Have it 2x reinstallated from the CD but the help function still gives the same popup HEPLFUNCTION NOT INSTALLED how do I fix this?????? I cannot get it installed.

Hi Yolanda,
Remove the current version of Photoshop installed.
And try downloading it from the steps below and then reinstall instead of installing it from the disk.
1. Navigate to Photoshop CS6 Downloads page : http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop
2. Sign in with your Adobe ID
3. Copy and paste the following links on the address bar one at a time and hit enter :
Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended English Windows
http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PHSP/12/win32/Photoshop_12_LS1.7z
http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PHSP/12/win32/Photoshop_12_LS1.exe
4. Save both the files.
5. Run the .exe file to start the installation.

After upgrade Script No Longer Works

After I upgraded CS4 to .605 my script no longer works. I get:
Error Number:45
Error String: Object is Invalid
Line 12
Source: myParStyle.baselineshift = -1;
Here are my first 12 lines:
var doc = app.documents[0]
var color = doc.colors.item("C=100 M=65 Y=0 K=0");
var inlines = doc.stories.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem().getElements();
for(var i=0;i<inlines.length;i++){
    if (inlines[i] instanceof Group){continue}
    if(inlines[i].fillColor != color){continue}
    if(inlines[i].contents == ""){continue}
    inlines[i].convertShape(ConvertShapeOptions.CONVERT_TO_RECTANGLE);
    myChangeCorners(inlines[i], 0, .3, "fourth point");
var myParStyle = doc.paragraphStyles.item("Tab_HeadB_KO");
myParStyle.baselineShift = -1;
What do I need to change to get this to work again?
Thanks,

So it's still somewhat a mystery, because that particular command didn't change from CS4 to CS5.
Can you try the 'fix' mentioned here? CS5 issues

After update Airport no longer works

Hey All,
I've had my PBG4 for over a year now and have a APE Base to go with it. About a month or so ago I ran the apple update program and walked away while all the programs were installing. Upon rebooting my laptop I no longer see my base station at all. The base station is located 4 inches from the laptop while I'm home. I do no remember which patches were installed at the time. I am assuming that it was an AirPort patch that is causing this issue but I can't tell it if it was the base station that upgraded or the airport card.
Currently I am cabled into the base station directly but I'd like to be able to go wireless so I can use the laptop around the house again.
Anyone got any info/ideas on this?
Also I'd revert back to an old version to test it out but I read in a couple of posts that you can't scale back.

Hi there BDAqua...
I used this Pacifist software and followed instructions on this thread, rebooted, nothing seemed to change. Repaired permissions, nothing changed... I thought, oh well! Maybe I'll go to my local (Warsaw Poland) Apple repair centre.
Sadly, I put my computer to sleep, about an hour later, opened it up with ethernet cable attached for internet, and noticed the wireless icon was now dark... lo and behold, clicked on it and my network was checked (this after having had my password "rejected" a million times before) and ... I carefully slipped the ethernet cable out of the socket... and I was still connected.
So my wireless is working again, since doing all that stuff (back to prior firmware version) but for the life of me I don't know why, since it didn't seem to be fixed immediately after all that tinkering and rebooting! Any thoughts?? Did I actually do something that fixed it (must be, since I finally fooled around with it after almost 3 weeks of no wireless) or was this just random??
This is far too un-Apple-ish, by the way! I was used to this with PCs, but first time I've ever had to get so technical with my Mac!

After upgrade resin no longer works with Apache!BIG ISSUE

Hi Af!
After the huge update - i ran into some big issue's !!!
Normaly i have apache,php and resin running. but now with the "new" apache - it can no longer accept resin's mod_caucho.so?
Running apachectl -t gives an error:
configerror at line 428 - mod_caucho.so cannot load the module - its proberly been garbled - perhaps this is not a reguar apache DSO module.
(this is not the correct error - but close - i've shut it down - becaurse people are able to se the code)
Normally this have worked fine - Apache is accepting the mod.so and have compiled resin from the button after - just for trying!
Have anybody got an idea about this!
thanks
Peque

Well - here's an update !
Now I have tried to get the old version of Apache - but still that doesen't help me.
After a total install(clean - 0.7.2 ) i do a pacman -Syu to get the final steps uptodate!! Afterwards i do
pacman -U apache.2.0.55
installing that (missing expat) so installing that to!
Afterwards I'm trying to install Resin - and get the error its a bad apxs! so go back to the old configuration is out of the question!
So what have been going so wrong that I'm not able to have a running Apache server along with Resin to handle my jsp pages!
I know others use tomcat - but I have never tried this - and loves Resin! Does anybody have an answer for this part!!!!!
Please help ! I have a quite a lot of pages that are not online at this point!

XML error when trying to run any report with add/remove programs - worked briefly after SP1 upgrade - no longer works

I applied SP1 in hopes of fixing the reporting bug as discussed
here and it did work - for a day or so. Now, I am getting the error again. Not sure what to do. Please advise.
The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version.
There is an error in XML document (1, 301094).
'', hexadecimal value 0x1E, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 301094.
I also get the "report builder click-once application does not exist on the server" - to which I had applied the registry key
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ConfigMgr10\AdminUI\Reporting]
"ReportBuilderApplicationManifestName"="ReportBuilder_3_0_0_0.application"
SQL
and SCCM are on the same server - which I can get to report server web but cannot create reports from SCCM console.
Thanks

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
This problem was solved in SP1 if you are still having this problem after applying SP1, then you need to contact CSS directly for support, they will work with you to solve this problem.

HT1222 I installed the most recent ITunes update after which Itunes no longer worked.. I received an error message Error 7 Windows 193. I did a system restore to eliminate the update.

Apple support had not responded to my requests for clarification. The update corrupted both ITunes and Office Outlook mobileme. The error message when I tried to start up I Tunes was Error 7 Windows 193. I un installed I Tunes and re installed the latest ver and encountered the same error message. I finally did a system restore. Was this a one time problem or is the update bad. In over 30 years I'd never had a problem with any Apple update.

After Effects CS6 no longer works now I've installed Yosemite.

Hi since installing Yosemite on my 3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5 Late 2013 Mac Pro with 16 GB of Ram. I crashes on start up. I reinstalled and then updated to 11.0.4 and it still crashes although I think the error has changed. When I restart I get the error:

This is a big problem as After Effects is key to my business and right now I cannot use it.

CP60-615DX Touchpad and external mouse no longer work after WIndows 7 SP1 update

Let me start by saying I am in the IT field, though clearly far from being great at it. I was updating a CP60-615DX at work with Win 7 x64 SP1. It installed with no errors or anything I'd consider abnormal. Once it was finished, the touchpad no long worked, as well as any mouse I'd hook up via Usb. So I checked Device manager, and the Touchpad is listed with the yellow exclamation mark, as well as mice I hook up. So I did what any respectable IT guy would do, I went to HP and downloaded x64 drivers for the Touchpad port and installed them. But they didn't fix the issue, literally nothing happened. So I installed the latest chipset drivers. Still nothing changed. So I uninstalled the device and manually added it by doing the advanced driver install for a new device, pointing it to the directory where the .exe file had placed the drivers. ...Nothing. So I uninstalled SP1,.... nothing. After uninstalling SP1, redid every aforementioned step, nothing. So my question is, **bleep**? Anyone know another way to fix an issue where the scrolling devices stop working and the drivers won't fix the issue?
Btw, the user had never set up windows restore, and my only other thought is pulling personal documents off and restoring to factory defaults. One more bit of info before I forget, when I went into Windows Recovery (which loads a pre-environment mini OS for you to restore and fix issues), the mouse worked, telling me it's not a hardware issue, it's a Windows vs devices issue.

Hi,
According to your description, since system reinstallation is not helpful, it's probably a hardware problem, it would be better to check if it is the device itself problem.

Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.
Message was edited by: 2009 IPOD TOUCH

I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

Itunes no longer works after latest update

I updated the latest version of iTunes. Now, it no longer works. Then my computer told me to update the latest version, so tried again, but again it didn' work. So in uninstalled iTunes and tried to install it again. It didn't work. I even tried with an older update after I had deleted the latest one and it didn't work. Now my computer tells me that some file or stuff was missing.
Thanks for any help!

...now my computer updated it again. It opened, tried to collect information about the copyright, the an error message popped up saying that iTunes does not work correctly due to any mistake...
Please help me!

XPlod car adapter no longer works after installing OS 4.0

I have a Sony car stereo with the Xplod adapter that allows me to hook up my iPod to my stereo and control it from there. After the recent update to OS 4.0 this no longer works.
Now when I plug it in; the iPod stops playing sound through it's speaker, but I get no control through the Stereo and nothing plays. It just seems to freeze.
This has worked perfectly for 2years, and now it's dead. Anyone have any suggestions or fixes?

I had this same issue after upgrading to iOS 4.0. I could play my iPod touch to the xPLOD through the USB cable but could not control it with the xPLOD, and there were a few other issues too.
I tried the recommendation to power off the iPod Touch, then connect it to the xPLOD.
I pressed the top and home buttons until "slide to power off" appeared, which I did.
I connected the iPod Touch to the xPLOD and set the xPLOD source to USB.
The iPod started to wake up. The xPLOD timed out with a "No device found" message while the iPod was waking up.
When the iPod woke up, the xPLOD detected it and displayed "Reading device", then, everything worked fine.
YMMV...

Car Stereo adapter no longer works properly after 3.1.3

I just upgraded my 3G to 3.1.3 today and now it no longer works as it did with all previous software revs with the USA Spec adapter for my factory Toyota in-dash.
Searching turned up nothing. Has anyone else had compatibility problems after upgrading to 3.1.3? I hate to go the downgrade route, but taking the chance on having to replace my mobile phone is preferable to replacing my in-dash with some neon-glowy aftermarket POS.

I have the USA Spec PA15-TOY in my 2001 Tacoma. The 3.1.3 update hasn't posed any issues for me and I use it every day.
You may want to check with USA Spec to see if there is a software update on it. When I bought my iphone, I found it didn't charge my iphone or work correctly as it had with my previous ipods. I sent it to them and they updated the software and I had to buy a new cable to accommodate charging. Total with the cable, it cost me $50, but it was money well spent. Maybe you just need a software update?
The folks at USA Spec were great to deal with and from the time I sent it out to the time I got it back was about 5 days.

Forms HOST command no longer works after database upgrade from 10g to 11g

Hi,
After upgrading the database 10g to 11g the forms HOST command no longer works on Unix server. The form used to work fine prior the upgrade. I read all the threads I could find and did not see any solutions. Adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not work because it does not even run a basic shell script. (I saw this solution, adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, in many questions / threads).
1. I wouldn't expect the database upgrade to be an issue, but it is the only change we had.
2. Note, 11g is Oracle Fusion Middleware which is quite a bit different than 10g.
I even tried the most basic commands like "echo" which is a build-in Unix command and there is no directory for it (ie. no /usr/bin - so variable PATH is irrelvent). i.e HOST('echo hi'); and HOST('echo "hi" '); and even HOST ('echo hi > /my_file.txt'); all returns FORMS_FAILURE (actually the if is IF FORM_SUCCESS THEN ... else ... and the else part always runs now - whereas it didn't before.).
Or basic commands like /usr/bin/ls as in HOST(/usr/bin/ls). At that point I was just testing the Unix command would return FORM_SUCCESS even though I could not see the results (because they weren't writing to a log file). Notice that I'm using the direct path /usr/bin so no Unix environment variables were needed.
The form does use webutil but that part works. For example, we have webutil_file_transfer( ....) The file shows up on the application server and in the expected directory.
Here's the main goal. Upload a file from clients local PC to the datebase server. The form uploads the file to the Application server, then we have a Unix script to scp (secure copy) the file from the application server to the database server. IF webutil, or any other Oracle functions could put the file on the database server that would be better. But, I don't know of any procedures that do that - or would have done it cleanly (i.e. storing to database and write back to server and then using a blob etc. )
Anyway, I was hoping someone would help with either of these.
1) Get the HOST command to work. - If we can get that to work then I wouldn't need any more help. We can just call the already existing Unix script to copy the file from the application server to the database.
2) OR be able to upload directly to the database server - wanted to do that originally
Any help would be appreciated

Solution for those interested and for anyone else searching this forum for a solution

LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
3) Comment out this variable. After the changes, it will look like the following:
#LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
3) a) Instead of LD_PRELOAD, kindly use LD_PRELOAD_64 as given below :
LD_PRELOAD_64=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
(This makes HOST AND RUN_REPORT_OBJECT work fine).
4) Save the file and execute your forms. The Host() built-in will work as expected
The LD_PRELOAD setting in default.env is only required for the working of signal chaining facility in JVM version 1.5 and later. If you are not using theSignal chaining facility, this variable is not required. For more information, refer to the following documentation
