Printer re-starts on its own from time to time.

My Photosmart C4680 all-in-one seems to have a connectivity problem. Without any visible cause, it simply restarts from time to time. Some times the PC is in use, other times it is not. The PC generates the usual "device disconnected" and "device activated" sounds when this happens. I have changed the cable from the printer to the pc and also re-checked the current connections to make sure they are firmly seated. Any suggestions?

Better news my charger I was using appears to maybe be part of the thing. I wouldn't work so I got my brothers and it charges so is it possible the old charger was shorting it thus the safety bit killed the power? Maybe the angle is just happen stance.

Printing on HP LaserJet P1102w from iPad2 via AirPrint: is printer supposed to have its own network?

Or is printer meant to have its own network? When I want to print, I have to disconnect my iPad2 from my 'Belkin54g' home WiFi network & connect it to the 'HP-Print-4F-LasetJet 1102' network that is listed (under 'Choose a Network' on my iPad2's Settings/WiFi page).
Once the printing has finished, I need to re-connect my iPad2 back to my Belkin WiFi network.
iPad2 shows the printer has/is on its own separate distinct WiFi network & my WiFi/Internet Router/Access Point is on its own one; both show up as such ("'HP-Print-4F-LasetJet 1102" for the printer & "Belkin54g" for the WiFi).
Please can anyone advise me if this is correct, or if I have set it up incorrectly?
And if so, where/how I would need to change this? I was going to have a look in the web-page based Config pages for the printer & my router.
Any help/advice would be gratefully received. It seems to take ages for my iPad2 to reconnect to the WiFi router once I finish printing (upto 20mins, which makes printing very time consuming, although this is probably a separate issue in itself!).
Thanks, Si.

Hi simonbond,
I understand you have a new router and are unable to setup the printer on the new network.
Thank you for your reply.
I will be happy to help you with this.
I would reset the printer first to clear out any previous network settings.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared. (hold down the x button and when the printer makes a noise let go)
After the reset, disconnect the routers power cable, wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the power cable. Wait till it's ready.
Since the software is already installed then I would setup the wireless again by connecting the printer by USB to the computer.
Then go to start, all programs, HP, Laserjet, wireless configuration wizard, follow the steps to setup the wireless. When finished remove the USB cable.
Then try and print.
Hope this helps.

I want my mac to start on its own just for one session.

Hello,
Is there a way to have my mac start on its own for just one session and thats it. A one time deal?
Thanks

Oops, really for Warrior Ant.
Don't ask me to do it but that might be Applescriptable. I think there is a forum for A'S'.

Mac Mini - Screensaver starting on its own and clock is fast ...

Hi there experts ....
I've got a 4 month old Mac mini
Model Identifier: Macmini3,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz
I've noticed for the past couple of months the clock is 4 minutes fast ....
And the screeensaver is coming on by itself out of nowhere ...
I/ve run disk repair ... Maintenance ... put screensaver to never and even disabled front row screensaver
I've reset pram and nvram ... ANy clues ....?

So even if you put the screensaver to never it still starts on its own?
Also you clock runs faster by 4mins?
I smell an OS issue. Partition your drive and install a fresh OS onto it. If it works(no problem there) then restore the partition into 1 drive. Zero out the drive and put a fresh OS in it
**back it up first
If the fresh OS on the new partition still fails. it could be a hardware failure.

One note starts on its own when I use Remote Desktop connection

Whenever I use RDC to connect to my home server, One note start and pops up totally on its own on my local computer.
Can anyone explain why, and more importantly how I can stop this behaviour?

After hours of reading through forums and posts similar to this one, and knowing the proposed work-arounds were not going to be accepted by my client that was having the issue, I came to the conclusion that it had to be a print driver or the software that
gets installed along with the print driver on the server that was causing my issue.
I started searching and came across some Epson software that was installed on the remote desktop server when I was trying to get a scale house ticket printer to work as a network printer. The printer was not installed on the server but the software remained
in the add and remove programs list.
I removed the three Epson entries in the add and remove programs list and the problem stopped.
I don't know if this was mentioned above but the behavior I observed was that the print job was going to multiple printers, not just OneNote. I my case if I removed the OneNote pritner I would then get prompted by the Microsoft XPS Document Writer for a
file location to save to.
I could open the print queue for each of the printers that were getting redirected on my local machine, I would then log in to the remote desktop server that I was having the issue on. I could see the "remote desktop redirected printer doc" get
sent to each printer. If the printer was online it would flash for only a moment and the printer would ignore the job as if nothing had been sent to it. If the printer was offline the job would stay in the queue.
I think this was mentioned above so I will reiterate, don't approach the issue like it is a problem just with OneNote or with a particular driver from a particular manufacturer. We know at the very least that the problem can be caused by Samsung driver/printer
software and by Epson driver/printer software so it stands to reason that there can be other drivers/printer software packages that can cause the same problems.
I hope this helps!

Slideshow is starting on its own

iPhoto 8.1.2
when I open iPhoto then select a photo to view, it is starting a slideshow on its own. I am unable to exit the show when I hit esc it restarts the slideshow. I can look at the strip at the bottom of the screen. I can not control it in any way. I have to force quite by holding down the power button.l
not happy

Try this simple fix: trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
I have to force quite by holding down the power button.l
Have you tried option-command-powerbutton?

Dial-up starting on its own

See my previous question. If I leave my PC to just go to sleep on its own, as per C) method, it sometimes starts to dial up, and I have to hurriedly hit the Disconnect button (Am not on Broadband, it is not yet available my area), so I have to be careful that it hasnt done this after I have left the room. Anyone any ideas how to prevent this?
Apple Mac os x Panther Mac OS X (10.3)

go to System Preferences --> network ---> internal modem --->configure ---> PPP options.
There should be a check box that says "connect automatically when needed"
Make sure this box is NOT checked.
that should solve your problem (I hope)

Mission control starts on its own every few seconds to once minute.........very frustrating

I bought a new iMac in August. A few weeks have gone by and my new computer is AWESOME. I just switched from pc and have been very happy. But......yesterday when i turned it on Mission Control would start to turn on randomly every few seconds. It happens all the time now, it really *****, and i have no idea what to do about it. I thought maybe i was activating with magic mouse so i tuned off that feature and it still happens. What should i do?

YES!!!!!! After many hours on the phone with apple (very god customer service, those guys really wanted to help) we determined that the keyboard was the defective. They gave me a replacement at no cost and now my computer works perfect once again. One of the indicators that it was the keyboard was that i couldn't make an upper case e using the shift button. By opening opening up Mac OS X Utillities and having me type in the onlline help section we saw the problem persited and they were able to dertime that it was a hardware problem and not the software, from there all it was was a quick trip to the apple store. Good luck i hope my experiance was helpful.

Mac Pro starting on its own.

I have run across a bug I think. After shutting down a Mac Pro the machine has turned itself on during the night. In Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Startup after power failure has been unchecked. There are no applications that have a 'run during the night' theme so I am at a loss as to why the machine starts itself up. Anybody have any clues?

I think you're confusing sleep and shut down. If a machine is asleep (which is what it does if you just shut the lid on a laptop) and you plug in or unplug a USB device, the computer will wake up. Of course, if you're unplugging a USB flash drive in this way, you could damage it.
OTOH, if the machine is shut down, it will not detect removal of a USB device, much less start back up.

Itunes starting on its own

Does anyone suffer this problem, itunes just starts for no reason and starts playing when I switch the computer on. I then quit itunes and it starts again.
Can anyone offer an explaination for this occurring?
I do not have the computer set to start any programs at start up.
Thanks
Steve

Check Dashboard to see if you have any iTunes-related widgets running. If so, close them and see if that makes a difference. Other third-party programs that link to and/or access iTunes data, such as the applications that post what's currently playing on sites like Facebook, may do the same thing, so see if you have any of those running.
Hope this helps.

Why does this mavericks start on its own? even after downloading GFX card status it keeps on restarting. Fix it Apple. I'm going Banana.

The laptop says kernel error, but after downloading GFX card status the laptop keeps on getting restarted. Oh why did i buy a macbook?

Either your Mac is broken, or you have something installed which isn't compatible. Hard to tell without the kernel panic log.

What do I do after downloading and extracting Firefox (the application does not start on its own)?

I use Ubuntu and just downloaded the newest Firefox browser. Then, I hit Extract, and it shows me a Firefox folder but nothing inside the folder can be clicked to to open the program.

Also check that you meet the requirements for current Firefox versions.
