How can I print in 10.7 w/o wasting all my ink?


since getting our new imac w/ 10.7, our printer has not been same...

reason, when attempting print in fast draft, not print everything. instance, google maps or mapquest, printer images , borders. same else. borders, no text. printed return label, , printed barcode - no address, no rma number.

now... if switch 'plain paper, best' works. however, absolutely destroys our ink supply, can imagine.

btw, have attempted using http://localhost:631/ change default settings. not change default settings, no matter do. *shrug*

-- hp photosmart c4640 --
 

did check if there's updated lion driver printer?

Wifi connectivity of 4G versus WiFi-only iPads


ok, i've rationalized keeping wifi ipad , returning 4g one. logic use @ home , work , don't want pay multiple cellular connections. surely own 4g enabled phone (either samsung galaxy s3 or iphone 5 if display stops being tiny) in summer, , plan instead rue chase tethering plan it. also, 4g ipad has noticeable background bleeding on 1 side wifi version doesn't have.

anyway, while using wifi-only version evening noticed connection intermittent , varies between 1 bar , 3 bars while i'm sitting in exact same location of our house. actual network speed seems vary accordingly. never noticed behavior 4g enabled ipad i've been using on last 10 days.

i've read of people having problems wifi on models, didn't see discussion of possible correlation between model , connection issues, i.e. in particular whether 4g model had issues , wifi 1 didn't, or vice versa.

furthermore, wonder whether fact 4g model has plastic bar on top of case affects wifi reception extent? looking @ ifixit tear down seems if wifi , 4g antennas sitting close inside ipad, not clear whether either of them sits near plastic bar. find hard interpret pictures ifixit posted.

can shed light on this?
 

i had both wifi , verizon ipad 3 , lte ipad consistently had better wifi signal. helped in use case scenarios because 1 of couches sit in when use ipad far airport extreme. lte ipad had no problem getting decent signal , bandwidth while wifi worked intermittently @ location.

i know atv 2 able decode , play 1080p files befor today, , know output limited 720p, playing around recent update downloading prior purchase made (monsters inc) compare 1080 version 720p. first off, @ least title, encoding better. bitrate 25% higher pq better. mediainfo stats encoding high profile/cabac , shows.

here's thing. have lot of bluray rips, , few of them remuxed m4v file itunes try out on atv. no reencoding video @ all. have lot of 1080 high profile encodes out of imovie. prior today atv try best play them , error out. ona whim tried playing them again after update and they're smooth. i'm talking full bluray of hugo, 30gb file or whatever, , plays ipad 2. did stop buffer--i'm going switch ethernet , see--but unexpected surprise. else have try?
 

i don't doubt @ all. apple tv 2 has had enough power able playback 1080p, apple has never allowed it. if old 3gs can it, can a4 powered apple tv 2. glad see they've made more optimisations.

make backup first (!!!) start computer sl's dvd , fire disk utility there. click on hard drive (not volume, drive itself, should on top of list on left pane). click on "partition" tab on right. see large picture represents drive partition map. click on small "+" under map. create new partition. can drag edge of new partition resize it. give name , click "apply". partition drive. install sl on it. might sound little tricky on words quite easy.

User Setup Issue?


i lost hard drive , when reset had issues name vendor used user name. added added name , deleted old one, may of been mistake. when under user name (name next house icon), see different folder structure have on mac pro. example missing library folder etc. have application folder won't open up.

how repair that?
 

first of all, don't go around deleting things unless have to. if folder deleted home folder of admin account, might have gone far , might facing "wipe , install" situation. precaution, pick trash , restore have deleted far if haven't emptied trash.

here procedure have used making new "owner" account...

1 - create new user
2 - make user admin
3 - log in new admin user
4 - only if absolutely necessary, delete old admin user , only if absolutely necessary delete old home folder
5 - optionally, create non-admin user "every day user" of machine , avoid logging in admin user

must admit have done step 5 wife's machine. find works best avoid having admin no password , ease of use don't have password set account.

Loud chirp, even when turned off


i've been using macbook air 8 months (it purchased in late 2010, hence no more warranty, , given me gift), , last weekend, started chirping seemingly randomly, seemingly coming motherboard, totally independent of volume control. when happens, chirps precisely every 30 seconds, stops chirping after 1 or 2 chirp, after 10 minutes.

have searched high , low on net mac chirp/beep, listened mac beeps on youtube, etc. , mine doesn't sound of them. it's extremely loud, , chirp short. can't remember doing first time chirped. while thought usage related, can't identify specific program/files, realized chirping during hibernation, , when computer turned off power adapter unplugged!!:eek:

ran disk utility , hardware check , such , fine. took apple genius bar, , genius totally baffled whole situation , why beep when computer off. ran quick , dirty checks there , in working order. , of course while there computer refused make single beep... didn't think "serious", suggested leave computer overnight , have them stress-test it. didn't because i'm rather reliant on mac , since still worked figured i'd wait out , see.

on past week, chirping seems have increased in frequency. today when came home darn thing chirping (while turned off) , hasn't stopped chirping since turned on, 20min , counting , it's still chirping every 30 seconds. think longest has chirped. computer runs absolutely fine, no error messages, no random shutdowns of programs, nothing. except annoying chirp.

help/suggestion appreciated.
 

it makes noise in rooms? (i ask because maybe else in room...smoke alarm?)

maybe try draining battery , no ac , see if still does...

when connect vpn server windows using cisco vpn client works fine.

might problem?
 

i notice local subnet (192.168.1.x) conflicts entry on vpn. i'm surprised vpn provider tunnelling both 172.16 , 192.168 networks.

option, appears, use 10.x.y.z subnet doesn't conflict, such 10.200.1.x.

Magic Mouse Scrolling Stopped working on iMac


hello everyone, have weird problem.
went on vacation on 23.12. shut down mac , worked fine. came 7 days later. started mac , magic mouse stopped scrolling.
no vertical scrolling, no horizontal scrolling no changing between pages single finger swipes. smart zoom , double finger tipping , double finger swiping dashboard mission control still works.

did till now:
rebooting, deleting com.apple.systempreferences.plist +reboot, deleting com.apple.driver.applebluetoothmultitouch.mouse.plist + reboot, making new account try in.
nothing of worked
yesterday did recovery installation of lion. inside recovery program scrolling worked again, after installation worked too. today launched mac , stopped working again.
here on did following
rebooting, deleting com.apple.systempreferences.plist +reboot, deleting com.apple.driver.applebluetoothmultitouch.mouse.plist + reboot, installed magicprefs , activated vertical scrolling in there

didn't help, still not working. added files how mouse preferences , magicpref preferences look. seems me first 1 doesn't should.



got imac27 mid 2011 lion preinstalled. worked fine apart mouse disconnecting not worried
 

attached files:

do happen live somewhere hot and/or humid? magic mouse has done in philippines, has never done in alaska, wondered if might triggered heat, humidity, or excess of sweat messing touch sensors.

AT&T iPhone sim in an iPad LTE, do you get LTE data?


i have verizon ipad at&t iphone. know if put at&t sim in vzw ipad hspa+ speeds. if had bought at&t ipad lte? iphone sim still support lte? best guess , logic tells me yes, i'm not sure , can't conduct test.

wouldn't more worthwhile don't pay 2 separate bills? of course barring you're screwed phone calls when have iphone sim in ipad.

thought...
 

if did work, you'll need switch data plan 4g lte plan in order see lte logo @ top. requires call customer service (unlimited plans only; online tier plans) , need imei of 1 of at&t's 4g lte phones. regardless, not know of work. think there have been mixed results.

How do I delete songs from iPad?


i have ipad 3 , itunes match. ios 5.1 want able delete songs ipad after they've been streamed there match.

can delete them swiping finger left on specific song. however, have 20,000+ songs in match library. when using ipad, finding songs have been stored (rather still being in cloud) take years. 20k songs show on ipad, though stored on ipad itself. others have cloud download symbol. can't find way sort locally stored. if knows how using ipad alone helpful. can see sorting album, artist, songs , playlist.

searched online none of suggestions worked. here's tried:

in itunes (on computer) set option "manually manage videos". don't have option showing songs when uncheck videos option mention music. have checked "sync checked songs and.." missing @ stage? did click "apply"

click on grey triangle of left next ipad, under "devices", in itunes , select music. can see songs stored locally. highlight song, right click, select "delete" , nothing happens. same non-result when highlight song , use "edit" function @ top , select "delete". nothing happens. if swipe , delete song on ipad disappear list on itunes.

suggestions found online seemed think method should work. idea why isn't working me?

edit: spent 30 minutes apple support on phone, numerous breaks guy check higher tech, no joy. suggestion manual swipe on ipad itself, unacceptable. have spend hours searching songs individually , swiping delete them.
 

you can't want on ipad. apparently deleting each song individually option aside removing library in itunes , re-syncing.

Apple iOS and the new iPad are very limited.


i'm having problems limitations apple have either applied or not developed ios making ipad week product. i've had ipad 1 year , use great frustration.

examples problem is; not having easy access hard drive store data want. not being able navigate files through directory structure. apple's workaround force me access data through specific applications, , or having applications locked accessing data on ipad. creates huge limits in feature developments applications , results in poor functionality. example exposure music data assessment available itunes. it's music, if want brows through directory, or have application write access data , analyse it, apple should not stop or limit access.

in find apples ios limiting. google becoming popular andriod on mobile devises, , limited exposure i've had os development policy feels more friendly end consumer. think android creating applications surpass ios capabilities on next couple of years.
when consider mobile devices identicle, apple need start , understand creating platform people work with, not polished finished product , dictate can , cannot product. difference in mindset huge.

posted ipad 3 dumb product. although post short, peoples response valid , subject matter hearing arguments on both sides. i'm hoping people see constructive thoughts not trolling.
 

if apple's platforms don't suit you, switch.

simple.

Laggy Scrolling in Lion with Magic Mouse (Safari)


hi all,

i've searched through forums yet find definitive answer/solution problem, plus, on other threads, people tend deviate away problem. i've seen problem since arrival of lion 10.7.0 doubt of updates have fixed it, i'm on 10.7.3.

in safari, find scrolling quite laggy, on websites such facebook, macforums etc macrumors, telegraph etc seem fine.

else experiencing these problems? i've got 4gb of ram, sufficient?
