Why does my HP photosmart say save and not print?

When I go to print on my 6700 Premium printer...the dialogue box on my iMac defaults to "save" instead of "print". How do i get the dialogue box to open to "print"?

Hi,
What application you are printing from?
Ensure the proper printer is selected.
Google Chrome as example defaults to Save as PDF and not to the HP printer, till clicking on Change button and selecting the printer.

Why does a specific website say validating and doesn't open the site for me?

why does a specific website say validating and doesnt open the site?

My Safari also has a hiccup. My ISP (comcast) helped me by suggesting I try the same task using a different browser (firefox). I had both installed, and firefox completed the task smoothly with no issues. I was told the problem was on my end and my safari browser was most likely flawed. I cannot find the procedure to uninstall & reinstall the Safari app. My iMac came with 2 discs (os & bundled apps) But the ability to choose Safari only, for this task remains illusive. Any suggestions or fixes to repair a glitch infected Safari will be appreciated.

Why does my iMessage use my email and not my phone number?

I upgraded to IOS 5 recently and my friend wondered why he had to use my email to message me and not my iPhone's number. My carrier is Verizon and I bought my iPhone 4 in January. Does anyone know how to fix this? I already have done a system restore and that did not work.

Go to Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID and select your phone number instead of your email address. If you don't see your phone number and/of you don't see the Caller ID setting, your phone number is not yet activated with the iMessage server (and you will notice that is says "waiting for activation" under iMessage).

Why does my ipod touch turn off and not turn on for a while

every once in a while my ipod touch turns off and wont turn back on for a day or two. So why does it do this, it is from over use of the ipod?

Try the following fixes in order:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod
If yo still have the problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why does the DVD player say "supported disc not available?"

So, regular DVDs will play and are recognized on my Macbook Pro, but I'm trying to play a recordings DVD (for a music literature class) and the DVD player says "supported disc not available." The DVD is supposed to work on my operating system since it's the newest one, but I don't know how to fix the problem! Please help!
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem lately. I have a mid 2010 21.5" iMac with an internal SuperDrive running Yosemite. I tried putting in "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" and "The Giver" rented from RedBox. Both spin sputter for a bit and then eject the disk back out. So, it never mounts and no software (Finder, Disk Utility, DVD Player) ever gets a chance to see it. Both play fine in a 15 year old DVD player, and my purchased copy of "The Dark Knight" mounts just fine in the iMac. So, I have to assume that something is being done to the DVD's that rental companies are given to prevent them from mounting or something.
Not having any luck on Google trying to confirm that.
I guess I need to amend this. Both DVD's play fine in a early 2011 13" Macbook Pro with the internal SuperDrive. It's running Mavericks still and has a "MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-8A8". The iMac has a "OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H". Not sure if it's the drive, the OS, or what (although I will say I'm fairly certain I was having this problem on the iMac before Yosemite, so it's probably not the OS).

Why does an error message say, you do not have the privilege to maje changes?

I tried to add a movie ti iTunes and a message came up saying I do not have the privilege to make changes. How do I get the privilege to make changes?

Solution:
Open Disk Utility.
Select your external hard disk and run a “verify” on it. After a few minutes (depending on the size of your drive), you should be good to go. You don’t need to run a “repair” on it... (at least I didn’t have to). See photo for reference.
This should fix the permissions issue, because on my Mac running Mountain Lion I was unable to edit the permissions in the get info dialog window even after "unlocking" the drive.

Why does wireless work for one laptop and not the other?

I have two laptops:
1) MacBook: 10.4.8, Airport Exteme (Firmware 1.0.46)
2) G4: 10.3.9, Airport Extreme (405.1 (3.90.0.p18)
I have the two machines sitting right next to each other in my apartment. Machine #1 has full wireless signal strength. Machine #2 barely has any wireless signal. Neither is running Interference Robustness. Any ideas why one would work and the other would not, or suggestions as to how to debug this problem?
I have tried stopping and restarting the Airport Extreme card on machine #2. I have also tried power cycling machine #2. This does not fix the problem.
A little more history: for a long time I was having problems with machine #2 dropping the wireless connection. As part of trying to work around these problems I turned on Interference Robustness on machine #2. This fixed the dropping signal problem, but left me with weak signal strength. I shut off Interference Robustnes but ever since then the signal has still been weak on machine #2.
Mac Mini Duo 1.66 GHz, 2 GB Mac OS X (10.4.6)

The base station uses a single channel which all clients must use to connect.
Have you checked the antenna connection into the card? Many people are surprised about how far the wire is actually supposed to be pushed into the card. Compare the connection with the photos in KB 108039, Properly attaching the antenna on an AirPort Extreme Card.

I have 2 ipad 2s. On the newer one I can log in and update to IOS 5 with no problem. On the older one I get the message "Your Apple ID has been disabled." Why does it work on one ipad and not on the other?

I have 2 ipad 2s. On the newer one I could log in and update to IOS 5 withno problem. On the older one I get the message "Your Apple ID has been disabled." No other explanation. Why can I log in on one ipad and I'm disabled on the other?

Well, I spoke too soon. Yes, I'm using the same account on both iPads, but I just changed my password for the umpteenth time and now I get the disabled message on both iPads. Just yesterday I was able to upgrade one to IOS 5 but got the error message on the other. I'm getting more confused by the minute.

Why does a flash show in IE and not Firefox?

The flash on the website wrrp.org does not show in Firefox and the copyright statement shows in the middle of the page when using Firefox.

There is only object code with a classid for IE and no code for Firefox. Firefox ignores code with a classid.
This should work:

Why does a CD open in Windows and not in my Mac, when in Parallels?

I might not have the correct forum here but you may be able to help. Every time I put an audio CD into my computer when I have windows open in Parallels, the CD only opens in the virtual windows. Why can't I access the CD in Finder and can I change this?
Many Thanks
Andy

Hi
I don't use Parallels, but a similar thing happens with Virtual Box. The virtual machine grabs hold of the CD and it disappears from Mac OS X. Most of the time it's what I want, but I guess if I'm playing a CD in OS X and then start up a virtual machine it could be annoying.
In Virtual Box, there's an option to turn this off so that the virtual machine doesn't see the CD - maybe if you hunt around in Parallels you'll find a similar option.

Why does safari open to top sites and not my homepage?

I recently accepted updates and now see that when safari opens it's in my top sites instead of my homepage. I checked and my homepage is still listed when I check, but why doesn't that open anymore?

Thanks Alexandria, works like it did before.
I have two other things I'm noticing now and would like to get them back like they were previously:
1) Previously when I hit the bookmarks tab it would be laid out in the whole window. When I hit it now, it's only on the left side of the screen and the top sites take up the rest of the screen. I liked it better before where I could see my bookmarks on the full screen.
2) I notice the top sites now seem smaller. Is there a way to have them the same size like they were before.
I'm new to Apple and the learning curve with this imac hasn't been easy. I like keeping up with the updates, but hate when things change and you can't figure them out. Seems like the simplest of things are so easy on a pc, but difficult on this imac.

Why does my video clip look faded and not work on my timeline?

I am making a simple short movie on my timeline. In fact, I already made it.
However, when I added a credits sequence (which used to look fine and worked normally), I ran into a problem.
Now, on my timeline, the little purple box that indicates the credis sequence is a little faded. Also, the text in the credits is inexplicably invisible, and can't be modified to any form of invisibilty.
How did I manage to create this mess, and how do I get my credits to look normal again?
-Jason Luna

Could it be that you disabled the scrolling title( I assume that is what you mean when you say "Credit sequence"). Hitting the V key when a clip/title is selected will disable it. Select it and hit V and see if it fixes your problem. If it is disabled you won't see the text.
