Three quick beeps and nothing

Using HP Officejet 6500 E709a Series with Windows XP SP2.
When I try to print a FileMaker Pro file I get 3 fast beeps on my printer and nothing else. Nothing in queuve. Have tried turning off printer and computer.
The odd thing is that I can print another FM Pro doc from a different folder so I am not sure if this is a printer problem or a FM Pro oddity.
But, what do the 3 fast beeps from the printer indicate.

because they are needed to detect your player, that is!
just try it out, you'll do no harm by doing so

Trying to turn on my HP compaq d330 but red light flashing and beeping and nothing comes on

This question was solved.

You can try removing and reseating the memory and see if that works.
If that doesn't work, remove all but one memory module (if the PC has more than one), and see if the PC runs normally with one memory chip. If it beeps, remove and replace with the memory you removed and keep doing that until you find the bad memory chip.

When using Pages, I can't seem to print an envelope. I use file, then print, and see the printer icon come up in the dock showing it received the info but then quickly disappears and nothing gets printed. When I check the printer queue there is nothing

Bear with me, I've not done this before. I can't seem to reliably print an envelope when using Pages. I go to "file" click "print", click "ok", see the printer icon flash in the dock with a red "1" (indicating a printing job), but then the icon disappears and nothing gets printed. I checked the printers queue and there is nothing there. The funny thing is, after many times hitting "print", twice I've had envelopes printed. ??? What's the secret?

Have you tested it from other software, such as TextEdit to establish that it is in fact Pages that is the problem?
Step us through Print Setup... and what you select when you send it off to print.

From the
Brother MFC-6800 Printer's User Guide:
How Can I load envelopes:
You can load envelopes from the multi-purpose sheet feeder. Your appliaction software must be set up to print the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup or Document Setup mebnu of your software. Refer to your appliaction manual
It also mentions an issue with paper thickness.

IBook G4 makes 3 beeps and nothing else...

When I try to boot up my old iBook G4 it makes three beeps, the white sleep light flashes a few times and then nothing happens. The screen never lights up. It is plugged into a wall socket.
Is the computer just dead? Or can I boot up in a different mode?
What do the three beeps mean? Is it a death knell?
Thanks for any information!!

To back up the previous info the following may be useful.
Just a query tho, your battery is in and shows what status (lights on test)?
RAM response
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1547
You may find it useful to do this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=51850
To check that the RAM is seated (fitting) correctly see:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iBook_G4_Mid_2005_UsersGuide.pdf
If you do not feel confident following the process involved then just take it straight to a competent Apple tech or SIG.
Swap out or borrow a compatible RAM stick to see if that makes a difference. You do not have to fully restore the keyboard, but beware of the metal backing frame that may angle down onto internal components.
If all the above reveals no change, then a full diagnostic by an Apple tech is your only likely saviour.

When I go to turn on my mac after i press the button it starts to beep and nothing else

nothing has happened to my computer to alarm me that something might have been wrong with it. So Im not sure might have happened to it when I tried to trun it on and it beeps very loudly and the small little power light on the front blinks. I have to hold the power button to get it to stop and I do this about three times before my computer will finally turn on.

Hello cupcakekisses,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your MacBook Pro. If you are hearing beeps, your Mac may need to be serviced:
If you hear beeps when your Mac starts up instead of the normal startup tone, your Mac may need to be serviced. To learn what the beeps mean, see the Apple Support articles below.

Powerbook G4: three small beeps and no start-up

My son has a Powerbook G4, purchased in July of 2004.
I believe it's a 1.5GHz processor, with 512 RAM, running (I think) Tiger.
It was working fine, but yesterday he went to start it up and all he gets are three small, but distinct, beeps, followed by silence and a black screen. The small white power indicator in the screen latch button then blinks four times, holds solid (white) for a few seconds, blinks four more times, etc.
I've tried a PRAM reset. No go.
Anyone know what these three beeps mean and what, if anything, we can do to get up and running.
thanks

Anyone know what these three beeps mean
See *Power On Self-Test Beep Definition* http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1547 The blinking LED is also described.
I believe that the RAM is not being recognized. Has the PB been dropped. To reseat the RAM, look at the instructions at this link. http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Browse/PowerBook

Do appreciate any help. Thank you

Itouch will charge on wall charger, but will not charge or show up when I plug it into the computer. All I get is a double beep and nothing happens. I uninstalled and re installed itunes. I shut down the computer and shut down the itouch. What next?

I touch will not charge or show up on the computer. It charges on the wall charger. I uninstalled and re-installed itunes and I also restarted the itouch and the computer. What next?

Play it safe with the charging. Use the wall charger for at least an hour and then connect to the computer. If iTunes still denies that it exists, go here:

Do you have a question? This is a user to user help forum. Apple is not here only other users like yourself. You don't report problems to Apple here.
By the way, it might help if you indicated where you are located.

No load of the Editor so basically I can only get into the organizer

Powerbook beeps and flashes on startup the NOTHING!

Hi there,
My powerbook froze last night and I turned it off by holding down the power button. I then left it for a few minutes and turned it back on. The machine made the usual noise when once i pressed the power but then made a noise of 3 beeps and the white light at the front flashed about 4 times.
The display is black and nothing else happens. Just a continuing flashin light on the front.
Can anyone help?

Also, if swapping the two RAM sticks does let you boot, check "About this Mac" on the Apple menu afterwards to make sure your Mac is still seeing all the RAM-- if it's only seeing half, you might have the dreaded lower memory slot failure.

Hi, I can not open iTunes unless my computer is connected to my work network. I have tried to uninstall and install and nothing. I have tried to upgrade quick time, no luck.

HI, there is no error message when I try to open iTunes, it just hangs.
In regards to the location of the media folder it was located on the network however I changed it to a local directory. Should I try unistall and install with the correct media library?
