HP PSC 1610, extremely slow. PLEASE HELP!

Hi-
I have a HP PSC 1610 and it is making me want to pull my hair out. I've had issues for a while but just attributed them to running out of ink...one cartridge at a time.
I just started a new job and set the printer up to the new laptop. I went and bought two new cartridges (refills) and then I realized I forgot my usb cord.
So I attempted to insert a flash drive as well as a scan disk...both of which would not work (Ive never printed that way so I dont know what the deal was.)
But I borrowed someones usb cord and hooked it up.
First, it took ages for the cartridges to align.
Then finally, it got started printing and oh my goodness....it takes 25 minutes to print one page that it took 60 seconds to print just the other day.
---To clarify---after installing the printer onto a new laptop, using a new usb cord, installing new cartridges and sticking a flash drive and scan disk in briefly and getting error message....
my printer now prints insanely slow.
I then hooked it up to my personal computer to see if it were the new computer's fault and it is still printing horribly slow on here.
I have a TON of things that I need to print out for work, which is why I bought new ink.
Any thoughts? Im saying a prayer!!
thanks in advance

HI,
This sometimes happens with refills. Keep in mind that a cartridge is build for single use. Refilling is in most cases possible, but if the cartridge body is a little old it can run hot pretty fast and the printer will slowdown printing to allow for cooling time. I suggest you return the refills to the place you bought them as a lot of refill stations/brands do offer a kind of warranty on their cartridges.

Although I work for HP my posts and replies are my own

Apple TV Extremely Slow - Please Help

I just received an Apple TV for Christmas and this is my first Apple product that I have ever been disappointed with. It's EXTREMELY SLOW! I am using it wirelessly through my Time Capsule and I have a pretty fast DSL connection. I also have a Roku box and a BluRay DVD player that has internet services as well like VuDu and NetFlix. Movies start almost instantly on all of my devices and play flawlessly except the Apple TV. Movies on Apple TV take about 5 to 8 minutes to start versus only just a few seconds on my Roku box and instantly using VuDu. Is this normal or do I have a defective unit?

Just wanted to let you all know that I have the same Problem
I own a iMac with 802.11 N WiFi With Airport Extreme I also use an iPhone 3GS WiFi G and have recently Purchased an Apple TV I can never get my Apple TV to hit rate speed of 72 or higher. I have tried everything My iMac hits rate speeds of 270 sometimes Using 802.11 N while my apple TV only hit 72 at the highest even My iPhone 3GS hit speeds of 58 to 60 with WiFi G. I have noticed that even if I set up a separate Network using the 5Ghz of the Airport Extreme I get even lower speeds like down to 38 to 40 on my Apple TV I realy dont have a lot of problems downloading movies per say but there have been times were I have had to wait like 20 min just to watch a 720p video from youtube or Movie Trailer. I can go from my TV to my computer using the same network and get the movie downloaded a lot faster using my computer???? What is going on Apple???? I really enjoy Apple products but I have to say I am somewhat unsatisfied with the Apple TV....What am I doing wrong??? I have tried to move my Airport extreme right next to Apple TV and with no speakers or anything around and I never get higher that 72 or so I Want to know is my iMac Airport Extreme Just reading it wrong or What... Please Help Apple????

G5 now extremely slow - please help

I have a 3 year old IMAC G5 PowerPC that up until 2 weeks ago ran like a charm. It's now slow to a crawl during any sort of tasks. There was nothing installed or upgraded to this computer that could have caused this. So far this is what I have done to try to correct this problem ... not much but a few things. I ran SMART UTILITY .. and my HD failed the test so I thought for sure this was the culprit. Went out the next day and baught a new 500Gb drive, installed FRESH copy of TIGER on it and prayed. There was no change in speed whatsoever .. it actually seemed even slower than before. The only thing left that I can think of is possibly bad ram or worse a motherboard issue ... but woudnt the computer simly not boot up or give me errors if this was the case?
Please help .. I cant afford to take it to the APPLE store, hoping anyone have any suggestions or think they know what could be the problem here. I payed like $2000 for this 3 years ago and hate to have to throw it on the curb for garbage pickup.

I do not know how to test my ram .. what I was going to do was ask around and test it with someone else's ram .. is there a way to check it beacuse I don't know?
The hardrive did show bad sectors but I installed a new one, tested it - all fine but that didnt help the crawl. Also do not know what your asking me or heard of that CD that tests hardware , where would I find this?

I turned it off and let it sit there, then I turned it on and it took about 3 minutes to show the Log in screen, then I logged in and it was taking long to load the stuff in my desktop and it was being really slow for everything.
Please Help!

How to properly install airport extreme?please help

please help me install this airport extreme
i think im doing everything right but i dont know
please help
thanx

When changing ISPs (or networking equipment) it's always a good idea to start from "scratch" in configuring your equipment.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

My PC won't find my airport extreme. Please help so I can access external hard drive and printers and internet.

airport extreme (newest version) has external HD connected and two printers. everything works fine from my MBP. My PC on the other hand wont even access the internet while connected to airport via ethernet. Please help me.

Sorry I don't really understand.... there are no partitions on the drive. How do I repartition it?
And should I use "erasing free space" or "erase" for wiping clean my drive of everything? Erase seems to be faster last tiem I tried.
Thanks!

Mac OS Mountain Lion 10.8.3 suddenly became extremely slow, need help!

Hi everybody!
I need help with my Mac OS Mountain Lion.
Was working fine with it since it got released, but yesterday suddenly it became exteremely slow. It literally thinks for 20 minutes on any operation I'm trying to do, showing me the loading spin icon. Screen freezes, everything is not responsive at all and I just have to wait for ages till something is moved a bit and then it thinks again.
I don't see anything in particular in the logs. CPU load is low, memory using is low, all temperatures are fine. I even cleaned up the stuff with CleanMyMac app, didn't help.
Checked the hard drive with Disk Utility - didn't help either.
Please help, I'm hopeless and out of ideas what's wrong with it.
Thanks

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing, regardless of SMART status or anything else.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

S400u unbearably slow - Please help!

Hi all,
I've purchased this ultrabook in Brazil, in September/13.
For the last few months it's been getting annoyingly slow, to the point that I'm getting really frustrated.
The main sympthoms are:
1) The computer gets really (really!) slow, particularly after returning from hibernation or sleep mode
2) Sometimes it freezes at the welcome screen; I use image based access security, where you have to click the same spot 3 times in order to login. After I do the 3 clicks it takes about 20 seconds to start processing the info.
3) The touchpad pointer freezes. The buttons usually still work, however the pointer itself stays frozen for up to a minute.
4) Programs get really slow and unresponsive. Initially I thought it was a problem with them, but after a while all of them started to show these problems!
5) The start menu gets really slow - If I want to look for a program or file by typing it's name at the start menu, it takes a long time for the characters to even show up at the search box and, when they do, it takes even longer for the program or file to show up below it.
I've tried a number of actions in order to solve this issue, but the problem seems to grow at a fast pace.
Here's what I've done so far:
1) Updated drivers (with the drivers available at this website!)
2) Installed all Windows updates available (I run Windows 8.1)
3) Made registry modifications - to increase speed at certain tasks
4) After action 1 didn't work, I downloaded a software called Driver Boost (from iobit), to update the drivers again.
5) Installed a ram booster software
6) Used CCleaner to clean up the registry files
7) Changed the priority and affinity settings of certain tasks (lowered the priority for non-important tasks and increased for the important ones) in order to be able to dedicate more of the i5 processor's energy to what I use most.
8) Made sure the computer is free of virus and spyware.
9) Changed the power settings to max performance.
Every time I make one of these changes the computer gets a little faster for a little while, but then it gets worse.
Please assist, I use this computer to work and this is really frustrating, specially since it's suposed to be an ULTRAbook.

hi megllama
upgrading to ilife'06 might not be a bad idea but my question to you is what was the size of your hard drive before? you say that you have 11 gigs left. according to apple you require 20% of harddrive to be free to allow the system to work quickly and smoothly. do you clean all your caches and cookies? freeing up space is probably what you need. download 'onyx' a maintenance application. use it to clear out caches, cookies etc. lastly, provided that you can spare the expense a memory upgrade wouldn't hurt. more RAM is a big help.

Dropped Frame WARNING! RT Extreme Issue PLEASE HELP!

I've recently switched from PC to Mac and bought a MBP 2.5 and upgraded from 2gb RAM to 4gb.
For the last week I've been trying to learn the program with the FCE book from Apple and have been uploading footage from the enclosed CD and adding transitions and filters without a glitch.
But last night as I tried to open a new lesson and play it back I got this pop-up message.
One or more frames were dropped during playback
-Turning off "Unlimited RT"
-Lowering your compression data rate.
-Closing open sequences.
-Lowering the preference for real-time audio tracks.
-increasing the speed of your system and/or disk drives and/or network connection.
(in red) RT Extreme has determined these dropped frames were caused by slow disks. Please try:
-Increasing the speed of your disks.
-Decreasing the number of RT layers.
-Limiting your RT bandwidth in User Preferences.
Again I am very new to Mac, and I have no idea how to adjust all these setting or find any folder that I can erase or adjust the speed. I've searched all over the discussion board and can't find a clear answer for this. The Mac I bought is brand new from the Apple store and I thought it would be suffice for running FCE especially with the RAM upgrade so I think there's just something I need to tweak either in the System menu or the HD settings. Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated, also if any of you know any good book you can recommend for FCE I am all ears.
Thank you in advance.
Daniel

This is all about the preview and playback experience whilst editing and does not limit the quality of anything on a final render.
Final Cut takes rendered video segments and applies certain things dynamically and does stuff like overlaying audio tracks (and adjusting all of their volumes) on the fly whilst you are previewing.
Give Final Cut more work to do and you will eventually hit some resource constraint on your system. You can either ignore this message or set some limitations on the quality that you expect during preview of this kind so that you get a smooth experience or you can turn off the warning and get noticable performance degradation.
You need to decide if you can afford stutter etc. whilst performing an edit session or if you can sacrifice some video or audio quality (that will return on export) or if you need beefier hardware. Its just a matter of choice but I agree the warning looks nasty.

Mac shuts down after start up and before it was acting very slow, please help!!!

Recently my imac has been running unusually slow when I open/close apps or when loading things, it sometimes would freeze or take about 20 secs to load etc.
So in an attempt to fix it it cleared all unnecessary files from my computer but nothing too technical.
Then yesterday i was told by my brother to go onto disk utilities and verify/repair the disk. Both times it failed and further repeats failed. After the repair disk failed a message along the lines of "back up data you want then restore the disk" something like that.
Now today when I started up my computer in the morning it was fine, then a couple of hours ago I restarted it, and now it won't turn on properly. It goes to the apple icon with a spinning loading wheel and a empty bar underneath and after about 20 secs it shuts down. So then I did the thing where you hold down cmd and r to open osx utilities and went to disk utilities again to try and repair/verify the disk and again the same failure and messages came up suggesting to restore my disk.
Being 16 I only understand so much and understand that I will probably have to put in the installation disk or something and "re do my computer from scratch." But I do have things I want to back up before I do so but due to the load up problem I have no way of backing up photos, music and files and i don't know if the time machine has backed up the data for me (I don't really understand the time machine). I'm currently using my phone to post this, any help would be greatly appreciated because I don't really know what else to do now. My imac is 21.5 inch that I bought around 2years ago late december time. Thank you for your time

Sounds like a classic HD failure. Take the machine to your local Apple Store or AASP, if it is still covered by AppleCare they will handle it at no charge. If you have been backing up then once the machine comes back restore from backup. I get you are only 16, so I'd explain to your parents the computer needs to be taken in for service, if they bought it for you they would know if it is covered by AppleCare or not, assuming they originally bought the computer for you.
Good luck.

Macbook Pro mid-2010 is slow-please help.

My MacBook Pro is too slow & the spinning pizza appears too often. I have deleted as much as I can to help it out. I have downloaded EtreCheck as other members have & included its results below. Can anyone help me? I have read many answers and understood little, especially the complicated answers.
My macbook is as follows:

Error message when trying to setup Airport Extreme Unit - Please Help

I have never tried to set an Airport Extreme, but expected it to be relatively simple.....
I have been given an Airport Extreme unit (model A1143 - 802.11n) to use to set up a wireless network in my home. I am using the airport utility app to try and set this up but recieve the following error message:
This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support.
I have downloaded the latest version of airport utility 6.3.1 as the old version would not install, but still i cannot get past the error message.
I am running a Macbook with OS X Lion 10.7.5 on it.
Could anyone help me with this issue and assist in getting me setup.
Thanks
Stuart

Unfortunately, things like this can happen when you try to use current software on a 6 year old product.
The solution is exactly as the message states:
You will need to use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update the firmware on the AirPort Extreme.
AirPort Utility 5.6 can be installed on a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC. If you do not have access to one of these devices, you might be able to take the AirPort Extreme to an Apple Store to have them update the firmware for you.
Once the firmware on the AirPort Extreme has been updated......then..... it will be possible to administer the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility 6.3.1.
