• HP 990 cm print is no longer the color since the upgrade to the new iMac with Mountain Lion

  Have an older CV (990c, m series) which worked fine on my iMac Leopard PPC (X.5.8) running.

  Since the upgrade to the new Intel iMac running Mountain Lion (the most recent software upgrades / w X.8.2) this printer will print only in black and white, despite having new color and cartridges inkjet black installed - even the test pattern that prints automatically when I changed the print cartridges only in B & W.

  The detailed print dialog box that appears when I try to print a color page does not include the usual option to print in color.

  I think that HP is no longer provides this older printer drivers but guess they are in the software updates in Mac OS.

  Someone has an idea how I can fix it, or is it just time to recycle this printer and buy a new one?

  TIA

• Upgrade to the Mavericks without new installation Mountain Lion?

  Hi guys,.

  I'm looking to upgrade my Mac to the Mavericks Mountain Lion (I do not want to Yosemite or El Capitan again that not all my software is fully compatible), but I was wondering if it was possible to not have to do a clean install, but just upgrade?  I know it was an option when Mavericks was the current OSX, but don't know if it's feasible now.

  I have the installation of the Mavericks.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you!!

  James

  Yes. Install it normally.

• Problems after upgrade to Mountain Lion?

  Full of history of BONE: I have an iMac (early 2009 I think) that came with Leopard.  Only 2 days ago did I'm ready to upgrade!  So my Snow Leopard s/w package installed.  So bought the APP store Mountain Lion & installed today.  Now on OS X 10.8.5

  Works great except one problem - Facebook is messed up!  Most of my "task buttons" (as the arrow pointing down in the upper R hand corner) does not work!  (Which means I can't send a msg HELP FB.)  It seems that FB does not 'recognize' my mouse.

  It is an plugin Apple Magic Mouse, model A1152, EMC No. 2058.  Went to 'Apple' support to see if there was an update of the driver but it seems that they are only available in wireless versions.

  Help!

  Hello Catherine.

  Although it may not solve your problem of mouse/FB directly, there are a few things you could try.  Your iMac is probably mid-2007 if it was supplied with Leopard.  You approached support FB.  The shoe is generally on the service rather than the manufacturer of the item.

  There is also an update of Combo for Mountain Lion.  You need to download that from this link...

  https://support.Apple.com/kb/dl1676?locale=en_GB

  And finally, have you checked that you have enough memory RAM.  Your machine probably came with 4 GB if Mountain Lion would work better with 6 GB.  You can run 6 GB with this iMac.    I have the same (even if no account of Face Book) and even if Apple specifies a maximum of 4 GB, I and many others, use 6 GB comfortably...

  You can go to depends on what your model is compatible with. You cannot install Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite because they are no longer available.

  Upgrade to El Capitan

  You can pass the Lion El Capitan or directly from Snow Leopard. El Capitan can be downloaded for FREE from the Mac App Store.

  Upgrade to El Capitan

  To upgrade to El Capitan, you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or installed Lion. Download El Capitan from the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID. El Capitan is free. The file is big enough, more than 5 GB, allow it some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  Mac that can be upgraded to OS X El Capitan

  1 iMac (mid-2007 or newer) - model identifier 7.1 or later

  2 MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium) - model identifier 5.1 or later

  3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

  4 MacBook Air (late 2008 or newer)- model identifier 2.1 or later

  5 mac mini (early 2009 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

  6 mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

  7 Xserve (early 2009) - model identifier 3.1 or later version

  To find the identifier of the model open system information in the Utilities folder. It is displayed in the Panel on the right.

  My applications are compatible?

  See table of application - RoaringApps compatibility

  Upgrade to Lion

  If your computer does not meet the requirements to install the Mavericks, it can still meet the specifications to install Lion.

  You can buy Lion to the Apple store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus taxes.  It's a download. You will receive an email with a redemption code that you then use on the Mac App Store for download Lion. Save a copy of this installer to your download folder because Setup deletes itself at the end of the installation.

  Lion system requirements

  1 mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,

  or Xeon processor

  2. 2 GB of memory

  3 OS X 10.6.6 or later (10.6.8) recommended

  4. 7 GB of available space

  5. certain features require an Apple ID; conditions apply.

• Can I put the Mountain Lion Snow Leopard?  Where can I download Mountain Lion?

  Can I put the Mountain Lion Snow Leopard?  Where can I download Mountain Lion?  I don't wan to upgrade all the way to El Capitan.  Some of my software may not be compatible.

  http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/D6377Z/A/OS-x-mountain-lion

  You should have a complete backup of your system before performing an upgrade. Given that, we risk minimum trying to El Capitan before adopting it. Instead of spending $20 on the Mountain Lion, when El Capitan is much higher.

  There are not many apps running in Cougar and El Capitan.

Note that all computers become slower over time even in the normal conditions of use. Generally, the experienced users erasing the hard drive and do a clean install from scratch at least once a year or every time that the installation of a major upgrade of the OS. Well sure doing so also means that you need to maintain regular and several backups.

If THE reports any errors that have been corrected, and then run repair disk again until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, click repair permissions. Wait until the operation is complete, then exit FROM and return to the installer.

  Restart your computer normally and see if it helped at all. Then do little maintenance:

  For disk utility can't handle situations, the best third party is Disk Warriorutility;  Fixed DW only for problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by the corruption of directory; Warrior drive 4.x is now compatible with Intel Mac.

  Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will boot Mac running Snow Leopard or earlier. He cannot start Mac that came with Lion or later preinstalled, however, DW will work on these models.

  Suggestions for OS X maintenance

  OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are supposed to take place on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Maintenance scripts that are run at the beginning AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep). If this isn't the case, then a great solution is to download and install a shareware like Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacronor Anacron utility that will automate the maintenance regardless of whether activity if the computer is off or asleep.  Dependence on third-party utilities to run periodic maintenance scripts has been significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have little or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later version, and must not be installed.

  OS X automatically defrags files smaller than 20 MB in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files it little need to defragment the hard drive.

  Under no circumstances should you install operating MacPaw or ZeoBit software (CleanMyMac/CleanMyDrive or Mac Keeper, respectively.) You don't need special software to keep your computer.

  Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If it stops your problem, then re-enable one by one until the problem returns. Now remove this extension as it is the origin of the problem.

  The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

  Difficulty a few pop ups browser that supported Safari

  Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

  Quit Safari

  Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

  Relaunch Safari

  If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

  It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

  An excellent link to read is Tom Reed Mac Guide of malicious programs.

  Also, visit the FAQ XLab and read of detection and avoid malicious software and spyware.

  If you need antivirus protection Thomas Reed recommends to use ClamXAV. (Thanks to Thomas Reed to this recommendation.)

  The user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:

  The facts are:

  1. There is no anti-malware software can detect 100% of malware out there.

  2. There is no anti-malware that can detect all targeting the Mac.

  3. the best way to prevent breaches the most is for you as the user is aware that

  the most successful malware attacks rely on sophisticated social engineering

  techniques preying on human greed, * and fear.

  4 Internet pop-up windows telling the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on

  your computer is designed to trick you into installing their malware thinking it's a

  protection against malware.

  5. some of the anti-malware market products are worse than malware

  go where they are supposed to protect you.

  6. be careful where you go on the internet.

  7. don't download anything from sites, you know are safe.

  8 avoid links that you receive in email, always be wary, even if you get something

  you think a friend is, but that you did not expect.

  9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume that it is malware.

  Troubleshooting Applications

  I recommend that you download a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaneror hiding a Cocktail that you can use to delete the former newspapers and archives, cleaning, etc. Corrupted cache, logs or temporary files can slow down the application or OS X crashes and panics of the kernel.

  If you have leopard snow or leopard, then for similar repairs install Applejackfreeware utility.  If you do not start in OS X, you can boot into single-user mode , where you can run Applejack to make a set of routines for repair and maintenance of the command line.  Note that it takes 1.5 AppleJack for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later versions.

  Basic backup

  For some people, Time Machine will be more than enough. Time Machine is part of Mac OS X. There are two components:

  1. a panel of Time Machine preferences as part of the system of preferences;

  2. a request for Time Machine, located in the Applications folder. It's

  used to manage backups and restore backups. Time Machine

  requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the

  drive being backed up.

  You can also get an external drive at least equal to the size hard disk internal and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the disk utility's restore option. You can also create and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (the order is not significant):

  1 Carbon Copy clone

  2. get backup

  3 already seen

  4 superDuper!

  5. Synk Pro

  6. Tri-Backup

  Visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the backup and restore.  Also read How to back up and restore your files. For using Time Machine, visit FAQ Time Machine of Pondini for help with all this time Machine.

  Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate .

  Additional tips

  Make sure you have a sufficient amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run simultaneously. Make sure to leave a minimum of 10% of the capacity of the hard disk as free space.

  Add more RAM. If your computer less than 2 GB of RAM and you use OS X Leopard or later, then you can do it with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion works much better with 4 GB of RAM that is their system. Most concurrent applications, that you tend to use the more RAM you should have.

  Always have at least 15 GB, or 10% of the capacity of your hard disk as free space, the largest. OS X frequently accesses your hard disk, so offering enough free space will keep things slow down.

  Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:

  Before Mavericks

  Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the drop process .  Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

  Mavericks and later versions

  Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the menu display .  Click the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

  This problem occurs often because of a corrupted cache or the preferences file or an attempt to write in a corrupted log file.

• Dare I upgrade to El Capitan of Mountain Lion.

  The reason why I'm hesitant is when I upgraded to Mountain Lion, the computer had to be cleared and all re-installed.   It was probably 40 hours after more than a month of work with tech support and that was the final solution only.

  Just upgrade through the App store, it's an automatic process and all of your software will be safe. Good luck, the new OS X is a little different but just as powerful.
