Printer won't connect to laptop - Please help asap!

I've connected my printer to the internet, done all the steps that the useless desktop dr or whatever it's called has told me to do, (including uninstalling/reinstalling various different things, restarted printer and laptop, turned router on and off etc) and it still won't connect!
I've got my final deadline in a week and I honestly have no idea what to do anymore, and since I can't actually find anywhere to contact HP on here, I'm begging anyone for some help?
I've set it as default, it's printing "test pages" with no problems, it just will not connect to the laptop (Dell, Windows).
Thank you

Please provide the following relevant information so someone can help including:
Printer Model -
Detailed Problem Description -
Operating System of computer (including service pack revision) -
Connection Method - USB, Hardwired LAN, Wireless? -
Make and model of router and modem? -
Error messages - on printer screen and/or computer, any blinking light patterns?
If wireless, when the problem occurs, what is status of Blue Wireless light on printer, on, off or blinking? -
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.

I worked for HP but now I'm retired!

IPod won't connect and charge--Please Help

hey all. I've had my video iPod for a while. Here's the problem: it was recently connected to a random windows PC, and now it won't work. It was fully charged last I knew, and when I tried to use it it wouldn't turn on. Rather than doing that, it would show the apple logo, then light up, then turn off and one of the two battery charge signals would appear (those being the large one and the smaller more modern looking one). I've connected it to two other computers, one being a windows laptop, and I've recently realized that the computer (any of the three) no longer realizes that there is a hardware connected. If anyone can please help I'd greatly appreciate it.

I hav a 30g video ipod aswell and am having a similar problem. I connected it to a friends computer who did not have I tunes and it my ipod froze and has never connected to my computer since. This was about 6 months ago. It will not charge on my computer, in fact my computer does not even recognize that there is anything connected to it.
I have tried resetting but that has done nothing, if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks!

HT1695 i've recently got an iphone, and i did the starting questions i've connected to the wifi, but i won't activate. it also won't connect to itunes, please help

i got an iphone the other day and when i started it up i answered the language questions and i've connected it to the wifi. just when i click next it wont activate, it's unable to connect to itunes as well, please help me

First things first, You need to update your wifi security settings. If its set at WEP, then change to WAP2. If its already set that way, then you need to make sure iTunes is up to date on your computer, then update your software.

Connection issue! Please help ASAP.

So I have a macbook pro running OSX Lion and I also have a Sony running windows 7. I connected my bold 9900 running 7.0 before to my windows laptop to update it to 7.1. After it updated successfully, I was able to use it on my Mac and PC and whatever. Now, 2 days later, My Mac doesn't recognize it! All I get it power supply to charge the blackberry or USB mode which the blackberry desktop software doesn't detect. My SONY does detect it though somehow and works fine with desktop manager. I have tried everything rebooting all devices, trying a different USB port and different wire etc but nothing helped! I really need it to connect to my macbook again! Any ideas? PLEASE AND THANK YOU!
Solved!

I have fixed the issue, I complety un-installed it from the un-installer in the dmg file when you download it from the site. Re-booted the mac, installed it and re-booted!
Works fine now

If you're trying to connect to a Bonjour server on the remote network, that won't work over a layer 3 VPN. Use something like Hamachi or one of the SSH-tunnelling Bonjour proxy apps for that.

Hp C4580 printer won't connect to wireless network, but see network is available.

I've sat through quite a few of the threads here with regard to photsmart C4580 printer not connecting to wireless network.
My issues started with a cartridge issue, which I resolved with a new cartridge, but only after trying out different solution offered on HP forum.
Now printer won't connect to my network which it has been connected to for over 2 years with no issues. The wireless network is working perfectly fine and I even printed out a HP photosmart C4500 series connectivity status and in this report printer can see the network I need to connect to.
I've tried downloading various programs from Scan doctor to complete install of all HP programs and even tried installing printer from Windows 7 "add a printer", but none can see this printer.
lastly I was hoping trying to locate IP address for printer which looks like it may help, but report says IP Address "not applicable".
I believe printer, wireless network and PC are working correctly, this there a way to switch printer to online so it can be seen.
Help would be great.

Hello becky81464
If you were able to load websites until you updated Firefox, your Internet security software (including firewalls, antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and more) is likely preventing Firefox from connecting to the Internet, see [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet firewalls]

I tunes 11 freezes under windows 7 64-bit immediately and won´t do anything. Please help

itunes 11 freezes under windows 7 64-bit immediately and won`t do anything. Please help !

The first thing to do is make sure you are using the latest version of iTunes. Look on the Help/Check for updates menu option in iTunes, which will confirm that you have the latest version or enable you to download it.
The effective way to Sync the iPod is to add your songs to iTunes and then connect the iPod to iTunes after you have added your songs.
So if you have been connecting the iPod and then trying to add songs "to the iPod" - don't!
You add the music to iTunes and then sync the iPod with iTunes afterwards.
Next, try connecting the iPod to iTunes, if you get the "duplicate file message", can you post it here (exact wording please)?
Once you have the iPod connected to iTunes, click on the Device that appears on the left of the iTunes window. On the Device/Summary screen, choose (check) Sync only checked songs and videos. Providing the songs still have the check mark on in iTunes (the default when songs are added to iTunes), those songs will Sync with the iPod.
Notice the other options in additiion to Summary. Look on the Podcasts pane for the Sync option (to add Podcasts to your iPod) and also on the Photos pane for options for adding (or not) Photos to your iPod. If you change any of these options, you will need to press the Sync button afterwards for the changes to take effect.
Lastly (for now), you can only Sync the iPod with one iTunes library. If you try and Sync it with a second library on your computer, or with iTunes on another computer, all your previous songs etc will be removed and replaced with the new library.
A thought... could the duplicate file message be because you have two iTunes libraries on your machine?

My office just bought me an iMac and I absolutely need to hook up a second monitor but there is no DVI connection on it, just a Thunderbolt. What do I do? Please help ASAP!!!

My office just bought me an iMac and I absolutely need to hook up a second monitor but there is no DVI connection on it, just a Thunderbolt. What do I do? Please help ASAP!!! The imac is a 21.5" and they also already bought an HD 21.5 ASUS LCD monitor to attach to it. I'm really trying to make this setup work but this is becoming a nightmare. Any suggestions? I looked up different VGA adapters but the only options for this would be a usb-vga connection which doesn't work on macs. Can anyone tell me if this new Thunderbolt connection will work in some way? Thanks

Using the Thunderbolt port attach a Mini-display to DVI so long as the Asus display is equipped and capable, otherwise Mini-display to VGA will also work. The Thunderbolt port is ahead devices which are not yet available to take advantage of the increased capacity in speed. Until the devices and connection cables are available, just use the port as a Mini-display port.
