Here's the FIX for one quicktime installation error

Can't believe this isn't mentioned in here anywhere or in any of the threads on the Web. I got help from the Ubergeeks on the Well, where I should have started in the first place.
If you can't install because Quicktime won't install (error -3, error 1402 etc.) and you can't get permissions to enter the registry keys...
Run: regedit
navigate to the folder mentioned in the error message. For me it was HKEYLocalMachine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Quicktime
This seems to be the most often-cited culprit.
Right-click on the Quicktime folder. Select Permissions. Hit Advanced. Click the "Owner" tab. Click on yourself in the lower window. Hit OK.
Install your software and enjoy.
This may not fix everyone's problems, but I bet it fixes the vast majority of those that are similar to the one I had, which I spend hours and hours trying to fix before I simply asked someone who knew what they were doing.
Maybe if the folks at Apple see this, they can, you know, add it to their troubleshooting guide. It's a very common problem.

In case anyone is reading this thread, I found a fix for this problem. In another discussion thread, a nice person referenced an article at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93865 that explains what to do with these kinds of permission errors (1402 and 1406). I followed the instructions and also made the changes to the specific line item I had a problem with. Installation ran successfully although there were a couple of error messages about not being able to unregister a couple of .dlls, which apparently is not fatal to the installation.

Here's the FIX for no GUI 7.7 issue

Like many, I had the no-GUI/hang problem after upgrading to 7.7. After working with support, and fiddling around, heres the situation:
7.7 wants to touch every song in your library the first time it launches. I suspect it's updating something in the library. I have 10,000 songs, and my library is on an Airdisk, so that's a lot of traffic. Like many, I wasn't patient and killed iTunes, which may have corrupted the library.
Support indicated that there's separate problems with the software update version, so they had me reinstall from the manual download.
Fast fix (i.e. avoid it):
1) Delete iTunes.app (stop iTunes Helper in Activity Monitor). Empty the trash.
2) Download and install iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes
3) Reboot
4) Have your library attached directly to the computer (for speed)
5) The first time you run iTunes, be patient!
If you've already tried, and had to kill iTunes, here's what I did to fix it:
1) Do Steps 1-3 above
2) Move the .xml file out of your iTunes library folder (~/Music/...) to the desktop
3) Restore your iTunes library from your last good Time Machine backup prior to the 7.7 upgrade (you do run Time Machine, right?)
4) Attach your library locally!
5) Run iTunes and be patient. My locally attached library took 4-5 minutes to have the GUI come up. If you use a network it may take much longer.
Now I can close iTunes, eject the library disk, put it back on the Airport Extreme, attach that volume, and iTunes comes up like 7.6.2 did - fast and stable. Still works after rebooting too.
I'm not 100% sure if you need to restore your library from backup, but at the very least remove the XML file and give it a go.
Good luck!

Nope - and it was set to not look for them.
The final clue came when I tried hooking the drive directly to the computer, instead of to the airdisk. iTunes still hung. Then I disconnected the drive and tried to run it, and iTunes came up right away - but with an ! next to each song. Clearly it was trying to find/touch every file in the library on first startup.
I didn't try plugging in the drive and leaving the hanging iTunes running for more than a few minutes, so it's possible that it would have recovered and launched. But after removing the XML file, restoring the library to my pre-7.7 version, I could hear it accessing the directly attached drive (and see it in disk activity in the monitor) for a few minutes (less than I'd left the hanging one trying), before it came up.
Conclusion:
1) 7.7 is definitely trying to touch/see all the files in the library on first launch (proved by the ! when they are missing).
2) Disconnecting/interrupting the touch/see MAY have corrupted something (can't prove it).
3) Since touching 10,000 files takes a LONG time even at 802.11n speeds (let alone b or g), it's worth the hassle to plug the drive in directly for the first time.
4) Patience is a virtue

For all you who have problems here is the fix for your phone.

Most of you on here don't understand that 3.x or if you have jailbreak your pass software and set it up from back up you are going to have problems. That can be from drop calls to not having the phone working right.
The 4.0 software has been rewritten completed for the new and old phones. So if you were on 3.x and update to 4.0 then you are bring in a bugs into 4.0. You have to set up as NEW PHONE not from back up. This clean your phone with a fresh software then you add your stuff from your computer. Then you have to go to general and go and reset your network settings. That reset your carrier account with the new 4.0. That because the new 4.0 is now looking to find the tower which has the less people on the tower not which tower is close to you. This way you get a better service and sound of it.
If you still have problems all of you with your iPhone 4 then it a hardware problem. You have to go to the Apple store and replace the phone. Apple will be happy to replace the phone. If not you have 30 days to get your full refund from Apple.
That is it. Nothing hard about it. It's a software problem of a hardware problem. BTW my new iPhone 4 is much better in sound and not having any drop calls than my old 3GS. If you have problems with drop calls is because you are in area which has a week tower which is so busy and can't keep up with the system. That a ATT problem which ATT is working hard to fix it but it can't get the equipment from their supplies fast enough to fix the problem with the network.
I hope this answer your problems on here.

I know this sounds like a bit of Voodoo, but it's worth a try. If you've upgraded to the new iPhone 4 and have restored your old software, you may see what appears to be a signal drop-off. Let's stay away from the whole iPhone 4 "death grip" controversy; that aside, no matter what you do, you're not seeing as many bars or getting reception that's as good as what you had with your older iPhone.
Here's something to try. On your iPhone preferences, navigate to "General," and then scroll down to the bottom where it says "Reset." Tap that, and then tap "Reset Network Settings." You'll get a warning, and the phone will reset to factory defaults. You'll likely lose some Wi-Fi passwords, but you may also find that your cellular reception gets a lot better.
I have two friends who tried this, and they went from one or two bars to four or five at the same locations. This is the same trick they are doing at the Genius Bar, and my research shows that it can help in many (but not all) cases. We've talked about this fix before, but we have a lot of new readers, and some old ones, who may have missed it. There are also some discussions about this on the Apple support board. If you have seen a drop-off in reception, it's certainly worth a try. If it doesn't work, we're sorry. If it does, well, the price is right for the fix. Let us know in the comments if it helped, or sadly, if it didn't.

The fix for the A12E1 Error code!!

After weeks of talking to people at Adobe and doing every single fix they told me and having complete failure every single time I finally got it nailed thanks to the 6-7th guy I talked to!
Here is the fix for A12E1....
On your computer you will create a NEW USER ACCOUNT
Be sure to give it ADMINISTRATOR access
Go to Adobe.com and download CRETIVE CLOUD, it will install the CC as well as the ADOBE APPLICATION MANAGER
When the install is complete and you've downloaded all of the programs you want SWITCH BACK to your old USER ACCOUNT and the programs will all be in there ready to roll.
I never thought I would be done with this giant pain but it really does work
Hit me up on Twitter and let me know how it goes for you. @Bruce_Bishop
Enjoy

Uninstall the application, reinstall it. Also download the update manually from the Adobe site. Without knowing anything about your system, it doesn't get any more specific than that. And please ask such questions in the product specific forum next time.

What is the fix for some applications repeatedly asking permission to accept incoming connections?

What is the fix for some applications repeatedly asking permission to accept incoming connections?
On every restart, AutoPairs and Epson Event Manager asks me to reject or agree to allow incoming connections. It is very aggravating and time-wasting. I know other Mac users who have the identical problem with other applications on their Macs.
Isn't there some way to make my Mac understand that "Yes" means "Yes" once and for all?
I am presently running Yosemite, but this was a problem with prior OS X versions too.
Respectfully,
Nate

This is a comment on why you might, or might not, want to use the built-in Application Firewall.
The firewall blocks incoming network traffic, regardless of origin, on a per-application basis. By default it's off, and when turned on, it allows applications digitally signed by Apple, and only those applications, to listen on the network. It does not block outgoing traffic, nor can it distinguish between different sources of incoming traffic, nor does it filter traffic by content.
No matter how it's configured, the firewall is not, as some imagine, a malware filter. If that's what you expect it to do, forget it. All it will do is bombard you with pointless alerts.
Consider some scenarios in which you may expect the firewall to be useful.
1. You enable file sharing, and you allow guest access to certain folders. That means you want people on your local network, but not outsiders, to be able to access those shared folders without having to enter a password. In the default configuration, the firewall will allow that to happen. The router prevents outsiders from accessing the shares, whether the application firewall is on or off. But if your computer is portable and you connect it to an untrusted network such as a public hotspot, the firewall will still allow access to anyone, which is not what you want. It does not protect you in this scenario.
2. You unknowingly install a trojan that steals your data and uploads it to a remote server. The firewall, no matter how it's configured, will not block that outgoing traffic. It does nothing to protect you from that threat.
3. A more likely scenario: The web browser or the router is compromised by an attacker. The attack redirects all web traffic to a bogus server. The firewall does not protect you from this threat.
4. You're running a public web server. Your router forwards TCP connection requests on port 80 to your Mac, and the connections are accepted by the built-in web server, which is codesigned by Apple. The application firewall, still configured as above, allows this to happen. An attacker hacks into the system and tries to hijack port 80 and replace the built-in web server with one that he controls. The good news here is that the firewall does protect you; it blocks incoming connections to the malicious server and alerts you. But the bad news is that you've been rooted. The attacker who can do all this can just as easily turn off the firewall, in which case it doesn't protect you after all.
5. You're running a Minecraft server on the local network. It listens on a high-numbered port. You, as administrator, have reconfigured the firewall to pass this traffic. An attacker is able to log in to a standard account on the server. He figures out how to crash Minecraft, or he just waits for you to quit it, and then he binds his own, malicious, Minecraft server to the same port. The firewall blocks his server, and because he's not an administrator, he can't do anything about it. In this scenario, the security is genuine.
6. Here is a more realistic scenario in which you might have reason to enable the firewall. Your MacBook has sharing services enabled. You want those services to be available to others on a home or office network. When you're on those networks, the firewall should be off. When you move to an untrusted network, you can either turn off all the services, or enable the firewall with a non-default configuration to block them. Blocking is easier: one click instead of several.

A good read. Have you done anything at all to resolve your problem. Reset? Restore?
By the way - "your products"... nobody here produced the iPhone, we are all just users. Apple is not here.

How do I link the javadoc for one jar to another?

I'm starting to work on the javadocs for my project. It consists of three JAR files. The problem is I haven't figured out is how to link the javadoc for one JAR to that for another jar. So if JAR A declares class X and JAR B has class Y extend class X, they need to be linked. But the javadoc output only has plain text there. What am I doing wrong? Something like @see com.u3e.tests.tools.X is output as text, not a link. I have the same problem for any @see pointing to part of the JDK. @see java.lang.Object is text.
My project is NetBeans IDE based. Do I need to manually specify something on the command line? I see the -sourcepath and -classpath command line options, but don't know if those would help or not. Ideally, there would be a place directly in the Documentation portion of the properties for each JAR to list that, but I don't see it. The various JARs are listed under the libraries section as needed to satisfy dependencies.

The best way IMO is to sync each iPad with your computer. Having all your stuff backed up on a computer is a good idea anyway. Just read how many folks here are trying to recover lost stuff that could easily be copied back from either backup or iTunes on the computer.
Sync both iPads to the computer. Transfer all photos to the same computer. Then sync again selecting which items you want on each iPad.

How to keep the field value in the forms for one week

I have an application that when the user logs on to it , it shows all the documents that are in the current dept.
the form has the following fields:
document no
sent date
assigned to
dep_LOV
and a check box
if a user clicks the check box and assignes the document to another dept by cliking the LOv then the assigned to field should be populated with the new value and the sent date should be today's date(sysdate). the requirment is that once the user assignes the documnet to certain depts (for example sales dept) the assigned to field and the sent date should show up in the form for one week and the user should be able to see that data in the form the next time she /he logs onto the application. the one week time is to make sure the documcnt has reached the assigned dept. after one week from today's date the updated assigned_to field and the document no should not display on the form. During the one week if the user logs on to the form again that particular document and the assigned to and sent to fields shoould be grayed out and shhould not be updatable. I will greatly appreciate any suggetion as of what to do to solve this problem. it is urgent. Pleade help

-> so you are saying that I should have a block level post_query trigger and put the where clause in it?
No. Post-query trigger runs AFTER the query has been executed, and it runs once for each row fetched. It is for other purposes, NOT for setting a where clause.
-> Plus i want to be able to gray out the field once populated with the sales dept.I have come up with the following code:
Your Set_item_instance_property is almost correct. And THAT line would go into the Post-Query trigger. This is what you might use:
<pre> Set_item_instance_property ('docs.assigned_to',:system.trigger_record, Enabled,Property_False);</pre>
Please watch your use of underscore, dashes, commas and parentheses: _ - , ( )
The way to set your default where clause would be the following, and you should do it in the key-exeqry trigger, or someplace similar:
<pre> set_block_property('DOCS', default_where,
'NVL(sent_date,sysdate) >= sysdate-7' );
Go_block('DOCS');
Execute_Query;</pre>
I used the NVL function so your select will show rows where sent_date is null OR sent_date has a value that is within 7 days prior to the current date.
What is the field :docs.assigned_to used for? If you want to include ONLY rows that are assigned to a particular person, then your where clause might be:
<pre> 'assigned_to = :ctrl.assigned_to and NVL(sent_date,sysdate) >= sysdate-7' </pre>
and you should have a control block with the assigned_to field in it, where the user can enter a value before querying the DOCS block.

Anyone know when Mac will have the fix for the slow internet due the 10.8.2. upgrade?

I just uped to 10.8.2 on a Mac pro, and know the internet throughput has dropped from a Ping of 87, download 24.24 Mbps , upload 3.82 Mbps to a ping of 248, download .37 and up of .17. I have plugged two other Macs (one at a time) into the same network cable as above and got the per 10.8.2 upgrade speeds. Seems that one must conclude that the slow internet issue must be due to the 10.8.2 upgrade. When will Mac have the fix for this?

The problem is that the one available in the repo does not support sfz files (it only supports gig).
I just compiled the one from AUR. I don't know how I missed that, even though I looked for it in the AUR. It's working perfectly now.
I am curious though why the one directly from the site was not compiling.
Thanks a million for the tip

What is the fix for a wireless keyboard that eats batteries?

What is the fix for a relatively new wireless keyboard that eats batteries?

Part of it may be something in the battery reporting software.
I got my first wireless Apple KB with a new iMac last November (2011) and, disliking the abbreviated design for desktop use, bought a wired board for the iMac and appointed the wireless to be the travel keyboard for my MacBook Pro. I used it on a routine basis and the battery level stayed at 100 percent until June, when it suddenly read 50 percent. Today it's still 50 percent. Makes absolutely no sense but it works.
It's been on most of the time, including a couple of trips when I failed to turn it off and it was running in my backpack for days. It still ahs the batteries Apple shipped with it.
My Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse, on the other hand, showed normal battery decay over time when connected to the same computer
If the keyboard stops working, that's one thing but, if you are seeing odd percentage reports and the thing still works, just keep using it until it dies. A couple of spares in the computer bag take very little space.
I've not seen a battery calibration feature mentioned for input devices like we have for the "smart" batteries in notebook Macs.
