Scanner wont work i tried EVERYTHING!

i bought this allinone c3180 printer a few months ago used, but it was brand new out of the box.  it has worked fine for me up until now.  now when i try to scan something from the hp solutions center, it says "hp has stopped working" and "unable to communicate with hp scanning software".  i've tried unplugging and replugging the printer, i;ve tried switching usb cables, i've tried rebooting, even uninstalled and reinstalled everything and it still has the same problem.  NOW what do i do?? 6 months and the thing is toast??? geez!!
 this started happening after i ran out of ink for the printer....but i dont think the ink would have anything to do with the scanner??

Hello, I would start with this HP Support document - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00040499&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_US...
I would also try scanning from MS Paint or MS scanner and camera wizzard. Some times these other applications will work when the HP software isn't. By the way, the document listed above has a very high resolution rate when the steps are followed in the order that they're listed.

    Haven't really used any of them including VLC - actually use netflix on the ipad more than anything. I was able to drop an mp4 into imovie on my ipad and see it there. This was something I had shot as avhcd and converted with turbo.264. Played fine. Probably not what you want for a movie player though.
    Well, turbo.264 is indeed very nice to have - even for converting full-sized movies. (Nevertheless, TechRadar's latest roundup (see http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/6-of-the-best-video-converte rs-for-mac-1074303 ; also linked from another roundup at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/benchmark-excellent-multimedia-converter-handb rake-vs-commercial-apps ) has shown it's still worse than HandBrake in most respects.)
    All H.264 files (assuming they are H.264 level 4.1 or lower) are compatible with the built-in Videos app.

    Those of you who use other players, what do you reccomend? Just curious.
    It entirely depends on your needs. The top players (AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer, It's Playing, GoodPlayer) all have different strengths and weaknesses. I myself use It's Playing the most as I convert everything into MP4 and simply love the DSP's (brightness / volume / saturation boosting). (Its software decoders are definitely worse than those of AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer; however, MP4's are played back from hardware.)

    It won't work or just won't install?
    Which OS, browser(s), and anti-virus software are you using?
    If you're using the free Avira AntiVir(us) Personal software, then deactive the Webguard feature first before installing the Flash Player.

  • I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?

    I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?
    so i'm using the usb mouse

    I want to clarify the issue.
    The issue is with the MBP trackpad, and it works fine with an attached USB mouse.
    With some ingenuity, you might be able to fix this yourself, but I suggest visiting your local Apple Store/Genius Bar. Some have fixed this issue and have posted their results online, but the Apple Store should be your first destination.
    Post here with your results!!

  • Flash Player won't work. Tried everything I can think of.

    Right, excuse the babbling but I want to make sure I have all
    the details down here. I also don't know that much about computers,
    but I shall try.
    I am currently running XP on an Advent laptop which, for some
    reason or other, has decided that it doesn't want to run flash
    (Java etc is also a problem). I have tried the Internet Options
    settings (ie putting Java and Active X on enable or prompt etc) and
    all that seemed to do was every time I go onto YouTube type
    websites, it would download various things OVER and OVER again. I
    also can't see any flash on things like MSN or other junk that
    teenagers tend to download (Zwinkies or cursor sites etc) I managed
    to get over this by downloading Firefox, which has sorted my
    website problem, but I am now in a predicament. I STILL can't see
    and winks and stuff on MSN and I have just had some .SWF files sent
    me to check but, as they aren't on the internet, I cannot use
    Firefox to see them. I would also like to view them when I am on
    the move, with NO internet connection.
    I have tried downloading various stand-alone Flash players
    but the same problem still occurs.
    quote:
    This program requires Macromedia Flash Player Plugin, which
    is not found at this system. Go to the Macromedia site to download
    and install plugin?
    I have tried everything I can think of, even
    completely uninstalling it as per instructions on this site, and
    reinstalling, but nothing seems to work. Is there a setting I need
    to switch on or is it just my computer that doesn't like Flash?
    Please help as I am at my wits end.
    Thank you.

  • Curve 9360 custom sound alerts for messages will not work. Tried EVERYTHING.

    I have a brand spanking new BlackBerry Curve 9360 that just arrived yesterday.  It is great apart from this very frustrating small prob.  I can not customise my message alerts for individual people in my address book.  When I click on "try it" only the LED button flashes and there is no sound or vibration.  I am trying to get the sound and vibrate to play as "active profile" but it just won't.  I can override it and have custom volume and vibrate that plays no matter what the profile but as I sometimes like to set my main profile to vibrate or silent, it won't do.
    So far, to fix it, I have tried:
    Wiping profile and sounds from the blackberry software
    Full factory reset
    Creating my own profile and using that instead of "normal" or any of the other preset ones
    Loads of battery pulls before and/or after any changes
    I have also had a few different people text me to make sure the problem isn't just the "try it" feature.  It isn't.  The sound that plays is always the default message sound for whatever the default profile is.
    If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated
    Deb

    I have also experienced exactly the same problem.
    The profile is set on normal, with the ringer volume on 10, the ring tone has been selected, and I have also selected the option of the vibrator along with the ring tone.
    Now here is the problem, initially it rings and works perfectly, however it seems to automatically turn off the volume so the LED light keeps flashing, however there is not ring tone or vibration.
    If you select the "normal" profile or any other profile and change the ring tone or the volume, and click on the try it icon at the bottom, it still only flashes the LED, with no sound.
    Have tried everything that you have mentioned in your email, however still unable to rectify the issue. the only way to rectify is it to hard stop the BB, by pulling out the battery and restarting the Blackberry.
    Can anyone help or suggest what needs to be done ?

  • Ipod wont come on, tried everything

    I was running and a song would stop halfway through it. I kept pushing play again and it got to be every 10 seconds instead of every minute or so.
    I finally let it stay paused and my screen never worked during that time. I went home and plugged it in the computer and it didnt recognize it and the screen stayed blank. I restored the ipod to default settings from the computer and during the whole time the screen never came back on, just beeping, not even a flashing screen.
    I was able to add songs back on it from my computer but it still doesnt work or anything, connected or disconnected from the computer. I left it alone all night plugged into the computer and it still wont work at all. It just beeps. Ive tried the resettings and all.
    I tried laying it on a flat surface plugged into the computer and pushing the menu and middle button at the same time and still nothing. Its hooked to the computer now and its just clicking every 5-6 seconds.
    PLEASE HELP!!
    Thank you

    did you ever get this to work again? i just had the same exact problem happen to me today... the ipod isnt that old and i only use it to run with...

  • Isight not working, i tried everything

    OK, so I've been through all the discussion threads on this and tried everything. My camera did work when I first got my computer (about 2 months ago), now it doesn't. applications say 'no camera attached'. I have taken out the battery, zapped the PRAM, and done a SMC reset. None of that has worked, I still have no isight. what's next?
    Thanks.

    I've seen this before working at compusa on an imac. In that case all they had to do was open the back of the computer and reattach the camera cause some wires came undone. This is definitely something apple will be able to take care of, by either repairing or giving you a new one which ever option they see fit. Just keep in mind the down time might be a little longer then you might think. Hop all works out

  • WLan connected, iPad and iPhone internet ok, iMac not working after trying everything (manual ip etc...)

    I am quite new with a mac computer. But i think i nearly tried everything, i have no idea what else could help...
    My iPhone and iPad are working perfektly in the wlan. My iMac works very rarely. Yes it worked once by manual ip, but later it did not work again.
    Wlan always works (sometmes it takes a few seconds until thesymbol is fat, mostly it starts with "no internet")
    I tried so many things...
    - manual ip found out by my windows pc
    - $ in front of the password
    - the apple faqs on the websites
    Very strange, but i hope someone solved an comparable problem already ;)
    Thx!

    I had a surfstick before, does that influence the whole thing?
    And another thing: in other wlans the iMac worked perfectly... Without any manual settings etc.
    Anyone an idea?

  • Flash won't work despite trying everything

    Recently all Flash content videos on all websites stopped playing in the Firefox browser running on my Vista 64 bit system. I have tried everything on the support forums and elsewhere that can be tried. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash and it is the latest and greatest version; I have refreshed Firefox; I have disabled the protect mode; I have made sure all the plugin and extension settings are as they should be and all to no avail. Every time I get the same message: "Your Adobe Flash is out of date."
    I have used Firefox for over a decade, but if this continues I will be forced to adopt another browser - sad.

    The issue here is that Flash 17 did not uninstall Flash 9 when it was installed. So Flash 9 is still getting used first, even though Flash 17 is also installed.
    The solution is to delete the Flash v9 .dll file.
    In your URL bar, type "about:plugins" and click enter. On the about:plugins page, find the entry for Shockwave Flash which says it is v9. Then look at the "path" line for that entry. It will look something like C:\windows\SysWOW32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_9_0_0_169.dll
    Navigate to the directory that the file is in, close Firefox, and delete the NPSWF...9..dll file. Then re-open Firefox. Now Firefox should be using the latest version of Flash.

  • My key sounds and lock sounds no longer working, have tried everything!! Please help?

    I have only had my iphone 4s for two months. The key sounds and lock sounds not working, happened after plugging it in for charging. It's all switched on in settings. Now it only vibrates when a message comes, or new mail etc, even though I have tones set it doesn't play them. I have done a full restore and hasn't worked either. I have also noticed the amount of power has disspeared (number) now too. What should I do? Thank you!

    Thanks, power icon all sorted. But I still can't get the sounds back. I tried that reset at the beginning and it hasn't worked. Tried it again, still the same. What should I try next? Remember I've already tried a system restore. Nothing is working! Don't know what to do next?

    OK, that tutorial is different than what I assume you want. I suspect you want the ability to have users upload images and store the metadata of those images in a database, correct? That tutorial only shows how to upload to a specific location so the image can
    be displayed in an iframe.
    Search for "php file upload scripts" to see how to upload to a file system and store the metadata in the database.
    >and no, mostly i have used the dreamweaver features to avoid it as much as possible
    As you are seeing, DW code is very limited in what it can do. It also generates code that is not up to current standards,and is very difficult to work with if you need to modify it. Basically, it's junk. Forget it and learn how to read and write code. There are tons on tutorials on how to get started with PHP.  DW Server behaviors only seem like a time saver in the beginning. In the end, you'll end up wasting more time using them than learning how to code yourself.

  • TS1630 no sound and wont shut off. tried everything

    Hi, I have a 7 month old, or about, iPhone 4S. I can't listen to music or hear any sounds at all, but it will vibrate. My phone refuses to shut off, and will turn on a few moments later. I have tried everything and i have read everything in the articals and Apple Support. Is there anything that I can do or should I look into a new phone?

    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
