Problems with 10.3.9 operating system after upgrades

I recently downloaded a system update and am having problems.
I can no longer print. Printer error.
Also, I tried to download an HP Laserjet 5000 driver to see if that would fix it, and I couldn't install, as I tried to install with my system password and it said I need an Adminstrator level or higher to install???
Any help please.

Powerbook 17   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

My Dad (age 86) has encountered what I am almost positive
is this precise problem. He downloaded some kind of
security patch around Jan 26 and all his (3) printers
got disabled. He is running MacOS 10.3.9 on a PPC
Mac. I've been through the article on creating
/var/spool/cups with him. We've done "Repair
Disk Permissions" in Disk Utility. It still doesn't
work. When he does "Add Printer", he gets all the
way through to the step of manually selecting the
Printer Description and then he gets
server-error-service-unavailable
Is there a way to get the equivalent of the Tiger
feature "Reset printing system" in Printer Setup
on 10.3.9? I think that's what he needs to do.
Are the steps documented anywhere?
Or does anyone have other suggestions? I thought
about running "Repair Disk" in Disk Utility, but
my conclusion from reading the documentation is
that this is morally equivalent to "fsck" in
regular Unix. That is, it only checks the
structural integrity of the file system itself.
It has no idea of the files required by a particular
subsystem.
The only other thing I can think of to do is to
reinstall 10.3.

Paul

  • Is every one having a problem with the new ios7 operating system?

    The new operating system has made everything operate at a snail' space. Any one else having problems?

    No, it's working very well on both my iPad and my iPhone. Have you tried doing a reset? Press the sleep/wake button and the home button together until the Apple logo appears on the screen, usually takes about 5-10 secs, then release the buttons and allow the iPad to finish rebooting.
    See if it's still slow after this.

  • [K8N NEO3-F] Problem with USB keyboard and PS2 mouse after upgrading BIOS

    Hello everyone!
    I have upgraded BIOS from 1.1 to 1.4... I have Sempron 2600 (64bit) so BIOS v.1.1 did not recognise it.
    The motherboard works, but after upgrading I have a small problem with my keyboard and mouse.
    When I use USB keyboard my PS2 mouse doesn't work. When I connect PS2 keyboard mouse works!!!
    Can you tell me what's wrong?                   
    Thanks, bartull@           
    PS. Does BIOS v.1.3 recognise Sempron 64bit? Can you give me a link to it?

    I think that the problem may have been caused by flashing either with liveupdate or with winflash.  I had the problem when i used winflash correctly (shutting down all programs, checking all the boxes to clear bootblock and cmos) but had usb keyboard connected during flash.  My suggestion is to reflash with floppy to last bios version that worked using only ps2 mouse and keyboard with the following instructions:
    DOS floppy flash shall be performed with :
    awfl833d.exe w7030nms.180 /py /sn /wb /cc /cd /cp /f /e
    (Replace biosfilename with appropriate version for Neo1/neo2 etc , switches remain the same )
    After flash is complete :
    TURN OFF PSU (don't restart) wait 15 seconds
    Turn on again , press the power button .
    Enter BIOS and load optimized defaults (NO OTHER CHANGES) , save + exit
    Boot the system again with the floppy in the drive to let the DMI pool build and update itself .
    If that works, then reflash to the bios you tried before with the same procedure.  Once you have stable system with ps2 keyboard and mouse working, re-enter bios and enable usb and keyboard support as a lot of bios' have it disabled by default for some strange reason.
    Good luck.

  • Problems with Hotspot, EDGE, and 3G internet after upgraded to iOS 4.3

    I just upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS version 4.3 , but after I installed it, the Personal Hotspot badge on Settings>General>Network appears, but it keeps at the "loading circle" sign (the same one when the iPhone is turning off). Besides that I realized that my 3G internet is not working, neither EDGE. none of the 3G or EDGE icons appears next to my carrier bundle, how it usually do. Wifi is working though. I tried to solve the problem restoring the iPhone, but the problem persisted even after the restore. What's happening to my iPhone 3GS?

    Hi man!
    have the same equipment and the same problem, who is your mobile operator?
    I'm from Chile and my operator is Movistar, I think they blocked the service hotspots.
    Best regards

  • Problem with home button and "messages" app after upgrade to iOS 4.1

    Hello,
    I have noticed two interesting problems with my iPhone 4. I am not sure if it is in conjunction with the upgrade to the iOS 4.1 software, but I did not notice the problem prior to this. Both of these problems are very odd and are hit or miss. I have tried restoring and the problem is still present. Also, since both problems have presented at the same time, that is why I am starting to believe it is not hardware...
    Problem 1: The home button has become considerably unresponsive. This is not all the time, but it does happen a lot. Sometimes it won't work for about 5-8 clicks and I have to use the power button to access the phone.
    Problem 2: When composing a new text message the cursor would always default into the "To:" section of the app which allows you to easily type what contact you are trying to message. However, I am having the issue now occasionally when I am in the messages app and select to compose a new text message that the cursor now defaults into the chat box (where you type your actual message). This is very annoying and I know that this is not the intended behavior of this.
    Please let me know if anyone has experienced similar issues and can provide me with some feedback.

    I have not experienced the same.
    I have tried restoring and the problem is still present.
    You restored from your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup?
    If whatever software problem is causing this is included with your iPhone's backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem.
    Try restoring as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup to see if this makes any difference. If not, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • Problem with FusionFX template in IE/Chrome after upgrade to 11.1.1.6.2

    Hi,
    just a quick check to see if anyone else have experienced the same error after upgrading OBIEE to version 11.1.1.6.2.
    All dashboards using the "FusionFX" is now missing two images at the top left of the screen (under the tab title heading) in run time view.
    The html code generated is:
    <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" class="HeaderSecondBar HeaderSecondBarPadding" role="presentation">...</table>
    <div class="HeaderDiv">
      <img src="Missing_dbd_center_gradient.png" alt class="HeaderBackground">
      <img src="Missing_header_topshadow.png" alt class="HeaderTopShadow">
    </div>The 2 png-files are shown as missing images in both Internet Explorer 9 and Chrome, but no error in Firefox - everything fine there!
    Checking the server directory \Oracle\product\middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\app\res\sk_FusionFX\b_mozilla_4\
    shows that there indeed are two png-files named dbd_center_gradient.png and header_topshadow.png.
    Have anyone seen this?
    Even better; is there a simple way to fix it?
    Our company intranet is based on Internet Explorer 9, so Firefox is no solution unfortunately.
    Regards,
    -Haakon-

    Just upgraded to 11.1.1.6.5 - and this problem is STILL NOT addressed by Oracle....
    I realize they don't have much love for Microsoft nor Google, but it would be wise to consider their customers trying to use their tools on other platforms than *nix and Mozilla...
    Sorry, just needed to let out some steam after downloading and patching for most of the day....

  • Problem with USER as default on column after upgrade to 10.2

    Greetings,
    We recently upgraded to 10.2 from 10.1, running on microsoft 32 bit (Windows 2003).
    We have been using the same DB structure since Oracle 7.x and have not had a problem using USER as a default on a varchar2(30) column until now. The column value is being left NULL.
    If I set the default to rtrim(USER) then the column is correctly filled with the logged in user.
    If I create a new table with the same size column and set USER as the default it works correctly.
    If I set it in the before trigger it works.
    If I set the value of the column to USER in the insert it does NOT work, it leaves it NULL.
    I have looked at user_tab_columns between the column not working and the newly created table that is working and see no difference.
    Can anyone give me some suggestions on what else to look for? It feels like a problem with having brought the tables over from a previous version of Oracle.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Does anybody has problem with playing youtube in Opera Mini after iOS6 update?

    After iOS6 update I can not play youtube from Opera Mini,- neither link to youtube works and embedded video as well. It works ok with Safari, but I prefer using Opera Mini instead. If there is a embedded youtube video or just a link to m.youtube, Opera mini does nothing:(

    Cool, in OperaMini forum, there is an answer, that issue has been noticed and will be solved someday!

  • Pop Up Problems with all browsers and operating systems

    I have a website that uses pop up windows in several areas.
    They have worked fine for over two years. All of a sudden none of
    my popups work. I tested on both a mac and a pc and on firefox,
    explorer and safari. Pop up blocker has nothing to do with this
    problem. I'm completely dumbfounded.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Good grief - all one line.... That's why it's not working.

  • Problems with accessing collections in 3.0 after upgrade

    Hello ApEx Team,
    I noticed that my demo on apex.oracle.com related to the XML charts doesn't work properly
    any more. The chart is there but no values are showing up. The problem has something to
    do with accessing collections - it seems no data is found by the procedure looping through
    the generated values. Since the chart values get rendered by executing the package
    procedure through the browser, and not from the user session, I was using the
    following code to get access to the collections:
          HTMLDB_CUSTOM_AUTH.define_user_session (app_user_in, session_id_in);
          HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_flow_id := app_id_in;
          HTMLDB_CUSTOM_AUTH.post_login (app_user_in,
                                         session_id_in,
                                         app_id_in || ':' || page_id_in
                                        );Now, it seems this part doesn't work and it did in all previous versions. The collection
    is there. I checked that. How do I go arrond this problem?
    The (not working) demo can be found here:
    http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:74
    Denes Kubicek

    Joel,
    Thanks for responding. You confirmed what I previously stated. The following worked and
    works for all versions before 3.0:
    BEGIN
       HTMLDB_CUSTOM_AUTH.define_user_session (:app_user_in, :session_id_in);
       HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_flow_id := :app_id_in;
       HTMLDB_CUSTOM_AUTH.post_login (:app_user_in,
                                      :session_id_in,
                                      :app_id_in || ':' || :page_id_in
       FOR c IN (SELECT c001, c002
                   FROM htmldb_collections
                  WHERE collection_name = :coll_name_in)
       LOOP
          htp.p(c.c001 || ', ' || c.c002);
       END LOOP;
    END;For 3.0 it doesn't return collection values. Selecting from collection will return
    ORA-01403: no data found. This means that something must have changed. Please
    correct me if I'm wrong.
    A question: is this the right way to access collections from a background process?
    If not (it obviously isn't the right way for 3.0), then what is the right way?
    I could create a package collection instead of using apex_collections. But I think it is not
    neccessary and we should find a way to avoid it if possible.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Problems with HTML in dynamic reports template after upgrade to 3.1

    Hi, we just upgraded from APEX 2 to 3.1. W ehave an application that has a report template as follows:
    <img src="&P1_LOGO." border="0" alt="Home" />
    <div>
    <table align="LEFT">
    <tr>
    <td align="LEFT" width=500><font size="-2"><P>&P1_FROM_ADDRESS.</P></td>
    <td align="LEFT" width=175><font size="-2"><P>&P1_REMIT_TO.</P></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    <BR></BR>
    #BOX_BODY#
    The item P1_REMIT_TO is set to an address using a PL/SQL computation. It has HTML tags such as <B> and <BR> in it. In 2.0 this displayed fine. In 3.1 it does not interpret the HTML tags, so it sshows up with the HTML tags in the text.
    Any idea what may have changed and how to fix this?

    Tor,
    You're in Tampa huh? Are you a member of the SOUG?
    Issues like browser alignment are always easiest to figure out with an example. Post an example app on apex.oracle.com and provide some developer credentials with which we can get in "under the hood".

  • Is anyone having trouble with the "home" button not responding after upgrading to 5.1.1 OS?

    Is anyone having problems with the "home" button not responding after upgrading to 5.1.1?

    You will not belive how I accidently solved this - !!!
    Yes I had the problem immediately after the 5.1.1 'cloud' upgrade, the problems started (on my iphone 4) ... I followed the 'get power down button, then hold HOME for 30 secs' solution, but no result, nothing seemed to work and I was starting to get a bit agressive with the keep it pushed, multiple double click frustrations, icopybot multigesture solutions etc. and paid money ... but this comedy solution now works ...
    I discovered it because I ordered a waterproof case for my iphone for my motorcycle ... I've just fitted it to my iphone and all the problems have gone ??? what! ... so wondering why I looked at what the home button on the casing was doing - it was pressing ACROSS the home button i.e. it converted my finger point into a wider 'PRESS
    so taking the new case off, instead of using the point of my thumb to press HOME, I used the flat of my thumb to emulate it ....and initially nothing, so I wondered if it wa making better 'cross button' contacts, so I licked my thumb, wiped it and then tried again! - it worked!
    I can't explain it but it seems to work - try it! if the double click on HOME doesn't work lick your thumb dry it and try again! I've just done it again
    what a mad techno world we live in! :-)

  • Problem with fibre channel card and raid system after upgrading to 10.4.7

    Hello, I have a problem with our Xserve G4 DP. After the installation of 10.4.7 everything works fine exept our fibre channel card. This card is connected to a Hitachi Raid System which worked fine over a year. But after the update the volume was no longer mounted. I even reinstalled the server to 10.4.4 and no sign of our raid volume. Using the apple fibre channel utiltiy 2.0, I see that there is a connection - but still the raid volume is not mounted. When I restart the server the lights on the back of the card are shortly flickering and sending some packets to the raid system but that´s all. Has anybody an idea?
