Problem with networking HP Laserjet 1100 with Leopard with new Intel iMac

I have an HP Laserjet 1100 that I have used with my old iMac running Panther. I had used the HPIJS drivers in the past with the HP Laserjet 5 driver selected. It worked flawlessly. I use IPP to connect to the printer via a printer server.
I have purchased a new iMac which is Intel based and runs Leopard. I am having a lot of trouble getting this printer to work with it. I went to the website referenced above and installed Ghostscript, Foomatic RIP and then finally HPIJS. As I add the printer, it gave me the option to select an HP Laserjet 1100 printer (from the HPIJS set). When I add the IP address, it says it is valid. When I try to print, there is no response; the job just times out. I had the same problem with the Gutenprint driver that was installed with Leopard.
Finally, I tried the HP Laserjet 6 from the HPIJS driver set. It had the word "recommended" next to it which was intriguing. It too did not work.
I would appreciate any help.

I'm afraid that Ghostscript, etc. are PPC only applications and any printer plug-ins they install will not work on an Intel Mac. You should uninstall all the third-party stuff you've installed for the printer, then only use the included printer driver installed by OS X unless HP has a universal binary driver compatible with OS X and Intel Macs. You might try using LPD rather than IPP for the printer.

Printing problem with new Intel iMac and Indesign CS3

Hi there,
this might not be the right place to ask for, but has anybody here experienced printing problems in Indesign CS3 with Tiger?
I just installed the software and tried to print out of Indesign, but nothing. I can see on the panel that data is beeing received but no printing action. And this is just out of the new Indesing CS3.
Any suggestions?
Best
Rolf

Our office is printing fine from ID & PS CS3. This is from Intel & PPC Mac's running 10.4.9.
What is your printer and how is it configured for printing, ie USB or IP.
Also, have a look at the cups error log. You can find this via System Profiler > Software > Logs. This will show which process is failing for the spooled job. You can post it back here for more help.

Before I buy has there been any problems with new 27 iMacs?

Before I spend my hard earned cash does anyone know if there has been any problems with new 27 iMacs?

Hello richard from Folsom:
Are you inside or outside? ( I could not resist, I lived in Sactown).
Anyway, advice is frequently worth what you pay for it, and mine is free.
If you want it, buy it. The posts above are right on the mark (except waiting is probably overly-cautious). The best advice (from anamusic) is to buy the extended warranty - well worth the money.

Massive problem with new Wirless iMac keyboards

Does anyone else have a problem with the new differentiation between wired and wireless keyboard? I assumed they would be the same, but have just seen that the bluetooth keyboards do not have a number pad on them.
For the way I use a computer I prefer wireless keyboards, but I am a composer and use Sibelius nearly every day, which is the main software for the music publication industry. This program NEEDS the number pad to function, which completely rules out the new wireless keyboards. So, if I get a new iMac, I will buy the wired keyboard, throw it in the bin, and then use the older white bluetooth keyboard from my iMac G5. This is a really poorly thought out design decision that did not work when they made those horrible small keyboards for the original CRT iMac, and are mostly unusable for Pro users for a variety of reasons.

yea- the new wireless keyboard, being as perfect as it is, has one con, and thats not having the 10 key option. Ten key is a needed thing, but as stated before, the wireless keyboard was tested by folks who really wanted a smaller more compact like keyboard to move around more easier, and I guess apple took out the 10 key to give it more room, however, there is a need for the 10 key, however, I dont think apple saw that much of the interest or the need. I think it works in logic, but again, its the "small things" that get this new design in some trouble.

Multiple problems with new retina iMac. Suspect graphics driver

New retina IMac, top spec, with latest Yosemite, and additional Cinema Display attached. Having multiple problems which I suspect are being caused by the graphics driver:
The long running issue with Adobe PS whereby under certain size options the tools cursor disappears and just has the arrow cursor.
With no warning, after doing an action such as opening an application the system reverts immediately to the login screen and does not show me as logged in.
After switching users, a blank screen other than the cursor is shown. Seems I have to power off to get past this one.
Can anybody shed any light on any of these, at least so that I can discount my theory of a single culprit?

So I went onto the Adobe forums and found a number of threads on this subject. A staff member replied with the following:
It's a video card driver bug introduced in MacOS 10.10 (which looks a lot like an old bug they fixed in 10.9).
Apple is aware of this, and the other video driver issues in 10.10, and working on solutions.
So thanks to Adobe we now know.

Game problem with new 17" iMac (got it 3 days ago)

This has happened about 6 times now while playing the starcraft on my new 17" iMac computer. While playing all of a sudden the game will crash and give me a error message which says that due to a unknown error the application starcraft has been forced to close...I just bought this computer because I heard they are more reliable then PC's but what is going on, I really don't know where to post this question but the game requires the cd-rom to be in the drive to play it so I don't know if it is a cd-rom problem or problem with the actual computer...please help me out here.
System information:
Hard Drive - 500gb
Ram - 2 gb
Processor - dual core 2.16
CD Drive - Superdrive
if you need to know anything else just let me now.
17" iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Theorectically, it should run as long as it has been patched.
From Blizzard's support site:
At this time we have not announced plans to release a Universal Application update for our older titles to natively support Intel Macs. All existing titles that natively support Mac OS X (including StarCraft) will run on Intel-based Macs via the Rosetta binary translator included with Mac OS X.
StarCraft will require the Mac OS X Native Installer to install and play the game on an Intel-based Macintosh computer. Recent shipments of StarCraft include a Mac OS X Native Installer on the installation disc. However, players without a Native Installer on their installation disc may need to download the installer from our Patch Installation web page.
At this time there is no Carbon version of the StarEdit (StarCraft Campaign Editor) application, and there are currently no plans to create one. StarEdit will not run on an Intel-based Mac as a result since the Classic environment is not supported under Mac OS X.
StarCraft patches (including the game and Mac OS X native one) can be found here:
http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=msc0411p
There are also special instructions available there. I don't play StarCraft so I can't guarantee success but this is your best bet for now. Good luck.

Two problems with new Intel mini

Got me a new Intel Core solo mini a week ago - using it as a media center / fileserver. To that end I have disabled the screensaver (set to 'never') and all other energysavers (also set to 'never'). After some time, the screensaver does start however, which is really annoying as the remote doesn't work well when the screensaver is active. Any ideas why this might be, or more importantly, how I can make sure the screensaver doesn't kick in?
Another thing: OOTB the mini doensn't display the grey startup screen but only the text-mode Unix prompts. Same on shutdown. It works fine, no problems there, but still... I'd like the complete Apple experience. Is there a setting that can be changed to get the cuddly, not-so-frightening grey Apple screen instead of the intimidating Unix messages?
MacBook Pro / Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello,
For the screen-saver, go into your settings and make sure that "Hot Corners" are not enabled. And, double-check that the "Never" setting was retained for the screen-saver.
As for the text at startup and shut-down, that is "Verbose" mode.
Go in to Terminal (the command line) by going to:
Applications --> Utilities --> Terminal
at the command line, type in the following exactly as it appears:
sudo /usr/sbin/nvram boot-args=""
Then, close terminal, and restart.
Verbose mode is simply a mode that shows you everything that is happening as you start-up. This is useful for figuring out where a system is locking-up during startup, etc.
To see verbose mode, you can also hold down the Command (Apple Key) and the letter "V" while starting up.
Or, you could go into the Terminal again, and type in the following:
sudo /usr/sbin/nvram boot-args="-v"
hope this fixes it for you.
Let me know how it works out.
I hope this helps.

WoW Freezing with new intel iMac

Posted this in the wrong forum so re-posting here.
I play World of Warcraft and I recently upgraded to a new 17" iMac. Here are the specs -
17" iMac Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz
2GB RAM (Apple installed)
ATI Radeon X1600 128 VRAM
Mac OS 10.4.9
Now I used to have a 17" intel mac 1.8GHz model and it NEVER had any problems playing WoW but this new machine will constanly freeze solid at random times while I'm playing. I cannot switch to another window, bring up the dock, or anything else. I have to hold in the power button to shut it down.
I ran Apple Hardware Test extended and it found no problems. The RAM is stock Apple ram. I dont have any 3rd party peripherals connected. I reinstalled WoW and even archive installed to 10.4.8. Disk utility reports no problems.
So after trying all of this I broke down and purchased WinXP and installed it via bootcamp and I've been able to play WoW with ZERO lockups while booted to WinXP. There was one single time where the game kicked me back to the desktop and I got the following error message "VPU Recover has reset your graphics accelerator or it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands". WoW was still active and on my taskbar and I was able to click it and continue playing without any problems.
I've been back and forth with WoW tech support and they claim that its probably an issue with the video card. The only time I have problems is when I'm playing WoW. Everything else works fine.
Is there anyone out there that can help me narrow down the issue? I installed the developer tools and I'm willing to try Shark and Spin Control to help diagnose this problem I just need a little guidance.
The lockups are random and as far as I can tell when it happens the sound continues on as normal. All of my graphics freeze but my mouse cursor still works. If I'm playing in windowed mode the cursor still works but I am unable to click WoW or any other windows or the dock. Force quit menu does not come up.
Help!

While I don't have an answer for your specific problem, I can say I have the same video card and WoW runs very well here without any problems (less RAM, too). I'm finding it hard to believe it's the video card when you say your XP install runs without glitches.
I'm curious if you've tried playing other 3D games on OS X without experiencing similar problems. Warcraft 3, Unreal Tournament 2004, anything.

No fan noise with new intel iMac?

My daughter's iMac G5 sounds quite loud when the fans kick in,but I haven't heard my intel iMac fans even come on. The loudest noise the thing makes is the hard drive writing occasionally. Is there any way to make sure the fans are working?
iMac 17 Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Did as you suggested and still cannot hear any fans. My first G5 unit was the same way till the logic board fried and was replaced. Now it sounds like a jet engine every time it starts to work hard. I hope this one doesn't turn out the same way. My first unit is in the shop right now for it's second logic board and a new power supply.

Printing problems with HP laserJet 1320 and new Intel iMac

My new Intel iMac won't print to my HP 1320 from Eudora or from web browsers. The applications "quit unexpectedly". From Safari, nothing happens.
I can print PDF documents and Office documents with no problems. The Intel is connected to a router via Airport. The printer is connected to the router via Ethernet. My old G4 iMac prints fine (connected to router via Ethernet) as does my G4 laptop (connected via Airport).

A post from another threat that might help.
From Payson
Solution!!!
Just spent 90 minutes with some nice folks in level 1 and level 2 support.
Problem seems to be that I used migration utility to import the soul of my old machine into the new machine. When you do that, you bring along the old print system (PPC vs Intel).
I had upgraded to 10.4.5 after the migration and assumed that it would correct any problem like that, but it had not.
After a great deal of trial and error, the solution was to go to move disk/library/printers to the desktop and restart the system
Then use the the install disk 1 that came with the iMac and use the OPTIONAL INSTALLS package to reinstall the printer drivers.
Worked like a champ.
Suspect similar problem might happen for any of you with I/O drivers.

Wifi problems with new ipad

I'm trying to learn how to correct wifi problems with new iPad. It is the wifi only, 64GB model. I want to be able to use it at work, where we have a great wifi network. I can usually connect to our network with no problem, but after an hour or so my iPad loses the network. When I try to reconnect, I see that the network is showing full strength reception, but I get the error message from the iPad that I am "Unable to join" the network. My iPhone connects to the same network seamlessly, as do all of the other iPhones of my co-workers and the older generation iPads that some of our staff has.
At other locations, I typically have no problems (home, apple store, etc.) but I have had the same situation pop up at a coffee shop where I could see that there was a wifi network available, but I could not join it even though it was the shop's free wifi.
I have tried turning the iPad off, turning off wifi and turning it back on again, and forgetting the wifi network in question. I can't think of any other methods that are available to an end user to correct the problem.
I have already gone to the Apple store to swap out the unit, and the newer one is having the same symptoms.
Can anyone offer any advice here? This is quite frustrating.

No problem! Have a read at this most interesting article which has special significance as regards your models!

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "

Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "
i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

Hi There
Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
Solution to working You Tube app:
-Go to playstore
- Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
- "Et Voila", working again.
This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
Hope it helped.
Best Regards

List of Problems with new Web Mail

List of Problems with NEW Web Mail :
- At first doesn't open full page message list or retain full page as default setting, have to drag down bar
- Only shows 20 message lines after “pulling down” the divider, screen partially empty until I scroll down. It should show at least 26, preferably all available
- After moving bar, bar moves back up after going back to inbox (not delete message) after reading a message, have to move it down again, and again...
- Doesn't go to next message when delete message on screen is selected, no setting option for default to do this.
- There is a drop down to select which folder to move a selected email to. The initial display shows 7 usable choices, with the usual slider and arrow to show more choices. The space on the slider clearly shows more choices are present (actually about 20 or so are there), but any attempt to use the slider or arrow to see more choices causes the drop-down to instantly disappear. I can't move the selected field with arrow keys either. I can select any of the visible 7 choices, and move an email to only one of the 7. NOTE: This one works in both IE and Firefox, but if Verizon Webmail was fully web standard (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_standards) compliant it would also work in my preferred browser, Mozilla Seamonkey, the direct descendant of the original Mozilla browser. Webmail should be FULLY web standard.
- Occasionally a message will move from inbox to trash, without NO indication or command to move them.
- Emails occasionally flash an error message and simply disappear - not to trash or other findable place, just disappear. No time to read the error message either.
- No way to set a whitelist for supposed spam emails, unless the whitelist for “Blocking” is the same. Very unclear.
- How can I switch my service back to the original, basic, email which works ok? I know it’s still there, since some of my other accounts still access it!!!
This seems my only way of getting this info direclty to the programming staff. If it doesn't actually do this, will SOMEONE PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO THEM !?!
Thanks!

Contrarily, it is Verizon's, as well as other companies like Verizon whose customer base uses a wide variety of web browsers, web page designers' responsibility to use only standard W3C-recognized code and not to use non-standard non-W3C-recognized code, e.g., Microsoft's Internet Explorer specific code, when designing their web pages. In my opinion based on my observations, Verizon's web page designers are too often guilty of using IE-specific code.
