Loading software. cd-rom won't load onto my computer. I have a mac OSX. is this a problem, can it be fixed?

Please copy your disc from another computer..... after the copy is complete transfer to your pendrive and install it on your computer.. good luck.

Yes you can but you'll need to install the Mac OsX driver to make it run through your Macbook Pro. You can download the Mac OSX driver from HERE,(open the link and select O.S i.e. Mac OSX and Language and click "submit", the download links will be displayed) it should also be included in the CD that came with the printer.

Let me know if you need further help.

Good Luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

go onto the piratebay and see if you can down load a programm that does what you want it to

You will have to order this CD-ROm containing the drivers and software from HP. MAC OSX drivers are not available for download from the website.

Try holding down ALT while booting up and select Macintosh HD. If that doesn't work try inserting your mac osx install CD or DVD restart hold down ALT. Select the CD using the arrow keys after the CD has loaded go up to the drop down menus and go to disk utility, then click on your main boot disk (macintosh HD) and under the First AID tab (if your using osx) click verify permissions and restore permissions, then click verify disk and repair disk. Try to boot up. If this doesn't work restart leaving work mac osx CD in hold down D then follow the disk checker steps. This will tell you if there are any errors on your disk (hard drive). If there are you need to get it fixed or replaced.

Once you get the firmware problem solved the library software should be loaded on a PC or Mac then hook up the USB device or IPOD as a USB drive to that computer. The library software will build search tables on the USB device when selected as Full option in the software. The keyboard should search then......

With the OS X Installer CD in the drive, try booting your mac and holding down the option key immediately after you hear the start up chime. This will (hopefully) load a firmware boot loader that will show available start up discs. Hopefully the OSX installer will show up as CD Icon. Select the Icon with your mouse or keyboard and press enter to start up with the Installer CD. From the installer you should be able to erase and format the drive as Mac OS Extended before installing OS X.


If the computer still won't boot from the CD double check that it is a retail OS X installer CD. If your CD has "software restore" or "ibook restore" or any other varient of restore written on the label; or if it names a particular model such as "ibook install" or "imac install" it is not a retail copy and may not be a bootable disc. A retail copy will only name the version of the operating system followed by the word install written on it's label and usually have a brief instruction on booting from the CD by holding the C key at startup.


Hope this helps, let me know what happens.

You might be able to get some help here...

Could be hard drive crash.. Try loading MAC OSX from CD to see if it will fire up.

When the installation stops, try to press the Escape button to see where it gets stocked. You might have to do a fsck -p command to fix your hard drive.
