Using USBTB For LW 360; Must I Switch HP Photosmart 8450 To CUPS Driver?
This weekend my LaserWriter 360 quit printing under Snow Leopard. No DIP switch/driver combo would resurrect the printer...
Fortunately, I found the discussion regarding using USBTB (http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2519106&tstart=120) and now the LW 360 is up and running!
My question: must I now switch my HP Photosmart 8450 to a compatible CUPS driver? I assume that the answer is "yes" but i would like to continue using the HP driver if possible...
That would be a separate issue. If it works now, it should still work. The only reason you would need a CUPS driver is if you are using a print server that needs it, or if you are printing through Window sharing.

I am using Office for MAC 2008, when I switch to other applications on my MAC, to copy and paste something for instance and then go back to Office window it never brings me back to the window/worksheet I was working on. I have to click on the Window tab in excell for instance, but my window is ticked but not appearing. I then have to click on one of the other open files and then click back to the sheet I was working on for it to appear. Can any one tell me why?
Does that happen only on web pages that are running a Flash presentation? <br />
When Flash "steals focus" from Firefox, you need to click outside the Flash presentation in the browser window, to regain focus in Firefox. A major problem arises when the Flash presentation is in the entire browser window, though. The Firefox developers are working on fixing that in Firefox, but it doesn't look like a fix is going to make it into Firefox 4.0, though. -
I use the Microsoft Outlook Web App for work email. I receive files with a .RXML extension. This has always worked just fine until the latest version of Firefox came out (I was using FF 7 until this weekend). Now FF changes the extension to .ashx when I open the file and I cannot download it into my software. If I go to the company internet site and download directly from there, it does the same thing. But I can open these files just fine from IE. I REALLY don't want to have to go back to IE.
I opened one of the PDF files in notepad and these are the first couple lines:

I use preview for my work and since switching to Lion it's unusable.
Preview has become useless to me. I have to resize photos to upload them at my newspaper. Sometimes, for some God-known reason, I have to switch formats and switch back to make them upload on my website. In the old Preview, I could simply do a screenshot, open it, select "save as..." and save it as a jpg, then adjust the size, save it to my folder and then upload it.
The new version forces me to duplicate. If I then save the duplicate as a jpg, (or anything else) I can't do anything else to it because it says I don't have permission. I have to then find it in finder and change the permission on EACH photo, trying to change the permissions on the whole folder doesn't work. Once I've done that, I have to make ANOTHER duplicate, resize that, and save it. Soon I have versions of the photo all over my computer.
Conversely, I could resize it first, and then save it, but if I resize it as a PNG (which is what a screen shot is) and then save it as a jpg, it throws the size off.
If I upload the thing as a PNG it comes out smaller than does a JPG.
Furthermore, in the last Preview, the Save As.... option included a slider that allowed you to change the size in KB. Now it jsut shows a slider from best quality to least quality. Given that so many website limit KB size to 50 or 60, I am surprised that it's so hard to adjust to a specific number of KB!!! I have to keep guessing on Preview to get the photo as close to 60 as possible without going over!
If any part of this problem resonates with anyone, if anyone knows of something I don't know about in Preferences or something, for God's sake, my work life just got very difficult and any help is appreciated.
Also, somehow iPhoto got uninstalled on my computer. How can I reinstall it? Maybe I coudl do this photo resizing more easily in iPhoto and heck with Preview?
Note: I tried resizing on line, but it's very slow. Also requires intense guess work to get the KB right.What happened was I selected the folder in the finder window, chose "get info" scrolled down and saw just the same thing you have there in the image.
I clicked the lock, chose a photo, did a screen shot (which landed on my desktop), retrieved the screen shot, put it in the folder with the original, then saved it as a jpg. (This is what my impossible website seems to make me do photos that came to me really large. It's not enough the merely resize it, I have to screen shot it, return the screen shot to a jpg, then resize it, and it will load. I have tech support working on that, but in the mean time, it's what i've got.)
So I then opened the jpg and tried to resize it....and got the same error message! You don't have permission! And I opened finder, found the jpg, clicked get info, and lo, same thing you show above, even though I'd theoretically changed permissions on that whole folder! And here's the kicker, I'm the person who supposedly has permission to read and write, but it doesn't seem to recognize me, and won't give me permission to edit my own dang photo!
Oh, GRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! -
What should I do when I get an error message (error code - 8003) when I'm trying to empty the trash to clear up additional space on an external hard drive?
Yes. And you should not have moved that folder. Put it back. To move your iTunes library move the folder from User's Music.

I'm having trouble upgrading to ITunes v12.0.1 with
Win 7. Download progress bar stalls and eventually cancels itself. Have tried
Tools --> Download Only, but same result. Have been using iTunes for 3+
years without difficulty; I have lots of ram, hard drive and speed.
Thanks for your inputOne step listed in the link to "helpful" info, was (when Iooked 30 seconds ago), to search for and download the newest version of iTunes. I'm running iTunes on Win 7 machine and was prompted to update today, 10.22.2014, and did so without a problem. Having said that, however, it looks as though the latest iTunes (12.0.1.26) is finally doing what the last version refused to do, which is to actually fully populate all my playlists on my 6, but there is a hitch: 12.0.1.26 will NOT allow you to show the sidebar unless you click on "playlists," that is, you cannot keep it open all the time.
And, when plugging the 6 into the computer, the phone icon shows up but clicking on it does nada. What does work, for some strange reason, is clicking on the tiny icon (just under the "Store" menu link at top screen) which looks much like a tiny barrel, someone's idea of external drives, I suppose. The phone then comes up, with the list of stuff on the phone just under it where the sidebar used to be. Sync is now restricted to the lower right of the screen.
Apparently, you will also need to update your iPhone's software as well; some friends with the 4 and 4s, however, had troubles with them after upgrading. The message from Silicon Valley (I can see Apple from my backyard, ha ha) is apparently, "keep upgrading," folks, get rid of those old phones. -
I cannot download the apps. It's showing that u cannot use the Singapore software, you must switch to Indian store please help me out on this problem.
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
If you find that it is set to the correct region, log out of your iTunes Store account, restart your iPhone, and sign into your account again.
Regards.

We have purchased 5 apple minis and would like them all on one account, that way we can monitor the use of these units. They will be used strickly for a business application. Can I use one account in itunes or must i have multiple.
Not going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with. -
The Firefox URL address bar defaults to a search feature if the browser does not recognize the entry as a valid http, https, ftp etc URL.
Until recently, it used Google. It is now using Yahoo search and I want to switch it back.
Efforts to use Time Machine backups of my library files have not fixed the problem.Hey Shewmaker,
You should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Location%20bar%20search?s=location+bar&r=2&as=s#w_changing-the-internet-keyword-service this article] on the Location Bar. It will show you how to change the provider for the location bar search.
Hopefully this helps! -

How come I could not download anything today? It keeps saying my app is not available in the US store and that I must first switch to Philippine store. But I have long been using Philippines as my location. Pls help me.
Try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your device and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select the Philippines.

Applications are mentioned free, but when we start downloading one dollar is charged in my credit card, but only for the first time when i switch on and use it for the first time one dollar is charged. and from next application it is free. why?
Kindly inform any email id or toll free number to contact apple for your below answer, Mr.King_Penguin
About receiving my credit card being debited for Free App Store Application downloads,
It should be within a few days, but it might vary a bit by bank/provider :
I am in India, if the bank don't refunds , what to do?
Rajagopal.pngr :- It is only a holding charge, it is not a permanent charge. If it isn't refunded within a few days or so (and it quite possibly won't be over a weekend) then you can query the charge with Apple. -
I have used lightroom for ~2 years and have lightroom 5.5 installed on a PC. Yesterday evening I uploaded a new set of photos which I cataloged and rated as usual. After that when I switched to the develop module trouble began. First thing was when using the crop tool the picture would disappear and only reappear once I closed the tool. Then exposure and White balance changes would change the histogram but not the appearance of the photo. Finally clipping was also not appearing on the picture. I first reuploaded the photos. No effect. Then I reinstalled lightroom. No effect. Help please!
Try deleting your preferences file

Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?
I changed the about:config to make the rotate gesture move between tabs, and it worked great for well over a year. Now it behaves erratically as described here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598
It used to be very controllable to move one tab over, now it is erratic and moves quickly and to unexpected tabs regardless of how slow I do the rotate gesture. This is the main reason I use Firefox over Chrome and I would like to continue to do so unless there is no fix to this.Just set the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed. For me to use XCode 4.5, I must have 10.7 or later. What is the best way to go ahead? Should I install OS X Lion and then move to Mountain Lion, or can I straight away install latest Mountain Lion, i.e. 10.8.2
You can directly install Mountain Lion 10.8.0 to 10.6.8, and then apply the 10.8.2 Update.
Hope this helps
