Error 0x00000709 operation could not be compleated Double check the printer name etc.

After installing my new printer and removing all other printers from my computer I now can not make the only printer listed as my default printer. I get this error 0X00000709 operation could not be completed Double check the printer name and make sure it is connected. I have done all that over and over again. I also I have reinstalled the old printer software and tried to default to my new printer at that time and still the same error. I have checked my register and it has the old printer listed but does not allow me to change it. I now have removed all but the new printer from my computer but I still can not make it my default printer. Programs such as Adobe only recognizes the default printer (which is not there any more) and don't even list the new printer as an option. The printer works just fine accept with the programs that uses the default printer. The Windows Hardware and Device Troubleshooting finds the problem (printer not set as default)but can not fix it.
I sure wish someone out there could help me get rid of the error and allow me to default my printer again. I have noticed other people have had this same issue with error 0X00000709 using other Windows versions as well. I have been trying to resolve this issue for the past three months and would appreciate any and all ideas.
I have an HP Pavilion elite HPE 337C computer running with Window 7 and I installed my new HP LaserJet PRO CM1415fnw color MFP printer. My old printer that I removed (but is still listed in my Regester) was an HP 6500 inkJet.

After doing some research on the net:
This link provided an answer:

Regedit -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software->Microsoft->Windows NT->Current Version->Windows
One of the entries you should see in the right hand pane is“Device”. If the value for “Device” as noted under the “Data” area is anything other than the printer you are using, then highlight “Device” in the right hand pane with the mouse and press the delete key to remove it. (I edited it and put the name of the printer I wanted to be the default)
VI. Restart the computer so it starts with the altered Windows system registry. (Italics mine)

Bridge sc6 MAC- ERROR! operation could not be completed-lock up

When I attempt to use Bridge 6 from PS6, I get the ERROR! Operation Could not BE completed, and bridge starts Building Critera and hangs. Can only quit usung a forced quit. I un-installed and re-installed PS, did not help. ANy ideas,
Thank you

Hi Curt:
I really appreciate your quick reply. I did the reset from my Bridge Icon in the application folder and checked al the boxes in the window, when I clicked OK, Bridge opened and then I got the ERROR-Operation Could Not Be Completed. Bridge displays "Building Criteria" this does not stop and Bridge becomes totally unresponsive and does not allow me to Quit. The only way I can quit is "forced Apple Quit". I have the latest updates which I double checked this morning after uninstalling and re-installing PS6.
I'm still stumped.

HT4414 When I try to purchase Mountain Lion i get an error message: "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." I can purchase other apps, why not Mountain Lion?

I can purchase other apps, why not Mountain Lion. I get the same message on my wife's IMAC.

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.
Hope it helps.

If you are using someone else's WiFi they may have restrictions in place.
(cofee shop, etc..)
Have you tried connecting using at least more than one particular WiFi network ?
You might want to try googling for a bandwidth test site

The operation could not be completed - When attempting to print

I have recently downloaded cutePDF writer in order to print my vbcode into pdfs because my instructor was complaining about how my code looked after copy and pasting it into a word document and then saving as a pdf. after attempting to print several times
i attempted to print to a real printer and that wouldnt work either. i get an error message "The operation could not be completed" and nothing happens. Thanks in advance :).

Hi AaronBootss,
I am afraid that your issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
If you got this issue when you print a pdf document to a real printer, maybe you can contact someone who is familiar with your printer and print operation for help.

I have a Canon MX882 printer and more often than note get an error message that says "Printer not Connected." When I check the printer itself, I get confirmation that the access point is connected. I tried reloading the software and that seemed to have solved the problem for awhile but I'm experiencing the same problem. Any ideas what is causing this?

Did you delete all receipts with iDVD in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder before installing the new copy? If not then do so and delete the new application also.

Photoshop CS3 error saving files - Could not save ... because the fileis already in use or was left

I have a problem with Adobe Photoshop CS3 that only started happening last night. Heres a description of the problem.
When I try and save a Photoshop file, I get the following error message:-
Could not save (filename). because the file is already in use or was left open
I have rebooted my computer, rebooted our server, un-installed & reinstalled Photoshop and also done a system restore, and I still have the problem. (The system restore actually caused huge problems I got the error message The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall or call customer support, except I wasnt able to reinstall or uninstall the product. The computer just would not run the installer. I had to undo the system restore.)
I can do Save For Web with no trouble and I can save files to the same location with every other Adobe product installed in the Web bundle, just not Photoshop.
We have 2 machines here with an identical set up (hardware and software) and the problem is only on one machine.
Even though Photoshop says it cant save the file, its actually saving the file in the following format:-
~psX.tmp where X is a random variable, either characters or numbers.
I have to manually open My Documents and rename the file to filename.psd so I can access it again.
Short of reformatting my computer (which Im not keen on doing because it will mean several wasted work hours and I will have to pay our IT people to come in and hook me back up to our network), how can this problem be fixed?
I have also Googled the problem and the only help I found was a suggestion to search for a psicon.dll file and rename it. This file does not appear anywhere on my system, so I'm at a loss.
I have contacted support about this issue, but thought it was also worth while to ask here at the same time.

I'm having similar problems with not being able to save files after editing them (and giving them a new file-name, obviously) in Photoshop Elements 4.0. I get an error message saying (for instance): "Could not save as (whatever I'm trying to name the file) because the file is already in use or was left open". Then I see a .tmp file (that I can't open)
I did a search and found that the file was being saved twice, once within Photoshop (where I'm working with it) and also in..
"C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Pictures\Temporary"
I'm assuming this is the problem, but if you have any clue as to why is this happening and what I can do about it, I'd welcome any input. I've been using PSE-4.0 for years, and this problem just started cropping up. The only (cumbersome) way around this problem has been to just make my edits (in PSE-4.0) and do a "save" under the original file name, then go into explorer and rename the file. So, in short, I cannot do what I've been doing for years, editing a picture and saving it (renamed) in the sane folder (or a different one).
I can "see" the .tmp files in PSE-4.0, but they won't open.. but they will in JASC.. odd..
Thanks-
Bob

Capture error-"this operation could not be completed as there is no video"

Help!!
Project Due to client very soon. I've got my XL2 hooked up to my mac and capture was fine until the above(subject) error message popped up. All connections are tight, and I've tried changing, switching and trashing preferences. I spent a 100 bucks for 15 minutes of support from some FCP support company, there solution was temporary. They had me Turn off the G5, and disconnect everything. Upon restart capture worked for about 10 more minutes then error message popped up. Don't know what else to do, don't want to spend a 100 more dollars?
Help!!!!

Canon cameras are notorious for not behaving if you have any other FW Devices working on the System - this includes External Hard Drives.
Try removing any other FW devices - then re-setting the FW Bus as Jerry suggested. THEN connect up your camera and turn it on (VTR mode) - THEN start your Mac.
Don't pay anyone for support - it's all here - for free!
Good luck,

Photoshop CC 2014 (same happens in illustrator). Filter gallery (not greyed out, file is regular 8bit rgb) will not work. Error message "the operation could not be completed". Tried throwing out preferences etc.

Anyone know why this happened after last photoshop update?

Type Terminal in Spotlight (The magnifying glass or to the right of your name on the Mac menu bar) and double click it to start it up.
Copy and paste the command at the prompt ($) and it should look like this. Press Enter, type your password, then Enter again.
What I'm think is that if the permissions of the App Support folder were altered, that might explain why things are refusing to work properly
It's an idea, it won't hurt anything, and if we are lucky it will fix the problem.

Error messages "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup may be corrupted..." "1 item could not be synced. See iTunes for more information. Not syncing music.

I'm a recent iPhone 4 user and I just upgraded through AT&T to the 16gb iPhone 5s. The employee at the AT&T store who hooked my family up with phones, told me I could start out with a new phone or back it up to my iPhone 4. So I get home and it takes awhile to back up both phones, so after half an hour, I noticed that my Nirvana albums "In Utero" and "Nirvana" were not syncing. In Utero has twelve tracks, and it would not sync the twelfth track "All Apologies", it would ultimately stop at that track. It would also not sync AT ALL the late Nirvana album. Now, I've tried backing them both up again and I tried updating both phones. But it was only Nirvana not being synced. Now my whole library is corrupt. I have four artists on my phone, six albums, and 78 songs total. That isn't really much...
I really need help, this is frustrating me because I literally live off of music. I love my new iPhone, I really do, but I've tried literally everything under the sun to sync my music. That's the only problem.
Thanks to anyone who helps.

Same problem here too... it's driving me nuts. I share an imac with my boyfriend and we both have iphones and never had a problem syncing or backing up. Then, suddenly, we get the message stated above... but only when backing up HIS phone, a 3GS (mine is a 3G). We have tried everything:
Deleting the backups and trying to create new
Changing permissions on all of the backup folders once, twice, 3 times over...
Changing the name of the backup folder so that iTunes creates a new backup folder
Creating a new user account for him in the mac os with his own iTunes backup folder and his own permissions.
NONE of these things worked. The closest we got was in the last attempt of creating a new user account, where it actually CREATED the backup (there is a backup file in the proper folder that is about 4gb in size) but we still get the error message at the end, and the backup is not found in iTunes under device preferences.
This is extremely frustrating to say the least and I hope somewhere out there has a solution.

CS6 3D error (bug?) "Could not complete your request because the path is too complex."

I'm running into a bit of a problem with having a shape extruded in 3D.
If I draw a rectangle shape set to path over an image and then choose "source - work path" and "3D extrusion" I will get a 3D rectangle with the image on the front side.
If I draw a 3 sided polygon (triangle) set to path over an image and then choose "source - work path" and "3D extrusion" I will get a error telling me that the path is too complex.
I'm doing the exact same thing.
Now, if I have 4 sides plus, on the polygon it will extrude just fine.
Something seems to be happening with 3 sided polygons.
This holds true with the pen tool as well. Three points will give you the error, 4 and above seem not to.
Any ideas and to why this is happening?
Thanks!

Work around. (CS6)
(1) Draw your trangle shape.
(2) Convert one of the corners to a smooth corner (just barely). If you doesn't work, bend flex it a little more, and try again.
(3) 3D/New 3D extrusion from selected layer.
(4) Switch camera to top view.
(5) With 3D layer selected, in the coordinates menu of Properties panel, set X angle to 90.
(6) Snap object to ground plane.
(7) Set depth to 0.
(8) In the Cap menu of the Properties panel, adjust cap width to 100%.
