Samsung ML-1710 and 10.4.8

I installed the driver from Samsung Australia, but when the printer doesn't show up in Printer Setup. In fact, the alleged USB menu (according to Samsung Australia's website) doesn't show up. My Epson printer connects fine to the USB port. Any clues?

Well, just fixed my own problem. In despair, I tried a few hints found in other threads.
I ran the trial version of Printer Setup Repair 5.0.5 (Tiger Edition) downloaded from http://fixamacsoftware.com/software/psr5/ (thanks PAHU!), then turned my printer off and back on, and there you go. The printer once again showed up in the printer list and all is well.
So, not sure if it was the permissions issue or the on/off that fixed the problem, but thought I'd share it back with you.
Cheers,
Dan

Unsupported Printer (Samsung ML-1710, ML-1430)

How do I get my printers to work on my MacBook? I have a Samsung ML-1710 and Samsung ML-1430. Samsung doesn't have drivers for the intel macs.
Would gimp-print or guten-print do the job? I'm not sure if they're universal binary yet.

You can find an open source printer driver for both by going here and looking up each printer Printer Database, then read the notes and download the driver and install it.
It looks like you also need to download the Samsung Drivers package(which doesn't include the drivers for your printer), because it has other things in it which the drivers depend on to work properly.
Do that, follow the directions and with any luck you should be able to use those two printers. Printer drivers are not executable code, they're just ASCII text commands, so they aren't PPC or Intel-specific.
Hope this helps,
Mulder

Can no longer print to Samsung ML-1710 (since 10.4.6)

Simply put, my Samsung ML-1710 no longer appears as an available USB printer in the list. It's essentially as though it does not exist.
The issue has come up since I updated my machine to 10.4.6
(2006-05-16 19:38:20 -0400: Installed "Security Update 2006-003 (PowerPC)" (1.0))
I've tried reinstalling the "Samsung SPL2" pack, with nothing to show for it.
Any thoughts?

Printing not working - 10.4.10 to Samsung ML-1710 (USB)

Sometime around my upgrade to OS 10.4.10, printing broke to my normally reliable Samsung ML-1710, connected via USB to my Mac Pro.
What happens now is that if I go into Printer Setup Utility, the ML-1710 shows up in the list, but when I click Add, I get a strange error: "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. service-error-service unavailable."
I've tried all the usual troubleshooting things: repairing permissions, running OnyX to flush all caches, reinstalling Samsung's drivers, rebooting, powering the printer up and down, etc. The printer is seen normally by System Profiler, but Printer Setup Utility refuses to add it.
I should admit that I've installed several aftermarket printer-related utilities in an effort to get this to work: Gimp-Print, CUPS, GutenPrint, ESP, etc. Latest version of each of these. None of them help. But I also don't know how to uninstall each of them. I have no idea if this might be confusing the Mac, and no idea how to get the Mac back to its default state so I can simply print via USB again.
Any tips? (Desperate!)
P.S. One other related (?) thing I should mention that in System Prefs > Sharing, Printer Sharing is switched on. But when I click it, nothing happens -- I can't switch it off. I don't know how to force it off, and don't know if it might have anything to do with the failure to be able to add the Samsung as a valid printer.

If you updated CUPS to one of the publicly released new versions then you may very well find printing no longer works. I had the same problem when I did a CUPS update. Unfortunately, simply reinstalling the version provided with OS X wasn't possible because that version wasn't available for downloading.
So, the 'bad' news is you should reinstall OS X. You can avoid erasing the drive by doing an Archive and Install:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

I have a Samsung HD TV and I purchased a Mini Display port to HDMI Adapter today. For some strange reason I get no display on my HD tv. I even tried switching a few HDMI cables and nothing popped up. I made sure my computer was updated. Help pls

I have a Samsung HD TV and I purchased a Mini Display port to HDMI Adapter today. For some strange reason I get no display on my HD tv. I even tried switching a few HDMI cables and nothing popped up. I made sure my computer performed all software updates, and I even tried calling Apple Support. They just told me to keep trying different hdmi cables and see if anything pops up. Does anybody know what the problem is? My HDMI cable is from "rocketfish" also my display port is too.

You may have the screen refresh rate set higher than the TV is generally able to track reliably. It may be able to get there most times, but occasionally loses sync because it is out of its nominal range.
I suggest you sit down with the manual for the TV and find out what resolutions at what refresh rates it intends to support through VGA, and make sure your screen settings are near (or below) those limits.

Switched from iPhone 4 to Samsung Galaxy S4 and am not receiving iPhone text messages...

Hello,
I recently switched from the iPhone 4 to the Samsung Galaxsy S4 and am no longer able to receive text messages from other iPhone users. I have combed the forums looking for a solution and so far have come up empty handed. What seems to be working for others is not working for me. Here is what I've tried so far:
Turned on my old iPhone and iPad, went into settings and turned off iMessage, removed iCloud, disabled FaceTime, and disabled my AppleID in the iTunes & App Store settings. I do not own any other devices that could be using my Apple ID.
I logged into Apple's Apple ID software and unregistered both devices from my Apple ID account.
I logged into iTunes and changed my Apple ID, address, removed credit card info, and deactivated all accounts attached. I even deleted any backups that were stored. It's basically a generic account now with no information relevant to my old account.
I went to the Apple Store and they suggested this was a problem with AT&T...
I spent hours on the phone with AT&T... they directed me to Apple, do you feel my pain?
I'm losing my mind here, I'm on call 24/7 for my job and rely on emergency call out text messages for critical incident situations. I am not getting those messages because they are being sent from an iPhone based system. If anyone has any additional information on this I'd really appreciate it, I can't afford to wait 45 days for Apple to recognize I am no longer using the Apple ID associated.
Thanks for your time,
~J

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the response. I contacted Apple at the link you listed and spoke with a representative. We walked through the steps I took in my first post above to ensure I had done them correctly. He didn't offer any new suggestions other than making sure my contacts turn on their MMS before texting me.
Unfortunately that is not working either. I tested this with several friends and I am still not receiving their messages. They get a response immediately upon texting me that says the message was undeliverable. They are able to receive my messages, I just don't get theirs.
Any other ideas?
It's mind boggling that Apple has made this such a difficult transition. There should not be repurcussions for choosing to discontinue the use of their product. The only other thing I can think to do is have my service provider change my phone number... what a nightmare.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I've paired it to my Mac. It was all working fine up until about a week ago, but now when I try to "Send file to device" nothing happens...

I've had my Mac and my Samsung for about 2 yeas now and I haven't had any problems with the two in regards to Bluetooth. As of about a week ago, I could no longer send files from my Mac to my Samsung. I don't know what has gone wrong, but the devices are still paired and I haven't changed any settings. I don't understand how it can just stop working
When I click the "send File to device" option, it doesn't freeze or give me any notice stating the devices are not connected, it just does nothing.

I have the opposite problem. I cannot "browse device".
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini which was working fabulously through Kies and Bluetooth (on Lion) until I upgraded to Mavericks about 3 weeks ago.
Now, when I go to Bluetooth and "Browse Device", the following happens:
The Mac will eventually find the phone, say "connected" then it will say "the device does not have the necessary services". This is despite the fact that both are discoverable and have been previously paired.
Bizzarely though, I can send a file from my Mac to my phone through the "send file" command. That works fine....
Is there something I am doing wrong or is this problem just symptomatic of the ongoing Apple-Samsung spat?
And yes, I know that Kies is now no longer supported by Mavericks and vice versa (boo!), so I have had to use other rather cranky solutions (Android File Transfer) and a faffy google calendar sync to sort the rest of the compatability problems out. The Bluetooth issue is just odd though.
If this is just an Apple-Samsung software war problem, I really wish both would grow up. Many people no longer care who made what first, we just want stuff that works. If iPhone contracts were cheaper, I would get one, but I refuse to pay more than £15 p/m for a mobile phone, sorry Apple.

My av adaptor does not work. Tried to plug my ipad into my samsung hd tv and ipad said it does not support that accessory...help

My av adaptor does not work. Tried to plug my ipad into my samsung hd tv and ipad said it does not support that accessory...help

What ipad, which model samsung? Are you attempting HDMI, VGA, or an RGB connection. Ipad 2 supports mirroring into an HDMI at an output of 1080. Ipad 1 is limited to only a few apps capable of the output, such as Youtube.
page64,65 of the latest ipad manual has more details.
Samsungs are good and should switch with the input - but sometimes you will have to select from the menu manually.
If in doubt, contact the customer support at samsung UK.
Also check - Settings/Video, that you have it enabled for Home Sharing. Apple Id which will be your .me.com email plus your apple ID password. I am not too sure about this as I cannot remember the exact order I set things up in - but page 89 of the manual references Home Sharing for sharing ipad/itunes content on a home pc/mac - so I would think it applies to content relayed to a tv or monitor too.

Ipod Classic 120gb to Samsung LCD TV and Home cinema

Any help or suggestions would help.
I have just bought a New Ipod Classic 120gb and connected it to my Samsung LCD TV and Home cinema systems. The Ipod connects fine but the order of the music on the tv is all mixed up. Is there anyway to sort out the order so it displays in album or even artist order?

Yes, I bought the dock so I could hook it up to my tv. Then I had to buy the cable, I didn't get the cable from Apple. at the time the cable was $50, I went to ebay & found the same cable for about $20. Just like you, I could not find an answer about why the dumb thing wouldn't work, so I just had do my own experiments. Good luck getting Apple to do anything. They don't seem to want to give anything away or replace merchandise.
Take care!!

Samsung tv LE32R86BD and mac mini: No Signal

Hello dear mac users!
Today i received my new mac mini (the new model) from the official Apple distributor here in Greece
with all the adaptors needed to connect it to my Samsung LE32R86BD tv
and that is a mini display port to HDMI adaptor and an HDMI 1,5m cable.
Well, i unpacked the mac mini, pluged the cables in to my LE32R86BD tv which had the notification "check the cables" on screen for the HDMI source.
Once i switched on the mac mini, with the familiar check sound, the notification on tv changed to "No signal" and remained that way.
After a minute i heard a voice saying "English".
So im guessing that mac mini boots fine but why no signal on HDMI?
I tried the HDMI cable of my apple tv and still no signal!
How can i solve this?

There are at least a few possibilities for what went wrong. One thing could be that the adapter you have is defective. Unless it is confirmed to be working with another TV or monitor, there is no way to know.
A second possibility is, when the mini first starts, it may output a low resolution that is compatible with most/all computer monitors but perhaps not with your TV. So it may that a computer monitor will have to be used at least for the initial set up and thereafter the TV can work as the monitor.
Also, is the mini connected to HDMI2? The user manual for that TV says that only HDMI2 is compatible with computer connections.

When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

Samsung Kies 3 and Android-Sync download turned all program icons to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

I recently installed Samsung Kies 3 and Android-Sync on my laptop running Windows 7 Pro. As soon as the installtion was completed, all my program icons turned to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, which is one of the programs loaded on my computer, and all my programs tried to open with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, which of course failed. I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, and the problem cleared up. As soon as I tried to reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, the problem reappeared. I uninstalled Acrobat 9 and installed a trial version of Acrobat XI, and the same thing happened. Any ideas aso to how to correct this problem?

Hi ptstoper,
I was not able to replicate the issue with Acrobat 11 and Android sync.

In general, when desktop software is using Flash Player, it's because they're embedding an Internet Explorer window in the application. If you don't have Flash Player for Internet Explorer (aka. the ActiveX Flash Player) installed, then the desktop application isn't going to work.
So, fire up Internet Explorer
Go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Follow the prompts, and then re-launch the application after you've completed the installation in IE. Hopefully that sorts it out for you.

It's either that, or you call AppleCare & have them fix.

I need a driver to my Samsung CLX-3160 AND ML-3051 printers

I need a driver to my Samsung CLX-3160 AND ML-3051 printers. I haven't found needed drivers anywhere. Do I have to return to Lion (10.6.)?!

Samsung does not appear to have updated the drivers for those printers since 2009 for the 3160 and 2008 for the 3051, so if the 10.6 drivers don't work in 10.8, then absent some additional workaround from Samsung or someone else here, you'll either need to revert back to Mac OS X 10.6 or buy newer printers.
Regards.

Samsung ML-1710 and 10.4.8
