Cannot connect wirelessly to HP Photosmart C4380 with new driver/software

I have been using my HP Photosmart C4380 for years without a problem. I've upgraded to OS X Yosemite v.10.10.4 and with that I regularly do automatic driver updates through the Apple Software Update. Recently my wireless connection to the printer stopped working. In the past I simply reconnected it via USB and ran the Network Wizard Setup app to reconnect it to the network. I can't seem to find that app anymore with the new software updates. I've tried configuring it through the new HP Utility app to no avail. The Setup New Device and HP Auto Wireless Connect options cannot locate my printer unless connected to USB and will not give me an option to configure the network settings. I have referenced http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04510394/ also with no luck. The printer does not have a Wireless Wizard Setup on it's LCD options as per Step 1 under the wireless connection instructions. And the WPS option in Step 2 does not work becuase the wifi button on the printer only brings up the Network menu where my only options are to turn the wireless radio on/off and to print a configuration page. There are no options to connect to a network. Connecting the printer to my laptop via USB works in a pinch if I need to print something, but I'd like to not be tethered to it and restore my wifi connection which used to work in the past.

I reset the printing system. Still not having any luck. I can only get my printer as far as a temporary 169.254.207.168 IP address. That brings me to this page with two tabs. In this tab, I'm able to change the SSID to my network and add the WEP. I've tried both Infrastructure and Ad Hoc (since I didn't know which to use) but both have not been successful. The page times out after awhile and I click my wifi setting to check the connection. I can then connect to my printer whose name has changed from hpsetup to my network name...but is still listed under devices. So I click on that device and run another newtork config page and I still get the same 169.254.207.168 IP address. So then I tried two things:1. Switching over to my actual wifi network with the name network name. This does not read my printer anymore and I get an 0.0.0.0 IP address2. While connected to the network listed under devices, I tried adding the Printer in my Printer & Scanner settings. This works and prints, but only when connected under the devices wifi, and not my normal wifi. When I switch to my normal wifi and try to print, it can no longer find the printer. I seem to be having trouble getting an 192.168 IP address for my printer so that it can read on my normal Wifi network without being listed as just a device....

Cannot connect wirelessly to HP Photosmart B110a

This has been bugging me ever since a tech told me my printer will not work wirelessly with Apple products. I've been connecting it directly to MacBook Pro and iMac and it works, but true enough it has never really worked wirelessly as it should, maybe couple of times with iPad HP app, also the scanning worked.
Accordingy to HP Wireless Network Test Report everything works. Adding the printer from System Preferences works in a way, the printer shows up as Bonjour Multifunction, but when trying to add it I get this: "Setting up Photosmart B110 series" > "Unable to communicate with the printer at this time".
The same thing happens if I plug the printer to the Airport Extreme router.
I remember being able to find the printer with a browser by typing in 192.168.1.238 (from the Test Report) but that doesn't work with any Mac or PC.
Reseting the printer services at System Preferences>Printers&Scanners won't help, or doing the HP printer reset.
I'm very curious about this because I was told there is a wireless bug with this HP printer and it just cannot be fixed. Since it has the SD card lot of people just use the card to store the scans and do printing, very convinient. I have seen dozens of these with a continuous ink cartridge setups, and the complete set of XL ink cartridges can be had for about 12USD so that way it's a cheap printer to own.

Can No Longer Connect Wirelessly to HP Photosmart D110 after Comcast All-in-One Modem Upgrade

Hello,
I just replaced my former modem +router setup with a new "all-in-one" "Wireless Gateway 1" modem from Comcast (model # TC8305C). The setup guide for the new modem states: "The Wireless Gateway 1 is an all-in-one product that connects XFINITY internet and home networking. It provides wired and WI-FI connectivity, so there's no need for a separate router." I was previously able to connect wirelessly to the Photosmart D110 from my laptop. When I tried to update the network information on the printer sing the printer's Wireless Setup Wizard, the network name did not appear in the list of available networks. I added the name, as requested, and then added the network password associated with the new modem. However, the printer's Wireless Network Test Report said that "the printer cannot find my wireless router." Specifically, the Test said that the new network name was found, but said that the passcode was incorrect. I repeated the setup 3 times and did type the network passcode correctly. Will the printer not work wirelessly due to the new all-in-one modem? Is there a way to remedy this? I apologize for being pathetically non-technical, and would be grateful for any assistance! Thanks.

OK, first wireless Gateway (modem/router combo) units are terrible for wireless connection. It is always, always best to use a separate modem and router in your network that YOU have control over instead of Comcast. If you have your old router it would be best to call Comcast and have that Gateway put in Bridge mode (disables the router section) and connect your own high quality router. With that said, let's try this. Set the router to a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto'. If you still can't connect, remove all security off the routers SSID. Now try to connect to your SSID with no security. Are you successful?

2. After changed, the web apps cannot access and cannot access ePrint too.
3. Airprint from iPhone cannot detect the printer consistently.
I am thinking to return the product but the 8500a also having the same problem.

Detail:
I've recently purchaced a 4TB Thunderbolt drive to store my "vast" music and photo libraries. iPhoto had an issue reading the moved library, so I bought and used iPhoto Library Manager to "rebuild" it. Apart from much of the original data such as date taken & camera used etc, it appears to be working well. The aforementioned mpg video was taken some 9 years ago, using an early model "iMate" smart phone, and opens and plays fine on iPhoto, but I cannot open it with anything else, (I've tried iMovie, VLC players, Wondershare and Handbrake) nor can I share it. I just want to edit it, and share it with family.
Any help would be appreciated...

No - not iMovie, VLC, Wondershare or Handbrake... Quick time starts with a "CONVERTING", then I get

Hi, stig2013.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. Help.

My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. I don't want to lose anything. I have tried turning everything off and back on again. Desktop and laptop are working fine. Sometimes it turns on suddenly and I can use it for like 20 mins but then shuts off again. Same thing is happening with my dad's iphone, Help.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Can't connect to my home wi-fi with new Iphone 5?

can't connect to my home wi-fi with new Iphone 5

When you say it doesn't detect the network - is that under "Settings->Wi-Fi"? It doesn't show your network at all?
This may sound like a stupid question but since I've learned never to leave any stone unturned - you don't have your SSID set to "hidden" do you?

Creative Smart Recorder with new driver

'Creative Smart Recorder with new driver< I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2v purchased and installed in Oct, 2005. I use the Smart Recorder a lot and all was fine until two weeks ago when I downloaded and installed new driver software from Creative. All of the rest of the software works fine (no change or improvement in the operation in the card, which is why I went for the new driver), but?now when I try to start the ?Smart Recorder I get a Windows message "Creative Smart Recofder has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."? It asks if I want to Send Error Report. As far as I can tell Smart Recorder never opened. Other than putting my computer back into the what it was two weeks ago is there anything that I can do? I'm not sure that the previous driver, etc. is still there. Thank you.

+ Need to add something. I thought that if a program loaded I was okay. But, no. The media studio will load but is no longer connected, I mean nothing will record, not from the internet or the CD player. No connection. Whatever Creative gave me, it is not friendly with older versions of the software.

If you have installed a new hard drive , you will need to have formatted it in Disk Utility correctly. This may explain your problem.
Boot into your 10.6 Install disk again at the top menubar > Utilities > select Disk utility and in there select your new hard drive, and select the tab Erase and choose to make the format as Mac OS Extended Journaled. When that is finished look in the main window to make sure that the partition map scheme says GUID Partition Table.
Now go to the Restore tab and reinstall from your backup.

Cannot connect wirelessly with wpa_supplicant or netctl

Hey, I just installed arch linux. Also, I feel like I've accomplished some rite of passage just registering for these forums, as I had to get that command for the security question figured out (it failed a few times) then manually copy it to my laptop, which I'm using now. Anyway, here's my problem:
I failed to properly configure my internet connection while chrooted, as per the beginner's guide. Now I'm trying to fix it; I believe it's a problem with my config file. Here it is:
Description='Home wireless; WPA-encrypted'
Interface=wlp7s6
Connection=wireless
Security=wpa
IP=dhcp
ESSID='HOME-3D58'
# Prepend hexadecimal keys with \"
# If your key starts with ", write it as '""<key"'
# See also: the section on special quoting rules in netctl.profile(5)
Key='#######'
# Uncomment this if your ssid is hidden
#Hidden=yes
I sure hope I copied that right, I'm manually copying it from my desktop (where I just installed arch) to my laptop, which is up and running crunchbang.
when I execute
netctl start home-wireless
I get the output
Job for netctl@home\x2dwireless.service failed. See "systemctl status netctl@home\x2dwireless.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
executing the former (systemctl status....) gives
netctl@home\x2dwireless.service - Networking for netctl profile homex2dwireless
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/system/[email protected]; static)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:netctl.profile(5)
executing the latter (journalctl -xn) gives: (NOTE: dates and times have been left out because I'm tired of typing all this) also, replace <mac-address> with the mac address of my router (at least, I think it's my router...)
wlp7s6: deauthenticating from <mac-address> by local choice (reason=3)

wlp7s6: associated

cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: US
Derp.
when I try to use
iw dev wlp7s6 scan | grep SSID
I find my router (HOME-3D58). I then ran
wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp7s6 -c <(wpa_passphrase "HOME-3D58" "#######")
then, the console outputs
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
however, if I try to ping any website, I am told that the "network is unreachable"
halps?

Sorry because I am reading your post very fast and no deeply.
But, I think parameters like essid and key must not have quoting.
essid=myessid
key=/"####what you get from wpa_passphrase
This message:
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
not means you are connected.
Edit: (added)
There is an example in ArchWiki:

Cannot connect wireless to my timecapsule.

I am configuring my timecapsule for the first time.
I have been using an airport snow that has worked fine. But now I own a MacBook pro 3.06 Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.3 and thought I'd give it another try so I could use timemachine.
I can't get my laptop to connect wirelessly anymore.
When I set up the timecapsule I had it use all of the old settings. I'm using a linksys cable modem on Cox cable. I've tested and reset everything. The cable modem works since I am obviously online. The ethernet cable works, since I am obviously online.
But when I disconnect the ethernet cable from the laptop and connect it to the correct port on the timecapsule is cannot establish an interent connection.
The timecapsule is working. I get a green light when the ethernet cable is connected. And the "fan" is all black. But when I got into the network preferences it says self-assigned IP. I've tried creating a new network and reconfiguring the automatic. Nothing is working.
I'm getting tired of crouching in front of the TV because my ethernet cable isn't long enough. That's what a wireless network is for.
Everything seems to be working properly except the timecapsule. And when I run all of the diagnostics, etc. the only suggestion I get is to call my internet service provider. I know for a fact that that is not the problem. It's an apple problem. And if I call them they'll only refer me to apple. Who will refer me back to the isp.
I bought my laptop last Thanksgiving so I doubt my airport card has died in the last 6 months. So it's not the laptop.
That still leaves the timecapsulel. Greenlight. Full fan. Still no connection.
I'd welcome any suggestions.

Done all that.
Have full bar fan.
Appears to connect.
But then the bars go away and it grays out with an exclamation mark in the middle.
I've spent hours on this. I need to get this thing to work because without it I have no time machine back up. And I was hacked last night and ALL of my mail was deleted from my mobileme account. I can't back up and I have no mail. Now I have no internet either because I disconnected the snow to try to get the capsule working again. It still doesn't. Right now I'm crouched in front of the cable modem connected with an ethernet cable.
I can't live like this.
I've renamed it. I've changed the passwords. I've deleted the network names and made new ones and selected the capsule and put in the password and applied it and it still doesn't work.
What is it with this thing? Apple is supposed to be so simple a child could set it up. I've set up plenty of apple stuff. I set up my old Snow and it worked fine until I messed it up trying to configure the timecapsule. Now the Airport Utility can't even find the Snow anymore.
I need a step by step, simplified for a moron, detailed description of what I can do to get this running without deleting the one backup I have on the time capsule. Because that is my ONLY chance of recovering my e-mail.
