must force preferences to quit when I selected printers

Cannot print, the force must stop smoking.  In the preferences so I chose printers and scanners of the preferred app breaks down and still must force quit.  Everything works fine in Safe Mode.  Started with the last update to El Capitan.  Ideas?  Harry

Hi Harry,.

Thank you for contributing to the communities of Apple Support.

It seems that your Mac stops responding when you try to print or access the printer in system preferences.

I would recommend booting in SafeMode (since all works well here) and the removal of printer in System Preferences. Then restart normally and add printers.

To help complete these steps (and what to try next if this does not solve it), you can follow the guide in the section "If you have another question of printing" to get help to solve the problems of printer on your Mac.

Sincerely.

    Hello

    Please make sure that you work in 8 bits/channel and RGB mode. (Under Image > Mode > Select RGB and 8-bit per channel) lightning effects only works in this mode.

    Also in preferences > Performance > "Use Graphics Processor" must be checked.

  • Can you change all the functionality of the tags to the way it was? Once I have mark a mail, I don't like it so appears as black text when I select the tagged email.

    The use of tags is the best way to know which emails I have completed action on. Now when I select an email, it appears in black instead of the selected color of the tag that I assigned. It's very confusing. I make sure that I don't have the selected e-mail to make sure that I have tagged it. This is not good. It takes additional measures and I find myself double checking of things all the time. It's a lot of time. I love Thunderbird, but this feature on the most recent update has to go. Please change back.

    something nonstandard here.

    The text of the selected item must be the opposite of not selected, so if the normal text is black, labeled selected item should be white.selected text see the image as an attachment.

  • I have 2 messages in mail, when I select mail crashes

    I have 2 messages in my Inbox of mail that says that Norton are infected. When I select one or the other to delete mail goes down. How can I remove them? I would go in the user library > mail > etc if I knew where to find the correct messages.  Navigate to the folder library of Mail is not clear. Norton does not put messages in his "quarantine of foder.

    It's a false alarm or a Windows malware attachment in email (a common occurrence for most users of e-mail). No one can hurt you, and you don't need to do anything. Just do not pass to someone else.

    You have no need to do is get rid of your worthless software, time-wasting "anti-virus" (AV). All these software are worse than useless.

    Malware Windows is so widespread that you must assume that it is in each attachment until proof to the contrary. If you are just curious to know if a file is recognized as malware by the AV engines, you can download it from the "VirusTotal" site, where it will be tested against most of them. I do not recommend doing this with a file that may contain private information. A negative result is no evidence of anything either, because the AV software is not reliable.

    Never leave any AV software remove or 'quarantine' send messages or attachments. This will damage the messaging database.

    Please remove the Norton/Symantec products in accordance with these instructions. If you have a different version of the product, the steps may be different. If you have tried to remove it by dragging an application to the trash, reinstall it and finish the job.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Never install any product "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" again.

    I have a Mac Book Air of 2015 running El Captain I see the airplay icon in my menu bar and I've upgraded to the latest version of the software on my AppleTV 2, but I can't get the Airpay icon on the menu bar of my mac to turn blue when I select the apple TV connected to a HD from LG smart TV. Help!

    Hi, Arghbee1.

    Please visit Apple support communities.

    I understand that you are unable to AirPlay from your Mac to your Apple TV.  Here are some troubleshooting steps that I recommend to go through this problem.

    Get help

    If you do not see the AirPlay icon , make sure that your Apple TV is awake and that it meets the system requirements.

    If you do not see your Apple TV in the AirPlay menu, make sure that your Mac and Apple TV comply with the system requirementsand your software from the Apple TV is updated. Also check your firewall settings:

    1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click the Firewall tab.
    2. Click the lock icon and enter an administrator name and password.
    3. Click Firewall Options.
    4. Deselect the option "block all incoming connections".
    5. Select the option "automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections.

    If your office does not look great on your HDTV, high-definition TV could apply image quality improvements that are not the best for the computer images. Check the manual of your HDTV for more information on how to adjust your HDTV settings for use with a computer. Your HD TV could offer a more appropriate display mode, such as the computer or game mode mode. Also try adjusting the HDTV settings like sharpness, retail building and noise reduction.

    If you mirror your screen and the image correspond to your HDTV screen, you can adjust the size of the Office for the best image. Click the AirPlay icon, and then select an option under "game size desk to." If you fit to desktop size to your Apple TV, the image fills the screen HDTV but will not look as good on your Mac screen. Learn more about overscan and underscan and what you can do about it.

    If AirPlay disconnects itself, your wireless network can be too busy or have too many wireless interference to maintain the connection of the antenna. Learn how to solve the problems of Wi-Fi connectivity. The manual of your router network may have additional suggestions for maintaining a strong and fast connection with your devices.

    Use AirPlay to view a video of your Mac on a HDTV

  • in InDesign CS6 text appears white when I select the text... :(

    For some time in InDesign CS6 text appears white when I select the text. And remains white when I it deselect.

    It is necessary to another page, higher or lower, to have the text re-appear.

    Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

    InDesign 8.1.0.419

    Adobe fonts

    If anyone has an idea...

    PS Yes:

    -J' cleaned out font caches

    -J' deleted Indesign preferences

    If you mean that the text seems to disappear, then it seems to be a relatively common problem with CS6 in El Capitan.

    I use CS6 with El Capitan and you encounter this problem sometimes. It happens constantly some days and other days not at all, but I've never established exactly what triggers it.

    As Bob says, CS6 is not supported, so it will not be a solution, but if this is the problem that you are experiencing then tap the display between 'Preview' and 'normal' pressing 'w' will fix it - temporarily.
