Updated to OS X 5 & now with printing problem

Just updated from OS X 3.8 to OS X 5.0 and then thru 5.8. I have a G-5 Dual 2.5 from the old power days and HP Office 5500.
So far everything has worked fine except that I can't print docs such as Word, Excel or pdf.
The G-5 is communicating with the printer, test's work etc and printer makes noises and then does nothing for doc excel or pdfs. and then que's them up. I get this error message
"/private/var/spool/cups/d00517-001'"
I got the error message before and after I up dated my HP driver software.
Please help!! Thanks
cj

"tx" a brody for the link but a couple of weeks later I still haven't solved the problem.
I've gone to various links and finally again? downloaded new HP driver software... the latest available 10.4... no 10.5 and of course 10.6 won't work.
At least before the printer would click and whirr and act like it was ready to print.
Now I don't even get that . Nothing.
Please anyone... I need to print some things and now more than willing to pay for getting it to work.

10.6.7 update and now Canon printer problems

I had the automatic 10.6.7 update two days ago and everything is fine except now I have printer issues with Canon MF8350. I can still scan, I can print from Safari, I can print from some .pdf but not others, I am unable to print anything from Word - they all come out as blank pages. Updates from Microsoft and Canon didn't help.
If you don't know, anyone at least know how I can uninstall the update? I know how to find the updates list, but not how to get it out.

I just want to let you all know that I fixed my printing problem.
I could not add my printer under the System Preference>Print & Fax after I did the reset. But I can add the printer back to my Mac Pro by connecting the USB cable to the tower. When I connected my USB cable back to the Apple Extreme. The printer was offline. I did so many different thing still not working. Then I go the the discussion forum on Airport Express and ... I also followed a lot of advises there. Then someone give out a link on Apple support. I following the advise half way still printer was offline. Then I went to my Mac Book and to reset the printer, and add printer again, and click share this printer. I went back to my Mac Pro, and try print a page, I choose nearby printer (there was never has this option for me before). It has another printer icon with Canon MX310 series-1. Bingo, it printed from my Mac Pro also. I have two printer icons on my Mac Pro, one is the same name as the Mac book. I was very happy. It was 4 in the morning. Well, finally I could sleep good.
I am still not sure exactly what the step to make my printer work again (Trial and Error). But I learn a lot by reading advises on this forum.

PSE11-Anyone with Printing Problems Please comment

I earlier reported a problem with profiles with the new PSE11 and Mac OSx 10.7.5. See my previous threads.
The printing paths in PSE11 have changed. My problem occurs only on the first print every time I start up the application.
I am trying to diagnose the problem to approach Adobe with more information.
So any issues with how it works differently/incorrectly compared to other versions please comment. Even if you have to work out a bypass.
cheers elo
action so far
-delete and reinstall PSE11
-deleted all prefs
-checked Epson Support
-Registered with Adobe
-Run tests with different profiles generated by different applications/companies/myown
-Tests with previous version of OSx
-Run tests on PSE6,PSE9,PSE10 where it all works perfectly
To Do.
-replace Epson pro3800 print driver when I finish this weeks production work. (new driver released two months ago to support OSx Mountain Lion. Epson says it should not have anything to do with my problem?

I am having a similar problem. Have you made any progress toward a soloution?
After many emails back and forth and then an hour and a half on the phone with Epson support they determined my problem is a PSE 11 glitch and suggested I try some forums and keep them posted! Here is the problem. I recently upgraded from PSE 8 to 11 and upgraded my Mac OS to 10.6.8. I have been printing from PSE 4 as I got better results from 4 than from 8. My printer is an Epson R1800. When I launch PSE 11 and print an image it comes out terrific. BUT if I want to print a second image, or even the original image a second time it is terrible. I set the "color setting" option to "Epson vivid" on the print menu. That option is greyed out after the 1st image is printed. Doesn't matter if Elements manages color or if printer manages color. One good print and then I have to close PSE 11 and relaunch to get another print. Epson is suggesting that PSE is not “releasing” after the 1st print???
Any one else having this problem? Many thanks

I have a feeling this has been up here a lot. I updated ios 6 to my phone with no problems but I also back my phone up. I decided to help the wife out and update hers and something went wrong data lost. All contacts, photos, etc without backup, help.

I have a feeling this has been up here a lot. I updated ios 6 to my phone (4S) with no problems but I also back my phone up. I decided to help the wife out and update hers and something went wrong data lost. All contacts, photos, etc without backup, help.

if you have no back up in icloud or itunes the best you can do is sync with your computer and get back what you can from there

Hello there! am new to mac and had been using my mcbook pro for like a year now with no problem but last Monday, I started having concerns about my keychain access.. every time i open the mac it asks for my keychain password.. what can i do?

Hello there!
I am a new Mc Bok Pro user and had been using my mac since Sept, 2012 with no problem. Just recently however, I have been experiencing a Keychain access problem. Specifically, whenever I open the mac, it asks for my keychain password... Can I restore my mac to its condition before Jan. 18, 2014? What should I do?
Thanks everyone!

This is only for Local Items key chain not Login Keychain.

After Yosemite Update, Macbook Pro Frustratingly slow, along with many problems after

My Info:
Macbook Pro (2012)
2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
OS X 10.10.3 (14D136)
Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
186.54 GB free of 498.88 GB
Until the last OS X Update (Yosemite), I have had no problems with my almost three year old MacPro.
However, after the last update, I have so many problems with my mac, I just feel like throwing
it out the window.
Unfortunately, I did not have a backup prior to the update, but I backed up my photos and files, then proceeded
to follow apple's instructions (apple support chat) to erase the HD and re-install yosemite from online. Then, I backed up my files and photos from my external drive. (I used TIME MACHINE)
Fine in theory, but:
1. my iphoto library was somehow lost, nowhere to ever be found again
2. I suddenly have issues with my trackpad--the "double click" or "right" click refuses to work, I cannot drag and drop.
3. I have java runtime error messages even upon startup, without internet connection, even though I have already deleted anything and everything java related.
4. My safari is completely useless. Freezes even when only using one tab, must force quit every second.
5. My computer decides by itself when to zoom in and out of a page.
6. My apps are completely slow, I most always need to force quit them
7. My trash has many issues-- If putting a file in the trash, it says "moving file to trash" for hours on end without ever completing the action, also, if I try emptying the trash, it's the same story.
8. Settings. If I try to change a setting, it says "authenticating" for ever and ever without ever authenticating, and I am unable to change any settings.
I have talked to apple many times but have not yet reached a solution.
I have no other resolution at the moment, as I am in Taiwan for another month (My Chinese is limited and there are few, if none authentic Apple stores around)
I have one more month on my warranty so I can *possibly* take it in to a store when I return home, but I first wanted to ask here and see if anyone else stumbled upon the same issues, or if they had solutions.
Thank you!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
        Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
        Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

Acrobat 9 bug with printing problems

Hello, Acrobat 9 seems to have a bug when printing pdf files. Only the first page is printed. I tried on my Kyocera 2525E and my HP 2600N. Does anyone know a solution ?

This seems to be a known issue Peter. There are certain models of Kyocera and Canon printers which will only print the first page. As Mike suggested the issue will only be resolved with an updated driver from the printer manufacturers or an update to Acrobat 9. You might try Print As Image in the Advanced portion of the Print dialog. It is a checkbox at the top of the Advanced dialog. Good Luck!

Updated to OS4; podcasts UI now has a problem

After updating my 3GS to OS4 certain podcasts (e.g., those from NPR like CarTalk) exhibit a UI bug. While playing (or fast forwarding) the time display doesn't change - fixed at 0:00, and the scrub bar is totally disabled - can't select and shuttle back and forth. Before I take my phone to a genius bar I wanted to know if others have experienced this, and if it's a known bug which will be fixed in an update.

This has been a problem for me for awhile, getting the --:-- on the scrubber bar, not being able to forward through the podcast. And not just on iphone 4. It happens on my Ipad and happened on my old iphone --so its not a IOS 4 problem exclusively.
Anyway, _I have figured out a rather convoluted solution to this problem_. Bear with me, it's going to seem silly and excessive.
So... when you sync your phone/ipad to your itunes, 1st thing to do is "transfer all your purchases" (if you dont know how to do this, control-mouse click on the iphone/ipad icon when it pops up in itunes)
This will transfer all the podcasts that you had downloaded directly to your phone back to itunes.
Then (and you only have to do this once) make sure "sync podcasts" is checked off under the PODCASTS tab -- the tab related to your phone, not the PODCAST tab for the stuff on your Itunes desktop/laptop.
Then comes the really silly part. You have to manually click on any of the podcasts you want to go back to your phone. The ones you directly had downloaded on your phone and the ones you downloaded through itunes.
They will sync back to your phone and work fine, scrubber bar works now, the time is correct, it lets you fast forward etc...
I have a bunch of podcasts but probably not as many as most so its not that annoying for me to have to manually click on the ones i want back on the phone the right way. I'm sure this solution probably is too silly for those who have tons of podcasts and dont want to have to reclick on every one just because they hooked up to itunes. But it is a solution of sorts.
I"m hoping Apple will fix this little glitch at some point but until then this is what I came up with. Interested to hear if anyone has a simpler solution or if this works for other people too. Thanks.

Can someone help with print problem?

I have problem saving the printer driver settings in CS6, and not shure it is problem with my installation only. Can anyone check for simlar behaviour by selecting some printer driver settings that are not the default ones and see if those are saved when Done button in the Print dialog is pressed. Thank you!

There are only few threads describing the similar problem, I have been checking for meny years for that because it is nothing new to me I remember the same behaviour in CS and CS2, and allways wondered why there was no official fix for it. Actually, the reason to ask for help is not the bug itself, but rather the bizzare lack of user complaints in community forums, that would have eventually rised the program designers attention. Am I the only one out of maybe millions of Illustrator userrs that regularly prints from it?

I updated to Mountain Lion and now I have problems

After I updated to Mountain Lion my iphoto, imovie, numbers, pages,keynote will not open it has an error that says, You can’t open the application “Pages.app” because it is not supported on this type of Mac.What do I do now?

I've read that if you update to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 this behavior has been "fixed."
Most users blame the implementation of Save As… as not working as it has in the past. I believe the issue is that autosave will save all changes but you can revert the original document to a previous version. Click the small triangle next to the document name in the title bar & choose browse all versions.

Please help with Printer problem on MBP

I am running 10.5.1 and am trying to install the software to enable me to scan. I have tried from the original CD, but it doesn't work (i assume this is because it was meant for 10.4). I have also tried downloading from the website but the download always says something like "19mb out of ?" and then eventually the downloads errors out.
Is there any way i can get the scanner to work? can anyone upload this software to me? I know its a lot to ask but im not sure what to do.

Don't know what to tell you, but I downloaded the file without any problem. Do you have enough space on your drive for the file? You may have a problem on your drive so you might consider doing the following:
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 and Leopard.) 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. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger and Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) 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.

Updated to OS X 5 & now with printing problem
