A Slew of Problems...Where to Begin?

I'm hoping the following issues are all related so here goes...
I recently got an iPhone 4 (had to replace a 3Gs after it got wet) and after restoring and syncing from a backed up iTunes file:
*Issue 1*). When I launch the phone's email app I get a succession of error messages (I have about 5 different accounts from two carriers -- AT&T and Earthlink) saying "CANNOT GET MAIL -- No password provided for "AT&T___. Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password."
I don't seem to have a problem with the Earthlink account, just the AT&T one.
Well. I've re-input the password NUMEROUS times but it doesn't seem to hold.
*Issue 2)*. When I sync my iPhone to my Mac, none of the changes made on the iphone make it to Mac apps for example iCal -- I've scheduled several appointments which show up on the phone, but after syncing, they don't appear when I launch iCal on the Mac. Furthermore, I switched the colors of the Calendars e.g. Home (green), Work (Blue) -- but on the iPhone they are the [original] opposites.
*Issue 3*). I noticed that when I launch my phone's email program and it fetches for new data/emails, the Updated date below says October 31st (today is November 10th). I've checked all the areas where the date would be set and everything seems normal. NOTE: I just "re-scanned" again while typing this and the message now says "Getting 71 of 71 emails"...!!)...and now the date is current! Although I can see duplicate emails now.
I can get through the email issues at the moment, it's the non-syncing of iCal that's driving me nuts. Thanks!
iPhone 4.1/iTunes 10

There may have been a problem with your iPhone 3GS backup or in regards to some of the data that was included with the backup. Email account settings are included with the backup. If so, transferring the backup to a new iPhone or restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup will also transfer or restore the problem.
Try deleting and manually recreating the email account on your iPhone with the problem.
Regarding the calendar events syncing problem, try resetting the sync history on your Mac which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.

I have paid for the Mountain Lion. But for some reason, I cannot seem to download it, despite software being upgraded. Anyone facing this problem where the download does not begin? How can I solve this?

I have paid for the Mountain Lion. But for some reason, I cannot seem to download it, despite software being upgraded. Anyone facing this problem where the download does not begin? How can I solve this?

Make sure your Mac qualifies to run Mountain Lion > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
Try disabling anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferencs > Security & Privacy
Apps such as Little Snitch and Net Nanny can prevent apps from downloading from the App store including Mountain Lion.
Third party download managers are not compatible with the App Store.
Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

Just a SLEW of Problems

I have the original MacBook Pro from 2006. It's the 15.4" Model and has a 2.16GHz Processor. It's almost three years old and I am having a slew of problems. I do have AppleCare, and I intend to take it to my local Apple Store this week. I just like going in with an idea of what can be done.
Here are my problems (please note, these are consistent over multiple reinstalls of Mac OS X)...
On the keyboard, sometimes the 9, 0, O, and P keys will not work. To fix this problem, I have to restart.
There is a large gap between the lower part of the casing and the plastic strip on the front left portion of my laptop.
The very right portion of my display is sometimes dimmer than the rest of the display. This display has already been replaced once.
The batter quickly drains to 20%, if I plug in the charger it will charge quickly back to 100%. If I close the lid when it is between 10% and 20% and then reopen it right away, it is at 0%. I have tried to recondition the battery using Apples steps and others multiple times. The problem persists.
My charger light turns green after about 15 minutes, despite the fact that it is still charging.
My wireless network connection is dropped if my battery drops below 20%. I have to plug in to power and restart to get it working.
I baby this machine, and these problems have been slowing getting worse over the past few months. Any suggestions as to what needs to be done? Will Apple fix them all?
Thanks.

Sounds like you're having tons of fun!
I have the same Macbook Pro you have (year, size, processor, etc.) and I've run into a few problems myself. Your issues aren't horrible, so don't be discouraged.
Depending on how you type, the keys on your keyboard can be pretty sensitive. The connection between the physical key you touch and the sensor that detects the "press" of your finger is sensitive. It's kind of like an old television remote that has a button you have to press really hard to work. The more you use it, the more life you use. Since you have to restart for them to work, I'd say it's an issue with your Mac processing the information that your keys send and that kind of issue is usually easily fixed. Take that problem to any decent computer store and they'll most likely fix it for free.
With the large gap problem, are you saying that there is a gap between the aluminum casing and plastic strip? If that's the case, did you once drop it? I can't imagine you would have recieved your MBP with a warped casing. If it's sticking up like a cliff edge, it sounds like something has gone loose and isn't holding things tightly together anymore. If you're talking about when you close your laptop, that's simply a design flaw with the mechanism that clamps the halfs together. It's bound to losen up overtime and keep things from staying tight. But I'm sure there's an easy way to fit the aluminum closer to the plastic since the aluminum is more malible.
Your display issue sounds like there's an overall energy issue within the computer. I say that simply because if you've had your display replaced once already, it's probably not your display. It seems more like the energy being produced throughout your display isn't being properly displaced.
If you havn't replaced your battery yet, you should. If you're battery is draining quickly, it can't hold a steady charge. It's similar to a car battery; you can recharge it but if it's old and worn past it's lifetime, it won't hold the charge it used to be able to. I also keep my battery cycled like Apple instructs you, but considering how much heat the Macbook Pro's produce, your battery's life will inevitably take a toll. I have a similar issue where my battery will turn my screen off and sleep at 45%, but once I put the charger in it changes to read 0%. This is more of a registration issue and it's the computer slowing down on other processes as it loses energy.
Your wireless signal takes up a bit of your battery's energy, so check how you have your energy settings. If you have it on Better Energy Savings your Mac might just be trying to save you energy. It's like your Bluetooth; if it's on it takes up energy even if you aren't using it. Granted, you shouldn't be losing your internet connection ever but I'd say a new battery will get rid you of this problem.
I care a lot for my Mac too, but problems are innevitable. All of your problems sound fixable and inexpensive and I'd take your Mac to Apple to get a tune up. Any genius bar should help you out. Even a decent computer store could help. I hope this helps!

Will there be a fix for Firefox's problems with Hotmail. I have gone back to 3.5.9 but mostly I am disappointed by the lack of action on this serious problem where a major and critical feature of a major international website is unavailable in the Firefox browser.

We've reached out to the Hotmail team and they've determined that this is a bug in their code. (It was masked by a timing issue in 3.5 that was fixed in 3.6.) We've worked with them to develop a fix but they may not have deployed it yet.

When it was explained to me it didn't sound to hard of a task, I have no LabVIEW experience and the tutortial sucks.

StevenD: FYI, I did NOT give you the one star rating. I would never do that!

Well, this is an assignment, so it is probably homework.

This would make no sense unless all of it was just covered in class!
This is not a free homework service with instant gratification.
OK! Let's do it step by step. I assume you already have a VI with the digital indicators.
"...but have no idea where to begin".
open notepad.
decide on a format, possibly one line per indicator.
type the document.
close notepad.
open LabVIEW.
Open the existing VI with all the indicators.
(are you still following?)
look at the diagram.
Who made the program?
Does the code make sense so far?
Is it a statemachine or just a bunch of crisscrossed wires?
Where do you want to add the file read?
How should the file be read (after pressing a read button, at the start of the program ,etc.)
See how far you get!

Hi There: I am having a problem where pdf files on the web (i.e., links in a Word doc) open after an extended time and only as gobbldygook ( a file containing a series of characters and letters that make no sense). This also happens for another Mac user coworker in my office, while the PCs don't have this problem... Any help/suggestions for a fix would be most appreciated!

Have a problem where I'll occasionally shift my computer (i.e. physically move it, say from the coffee table to my lap on the couch) and it will freeze and the screen will turn into a bunch of horizontal multicolored lines (closer to 100 lines than 5). Usually restarting (by holding the power button to turn it off) works. A few times that has resulted in the three beeps (RAM issue? -- I've since replaced my RAM [it *seemed* to stop it for a while, but maybe not]), but the second time it always works. Attempting to SSH into the computer during this state does not work. Please advise as to what to do/what reports I can run and post. I will take a pic next time it happens.

Sounds like a problem with your GPU. Do you have an external display you could connect your machine to in order to test this? If the external display renders the same way, then your GPU is damaged. If the external renders fine, then the CPU display is damaged.

Screen refresh problem where data is entered and the screen doesn't refresh

Many people in the company are experiencing the odd screen refresh problem where data is entered and the screen doesn't refresh to show the updated result in corresponding cell formulas.
Microsoft have issued a hotfix to fix the issue for Excel 2003 as shown. Microsoft released a hotfix for this problem (<a href="advisory?ID=978908">KB978908</a>). Display memory tends to pick up data from hidden sheets and pastes it
into the active screen. No impact on the file. This occurs when protecting and unprotecting worksheets in VBA. I also suspect that enabling and disabling screen refresh contributes to this problem. In any case there is a fix, albeit with the following disclaimer:
As of yet I have not been able to find a fix for this for office 2010 and 2013, Any suggestions would be great.

Hi,
Based on your description, Excel does not show the text strings when you typing. It may be caused by the cell format, if we set the cell format as ";;;" in custom format, it will not display the text that you typed.
And the issue may be caused by the third-party input method, there are some compatibility issue between them.
If the issue still exits, please try the following methods
Verify/install the latest updates
Repair your Office program

I bought my MacBook Pro in 2010. This is the first Mac I have owned and recently it is having some difficulty loading we pages, often timing out. This Mac environment is entirely different for me and I am not sure where to begin troubleshooting and/ or clean-up. I have moderate computer skills and try not to download or access questionable material, however recently I visited the Ap Store and purchased a couple of different aps to use in record keeping and for making a flyer. I am not even sure how to remove these programs to see if it helps.
Any tips or tricks are appreciated.
Thank you!

Where to begin in Oracle?

Hello everyone,
I am interested in obtaining an Oracle certification but do not know where to begin. I am new to this but I work with Access so I do have an understanding of databases. I spoke with someone recently and was told to learn Linux. The person was very vague in giving out any information on the subject (he acted like I was trying to break into Fort Knox). I would really appreciate it if someone could just point me into the right direction and help me get started. I know Oracle and Access are totally different but I am ready to put in the work to obtain this incredible certification. I am going to do this on my own because I cannot afford to attend any boot camps, Oracle classes, or community colleges. I have posted this question on many so called Oracle forums but know one is willing to respond to my question. Can anyone out there help?
Thanks,
bdthomas02

I am trying to get the OCA certificationI assume in my reply below that you are referring to 1Z0-042 - Oracle Database 10g: Administration I (10g DBA OCA).
I spoke with an Oracle rep and she informed me that the classroom requirement does not apply to this certificationThat's correct. You need it only when you clear the second exam (1Z0-043).
1. Can I pass the exam by purchasing materials from a book store, Oracle website, or other suggested sources?The best source would be Oracle Training Material (Student Guides**). However, I do recommend "Oracle Database 10g OCP Certification All-In-One Exam Guide". I used this reference to clear the exams.

Sample Questions – 1Z0-042 Oracle Database 10g: Administration I

2. Do I need to know Linux in order to pass the exam (someone told me unless I know Linux I would not be able to understand the commands)?It is not necessary. See the following link for the exam topics:
Oracle Database 10g: Administration I
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_042
3. Since I do not know anything about Oracle how should I study for the exam and how long will it take to be able to pass the exam?You need to practice and work hard since you are new to Oracle. Arrange to install Oracle 10gR2 database, practice the installation, and try to cover all the topics which are listed in the link referenced above.
You can download Oracle 10gR2 database from:

Where to begin with Solaris?

I'm interested in exploring Solaris and not quite sure where to begin. Currently running Ubuntu 12.04 on a dual-quad core Intel Xeon, which version of Solaris will work best?

Hi there,
you might want to grab a copy of the Open Solaris Bible (OpenSolaris Bible: Nicholas A. Solter, Jerry Jelinek, David Miner: 9780470385487: Amazon.com: Books) which, while being a little outdated, gives a quite decent jump start into the matter. Then install Solaris - should be piece of cake if you know Linux - and simply start comparing to what you know from Linux. Alternatively, if you don't have access to Solaris, go for OpenIndiana (http://openindiana.org), which is a true descendant of Sun's former open source variant, OpenSolaris. The operating system is free, the community is friendly, and you learn quite a lot you can take with you when you start using 'real' Solaris.
Cheers
Stevie

HP 8750 Paper-Size Problem where it keeps telling me the paper is too big (it's set up for 11x17)

I've got an HP 8750 printer running with a Windows 7 Ultimate machine, and I've got a paper-size problem where it keeps telling me the paper is too big. It's set up for 11 x 17.
The actual wording on the printer is:
Paper installed is larger than needed. Press cancel to replace with correct size, if you wish to save paper, or press check mark to continue.
When you press the check mark it feeds the paper, but for a multi page-document I have to press the check mark for each page to feed.
How do I get it to print 11 x 17 paper without having to press the check mark for each page?

Has anyone else ever had a problem where you had to perform 2 datasocket writes before the datasocket read would pick up the change?

I have a local VI that is simply a control that writes to the datasocket server whenever the control value changes.(the dataitem on the server is permanent - its initialized and never released by the server)
In the same local VI I have a datasocket read polling a different dataitem on the server.
The remote machine has a VI that reads the permanent dataitem on the server once per second.
For some reason, after adding the local VI mentioned above, the remote VI stopped picking up the first change in the permanent variable.
I'd start both the local and remote VIs...
Then change the local control and the remote V
I would not update - as if the datasocket write(upon adjusting the control) did not take place. So I'd change the control value again - this time the remote VI would update to this new value. And from here on out - the remote VI would update correctly. This problem only occurs when the local VI is first started up.
What in the heck is going on?

Gorka is right, this came up on Info-LV a few days ago. Someone
described a similar problem. I replied that I had seen similar
behaviour, reported it to NI, and they verified a bug. There is no fix
yet, but they are aware of it and will fix it. No anticipated release
date for the fix.

Hi, I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. Any solutions??

Hi,
I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. I have a 3G plan but most of the time it switches automatically to EDGE. Thats when i have to either switch Airplane mode - On/Off and then it acts normal. Any permanant solutions to fix this problem?

Return the iPhone personally or via friend/relative/co-worker who is in
the US. The warranty is valid only in the country of original purchase - the USA
in this case. Apple will not accept international shipments for evaluation nor
will Apple ship out of the country after repair/replacement.
How did the iPhone from the US get to you in India? Reverse that process to
get it back to the US so someone can take it into Apple.
