Win7 no longer supports Laserjet 5 driver, need a stand-alone!

I've been using the pre-installed Windows 7 driver for over a year with my Laserjet 5 and never had a single problem (the printer is a workhorse, I don't care how old it is!)
But today I went to reinstall it to troubleshoot something only to discover that Win7 no longer supports it! But if you go to the HP drivers page to download it it just tells you that it comes already installed with Win7! http://tinyurl.com/4pglckz
So now I am stuck with no driver and no way to print, HELP!!! (We need a stand-alone driver on that page now!)

Thanks for the reply. This is simply no longer true though, that's the whole problem. Windows no longer supports those drivers (no idea why, they officially just decided not to anymore) so even though they appear on the drivers list, you get an error:
"Unable to install printer. Some driver files are missing or incorrect. Resintall the driver or try using the latest version."
That's the message form the driver that is supposed to already be installed in Windows! So yes I'd love to update or install, but I cannot unless HP provides it.

Hi, I need a stand alone suite of applications, where does one find an early version? Unless??

Hi, I need a stand alone suite of applications, CS or later, preferably later, but one that works well with either a ppc mac or an intel core2duo mac. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where the best place is to purchase an older version that will work? This is unless Adobe has allowed and defined what a year of use is, in such a way that someone who's restricted in the amount of time to use and learn the software, can purchase a years worth of use and updates and have 5yrs to use a defined year's worth of user time and all updates in that year? And once the block of time is used be able to purchase additional blocks of time. It would definitely make a sale with me if Adobe "offered" this, as I have too many responsibility restrictions to be able to learn for an extended time period in one sitting, but I do have a great desire to learn and use this software. If Adobe doesn't offer this, I hope they will in the future.
Any help would be "Greatly" Appreciated.
Thank You,
Randall

Thank you, It figures that that would be the case. Question: Where would the best place be to look for this, and what should I be aware of so as to make sure it is a working copy? I figure it won't be supported being it is old and from another party, but I do want something that "works", and something I can also get the training manuals/dvds for. I wouldn't mind the subscription option if Adobe would package a minimum amount of hours and updates that one could use in a certain length of time, say 3-5 yrs, for those who are lite users who haven't the time to totally dedicate themselves to the use and learning of the software due to their plate being full already. If one used up this block of time within a year, then the normal subscription rules would apply with unlimited use within that subscription year.
Again Thanks for your reply, it is most appreciated.

HT204057 Why does Time Machine no longer support external hard drives connected to an Airport Extreme base station?

I'm pretty sure that upto a few months ago I had a hard disk connected via USB to my Airport Extreme and I was able to backup all the computers on my home network. However, somehow over the last few months this had stopped happening. I am not able to select my network disks for time machine backup.
There is a very unhelpful sentence on Apple's website which simply says it does not allow backup to hard disks connected to Airport Extreme via USB. Does anyone know why this is? Is there a way around this? Can I connect a drive to my desktop computer and have other computers backup through the network to that?

This was never an approved configuration: OS X Mountain Lion: Disks you can use with Time Machine
Can I connect a drive to my desktop computer and have other computers backup through the network to that?
The above KB article indicates you can, though I have not personally tried it.

I have an original version of the IPad. Can this be updated or is it no longer supported. Do I need to buy an new IPad? This one still works great!

Is the original IPad still able to be updated?

If your original iPad does everything you want it to do there is no need for you to purchase a new iPad. But if you find there are apps you want to use that are not available to you because the iOS on your iPad is too low then, yes, a new iPad would solve that problem.

Do I need a stand-alone server?

Hi all. I intend to install CPS on Windows Server 2003. I
have two or three instances of Windows Server 2003 already running.
However the CPS doc states that CPS should be installed on its own
server. Is that really true? Can I just install on a production
server?

I have the CPS installed on a Windows 2003 server which runs
several other web-related applications. I think it's safe to
install on an existing production server, just bear in mind that
you'll need space for your web sites. And I’d suggest
installing Contribute 3 on the same server as you need the CPS and
Contribute 3 to administer the web sites.

Need a stand alone flash player

currently l have version 7 installed that came with Flash MX problem is on occasion l find its not up to its job..
basically put l want a more up to date version of the stand alone player so l can run files made with newer versions as the stand alone player l currently use is failing pretty badly when running some files only showing half their content.

lm not exactly authoring it came with the suite when l originally started using it, really only installed that part for the stand alone flash player.
but surely l can just install and updated stand alone flash player, all l want to do is view animations a friend of mine wanted me to try out for him. that being said l cant even seem to view them in my browsers which is weird because no one else is having any issues and my browsers flash plugins are up to date.

You can't open the application Quicken 2007 because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.

I upgraded to Mac OS X Lion and then tried to launch my Quicken 2007 for the MAC... Quicken would not start up...I received the following message "You can't open the application Quicken 2007 because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
What can I do to slvage my financial records????

It sounds like you recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion. As you have found out PPC appications such as Quicken are no longer supported. You will need to upgrade to other financial software, there are a number of them out there that will work fine on Lion. If you have a bootable clone you can boot from that and then export your Quicken data to a format most Lion finacial software can import. The software I chose is iBank which I like howevrer there are a number of other choices.
Your records are in tact and you may have to jump through some hoops to get to them but rest assured they are safely stored on your system. The file format iBank and other financial software is looking for is a .QIF so you can look on your system to see if you have .QIF already and when it is dated.
If you are interested in iBank here is a link to their Tutorials page and you will see how easy it is to import Quicken information:

Export from iMovie to stand-alone DVD hard drive

I want to preserve camcorder home movies edited in iMovie. The DVD recorded from iDVD won't play on my existing DVD player. Could I use the hard drive of a stand-alone DVD recorder/player to import from iMovie? I don't currently own one.
iMacG5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) Tapes from miniDv Canon Optura 60

A key consideration is the amount of free space on your boot hard drive. You will probably need a minimum of 15 to 20 GB to complete your project in iDVD. If you will have this amount of free space after copying over the files, go ahead.
BTW, if you plan on making several copies, make your first 'burn' to a disk image on your hard drive (it's an option under 'File' if I remember correctly).
Verify the disk image with Apple's DVD Player and then burn the copies you need with Apple's Disk Utility. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42724 and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006

Is it possible to place forward/back nav buttons in a timeline based gallery. Stand alone SWF needed.

I'm currently working on a gallery to be output as a stand-alone SWF file, and am doing it all on the timeline as I can't write actionscript for toffee
So far, I have the gallery created with alpha tweens fading between embedded images. These images are buttons, to which I have added URL links (my only foray into actionscript), which will send the user to a specific link related to the image being shown at the time. At the moment this is just a linear timeline that flows from start to finish and loops to the start again - as per most other simple timeline based animations.
I have now been asked if I can add two nav buttons (one each side of the frame) to allow the user to flip back and forth through the images. Is this possible on a timeline? And if so, how would it best be implimented? I just don't know if a button action can affect the flow of a timeline.
Ideally the gallery will auto flow, until either of the forward/back nav buttons are clicked.
Any help here would be really really appreciated.
Paul

Thanks for that Ned. I've had a quick look, and will research deeper later. Though being a complete and utter novice at actionscript, I am flummoxed by probably the simplest of stuff by your standards. For example, the scripts I saw briefly, using the searches you suggested appeared to not export a stand alone SWF file - with no XML files or image folders (I'm still to work out if is possible to do that for this particular use). Also, on all of the examples I saw, the buttons are embedded at the bottom of the pane, and I really need to put the buttons as plainly obvious clickable blobs on either side of the image area. This, again, I can easily do on a timeline (apart from actually making them work of course) but to do this with someone else's AS code, will need more time than I have to learn the relevent stuff.
Does it sound like I may have to just settle for a linear, non-interactive rotating gallery? - based on my knowledge limitations, as well as needing a stand alone SWF.

I need help setting Win7 Advanced attributes for the USB drive connected to my EA4500 router

I can drill down to the Permission Entry for [foldername] window for a folder on the USB drive. There I learn that user group Everyone does not have the Full Control permission box checked. When I check the box and then click Apply, I get an Error Applying Security window. If I click Continue there, I get a Windows Security window that says "Unable to save permission changes on [foldername]. Access is denied." with no way out but an OK button.
I have Administrative authority in Win7, but maybe I need to know some Unix voodoo to come to terms with my router-mounted drive. I put the drive on the router to make always available, and I'd like to get it to work. For example, I can't turn the archive bit off for any file or folder on that drive when it's mounted on the router. Not with ATTRIB -A and not with XCOPY /M.
Just to stuff it in my face, XCOPY /M returns a two-line error message for every sub-folder that exists in the target folder:
Access denied
Unable to create directory - foldername
Help! And thanks in advance.
:+)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Bill Dennes,
(Solutions/Work-Arounds below this paragraph, but sets up some useful information.)
As for the Security tab, I'm unsure of exactly why it doesn't appear on the tab itself for folders; however, clicking "Advanced -> Change Permissions -> Edit" will display the permissions; although, this doesn't appear to be a part of the problem in a sense. Additionally, “Everyone” always only has read & execute and is also not a part of the issue. To go further with this, the only users that have delete permission are “0” and “root” and since we can delete, we “should” be logged in as one of them and as such have “Full Control.”
As for the drive type, I'm unsure of why it "changes" it from FAT32 to NTFS (probably something to do with how it handles permissions); however, this is also not a part of the issue.
I have a flash drive formatted to FAT32, albeit only a 4GB and on an EA6500 with secure sharing enabled, that it does these both to and "xcopy testfolder Y:\ /e /m" works on it when all files and folders have the A attribute; however, disabling secure sharing makes it fail.
I’ve looked further into this and there are three ways I know of, as of right now, to make copying files with the bat file work for you:
The first way is to enable secure sharing and map the drives using it, once that is done you won’t need to enter the password again and your script will work as you currently have it coded. Given you have no need for the secure sharing, but it’s a simple solution. This is also the only way to be able to modify any attributes, although the only ones I know of that it will accept are R and A.
The second way is to instead use ROBOCOPY with the options /e, /m, and /copy:dt.
For example: "robocopy testfolder Y:\ /e /m /copy:dt"
/e = Copy subdirectories, including empty ones. (or use /S which will not copy empty folders)
/m = Copy only files with the Archive attribute and reset it.
/copy:dt = Copy data and timestamps, does not copy attributes, security, owner info, or auditing info.
The only important option to use is /copy:dt, the others can be replaced with whatever you need. Note that things like Song Author will still get copied as they are a part of the data section. I don’t believe XCOPY supports doing this, and in either case robocopy is a better solution that comes with Windows Vista and up, and can be gotten for those below Vista.
The third way is to add a section to the script to remove attributes from all folders before using xcopy to copy to the NAS, or modify the section that is causing the folders to have the A attribute as xcopy will gladly still copy them with /E or /S enabled.
The issue seems to be that when secure sharing is off, the server refuses attribute changing of folders, which is what is causing XCOPY to fail, as I suspect it attempts to change the attributes on the folders. Similarly, using robocopy without /copy:dt will also fail but gives you “Error 5 … changing file attributes [folder/path] Access is denied”. This is why I suspect that when XCOPY says “unable to create directory” that it is actually trying to change the attributes of the directory. Furthermore, it seems that the reason this works while secure sharing is on is that while it is on, the server pretends to accept the attributes but in reality ignores all attributes besides R. The server then adds the A attribute to all files put onto it, which you can only modify when secure sharing is enabled for some reason. The exception to this is that in either case, any file with the “H” (hidden) attribute, will not be copied, even if explicitly told to copy it. (This is true for both robocopy and xcopy; you also cannot manually add it afterwards.)
Is there an issue with the files on the NAS having the A attribute? If so the only way I currently know of to get rid of it is to enable secure sharing and have the script remove the attribute after copying. For example, when you look at the permissions, the user "0" and “root” have full control as I've previously stated. You can tell Windows to specifically use one of them when mapping the drive, which in turn should give you full control; however, the server still refuses modifying attributes without secure sharing on for some strange unknown reason. Although, I am no "UNIX gearhead," so there may in fact be another way that I do not know of. The only time they are not listed as “Full Control” on my end is when a file was previously marked Read-Only, in which case they all share the same limited control. When I said in the beginning that the permissions are not a part of the problem in a sense, it’s more of that for the general case of what you need to do, they aren’t the problem as long as you don't need the R attribute and having the A isn't an issue, as it seems to be more of the server is refusing attributes even though we should have permission; however, they do appear to be a bit weird and are possibly displaying incorrect when secure sharing is disabled.
I'd like to apologize in advance for any unclear, weirdly stated, or just plain odd things said in this post as I was pulled away to do a bunch of things and ended up editing, adding things, and finishing it late into the night and hope that one of the above is an acceptable resolution to your issue.

My external hard drive is no longer supported because of PowerPC app?

I am trying to back-up my computer to my external hard drive and a box is popping up saying "You can't open the application WD Backup.app because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." What does this mean? I have updated my system to Lion since my last back-up. Could this be the reason? What do I need to do?

Lion no longer supports apps that were written for PowerPC processors.
WD Backup is a utility that came with your Western Digital hard drive.

HT1338 I am trying to setup my external drive, but when I do, I get a box that pops up that says You can't open the application "LaCie Setup Assistant" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported".

When trying to setup my external hard drive, I get this box that pops up and says this:
You can’t open the application “LaCie Setup Assistant” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.

PowerPC was a type of processor used in Mac systems before Apple switched to Intel-based processors. These older chips required applications to be coded differently, to the extent that they will not run on the Intel processors in newer Macs. Apple used to include a translator that allowed these programs to at least run, but this translator is no longer available so if you run into an older PowerPC-based program then OS X will give you this error.

My HP Photosmart C4580 no longer supported by HP or Apple. How can I reinstall printer driver?

I uninstalled my HP Photosmart C4580 thinking I could reinstall from the CD that came with it only to find out that the CD doesn't cover Mavericks. HP and Apple no longer support this printer. Suggestions?

This document says the C4500 series driver is available for automatic download/install when you add the printer in Print & Scan prefs:
OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
Have you tried adding it yet?
PS - The CD is almost always outdated by the time you buy the printer. Don't bother with the CD.
