  I'm in IOS 9.2.1 on an iPad Mini 2, implemented to date (January 31, 2016.) Before the update, I noticed that he lacked all default applications. Projector showed the apps, but the 'Open' button was grey out. The app store shows install them on the iPad. I tried factory - reset several times, and then restored the backup, but one of the two following situations occurs:

  (1) the restore happens and each application icon to load, it disappears as soon as the loading is complete. In the end, we're back to where we were this morning, with only the default apps available.

  (2) the startup "Hola" white brand new screen, while iTunes tells me that everything is back on the iPad.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  This error occurs because the spooler service has not been started or has stopped working.
  It seems that this error is known to Microsoft and they decided to public an article in the knowledge base that could help solve this problem.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314876

  As you say that the spooler service must be restarted.
  To start the spooler service, follow these steps:
  1. click on start and then click Control Panel.
  2. double-click Administrative Tools and then click Services.
  3. double-click on the Printer Spooler service and then change the startup type to automatic. This option sets the spooler service starts automatically when you restart the computer.
  4. If you want to start the spooler service immediately, click the Start button under the Service status field

  If you will not be able to restart the spooler service, you can try to restore the Windows operating system to the point initially by using the Windows System Restore tool.

• Local print spooler service does not not (Windows 7)

  We bought a new HP PC with Windows 7 in December and the printer worked very well.   Suddenly, he stopped and we get an error Print Spooler Service not working.   I ran troubleshooting, and he said he fixed it, but we try and print to get the error again.

  We thought that we were lucky that our old PC made through the years of Vista and WIndows 7 would be better, but I was wondering if it is still too recent.

  How fix us this so that it remains fixed?

  ETA - PC is an HP, but the printer is a Dell.   Is - this problem is occurring more with certain products?  The printer is of 5 years so not opposed to replace if it will solve the problem but want one that works with Windows 7.

  Can you check it out here:

  Start > type services.msc in the search programs and files, then press 'Enter' > then in the right window, scroll down to the print spooler service, and then double click on "Print spooler" > dependencies

  What is listed under "this service depends on the following system components?

  Then click on the tab "General".

  What is the 'print spooler startup type"set to"automatic "?

  Is the "Service status" of the print spooler "started"?

  If this is not the case, can you "start" the print spooler service?

  BTW, what Dell printer is installed?

• Error 2: The system cannot find the specified file. Even after restarting the Printer Spooler service

  I tried all of the suggestions posted and have had no success in restarting my print spooler. Help, please.

  Original title: I tried to restart the print spooler as directed, and he returned the error 2: the system cannot find the specified file. He does that and is it fixable?

  @Winston Microsoft M committed Support Engineer 'expert '.

  I can see your response that you did take the time to reproduce the problem and then try your own ideas to check if the problem persists.

  Here is what I suggest to you, so you can learn how XP actually works:

  Start in the XP Recovery Console or Safe Mode, so Windows File Protection does not run.

  Rename your file c:\windows\system32\spoolsv.exe you can remember (such as spoolsv.bak).  Now, the file is "absent".

  Restart normally.

  Then try to start the Print Spooler Service and you will see the error.

  So why don't you follow your own advice and run SFC and troubleshooting automated (as you suggested) and check if the problem persists.

  Please report your results.

  When you see that it does help and that SFC does not replace the missing or damaged file (in the system32 folder) and that the automated troubleshooter does not help, will sing it a different song (we hope).

  Don't forget to rename your spoolsv.bak to spoolsv.exe when you're done messing around autour.

• the print spooler service may not be running

  Hello

  I have 4 computers around here, and I'm trying to get a printserver running on one of them, so we have installed windows 2008, set up as a server to printing etc..
  Now when I try to add the printer to my computer laptop windows 7, it works perfectly, and is the same for one of the windows xp workstations.
  However, when I try to add the printserver on windows server 2003, it starts talking about missing drivers.

  The printer is a HP LJCP3505 PCL6, and he is already working on a normal (eg. non-printserver associated) network.
  I downloaded almost all the drivers, I could find from the HP website, but whenever I try to add them, it tells me that they are not valid drivers.
  and on another computer windows 7, I get the following error message:

  Could not connect to the printer.
  On the server print spooler service could not be executed.
  Restart the spooler or restart the server

  (on a side note: it's a translated error message, our systems are not English)

  I don't know if they are related, but I checked the print spooler service, and it was fine (auto startup, active etc.).
  the same goes for its dependencies.

  Hi LeanderML,

  Your question is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for Windows Server on TechNet. Please ask your question in the Forums in Technet Windows Server.

  Hello

  ·        Have you tried the steps that are listed in the article manually and see if the problem is resolved?

  ·        Who is the manufacturer of the printer and what is the model?

  ·        When did you get the error message when you try to install the printer or when you try to print?

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to check if the Printer Spooler service is started.

  a. Click Start and click Run.

  b. type services.msc in the box run.

  c. find the print spooler service and right click on it.

  d. click Properties and verify that the startup type is set to automatic.

  Method 2:

  Step 1:

  To start in safe mode, follow the steps mentioned below.

• Can not go to sleep, "print spooler" which prevent me from entering

  Switch to standby mode, print spooler cannot prevent me to enter

  It's true...  XP "checks" with everyone of course no process is in the middle of nothing, and if something says it is busy, you will not enter standby.

  Looks like your print spooler is somehow watered upward.  I would stop your Print Spooler Service, delete all print jobs, pending or failures of the queue and then restart the Print Spooler Service.

  Here's how:

  To clear the print queue, stop the Print Spooler Service and delete all the pending print files.
     
  You cannot delete all print jobs in the queue so that the Print Spooler Service is running.
        
  To stop the Print Spooler Service, click Start, run and enter in the box:
         
  services.msc
         
  Click OK to open the Services Applet.
         
  Locate the Print Spooler Service, right click and choose 'Properties' and then click on the "Stop" button to stop the Print Spooler Service is running.
     
  The option "Startup Type" of Service properties print spooler is usually set to "Automatic" (which is now a good time to check it out).
     
  If the "Startup type" is not set to "Automatic", set the "Startup type" to "Automatic" If that is your desire (which now is the time to check it out).

  Do not try to start or restart the Print Spooler Service again...
     
  Then, delete all updates pending upward and forward to printing from XP.  If they do not print before, you will need to send the to the printer again.
     
  Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the following folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):
     
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS
         
  Delete all the print jobs in queue (select and delete all the files) in the folder if the folder is without waiting for print jobs.  The folder must be empty when you are finished.
         
  Reboot your system and check the Print Spooler Service again to make sure the Print Spooler Service restarts automatically restart (given that the startup type is set to automatic).
     
  After the reboot, check again the Spooler Service for printing and the 'Status' column for the print spooler must be read "started."

  Submit new failure of print jobs.
