Reset printers on macbook pro OSX 10.6.8 and cant add printers

Accidently reset printers and now my list in "add printers" is gone.  Hit the + and the next screen doesnt show anything and it will not let you add.  Time machine is not active.  The printer folder is listed in the Library file with all the contents.  How do you get the printer & fax to recognize the printers in the printer folder?
Thanks!

Depends on how the partitons are arranged. If they're exactly as quoted, then yes.
Open Disk Utility and select the partition tab.
In the diagram, the top partition needs to be the one you're booted from, and partition 2 the middle one.
Select Partiton 2 so that it's highlighted, and click the '-' button below the diagram.
Drag the bottom right corner of partition 1 down to meet partition 3.

  • I just updated my macbook pro OSX 10.8.2 and now the speakers won't turn off mute.

    I did the software update, and upon restarting the speaker in the dock is off, and in the system preferences I am not allowed to uncheck the mute.  Using the keyboard buttons doesn't work either.

    I have had the same exact experience. I purchased my MacBook Pro about a month ago and I've been using the wireless Airport ever since with no problems whatsoever. Today I went to use my Mac and the "no airport card installed' message appeared as if I have no airport card.  How can that be?  I'm not sure what could have caused it.  I have updated my mac as often as updates are available and all I can think is that the most recent has interfered.  Any thoughts on what went wrong and how to fix it?
    Thanks!
    P.S.  I have since moved to Nepal and the chat line only asks for US or Canadian phone numbers.  That can't work - what about on - line chats?

  • Macbook Pro OSX 10.7.2 and Oxygen61 Midi Controller Keyboard

    Question 1.  I thought this midi device (M-Audio Oxygen61 USB Midi Controller  was "Plug & Play"?  It does play but none of the keyboard's slides or knobs have any effect on adjusting anything,  I have attempted to "Download the Drivers" from the M-Audio site.  
    I am new to Macs (Former PC user) and don't know if I am doing something wrong, or where to go next?
    Question 2. If you open an iTunes song in garageband and drag it over as a track to play along with, how would I go about transposing (May not be the proper term) the keyboard to match the exact pitch or key of the song being played from the iTune file appearing as a track?  I was able to do this with a PC.  Is garageband capable of this?  Suggestions if not?

    Saw my old post...LOL. I returned the MacBook and bought a PC shortly after this post.

  • My 2011 Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.4 latest update won't connect to secured Wi-fi

    2011 Macbook Pro
    OSX 10.8.4 latest updates
    Suddenly stopped connecting to any wireless network which is secured, WEP/WPA/WPA2/personal/enterprise all do NOT work.
    Connects to unsecured networks just fine.
    For example, our wireless password is:
    123456890!
    I tried with WPA2, no luck.
    Tried with WPA2 and pw 1234567890, no luck.
    Tried with WPA and pw 1234567890!, no luck.
    Tried with WPA and pw 1234567890, no luck.
    Tried WEP with 1234567890, no luck.
    Tried with NO SECURITY on this wi-fi network, connected right away.
    -I did reset PRAM, no luck.
    -I deleted from Keychain, no luck.
    -I added as prefered network and removed, no luck.
    -I added new network location, no luck.
    -I removed the Wi-fi network adapter, rebooted, activated, no luck.
    -In the mac console logs, all I see are "wlEvent: en1 en1 link DOWN" when I try to connect to my secured wireless network (home or my office or even at a neighbors).
    -Wireless diagnostics tell me nothing
    -Console logs do not tell me anything
    -Warranty is expired and no AppleCare
    Seems like a bug to me, even though I have tried with a Netgear, Cisco/Linksys, D-Link router and even tried tethering to a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and iPhone 5, all same problem, says "Connection failed."
    APPLE FRIENDS HELP ME PLEASE!

    For example, our wireless password is: 123456890!
    Well a password that weak will get cracked in about 6 hours on just about any PC in the area.
    Now: LKUY*&T&67NH(*JKÎM<PijriuÎÓyhm8t, that's a real good network password, even a huge botnet would have trouble cracking that. I know because my router was PING flooded by the Flashback botnet and survived.
    After OS X is reinstalled over itself to fix it, you might have to do more as it could be a "in user account" issue with a corrupted preference file, bad users permissions or another cause that's not OS X

  • My HP ENVY 100 D410a is connection issues between MacBook Pro OSX 10.6

    Both my Macbook Pro OSX 10.6  and my HP Envy 100 D410a is connected to my wireless nextwork. Everything was working fine until recently, my macbook does not connect, - keeps saying the printer is offline when it clearly is on and connected. I have tried to reinstall all printer software and drivers from CD and the HP site, it fails when the laptop tries to connect to the printer.
    Any advice / help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Sure.. a reset will surely do it.. a removal of the offending name will also do it.
    Can I delete all networks by resetting the router back to factory settings?
    Sure can.
    I also have this UPDATE "A newer version 5.6.1 of airport utility is available"  it KEEPS opening when I open my Airport Utility APP, but when I click on it to UPDATE nothing happens, ever. Im already running 7.6.3
    Bit of confusion here.
    Latest version of the airport utility for snow leopard is indeed 5.6.1
    Open the airport utility, about .. and check what version you are running.
    The very latest airport utility is 6.3 and only can be installed on Lion or Mountain Lion computers.
    The firmware latest version is 7.6.3
    which makes it all a bit confusing.

  • I'm unable to do a clean install of Firefox 6 on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8.

    I'm unable to do a clean install of Firefox 6 on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8. After trashing the firefox.app from the Applications folder and trashing a related file in the Library folder and then reinstalling, all of my previously opened windows and tabs reappear. And the history and bookmarks are populated too! Then, the computer freezes up so that I must reboot. Because these windows automatically open and the history and bookmarks are populated with my old history and bookmarks, I believe this is not a clean install. Please help.

    Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
    Do a backup,  preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors.  Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

  • MacBook Pro OSX 10.6 drops Wi-Fi connection when idle/asleep.

    My MacBook Pro OSX 10.6 has begun to lose Wi-Fi connection when idle. I can't re-connect unless I shut down computer and re-start. Worse, the system appears to lock up--I can't force quit, must press the power button to shut down. This problem occurs wherever I am using my laptop, not just with one particular Wi-Fi network.

    I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
    iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
    My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
    I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
    My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
    Did you ever find anything more to this?

  • Is there a way to open desktop icons on macbook pro osx with one click

    You might look for third-party software for that, but there is no such option in OS X itself unless you drag the icon into the Dock.

  • How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

    How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

    For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA  audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver.  Use something like this:

  • Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.

    Hi!
    Didn't know exactly where to direct this question in the Apple Community so I chose Airport.  To everyone, thanks in advance.
    I’m really desperate. I’m a big Apple fan.  I have two Apple MacBook Pro laptops with Mountain Lion software.  I also have an Apple Airport Extreme.  My HP Photosmart C4780 printer was also purchased from Apple.  Anyway, my Internet service is AT&T.  AT&T just upgraded my service with a new modem/router (AT&T U-Verse).  Prior to the conversion, my wireless printer connection was working perfectly.
    Now can’t print wirelessly. For your information, everything is connected via Wi-Fi. The AT&T technician stated that I no longer needed my Apple Airport Extreme, so it was removed.  Naturally, after the tech leaves, we find out the HP printer wirelessly no longer works.  Thinking that removing Airport Extreme may have been the problem, I reconnected it to the AT&T modem/router, however no change.
    This appears to be an HP printer problem.  I went to HP community support with the information below but I have received no solutions outside of buying a new printer.
    “Ran the HP wireless network test report and it states that HP printer can’t find wireless router and to verify that the HP printer network name (SSID) matches the wireless router network name (SSID) exactly.  The Diagnostic Summary in brief:  Wireless On & Working & Security – Pass; Network Name (SSID) Found – Fail. Nothing else under diagnostic summary ran.  Under Configuration Summary:  It shows old SSID name and Mac Hardware Address but no IP Address.
    Next ran the Network Configuration Page and everything is enabled except the 802.11 Wireless.  It shows status – disconnected.  Under general information it states the following: Network status  - Offline; Active Connection Type - None; URL(s) for Embedded Web Server – http://0.0.0.0.”
    To be straightforward, I’m no computer tech so I don’t know what this means or where to find.  The AT&T tech provided me the new SSID Name and a wireless key number but that’s it. Also I uninstalled and reinstalled via USB. The HP message states can’t find router. At this point, I’ve tried everything to reconfigure without success. If I need to make these changes via Airport Extreme Utility 6.0 not easy to find not that I know what I’m doing.
    Most importantly if I ever get wireless working again, do I still need Airport Extreme connection or is the AT&T U-Verse modem/router sufficient?
    Any direction or help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you for listening.

    Thank you for your prompt response.  I'll be honest I'm a retiree and a newbie to all of this stuff. I don't even know how to do a thread. (Embarassing) This is my first ever contact with the Apple Community so I'm slowly trying to figure this out as well. 
    As to your thread request, I'm assuming you want to read my post with HP.  Not knowing how to thread, I've copied it below.

    Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX  10.8.2 Mountain Lion.              
    I finally figured it out! (Sorry that I'm replying to my own posts btw, but I want to post the solution for anybody else with the SigmaplusEOL1 problem). If you have the SigmaplusEOL1 as your SSID when you  print the "Wireless Network Test Report", you do NOT need to return it (I know that's hassle for people).  To fix the problem, follow these steps.
    1) Unplug your printer.
    2) Go to your router's IP address (like 192.168.1.1 or whatever it is for your router).
    3) Change the SSID of your wirelss network to "SigmaplusEOL1".
    4) For the Security option for your wireless network select none (so that a password is not required to access your wireless network).
    5) Power your printer back on and reprint "Wireless Network Test Repor". It should say "No problem found..."
    6) The report should also have a the IP Address of the printer (under Configuration Summary at the bottom). Type that IP Address in your browser to get to the printer's settings page.
    7) Click the "Network" Tab at the top.
    8) Under the "Connections" header in the left pane, click "Wireless (802.11).
    9) Click "Start Wizard" at the bottom right.
    10) In the wizard, change the SSID and encryption (wep or wpsk) password to whatever you want your wireless network to be. So probably whatever it started out as before you changed the SSID to SigmaplusEOL1
    11) Click "Finish" at the end. The page will probably try to keep loading but it won't because you changed the network settings of the printer. Just ignore that
    12) Go back to your router's IP address and change the SSID and encryption password to whatever you changed the printer's SSID and password to.
    13). Reprint the Wireless Network Test Report. It should say the SSID is the same as your wireless, and everything is good.
    That's it. You should be good to go now.
    Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX  10.8.2 Mountain Lion.              
    Thank you for your prompt response.  This has been a totally frustrating experience.  I’ve spent at least 8 hours trying to fix this.  My HP problems and your initial steps were identical to mine.  I am by no means a tech person and my computer tech knowledge is minimal.  However I followed your steps to the best of my ability.
    I did get the SigmaplusEOL1 message.  I was able to get to Step 6 where the wireless network test report now reads – “HP printer settings do not match your wireless router settings.”  So I guess this is a step in the right direction.  However unfortunately the Configuration summary message for the IP Address reads – “Not Applicable”.  (Note: changing SigmaplusEOL1 to network name knocked out my Internet access.  Had to switch back to regular network name to regain access.)
    I’m at a loss as to what to do next.   Without the IP Address is it possible to move forward?  As I stated earlier, I’m not a tech person.  As to your steps 7, 8 and 9, I can’t find them on my computer or maybe I’m looking in the wrong places.  In System Preferences - Network, I have none of these steps.  If you’re referring to Airport Utility, with the changes in Mountain Lion, these steps are no longer there. If you’re talking about Safari, Firefox or HP, now I’m really lost.
    Finally, I don’t know if you can answer this or not.  If I ever get wireless working, do I still need Airport Extreme or is the AT&T U-Verse modem/router sufficient?
    Again thank you for your time and patience.
    Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX  10.8.2 Mountain Lion.                  
    Unfortunately I am unable to offer any further advice as I only followed the instructions listed on the other page.
    Finally, as to having WEP enabled, I don't know.  Don't even know where to look.  The best that I could determine is that my security is WPA/WPA2 Personal.
    I'm truly sorry about all of this.  Thank you for your time and patience.  After reading all of this and you change your mind, I would understand.

  • Can I run a factory reset on my MacBook Pro and later reinstall my purchased apps, or will I have to pay for them again?

    My MacBook Pro is a work computer, and my company may need to run a factory reset on it. I don't have much faith in their abilities to save any of my info, so I am backing all my photos and videos up on an external hard drive, but I am concerned I will lose my purchased apps in the process. 
    Is there any way I can get those back later if I need to?  There's a lot of purchased apps on my MacBook Pro.
    Thanks!

    Like posted above if you purchased them from the Mac App store all you have to do is Login to the MAS with the same Apple ID used to buy them and they will be available for Re-Download and install.
    If you purchased some of them from the developers website then the developer might of sent you a registration code in an email. Find those and make a Text Document out of them and then Print that text Doc and save it to that external for safe keeping.
    You can then go back to the developer website and re-download their program and install it using that key/reg code to authorize it.

    See this knowledge base article. Also, you might want to update to 10.6.8 (don't know that that will fix your problem, but it's the latest version of Snow Leopard).
