HP Potosmart C4680 connected to Mac-- failed alignment
I replaced a cartrige. But the alignment failed because printer suddenly wouldn't print an alignment page or anything else. Now the printer will print anything I like, but it is badly off line. I found a previously used alignment page and tried to scan it, but the normal scan function only scans to a PC or a memory card and won't scan the replacement alignment page. I tried removing and re-installing the ink cartriges to get the "print alignment page" and "scan alignment page" functions to kick in, they won't. I could print something on a couple of reams of paper till I use up all the ink in the cartriges and get back the "scan alignment page" that way, or I could buy a new printer. Does anybody know a better way of getting the printer back in alignment?
Hi kolonos,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue getting the printer to align the ink cartridges.
I suggest that we remove the power cable from any power bar/strip that you may be using and plug it directly to a wall outlet. This will cause the printer to do a semi power reset and start an alignment process.
Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

External Midi keyboard connection to mac fails
I have a Roland RD-700gx stage piano which I use as a midi keyboard in Logic Pro 9. But now Logic doesn't recognise it anymore. The transport bar says there is 'no in'. Does anyone have an idea what has gone wrong here? So far I've only used the Roland as an external keyboard with usb (so not used sounds from the roland yet). Worked fine so far. I just upgraded to Lion, could that have something to do with it? Can anyone tell me how to make it work again? I forgot how I did it last time. I'm not very experienced with midi. Thanks for any help!
so you have it connected via USB? And is that direct, or a hub? If it's a hub, rule out (common) hub failure by bypassing it and going direct to the computer. After each step, check it with "Audio MIDI Setup" (utilities folder). Make sure the Roland is represented in Audio MIDI Setup with an icon of it's own. If not you would need to "add device" at the top of the A.M.S. window. Next would be to try a different cable.
If you're using an interface, does it have MIDI (5-pin) ports? I'm pretty sure your stage piano has them, you could get an old-school MIDI cable and try it that way. (midi out from piano to midi in on interface)
have you considered an animal sacrifice? -
Entourage 2008 failing to connect to .Mac
Greetings,
This problem started about 2 days ago. Suddenly I am unable to connect to .Mac using Entourage 2008. The error I get is "Connection to the server failed or was dropped." The explanation: "Mail could not be retrieved at this time. Account name: "my account name" Error: -3253"
I checked Google and could not find this particular error code.
I opened up Mac Mail and was able to connect just fine, and I checked the online mail as well, just fine.
I removed the account and re-added it to see if that would help and it did not. No updates or new software were added in a week so I know its not that.
Any ideas?I think this question is not answered. The internet is full of questions like this and it happens that it not only happens with Entourage but with Mail.app as well. No answers so far.
Someone suggested that it has something to do with the firewalls on the mac, but nothing definitive.
Please, I have thsi same problem on both programs and it is very annoying.

Failed to issue print from win7 laptop to Canon MP230 which is connected to mac mini os x 10.8.3
HI
I have recently bought a Canon MP230 printer and connected to my Mac Mini 10.8.3 usb port.
To setup the printer I downloaded the latest driver from canon web site and install all of them
When I issue print from my mac mini it works fine.
Next step was to issue print from Windows 7 laptop .
To do that I intalled Bonjoure in my Windows 7 latpot and set the printer connected to MAc Mini as default printer.
Upto this point every thing works fine.
When I tried to issue print from my Windows 7 laptop the printer gets activated the power button start blinking . But it just pass a page from
input tray to out tary without printing a single line. I have looked into cups server page at my mac mini. It shows that the job fired from windows
laptop was done.
I treid a lot debug it myself . But no luck yet.
Please help me. I am very upset.
Thanks
AnirbanI just updated to 10.8.3 today, and my computer and Apple TV won't even recognize each other now. I have absolutely no advice, but wanted to throw this in so you (and Apple) know you're not the only one.

which cable do I need to connect my Mac Book Pro to my Panasonic PV-GS150 video camera for transferring video to iMovie?
I totally understand.
Check some things from here, I have 2 and they have been great so far.
Check here, lots of storage and reasonable prices. Also great support, you get to speak to a person
Clean off your on the G5 drive and off you go.
I suggest buying a second drive and setting it up for a back up, Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper (both "bootable" back up) All searchable on the web.
http://eshop.macsales.com/search/elite+pro
You can talk to a person for REAL advice, Phone: 800.275.4576 Ask about exporting to your G5 and and exporting to your existing OSX, you may only need a small inexpensive drive for this.
Quick delivery and willing to help.
Hope this makes you back up and running :-)
Do get a back up drive, as it is not ""whether my drive will fail, as much as "when my drive fails"
All the best -

Hi gurues, I'm facing this issue with an IDES on MaxDB with Windows.
System was up and running until someone tries to make an upgrade of the kernel. Since then we can not start our system. we tried to rollback kernel release to the previous one but it didn't work.
When we start our system from MMC console we can see all process in green but work processes are in RUN state and after a few minutes they goes down with the following error

Error message failed "ALIGNMENT" after changing black cart on 7360 no black print.
I have an issue with black print on my 7360, I installed a new black cartridge, ink level monitor displays full. printed test page no black print and have" failed alignment" message after running this test. Tried to run clean" print head" same results very lite black print, not readable. This has been a great printer, have several extra cartridges. I would hate to have to trash it. Any help would be appreciated
I too have a B210 and the IPAD has printed marvelously via WIFI for about a half a year. Now, when the IPAD print radio button appears it still lists the B210 is available as if all is good but the printer doesn't come to life when the print command is issued. Printer sez it is connected to the router, too. I have reset the router and the printer a number of times and the printer sez everything is good. But, I can't print any longer from the IPAD. bummer.

There is another thread mentioning a similar problem, the poster resolved the problem without giving out the details. It was dated Oct 2013.
The last change on my server was a Java 7 update install and system reboot.
In trying to get a grip on the problem I have tried the following. Look at the logs via Server.app. Looks like connection failure is happening every 10s. Looked at ps aux | grep -i postgres and listed layout of /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot using find
At this stage, my guess is a configuration detail for postgres is wrong and I am looking for it. Any suggestions, a fix, appreciated.1. The wiki admin log is as follows:-

2. Thanks for suggesting wikiadmin, will go there to see what can be discovered.
a. I intend to get the Disk Utility to check and correct file permissions if any are wrong. Software updates sometimes get the file permissions wrong.
b. I discover the partition for the Mac OS X is almost full at 250Gb with 16Mb to spare. -
ITunes: Connection manager::invoke:: failed to find service connection url
I have a new Mac Mini and when I tried to enter my password in iTunes to do anything it gives me this error:
Connection manager::invoke:: failed to find service connection url
I noticed the problem when I was trying to transfer my purchases from my iPad to iTunes. It started giving me this error when I typed in my password.
I have tried restarting iTunes, logging out, deauthorize (it dindt let me do that because it did not accept my password), switching passwords, everything.
The password works on my iPad, iPhone, and the app store. It seems to just be having trouble in iTunes.

Mac fails to conect to wireless
My MAC fails to connect to my WLAN when I boot up, if I refresh it then it will connect. Any thoughts!!!
Give us some more information on your WLAN router make, Wireless security options and more detail about the way you've set up the connection.
Other than that I would be shooting in the dark trying to assist you 100%.
One small thought, if you keep getting signal drop outs, the range between your Mac (iMac?) and router may be being impeded by another WIFI signal or walls/copper cabling. This may lead to the killing of your connection.
....I will await more information from you so we can get to the truth of the problem. -
VPN Connectivity from Mac to Windows Server
I have been using Windows OS all my life, now I recently bought a new Mac machine, and it my first time using Mac OSX Lepord, so I don't no much, I tried to connect my Mac to a VPN - windows using the mac VPN Connectivity provided which uses tunneling Protocol, I am successful in establishing connectivity to windows server, but the problem is, it still uses ip address assigned by the router while rowsing, and not the ip address of the VPN machine while browsing sites, the reason I use VPN connectivity is to bypass ISP who blocks most of the useful sites. I tried to set proxy setting in my safari browser, but failed and also automatic proxy does not work, can someone hep me and tell me how to achieve what I am trying to achieve using MAc.
exero –
Though this will be a pain it will help trace down the problem.
Since you are attempting to VPN to the SBS what happens if you connect the Mac locally dose RDP connection map the drives and can you map to the SBS shares directly?
What happens if you try connecting with a PC via the VPN?
Also (though risky) I would open all the ports on your firewall that point to the SBS and try connecting to the VPN again with Mac and see what happens. (Don’t forget to close them back).
Below are two links that may provide some additional information. The first is from Microsoft and list all of the ports used by MS products. The second one is a public post that focuses on SBS 2003.

Network connections on Mac Pro
Hi all, first post.
I've just successfully (in my opinion) installed the latest Arch distrib from CD onto my 2008 Mac Pro. So far so good (and very fast!)
I've come across two issues, one being more important than the other. I cannot seem to get my network connections sorted out.
I have 2x onboard Intel ethernet connections (eth0 & eth1) and a Airport Extreme card (Broadcom BCM4328 rev 03)
lspci | grep Network

Network Manager does not report any of the network interfaces. When I boot the system, "Starting Network" takes for ages and then [FAILS] as the dhcpcd daemon times out. I can however get onto the net?!? If I exclude eth1 and wlan0 from rc.conf then it all goes OK.
For what it's worth, my setup is: ADSL router connected to Mac via ethernet (Only for setup purposes), Airport express base station connected to ADSL router. (the later being my preffered setup...no wires!)
I'm trying to unplug the ethernet link and only make use of the wireless.
I have installed the wl Broadcom module and blacklisted the older modules.
MODULES=(lib80211_crypt_tkip wl !b43 !ssb !b43legacy !ndiswrapper !pcskr !snd_pcsp loop)
#Static IP example
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
wlan0="dhcp"
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(wlan0 eth0 eth1)
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
# - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.254"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
192.168.1.254 is my DNS server in the ADSL router and also the default gateway.
My Airport Express is 10.0.1.2.
I've also had to statically assign hardware addresses to the interfaces due to the broadcom driver...
/etc/rc.d/udev/rules.d/10-networks.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:1d:4f:ff:c3:38", NAME="wlan0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:23:32:30:e9:c0", NAME="eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:23:32:30:e9:c1", NAME="eth1
So, the question is, how do I get shot of the wired connection and only use wireless...but still have the option of going wired if required. Should I be using netcfg??? I haven't done anything with WPA on the wireless side yet???
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks!

Hello, everyone
I've been having a very hard time trying to fix this issue; I get this error 'sometimes', when I try to post a photo to Twitter: "The Tweet cannot be sent because the connection to Twitter failed".
Here's a photo:
How to I fix this?
Please help, Thank you!Never-mind. I found out what's causing this issue. On Twitter's website support page, I found this: https://support.twitter.com/articles/20156423-posting-photos-on-twitter it gives info about posting photos on Twitter; well, it says: "photos must be 5 MB or lower, and GIF's must be 6 MB or lower".
Please share this info to all Mac, or iDevice users who are having this issue. Thank you! -
Time capsule - use as wi-fi connection for mac pro to the internet
hello
i recently purchased a mac pro 2.8/ 2Gb/ 320 HD
it did not come with a wireless card.
today i bought a time capsule and want to use it to connect my mac to my wireless internet connection from my modem (dsl) via the time capsule. i have connected the time capsule to my mac via ethernet.
the internet is not working. can anybody help me please?
i have managed to get the ethernet connected and active.
when i look at "network diagnostics" ethernet is green, network settings is green and isp is green. but internet is red (failed) and service is red.
please helpi will have to use an ethernet cable between the modem and the TC, right?
Yes. It sounds like your modem is actually a combination modem & wireless router instead. Unfortunately, creating a WDS between this device and the TC will be unlikely successful ... so the only alternative (without buying anything else) would be to connect the TC to the modem via Ethernet.
this is frustrating as the apple store i bought the TC from in Osaka, Japan, would not sell me an airport card to install myself.
I believe this is because the AirPort card for your model of Mac Pro is not considered a User-installable item by Apple. I'm surprised they didn't offer to do the install for you.
then, as a solution said that i could use the TC to do what i described above.
Although they were partially correct that it can be done with the TC, it appears that they didn't provide the complete picture on how to do it. -
Forcing OSx to connect 2 Macs using FW or Ethernet rather than via Airport
Moving larger files via an airport network obviously is rather slow. The solution appears to connect via Firewire or Ethernet when sending larger collections of files.
Setup: Macs are connected via an airport network. All Macs have been assigned static IP addresses (10.0.1.201, ...)
Problem: When connecting two Macs via Firewire or Ethernet, the Macs still appear to prefer a connection via the Airport network rather then Firewire or Ethernet. In order to get around this problem, I usually just turn off the Airport network and thereby force OSx to take the connection via Firewire or ethernet.
Question: How can I force OSx to connect both Macs via Firewire or Ethernet without disconnecting from the Airport network?
Failed attempts: I tried to assign different IPs to the Macs in Network > Integrated Firewire, i.e. Mac1's IP in the Airport network is 10.0.1.201. In integrated Firewire, I assigned 10.0.1.212 to Mac1 and tried to connect to it from Mac2 using that IP and which is connected to Mac1 using a Firewire cable. Didn't work
Does anyone have any experience in this? Any advice is greatly appreciated!Hello,
You can reorder network ports in Network Preferences.
Go to "Show > Network Port Configurations" then drag & drop ports so that ethernet and firewire are first in the list.
Now the default route should be via the first connected device.
