Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

I have the latest operating system, but can't get my printers added. Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

It's pretty difficult to offer suggestions when you say nothing about your Mac, the version of Mac OS it's running, or the models of printers you have. This forum, however, is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, so unless you are asking about an very old Mac, this is not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the forum for your model of Mac or version of Mac OS X it's running. You'll be more likely to get assistance there, assuming you provide sufficient detail for anyone to make a diagnosis of the problem.
Regards.

  • Just given an iMac air for gift...always been a pc user. i migrated from my pc but can't find the docs on my imac

    I just received an ima air as a gift.  I have been a PC user in the past.  I migrated my files from the PC but cannot find them on the imac.  Also, is it reommended to use a second anti-virus program  and is safari the best or is google chrome better. 

    To find your documents open Finder, it's the leftmost icon on the dock ( a blue/white face) - it's the Mac equivalent of Windows Explorer and allows you to browse your hard-drive and create a folder hierarchy.
    You don't need antivirus on a Mac, not a first nor a second!
    Safari is as good as it gets.
    Hope this helps, good luck with your new Mac!!!!

  • Why does my cellphone keep saying that estimating time remaining when I try to upgrade the system?

    Why does my cellphone keep saying that "estimating time remaining" when I try to upgrade the system?
    Is there anyway to fix this situation?

    Hi Eric_Sun,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to update your iPhone using iTunes on a computer if your device only shows "estimating time remaining" when you try to update wirelessly:
    If you can’t update wirelessly, or if you want to update with iTunes, follow these steps:
    If you use your device's Personal Hotspot for your computer's Internet connection, update your device wirelessly or connect your computer to another network.
    Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
    Plug in your device to your computer.
    In iTunes, select your device.
    In the Summary pane, click Check for Update.
    Click Download and Update.
    If you see an error message while updating your device, you can learn how to resolve iOS update errors in iTunes.
    You can find these steps here:

  • HT5085 I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list.  I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

    I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list.  I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

    Have you deleted anything from your iTunes library ? Have you checked to see if they are still on your computer, but not listed in your iTunes library ?
    If not then do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If they don't show there and others do and they are still in your country's store, then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If they are no longer in your store for redownloading (or you aren't in a country where music videos can be redownloaded) then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your library/downloads.

  • I have created some movies using After Effects but can't open them now because I get the following message:

    I have created some movies using After Effects but can't open them now because I get the following message:
    Ray-tracing on the GPU requires an approved NVIDIA graphics card and CUDA 5.0 or later. For now, ray-tracing will use the GPU.
    After installing CUDA 5.0 or later, restart your computer.
    For more information see: http//www.adobe.com/go/aeraytracedgpu
    HELP. I have a project that needs to be delivered.

    The alert message is just telling you that a specific feature won't use the GPU. This message is innocuous. It only means that the processing of one specific, obsolete feature will use the CPU, not the GPU.
    Are you saying that After Effects won't start or open your project?

    By all means get iLife but just for the record you don't HAVE to use Apple's photo application;
    there are many more around, quite a lot of them free.
    This http://download.cnet.com/mac/digital-photo-software/?tag=rb_content;main
    is a good site to look through for candidates - some will be  free some  shareware and some paid for.
    Alternatively Kodak provides free photo software - navigate through this site to what's right for you:

  • I need to use sigma plot in my Mac, does any one has a good advise for alternatives. If not, will it be ok to install windows in my mac?

    I need to use sigma plot in my Mac, does any one has a good advise for alternatives. If not, will it be ok to install windows in my mac?

    See if Deltagraph is still around.  We used to use that for plotting scientific data on Macs.  I don't know if it is at all transferrable with Sigmaplot if you have a colleague who uses it, but if you're doing this on your own I would look at getting DG vs, doing a dual boot  etc.

    I'm tring to install a d2 quadra external drive but can't use the setup assistant because "PowerPC Applications are no longer supported". Anyone have any ideas?

    You shouldn't need to install anything just to use the drive. Just connect it to your Mac and it should mount. If it's the Intego Backup Assistant you're trying to install, try the latest version which you can download here:

  • Why does it just keep saying "Downloading Firefox" for hours?

    I am downloading from Explorer. It just keeps saying Downloading Firefox after I double click on the installer. It goes on for hours and hours. It is ironic that it tells me that "you're about to enjoy the very latest in speed, flexibility and security so you're always in control." Please help.

    That's a hard question to answer, since it could be a particular download server at fault, or maybe your security software.
