Photoshop elements 13 will not print to my new epson wf-7620 error message;default printer could not be opened

frustrated! photoshop elements 13 will not print to my new epson wf-7620 error message;default printer could not be opened

I haven't been able to try this fix, but someone emailed me the below fix:
I had same problem.Elements13 would not open my new default printer, but worked ok on four other versions of Elements. No help from Adobe, after three days of searching & phoning adobe , I found out by:- Going into Elements 13, Press Edit button, down to "Preferences and across to general. Press the "Reset Preferences on next launch". I then suggest you go through each section to make sure that your chosen preference are still ticked/checked in.
It worked for me. Hope same for you.
I'm planning on trying this fix soon. Let me know how it goes for you if you get to try it before me. Will do the same. Thanks,
Chad

Officejet 6700 error while searching for updates: 'Printer could not connect to server'

I recently purchase the Officejet 6700 Premium. While setting the printer up, I received the error 'The printer could not connect to the server.' I first received this while the printer was searching for updates. I later received the same error while trying to set up ePrint from my computer.
The printer is connected through my wireless router. All other print services function normally. It is connected to the network, and I have printed several times over the wireless network.
Though I don't think it matters, since the on-board print set-up gave me the error, I run Windows 7 64-bit on my computer.
Thanks for any help!

What is the IP address of the printer? What is the make and model of the router that you use in the wireless set up? Is the router firmware up to date?
I would first try power cycling the router and the printer. Turn off/unplug the router and then power down the printer. Then plug the router back in and wait for it to be fully up and functioning before turning the printer back on. After you have both pieces of equipment back on and functioning attempt to connect to web services again.
If still having problems I would attempt to set a static DNS on the printer through the embedded web server (EWS) by entering the printer's IP address into the address bar of a browser on a computer.
Once that computer displays that page click on the Network tab.
Then look in the column to the left and find the Wireless section
Click on IPv4
Then on that page look at the 2nd section that is labeled DNS Address configuration
Change the radio button to the manual option
Then for the manual preferred fill it out and make sure it reads 8.8.8.8
Secondary should be set to 8.8.4.4
Then hit Apply
Read the next screen carefully. That message with the "OK" button below it is one that states to click that button to undo the changes you just made. Just navigate away from that page by clicking on another tab.
Then reattempt to connect to web services.

Cannot open you default e-mail folders. The information store could not be opened?

Hi
I have a freshly installed version of windows (windows 7 ultimate x64) and when I put my credentials into Microsoft office via the Hotmail outlook connector (x64) i receive the following error message
Cannot open you default e-mail folders. The information store could not be opened
is there a way around this?

What's the version of Office you are using? Is it a 64bit or 32bit edition?
Check if Outlook is in a compatibility mode:
1> Open My Computer>Local Disk C>Program Files>Microsoft Office>Office XX>Outlook.exe.
(If you are using a 64 bit machine and not using Office 64bit, go to C:\Program Files x86\Microsoft Office>Office XX>Outlook.exe)
2> Right click on Outlook.exe and click on Properties and then click onCompatibility tab. Check if you have any check mark in any of the compatibility mode options. Make sure you also click on the option "change
settings for all users" tab at the bottom of the same screen and look for similar check boxes in the window.
3> If you see any check boxes in the compatibility mode options, uncheck all the boxes and click onApply and OK.
4> Try to open outlook again.
Thanks.

The photo "IMG_5310.JPG" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found.

Each time I open iPhoto or plug in a device and iPhoto automatically opens, the following message appears five times, looking for photos I assume I deleted, perhaps the wrong way.
The photo “IMG_5310.JPG” could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found.
I've searched the computer for the images, but they seem to be permanently deleted. How do I "reset" iPhoto from looking for these photos and remove this "Alert"?
Sincerely,
Mark T

mark, you are asking about iPhoto on your Mac, right? This is the iPhoto on IOS devices forum - iPads, iPhones, etc. Next time please post your question in the iLIfe iPhoto forum; you will get more help there.
But to your question. This error message usually occurs, when original image files are missing from your iPhoto library. iPhoto keeps the original images and the edited versions, and when the originals are removed from the iPhoto Library by deleting them from the Finder, then the photos can no longer be edited, exported, printed.
Does iPhoot open correctly, after the alert appears? Can you work with it, after the alert finishes? Then delete the corresponding edited versions of the missing originals from your iPhoto library. The versions probably will be marked by an exclamation point, when you browse your photos.
To prevent this from happening again, open the iPhoto "Preferences" > "Advaced" panel and make sure the option "Importing: Copy items to the iPhoto LIbrary" is enabled. Otherwise original files may be stored outside your iPhoto library and you can accidentally delete them and loose valuable photos.

"The photo "EGY_7895.jpg" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found"

I'm getting the following message when I click on any photo in my most recent import: "The photo “xxx.jpg” could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found". The thumbnails are in iphoto but it dosen't seems to reconize the files when I try to go in to edit. I have iphoto version 8.1.2. Help please.

Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
It sounds like this batch of photos were imported as Referenced.

HT3775 I have a bunch of .MOD files I cannot play from our Canon video cam. I tried renaming the files as MPEG or MOV, I get the message "The document "001.MPEG" could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." Any advice on getting these to play?

Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.

Cannot open Pages documents that I've worked on. I open a new document, work on it, then save and close it. When I try to open the document again, I get the following message: The document "[name]" could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct form

I cannot open Pages documents that I have worked on and saved. When I try to reopen Pages documents that I've saved, I get the following

I have downloaded the latest update to iWork, but that doesn't help.
I use Mac OSX 10.6.7
I am using Pages '09 version 4.0.5 (852)
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Best regards,
New York Mac User

A few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.

Barry

If you upgraded to Windows 8 you may need to update the iCloud control panel for Windows to version 2.1 (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4463).

TS3212 I cannot install iTunes 10.6.3 on Windows 7 (64 bit). I redceive the following message - "The installation package could not be opened..." Tried opening in safe mode - no luck. Anybody have a solution?

I cannot install iTunes 10.6.3 on Windows7 (64 bit). I keep getting the following message: "The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer program." Anybody have a solution?

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Syncing iCloud with contacts and calendar in MS Outlook 2007, will get message that "the set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened."

I install the iCloud Control Panel and information is uploaded from my Outlook Contact folder to iCloud. ICloud folders are created and syncing process between my iPhone, iCloud, and Outlook works for a while (day or 2). Then, when I open Outlook after a day of 2, I get the above message that "The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened." The only resolve that I have found is to uninstall the iCloud Control Panel, the reboot my Windows computer, then reinstall the iCloud Control Panel and resync contacts and calendar to icloud. This is getting to be very cumbersome to use this feature. What is the cause of the problem that it keeps on disconnecting to iCloud?

I have also fixed it by uninstalling and then reinstalling iCloud, but as you have experienced, the problem recurs without reason. Apple would/could not help as they say that the problem is with Microsoft's Outlook and that I should talk to them. Microsoft's techies won't help without me paying some £200 as I have a Professional - a student's - version of Office 2007. This is scandalous. It is obvious, from the many who have reported the same problem n this forum, that Microsoft should look into this urgently and create a fix

Error in workflow: Cannot complete action: Activity could not be read

Hi All,
We have a process with 2 blocks in sequence. (1) Sequential Block and (2) Parallel Block.
(1) Sequential Block
A1>A2>A3-->A4
(2) Parallel Block
a11 || a22 || a33 || a44
I need to go from A2 to parallel block execution.
I have set result state of A2 as terminal so that sequential block ends and parallel block gets executed.
But it ends with error. "Cannot complete action: Activity could not be read."
Has anybody faced similar kind of problem?
Any pointer to this will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mehul
