Mac lost contact with HP color Laserjet 3700 via USB

Hi,
Since a few days I can't get connection anymore with my HP color Laserjet 3700 via USB-cable. My Mac recognizes the printer with its name, also states when I plug in the USB that the printer is online. However, when I want to print documents, it states "wait until the printer is available" and no prints are generated.
Via an iMAC, I tried to print via the same USB cable, and that works fine. I tried rebooting, software updates, all the lot. Nothing worked. I found some technical details via About this MAC and the difference between my MacBook en iMAC is:
PPD-version = 16.4 on the iMAC and 17.3 on my MacBook
CUPS-version = 1.4.4 on the iMAC and 1.4.5 on my MacBook Pro
Who has any ideas what I can do the get printing again?
Thx,
Aldert

Via other threads I found the solution:
see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2640270&start=15&tstart=0
I had the same problem "Waiting for printer to become available... " - HP LaserJet 2500 L with iMAC 11.1 running Mac OS X Version 10.6.5. since the "HP Printer Software Update 2.5.2".
This also helped for me:
1) delete all of the items whose name starts with "hp_" in System/Library/Extensions
2) Disconnect the printer and turn off the printer
3) delete the printer if it's still there
4) reset the printing system
5) restart the Mac
6) empty the trash
7) turn on the printer and reconnect the printer to the MAC
8) reinstall the printer

Attempting to upgrade to Server 4; have Server 4 app on my local Mac to administer a remote Mac mini running Server 4. Server app 4 on the mini connects to itself; however, I cannot user Server app 4 on my local Mac to connect remotely to the mini.

HP Color Laserjet 3700

My HP Color Laserjet 3700 would print multiple pages of a document with Windows XP Pro. I purchased a new computer with Windows 7 Professional and I receive the following message on the second page when I try to print multiple copies.
Error:             Unable to store job at printer
Reason:          Printer does not support collation at printer
Solution:         Turn of Mopier Enabled in your printer driver
I am looking for help in correcting this problem if there is a solution. The printer works well for all jobs except when I am trying to print multiple copies of the same job.

Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

How can I synchronize my Outlook for Mac 2011 contacts with iCloud?

Don't works synchronize my outlook for mac 2011 contacts with iCloud. Someone can help me please?

Outlook 2011 for Mac is not compatible with iCloud Contacts & Calendars because Microsoft do not support the industry standard CardDAV and CalDAV protocols that iCloud uses.

I set my cRIO from 'DHCP' to 'link local' and lost contact with it.

I set my cRIO from 'DHCP' to 'link local' and lost contact with it.
I changed the setting at the placed labeled "2" to link local only, then I think I hit save at "3". Then poof, I had no network contact with my cRIO.
I tried;
Hitting the reset button
Opening a closing MAX
Going to safe mode
Throwing the Reset IP switch
Power cycling the cRIO
Running cat 5 cable directly from the Host to my target
None of it worked, and I have no contact with my cRIO.
This is what MAX looks like now. How can I fix this?
Solved!

Make sure to disable the firewall on your computer.
Otherwise you can check through the steps in this documentation:

Note specifically that one option is to read the console out from the target VIA the serial port will a null modem cable during boot and it will indicate what IP the system is using.

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Muse Lost Contact with my Site

First of all, I'd like to tell you how bad it sucks to have to go through this process to get support. My recommendation of Muse just went from a 10 to a 4; this is unacceptable.
Out of NOWHERE, Muse lost contact with my site. I didn't do A SINGLE THING different, but now my site will no longer update. I've gone as far as to delete everything and starting over, uploading 80 pages and 787 files to try to make my site functional again, to NO AVAIL. Even though I've deleted the site, it is still active.
I've started 'fresh' 3 times. I have never had a problem linking a site to a URL, or Muse to a URL for updating. I'm frustrated and flabergasted. Now I'm at the mercy of the ******* COMMUNITY to get help with something ADOBE's malfunction/ dysfunctional product caused?!?! W T F .
How do I resolve this issue?

The best place to go for immediate support is Live Chat at <http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=muse&topic=using-my-product-or-service> and click on "I still need help…" and then "Chat now".
The best place to tap into a large group with very deep and broad experience using, developing and supporting Muse is here on the forum. Those active of the forum include fellow Muse users and members of the Muse Technical Support and Product Development Teams.
What specifically are you attempting that's failing? FTP Upload? Publish? Or something else? Can you provide a screenshot of what error(s) you're encountering so we can better understand how we can help? What's the URL for your site? Thanks.

Time machine has losing contact with my external drive, connected via a USB port.

Recently my Time Machine program has begun losing contact with my external drive, connected via a USB port. When I attempt to open Time Machine, it indicates there is no external hard drive. When I click on "setting up time machine" it opens airport utility. I've tried rebooting, run disk utility repairs for both hard discs, pulled and reconnected the USB cable, even completely shut down the system. Eventually the two re-establish contact, but I'm not certain what I've done that causes this. The lost contact appears to happen during the weekends. The external hard drive is a MJaxtor OneTouch 4. What should I be doing to solve this problem once and for all?

I use a little app named EasyFind - free at the App Store. It will allow you to search individual volumes or all volumes.
Download it and see if it will help.

When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via the minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
The solution was as follows for me anyway...
Go to your Finder
Choose the Go Menu
Choose Computer
Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
Choose your "Library" Folder
Choose the "Preferences" Folder
There should be a folder called "Audio"
Move that whole folder to the trash
Empty the Trash
Restart from the Apple Menu
When you are back up and running;
     Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
     Choose Sound
      In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
      Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!

HT6114 Does the 10.9.2 update fix the issue on 2011 macs where projectors with HDMI are not recognized via thunderbolt adapter?

Hi Mac,
Does the 10.9.2 update fix the issue on 2011 macs where projectors with HDMI are not recognized via thunderbolt adapter?
Thanks in advance,

So to be clear, this issue occurs on any input with the Denon Receiver. Occurs from both HDMI out and MiniDisplay Port out. Goes away when we reinstall the OS and update it to 10.9.2. Comes back as soon as we update to 10.9.3.

Have you been able to use the Mac Mini directly attached to the plasma/LCD/projector with out going through the Denon AVR? Even with 10.9.3 installed?
I have a Pioneer AVR and I have the Mac attached via a HDMI to HDMI and all is working for me. Can your Denon do some upscaling? Some AVR, like my VSX-53 can change the scaling of the input video. Meaning if I still had my Apple TV 2 which outputs 720P only, can be upscaled in my AVR to 1080i or 1080P or even 24fps. Heck, I could even plug in an old style Red, White, Yellow cable and upscale it to 1080P and output it HDMI.
I am wondering if your Denon is able to do that and it might be set wrong. Check the owners manual for such settings. Even the plasma/LCD/project could be doing the upscaling too. So check that too.

iPhone contacts: file transfer to Windows 7 via USB-cable
My iPhone can communicate with the computer only via USB-cable (no mobile data, no bluetooth, no internet, no outlook). As I want to get the phone to the "doctor" I want to save specifically my contact data and calendar details on the computer (OS: Windows 7). How can I solve this task? I will appreciate your valuable information, thanks.

Using the iPhone, the USB cable, iTunes and Windows Contacts, sync the iPhone contacts to Windows Contacts. That will save them there. They are also included in the iPhone backup made in iTunes, and if you use iCloud.
I'm sorry, I missed the calendar part the first time I looked. For calendar, you need a supported application on the computer (Outlook) or if you use iCloud, you can use the iCloud contacts and calendar app to sync.

Some external ones do not work with the Mac's although most do. There are some driver compadibility issues with Mavericks, so I would wait for an update.

My WD lost contact with my snow leopard program mac desk top I need to know how to reconnect

My Western Digital Time Machine stopped backing up and when I try to locate the issue the message is cant find the back up disk .... how do I fix

There may be ways of retrieving the data, but you coul try a couple of other things just before giving up on the drive.
1. Do you have an alternative USB or Firewire cable you could try (depending how it's connected to your Mac).
2. Does the WD external disk allow connections via both Firewire and USB (mine does)?. If so, if connected via USB try connecting using Firewire instead - and vice versa.
3. Do you have any other devices - USB stick, Printers, etc - that you could plug into where the WD is normally connected. Do they still work? If they do, it would suggest that the ports are OK and the issue is with the WD.
If all this points to confirming the WD has failed I guess you need to get a replacement drive and start over with TIme Machine.

Problem with HP Color LaserJet 2840

Hey guys, first post here woot woot haha
Now to business
I have a macbook with osx 10.4.11, and an HP Color LaserJet 2840. I can't get it to print through USB.
This guy on the HP forum had the exact same problem

The thing is, I can't call Apple like the guy on the HP forum did. I need your help to solve my problem!!
Thanks a lot, and take care!!! ---Arthur

Hi Arthur, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Sometimes you need to habd uninstall hp drivers, but Might try these two...
Mac OS X: About the Reset Printing System feature ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341?viewlocale=en_US
Might try Printer Setup Repair 5.1...
http://www.fixamac.net/software/index.html
Do this before & after any install...
Safe Boot. One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
Reboot.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
