Printers not Working since last week

I have two wireless Epson Printers, as of last week when I try to print to either printer does not print and message is looking for printer; however it is able to print a test page. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Step 1
Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings.
Credit for this solution to ASC user Yuengdog1983.
Step 2
If there's no improvement after Step 1, restore the following folder from the last backup you made before the EPSON update:
/Library/Printers/EPSON
You may have to reset the printing system for the change to become effective.

Bluetooth seems like working since last week and at the same time I can't manage the Wi-Fi

Bluetooth seems like working since last week and at the same time I can't manage the Wi-Fi. I have already restored.

This entire thing is a hair over four months old, I don't think it should be acting up this much. Plus, this problem happens only once out of every 40 or 50 times I start this thing up. It's very infrequent, but it's there, and it just bothers me, I guess.
That said, I would try reinstalling, but I wouldn't be able to tell if it'd worked unless the problem never cropped up again in a long, long time. Sadly I also don't have access to my OSX discs at the moment (I'm out of the country).

Drag and Drop not working since last software update

Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving an icon on the doc and the same thing occured. YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

HT4623 My sounds for such things as Netfix, or ABC Shows, etc does not work since last update. How do I fix that?

Sound not working since last upgrade. Get no sound with Netflix or ABC, NBC,etc. worked fine before last update.
How
do I fix this?

Hey Janetna5,
Thanks for the question. Does restarting your iPad help the issue?
Restarting your iOS device
1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
2. After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
via iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If not, is it possible that your side switch is toggled to mute sounds? See this resource for information:
Volume buttons and the Side Switch - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9940e758
Mute notifications, alerts, and sound effects. Slide the Side Switch toward the Volume buttons.
The Side Switch doesn’t mute the audio from music, podcasts, movies, and TV shows.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Screen rotation not working since last update

I have had my galaxy s4 for almost a month and love it, but it recently had a software update and ever since the screen rotation is not working. The camera is always upside down. Occasionally if the screen rotates to landscape, it won't rotate back to portrait when I turn the phone back the other way. I have tried to restart the phone. I have unchecked and rechecked the auto screen rotate setting. Nothing fixes it. Any ideas as to what is causing this and how I can fix it?

Thank you Klue for responding, but when I followed your instructions, I could not find a setting for Gyroscopic calibration. I researched it further, and learned that the latest software update for the S4 eliminated this setting. If anyone else has suggestions, please help! I can't post photos on social media because they are all upside down. Help please!!!!

My computer was not working properly last week. Now the computer starts, but it appears like its all factory settings. How do I restore so I can read my email, see my pictures, itunes etc....?

How do I restore my personal items such as iTunes, my pictures, email etc...? The computer was acting up last week, and now everything looks like factory settings.

Hello, first thing to do is in the Finder, double click on your hard drive's icon, see how many users are in the Users folder, sounds like your Home folder was possibly renamed.

Nokia 5800 XM camera flash not working since last ...

I had purchased the Nokia 5800 XM and the camera was fine, and it still is, but the flash for night photos does not work. It has completely stopped working.
What is the solution to fix it?
Please will appreciate.
Hopefully
Jerry

Hey Jerrydecarona
Please go to your camera settings and activate Night shooting mode or night portrait mode and Turn on the flash.
If this does not work please perform a hard reset using the code *#7370# security code 12345 if asked, remember to back up first using Nokia Suite.
As your flash is is working during the day, I do not think that this issue is a hardware problem. But if these steps do not solve your issue please visit a Nokia Care Point to take a closer look at your device.

Internet not working since last update

I believe it was Thursday or Friday, my mini downloaded an AirPort update. Ever since then, it hasn't been able to load web pages. It will download e-mail just fine through the Mail application, and it will even start to load a web page, but then it will just freeze. It's like it won't download anything beyond a few k in size. I've tried both Firefox and Safari. If I go into 'Internet Connect' it says it's connected, and the signal strength is usually about half-way full. I haven't made any changes to my network, or my router, which leads me to believe it was the software update. Before the update, it was working fine. Is there any way to "roll back" to the previous software?

Nope, no kids. Though I do have an open wireless network, so it's possible that somebody else is connecting and using it (I know, bad idea). However, I've taken out my Windows XP laptop, set it right next to the Mac Mini, and had no problems browsing wirelessly, so it's not the network, or the signal strength.
I did upgrade the RAM in my mini almost 2 weeks ago, so it's possible the antenna was damaged, but it was working fine since then.

Screen not working since last update

Hi, since I downloaded last secirity update few days ago, my computer started behaving weirdly, first couldn´t´empty trash although it would tell me that ooperation was completed right, all files would stay in the trash (i tried secure emty trash and all) and now the screen is so dark that i can only see shadows of windows. Luckywise i have a second screen at home so i can send this but, it´s not enough i need to work with it. I already tried to reset PMU but nothing happened, and in my last moving apparently i´ve lost the OS dvds so i can´t try to reinstall and chech definetively if the problem is software or hardware, before i take it to the retailer for repair (and i loose my working tool who knows how long) is tehre anybody that can help? does this last update srewed somebody else´s computer ? is it just a coincidence?
Thanks

After reading the thread "17" PBook display colors are off .. bad" and your thread I was able to fix my problem. I think what must have occurred is the recent computer update some how reset some of my display preferences and it turned the brightness way down. All I did was go to System Preferences then Displays and adjusted the brightness.
I hope thats all you problem is, good luck

HTML5 not working since last system re-install

Hello,
Yesterday I could see 99.99% of the Youtube videos I could find, and today (after a system re-install) it's not possible anymore, with both Firefox and Chromium.
I didn't keep any track records to what version of Chromium/FF I was using yesterday and today (why would I, anyway) and I also have no leads to why this would happend.
Is anyone facing the same problem? Did Chromium update since yesterday?

"Few"? Not really. I always went to https://www.youtube.com/html5 and enable the HTML5 player. This renders to a score of 99.9% of all videos I can find. Until today, of course.
I re-installed Arch today and it looks like everything is working fine. But I noticed this "bug" (let's call it that) started again after I installed Minetest, some videos that I could previously see were unavailable all of a sudden. Then I installed Libreoffice and it's all working again. Could be because of "jdk7-openjdk", but this is just a wild guess. Another wild guess is that the order I install things and the things I install matter too. Sometimes I find myself tripping over these situations.

CD Drive not working since last set of updates

Anyone else have the problem? It affected my CD drive on my iMac G5...the drive scans and scans blank or recorded CDs then after a while spits them out.
I guess it could be something wrong or dirty with the drive, but was suspicious since ih just happened after that last set of quicktime and iTunes updates.....

I would not use fstab, because the removable media would require an entry per disk. I show the classic way, but nowadays. udev can handle this for you.

Wireless Printers not working since Windows 10 download

Since my download of Windows 10 on August 5, 2015, both my printers deskjet 3000 and photosmart 7520 are not connected to my desktop any longer, I had just printed on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer software several times, rebooted router and computer to no avail. I am frustrated to no end. Are these printers even compatible with windows 10, does your software need to be updated? Helllllllpppp.

Try removing one printer completely from Windows 10.Make sure to remove the driver in Print Server Properties in Devices and Printers.
