C6280 all-in-One is not recognized by my computer. Uninstalled all HP programs and reinstalled drive

My C6280 all-in-One printer worked flawlessly for several years now.  Tonight (after work well throughout the day) when I tried to scan a document to make a .pdf file, I clicked on my desktop for the HP printer icon and nothing happened.  The computer was no connection to the printer.  I restarted the computer (it is Windows XP) and still no connection.  Check all the cables connected physically.  Printer disconnected from the computer and the power source for a minute then don't... always reconnected no connection.  So I uninstalled all HP programs and reinstalled the drive to see if that would fix the problem, but it has no effect.  Don't know what to do from here.

Well, it was a road of circuatis, but I was finally able to get uninstalled everything and re-installed correctly and I am now able to connect to the printer directly from the computer with the icon on the desktop.  Thanks for your help.  PHEW!

    I found that if it becomes necessary to use time machine to return to an earlier existence to reinstall the iphoto library, if for some reason, you lose lose, then when you try to synchronize your ipad is not recognized by the computer.  So when you try to synchronize the pictures, they are all removed from the ipad and trying to reinstall everything again.

    This may or may not work immediately.  In my case, only half the photos have been installed, and then the error message came that the rest of 9000 can be installed.

    I contacted Apple support team who has made various suggestions.  Subsequently clicking on a photo list in iTunes were all going again and pictures of 9000 then installed.  When I asked the support team what could happen I was told that it was a "glitch".  I don't like seeds they mean that there could be an error in coding somewhere.

    Here me again.  I use an iMac and iPad.  I don't know why XP and iPhone came.

  • External hard disk is not recognized in my computer

    My external Western Digital USB hard drive is not recognized in my computer.

    I see it in Device Manager and computer management/disk management but not in my computer.

    Update driver, a refreshed in disk management and several reboots.

    The external hard drive is there but not recognized on my computer.

    I need to restore from this external hard drive, but I can't access it.

    most of the answers deals with reformatting... the original post says he wants recover from this drive to reformat does not help... the external usb drives, equipped with cables that have 2 ends of usb, connect the two in to; separated on the MB, separate usb hubs usb ports it is because power is causing problems (current rises to voltage drops) then sometimes access to the drive causes the voltage on a single falling down USB, think the os it's read-only / permission issues, with 2 connected to separate power sources the question goes... they were built that way...

    I also recommend to never put a USB through a third party hub as more often which can cause problems with the unrecognized drive.

    That said, yes I had to reformat to access a drive, if you cannot write to a disc rclick and observe the permissions, if you have formatted the drive on another pc and not changed the permissions for everyone, then under sercurity see you permissions set on a long number, it is because he is always set to original pc (or the id of this pc). Sometimes you can over the way these parameters by taking possession (in the s parameters) and reset to everyone on the local pc.

    Something else I found on the disc is not recognized... Plug it into the usb port as described above and restart the pc, I got this job...

    Note: I deal with almost all the avalible from different readers that my clients use them all.

  • Sansa 8 GB Clip not recognized in my computer...

    OK so I just got this thing today and I plugged it to my computer to recharge before I did something to it. About 6 hours later I checked it and it was not fully charged, but I decided to check a few things anyway. I clicked on "My Computer" and it was not recognized here. So I tried all my usb ports and it was a no go too. Then I had my husband try it with his computer and he was not recognized in 'My Computer' but it is recognized in Device Manager. So what don't understand me? I have read the booklet that accompanies the thing and he said nothing to have need of software and everything I had with him, it was a disc (sp?) mini Rhapsody free trial. If someone please help the dummy! All I want to do is music to listen to while I clean up the House and something to choke the complaint of the people I work with!

    I thank in advance, BTW!

    OK, so I found the problem. I just need to upgrade my wmp to the correct version. I was always using v.9 Anyway sorry to bother someone.

  • 750 GB Seagate replacement drive not recognized in my computer, but show up in the BIOS

    I'm sorry if I break label of forum, but I was afraid that my previous ad in the "Resolved" issue Seagate can be neglected...

    The Seagate firmware problem would explain why my replacement HP 750Go drive, happened today to replace my crashed, is not recognized by my computer?

    A bit of history: after 2 months of operation, my new HP Pavilion a6750f desktop PC crashed, with the 750 GB drive omitting all Smart tests. While replacement is put in the mail, I bought a 1.5 GB Seagate and used to get on yesterday's recovery software. Today, Seagate 750 disk arrived, so I installed as a storage drive (to make backups to avoid another disaster). The BIOS reports as the 3rd disc, ST3750630AS and SMART spent testing.  But it does not appear on my computer (so that I can format it, if necessary.)  When I installed Nero Backitup 4, you can also see the drive, but there are no partitions.

    Issues related to the:

    1. How to format or get this drive recoginized?
    2. Can I install this download of the firmware on my 1.5 GB Seagate, my 1.0 GB of Seagate (another storage drive) and the 750 GB Seagate? If Yes, when I reboot, can I select which drives to apply to?

    Thank you!

    It does not appear there, either.  As soon as Vista SP1 download is finished, I'll check the connectors. However, as it appear in the BIOS and in Nero Backitup, but not in my computer or disk management, it looks like a different problem...

    I received an email from HP recommend I install new software for my Officejet Pro 8500.  I downloaded the software and installed.  The printer was working, but it would not scan.

    Hi Karen,.

    -What version of Windows is installed on the computer?

    -What antivirus/firewall software you have installed on the computer?

    The document from HP concerning "printer does not maintain the wireless connection.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&LC=en&DLC=en&docName=c02817031#N80

    You have tried most the steps mentioned in the document, but please try once more.

    Additionally, make sure that you disable the antivirus and firewall programs just to make sure that these programs do not block the detected printer.

    Note: You must enable the /firewall antivirus as soon as you've done troubleshooting. If this is not the case, your computer will be vulnerable to viruses.
