Using Aurora 5.0a2 and is suddenly won't print or do print preview.

Says "printer can't be found" after Print Preview; and "do you want to install a printer" after Print. Clicking Yes I get Print Spooler service is not running, but checking that reveals it is. I recently installed a Java upgrade; tried uninstalling but it can't find the .msi file and fails.
I'm using Windows XP Professional; happens everytime I try to print. I've tried reinstalling 5.0a2 via update but still won't print; also tried stopping and starting Printer Spooler service and shutting down my computer, then restarting it and Aurora. Nada.

Many thanks for taking the trouble to reply.
It's all very mysterious but it seems to have corrected itself.  Eventually the error message "out of paper" appeared yesterday (it had plenty), I pushed in the paper and things started printing again.  I was also able to scan again.  Not sure if it was down to a Google glitch or what but we're up and running again.
Merci beaucoup!

  • System Preferences, Address book, and ical suddenly won't open

    As I said My system Preferences, Address book, and ical suddenly won't open. This seemed to have happen all at once. The only unusual thing to happen lately is that my ipod was corrupted and I resored it last night. Now when I try to open these programs I get one or two bounces on the icon, then nothing. My other programs including itunes seem to work fine. There are no error messages at all.

    /System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Versions/B/Message (file is empty)OK, this is an important part of your basic system and will need to be restored.
    First you should boot from your Install Disk and repair your disk: see Using Disk Utility and fsck to resolve startup issues or perform disk maintenance.
    Then I think you would be wise to consider an Archive & Install. See Mac OS X : About the Archive and Install Feature. This should put back the missing file(s). You will also then need to re-apply the Mac OS X 10.3.9 Update (Combo), and anything else Software Update says is missing.
    Post back and let us know how you get on!

  • Using Aurora 29.0a2 the screen is very rapidly dimmed if I stop moving the mouse

    The question is simple. When I stop doing something on my screen (using Aurora 29.0a2) the screen gets almost immediately dimmed. I just have to touch the mouse and it is back in full colors...

    Is this limited to Aurora? If you need a release build to test, you can use the "Portable" version from here: [http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla Firefox%2C Portable Ed./Mozilla Firefox%2C Portable Edition 27.0.1/]
    Some monitors have an option to reduce power consumption or adapt to the brightness of content. It seems from past threads that this can affect Firefox even if other browsers are not affected. Example: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/981249 Screen dims].

  • HT201272 I downloaded an album but one of the songs is corrupted, it only plays for about 4 seconds. When I try to re-download using the iTunes Store and "Purchased", it won't give me the option to download it again. How can I get the song I PAID for!!??

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I was using my Iphone 4 and it suddenly stopped working.

    I was using my Iphone 4 and it suddenly stopped working.
    I thought the battery had just worn out really quickly or i'd not charged it last night.
    My phone is presently plugged in and not even a battery charge appears.
    I've had my phone for 16 months so I think its out of warranty, Im gutted as all of my recent photos havent been backed up!! Not sure what to do, can anyone suggest a possible solution please?

  • I had lion and am now using 10.6.8 and my iphoto won't work

    I had lion and am now using 10.6.8 and my iphoto won't work I am told that I need to use another version of iphoto

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you're able to create and run a new library successfully the culprit is your current library.
    In that case try the following on your current library:
    If you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Commadn+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I'm using Aurora versioon of Firefox. It won't print & says I need to install a printer but it's already installed.

    I'm using Aurora version of Firefox (v. 5.02a). I try to print but it won't and says I need to install a printer. I say OK but it then fails. I already have my printer installed and it works fine with all browsers but Aurora. This problem happened about the time I was offered to upgrade to v 6.02a. I tried upgrading but the upgrade failed and I lost all my many tabs that I keep open for research for my writing. I must be able to print and wonder what I should do (and why 6.0a2 didn't work!).

    That 5.0a2 version is old as Firefox 5.0 has been on the Beta channel for some time now and is due for release on June 21 next week (despite what some sites wrongly claim).
    Firefox 6.0a2 has been getting developed on the Aurora channl for a few weeks now.
    You should update to recent Firefox 5.0 beta 7 at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/channel/ or update when 5.0 is released.

  • Hello. I'm usin Aurora 7.0a2 and Firefox 5 web browsers. The Windows Media Player 11 plug in doesn't work in Aurora, but it does in Firefox 5. Should I change something in the configuration of Aurora? or just wait a new upgrade?. Thank you very much.

    With Aurora 7.0a2
    Online radios like: http://www.amdelplata.com/envivo.html
    Show a mesagge: "Additional plugins are required to show all content of this page", and there is no sound.
    With Firefox 5 it works good.

  • HT3500 my laptop, iPad and iPhone suddenly do not connect to my printer.  All of these Apple product and my HP printer are connected to wifi, but now I cannot get anything to print from computer, iPad or phone.  suggestions?

    All of my Apple product have suddenly been unable to find my HP printer.  All are working/connected to wifi and were printing just fine yesterday.  Suggestions?

    Hello Faith25
    Check out the articles below to get your notebook and iOS devices to print again. Check to see if there is anything that could be preventing it from being print to like a jam in the printer or a print queue that may be stuck. Another think to check, if you can get it to show up on your notebook. is to see if the printer has the latest firmware.

  • Safari and Entourage suddenly won't connect, or stay connected (dial-up)

    Help! (Please note that this is a question about a MacBook; ignore "Powerbook G4" signature).
    The Safari and Entourage applications on my new MacBook, which is on an Apple USB external dial-up modem (NOT wireless or Ethernet), have suddenly stopped connecting. Manifestations:
    (1) Safari: When Safari is opened, it connects normally via dial-up to the start page (Google), but then either won't connect to the next website or goes to a new website, then disconnects after a minute or two. The error message then appears: "You are not connected to the Internet. Safari can't open the page [website address] because your computer isn't connected."
    (2) Entourage: After this problem recurred several times, I decided to test Entourage, which had been working fine. I connected manually to the Internet, and with the connection holding, I tried to send a test message to myself. I then got the error message, "Your Mac OS Network Preferences are not configured to allow automatic connections" (they were, and anyway, the computer was already connected). The computer then disconnected and I got the message "The computer has disconnected because the other side is not responding."
    I've tried the following, without success: (1) Restarting. (2) Resetting Safari. (3) When neither helped, I double-checked my network configurations, as well as my account settings in Entourage, and they all seemed okay. However, each time I typed the correct password into the network configurations box, it added about 8 additional dots as soon as I checked "Apply." (I've been told that this is a security feature, but it hasn't happened in the past.)
    I then checked the settings using the Apple Network Diagnostics program that Safari offers. ND verified that the modem, modem settings, and ISP settings were okay, but that "Network Settings failed," "Internet failed," and "Server failed." Since the network settings looked right, I don't know what, if anything, this means, or whether the problem comes from something else.
    Thanks for any suggestions anyone has.

    Mandita 3 and Virtual Canary: Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. If you're still tuning in, in my case the problem of random disconnects on the USB external modem seems to have been resolved by simply switching USB ports on the MacBook.
    I talked yesterday to an AppleCare "product specialist"--ie, a level 2 techie--whom I had requested to take me through an Archive and Install of OS 10.4.6 to downgrade from the 10.4.7 upgrade I had done, which I thought was causing the problem because the kernel panics (recorded in my computer's log) began happening right after that.
    He suggested that we first try the simple expedient of switching to the other port--he said that he had had this problem several times on his own computer with other USB devices, and that had done the trick; if it didn't work, we could still do the Archive and Install, but he said that "Some USB devices just turn out to be incompatible with one or the other port; it's just quirky."
    I've been testing the machine for a couple of hours and the switch seems to have taken care of the problem (to double-check, I went back to the first port once and the random disconnects after 2-5 minutes began happening again).
    I've only been testing the machine for a short time, so I can't say for sure that this works. Also, even if it does work, I'm going to call my authorized repair place and ask if the "defective" port can be repaired or replaced--it was working fine for the first 6 weeks that I had the machine, so presumably the one that still works fine could develop an allergy to the external modem, too.
    Hope this information is of use to you.

  • HT4314 mac 10.8.2 and safari 6.0.2 and pogo suddenly won't load?

    I was having trouble playing pogo minigolf, so I updated to Mac 10.8.2. I installed new java, etc. I played for about a month or two and all has been good. Now all of a sudden, pogo games won't load. It says I need Java...but that's not it. Any suggestions?

    It is because Java has another gaping hole. It was blocked. I think they have a patch, now.

  • Torch screen and keypad suddenly won't respond

    Suddenly my touch screen AND keyboard are not responding. It has not been exposed to moisture.
    Problems started yesterday.  Touch screen started working eratically, then the keyboard stopped responding.
    I've done the following with no success:
    1) pulled battery and rebooted (multiple times)
    2) ran backup from desktop, then reloaded the current OS (was already the latest version)
    3) changed batteries
    4) searched support communities for other ideas
    Problem is I can't type my password into the phone and it's turned off phone service so I can't get calls.  Touchpad works sporadically but only moves up and down, not side to side.
    Warranty expired last June.  Ideas anyone???  I really need help!

    Hello cpaSpencer
    Possibly your flex cable needs to replaced, I believe that's the cable that connects keyboard to the screen.
    I doubt its expensive to repair. Flex cables are available on ebay and many other sites.

  • IMovie 3.0.3 and iDVD suddenly won't complete burning

    I'm desperate for help. I'm using iMovie 3.0.3 and iDVD to import all of my cherished home movie from miniDV to burn it all on DVD. The first three went fine, but now I can't burn any more dvds through iDVD. The progress bar gets stuck at a significant chunk of time left, and refuses to finish the burn. I have to cancel the application everytime now. Do you think it's a software problem - that I should upgrade my operating software and upgrade to iLife or does it sound like a hardware problem?

    This is helpful for the dvd's that I've already burned, but the problem is that I can't continue burning any dvds from new video I have imported into iMovie. I'm not making multiple copies of one dvd - I'm importing footage from a series of hour-long minidv tapes. So each tape is one dvd. I've done three tapes (and three dvds) and now the process is stopping halfway through the burning process of a new iMovie.

  • I used the parental controls and now safari won't appear on the children's desktop.

    Can anybody help please?? I created a separate user account for my children so I could control their time on the computer as well as what websites they visit and now when they log in, Safari is not present on their dashboard nor can they access the internet.  Anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks.
