Photosmart 309a stopped working after unplugged for several hours

The printer is about 6 months old and my PC detected it wirelessly immediely, out of the box. But for some reason now the radio on the printer cannot find my wireless network. I have used this printer, wirelessly, from day 1 as part of my home office (I work from home a lot). I unplugged the printer today--to move the furniture so I could paint my office. When I was done I plugged the printer back in but printing failed immediately thereafter. The only thing I did was unplug the printer. My wireless router remained plugged in and my work laptop, with uses the wireless network, continues to show a strong signal.
I contacted HP online chat earlier this evening and they had me do a reinitialization (#,6 after unplugging for 20 seconds). That did nothing to help the problem.
I have also uninstalled the printer and reinstalled the printer drivers -- still nothing! I am running Vista 64 home premium.
Both the radio and bluetooth lights are lit on the front of the printer.
The printer does work if I connect it to my pc via a usb cable.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

It sounds like it never even really starts the process by finding a list of wireless networks to choose from. Is the wireless radio on (usually a blue light)? If so, run a Wireless Network Test from the front panel of the printer to find out the radio's status. It may have failed. Let me know what it says.
While you are messing with this stuff I would highly recommend not using WEP. It is no longer secure (freeware from the web can break it in about 10 minutes). I recommend WPA or WPA2 encryption. You can even set your own passphrase that you can remember (but make it strong - 13 characters or more, numbers and letters, upper and lower case).
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

IPod Touch 4G will not turn on even after charging for several hours.

My iPod Touch 4G will not power on. I have attempted to charge it for several hours but still wont turn on. I tried charging it through a wall outlet as well as plugging into computer and going into iTunes. But still wont turn on. Does anyone have any suggestions other than taking it into the Apple store? (already have an appt scheduled).

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My linksys E1200 stop working when unused for many hours or days...

Hi!
I'm really deceive by my Linksys E1200... If I dont use internet for few days, internet stop working (tablet, computer, cellphone, etc...). Even with my old computer directly connected to the router with a cable. To make it work again, I need to unplug and replug the power cable of the E1200 ... I'm tired of that!!!!
I'm correctly updated (2.0.06) If you can't help me I will change the router and It will not a Sisco product...
I found this comment on an other thread and I really think I'm experiencing the same issue. :
Re: Linksys E1200 - Internet Stops Working
10-22-201311:43 AM
I've seen the same problem with the E1200. It was issued to my by my cable company (RCN) and I need to power cycle it every few days.
I think it has something to do with dhcp renumbering or renewal, but not sure.
I updated to 2.0.06 but that didn't help.
I'm just going to switch to a different router.

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
Is ISP Modem/Service using Dynamic or Static WAN IP addressing?
What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6 is recommended.
Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask.
For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.
If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm and http://cognitiveanomalies.com/cisco-nat-how-nat-works/. If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ. Also check the routers DHCP IP address maybe conflicting with the ISP modems IP address of 192.168.0.1. Check to see if this is the same on the ISP modem, and if modem can't be bridged, change the DIR router to 192.168.1.1 or .0.254.
I recommend that you have your ISP check the cabling going to the ISP modem, check signal levels going to the ISP modem. For cable Internet, RG-6 coaxial cable is needed, not RG-59. Check for t.v. line splitters and remove them as they can introduce noise on the line and lower the signal going to the ISP modem. Connecting to the ISP modem could result in a false positive as the signal to the modem could be just enough to that point then adding on a router, could see problems. The router operation is dependent upon getting good data flow from the ISP modem and the modem is dependent upon getting good signal from the ISP Service.

HT4623 I tried to update my iTunes tonight....waited and now it says something is corrupt?? I also tried to update my iPad and it didn't work after waiting for 4 hours for that one. I need a remote access and John Whitaker is the one I want to do this f

What is going on with my iPad update. I waited for four hours letting it "update" and after the alloted time, it tells me that I needed to update my iTunes first. After doing that, I can't even get into my iTunes. It says a file is corrupt. This is making me less and less impressed with these updates. I have trouble 80% of the time.

What iPad model and what iOS is it currently running? Are you trying to update the iOS via wifi or connected to your computer?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

HP photosmart printer stopped working after 10.4.9 update - Genericclass

We have an old hp photosmart 1218 that has been printing from our iMac for the last 6 months. I wanted to update the drivers (first mistake) due to some color problems which I did right around the same time that the software updated to 10.4.9. Now it won't print and we get GenericClass: waiting for device. We have spent 3 days trying everything that we could find on the boards. It seems many folks have problems with HP drivers particularly during an OS update. Of course Apple won't support us since the printer is old, and HP says that it isn't supported. But it worked on 10.4.8!
Here are the references to everything we've tried:
1. Printer is setup via the Options/More Printers button so it does have a URI
2. Tried killing the HP Communications process - interesting effect - the system would pick a random page, say it was completed and finish the job. http://software-robotics.com/graphic-design-prepress/viewtopic.php?t=727
No printout, however.
3. Tried opening the printer setup utility with Rosetta per spybrook's advice at: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=327725&start=15&tstart=0 Still get the genericclass error.
4. Tried moving the printer to a PC and print through the network but that is another headache altogether so nevermind that!
5. Deleted everything that said HP or photosmart and uninstalled numerous times.
We are at wits end and since I did this on my husband's work computer, I am way in the dog house! Any further advice would be appreciated. Oh, and several glasses of wine have also be tried to no avail, though we didn't care nearly as much afterward!

iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

For the benefit of all those old HP printer users, I will list what I did that seemed to fix my problem. I wish it were more scientific to tell you exactly, but after 40 hours or so of messing with this, I was getting sloppy and losing hope. We actually went out looking at new printers today....
But, tonight, from a fresh reboot, I left the HP drivers on the Mac (accidentally). I downloaded both SP Ghostscript 7.07.1 and the hpijs-foomatic package found at http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs When I went to set up the printer, my Photosmart was in the list on the setup utility for the first time. I had great hope.... but then received the genericclass hang when printing again. sigh. I logged in and out, but still the same hang.
But, I noticed that the HP drivers were still installed and thought that maybe there was a conflict between the two so I tried the HP unstaller but it hung. So I reinstalled the HP drivers, then noticed there was an update so I downloaded it and walked through the setup with the photosmart again. My 1218 printer was now on the More Printers list (without having to hold down Options Advanced sequence) so I selected it, tried a print run, and voila! It worked.
I'm not sure which combination worked whether the update from HP, the generic linux drivers, or both, but I don't dare touch it now.
Thanks, Greg, for your suggestions!

DCN Notification stops working after 10 to 12 hour in test environment

Hi
We are using Oracle 11G and Java 5 (ojdbc5.jar).
We are using Oracle database change notification (DatabaseChangeRegistration) in java code to refresh the table cache (records of tables are stored in java hashtable for caching) in app server. The same code is working fine in production and was working fine in the test environment.
But from past one month we are facing issues in with our four application servers stop receiving the notification at the same time from the database, and we need to restart all the four application servers at the same time.
We are trying to find out if this issue is happening due to oracle database of some thing getting wrong with the java DatabaseChangeRegistration thread.
One more scenario is noticed if we are not restarting the app servers for almost one hour then this functionality start working again automatically, but some time it took more than hour too to get working without restart of the app servers.
We are using following code to register the Database change notification,
Properties prop = new Properties();
          prop.setProperty(OracleConnection.DCN_QUERY_CHANGE_NOTIFICATION,"false");
          prop.setProperty(OracleConnection.DCN_IGNORE_DELETEOP,"true");
cr = ((OracleConnection) ((WrappedConnection)(((WrappedConnection)conn).getUnderlyingConnection())).getUnderlyingConnection()).registerDatabaseChangeNotification(prop);
               // Add the call back method to the oracle server for the jdbc layer
               logger.info("Adding DCN Listener");
               dcnList = new DCNListener(this);
          dcr.addListener(dcnList);
          // second step: add objects in the registration:
               logger.info("Add Object in the registration");
          stmt = ((WrappedConnection)(((WrappedConnection)conn).getUnderlyingConnection())).getUnderlyingConnection().createStatement();
          // associate the statement with the registration:
               logger.info("Associate the statement with the registration");
          ((OracleStatement)stmt).setDatabaseChangeRegistration(dcr);
          logger.info("Execute registered SQL : "+REGISTERED_SQL);
          rs = stmt.executeQuery(REGISTERED_SQL);

Hi
We are printing the DCN status and registration id in app server log, and it says that registration id is active, and also checked the table USER_CHANGE_NOTIFICATION_REGS.
App server log, after during this issue :
Getting DCN Status --------
DCN RegistrationId (dcr.getRegistrationId()) : 71390
DCN State (dcr.getState()) : ACTIVE
Records from the table :
REGID REGFLAGS CALLBACK OPERATIONS_FILTER CHANGELAG TIMEOUT TABLE_NAME
71390 0 net8://(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=IP_ADDRESS)(PORT=XXXX))?PR=0 6 0 4294967295 dcn_queue_table
The registration id at client and at the database matches during this issue and at client log it prints this registration id as ACTIVE during the issue.
According to our logic we read the newly inserted data from table "dcn_queue_table", through select query and and delete the records after the success of read operation .
Hence if there is any record in table dcn_queue_table, then it is an issue for us.
Now during the issue there were records in table, app server didn't receive and notification through the DCN listner thread . Now after 15 min i had updated new record in our application form, and now after 15 min, after the insertion of the new record the notification starts working now for this same DCN RegistrationId 71390.
Please suggest if it look like the issue with app server code that is handling this DatabaseChangeRegistration logic, and not an issue with the database ?

Thunderbird cannot open attachment after idle for several hours on Windows Terminal Server 2008 R2 Enterprise

Hi Darrkon,
I suggest checking the status of the HealthMailbox on each of servers.
Also try to re-create the mailbox. You can safely delete and recreate health mailboxes.
Be aware that any local Managed Availability probes that are using the these mailboxes will fail until the Microsoft Exchange Health Manager is restarted. Once that service is restarted, it will recreate any mailboxes that it needs.

Network disconnects after Mac mini is running for several hours but a reboot fixes it

i have updated my Mac mini to Yosemite but now it has a networking problem after running for several hours . Trying to open a webpage in Safari or chrome doesn't work, the remote site appears to disconnect. Mail is not downloaded and email already downloaded has no images when I display them. Interestingly DNS resolution is working nslookup finds the IP but telnet to a web site on port 80 gets an instant disconnect.
THe connection ion is wired into a hub and the ISP connection is fine from the other computers on our home network.
I am now rather perplexed how to fix this without constantly rebooting the Mac which just goes against the grain.

Hi loseph94,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

Extensions like Ghostery, WOT or AdBlock stop working after two or three times. Restarting the webpage in a new tab the extensions will work again for several times and then stop again. Has anybody an explanation or a workaround for this bug in Safari 5?

Remove the extensions, redownload Safari, reload the extensions.

Touch-pad stop working after several hours using the laptop

i have bought a new lenovo m30-70 and the touch-pad freezing after working several hours with the laptop.the driver is elan pointing device.after restarting the laptop it works again for several hours normally and then again the touchpad stops working. i tried to install the driver again but it stays the same.

Hi Kiril87,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with the touchpad in your M30-70 laptop.
Try to boot the system to safe mode and check for the issue, also check the issue in different applications. Try to uninstall the driver an check with windows basic drivers.
If still the issue persists try to reinstall the operating system and check for the issue, before reinstalling the operating system please take a data backup.
Also try to connect the external mouse and check for the issue.
Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."
