Printer not shutting down

At times the printer will not shut down. I press power button and it will be working to shut of for awhile and then will freeze. I then have to unplug it to shut it down. This happens more often than not.

Hi NORCO4655,
I have added a link below that will give you the steps to follow to perform a reset for your printer. If your screen shows shutting down but doesn't shut down it sounds like you need to do a hard reset.
Let us know if this works or if you still have the problem.

The thing is, this MUST be an Audition CC issue for two reasons. One, everything worked fine in CS6, which I was using right before I upgraded to CC. I even did a clean install of it by removing CS6 completely.
All versions of Audition can co-exist on the same machine quite happily - there is no interaction between them at all, and the system was designed to be like this. So there's nothing to stop you keeping CS5.5, CS6, CC and even Audition3 on the same machine.
The other thing I'm wondering about is Windows 8. There have been a considerable number of complaints about this doing weird things, including with Audition. I have a system that in many ways is very similar to yours, except that I don't overclock the mobo, and use a professional sound device (or two) with it (RME). The major difference though is that I use Windows 7 pro 64-bit, and I haven't had any of these problems at all. Yes I use it for a living, as well, but I don't bother with multiple DAWs - don't have time for all that these days. But I do use iZotope's RX software in its standalone mode without any difficulty.
I'm not claiming that Audition CC is trouble-free - any number of Mac users will confirm that - but people running it on W7 certainly seem to have far fewer problems with it. It may also be worth trying an uninstall-reinstall of CC - you never know. But differences in preview quality certainly point towards audio drivers, I'm afraid...

Laserjet 1020 does not print / print spooler shuts down.

Print spooler shuts down after installing lj1020_1022-HB-pnp-win64-en and restoreing to previous windows 7 restore point.
I have deleted the printer several times.
Running x64 windows 7. This is a new problem after several months of running consistenly.

I have the same problem but only with printing documents from secure sites (online brokerage) like statements and Tax Documents. The problem exists whether I print directly from the website, or download the document and try to print the file. I suspect the issue is with the driver for the 1020 because I can print the same files on my HP PhotoSmart Plus with no problems. I too am running Windows 7 64 bit edition. The bad print job stops the Spooler. You can Restart the Spooler (it appears), but the minute you try to print anything, the Spooler shuts down again. Rebooting does not fix the problem. The only solution is a System Restore.
After the 1020 shuts down the spooler, even my PhotoSmart cannot print, but it at least produces error msgs to the
effect that "No pages have been selected for printing". Trying to print from the 1020 - absolutely nothing happens - no printer dialog, no error message - just nothing.

Printer will not shut down

Tried to shut down my Photosmart C7280 printer to clear a paper jamb. Printer prepared itself for shut down, but never completed the process. Screen says "shutting down" Has been that way for 5 hours. Pressing on/off button does nothing. It no longer communicates with the computer. Manual says that unplugging printer without shutting it down first can damage the printed. The Help pages make no mention of this type of problem. Where do I go from here to get the printer to shut down or to stop trying to shut down?

having the same problem, did you ever get a resolution?

MacBook - bluetooth doesn't work and system will not shut down

Hi all together!
I have a problem with my MacBook with the newest updated Tiger 10.4.11: First the bluetooth went off and after using the hardware test the system sayed "no hardware problems". After this I recreated my system with the original MacOS-CD. It shut down properly but the bluetooth still didn't work (Meanwhile I've bought one of that 10 EURO external mini bluetooth adapter and it works). After updating, it did not shut down again and showed that bad "circle turning string thing". Then it went blue and nothing else happened. Sometimes it shuts down regularly but the most times I have to use the button for 5s. I don't think that's healthy for the computer. It seems that no one of my friends knows why this happens.
Greetings

Well, I can't guess for how long it has been like this. Don't take responsibility for something that isn't your fault, even if it is your friend's system. I wont. Should it be your fault I hope you tell us what measures you did trying to help.
Say what PSU you got. Model and name and specs. please.
The only case-to-motherboard connections you really need is Power. Start with getting that right according to motherboard and case manuals. You will probably not be able to see the text printed on motherboard about pin setting. And guessing will be of little help here. If you know what case it is Internet is your friend.

Operating System not shutting down

So for some reason unknown to me my Macbook Pro will not shut down, it will look like it's going to shut down and then a message will come up saying that a certain program, it changes with whatever one i have open, and will say that the finder did not quit properly if i closed everything prior to shut down. I have the console log here saying what the problem is, but its in computer lingo and i need a translator:
Oct 4 22:57:22 evan-wimberlys-macbook-pro loginwindow[25]: ERROR | WSActivateApp | SetFrontProcess({0, 1810874}) returned error -600. Unable to activate process.
Oct 4 22:57:22 evan-wimberlys-macbook-pro login[15592]: USER_PROCESS: 15592 ttys000
any help would be awesome thanks

This happened twice again since "resolving the issue" and each time I unplugged everything from the back and held the power button down for 2 minutes. 1 incident was after shutdown from Win 8 RTM (installed on a separate SSD using different boot order in BIOS) and the other incident was shutdown from Win 7. Each time I was back up and running. If that is required because of too much static build up then something isn't grounded properly inside that case, I would think.
I called HP tech support and they said to disconnect my USB printer because it draws too much power. Say what? The printer has its own power supply. Oy vey!

Mac Pro will not shut down

As the subject line says, my "early 2008" Mac Pro will not shut down. I have let it set overnight and it will not shut down or restart. I also installed an update which required a restart, selected to restart and the computer would not. Also, whenever I boot up, the computer hangs and will not load the finder. I have to do a "hard" restart and after a couple tries it eventually works...should I just call Apple?

Forced shutdowns tend to cause more directory errors.
How many drives?
Any green version?
Did you disable "allow disks to spindown"?
Possible it is an external USB printer or device, or cable?
I'd boot from another hard drive and do system repair and maintenance.
Create another boot volume if need be.
Startup with using Disk utility but also Disk Warrior.
And when it is working, make backups with CCC or SuperDuper.
Lacking that, boot from OS X DVD and go to Utility menu and access Disk Utility.

Cannot open jpgs Preview will not shut down, color spinning wheel present

Trying to open jpgs and all I get is the spinning color
wheel. The files will not open.
Preview will not shut down even with apple prompt
of instructions on how to do so.
First aid in the OS10 utilities has seemed to disappear, but its still there for OS9.
I've been opening hundreds and hundreds of jpgs the last few weeks, printing and dumping duplicate images, etc...
And now I get this.
Ideas on how to clear this problem up? And ideas as to what the problem is?
thx - Craig

It sounds like it might be a good idea to run the disk utilities (applications/utilities/disk utility) and run the repair disk permissions. I have found that this often solves these oddball problems.
Try completely restarting everything. Run preview before clicking on anything and try opening one of these items from the file menu. does it make a difference? If so, do "get info" on a jpeg image and see if preview is the default viewer for it. If not, that may be your problem. If you have another preferred application you may want to set all your jpegs to open in that application until you get preview straightened out. Best of luck!

Macbook will not shut down (bought new in June)

I saw some other threads on this. Mine will not shut down and I have the latest software updates on Leopard, bought my 13 in. Macbook in June. I have run it a lot, so that it gets warm but seemed to work fine until I try to shut down. I'm really worried about this because I hate to have to force it to shut down by turning it off. I do not have that third party program installed that someone said he'd downloaded and had to remove to get it to work. I hope I don't have to uninstall what little I have installed, such as Intego firewall/antvirus/personal backup, Camino, Sunbird, Flip4Mac, Washing Machine, and Io programs by Time Cycles. I don't run any of those other programs much, mostly just Safari and just now an HP printer driver. I wonder if doing a lot of scanning using the HP printer driver is what caused the problem. I just downloaded the HP printer driver right before this happened, I think. But I really need that to work.
My computer starts to hang when I shut it down and says it can't log out until I shut down something else, which is generally a program that is not even running. I wish this would stop; I'm not sure what to do about it or whether turning the computer off will hurt it. I don't know if I'm supposed to "zap PRAM" or something but I already did that for a different reason a few days ago and don't want to do that a lot.

Thanks for your message. I actually just logged in to report that I solved the issue by going to Disk Utility / First Aid / verify permissions/ repair permissions.
The problem was that the HP Officejet 7300 Series printer driver I had recently installed had all sorts of permissions wrong and they are now repaired. And the Macbook has now shut down properly twice in a row. I wonder if I should report that to HP?
** I wonder what damage if any I did by shutting off the computer using the power button two or three times in the past 24 hours when I needed to shut the computer down prior to repairing the permissions problem?*
And I did see the Activity Monitor in the Utilities section on my own just prior to trying Disk Utility / first aid / repair permissions (the disk it self didn't need repair, supposedly). I don't really think activity monitor was going to help in this instance because I did shut down all the programs, but I'll be testing that utility in the future.
I bet now would be a good time to hurry up and get Disk Warrior.

I connected my iphone 4s that i unlocked for t-mobile. I plugged it into itunes, and it asked me to update to ios6. I accepted the download and update button. it told me it needed 8 hours. i closed my laptop. not shut down. i opened and it wants restorin?

I connected my iphone 4s that I unlocked for t-mobile. I plugged it into itunes, and it asked me to update to ios6. I accepted the download and update button. It told me it needed 8 hours. I closed my laptop, not shut down. I re-opened the laptop a few hours later, and it wants restoring?? Whats going on?! i want my iphone back! PLEASE HELP. I'M LOST!!! (I synced my iphone to my computer if that helps at all).

Yes, and, I try to restore. I have the T-Mobile sim card in it just to clarify. It will not let me get passed that, it does not accept the t-mobile sim card. i tried restoring it using wifi, cellular, and i cant get i tunes. I am scared that if i take the tmobile sim card out and put the at&t one in just to complete the restoration process that the iphone will lock again and not read the tmobile sim card, then all my hard work has gone for nothing. ( this whole process was caused by me trying wanting to empty my pictures onto my computer because i did not have any storage space left). <--- that may not be as important, but i included it just because.

Can not shut down late 2011 MacBook Pro and turn it back on again without the hard drive disappearing?

Ok, I have searched for months for an answer to this question to no avail, probably because no one has experienced it before. I am hoping however that you guys can help me figure this one out cause it is driving me nuts! Also, I am not entirely sure what section of the support I should put this under so if I stick it in the wrong place, I apologize.
Right now my problem is very simple. When I turn off my laptop, and then try to turn it back on, my internal hard drive disappears... and I get the blinking folder with a question mark on it. I have figured out something interesting however. I have an install disk with Ubuntu Linux on it. If I boot into that first, then RESTART the laptop, not shut down and turn back on, it reads the internal hard drive just fine and I can boot as if there is nothing wrong.
Second part to the problem... If I allow the laptop in either OSX or Windows to go to sleep (aka shut off the hard drive but the computer remains on), when I attempt to wake it up, I am greeted with the usual log in screen of whichever OS I am in, but is frozen and after a few seconds goes black and restarts the computer to find that... Surprise! The hard drive is gone
I have tried every trick in the book that I can think of, but can not seem to come up with a solution to the problem... I know when the problem happened and if anyone thinks that that will help them figure this out I will type everything I did up till, including the crash that caused this, and my attempted fixes, but I have class right now so only if you guys want it I will type all that out.
What I am currently running is:
2011 MacBook Pro 13in screen
4Gb of Ram
1TB internal Hard Drive
OSX 10.11.whatever the newest update is... just updated the other day again.
Windows 8.1 on BootCamp 5 (yea I know its not supposed to work but it does) again, fully updated
Ubuntu 13.10 (I think? Doesn't really matter, its just an install disk I use to boot the computer)
If there is anything else that you guys need me to provide, I can, just simply ask. I can provide as much info as is necessary.

Sorry it took me so long to write back, But unfortunately this didn't help my issue.
My uncle and I did a lot of tests on this computer and have narrowed down the location of the problem a little bit.
We tried to first reset the SMC and the NVRAM as suggested, but the only thing that did was make the fans run on full tilt for the first session after restarting it for some reason. After that we tried re installing OSX over the OSX that was already on the system (not removing any of the files). This also didn't do anything but make refit stop working. Then we moved onto the next task at hand by removing the hard drive entirely and booting it as an external drive from one of the USB ports... as long as you booted it with the options key held down, it worked perfectly fine. Then we put an alternative hard drive into the computer and installed OSX on that. This time there was no trouble booting anything up. Everything seemed to work flawlessly. So we made a backup of my original drive (OSX, Windows, and all) onto an external hard drive and tested booting to it via USB. That again worked perfectly fine and booted right up with no problems. So after that we formatted the original hard drive and reinstated OSX. We then proceeded to transfer all the old files from the backup onto this new installation and LOW AND BEHOLD..... we were back to square one with it refusing to recognize the hard drive again.
So this basically told us that there appears to be something either wrong with the hard drive, or something got really screwed up in the software along the lines and by me copying all my old files back over, I just ended up bringing the screwed up file back over with it! (despite not copying over any settings of any kind) So I am still extremely confused as to what is going wrong... did some boot sector possibly get screwed up may be?

MacBook Pro (10.7.3) not shutting down after updating to latest iTunes

This is a bit of a strange one, and after searching high and low, I haven't seen any other references to it, so...here goes:
I'm working on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) running OS X 10.7.3, and the complaint is this: the system will not shut down or eject a connected iPod (classic) or smartphone (Verizon Android phone) after updating to the latest version of iTunes.
I've been troubleshooting this for several days now, and I've tried the following:
1. Created a new admin account and tested from there. No change.
2. Created a backup image of the hard drive, erased & reinstalled 10.7, created temp admin account - issue resolved, but iTunes library unable to open because it was modified by a newer version of iTunes.
3. Ran software update to bring system current (as of 20 April 2012)
4. Issue reappears after software update.
5. Reinstalled 10.7.3 from Recovery partition.
6. Again, issue resolved, but unable to open iTunes library modified by newer version.
7. Update iTunes, issue returns.
I actually did several variations of the erase & install routine, as well as several admin accounts, but the basic gyst of it is that after updating iTunes, the system hangs at the spinning gear on shutdown every single time.
The version of iTunes that is reinstalled with Lion is 10.5.1. I don't know which version between that and 10.6.1 is causing the problem.
Not sure where to go from here, so I figured I'd throw it out to the community.
Thanks.

Well, after throwing my hands up in the air, I returned the MacBook Pro and iPod classic to their owner because I'd held onto them for over a week trying to troubleshoot the issue with no success.
Two days later, she contacted me and told me her iPod was the culprit -- it had some bad sectors on the hard drive. I had thought to check that, but she had data on the iPod that wasn't backed up anywhere, so I back-burnered that until later.
Glad to see I'm not going insane, though. ;^)

Mac Will Not Shut Down

I ran Singular past my OS 9.2 drive and it disposed of items that were not duplicates. I rebuilt my system folder from a flash drive. Hard Drive will not shut down. I normally cycle between a drive with OS 10x and my OS 9x in the Startup Disk. Now when I tell it to restart on my OS 10 it will not shut down. I get a Software Update Engine error message with no error code.
I even reinstalled OS 9.2.2 and it still does it. Even after Norton Utilities.
To get past it, I option/command/esc to get it to shut off and restart on the other disk.
Has this happened to any of you?

Thanks for the input. Yes the OS's are on different drives. With all my modeling and animation programs... it would cost me a small fortune to upgrade them, hence OS 9.2.2.
This all started after telling Singular to dispose of certain duplicated file. It apparently dragged some others out with it. I have a flash drive with the good system 9 that I used to go file by file in the extensions and control panels and made the wiped disk look like the flash drive backup. Corrected a lot except for this not shutting down without using escape. Reinstallation did not stop it.
The norton is only for 9xx indeed... I am not having trouble with OSX drive at all. When I want to restart to 9xx it does it's restart and into 9xx land. Norton always finds a wall of screwed up blocks and trees... never seemed to be an issue. It raked up the files and fixed what ever these invisible files do. Still same same. We bought the first mac in Jax fl... we have been around this platform ever since. When macs were a bit simpler.. there were only so many things something like this could be. This is the only time I have seen this behavior in a mac.
I just got in from 500 mile drive.. will go though these responses after a nap.
Thanks before and after.
