The Scanner in my HP3050 is not detected by my computer

I am using my HP3050 J610 from about three years. It worked nice for Two years , both printing, copying, and scanning.
From about a year , it stopped responding to scanning commands both from the printer tab or from the computer.
It allways gives the following message:
"The computer cannot detect the scanner"
I tried every possible solution incloding reloading the printer drivers, but it did not work.

  • Hp g6000 dvd drive not detected in my computer, tried registry fix and still not working.

    Hi i have a hp g6093ea laptop and for a couple of weeks now i have had my dvd drive dissapear from my computer.
    i have the tried the registry thing where you delete the upper and lower filters and then restart laptop.
    it worked then couple days later it  was gone  again. 
    i have removed the dvd from laptop and clean the connection and put it back still the same.
    i was told to remove any burning programs and reinstall so i did that and the drive came back then after reboot went again.
    the dvd drive ejects and has power and attempts to read the disk but its just not detected in my computer.
    i have even been into the bios and put cd drive as boot first.,
    then put my bootable xp pro disk in and it wont boot from the bios.
    so i thought i would try an external drive to boot from bios, and it doesnt boot from there either.
    i have had the drive randomly pop up in my computer and then after a restart it would be gone again.
    so i cant put a fresh install on my laptop and  i dont know what else i can do.
    any help
    thanks

    How old is your laptop?
    Have you had any other problems, besides the dvd drive, in the past few months?

  • IPod Touch not detected by "My computer" and Spotify

    Hello!
    My iPod Touch 4th generation, wich is completely new, is not detected in "My Computer" or Spotify, only in iTunes. I have tried with updates and reboots, but nothing seems to work.
    When troubleshooting in iTunes, it finds nothing wrong.
    The iPod works perfectly fine with iTunes.
    I have Windows XP and USB 2.0.
    All help is appreciated! Thank you

    I have tried with an other PC:
    Before I installed iTunes on PC two, the iPod was recognized as a camera in "My computer".
    After installing iTunes on PC two, it worked completely fine with iTunes, but again failed to be recognized in "My computer".

  • HT1218 After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer.  We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

    After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer.  We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

    Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
    Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
    As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
    Is there a way to resolve this issue?

  • The scanner in my MX432 is not working...it always say not connected to PC...

    The scanner does not work!...I was able to use it only once when I bought it...now I want to scan some photos but it kept saying not connected to PC...what should I do??

    Hi smrdhdmom,
    To resolve this, please follow these steps:
    1. Click on the Canon IJ Network Scan icon in the upper right hand corner.
    2. Click on Open Settings.
    3. Click Register Scanner.
    4. The Twain Data Source Name should read Canon MX432 Series Network. Click on the MAC address and then click Apply.
    5. Make sure that the PIXMA MX432 has a checkmark next to it in this list.
    6. Click OK. Once the MX432 is selected, please make sure that the MX432 is selected in MP Navigator as well.
    To do this, please follow these steps:
    1. Open your Applications folder, click on the Canon Utilities folder and then open the MP Navigator.
    2. Click on the Preferences button.
    3. The PIXMA MX432 that should be selected is the network attached, not the USB attached. The network PIXMA MX432 will be named PIXMA MX432 (xxx) with the mac address of the unit in parenthesis, just as it appeared in the Canon IJ Network Scan Utility.
    4. Click OK. Scanning should now be possible over your network.

  • HT4972 i have iphone 3gs v 4,2.1 i want to upgrade to ios 5 i will erase all data, how can i install again the software, and now my device can not detect to my computer? what can i do? please help me..

    have iphone 3gs v 4,2.1 i want to upgrade to ios 5 i will erase all data, how can i install again the software, and now my device can not  be detect to my computer? what can i do? please help me..

    You can not install iOS 5. It is no longer signed by Apple. You can only install the current version of iOS. For a 3GS, that's 6.1.3.
    However... if you have 4.2.1 on your phone, odds are it is not a 3GS, it is a 3G. If that's the case, you've reached the end of the road for that. It can not run anything higher than 4.2.1.

  • HT1535 The iPod tab next to the iTunes store tab pictured is not shown on my computer.

    I cant sync my music to my iPod anymore because it doesnt show up on the taskbar at the top.
    Is this an iTunes 11 update change, or is it because of my Windows 8 computer, or is it the settings I have on my computer by default.

  • Bluetooth connectivity problem: sees the mouse but reports it's not detected at the same time

    All of sudden my mouse lost connection to my Mac. When clicking bluetooth icon in menu bar it's highlighted in bold and marked as "connected", but when I open Mouse Preferences all I see is that it tries to scan its presence and in fact is stuck at this stage. The charge is enough. More so, I wasn't able even to both disconnect the mouse and turn off Bluetooth. Console logs were the following:
    20.03.15 10:50:48,000 kernel: AppleUSBBluetoothHCIController::SendHCIRequest on suspended device! Data begins with: 0x01040533

    I took bluetooth plist from my User Library and moved it to Desktop then restarted. After that the system created the new plist and the problem disappeared.
    You may ask why I'm starting the thread? Well, partially because I got frustrated not expecting such Windows-like behavior but mainly because I'd like to bring an order to my knowledge for understanding certain OS X shortcomings. Could you please look into these plists - the older and the new one - and tell me where is the crucial difference between them that led to connection failure?
    Old bluetooth plist:
    The new plist:
    I.S.

    Since the version of OS X I use is soon to be left without Apple's support and Apple does NOT supplies Lion users with system updates my feedback is going nowhere. I know this is user-to-user forum,  I just was hoping for some clarification, but if you don't know the answer, so be it. Ok then, thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

  • Ipod nano Not detected in my computer or itunes

    Okay, first off, I have tried several different things to correct this issue, and NOTHING has become remotely helpful.
    My computer doesn't even make the little "ding" sound that I get with all my other usb devices upon plug in. The ipod will be charging and nothing else, nothing in device manager, my computer, itunes and wherever else it is at. The Ipod was given to my by a friend who moved away a few weeks ago, and I finally got the charger yesterday. The ipod can play songs and what-have-you but will not connect to the computer in anyway but to charge. Resetting does NOT work, I repeat, it does NOT work.
    I cannot restore it as it doesn't even get detected by anything on the computer. The cord is NEW so it is not that, all the usb ports WORK so it couldn't be that, and it is not my computer as I tried on a laptop and another desktop. I refuse to send it in for repairs as I do not wish to spend money on something I haven't even got to use, and would be extremely upset to get it sent back saying it's faulty. :/
    Oh and itunes is the latest version.
    READ THE WHOLE THING BEFORE OFFERING HELP.
    I will not read anything mentioning resetting, ports, computers, cable and all the stuff I have ALREADY tried.

    How can I give a detailed description of everything
    Well, you wrote you would not read any posts if you have already tried something so anyone responding would need to know exactly what you have tried.
    Have you restarted the *iPod Service*?
    "1- Quit iTunes.
    2 - Right click on My Computer/Computer and click Manage. If Windows requires your permission to continue, click Continue.
    3 - Click the plus symbol to the left of Services and Applications.
    4 - Select Services listed under Services and Applications.
    5 - Double click iPod Service in the right hand panel.
    6 - Click the Stop button under the General tab and leave the iPod Service Properties window open.
    7 - Connect your iPod and wait until it is visible in My Computer/Computer.
    8 - Click the Start button in the iPod Service Properties window.
    9 - Open iTunes."
    Check your registry keys -> A computer that is running Windows XP cannot detect a USB thumb drive, an Apple iPod, or an external hard disk drive
    The ipod is obviously on a working cable if it can charge form the usb.
    Not necessarily.
    A USB cable has 4 pins, 2 for power and 2 for communications/data transfer.
    Don't even need the 2 comm lines for it to charge.
    they will force me to pay too much for a new one.
    They won't "force" you to do anything.
