How do I actually get my Officejet 7500A WF printer to print... There's no program....

OK HP, I'm so over this one. I'm on my 3rd brand new one because of different problems, first was a broken screen, 2nd the printer wouldn't talk to the computer, (I can't remember the excuse w/o looking it up) now every time I scan more than 4 things it stops talking to the computer and I have to restart everything and start again. UGGG!! But my real question is:: with a normal printer when you want to print several things out in different sizes you open your printer program and have at it. There is no program for it!! I can open the program up and scan, check to see if there is something printingk and it offers a spot to go online and get an app for "eprint"... but wheres the regular printing program?? The only way I've been able to use it is to put memory cards in the slots...... I tried one of the eprint programs to print some pics from my daughters Facebook page and that didn't even work! I'm so wishing on the 2nd return I would have gotten a different printer. ~~Sheri

Very frustrating. I will try to help you here.
Need a little more information, is it connected wirelessly? What operating system (Windows XP//Vista/7 32 or 64 bit) are you using? Did you install this from the disc that came with the printer? Any other computers on your network? Are you scanning from Windows or a separate program?
Let me know when you get a chance. Thanks.

On your iPad, just go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, etc.>Add account>iCloud and put in the details of the account you set up. Shouldn't be a problem at all.

I have disabled text messages updates from Verizon, yet I keep getting them. How do I actually get them to stop?

I have disabled text messages updates from Verizon, yet I keep getting them. How do I actually get them to stop?

I receive messages every time I make an update in my account and whenever I pay a bill. I have all of those message updates checked off within my account. I have also gone through turned them on, then back off again, and I still keep getting the messages.

How can I actually get a WiFi problem FIXED on my Mini?

OK, 32 years after buying my first Apple product (Apple ][+) I actually need hardware support for one of my products - an iPad Mini.
The result?
Worst. Support. Ever.
It has been THREE weeks since the issue, and tomorrow will be 3 weeks since my first call. The basic problem? When left for work my Mini would connect to my home network just fine, but when I got home it wouldn't. And hasn't since. On my network I also have 3 iPads (1, 2, 3), Macbook Pro, couple of iPod Touchs, Kindle Fires, Nexus 7, PC laptops, Android phones and so on.
- First, they pushed me off to Airport support and that involved loads of reconfiguration and restting. He left me with 'homework' of totally reconfiguring the network (2009 Airport Extreme and 2x Airport Express extenders).
- I finished all of that and it STILL wouldn't work, so I was on the phone, and they eventually decided to send a box to get a repair.
- I get the box a couple of days later - but it doesn't come with return info so I have to get the PDF to print and attach (which means another day before it goes out).
- They get the Mini at Apple, cannot reproduce the issue and turn it around ... but the email notice is late so I miss the delivery truck, and it ends up at ~6PM the next day before I see the Mini. Not surprisingly it doesn't work. Worse yet, I got my new iPhone 5 and it works immediately and perfectly on our network.
- I get on the phone again and although I ask for a PDF label so I can return the Mini, the person ends up sending out another box.
- The next day I take the Mini into work and it works great on WiFi (it had been spotty before, but they reconfigured it over the weekend), so I grab a WiFi analyzer for my Samsung Galaxy S3 and see it is broadcasting on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
- I wonder if that is the issue ... so at home I switch the bnetwork to 5GHz and the Mini functions immediately and perfectly. Of course I lose connectivity for about half of the other things. So I switch back to 2.4GHz, and unsurprisingly the Mini doesn't work but everything else does. I have found the problem (no thanks to Apple).
- So I call Apple that evening, and talk to a support rep, who listens for a bit but basically says that it is very likely that regardless of what he puts in the case notes that the support person would take the Mini out switch it on and if it worked they would put it in the box and return it.
- He put me through to someone else who he said would make sure that the situation was properly handled.
- Still concerned, when the box arrived (Christmas Eve), I put in a note detailing the issue and with big letters 'PLEASE DO NOT RETURN THIS IPAD MINI WITHOUT REPAIRING, IT DOES NOT WORK ON 2.4GHZ WIFI'. I wrapped that around the Mini with the writing on the outside.
- On the 26th I get a notice that it had been received by service.
- This morning I get a call from FedEx at 8AM to be expecting the shipment. Then a while later I get the email from Apple.
- Of course, as I checked the email I see that they did exactly the same thing ... returned without doing ANYTHING.
- So ... surprise, surprise ... it STILL doesn't work on 2.4GHz WiFi (but will work on 5GHz).
- So again I call. This time the person sends me to a 'supervisor', who assures me that they will do a swap and gives me a specific case # to take to the UPS Store where they will be able to get it shipped out to the correct warehouse and it will be resolved. He gives me the case #, and his name and contact #.
We got over a foot of snow, so it took a bit to get out, but I had to drive my son to a house to do shoveling as part of the local Youth Bureau, and then headed into town to the UPS Store.
You probably know what is coming - when I get there they cannot pull up any info on the repair ID, nor by my phone number. And when I check the email on my iPhone there is nothing new from Apple Support, meaning that Jason didn't actually DO ANYTHING! I called from the UPS Store but naturally got voice mail.
So here I sit three weeks later, having done 100% of the work myself with only pure incompetence on the part of Apple, and with a still-broken iPad Mini in my hands that has seen both coasts a lot recently.
Worse yet, it isn't like the iPad Mini WiFi is a RARE issue, it is EVERYWHERE, whether the initial disconnects, the stuff resolved by 6.0.2 or the failures like I am seeing.
Worse still, a friend of mine had a similar issue but was just dealing with it, and when I brought up the whole 2.4 vs 5GHz issue, he took it to the Apple store, told them, and walked out with a new one within 10 minutes.
Unfortunately I am 2 hours in either direction from an Apple store so that isn't an option based on my schedule and my family schedule.
So instead I get treated like a second-class citizen, and have direct requests and troubleshooting ignored by an incompetent staff that doesn't even do the most basic troubleshooting.
Any suggestions of how to get ACTUAL support from Apple outside of a store?

Just to close out ... the 'supervisor' was clueless as it turns out. Apple does NOT have a deal with UPS on handling the Mini, so the person who gave me the info was wrong. Did he call back? No ... he just let me go out and find out myself.
So I called again, and this time eventually ended up with a manager, who told me that the UPS Store thing wouldn't work, but that a box would arrive and then there would be a 'forced replacement'.
About 10 minutes later he called back and said he discovered that EVERYTHING the supervisor did was wrong ... he didn't actually properly flag for auto-replace, so I would have gone through an identical cycle again! So he had to restart the whole process, meaning I would get TWO 'coffins', but that I would then get an auto-replacement and would see that indicated in my support email.
I got the email, saw 'auto-replace'. Got the box on the 28th and immediately turned it around. Apple got the box on the 31st, and on the 1st I got emails that my Mini would arrive on the 2nd and it also had the new serial #.
Yesterday I grab the box from FedEx and go home to check it out. As expected, it IMMEDIATELY worked on my WiFi without issue ... and has worked perfectly since.
So ...
- it was NOT my home network.
- it WAS a hardware issue with the Mini
- Apple does NOT do proper testing on the Mini to detect what appears to be a fairly common issue.
- non-retail customers ARE treated as second-class by support.
This issue took FOUR WEEKS to resolve, involved FOUR shipments back & forth, and the ONLY reason it got resolved was that *I* did the troubleshooting that Apple either would not or could not do.
For someone who has been an Apple customer for more than 30 years, this has been a sobering experience ... I quite frankly expected much better from them.

SAD Service: How do you actually get to speak to a support rep on the phone???

I'm trying to reach a support rep and the pathetic service keeps disconnecting but at least it's nice enough to "thank me for calling Verizon...Goodbye". I have questions about my plan and I'm told it's now owned by Frontier...and god forbid someone from Verizon who I've been a customer of for a long time but I guess it turns out I'm not any longer. Congratulations Verizon, even though I guess I'm no longer you customer you've lost my business anytime in the future.

You know I am feeling the same way about Verizon.
We have been loyal customers with Verizon for nearly 12 years and have averaged a monthly spend of approximately $500 per month for that entire period. Recently I found out that someone in there Credit Department had turned our account over to a Collection Agency who has been hounding us 24/7. Our account has been linked to the same AMEX account which elctronically billed every month so its impossible to become delinquent. Well come to find out after getting through to the Credit Department our account was indeed turned over for phone numbers not linked to our account and not even in the same area code. What's worse is the Credit Manager advised me that once they turn the account over to a Collection Agent they can no longer help us. Despite the fact that it is their error. So I ask them "so what do I do to resolve your error"
DEAD SILENCE! and then I am sorry Sir but we can no longer help you! Really!
Verizon Wireless will now lose our business account, personal cells and our land line business.
Its hilarious that they send out e-mails asking for how they are doing and if they can provide us with any service. I was dumb enough to respond twice believing that someone would forward this same response to someone that may be able to get involved.........................NOT
We need small regional suppliers and small business owners that can actually service the customer and not become so large that they dont have the ability to service there customers.!

Where's my authorization code and how do I actually get in touch with Adobe?

Right, so I purchased a pre-payment card from PCWorld for the student & teacher version of Lightroom 5. Tried to download Lightroom 5 only to find that it wouldn't work with Mac OS 10.6. So, I have upgraded my OS, but now I can't find anywhere on my account that I've redeemed the card and have had no communications from Adobe regarding my proof of being a student. Trying to contact Adobe is useless, as all I get is going round in circles. It seems impossible to actually contact anyone at Adobe!!

Kharga if you still need to redeem your redemption code then please see Serial number, Redemption, and Product codes | Student & Teacher Editions.
If your code has already been utilized then it is likely the serial number is available under your account at http://www.adobe.com/. You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

How do I actually get this server functioning?

Brief history:
- Snow Leopard Server working fine. MacPro, Mirrored Boot Drive (RAID 1).
- Initial install failed and left the server in a reboot/install failure cycle with no recovery possible (Lion Server has no official recovery disk - apart from some tricks that have been documented in some places apart from Apple Support - where I keep finding some help and then finding 404 errors a day later as the help is pulled - about pulling apart the Lion install package to try and create a boot disk).
- FYI the boot/recovery disk approach that was mentioned above did not work on my machine at all.
- After splitting my RAID mirror and converting all drives to regular drives and restoring my Snow Leopard Server install using the SL Server disk and Time Machine to something functioning I was able to install the Lion Server.
- The I rebuilt my RAID 1 mirror of the boot disk and things are now functioning.
Notes:
- The Server application doesn't seem to trust the old server's certificates and almost every service is blinking green/off as launchctl tries to launch services and then they fail.
- My purchased SSL certificate was not present in the server anywhere seeming to have disappeared into a black hole so NO web services were functioning. This included Wiki, Push, Web, etc etc. I had to re-issue the SSL cert using the new server and add it. Things seem to now recognize my SSL certificate now.
Questions:
- Services are all trying to start and failing. I am getting many many log entries about this. I am able to log in using my domain account so it seems that OD upgraded OK (maybe). But everything else is a mess. Any suggestions on where to start cleaning up the mess? (This is partially related to my next question).
- Where did DNS, Firewall, Software Update Server, OD configuration go to? I run my own DNS server for my domain, have reasonably customized firewall rules to suit my server and services. The server app has no mention of these items. Am I left with command line tools for these again? This would be several steps backward from the prior server.

Thanks - really appreciate it.
I can go and get out my bind and server admin command line books as necessary too. But I will take a look through this and see if I can restore some normalcy
I _always_ get suckered by Apple's server OS into buying and installing it when it comes out - expecting that my configuration will migrate and work seamlessly 'it just works'. But I am now starting to take the view that this is just too painful an experience.
There really is no easy upgrade for Apple's Server. (I have run various Linux servers in the past and had seamless upgrade experiences with those - Red Hat, SUSE, Ubuntu to name three have just worked out of the box on day 1 in recent years).
But the server just seems the same quality between Tiger - Leopard - Snow Leopard. The pain and lost weekends trying to make this work are hugely frustrating.
Here I go again - probably for the last time.

How does the software updates actually get installed?

Hello,
Yesterday I followed the steps to perform "To manually deploy the software updates in a software update group" or
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712304.aspx. or pages 12-15. In a nutshell, I created a Critical Update item with a collection of 3 servers. When I look
at the Software Update Group area that lists the members that I created, I do see under the tabs that Deployed=Yes and Download=Yes for the items that I created. However, this was not installed on any of the servers. How does
this actually get installed on the collection servers? Did I miss a step? Do the client settings play a role here? Please advise.
Thanks for all the help!
Reez

Kind of. Yes a software update scan cycle must run (a deployment eval doesn't), but it doesn't wait until the 7 day interval. Simply creating a new deployment in the console will trigger a software update scan cycle on targeted clients:
http://blog.configmgrftw.com/notes-software-update-scan-cycle/
For your deployment, did you create a "Required" deployment?
Have you reviewed software center on the targeted clients?
Have you check wuahandler.log on the clients.

Okay, how do I actually initiate a sync?

I think I have everything good to go - I can log into my iCloud account and all ----
so how do I actually get everything going? how do I get the desktop mac to sync (especially CONTACTS) with iCloud, and then get iCloud to sync with and transfer that into to the iPad (now running IOS 5) ?
w

hmm...
Okay, when I go to iCloud on system preferences, all that I see is a screen advising me to move my mobile me account to iCloud.
I don't see any preferences that can be set for iCloud. It's like the system doesn't realize my iCloud is set up ... even though when I go into iCloud, I do indeed have an account there (and, as you say, a blank address book...)
thanks!

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus "unspecified printer problem"

I just set up my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One. The set-up seemed to go okay, but when I go to the "devices" tab for "HP Connected" it has a yellow yield sign and says that I have a problem with my printer. When I click on the yield sign symbol, the box says that "An unspecified problem was reported. Please check your printer." When I check the printer pannel, there are no problems reported. The machine seems to print okay, but I'd like to clear up this error that is shown. Any ideas?
Also, I've already done the restart and sign-off/sign-in stuff, so we can move on to second-order trouble shooting. Thanks.
This question was solved.

HELP!
I am having exactly the same problem. I am simply swapping out an existing Deskjet 3512 that worked perfectly at all levels, so i KNOW i dont have router/port/network issues. eprint was and is flawless. I just plugged it back in to check and it still works just fine with eprint.
Using my new Pro8600, I send emails to my eprint address and they seem to go...and then nothing. they just don't print.
I get the"Officejet Pro 8600 Plus "unspecified printer problem"" message but my front panel reports no issues.
I'm a step away from taking this back and buying an Epson.
My experience with their support has bee stellar at a commercial printer level.
This seems to be a very common problem and I just dont have hours to monkey around with something that should work out of the box.
any help will be appreciated.

How do I get my Macbook Pro to print with HP Officejet 7500a Wide Format printer

My Macbook Pro (Retina Display) seems to have a problem to print with the HP Officejet 7500a - Wide Format printer - Is it the OS X 10.10.2 causing the problem. It works when connected to the USB cable - but wireless print is a problem.

let's see-on printer control panel, you've pressed the right arrow, then "network" then "wireless" then "wireless setup wizard" then OK,
and the wireless capability has been turned on, yes? (I didn't know you could turn it off) -either press the wireless button, or press setup on the printer's control panel, then wireless menu, then touch "On". A blue light should be lit up.
Failing that, restart the wireless components-turn off router, then printer, then turn on router and then turn on printer. dunno what else to suggest
apparently, you can do a wireless test from the printer-right arrow, then network, then wireless, then wireless network test.. .
also see if there are any updates for your printer-there has been a firmware update for this printer from 2012-try that, there is also a software update for 10.10 apparently it adds direct wireless printing...
