Photosmart 6100 keeps going idle or offline

I have a Photosmart C6100 printer attached to a wireless network.
I have Windows Vista Operating System.
Recntly, (the past 6 monhts) every time I shut down my PC, the printer goes offline.
When I reboot, I have to delete the printer and readd it as new to make it go back online.
What suggestions do you have to keep it online?

I found this from a different thread that might help - http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/7510-photosmart-printer-energy-mode/m-... I tried this and so far, it is working and has not lost its connection.

I have tried everything I can find online to correct this. Nothing works and all I can find online is dated 2008. Surely Apple has found a cure for this problem by now. This happened with my hp Photosmart Premium c309a as well. I thought it was a printer problem but It's happening now with the 7510 that is only a week old. And please, if you have a cure, don't explain in high tech computer language. I'm ok with the computer but not that up on high tech stuff. Thanks.

It is connected wirelessly. The other printer was connected with a USB. Getting it to print again---usually by just turning printer off and back on again. This usually results in getting 1 page printed. Then I have to do it again. I have deleted printer and reinstalled. I have changed IP from automatic to manual. I unplugged printer for a short time (1-2 minutes) and plugged back in. I have restarted both IMAC and printer after each process. This is really frustrating and time consuming, driving me nuts.

All of my mail accounts keep going and staying offline

Any ideas. I've talked to two others who this is also happening...

I have been having the same problem for about the past 2 months using mail 4.4 on OS 10.6.6. Its been working fine for a couple of years without a hitch until now. I have about 10 different email addresses all hosted on the same reseller server. Each time there is a timed 'get mail' various accounts go offline and then come back online later, sometimes after a minute or so, some after an hour.
A similar thing is also happening on my iphone4 and ipad2 - 'mail server....... not responding'. This also seems to randomly alternate between various accounts.
My ISP has looked into it and cant find a problem but I think that this is because they cant replicate the problem. They suggested it might be a router/network issue but the problem still happens regardless of wifi being switched off. I have tried a Telnet test and all seems Ok.
Very frustrating as I sometimes have to wait for over an hour for an email to come in that is urgent.

HP 8500A Plus - Keeps going offline.

An old problem but I still can't see a realistic solution on the net.
Keeps going offline - sometimes in the middle of a print run.
Turning Print Spooler off and on always cures it for a short while but this is inconvenient.
'Use Offilne' is NOT ticked. The offline message at the top of the outstanding documents list seeems to be different from and additional to the offline notice when offline is ticked.
I have given printer a fixed IP and told the router that this is a fixed IP. Checked they are the same.
When it is 'offline' it still has the correct IP address. And the router says it is connected.
This started several weeks ago. Since then I have completey changed the router and IP address range - for another reason. But its just the same problem.
Anyone solved this problem?
PS I do have a couple of non HP inks installed. Is this HP's revenge?

Hi lezzy,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you have been dealing with the 'printer offline' problem for a while and have exhausted all troubleshooting. Have you tried plugging in a USB to see if this makes a difference?
I would like you to run the HP Print and Scan Doctor- It was designed by HP to provide users with the troubleshooting and problem solving features needed to resolve many common problems experienced with HP print and scan products connected to Windows-based computers.
Does the PSDR find any errors, any software or drivers missing? Please let me know the outcome, I will watch for your reply.
Thanks,
HevnLgh

HT1515 why does my airport express keep going offline?

i use airport for air play but it keeps going into flashing amber light about every week. why?

I found on some non-Apple tech sites some interesting info. One guy was having the same exact issues and wrote a script to see what was going on between the Airport base station and the Airport Expresses. It appears that the two devices were having security verification issues and that is why the Airport Expresses get getting knocked offline. In other words, when they talk with each other they fail the security verification and the Airport Expresses go haywire.
So the solution is to turn off the security on both the Airport base station and the Airport Expresses through the Airport Utility. Then, on the Airport base station you check the option to create a closed network. In other words, your wi-fi network is now unprotected but it is not broadcasting to anyone that it is there. From then on, you will have to choose "other" on your laptops/iPads/iPhones/etc and type in your wi-fi network's name rather than just choosing your wi-fi network from a list of options.
I did this a few weeks back and I have had zero issues since the very moment I did the above steps. The network is 100% reliable and faster. No more rebooting. Is it a tad bit unprotected? Yes, but no one knows the network is there. If someone is smart enough to be looking for non-broadcasting wi-fi networks and finding yours, then they are sophisticated enough to defeat your normal security protocols anyway. Maybe if Apple ever decides to fix this problem, which appears they might not be interested in doing, then you could go back to normal security protocols. But until then, this works wonderfully. Give it a try and see.

Cluster Disk keeps going offline. Service or application failed

We currently have 2 servers, both housing 3 VMs (6 nodes total). 2 Disk are used to house these VM's. Cluster Disk 1 keeps going offline, which kicks 2 of our servers offline until we migrate the disk to another node (puts it into redirected
mode). We then have to restart the server to re-establish to connection to the cluster disk. Digging around in event viewer, I saw the following:
Cluster resource 'Cluster Disk 2' in clustered service or application 'b0a21897-e59b-46c9-a495-273dc5ad2aea' failed.
Cluster physical disk resource 'Cluster Disk 2' cannot be brought online because the associated disk could not be found. The expected signature of the disk was '{92eb716c-6878-42ad-b7de-f3879d72e232}'. If the disk was replaced or restored, in
the Failover Cluster Manager snap-in, you can use the Repair function (in the properties sheet for the disk) to repair the new or restored disk. If the disk will not be replaced, delete the associated disk resource.
The Cluster service failed to bring clustered service or application 'b0a21897-e59b-46c9-a495-273dc5ad2aea' completely online or offline. One or more resources may be in a failed state. This may impact the availability of the clustered service
or application.
I ran the cluster validation test and all seemed to check out except for Cluster Disk 1 and the two servers associated with this server, as shown below:
Validating cluster resource Cluster Disk 2.
This resource is marked with a state of 'Offline'. The functionality that this resource provides is not available while it is in the offline state. The resource may be put in this state by an administrator or program. It may also be a newly created
resource which has not been put in the online state or the resource may be dependent on a resource that is not online. Resources can be brought online by choosing the 'Bring this resource online' action in Failover Cluster Manager.
This resource is marked with a state of 'Failed' instead of 'Online'. This failed state indicates that the resource had a problem either coming online or had a failure while it was online. The event logs and cluster logs may have information
that is helpful in identifying the cause of the failure.
All disks are housed on our SAN. Any idea where I can start troubleshooting further? Changing the signature of the disk or finding out which application is failing? All help is greatly appreciated.

Please, help is greatly appreciated. I have been trying to find a solution for almost a week. I have a feeling this has to do with the disk. We have 3 CSV's but the only ones in question are CSV 2 & 3. Cluster Disk 2 is the disk that
keeps going offline. Cluster Disk 3 has no problems at all. They both are GPT volumes, however, after running a "cluster res", I received the following output:
Listing private properties for 'Cluster Disk 2':
T Resource Name Value
D Cluster Disk 2 DiskIdType 1 (0x1)
D Cluster Disk 2 DiskSignature 0 (0x0)
S Cluster Disk 2 DiskIdGuid {92eb716c-6878-42ad-b7de-f3879d72e232}
===============================================================
Listing private properties for 'Cluster Disk 3':
T Resource Name Value
D Cluster Disk 3 DiskIdType 1 (0x1)
D Cluster Disk 3 DiskSignature 994692308 (0x3b49ccd4)
S Cluster Disk 3 DiskIdGuid {4f27bc43-6964-466e-a77d-2321b2b0b718}
=============================================================
As shown, cluster disk 1 has a disk signature but NOT a diskID. Cluster disk 2 as a DiskID but NOT a signature. It may be beneficial to add that cluster disk 3 used to be an MBR disk. Not sure if that makes any difference given the output
above...Performing DISKPART on the same disks shows the following (Don't mind the naming scheme, I know it can be a bit confusing)
Disk 1 (Cluster Disk 2):
HP P2000G3 FC/iSCSI Multi-Path Disk Device
Disk ID: {92EB716C-6878-42AD-B7DE-F3879D72E232}
Disk 3 (Cluster Disk 3):
HP P2000G3 FC/iSCSI Multi-Path Disk Device
Disk ID: {4F27BC43-6964-466E-A77D-2321B2B0B718}
================================================================
Comparing the two, it selects the correct DiskID that was taken from "cluster res" command.
The error in my initial post states a signature was expected. If I am not mistaken, in win2008 it uses "DiskSignature". The lack of this signature being populated for Cluster Disk 2 was resulting in the resources failing to come online. So
how can i go about fixing this signature issue. Again, all help is appreciated since I am fairly new to all of this.

The messages app in Mountain Lion keeps going offline

Hi, I am using ML on a 2010 MBP (13inch).
The message app has been configured with my Yahoo, Google Talk and iMessages accounts. The problem is that it keeps going offline. Oddly though, even when offline, I can get iMessages sent to me and it comes back online, however, my Gtalk and Yahoo friends don't see me when it auto goes offline. I tried enabling/disabling SSL in gtalk settings - did not help. I am sure its not my internet connection - I am now parallely using adium (after it kept going offline) and adium is always on for Google and Yahoo but the messages app keeps showing offline automatically (including message bar indication)

HI,
The other post I read seemed to indicate that the app "Closed" in the background when you were doing something in the foreground.
Crashed = the system tells you an App Unexpectedly Quit or there is a Crash log.
Crash Logs can be seen in Console then ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter
Uploaded with Skitch!
You can of course navigate to your Home Folder/Library/Logs/CrashReporter and find the last Crash if there is one and it will launch Console when you try to open it.
At present I have not tried closing all the Messages windows and then letting the computer get to Sleep.
What do you have set in this spot ?
Uploaded with Skitch!
I am wondering if this is a normal function of the App so that anyone who has access to your computer can't instantly access your Messages partly as iMessages show so much "history" when a chat is reopened.

Mac OS X Leopard Mail SMTP server keeps going offline and won't come on

My SMTP in mail on my email accounts keeps going offline and I can't work out how to get it working again. My internet connection is fine. I am receiving emails. I was able to send earlier on my business email account but now my .mac account has gone offline and then my business on went on me.
I only started using my business email account in mail today and loaded the account into mail. Does anyone have any answers for this as I can see there have been some other people who might have had a similar problem but I can't see any fixes?
I have deleted and reloaded both my .mac and work account a couple of times now and restarted my computer but still no good.
Can anyone help?

I have that offline mail smtp server when I try to send emails from work with my macbook. I've always been able to send emails away from home using the login and password in the smtp configurations. It's a real pain since I use one email account for work and personal business. I can receive email but cannot send any. Everytime I have to answer an email while I'm working, I have to go to the browser, go to my provider's mail page, login and send from there my emails.
Do we have the same problem?

HP D110 Printer Keeps Going Offline

My HP D110 keeps going offline and this is driving me crazy. You would think that there would be a clear solution to this by now, but there is not. Please DO NOT post an answer unless YOU KNOW it will work. I have been through hundreds, maybe thousands of solutions, and none of them work. The problem is not my computer because I have no issues with any of my other devices. None of the computers at my home can stay connected to this printer, so all of the computers are not faulty. I connect with my wireless router. Yes, I have a strong connection. Yes, it SOMETIMES works by restarting the computer but I should not have to do this every time!!!! Yes, I have went to the devices page and checked "print offline". I am so sick and tired of this advice because it DOES NOT work! The only solution: Completely uninstall the entire software package and reinstall it. This takes a long time and I am sick and tired of doing this every time I want to print off one email. Does anyone have a solution?

What is going on? Westell 6100 keeps turning on and off and now there's new software for modem?

Recently, I've been having problems with my internet connection. No big whoop-- I would just power cycle the modem or reset it to default or whatever.
Then this morning I woke up to find that I could no longer control the modem (Westell 6100) at all (reset the modem) and that every few minutes it will keep going through the process of turning on, then turning off. In other words, the lights will all turn on like "normal (power, ethernet, dsl, internet)", I'll have internet access for a few minutes, then the lights will all turn back off, then back on again. Wash, rinse, repeat.
I thought I was or suffering a virus until I accessed "http://192.168.1.1/", only to see new Verizon software installed (ProLine DSL???) for the first time in maybe the 8 years I've had high speed internet. Is this repetitive cycle of turning on and off just something that's just a temporary thing or is my internet now completely screwed?
What's going on?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Verizon more than likely updated your modem's firmware and this as a result, messed it up causing it to go into a constant reboot. Give the modem a reset to Factory Defaults, holding in the reset button for 30 seconds to clear the modem configuration file to rule out any problems being caused by that. If it's still rebooting and you cannot update the firmware by any means (the trick to doing this is to wait until the modem is fully booted and you are at the modem's firmware upgrade page before attempting to flash it!), get another modem from Verizon or purchase your own.
To update the modem's firmware, you'd need to visit http://192.168.1.1/ , choose Advanced and then choose Firmware Upgrade. You will need to have a firmware file from Verizon ready to install to the modem via the browser. You will be prompted for a Username and Password to do this, so try one of the following if you wish to try:
admin/password
admin/password1
admin/admin
admin/admin1
Your Verizon Username and Password.
Please note that if you reset the modem to factory defaults, the Username and password WILL be admin/password. You will need to change this when the modem asks you to do this.

Mail keeps going offline for no reason

During the course of a day Mail keeps going "Offline" and coming up with a dialogue box asking for me to re-enter my password. I've checked in my "account" and the information is still there so I manually have to click to go back "Online". But it repeats about every 15 minutes. Restarting the computer does not fix it and it's been happening for about 2 weeks now. Sometimes when I click to go back "Online" it doesn't happen straight away and I have to wait a few minutes. Very frustrating!!!. Sending mail is fine, it just affects receiving mail.

If Mail keeps asking for your password when retrieving mail, then it may very likely be that the password you entered has become corrupted in the Keychain. You should try this:
Open Keychain Access>Passwords and scroll through the list to find that specific entry and delete it; quit Keychain Access.
Restart Mail and enter your password again when it asks, and check the box to save it in the Keychain. If things work as expected, it will not ask you again unless your Keychain or an entry in it becomes corrupted again.

Mail keeps going offline on MobileMe and my ISP's POP

Hi,
Just in the past 2 days my accounts keep going offline, If I bring them back online they instantly go offline again.
I opened the connection doctor and it says I am connected to the internet however in the details below it says it could not connect to his mobileme imap server or my 3 other pop servers.
I can get mail on my iPhone using the same Internet connection as my Mac.
This happens with wired and wireless connection.
A fix which works for 30 minutes or so is to disable all of my accounts in preferences and then save and then press enable again.
I spoke to Apple Care and they weren't much help.
Is there any other suggestions anybody can suggest? I am thinking of creating a temp account and importing my MBox's I don't know if this is a good idea though.
My MobileMe account is sitting at 670mb and all of my pop mail gets deleted and goes to 0mb as I run rules to transfer it to my MobileMe folders.
Please help!!

I have a similar though not identical issue with Mail - I have Comcast and Mail goes offline constantly - I reboot - reenter the port #'s and it may or may cure it - I sometimes wait and it fixes itself - When I go to Comcast web mail it's all there. It's just the Mail application - it's not a Comcast issue -
I will also receive prompts saying that the pop a/c is asking for a different port # than I've been told to use 110 for incoming and 587 for outgoing - no ssl checked - sometimes it almost seems like the numbers change on their own - I doubt that is happening and nobody will cooberate that but still it goes offline constantly - very frusrating - I am sure it has to do with Apple's security precautions in Mail -

My wireless printer keeps going offline--how can I "stabilize" the connection"

my wireless printer keeps going offline--how can I "stabilize" the connection?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello gerrie,
What i would do is Power cycle the printer and the router as well
-basically having them turned off for about 10-15 seconds
-and then powering back the router back on wait for all the lights to turn on completely
-and after that is back up and running i would turn the printer back on and re-establish the connection between the printer and the Wireless network
I am an HP employee.

DVR Upgrade / Expansion - External Hard Drive goes idle

I upgraded my DVR by buying a 2TB external eSata hard drive. The external drive works when I power it on and it shows up in my DVR menu. I have been able to record to the external device and playback.
The problem is that the device goes idle and goes into standby mode. The cable box then does not recognize it and only records to the internal storage. The only way I can get it to record to it is to manually turn it off then back on. I contacted the manufacturer and it doesn't have a shutdown feature, they said the issue is with the cable box not sending power to it.
Is there a fix for this?

I am not sure why it is doing that. The external drives so still keep working if the box is in standby. To rule out it being a problem with the box you can hook it up to another box you may have or hook it up to a friends box to test it. Also refer to our e-sata page talking about the connectivity, drives we have tested and approved services for(though people have successfully used other drives) , and frequently asked questions.
