Can't get this multifunction unit to complete a scan! Help!
ARG! I have a Samsung Laser multi-function SCX-4521F. It overall works great, except they designed it so it doesn't send a signal over USB when turned on, therefore, I have to plug and unplug the USB cable or log in and out in order for the printer to be recognized. And a few other minor design complaints, but the quality and reliability is great.
Now I'm trying to scan and after getting a nearly successful preview showing that actual image data is getting transferred, I then get this pop up:
http://ozmusic.com/aaron/scan%20error.png
It seems to be related to some TWAIN issue. Sometimes activity monitor shows the Twainbridge hanging. It consistently gives this error if I unplug the Samsung during an operation, and it always happens just after getting the preview mostly done. I've got the latest drivers installed. If I use Photoshop, then it crashes after this happens. Image Capture just stops working. If I unplug the USB and start everything over, I can do a preview again, but I've never been able to get a successful scan. Samsung support has been unhelpful in the past and I'm just getting so overwhelmed. Can anyone possibly come up with a solution or suggestion or anything??
In the past, I had an EPSON inkjet all-in-one and though I tried to uninstall everything, I'm not sure I did everything perfect (but I really do know what I'm doing and I searched out everything I could think of). Maybe something of that is part of the problem. Overall, I'd go with Samsung's developers being a bunch of half-assers and jerk-offs. Still, it got the image into the computer during preview, so it's working in a way, I just need it to keep going and let me do the scan! AIGH

I installed a generic scanner thing to see if I could use that driver... and then somehow the normal drivers and normal interface for the scanning actually started working. I don't know what got fixed, but I'm happy it works now.

How can i get this set up to work? PLEASE HELP
Ok so right now i have a airport express, and i bought a xbox 360. I want a wired connection for my xbox 360, so the guy at bestbuy said to buy a dlink EBR-2310 switch so i would still have a wireless connection for all the laptops, phone, etc in my house, and still get a wired connection for my xbox from the switch.
How can i make this setup work?
Modem -> Dlink EBR-2310 Switch -> Airport Express
I tryed connecting it all but i cant load a single web page on anything connected to the airport express which is a big problem. PLEASE HELP I CANT RETURN THE SWITCH, THANKS.
btw i would connect the xbox through ethernet from the switch.Unfortunately the advice you got was not correct. The issue is that the modem is only expecting a single device to be connected to it. By connecting a Ethernet switch directly to the modem, the modem will provide an IP address to the first device it "finds." That means all other devices will not gain access.
What you needed to connect to the modem was a router with a built-in Ethernet switch, like the AirPort Extreme or similar router. -

When I try to upgrade to Mountain Lion OS form Lion OS, after I select the "Buy App" option I get this "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed" message, what is causing this problem, how can I find a solution, is someone else having this problem?
The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
Hope it helps. -
I cut and pasted a description from the Internet. It posted as a link in iPhoto. It seems to have made a global change--all my descriptions are now blue, underlined, and Times Roman 12 rather than Arial white. How can I get this back to the default?
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,

Hello, I want to restore a backup from this afternoobut in i-tunes it is not visseble. When I'll look on te pc: (username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ it's there! How can I get this backup to my iphone or itunes? Thanks in advance!
Follow the steps in this article to restore from iTunes back up:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Since you say you cant see the back up in iTunes you should be able to see it when following the last step where it says for iTunes 10.7 or earlier. Dont worry as this step also works for iTunes 11. -
I have installed the cars 2 app mate on a ipad 2 from an ipad 1 synced with itunes account.. all is working except this app. After many times of un installing and re installing aswell as talking to apple tech suport this app is still not working.... its there it just has no function...... how can i get this installed and working, my grandson is autistic and uses this app many hours a day........ it is important for me to get this up and running again for him.......
(1) So, I found a youtube video showing how to open up my iMac and replace a Disk drive. I opened it. I removed the disk drive. I opened the metal cover of the lid of the disk drive. It was clean and immaculate; so, it destroyed and debunked the dirty drive theory. But, just to make sure I sucked around the optical sensor with a vacuum and gently brushed it with a Q-tip.
(2) I then watched a you tube video showing how the drive operated (it was a drive supplied with power outside an iMac with a transparent cover unlike the opaque metal cover that we have on our drives). My scientific curiosity started to wonder if somehow the mechanical part (of the electro-mechanical assembly) was locked or jammed. So, I started messing with the arms with the utmost care after watching the video to see if i could move them manually. Yes on some. The main arm that is linked with the drive motor was immovable. The rest I played with a little bit, took great notice in the start of the video to see how the arms looked before inserting a disk. I then put it all back together.
It works now. My guess is that taking it out and then placing it back in along with the resetting options that others have done was the trick. I believe it is a possibility that the hard drive became locked mechanically in some strange manner after ejecting a DVD in conjunction with the uploading of the new OS. I believe the actual removal, reinstallation, and resetting of the drive put everything back into sync. My computer sits in a climate controlled dust free environment. I knew for a fact that this hard drive was OKAY. -
My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?
1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

User created apple id account, verified but know she is unable to log on, it says incorrect password, she tried to reset via forgot password option but it does not send reset password page to here e- mail address, how can i get this sorted? or how can i get her whole apple account deleted and created new one using same e - mail address?
The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

When I am home, calls to my iPhone 5 also go to my other family members' iPhones. How can I get this to stop happening?
Or better yet, create and use new Apple IDs for others in your household. You could always use different Apple IDs for iCloud services (like iMessage and FaceTime) and iTunes and App Store., but it's even easier to share purchased content now with Family Sharing.

I bought 3 iPhone 4s and each should have 5gb of cloud. I want to only use my one iTunes ID. How can I get this storage space increased to the 15 GB?
iCloud storage is not allocated by device. iCloud storage is allocated to your iCloud AppleID. You get 5GB of iCloud storage.

Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash. How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder? I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.
Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password. I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes. Please help.
