Unable to download printer drivers. Now what do I do?
Due to a recent incident (my own stupidity) I had to reinstall my OS on a couple of computers. One is an older MacBook running Lion (10.7.5), the other is a newer iMac running Mavericks (10.9.4).
On the older Lion unit, the printer settings indicate that drivers ARE available for my printers (an HP OfficeJet 8500 a909N and an HP OfficeJet 8500 a910N). But when I attempt to download them, I get back a message that the drivers AREN'T available.
In the case of the newer, Mavericks unit, I was able to install the drivers for the a910N but the drivers for the a909N are reportedly unavailable. And of course, HP is no help as they don't make drivers available on their website.
So, what do I do (other than purchase a new printer?)
If the drivers aren't downloaded automatically for your printer, then download the most recent package of drivers for your printer make from Apple - support.apple.com/downloads. Or go to the maker's website, locate their driver download pages for a current driver.

Hi Everybody,
I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac. Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan. I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple. I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan. How do I uninstall the Epson software and start all over again?
nickel_man_65Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee

After iPad update I can't access my notes! Crashes opening with blank page. I have tried turning on and off. I have tried the reset to original. I have tried downloading again. Now what? I have important information that I need to get....
If you have set this phone up, then there would not necessarily be a solution here until you have been verify with the provider that everything is provisioned correctly on their end. Since the 3G comes from your cellular provider, if the settings are correct on the phone, then you should work with the carrier next.

I've forgotten the answers to my security questions, and for some reasons My rescue email is not active now, I can only access to my primary email, I have just redeemed a $25 gift card this morning, I was unable to use the money now. what should I do?
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I downloaded photoshop elements, now what?
I downloaded photoshop elements, now what? I can see all the files and whatnot, but now what do I do? Is there other steps to start using the free trial? I'm not that computer savvy, yet if you tell me in plain english I'm sure I can figure it out;)
Which operating system are you using? I would recommend you begin by launching the setup application to install Photoshop Elements. You might also find the document Install | Adobe Premiere Elements | Photoshop Elements | Windows | Mac OS helpful.

How to download printer drivers, how to download printer drivers, how to download printer drivers
I have migrated from Microsoft to Apple and need to know how to find my printer drivers. I downloaded new driver for Mac OS from Brothers website, but can't find my printer anywhere. It said the download completed by no where to be found. Please help.
Under Lion, you should not install the printer driver directly. Let Apple find it for you via software update.
Here's the detailed article that will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670
You basically have to have your printer connected to your Mac (for example, by USB or on your wireless network). Then let Apple find the appropriate driver software for you. -

I went to Dell Website and there were no listing for Mas so was unable to download anything to help. Any other ideas????
If you have already downloaded it, have you installed it yet? I know the most recent Flash plug-in isn't optimized for Chrome, but Safari works just fine with it. There should be an arrow pointing down in your upper right hand corner of the screen. If you tap on that, it will list your downloads. Tap on the Flash download and you should be able to follow the prompts to install the plug-in.
