Three Hour Twitch

...bought a film scanner...after installing the drivers and connecting it I get a message that it cannot communicate with the computer...
...oh no...
...what could it be?..damn BIOS again?..SP2?..memory?..vidcard?...PSU?...SATA HDD (I don't have one)???
...nope...
...do you want to know?..
...finally, by going to the manufacturers website and clicking Support and checking FAQs, I found out that you cannot have two USB scanners connected at the same time...I unplugged the flatbed scanner and now the film scanner works...  

LMAO

  • Lightroom 4 crashes when trying to open the slideshow module. I spent over three hours with both Adobe and Apple tech support and we know it is a permission issue but have not been able to get it solved.  It started with the last upgrade to 10.8

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Is there a way to force my iPad to shut down? I "slid" to turn off three hours ago. The "wheel" is still spinning in the middle of the screen.

    Is there a way to force my iPad to shut down? I "slid" to turn off three hours ago. The "wheel" is still spinning in the middle of the screen.

    Yeah, hold down the top Sleep button and the Home button simultaneously.  Continue to hold until the screen goes blank and the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider midway through this process, just keep holding both buttons down until the Apple logo appears -- it takes about 8-10 seconds.  That should do a soft reset and fix your problem.

  • How do I get all two or three hours of a podcast ?

    With the new itunes 11.0.1 I can only get the first hour of a two and sometimes three hour podcasts? How do I get all two or three hours?

    Easiest way is to click on the foreground colour which opens the Color Picker dialog box, and changes the cursor to the eye dropper.  Now click on the colour.  If it is crucial that it uses your selected area, copy the selection to a new layer.   I have no idea if you want a point sample, or average of entire selection or what though?

  • DVD Burn more than three hours

    I have a video that lasts more than three hours and I want to burn to DVD. How I can compress it but I lose quality among all video on the DVD?

    Hi
    DL-DVDs - can hold up to 4 hours
    Using Toast™ and a SL-DVD can hold about 10 hours - BUT at a quality so bad that VHS-tapes recorded in EP-mode (x4) Will look excellent in comparision.

    You need to plug the iPad into your computer that has iTunes installed on it, and activate it.
    The User Guide would be good for you to read:

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

  • I have an app using data every three hours...how do i find out what app it is?

    I have an app using significant amounts of data every three hours.  How do I find out what app it is?

    I don't know what you're basing the 'every three hours' thing on, but if you're looking at the bill from your carrier, remember that data usage is not reported in real time. It's reported in batches. It's more likely that the data usage is being 'reported' every three hours.
    Look in Settings>Cellular. You can see how much data each app has used and control what's allowed to use cellular data and what's not.

  • Tried to install the latest update on my ipad. i get an image of "itunes" with a connecting cord. hasnt changed in three hours. if i turn it off, it goes right back to same image on black background. i am stuck, please help me, thanks

    i tried to install the latest update on my ipad. i get an image which says I tunes with a cord to plug in. it is on a black background.. it has been like this for three hours now. if i turn it off and then on again that is the only page that appears. i am stuck. please can anyone help me? thanks.

    It's too bad you lost stuff. I would recommend that you back stuff up before the next one. For example, iOS8 will be out sometime this fall. Just in case you experience the same thing again, do a backup before you do the update.

  • ICal events off by three hours on iPad

    I have an iPhone 4, 32GB Wifi iPad and an iMac all running the current software. I also use MobileMe to sync all of my info. I have noticed that recently my events sync'd to the iPad are off by three hours (ahead). My time zone is set correctly on all devices yet this problem continues. If I enter an even on the iPad say for 11AM, it will show up on my iPhone and iMac as a 8AM appointment, and vice versa going the other way. I don't know what is going on but any help would be awesome. I've tried everything I could think of.

    Well, I admit that this is desperation but try the recommendations on page 170.

  • IPod shuffle 3rd gen only holds charge for three hours

    Ipod shuffle is a couple of years old but not used frequently. No linger holds a charge for more than three hours. Anything I can do to fix that?

    Hey Lojolo,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines the steps to accurately test your iPod’s battery life, as well as the expected battery life times:
    Accurately determine your iPod battery life - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201535
    Once you have completed these steps, check out the following section:
    If your test indicates that your iPod battery's playback time is significantly less than the times stated above, try these tips and tricks to get the most out of your iPod battery. Then test again.
    If you still feel that you are getting significantly less than the expected amount of play from the battery, you can arrange for service on the iPod Service Request site. When you request service, we will ask you for your results of this test.
    If your iPod is no longer covered by the limited warranty or an AppleCare Protection Plan, we also offer a battery replacement program.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

  • HT4061 I bought my iPhone 5s three hours ago and I was wondering if there was some type of warranty that could replace it.

    Iphone was bought three hours ago and was accidently flushed down a toliette and unretriveable. Is there warranty available or any advise for my situation?

    A warranty will not cover lost or physically damaged iPhones. You will need to purchase a new unit.
