5800 - Questions when switching on

Hi,
I have updated my 5800 to the latest firmware but now each time I turn it on (when it crashes and restarts itself) it immediatelly before I see the main screen asks:
"Allow application to use network to send or receive data"
Yes | No
I usually hit Yes, then it has "Welcome to email setup". I just hit Exit here. My email account is already setup.
Any ideas how to prevent this so it just starts normally?
Many thanks,
Jack
Solved!

maybe your email setup is lost when you updated your firmware

Images maximize (full screen) when switching windows?

When working with two or more images in Fireworks CS3 (Mac OSX 10.5.7)....
The image windows blast into full screen display when switching between images. I am new to CS3, (convert from Studio 8) but cannot find where to stop this irritating behaviour. I can correct by selecting Window>>Cascade - temporarily... But, when I click on another image window, that image blasts into full-screen again.
How can I stop this?
I really hate posting (usually preferring instead to lurk and scour the answers to my questions from previous posts). But, I am forced to post this question in hopes of a quick, simple solution to stop the lurching madness that makes me feel queasy every time my screen blasts an image into full screen mode..
Any help is appreciated... really, it is. :-)

OK, this is possibly a bug.
After restarting today, the problem did not occur until about an hour working with FW.
A restart did NOT stop it. So, I restarted again and tried three different files... It was fine for a while and then started the same thing again.
I am starting to lose hope that it is something I can do to prevent this. It appears that FW and Carbon are not playing together nicely.

Help! mail dissappears when switching from junk training to automatic mode

I'm a new Mail user recently switched from 20 years of Eudora. I'm using Mail with a standard POP account. I've had no trouble setting up mailboxes and importing my old mail.
I've been using junk filtering in training mode for the past few weeks and want to switch to automatic mode. When I tried doing this, all of my inbox messages suddenly disappeared. I quit mail and rebuilt my inbox and found myself with thousands of duplicated messages. I'm using Andreas Amann's remove duplicates script to clean up my inbox (it's taking forever but working!)
My inbox has about 7000 messages currently. My practice with Eudora has always been to keep the current year in the inbox and archive at the beginning of the new year. I'd like to continue this with Mail.
A couple questions:
1) will rebuilding a mailbox cause duplicates? When should one use rebuild?
2) do I just need to be more patient and let mail do its thing when switching from training mode to automatic?
3) is 7000 messages considered too many for a single mailbox?
Any help much appreciated. Many thanks!

1) will rebuilding a mailbox cause duplicates?
No.
When should one use rebuild?
This question doesn’t have a simple answer in the case of Mail 2.x and POP accounts.
2) do I just need to be more patient and let mail do its thing
when switching from training mode to automatic?
I think so.
3) is 7000 messages considered too many for a single mailbox?
There is a limit on the overall size of individual mailboxes rather than on the number of messages stored in them -- see Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty.

Orange Screen when switching

Hello, I recently bought a 15" mac book pro and partitioned the hard drive and installed 64 bit windows 7 on it, recently when switching from OSX to windows 7 using boot camp a orange screen with a white line will display and the computer is locked up. When turned off and turned back on windows 7 usually starts normally. I hadn't seen a similar topic on a similar problem and was wondering if I should be concerned.

I know exactly what you mean regarding Orange, ever since they were taken over by France Telecom they have been going downhill.
I ported away all of my Orange contract and PAYG numbers a few months back to o2 and Tesco myself.
I find the Orange branding on my old unlocked 6230 that I gave my mother serves as a reminder that they will never get a penny from me again. The branding does not affect any functionality as far as I can tell on Tesco.
I did have bluetooth issues with mine, so I had it updated at a Nokia service centre to 5.50 which cured most of the problems. If your handset is out of warranty they can charge anything up to around £20 for the firmware to be updated and depending on how you had it unlocked it could come back relocked to Orange, you could also have a word to see if anything can be done about the Orange branding if it still irritates you while you are there.
First use the search to see if your question has already been answered...
Secondly I will not knowingly assist in breaking the forum rules.
My information is always changing, what I post at the time is usually true.

Question re switching data off abroad but using Wi-Fi

I bought an 8900, as it had wi-fi, and I had assumed when I switched data off when roaming, I would be able to use wi-fi to connect to the internet.
Just tried an experiment at home, and switched data off under mobile network options, connected to my home network via wi-fi, and tried to use my browser. I then got an error message saying couldn't connect to the internet.
Is there anyway to accomplish what I am trying to do? I use Gmail for mail, so had assumed I'd be able to switch off my data package while roaming, and just connect to Gmail via the web using wi-fi when abroad.
TIA

yes... absolutely yess... it will work i tried it and it works... switched off my Mobile Network(GSM) and tried to connect on a wifi hotspot voila! i can send & received email use all BB Application such as BB Mesenger and Yahoo messenger,
Now the question is "switching data off abroad but using Wi-Fi" yes it should work and it is documented Accessing BlackBerry Data Services Using Wi-Fi Networks
All you need is an internet connection thru WIFI
1. A Wi-Fi connection profile must be added for each hotspot or home Wi-Fi network.
Wi-Fi connection profiles can easily be configured via the Set Up Wi-Fi wizard. The
correct service set identifier (SSID), security type, security key or credentials are
necessary for this configuration. Additionally, hotspot users may need to have
additional credentials or agree to the hotspot provider’s terms and conditions for use.
These can be entered when using the Set Up Wi-Fi wizard.
2. In most cases, no other additional configuration will be necessary. Once connected,
authenticated, and authorized to use the hotspot or home Wi-Fi network, all
provisioned BlackBerry data services should be available. This is accomplished by
establishing an SSL connection via port 443 to the BlackBerry Infrastructure
but one thing im not sure if the data plan or packages are consumed also or does it affect my BIS data plan
For hotspot or home Wi-Fi network users

Inform users on unsaved data when switching between/starting new TaskFlows?

Hi
In our case, we are using the multiTaskFlow concept to dynamically start new TaskFlows in Tabs. The simple requirement is to have a generic way to inform users on modified unsaved data when switching or starting new TaskFlow
I did research in google for answers, but did not found anything working.
For example, I added following checks (df=dirtyFlag) just before switching between Tabs and Menu-items:
boolean df1 = am.getApplicationModuleDef().isDirty();
boolean df2 = ControllerContext.getInstance().getCurrentRootViewPort().isDataDirty();
boolean df3 = ControllerContext.getInstance().getCurrentViewPort().isDataDirty();
boolean df4 = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getDirtyPageHandler().isDataDirty();
boolean df5 = am.getTransaction().isDirty();
boolean df6 = am.getDBTransaction().isDirty();
boolean df7 = bindingContext.getDefaultDataControl().isTransactionDirty();
boolean df8 = dcBindingContainer.getDataControl().isTransactionModified();
boolean df9 = dcBindingContainer.getDataControl().isTransactionDirty();
Start Application and perform a TAB switch without searching or changing anything
df1 true
df2 false
df3 false
df4 false
df5 false
df6 false
df7 false
df8 false
df9 false
Within a TaskFlow I perform a SEARCH and perform a TAB switch, flags change to following:
df1 true
df2 true
df3 true
df4 true
df5 true
df6 true
df7 false
df8 false
df9 false
I MODIFY values within TF and perform a TAB switch, flags remain same and regardless what I do, they remain so:
df1 true
df2 true
df3 true
df4 true
df5 true
df6 true
df7 false
df8 false
df9 false
Do you know a working approach?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
its for when you leave a view, not when you switch task flows in a page. To get back to your question, one thing you forgot to mention is what data control state is it that the task flows have: shared or isolated? If they have a shared state then only a single transaction is on and you should be able to tell the dirty state by calling
boolean df2 = ControllerContext.getInstance().getCurrentRootViewPort().isDataDirty();
However, if the task flow is in isolated mode then you will need to get a handle to the data control frame used by that task flow.
BindingContext ctx = oracle.adf.controller.binding.BindingUtils.getBindingContext();
String frameName = ctx.getCurrentDataControlFrame();
DataControlFrame frame = ctx.findDataControlFrame(frameName);
boolean isDirty = frame.isTransactionDirty();
//see: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15051_01/apirefs.1111/e10653/oracle/adf/model/DataControlFrame.htmlHowever, this information is only available from within the task flow, which means to check this from the outside you need to provide a mechanism to get to this information (contextual events would be an option. You define a contextual event receiver on the task flows that when called checks the current transaction state and then "fires" the answer back to the caller, which then obtains a map of task flow transaction states to check before navigating away or switching task flows.

How to avoid slide rebuild when switching back to Keynote?

We're doing a presentation in which we occasionally Cmd-Tab switch from Keynote to Safari to demonstrate the features of a Web application. Many of our slides use the nice Keynote builds.
When switching back to Keynote, though, the slide being displayed rebuilds instead of simply appearing as it was when switched away. So if we show a slide that fades in three bullet points over 10 seconds, switch to Safari to show the feature we talked about, and then switch back to go on to the next slide, we have to wait for the entire 10-second build again.
We've tried using Spaces instead of Cmd-Tab to switch to Safari, but Keynote seems to grab on to all of the hotkeys. Ctrl-Option-Arrows and Ctrl-Option-Numbers during Keynote playback don't switch spaces, but change slides instead.
One clunky solution we're considering is adding a static (non-built) copy of each slide where we switch to the demo -- that is, we present over the build, then proceed to the copy before switching away. This might work, but if questions come up and we need to switch to Safari during any other slide with a build, we're still coming back to a repeated build.
Is there an option we've missed that prevents re-building the slide when Keynote "gets focus" again?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer!

I don't think you can go back to the end of a slide with builds - after the builds have finished. So your "clunky" solution, = some kind of similar workaround, may be your only option. I've just worked out another one which might work visually for you, but also "clunky".
The idea is to always go from your slide, wherever you happen to be in your presentation, first to a static slide which looks like a Safari window (made from a screen shot), and from there to real Safari. You can do this easily by adding a hyperlink on all your slides to that one (if you want it on all your slides, put it on the master). When you're done with real Safari you'll come back to the same faux-Safari slide. That's the easy part.
Now, you want to get back to the right place in your presentation. This is more complicated, depending on how many slides you have in all, or at least, slides from which you may want to go demonstrate Safari again. Put hyperlinks on your faux-Safari slide, each one leading to the slide you want to continue from, or even a link to each and every one of your slides. Obviously, this might be unworkable with a huge presentation, but, with a little graphic fiddling, and some presentation practice, it might work.

MEX-BT3100P How to disable beeps when switching to Bluetooth

I use my iPhone for navigation, and it switches to Bluetooth automatically to speak the directions. The MEX-BT3100P beeps twice and takes too long when switching to Bluetooth as the source. So I miss the first few words from the navigation directions.
How can I disable the beeps? And/or speed up the switching to Bluetooth?
Thanks.

Sony® head units produce a beep sound when buttons are pressed. To mute the beep sounds, simultaneously press the SEL or SOUND button and the 6 button on the head unit at the same time. Pressing these buttons a second time will restore the beep function.
NOTES:
The beep function can not be activated when connected to an external amplifier.
This procedure encompasses most Sony® head units. However, consult the instruction manual for specific information if necessary.

Dreamweaver 6.1 - JavaScript error when switching between open tabs

When switching between open tabs a sequence of javascript
errors occurs. I had not used Dreamweaver for about 2 weeks, and
last time I used it with no problems.
I have tried uninstalling it, OKing removal of all files when
asked, re-installing it and updating with dwmx61_updater.exe, but I
still get the same errors.
This has rendered the software virtually unuseable, so any
help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm working to a
rapidly-approaching deadline.
"While executing Browse_Back enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
followed by
"While executing Browse_Forward enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
followed by
"While executing Browse_Stop enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
The relevant code seems to be :

<toolbar id="Browser_Toolbar" platform="win"
label="Browser Navigation" container="document"
initiallyVisible="false">
<button id="Browse_Back"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/back.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/back_dis.gif"
tooltip="Back"
label="Back"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.isCmdEnabled('back')"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.backPage()"
update="onEveryIdle"/>
<button id="Browse_Forward"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/forward.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/forward_dis.gif"
tooltip="Forward"
label="Forward"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.isCmdEnabled('forward')"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.forwardPage()"
update="onEveryIdle"/>
<button id="Browse_Stop"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/stop.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/stop_dis.gif"
tooltip="Stop"
label="Stop"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.getPageBusy()"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.stopPage()"
update="onBrowserPageBusyChange"/>
<button id="Browse_Refresh"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/browserRefresh.gif"
tooltip="Refresh"
label="Refresh"
enabled="true"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.refreshPage()"/>
presumably the next error is caused by the previous ones
failing :
"While executing getCurrentValue in AddressURL.htm, a
JavaScript error occurred"
the relevan tcode :
function getCurrentValue()
var dom = dw.getDocumentDOM();
var value = dom.browser.getURL();
if (value && value.length)
//check if is it not a temp file
//extract the tail of the url
var filename = value;
var slashIndex = filename.lastIndexOf("/");
filename = filename.substring(slashIndex+1);
var tempIndex = filename.indexOf("TMP");
if (tempIndex != 0)
addRecentAddress(value);
return value;

You can try this simple fix -
Quit DW.
Find this folder -
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\WinFileCache-*.dat
(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use
Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options to unhide them)
and delete it.
Restart DW. Works better?

Am being prompted to enter security questions when making a purchase on my new IPad. I don't believe I have ever setup security questions on my apple id. How to I create new security questions?

I am being prompted to enter security questions when making a purchase on my new IPad. I don't believe I have ever setup security questions on my apple id. I have tried logging into my apple id and have chosen the security and priviacy settings to set up security questions. However I am prompted to enter answers to security questions and am told they don't match. How to I create new security questions or reset them?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Graphic distortion when switching between external and built-in display (rMBP)

Recently (within the past two weeks or so) I've noticed a strange issue when switching between my external display (Thunderbolt) and my built-in display on my 15" rMBP. The following issue seems to be specific to Photoshop CS6.
Typically, I'll have a PS document open on my external display and I'll wind up taking my to another location. If I close the PS document while on my built-in and then re-open it, I get all kinds of distortion and pixellation. Closing out PS and reopining, restarting, logging on/off; none of it seems to work. It seems like the issue is with the PSD itself, but it doesn't make any sense to me. Any ideas? Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/iCipSc7.jpg

Do you have intel gpy as well as other graphic card? You may be viewing document on different gpu's. PS does not like multiple gpu's.

Photos in Develop module look different when switching to library module

Hello everyone this is my first post on adobe. I ran into a problem today for the first time using lightroom 5. I recently purchased lightroom 5 about 2 weeks ago and have been in love using it. I have ran into 0 problems until today. I uploaded some new photos and was going through them under the develop module editing the photos and what not. When I am done editing I usually go to the library module and export them.
Today I tried to do that exact thing and ran into this issue: the colors in the photo are changing ever so slightly when I switch to the library module and are not exporting exactly as I edited them in the develop module.
I have tried changing the contrast/clarity to see if it would remain when switching and it does. But for some reason the yellow on the flower in the picture becomes less vibrant when seen/exported from library module. It is very frustrating because I spend alot of time editing the photo in a develop module and every transfers but the colors it seems. It becomes more dull and less vibrant.
It is not the photo itself. I think it is something wrong with my lightroom? I uninstalled and reinstalled and the same issue keeps happening.

Just to clarify. When you compare the exported image to the original inside LR do they look the same when viewed together in the Library module, and how about when both are viewed in the Develop module? Are you using a wide gamut monitor and do you also use a hardware monitor calibrator? All of these things affect how images looks in LR and some are fixable, but others are not as Web Weaver posted.
There is also another issue that can cause the Library module view and exported images to look different than they do in the Develop module:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/afm8rbh6tnc31
The solution is to view the image at 1:1 (100%) view size. You can also use more conservative Sharpening settings (i.e. lower) and more aggressive Luminance Noise Reduction settings (i.e. higher), which will significantly decrease the view difference.

[SOLVED] screen brightness too low when switching tty

I have autologin enabled in LightDM, so when I boot I am taken to my MATE desktop automatically. This happens in the default tty (tty1).
Sometimes I want to switch to a different virtual terminal (e.g., by pressing Control+Alt+F2) without ending my session in tty1. However, most of the time when I do this I find that the brightness in the new tty (e.g., tty2) is so low that I can hardly see the login prompt. When I switch back to tty1 the brightness in the X session is fine. Switching back to tty2 I see that it is still dim. Hitting either the brightness-up or the brightness-down (!?) key on the laptop causes the brightness in tty2 to jump to normal.
Does anyone know how to fix this so that when I switch to a different tty the brightness is at a reasonable level right away? I am on a Lenovo Thinkpad T520 (no Nvidia, just integrated Intel graphics) in case it matters.
Last edited by bdantas (2014-08-19 17:53:05)

As an experiment, I logged in to non-graphic mode in tty1 (by adding "systemd.unit=multi-user.target" to grub2's kernel line), then tried switching ttys. No brightness problems!
As another experiment, I allowed regular boot to my desktop in tty1 (LightDM -> MATE autologin) but then got out of graphical mode by opening a terminal emulator and typing "sudo systemctl isolate multi-user.target". Once I had a cli in tty1 I then tried switching ttys. Again, no brightness problems.
I can conclude that when switching tty's, the new tty is too dim only if I have a graphical session running in tty1. Therefore, I don't think this is a kernel problem. Seems that something related to lightDM or X or MATE running in tty1 is causing the problem.

Stor.e TV+ No Loader error keeps coming up when switching on

I have been experiencing continual problems accessing the hard drive. "No Loader" error message keeps coming up when switching on.
The so-called "solution" to this problem posted on this forum is to open up the box and fiddle with the cables. Whilst I have had some success with this method initially, dismantling the box 10 times a week is not on.
I tried something else in desperation.
When the No Loader message comes up, I switch the box off and on again from the remote.
After 2 or 3 times or so the HDD folder usually appears.
I have been doing this consistently now with great success. This however suggests that the No Loader error message is NOT a mechanical connector problem with the hard drive but (as usual) poor software (what else?).
Dismantling the unit is tantamount to switching it off for an extended period of time so may explain why this technique works.
Switching the unit on and off several times also solves the problem of the D folder not appearing on the network even though Win7 shows Store-TV-Plus as a mapped NTFS drive (but can't find the D folder).
See the similarity?
Another thing that exacerbates problems is the unit's poor ventilation. The first thing that happens with this unit is that the rubbish stick-on rubber feet fall off.
Whilst this may seem innocuous, the ventilation slots are underneath the unit and will be blocked if there are no feet. I live in a hot country so this device gets pretty hot and behaves even more erratically unless well ventilated.
Ideally keep it well away from other units and preferably sit it on a small box by itself with the vents underneath well exposed.
I also still experience problems playing FLAC and MKV files. The unit occasionally loses synch with FLAC files which generally otherwise play OK and locks up or causes loud bangs or white noise on the speakers (dangerous).
Some MKV files just don't play at all even though VLC plays them. There are a myriad other inconsistencies but these are the most annoying.
Is anyone else experiencing these problems or does anyone have any other solutions to prevent these problems?
I don't suppose we can expect another software upgrade from Toshiba? In your dreams, pal.

OK, so I took the risk and updated the firmware of my Stor.e TV+ to the Noontec V8S latest firmware V3.0816.13_V8S from noontec website.
The update went fine without a hitch (took about 2 minutes from an old 256MB flash drive plugged into the back USB port of the unit, which I formatted before using), and some of the irritating shortcomings of the Toshiba firmware was solved. Samba worked in some fashion, but I was still not able to download songs directly to the Stor.e over wireless, which is the only other feature I currently need. The irritating remote control buttons were changed to the way any sane person would use them (I had changed my universal remote control to correct this, so would have to change the settings if I kept the updated firmware) The new firmware seems solid, but I DON'T USE THE VIDEO CAPABLITIES, so I can't comment on this.
One major drawback of this update for me is that the small display on the unit becomes much less readable. Seems like there is a problem with the font on the new firmware. I use my Stor.e exclusively as a flac music player, and since I don't have it connected to a tv the small display is crucial for me to select tracks or disks. I have 300+ discs, so the Stor.e is an excellent cheap media player which I connect to my HIFI system via a DAC.
I thus had to change back to the Toshiba firmware to correct this problem. Seems like I would still have to use USB to download music to the Stor.e when I buy new CDs. What a pity.
Incidentally, the new Toshiba firmware is very much like the old firmware, in that it lacks the capability to switch on Samba. In the readme Toshiba states that the new firmware fixes a network problem, but I think that this is probably the smallest issue most users have with the Toshiba firmware.
So, my advice to anyone having video, control or other issues with the Toshiba firmware is to flash to the Noontec firmware to see if it resolves their issues. If it doesn't one can always revert to the official Toshiba firmware as I did.
You do this at your own risk though, if you brick your unit don't blame me...
