8500 LCD display shows garbage after a reset

8500 all-in-one printer: I called tech support for a jam message. They attempt to download the latest printer firmware. They can't get the firmware loader to start up so that eventually ask me to unplug the printer, hold down the # and the 6 keys and plug in the power to perform a hard reset of factory settings. On power up all displays in the LCD printer screen are total unrecognizable garbage. Every now and then an "[OK]" will scroll by but nothing else is comprehensible. They eventually agreed to send a replacement printer and I was back in business. 6 months later the paper jam message starts again. Tech support again tells me to do the #, 6 power off/on reset and again the LCD display goes to garbage. They were again not able to download new firmware to the printer and again a replacement is coming. Each time they say they have never seen the display show only garbage and implied that I was crazy. Has anyone else seen the LCD display only show garbage (this is NOT a foreign language but special characters, etc)? Repeating the power on reset does not change the display to something understandable. I would like to be able to fix this myself and get HP to say that they have seen this before. It can't be just me.

Dude... I just figured it out. Since you cannot read the menus on the printer LCD, you have to go in via the built-in Web Server. Here's what I did:
1) check your main router for printer's IP address in DHCP table. Name of my printer was "HP7243AC".
2) Type that IP address into your browser (does work on Chrome)
3) On the web page that comes up, go to Settings tab
4) On the index at the left of the page, click on International, under Preferences.
5) Set Country/Region to USA, and Language to English.
Boom... done in two tics.
Hope this helps!

Disk Utility shows faults after factory reset

Hi there,
I have made a factory reset on my Mac mini (Late 2012). For that I have the hard drive erased and reinstalled Mac OS X 10.8 using the backup partition. Right after the installation, I checked the permissions with Disk Utility. The following problems of access rights were found:
Zugriffsrechte für „Mac OS X“ überprüfen
Gruppe unterscheidet sich auf „Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist“, korrekt wäre 80, Gruppe ist jedoch 0.
Abweichende Zugriffsrechte für „System/Library/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/CoreGraphics“, Soll-Wert: lrwxrwxrwx , Ist-Wert: lrwxr-xr-x .

Abweichende Zugriffsrechte für „System/Library/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Versions/Current“, Soll-Wert: lrwxrwxrwx , Ist-Wert: lrwxr-xr-x .
Is this normal for a clean installation?
Best regards,

Yes. Those are permissions that may never get repaired, but aren't a problem if you run repair permissions and get those errors.

Re: S3 state.
S0 ~ S5 are the various sleep states on a computer. This ranges from no sleep [fullly on=0] to full sleep [ System off=5]. This is based on the Intel/Microsoft whitepaper describing the various states of ACPI. S=3 is supposed to be equivialant to "Suspend to Ram". So after suspend resume, max fan, until controlled by PC Alert in XP. Hope thats clear?

White screen after replacing LCD display myself. Help needed!

I tried replacing the cracked LCD display, the fuctions on the iPod is still working but after replacing the LCD display it turns out to be white. I search the internet for solution but can't find any instead the possible problem. I found forums stating it could be the 'GPU chip' is fried on the logic board. I tried the cracked LCD on another iPod Touch 2nd Gen and found out that you could still see the outline of the lockscreen and time but when I tried on the original iPod Touch 2nd Gen it's just white, the same goes for the new LCD display. It's there any possible way to replace just that part without resetting the iPod Touch to its factory settings and how much would it cost?

There

IOS 7 music app does not display artist pictures and has incorrect album art after master reset.

Strange issue here. I did the update from iOS 6 to iOS 7, after I did the update, I noticed my synced music has just a random photo of the artist / group, that seems to be downloaded from the iTunes sites, because these pictures of the artist/group is not my album artwork.
I did a master reset on my device because I wanted to start from a clean slate, and set it up as a new phone. I went through and adjusted all of my settings and synced my music back on via iTunes, now its not showing these pictures any longer, infact, the strangest issue of them all.. is now when I view artists, the album that I synced now has a complete different album artwork picture that is not related to that album.
I am at a loss, my iTunes is extremely organized, I have everything configured to be 100% accurate for track names, artist, album, and album artwork.
Anyone have any input here? It only screwed up after the reset I did. This has to be a bug or something.

SiMooew469: Thank you! After countless wasted hours messing with this, your solution was the only one that worked! After setting up a few phones "as new" I noticed all the artist images would appear (for those that have one) even with my Match turned on. I could not duplicate it on my restored-from-backup iPhone5S, as I would get a mix of the images and album art, even for those artists that have profile photos on the as-new setups. I couldn't afford to lose all my text messages, etc. that come with restoring a phone as-new, so I tried about everything else under the sun: I tried logging in-and-out of my Apple ID, toggling Match on-and-off, I even deleted iTunes_control folder using iExplorer on a Windows machine. Nothing worked.
Here's what finally did:
If you don't have it set this way already, toggle "Group By Album Artist" in Settings->Music. For some reason that makes a difference for some artists in your library that appear when album artist is set to "Various Artists" or something other than the track's artist. Logout of your Apple ID. Log in with any other Apple ID. Open the Music app and watch all the artist images load in the Artisits tab. Once it is done, logout of the other Apple ID and login with your regular Apple ID. Finally, all the artist images will remain. Those artists that do not have a profile photo with iTunes will still show album art, which is by design. Hopefully Apple will keep updating that database.
Incidentally, it's a bit odd that those profile photos don't appear in the Artists view in iTunes 11...or am I the only one?

I recently restored my iPhone 4s from back-up after being reset. An app that I had turned off in back-up did not show up in my recent resoration. I forgot to turn that app back on. Would there be any way I would be able to get the data from that app?

I hope this will help you with your problem:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
You can restore your backup whenever you want from iTunes or iCloud, depending where you made it.
Let us know if you succeeded or need any further help.
I believe you are missing the point. The OP has already restored from back up, but failed to include a specific app in the back up and is trying to recover data for it, which in this case is not possible.

LCD display in reverse video, B&W, can't seem to reset

The LCD display on our PowerBook G4 kicks into reverse video, black & white, after a normal boot where we see regular colors, including the desktop for a moment. We have walked through all the possible display settings and can't find anyplace where we could accidentally put our settings to reverse video.
The fact that we can see normal colors until the end of the boot would indicate that nothing is physically wrong with our LCD panel.

Hi, Gaydpdx. Press the following key combination: Command-Option-Control-8.
Someone has inadvertently typed that key combination on your computer, invoking one of the display settings for visually-impaired users that are found in the Seeing tab of the Universal Access pane of System Preferences.

Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

DO A BACKUP FIRST
Use your recovery partition so you can reset everything.(power up up holding the COMMAND R keys and restore OS X You can do a restoration and start from square one.
Your profile does not disclose the version of OSX but from the forum you posted in I assume your are running 10.7 Lion, which is wnat a Mac uses.You have listed in your profile iOS and a iPhone, iOS is used for iPhones, iPads, iPods...mobile devices, and is quite different from OSX which is used by Mac computers.
As well as the year and model ID of your mac. (You can find this info by clicking on the Apple logo in the menu bar>About this Mac>more info/system profile (depending on which OSX you are using) then posting it, so that we can eliminate the "guessing" of of how to possibly provide help/advice/suggestions to you
Without this info it is difficult to help someone reading this post to offer advice/suggestions.

Hello people, my MBP's systempref>Display shows "Color LCD" when ity should have been MacBook Pro! YTF is it like that?

Restart screen and no volume after LCD display replacement

Hello All,
I recently replaced a broken LCD display on my Powerbook G4. It starts up fine and I can even use my laptop for certain things. However, I get no sound and when I try and play songs off of itunes, quicktime files or any program that requires video or sound I get the "you need to restart your computer" screen. Any help or advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Jay

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you replace the screen yourself, you may have missed some cable connections.
If the clock battery is over 4 years old, I'd get it replaced.
If the clock battery is under 4 years old, check these articles:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
If you had someone else replace the screen, ask them to fix the damage they did which left you without audio and is causing kernel panics.
My FAQ* here explains what can cause kernel panics:
http://www.macmaps.com/kernelpanic.html
Which is your "You need to restart your computer" screen.

What on earth do you mean by shattered? Can you post a picture?
It's always possible that the connector was damaged but not to the point that chargers wouldn't work. With continued use, the damage got worse until the connector could no longer feed electricity into the phone.
It sounds to me like you need to get your phone replaced but only the folks at an Apple store can say for sure.
