HP Photosmart C4400 series-Won't scan to Mac, but will Scan to Print

I just bought the Snow leopard and this is my first time scanning to my computer...it keeps saying the scanner is not initialized or it will say "sorry, scanner could not be initialized. an error has occurred communication with the scanner." I downloaded the HP Printer Drivers reading that it would help but then said "this volume does not meet the requirements for this update" I am using this for my online classes and I need this scanner ASAP. Please help!

Hiya
OK, I tried using image capture but I couldn't scan text with it so what I did is go to the HP site and downloaded the new driver. The site is a bit pants but if you select any C4400 series printer, i think (dont quote me) that its the same driver anyway. There is 1 driver for tiger lepoards etc and a new one for 10.6.
Anyway I uninstalled my old software and installed the latest software, selected printer etc. Worked a treat. While I didn't want the hassle of this, I scanned the pdf in and tried highlighting the text. Preview works bloody brilliantly. This is going to make life very much easier, Preview picks text up just as it says on the tin. For a dsylexic like me, this is priceless!!!

  • Quicktime won't play on Mac but will on windows.  Help.

    Hello. I'm trying to help a student who's taking an online class using Course Compass. She is on a Mac using 10.6 and I'm using 10.5. Neither of us can get the videos in the course to work. The Quicktime plug in is getting activated, but nothing plays. Strangely enough, the play just fine on Windows. Here is one of the videos: http://www.mathxl.com/Info/MediaMov.aspx?movurl=http%3a%2f%2fmedia.pearsoncmg.co m%2faw%2fawbittinger_prealgebra_5%2fvideo%2fbpa05_0304e05MSTR.mov
    Thanks for any help!

    I see a box that says "Show legacy codecs" but when I check it nothing happens.
    Believe this setting is to enable named list access of the legacy codecs for encoding purposes -- not playback.
    As far as I know, you should have playback access under Leopard without having to do anything more. However, this assumes that you are, in fact, receiving the data stream. BTW: this is an RTS (Real Time Streaming) file, so make sure your streaming/transport protocols are properly set.
    As to Snow Leopard, I am still unsure if legacy access is handled solely by the dual 32-/34-bit structure embedded in the OS in conjunction with the QTkit or whether the QT 7.6.3 Player must also be installed. (Since I was a QT Pro user, this was all done automatically for me when I upgraded to Snow Leopard.) As to streaming the file to Snow Leopard, I was unable to get the file to stream at all with either QT X or QT v7.6.3. (I.e., it simply keeps "negotiating" with the server until it is finally timed out.) Since many users have complained of streaming problems on a hit or miss basis, I am, for the nuance, considering this to be a Snow Leopard issue.

  • Hp 7525 Photosmart printer won't scan to my PC but will scan to other PCs on the LAN

    Hp 7525 Photosmart printer won't scan to my PC but will scan to other PCs on the LAN.  I tried to install the printer software but it says it is already installed.  Do I have a security setting wrong?
    Other PC names show up on the printer's touch screen but not mine.  We are all on the same wireless subnet with the printer at a fixed IP address.
    I can print from my PC and scan from my PC but I can't scan from the printer touchscreen to my PC.

    Hi,
    You may have to start from your computer first:
        Double click printer icon on desktop,
        Select Manage Scan to Computer
        Click Enable -
        Restart your printer to see, is your machine in the list ?
    Regards.

  • Can scan to email but cannot scan to computer using 6830 and OS Yosemite

    I just purchased 6830  to use with my imac with Yosemite.  I am able to scan to email but I am not able to scan to computer.  I have installed the latest driver .  I followed directions to access HP utility and there was no way to get to scan preferences.  Any ideas how to scan to computer.  I keep getting message to open up the utility which does not get may anywhere.

    Hi @pfgoodman1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that you can scan to email but cannot scan to computer using your HP Officejet 6830 and OS Yosemite. I am sorry to hear this but I am happy to help!
    First, I would make sure that the full feature software and driver is installed and not just the basic software.  
    Then I would recommend the following guides:
    Scan From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a PDF, and to a Memory Device) for HP Offic.... (Select Scanning a photo (.jpeg) or document (.pdf) to the computer.)
    A 'No Computer Found' Message Displays for HP Officejet 6810 and HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One ....
    Hope this helps!

  • Imported Songs Won't Play in iTunes, but will on iPod

    I recently imported many songs from a hard drive into my iTunes library. I then updated my iPod with these additions. The songs play on my iPod but will not play in iTunes, or allow me to create a playlist containing these songs. I get a message saying that "the song _______ could not be used because the original file could not be found."
    When I reconnect the hard drive, the songs play, but when it is disconnected, they won't. I tried to "authorize computer", but that didn't do anything.
    Any suggestions for how to fix this issue?
    Thanks.

    Are you saying you have music on an external drive and it won't play if the drive is not plugged in?
    You are not very clear with your question, but I wonder if you tried to add them to your library on your internal drive. If so take a look at:
    Edit>Preferences>Advanced>General
    Is "Copy files to Itunes Music folder when adding to library" checked? If not the songs would be left on the external drive.
    If this is the case, you could plug in your external drive and then consolidate your library. This will copy ALL files not in your iTunes Music folder into the iTunes Music folder.
    If you intentionally keep some of your music outside the iTunes Music folder you may want to think about the implications before using Consolidate.

  • IPAD 2 Won't Charge on USB port on my laptop, my desktop Mac but will charge via the wall plug

    I am confused on what to do with my IPAD 2.  It won't charge via my USB Port on my PC that I travel with.  Also I just purchased a new desktop Mac and it will not charge on that USB port either.  But it will charge via the Wall Plug that came with it.  I am worried when I travel to different countries to use the wall plug.  I have an adapter to switch power.  I am from Canada and travel oversees where the power is 240 vs the 120 at home.  If I use my plug adapter and plug in my ipad to the wall Will I destroy the battey in my IPAD 2.  I love my ipad to travel with but it is very frustrating when it will not charge on my PC or on the airplane.  Then I am afraid to use the wall plug in the airport because of the difference in power.  Would really appreciate some help here because I am oversees 2 weeks a month and only get a couple days use of my IPAD.  I have all my books and everything on it and need to be able to recharge it.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Confused!!!!

    For better future reference, you should be aware that the voltage means nothing when it comes to charging power. All that that is telling you is that the Power Adapter will work across that voltage range, i.e., you don't need a transformer to plug it into the outlet (although you may need different plugs, which is a separate topic).
    What matters is the amperage (A) and the power in watts (W). The Power Adapter puts out 2 A @ 5 VDC (volts DC), which means it's producing 10 watts of power. It will output that across the entire voltage range.
    A high-power USB port on a PC will put out 0.5A @ 5VDC, or 2.5 W. Be aware that not all of the ports on any given PC are likely to be putting out even that much power, at may well be putting out less than half as much. That's why you'll often see the "Not Charging" when plugged into a USB port, especially on Windoze laptops, and why it will charge very slowly even when it works.
    FYI, the charger which is sold with the iPhone looks identical, is called the same thing, but only puts out 1A. It will work on the iPad but will charge more slowly. By that same token, the iPad charger will charge an iPhone just fine, it will just charge faster.

  • External disc won't mount in Leopard, but will in Snow Leopard

    I have a 5-yr-old G5 networked to a new iMac. I have had a 1-TB external HD attached via Firewire 400 to the G5 for about a year. Yesterday it didn't show up on the G5 desktop. I went to this forum, searched under "disc won't mount", got some ideas, ran DiskWarrior and Disk Utility...but nothing worked. They all said the disc was fine, directories rebuilt, etc., but it wouldn't mount. This AM it occurred to me that I had the correct cable, so I tried plugging it into the iMac instead. It worked. The data is safe, the disc shows up, everything seems to be OK, but it won't mount to the G5. Why would that happen, and how can I mount it to the G5? And how likely is the disc to remain accessible?

    May I hop onto your thread as I have a similar problem.
    I have a 5 year old G5 PMac with 10.5 onto which I have daisy chained two UltraMax 1TB firewire 800 drives. For the last 5 years I have been able, even with out sharing enabled, to connect to the G5 from a G4 Graphite with 10.4, a G4 Powerbook with 10.5 and now a MbP with 10.6.
    After completing the login dialogue in the past from any other mac it would give me a list of the G5, it's Hard disk, user directories and the two Firewire Drives. On selecting them the drive would mount onto the desktop as a network drive. This went well until monday when it became temperamental in the morning and after a few restarts and one successful mount it has not shown up since. If I come to the G5 via the Go > Connect to Server I get a dialogue "Could Not connect to the server because the name or password are incorrect". If I try to connect via the network icon in the side window of the finder window I get a network dialogue log in, I get a list of folders and drives but then when selecting the FH drive get an error message which relates to the alias to the G5 Server requiring deleting or fixing.
    Originally it just connected without any messing but now unless i make the firewire drive a shared drive the process on the other macs cannot see the firewire drive. NOTE - After having made the internal boot HD of the G5 shared, I can now see and mount this drive from the other macs but not the external drive.
    This is causing me to pull my hair out, I have run disk utility, powered down unconnected and reconnected everything .The HD's appear to be working ok from the G5.
    I urgently need to connect the FW drive to my G4 to do some work but it also needs to be connected to the G5, has anyone got a clue why I cant get G4 (or any other mac) to mount G5's external FW drive

  • Superdrive won't play burned audio, but will play store ones

    Superdrive in  late  2008 Macbook pro won't play audio from burned cd, but will play store ones
    burned CD will play on other Mac's including late 2011 Macbook pro

    The problem is 2 fold.
    You must use good quality Media. Not bargin basement cheap media. This more than any other thing is a huge problem. I find that using 16X DVD-R Media. This is the most recognised of all media for player, and computer recognition.
    Most users make there biggest mistake by buying cheap media and then can't fiqure out why they have a problem.
    Next It is a Software problem. Apple's media can sometimes be a problem to learn and use and is very limited as to it's capability.
    I find that if you plan on doing a lot of burning you need to have a top of the line software.
    http://www.roxio.com/
    This software comes with several features, This software will burn
    Video TS
    Audio
    Data
    And most importantly has an automatic compression feature, that will compress Video TS folders that are larger than 4.7gb to fit on a standard 4.7gb disc.
    If you plan to do dvd burning here are 3 links that will not only back up what I have stated above, but gives all users a ton of important information.

    There isn't a form on the page entry.html.
    You do have two input tags, such as
    <input name="Agree" type="submit" id="Agree"
    value="Agree">
    but these need to be enclosed in <form></form>
    tag to work.
    The page doesn't have a doctype, and fails validation; the
    page will be in
    quirks more, and Macintosh browsers are probably making
    different guesses
    than the PC browser as to what should be done.
    Easiest solution? Create two images (one for agree, one for
    disagree) which
    looks like a button, and change the code
    <td><a href="
    http://www.sydneyundergroundfilmfestival.com/entry2.html">
    <input name="Agree" type="submit" id="Agree"
    value="Agree">

  • Yahoo mail messenger won't work in FF, but will in IE. What gives?

    '''bold text''" Okay so what is the deal? I have Yahoo mail messenger working fine on FF one week, the next it won't even show me my received messages? Now it's working fine on IE but I hate using IE and would prefer to use that for one site only. Why isn't not compatible anymore with FF? I've already changed settings on Yahoo so it's not them. Please help?

    I posted this problem a couple of days ago. I have 50 or more groups, some with several hundreds of names & these groups no longer import. I have gone to apple genius bar & they are clueless. Apparently apple opted to make maverick work for gmail but now it won't work for mac mail.
