Wishy washy

Hi there
We have a CP3505n laserjet printer and we have all HP cartridges in it and I have run diagnostics and troubleshooting tips and it will not print well, the colours are washed out and we need to print photographs and the quality is awful. Does anyone have any ideas - do I need to clean something?
thanks
Helen

Clean the printer using the printer control panel
1. Press Menu.
2. Press to highlight CONFIGURE DEVICE, and then press Select button.
3. Press to highlight PRINT QUALITY, and then press Select button .
NOTE: If your printer has an automatic duplexer (HP Color LaserJet CP3505dn and CP3505x), go to step 7.
4. Press to highlight CREATE CLEANING PAGE, and then press Select button.
5. Remove all paper from tray 1.
6. Remove the cleaning page and load it face-down in tray 1.
NOTE: If you are not still in the menus, navigate to PRINT QUALITY using the above instructions.
7. At the printer control panel, press to highlight PROCESS CLEANING PAGE, and then press Select button.

Hi,
Each model of printer has a cleaning procedure, some can do from the printer control panel under Tools, some can do from a computer and nearly all of them can do both ways. I don't know your printer, what is it ? Please try from its control panel
(a) Touch Settings,
(b) Touach Tools
(c) Touch Clean Printheead.
Regards.

I am new to Macs and, although I like it, I still don't understand it's behavior. When would you need to provide the administrative password at boot time? Safe Mode?

Background...
I joined the Mac bandwagon about 2 months ago. I am still getting used to it, but like it so far. Last week, I activated a new Iphone on my Imac. I needed to key in my userid and password. 3 days later, my itunes account was hacked into. My itunes information was scrambled. My itunes email, home address, and password were changed. Also, they didn't use my credit card which was attached to my account to make any purchases (they deleted my card and put someone else's card on my account to buy $100 worth of gift cards). I didn't receive any emails from Apple that my password, or email were changed, but I did get 2 receipts from the Itunes Store identifiying the purchases. Apple support fixed everything, but couldn't offer any explanation on what happened, other than to say my account was "modified". I don't like coincidences.
I freely admit that I didn't do enough to protect my login credentials as I used the same userid and password on multiple sites (since corrected). I still don't know how my account was accessed. I started to wonder if there may have been a key logger installed on my Imac without my knowing it. I am pretty careful with installing software and have purchase about 15 applications, all either from the itunes store, or from other reputable sources. I have never made any in-app purchases.
I understand that to install a key logger you would need to supply the admin password, which brings me to my question....
About 4 weeks ago, my wife was using the Imac on facebook. While she was there, the Imac experienced a hard crash. We had to do push and hold the button on the back of Imac to get it to shut down and reboot. When it came up, it required the admin password, and dropped me into a mode where it wouldn't recognize the external disk drive which was attached via USB. I needed to restart the machine and everything appeared to be normal. I assumed that this was Apples version of "safe" mode, but now I am not so sure. Could a key logger have been installed during this event? Is this expected behavior after a hard reset?
I have McAfee for Mac installed and it hasn't detected any threats, but McAfee is pretty wishy-washy on it's ability to detect key loggers. I am thinking about Macscan or Little Snitch. I would do a reinstall of the OS, if I only knew how.
Any help?

your itunes accoutn have nothing to d with your computer
you can go to any computer with internet access in the world and
login into your itunes account if you have the appleID and password
the itunes account is placed on apples itunes servers

I couldn't open my iTunes and now I can't install iTunes

Hi, I couldn't open my iTunes last week. I kept getting an error message and a note saying it would send a report to apple. My friends suggested uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it so, I followed the steps from this link (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224) to uninstall iTunes. When I tried installing iTunes I got the following message "There were errors with the installation. You may want to try installing again. (Huge exclamation point) The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." I have tried a few times to reinstall and have had gotten this message every single time. Also, when I tried backing up my iTunes library incase I had to reboot my computer, everything that was purchased from the iTunes store had an error message behind it. My Amazon music was fine and copied over problem free, but my iTune music was very wishy-washy. I'm at a loss about what to do now. Does anyone know what to do?

There is a knowledge base article devoted to this already. Do you still have a technical issue you need help with?
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

In Notes, I do not have a format bar. Under views there is no option to toggle this feature on or off. How then, can I set line spacing in documents? or is there some trick to getting the format bar that they say exists?

I want to be able to adjust line spacing in the Notes program. The help menu says that there is format bar and that I can choose this spacing. I do not have a format bar. They said that you can toggle this on and off under the View menu. I have not option in my dropdown that gives me an option to show or hide the format bar. Is there a reason why my version does not seem to have this feature?

Sorry for the wishy washy response but potential YES and possibly NO. Your user data should be intact but the OS may not be able to boot. You have a backup?

Calendar that includes mileage and expenses

Ok, first of all sorry for the no response-response. I was trying to type on my phone and talk to my kids at the same time which obviously doesn't work. Here's my question. For some reason my new Vista computer doesn't have Outlook Express on it and I can't get my Curve 8330 to sync with the Yahoo calendar. I am looking for an app that is like a day planner so I can have a calendar and also track mileage and expenses. Thanks for the help.

Very ODD this feature does not exist. Other sites claimed this was an "oversight" by Apple. I tell yah, Apple has the biggest group of wishy-washy users of all time. Cannot belive how many holes there are in in iOS compared to Android. Anyways, I found that I had to download a free app call Reply to All. It does not run native in your calendar and you have to launch it seperately to reply all to an existing calendar event. This has been a feature in Touchdown for Android for years. I'm just shocked that such a commonly used feature does not exist in iOS.

Looking for newer Mobo, like the MS-7345 Platinum P-35.

Hello,
I'm thinking about upgrading my P-35 MS-7345. I really like the MSI brand. I'm going on 5 years, but because of possible GPU issues (like screen ghosting, Non-responding, and timer continues to spin, even when I make a very simple video action, like adding a transition, everything freezes and hangs, to the point of rebooting.
Some people have asked if i updraded Win7 drivers for the MSI boardw hich i'm sure i did. Some asked me to check the board for bad or damaged caps, so I checked both the GPU, and Mobo, but could not see anything. Then someone told me it could be the Power supply...really?
In looking at Video cards, Like the PNY Quadro 600 ($150.00) requires a PCi-E 2.0x16, which I have now, but the higher end cards like the PNY Quadro 2000, ($400.00) and others, reqiuire a PCI-E 3.0x16.
WISHY WASHY~ Don't know if i should wait to get a new mobo, before I buy a new card, becuz it's going to be a while. I don't want to buy the Q600 DDR3 now, to be obsolete and a non-performer compared to the Q2000 DDR5, which would be more faster, then I wonder, i7, more DDR3 memory, and a new Mobo, then use a slower DDR3? Ummmmmm.
To be honest, I like MSI, I bought my new MSI Platinum five years ago, and love it! I'd like to keep it if i could, but technology supercedes practicallity, with the newer atx case with front USB 3.0 (mine is only 2.0....if it's backward compatible, then fine.) I'd like to ahead of the game, but not if i'm going to go BROKE!
With my old build, with the mobo, Intel Quad Q6600,700W Toughpower PSU, memory,hard drives, That set me back about $1200.00.
So..... for someone like me who is not a gamer, does not overclock, wants a minimum of 32GB DDR3, 700W PSU, three SATAII hard drives, does anyone have some Mainboard choices of newer LGA 1155 or 2011 that would either of these work?
This time, I'll need the i7 (or i5) new mobo, new DDR3 memory...up to minimum 16GB, maybe 32GB, and that's that. I'll use what I can,. or give or sell this tower and everything inside to my sister.
I was only looking at these two for specs:
Z77A-G43 DDR3 1600 LGA 1155 ($ 97.00) OR
X79A-GD65 (8D) ATX DDR3 2400 ($ 291.00)
I know the MS-7345 Platinum is off the production, but is there a board out there that's similar to the MS-7345 P-35? {it's just easy to set up.}

If you already looked at X79A-GD65 (8D) and you are going for 16GB ram minimum or 32GB a Socket 2011 Core i7 would be a good choice. If you are just looking for an easy to setup system a X79A-GD45-8D would be of the same socket without any flaws but still somewhat less expensive.

Third Party Repair vs Apple Store Visit (weird situation/question)

I have a 24" intel iMac that recently went kaput. I turned it on last night and it could no longer find any startup volume. It was as if my hard drive just vanished. I tried rebooting, I tried holding the option key and booting, I tried holding c and booting, etc. to no avail. There was just no longer a hard drive. I booted from the install cd and ran disk utility, but there was no volume to repair or reformat/reinstall on, so I finally called Apple. We went through the whole troubleshooting procedure and the rep came to the conclusion that I would have to bring my iMac to the nearest Apple Store or dealer to have the hard drive replaced...
Now, here's where my situation gets a little unique and where my actual question comes in. I live close by to an Apple Store, but I am currently receiving high-dose chemotherapy and it is HIGHLY inadvisable for me to drive, let alone expose myself to mall germs for the next few weeks. I told the Apple rep about my situation and asked about having someone come to my house to repair the computer. He obliged by hooking me up with an approved third-party dealer. They will apparently call me to set up an appointment, come to my home and replace my hard drive. Now, this is great, but I had a question about this which the Apple rep could not answer and I have yet to receive a call from the third-party repair company. My question for the rep was whether or not this third-party repair company would do anything at all to attempt to retrieve the data on the defective drive. The Apple Rep said he did not know what, if anything, they would do to help me retrieve the data currently in limbo. That pretty much stinks because all of my personal info is on there, including tax returns, e-mails, photos and music. I have some backups, but definitely not everything. This is long, sorry....wow...anyway, here is my question for this board:
Would I be better off waiting and just going through the Apple Store for this process? I have AppleCare and my PowerBook, so time is not really an issue; but would they go above and beyond in the effort to retrieve my data? I have no idea what this third party is going to do, but I'll find out eventually; however, if I'm armed with the knowledge that the Apple Store will do everything they can to get my data and this third party ends up sounding wishy washy about it (or worse - they flat out say they won't do anything beyond the repair), I'll just tell them to forget it and wait until I can travel and take my iMac into the Apple Store. This information is vital because the one thing the Apple rep made crystal clear is that there is no way I will be allowed to keep the old drive, which would allow me to attempt data retrieval at my leisure.
Also, this is an additional minor question: the Apple Rep said that the old drives are destroyed when received by Apple, but can anyone here confirm this? Is it 100% assured that these drives are not just given a cursory wipe and then refurbished (if it turns out they can be fixed that is)?
Thanks for listening and any info you can provide.
Matt
iMac 24" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

"but would they go above and beyond in the effort to retrieve my data?"
It has been my understanding from reports here by other users with the experience, that the Apple stores generally charge a fee (I think $75) for transferring hard drive data - it's not part of the service that they're performing. Don't assume that before you leave without your Mac, anyone will even inquire whether or not you still have data on a drive. There have been reports from some users who simply made the assumption that data transfer would be taken care of, only to find it all gone. As for an Apple authorized dealer, I'm not sure why the situation would be any different at all. Best to use caution.

Audigy 4 mic having problems in Vista

Ok, so I have Vista Ultimate 64 bit addtion and an Audigy 4 sound card. The sound sounds great but my mic is very wishy washy when using the card. I downloaded their latest drivers and have even resulted to other types of drivers but no matter what it has the same problem or the problem is only improved slightly. Basically, when I first start the PC the mic usually doesn't work, but then randomly out of no where it will start working after awhile, but the thing is is that it will either work or it will be EXTREMELY crackily, however, even if it does work it eventually just ends up not working anyway. So basically it is really crackily and annoying or doesn't work half the time. Any help would be much appreciated.

Are you running some version of Office 2003 or 2007? On some machines no matter what operating system, certain versions of Office turn on the microphone because of an "invisible always running tray applet". A friend of mine bought a Dell laptop in 2003 that was brand new. After a few days, random gibberish would pop up on his screen in every place you could type text. We then determined that Dell's default setup always had voice recognition software always calibrating itself. Some Dell laptops even had Dragon Naturally Speaking on them with the bundle and that program was fighting with the MS Office voice/systray applet.

External HD projector DVI / Thunderbolt / HDMI ?

Hi
I have two MBPs , one vs10.5 and a recently bought one with vs 10.9 installed.
I do Video movies in HD 1920 x 1080, which I project on a large screen using an HD 1920 x 1080 projector.
With my 10.5, I connect it to the projector using a DVI to HDMI cable, and it works fine.
With my 10.9 , I connect it to the HDMI input of the projector using the Thunderbolt port to an HDMI cable via an adaptor.
The latter produces a very wishy - washy picture ... flat, dull, no contrast etc ... I can boost the settings of my rojector to get a better picture, but it still does not equals the quality of the picture I get with my 10.5 using the DVI to HDMI cable.
I am thinking of getting an adaptor to connect my 10.9 MBP Thunderbolt terminal to a DVI adaptor and then on to my HDMI cable.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation ?
Cheers and all the best for 2014
jcr

Thank you Malcolm.
As you state, they use the same signals. I bought a Display port adaptor to DVi and it is the same. I shall have the unit checked out.

Why are my iTunes sections broken?

As you can see in the picture, the sections are mislabeld and there are random strings rather that actual names. For instance, Music is listed as TV Shows in the left sidebar. Does anyone now the issue? The window ui buttons are also missing, and any popup windows have the wrong titles. I'm running the latest version of iTunes on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. There were no notable console logs on itunes startup.

I do not know how Mac OS X handles pipes.
I know that Tru64 UNIX used local network sockets. That means it acquired kernel buffers from the networking packet pool.
Again, I do not know what Mac OS X uses as the underlying layer in the kernel.
But I think it is a similar resource restriction in the kernel that is affecting your pipes. I'm guessing maybe GitX was doing something that needed the same kernel buffer resource, and as a result your pipes are starved for buffers.
I know that is a wishy-washy explanation.

Internal-Profit Center Accounts Receivables/Payables

Dear All,
Within a single Company Code, Profit Center 1 is assigned to Plant 1 while Profit Center 2 is assigned to Plant 2. To track inter-divisional revenues and costs between Profit Center 1 & 2 during stock transfer, Transfer Pricing will be activated using Profit Center Valuation in Profit Center Accounting.
Only Legal Valaution is turned on in FI. No Profit Center Valuation will be turned in FI.
We understand that Inter-divisional Accounts Receivables/Payables can be generated for Profit Centers if these Profit Centers belong to 2 different company codes.
Thus we would like to clarify if Inter-divisional Accounts Receivables/Payables can be generated in the scenario within a Company Code where Profit Center is assigned to Plant 1 while Profit Center 2 is assigned to Plant 2?
Prompt respose is appreciated!
Million Thanks in Advance!

Dear Suraj,
I realiee appreciate your prompt response.
I have been reading SAP HELP and forums. The internal-divisional AR/AP scenario between Profit Centers are usually between 2 Plants and 2 Company Codes.
We understand that we can Define Account Determination for Internal Goods Movements for P/L Accounts in PCA for Internal Revenues, Internal Change in Stock and Delivery from Profit Center.
Would you please give us some pointers where and how internal-divisional AR/AP between Profit Centers within a Company Code can be configured in IMG?
Regards

Keeping Active Window in Application top when Command-Tabbing

Let's say I'm working on several documents in Word while using a page from Firefox as a reference point. I'll type something in Word in one document (let's call it document A), Command-Tab to Firefox, look something up, then Command-Tab back to Word, expecting document A (the active window when switching away from Word) to pop up back in front of me. Instead, when I command-tab back to Word, another random window in the app is active, forcing me to Command-` until I cycle back to Document A.
This has become very annoying and time consuming; can someone please tell me if there's some kind of setting I need to flip on to make sure that the active window in one application will still be on "top" when I Command-Tab back to it?
Please don't suggest Witch unless it's the absolute only way to solve this. I gave it a try, and its reliability was very wishy-washy. Sometimes apps would show up, sometimes they'd completely disappear for no reason. I'd prefer to use something reliable.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Is this only happening in word? I've been using the tab function and don't have a problem, which suggests that it may be a setting in word.

Configure the ADMIN and CLUSTER service connections to be SSL

Can you configure the ADMIN and CLUSTER service connections to be SSL
rather than tcp?
I was wondering about the present or future ability to secure other
connection services with SSL. Can you now or are there future plans
to configure the ADMIN and CLUSTER service connections to be SSL
rather than tcp? I suppose I should add the PORTMAPPER to that list.
My primary interest is for an SSLCLUSTER service in the case where
two brokers are connected over a non-trusted network. It may
not be too difficult to secure all the services the same way, but
perhaps that is on the TODO list.
A related question is if there are plans to add SSL with client
authentication as a stronger authentication mechanism than 'simple'
username and password. I believe you could get the username from
the client certificate's DN and continue to use the same LDAP user
repository for access control. I think this is similar to the way
that BEA's Weblogic server does it.
Finally should it be possible to deploy the HTTP tunnel servlet to
a webserver (such as iPlanet Web Server) configured to do SSL with
client authentication as a work-around to get stronger authentication
with the current release of the product? Or am I perhaps missing some
obvious and important detail? :) I guess I would like to know it's been
done already or is at least possible before I try and do it myself.

3 scenarios involving SSL are:
1: JMS client <------- SSL -------> iMQ broker
2: iMQ admin <------- SSL -------> iMQ broker
3: iMQ broker <------- SSL -------> iMQ broker (i.e clusters)
(1) is currently supported in iMQ 2.0
(2) and (3) is not supported in iMQ 2.0. No concrete plans yet to support
it in the near future but we'll definitely consider doing it if we
hear a lot of demand for it.

This is on our todo list, but due to other more pressing issues we
have not been able to address it. We will continue to keep it
on our potential list of new features.
Sorry if I sound pretty wishy-washy in my responses above, but the fact
is that the things you mentioned above had to take a backseat
to other more critical features. That and the usual time/resource
constraints caused them not to be implemented.

Yes, this should be possible (although I don't believe we've tried it here).
The client authentication here is really only between the JMS client and the
web server (not between the tunnel servlet and the iMQ broker) and should
be similar in setup to any other java application talking to iPlanet Web
Server.
