Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please.

Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please. Wasting ink and paper at the moment!!!!!!
I have tried the printer with my laptop (not updated) and everything is fine. It's just the beautiful 27" Imac that can no longer print.

Might be a corrupted printer preference file ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move the com.apple.PrinterPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac, restart the printer...

Installed updates FROM apple. Now I have a kernel panic

Ok, I tried to install my updates from apple. Now my Macbook just says i need to re start. I have tried to just re install the OS. It is not even allowing me to do that. It says kernel version. Darwin kernel version 9.5.1 Attempted to get Macbook fixed, but like most people, I don't want to drop $250 on the problem if i can fix it on my own. ANY help is appreciated.

Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Repair permissions and then run the Repair Disk option from your install disc.
Instead of installing from Software Update, go to Apple's download site & download the rest of the downloads manually. For the OS, download the combo version.
Repair permissions after the installations and restart your computer.

Apple tv 2 and HDCP error.

I just replaced my apple tv with a apple tv 2. I have a Sony Bravia KDL-V32XBR1 and I'm getting the HDCP error. I'm using a RocketFish HDMI cable so I'm pretty sure that it supports HDCP.
I can play Youtube, but no netflix and no rental or purchased. I cant do Youtube or any other streamed video from my iPad without getting the HDCP
error message.
Any ideas how to fix?
thanks

This is happening to me too- this is a replacement apple tv because I kept getting the green screen of death! I called for support, because I have iPods, iPhone, MacBook pro and air book in my household and the support people would not address any problems with Apple TV-
I got the impression they felt the product was worthless-
It is just at the one year warranty and I am fed up! NO MORE APPLE TV when there are so many products that offer service.
I have tried changing video output, tv specs, and my gold rocket fish are the best cables around! I think it is apple's new update that took six hours to load a few days ago- Pure garbage! Not even fit for eBay!
Rediculous! Sure will make me think twice about buying apple again!
NO STEP by STEP SOLUTIONS-
Apple has become CORPORATOCRACY PERSONIFIED-
Take our money and then absolutely no service.

HT1595 installed updates for apple tv now I can't get anything it was working before

I updated the apple tv and now I can't get any of it to work no green light on apple tv installed fine this morning?

GUYS THIS IS URGENTLY URGENT PLEASE!! if it helps, maybe being the stupid person I am, I might have accidently muted it so maybe if you guys could just tell me how to unmute, or see what is muted that would be REALLY helpful. Thanks
By the way I know you just read this and you're probably wondering why I am replying to myself....BUT THAT IS JUST HOW IMPORTANT THIS QUESTION IS. PLEASE HELP ME.

Have updated InDesign CC, but now get an error message for Font Manager.InDesignPlugin

I have updated recently updated InDesign CC, but now I get this error when I try to open a document that was working fine yesterday:
Cannot load Adobe InDesign CC because it requires version 9.1 or later of the Font Manager.InDesignPlugin plug-in. Please contact vendor for compatible version of Font Manager.InDesignPlugin.
Where can I find this plugin (for Mac)?

Thanks Peter, just saw your reply now, but that night I did uninstall and reinstall ID; in the morning did the ole shutdown - rest - command+option+p+r on start up as an added precaution and then it worked fine for the rest of the week.
Also, I got a new computer last week. The changeover to the new mac seeeeeemed to be fine...
However, I think Adobe suffers from Monday-itis as today I can't open any programmes as I get the attached message box when I try to sign in to Creative Cloud. Will make this it's own post too.

I've just updated my Apple TV now streaming from my iTunes Library is very slow

I've had Apple TV since november and ever since i've installed it, it has worked like a treat and is a great way to watch content on my iMac. unfortunately since i have done a recent update on Apple TV it is having real issues with the content on my itunes library, streaming on netflix is fine, i am having no issues with my internet, it is just stuck loading when it comes to content on from my iMac. Has anyone else had this problem? is it the update? and is there a way of correcting the error. I have tried:
restarting Apple TV
restarting itunes
rebooting iMac
resetting Apple TV
Restoring Apple TV
signing in and out of itunes
nothing works.....Help!

I updated my apple Id, now I can't access my music

My old apple ID was an email I don't use anymore, so I decided to update it. When I logged in to appleid.apple.com, it prompted me to change my password because my old one did not fit the new requirements. After I changed my password I changed my apple ID. I verified that it had changed with my new email and everything was all set. I set everything up on my phone with the new ID (after some trial and error), but now when I sync my iphone to itunes it asks me to authorize purchases I made with the old ID. No matter what password I put in, it won't accept it, not the original password (before it prompted me to change it) or any subsequent. It then redirects me to iforget where it offers to send me my password. I check the old email, but the password never comes (it doesn't end up in spam either). Now, I can't access any music I purchased under the old apple ID on my phone and I have a feeling that when it comes time to update paid-for apps that I purchased under the old ID that will be impossible as well. If anyone can help me I would very much appreciate it. I know other people are struggling with this issue too.
Also, I didn't know which community to post this to, so this question might end up in a couple.

You might want to try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products and Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Passwords & Security Questions>Lost or Forgotten Apple ID password. They should be able to explain what's going on and help you reset the password for the old ID if necessary. The call should be free.

Software Update Doesn't Work - Now getting software error message

The software update still doesn't work. Now when I get the red triangle with the red exclamation point, when I start to remove the back of the phone I get an orange error message that takes up most of the screen. At the end of the message it says that there is a problem with the ota__.zip package. Then it gives me the option of rebooting.
Does anyone know if/when this software problem will be fixed?
I would definitely not recommend this phone to anyone. Phone doesn't work, VZ and HTC can't fix the problem.
Thanks.

It is not my problem!! First of all, I don't ask for the download to start. It starts on its own, several times a day. Second, I use WiFi connection because 4G rarely works.
Third, I did everything Verizon said to do - I went to a local VZ Wireless store where they did a factory reset. Then they tried the download - it took 3 hours to download and then the update failed.
Up until today the phone itself (not me) tried to download and apply the update several times per day. Each time it fails. The screen displays a black background with a red triangle with a red exclamation point through it. Up until today I had to remove the back of the phone and then remove and replace the battery to unlock the phone.
Today when I started to remove the back of the phone the orange error messages appeared as stated in my original post.
Verizon also recommended talking to HTC which I did and they had no idea what the problem was.
Verizon also told me that if the update still failed after the factory reset they would send me a new phone. I said okay but they sent me a used phone instead (factory refurbished). They said they should not have told me they would send me a new phone. Then they said that when I return the phone if it gets lost then Verizon will bill me for the phone and I will have to get the money back from Fedex. Outrageous! Verizon didn't send me the phone they said they would and then said I would be billed for the cost of the phone if Fedex lost it. I have never experienced such poor "customer service" (or should I say customer unservice).
I prefer Android and Microsoft Windows to anything Apple but I am seriously considering getting an iphone since this phone doesn't work and isn't supported.

Updated my Apple ID, now cannot connect to iCloud.

Hi, I changed my Apple ID name to my new email address (with my existing one still linked in). However whenever i go to back up my iphone on iCloud, it asks for my iCloud password under my 'old' Apple ID. It is still the same ID, just a different name, yet it won't accept my password, so i cannot back up my phone. I am running the latest IOS and it is an iPhone 5. Has anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Sign out of iCloud, the sign in with the new ID/ Password.

Hdcp error on apple tv

Hi, have rented a movie from iTunes on apple tv 3 and hdcp error keeps coming up and won't play movie. Please help!!!! Not sure how to fix???

I recently purchased an Apple TV3 and discovered the dreaded HDCP error as well.
I read through a lot of forums and have listed in order what worked for me. The best solution at the top, some solutions included because, this is 2013 and I still laugh that they were suggested.
Resolving the HDCP Error
(1) Change your HDMI cable to a high speed HDMI cable. My TV was HDCP compliant even though it was a first generation plasma. Thanks Panasonic! But my HDMI cable was not high speed. AppleTV would work some days and not others. It sucked. Then I swapped an HDMI highspeed cable from my PVR sitting in the corner (good riddance cable) and I have no longer seen the HDCP Error. I am keeping my fingers crossed and feel my eylids flicker everytime we fire up an episode of Dexter. Are we going to get the 3 second death pause?... So far no. (Post Enraging HDCP Error Syndrome PEHES)
(1A) Using HDMI port #1 - apparently most TVs don't have HDCP built into all HDMI terminals. This was the case with mine. My appleTV will only stream protected content when I have the cable in the first terminal.
(2) Updating your AppleTV software - when an update is available, I have found the appleTV won't stream without it.
(3) Resetting the appleTV - this includes: powering down the unit, powering down the TV, unplugging the cords (HDMI and power) from the AppleTV and the TV, waiting 30 seconds and reconnecting. This worked only intermittently for me.
(4) Same as 3, but 40 min wait - really? yes really. This worked only intermittently. And is comical. "Now go manually discharge your capacitors!"
(5) Changing the Video Settings on the AppleTV - someone suggested that changing the video settings on the apple TV may actually "reset the device" This did not work for me.
(6) Re-installing AppleTV - seriously? to stream my content I have to re install the appleTV software? I eventually tried this too, and while it took a long time and was annoying, did not work.
Anyway, I hope this is helpful to someone with the same problem in the future.

I just updated my apple tv 2nd gen, now it doesn't work right.

I just updated my apple tv now I can't get it to verify my iTunes account. All it says is can not verify account until network date & time set. I can log into my mobile me, preview movies in iTunes, but can't watch Netflix. Any one else have a similar problem? It was working fine until I updated it. I've also reset it twice.

You need a microUSB cable to connect to computer running iTunes (no other leads). See:
