I installed the drivers and software for my HP 2575 All-In-One printer scanner, and it worked the first time. Now, a few days later, when I bring up the HP Scan Pro, I get the following message: "Sorry, scanner could not be initialized. (Scanner not found.)" Now, the printer prints just...

Firefox now works OK (i.e.: it stays put in the dock and opens easily) but Thunderbird is driving me nuts. It simply will not stay put in the dock if I restart, or just quit using it. In the Applications folder I see the default folder for it, and I see a "Thunderbird Alias" which does...

To answer the question, it's the Mac mouse (plugs into the keyboard). I like my laser Logitech mouse better, but that is currently connected to another computer (with the USB ports well out of accessibility). The Mac mouse seems overly sensitive anyway. I am forever hitting the left button...

Just began using my new Mac Mini, but the mouse is making me crazy. It won't stay put when I try to place it on whatever I try to place it on. It often jumps off the page to someplace else on the screen. My prior optical mouse (used with XP and Linux) didn't do that. Is there a control...

Apps? Oops! (No, didn't do that. Thanks.) Barry

I recently purchased my 2nd Mac (Mini) and want to use Firefox and Thunderbird as I did with my old OS. I downloaded & installed both, but whenever I restart the computer I find one or the other is gone. Yesterday it was Thunderbird. The profile folders were where they should be but the...

Just purchased a new Mac Mini and currently setting it up. There are lots and lots of programs installed in it that I don't need and will never use. When I used to use Windows, I had to go to "Start -> Control Panel -> Remove Programs" and click on the one I wanted to remove, click on the...

Thanks for the info and the encouragement. You've confirmed what I instinctively feel, that there probably isn't any significant difference between the Windows and the Mac version. Glad to have my opinion backed by a competent authority. You (and anyone else reading this) might be interested...

I am sure this must have been asked before, but I can't find it in the list. I am finally, and once and for all, making the switch to the Mac (Mac Mini), from XP to Linux and Linux was an improvement, but not as seamless as the Mac. I am a convert. Now, the only real issue for me is...

No, there is nothing like that in my Library - I reinstalled the scanner software from its original CD and got the same result: works as a standalone, not through Photoshop.

No

Using the Nikon Super CoolScan 5000 connected to my Mac G5 using a USB connection. I can easily access the scanner using its own software (from Finder -> Applications -> Nikon Scanner) but when I try to connect to it through Photoshop I get an angry beep and a message that the scanner is not...

I really need help with setting up a network. First, I should mention that when I address the router it does display all three of my computers, so they are connected. They are cabled together, no wireless used. I got thru all of the basic setup routines so that I was able to "see" a...

I am still playing with this problem. For what it's worth: 1) if I use the Switch program to convert the WMA file in two stages, it works very well: step one is to convert the file from WMA to MP3 - that actually takes only seconds. Then convert the MP3 (which is now on the hard drive) file...

Need to add a note to this. I am attempting to copy some files from the digital recorder (WMA files) to my hard drive. The smallest of the three is 2.14 megabytes, certainly nothing so extraordinary that it's unusual, but my Mac is behaving as if it were a terrabyte size file: For the past 20...

I have a digital sound recorder that is supposed to transfer its files to a computer - I was trying to simply copy the files over to a new folder in my Mac but the copy and paste function keeps getting hung up and freezes (ghosts of Windows!), something I am not used to in my new Mac (I'm a...

sorry, mispelled word in my reply, not "toaken" should read "unknown token" Barry

I already have Stuffit Expander - when I try to open the file with it, I get another error message: "The file [epson11019.sea] does not appear to be compressed or encoded. It is advised that you obtain further information anout the contents of this file from the sender or provider of the...

I'm trying to install a printer driver for my Epson Stylus Photo 2200 printer. I downloaded a file from the Epson support site that contains the correct drivers (according to the webpage directions) which has the label: epson11019.sea I am supposed to be able to open this file by...

Ah, got it! That worked. Thanks. Barry
