Why does my photos print with lines in them?

I make sure I clean my printhead, ink smear & do a printer alignment page before I print but my photos have lines or smears in them. What can I do to print nice pictures without the lines?

Pixma MG6320 - Photos print with lines at the bottom

I just setup my printer last night and tried to print some 4x6 photos. When the first photo was printing, the paper went crooked at the last inch of the paper, and it was blurry. I attempted 6 more prints, the paper stayed straight through the whole printing process but the last inch is printing blurry with lines going all across. I made sure that the paper size and type settings are correct on the printer. Has anyone had this issue? Any assitance would be appreciated!

Why does black/white print with magenta hue?

When I print black/white greyscale in Adobe Reader or Acrobat, some documents print with ghost text that appears in a light magenta. This ghost text is staggered to the bottom right of the black text.
I'm printing from Mac OS X 10.8.4, Adobe Reader 11.0.03 using an HP LaserJet 1525nw.
The left side of the image is a screen capture from the PDF and printed. The right side printed directly from the PDF.
Any ideas why this happens?

Sorry - I was able to find out how to do color calibrate. It is supposed to print a page but never did. I tried it twice. Not sure if it actually did anything. But results are the same with printing.
The printer is very low on the three color cartridges, which I don't use. It is at normal capacity on black. Even though I'm selecting to print only black/white in Reader, could the low status on the color cartridges be causes this pink hue?
I did try a pure PDF document (one that isn't a scanned print page). It printed without issue. As I mentioned above, there is something about a scanned in printed page, which causes this pink hue issue.

Why does a yield sign with an ! sign come up on some photos

why does a yield sign with an ! sign in the middle come up on some photos

That means iPhoto has broken the file path/link to the original image file. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run Option #4 to rebuild the database
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
or
Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
menu option to rebuild the library.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I have my wallpaper/screensaver pointed at my iPhoto album. why does a photo of half dome pop up occasionally? where is the photo stored?

i have an late '09 27" iMac upgraded to yosemite (I've accepted all upgrades from apple along the way). i have my alternating backgrounds & screensaver pointed at my iPhoto album. so why does a photo of half dome pop up occasionally? where is the photo stored? i have been to yosemite many times and do love the scenery there, but i'd like to be in charge of my screensaver. i've tried looking for the photo by name/name fragment, but of course, if apple doesn't want us to find it, we won't find it. i don't like apple preventing me from setting up background/screensaver to my liking. apple makes the computer for the rest of us.

You're welcome.
have you noticed for yourself if these photos are always mixed with one's selection via system preferences?
Actually no. What I have always done was this: I have a collection of custom desktop pictures I made a custom folder for the pictures & placed them inside the Machintosh>Library>Desktop Pictures folder.
Then I went into System Preferences>Desktop & Screensaver>Desktop, clicked on the plus sign to add my custom picture folder.
Restarted my comp.
Never had any issues by doing the above. I have always done it this way since the Tiger OS.

Why does a VRRP master with preemption disabled regain master state after the reboot ?

Q: Why does a VRRP master with preemption disabled regain master state after the reboot?
A: This issue is found in the following scenarios:
1. When spanning tree is disabled on either of the VRRP controllers but enabled on upstream switch(es).
2. When the controller(any one VRRP controller) and upstream device(s) run different versions of STP.
3. STP convergence time is different across the VRRP controllers.
In these scenarios, rebooted vrrp master is expected to come back as vrrp MASTER as the link takes some time to converge and fail to receive VRRP advertisement packets from its peer and may roll back to MASTER.
Trigger for this is, since STP is enabled on intermediate switch and disabled on controller, switch is taking some time ~30 secs to converge the link while port on the controller has become UP and fail-over to Master due to
not receiving VRRP advertisement packets
In all these cases, it is advised to enable holdtime to mitigate issue. Holdtime has been introduced to tackle this issue in the "preemption disabled scenario".
Configuration via CLI:
(controller) (config) #vrrp <id>
(controller) (config-vrrp)#holdtime
Description:
The VRRP virtual router does not begin listening to advertisements until the holdtime expires. If your deployment includes a VRRP master with preemption disabled and an uplink switch is running RSTP, a higher value will prevent the VRRP master from regaining the master state after it reboots.
Range: 30 - 120 seconds
Default: 45 seconds

Hey Jim,
Thanks for the follow-up. Here are some more details:
OS - 10.8.2
FCP X - 10.0.7
I can't update either of these because of my Avid installation.
Something else I didn't mention – this happens in a 4K project. Notice how a default Zoom title looks:
Lines 1 and 2 are almost stacked on top of each other.
Here's my title style:
Here's what the title looks after I apply the title style, modify Line 1, and remove the contents of Line 2:
And here's how it looks in the exported master file MOV:
Notice how it's pushed down?
Then I decided to make a 720p project. No more title problems.
So if you have some 4K footage, Jim, give it a go. Or if there's another 4K-er out there, try this and let me know.
Thanks!

Why does my photo's not email on the classic or journal view? It appears blank.

Why does my photo's not email on the classic or journal view? It appears blank and no photos are emailed. I don't want to always use the themes

Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot and the option to rebuild the small thumbnails.
Click to view full size
Now those two templates again.

Why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

Help why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

The icons in the Dock are aliases. If iPhoto isn't launching from the dock the alias may be broken. What you can do is first test to if iPhoto is working by launching the app from the Applications folder. Once you have determined iPhoto is OK then remove the old Dock icon by holding it down and dragging it to the desktop, it will disappear in a puff of smoke. Then go to the Applications folder and drag the iPhoto icon to the Dock and test it.

reboot the router (and the printer).
If still happening, check your router settings. Is it set so that the lease on the printer IP expires?
The pad has to see the printer as active, and on the same wifi network as the pad.
You might also want to see if there is a firmware update for the printer available.

Why does my Mac boot with a Grey screen and a globe?

Why does my Mac boot with a Grey screen and a globe?

Usually means you don't have a bootable system installed so the OS is looking for a bootable system on the network.
Does the computer eventually start up shortly after the globe appears? If so then open Startup Disk preferences, select your boot volume and click on the Restart button. If this is not the case then you need to reinstall Snow Leopard.
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/.
