Sharing a Deskjet D4160 (Windows Vista problem?)

I have an issue sharing a Deskjet D4160 printer.
It's connected to a Windows Vista Ultimate PC (USB), and prints perfectly from it.
HOWEVER, I am unable to share it.  It appears when I browse my network, but ALL OTHER machines (Vista AND XP)
get an 'unable to connect' message.
Have verified that all users have security permission for it, no firewall enabled on the hosting PC, as well as no firewalls on
any of the other PCs (Have a firewall device between my network and the outside world).
Any one have a suggestion as to where to look?
Thanks in advance.

Your library and media should be preseved when reinstalling iTunes. See the Further Information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details and a backup tip.
Apple won't reach out and fix your computer now that something has gone wrong. How would they know? A new release of iTunes won't fix the proplem either as the installer won't do the clean out of the program installation folders that is needed prior to a clean reinstall.

  • Sharing files between a Windows Vista Business edition and a Mac osx 10.6.6

    Is there reliable information somewhere about how to share files from a Windows Vista business edition pc to a Mac osx 10.6.6?  I have googled instructions and followed the steps and still could not have sharing to happen between the Vista pc and the Mac.  These are the steps I have performed, I have made sure that
    o Both the Vista pc and the Mac have the same user account/password.
    o The firewall from the Vista side allows file and printer sharing in the exceptions.
    o Enabled sharing with a few directories on the Vista pc.
    o Changed the security policy on the Vista pc to "LM and NTLM - use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated".
    o On the Mac System Preferences > Sharing selected File sharing.
    On the Windows Vista pc, if I click the Start menu and then Network, the Mac does not appear.  On the Mac, from the Finder menu if I click Go > Connect to server and request a connection to the IP address of that Vista pc, I get an error, "Connection Failed"  (could not find pc or not available at this time).
    What else do I need?

    That was a great tutorial / walk through.
    In fact, I would say that was far easier than the entrophy route (which is good) as you can see exactly what you are doing rather than relying on an installer which has often failed in the past for me, and then just suddenly worked for no apparent reason!
    Just two things to improve it for other users, and they are really VERY minor... From previous experience, I knew where to find the php.ini.default file, but you don't let people know where to find that, and the links to the MySQL downloads were broken. I guess that is because the file names have changed or because I am coming at it from a different country. I got a message stating: 'That file does not exist on our download mirrors.'
    Thanks for doing that, I really appreciate you (and the likes of David Powers) taking the time to set these tutorials up for others to use.

  • Deskjet 5550, Windows Vista, and borderless printing

    I tried searching for this issue regarding my printer, but did not find it.  I apologize in advance if it has already been solved.
    I own/use a Deskjet 5550 to print my digital photos.  Unfortunately, I am unable to get borderless prints.
    I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit, Service Pack 2
    I am printing onto HP's Premium Photo Paper, glossy, 4 x 6.5 inches (has the tab on one side)
    Under Control Panel I click on printers, highlight the 5550, right-click properties, and under the About tab it displays: "hp deskjet 5550 series (HPA) (61.53.25.9)"  Then it lists about 27 files in the Driver Files window.
    Method 1:
    1) From My Computer I go to the folder where the picture is located.
    2) I double-click the picture and click Print, Print...
    3) In the following window I choose Printer: hp deskjet 5550 series (HPA), Paper size: Photo 4x6in. (tab), and Paper Type: HP Premium Photo Paper, Glossy
    4) I next click on Options, then Printer Properties to verify these settings, as well as to adjust the Print quality, if necessary.
    Method 2:
    I've also tried using HP Photosmart Essentials 3.5, but that hasn't worked either.  In fact, when I choose a picture to print and click on the Printer Settings tab, I find an option for Borderless printing, and the user can click on either Yes or No.  Yes is greyed out for me, meaning I cannot click on it, and it is instead stuck on No.
    Using either method, I still end up with a white border around three sides of the picture.
    I was able to do borderless printing when I was running Windows XP, so I am kind of stumped as to why it isn't doing it anymore.  Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

    There are a few things to check:
     Print a self test page as shown here.  You should have patterns of black, cyan (blue), magenta and yellow.  If cyan does not print fine in this page then move to step 2, otherwise skip to step 3.
    If cyan does not print in the above test then gently blot the nozzles of the color cartridge on a damp tissue.  There should be a stripe of cyan, magenta and yellow.  If cyan is missing here then the cartrdige is defective.  If the cartridge is new and a genuine HP (not a refill) check the warranty expiration as shown here.  If the cartrdige is in warranty then contact HP for a replacement.  If the cartrdige is beyond its two year warranty then replace it with a fresh cartrdige.  When buying new cartridges look for the "isntall by" date on the package.  I would look for a package with at least six months of remaining time before the :install by" date, which would have a year of remaining warranty.
    If cyan printed OK in the test page but not when printing from the computer then it is probably a driver issue.  In this case I would disconnect the printer, delete the 5550 from the printers folder and then download and install the driver from HP's site here.

  • Dreamweaver and Windows Vista Problem

    Hello,
    I ran into a problem with my Dreamweaver - 8 application and
    cannot find a fix. I open up the Dreamweaver application, 2-3
    seconds later, I get the following error message, “A problem
    caused the program to stop working correctly, windows will close
    the program and notify you if a solution is available.” I am
    using Windows Vista and believe the problem is associated with the
    Vista operating system. I am puzzled by the fact that I have been
    using Dreamweaver with Vista and have had no problems up until now.
    I uninstalled & reinstalled Dreamweaver to no avail. I
    restored my computer to an earlier date, and updated Dreamweaver,
    and still have the same problem.
    Any help to resolve this problem would be greatly
    appreciated.

    Hello Again,
    I finally fixed the problem. I went into my network settings
    and reset my network address. This did the trick, I went back and
    opened up Dreamweaver without any problem.

  • Iphone and Windows Vista problem

    Okay, so I have windows vista and the iphone seems to be having a hard time with that.
    When I plug my Iphone into my computer it recognizes the apple device and asks if I want to import picture. In itunes it shows the button that the Iphone is plugged in and synced, however, when I press that button nothing happens. I can't add any photos to it because everytime I try there is some kind of error. What can I do?

    Same exact problem!
    Upon returning home after picking up the long awaited iPhone 2, I discovered that my iTunes and/or Windows Vista would not detect the iPhone, and I’ve been searching the Internet for a solution since (going on day two now). Apparently, Vista and the latest iTunes have had this problem quite a lot.
    It’s really a shame, as I think Apple is missing a singular opportunity to use the iPhone as a transition drug to more Apple products. I for one have been looking for a reason to dump my Dell and pick up a MacBook Pro, and the iPhone seemed to be it.
    However, if I get caught in the middle of a ******* match between Apple and Microsoft, well, they both lose.
    When you spend this kind of money, it is imperative that the thing works out-of-the-box. I will never purchase a Dell again for just this reason. Now, if I purchase a Lada, well, I'm expecting to put in some hours and blood to get the thing air born, but an Apple product? No way.
    Please help me become an Apple customer.

  • SAPGUI 7.10 on Windows Vista Problems

    Hello everybody, this is my first post. Yesterday,I have installed the released version of SAPGUI on Windows Vista Ultimate with Office 2007 but I have a few problems:
    1. Transaction BD87 seems to hang after executing from the selection screen. If I try the transaction and selection on a Windows XP machine using SAPGUI 640 I get a result within seconds.
    2. When I try to open Maintain Pricing procedure in customizing sales and distribution the SAPGUI 710 seems to hang as well, same behaviour as above mentioned.
    3. When I try to the Spreadsheet button (CtrlShiftF7) from a ALV list display, nothing happens.
    I appreciate the help,
    Michiel

    Hi M,
    since SAP GUI 7.10 is still beta, i would expect some problems. Take a look at SAP note 950052 if there is any of your problems listed.

  • Windows Vista Problems (Possibly not the Operating System)

    Running Release version of Windows Vista Ultimate on a Dell XPS 410 Desktop System. Running the newest version of iTunes 7.0.2 and i am having a problem when playing a song parts of the song will be garbled up and distorted. I have tried all the volume controls and this does not help. It doesnt matter what song, type of song, etc that i play it just seems to happen where the song will be playing and during the play parts of the song, not the same parts but different parts, will sound distorted.
    Please advise on anything i can try and get rid of this problem. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.

    apple says don't upgrade to vista because itunes doesn't work well with it yet.
    If that ain't the tail trying to wag the dog i've never seen it.
    Note to apple: as popular as your ipod is you don't carry that kind of weight.
    You had plenty of time to get your house in order for vista. Times up. We ain't waiting

  • Traktor 3.3 & SB Live 24-bit External in Windows Vista, Problem sol

    Hi!, I'm from Mexico, I'm a dj, ok, few hours ago, I solved the poblem with my SB Li've External in Traktor 3.3 of NI, I use Windows vista in my tablet PC, and when I boutght it, Traktor never show me the 5. channels... I think the problem is with the driver for windows vista, one week ago I recovered my tablet and I install Windows XP, but my AMD Turion 64X2 runs bad the traktor 3.3, today I decided to install my SB Li've in W. Vista, again, And?I decided USE THE XP DRIVER CD, I had't installed any software of music in my PC, only the traktor 3.3, when I?trying to set the Audio COnfiguration in traktor I find one?option in Audio Device: ASIO4ALL v2,?and others options.the most unusual is that de option ASIO4ALL had't show me before. ok but this option allows us to use 8 outs of the SB Li've , & 2 for?front, ....etc. the last 2 outs (7 and 8), I thing that?are for the Digital Output(please confirm me it). I don't know how my?PC detected that option in traktor, I had another SB Li've External, & make the same steps & never show me that. my?NEW SB Li've Ext. I boutght it'stoday, I don't see any?unlike. Fortunately for me?traktor & SB LIVE Ext. runs great in Windows Vista. . maybe the XP Driver CD is new, I don't know! (for these news steps I never install the VISTS Driver CD).
    When you configure Ur traktor Outputs, select ASIO4ALL and push the Control Panel button, Traktor will run another windows with many options.
    I use this options in my PC (if U recommend me other please tell me):
    Audio Device: ASIO4ALL
    Sample Rate: 4400 hz
    Audio Latency: 23.ms (configured in ASIO4ALL control panel)
    ------in ASIO4ALL control panel:
    .-Select SB LIVE 24-bit Ext. and clic on enable button. if there are other please disable it.
    2.- mark Always Resample at 44. Khz <-> 48 Khz, and force WDM Driver to 6 bit (optional)
    ?clic on exit.
    go to output routing, and U will find the 8 outputs.
    Note: in ASIO4ALL control panel I see a web page for support, cheak it: www.asio4all.com, maybe U will find more options.
    I hope this hel
    ps.
    with my first SB LIve I visit this forum and many people have the same problem. . good Luck! and happy Mixes.
    for questions please contact me:
    [url=mailto:[email protected]">mortal_csw@hotm ail.com[/url]
    www.trancemx.com
    And Sorry for my bad english jaja. BYE!

    ok, in output routing you will find all options to configure your outputs, for the cue?monitors select 2 outputs of the SB Li've, in my setup I have?3 &?4 outputs (C/Sub estereo output), for master I have & 2 (Front), & for Booth 5 & 6 (Rear). maybe your problem is that you have not?deactivated your old sound card, and haven't enable the SB Li've, U can use both at the same time, and get more outputs . U can configure Ur outputs?as U Like, if U use a external Mixer with 2 or 4 channels, select in output routing - mixer mode "External" and send the channels A, B, C & D in a specific?output. good Luck

  • Time Capsule + Windows Vista Problem

    Hi,
    I just recently set up my Time Capsule 1TB, and had it create a wireless network through my iMac running Mac OS X 10.6. Configuration was easy, with no hitches along the way. I secured the network with a WPA2 password. The internet works fine on other computers running Leopard/Snow Leopard, and also on my iPod Touch (2G IIRC). However, on my laptop running Windows Vista Business, I ran into a hurdle.
    The computer is able to identify the network, but is unable to connect to it. It alerts me if I enter the wrong password, but it cannot connect if I enter the correct one. I tried removing the password protection, but it is still unable to connect.
    The selfsame computer previously able to connect to my iMac's network through Internet Sharing. The network was unsecured.
    Do I need to install anything on my Vista laptop for it to be able to connect to my Time Capsule's network?
    Thanks in advance.

    Do you have wireless encryption enabled on your Time Capsule? That is the password the PC needs to connect.

  • Problem sharing folders, imac to windows vista home premium over network

    I can see my windows machine on my Mac but when I try to connect it take a while and gives me an error saying connection failed. On the windows laptop, I can see my mac, can open the icon but only see the printers I have shared on my Mac. I did check to make sure permissions and file sharing on both are setup. I'm sure I'm just missing something simple. I've read dozens of postings and I've followed them so I don't know what i'm doing wrong. Its weird that I can see both machines on each system but cannot access. Help please...thanks

    Still having this issue, the windows machine shows up on my imac but it never connects. Also, I can see my mac on the windows machine but it only shows printers as shared.

  • Unknown Device ipod Classic and Windows Vista problem??

    Help!! My ipod Classic is not being recognized by my computer. I have read the previous articles and tried the solutions but I continue to get the result "Windows has determined that the driver software is up to date" I continue to get the error noise when I plug the USB in and the Device manager continues to say "Unknown Device" It seems others are having this problem, how do I fix this?

    I am having the same trouble with mine, and I can say that it isn't iTunes, I plugged my brothers iPod Nano in and it worked like a charm, but when I plugged my iPod Classic 160g in all it says is it is an "unknown divice". It isn't Vista either as the same thing happens on XP Pro as well, so all I can think of is it is a error on the Classic itself. I just wish someone can help out so that I can use my ipod!!!! Come on Apple!!!! Solve this problem!!!!
