$100 Reward for anyone who can fix this issue

I will give $100 to the first person who can fix the false empty cartridge issue described here:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/Ink-cartridge-empty-but-it-s-not/m-p/176836
The fix must eliminate the false error message that a cartridge is empty and enable the printer to resume printing. 
As you can see in the link, people have struggled with this problem for years and no consistent fix has been discovered.  I am hoping that a smart person out there can find the cause of this problem and a solution for it. 
I suspect that a file or registry entry must be set that indicates a false empty cartridge.  This false entry is retained even when a new cartridge is installed, or the printer software is removed and reinstalled.
Even though many people have worked on this issue over the years, there still may be a creative solution out there.  Let's hear it and if it works you get the money.

Hi,
Reward not required nor needed...
But... I didn't see a post in your link about using a newly created utility by hp.  I don't know if there is a fix in the utility although it has fixed some other printer issues... something that could be tried.

    I'll assume that you are referring to purchasing a book in iTunes. If that is the case, you can transfer the purchase with the phone, or you can sync the phone and iTunes.

  • Zombie email message won't die! $1 bounty to anyone who can solve this.

    I have a message that absolutely will not die. I've tried everything I can think of to delete it, but it keeps coming back. I've tried moving it from one mailbox to another, killing it with the delete key, killing it by cutting it (Command-X), but it lingers on. At this point, it only shows up in the index with a subject and date, but the content of the message is gone. I've tried rebuilding the mailboxes a number of times, but it always reappears. I've tried logging into my various accounts through the web interface, but it doesn't exist on the servers anywhere, it's only local as far as I can see.
    In my last attempt to get rid of it, I scanned my ENTIRE HARD DRIVE for the string of text containing the subject line using grep, and narrowed it down to a few files in the ~/Library/Mail folder, which I deleted through the Terminal using rm. I then re-opened Mail and rebuilt the mailboxes, and the email STILL appears. It will no longer let me move the message to another mailbox, however, but I can't get the damned thing to disappear.
    I will PayPal $1 to anyone who can come up with a solution that doesn't involve recreating my Mail accounts. May the game begin!

    Hello,
    Are you using an IMAP or POP account?
    Anything you do in the Terminal, Finder or some third party Mail app enhancers will very often mess up the index, which appears to be a symptom of.
    I think you should force a reindexing by deleting the Envelope Index. With IMAP or Exchange account, forcing reindexing requires removing the account folder. See:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/4.0/en/14019.html
    Ask any questions needed to get comfortable with doing this.

  • I will give $100 to the person who can solve this problem once and for all.

    I'm not even kidding, dude. We can do PayPay, I'll mail you a check, whatever you want. That is how frustrating this is, that is how badly I want it fixed, and that is how much overtime I've worked lately thanks to being shorthanded at my place of biz-nass. I'm an hombre of my word, so if you actually come up with a solution that works, the cheddar will be yours. Okay let's hit it.
    It's the skipping thing. First 10-12 seconds of a song - every song - will play fine, then iTunes skips, stutters, and basically does the god **** hokey pokey and shakes it all about. It happens most notably with songs that I double-click to play, but I'm pretty much noticing it on any song now after a transition is made. I've been using iTunes for ages and this didn't happen until the upgrade to 7.3. I have poured over these forums for nearly a week, tried every solution offered (even offered one of my own that actually worked for maybe four days before the whole thing started up again) and NOTHING. To save us all some time, here's what I've tried:
    - Downgrading. I'll admit I didn't do this correctly at first. I didn't remove everything according to the support guidelines, but I went down to version 6.05 and that did nothing to quell the skipping. I upgraded back up to 7.3 because hey, why not, and attempted the remaining trial fixes. I have since removed both iTunes and Quicktime, step my step according the the guidelines, and not only have I downgraded to my current running version of 7.2, I put both of the programs on my F drive (as opposed to the default C drive), my gigantic bonus internal drive where I typically keep nothing but my giganto music library. I thought putting the app on the same drive as the music might fix things. I thought wrong. Dead wrong. Dead diddly dum iddly wrong.
    - Quicktime settings. My settings for Quicktime have always been in safe mode with the output size at 16 bits. So when I saw this "fix" I just rolled my eyes. I used to have that dealio back in the dizzle when iTunes would just get all static-y and skip when I'd open other programs or even just minimize it, so that fix worked for that, but it's nothing compared to this. In simpler terms, that fix is like Superman, and this skipping? The kryptonite. Actually that's probably not a great metaphor, but we've got a ways to go and this is going to get mucho boring if I don't throw some chuckles out there. Ready for fix three? Giddy up!
    - Turn off cross-fade? It's never been on. I never really got the appeal of that, and also I think it resulted in some minor skipping back in the d. I also attempted similar fixes like turning off the equalizer, messing with the volume, closing last.fm, REMOVING an old album art retrieval program from back before iTunes got its **** together with album art, ANYTHING that might interfere with playback was turned off, removed, b-slapped, and sent crying home to its moms. Nada.
    - Recreating my library. This was the fix I offered someone else, because it actually did the trick for a few days. After an entire night spent reimporting 73 gigs worth of music, it played fine, but I did lose a ton of album art, playcounts, etc, so you can imagine how ****** I was when this wound up not being a permanent fix. I was beyond ******. I was livid. But I was taught in the dojos of my youth to channel my anger into productivity, and instead of sculpting a lovely bonsai tree, I set out to fix this pup once and for all.
    - That darn anti-virus! This was the final fix I tried, even though I wasn't using any of the culprit programs listed in the forums as causes of the skipping, and even those offering this as a solution confessed it was pretty hit or miss. But having tried everything else, having resorted to playing my music on MediaMonkey of all things, I figured I'd give it a shot. I used (reason for the past-tense forthcoming) AVG Anti-Virus, Lavasoft AdAware and something called Spyware Doctor that I think just came bundled with XP. I removed all of them. I had just done a virus scan recently to see if that's what was causing this, so I figured I'd be okay until I could redownload them after this fix wound up not working. And it didn't work, so there's that.
    There may be a couple of fixes I've tried that I'm forgetting now, since I'm delirious after spending practically every night for the past week trying to fix this problem, while my girlf, Heather, sits and laughs at me while watching Clark and Michael on her MacBook. In fact, she's laughing at the $100 offer as I type this, but I assure you, if you offer a solution that works, the money is as good as yours. If you come up with a workable solution, I'll have to test and make sure it isn't temporary like the recreating my library thing, but I won't leave you hanging once I'm satisfied that it's fixed for good. I know it's unorthodox, perhaps illegal in some states, but I'm desperate here, peeps. The ball is in your court, and I beg you not to give up the rock.

    I think the problem lays with Last.fm. I had the same exact problem as you. In your processes screen, end the task "lastfmhelper.exe" Last.fm still scrobbles. The tracks don't skip, although I notice there is still a bit of a lag in the first part of the song - but if you can deal with that, no skipping. I think you will have to end that task everytime you boot up your computer, or uninstall last.fm completely until they fix it; it is a bug in their software, as opposed to iTunes.

    Hello team,
    I'm working with this excellent Flash grid gallery for my current project, however, I've reached a snag.
    Instead of using a hex as the image background (currently set to #FFFFFF in the .xml), i'd like to use a moving gif, to give the transition a little more life. Is this possible, and simpler than I'm finding it to be?
    Other items on my wishlist of mods would be to remove the 'loading x of x thumbnails bar in the corner' and not requiring a second click to view a photo's desciption once it's been selected from the grid.
    I would appreciate anyone's help in this matter greatly.
    Best

    You can import an animated gif, but it will not remain intact as one such that you can drop it onto the stage and have it play.  What you can do is create a new movieclip symbol and while it is open for editing import the animated gif to the stage. 
    The frames of the animated gif will be planted sequencially in the timeline, with some attempt at automatically getting the timing correct via extending frames occupied by each panel of the animated gif.  At this point you will have a movieclip representation of the animated gif that you can place in the background.

  • URGENT! deadline today : [   £10 to anyone who can solve this!

    I hope people don't mind me offering this as a token of my gratitude, should someone be able to resolve this-
    I'm completely stuck now and feel powerless, unable to finish this edit because of this technical problem...
    Basically, when I apply Time Remapping to a nested sequence, it becomes black from about halfway through, onwards. If I disable Mercury Playback Engine, it solves this issue and the blackness is replaced by the remainder of the clip but other problems happen (edge feathering suddenly isn't possible[!?] and obviously performance)
    Not sure if it's directly related but if I apply a new Edge feather it curiously slips clips back or forward a few frames..
    Here's the video I made illustrating the issue:

    Ah.
    Thanks Harm.
    I think there should be a law stipulating that companies like Adobe must make it clear when a feature in their (pretty expensive) product doesn't work properly, so people like me don't stuck in a situation where they have a deadline they risk not meeting because the software doesn't work as advertised...
    I'll have a think about a workaround I guess.. maybe something in After Effects..

  • Entourage/iCal sync...a reward for whoever helps me fix this!

    This is a long one and a tough one but I am serious about the reward!
    Up until 3 months ago, I was successfully synching my Entourage with iCal. (using the native feature of Entourage found under the Preferences Pane)
    iCal was then synching through .mac to another computer's iCal.
    (Using the .Mac synching feature)
    In case you are curious, I do this so my assistant can add events to my calendar.
    And then mysteriously one day...Entourage stopped synching with iCal. following some of the advice found on this forum, I deleted the Entourage Calendar within iCal (the one that Entourage creates automatically) in order to reset the process.
    Since then, when I initiate the Entourage Synch (through Entourage Preferences), Entourage creates the Calendar within iCal and appears to be 'pushing' events to iCal. However, when the synch process is complete, no events appear in that Calendar.
    Interestingly, iCal can still synchronize effectively between the other computer's iCal (of course this is useless because it is not sharing infor from Entourage which is my main calendar.)
    To date I have tried the following fixes:
    - Removed and re-installed iCal
    - Removed and re-installed Entourage and the entire MacOffice suite
    - Cleared out Synch services (as per one recommendation on this forum
    - Completely re-formatted my computer and re-installed EVERYTHING from scratch (that was a pain!)
    I have isolated the problem as living between Entourage and iCal on MY computer. One of the ways that I know this to be true is that I am able to manually import my Entourage calendar FROM iCAL (using the import function.)
    Because I need to have mey calendar visible by my assistant, I basically delete the data from iCal, re-import Entourage, and re-publish the calendar every day...this is no fun.
    Your wisdom and advice will be greatly appreciated

  • I have a somewhat strange request for anyone who can help. A300-146.

    A friend of mine gave me this satellite A300-146 laptop about a year ago, and I want to fix it up so I can use it. The trouble is, this is not a US model, and the motherboard is bad. It turns on, everything spins up (except the HDD, that was dead) but no video. I've had the same situation with desktops and it was invariably a dead mobo. So my question is this. Are there any other a series mobos that will work in this thing? I've tried google searching for the same model type mobo, but no dice, not even from overseas retailers and wholesalers.

  • PROBLEM! 1st I synced my iphone to Mac, then deleted photos to make some space, I think I deleted everything from icloud too! Please tell me there is a genius there who can fix this! is there a way to retrieve the photos even after deleted from icloud.

    Hi, I know this is stupid, but without going into the how, I deleted important photos and actually backed up my icloud, so I think they are gone completely! I am furious with my self, is there anyway to retrieve this data from some space even if I have to be charged by apple ... just being hopeful...

    Photo stream photos are not backed up, and when you delete them from one device, they are also deleted from iCloud and your other devices.  If they were in your camera roll when you last back up you device, restoring the backup should recover them.  Otherwise, they are, unfortunately, gone.
    Also, photo stream photos don't use any of your iCloud storage so deleting them won't free any storage up in your account.
    You can't really use iCloud to back up your photos.  It's designed to stream them to your devices and share with others, not to back them up.  In fact, photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  In order to back up your photos, import them to your computer while they are still in your camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  Or, if you have a Mac that is signed into your account with photo stream enabled, and you are using iPhoto '11 9.2.2 or later, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import.  This will ensure that your photo stream photos are automatically imported to your iPhoto library where they will be safe (especially if you are using Time Machine to back up your Mac).

  • I updated my mac's OS to Yosemite and now my eye drop tool will NOT work inside premiere pro. Can anyone help me fix this issue?

    The eyedropper tool for selecting colors to key out or to fill text will not work inside premiere pro, this error started when I updated my mac os to yosemite.

    Hi Transportation,
    Does the error occur in OS X 10.9? If not, why not remain at OS X 10.9? Is it necessary to run OS X 10.10?
    The general rule of thumb is that when you are running software that is no longer tested or supported on a new operating system, you have to prepare for anomalies like this. You may want to install a separate bootable hard drive with OS X 10.9 on it so you can continue running that software more reliably.
    Hope that helps,
    Kevin

  • Good information for anyone who may encounter this problem

    I was installing the Sample Web Provider, and I could see the sample page, but the Provider did not appear in the Portlet Repository after I registered the Provider. I had registered the provider as myself, and I received no error when I clicked the "OK" button.
    HOWEVER, when I deleted it and tried to recreate it, I clicked "APPLY" this time instead of "OK". This time I got an Oracle Java error that specified it couldn't set aside enough memory space for PORTAL30.(some object), which told me that it was doing SOMETHING in the java pool on my ORIGIN database. I had earlier set the java_pool_size and the large_pool_size on the origin database to tiny values. So I jacked them back up and I was successful in seeing the new Provider in the Portlet Repository. Problem solved. But why didn't I get the error message when I pressed the "OK" button in registering the Provider?
    null

    Adrian, can you tell us what version of the portal you are using?

  • A silver dollar for anyone who can explain Mail 'Get Messages' failure

    Mail 6.2 (build 1499) on a very stable 10.8.2.
    No settings changed in the last 6 months; no accounts added (etc) in the last 30 days; same ISP (Time Warner - have reset my cable modem etc).
    Until a couple of days or so ago, Get Mail (top left) took at most 5 seconds to retrieve all POP3 mail from the dozen or so accounts I have with three or four hosts.
    Now, every time I try to collect from all my accounts that way, one or more of them fails.
    Every tme. Different accounts, which means different of the hosts.
    Right-clicking on the single account(s) with the triangle exclamation point and selecting 'Get new mail from…' immediately afterwards invariably works instantly.
    What can it be about the act of collecting all mail that fails when from individual accounts/separate hosts one at a time it succeeds?
    Thanks!

    Try a reset first: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.
