C4780 locks up on attempts to setup wirelss

I have a new iMac running latest OS.  During Setup, the printer -- while connected via usb -- sees my network.  However, upon hitting Continue to get it attached to the network, I receieve a popup box saying "Device Not Connected...connect via USB"
It is connected.  The problem is, as soon as it attempts to sync with my Airport Extreme (no Express on my network) the printer goes into full lock up and I have to diconnect the power to get it going again. 
I've tried all levels of wireless security, including stripping it down WIDE OPEN...the c4780 still sees the network name, but upon trying to attach, it locks up and I get the Device Not Connected error box. 
Can anyone please assist?
Settings:
Airport Extreme: Wide Open, No MAC filtering, No password, No security, Class N with B/G compatibility.
OS 10.6.4
iMac 27"
No other issues.  Network works fine with both n/b/g devices. 
I tried connecting the printer to a neighbor's network....and while it didn't work because of signal strenght, the HP Setup software did attempt to move forward and the c4780 did NOT lockup.
What else can I try?  I'm at a complete loss after 60 minutes of doing just about everything.
Thanks,
Kent

From where did you get the HP software?  If from the CD and unless your CD says it specifically supports 10.6 Snow Leopard, you must uninstall it using the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Now, run a Software Update.
Next, remove and re-install the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.
Download the software from the "Support and Drivers" link at the top of this page.  Scan from Preview or Image Capture apps. Scanning from the front panel of the printer does not yet work.

  • An error occurred in lock management when attempting to set a lock on table

    Hi All,
    I am getting the error 'An error occurred in lock management when attempting to set a lock on table SWWWIHEAD.'
    Sometimes the workitem is not created by the Workflow due to above error & this happens rarely but keeps coming.
    cany anyone guide or help me how to correct this problem.Is it happening due to my custom code making locks on the above table?
    Thanks in advance.
    Pls do reply

    I think you should not use any code to lock the table SWWWIHEAD.  Please let us know why you are writing code to put lock on this table.
    Thanks

    how do I re-activate my phone after its been locked due to attempting an incorrect pass code too many times?

    Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes.  If iTunes asks for the passcode and yu can't enter the passcode or you do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:

  • Dialup crawling after attempting to setup LAN

    We live in a rural area where we can not yet get high speed (except Hughes...too expensive--Wild Blue sold out of bandwidth--no one close enough for wireless yet). My dialup worked fine on my Mac until I attempted to setup a mixed Mac/PC 'network' by just connecting the Mac to the PC via the respective ethernet cards using Cat5e (still have not gotten that to work-Help?). Anyway, after messing with the ethernet and dialup settings on the Mac, my dialup (no, I'm NOT sharing the dialup connectioin)on the Mac is now really, really slow. The speed on the PC is normal. The computers both have their own phone jacks. Anyone know why the internet speed on the Mac changed?

  • TS2446 my ipod touch locked after several attempts with the wrong password. how to i reset?

    my ipod touch locked after several attempts with the wrong password. how do i reset the password.

    If it's showing the disabled screen due to too many incorrect passcode attempts then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • Order is locked by user while filling setup table

    Hi Experts,
    Yesterday while i am filling setup table for 2LIS_DM_VAITM (DBM Sales) data source it got cancelled.
    It showed that " Order xxxxxx is locked by user".
    Because we have DSO concept in our CUBE, we didn't lock users.
    But then the basis checked the users and removed from the system.
    But still after removing the users, when we do the setup filling it still gets cancelled showing the same error.
    Please help on this. Now i am stuck in filling setup section.
    Thanks,
    Thilini

    Hi,

    I want to know that, is everything fine?
    Setup table is filling right?

  • DEVICE IS LOCKED DURING WRONG ATTEMPTS

    HAI..
    MY BLACKBERRY DEVICE Z3 IS LOCKED DURING WRONG ENTERD THE PASSWORD... ATTEMPTS ALSO COMPLETED.. IS ANY CHANCE TO UNLOCK MY DEVICE

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    First:
    http://kathrynvercillo.hubpages.com/hub/What-People-Think-When-You-Type-in-All-Caps
    Second, please clarify exactly which credentials you have failed to correctly enter.
    The user-created device lock password? If so, then failing too many times will WIPE the device clean, and there is no way to stop it.
    Your BBID credentials? If so, then failing too many times will lock your BBID account for some period of time, but it will automatically unlock once that time passes.
    The carrier unlock MEP code? If so, then there is nothing to be done...failing too many times locks the device to it's original carrier, and only the factory can reverse that.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • User gets locked in lesser attempts than security policy setting

    Hi
    I have written my customized login code to login a user to the
    portal and I user the following code:
    IUser myUser = UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserByLogonAlias(username, null);
    IUserAccountFactory accountFactory = UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory();
    IUserAccount account = accountFactory.getUserAccountByLogonId(myUser.getUniqueName());
    ILogonAuthentication ILA = UMFactory.getLogonAuthenticator();
    req.setAttribute(JUSER,myUser.getUniqueName());
    req.setAttribute(JPASSWORD,password);
    ILA.logon(req,res,AUTHSCHDEFAULT);     
    I notice that whenever I try to logon using my code with a
    wrong password, the user gets locked in 3 attemps even though the security policy
    (at ABAP and in Portal UME Configuration) setting for number of failed attempts is set to 5.
    (Although, please note that my code works fine logging the
    user into the portal when he enters the correct password)
    I try to check if the same thing happens with the standard logon module - com.sap.portals.runtime.logon,
    and notice that it locks correctly after 5 attempts.
    Would I have to add anything else in my code to make it work
    correctly?
    Thanks
    oj

    Hi All
    I tried to check in the CUA table the incorrect logon attempts value, and noticed that for every time I login (using my above code) with the wrong password, it increments the count by 2!! And that's the reason it gets locked out by the third time.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

  • "Create" button dim when attempting to setup mirrored RAID in Disk Utility.

    I'm trying to setup a mirrored RAID in Disk Utility (v10.5.6) in MacOS 10.4.11 on a PowerMac G5. I've got the System and all of my files on a 500 GB Seagate internal drive and I've added a blank 500 GB Western Digital internal drive to be the mirror. When I boot from the Seagate drive and run Disk Utility, I can follow all of the instructions for setting up a mirrored RAID (except the last instruction):
    1) Launch disk utility.
    2) Select my boot drive.
    3) Click on the RAID tab.
    4) Enter a RAID Set Name and select a Volume Format (Mac OS Extended Journaled).
    5) Drag a drive or volume to the set. Okay, I actually have a problem here, because if I drag the boot volume or drive to the set, nothing happens (it doesn't appear in the selection box). So I drag the blank volume to the set and it shows up in the selection box.
    6) Select RAID type (RAID Slice).
    7) Click the "Create" button.
    That's the step that I can't complete; the "Create" button is dimmed (grayed out, disabled). My boot drive isn't partitioned (it has just one volume), I've run Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions before I attempted to set up the RAID, and both drives are formatted as "Mac OS Extended Journaled." The only potential cause I can think of is that the two drives I'm using, though they're both 500 GB drives, are from different manufacturers. I can't imagine that would make a difference though.
    Why is the "Create" button dimmed?
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Hi there,
    Thanks for your help!
    Your explanation makes sense. I've just recovered from a hard drive failure and although I'd backed up most of the files the night before, I still lost a day's worth of email and several days worth of other files. Mirroring appealed to me because then I'd always have a completely up-to-date copy of everything, but your bad experiences with it give me pause.
    Is there another backup strategy you can recommend that would give me really up-to-date backups of my entire boot volume?
    Thanks again!

  • Password locked after 5 attempts

    Helo
    I use IDM 11, I need to take a policy that blocks the password for 30 minutes after five attempts.
    Can anyone help me?
    Tks

    There is a system configuration setting that lets you define how many invalid login attempts. You can create an event hanlder that when the user is locked, sets a time stamp for the lockout. Then you'll want to create a scheduled task that checks locked users with > 5 login attempts (USR_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS_CTR) and lockout timestamp is more than a 30 minute difference, and then unlock the user with the apis and set the counter back to 0, or whatever you need to do.

  • Zen screen goes black and locks up when attempting to dock to compu

    When attempting to dock my Zen to my computer, it first starts like it is attempting to dock and then the screen goes black and the player locks up. I have to reset it in order to get it to come back on. This happens when trying to dock with Zen Media Explorer and Media Monkey. I have tried it on another computer and it happens there too. Help!

    You are talking about a Creative Zen MP3 2/4/8/6/32 GB (flash) player?
    Then check if you have the latest firmware on your Zen?
    If you do have the latest firmware e.g. < Latest revision [.2.0] 28Feb08> then
    try this:
    Recovery Mode - If you experience one or more of the following symptoms, it is recommended that you boot the player into its unique Recovery Mode, and then clean up, format or reload the firmware.
    . The player is not detected in Creative MediaSource or Windows Media Player
    2. The battery does not last as expected
    3. Your computer stops responding during file transfers
    4. There is a power outage during file transfers
    5. There is an error about firmware
    6. LCD displays a "Firmware Problem" message
    7. Your player is not responding.
    8. The player is performing erratically <---------- - ?
    Just clean-up and reboot.

  • IPad screen locks up when attempting to stream video?

    2. Reset iPad
    3. Try streaming video again.

  • Lock up and attempted restart on recent recordings

    Recordings made since about 10 days ago are giving me problems. They will lose sound about 1 second before freezing. After about 1 minute the vbox than tries to restart itself, but the restart screen just flickers every 10 seconds like it's recycling. It never gets any where with the restart, I have to pull the power. Restarts ok when power is restored.
    The freeze points are repeatable. I can try playing a recording again and it will freeze at the same frame. I can fast forward and backward past the freeze point as long as I do so before it locks up. There are also multiple freeze points in recordings. The freeze points in the recordings are not at set times or lengths, just appear random.
    Watching live is ok. Signal strength looks the same as it ever did. Older recordings play back without any problem. I've got two other PVRs and have made simultaneous recordings on all three as a test; the vbox has problems, the other two don't even show a flicker.
    Anyone got any ideas. I think the vbox is going faulty. Can't recall exactly how long I've had the vbox but it's over 18 months or so and it's worked nigh on perfectly all the time.
    Thanks,
    mark
