How do you perform a full system restore for the hp officejet 6500

Basically, after having this printer for 1 year, the wireless printing started to not work correctly. After buying a laptop and trying to configure the printer with it, the printer started to have problems with wireless printing. So how do you perform a FULL factory reset? I already tried hitting #9 while the printer was turning on but it only seemed to partially reset the system. It did not turn it back to the day i bought the printer.

OK, so it turns out it was the 'only show synced content' tick box.
Wow, how embarrassed do I feel now? I never even paid any attention to that tick box all these years.
Interestingly, over the last couple of days I had my ATV at v1.1 again, and happily deleted all my content (except for 1 album which I deliberately left on). A few days went past, and I checked daily - and there was only ever the 1 album.
I then upgraded to ATV v3.0.1 again today and that's when my problems came back - all my content magically reappeared on the Apple TV (or so I thought).
I'm thinking maybe that the 'only show synced content' is a recent 3.0 feature? And if so, maybe that's why I never noticed it before and that's why it was confusing me? Or maybe it's been there all these years (in which case I'll carry on being embarrassed).
Anyway, a huge thanks to everyone who responded.

How can one do a full system restore from Time Machine to a Macbook Air

I recently had a major crash on my two internal disc DualG5. The system internal disk failed completely and I used Time Machine to do a full system restore to the second internal disc. It worked PERFECTLY!! I followed the instructions in support
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/15638.html
This involved inserting the Leopard DVD into the optical drive and backing up from my external LaCie time machine backup.
I also have a MacBook Air. I use an external USB HD drive as Time Machine backup. The Air only has one USB port. I have an external DVD drive for the Air. Clearly, I will not be able to mount the DVD and External disk at the same time unless I use a small hub. I guess this will work but is there any other work around. Could I do a full reinstall and then connect the external HD?

Richard,
Alternatively, you could use Remote Disc Sharing (via the DualG5) to do the install and reserve the USB port for the Time Machine disk.

How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?

I just received an email receipt from Paypal showing a $12.99 purchase from iTunes. I almost NEVER purchase anything over around five dollars in the app or music store. Since PayPal does not show what this purchase was for, I have not received the receipt from Apple yet, and I cannot find anyway to look up online what this purchase was for....I need help to find out ASAP what this purchase was. If my account has been compromised or if I have been incorrectly charged for something, I would like to get the issue handled immediately. I do not want to install iTunes on my PC (nor should I have to for Pete's sake), but I cannot see anything recent at all in my app or music history on my iPad (not that I would ever purchase anything for $12.99 anyway...I just don't). Thanks in advance for any tips!

How do you structure a full flash website without the timeline?

Hello there. I was wondering how to build and structure a full flash website using the OOP approach. I have an idea of how to structure an application using the MVC design pattern, but I cannot put things together in order to structure a whole website.

I'm nowhere near an expert on this topic, and I suspect that the overall purpose of your site would help guide the best approach to designing and developing it without the timeline. I've done a lot of this with Flash for a limited purpose - creating a client clip that has only one frame, but responds to user events with dynamic behavior. My suggestion would be to take a look at some of the books that cover this topic to get a better idea of exactly how you'd like to deal with this project.
Two books are in my library that cover this topic - ActionScript 3.0 Design Patterns by Sanders & Cumaranatunge, published by O'Reilly & Associates, check it out at http://www.amazon.com/ActionScript-3-0-Design-Patterns-Programming/dp/0596528469/ref=sr_1_ 1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254149170&sr=8-1 as well as Advanced ActionScript 3 with Design Patterns by Lott and Patterson which can be found at http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-ActionScript-3-Design-Patterns/dp/0321426568/ref=sr_1_3?ie= UTF8&s=books&qid=1254149170&sr=8-3
Both books have a chapter on implementing an MVC design pattern with ActionScript and provide some basic examples you can build on. Sorry to be so meager in responding, I hope this might help a bit. Good luck!

How do you set up a custom color for the standard screen mode

This new colour scheme has not enough contrast for it to be readable, so I was pleased to find custom screen mode. However, there seems to be no way of setting up a custom color for this. In addition, the icons are so small they are unreadable. Is there any way of making them bigger. I have a 20" and a 22" monitor working together, but they are still not clear enough to use.

Hi there
Are you referring to the tool icons in Photoshop CS6? There are a few options you can change to help make the interface more readable, but unfortunately, there is not an option to enlarge the tool icons.
It sounds like you may have discovered this already, but if you go to Photoshop > Preferences > Interface, you can change the color of the Photoshop CS6 interface.
You can also enlarge the UI text size in this same window, in the Text preferences box.
You can also make the size of your layers thumbnails larger. You can do this by clicking on the small menu in the upper right hand corner of the Layers Panel and selecting Panel Options.
Here you can change the size of the layers thumbnails.
I hope this helps you out a bit!

How do you get a wndows System disc for nb205-311/W? Need to re-load Windows but don't have disc...

My nb205-311/W crashed and I need to re-load Windows, but don't have a disc. Does anyone know if the laptop comes with one? Don't remember there being one in the box.
Does anyone know where I can get one? I cannot find any way to actually contact Toshiba to request one.
Thanks for any and all help and advice!!!

They don't come with a physical disk these days, and haven't for several years. They come with a app to create them from a hidden partition on the hard drive, but that also requires an external USB DVD Burner. Otherwise you can go to this post to find out how to order replacement media.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

How do you add a custom avatar pic for the Apple Support account?

I've noticed some people have their own pics for their avatar, not offered in the pics section when you customize your profile settings. I looked for an option to upload a custom profile pic, but couldn't find it; I only managed to find the option for uploading a profile photo, not a custom avatar pic. Thanks in advance.

The ability to add a custom avatar becomes available once you reach Level 3 (=500 points).

A full system restore...

I am just wondering if anyone can give me a clear instruction on how to perform a FULL system restore? Like...restore all factory contents...so that my T500 looks exactly like the first time I opened it 2 weeks ago??? Thanx for any advice...

First get an external usb HDD and save your data. If running XP save Documents too the external if running Vista save Users.
YOu do this by biooting into the hidden partition by pressing the Blue Button at the Lenovo Splash screen or tapping f-11 at boot. At the bottom ogf the page you will see Advanced options. Fist click rescue files, choose which files to rescue from a list of my hdd. Reminder the usb hdd must be plugged in before booting the laptop. Choose the appropriate folder. once that is complete, click on restore my system chose to restore to factory state, do not choose to save files, follow prompts.
Once system is back up in about 45-60 min, Run Thinkvantage System update. When that is complete, you can restore your dAta saved earlier by just opening two browser windows and drag the folder you saved earlier and dropping it ontop of the same folder on your C drive,

Photosmart Premium C309a series: full system restore fails to result in HP Scan functioning

I had to recently have my iMac hard drive replaced. Upon performing a full system restore from a Time Machine back-up, I have found that HP Scan fails to operate at all, despite the printer itself performing its other tasks normally. This means that ABBYY Fine Reader also fails to operate with HP Scan as its 'calling application'.
I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and have run Apple Software Update and downloaded all outstanding HP software. Prior to my hard drive failure HP Scan worked fine. The full restore has installed the version I was running then as now, 2.4.1.
In order to obtain the Scan software obviously I originally downloaded the full software package from HP in order to configure its functions -however the current printer driver version is 4.1.2.
From the Error window that appears when I try to launch HP Scan, it appears that the problem may relate to HP Scan profiles not being loaded in the Library folder. However when I look there I am not able to determine if anything is missing. I suspect that they are there, but not being recognised.
As I already have all the software to operate the printer functions, why should I repeat the download to get HP Scan and the scanning function to operate again?
This question was solved.

Hi @MJM_archiver,
I see by your post that you had to replace the hardrive and after doing a full system restore from the Time Machine back-up, you are unable to scan. I can help you with this.
Try scanning through the Apple Software, to see if you have the same result.
How to Scan: Mac OS X v10.6.
The files might not have copied over properly from the back up.
I would verify and repair the disk permissions, reset the printing system on the Mac, then run the full uninstall and reinstall of the software.
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer.
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Uninstalling the Printer Software.
HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers - Mac OS X v10.4, v10.5, and v10.6.
Test the printer.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!

Network Error in Client Full System Restore

Hi,
I've been attempting, as a test, to restore a full system backup to a client computer using a boot flash drive. When I attempt to do so, I get a "Unknown Network Error" at the point where the client has attempted to contact the server, been unable
to and offered the opportunity to enter a name or an IP address. When I enter either one, I immediately get an "Unknown Network Error". There's no error number or other specific identifying informations.
Details:
The client computer is a UEFI motherboard PC running Windows 7 Professional. It connects with no difficulty whatsoever on a normal basis to the Windows 2012 R2 Essentials server. It gets backed up every night by the server over the network with no problem.
When I boot from the Network Client Computer Restore USB key, everything works fine except that it is unable to find network drivers. When given the chance to load missing drivers, I use the "Drivers for Full System Restore (from the full system backup)"
on another USB key and they are found just fine.
Then when we get to the point of searching for the server, it appears to look for 30 seconds or so, then a dialog comes up asking whether to search again or if I want to enter a IP or name. Searching again doesn't yield results, and when either an IP or
the server name is entered, I get the "Unknown Network Error".
I feel certain there must be some logging that is either available or could be turned on if I knew how. I feel concerned that I would not be able to restore my client computer if something were to happen. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Justin,
Thanks for your response. I'm sorry that I didn't see it sooner - I guess I assumed I'd get an email if there was a response...
Anyway, at the time when the error occurs, the OS is not running. We have just booted via PXE over the network and started the "Full System Restore" Wizard, so it is not possible to "ping" the server. However, the fact that we successfully
booted via PXEs tells me that basic connectivity exists to the server, because otherwise the PXE boot wouldn't work.
Thanks for the pointer to the logs - I'll check them.
What I have done since I last updated was to do a few experiments. I added a Windows 7 boot image and install image with the Windows Distribution Service, so that on PXE boot I'm given 2 options - a Full System Restore and a Software Install.
I also roped another PC into service, one that is running from BIOS rather than UEFI. On that PC, both the System Restore and Software Install via PXE boot work fine. This tells me the server is at least nominally working, and that the problem is related
somehow to the specifics of the PC being connected. Could be server setup still, could be something on the PC.
On the computer with the UEFI, neither Full System Restore nor Software Install works. However, there is at least a clue in the error response from the Windows Setup - I get a lengthy error message that essentially says that \Windows\Boot\EFI\bootmgr.EFI
is corrupted. I'm not clear whether at this point we are referring to a file extant on the PC or one that is being downloaded that's being claimed to be corrupted.
This took me down a path in which, to eliminate variables, I changed the boot drive on the UEFI system from MBR to GPT. No joy. Also broke up my mirrored drive and changed the SATA from RAID back to AHCI. Also no joy. But everything I am reading is leading
me to believe that the problem has to do with the fact that my target PC has a UEFI BIOS. I continue to investigate - and will look through the logs you mention.

Update 8/24/2014
Made some progress yesterday. I'm now able to use Windows Deployment Service to deploy Windows 7 over the network to the UEFI computer. I had to do two things to get that to work.
Turn off driver signing in the UEFI bios. That got me past the error screen complaining about a corrupted driver (which I'm pretty sure I don't have). But then it got hung up saying it couldn't find a driver for the network.
To fix that, I added the driver package to the boot image using the tools in the Windows Deployment Service applet.
After that, it found the server just fine, allowed me to authenticate, and would have proceeded to install Windows 7 if I hadn't aborted.
I then added the exact same driver package to the Full System Restore boot image, but it made absolutely no difference. Exactly the same symptoms as reported previously.
So, where am I and what do I know?
I can do both a Remote Windows 7 install and Client Full System Restore using Windows Deployment Services on an X64, BIOS based computer.
I can do a Remote Windows 7 install to my X64 UEFI based computer.
When I attempt a Client Full Restore to the X64 UEFI computer, I get all the way to the Full System Restore Wizard, which tells me that it can't find network drivers (even when they've been installed to the boot image). It finds network drivers when provided
via a USB key, but then when the Wizard looks for the server, it's unable to find it. When a manual option is presented, and I enter the server's IP address, I get an "Unknown Network Error" popup message, and I can't proceed further.
On the UEFI computer, I've tried all combinations of Compatibility Support Module (CSM) settings, but they make absolutely no difference to the Full System Restore process.
I've also tried converting the boot disk from MBR to GPT, didn't make any difference.
I "unmirrored" my mirrored RAID drives and changed the SATA bios from RAID to AHCI. Made no difference.
So, at this point I'm kind of stuck. I'm out of ideas for things to try for now. I did look at the logs as suggested, but didn't see much of anything relative to WDS. Possibly logging has to get turned on?
As always, any help or ideas would be much appreciated.

Time Machine: Full System Restore On New iMac...

I currently use Time Machine on my 24" iMac with a 500GB external hardrive. If something were to happen to my current iMac (i.e. My kid knocks it off the desk and it breaks), and I was forced to buy a new one, would I be able to use Time Machine to restore the new iMac to the last Back-Up of the old iMac? If so, would it automati ally transfer all of my pictures, movies, music, etc. to the new iMac as well? Thanks for any help y'all can give me on this subject.

not using full system restore utility on the leopard install DVD. your current system lacks hardware drivers that would be needed for a newer computer and if you do a full system restore of your current computer onto a newer computer using the restore utility on the leopard DVD it will most likely not even boot.
however, during the original computer setup you'll be given an option to transfer user data, settings and applications from a TM backup of your old computer. that option does not transfer system files but it does transfer everything else including your pictures, movies, music etc.
You can also do the same thing later using Migration Assistant (it's in /Applications/Utilities).
