    That is precisely the WRONG thing to do. You should never delete, but uninstall.
    Now you need to look for, download and run the Adobe CS Cleaner tool.

  • I installed my new Apple TV and successfully completed the configuration (Wireless network, Apple ID, and others) yet I am always in the Computers and Setting page- can't move to the main page – any idea on what and how, please?

    Hello, I installed my new Apple TV and successfully completed the configuration (Wireless network, Apple ID, and others) yet I am always in the Computers and Setting page… can’t move to the main page – any idea on what and how, please?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
    Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
    Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
    If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore.

What do I need to do to download the software to this new w computer? Pleas keep answer simple. Thanks

    Hi,
    You need to upgrade driver & software for Windows 7. You can download it from the following site

  • HP 8750 Printer missing since Leopard upgrade on home wireless network

    My HP 8750gp is connected (ethernet not USB) to my BT Voyager 2100 wireless router and worked fine under Tiger. Since the upgrade to Leopard, it does not appear as an available printer. Tried re-installing drivers from Leopard DVD, HP installation cd and HP website but still does not appear. I saw a related topic which suggested you need to be logged in with Admin privaleges to add a printer, however on my iMac I am the only account and so am always logged in as Admin. The printer has also dissapeared from my MacMini which has also been upgraded. Since re-installing drivers, HP Printer Setup loads at start up each time but cannot find the printer.
    I am assuming this to be a Leopard issue (as that was the change), but could equally be a router or printer issue I guess.
    Any ideas?
    Regards,
    Andy

    For whatever reason, my printer has just started working - one moment it was not listed, the next it was. I have no idea how this miracle happened, it just did.

  • Officejet 7500A Wide Format printer connects intermitte​ntly to computer through wireless network

    I have a recently purchased Officejet 7500A printer that I would like to use wirelessly.  I have an Apple wireless router and am running Windows 7 on my computer.  The printer and computers individually connect to the network and there are no issues with the router.  The issue is with the connection between the computer and printer.  I can print things from my computer by emailing the file to the printer, but only sometimes does it work through directly printing from the software.  I have tried to scan from my computer and from the printer, but get the same error message from both that there is no communication between the printer and computer.  I suspect it is a firewall issue, but am not sure how to modify the settings to allow this communication to occur.  I have the windows firewall and have Advanced System Protector software, but have disabled the windows shield in that software.  Help?

    So do you have multiple anti-virus systems installed on your PC (even if they are not all active)?  If so, this can certainly lead to bizarre behavior.
    I would pick one system, uninstall others using their own unistallers (restarting the PC after every uninstall).
    With the one you chose to have  on your system, make sure it is updated to the latest rev.

  • Hi, I am trying to print to an HP4050n via a secure wireless network.  It prints but the default page setting sent to the printer is JIS B5.  I have to hit the "Go" to get the printer to print.  I have the correct setting in my Printer Settings (Letter).

    I am attempting to print via a wireless (secure) network to an HP4050n printer.  The document prints AFTER I choose "GO" on the printer.  It is waiting as it wants me to load the JIS B5 paper/tray.  I have the printer defined as Letter but in spite of that, it is requesting a different setting.  I am thinking that because I am using the Generic PCL setting (I also tried the HP 4/5 PCL ) it is not communicating correctly.  It does print once I get up and hit the GO button.
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    The paper size would normally be coming from the application rather than some setting in the driver. I've never seen the Generic PCL driver send a request for B5, but then I do use A4 rather than Letter and I don't have a PCL printer at home to check this. But I do think it has more to do with the application/document being printed.
    For the application that you are using, is there are a separate Page Setup menu?
    If the page and document is correctly set to Letter, you mention a wireless secure. If you mean something more than a wireless network that requires a password to access it, such as using https to connect to a remote server, then it could be settings for the shared printer queue. Although these shared printers are usually just an access point (throughport) for the remote client. Still, if you do have some additional network server for this secure wireless network, then this could be contributing to the incorrect paper size call.

  • Connect HP Printer (Laserjet 500 color M551), to 2 wireless networks.

    Hi everyone, 
    I am trying to connect the formentioned printer(*) to 2 wifi's we have in work. Let's say WNet1 & Wnet2.
    So that everyone connected in those 2 Wireless Networks, can print.
    (Details: the printer is already set up for WNet1, and is working fine. But half of us can't connect to WNet1, so we have WNet2 for that reason. The printer is "in range" for both WNetworks, that will not be an issue )
    (*): Laserjet 500 color M551

  • Deskjet 6988 printer to wireless network (Envy laptop w/ Windows 8.1)

    I've had my HP Deskjet 6988 printer for years and always had it connected to my desktop via USB 2.0 cable. I purchased a HP Envy laptop with Windows 8.1 and want to connect the printer via my home network/Belkin router, as the USB 2.0 cable that came with the printer doesn't seem to work in the Envy USB ports for direct printing . The software disk didn't work in the laptop, so I downloaded the software and utility (print and scan) software for 8.1 from the HP website.
    I ran the downloads, the setup wizard started, said "The wizard will connect to the internet and help you install the best available software for your printer." I clicked next and a window opens "Discovering device" and then another "Retrieving install device" then...nothing.  The wizard window closes. My setup manual is useless. It tells me to use the wizard on the software disk that doesn't work on my laptop (and is outdated and for the wrong OS anyhow, because it was for my desktop, which ran on VIsta.)
    I did somehow manage to get the printer installed on the laptop - I can see it under the available printers.  And if I have an ethernet cord connected directly from the printer to my router, it will print. But if I unplug the ethernet cord, it will not print. I can't keep the ethernet cord plugged in for printing, because the router is in my living room, behind the TV and my office is upstairs. I would rather not keep my printer on the living room floor by our TV, so I really need it to work wirelessly!
    My problem is - how do I get the printer added to my home network (Belkin  router). The wireless router is all set up and working - I'm actually using it right now to access the internet and post this message.
    So, my printer is installed on my laptop. The driver is the most recent, intalled today from HP.com and I don't have a software disk to use for a setup wizard.
    What are the next steps to connect my printer to the network, so I can print wirelessly? Hopefully, I've given enough information. I've read all of the help sections on HP.com customer service and none of them seem to tell me what to do.
    Thank you!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Through a lot of trial and error, I actually figured it out  myself. I did a lot of jumping around, so hopefully I remember everything I did:
    1) Install the printer driver using the disk or download.
    2) Connect the printer to the router using an ethernet cable, which looks like a big phone cord (no need to connect the printer to your laptop.)
    3) Bring up the laptop's system "search" on your laptop and in the search type "Network" then click on "Network" link to open it.
    4) You should see the printer icon listed under your computers and other devices already found on the network.
    5) Double click/tap on the printer icon and it will open the printer's "web page" in your browser.
    6) Click/tap the "Networking" tab near the top of the scren.
    7) In the left sidebar, under "Connections," click "Wireless" to open it.
    8) Start and use the wizard to enter your router information. (Make sure to give the printer a distinct name here, so you can distinguish it from any other printers listed on your laptop. For example,  I named mine "Deskjet 6988 Network")
    9) Unplug the ethernet cord from the printer.
    10) If your wireless printer doesn't show up in the list of printers when you go to print something, you have to add it:
    11) Open the laptop system search again and type "Devices and printers" and click/tap the link.
    12)   Click the "Add a Printer" link near the top. The computer will search for printers and the new networked printer should appear in the list (Hint: it wil have an IP address listed under "Address" column rather than a file.)
    13) Add the networked printer and run the test print to make sure it works. Make it your default printer and can delete any of the other 6988 printers listed if you want to. 
    14) You should now see your networked printer in the list of printers when you go to print something.
    Hope that helps someone else some day!

  • Trying to download driver for printer but unable to find device on wireless network

  • C410 Wireless Printer keeps loosing its connection to my wireless network in Windows 7

    HP C410 Photosmart all-in-one wireless printer
    on a HP pavilion p6000 Desk top running Windows 7, with all the latest updates
    Every 3 or 4 weeks, the printer has to be reinstalled or I connect to the router with an either net cable,
    Currently the Desk Top can not find the printer on the net work, I have disabled the firewall, The printer is connected to the net work but I can't print thru the net work. I fixed the issue by using a trouble shooter that said I was missing a driver, but now I can't find the trouble shooter, and the HP trouble shooter is little to no help. I have used HPHNDU, which can't find the printer, but it can find the network, I have also tried HPPIW, and it is of no help. Lastly I have used the HP printer install Wizard and it has me deleting the printer and then it can't find the priner so you click the next button and you delete the printer again, ...
    Any assistance will be much appreciated, cause it is now a wired printer.

    ITried all the suggestions and downloads and I still have toconnect thru a wire. When the Desktop is performing the Network discovery and check, it says it can't find the Printer on the net work, yet the Network test report  has passes in all the categories and the signal strength  as excellent, so I guesithastoremain a wired connection. Because the next comment is its windows 7 tha is having the issue. Thanks for the suggestions they did not work...

  • Intermittent Print/Scan Problems with Canon MF8380Cdw on Wireless Network

    For nearly a year now, I've experienced problems printing and scanning using the Canon MF8380Cdw on our network.  The most troubling are the intermitent problems getting the printer to respond during a print job after the device has been found on the network.  Less troubling but still annoying are the problems scanning: it's very difficult to initiate a scan job.  It usually requires trying to initiate the job from the printer AND from the computer in quick succession.  I have reinstalled drivers many times.  Why isn't printing and scanning effortless?
    Print sequence messages in the Canon MF8300C Series print manager:
    Printing - Looking for printer: takes a long time.
    Printing - Connecting to printer: takes a long time.
    Printing - The printer is not responding: takes a long time; indicates failure.
    Some information that may help:
    The client software correctly identifies the printer's IP address.
    The wirless router is an Apple Airport Extreme Basestation.

    Canon MF8300C Series driver, version 10.0.0

    Base station, laptop, and printer are all in the same corner of the same room--signal strength is not an issue. Have had problems, previously, when printer was connected to switch via ethernet.  So...  Nice thought, but I don't believe that's it.
    Other things that didn't work: restarting printer, restarting computer.
    Is it possible that OS updates mess with the driver, requiring reinstallation?  Our PC users do not seem to have these issues.
    I am also using a non-UFR II driver this time, but per a suggestion from a forum, I tried UFR II previously.  I have read many forum exchanges involving Canon/Mac problems and have tried several solutions proposed by PAHU.
    Reinstalled printer driver again today, and I can print again (for now), but it's an intermittent problem, likely to return.
    Thoughts?
