Scanning stops in the middle of a scan

Usually my printer scans well enough. However, if I have a big document, the scanning will suddenly stop and up comes a notice telling me that there has been a communication breakdown between computer and printer. I've done all the usual things - turned off and unplugged the printer, restarted the computer, let the HP Scan and Print Doctor loose on it, all to no avail. Very irritating. P.S. Even more irritating - when I try to update the software, it tells me that there's no connection to the printer - even when there is and I can print! The temptation to throw it out the window is becoming overwhelming...

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I see that you're having some scanning and printer-to-PC communication issues when using your HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One Printer - A909a. I would like to assist you with this. I recommend you try the following steps: Clear Temp Files Open your Start menu and in the 'search programs and files' box type %temp% and hit enter.When the Temp folder opens select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboardOnce everything is highlighted in the Temp folder select 'Delete' on your keyboard to delete the files within the Temp folder. No files and folders on your actual computer will be removed. This will only delete Temporary files. If a file is still be used by a program on your computer you will get the pop up to 'skip' the item.Once the Temp files are deleted close the windowOn your Desktop, right click on the Recycling Bin and select Empty Recycling Bin.Next, click here and follow the steps under the 'Solution Four' heading to set a Static IP address for your printer. Ideally this will help prevent future communication issues and ensure you maintain a consistent wireless connection. Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post. If I have helped you resolve the issue, feel free to give me a virtual high-five by clicking the 'Thumbs Up' icon below and clicking to accept this solution. Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum. Have a great day!

Hi @Rus636 ,
I understand that you are having issues scanning on the Windows XP computer. I can help you today.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
If the issue persists, I would disable all the start up programs and temporarily turn off the Antivirus Software to see if that is causing the issue. How to use MSCONFIG . Click on the start up tab and click disable all.
Restart the computer.
Try scanning again.
Then you will have to go back in and turn the start up programs and Antivirus Software back on again.
Please provide the following information so I can assist you better, if you are still having issues.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
Are you having any issues printing from the computer or copying?
Were you able to scan multiple pages when turning off the start up programs and Antivirus Software?
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Help! AME Stops in the Middle of Encoding - AME 5.5

Hello - I am hoping someone can help me as I am hitting a brick wall with my production suite! I am going to be as detailed as possible however I am not an expert in how software and my hardware interact.
Issue - My Adobe Media Encoder stops in the middle of encoding and does not complete the task in the queue.
Software -
1. Adobe Production Premium - Premiere Pro CS 5.5 (v5.5.2) and Adobe Media Encoder (v5.5.1.12)
2. Mac OSX v10.7.5
Hardware -
1. 12GB Ram
2. ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB Graphics Card (obviously not supporting Mercury Engine)
3. 2x 2.4GHz 6-Core Intel Zeon
Issue History
- Until this point, all of my projects, videos, and exported media have been 78 minutes or less. I am now working on a project that is 112 minutes of full HD footage. Before Thursday, AME has performed flawlessly for me. The project in Premiere Pro has source video footage that is 1920x1080 29.97 (50mbps). On this Premiere Sequence there are several dynamically linked AE compositions with upper and lower thirds and titling. Finally, there are maps that are in native 720p size movies that are scaled to fit throughout the program at the beginning of each chapter.
- I am attempting to export and encode this video for use in Encore. I have queued the project for export out of Premiere into AME using the following settings:
H.264 Blu-ray
Video Only
VBR 1-pass
Custom Bitrate - 26.5 target, 35 max
Render at Maximum Depth
Use Maximum Render Quality
Prior to Updates in Software:
- On Thursday I queued 4 files for export: 2- PCM audio only files, 1-H.264 Blu-ray video only, and MPEG-2 DVD video only
- AME ran over night and produced the following: 2 audion files completed successfully, 1 H.264 file completed successfully, MPEG2 file seemed to be 'hung up" and AME was not responding.
- Shut down/forced quite AME and tried to encode only the H.264 file. The encode failed as it hung up at different points in each attempt in AME.
- I searched and installed updates for my adobe production suite (premiere pro, AME, and others were updated to the versions listed above).
- Friday I attempted to export the H.264 file from Pr to AME and it encoded successfully!
After Updates were Installed:
- I had to make some additional revisions to the project in Pr after reviewing a draft Blu-ray. Now trying to export the revised video has failed each attempt:
- On Saturday, I experienced the following results with AME:
2 PCM Audio Only files - encoded successfully in AME (with Pr running)
H.264 Video Only file (specs above) failed - the AME froze about 1/3 through the composition.
At this point I shut the computer down and let it sit overnight.
- Today (Sunday), I tried again and experienced the following:
H.264 Video Only encode (same specs) though this time I shut down Pr thinking this would save RAM and the encode failed again. I did notice that it locked up at the same point as the previous attempt on Saturday which was a new symptom.
RAM usage was 7-9GB during the encode.
The place where AME locks up is immediately before a transition from the source video to the 720p map footage. Although there are two other segments with the same transitions and 720p footage that it did encode through.
I have researched this issue on this forum and have read the following thread thoroughly: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856263
The above thread described the issue I was encountering before I installed the updates precisely. But now I am still unable to successfully encode this project in AME to H.264?
I am hoping someone can provide something to help, I have a completed project and I can't get it encoded! (I contacted Adobe and they said my SW was now unsupported from their customer service).
Thanks for any help with this!!!
Chris

Thank you Todd for your quick reply - I contacted Adobe via Live Chat and never got a case number... I did however send the transcript of the conversation to my email...
Khongyairong: Please give me 2-3 minutes while I check and see what best I can do to resolve this issue.
Christopher Kratzen: sure - I have checked the forum for similar issues and found that there was a large thread on the subject - but no clear solution. I am starting to panic because I can't get my project to export
Khongyairong: Okay . Thank you.
Khongyairong: Thank you for your patience.
Khongyairong: Christopher, I am sorry to inform you this, we don't have support for CS5.5 , we have support available only for CC and CS6 . I request you to please refer support portal or forum where you can repost your issue and our experts will be giving you the answers.
Khongyairong: You can also purchase the phone support if you want a support.
So your advice would be to pursue Adobe Technical Support on this issue? I wasn't sure how to go about this since I really haven't had an issue until now... the production suite does a spectacular job with everything else! Just need to get my finished program encoded....

Animation stops in the middle when preview in browser

I have run into a problem where the animation stops in the middle when I preview it in browser, but it is fine when I play it in the program. Please advise how to fix this problem. Thank you very much.

I've had this problem with a purchased song but never a ripped song. I think its an encoding problem with iTunes. One poster suggested converting the song, which kind of tells us that its something to do with the encoding. I can't remember the song that this happened with, some Tom Petty tune. But I do remember this, which is strange, this happened on my Touch but not the iPhone with same song.

Printer stops in the middle of a page

stops printing in the middle of a sheet of paper and error code 0xb981b005 165:hw_interupt-hwv2.c comes up. The printer still says it is printing, but won't cancel or turn off. This has happened over and over. We unplug it and sometimes it will start and print a few things left in memory and then stop in the middle of a paper. Now the error code is 0x8810a620. We really like this printer and will appreciate any help you can give us. Thank you.

Hi doc37324,
You don't indicate which printer that you have. Depending on the printer, there is a list of Ox error codes and documents for troubleshooting the associated codes. Most of the codes associate with an ink cartridge failure, but not always.
You could find your product support page for your product and input 0x in the search field. In some cases, two documents might show up. One of them walks you through how to reset your product. I've attached the link to that one here. I believe it is for most Officejets and Photosmart printers.

HT202358 iPhoto Library Upgrader will stops in the middle of operation and will not finish. Now what?

I downloaded iPhoto Library upgrader, installed and attempted to use it. It stops in the middle of operation and will not finish. Now I cannot open my iPhoto Library! I'm freaking out a little. When I try to open iPhoto, it tells me I need to "prepare it" with the upgrader program. When I select iPhoto Library as the Library I want to upgrade, it tells me I don't need to upgrade it and should be able to open it with iPhoto. Ugh. Help??

If your photos have any value to you you should have an ongoing backup program - TimeMachine is a good first choice
For this purpose simply duplicating the iphoto library is adequate since you are not trying to protect against human or hardware failures - just against a rare rebuild issue

HT1339 I have an ipod classic. I have approx. 2000 songs on it. WHen I move the settings to shuffle all music, the music stops in the middle of the song and moves on to the next one. It happens every other song or so.

I have an Ipod classic 120gb. I have approximately 2000 songs on it. When I put it on shuffle to play it, it stops in the middle of songs and moves to the next. This happens every other two songs or so. Please help!

Try playing the song again and if it does it in the same spot on both your ipod and itunes then you have a corrupted file. You need to re-download the song. Don't worry, this is free if you bought it on iTunes. First, verify that you did buy the song on iTunes and not anywhere else. Go to the iTunes store. On the right hand side of the window there is a column named quick links. Look for "Purchased" about 2/3 of the way down. Click on it. The next window that shows up should show you all the tunes you have bought. Find your tune and you'll see that is says "downloaded." Now you know you have the tune.
Now go back to your music library on the left hand column of the window. Click on Music. Find that tune that is giving you the problem. Delete the song.
Now go back to the iTunes store like before and go back to your "purchased" list. The page needs to be reloaded Press the back button and then click "purchased" again on iTunes so the list reloads. Find your tune again. Now instead of it saying "Downloaded," it has a picture of a cloud with an arrow pointing down. Click on it and the tune will download again with, I hope, no problems. I hope this helps.

Itunes download stops in the middle on my mac mini

I have a older mac Mini that I'm using as a storage for all my movies and everytime I try to download a movie using Itunes the download stop in the middle and never finishes. I've already set my sleep to never, however if I stay on the computer during the download it will sometimes complete.

Are you using WiFi or wired Ethernet? If WiFi, try it with wired Ethernet instead, it's often more stable, not to mention that some routers have not-so-optimal WiFi settings.
