Printer won't install on my computer

I just purchased a new laptop with Windows 7. Now the Officejet Pro 8500 series printer that I purchased two months ago won't install on the computer. It is telling me that it isn't compatible with my operating system. What can I do?

Just use Google and search the web for your drivers here...

IPod Touch won't install on my computer, works on my brothers perfectly.

My problem is that my iPod won't install on my computer. What happens is that I will connect my iPod and then I get the Hardware installation wizard pop up and it says "An error occurred during the installation of this device. The system can not find the Hardware specified". I'm thinking the problem may be my computer because i tried it on my brother's computer and it works perfectly but on mine which is (Microsoft Windows XP-Windows 7 Viena) It wont work. I've tried restarting, resetting my iPod, putting it in UFC or w.e that is and other options I don't know what else to do please contact me ASAP.
P.S. If I don't click "Finish" on the Hardware Wizard my iPod will sync and connect to iTunes just fine but if I click Finish it will disconnect and the process will start all over again.

I have also tried restarting the iPod and reconnect it again, but still no sign.

ITunes won't install on my computer, Windows 7 64 bit.

The computer is current on Windows update. I originally had iTunes installed and it worked fine, but would absolutely NOT update-- it would download the first 25.50 MB, then never finish downloading the rest of it, time out, and give me an error message. I just got an iPhone 5, so I can't connect my iPhone to my computer anyway, because it requires iTunes 10.7 to work.
After restarting and trying a variety of fixes to see if I could get it to work, I decided to uninstall iTunes AND ALL OTHER APPLE PRODUCTS, just to be safe, ran a complete hard drive check on both my main and secondary hard drives to make sure there were no errors, and try installing it again from scratch.
But now, the installer will download, but it won't install anything. If I double-click, or right click and hit Run as Administrator, it pulls up a dialog box briefly, then closes out. It will not run. It does not give an error, it just pops up a dialog box then closes without telling me anything. At all. I've deleted it, redownloaded it, restarted, verified that my computer is up to date at least 5 times, and it never, ever, works.
I just ran across another suggested fix that suggested I extract the files and try installing the individual components separately. When I tried doing that, I got this error message:
! C:\Users\Chloe\Downloads\iTunes64Setup.exe: The archive is corrupt
So. What the **** is going on? I am downloading directly from Apple. If I could download the entire ~300+ MB file directly to see if it would work, I would, but I can't find it anywhere. I am really frustrated with how much time this has taken. Otherwise, my computer runs fine.
I've downloaded iTunes on Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, I also tried deleting all cookies and temporary internet files in between installations. I've tried a lot of stuff. This is driving me absolutely bonkers.
Thanks for any help you've got.
I'd be happy to share any other computer information that might be pertinent, just ask.

Hi sahgin,
The issue eventually resolved itself, I still don't really know why. I kept up with Windows update, and attempted downloading iTunes again from the Apple website, and it just... worked. It now works fine. I don't know why it took approximately 4 months to work, though.
I'm sorry I don't have any more helpful information. Posting here was my last resort, and clearly Apple never bothered to reply.

Epson 635 printer won't install via wireless with Mountain Lion

I am helping a friend with the upgrade to Mountain Lion and She has a giant desktop which I think is a MacPro but I'm not sure. Anyway everything works fine except now her Epson 635 printer won't see the wireless network. To me this seems like a router problem but all other computers see the network via the router. Also, this only happened with this upgrade. We've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer, drivers, etc and still no go. Forgive me if my lingo is off but I am a tad new to Mac. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Here's a "Print 101" guide for Mac computers:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670
I believe that you're talking about an Epson WorkForce 635, which I'm quite sure Apple supports because they support the WorkForce 630 [series].
So try removing the printer from the MacBook and re-installing it per the guide.
P.S.: I'm running a WorkForce 645 printer just fine from Mountain Lion.

Photoshop Elements 11 boxed software installed once in Dec. 2012 won't install on new computer. Disk can't be read (tested on 3 different computers). How is that even possible of a meticulously clean, well-protected disk?

Dear Adobe,
I need your help!
On December 12th, 2012 I ordered (purchased) by mail an official copy of the boxed Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 software from B&H Photo (New York, NY). I installed it successfully without any problem on my then computer. I have enjoyed using the program since then, it’s great. This past week, however, that same computer died and I was force to buy a new computer (Windows 8.1).
To my big surprise, the Elements disk wouldn’t load off my DVD drive. The drive just kept “clicking” for 20 minutes. After trying several times from reboot, for an hour and a half, I then tried installing it on my laptop, just to see if my drive was faulty. No, it wasn’t. It too immediately went into an endless “clicking” routine trying to read the disk. And for one last try, I put it in my sister’s laptop and she got the very same result - endless “clicking”, no install. No computer could read the disk!!!
How is this even possible from a commercially made disk I used only once in 2012! The disk is meticulously clean, unscratched, unscuffed, put away in its original box and stored on my shelf in a cool place away from the sun!
Serial Number of faulty disk: 1057-4186-6029-0039-1511-3940
Is there anything you can do about this as I see no reason why I should be forced to spend over a $130 (in Canada) to replace a disk that worked only once!
Regards, Andre

copy your disc contents to a desktop directory. install from that directory.
if that fails, download the installation files:

Acrobat 7 pdf printer won't install

Finally managed to get CS2 installed on a new Vista machine after old pc died, and apps appear to work. Acrobat 7 launches with no issues. However if I try to create a PDF from Word, it tells me the pdf printer isn't installed (and its not listed in printers). If I try to open the word file in acrobat, it tells me it can't find the adobe resources.
Any idea what the problem is? CS2 wouldn't install to the /Programs (x86) folder - installed to a new folder called /Programs x86.
Any help would be appreciated.
George

If you upgraded to VISTA X64, you also likely upgraded OFFICE also to OFFICE 2007. Both VISTA and OFFICE 2007 require AA8.1.2 I think (Vista had problems with earlier AA8 versions). Thus, AA7 is an issue that you are lucky if you get it to work in those environments. Actually it would be nice if MS would quit messing up their OS so that other software has to be upgraded. Adobe works at a rather low level of the system and getting all the bugs out when trying to follow MS specifications is apparently a real pain (think MS makes their specs kind of crazy on purpose - and folks often need to complain to MS rather than the software vendors). You might have heard that MS had to add their help system back in after the fact (they had purposely removed it from VISTA) since their own OFFICE products used the help system. Apparently a lot of companies also complained about Netmeeting that originally was dropped from VISTA and a new version was added that is VISTA compatible. Bill

Ical won't install on my computer

I'm thinking my computer is too old for ical. I have an old imac and tried to install ical on it and it says that it can't be installed on this computer. It's an old imac that's an extra computer that I use. I'm running 10.4.11. All my other macs are newer and they work fine. Can someone enlighten me on this? thanks

Use the Mac OS X installation disk to install iCal if it isn't installed for some reason. iCal is bundled with recent Mac OS X versions and the standalone download is only for Mac OS X versions which don't include it.

Network printer won't install on windows 7 computer

I have 3 XP computers on my network and use the hp 3900 printer. I can install the printer directly using the usb connection to my new windows 7 computer, but when I try to install it from the host computer on the network it can't find the updated driver.

Hey,
First try installing the software below and check for any differnce:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-120038-6&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
If the same error appears a such may happen due to other issues than the operating system version (e.g. lack of Administrator rights, free space, ram, etc.
Follow these guidelines, the steps should be similar for Windows 7:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03532486/
Additionally let me know how much free space and RAM you have on your PC, as well look for any Details button once the error message appears.

Printer won't work with either computer on the wireless network

Yesterday I went to the HP website and downloaded the rcommended drivers associated with my Win 7 computer and Officejet 7310 printer. Ever since I can't print at all. My other laptop connected to the network (Win Vista) won't print either. My computer indicates that my printer is offline. How do I get these devices talking to one another again
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Download and run this diagnostic, it should tell us what is going on.
The IP address looks right for the printer. The DNS server and gateway (router IP address) are often the same at x.x.x.1
I suspect a firewall issue, but let's see what the diagnostic tells us.

D1660 printer won't install in Vista home premium

I have tried several times to install this printer; t keeps erroring giving an error code of:"Fatal error MSI.dot4wrp01, Module C:\windows\system32\hpbmiapi.dll failed to register.
Here's a list of the corrective steps from the support pages that I've tried:
     Gave all users full permission to \program files, (all sub directories)
     Ran msconfig - selective startup
     disabled anti-virus
     Ran msiexec /unreg and rereg
     checked for Windows updates - returned up to date
     ran sfc /scannow - no defective files found
every attempt has had the exact same result. I can't find anything else to check/change/try

This worked for me (assuming you have atl.dll installed in the System32 folder) after researching:
1. Go to the Windows/System32 folder
2. Find CMD.exe and right-click on it
3. Choose "Run as Administrator"
4. At the command prompt type --> "regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\atl.dll" and Enter
5. Restart the computer and run the HP installation software again
6. You should be good to go
BTW, do the HP techies ever Google the error codes???

Firefox won't install on my computer

I've had firefox installed on my laptop forever. Lately, it's been having trouble updating firefox. I removed the firefox program and then tried to reinstall it on my laptop. I click on the download button and click run but nothing ever happens. I even tried saving the program and same thing. It saves I click on the setup and it still won't download. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hello lynchsta ,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then install Firefox. Please follow these steps:
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
Or better yet, download the full setup file here: https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-33.0.2-SSL&os=win&lang=en-US ( I assume that u use windows and language English US ) . For other builds: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
# Before trying to install it, delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b>Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.
