"Software currently unavailable" message on mac

I have an iMac with the 10.7 operating system.  My HP Officejet 6310 recently quit responding, so I un-installed the HP software and then tried to install it through the mac system preferaences.  The system located my printer and says software is currently available for it.  I press download and after awhile this message comes up:
The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software.
It's a catch 22!  HP's website says to install the software using the mac OS.  I have re booted the computer and the printer, but still get the same message.  Please help.  Thanks

  • I have an apple iMac G5 running Mac OS 10.4.11 can i upgrade it to 10.5? if so will i also loose all the software currently installed on my Mac? eg. Adobe software.

    I have an apple iMac G5 running Mac OS 10.4.11 can i upgrade it to 10.5?
    If so will i also loose all the software currently installed on my Mac? eg. Adobe software.
    I have moved countries (opposite side of world) so i do not have my install disks, or the disks that came with my Mac.
    Where can i get the 10.5 upgrade from?
    Do i need my original disks that came with my Mac?
    - Thanks if anyone can help
    Note:
    I have never had any problems with my G5, it's been my awesome helper these past 7 years, I can't say the same thing for my new Mac, but it seems now my poor G5 is slowly being made redundent because they no longer write software for it.
    I don't see why i should pay for a new Mac because my old one does not always function on the web, or having a new printer because it does not support the new software.
    My New Mac Laptop has had no end of troubles since i bought it less than a year ago.
    What happened to Mac being a sign of Quality??

    First off, all upgrades can potentially break a system.  First and foremost, backup your data before installing anything.  Next read this tip as 10.5 loses Classic compatibility, and has these other issues outlined on the tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2275

  • TS1424 What is the "Account is currently unavailable" message in the ipad 2 app store?

    Hey guys,
                   I have an ipad 2 and when I try to download an app from the onboard app store, I keep getting this"This account is currently unavailable message". What is this and how would I go about fixing it?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    There seems to be more than the average number of reports about users being unable to connect to iTunes at the moment, there may well be an issue with the servers. I would try again later and see if the problem persists.

  • "Software currently unavailable" error while installing printer

    I have a Brother MFC-465CN multifunction printer that I used as a standalone USB printer for over a year from my 27" Mac. I recently connected it to my router (printer is networkable) so that I can share with my windows 7 PC. I am easily able to print from my Windows PC. My Mac recognizes the network printer correctly System Preferences, Print&Fax, + to add Printer) - Shows Printer Name and Kind as "Bonjour" - even tells me that my selected printer software is available from Apple. When I try installing I get an error message saying "The software is currently unavailable" - Any ideas? The most frustrating part is that I am not even able to install the printer as a USB printer anymore - I get the same error.

    The drivers and utilities on the CD-ROM for Mac OS® X 10.5 or earlier bundled with your Brother machine are NOTcompatible with Mac OS® X 10.6.
    Download the correct printer driver here:

    I think you also need a current driver for the Scanner:

  • Currently Unavailable Message for a Single Channel

    Has anyone had this issue with a single channel?  The new FSC HD (584) that just came out last week worked for 1/2 a day then it started showing Currently Unavailable.  I had a technician out a few days later and he checked signal strength, changed all the connections at the splitter on every line and the channel started to show up again.  Two days later it went back to Currently Unavailable.   After 2 hours on the phone, an hour tech visit, an hour on online chat, researching all I could, etc. they have no clue what to do and now I have to wait for a technician to come out again in 7 days!!!!!   Gotta love Verizon!  
    I can't believe that there is no record of another customer having this issue in their tech support databases and someone can tell me something other than unplug the connection and plug it back in.  
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The technician changed out all of the connections into and out of the splitter. We also reconnected everything along with way (at the router, to the TVs and from the wall plates, etc.).   It worked fine for a day or two then went out again on all of the TVs.  Then this morning the channel is appearing again (without doing anything), but it's just a matter of time until it goes out again.   My question is I could understand a connection issue if it were all of the HD channels, but why on just this one (the newest one released about a week ago, doesn't happen on the previously released HD channel BET).

  • I'm getting messages that Netflix and the iTunes store are currently unavailable.  This can't be a coincidence.  also, my iTunes account works fine on my Mac, just not on the Apple TV.

    I'm getting  messages on Apple TV that netflix and the itunes store are currently unavailable.  This can't be a coincidence.  Also, the iTunes store is working fine on my Mac, the message is only on the apple TV.  Does anyone come across this frequently?

    1. An explanation for what? There is indeed a support number (which you can find on this page in "Contact Us" and you are limited to one support call in the first 90 days and if you have the AppleCare you have more than that available, so I'm not sure what you are whinning about (and it is whinning, trust me).
    2. http://www.kelleytown.com/ikelleytown.htm#firewire
    However, since I wrote that I've also found this link pretty well explaining why firewire is the only way to go as well (it's about video but the same principles apply to the iPod:
    http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/index.php/id;1847886895
    3. Your computer is constantly changing whether you know it or not. Do you not apply any MS upgrades (or have them automatically applied for you?) Do you not have any antivirus on your machine (which applies its own upgrades)? Do you not, ever, ever, ever, open any email message, or download that cute little movie your friend sent you, or plug in any other device (like a digital camera or flashcard reader) or any of the other hundreds of things that change the computer environment.
    It would be tempting to conclude a priori that the update you applied is now the problem, but if so, how do you explain the millions of others who apply the update without issues? The difference is in the software and settings on the witches brew that is a PC. So in a sense you are right in that the old firmware worked with the mess that is your computer and now the new one doesn't -- but it ain't up to Apple to fix your computer, and impossible for them to control the environment (oh, I guess unless you buy a Mac -- "coincidentally" Mac's use firewire for the iPod :>)
    I dunno -- when 90% of all issues (100% of all connection issues) can be solved with the Adaptec 4300 I tend to have a lot less patience with folks. If you want to use the mess that is USB then you'll just have to deal with the fact that MS screwed it up big time and become more knowledgable on how to handle the problems.

  • When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac.  You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
    Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod?  If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either  2G or 3G. To identify yours:

  • HT3669 My Epson RX510 is included in the list of printers supported but on attempting to download the drivers using the method advised, I get an error message "... the software is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer's manufacturer ....".

    My (old) Epson RX510 multifunction printer is included in the list of printers supported by Apple, but on following the procedure advised for downloading the printer drivers for Mountain Lion and/or Lion I get the error message " the printer software is currently unavailable and to contact the printer manufacturer. However on going to the Epson web site I get the message to go to the Apple web site as all printer drivers have been covered in the Mountain Lion software updates.
    Can anyone please advise what is going on when the said printer is shown as being included in Apple's list of software included in Mountain Lion and Lion software updates?

    Go to;  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#epson
    - then scroll down to the Epson section and eventually you will find the RX510 listed with Version 9.00 shown and "P" & "S" shown for printer and scanner drivers being available.
    PS: Sometimes you need to click on the "Software available" link to open the list of printers. It is then a fair way down the Epson list with the RX series.

    Then you either have a network problem or a hardware problem or a corrupted hard drive. You might try:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard 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 Utilities menu. 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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro 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.
    You can also try downloading from another computer on a different network connection.

  • How do I set up a printer when the software is currently unavailable?

    Preview no longer communicates with my HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series printer for scanning documents.
    I am trying to use my older printers: Canon PIXMA MP490 series AND/OR HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One.
    Messages from both of the older printer/scanners read: The software for this printer is currently unavailable.  Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software.
    When I download the software from the manufacturer, I get the same message again.
    Is there any help for this problem?

  • Epson software install problem: The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software." But i have downloaded from Epson and Apple!!!

    I am trying to install a printer Epson xp-605 but when i try to add it, Apple says it can't find the software. I have downloaded the software from Apple website and also from the Epson installation disc!  The message is: "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software."

    Try a reset of the printing system. This often resolves the symptom you are experiencing.

    Hi Romantilizer,
    Hook your phone up to iTunes on the computer you sync with and do your update from there. This is a robust iOS release, and doing it OTA is not always successful. I tried on my iPhone a couple of times, and it aborted the update twice. Did it via the Mac, and it was fine.
    It takes a bit of time, so hook it up, make sure it is updating your phone, and then find something else to do for a couple of hours.
    Cheers,
