Missing module

Hello,

Since this Mac has an Intel processor, to upgrade, you first need to install Mac OS 10.6.

So purchase the DVD I provided the link for, and install it. In the link I provided for the installation, I explained how to do a clean installation, but you can skip that step and install it directly over Mac OS 10.5.8.
Once that is done, go to the Adobe website to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player and install it. Everything should already be much better:
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?loc=en

For a potential upgrade to a version of Mac OS 10 or higher, you will need to know the exact model of the Mac. But what is certain is that with Mac OS 10.6, you will have made a significant step, and upgrading to a higher version is not at all necessary, and in any case, for a potential upgrade to a higher OS, passing through Mac OS 10.6 is mandatory.

Best regards

Good evening Francis.

Thank you very much for your various responses.

My message just flew away, so I'm starting again...
After some research, I see that this mac OS X 10.5.8 has an Intel processor.

I recall that Leopard was registered, but is no longer visible. Is it still possible to install it knowing that:
- To install Lion you need Snow Leopard first. And for Snow Leopard, the iMac must have an Intel processor... to get Mac 10.7.

Here is the reference for the Flash Player that I reinstalled recently: Version 10.3.183.90 (10.3) and when I click to get a video of a text in a newspaper, for example, nothing happens. I'm getting lost....

As for Mac Keeper, I use it every day because I'm so afraid of being blocked due to a lack of space on my disk that it seems to me to erase what is or seems unnecessary.

You will have a complete table noting the purchase of an external hard drive, Seagate Backup Plus Slim. So after moving many folders, I hope to have freed up some space.
I haven't dared to "delete" what I've transferred to Seagate yet.

I've made another request regarding my Mail free password, and that is really starting to annoy me.

I will continue with your advice tomorrow since it’s a bit late. Thanks again.

Parimarseil

Francis, whom I sincerely thank, has already got me back on my feet and I’m starting to see things more clearly.
Tomorrow I will try the document and the video that I couldn’t read.

Having been subscribed to medici-tv for 2 months, I still can’t listen to the live concerts. Is it because my hard drive is too full?

I look forward to your response, Francis, and the responses from others to complete it. Thank you very much.

Good evening Francis,

Not seeing my response to your last message from this morning, I am coming back this evening to confirm it. I am really sorry, I have done it twice..

Thank you again for your explanations. I mentioned that I was going to buy the disk in order to upgrade my Mac and convert it to 10.6 and therefore install Leopard.

As for MacKeeper, I use it very often, feeling like I am cleaning up my disk. You scare me because being a product of Mac, I felt safe.

I will update you when I have installed everything.

As already mentioned, I asked another question regarding the password of my original Free email account and I am stuck after changing it to a new one that I incorrectly noted on a sheet. I have been in complete trouble for 15 days and when I receive the passwords on my backup email, they are only for the other secondary accounts. What should I do?

Please excuse me again, I do not understand what happened. Wishing you a pleasant evening

Best regards

Good evening,

Mackeeper has nothing to do with Apple. It's not "a Mac production"; this nasty thing comes from a third-party company independent of Apple, Zeobit.

If you search the internet for how to remove Mackeeper due to the problems it causes, you'll see an enormous amount of responses from all around the world.

Regarding the Free issue, I will look into your request on the other discussion thread, so as not to mix up the two subjects here. I probably won't be able to do it tonight, but I hope to tomorrow.

Best regards :)

Hello Francis,

The Free problem is resolved.

I went to Apple, not too thrilled about uninstalling Mackeeper and I'm waiting for the Snow Leopard disk in the coming days.

After reading your advice for installing the disk, I'm quite doubtful about my ability to do it myself as many terms are unfamiliar to me.

“Uninstall” Mackeeper, “install” Snow, and finally “get” Flash Player and the rest are starting to frighten me.

Reading this passage: “So, in case of installation on a new external disk, start by formatting this new hard drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, since almost all commercial hard drives are pre-formatted in MS DOS or NTFS.”
I wonder if what I've already transferred to the Seagate external hard drive is valid. I'm hesitant to even delete those photos and documents that are on my Mac's hard drive and now also on Seagate. Will they be able to be transferred back to Snow easily? Ref.:
Seagate Backup Plus Slim 500 USB 3.0 GB/GO

MACBOOK (13-INCH MID 2007) version 10.5.8 Processor: 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Serial number 3R7221QGYA3 memory 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Where and how can I get physical help applying your advice? It's not for lack of goodwill, but at over 75 years old, I'm having a hard time keeping up.

Thank you again, Francis, for what you do.

Best regards.

Hello Parimarseil,

"Where and how can I get physical help by applying your advice?":
A computer shop near you could provide this service and upgrade your MacBook 13" Mid-2007 to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and even Lion 10.7.5. Be sure to tell them to keep all your data (emails, photos, videos, documents, ...).
How to find this shop?
For example, on this Apple page (you need to click on the blue bold words to access the Apple page) where you just enter your postal code to find nearby resellers. By calling, you will know how much the upgrade will cost.

Another option: a family member or a kind neighbor who knows a bit more about Apple computers.

Another option: an association or a computer club near you.

Another option: me, if you live near Versailles in Yvelines.

Did you receive my message? I can't see it..
Thank you for your advice
I received the disk this morning
My first action: uninstall Mackeeper... So I will try to
meet someone from Apple...

I don't live close since I am near Gare de Lyon

Thanks again.

Hello.

Upon receiving Snow Leopard, I managed to install it on my Mac, and since then I am on Mac 10.6.8, quite pleased with myself..
However, while I was always able to print with my HP DeskJet 5150, nothing works now.
I just spent hours and even part of the night trying to find a driver for it.
It seems possible up to Mac 10.5, but above that, the printer starts up and immediately a number appears on the symbol and nothing works anymore.

According to someone who provided some solutions, I changed the PPD; don't ask me for more details because I'm doing it without fully understanding.
Multiple times, I also unplugged everything from the printer, did the update, then reconnected to update with HP = NOTHING
Help, friends, a grandma who thanks you.

Hello,

Before installing Mac OS 10.6, did you completely remove MacKeeper?
https://www.securitemac.com/desinstaller-mackeeper.html

For the printer, it seems you are using a "generic" driver from Gutenprint. It shows HP Deskjet 3822.

You mentioned that your printer is a HP 5150.

Try this driver then:
http://h30640.www3.hp.com/pub/softlib/software7/COL15331/mp-40792-1/OSXHPInkjetinstallerB.dmg

It seems to work up to Mac 10.5 but above that, the printer starts and immediately a number appears on the symbol and nothing else can be done.

Can you tell us exactly what the symbol and the number are?

Perhaps even send us a screenshot to put here or on this site and give us the links to look at:

Good evening Francis,

To get rid of Mackeeper, I simply put the icon in the trash.
When I went to Apple to ask if they could check, an advisor told me that was enough. The explanatory text from the link you provided seemed very good but difficult to understand completely. I just reread it!!
I don’t see Mackeeper anywhere when I click on the Apple logo, and I don’t see anything else, hoping nothing is left.

After installing Snow Leopard 10.6.3, I was tempted to upgrade to 10.6.8, and it was after that, when I tried to print a document, that my HP 5150 printer started up, spitting out pages without printing. So I began to read the answers to other people's questions like: (if you have time)

http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pagetype=s-002&h_lang=fr&h_cc=fr&h_client=S-A-R163-1&h_page=hpcom&lang=fr&cc=fr&h_product=c8962a

http://h30478.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-and-all-in-one-printers-Getting-started/Os-10-6-1-and-Deskjet-5150/m-p/4566/highlight/true#M1021

That’s how, according to the answer, I believe from HP? I tried to change the generic driver indicated, there were 2, I chose Gutenprint.

From the many pages I’ve read over the last 3 days, I think the HD driver doesn’t recognize Snow Leopard.
The image in question is simply that of a typewriter: icon?) and the number 2, sometimes 3 indicated the number of pages waiting to be printed. Sorry.

Before Gutenprint, the driver was the original one, and I hope to find it back as I don’t think I have any installation disk.

I also managed to install Flash Player and I can hear Medici TV. For Adobe, I tried but I’m lost between that and Flash.
I understood that it was another problem so no more about that.

I’ll finish this long rambling by thanking you again Francis, I will try but I’m a bit fed up with your suggestion about the indicated driver.

Have a good evening. Parimarseil

Following the previous message of today.

Here’s a link I just read that provides a DEFINITIVE complement for the driver I was looking for.

What do you think after reading? (no need to tell me to buy a new one!!!!)
See you soon
Parimarseil

Good evening Parimarseil,

Not all your links work, but I was still able to read the information regarding compatibility issues from HP. Indeed, for HP, it's a no-go.

On the Apple Discussions forum, I saw that some have resolved the issue with the Gutenprint driver (on the Gutenprint website, your printer is not listed among the compatible ones), and I also saw that others fixed the issue using the HP driver intended for a 5400 printer...

I also had a similar case with an old HP Photosmart 1800, which ultimately ended up in the graveyard, and in the end, it was a good thing because it cost me more in ink cartridges than a new printer :), especially since HP had never been able to produce a driver that managed duplex printing properly for that printer.

But of course, I wouldn't dare to suggest replacing it... I promise :)

As for MacKeeper, if an Apple technician told you that simply throwing away the icon is enough, he's a technician who really needs to be recycled :)
It's clear in this tutorial:
https://www.securitemac.com/desinstaller-mackeeper.html
That uninstallation is much more than just throwing away the software icon.

Moreover, if you calmly go through the tutorial, you'll find that it’s not actually difficult.

On another note, with the freeware EasyFind, if you do a search including hidden locations, for the terms Mackeeper and Zeobit, you'll see what's still present.
http://www.devontechnologies.com/products/freeware.html

Then, for each line found by EasyFind, by right-clicking you can request to see the original file to delete it.

So, check that...

Best regards

Hello Francis,

I understand, even for my HP which is almost as good as new!!

For Mackeeper, I had read some passages with Zeobit but I was afraid I wouldn't succeed, so I ended up deleting the icon... yesterday among the responses on Ccm I saw the ad for Mackeeper!

I have spent so many hours that I will try it tonight with your link and let you know. I realize that the HP has been on since yesterday! I forgot it.

Best regards,
Parimarseil

Francis, I believe I owe you a big thank you...

I couldn't resist continuing my investigations.

Result after downloading Easyfind, the table appears and my request.
"find in the whole word mackeeper" in the visible or invisible folders etc., the answer is 0.
Did I ask the right question or should I have specified the term application?

Is it useful to keep this Easyfind in the apps and what could it be used for? To check what has been lost...

I haven't solved my HP problem, what should I do, which printer should I buy?
Another issue to resolve through spending, my wallet or Santa Claus!

I await your responses when you can and I thank you for patiently helping me.

Best regards.

Good evening, if there is indeed no trace of MacKeeper, that’s already a good thing.
EasyFind is perfectly safe software that does not interfere with the functioning of Mac OS X. It can later be used to find lost files. Its main advantage is that it is capable of searching everywhere. But you can delete it and download it again later if needed.

As for the choice of printer... really difficult to answer, as it depends on the need and the level of requirement. I have a preference for Canon printers, but that changes over time. I have never had luck with HP printers, but again, that’s just a personal experience, and others might have the opposite opinion.

To print photos, it is now more economical to use a printing kiosk, or at a photo service provider, with the photo files on a USB flash drive. I keep my Canon MP 810 for its ability to scan slides and print directly on CDs or DVDs, but aside from that, a basic printer would suffice for me. It is also useful to look at how many ink cartridges a particular model uses, to avoid having to change an expensive cartridge that contains all the basic colors, just because one color is empty... that is often the trap of cheap printers.
Example: if a printer is inexpensive at first, but it only uses one black cartridge + one cartridge that combines cyan-magenta-yellow, it will end up being more expensive to use than a printer with a separate cartridge for each color...

Thank you, Francis, and everyone who replied.
My Mac is working; alas, I have to say goodbye to my HP 5150 printer in very good condition, but which unfortunately is no longer compatible, as already stated!
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas

Parimarseil.
