Why does a 4x6 photo try to print in 81/2 x 11?

HP Deskjet F4580 (wireless)
Windows 7 64-bit
upgraded from HP Photosmart Essentials 3.5? to HP Photo Creations
When I tried to print a 4"x6" photo, it looked like HP Photo Creations was trying to print on an 81/2" x 11" sheet of paper. I tried it twice, then went to Windows Live Photo Gallery to print the picture. HP Photo Creations is the easiest, but the worst program I've ever tried to use.
This question was solved.

Hi JJC.
Did you have "best fit full page" selected in the print window? That will resize your image to fit the selected paper. In the example below, we used the best-fit feature to print a 5 x 7 design on a 5 x 6.5-inch card.

Just purchased a office jet 6500A Plus so that I can print from my iPhone and iPad. I can print form my iPhone but my iPad 2 tells me there is no air printer available. Why does one device recognize the air printer but the other device does not?

I have the 6500A without plus and it is with a LAN cable connected with my Router.
First make sure you have the latest printer firmware installed.
Next restart the printer and the Router.
I had the same. Problem but it went away after rebooting the Router.

I am suddenly having a problem printing 4x6 photos. The print as though starting in the middle of an 8x10 sheet. I've checked and double-checked the print settings. Anyone else have this problem?

Why does an image size 6x6 240 print out 6.25x6.25 when I drag it into a new file 24x7 240? When I print it before I drag it into the new file it prints out 6x6.

Why does an image size 6x6 240 print out 6.25x6.25 when I drag it into a new file 24x7 240 image size? If I print it before I drag it into the 24x7 240 file it prints 6x6.

What is the number 240 meant to indicate here – the resolution? If so please also give the unit.
And what are your printer and the print settings you use, could there be any scaling involved in the printing itself?

Why does my Mac Pro try to start up from a blank drive?

I fitted a 2nd drive to my 2006 Mac Pro in anticipation of dual booting Windows (not done yet). The dive is FAT formatted but is empty. Why does the Mac Pro try to boot up from that drive every time I start it up, despite having set the startup disc as OS X in the System Prefs?! Getting sick of seeing the flashing folder with the question mark evry time I start it up.

I might be inclined to think the problem is really on your startup drive. You might try reinstalling Snow Leopard.
Also, try:
Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard 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 Utilities menu. 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.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro 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.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Why does IPhoto always crop pictures when printing?

Whenever I print from iphoto the picture alway gets cropped automatically. Why does it do this and how can I stop it? This results in heads and feet often being cropped out of the printed photo which is frustrating. When I double click on a photo to view it full screen I can see the full photo however the actual print, regardless of print size chosen, ends up being cropped. I use an HP C7280 printer.

Photos from a digital camera are in a size ratio of 4:3 which is not one of the standard print sizes. Therefore the photo must be cropped in order to fit the select print size. You should crop the photo yourself in iPhoto before printing so you get exactly what you want with no surprises.
What iPhoto does is take the smaller dimension and scale it to fit that dimension in the print. The larger dimension will obviously be larger than the print so it will be cropped to fit, usually on both ends.
Bottom line: do the cropping yourself to get what you want.

Why does deleting a photo from Photo Stream on my iPad also delete them from the album I just copied them to?

I'm working hard a mastering the details of icloud and iPhoto. I would like to have a well designed sets of pictures to carry around on the iPad, but after months it seems I'm still surprised when I open my photo app. Pictures I don't care about are there; pictures I tried to have available to show are missing. Well, I'm slowly working through it. This is not my main question today but a referral to a good info source(s) would appreciated.
So why does it happen that when I copy pictures from Photo Stream to an existing album, then go and delete them from photo stream, they pictures are deleted from the album where I thought they would be safe?
Thank you!

Pictures on Photo Stream remain there for only 30 days by design. So if you setup PS on your Mac and add photos to it they will display on the iPad. However, to remain on the iPad you will have to move them to the Camera Roll (I only have an iPhone and that's what it's called on it) in order to keep them permanently. This screenshot shows the save options on the iPhone when photos in the Photo Stream are seledted. Notice the option in the lower right hand corner:
It probably is similar on the iPad.
Or, you can put the photos in an album in iPhoto and connect the iPad to your Mac. Open iTunes and go to the iPad's Pictures section. There you can select the album in iPhoto and sync those photos to the iPad where they will be in the Camera Roll section.l

Why does that same photo keep appearing in the edited folder????

Why is that same photo always mysteriously appear in the edited folder whenever a photo is added to camera roll????? If I happen to take a picture on my iPad, then if I go to iPhoto, there is this one stubborn picture that mysteriously appears in the edited folder. When I try to revert it to original so I can get it out from the edit folder, it's not highlighted. So what I do is actually edit it then revert it to original, then it disappears. However if I go back to the iPad camera and take a picture or just save a picture from safari that same stubborn photo reappears in iPhoto edit folder when I launch the app. If that's not a bug, then what is????

Why does my Pixma MP 980 sometimes print and other times give me 5700 paper jam msg untrue?

I'm having trouble with an erratic printer Pixma MP 980. Somtimes it prints (wireless connection) and other times it receives job but doesn't do it, saying there's a paper jam (error msg 5700 - turn off printer, get jammed paper out - there is no jammed paper - and if it doesn't work then, consult manual.)
Manual has nothing about this in Troubleshooting that I can find. Why does the printer work sometimes, then not? It repeats even after I turn it on and off, but only after a successful printing. Then next job is error, but no paper jam to prove it.

Hello marykennedy,
Unfortunately, when the 5700 error repeatedly displays on the printer, the printer will require servicing to determine the exact cause of the issue. Please click on the Contact Us link below to obtain servicing options.

Why does Application Manager say "Try" for Acrobat XI Pro?

If I have a Creative Cloud subscription, why does the Application Manager say "Try" for the Acrobat XI Pro app? Shouldn't I be able to upgrade my existing X Pro version? I have tried in the past, but it will not work after download.

Re-reading my post from Saturday, I thought I could add some more detail about what I am actually seeing.
When I launch Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.2, the standard Acrobat window providing options for the next actions I can take with Acrobat - Open a file, combine files into a PDF, etc. - appears briefly and then Adobe Application Manager launches automatically. AAM shows me a window labeled "Adobe Acrobat XI." At the top of the window area is the title "Serial Number Upgrade," and the text below that headline states, "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer." It goes on to state, "To use this serial number, you must own one of these qualifying products. Please choose the one you own and enter its serial number."
Below that there is a drop-down menu titled "Select a product," which lists the following products:
Adobe Acrobat X Standard
Adobe Acrobat XI Standard
Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard
Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard
Adobe Acrobat X Pro Macintosh
Adobe Acrobat X Pro Windows
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Macintosh
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Windows
Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional Macintosh
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Windows
Adobe Acrobat 3D V8
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended
Adobe Acrobat X Suite
Next to this drop-down menu is a text entry block for the serial number.
Below that is the text, "If you have registered products in the past, you can go to you account page to find your serial number. Contact Customer Support for further assistance."
My next step will probably be to do another complete uninstall and reinstall to see if that changes anything.

Why does my network stop recognizing my printer and telling me it is offline.

I got a photosmart 6510 printer and it loses wifi connectivity. in order to get it working again i have to toggle the wifi on and off on the printer. It only maintains a connection for a short time and i have to toggle the wifi on and off again. The connectivity seems to only be lost between the printer and laptop (running windows 7) or the printer and phone (android ginger bread). I have a ps3 on the same network and connectivity to that device is never interrupted. The ps3 connection works even when my computer and phone report the printer is offline. I have enabled full trust to my computer and phone and even established a static IP address for the printer. The update IP address application can't even find the printer when i input its static IP address. please someone help.

Thanks for your help.
I was able to find the address line and I did find the screen that allows a person to change the static IP address.
I decided not to mess with the static IP address.
Instead I moved my G router, which is in the basement to another location.
I went 10 days w/out losing printer connection to the network for 10 days.
I did not use the printer during those 10 days.
Right now, I am leaving the printer off until I used it.
I see no reason to leave the printer on for an extended period, if I'm not printing.
If I lose connection, the next time I try to print, then I will move the printer to the first floor.
Otherwise I will buy an N router.
I've been losing connection from my pc to the G router more often lately,
so maybe the router is failing.

Why does it take so long to print separate documents?

I used to have an iMac and now I have a Macbook Pro. If I try to print say 2 different pictures to my printer, It will print the first one instantly after clicking print. But than after the first is printed it'll wait a good minute or 2 before it will start printing the next document (unless I go into printing screen and exit out of last document printing which is annoying).

it also happened with the iMac..Where with other computer I have tried non mac print fine.

Why does Epson Stylus Photo PX710W Print Rubbish from Firefox

When I print from a website any pictures are fine but the text is gobbledegook. If I print directly from my PC (Word, Excel etc.) it prints perfectly. this happens whether I use the Print command from the Firefox main menu or whether I use the website print option.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I changed my printer

I disagree a bit because my Epson printer/scanner worked very well for over 3 years. It worked under Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion. But since I installed Mavericks my scanner doesn't work anymore. It's just a case that Epson is very slow in upgrading the drivers within an appropriate time on the one hand and not giving any foresight how long it takes to repair drivers on the other hand. Their website is inadequate and gives me absolute no information at all. I can understand their vision when it comes to printer/scanners which are very old i.e 10 years and mor. But not for relatively new printer/scanners.
So, if anybody can help i'll be very greatefull.
