After project build, code that opened a sub VI no longer works

I have a project that I am ready to build into a .exe.
I have code in the main VI that opens and runs another VI when an operator clicks on a button. When the operator is done manipulating the popup vi, he closes it and continues working in the main VI. He opens this popup VI often. The code that opens this popup vi is shown in a .jpg file attached. Obviously, if the project is built into a .exe, this code will no longer work (even if I still have the "PID Popup.vi" file in the correct location.
What is the proper method of opening a "popup" vi from a "main vi" that will still work when I build a project?
Hopefully that made sense!

simple question, did you retain the pop-up's front panel in the build? My guess is that you have not, and that you are getting an error when you invoke it, but since the errors are not handled you would not know that.
Just a guess and my $.02
Of course reflecting about 20 more seconds, you would not need to include it in the build. But remember, if you are calling other VIs that are in the build, it is a possibility of getting a compile error as you are running in the RTE and not the development environment. I would wire the error terminals and output that error cluster and look there.

Script Works In Simulator, Fails After Project Build

I have a DSP3 project that consists basically of the following:
One menu with 5 buttons.
5 tracks
I wrote a script that uses SPRM8 to determine which button was last used and to display that button when the user returns to the menu.
The script works fine when run in the Simulator. The last button used is always displayed. After building the project and testing it in DVD Player I find it doesn’t work. I burnt the project to a DVD+RW and tested in an actual DVD Player desk, but as expected it didn’t work.
Works in Simulator, but not after being built.
Can anyone suggest something I’ve either overlooked, or have gotten wrong?

The question is, the script works in the DSP3 simulator, but not after the build.
That's what I'm trying to figure out.
Thanks Karen.
I'm trying to set up the DVD so that you can jump back to the menu from any point in the track, and from any track, and still have the last active button displayed. And without going to the end of the track.
Would your suggestion do this?
Thanks Hal.
What follows is the best I can do.

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.

Apple discontinued support for PowerPC apps with Lion, I think, so you're out of luck there. No patch coming, unfortunately. Best to upgrade whatever old applications you have or, since it seems like you're using some relatively old software, scout around for replacements that give you the functionality you need.
Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Print & Scan and select your scanner from the list--if it's not there you'll need to add it (start with the little plus icon). Once you have it in the list you can click on the Open Scanner button and a pretty barebones scanner driver will load for you. But Image Capture (as mentioned previously), found in your Applications folder, will probably do the job as adequately, or better, than your old scanner software.

After update to Firefox 15 it crashes after javascript call window.close();opener.alert('test');. Is this working as intended or is it a bug?

After update to Firefox 15 it crashes after javascript call from a popup window.close();opener.alert('test');. Is this working as intended or is it a bug?

According to the pages linked to the crash ID, there is a bug report on this.
Does the crash occur as soon as you run those two lines of code, or after dismissing the alert()?
If this is your application, why are you running script commands after calling window.close()? Could you avoid the problem by using an approach like this:
 window.setTimeout(function(){opener.alert('test'},250);
window.close();

Motion's "Open Recent" Sub Menu doesn't work.

Running Motion 4 and or 5 on Mac OS 10.6.8. Open Recent Sub Menu never shows any recent items. I have dumped the prefrences files related to Motion in the ~/Library/Prefrences for the both system level and users level. Doesn't seem to help. Any ideas? We even unistalled Motion and installed the new Motion 5 from the App Store and have the same issue.
Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Uninstalling a reinstalling usually won't solve simple interface issues. Try trashing the prefs file for you Motion product. I'm on Motion 4 and I don't know where Motion 5 hides its plist file.

After updating to Firefox 3.6.13 saved passwords no longer work

Prior to updating to 3.6.13 saved usernames and passwords worked as they should (those fields were automatically filled in). Now after installing 2.6.13 most saved login info will not fill in upon entering the web site. I can go to tools, options, security, saved passwords and all are still listed, yet do not work. I have deleted a couple thinking Firefox would then ask to save login data for that same site, but it doesn't. I tried reverting back to my previous version of 3.5.16 bur saved passwords will no longer work there either.
It seems as if Firefox doesn't see the saved info.

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

After resetting all plug-ins a recently installed plugin no longer works and will not reinstall. It will not show up in the add-ons depsite saying it installed

I recently had to reset my plugins using Firefox 12 in safemode to get rid of an extension/add-on causing a redirect problem. All has been well, except a plugin I needed no longer works. It is called "missing-e" and is for Tumblr.
I have tried reinstalling it at least 5 times, per their instructions, and am now here after they said it was a browser issue. I do get prompted to install it to firefox, I have it install, I get the message it was installed correctly - but then it never shows up in either the Extensions or Plugins area under Add-Ons area (though nothing ever shows up in Extensions). And the features it enables in tumblr are not enabled.
The 'missing-e' people sent me here saying they believe this is a browser problem.

Are you talking about plugins or extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) as you mention Safe mode?
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.

After iOS 5.0.1 OTA update Siri is no longer working

Anyone having the same issue? Since I updated to 5.0.1 Siri no longer works. All I get is the typical " I'm really sorry about but I can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while ".
Any ideas? I've powered off the phone, rebooted the phone a couple of times yesterday. Didn't work. I tried this again this morning and it's not working either.

All was good, My battery and SIRI were working fine, then my bad luck that i updated my phone to iOS 5.0.1 (which is promissing better battery life and Siri funcionality). After updating all went crazy, SIRI is not working any more (it says cant do any thing right now and try later, and i am now trying from 2 days), Battery is not lasting longer then 12 hrs as it was better before. I am seriously thinking to go back to my iPhone 4 and distroy iPhone 4S

Require that all senders are authenticated no longer working

Hello,
I've already mentioned it in another thread, but maybe it's an update-issue in stead of server issue.
My problem: It seems (well, it doesn't work anymore, so it's an issue) that the option "Require that all senders are authenticated" on 'Distribution Group' not longer works. I really don't know why this happends and when it doesn't work anymore,
because it did work when creating the group (and the updates weren't available).
The situation (so maybe there's another option to find out what causes the problem):
Pineapp -> Exchange 2007 SP2 Rollup 4. The pineapp is being used before I installed updates of Exchange (and it did work with this setup), so in my opinion, this can't be the problem.
If someone could help me, or point me to a (new) direction so I can solve the problem with our Exchange server, that would be great :).

Update: When sending an email to the used distribution group, I get an bounce with 'authentication required'. When sending
an email to the user in the same group, the email is delivered in stead of bounced.
This is normal. You only enabled the "Require that all senders are authenticated" on 'Distribution Group', but the users in the same group do not have
"Require that all senders are authenticated" enabled. So the users outside of your domain still can send the mail to the users without authentication.
To batch enable the "Require that all senders are authenticated" for the users, you can use the following method:
1. Create a organizational Unit (OU), move the users to this OU.
2. Open EMS, type:
Get-mailbox -OrganizationalUnit |set-mailbox -requireSenderAuthenticationEnable:$true

Mail: CTRL Click popup gone (Copy, Paste, Open in. etc) popup no longer working in Yosemite Mail.

Hi Folks,
Current model Macbook Air, Up-to-date Yosemite. In Mail, the Control Click function no longer works on attachments. I've been using that as an option all the time, and today when I went to CTRL click on a file (PDF) to open it a different application, I realized that you no longer can even get a popup to appear. I need to open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat Pro instead of in preview. While I can certainly use workarounds, this is annoying. Is this intentional or a glitch ?.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Opened Powerbook - Now Keyboard No Longer Works :(

Hi all,
my brother asked me to upgrade the HD in his PowerBook G4 1.25Ghz. I followed instructions on iFixit and it all went well, apart from reattaching the keyboard ribbon cable. The logic board has now become damaged because one of the two clasps on either side of the plastic bracket securing the ribbon cable from the keyboard has snapped off. The ribbon cable doesn't seem to hold securely anymore and the keyboard cannot be used. The take-apart guide was a bit unclear about this; what I have is a ribbon cable with a completely stripped and exposed end which slips into a plastic bracket on the logic board and is then wedged in by a separate plastic cross-bar which clips in to the bracket using the 2 clasps at either end. Despite the fact that one of these clasps has now snapped off the ribbon cable looks like it’s pretty firmly wedged in (although it seems an uncharacteristically poor design on Apple’s part) and I’ve made double sure with a little strip of tape. I can’t see how it could be held any other way, however clearly it’s not working as the Powerbook keyboard no longer works and I have to use a USB keyboard.
I can’t figure this connection out as it looks so makeshift compared to other cables and sockets I’ve seen on Apple logic boards. Anyone have a solution to fixing this ribbon cable in so that it’s making full electrical contact as intended?
Thanks!

OK, thanks. A new logic board seems such an extreme solution, but it may be the only thing left to try
The thing is I can't really see what it is that isn't making contact with the ribbon cable. I know the clasp on one side is gone, but despite this the cable is just as firmly wedged in and tape applied over the top to ensure it doesn't ever work loose. I've re-done the connection 4 times now in the hope of making the keyboard work... but nothing. it's a real head-scratcher! You would think that simply inserting the ribbon cable into the slot would be sufficient to make electrical contact, at least for a while; and that the clasps are there just to make sure it doesn't become detached over time.... but it doesn't work no matter how hard it's pushed in!
I don't suppose anyone has a close-up picture of the connection? I want to see if I'm putting it in right. thanks!

After upgrade to Yosemite SMB connection to remote server no longer works. WHY?

HI,
Before I upgraded to Yosemite I had mapped a connection to a directory on a remote server using SMB. After upgrading from OS 10.9 these connections no longer work.
Any idea why? Nothing on either the remote network server or the SMB mapping has changed.

There appears to be a problem with Firefox 20 with UNC paths when using roaming profiles on a server.
This is currently investigated and tracked via this bug report.

When opening iPhoto 9.5.1 a dialog box appears: "A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported". "Would you like to import it?" After appearing twice iPhoto then opens normally with no changes and works OK. Why dose this happen.

Unwanted dialog box when opening iPhoto.

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.
