When I try to scan a document on my MF8050cn, I get a "Connect Computer" error.

When I try to scan a document on my MF8050cn, I get a "Connect Computer" error. I am running Windows 8. My device is directly connected to the computer. I can print from the computer to the printer without issue. I get this error when using the controls on the device.
If I try to use the MF Toolbox - Scan Function controls, I get the following error message: "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'Switch To' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." When I click "Switch To", it brings me to the Windows 8 tiles screen but does not resolve the issue.
Please help!

I have just updated Acrobat to version 10.1.13. I am using a MAC Running Yosemite. When I try to scan a document, after the printer scans Adobe Acrobat quits and I get an unexpected closure error.

I have just updated Acrobat to version 10.1.13. I am using a MAC Running Yosemite. When I try to scan a document, after the printer scans Adobe Acrobat quits and I get an unexpected closure error. I am running Mac OS 10.10.1. This only started happening when I installed the update of Adobe Acrobat.

Hi MEW1,
Is the printer connected wirelessly or wired?
Go to Preferences and under categories go to > Convert to Pdf then select the Image Capture and then hit ok button.
Close Acrobat and then relaunch it and see if it helps you while you do scanning.

When I try to open a document created in Pages, I get an error message saying "[Document Name" can't be opened." I don't want to lose hours of work; has anyone else encountered this?

When I try to open a document created in Pages, I get an error message saying "[Document Name" can't be opened." I don't want to lose hours of work; has anyone else encountered this?

A few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.
Regards,
Barry

TS3988 I can log into my iCloud account on my iphone but when I try to log in on my pc I keep getting a connection error message. Any ideas?

I can log into my iCloud account on my iphone but when I try to log in on my pc I keep getting a connection error message. Any ideas?

Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

When i try to open a document in Adobe Reader, I get a "could not open" msg? Why?

When I try to open a document in Adobe, I get an error messsage: "Adobe Reader could not open 'whatever file it is' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." This only happens on some documents, but frequently. Can anyone help?

Are these Word documents email attachments that you are saving using right-click and Save Link As? It's possible that your email website has changed and instead you need to click the image or use the site's button.

Have an Epson workforce 600 worked fine until new router and Lion installed. Now when I try and scan with the all in one I get a "POWER PC APPLICATIONS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED" and my IMAC does not recognize that the Epson is a multi function printer.

Installed a new router. Installed Lion. Have an Epson Workforce 600 multi function printer. Two problems.
1. I cannot get Lion to recognize that the Epson is a multi function printer. There is no scan option on the "print/Scan" popup window.
2. When I try and use the epson scan utility I get: POWER PC APPLICATIONS ARE NOT LONGER SUPPORTED.
I have tried EPSON support with no real luck as they say it is Apple upgrades that are the problem.
Apple support was quite rude..said it was not their problem and that I should call epson. Told the I did but it made no difference just got the same reply.
Have no idea what to do.....seems I cannot find out which multi-function printers Lion supports.

Not to give you another run around, but you need new printer drivers from Epson for your printer so it works in Lion.
Now it could be that they are working on it, or that they could have decided not to provide new drivers in order for you to force upgrade.
The only thing a user can do is decide very carefully BEFORE upgrading to a newer Apple operating system, make sure that all their current hardware and software works and make a decision for themselves.
Since you upgraded to Lion, you can go back to Snow Leopard and your PPC software will work.
Do you need instructions?

When I try to watch movies on FF using Netflix I get a private browsing error preventing me from doing so even though I do not have private browsing activated/turned on. Solutions?

When I try to play a movie on Netflix I get an error telling me that Firefox's private browsing mode is restricting Netflix from storing settings on my computer.
The suggests were to click the Tools menu and select private browsing. My private browsing was not activated.
Or to click the Tools menu at the top of the browser and select Options, then Privacy and then Remember history. This setting was also as it should.
Additionally, I went into the history and made sure the permanent private browsing was unchecked and I cleared all cookies. Still Netflix is not working.
I called Netflix and they say that everything is streaming correctly from their end and it is this computer. I can watch Netflix on other computers or my TV on this network but not this computer.
I am at a loss at how to disengage private browsing when the private browsing does not appear to be engaged.

I had this problem as well, just right click on the error, and click Silverlight, go to the Application Storage tab, and check enable application storage located on the bottom left corner. Your movies should play after that. If that doesn't work uninstall then reinstall Silverlight, make FF remember history and make sure application storage is enabled on Silverlight.

When I try to open a document from a website, I get a message to "Enter name of the file to save to" - this just started now after I have used Firefox for years

But I am trying to open the document, not save it - I no longer seem to have the option to do that. Any ideas?

Does this only affect particular types of files?
I would first check whether you have "Save File" set for that document type instead of "Always Ask" in the following dialog:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
This take a few seconds to populate, then you can scroll down or use the search box there to filter the list to find the type of document that's having a problem.
If Firefox is no longer responsive to the settings in that dialog, it could indicate that the settings file which stores your download preferences has become corrupted. To reset download preferences back to defaults, try this:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Switch back to Firefox and Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old.
Restart Firefox. Hopefully now you will get the customary Open/Save/Cancel dialog when expected.
(If you had set a custom email handler, such as Windows Live Mail, unfortunately, you will need to set that up again. We can help with such things.)
Any luck?

When I try to stamp a document, a blank comment box gets added to the stamp. And then when I try to delete the comment, the whole stamp gets deleted.

Hello!
I stamped a document in Reader X with no problem. However, when I open it in Professional, a comment box is added to the stamp with my name on it. And I can't delete the comment box without deleting the whole stamp. So it's a problem in Reader, but it is in Professional, and I'd like to get it fixed in case my clients use Professional.
Thanks for your help!

Try this: Go to Edit - Preferences - Commenting and disable the option "Automatically open comment pop-ups ...".

When i try and download firefox for my HTC Hero I get a message saying "Error: Data not found."

I really would love to use FireFox on my phone, but every time I try and hit "download for Android" I get the error message. I saw there was a similar question for a different phone. Please tell me this is for a different reason! I really want FireFox!

Just to verify, I downloaded Fennec nightly for my HTC Hero, but crashes everytime I try to open :/ Hope to see a 'light' version of either FF4a or Fennec in the future for these devices.
