HP2015 no longer found after 10.92 system update

Ever since I updated my system software last weekend to 10.92 my HP2015 laserjet printer cannot be found! Help!

I know what you mean. But until now I've had pretty good luck.
One more odd thing about this situation:
If, after failing to print a document ("The Printer is Not Connected" message), I shut down the computer and then
start it again--the document prints! Shows it's connected but not very convenient!

  • Epson printer driver no longer working after 10.4.11 update

    It seems that my original Epson driver for my Stylus Photo 750 is no longer working after my latest Tiger update. The system does recognise it but shows an exclamation mark behind it and refuses to print with it (the document stays in the waiting line forever). Reinstalling as well as repairing permissions didn´t help. Fortunately the Gimp Epson driver is still working but I have no access to my coloursync profiles with this driver.
    I know that many printer drivers need to be rewritten for Leopard (one of the reasons I didn´t update yet) but it is not understandable why problems happen with a Tiger update.
    Does anyone know a workaround?
    Thanks very much
    Wolfgang

    I just discovered a similar problem. I have an old Epson SC3000 and under 10.4.11 my computer doesn't communicate with the printer. It's an AppleTalk printer, connected via Ethernet. I tried bypassing my network switch and connected it directly to the Mac-- no go. I then rebooted into 10.3.9 and printing works fine.
    I downloaded the driver from Epson and installed it in 10.4.11. When I try to add the printer in the Printer Setup Utility, the machine just hangs-- can't force quit the utility and eventually the Finder even stops responding. It takes a hard reboot to clear up.
    I can't say whether or not printing worked in earlier versions of 10.4. I haven't been using 10.4 for very long, and I rarely use the SC3000.

  • Why after a recent systems update, I can't copy text from the internet (every web page) and paste into word?

    MacBook Pro Community,
    I need help. After a recent systems update this week, I can not longer copy and paste text from the internet. I have never had this problem before. I have searched through systems preference and google'ed it. Please help!!
    Thank you!

    A book is a lot of work and in the end needs to not only be openable, printable, but also be laid out with facing pages amongst other numerous desirable features.
    None of which suggest Pages 5 to me.
    If you want to persist in Pages 5.5 you will have to laboriously cut and paste the content into one file and hope that will still be usable when you are finished.
    Or you could export to Pages '09 or pdf format and assemble it there.

  • ITunes (Win7 x64) is no longer opening after the latest version update

    iTunes (Win7 x64) is no longer opening after the latest version update - I have attempted an un/reinstall - can anyone offer other suggestions?
    I am running Windows 7 64-bit, and am trying to reinstall the 64-bit iTunes from the iTunes website.  I previously have had this working for the last few years with no major issues, the Apple Software Updater has been pestering me for some time so I finally got it to update.  However now iTunes will not start, if I select the icons nothing happens.  There are no iTunes applications running in the background in Task Manager either.
    I look forward to your suggestions.
    Thanks,
    James.

    1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Files
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    3.  If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime.  START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REAPIR.

  • HT1386 After a full system update phone and comp, some of my contacts have been lost and most of them now only have the numbers remaining, can the lost contacts be retrieved completely somehow.

    After a full system update phone and comp, some of my contacts have been lost and most of them now only have the numbers remaining, can the lost contacts be retrieved completely somehow.

    At some point in the past, I synched with Gmail.  Looking at my Gmail contacts, I can see that it's missing the same contacts I'm currently missing from the iPhone.  Is it possible that I may have done that sync back in October 2009 (but not since) and then somehow recently over-wrote my contacts content with whatever was there?  Is there some setting I could have tripped to make something like that happen?

  • System Update 3.14 no longer starts after latest Vista (32) updates

    I can no longer get System Update to start after the latest set of Microsoft Security updates this week. I receive a message that Visual C++ Runtime has experienced an abnormal termination! I CAN get System update to run IF I update the application properties to run in XP SP2 Compatibility mode! Anyone else experience this?

    Well, the problem is solved, and System Update is installed and working.
    The root cause of the problem appeared to be that the registry directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE no longer extended "full control" permission to the Administrators user group on my machine. We fixed this by using regedit:
    Start... Run... regedit....
    select directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE, right-click, Permissions...,
    press Add... button
    enter SYSNAME\Administrators in the text area (SYSNAME is a placeholder for my actual machine name)
    OK... OK...
    Quit regedit
    We diagnosed the problem with the help of IT support from our employer. The problem was blocking installation of new anti-virus software. We had just removed old anti-virus and "internet security" software. Hmm, I wonder if the old security software removed this permission setting as a parting gift.
    Hope this is helpful for others who encounter the same symptoms.

    Any help or guidance is appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The Lenovo System Update installed the "Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver 8.9.2.1002" right before the Windows Upgrade got broken. So in the Device Manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, I choose Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller, on the Driver Tab, I choose the option "Roll Back Driver" and after rolling back the driver and restarting the OS, now Windows Update is working like a Champ!
    The End!

  • Many Apps are no longer working after webOS 1.4 update! - please help!

    Hi,
    Many of my previously working Palm Pre Apps are no longer working after the webOS 1.4 update.
    Here are the ones that just return a blank/white screen after launching so far:
    SplashID
    Daily Devo
    Daily Light (Love)
    Absolute Fitness (some options no longer work correctly & are returning a white screen and some options are working)
    These are just a few of the Apps that I am having problems with and there are probably many others.  I have also sent emails/posted to forums on the developer sites to advise. Hopefully I will hear something back soon.
    Anyone else experiencing this issue as well with any Apps?
    Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

    SplashID on my Sprint Pre is showing just a blank screen after starting it and entering my password.  I see no update for it in the App Catalog.
    EDIT: Never mind.  It appears that it only did that on the first launch.  I closed it and restarted it, and now the screen in SplashID is correct.

  • Why won't my ipod classic 80gb no longer synch after latest itune version updates

    Why will my ipod classic 80 g ipod no longer synch after upgrading my itunes? I went from the very user freinly itunes from a few years back to the latest versions and have been having these problems.
    Doesn't synch at all.
    Synchs only partial playlists selected.
    If it synchs it leaves out multiple tracks.
    I mainly use my ipod for listening to Audio books that I have ripped unto mp3's myself. It also won't do my music or podcasts.

    I have the same problem with windows 7 and msy ipod classic will not sync...have no access to  thousands of songs and playlists..Help!!

  • My Local Adjustment Brushes no longer recognized after LR 4.3 update

    After running 4.3 update, my local adjsutment brushes are no longer recognized and appearing in the Lightroom GUI.  They are all still located under 'Lightroom' folder --> 'Local Adjustment Brushes' folder (nothing has changed and I see all files are still there in Finder), but no matter how many times I've restarted LR, they are not showing up in the GUI.
    Please advise ASAP!!  Thank you

    It's not clear from your initial problem description, but are you talking about local adjustment presets that you have created yourself (i.e. user presets), or are you talking about the standard presets supplied by Lightroom (Burn, Dodge, Soften Skin, etc)?
    If it's the latter, go to Preferences>Presets Tab and click on "Restore Local Adjustment Presets".

  • Help!  "Alert: No Internet Connection found" after most recent auto update!

    I am on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  I connect over a wireless router and cable modem usually and do the same with a few other devices in the household.  After the most recent update I was met with an airport alert: No Internet Connection on my laptop. I turned airport on and off, power cycled router and modem to no avail. I called my ISP to renew the ip or whatever it is they do and that also did nothing. While troubleshooting with the operator she told me that based on the ip starting with 169. , that signified that the laptop was not getting a signal from the router, or vice versa. I confirmed this by using airport diagnostic and noticing that it did not pick up when I power cycled my modem or router after being prompted to do so.  I apologize for the wall of text formatting but I am forced to post this on my phone now. Any help would be appreciated!

    Any direction on how to reset the update or anything like that would be great, thanks!

  • System Preferences no longer stick after 10.10.1 update

    I've upgraded from OS X 10.10 to 10.10.1 today.
    The upgrade caused various system preferences to change, and now I cannot change them back.
    While System Preferences.app seems to accept my changes, they are reverted after I quit and restart System Preferences.
    For example:
    Language & Region:
    - I used to have various languages in the list of my preferred languages. Since the update, only German remains in the list. Adding other languages does not stick.
    - My Region is set to Germany - English, which causes german text but english number formats to be used. Changing the number format to german does not stick.
    General:
    - When I click the scroll bar, this now causes the document to move by one page. I used to have the other setting (move to that location), but cannot reenable that.
    - Windows are now closed upon quitting applications. I don't want this, but removing the check box does not stick.
    Does anybody have an idea what the root cause may be and how to fix this?
    With kind regards
    Piers Walter

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • ITunes no longer "found" after sync

    I was disappointed to find that after syncing about 400 of my favorite songs to my iPhone with iTunes 7.3 (OS X), those tracks had the dreaded "grey arrow" beside them, indicating they could not be found.
    Of course, clicking the song made iTunes try and look in the last known location and sure enough, the songs opened up.
    This happened for newly purchased AAC and Enhanced AAC tracks from iTunes as well as ones I ripped from CD and even MP3s.
    Interesting note about the MP3 files - they were somehow reset to open with text edit (the notepad equivalent on a Mac) and i had to reset them to open with iTunes.
    Any one else experience this?

    A mystery that was related to having the files on a Buffalo Terastation NAS. When I changed the mappings of the SMB share, it worked.
