Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these.
Hopefully something there is helpful!

Problems keeping Photosmart Premium e AIO C410a connected.

My printed keeps becoming disconnected. Diagnostic Utilities have not helped. Online chat got it going for 1 page, then stopped. Told to change to static IP and later told to reboot and try Dx Utilities again (rude person, ignored what I was telling him). Critical update does not apply to my setup. Using Windows 7 64-bit. Linksys WRT 160N router and Ad Aware Total Security. Correct network settings displayed on front panel of printer and network diagnostics all Passed. Printer thinks it is connected and computer thinks it is connected, but it not evidently. Usually need to uninstall and reinstall and enable device in windows to get it to work. This happens 2-3 times per week. If it weren't for this major inconvenience, it'd be a perfect printer. I have HP printers since 1989 and never problems like this.

I have been using HP network printers for 15+ years.    This is the first time I have had major problems with a printer and no one at hp is able to find what the problem is.    They try every thing in the cookbook, but they don't want to listen what the problem really is.     At times the printer/scanner work fine, then sometimes it doesn't.   The printer shows that it is offline or disconnected.   You can watch the print queue when you print something and right in the middle of printing something it will go offline. With the HP Solution Center, it will show it is disconnected.  I ping the printer's ip address and when it stops working - the ping error message is "Request timed out".     Then a few minutes later (no changes), the response time is less than 1ms.   This keeps occuring every 3-20 minutes it will work, then stop working, then work again.    No hardware/software/connections are done during this time.    When the printer ip address stops working, I still use the internet, connect to other local network devices, print to other hp network printers. When printer ip address responses to a ping, all the printer functions work correctly.
Yes the software has been updated and reloaded multiple times.    HP level 1 support staff have no knownledge how to solve this problem and they are afraid to ask for help from second level, thinking it will make them look bad.   I have talked to 7 help desk people and only one was willing to ask for help and the connection was cut off.    Lots of the time when they put you on hold, after a few minutes (3-5) the connection is dropped.   Noticed they don't record the steps that have been taken, because they reask you to try the same steps you had just completed with a previous help desk person.    I have spent over 6 hours on the phone with these helpless support staff.    The HP help desk support is the worst in my 30 years of working in the computer industry.
HP wants to blame the switch, router, the ... anything else, but their software/hardware.    Each time they blame it on something, I show them they are wrong, or remove it from part of the configuration to elimitnate is as a possibility.   They have no way of finding the root cause of the problem.

How to get my software on my 8900 curve and view home security cameras ?

hello, i was hoping to find a solution on how to access my home security cameras on my 8900 curve ; was told it was possible but the attet tech didnt know how exactly ! is there a way to download my software and view my home cameras on my curve ?

hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You will need to do one (or more) of several things:
1) Find out if the maker of your cameras has an app for your BB. Do whatever they say to do to make it work.
2) Create a compatible web page from your cameras that you can then view using your BB web browser. Compatible media streams can be found in this KB:
KB05482 Media types supported on the BlackBerry smartphone
I think this has been done before -- do a wide search on this forum and see if you can find the answers that others have found in the past.

Problem keep getting the eye and two dots

Sound like many people are haven the same problem and no reply back from Verizon yet.
Cell phone sit there, and goes into this mod, "Eye with two dots" on the display. Lock the cell, and after some time, does a reboot.
I removed the battery, and thought cold restart, came back to the same spot, lock.
Fix from store outlet: told to reboot the software and prior to that, remove all the items..
sound like a long shot, how come no feed backf rom Verizon IT people.
Jayme

Hey there Jayme!
If we have many people having the same issue, I appreciate you speaking up a bit more. Let's see what's going on here. Let me clarify, while your phone is idle, it will randomly come up with a screen with an eye and 2 dots, correct? Then it will turn off and back on? If that is what's going on, a hard reset and erasing all information is probably the best step. This issue may be caused by an application or possibly something in the software. Reverting back to the way it was out of the box can determine this.
I also apologize about not getting back to you until now. This is a peer-to-peer forum and we only interject when the question isn't answered by one of our lovely community members. Please feel free to contact us on Facebook or Twitter @vzwsupport. Thanks!

Do you know how to keep my mac pro air to connect automatically to wifi

I have problem keeping my Mac pro air to connect automatically to wifi .

It depends on what your settings are set at.
Are you talking about to your own Network, or are you talking about recognising and connecting to Hot Spots.
Go up to the left of the date and you will see the Airport Icon single click it and it should give you the Networks that you are in range of, You connect by choosing the network you want to join. If you need more info be more specific what you need.

Need for Host identification and information connections

I am new in oracle data base 11g, I want to load data from a user file using oracle entreprise manager to my data base schema, but I found the problem of the host identification and information connection (host user and password).I tried to use informations identification of my data base instance but there is an error "invalide username and/or password".
please, help me.

I think the application you are using require the operating system and password that you installed oracle with for example
if you installed oracle using user name :oracle and the password is oraclepass
then give these credentials for the application and let us know the result.
kind regards

If Join was on then your home wi-fi must be set to Non-Broadcast. If you did not set this up (maybe your provider did) then you will need to find the Network Name they used, and any password they used. The SSID is Security Set ID and to see more try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID . Basically it is the name used to identify your router/network. A lot of times the installer will leave it set as LinkSys, or Broadcom or whatever the manufacturer set it as for default. Your best bet is to get whoever installed it to walk you through how they set it up, giving you id's and passwords so you can get in. HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with this (if you set security wrong, etc.) you would be well ahead of the game to hire a local computer tech (networking) to get this working for you. You can also contact the vendor of your router and get help (if it is still in warranty), or at least get copies of the manuals as pdf files. Sorry I can't give you more help, I hope this gives you an idea where to go from here to find more.

Apple TV keeps telling me there is a problem with my apple ID and password when I try to connect to home sharing. I have checked and rechecked and re-entered several times with same message.

I just bought an Apple TV and am trying to set it up. I am connected to wireless, is having difficulties setting time and date. When I try to connect to iTunes and sharing. It keeps telling me that there is a problem with my apple ID and password. I have quadruple checked and re-entered and it won't recognise it. What do I do? Dan.

Sounds like it is more an issue of connecting to the internet. Not just the WiFi Some people have reported that performing a power cycle on their Internet router solved this.

Problems keeping bluetooth keyboard and mouse connected

When I upgraded to IOS Lion, I started having problems with my BlueTooth Mouse and Keyboard losing the connections multiple times a day - over a year ago I guess. I use an Intel iMac and run a home office for an online business. So I am on the computer all day! I tried every fix I could find within the Apple Support Community. I finally reloaded a fresh copy of Lion from a thumb drive as a last resort. Whiped the whole system.
I am now having the same problem and it takes about 3-5 minutes to get the keyboard to connect every morning now when I wake it from sleep. I have a Macally BTKEY BlueTooth keyboard, so I can have the 10-key. I have the magic mouse that came with the iMac.
Does anyone have a better solution or should I just take it to the Genius bar at this point. The problem is I use it to run my on-line business and it is problematic to be without. Thank you in advance!

Have you tried making your Bluetooth devices favourites? Doesn't always fix things, but it did for me when I was having regular drop outs with the Magic Mouse.

Just purchased a 3rd generation iPad and cannot connect to house wifi. It keeps searching for a connection but the gear wheel just keeps on turning. The wi-fi spot is listed and I entered the security WEP code. I connected a Macbook without problems.

Just purchased a 3rd generation iPad and tried to go thru the startup and connect to the house wi-fi. Found the house wi-fi among the listings and was prompted to enter the WEP security code. Gear wheel just keeps on turning and a connection is never established. I have tried this 4 times with the same results. A desktop computer is connected and I easily connected a Macbook without any issues. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try Settings, select the network name, click on the blue arrow to Forget This Network and try signing in again.

Serious problem with blackberry 9300 Curve handset and denial from BB to replace the same, under warranty.

Dear Blackberry Authorities,
It is really a horrible experience with the handset of blackberry for me. I have purchased blackberry Curve handset 9300 on 22nd April from a "Phone Store”, Shop No.78,79,community centre, New friends colony, New Delhi, The Invoice No. is 319,The details of the handset are as follows:
Handset: Blackberry Curve 9300 1256-India Qwerty-Pink
Name: Blackberry 9300: ETA-716/2010/WRLO
Model: RDA71UW
It has been more than just three months ,when i purchased this handset ,It worked fine for about only fifty days from the date of purchase and from the second month ,to my shock, serious problem started in the handset and some time it was getting hanged ,sometime some keys in the keypad did not work ,some time it was getting hanged the moment I receive incoming call., sometime sms sending problem, some time some other problem ..Every time I used to switch off the phone and start again, then it used to work but after some days again there were some other problem occurring in the handset.
The phone was not getting connected to PC from the starting, and i have tried so many times but i fail to get success.
Many a times when I used t send sms the entire alphabet typed on sms has gone separately as a single alphabet in a particular sms to the recipient, causing embarrassment for me in my organization. I would blame the black berry for this embarrassment as this has caused due to faulty phone they have sold me,
I am service class person and i get occupied with my work at office in the day hours and doesn’t have time to go to the service centre of blackberry every time the problem occurs, as there are only one service centre available in Delhi at Lajpat Nagar.The service centre is about 20 Kilometers away from the area my office is situated, I managed to keep the phone running by switching off and switching on after one or two minutes, every time the problem occurs but in the first week of last month ,when the problem started continuing after switching off and switching on also ,I was bound to go to service centre at noida since it is close to my place (about 14 Km) in comparison of Lajpat nagar at new delhi,the service engineer at blackberry service centre saw my phone and said there is some software problem which can be rectified by reinstalling the software, and there are some hardware problem also (some keys on the keypad is not et. all working) ,for which i have to surrender my phone to them and they will send it to the Blackberry Office (they did not give address) and it would take 15 days at least ,thus since I had no back up phone and my each and every contact no. was there in phone it was difficult for me to give them handset at that time ,so I requested them to rectify the software problem by re installing the same.
I asked the service manager to get the backup of all the data and contact no saved into the phone, but they refused to do so and they asked me to go to some other shop nearby to get the data backup, I went to that shop and they asked 250 Rupees for data backup of my phone. I was bound to say yes to them for the amount the charge for backup .I gave them my handset and after 20-30 minutes they came back to me by saying, we cannot store your data backup as it is not connecting to PC. It was a highly disappointing reply for me.
Then i again went to your service centre and written down some important contact no.(the number which was stored on phone book) on piece of paper and taken out my SD card ,and gave them handset for re installing the same.
They gave me my handset after one and half hour and said" now it would work fine except hardware problem.".I came back and to my utter shock again after two three days handset was into its old condition ,then also I tried to manage with handset and when i could spare sometime I went to your service centre again on 24th July at Noida,
they took the phone and said it would take 12-15 days to return the handset after rectifying the problem,when i requested them to change the handset with a new handset which is at least in good working condition , they clarified that if the hardware problem is not manageable or repairable ,i would get new handset had no option except to give them handset for rectifying the problem.
Now,It is the time for a biggest shock from blackberry people-Today on 3rd August ,i have received a call from noida blackberry service centre to inform me that my handset cannot get repaired under standard warranty conditions of blackberry as there are some moisture into the phone and there is no warranty if there is a moisture inside the phone.
Thus now i wish to inform all the concerned ,Blackberry/Research in Motion ,managers/authorities ,that i have explained above ,all the things ,happened to me in last three months of my purchase of handset, in detail ,so i would again request to Blackberry/Research in Motion ,managers/authorities, to rectify the problem of my handset or change the entire handset so that I can use the same peacefully and should not roam around the service center of blackberry.
Giving this lame excuse that "there is a moisture inside the handset and thus it can’t get repaired or changed under warranty " is a clear case of cheating and harassing the customer, I have bought the handset to use it for my communication purpose not to roam around the blackberry service center nor to put water or moisture inside the handset and play with the handset and fight with all of you.
If there were some moisture inside the handset then that should have been seen by the noida service centre people also during my First visit itself by them and they would have refused taking the handset for repair. They did not refuse but accepted handset and reinstalled software also, If there was some moisture that would have been seen by them that time only.
In my second visit also the took my phone and seen the inside condition also of handset in front of me ,they did not see any moisture, that time also ,and now after 10 odd days ,there are some moisture inside the phone??????.
I have no idea how blackberry keeps its handset ,which has come to them for repairing ,but if there is any trace of moisture into my handset ,that would have come into the handset ,during these 10 days only when phone was with blackberry authorized service engineers for repair purpose. What I know is that My Blackberry handset is under warranty and it is not working properly thus it should be replaced by Blackberry.
On the keypad if some key are not working that is a hardware problem which was there in the handset and it has no connection with the moisture.
If this is the way blackberry is treating its customer, i would say it is harassing its customer, and does not want to rectify the problem .in this case, I would have no option left except to go to the consumer court in Indian judiciary system. And moreover i would inform my and other friends, organizational employee also not to use services/or buy blackberry handset if this is the way BB is treating its customer.
I would request all the concerned persons/managers/authorities of Blackberry/Research in Motion, take action into my case urgently and rectify the core problem into my handset instead of giving lame excuses, and change the faulty handset of mine with a new properly working handset under warranty condition.
Best Regards
Asim
