HP All in One mx8500 stopped working with MacBook Pro

So I have a MacBook Pro and a small Sony Vaio (that I seldom use) and both were configured to the HP when I brought it home.  I have used it almost exclusively as a wiresless with good results until one day it stopped working with the MacBook Pro.  MacBook is operating on Snow Leopard and is routinely updated.  The HP simply does not recognize the MacBook any longer-won't print from it nor won't scan to it.  It doesn't give an error message, it just pauses and when I tell it to resume, it pauses again.  I have tried using it with the wire to connect the two and that doesn't work either.  All this time, if I switch to the Sony, it performs perfectly.  Any hints???

Reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

  • Thunderbolt has stopped working with macbook pro

    Thunderbolt display paired to macbook pro and working fine.
    Turned off Macbook to go portable.  When returned home plugged n Thunderbolt to Mac - there is no activity at all on Thunderbolt display.  No changes to set up were made.
    Any suggestions?

    I've the same set-up as you have and I'm not having the problem that you describe... 90% of the time I'm at my desk with the Thunderbolt Display plugged in and 10% of the time I'm running on battery.
    The only thing that I can think of is that - possibly - you're plugging in the Thunderbolt cable before you plug in the power supply cable? If it's not that then I would contact Apple Support.
    Good luck,

  • Deskjet F2235 All-In-One has stopped working

    Hi,
    My all-in-one has stopped working. I purchased it new at Christmas 2008 and have only printed 2 test pages, but now when I turn it on all the lights on the front panel light-up & my PC says the printer is off-line. I cannot even get it to turn off by the on/off switch... I have to pull the mains plug from the back.
    - I have un-installed & re-installed the software twice without improvement.
    - I have replaced the USB cable without improvement.
    My PC is a 2.4GHz Celeron 2 with 512 Mb RAM, XP Home SP3, 80Gb hard drive with 7Gb free.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks in advance.

    seems like a hardware issue. can you please follow THIS document and see which lights are blinking, and do the corresponding troubleshooting and see what happens?

  • Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display?

    Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display, please?
    Have searched Adobe website for answer - most recent is 2013 answer, saying no.
    Contradicted by a staff ember who only referred to Photoshop, not Elements.
    Reason I need it is that iPhoto does not support very high resolution photos - which I have now scanned onto my MacBook and do not want to re-scan!! After 90 minutes at my local Genius bar (lovely folk, very conscientiously searching for an answer...), re-scanning was their final piece of advice.
    Help, please...

    Hello Smis,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand you are having issues with your HP Monitor on your MAC. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Updating a Monitor Driver, where it states under the sub-heading Using HP monitors on a Mac "HP monitors are not supported in a Mac environment. However, newer Macs use graphics with VESA modes and can display to most HP LCD monitors. To do this, connect the monitor to the Mac while the Mac is off, and then turn on the MAC. The monitor should operate at 60Hz. The INF and software for the HP monitor are for Microsoft Windows and cannot be run in a standard MAC OS environment."
    This being said all I can advise is that you check to see that the monitor is set to operat at 60Hz and contact Apple for assistance if that does not get your monitor displaying correctly.
    I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

  • MacBook Air Superdrive?? Does it work with MacBook Pro

    Hello,
    I need an external Superdrive. Does the MacBook Air Superdrive work with MacBook Pro??

    No, it does not (at least, not without opening the drive and modifying the internal components).
    External optical drives from Sony and LaCie work well with the MBP. Here's ONE EXAMPLE, here's ANOTHER EXAMPLE, both from Amazon.

  • Does the Apple remote control work with MacBook Pro with retina? If yes, how can I sync it?

    Does the Apple remote control work with MacBook Pro with retina? If yes, how can I sync it?
    Thanks!

    It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.

  • What is best all in one printer for my new MacBook Pro ? Needs to make very high quality photos.

    What is best all in one printer for my new MacBook Pro ? Needs to make very high quality photos. Using USB connection.

    That's a difficult one but I'd always go for HP as they make so many excellent models that you'll always be able to buy the cartridges from almost anyone.  Theyre darn good printer too.  I have four in the office here and one of them is a very neat flatbed with exceptionally high tonal qualities.  One of their cheaper models is the HP 5520 A4 inkjet all-in-one - CMYK.  Good value at £70 and 4800 x 1200 DPI. 

  • Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro

    Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro when plugged in with a dvi to mini dvi cable. Any ideas what to do to make it work? I lugged the 23" 2500 miles into the wilderness and I need help

    Okay, here's an update: the DVI to ADC adapter does work with the Apple displays that I have tried, but it won't work with the Formac. I have tried multiple time to contact them, but to no avail... they don't even respond to threats of posting my opinion of them, which is this:
    DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM FORMAC! They make quality products, but their customer service is a big time joke! They won't take care of you.

  • Does 'Network Connect' work with MacBook Pro?

    My safari unexpectedly quits when attempting to log into my company's VPN.
    - I log into our VPN website and the connection begins to initialize
    - with my MacBook, Safari (2.0.3) unexpectedly quits
    - with my PowerBook, 'Network Connect' automatically starts and the VPN connection completes without any problem
    Does 'Network Connect' work with MacBook Pro? Any ideas?

    Resolved. MacBook Pro was having trouble dowloading the 'Network Connect' application when I logged into my VPN client for the first time. I copied it from my PowerBook G4 over to the appropriate folder and it now works perfectly.

    Generally signing out and signing in (signing out and back into the Creative Cloud application ) will fix this. If it isn't resolving the issue for you, let us know what you see and we can try something else.

  • What is the best all in one printer that works with the iPad

    The best all-in-one-printer to use with the ipad mini

    Any that advertise Airprint compability will work for printing. Note that you can't use the scanning or faxing features of an all-in-one with an iPad.
    See the Airprint printers on the Apple store site:

  • Nexus 1.4.1 stopped working with Logic Pro X

    Hello Guys! I am currently using Logic Pro X on Mavericks 10.9.4. I have been using refx Nexus 1.4.1 with Logic Pro X with the help of another application called 32 lives that allows 32 bit apps to be used with 64 bit apps but all of sudden it stopped working and I get " validation result: couldn't be opened". I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app to no avail. I'm attaching a screenshot. I hope this helps. What can I do to resolve this issue. Thanks.

    Then... either you have a problem with your system... Permissions issue maybe...
    or you are using an out of date version of 32Lives... (Update to v1.4)
    or you are using the pirated version of Nexus 1 (Buy the legal version..as v1.4.1 cracked is known to have issues under the latest OS X versions..)
    Because I just tested a legal Nexus v1.4.1 with 32Lives v1.4 (I had an old copy that I reinstalled on one of my testbed Macs here as i use Nexus 2 these days..) and with both Mavericks and LPX (10.9.4 and 10.0.7) it all works fine here without issue....

  • Time Capsule works with MacBook Pro (Mavericks) but not with IOS devices?  recent problem starting March 1, 2015.

    I have a Time Capsule version 7.7.3 (model A1470) which has worked fine for almost 2 years with all devices, Apple and otherwise.  As of beginning of this month, March 2015 - no longer works with a new IPAD mini 3 and 6-month old iPhone 6 (both updated as of last night) BUT still works fine with MacBook Pro (Mavericks 10.9.5) and Epson printer XP-600. 
    On both IOS devices Airport Utility shows the Time Capsule and shows green light connection to internet, but never does the connection. The little status circle just keeps going round and never shows the Wifi rainbow symbol. both devices work fine on other Wifi's.  Airport Utility on iPhone actually connects enough to check on Airport base station's firmware 7.7.3 and says it is up to date!  but sadly stays on LTE.
    Have tried resetting, replugging etc...
    Also, tried checking on updates.  Nothing shows in Airport Utility. When I try to go to see past updates ~/Library/Application Support/Apple/AirPort/Firmware to see if updated, there is no Airport in the Apple folder?
    A mystery...

    Reset the TC to factory and redo the setup. see details below.
    Here is the typical list of things you should try.. and if this doesn't help post again.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Setup the TC again.
    ie Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
    Then redo the setup from the computer or perhaps it is better using iOS on the phone or ipad currently having issues.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg TCgen5 and TCwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
    Even better if the issue is more wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round. For iOS the fixed channels particularly for 2.4ghz has helped.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place makes for poor networking. If the TC is main router it will not be an issue. This is a problem for a TC in bridge mode.
    If this is of no help.. what modem do you have? What function other than modem does it have.. ie none or router??
    How is the TC connected into the network? What function does it have? Router or bridge for example.
    Post a few screenshots of the setup.
