-208 ERROR preventing me from listening to purchases!

ITunes 6 now asks me to authorise each song (purchases made over the last 12 months) and then I re-enter username and password and then I am told I have a new authorisation. (1/5)
Then I get a -208 error, unknown error occurred. Please try again later.
NO!!!
I've had this problem for over 24 hours and what makes me REALLY REALLY MAD is that I've paid for hundreds of singles and albums and recently videos and just because of Apple's Bugs - I'm not allowed to listen to my purchased AND DOWNLOADED SONGS!
The songs downloaded should NOT DEPEND ON HOW THE SERVER IS WORKING!!!
My machine is the only one authorised and now apparently I need to authorise my machine just to sample songs aswell.
Maybe Apple you should be a little less hasty trying to RUSH releases (version 6 - how rushed is that!) and make sure the software works.
But most importantly -
IT IS WRONG AND IMMORAL TO PREVENT YOUR CUSTOMERS FROM BEING ABLE TO LISTEN TO MUSIC THEY HAVE PURCHASED AS AND WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO PULL THE SERVER DOWN OR DO MAINTENANCE.
THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE - START CARING ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS.
Angry!

After having checked my other computer for what files had been altered or created this last day (during thich i had successfully authorized it for playback in preview and for purchased music) i found the file "SC Info.sidb" under "X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info". This appears to hold your authorization keys or some other magic stuff. By deleting this files parent folder, iTunes was forced into asking me to authorize this computer again for playback, with the difference this time that there were some other options on the authorization dialog, just like there should be when for the first time authorizing a computer to play protected iTunes content. When I then entered my information as always and was expecting to see the same -208 error, i was instead greeted with sweet opera that I had been longing to listen to.
A minute or so later, I found this article on the net:
http://nslog.com/archives/2003/05/02/authorizingitunes_scinfo.php
It describes the same problem, but for users of macs, but the same principle applies to windows machines. The only thing fifferent is the paths to the key database. "I:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info"
Try the same procedure and hopefully your iTunes copy should work again. Just remember to make sure all iTunes related processes are shut down first before trying this. It might not matter, but that is what I did.

How do I prevent iTunes from automatically putting purchases onto my iPad?

I recently purchased an iPad and am putting my music on it from iTunes. After I put all of the songs on that I want, I find some of the songs that I purchased on the iTunes Store on my iPad, and I didn't even put them on there. It is as if my Store purchases are being put on my iPad automatically. I can't swipe them to the left so I can't delete them unless I wipe all of the music from my iPad - clearing the music off from iTunes doesn't clear them.
Are my purchased songs automatically being added? How do I prevent them from being added?
Some of the songs that I am putting on my iPad are songs that I purchased from the Store, but bought the physical album later.

Are my purchased songs automatically being added? How do I prevent them from being added?
5502,
You can do that from the iPad itself.
Go into your iPad and touch the Settings icon. Then, from the left-hand list, choose "iTunes & App Store."
This will give you a section about "Automatic Downloads." There you can enable or disable Music, Apps, and Updates.

Errors preventing X from loading

When i run startx, I receive two errors, which read:
(EE) Failed to load module "speedo" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) AIGLX: Screen O is not DRI capable
as best I recall, AIGLX is for ATI cards, and setting vesa to be the driver should prevent this from being an issue, which i tried.
I have no clue what speedo is, and i've searched here and on the rest of the al's great internet, and am yet to find what this is. I searched X.org an's wiki and got zero hits. How can that even be possible?
Im just trying to get X to work. Any suggestions will be appreciated and tried.
Miesnerd

Hey there!
Well, although I can't remember having heard of the module "speedo" so far, I would try the following:
It it likely that X is trying to load this module because it finds a load command in the config file.
Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf in your favourite editor and look for a section called Module (Section "Module").
If there is a line in this section looking similar to Load "speedo", try to comment this line out.
(This is done with the '#' character (#Load "speedo").
Then try to restart the X server and look what happens. Because X is throwing another error with AIGLX it may be necessary to comment this line out, too (something like #Load "aiglx" or so).
Hope this helped a bit.
Cheers,

-208 error when syncing from mac to ipods

I am getting a -208 error everytime I sync an ipod or nano. The shuffle seems ok, no errors on syncing. Here's a screenshot:
http://powermixx.com/atempdir/208error.png
When this error occurs and I press 'Ok', the songs will still sync to the ipod, but nothing else (photos, contacts, etc.).
When I plugged in this new nano, it prompted me to update the software to version 1.1.2 - which I did. I tried to 'Restore' to the original version, but that failed too!
Any ideas why?

I restored my iPod and tried to only copy a small iPhoto album and I still got this error. I'm only trying to copy an iPhoto album and it still occurs. What's the deal, there's no way for me to try and locate a bad audio file out of 25,000 titles. And I'm not even trying to transfer music to the iPod...help!!~~~~

DAC parameter error preventing task from running

Hi All,
Please see below this error which is preventing a SIL from running, I've never seen this one before, not sure if it's a config error or programatic/environment related.
I'm particularly puzzled by the file name being repeated three times?
This is the last task in a small batch of custom tasks, all the others have run through OK.
Error Message : Usage error. You passed the wrong parameters to pmcmd.
Command Used: pmcmd startworkflow -sv BIA_IS_DEV01 -d domain_udapbia3 -u Administrator -p **** -f Custom_SILOS -lpf /u01/oracle/biapps/dac/Informatica/parameters/DataWarehouse.DataWarehouse.Custom_SILOS.Custom_SIL_ InboundCalls.txt Custom_SIL_ InboundCalls.txt Custom_SIL_ InboundCalls.txt
Thanks,
Ed

In the pmcmd command workflow name followed by parameter file.
Just in case check the task config in dac.
There might be chances for copying twice for task command like 'Custom_SIL_ InboundCalls.txt' and that is repeating and the most important to check is your task name or workflow name having space after SIL_
If above are correct then try this
replace -lpf with -paramfile in file infa_command.xml and try to run the load
for more details read the file comments from file.
You can find the file from location orahome\10gR3_1\bifoundation\dac\conf\infa_command.xml

When I try to watch movies on FF using Netflix I get a private browsing error preventing me from doing so even though I do not have private browsing activated/turned on. Solutions?

When I try to play a movie on Netflix I get an error telling me that Firefox's private browsing mode is restricting Netflix from storing settings on my computer.
The suggests were to click the Tools menu and select private browsing. My private browsing was not activated.
Or to click the Tools menu at the top of the browser and select Options, then Privacy and then Remember history. This setting was also as it should.
Additionally, I went into the history and made sure the permanent private browsing was unchecked and I cleared all cookies. Still Netflix is not working.
I called Netflix and they say that everything is streaming correctly from their end and it is this computer. I can watch Netflix on other computers or my TV on this network but not this computer.
I am at a loss at how to disengage private browsing when the private browsing does not appear to be engaged.

I had this problem as well, just right click on the error, and click Silverlight, go to the Application Storage tab, and check enable application storage located on the bottom left corner. Your movies should play after that. If that doesn't work uninstall then reinstall Silverlight, make FF remember history and make sure application storage is enabled on Silverlight.

Error prevents Grid from working

I took the Grid course and thught I'd followed the install instructions to the T, but I get the following error in the message file:
04/25/2007 13:50:06|qmaster|thomas|C|denied: request for user "sgeadmin" does not match credentials for connection <niaaa-james,execd,1>
04/25/2007 13:50:06|qmaster|thomas|C|denied: request for user "sgeadmin" does not match credentials for connection <terry,execd,1>
I've checked and sgeadmin has the same uic on all three machines.
thomas is the master host.
thomas, niaaa-james, terry are all submit and administrative host.
niaaa-james and terry are execution host.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Roger

You're right, so far, but inside sun this forum is only known to the SPS folks...
Might be, that Lubos might know at least something, so perhaps you might get an answer, but from the history of this forum, I would not bet on that...
Still, worth a try (as you did, so let's cross the fingers!)
Aren't there other lists, that do cover Grid engine? Not necessarily on forums.sun.com?

Help, file error preventing me from opening project. Overwrite save as new?

Hi there, I've been working on a big project - saving locally and backing up at night, but now my daily file is corrupted and won't open... I'm getting the following
Do you want to overwrite the file or save as a new file?
When I select "Overwrite" or a File Save As, I get the following message in response:
Adobe Captivate could not open the file because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
I'm using captivate 3. I wasn't doing anything other than trying to save the file at an interval through out the day as I always do.
I have plenty of hard drive space - so that is not the issue. I did move the project it off and delete it from the original source and try to reopen...any other suggestions or explanations for why this is happening?

Will try, Tom. I ended up just force quitting , which I lost my project.
Another question: I'm working in Photoshop Elements importing into FCE. I was told by Apple to work in 720 x 540. I created cute frames and borders around my pics. On the computer looks great, disc image looked great but when I burned to dvd, I lost most of my frames, borders. Is there any way to resize so that the borders, etc. can be seen without having to redo from scratch? Need to get this to a friend by tomorrow so I'm in a crunch for time.
Thanks so much!

An error prevents TOC from being displayed on IE8

Hello,
I am using RH 9.0.1 and IE 8.0.7. When I compile a help project in webhelp format, the TOC is not displayed in the output result. A yellow error icon is displayed in the lower left corner of the browser window with the following information:

The same occurs in Google Chrome. Does anybody know how this could be fixed?
Thank you in advance,

Hello Wiliam,
Thank you for your reply.
You are right, the search and index are not working either. I knew about the Chrome issue when opened locally. If I follow the instructions on the website you mentioned, the webhelp will show the contents, but not the TOC, and the Index and Search do not work either. The same problem occurs on Firefox 3.6.3. I am not using Chrome Frame in Internet Explorer.
Basically, what I get is a blank TOC, a blank Index and the Search does not work. When I click on the "Error on page" yellow icon I get the error message I posted above. Any suggestions?
I've used RH 7 before and I never had this issue.
Tony

"Invalid \escape" error preventing me from adding work email

Hello, I have been having a series of issues with my BlackBerry Q10 - sorry for the surge of threads, but these bugs seem unrelated and I would like to make separate threads to make them easier to search for others having similar problems.
I have been attempting to add my work email to my BlackBerry Q10. My username is "corp\myname". I am met with this error:
http://i486.photobucket.com/albums/rr224/pidge01pub/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_00000403_edit.png
Using a double backslash merely tells me my settings are incorrect. I have attempted this upwards of ten times now, so I doubt the rest of my exchange info is the problem.
I have a Q10 with software 10.2.0.429. Wondering if there is a fix. Thank you.

Well it has been 4 days since you posted your question so I assume no-one is sure of the answer, maybe you can ask your work administrator or Rogers for help.

Prevent iTunes from Re-Transferring Purchases During Every Sync

Whenever I sync my iPhone 5S, iTunes goes through a process of "transferring purchases" (always apps) that takes a really long time.
It is is step 4 of 6 in the syncing process.
However, none of the apps that I watch it "transfer" are actually new. For example, I've had the Facebook app for almost a year. But every time I sync my phone, iTunes "transfers" the Facebook app (among others).
How do I get this to stop? Does it have something to do with the fact that apps are updated? Does that make iTunes think they are new?

I am having a similar issue when i sync my iphon4. Both my itunes and iphone are updated to the most recent ios and it is very frustrating to see itunes transferring old, already existing, purchased apps every freaking single time I sync my phone. It significantly slows down the sync process.
Can someone in Apple please help!.

Workshop Domain Prevents Agents from listening on ports

Hello,
It took me quite a while to diagnose this. I'm trying to run a profiler
with BEA Weblogic 8.1. I have a Weblogic Workshop Domain template. I've
tried using many commercial products, in particular JProfiler, but they
would not connect to their profiling agent.
I found the causes to be the Weblogic Workshop domain. Here's the
explanation:
Profilers use the JVMPI interface to start their agent.
Here's an example JVM args for JProfiler
-Xint -Xrunjprofiler:port=8849 "-Xbootclasspath/a:C:\Program
Files\jprofiler\bin\agent.jar"
You can see it tries to run the agent on port 8849
When this is placed in a Weblogic Server domain, the agent starts up
fine on port 8849.
However, when I make a Weblogic Workshop domain, the agent does not
start up.
Can someone please explain why this may be, and a way to fix it?
Thank You

I found out what causing this issue, it's a fault of JProfiler's BEA
script generation.
When the WLW domain template is used, there is an echo statement of the
Java VM args, before the server is actually started.
JProfiler modifies that echo line to add its args, instead of modifying
the actual startup line.
Took me a while to notice that, since WL was echoing the proper args,
but was starting without them!
