Hi Tom,
Thanks for giving me direction. I am student and totally new to this hyper-v, so bit slow in understanding right now
This is the location of the files when i had extracted from rar file

when I opened the bat file -- location of the file
SET SUBDIR=%~dp0
mklink "%SUBDIR%Virtual Hard Disks\Base12B-W8.vhd" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Learning\Base\Base12B-W8.vhd"

and then i have changed the dir path to
SET SUBDIR=%~dp0

When I tried to run the batch file then I got following message -- Can't creat a file when that file already exists.
Please advise

A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet.

I have CS3 - Design Premium.
I had it installed on my old computer which crashed and was reformatted. I have a new computer now and am trying to install it again but I am getting an error that says:
Registration Unscuccessful
A Problem was encountered while trying to send information over the internet.
My internet is obviously working since this is the same computer...

I was getting the error “Registration Unsuccessful”, “A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet” at start-up of "Acrobat 8 Pro" on Windows 8.1.
Setting compatibility on the .exe file to "Windows XP, Service Pack 3" didn't work for me. The problem persisted.
I was told by someone at Adobe support (by chat) to try this, but this didn't work either:
1. Disconnect your Internet connection by disconnecting the cable or by　turning off Wi-Fi.
2. Relaunch the Adobe application.
3. When the registration prompt appears, select "Never Register."
4. Connect to the Internet.
I finally made the error at start up go away as follows:
First I found that if I run the Acrobat.exe file as Administrator it doesn't give the error. (I do have to approve a user account control to do this.) I right clicked the actual Acrobat.exe file and selected "Run as administrator". You may be able to also right click the icon on you desktop and do the same.
While running the application as Administrator, I then tried a few things: Clicking “Never Register”, and “Deactivating” and “Reactivating” the license, and then clicking “Never Register” again... while running the application as Administrator. Some combination of those actions seems to have cleared up the problem for when I run the application with normal privileges.

I keep getting the error message, "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet." when I try to activate Acrobat 8.1. How do I fix this?

I have already verified that we have not exceeded the two allowed activations, yet it seems that the Activation server won't connect. Is there a work around for this?

Hello,
Try following step and check if issue gets resolved or not.
Find Acrobat.exe on your computer. Right click the program and click 'Troubleshoot Compatibility'. Set the compatibility to Windows XP service pack 3.
Regards,
Anoop

A problem was encountered with one of the files in TestStand\AdapterSupport\LabVIEW directory

When looking at the module for a LabVIEW VI being called from TestStand, I get the following message:
A problem was encountered with one of the files in TestStand\AdapterSupport\LabVIEW directory. Please reinstall it or repair it.
I made the mistake of cleaning up C: in my computer. Cleaning C:\National Instruments Downloads
Why would someone put bits of applications or modules, etc in such a directory?
I am not too crazy about restoring 11GB back into that folder. That's just insane!
Has anyone encountered this before? Any "easy" solutions? apart from re-installing TS...
Side note: I did not touch anything in the \Program Files|National Instruments\TestStand\AdapterSupport\LabVIEW
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks PH,
I also had that. Fixed it.
I will not remove the ones in the NI downloads folder.
I will eventually need to remap everything to the appropriate drive.
I partition the drives into:
C:\     Windows and associated folders. Mostly OS stuff
E:\     Applications (this is where it will end up)
F:\     Files
G:\    Storage
H:\    Backups
I try to do what I normally implement in Linux. I hate sharing the OS with everything else.
Cheers,

Moved my library to an external hard drive. Now I get this message when trying to import video: Cannot start ingest because there is no storage location set. Please set one under Storage in Preferences and try again.

I recently moved my iMovie Library and all of its contents to an external hard drive. I then erased the library and all of its contents from my iMac HD and created a new library. Now when I try to import video from my DV camera I get this message: Cannot start ingest because there is no storage location set. Please set one under Storage in Preferences and try again. There is no way to set a storage location in Preferences. I have chosen an Event in the middle drop down box. But it still will not import. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My iTunes library is set up the way I said in the top post and works totally fine.
Yes, and that is the default structure to which I was referring. iTunes will organize it that way automatically unless people do start changing settings (in which case they should know what they are doing and how iTunes works with library files and media structure.)
Both ways work, the advantages of mine would be that should iTunes try looking fo a library, it will always be in the default location.
It makes people think they have to change media location in preferences. They do not unless they want to relocate media only and leave other things on their internal drive (in which case there is no point in copying library files to the external, and you certainly wouldn't want to then delete them from your internal).
Downside is that then should someone move their iTunes library to anther computer they need to remember to get those library files on the external hard drive.
Just copy the whole iTunes folder and it will get the library files to the other drive in one step, along with all the other files.
Your post has good stuff but it makes a move appear intimidating and look like people have to do a lot of organizing to move the collection. It also throws in extra steps (namely altering preference settings) that could cause confusion or even make a mess of things. If people leave iTunes to default preference settings (which most people do) the move summarizes into a short line: Copy a folder and hold an extra button the next time you start iTunes.
Note that the instructions in the link I provided earlier do also include many steps, but those are to ensure that everybody does have it all organized correctly before simply copying the iTunes folder. In the end it is just a simple action.

My iPhone never had a problem syncing with my iTunes. I check all the songs I want and when I manually connect the phone to the computer via USB, i would select "sync only checked songs and videos". No music will sync now and I've tried everything?

Normally my phone would connect with my computer and replace all the songs on my phone with all the songs available in my library. Now it seems as if the songs on my phone are permanently there, and nothing from my iTunes library will sync. I tried syncing with another library on another computer and nothing would sync onto my iPhone from that one either. I feel like it's a problem with the phone, not the iTunes, but I'm not sure. Ive been trying things for the last 8 hours. Why won't my music sync to my phone??

1. Open iTunes.
2. Click the View option in the iTunes menu.
3. Select the Show Sidebar option.
Connect your phone, select it in the Sidebar...the various tabs will now show as before.

Has anyone encountered this before ?

I'm synching file which could be a few MB. But this does not happen all the time. And if the data is hugh, should it just stop synching or synch slowly, instead of deleting all the files ?

Hey, Thanks for your help.

My keyboard backlight not working even after resetting smc nd nvram, this problem was encountered after i upgraded my memory.

help guys

Does the keyboard backlighting if you reinstall the original RAM?
Perhaps you inadvertently disconnected a cable when you installed the new RAM. An appointment at an Apple store genius bar may be a good option.
Ciao.
