• Example: officejet j4580: why my printer say my appears not connected to my computer

  Why my printer say my appears not connected to my computer

  Hello @momodeda!

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  I don't know why the computer does not show the printer offline, but I would be happy to provide help to try and get communicating them again!

  The first thing I would suggest is to power cycle all the devices.  Remove the power to the printer, shut down the computer and remove the power to the router.  Wait 20 seconds, then reconnect the router.  Wait for the lights on the router to return.

  Plug the printer in and turn on the computer.  Once all devices are back on, try printing again.

  If this does not work then I would recommend uninstalling the HP software.  Once the uninstall is complete, it would be wise to perform a cleanup of the computer disk. A disk cleanup will improve the performance of the computer and remove the temporary files that may cause problems during the installation of the software. Once disk cleanup you must restart the computer and reinstall the HP software.
  
  To uninstall the HP software, click here: uninstall the HP software
  
  To perform a disk cleanup, click here: perform a disk cleanup
  
  To download the HP software, click here: HP Officejet full feature and driver software

  If please, after back and let me know how it goes!

• Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

  Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

  The active x bar descends into the small window and freezes all windows open right there and will not respond. This happens when I open a new message and try to attach photos.

  Things I tried but has not made a difference:

  reinstalled IE 8, deleted the history of the browser, disk Cleanup, removed msn photo upload control, optimized IE8

  With xp media center

  PS. This occurs also at any time the information down to install an active x on any site control

  The only way to surf now with frustration is to use IE 8 NOT add optional

  So I fixed that on my own and that's how I did it.

  You must uninstall IE 8 completely which will bring you to IE 7 (in my case) and then install IE 8 via the site updates or microsoft.

  Uninstallin IE 8 by going to:

  Start--->

  Control Panel--->

  Add Remove programs--->

  Scroll down to IE 8--->

  Click on delete.

  IE8 updates must be removed also, if not then click the box 'To see the updates' on the top of the window to scroll down, look for the IE 8 security updates and delete.

  Resart your computer and install IE 8.

  This worked for me and may or may not work for you.

• Why always, I received management is not available when you use maps for the iPhone 6 and I live in the Qatar?

  Why I always get direction is not available when you use maps for the iPhone 6 more?

  Currently I live in the Qatar.

  Hi Alison, Sameh

  The reason why you see directions is not available, it's that for cards of Apple, turn-by-turn directions is not a feature that is available in the Qatar. You can search for places and satellite imagery
  Take a look at the link below for more details on what features are available in the Qatar.

• Windows 7 product key blocked - not genuine notice

  My T420 is 3 years old and all of a sudden yesterday I received the notice and black screen saying "this copy of Windows is not genuine". And nag screens on it about every half hour (and annoyingly at startup).

  I tried several fixes online, including the re - enter the product key. When I do this I get the error 0XC004F063. There is no place to contact Microsoft for a replacement key, it says to contact Lenovo.

  I talked to Lenovo support this morning and told me I might need to reinstall Windows, and they were mailing - me to restore disks. He checked and said with this error code that I had to call Microsoft.

  I called MS and we checked the product key... it's blocked. I gave her my product ID and which is also blocked. He said to come back to Lenovo.

  Lenovo doesn't know anything about. Or what to do about it. The woman was told she had someone call this morning with something similar, if it was Windows 8. She checked and several other people support had similar appeals this morning. She also said that I would probably have to reinstall Windows. I asked if she would have never had this before and she said no. I asked if she knew other people having these calls before and she didn't say that she didn't know. I asked that if it seemed suspicious that all of a sudden some people had this problem. It seems that Lenovo blocked a series of product keys. It was covered on if she was really out of hand and said the Commissioner knew it and they would look inside. When I asked if they would contact me if they found anything, she said that this does not work like that. They you me sending restore disks and I am for the reminder Friday to see if someone knows something.

  In the meantime, here is my log Genuine Ms. It seems correct to my untrained eye... does anyone have any ideas or know of others, especially in the last 24 hours?

• HP Pavilion a6712F: Windows vista says foxfire is still open when its ' not

  Sometimes when I'm ready to work on the computer, a window appears & says that Foxfire is still running and to shut down before I could continue. As far as I know, it does not work. I have to restart to open a session. Using Windows Vista 64-bit.

  Thank you.

  At least.  Here are a couple of things to try if the problem persists according to Mozilla.

  You can see this:

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/Firefox-already-running-not-responding

  Also

  Make sure that the profile of default value = 1 in profiles.ini points to an existing profile folder.

  You can remove profiles.ini to force Firefox to create a new default profile.

  See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_missing_profile

  The problem is not with your computer or Windows, there is a problem with Firefox under Vista.  Problem only way to get is to use another browser.

  Original title: problem with Windows 7 reinstall

  Hi SheldonHarrison,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community. It seems that you have a problem with the activation of Windows after changing the hard drive. This can be very frustrating for you, and I appreciate the efforts you have put in. Let us work together as a team to get this number fixed.

  We start with a few questions-

  Did you do any other changes on the computer?

  I would like more information about the issue.

  Method-

  You are facing this problem since you move the Windows to another hard drive.

  You must use the same product key and try activating Windows.

  I would have you refer to the steps suggested by Keith - the wire.

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• Why the length of film does not change when I remove Vista Movie Maker clips?

  You have not answered my other question.  I get an error "does not fit" when you publish a movie on dvd. I deleted half the clips in the storyboard and length does not change. I always get the error "will not fit". After I saved the project. It seems that it becomes the length of the imported clips not what is in the table of Storyboard. The length of the table of Storyboard is only 01:30, but the length in the window shows 02:42 that is causing the error. It seems to me that it should use the length of the table of Storyboard because it's what makes the final video on dvd.

  Yes... adding or removing items from the timeline should change the duration of the project.
  The files in your component collections have no effect on the duration of the project.

  I suggested that you publish in the movie .wmv format to see if the version with clips
  removed would still last for 02:42.

  As I have said from the beginning... creating several small projects may be your solution.

  I'm sorry that my suggestions seem redundant to you. Perhaps you could find assistance elsewhare.
