The "drivers" on my Mac worked properly but sporadically with the

There are limited numbers of settings to try from this end. So, I
called
Mac and they came up with a solution that worked.

Might want to re-read that first sentence. The fact that it worked
"sporadically" means, by definition, it did *not* work "properly".
And the fact that Apple (not Canon) had to come up with a fix
means it
was buggy Apple software.


Have a nice day.

I will. :-)



The problem (which no one likes to admit) is that the latest OSX from
Apple called "Mavericks" has some bugs. Harry has apparently
experienced a minor one. I have an issue that is well known but, to
date, Apple has not resolved. The Apple Support forums are full of
people with complaints and problems. Right now I am sorta wishing I
had
held off upgrading to Mavericks. Based on what I've read, the
previous
OSX (Mountain Lion) was optimized and stable. I don't know how
Apple
updates it's current OSX with improvements. I occasionally check for
software updates on the iMac but so far it just reports that the
version
I have is current.


I found out today the Spinning ball of death. Apple equivelent to Blue
Screen of Death. Found out how to Force Quit a progam today because of
that. Was a Pages problem. Lots of comments on the problem on the
Apple Forums.


It's actually called a "beach ball."

OK, the Spinning Beach Ball of Death.


I like that.. Spinning Beach Ball of Death!



Actually, it isn't quite the same as the renowned Blue Screen of Death.
The few times I have seen the beachball, I've been able to recover
without rebooting or shutting down my computers. If memory serves, the
BSODs always required a shutdown. Well, that's what I remember about them.
