What do I do when I get the message my printer is not connected? HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One

What do I do when I get the message my printer is not connected when I want to print wirelessly.? HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One.  I have a macintosh computer using snow leopard.  I have used the printer for 6 months.  Nothing has changed.  I shut off the printer and turned it on.  The internet is working altough I will turn it off and on.  What do I do next?  Thank you.

The easiest and fastest thing for you is to reset the printer to its defaults and then just install the printer again following the instructions in the manual when you received it.  If you don't have these you will find this on the HP web site.

    I have iPhoto 11 with Lion and when I try to post photos into MobileMe in Share I get the message that iPhoto is not connected to internet. Can anyone tell me how to connect iPhoto to internet?

    My solution, which is not much, is to restart iPhoto and it then connects to the Internet. This has been an ongoing unsolved problem.

  • I live out in the county where WiFi is not available.  I don't have internet either.  I have purchased the ipad2 and have been told that I can print from the ipad2 directly to the HP Officejet Pro 8500A eprint all-in-one.  Is that true?

    I would like to be able to print from my ipad2 or my iphone4 directly to a wireless printer.  I don't have WiFi at home or internet.  I am able to get my emails and use the internet thru both these at home.  Will I be able to use them to print? Any suggestions which printer?  I was told that the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A eprint all-in-one should work and wouldn't have to use a router.  I don't want to go purchase this and try to set it up if it won't work thru the 3G network.

    Apple says that it will work.

  • What does it mean when I get the message "scratch disc is full"?

    Trying to work on Photoshop and I'm getting the message, "scratch disc is full".

    Ultimately here is the deal. Like OS X and Windows do at the system level, Photoshop will grow a virtual memory scratch file on your hard drive if you don't have enough RAM to do what you are trying to do.
    That means, step 1 in preventing the scratch file is to put more RAM in the Mac so that Photoshop doesn't run out so fast and have to shove data off to the disk to make room.
    Step 2 is to put the scratch file on another disk. This is why pros have often used desktop towers, because you can put multiple disks inside them. For example, system on one disk with lots of free space, photo library on another disk so it can grow freely, and another disk that is used exclusively to hold scratch files for Photoshop and other programs that need to do the same thing like Apple Final Cut. Splitting the data streams (system, file access, scratch) like this also speeds up the machine considerably since they're not all trying to use the disk at the same time.
    The way you put the scratch file on another disk is to go into the Photoshop prefs, click Performance, and assign one of your other disks as a Scratch Disk there. (Use a fast disk, not a network or USB 1.0/2.0 disk, and partitioning your main disk will not help.)
    If you do this, you don't need to change your main disk at all, you don't need to manually move any files off of it. Because by moving the scratch file off your main disk, the 58GB of free space you have there will now be plenty.
    I used to use a PowerBook with an external monitor as a Photoshop machine, and plugged in a FireWire 800 external as a scratch disk. Even just doing that helped a lot.

  • When I try to install an App I get the message... can not connect to itunes???

    I have been trying to install APPS today and have been unable to... up to now it has been fine... but today... I get the message that "cannot connect to iTunes.  I do not know why  and how can I fix it?

    I am guessing there is an issue with the store right now considering so many people are having the same problem on different platforms. I can't access it with my iPod Touch 4th Gen, yet my wifi is working and I can access the internet using other apps, but when I go to update a couple of apps from the iPod, I get the same error message after I try to sign in to the store.

  • What do I do when I get the message "the iPod could not be restored because it is busy?

    Hi...I'm trying to restore my iPod to the orignal factory settings, but keep receiving the message that the iPod could not be restored because it is busy.

    Since it seems that you will have to erase the contents of your iPod anyway (restoring it will do that), then I would hit the problem with a bit larger hammer. Connect the iPod to your computer, and if iTunes opens automatically and shows you the iPod summary page, then disable the option to open iTunes automatically when the iPod is connected. Apply the change, if necessary, then quit iTunes. Open Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) and select the iPod from the list of disks in the sidebar. Click the Erase tab, and enter a name for your iPod. Uncheck the option for installing OS 9 drivers, and choose Mac OS Extended (not journaled) as the disk format. Click the Erase button to erase the iPod. Quit Disk Utility when the process has completed successfully. The iPod should now mount on your Desktop as a generic white-colored removable disk icon.
    Now, launch iTunes, and your iPod should be recognized as a new device. You should now be able to restore it and sync it with your iTunes library.
    P.S. Yes, I have done this with my own iPod .

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One Printer - A910a keeps getting assigned 169. ip address

    Im currently using a ubee wireless router
    my OS is Windows 7 home premium 64 bit
    My printer is able to connect to my router however it is assiged a 169 ip address, therefore my computer is unable to connect to the printer. Before I was even able to connect my printer to the network I had to disable my mac filtering on my router settings because my printer told me to do so on a wireless test report, but its been an ongoing issue where if its not the IP address its something wrong with the MAC filtering. I feel like im going in circles. Please HELP!!

    No it is not connecting to your router as the printer has an invalid IP.    What procedure are you following in the manual and the support HP web site to get connected??

  • HT201210 what does it mean when i get a message "my ipod could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible"

    iPod version shown in iTunes as "4.3.4"  (not listed in the OS drop-down associated with setting up this post.  Appeared to download the update OK but as soon as it went to install it came up with "The iPod "xxxxx" could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible"  Why and what do I do now?  I'm pretty sure it was trying to install 5.1.1

    - Are you updating clicking on the update button in iTunes?
    Try a reset. Nothing is lost.
    - Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try deleting file and try again. It is located:
    IPSW file location for Mac and Windows

    What blue bubble are you trying to turn on? If you mean that the Send button will not work, go to Settings>Messages>Show Subject Field>Off. Make sure that is set to off.
    If you send an iMessage, the texts between the devices appear in a blue bubble.
    iMessages only work between iOS devices and they are different than the standard text messages that any cell phone can send to another cell phone.
