Yellow/green lines through Photos and sometimes on color headlines
Hi All. Would like to know if anyone out there knows how to fix my problem. I have an HP OfficeJet 8500 all in one printer/scanner/fax. I do newsletters for a non profit org with photos and colored headlines. I am now getting a yellow-light green line through all photos and sometimes headlines. Mostly in the headlines its the underline..instead of being maroon which its supposed to be, its yellow/green. On the same page that a photo is on, the text box next to it is fine! I have done all the printer alignment, cleaning printhead, etc. These printheads are new. Only installed them about a month ago and haven't done that much printing. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it. I need to do a newsletter and now I have two printers that aren't working!
HELP! Thanks so much. Pat
I think I found the answer to my own problem. Maybe it can help someone later. Since I figured this might be a print head problem and I had just installed new print heads, I thought maybe one of them might be clogged. So, I put the print head into a ziploc bag and shook it a few times. I only do one at a time because it sprays ink. I then got another bag and put the other print head into it and shook it. Replaced them back into the printer and it worked!!! My yellow green lines are gone and now it works fine. I had purchased these print heads on E-Bay about a year ago and had them here just in case I needed them. Not sure if that had anything to do with it, but, maybe from sitting so long, they clogged. Just a guess. But, this worked and if anyone else has this problem, its worth a try.

iPhoto library is on external HDD
I was in a slideshow, with around 1,911 photos in it. About halfway through, my Macbook ran out of battery. Now when I restarted and charged the Macbook and reopened iPhoto, the slideshow won't advance through photos, and I can't figure out any reason why it would do this.
I thought it may be corrupted, so I deleted and reinstalled iPhoto library, iPhoto itself, and disconnected and reconnected my external HDD.
This didn't work, the photos still won't advance.
I don't know any reason why this would be happening, and there is ample space on my internal drive.
I'm happy to provide more information if needed!
Many Thanks,
JamesMake a few tests, James, to narrow down the problem and find out, if the slideshow is corrupted, your iPhoto Library, or settings in your account.
To test, if only your slideshow has a problem, create a new slideshow, just for testing. Just use "File > New Slideshow" and add a few photos. Does this slideshow play correctly?
If the test slideshow does not play either, create a new iPhoto Library. Use the File menu in iPhoto: File > Switch to library > Create New. Import a few photos and create a slideshow. Does it play?
If even a new library does not solve the problem, test in a different user account (see this document: Isolating an issue by using another user account - Apple Support):
This process involves creating a new user account, logging in to it, and testing for the issue.
Create a new standard or admin user account in Users & Groups preferences.
Use these instructions for OS X Mavericks.
See these instructions for OS X Mountain Lion.
See this video, or these instructions for OS X Lion.
Optional: If you have any specific files you wish to test with, copy (don't move) those items to the /Users/Shared folder in the Finder.
Log out of your current user account by choosing Log Out from the Apple () menu.
Log in with the new account you created.
Attempt to reproduce the issue you were seeing in your regular user account.
After you have completed testing, log out of the test account by choosing Log Out from the Apple () menu.
Log in as your regular account.
After you have completed all testing with the test user account, you may want to delete it. You can delete an account in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences.
Note: Prior to deleting a test account, make sure you are completely done with it. If you have files in the Guest User you wish to keep, you should copy them to the /Users/Shared folder .
If you should find, that slideshows only play in a new user account, post back. -
When I take my phone off charge in the morning I get an info box on the front which has the sound trumpet icon with a line through it and the word Mute. The only way to get rid of it is to reboot the phone any ideas as to how I can stop this happening?
Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time. -
I have PowerBook G4, running 10.5.8. Went to upgrade and says OS too old. I went back to older version of foxfire. Now I have a circle with a line through it and when I try to open it I get,You cannot open the application “Firefox” because it is not supported on this architecture. Thanks for the help.
Firefox 3.6.x is the last available from Mozilla for PPC Macs. <br />
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

My wife just got this BB and has been working great, when all of a sudden there isa circle with a line through it and a box in the center of it with a cirle, square, and a triangle inside the box. We have tried removing the battery to no avail. Talked with a person at one of the local stores and he said I need to download the desktop manager. I did that, but it will not connect to phone.

I am having trouble sending text messages. They aren't always going through. And sometimes I'm not receiving text messages. I also have voicemails that I didn't receive until late at night that were left early in the day. I need to resolve this issue ASAP!
julie@remax,
I know that this would concern me just the same and we want to make sure that your device is connected and receiving these notifications when available. How long have you been having this issue? Are you receiving a specific error message when sending a message? Are you aware if this happens in one location specifically or everywhere you go? Does the issue with messaging occur with all numbers? Share some details, so that we may assist.

HP Photosmart Plus b209a prints lines through photos
The printer is a few weeks old, but it never printed out photos correctly. There are vertical lines through landscape photos, and horizontal lines through potrait photos (this happens when I'm connected both via USB and wireless). The strange thing is that it prints photos perfectly when I print a test photo from the installation program (both via USB and wireless).
I've been sent a replacement printer, but that didn't help. Now I've been in touch with HP support via mail over the last couple of weeks, but thats going nowhere - being asked the same (already answered) questions over and over again. I've been asked to try using the wrong paper size settings, various quality settings, upgrading drivers, etc. (was even asked to try using the wrong drivers, but that just crashed the printer).
I'm using a HP Compaq 8510p, running 64bit Windows 7. My wife uses an IBM thinkpad (32bit Windows 7), and she has the same problem. At this point I'm not really expecting much from HP support any more, so hopefully someone on this forum might be able to help me.Are the lines regurlarly spaced? What is the spacing of the lines? Is it different when printing in Best mode vs. Normal? Are the lines dark, light or a color?
Print a diagnostic page as shown in solution six here. Does the diagnostic page print the color bars properly?

I was trying to upgrade my version of Firefox. Downloaded the new one, got rid of old one as it said could not install because old one existed. Now cannot use either. Firefox circle has line through it.
For to use Firefox 4.0 and newer you need both Intel and OSX 10.5 or newer.
Either you can use the 3.6.17 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html or use a third-party build of Firefox 4.0 from http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
note there is no actual 4.0.2 as they decided to get ahead with their own build. -
i followed all the instructions for downloading firefox. when i tried to drag it into the applications folder it had a circle and line through the icon. it copied into applications successfully, but it won't launch. this mac is really old, G4 from 2000 i think (hand me down) alot of applications will not work with this computer (flashplayer for one, adobe updates ect) because it is so old. what can i do?
Are you getting an error message number with that error message? If so, what number are you getting, please?

I go to tools and the options and I can't open any of the tabs at the top Eg I go to exceptions and I get a red circle with a line through it.This is the same for all of the options that have exceptions and saved passwords.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") -

Tried to download Firefox 4.0. Window where I drag icon to applications folder has a line and a circle over the Firefox. when I attempt to drag it to the folder, it says there is a newer version already there and do I want to replace it. When I replaced it with your new download a window came up that said I don't have the proper architecture to run this. I am using Mac 10.5.8. Please fix this! I'm in the middle of planning an art exhibit and need my Firefox!!!!
Firefox 4 requires an Intel Mac. You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
There is a third party version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox -
This has been taking place ever since I upgraded to the iPhone 4S and with it iOS 5. This never happened on any of my previous iPhones or versions of iOS. This problem has occurred ever since October when I upgraded, and has persisted through all version upgrades of iBooks and iOS. It is annoying the **** out of me as I use iBooks frequently.

My iPad has mini lines through it and is not clear
I installed the latest update and now my mini is not clear and has lines on the screen...can anyone help?
Hi JLoecker,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are seeing lines on your iPad display, I recommend first resetting it:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the full article with these steps here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the lines are still there after you reset the iPad, I recommend that you back it up and restore it using iTunes:
