My hp c4680 inadvertently beeps several times in sequence and goes to a Support screen.

I have a HP c4600 running on Windows 7 64-bit.
When I turn on the printer, it beeps several times and the screen goes blank, then eventually settles into its normal on mode.
It has started inadvertently beeping and going offline, toggling through some system screens, usually settling on a Support screen.  It usually stays there for a few minutes and then goes back to normal ready mode.
When printing, it often aborts printing-randomly- in the print sequence.  It may be on the first page, it may be on another page.
It will not color copy from the button on the printer-it says it is copying, but it just does not do anything.  
When scanning, the scanning window on the computer says that another program has control over the device, but I have rebooted and not opened anything and it still shows this.
I'm looking for a solution or adivce to send the thing to the morgue.

Reset the PRAM
Reinstall the operating system from the dvd (you will not loose your data)

  • Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book.  Cannot turn these off.  They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used.  How to diagnose this

    Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book.  Cannot turn these off.  They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used.  How to diagnose this?

    First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application.
    Step 1
    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.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • MacBook  Pro screen glitches out, gray lines appear on it then my computer freezes and must be restarted sometimes it will beep 3 times when restarting and other times it won't. Is this a virus?

    I have a MacBook Pro running mavericks. Sometimes the screen glitches out, gray lines appear on it then my computer freezes and must be restarted sometimes it will beep 3 times when restarting and other times it won't. Is this a virus, software issue, water damage, etc? An error message usually appears after being restarted. It does it all the time please help.

    No Virus. You have a Hardware Problem. 3 Beeps means a RAM problem. You could try Reseating the RAM is its sockets.
    But that wouldn't necessarily cause the screen to Glitch Out, as you say.

  • Entered wrong password several times...and now on my i phone it says:  phone is disabled...connect to i tunes.

    entered wrong password on my i phone several times...and now it says:  i phone is disabled...connect to in tunes.

    Do as it says. You will have to restore the phone as new (no backup) to get rid of the passcode and  use the phone again.   You'll aslo have to use the computer you synced the phone before, or you'll still need the passcode.
    BTW, how do you "forget" a passcode when you have to use it several times a day, every day?

    my home button will not work properly... I have to hold it down several times for it to go to the home screen

    I would try a restore just to see if it could be something software related, but if that doesn't work I would recommend taking to an Apple Store to see if it is a serious hardware issue and if it is, assuming you're in warranty, then they would be able to replace your phone.

    Hi, i cannot shut down my mac, and there is several times lagging, hanging, and auto restart. what should I do ?

    Hold the power button till it shuts off (10 seconds or so)
    Then try a SMC reset:

    Follow directions for a battery you should not remove yourself.
    You can also try a pram reset, which has a link at the bottom of the page of the first link above.

  • My phone is frozen and I can't get it to restore it is stuck with the iTunes logo and plug with the arrow. I have tried several times to restore and nothing happens.

    My I phone is frozen and I can't get it to work. I have tried to restore it several times and nothing happens. All it does is show the iTunes logo with the plug and arrow. Is there anything I can do to get it to work I am in sales and need my phone. The closest Apple store is 45 minutes away
    and I have appointments all day tomorrow.
    Thanks in advance.

    Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Then you can restore your phone:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • Ran installation asst. several times for XI and at the end of the download, nothing happened. No prompt for where to install the trial program.  Don't know why. No error msg. NADA. This is most annoying!

    RAn install asst. for XI several times.  Download completedwith no error msgs.  No promp for where TI install trial.  Nothing!
    now what?  I think there is a major flaw with this utility?  I used to beta test for Microsoft so am no computer novice. 
    I need answeres
    THank you

    Listen up, Bill!
    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate and Internet Explorer version 11 (latest) –
    I used to beta test for Microsoft (among a plethora of software developers)
    and am no stranger to installing software. Did it all the time (at home and
    at work).
    The Acrobat Install assistant leaves a lot to be desired, I’m afraid.  The
    last time I ran it from the web site on my PC, it asked where to install and
    the default is PROGRAM FILES.  What it was saving to that location was the
    actual install assistant – NOT the trial version of Acrobat XI – therein
    lies the difference.
    Will try your suggestion, however, and thanks for the link.

  • Why does CC now sign out several times a day and applications revert to trial mode almost instantly?

    Since the last update my Creative Cloud connection signs itself out several times a day. Applications continuously revert to trial mode and need to be relicensed. I cannot stress how annoying it is to be reading a PDF only for Acrobat to close and then be invited to start my "trial". Whilst this doesn't actually stop my use of the Adobe applications it is very disruptive to my normal work flow. What I struggle to understand is why the appliactions so quickly revert to trial mode. Surely even if the CC connection is lost they should remain licensed for days?
    Running Windows 7 and the main apps I use are Illustrator CS6, Illustrator CC, Photoshop CS6, Photoshop CC & Acrobat XI Pro.

    Jo: hello
    Jagadish: Hi Jo .
    Jo: Since I last updated Photoshop some weeks ago, connection signs itself out several times a day. Applications continuously revert to trial mode and need to be re-licensed.
    Jo: I can see this was mentioned in a forum a couple of years ago but can't see there was a definate solution
    Jo: I spoke to someone here yesterday, they had me sign out of creative cloud and back in, but that froze my computer, as all adobe programs do at the moment, and the chat window disappeared
    Jo: I have tried the things suggested on this page https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unable-login-creative-cloud-248.html
    Jo: except for Download the IMSLib Replacer, because the link is broken
    Jo: which i mentioned yesterday, but it would appear it has not been fixed
    Jagadish: I understand that you wish to activate software .
    Jo Wickham: Oh my gosh no
