Lost software utility? pls help

trying to follow HP confusing and garbled/wrong tech sup. I think I may have deleted some utility functions from my OS.
Do you know how I can check and replace or fix. Have no ink levels, other tools don't work, cannot clean from Mac., only can test pattern with printer button sequence. Prints no blue,green, only thin blue line on hp sunflower logo. HP tech said my cartridge is empty, Office Max said not yet, is software lost. No one knows for sure. This is rediculous and frustrating. Got drivers several times, why are the files so big, gimp messed me up, they hp told me to delete all printer drivers. How where to get what if I need to make work? deskjet895Cse. It worked before when I first got it, only 9 color pages 9x11 on new cartridge. Had trouble keeping the right driver or setup. Please, nothing should be this difficult. Have lost all confidence in HP.
thank you, primative

Dear Primative:
People in these forums report varying degrees of success working with HP printers. I had HP walk me through a wireless printer installation and I personally found their instructions helpful and accurate.
HP's tech support page claims that, for printing under Tiger, you don't need to install drivers because they're built-in. Some people don't agree with this statement, but I suggest you follow HP's suggestion before you try other more drastic solutions:
1. Open the "Printer Setup Utility" in Applications-->Utilities
2. From the menu, choose "Reset Printing System." This should delete HP printing queues you have, if any.
3. Click "Add" to add your (connected) printer. I'm assuming it is a USB connection.
If this is successful and your printer is added and appears in the list, selecting it and clicking the "Utility" icon will give you access to the HP Inkjet Toolbox. You'll be able to check ink level, clean and calibrate your printer.
Good luck.

  • ITunes Library wiped out after software update - Pls help !

    I set my iMac periodically runs auto software update, and after I run iTunes 6.0.5 (20) software update, I opened iTunes and a warning message says, "Files moved to iTunes Library Damaged 1", and the library is empty !!
    On further search, when I go into HD, a folder "iTunes Library" seem to have those previous songs. Looking thru the files, it seems as though they are all the songs I lost. Can I load these songs back to the iTunes Library, which is empty right now? Or are these damaged files?
    FYI - I previously had iLife'05, but thru periodic software updates, iTunes is now version 6.0.5 (20). Is this compatible with the specs of my mac?
    Kind of mad, b/c I literally just purchased songs and did not back them up....
    Any help or advice is welcome.
    Thanks!

    The first tip is to turn off the auto update features. The Mac OS will still go look but will ask you if you wnat to install. It is usually a good idea to wait a week or so after an update see what problems others are having.
    You tunes files are ok - it is the "iTunes Library" and the "iTunes Music ....xml" that are damaged. These are data base files that work with iTunes and other programs so they know where to go look if a program needs to use something in iTunes.
    When you open iTunes the 2 noted files above will be located in HD>User>Music>iTunes. you can just "add" the tunes back into the library and it should be ok. Note that you will lose your old info such as "date added" etc.
    You can go to the Apple Store online and select the Apple Software option to see the system requirements for iLife06.

  • All contacts and all text messages were gone. How can i retrieve the lost contents? Pls help me.

    Hi! I was browsing my facebook account when my iphone 3G restarted on its own. The apple icon appeared and when the "restarting" process was over, I lost all my installed apps, the contents of my phonebook were gone, all text meassages saved were also gone. It was as if I had a new phone again. I am really lost now and I don't know if there is a way of retrieving my contacts and my messages. Please help me if you have encountered this same problem before. This is the first time I had a problem with my phone and now everything is gone without a warning.
    Please help me. Thanks!

    I upgraded to OS5 yesterday and all my contacts including names, email addresses, and phone numbers have been deleted. When I tried to revert to a previous back up, the only one was the one that was done right before I downloaded the new OS. All other previous backups were gone. In addition, I bought 40.00 worth of extra storage space to back up to iCloud and had to start it over several times before it finally worked...25 hours later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am MAD that the new OS download procedure deleted EVERYTHING in my contacts. The only thing that remains are my favorited phone numbers but none of them are labeled so I have no idea who anyone is except I sort of know where some people were on the list. This is HORRIBLE and so far I've seen hundreds of these exact kinds of posts all over the Net, not just here on the Apple website. I've done everything I could on my own and tried several things that have been suggested by other Apple users here in the forum. Nothing has worked and evidently nothing was saved to my iCloud storage, either. Now I'm having to pay for a 1pm phone call with tech support that I'm sure will cost me a freaking fortune to tell me that I'm screwed-and that'll be 75.00, please.
    yeah, Genius. Nice job Apple.

  • HT4623 i have an iphone 4 but when i go to general n settings  there is no option as software update . pls help

    i have an iphone 4 ios 3.1.3 which is outdated . i went to settings , general but there was no software update feature . its on all other phones same models which myfriends have . can anyone help.

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    1. Ethernet .. are you using ethernet?
    2. Change the name of the TC to short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    3. In the file sharing page change the workgroup to WORKGROUP.
    4. In the same area, change the guest access to on read and write.
    5. If you setup homegroup on the PC get rid of it.. TC is not compatible with homegroup.
    6. Turn off ipv6 in the network settings for ethernet. (since you are going to be using ethernet).
    From Mac version utility it looks like this.
    Go to the admin tools and ensure that bonjour for windows is on.
    Manually type the IP directly into windows explorer.. do not open via MyComputer.
    \\10.0.1.1
    Because the error message is important.

  • I downloaded my software update yesterday but until now i was not able to open my iphone it keeps on blinking and the battery is too low even i kep on charging on it...it will just light up with the apple logo...pls pls help me what should i do with thank

    pls  help.... with my problem with my iphone

    The phone randomly shutting down-that could be a hardware issue. Do you live near an apple store? they could see whats up with the phone. It could very well be something in the software though. A good way to test it would be to follow this article:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  and test it for a few days. If it doesn't do the shutting down thing, you know it's a software issue. If it still does it, you know it's a hardware issue.
    As far as deleting the apps, they'll always be there. Just make sure there's not a check mark next to them and they won't sync to your phone =]

    I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6.  That's the latest version.
    Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them.  And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore.  Sorry about this.

  • All my send out email lost in cyberspace! Pls Help!

    Hi pp,
    Pls help me! I believe my Mail started to behave strangely when I update the latest security patch or OSX to 10.4.5 ... am using Mail 2.0.7 now...
    Everything look and work fine for my mail server... I can download all email that people send to me, and it's seems like I can send out email to my friends too...
    **** No! Mail seems to work fine when I try sending out email. No error msg, no blockage... everything looks just alright. But my friends have complained to me that they didnt received a single email from me...
    1.feeling something wrong, I called up my Mail server hosting company to check my mail and they say nothing is wrong.
    2. I do a roundtrip testing, by sending email from my own account to my own account. I send out about 10 over mail... nothing was received.
    3. I do a disk verification using Disk Utility. No error detected.
    4. Decided to download a third-party email client program to test, IT'S WORK!
    I can use other email client program to send out and able to receive!
    Conclusion is, if I use Mail to send out my email, it will send out but eventually disappear before reaching the recipient. Something must be wrong with my System or Mail... but I've run out of idea on how to solve it...am getting very desperate at the current situation... hopefully there are some genius or knowledgable kind soul fellow that can help me on this mystery error... hereby, thanks alot fto anyone who offer their help to me. greatly appreciated.
    Powerbook G4 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Nothing in any update should have caused this, and clearly has not for most people -- therefore we should seek an answer aside from waiting for some unknown update.
    What type of account do you have -- POP, IMAP or .mac. In Mail Preferences, what are the selections in Mailbox Behaviors for this account?
    In the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes -- is there an Outbox.mbox folder, and is it represented by a blue Icon? At Home/Library/Mail/this account folder, are there both a Drafts.mbox folder, and Sent Messages.mbox folder, and are both blue icons?
    More info, please.

    Your iOS version is probably too old to support software update.  You must update using iTunes on your computer.
    Make sure your iTunes on the computer is current.  Plug your iPhone into iTunes.  Let it sync.  Then choose "Check for Updates..." from the iPhone's summary tab in iTunes.  That should od it for you.

  • HT1766 yesterday i connect my iPhone with iTunes then one MSG displayed on screen about backup i ignore that but same time i have lost all my installed app from my iPhone pls help me.

    yesterday i connect my iPhone with iTunes then one MSG displayed on screen about backup i ignore that but same time i have lost all my installed apps incouled my pics and vids from my iPhone pls help me.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
