How To Delete A Job That Just Won't Delete?

Sometimes when I go to print something it seems to "get stuck" and it says "pending" 2/1 and I can't cancel or delete it and until I can, I can't do anything else. I've had this issue with HPs in the past. How do I fix it and prevent it from happening again?

I agree with Richard. It is RIDICULOUS to call this a solution. Duct tape on a leaking boat works better and lasts longer. First I send a 2 page print job to my HP Officejet Pro L7680 for immediate printing.That fails. After nothing comes out of the printer I investigate and see that it is "Printing" so I wait a little longer. It becomes obvious that it isn't coming out so I try restarting the job. Next I delete the print job. That fails. Next I run I run the troubleshooter. It finds that a print job is caught in the print queue and applies its fix. That didn't fix anything, so then I try to cancel all jobs in the queue with the same outcome, another failure. Then I try the "HP Solutions" recommendations: 1st duct tape >reboot your printer - spatially inconvienient, inconsiderate of other users, only works maybe 10-20% of the time. Ususally has to be repeated for each print job. How is this a solution? Mostly fails. 2nd duct tape >Reboot your computer -inconvienient to me and a time waster, applies after frustrated trial and failure listed above. Furthermore, that works only for a period of time and then the problem resurfaces, usually when I can't afford the delay. So it is only treating a temporary fix. It's similar to a doctor who only gives you pills to lessen your symptoms. The recommendation that I reboot my computer is not a solution. This has been going on for so long that I find it difficult to recommend HP printers anymore. What happened to the idea of reliability? When I send a job to the printer, it should print 99%-99.9% of the time.

I disconnected my iPad unconsciously while it was updating ios 7.0.4 and it just stuck on that screen showing apple logo and a loading bar that just won't move on what to do now ????

It's not uncommon for it to not work the first time and sometimes, you have to try it a few times. Turn off your antivirus software and your firewall while you are trying to restore the iPad. Enable them again after you restore.
If that still won't work, post back with detailed information as to what exactly does happen as you go through the process.

I am not able to delete all the bookmarks that I select to delete by clicking on the star. Most that won't delete seem to be in the unsorted bookmark category. I have tried many times and they just won't delete. What can I do.?

When I follow the directions about deleting bookmarks by clicking on the bookmark, then clicking on the blue star and then clicking on delete bookmark, it will work with some but not all my bookmarks. I have noticed that the ones that won't work appear to be marked in unsorted bookmarks rather than bookmarks menu.
I have tried many different ways to delete these bookmarks but nothing works. Some of these bookmarked pages need to be signed in and I no longer have a way to sign in or want to sign in.
I just want to delete the bookmark. Please help.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How do i unsynch my emails from hotmail on iphone 4 so that if i delete from my iphone, it won't delete from the desktop email?

I can't "unsynch" my hotmail emails from my iPhone 4.
I had this previously set up on my phone so that I only had my main inbox (no subfolders) and if I deleted an email then it only deleted it from my phone, not from the desktop email.
However, due to having to reset my whole hotmail account today, I had to delete my account from my Iphone and reactivate it, but when I did so it synched everything and now I have all my subfolders etc... and when I delete an email from my phone, it deletes the message from my whole account.
Does anyone know how to re-set this?

The only way to do that is to use a mail server with IMAP access, such as iCloud or Gmail. What you have is a POP account, which is the type provided by most ISP's.

How to identify all jobs that were running at a particular point in time?

TES 6.1.0.391
From time to time, we have a need to identify all jobs that were running at a particular moment in time on a particular agent (we have about 800 agents)...eg "what was running ("Active") at 09:03:42 a.m. two days ago on agent XYZ?"
I've used other job schedulers, and have written queries to extract that info, but I thought before I work on one for Tidal that I would ask the community....how are you getting this info?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

I had some time over the weekend and was able to come up with something of use.

HT201328 How can I restore notes that I have created & deleted by accident?

Hi there, does anyone know how you can restore your notes; as I accidently deleted them?
Thanks,

If you have backuped before you deleted the notes, you can restore from backup using computer iTunes.

Tried to delete an FM book, but won't delete; however files are missing

I'm using RH7 in TCS1 in Windows Explorer.
I imported FM book files by reference into my project. I had forgotten to check abook file prior to import and didn't notice that the book file did not have the necessary graphics. So I fixed the file, then tried to update the book file in RH7. The graphics did not import into RH, so I thought I would start over from scratch and delete the book file in RH. It will not delete and causes RH to crash. The delete option is available, but it doesn't delete them.
So I went into Windows Explorer and deleted the files from there. Then I get a message that says files are missing, and that I need to delete them from Project Manager which is what I was trying to do in the first place.
Can someone please help me delete these files?

Just an update to this posting. I did not have the latest RoboHelp patches installed. For some reason, RH wouldn't let me install
them. So I had to have a complete uninstall of RH, then reinstall it. Once I did
that I installed all of the patches and my book files were deleted.

Running Windows 8.1 and Thunderbird, but Tbird regularly goes "Not Rresponding; particularly when I try to delete something. All Mail won't delete at all.

'''bold text'''Thunderbird crashes regularly when I try to delete email. ALL MAIL doesn't work at all and won't allow me to delete anything. I have gone to Properties many times and tried to repair ALL MAIL but it doesn't work.
I was also unable to open and read any of your responses to previous questions that appear to be similar.
I like many of the features of Thunderbird but am about ready to give up. Help, please.

Is Thunderbird really crashing when you try to delete mail, or is it not responding?
''All Mail won't delete at all.''
What exactly does this mean?
Are you talking about Gmail? If so, do you have any clue what 'All Mail' is, and why it's a bad idea to delete something from 'All Mail'?
''I was also unable to open and read any of your responses to previous questions that appear to be similar.''

Is there a way to delete certain messages that have already been deleted?

I have some deleted messages that I want permanently deleted. Is there a way to delete individual messages permanently?

If you do not have a backup, it's gone no matter who deletes the messages.
If you have a backup, you can restore from that backup to retrieve the messages.

Firefox crashed. tried to delete old to install new. won't delete. tried to replace old with new, but tells me i need to close it first but it's not open

Fire fox crashed. I deleted it and installed new version, it worked fine. Got an email with possible virus, so system restored to an earlier date. When I did this, it brought back the old firefox. I tried to delete it, but it won't delete. When I tried to download new version to replace old version, it says I have to close firefox first, but it's not open. What do I do now?

Hi jposes
Before installing the new firefox go to Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Supr), go to the Processes tab and search for any "firefox.exe" (or firefox.exe*32), give a right click and select "End Process Tree". This should be enough to let you install the new FireFox.
Take care and hope this had been useful to you.

How do i delete an app that just says 'loading...' but never has an X

i downloaded garage band. I have also re-synced my ipad and my computer many times.
the problem: the garageband icon just forever says 'Loading....' but never actually does.
I cannot delete it like a fully loaded app because there is never an 'X' that is there when you press it.
I have tried to reload the app by simplye plugging into the computer as normal when you 'sync' but this app never leaves the 'loading...' mode.
Help! I either want the app to load and work or I want to delete it.
For now, since we cant seem to get it to work...how do i delete it?
I have the ipad with the largest storage and the 3G

I've just been through this experience with Pages. I assume the application shows up in your iTunes, under Apps, correct? If so:
1) with your iPad connected to your computer, CTRL click on your iPad name under Devices and select the Back-up option.
2) from your Summary page (see menu buttons at top of screen), select the Restore button. NOTE: This is going to restore your device to factory settings and will take a little bit of time).
3) when the Restore function is finished, there will be an option on the screen to restore from you iPad backup. Click on that.
At this point, my Pages application was now an active and accessible icon on my iPad.
One caveat, this morning when I downloaded a small "to do" app from the App Store, I watched as my Pages icon on the iPad went into "Paused" mode and then plunged into the perpetual "Loading" and/or "Waiting" modes again. After repeating the steps above, it is once again active on my iPad, but I now wonder if I'm going to have to back up, restore to factory setting, and then re-install everything each time I download a new app...? Only time will tell.
This is a problem associated with the 3G service, with it's 20MB limit and, I'm assuming, will occur with every download that exceeds 20MB...?
I understand that access to WiFi resolves the issue; unfortunately, I don't have WiFi.

I set up new phone (5) as a "new phone instead of backing up from icloud. How can I get back in to use the icloud backup? If I hit "delete account" does that just clear the new phone or does it get rid of my whole icloud account.

In the set-up process I clicked "set up as new phone" when I should have clicked "back up from icloud". I can't use itunes for the back up as it is not current. Is there a way to get back into setup? If I click "delete accout" in icloud management will it clear just my phone (so I can start over) or will it actually delete my icloud?

Settings>General, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Reset, choose to delete all data. Then attach to itunes and choose to perform a restore. You'll get the option to restore from icloud.

How do I unlink objects that I want to delete?

Hi,
If I want to delete video that I used in a project and it is linked to other stuff in the project--How do I delete the video without deleting the other things that it is linked to? Or how do I unlink them?
A warning comes up that reads;
+One or more objects that use this media will also be deleted. Are you sure you want to delete the media used for these objects?+

Also I don't understand why you have me in step 3 Clear the video from the dropzone then in step 4 you have me select it again from the drop down tab in Properties>Media?
I didn't understand it either. I was just going through and trying a bunch of things until I was able to delete the media and not the replace clip.
I've been back through this a couple of times, and I've discovered the procedure, but again, I'm not clear why it works this way. To be honest, you're better off building a workflow like Certified mentioned. Templates are the way to go here. But in case you've already put yourself in this position, you'll need a way out before you can move on. In that case, this should be a useful workaround.
Add Replace 1 to Canvas. Change to Drop Zone. Drag "Video 1" over drop zone to add. In the Image Tab of the Inspector, click the Clear button to remove the video from the drop zone.
In the Media Tab, select the clip and hit delete. You'll get the message which will show all the additional media that will be deleted also. Hit delete again. Everything will go away.
Hit CMD+Z to undo. Hit Delete again. Now only the video shows up in the warning message. Click the Delete button and the video goes away and everything else stays.
