Weird Media Connection Issue

I am capturing some material for a project I was working on a few months ago, and just reopened to capture more footage. Some of what I captured needs to be cut into a sequence. When I open the sequence, I'm missing some audio clips, they're offline. When I go to reconnect them, Final Cut as it normally does suggests the previous location that's somehow been changed. Except this time, FCP is telling me the location is:
JNH 2:.Trashes: 501:
JNH 2 is the name of the drive. All the other media connects there and has no issues. First of all I don't know what Trashes: 501 is, secondly, I have a backed up drive with all the media, so if i cant figure this out i'll bust out the other drive and search for it on there. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever gotten this kind of weird seemingly non existant location of "trashes: 501" and what it means.
Thanks!

Trashes: 501 is a normally invisible folder that might contain your files (or not).
You can make invisible folders and files visible by renaming them to remove the period before the name. That's what flags them as invisible.
But first, you need to be able to see the files. That's where [Xray Vision|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/xrayvision.html] comes in.
It is quite simple to use, just locate the trashes folder, select it and choose Rename from the Tools menu. Probably best to make it invisible again, once you are done mucking around in that folder.

  • Weird Media File Issue

    Powerbook G4 17" -- Mac OS X 10.4.10 -- FCP 5.0.4
    Has this ever happened to anyone else?
    I've been having trouble capturing to one of my external hard drives, so I recently decided to just capture to my other external drive and copy the files. So I did that...I captured all of the media for my project on the one drive ("Drive A"). Once it was all captured, I copied all of the files from "Drive A" to "Drive B". In FCP, I used the Reconnect Media option to link the clips in my project to the media files on "Drive B". There are 12 total clips (with 12 corresponding media files), and here's where it gets weird: The "Mismatch" error pops up, saying that the Media Start and End of one or more clips don't match the files. If I click on "Try again", it shows that four of the 12 are coming up with errors. I don't understand how these files can have any different properties from the files on "Drive A", as I copied them directly from one to the other. I haven't modified the files in any way! Since I have not yet deleted the original files from "Drive A", I decided to try (out of curiosity) to import said files from "Drive B" into the project bin so I could compare side-by-side the Media Start and Media End properties. To my surprise, the Media End is different! By just under two seconds on each clip! Now, how can this property have changed, just by the act of copying the file from one drive to the other? I'm really puzzled by this. Anybody have any clues?

    you should definitely be very careful after getting this message.
    We got it when we accidentally tried to shift clips from 23.98fps timelines to 24fps or vice versa.
    When it was video, the problem was obvious: a missing frame at the end of each clip. But with the audio, FCP actually interpreted the media file differently, reading a different part of the file than before!
    So check all the clips for which you had this message to make sure they're still in sync.
    Even though all our machines are working in 23.98 now (including captures settings, sequence settings etc.), we are still experiencing this problems when sending projects back and forth (our production takes place in different studios). Some sound files (but not all of them) reconnect with this problem, which makes it almost impossible to transfer the exact sound edit.
    If anyone has more information about this "Media Start and End" alert, please let us know. I saw other people having this problem in other forums, but no solution for the moment.
    Thanks

  • WRT54G weird wireless connection issues

    Hi
    I have recently encountered a problem with my wireless setup.
    I have WRT54G ver 7 router. I am using it with my wired PC and wireless Dell D620 with Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG adapter.
    Both the router and laptop are less then a year old (I bouth them about at the same time). And worked well more or less for all this time.
    My settings are : WEP2 personal with AES.
    Yesterday however the wireless connection was lost and I couldn't connect anymore. I haven't changed any network settings or got any new devices. The wired connection works the same way, without a problem.
    I tried reseting the router and changing its channels to (1/11)its settins to :
    Transmission Rate: 54 Mbps
    Beacon Interval: 50
    Fragmentation Threshold: 2306
    RTS Threshold: 2304
    I tried also getting the latest firmware upgrade for the router, however didn't find any available.
    The situation is weird because sometimes I can connect to it, and sometimes not. It also gets lost after a few minutes but still shows that I am connected.
    Today the situation became even worst. I did restart this morning and I can't see the network anymore (there are other networks nearby I can see them, but mine is not visible (although the Wireless SSID Broadcast is enabled and yesterday it worked !) I can however connect to it somehow with my prevously saved profile, but it also gets lost after some time.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Yes it is possible.
    Anyway today I tried to update intel drivers and the app just hang when it tried to remove the old version. So I terminated it, now however the patch doesn't install and I can't install/repare/remove old version of drivers some how . Currently I am using only windows to manage wi-fi.
    I had already made a unique SSID and broadcast is also on. I also doesn't have any wireless devices and the router is though close to the computer still I think is fairly far from it and is about 1.5 m heigh from the ground.
    I did a little research on the network with utility called "Network stumbler".
    I can usually find 5 different networks including mine:
    2 of them are using channel 6 the other ones are using channels 1 and 2 . So I have set channel 11 ( I have tried it before and others too without much of a luck )
    Anyway the program shows the current parameters for my network:
    SNR = 43
    Signal+ = -57
    Noise- = -100
    SNR+ = 43
    Signal = -57
    To compare with the other most strongest network somwhere nearby on channel 6:
    SNR = 35
    Signal+ = -62
    Noise- = -100
    SNR+ = 38
    Signal = -70
    I am not sure what to do with intel drivers. I have already spent quite some time and don't want to spend more time trying to fix software problems.

  • Weird printer connection issues

    using the HP Photosmart B110 windows XP off desktop computer. linksys router, WAG160N If my computer is on and then i turn the printer on, the computer doesn't see the printer. the printer is connected to the network (and prints the test sheet to prove it) i have to restart the computer, and then they see each other. however, that was annoying, i was able to deal with it. now, i've just scanned a picture, and after saving it, they can no longer see each other! turning the printer off then on never solves this. i'm sure turning the computer off and then on will continue to let me scan one thing at a time but that is unacceptable! any help would be much appreciated.

  • SFTP connection issue with Dreamweaver 2014

    I have a very weird SFTP connection issue with Dreamweaver CC (2014). I am on a Mac running 10.9.4 and have no problem connecting to my server through SFTP with Dreamweaver CS 6. However, using the exact same settings on CC (2014), I get the following error: "An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. Your login or password is incorrect. Please check your connection information".
    I am truly at a loss here. Command line connection works without problems.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi there,
    Try after rebooting your system or in a different user account on MAC.
    Is there any limit with number of login sessions with your SFTP?
    Could you check with Filezila or similar FTP client and connect to your site, see if you get any error there?
    Thanks.

  • WRT610N v1 connection issues, media center and internet

    Good evening. I am having a connection issue with my wireless/wired connection and am wondering if anyone else has had the issue.
    I am running the following
    WRT610N V1
    Firmware Version: 1.00.03 B15
    Windows 7 Enterprise Edition
    I have an Xfxforce 780i motherboard with onboard dual 1gb nics plugged into the router.
    I am also using an Xbox 360 Wireless N device.
    The issue i have been having recently are two, both seem to be router related.  Sometimes while gaming or on the web I will losing connection to my gateway. I have both of my nic mac addressed reserved in the router.  On my windows 7 machine the internet connection will stop working and I will have to repair the connection. 
    The issue i have been experiencing with my Xbox 360 is sever choppiness while streaming recorded tv shows over my network
    For the most part while I am streaming the video's i am doing nothing else, it should be noted that i can watch the vidoes on the PC without an issue so the issue shouldn't be pc related.  I initally though maybe resource related but the vidoes run fine on the pc.  Restarting has no effect.
    I did do a hard reset on my router but that did not solve the issue.  The issue is semi random but the frequence is fairly higher.  Sometimes I will get through a full show or two and sometimes the quality of the steam will be horried. Where pausing and restarting won't do anything.
    I have used a direct wired connection and I still get the video degredation so I believe the issue is my access point.
    For the price that i paid for this unit, $200 - yes i did say 200 as it is a V1 model and i got it when they came out, this is one of the worst issue I have ever had.  
    I am going to test a netgear 54g tomorrow night to see what experience I get.
    I did some poking on the forum here and I noticed others have had some degredation issue but nothing seem to solve it even though their threads are marked as solved.  I have tried turning off windows 7 firewall and disabling my AV to make sure those weren't the issue, which they aren't.
    It should be noticed that my machine is the following and I am fairly sure the issue isn't pc hardware related.
    win7 pro
    xfx force 780i 
    intel e8500 dc 3.16
    evga nvida 9800 gtx ssc
    seagate dual 250gb raid 0 hard drive
    4gb g.skill pc8500 ram.
    I am adding more ram later this weekend to take it to 8gb and a new 1tb drive to transfer my media center data too. I do not believe this will fix my issue since the only issue I can see is the Linksys router.
    thoughts?

    Try these things, in this order:
    1. Disable Home Defender. 
    If that does not work, try
    2. Reducing MTU to 1300 (recommended by someone else on here for a throughput issue). This may not be relevant to you, but it doesn't hurt to try. MTU settings don't generally apply to in-network connections. But who knows what's what when it comes to this router.
    3. Disable Upnp. Some people, like myself find this setting necessary - but you may want to just go ahead and disable to see if that helps.
    4. You need to remove the name of the competing product (that router) from your post. I got banned from the forum for a few days for mentioning that I was using so and so router for the time being. Do it before the post is deleted or you're banned. 
    Good Luck. Let us know if anything here fixes your problem.
    Remember that you'll need to give the router 'time' with each fix separately. Don't  do all 3 things. Do 1 at a time and give the router a few days, to feel out if the solution works or not.
    Good Luck. 

  • Weird USB connectivity poroblem with 5230 and Micr...

    I've been encountering a weird issue with my 5230: whenever i try to connect via USB the phone will ask me which connection mode i want but it will never connect.
    Trying to figure out what's wrong i noticed that whenever i plug the usb cable in all apps and themes installed to the MicroSD card stop working.
    So, i tried plugging the phone in without a microSD card inserted and it worked perfectly.
    I'm using a Kingston 8gbMicroSDHC card, and a CA-101 cable from Nokia. My PC is a custom build running Win7 Ultimate 64 bit. My phone is a Nokia 5230 RM-594 on firmware 20.2.005

    Hello @nbundy6 ,
    Welcome to the HP forum.
    I understand that you are having a connection issue.
    I would like to help.
    You have done quite a lot in regards to the USB connection and software.
    Have you tested the printers hardware?
    If the printer has a hardware issue, no amount of software trouble shooting will fix the printing problem.
    The easiest way is to make a copy.

  • N1KV - Connectivity issues

    Hi all,
    I  am trying to bring up my first N1KV in a lab environment and I am  having some weird connectivity issues. Hope someone can help !!
    I've  been working together with our VM team and we have the following  installed and configured. We have ESX 4.1 installed on an HP DL360 G7  with 4 NIC's and the VMNic's are assigned as follow.
    -  vmnic0 to vSwitch0 with the following portgroups (Service Console,  N1KV-Control, N1KV-Mgmt, N1KV-Packet and VMKernel) and all portgroups  are in the same VLAN.
    - vmnic1 to vSwitch1 for vMotion traffic
    - vmnic2 to vSwitch2 for VM data
    - vmnic3 to vSwitch3 for VM data
    I  have VSM and VEM version 4.2(1)SV1(4) installed on the same ESX host  and connected to vCenter with the following port-profile and svs-domain  configured. I am using L3 mode for VSM and VEM communication I believe  this is what Cisco recommends going forward.

    Here is my problem:
    When  I move vmnic0 to the system-uplink port-profile with N1KV-Control,  N1KV-Mgmt, N1KV-Packet map to System-Console port-profile, and VMKernel  maps to L3vmkernel port-profile, all seems to work fine at this point. I  can see the VEM comes online and all is good. But when I start moving  the second vmnic over (either vmnic1, vmnic1 or vmnic3 don't matter) all  hosts got disconnected, vCenter shows all hosts disconnected. And the  only way to bring the environment back is to log into ESX and run ESX  commands to delete and recreate the vmnic's then map them back to  vSwitch.
    Has  anyone ran into this issue before ? Could it be that vmnic is assigned  to the vSwitch that you can't move it over to the N1KV ?
    Thanks in advance !!! I appreciate any inputs / suggestions !!!

  • Distance-sensitive Wired Connection Issue

    My 2009 Macbook Pro (Snow Leopard) seems to have a distance-related connection issue for wired Ethernet connections. I can connect the MBP directly to my router and have no problems. I have problems, however, when trying to connect to some outlets connected to longer cable (CAT5) runs. Other computers, both Macs and PCs, can connect fine to the same outlet. The Network Diagnostic for the MBP shows "No Cable Connected". With respect to the Linksys router, it either shows no lights for the connected outlet or sometimes shows all three lights blinking on and off simultaneously (a normal connection shows two lights continuously on and a blinking third activity light). I can connect the MBP to some ethernet outlets, most (but not all) of these have somewhat shorter cable runs (my best guess is that no run in the house exceeds 200 feet).
    I have tried all the usual suggestions: toggling the router power, manually configuring ethernet, deleting and adding the ethernet connection, etc.
    I have gone to the Apple Store and, no surprises, everything works fine. I am posting to see if anyone has any Ethernet settings suggestions or can direct me to a way of somehow measuring the signal level on the non-working outlets.

    I have seen some weird things happen with newer Mac hardware and older Cat5 cables, even those that work with other hardware. Are you sure that those other wired connections are at maximum speed?
    The best thing to do often seems to use a new Cat6 ethernet cable.

  • Zen touch connection issues with Creative softw

    I?ve updated my Zen touch to the play for sure drivers and since I?ve done this the creative software does not recognise when the ZT is connected (Nomad explorer). However windows media player and HMV digital do recognise the connection and allow me to sync songs to the payer. I?ve tried loading the ?Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative Zen Touch Players? update, but this doesn?t work as it won?t recognise my ZT as connected during the installation! I?m running WMP and IE7 on my computer and have already tried the registry change mentioned to solve connection issues but this doesn?t help either.
    Any suggestions or anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks

    Sounds like an incompatibility with the card, which is surprising as NEC cards are usually no problem. There are various things to try as mentioned in the FAQ post (search on "connection problems") but I think you need to focus on making sure you have the latest drivers for the card, as well as the player itself.

  • Resolve a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep

    Hi,
    In the recent release for Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 "Resolving a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep" was supposed to be resolved, not so at my end. Has anyone else encountered the same issue and if so will there be a resolve.
    Thank you

    Hello BGreg and thank you for your answer,
    I have alreadty read about this solution, and tried it.
    I downloaded the 1.2 Go file, and applied it. And repaired permissions.
    Everything went fine.
    Unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem.
    Meaning that when iMac wakes up, it doen't join my WiFi network.
    I have to do it manually.
    I don't know what to do : it is very strange because I never had that problem with OS 10.7.2 !
    And my network setup has never changed.
    another info :
    I noticed that in the network setup screen, when I want to close the little lock to restrain further modifications, it won't close. Weird !
    Do you think I should call Apple Assistance ?

    DEVICES:
    4 x iPhone 6 Plus
    1 x iPhone 6
    4 x iPad Air 2
    1 x iPad Mini 2
    3 x iPad 4

    iOS 8.1.3 >> iOS 8.2  (all devices)
    VEHICLES:
    2 x 2009 Mercedes-Benz E350
    1 x 2012 Mercedes-Benz GL450
    (will test 2008 Lexus LS600hL &  2015 LX570 later this week)
    After weeks of reading about iOS 8.2 issues and how iOS 8.2 is supposed to contain a certain vague BT fix, I thought it was finally safe to risk another iOS update to fix my long-standing car Bluetooth issue with iOS 8.1.3.  I WAS WRONG!
    Upon updating to iOS 8.2, we noticed that our existing Bluetooth issue (started since iOS 8.0.x) was still present.  Ever since iOS 8.0.x, we have had the very annoying Bluetooth issue of call audio cutting in & out when connected.  After further research and testing, we determined that the cause may be that the iPhone (iOS 8.0.x and above) actually randomly disconnects and reconnect with the car's BT every 10-120 seconds, thus interrupting the audio through Bluetooth… however this behavior is difficult to detect without active Bluetooth call/audio going through the speakers.
    Unfortunately, we also noticed that IOS 8.2 ADDED NEW BLUETOOTH PROBLEMS to the mix!  With iOS 8.1.3, we could stream audio (I.e. Pandora, iTunes Radio, Rhapsody) at higher quality perfectly.  Right after the iOS 8.2 update, everyone suddenly noticed that the audio from Pandora or other streaming music apps would briefly pause or skip & stutter every few seconds.  We lowered the audio quality to "Good" instead of "Better" or "Best" but that did not make a difference ("Good" is around 64 kbps).  At the same time, we did a speed test and found the 4g connection at that time was 6.8Mbps down… more than enough to stream a 64kbps signal without constant stuttering/buffering. Tests with devices still on iOS 8.1.3 show this is an isolated iOS 8.2 problem (the device streamed Bluetooth audio perfectly… was updated to iOS 8.2… Bluetooth audio was tested again and now exhibited the stuttering problem).
    I hope Apple is going to fix this issue in iOS 8.3 or sooner... more and more people seem to have this (or variations) issue, and many others also are affected, probably haven't noticed (yet).
    UPDATE 3/30/2015: After today’s preliminary testing with the vehicles above, this is what I found:
    OUTGOING CALLS:  In iOS 8.1.3, after much research and testing I have determined that the iPhone’s Bluetooth drops connection with the vehicle periodically, then immediately reconnects again, resulting in several seconds of audio silence on both ends of the call (same behavior as if you’re going through a cellular “dead zone”… but you’re not).  With iOS 8.2, Bluetooth still exhibits the same issue, but now with an increased frequency.  (NOTE: Unpairing & repairing Bluetooth connections as well as Resetting All Network Settings did NOT solve this problem… as other Internet posters, forums, and articles can tell you.)
    INCOMING CALLS:  In iOS 8.1.3, incoming calls suffered the same issues as outgoing calls (see above), but didn’t exhibit any other Bluetooth problems with my vehicles.  With iOS 8.2, Bluetooth issues for incoming calls are now significantly WORSE! Approximately 75% of all incoming calls will ring twice, then drop (i.e. “Call Failed”).  90% of the time, the incoming call ring won’t transfer to Bluetooth audio (instead only ringing on your handset).  (NOTE: Unpairing & repairing Bluetooth connections as well as Resetting All Network Settings did NOT solve this problem… as other Internet posters, forums, and articles can tell you.)
    STREAMING AUDIO/MUSIC:  In iOS 8.1.3, Bluetooth audio/music streamed fine from my iPhone to my vehicle, even with 3+ Bluetooth devices connected simultaneously.  My vehicle’s Bluetooth does not support Bluetooth audio, so I have installed a Kinvo BTC450 Hands-Free Car Kit (aptX) to play streaming audio through my vehicle’s speakers.  The only issue I had was that the iPhone does NOT allow manual selection of assigning specific Bluetooth devices specific functions unlike Android 4.0.4 and above (for example, with Android I could assign incoming/outgoing call functions & audio to my car Bluetooth, and streaming media audio to my Kinvo BTC450… with iPhone iOS 8.2 and prior you cannot do that so the phone Bluetooth fights to assign incoming/outgoing call functions & audio to one of the two devices… usually the one that boots up the fastest).  With iOS 8.2, not only is this problem still here, but now if you have 3 or more Bluetooth devices connected (not only paired) simultaneously, then it is as if the iPhone has to buffer streaming audio every few seconds, which will pause or stutter the audio feed to the Kinvo BTC450 (or whatever Bluetooth device you use).  This happens with ALL streaming audio feeds, whether it’s Pandora, iTunes Radio, Rhapsody (although it occurs less frequently with some apps than others). After unpairing and re-pairing my iPhone to the device, suddenly ALL AUDIO DID NOT WORK!  After doing this several times, I resumed driving in silence… then after about 15 minutes all of a sudden the streaming audio (Pandora which I didn’t pause) started streaming through my car speakers again (although the stuttering/pausing audio issue was still present). Resetting All Network Settings did not have an effect on this problem either.  (NOTE: Unpairing & repairing Bluetooth connections as well as Resetting All Network Settings did NOT solve this problem.  This problem is only solved by connecting only 1-2 devices simultaneously and preventing any more devices from connecting as other Internet posters, forums, and articles can tell you.)
    MY RECOMMENDATION:  If you use multiple Bluetooth devices simultaneously with your iPhone/iPad (especially 3 or more)… then AVOID iOS 8.2 AT ALL COSTS!  If you already upgraded (as I have), then from what I understand it’s too late to downgrade to iOS 8.1.3 since Apple doesn’t “sign” that firmware anymore… so your choices are either to live with iOS 8.2 or jailbreak... or switch to another phone manufacturer.  If you don’t use Bluetooth or connect to multiple devices simultaneously (i.e. smartwatch, car Bluetooth, 3rd party car kit, radar detector, portable speaker, headphones, portable keyboard, etc) then iOS 8.2 may work OK for you. Hopefully iOS 8.3 will solve these Bluetooth issues… but based on Apple’s track record I wouldn’t hold my breath.
    UPDATE 4/2/15: Tonight I tried to stream Bluetooth audio from Pandora and Rhapsody through my UE Boom.  I had my Pebble Steel, Panasonic 6.0 DECT Link-to-Cell Cordless Phone System, and UE Boom connected via Bluetooth at the time.  Bluetooth audio skipped 1-2 times per second.  This issue is getting very frustrating... to the point where I want to throw my iPhone in the trash.

  • HP PhotoSmart 7510 suddenly has severe connectivity issues

    I have a HP PhotoSmart 7510 printer since about 2 months. Initial setup worked like a charm and the printer has been working pretty much perfectly for the last 2 months. Wireless printing, scanning and internet access on the printer (e.g. for Facebook photos) all worked. Just from time to time i would get the occasional (mildly annoying) message on my computer saying "scan to computer is currently unavailable" but it usually worked itself out and whenever I needed it to work, it did work.
    But since a few days ago, it has some severe connectivity issues. I didn't change any settings on the printer, router or computer - the issues just started appearing by themselves. I startet getting much more frequent messages on my computer saying "scan to computer is currently unavailable". I noticed I couldn't print anymore, and restarting computer, printer and/or router didn't help at all. The only thing so far i managed to print wirelessly since the problems started were the first 5 pixel rows of an image I tried to print, the rest didn't transmit.
    It seems the printer still connects to the WLAN but printing and scanning no longer work, and whenever I try to access a web service on the printer (like Facebook) it says it has no internet connection, even though the WLAN light is lit up (not blinking) and all the wireless status reports say "congratulations, no problems found" and display IPs etc. just like normal.
    I looked at the threads "PhotoSmart 7510 connects to router, but not to the web.", "Wireless printer (HP Photosmart 7510) not connecting to network" and "Photosmart 7510 won't connect to Web Services" but they weren't a big help. Activating EWS didn't work because even though the printer showed its IP address to be 192.168.1.3, when I entered this in my web browser it didn't find the printers configuration page.
    I tried the following steps from one of the threads:
    1. Restore the Network defaults
    2. Unplug the printers power cord while it is still on. Leave it unplugged and walk to the router.
    3. While the router is still on, unplug the power cord from the router, leave it unplugged for 30 seconds, then reconnect the power cord to the router. Once plugged back in the router should power on automatically.
    4. Plug the power cord back into the printer. Once plugged back in the printer should power on automatically.
    5. Run the Wireless Setup Wizard to reconnect the printer to your wireless network.
    6. Try enabling Web Services.
    I followed these steps exactly. Interestingly, even though I had done step 1 and restored the network settings to factory defaults, after turning back on, the printer somehow still had its old settings saved and reconnected to the network.
    It seemed to have fixed the problem, the printer finally had internet access again (Facebook app showed my photos) and scan to computer found my PC. But after just about 3 minutes, the printer had lost its internet connectivity again. When opening the Facebook app, it displayed the same error message it did before. And printing no longer worked as well.
    So, what is wrong with this printer?! It has the newest software update by the way (I checked during the 3 minutes it had internet access.) My computer is a HP Windows 7 x64 machine (EliteBook 6930p) and the router I'm using is a Netgear WNDR3700.
    I specifically bought this printer for my studies at university. In one week i have my exams and in order to study I REALLY need to be able to print some of my course materials! So any help as quickly as possible would be greatly appreciated. Or do you think this is a case for a warranty replacement, considering the printer's really strange and error-prone behavior?
    Thanks a lot!

    I can assure you that it is not a router issue.  It appears to me that it is a driver compatibility with Windows OS.  After trying to get to the bottom of this since my Photosmart 7525 was new and reading just about every forum and blog, I have come to the conclusion that the issue must be related to the HP driver itself.  
    The issue does not seem to affect any Mac systems, and from one forum someone was able to fix it by downloading new drivers compatible with 64-bit systems (which seem to not be affected by the glitch).  But that leaves us 32-bit people stuck with the current driver which does not work.
    The printer is connected with good signal to the wireless router (no matter who's router it is and what configuration is made).  The printer can be pinged from the router and any computer on the network which is not currently being affected by this issue.  However, the affected computer fails pings by either request timed out, or destination host unreachable.  Pings are successful from the affected computer to any other device on the network.  The only way to recover (at least for a few days) is to reboot the affected computer.
    Also, from the display on the 7525, the network tests pass without issue.  I can also download and print content from the internet with no issues.  
    Please do a quick google search of this issue and you will see several THOUSAND entries of people with the same request.  This is a serious issue that people are having and everything is pointing to an HP problem (not routers, improper installation of software or drivers, etc...).  I agree with several other customers that HP should be on the hook for this fix.  I will give it another couple weeks, then back to the store for a reliable unit from another competitor (Canon, Lexmark, etc..)
    Thank you in advance for escalating this issue to product engineering,

  • Connection doctor and connection issues

    I have nothing blocking  my internet connection, however mail is a nightmare for me. I continually receive connection issues via the connection doctor for imaps, pops, and icloud.
    Are my settings wrong? I have checked with each of the settings and they are set per instructions provided. Some are google, some yahoo, icloud, etc.
    This is really annoying and I could really use some help.
    Here is a typical message: Could not connect to this Google IMAP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the 'Use SSL" checkbox in the Advanced tab of Account Preference"
    I have done all of this and am still having troubles.
    I am also receiving SMTP connection issues - "Trying to log into this SMTP account failed. Verufy that the username and password are correct."
    I have checked and all are correct. Even more confusing, these issues are not present all the time - however I have not changed anything between when times are good and bad.
    Sigh - I hope someone has an idea to help me out.
    Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts.

  • Excel ODBC Connection Issues

    I'm having some issues importing external data from an Oracle 9i database.
    Here is what is happening:
    I am initially able to import data from the table I want to into Excel.
    I do this through "Data -> Import External Data -> New Database Query" where I have my .ORA data source. I'm able to log in using my user and password and import the table. My problems come after I import this first set of data.
    If I try to "Edit Query…" I get an error box that says "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed".
    If I try to "Refresh Data" I get two error boxes. The first is just: "[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]" and the next says: "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed". It then prompts me for the User name and password of the DB I'm connecting and after I enter the information, I get the same two error messages.
    Also, if I attempt to establish another connection following the "Data -> Import External Data…" steps I run into a different problem. Upon entering the information for the User Name and password prompt I get two error messages. One says "!" and the next box says "Couldn't read this file". Once I click "OK" in those boxes, the Microsoft Query window automatically opens with nothing in it.
    I can't seem to figure out why I can initially pull down data and then cannot succeed afterwards. I'm unable to connect to the DB I have through Excel until I completely closed all Microsoft Excel instances.
    I also use this data source in Microsoft Access without any problems.
    My Excel version is 2003.
    I'm using Oracle Drivers I'm using are from an "Instant Client" package.
    Any thoughts why I'm having these connections issues?
    Thanks in advance.

    This issue is closed.
    The solution was:
    "Data -> Import External Data -> Import Data"
    Select "New Source" and select the "Oracle" data source and filled in the appropriate information. This was similar to the database query but it actually works.
