I am trying to get a 8500a connected over wireless but it is not linking to d-link router dir-615.

The printer connects to the same router via wired port but will not get a valid address using wireless. IP address is 169.254.140.246 in the wireless network test report even though everything is labeled PASS
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I have about 8 things on the same network and they all work. It is only the printer. Changing to WPA is better for security anyway so just have to go reenter the netork info on everything.
Weird that the printer reported it was link successfully when it had an invalid IP address.

Trying to get my printer connected to wireless

I am trying to get my printer setup to be able to print wireless.

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!
In order to help you, we need information!
-- What printer are you asking about?
-- Will you be connecting it to your home wifi network?
-- What will you be printing from? A computer, tablet, or laptop?
Have you run the installation disk included with the printer, and choose "wireless" as the method of connection?

I just changed my Condo. Now I cannot connect my macbook to the internet even I already connect the wireless.
For other computer can use the internet when they connected to that wireless, except my macbook.
Please help to reply me.

I second this statement. However, before you go you should check "apple menu > system preferences > network"
Is your Airport visible here? If so, click on it and look for the "show Airport in menubar" checkbox.

Officejet pro 8500A connected via wireless, but not accessible....

I can t access my officejet pro printer via wifi, after a firmware upgrade last week. I can print however from my iPad, but not from my laptop. Both are connected to the same wireless signal. I can see in my printer and router that both are connected. When I connect the printer via a cable to the router, it works.
As said, I lost this after firmware update.
I tried:
Update the software on my laptop : no Improvement
Switch on/off the router, printer, laptop : no improvement....
Can anybody help? Would a downgrade offirmware help? Anybody familiar with this problem?
Laptop : W7-64

The workgroup shouldn't matter. It's strange that the printer will communicate with the laptop as long as one of them is connected via Ethernet to the router. It shouldn't be doing that at all. It has to be something in the router. I know you mentioned using a different router and it worked just fine. Problem is I'm not sure why this router isn't working right. I'm sure the printer is out of warranty, which is why I'm sure you came to the forums first, but you may need to contact HP tech support. They should be able to remote in and find the setting that's blocking communication. II'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link will take you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it out and it is processed, it will give you the printers warranty information, a case number, and the phone number to call.

Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps.

Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps. The Apple Mobile Device driver is loaded and operating. The anti-virus software and firewall are not at fault (were uninstalled, and made no difference). The iTunes on my older machine running Vista does recognize the inoperative iPod (iTunes has detetced an iPod in recovery mode) and allows me to restore the device. Can anyone help to resolve this problem on the Windows 7 PC?

So yu tried all of this:
Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
If you had then time for an appointment at ther Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Hello there Sweebs44,
It sounds like you are tapping the Game Center app to open it, but the screen is blank. I recommend signing out of your account:
Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
From: iPhone User Guide
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6c493cac
Then close all the running apps:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone sign back into your account and try again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

I have produced a number of DVD on my iMac. They are stored in a folder called Burn Folder. I want to get them into iTunes so I can play them on Apple TV. I have tried to convert them to MP4s using Handbrake but Handbrake does not recognize these files.

If you have the original movie files, you'd be much better converting those, otherwise try MPEGstreamclip.

I have an iMac model 4,1 running OSX 10.6.8.   The CD/DVD drive went bad and I have replaced it. However I can not get disks to eject.   I have asked about this before and tried all all the suggestions I have received but I can not eject.

Yesterday I opened up the iMac and reinstalled the drive to make sure that it was not an alignment problem.   I still can not eject.   When I try to eject the drive makes noises like it is ejecting but the disk does not come out.
How do I solve this problem?

Hi again Hal
Link to your other thread > The slot loading CD/DVD drive in my...: Apple Support Communities
You have also tried resetting the PRAM as I suggestion in your other thread...?
See resetting the PRAM > About NVRAM and PRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
