Trouble with printing with windows printing via spoolss

My school has network printing that worked with snow leopard but doesn't work anymore with Lion and the IT-guys don't know how to fix this issue

Get them to enable LPR (aka Unix Print Services) on the Windows print server and you can use LPD on the Mac instead of SMB to print from the Mac.
If they won't enable LPR then you may just need to remove the printer and any previous login keychain for the SMB connection and add the queue again.

An extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes

I am having this problem which appears to be happened after i sync with my computer. In the contact group, there is an extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes, and even though now i stop syncing already, the group is still there. Can anyone here give me some suggestion on how to remove this group permantly, i not just wanted to remove the contacts but the entire group form appearing on my iphone. Thanks.

Is the app compatible with the iPhone (e.g. it's not and iPad-only app), and do you have the relevant iOS version on the phone ? Or do you have Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps set 'off' on the phone which will stop new apps being installed ?

Trouble with Windows Service Pack 1 ?

I am using
Adobe CreatePDF, and because I am using it with a musical notation software program
, Finale, I have to use the Adobe Desktop Printer, to convert the file
s. This has worked very well for a couple of months but, the other day I attempted to us
e it and it doesn't work. I contacted Adobe, through their online chat room and a
fter trouble shooting my computer, the tech said that the Adobe Desktop Printer does not work
now with Windows 7, Service Pack 1. They are working on the problem. Has this been addressed on the forum yet? I'm sorry, but I couldn't find it if it has. Anyone else having this problem. It's really put me in a bind. How are we to know when the issue has been addressed?
Thanks.

I'm sorry, in the Subject Window, I neglected the "7". It's Windows 7, Service Pack 1.
Thanks.

Using an AZERTY keyboard with Windows 7 via parallels

Hi, really hope you can help, its very frustrating! I've got a macbook (10.6) with a french azerty keyboard. Its all fine using applications directly on the mac but when i use windows 7 via parallels, I don't get the correct symbols eg the button to the left of the 1 key is @ (or a # when shift is pressed as well)
I've tried changing the language to all the different french options eg canadian, moroccan etc but none of them have the correct layout
thanks in advance for any replies/advice

You probably need to change the keyboard layout in Windows
From his reference to French Moroccan I suspect he has already tried that. The problem may be that no Windows layout exactly matches the Mac layout, as is the case with several languages. But maybe there is a work-around short of someone having to create a Windows custom keyboard layout.

Share a .webloc file with Windows 7 via Dropbox

I like to simply drag a favicon of a website to the desktop to revisit this page later or to collect relevant sites while doing some research. I have created a folder structure for that on my Mac and put all this into my Dropbox to share it with a Windows 7 PC - assuming this would work like it does on my Mac.
I just realized that the PC can't open these files like my Mac does, by simply double-clicking them. It opens empty tabs in Firefox and/or Safari on the PC. When I open the file in notepad I see the actual URL is still inside the file, but it is not convenient to open each of these files in Notepad first, copy the URL and paste it into a browser.
Is there a better solution to share URLs (not all my Bookmarks) with a PC via Dropbox?

Found a solution:
This script allows for processing .webloc files in folders: http://www.macosxhints.com/comment.php?mode=view&cid=106220

PC Version of Photoshop CS4 Suite on a MAC with Windows Vista Via BootCamp?

Trying to decide wither to give Adobe another $1,400 for a MAC version of their Creative Suite or just use my PC Version on my MacBook Pro and iMac 24".
Either way I am spending money ($350 for Vista Ultimate 64BIT, or $1,400 for the Suite).
Technically I could installed Vista 64 Ultimate under BootCamp, VMFusion or Parallels, and then install my Windows Version of the Adobe Suite I already own and use it on the MAC since you are allowed to have 2 installs on the same Windows OS. I have 1 on a PC and thus would use the other on the MAC.
I wonder however how well Windows and Photoshop in general will play with the MAC via Bootcamp... and will I be able to share files between the Windows OS and MAC OS easily?
Or Should I just let Adobe fully take advantage of me and purchase the MAC platform Version of the exact same software I already own for PC (BTW, I need to keep it on PC as I have to use PC's for certain things and need a PC version).
Its a "$350 Vs $1,400 decision"... I guess I am looking for a little advise from people that might know how Vista64 and CS4 play with bootcamp, Parallels and or VMFusion and what is the best Ultimate option (money aside).

I have the Windows version of CS4 installed in a VMWare Fusion virtual machine (running Windows 7 Ultimate) on my MacBook Pro. While it's not quite as fast or responsive as the native versions I have on the Mac side (I installed the Windows version mostly out of curiosity), it's quite usable.
That being said, you're probably going to be better off using your current Windows versions on your Mac. The reason doesn't have anything to do with the software, but with Adobe. Adobe is a complete mess right now. Their Better Business Bureau rating is currently a D and the BBB recommends caution when dealing with them. They are correct in that. Adobe's Customer Service is worse than useless. They claim they're working on fixing it, but so far, I haven't seen any improvement at all. The went so far as to post a public apology from Lambert Walsh, Adobe's VP of Technical Services, on their website, though that seems to have been removed now. Adobe has always had very poor service, but in the past couple of years, it's gone from bad to horrible. You can indeed switch your license from Windows to Mac. I did it a little over 3 years ago (you're allowed to switch 5 times in a lifetime) and it took many hours on the phone (dropped calls, failure to call me back, endless time on hold) and 4 lost faxes before it finally worked. I understand things are much worse now; take a look at the forums on Adobe's website: http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/adobedotcom_feedback

Connecting iMac with Mac OS X Tiger to an HPC with Windows CE via modem

Hi,
I have an iMac G3 DV 400MHZ with Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.6 and a Compaq C140 HPC with Windows CE 1.0. I dont have the original serial cable for the device and therefore cant connect it to my iMac (like its Mac compatible anyway!) I want to connect it to my iMac via modems (no not ethernet modems the antique modems with the phone wires!) so I can transfer files to it. In case you have never heard of an HPC or Windows CE (which is real similar to Windows 95) lets pretend Im trying to connect a Windows 95 PC to my iMac for file transfer and see if that works.
Thanks

Try posting this under hardware section, you will get more response there. I doubt anyone here can help with that.

Help syncing zire 31 with windows 7 via bluetooth

I am trying to sync my palm zire 31 to windows 7 via bluetooth. So, far no luck! i want to know if it is even posible with my zire? I recently purchased my zire via ebay. So, I have yet to hotsync! help me Please! And, is this the best way for me to try to hotsync in the first place? I have tried repeatedly to hotsync via usb.....but no luck!
Post relates to: Zire 31

The Zire31 does not have a BlueTooth radio in it... The method you are trying will not work.
There are no USB drivers in Vista64 or Win7 64 bit, so syncing via a cable is out too.
Your option is using IrDA (Beaming). Please read the large "Windows7 and Vista HotSync instructions here" thread for some guidance.

Trouble with Windows 8

I tried to post this before but there was an error. I hope I am not repeating myself. I recently purchased a new desktop with windows 8. When I edit a photo every few click of my mouse or touches of my pen tab, cause the image itself to black out as well as my background to change from gray to black to clear (checker board). Have not had the same problem on my lap top which has the exact same version installed on it. But the lap top is running windows 7. My desktop has an AMD Six-Core FX-6200 Processor, 10GB DDR3 Ram and an AMD Radeon 7570 graphics card. If anyone has had the same problem or has an easy-to-understand answer; I'm not very computer savy. I could really use your help. Thank you.

Refer to this:
I can’t see my images and only get a black screen (or strange pattern).
If you have further questions, let us know.

Itunes trouble with windows 8

Since I got my new computer (HP Envy) I installed Itunes and everytime that I try to open the file it says it has encountered a problem and needs to close. I am running windows 8. I never had this problem with windows 7.

This came from another thread, but worked for me. Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62 and Windows 8.1. Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update). Reboot, and reinstall iTunes. It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano. Good luck.

Share printer with Windows 7 via Airport Express?

I would like to share a printer with a Windows 7 Laptop via airport express. The Windows 7 Pc does not detect the printer whereas printing from the Macbook Pro works fine. Any ideas?

Hi, I was searching for the same (my colleague has a windows PC; everyone else here has mac). I have not tested this, since I am working on mac, but it seems like you need to install "Bonjour" for windows.

Trouble with Windows 7

We use business management software from EFI, which includes a "UserReports.exe" they built to launch Crystal reports with command line scripts from within their software. I, as the IT guy working with the end users, create the reports and everything has worked fine until we got a few Windows 7 machines. Now the Windows 7 users aren't seeing a "Printer..." button from within the printer setup window of the UserReports.exe viewer. They tried sending us a new UserReports.exe file, but it didn't work at all. I know the button issue is nothing you can help me with, but if you could confirm that, I'd really appreciate it. The main reason I am writing is because some people have suggested it might not be working because my Crystal developer software needs updated. I have Crystal XI and Crystal 2008. If the reports worked fine on XP machines, Windows 7 should be no different, right? Is anything I can do, any client-side runtime updates for the Windows 7 machines, anything at all I can do to rule out trouble on my end?

Hi Ben,
Unfortunately you'll have to ask the makers of that software to debug this issue. We don't have it so it would only be guesses as to the cause.
This MS Kbase article may help, it's for WEB app but may be for Windows 7 also, I have the same problem in my test app, only System Printers return, no User Printers work. But my Windows 7 at home doesn't have this problem...:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;184291
Also, CR XI R2 SP 6 and CR 2008 SP 2 added Windows 7 support, if they are using runtime older than that they have to update their product.

Trouble with Windows 8.1 and hp officejet 8620

Hi, we've installed a brand new hp Officejet Pro 8620.
We've installed the full software package on a Windows 8.1 machine.
It all seemed to be fine, but suddenly our machine is not capable of print on certain circumstances:
- It can't print from:
a) Notepad: "incorrect parameter" error message
b) Office: Word, Excel, etc... no error, but it simply does not print
c) Adobe Acrobat: no error, but it simply does not print
d) Test print from printer configuration: error
but it CAN print from:
a) hp printer assistant, hp print scan and doctor (hp software)
b) hp AiO printer remote (it's a Metro app), only pdfs
c) Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, etc...
We've tried to reinstall the whole package with no success. It seems that's something's wrong with the driver and desktop applications, any ideas? Anyone with similar problem?
Best,
K
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Finally we've used the proposed solution on:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/Is-Windows-8-1-and-HP-8620-compatible/t...
The trick is drivers for 8600 must be downloaded and installed before the change. 8600 drivers included with 8.1 don't work.
We'll wait for new 8620 drivers that could fix this problem. Meanwhile, we can print with 8600 drivers, and scan with 8620 drivers.
Best,
JM
