Epson Workforce 845 will not print after IPad software upgraded

All worked well before I upgraded my Ipad2 software yesterday. No longer prints. Message when I press print says it is searching for an AirPrint printed, and finds none on my network. Nothing has changed except the software upgrade. hat must I do?

Thanks...other computers on the wireless network continue to work well. The Epson Workforce 845 is an approved printer on AirPrint. Trying to find a printer setup screen on the iPad without success. When I bought the new wireless printer, it worked right out of the box with the iPad.
I am tempted to restore the software to the original factory settings through iTunes but fear losing everything that has been added since I got it. A disclaimer on iTunes says I can back all up, and later reinstall after I reset to original factory settings, but I am skeptical. Any experience in this area?

CIFS AO down after software upgrade

Hi all,
i'm currently starting software upgrade procedure in my WAAS environment.
I'm upgrading from 4.1.5b to 4.2.3c
after rebooting my WAE's i'm having the following alarm:
Critical Alarms:
        Alarm ID                 Module/Submodule               Instance
   1 cifs_ao_down              wafs                         WAFS
Major Alarms:
None
Minor Alarms:

nkrwa222#
However even if i start the CIFS Accelerator the alarm still persists.
nkrwa222(config)#accelerator cifs ena

Enabled cifs accelerator
WARNING: Accelerator doesn't optimize the traffic until license is configured.
It takes up to 2 minutes to start the traffic optimization after the license is activated.
nkrwa222(config)#
nkrwa222(config)#
I'm running no application accelerator cause i'm using transport license. And so i do not really need CIFS AO however i need to clear the alarm especially on CM.
Any ideas how i can fix this?
thanks for your input

Dieter,
Correct, you can not enable any accelerators if you only have the Transport license.
I'd suggest you execute the following commands to see if the alarm clears.
pdi-7341-19(config)#no wafs edge enable
pdi-7341-19(config)#no wafs core enable
pdi-7341-19(config)#no accelerator cifs enable

1.1.4 Firmware with Software Upgrade: Am I Jailbroken?

OK. So my Touch is now running 1.1.4 Firmware with the Software Upgrade. According to MacRumours, I am now jailbroken:
http://www.macrumors.com/2008/02/26/apple-releases-firmware-1-1-4-for-iphone-and -ipod-touch/
Is this correct? And if so, does this mean I can run 3rd Party Apps NOW, without invalidating the warranty?

no you are not jailbroken. what i believe the article is saying is that if you were jailbroken prior to the update, you would then be 'un-jailbroken' after you updated. as for the third party apps, the article is speculating that this update will support third party apps....but we are not allowed to speculate in here...but i think that's what the article is saying

ASA5510-BUN-K9 software upgrade from 7.0(4)12 ??

I just purchased this firewall from govconnection.com and wondering about software upgrades. It has above ASA version software and ASDM 5.0(4) software.
It appears I need to somehow attain PICA and verification keys and whatnot - I've inquired with my seller to see if they can provide that -
but also curious if the newer version of software is desireable enough to jump through all these hoops? Or perhaps I'm missing some simpler method of updating software on this unit?

Hi,
Basically, if you just buy an ASA (or any Cisco box) without purchasing any support then you get what's called "warranty", which entitles you (usually) to 90 days of hardware support and software maintenance updates.
Unlike IOS, it's not too well documented what qualifies as a maintenance update on ASA but it's probably only the latest build of 7.0(4) if your box came with 7.0(4). Within 90 days the hardware replacement SLA is 10 days - after 90 days it's time & materials at Cisco's discretion.
The point I'm trying to make is that Cisco's warranty is rubbish - you're more or less forced into buying smartnet whether you like it or not (unless you're in the habit of discarding failed hardware and simply replacing with a handy spare..)
That said, smartnet has fantastic value, as follows:
1) new hardware delivered with or without an engineer (up to 24x7x2)
2) a license to install any and all software updates (for your purchased feature set)
3) Access to the TAC 24x7
Here's the full list:
http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/products/ps2978/c1592/cdccont_0900aecd8042b4d6.pdf
So, whenever you buy Cisco kit you should always be thinking about buying a smartnet contract (there are separate services to cover IPS devices, and software-only products like callmanager) unless you only want it for 90 days and you don't care about the 10 day warranty replacement SLA.
Finally, if you really don't want the hardware support, but you do want the software, then you can simply purchase the particular version you want for a one-off payment (but it won't be very cost-effective if you upgrade a lot - and a years smartnet contract might even be cheaper..)
HTH - plz rate if useful.
Andrew.

Why bother with the software upgrade BT ?

I've still got the old silver BTVision box, I've had it since launch which is quite a few years I can tell you !!. At the start the software was very dodgy, even watching TV had its problems. After some very overdue software upgrades the box now runs as sweet as a nut.
My question is, with the new HD Youview box on the horizon (which I will be getting day one), why bother upsetting the applecart ??. The old boxes are running fine so why introduce a new slow, buggy UI to a platform that is on its way out ?. What is BT trying to achieve here apart from forcing an upgrade on people that apparently doesnt provide any extra features and wipes all of your recordings ?.

If it's in use by non-beta testing customers, as it appears to be, then it is not in "testing mode". Can I stick with the old look please!
And yet you want multi-room. Which one cannot have on the WinCE platform as it has no flexibility. But the new platform will, eventually.

Warranty Serivce Upgrade - Which One

I am looking at the Warranty Service Upgrade and have a few questions.
1. Looks like the T61 come with a base warranty: 1 Year Depot/Express Warranty
a. What does this actually cover?
2. We are considering a 3 year full warranty: 3 Year EasyServ + 3 Year ThinkPad Protection for 1 Year EasyServ ThinkPad
a. What exactly is EasyServ?
b. What does 3 Year ThinkPad Protection for 1 Year EasyServ ThinkPad mean?
3. Is there a URL that describes in full the meaning of the warranties? At the moment, "help me decide" is not that helpful.

Thanks for your comments.
i've two questions.

Nokia 6700C Software Upgrade

I upgraded my Nokia 6700C last week using NSU to;
V13.20
28-07-10
RM-470
Ever since then the phone goes into standby camera mode overnight. The phone is in a case with the keys locked and it is not possible that the camera mode is accidentally being turned on.
Any ideas please what this could be? I've searched all the settings and can't see anything related and the phone is over 12 months old and has never done this prior to the software upgrade.
Is it a setting I can turn off or how do I go back to a previous software version please?

Hi first of all software upgrade cannot be downgraded. If you can't solve the problem then try to reinstall the software or just give it to Nokia Care. They'll charge some amount for this process if your phone is not under warranty.
Thank you.

N80 Software Upgrade

Last November I bought a N80 from Carphone Warehouse in the UK. Two days after puchase I returned to my home in the Canary Islands (Spain) and attempted to upgrade the software. My PC crashed leaving the N80 with a blank screen and inoperable. I took the phone to a Club Nokia dealer who informaed me that the UK warranty was void in the Canaries (part of Spain and the EU) and was a model only intended for the market in the USA and Israel and therefore could not be repaired under warranty.(It was the black version) I was then told it needed a new screen which would cost more than the phone! I took it to a second dealer via Phone House(same company as Carphone in the UK) and they told me the same thing. Eventually I posted the phone back to the Uk to a friend who took it to a local branch of Carphone and it was repaired under warranty (apparently only a software upgrade needed). I now have the phone back and it still has outdated software and I would like the upgrade as battery life is dreadful, but I am now very reluctant to do this via my PC after what happened last time!
Is the software download process reliable. MY PC has never crashed in this way before and I am concered that it was the N80 that caused the problem. Any advice please?
I was also concerned about the lack of support and help that I eceived from Nokia when I called them. They could only suggest that I flew back to the UK to get it repaired!
Barry

I don't recall anyone else complaining that NSU (the part of PC Suite that updates the phone software) crashes their PC, but it is always possible that your PC has some other software installed that is causing the problem.
If however, your only reason for wanting an upgrade is that you believe it will improve battery life, then I don't think I would risk the upgrade again: I don't recall anyone saying it made any difference. Having said that, there are many other reasons you might want the latest firmware.
Re the battery issue, here's my list of things you can do to save battery on the N80 - I guess the list will be pretty similar for all of the N- and E-series phones:
- turn off bluetooth when not in use
- set Network mode to GSM only
- set Wireless LAN Show Availability to Never
- set Sleep mode on
- reduce the screen brightness
- reduce the power saver time out time
- reduce the light time out time
Note that I have tried all of these and still my phone regularly runs out of battery after a mere 12 hours - but then I do use it a lot. The safest option is therefore "get chargers for work / home / car etc and possibly a spare battery".Message Edited by patc on 30-Mar-200712:29 PM

Software Upgrade Option not working

After I installed the Mac OS X Snow Leopard (V. 10.6) upgrade (previously I had the Mac OS X 10.5.4), the Software Upgrade option doesn't work anymore. Actually, the available upgrades are recognized when I choose Show Details in the first screen (itunes 9.0.1 and upgrade of Mac OS X to 10.6.1). But when I choose to Install Items, even though the License Agreement screens appear, I choose the Agree option and then it returns to the first screen (Hide/Show Details - Not Now - Next). It seems like the software install option enters into a loop and never starts the installation.
I appreciate if you can help me fixing this problem

Have your tried to install anything else without success? Are you using a non-standard keyboard. If yes to both, then Set your keyboard to the standard US layout if not already done. Then, delete this file: /users/username/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.HIToolbox. Next, log out and back in. Then try installing whatever you have been having problems with.

So what kind of hardware and software upgrades can i get to beef up my macbook?

i'm talking ugrade to eight gigs of RAM, dragon dictate, any video cards? i want this thing to last me for like 20 years. maybe boot camp it so i could run TOR on the windows side. and when you answer, please keep it simple cause i don't know TOO much about this stuff

The only upgradable hardware in a MBP is RAM and HDD/SSD. But neither upgrade done by you will void the warranty unless you are extremely clumsy and break something in the process ... but that is not very common.
Some even replace the optical drive with a second hard drive, but Apple frowns upon that and void call that system "out of warranty". But if your system is 5 years old and beyond any warranty, it s your call.
All else is soldered to the logic board.
2011/2012 MBPs can upgrde memory tpo 16 GB (although 16 GB memory is still $250). 8 GB is only $50, though.
BootCamp does not necessarily need more memory, since only one or the other is running at any time. But if you want to use Windes in a VM (virtual machine, such as VirtualBox, Parallels or VMWare Fusion) more memory is always better since both OSs will need memory.
Software upgrades are limited only by available packages, and come in a variety of types. You would need to specify software you want to use.
BUT
You said "last for 20 years". Several people have kept running applications designed fro the PPC (PowerPC) chipset, and which had a support software called "Rosetta" that run up through Snow Leoapard. Rosetta is now defunct in Lion and beyond. In short, software compatibility will likely fall off so eventually you will need to buy new software.

Phone not working after the software upgrade

I performed the software upgrade as indicated by the phone in the notifications.
One the phone rebooted, I proceeded to enter my email accounts and it froze on a white screen with a spinning wheel.
I rebooted and it continued to freeze.
I took the battery out, rebooted, still can't add email accounts. It freezes in the setting section. I actually can't change any settings.
If I reply to a text, the screen freezes black.
If I try to reply to an email, the screen says, "Could not display this message"
I have wiped it three times, powered off a billion times and still keeps freezing. The update has been nothing but grief.
Any advice??
