Network connection to Deskjet 3050A keeps dropping out for a few seconds

Every few minutes (sometimes only a couple of minutes, sometimes a fair bit longer) an alert pops up in the Notification area of my Windows 7 computer telling me that "Scan to computer is no longer activated. The network connection has been lost" (at least I think those are the exact words - it is only onscreen for a few seconds at a time). Scanning and printing appears to work fine otherwise *except* that I cannot print large document files (e.g. photos), because printing stops when the network connection is lost and, even though the connection appears to come back up again almost immediately, does not appear to carry on where it left off.
I think I've tried all the "standard" advice - i.e. remove and reinstall the HP software and drivers, checked for updates, given the printer a static IP address, made sure the wireless channel is well away from any others nearby, printer (and PC) close to router (and signal strength good), all to no avail.
Any suggestions where to look next? I've had the same Wi-Fi network in my house for a few years now and no problems apparent.

Hi Roymondo,
What is the brand and model of your router?
Try changing the channel of the router to 11, or change the encryption to WPA.

Herculean,
It is a Sky badged Netgear router. Can't tell the model, sorry. It is already on Ch11 (advice elsewhere on this site is to use Ch1 or Ch11). I'll maybe try changing to WPA - but with various PCs, phones and iPads already accessing the network, I may just leave it until the weekend, when I will have a bit more time to spend on it.

Audio briefly drops out for a few seconds

I about half way through a recorded Keynote presentation, the narration audio drops out (goes blank) for a few seconds. It doesn't affect timing.
I've checked the narration file and it's just fine. Narration was done in Garageband. I've re-recorded the presentation again, and it drops out at exactly the same place. The narration was done in one step, so it's not a problem with the method in Garageband.
Keynote 9, v 5.3. 27" iMac, OSX 10.8.5, 16Gb Ram.
Any ideas of how to solve it?
Many thanks,
Bill

Unfortunately there's no fix for this problem that plagues Classic since release. Considering that a new generation appeared I guess we have no reason to expect a fix anymore.
I also have the problem and it makes the iPod Classic less desirable to be used as a music player than a generic $10 (no name) usb stick.

MacBook keeps blacking out for a few seconds

I have a weird new problem. It started blacking out (I thought it had switched itself off but it hasn't, it comes right back as it was after a few seconds) around every half hour or so. But now, just a few days after the problem began, it is blacking out every few minutes. Luckily it comes right back on and I don't lose anything, but it is annoying and certainly not right! Any ideas what this could be related to and how to fix it?

It sounds like it is either the inverter cable or the inverter board. Probably the latter. You can find repair guides, parts, and tools on ifixit.com. If your computer is under warranty, take it to an Apple store and have them fix it.

Audio drops out for about 2 seconds after about 2 hours

Hey folks....I've been renting HD movies, and I've noticed a bit of a pattern. Three times now, at some point just after about two hours the audio drops out for about two seconds. It's not exactly the same time - on one movie it was at 2:02:26 and another it was at 2:04:18. It's only two seconds, so it's really of no consequence. Just now it was during the closing credits (the music). Before, it was that scene in Batman where the two ferries are stalled on the river.
Of course, I would rewind to make sure. I use the optical out.
Anyone else notice this?

Do a hard reset. Hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

My power just went out for a few seconds- is there any way to restore the document I was working on?

Screen blacks out for a few seconds occassionally

Sometimes my screen blacks out for a few seconds, then comes back on again. I have an original Titanium powerbook. Is this a warning signal of worse to come? I know I should replace the computer soon, but it's working just fine for now. I just don't want it to die before I've moved on to a new machine.

Hi Julie,
Obviously no one can predict with certainty what the future will bring, but if I were in your shoes, I would certainly think there was worse to come.
Many things could be causing this, but it sounds like a short circuit or bad connection, possibly with the display cables running through the hinges, or where they connect to the logic board. It could also be a sign of the display dying, though they usually just get dimmer and dimmer or simply die.
Does the "blinking" correspond to any movement of the PB?

Hi i have a macbook pro retina 15 inch mid-2012, my speakers occasionally fizzle out for a few seconds and then return to normal. Do you know what this could be?

Ver 10.0.1. Entire screen blacks out for a few seconds when scrolling.

I recently updated to Reader X 10.0.1. Now when I scroll through a large document my entire screen blacks out for a few seconds. So far it has recovered. I get an error message saying that the NVidia nView driver (ver. 135.50) has stopped responding. I am running Windows 7 Pro on an HP Laptop, feeding to a large Samsung monitor. Never happened prior to this update. Any fixes/ideas?

HT1695 I have an iPhone5, when at home I can connect to my bt WiFi but it drops out after a few seconds, I Amon iOS 6.0.1

I Have an iPhone5 so has my wife, when we connect to Wifi, any wifi, home work or anywhere, it drops out after about 10 seconds, any ideas welcome

I have three suggestions for you (try them in order):
Go to Settings on your iPhone 5, General, Reset (all the way at the bottom), and try "Reset Network Settings".
Turn off your router and modem, wait about 5-10 minutes, then turn on your modem and router respectively.
Call Apple Support. Chances are they'll be able to give you the best support since they know their phone and the problems they've been called about prior to yours. Make sure you have some of your router information ready for them when the time comes.

Why does my keyboard controller keep cutting out after a few seconds?

I Have an M-Audio controller. It has worked fine before. When I record a software instrument track, It works fine for a few measures, then it stops working. the music continues to play, but my keyboard just doesn't work. I unplug the usb cable and plug it back in. Then It works again for a few seconds and again stops working. What could cause this?

Audio cuts out for a few seconds

Hi,
I'm not sure if anyone is experiencing this but it happens to me all the time and it's so so annoying.
When playingback the timeline on CS6 the audio cuts out at random places and then it comes back, then it goes again for a few seconds then back again,..while video keeps on playing.....this is just random and it can happen as soon as you press play or after a few seconds and it happens when audio is stereo, mono, mp3,wav,aif, you name it.
Also, it happens regardless of playback quality or timeline render status (red, yellow or green). My computer is quite fast + 24gb RAM so I dont think the PC is a problem, It also happens on a different computer within our studio.
Needless to say that editing under these circumstances is becoming impossible/frustrating and I'm even considering finding other software to edit with! I've found others with this same problem at cretive cow http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/935424
If anyone from Adobe reads this, please help!!!
thanks in advance

Macbook Pro Retina blacks out for a few seconds at a time

I have a new (2-3 weeks) Macbook Pro 13" retina display. A few times since I've had it, the screen went black for about 10 seconds and then came back. Any idea what's up with this? Is this something to return the machine for, or is a software issue? Has anyone else had this happen?
Thanks!
Stacey

Wireless Internet keeps cutting out for a few minutes

Hi,
I have a WRT160N router using DSL and PPPoE, and my internet continually cuts out at most every 15 minutes or at the least once an hour. I thought it had something to do with security so I changed from WPA to WEP but that didn't do the trick. It is almost as if it has to restart itself but that shouldnt happen. What can I do to fix this issue.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hello
To get a better handle on the problem, connect at least one computer to the router using an Ethernet cable. This can help isolate the problem further.
You can pretty much connect as many devices to the wireless side as you wish. The only problem you might encounter if you connect a large number of machines on the wireless side is lack of bandwidth. I can't imagine 5-6 machines on a wireless network would be a problem, unless one or two of them attempts a large file transfer. Even then, I would expect the wireless to be slow - not down.
What version of firmware is in your WRT160N? How long have you had your router, and has it worked properly in the past?
