any wifi connection problems with new Macbook Pro 13" models?

I currently use a 15" Macbook Pro (about 3.5 years old) that has intermittent WiFi connection issues (intermittently loses signal). This seems to have been a very common problem with this laptop model. My kids, who use Macbooks, have no connection problems. In any case, I'd love to buy one of the new model 13-inch Macbook Pro's but hesitate because of my many issues with WiFi connectivity on my older Macbook Pro. Just wondering if anyone is experiencing connectivity problems with the new model?

I've never had Wifi connection problems with a Macbook and now with the 13" MacBook Pro I was flabergasted when I took my MacBook down the street to a coffee house with free WiFi. I went to connect to their WiFi and found my own WiFi connection listed. I thought this odd even though I was on the same block as my apartment, my apartment is six stories up. I connected to the Coffee Shop WiFi but it was really slow so I wondered if I could connect to my own home connection. I switched it over and lo-and behold I did connect! It was a good 300 feet away! I NEVER saw this with previously owned MacBooks including the black MacBook and the MacBook offered just before they moved the MacBook up to the Pro series.
So I'd say they have improved the WiFi nicely.

Dual Display Problem with new MacBook Pro

Hi All,
I just got a new MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo and a 30" Dell LCD Monitor. Both are AWESOME products, BTW. But I am having a weird issue with running both displays.
If I sleep/wake the computer so that I'm never running with dual displays, everything seems fine. However, no matter what I try, I eventually get a system hang if both displays are active at once.
For example, if I turn the MBP off, attach the monitor, and power up, the MBP will get to the login screen. As soon as it hits the logon screen, it hangs.
If I hot-plug the monitor while the system is running, it will detect the new display and activate it as a secondary desktop. But, in anywhere from 5 seconds to 15 minutes (varies each time) the MBP display will turn off and the system hangs.
To me, it seems like a video driver bug or something similar to that?
Thanks!

To those of you that inquired, NO, I have not yet resolved this problem.
I took the laptop into the Apple store, and they decided that it needed a new logic board. Then, once they received the part, and I took the laptop in for repair, they didn't replace the logic board. The guy on the bench reset the PRAM and decided that the problem was resolved. I took it home, and within about 20 minutes the same thing happened.
When I took it back to the store, I was unable to reproduce the problem for the mac Genius.
It still does it, I I just haven't had a chance to take it back to the store to try to reproduce the problem again.

A series of recent problems with new MacBook Pro

Hi,
I bought a new MacBook Pro last May. The spec is:
Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
I installed Yosemite in November (I think) and the Mac has been giving problems ever since. I'm not sure whether the problems are related to this installation, but I did not change anything else prior to the problems starting.
When I boot up my Mac, a message appears: "Finder was not shut down correctly. Reopen all windows from last session?"
This is inaccurate since I shut down the Mac correctly every evening.
Safari used to load pages quickly, but now when I first open it, it takes about a minute to open a page. Once it's running, it takes approximately 10 seconds to load a page. The spinning beachball appears regularly and Safari often quits.
Mail Rules are also operating differently. Whenever I created a new rule, prior to November, the rule would automatically have the name Rule [last rule + 1} i.e. if the last rule I created was Rule 41, the new rule would be called Rule 42. However, now all rules are called Rule 2 (I know that I can change this). This isn't a huge issue, I'm just mentioning it in case it helps to solve the problem.
Another occasional problem that has happened approximately three times is that applications freeze. I can still move the cursor around the screen but I cannot click on anything or take an action within an application.
I would be grateful if you could advise me on this, please.
Many thanks,
F.

Problems with Yosemite macbook pro and airdrop

I have many problems of comunication with my macbook pro my13 and iphone 6 when i used airdrop for sending file from iphone to mac. In the iphone i do not see the mac icon bat in mac i see the iphone. i can send only from mac to iphone .
Thanks a lot

If i had to guess, I would say prosessor stress is to blame. When you are running a virtual machine, it borrows resources from the host to run the guest OS. The CPU, however, is prioritized Host first, then guest second. With a 27" display connected via Display Port. that is a larger strain on the processor. Honestly, on my 23" iMac, I see a WORLD of difference between the speed of the host and the speed of the guest. That is just something you live with on virtual machines, nothing compares to hardware. I'm sorry I dont have a better answer, but that is all I have.
