Why won't OS 10.4 remember printer after restart?

Ever since I upgraded from 10.3 to 10.4, my desktop computer will not remember my printer or my DLink wireless system. I have to reset my printer settings each time, and reconfigure my network/wireless settings. This occurs only on my desktop G-4, not my laptop G-4.

It could be a permissions problem. So try repair permissions with the Disk Utility. It could also be a problem with a preference file. There is a freeware utility called Preferential Treatment which tests all your preference files. If you are connecting to the router wirelessly, you might check that your network is actually a preferred network to join, and also lock your network settings.
Good luck!

Why won't my jewel case inserts print properly?

Why won't my jewel case inserts print properly?

That's exactly what's happening with me as well. Evidently a recent iTunes update caused the problem, which is with version 11.0.2.26. Since I asked my question I found a thread on the same topic that is six pages and started last December. Apparently Apple became aware of the problem initially, sent an update that fixed it, then updated again recently without the fix. Maybe they'll get around to fixing it again soon. Check out this thread. One guy posted a picture of exactly what we're talking about:

Why won't my imac email send unless I restart the whole computer?

why won't my imac email send unless I restart the whole computer?

Two things, first see if it shows up in "Apple > About This Mac > More Info.. > Disc Burning" . If you still see it there the system still recognizes it but it isn't responding. Next do a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
Hopefully this will reset the power to the drive.

Hi;
This FAQ should describe the issue - you need to be using Adobe Reader (free) or Adobe Acrobat to fill out the PDF, Preview on the Mac breaks the PDF so it is no longer usable: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2653

Why won't my line spacing change even after I change the # in the leading panel

why won't my line spacing change even after I change the # in the leading pane

Is this for text you've already typed? Did you select it first? If that's not it, for PSE 11 and 12 go to the far right of the tool options, click the four-lined square and choose Reset Tool. For PSE 10 and earlier go to the far left options bar, click the tiny triangle (or the tool icon for really old versions) and choose Reset Tool.

Why won't my Time capsule power on after shutting itself down?

Why won't my Time capsule power on after shutting itself down?

Suggest that you unplug the Time Capsule from the power cord and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. Verify that the AC wall socket has power by testing another device like a lamp there.
Try to power the Time Capsule back up.
If it will not power up, unfortunately there has likely been a failure in the power supply section of the Time Capsule.
You will need to take the Time Capsule to an Apple store....if you have one near you....or contact Apple Support directly to go over your options.

Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

I'm confirming that after trying several other ideas, the steps outlined here by S.E.A. and Amelia P. worked perfectly. For those of you having problems with certain songs not playing, or the wrong song playing, follow their "unsynch" "resynch" process. A few notes:
Before starting, I was confident that iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, and Mac OS X 10.7.2 were all up-to-date and functioning correctly.
After selecting my Device in iTunes (an iPhone 4S in my case), then selecting the "Music" tab and unchecking "Sync Music", be sure that it actually Applies the new settings (force a synch to be sure).
After this step, most of the songs disappeared from my device (including all of the corrupted ones) but not all songs (perhaps it left those that I purchased directly on the device?). In any case, don't worry about these. Just re-check the boxes you unchecked and then be sure to force a synch again. It should take a while to complete if you've got a lot of music.
Perfection!

Why won't my airport express turn on after thunder storm ?

Why won't my airport express turn on?

There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default. It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence. Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.
If none of the above helps, you may well have a harware problem.

Why won't Mac App Store remember my password? + Other Issues

It's infuriating that whenever I want to: install something I've bought, buy something, or something else, it asks (yet again) for my pwd. Is there some way to tell this ******** app to forever remember my pwd?* Also, a few wks back (not longer after I'd finished a completely fresh install of OSX 10.8.5) all the apps in the "purchased" section had a little "x" next to them. Stupidly I pressed that x on one or more of them, & bizarrely the apps forever disappeared, what happened to those purchased apps of mine?
Also, in the purchased apps section it's claiming that a number of the apps are "installed", again it's ******** because I've not installed those apps on this new env! So, how do I get access to those apps via the Store? Also, GarageBand/iMovie/iPhoto they're all stock apps, right? Why when I search in Spotlight aren't they showing-up on my system volume? Instead they're only showing-up on my attached external HDD, which has a CCC backup of my prior env/install. of OSX. Same for 2 other non-stock purchased apps (Pocket/Trillian), they're showing-up in the CCC backup volume, so Mac Store thinks they're "installed". Three other purchased apps (Airmail/TweetDeck/Wunderlist) I was given the option to install or update (can't recall), so they're now in my new OSX env. Finally, why is it showing stock apps in the "purchased" section, I did not purchase those apps, they came with OSX, which came with my laptop!
Any help on one or all of these points would greatly appreciated, all the best!
*While we're at it, can the same thing be done for iTunes? It does the same kind of infuriating stuff

It's infuriating that whenever I want to: install something I've bought, buy something, or something else, it asks (yet again) for my pwd. Is there some way to tell this ******** app to forever remember my pwd?
Based on this over-the-top post, it's obvious that you would also be here badmouthing and blaming Apple when the app remembered your password and a friend or aquiantance bought content using your account. The password is your security that no one can hack your account, on your Mac or from someone else's Mac.* Only someone very shortsighted would want to hack the security. Your password is usually good for 15 minutes. During that time period you can make purchases without having to re-enter the password. When the clock has ticked down the password is required again.
Also, a few wks back (not longer after I'd finished a completely fresh install of OSX 10.8.5) all the apps in the "purchased" section had a little "x" next to them. Stupidly I pressed that x on one or more of them, & bizarrely the apps forever disappeared, what happened to those purchased apps of mine?
You hid the apps, they can be unhidden.

1. The Mac App Store (MAS) can see it's apps on the external HDD because the MAS uses Spotlight to know what's installed on your Mac. So if you want to solve this issue, temporarily unmount the backup drives so the MAS doesn't see the installed apps.
2. The iLife apps are not "stock apps" they are a suite of apps that Apple is giving to you for free with the purchase of a new Mac. They are sold in the MAS. "Stock apps" are installed and updated with OS X, they are not sold in the MAS and do not appear on your Purchases list. The iLife apps are not stock apps, which is why they show up in your MAS Purchased list, otherwise you would never be able to update them.
3. You were obviously given the chance to "update" those 3 apps that were installed on your backup drives, which is why you now have the most recent version of them on your new Mac.
*iTunes and the Mac App Store use the same account. Both apps have the same password security protocol.

Why won't my officejet 4500 wireless print from microsoft word or excel?

My new officejet 4500 wireless printer will not print from microsoft word or excel. The paper goes through the printer but there is nothing printed on it.

Hello.
It seems like the black cartridge could be running out of ink. Since most of what is commonly printed from MS word and excel might be black text, this is the first reason I can figure out why your printer is not printing only from these applications.
Check this document to see if your printer is performing good and to check if ink is coming out from all of the cartridges.
Cheers.

Why won't my iPhone 4s remember my home wifi connection?

My iPhone 4s connects to wifi but doesn't remember the connection. How can I get it to remember after shutting it off?
It's pretty frustrating because I just got it and was downloading apps. I came home and connected to the wifi(we have no password) and it showed I was connected I put it in sleep mode and an hour later got an email 90% of my AT&T data had been used of my 2 gb plan when yesterday I was only at 65%. Sure enough my iPhone said 4g and not wifi. I connected easily enough again to my network but occasionally is not connected after coming from sleep mode and never connected when restarting the phone. Any ideas? The phone also doesn't have a "forget this network option" listed.
Thanks for any help.
Jim

My Issue was exatly as described above at start of thread. I had my network set to "Linksys" now a unique name and....
This was exactly my issue, iphone began to remember the password. I previously didn't have the "Forget" button on the setting page, now it is there and connect automatically.
Thanks, for some good advice.

Why won't my highlighting on text print? running reader X10.1.2

I hightighted a document to be shared at a conference; however, the highlighting throughout the document will not appear on the printed copy??

I assume that you are using the Highlight tool (in the Comment Panel on the right) to highlight the text.
You can chose to print the same by ensuring that the "Comments & Forms" dropdown value is selected as "Documents and Markups" in the Print Dialog.
