  • HP Officejet 7610: Scan of the computer cannot be activated or scan and combine them into a single pdf document.

    I've recently updated to macOS Sierra 10.12 and scanning to HP computer software cannot be located when I open the HP utility.

    I can't find a further recommended HP software for my device other than El captain in operating system online.

    If I try to scan through preferences systems for printers and Scanners I can open the scanner, but I can't create a PDF combining into one document - it cancels the procedure after about 2 pages!

    The scan HP Destinations 'PDF for Adobe Reader' is red 'could not locate the target application that might have removed or uninstalled. File format = "PDF".

    How can I get that back?

    Thank you

    Hi @JOGL,

    Thank you for joining the HP Forums!

    I understand that computer analysis can not be activated as well as the scan and combine them into a single pdf document. With your printer HP Officejet 7610. I am pleased to see that for you!

    At this time for this model. There is no software and drivers for Mac OS X 10.12 again, given that the operating system has just been launched, it could take some time. For the time being, you can try to use HP Easy Scan to see if that can meet your scanning preferences. In otherwise, all we can do is wait for the software and drivers to be released.

    If you are unable to reach a resolution, please click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

  • HP5520 Scan of the computer cannot be activated.

    Hello everyone

    I wonder if someone can help me.  I bought a HP5520 all in one printer this week.  I have put in all and I have no problem printing on my WiFi, but it will not scan.

    I use an iMac computer with operating system of 10.9 Mavericks.

    I followed all the advice from other users on the Forum and on the HP website with no luck.

    I get the message computer scan can not be activated.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times with no success.  Regarding the HP utility there is the option "Enable the analysis to the computer", but it is grey so I can't select.

    Any help woud be appreciated.

    Pete

    Hello pottypeteand welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I see that you have problems with scanning.  I would like to help.

    I suggest to remove the printer from your printing system, using this document: uninstalling the software of the printer.

    Once you have deleted, I suggest to check and repair disk permissions: function to fix the permissions of all utility disk drive.

    I also run your Apple updates: OS x: Mac App Store apps and OS X update

    After the updates, I recommend reinstalling the HP Photosmart 5520 e-all-in-one software full function and drivers.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • 120 envy: envy 120th Scan of the computer cannot be activated MAC running El Capitan

    Hi guys,.

    I recently installed it all above named mentioned HP printer software but for some reason, I can't Scan for compatible computer.

    I need to work in order to scan a batch of documents and consolidate in 1 file.

    The native application of the Mac scanner handles scan page by page and saves it on my desk. but I really need the batch option to work.

    I followed all the standard procedures to reinstall the software, resets etc, but I'm still having the problem.

    Under the HP utility screen, I have the scan to computer option on the bottom of the menu. I click on that and extract information. Then I get this message as well as the red dot

    "The HP software required for the Scan of the computer could not be located on this computer. Please download and install the latest HP recommended software for your device to http://www.hp.com/supportand then try again. »

    I made sure all the software is installed and I still have the same question.

    I can connect to the printer and scan of the web also. I just seems to be a problem with the HP utility App and the printer.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thank you very much.

  • OfficeJet 5740: officejet 5740 - scan of the computer cannot be activated - cause communication error

    2 weeks ago, I bought a HP officejet 5740 - installed the software and everything worked well. Unfortunately, the printer is dead, and I just got a new.  In order to start to 'clean up', I removed all HP on the Mac software - and then installed the printer. I can print - and scan using progtram analysis. The printer is connect via ethernet.

    This left me with 2 numbers

    (1) for installation, Setup fails when I reached the setting of alerts (communication error - please restart the program) try to configure alerts in HP utility fail - even once to the criticism fail - restart program

    (2) I'm not able to activate the scan of the computer on the Mac.  I get "communication failed" when I try to turn on the feature in HP utillity

    What I tried

    Delete all HP software (several times) and reinstall it again - still the same problem

    I removed the HP software and used the diskutillity to fix the rights - and reinstalled him brand new - still same problem.

    I have reset the printingsystem on the mac - still the same problem

    I still think it's weird - because everything worked great with the first printer I had! -replace it with a similar one caused the problem.  And this isn't the printer - because scan to computer works with my wife PC

    I have run out of ideas - and hopes that someone can solve this problem!

    Carsten

    Thank you for your reply - the problem is now resolved.  It seems that when you run Uninstall HP also something with the printerdrives provided by Apple update. I noticed that version 3.1 was installed on March 2, when I installed the first printer, I bought (the one who broke down) in all my tests, uninstalling and installing the drivers, I have checked apple update, it says no new updates, but last night he said suddenly that there was an update and then it reienstalled the 3.1 drivers HP again - and surpirice the problem has been solved.

    Thank you for your quick response!

  • You cannot be activated because the iPad does not connect to the server

    You cannot be activated because the iPad does not connect to the server. I was told to come to the address in internet apple.com/es/support and do not see it as the solution. Can someone help me

    What is the wording accurate and complete error message?

    If she says the activation server cannot be reached/contacted

    There are 4 possible causes for this error message:

    1] activation server is actually down. Very rare and of short duration when it

    Sometimes. Solution - try again.

    [2] your firewall and/or antivirus software preventing the necessary connection. Solution-

    temporarily disable your firewall and/or antivirus software, up to the end of the activation.

    [3] computer used for activation has been used to jailbreak an iOS device in the past.

    Solution - use another computer.

    [4] iPad has been jailbroken. Your favorite search engine can provide indications but often prevent jailbreaks

    the activations/updates to succeed. By the terms of use of this forum, discussion on jailbroken iPad is
