My 5440 deskjet continually feeds in sheets of paper, one at a time and won't print

I have had a 5440 deskjet print which has worked well for years.This week it suddenly stopped working. When I go to print, it sucks a piece of paper in more than halfway and then says "paper jam or misfeed". If I hit the arrow key, the paper comes out with no issue, and then it sucks the next sheet in to the same point and errors again. The interesting thing is that it doesn't even try to print things at the top of the page (or anywhere).

C3135 All-In One: When I turn it on, it feeds 1 sheet of paper half-way through and then stops.

C3135 All-In One: When I turn it on, it feeds 1 sheet of paper half-way through and then stops.
Even does this when not connected to the PC. I have tried a reset.

I don't know of one place JUST for this. I usually step people thru it on the WIndows forums so 1) they don't fudge up things even more and 2) sometimes windows wants to be a pain and stuff. But You can go here and roll down to "Format in windows" http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=361771
There are cases where even in disk mode it will not show, or only show for a second in windows under "My Computer". And in these cases you have to open task manager (Hold altctrldel all together to open it) goto the "Process tab", highlight "iPOdservice.exe" and hit end process. If you have to do this, you will have to restart windows when its done formatting so the "ipodservice.exe" is started again in the background and you can use the ipod updater to restore it

2007 iMac freezes up, rainbow wheel appears when this happens. I know the computer is starting to get old but I can't afford a new one at this time and would love to continue using my Mac, but it's frustrating. Would a fresh install or OS upgrade resolve?

My circa 2007 iMac freezes up, and rainbow wheel appears when this happens. I know the computer is starting to get old but I can't afford a new one at this time and would love to continue using my Mac, but it's frustrating. Most of the time I ONLY have 1 thing open at a time, and keep my tabs down to a minimum. I bought this to do film editing on but with it acting like this I cannot do that. I know I need a ram upgrade (currently running 2 gb) and my OS is old, 10.5.8, but I think even with it being a bit outdated it should run better than this. Would a fresh install or OS upgrade resolve this? Or any other suggestions to keep this clunker chugging along for a little while longer?

How full is the hard drive?
Do you run any virus software or hard drive "cleaner" software like MacKeeper?
If your model is from 2007 you can install up to 6 GBs of RAM.
2 GBs is the barest of minimum RAM for OS X to run on.
Especially if doing video work. You simply do not have sufficient RAM.
Also OS X 10.5.8 Leopard support ended around 2009.
You could update to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, at least.
It is available on disc from the Apple store for U.S. $19.99.
I Would seriously upgrade your iMac's RAM to the max. 6 GBs before doing this.
Reliable Mac RAM can be purchase from online Mac RAM source Crucial memory or OWC ( also known as macsales).

Well, you don't have to write down anything. Just click on the message and copy it. Then paste it here, or in a text editor (eg, TextEdit). And you can enter a string like "Audio CD" (w/o the quote marks) in the filter and see only messages containing it.
mds[71]: (Error) Server: Failed to register path "/Volumes/Audio CD"
That's the metadata server, used by Spotlight. AFAIK, Spotlight does not index audio CDs, so what is this about? I don't know. Maybe it's the cause of what you observe; or maybe it's another symptom. Thinking again of the network issue… have you maybe installed some third-party software related to both Spotlight and the network (Searchlight perhaps)?

M1522nf feeds one bland page before and after each printing.

My HP m1522nf will feed one bland page before and after each printing.

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

Feeds two sheets of paper

My pro 8600 print head failed so purchased a pro 8630 today. Using xerox digital carbonless copy paper the printer draws two sheets each time and makes 1 off-center print. This is the same paper I've used for years in my 8600. It feeds and prints with no problem on my HP Office jet 100 mobile printer. Misprints using either tray of the 8630. Printing with standard copy paper is no problem.

Update: Now find that printer is occasionally misfeeding plain copy paper, must be printer malfunction and not the oaper.

Will videos/movies play continuously on the iPod or only one at a time?

I have 80g iPod Classic and wish it could play videos continuously like it can play songs. Nothing in the pdf manual about it. Nothing in iTunes prefs about it. Nothing in iPod settings about it. I know if I make a playlist of videos in iTunes, iTunes can/will play the entire playlist before it stops. I dragged the playlist to the iPod, but there it plays one video and stops. Question: can it be done or can't it, and if so, HOW?

IT CAN BE DONE! I went to the linked thread
(http://www.podcentral.ph/forum/showthread.php?t=3801)
and tried this, which works: in iTunes create a playlist of videos/movies; select all; choose Get Info from the File menu (yes to the alert); at the bottom of the window (titled "Multiple Item Information") toggle the "Skip When Shuffling" to "No". Then you can drag the playlist to your iPod's newly created playlist box. P.S.: Of 11 videos, 2 were rejected for not being able to be played "on this iPod", even though they already had played on it hours before, even though I had to convert many files so they could be "played on this iPod". "In any complex system blah blah will eventually blah blah.

HT1229 my iphoto library continues to be unreadable I have rebuilt it 4 times and the same thing happens. Suggestions ?

My iphoto library keeps becoming unreadable I have rebuilt it 4 times the same thing keeps happening.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

HP 5440 deskjet resume light comes on, but printer won't print

I have a hp deskjet 5440 photo printer, but as of a day or so ago, it won't print. I've re-downloaded the driver, bought a new usb cable, checked all the things on the troubleshooting page that comes up when the print job finally gives me an error. When I turn the printer off and back on, the resume button comes on and flashes until I push it, but other than that I get no response from the printer. My computer is running Windows XP, but I also hooked it up to my laptop which is running Windows 7, and it won't work there either.
Any ideas on something else to try?

Continuous feed rolodex cards

Can anyone out there help me?????
I typed my entire rolodex into my Publisher software intending to print it on some continuous feed rolodex cards that I already had. However, I seem to only be able to print one at a time. How do I set up the printer ro recognize a continuous fed paper feed?

Hi cb121
Probably because they are Word template files.
If you have Word open and resave them as .doc files.
If you don't have Word use NeoOffice or Open Office (both are free).
Try simply renaming the extension to .doc and see if that works.

PhotoSmart 2710 Printer Feeder cannot handle more than one page at a time

1. Product Name and Number -> Photosmart 2710 Wireless All in One Printer
2. Operating System installed (if applicable) -> OSX 10.6 / 10.7
3. Error message (if any) -> None
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred -> None
My printer works fine except that the paper feeder has difficulty feeding more than one sheet at a time. When I put a stack of more than one sheet of paper in the feeder tray, the printer might successfully print one or two pages, but then pages will overlap (top of printed page is on one sheet, bottom on another or multiple sheets will be grabbed at the same time so only the first sheet gets printed and the others are blank.
I do mostly standard office paper printing so no real experience with heavier pages. I get my paper from Office Supply stores, like Staples, and brand does not seem to make a difference. Have had same experience with Store Brands, National paper company brands and have even used HP branded paper with same results.
I have no problems when I manually feed individual sheets to the printer So I have essentially a single sheet printer. Any help appreciated.
Thank You

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your response
Let me give the history - I started with an Apple Express being fed thru a D-Link EBTR 2310 cable Router from an RCA DCM315 Modem (Pure). Comcast service all the way.
Got the 1st generation TC in 2008 and merely replaced the Airport Express with the TC. Worked ok
A year or two ago I did try removing the modem and feeding the TC directly from the modem. Resulted in the same condition I have now - Continuous flashing amber on the TC. So I put the router back in the chain.
Some time later, at the recommendation of a Comcast rep, I replaced the router with (a Belkin F5D 5231) to see if speed and dropout problems would be improved. I thought it helped some at the time but now I am not so sure.
Last week I decided to see if a new modem would help with download speeds. So I got another pure cable modem (Motorola SB 6121- high on the Comcast recommended list).
Got up and running easily with Comcast help and with the modem connected directly to a computer.
Next I put the TC in the link and again could not get past the TC continuing to flash amber. Although I did get connected to the internet with this configuration I lost connection two both of my printers - one connected by USB and the other wirelessly to the TC. Again everything works fine when I put the Belkin router back in the system.
However with the router in there, the modem shows the downstream connection to be 10/100 ethernet speed. (Modem light changes color for indicating speeds.}
I have gone thru all of the combinations of powering down/ up, but all stays the same.
I can live with what I have but something still doesn’t seem right.
Thanks again
