Constant problems with HP 309g-m wireless

I'm honestly about to throw this device out the window - it cannot retain connectivity with my wireless router for more than one print job.I've already had to replace the wireless antennae once, and I swear I've now spent more time troubleshooting it than using it...and more ink on those "there's nothing wrong" pages than anything we've printed.
Okay, so I'm not here just to vent. Two questions:
1. Is there some fatal combination of products/systems in my setup?
2. Is this just a broad based defect of the model?
Here's the facts:
Computer:
HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook
Windows 7, 64 bit
Router:
Cisco Valet Plus
Printer:
HP Photosmart Premium 3-in-1 309g-m

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). Yours is likely 192.168.1.100 to .149. Let's use 192.168.1.200 for the printer IP address.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Leave the gateway and DNS blank. Click 'Apply'
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

I'm having constant problems with pages not working. I.E.: I cannot fill in writeable fields, click on buttons... or anything... nothing on the page works. And, this is not exclusive to a particular site. I can, however, work well in Explorer.

For the last few weeks I have had constant problems with pages not working. I.E.: I cannot fill in writeable fields, click on buttons... or anything... nothing on the page works. And, this is not exclusive to a particular site. It does seem to be a browser issue, because I can work well in Explorer.

Both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

Problem with HP 6500-E709n Wireless software on Windows 7 64-bit

How do I, or should I, uninstall Microsoft xps printer before installing HP 6500-E709n software on Windows 7 64-bit?
I have tried installing, uninstalling & reinstalling the software twice now and am preparing for a third installation. I inadvertently left the wireless printer on during the first installation & eversince then, I've had to physically unplug the printer to get it to shut off. Now, the printer will only shut off with the power button if I hit it before the wireless light comes on. I cannot get the printer key pad keys to function at all, other than turning the power on & off as described above.
Up to now, I had been using a wireless network flawlessly with a NETGEAR router, untill I tried to install the HP software on my Windows 7 64-bit unit. Now my other computers no longer find the printer....I get the message the printer is off line.
I have currently unistalled all the HP software and rebooted for the third time. The Microsoft XPS printer now shows as the default printer...& I can't find it in the add-remove program list. Do I need to uninstall it before installing the HP software, or is my problem with the eprom firmware?

Constant problems with Java since upgrade to OS X 10.7

I recently purchased a Macbook Air with OS X 10.7 installed, now updated to version 10.7.5.
I'm having constant issues with Java and repeatedly being told to update to the latest version, even when I have the latest version installed (now Java 7 update 9). I've visited dozens of forums and seen posts about the same issue, but none of the solutions work for me.
I've seen variations of the following advice in several places:
Apple disables the Java plug-in and Webstart applications when the Java update is done using Software Update. Also, if the Java plug-in detects that no applets have been run for an extended period of time it will again disable the Java plug-in.
To enable the Java plug-in
Go to Finder > Applications > Utilities > Java Preferences.
In the Java Preferences window check the box for Enable Applet plug-in and Webstart applications.
But I can't find anything called "Java Preferences" in my Utilities folder. I found a Java control panel in my System preferences, and it tells me everything is OK and running.
I also see comments about emptying the cache (Java cache?), but can't find where it's kept. I also can't find where the Java plugins are stored. So what to do?
Thanks for any assistance.
Martha

I went to the link on the Support website, downloaded the Java from there (Java for OS X 2012-006) and installed it. Then I went to the Java control panel in System prefs and the information is exactly the same as it was before I installed Java version 6. It still says I have the recommended version of Java (Java 7 update 9), which is what I installed a few hours ago.
Then I went back to the website where I've been having problems today and went through the process of requesting a document from the Spanish tax authorities, which I've never had trouble with in the past (before Lion). I got the same results as earlier and the same page sending me to www.java.com to "download the latest version". So I'm back to square one.
There's a comment on the page your link sent me to that mentions the "Missing plug-in" region on some web pages, but I've never seen this anywhere. All I ever get is a message telling me to update my Java.
Is there another version of Java that would work better? If so, where can I get it?
Thanks.

Image problem with my palm (J2ME Wireless Toolkit)

Hi,
I did a basic application. I just show an image and it works perfectly with the J2ME Wireless ToolKit.
However, when I create the package, convert it and send it on my palm, everything is ok, except the image. It won't appair.
I get an exception that the image couldn't be found, but when I use the emulator, everything is ok !!!
The image is in the "res" directory, like it was asked in the manual.
I tought that everything is encoded (text file or image file) when you create the package. If it's working with the emulator, why is it not working on my palm?

I had a same problem with my nokia 3650 in J2me the image appears but not on the phone, I think that that is a bug and fixed it this way:
when you make a jar package, unpack package with winRAR or some archive program in some temp directory and in that directory make a res directory an put the image in it, then repack theese files again including the res directory in a new jar file. It works for me. It looks that J2ME in compiling doesn't change the path, to root but leaves the res directory.

Problems with Vodafone/Huawei E220 wireless usb Modem

Hi there,
My faithful Powerbook is having issues with a company issued Vodafone Vodem (Huawei E220 wireless HSDPA 3G USB modem).
It worked well at first, but then after restarting, waking from sleep or rebooting from off, the Vodem would cease to connect to Vodafone, with the Vodafone Modem Software giving me a cryptic message "No modem or data card attached".
Yesterday, I tried reinstalling and uninstalling the software, and after several installation/uninstallations, it finally reconnected. It has since stopped working again since shutting down the Powerbook overnight. Reinstalling has not yet worked.
I read somewhere on the net that leaving the modem plugged in for a minute before attempting to connect might work - alas no such luck.
Has anyone else out there had problems with their Vodafone/Huawei E220 USB wireless modem, and how did you resolve the problem?
I have tried both the New Zealand 2.07 version, plus the European 2.08 version of the Vodafone connectivity software.
I am running a Powerbook 15", 1.67ghz, MacOS 10.4.11, 512MB, no other peripherals connected.

No experience, but what happens if you log out then back in?
Does a New User have that problem?

Problems with a Belkin N wireless router

Weird problem I'm having.
Whenever I wake up my g4 powerbook from sleep, I can't seem to connect to the router despite having a full airport signal being displayed on my laptop. I have to "turn airport off", wait a few minutes and then turn it on again, 2 or 3 times before it connects again - despite the airport signal being at maximum strength. I also have an iPod touch which never has this problem and always connects first time. My laptop also has no problems connecting to other routers when on the move, just this one.
I did speak to Belkin who suggested the laborious process of changing the wireless channel until I find one that works well. I have the same problem on every channel. I'm beginning to think this is a specific problem between my router and my laptop as both components seem to be working in other pairings.

I have the same problem, but it's only one of the problems since 3.1 update:
1. Wifi Problems, like described in this topic
2.
Bluetooth disconnects after a few minutes from my car phone system, after another few minutes it reconnects.
3.
My iPhone is very slow. If I press the home button then it needs about 5 seconds to show the unlock slider. then I will unlock, nothing happend and other 5 seconds later the phone unlocks. To open the sms application sometimes needs many seconds. sometimes it's not possible to unlock the iphone and I have to reboot it.
I hope apple will provide a bugfix quickly, before that I never had problems with my iPhone.

Problems with internet box, not wireless router

I recently got another internet box hoping my problem with disconnections would be solved but sadly it hasn't... This is the second internet box I have gotten from Verizon and it wasn't any better. The first one kept disconnecting me from the internet and I called tech support and they couldn't help me so they just ended up sending me a new box. I thought it might be the wireless router but that didn't solve the problem either. Is there any way to get a newer better box because it seems like the generic box that Verizon sends doesn't last very long and recently I've been disconnecting from the internet anywhere from 2-3 times a day. Being a college student with all my homework online and a sister and brother also in college makes it really difficult when I can't rely on staying connected. If anyone can help with this I would be very happy.

#1 Is this on Verizon DSL OR on Verizon FIOS?
#2 What is the brand and model of this Internet box?

IPhone has constant problems with Computer-To-Computer network

I use a Computer-To-Computer network to connect my iPhone with my MacBook Pro when I'm at the office. This enables syncing of Things and OmniFocus between my iPhone versions of these programs and the versions on my MacBook Pro. I have one of the original (2G) iPhones. I daily go to my Airport icon on my Mac's menu bar, click on Create Network, and set up a password. I'm using 40-bit WEP.
This sort of syncing procedure worked fairly well until iPhone OS 3.0. Ever since then, it's been completely unreliable. I've tried changing the channel a number of times, and of course rebooting both the iPhone and the computer dozens of times. It's still a problem.
Anyone heard of this networking problem with 3.0? Any info appreciated! Thanks.

yes, i have been having problems with computer to computer networking to iphone as well. for now, the only thing that keeps a steady connection is removing the sim card, so keep a paper clip handy.

Constant Problems with Ideapad Y510P Trials and Tribulations no one wants to help me with

My trials and tribulations with my Ideapad Y510P, this website, the Customer Service, and the Repair Department are as dauntless, perilous, and stressful as the journey up Mount Doom to cast the One Ring into the fiery depths to end the reign of chaos Sauron raught to Middle-Earth. It begins with my external/slide-in Graphics Card turning on and off and outright stopping to work and putting all the burden on the internal graphics card (of the same kind). Ultimately I'm told to try out SLI and come to this website to find a shoddy trouble-shoot resolution to try and trick the OS and computer to use SLI properly to share the burden of more stressful games and games all together (which I didn't even TOUCH; it's above my knowledge of computers). For a small time it works but in the end the external graphics card stops working completely and all the burden is given to the internal graphics card which it too stops working. Eventually my laptops screen stops working as well and the OS, I had to crack open an old monitor to see what was going on, on my computer, when I turned it on the lenovo screen was constantly flickering like something out of a horror movie or a foreboding warning of what was to come that I'm now dealing with. I figure I should install Windows 7 because at this point and my lack of knowledge I have no idea how to reinstall Windows 8 from a non-properly working laptop with no CD Drive. In the beginning I thought two graphics card would be perfect for more stressful games, sharing the burden to ease it so they don't overheat; well that idea and thought process was shot out the window and into a corner where it was beaten to a bloody pulp. So I remove the HD from the laptop, go downstairs to my Desktop and hook it up and install Windows 7 into it, in hopes of maybe resolving issues or trying to at least get to the desktop to figure something out. Well it absolutely did nothing. So I bite the bullet and send it into the "Repair Department" thinking WHAT. COULD. POSSIBLY. GO. WRONG. I get it back today at around noon with all my hopes and dreams to find out that instead of putting Windows 8 back into the Y510P I'm given a Windows 7 Desktop asking me for a CD KEY that I don't have, this isn't even the same CD OS I installed onto it but one from the Repair Department asking for a CD KEY I have no means of acquiring. I also find out that apparently it wasn't the Graphics Cards at all but the MOTHERBOARD. OF COURSE! (sarcasm) SO I CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE Customer Service tells me they can't give me the the CD Key because they have no correlations to the Repair Department (this is starting to sound like a bad divorced couple) so they can't give me the CD Key, let alone email it to me. So I ask to talk to the Supervisior (who is probably the nicest thing that has happened thus far in my trails of Lenovo and the Misadventures of O_Green_World). He tells me that the motherboard is set to work with Windows 8 best and that I can install BIOS for Windows 7 on the website and to reinstall my copy of Windows 7 the way I did it before giving it to Lenovo, and or waiting for this Windows 8 CD which isn't even an OS but some sort of way to contact the Windows 8 on the Motherboard to install it that way (which is being mailed to me now). Now here is my fresh new problem with this whole shindig. I've installed my copy of Windows 7 onto my Lenovo Y510P. It doesn't have the installation drivers for the Ethernet or Network Controller, under Device Manager they are under "Other Devices" in the Device Manager window. So I can't can't a Ethernet Cable let alone Wifi in order to go onto Lenovo's website to download Windows 7 BIOS/Drivers for Y510P. ALSO, ALSO, if the computer falls asleep it doesn't wake up at all I have turn off the computer and turn it back on. For all that is good in the world please, someone, somewhere help. [Edit] - I just had to seperate my **bleep** post because it posted it as a giant wall of text.

Hello Sachin,
Here is the latest version of the code , I have tried many. I am not familiar with code that is why I came from Dreamweaver to Muse. Laugh, it would make you cry.
Dreamweaver is advertised as wysiwyg which it certainly is not. Muse advertises that you can build a website without knowing code( as long as you do not want to put a simple run of the mill animation on your site)! Having had my usual grouse I still love Muse as it does everything, well nearly everything it says it will do, and makes building a reasonable site possible for someone who has very little knowledge. Once you have sorted the code out I probably will need to talk to you again when it comes to uploading to server as I can see from the forums that this seems to be a weekness of the system also. Thanks for your cheerful reply to my utterly unreasonable previous communication and I look forward to you solving all my problems. I think' IT' is the only business in the world where people pay good money for products that don't work and are then told to go and chat amongst themselves on forums to see if they can solve the problems collectively. Couldn't resist that one I'm afraid. Old and grumpy! I hope you can access the code. I have no idea where it is but I copied it here in the html frame. I even find it difficult to use this forum. User friendly!

Constant problems with logic 8 (only in last 2 weeks)

Hi,
I've been using logic pro 8 since the day it came out, and have had hardly any problems with it.
Now all of a sudden it is crashing all the time, sometimes it just totally loses sound and my monitors just click and pop, or other times i get random 'blasts' of white noise through my left monitor!!
I put snow Leopard on a few days ago and it appears to be worse than ever for crashing now.
Anyone else had similar problems or know what the deal is here?
Many thanks
Tom

Interesting. There are many reports of this noise, but all (AFIAK) with Logic 9, not 8. I've had the same problem with LP9 but haven't with 8.

See if there's anything in that thread which helps.
Today I had this white noise bursts for the 1st time since I upgraded to LP9...the project is super simple...an audio track - flexed and muted ...and the bounce in place regions created from that on a second audio track...I was doing some fades so I was moving back and forth to the regions to listen and adjust the fades...
It's really loud and I'm glad I wasn't wearing headphones...

Constant problems with external HD used for time machine.

I have had numerous problems with my backup disk and can't seem to solve the problem... I often get errors with disk not ejecting properly, sometimes when the iMac has gone to sleep, sometimes not. Often the Mac won't recognise the disk when plugged back in (it recognises the other partition though). I can get the disk in disk utility sometimes, but if I run repair disk it finds a lot of errors and tells me it can't fix the disk. I'm told to Backup, format the disk etc.
Running yosemite on a 2008 iMac - disk is Hitachi 1TB usb powered (plugged straight in to iMac). I have prevented spotlight from indexing the HD.
Any advice ideas? Thanks in advance.

I can't because it's a specific type.
Is it hard-wired to the enclosure? If not, examine the connectors and compare with what is available. I doubt that it has a connector that is unique to this particular drive.
If you choose to replace the drive, don't get another manufacturer-branded external. They are often "crippled" so that they can't be used in anything other than the generally cheap enclosure in which they are packaged, or only usable if you re-format them. Here's a comment from a recent Macintouch thread on new Seagate 5TB externals (http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/harddrives/index.html#d23mar2015):
A word of warning for those who want to rip out their drive. If you have data on it, it will only be read by Seagate controllers such as its original case or the GoFlex adapters. If you stick it in something like an IcyDock, it cannot be read and require a reformat. If you used it with another controller, it cannot be read when you put it back on the Seagate controllers.
A good quality enclosure, such as the OWC Mercury aluminum cases, is a good investment. You can choose the drive you install, and you usually get a better drive warranty that way.

Constant Problems with ITunes

I have two continuing problems with ITunes which are incredibly annoying.
When I start Itunes on about one in three occasions it immediately shuts down again.
And it regularly shuts down after ripping a cd but without ripping the final track of the cd - and this happens irrespective of the number of tracks on the cd.
I have tried reinstalling itunes but it does not cure the problem.
Never had any problems with previous versions of ITunes. GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!

Constant "Problem with Shortcut" Every Time iTunes updates

Sorry to vent, but this really bugs me.
Ok, this can't be hard to fix and isn't hard for ME to fix when I update iTunes, but this is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY annoying.
Here's the issue. Every time iTunes updates itself, it invalidates every Shortcut for the executable. I get "Problem with Shortcut" Windows Window and which says "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
This happens EVERYTIME iTunes updates itself, which seems very often.
It is really, really annoying. And it ONLY happens with iTunes (no other software - for example Firefox doesn't do this), which says to me that Apple can't be bothered to make sure that the path to their new executable is the same as the old when they do the update. Actually, now that I look at it, it looks like it is somehow deleting the path in the existing shortcuts when it updates, which sounds like a bug.
Any decent usability testing would find this and quickly fix this, but this happens on EVERY windows computer I have EVERY time iTunes updates itself, and it has been there for at least the last 5 upgrades, so I know it is not a 1 off thing only I am seeing.
Please, please, please fix this in your next patch.
Thanks.

Add me to the list of the angry. Safari on Windows does this too.
Apple apps are the only ones I've ever seen on Windows to do this. I don't even understand how/why it happens - does it take the time to find all the shortcuts (which are separate files it would have to search your HD for) and deliberately break their paths?! If Apple are going to make windows applications, it'd be nice if they swallowed their pride and learnt the windows platform and its norms. 99.999% of other software vendors have figured out how to make shortcuts that work...
The worst thing about this is that the error message (admittedly, I think it's a windows message) gives the impression you have to reinstall iTunes! A quick Google search shows that a fair few people think that's the solution.
*If you're getting this problem: there's no need to uninstall or reinstall iTunes!* the problem is with the shortcut only, not the program. To fix it, find a working shortcut to iTunes (as mentioned above, there's normally a fresh one in your start menu somewhere) and drag it wherever you need it, then delete the old one. If you can't find a working one, browse to "program files"->"itunes" on your hard drive, select itunes.exe, go to File->Create Shortcut. A new shortcut will be made in that folder, that you can put wherever you like.
