HP F2480 - attention light and On are blinking fast. The printer works fine but scanner is dead.

The On and Attention lights are blinking fast. The printer works fine but cannot connect to the scanner. I'm on Mac OS and when trying to open the scanner I get an: Failed to Open session on the device.

Hi,
These units indicate error messages by combination of blinking light. SO most likely has nothing to do withpanel cables and stuff. The pattern you are recieving indicates a scanner failure. Check HERE for a page with the differant blinking patterns and for possible solutions.

What can I do to correct this error: The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. The drive works fine when I burn a CD using Media Player.

What can I do to correct this error: The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes. I have reinstalled several times but it hasn't changed this error message. Why am I able to burn a CD using Media Player but not iTunes? I am using Windows XP and I have burned cds from iTunes in the past.

1: Follow this support doc to completly remove iTunes (your files remain)

My ipad2 won't charge, it's been on 1% all day now. It's plugged in and keeps shutting off. The cord works fine, it's charging my husbands iPad. Any suggestions?

Is this with the power adaptor that was included with your iPad 2 purchase?
The same power adaptor and USB dock connector cable charges your husband's iPad?
If so, sounds like a hardware problem with the battery or something else. Have you tried powering the iPad off and on and/or a reset which is similar to a computer restart?
If so with no change, make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Suddenly, I am unable to add photos to my project in Imovie 11. I have an IMac Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and have made several movies where this worked fine but for some reason, it has quit. Everything seems to be working fine except that?

I'm an oldtimer and have had this Mac for less than 2 yrs and have LOTS to learn - but I've climbed the curve a little. !'ve made several movies and published to YouTube and burned to disc using IDVD with reasonably good results. Each time I have added stills to my movies it has worked fine - but tonight, I'm suddenly unable to add them. I click "Photos" - select my photo - left click the photo and drag into the project while holding the click. Have the green "+" and the green highlight and even get the green vertical bar in the project but when I release the click, the photo simply disappears! One "clue" here may be this: I was able to add one still to this project and the only diff between it and the other still thumbnails now is that there is a "green check mark" on the thumbnail of the one successfully added. Any suggestions? (I do have the "advanced tools" option selected in IMovie Preferences.)
Thank you so much for any help at all.

Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.
Yours Bengt W

After importing received and set messages from Opera Mail, Thunderbird works fine but does not save sent messages to Sent folder, even though messages are sent

I successfully imported messages from Opera Mail. Initially the Sent mailbox was not showing in Thunderbird. A quick removal and fresh installation solved that, but Thunderbird does not save the sent messages to the Sent box, where the imported Opera Mail messages are stored. Even though messages are not saved, they are sent correctly. The image attached shows the error message.

Probably a name-confuse If you store sent on mailserver it has to have the right name. (subscribe)
You could set up under Account settings / copies and folders (maps) Sent pointing to the right local folder.

Podcasts and tv shows videos stop and start when playing. The Audio flows fine, but video freezes for a moment and continues. Do you know what I can do to fix?

When watching a podcast or tv program on itunes the video freezes and starts. The audio still flows just fine. Do you know what the solution might be?

set the wake-on lan on the main computer
The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

I have a pc running windows 7. I got an Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi and the printer is now plugged into the Airport. The wireless router works fine but the printer shows as offline in control panel and in word. The printer is a HP LaserJet CP1525nw.

+For now I have it set to Share Public IP address - Is this correct for my Network Setup with The Airport Extreme being the only router being used ?+
This would be the correct setting if the AirPort Extreme is connected to a simple modem (one ethernet port).

Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow with most recent upgrades of Firefox .Use an iMac and an HP officejet printer. Printer works fine with Safari and woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages.

Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow since downloading most recent upgrades of Firefox Mozilla. I have a desktop iMac, OS 10.6.8, and an HP officejet printer 4500 G510n. The printer works fine with the Safari Browser and with woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages. Help please! It used to print fast with earlier versions of Firefox.

Hello and welcome to the Apple Discussions Forum.
I have hardly any experience with HP printers but since your posting has not been replied to yet I thought I'd offer some assistance.
With the printer status and ink levels working, it shows that you have a connection to the printer. So I would look at the issue being with the protocol being used for the print queue on the Mac.
Since you have XP and Vista working, I would check the printer queue configuration on either box. In XP, go to the Properties and select Ports. Click the Configure Port tab to view the connection. If you are using RAW, then this is known as HP Jetdirect-Socket on OS X. So if you are not sure what protocol was used before I would create another printer queue, this time selecting IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket. Then enter your IP address and select the K5400dn from the Print Using menu.
If this still fails to print then please reply. There may be limitations with adding the HP driver this way that I am not aware of. There may also be other driver options you can look at, such as HPIJS. If Greg Sahli reads this posting he has expert knowledge on this matter and will be able to offer some guidance.

Power Button and Attention button are blinking fast

Power Button and Attention button are blinking fast simultaneously. I have tried turning it on and off many times, opened closed all doors, but the blinking seems to be returning everytime. It wouldnt even scan. In the Scan applicacation it says "Problem Scanning - Can't find the scanner. Make sure it's turned on and connected to your PC."
I have recently taken it to Shraf DG from where I bought it. They told that they have replaced the printer assembly. However, the printer is not working and now the warranty also got elapsed.

My Macbook pro when plugged in will hold a green light and not be recognized by the computer to charge. SMC reset done several times. Any help?

Our MBP bought earlier this year when plugged in to charge will hold a green light and not be recognized by the computer as charging. Sometimes if we turn it around or plug it in multiple times will work. We have reset the SMC several times and will work for a little while then go back to the same problem. Any help or ideas on how to fix it would be great.

Hi Why must I,
I'm sorry to hear you are having charging issues with your MacBook Pro. It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue; SMC resets are often an appropriate step for battery or power issues. If this issue persists, you may find the additional troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
Mac notebooks: All about batteries - Apple Support
OS X Mavericks: If your battery won’t charge
Note: If you reach the last step in the second article and it looks like you may need to have your MacBook Pro serviced, you may find this page useful:

I created a slide show in imovie for my daughters 21st with voice overs from friends and family which was all working fine but now the voice recordings are not playing at all. Obviously some setting has changed but I can't find which one.
