Album grouping not working consistently

After I've created new tracks for existing albums I want to group them with the existing albums. I do this by setting the album name and the artist and album artist to names of the existing album. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, the new tracks appear as a new album below the existing album.
If I "get info" for all the tracks in both albums, the album name, artist, and album artist are all filled in, so iTunes agrees with me that they are the same for all the tracks (it'd otherwise leave those fields blank). Drop the artwork in the box again and still...it wants to put the new trakcs in a separate album.
The way to fix this is to change the album, artist and album artist to something else (like, say, "stupid"), which puts all the tracks together, and then change them back. When I'm done doing this I have a combined album with the old name, just as I should have had to begin with.

Wifi with stock kernel driver rtl8192ce not working consistently

Hi,
My wifi card RTL8188CE does not work consistently with kernel driver rlt8192ce. The problem that i observe is that after some time ~1hr wifi devices get disconnected and are not able to reconnect. On restarting wifi using systemctl restart hostapd sometimes the system hangs.
Here are the outputs.

Power button not working consistently

Have owned my Macbook Air 13" for almost a year. Over the last few months, I've had some issues with the power button when in standby mode. I think this happened even before I updated to OS X Yosemite. Sometimes when I go to turn my computer on, the button is completely unresponsive. I have to press the button over and over again. Sometimes I hold it down firmly and it turns on, other times it seems to turn on after a light touch. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks-

Post relates to: Tungsten E2
Just an FYI Laura - you can press any of the hard buttons on your Palm and it will turn on. Many of try to avoid using the fragile power button, choosing instead to use a hard button to turn on, and the normal timeout to turn off.

Response Groups not working

Hi there
My environment is a single Lync 2013 Front End Server installed on Server 2012.
It works since a year and now we want to use some response groups. I created 2 of them and everything seems fine but i cant call these groups. Not from internal and also not from external.
The clients shows an 500 internal server error with ID 26017.
So i traced the whole thing on the Front End Server. It seems the Response Group Service cant work with the local SQL Server. I see three error messages.
1. TL_ERROR(TF_COMPONENT) [2]0B90.37A8::07/23/2014-06:38:39.119.000002fb (RgsClientsLib,MatchMakingLocator.GetActiveInstanceFromDB:683.idx(479))

The Lync Server Event Log shows this error when the Response Group Service starts:

Cause: The application has not been properly activated or the Contact object was deleted.
Resolution:
Deactivate and then activate the application for this pool.
Is there a way to reinstall / reconfigure the whole response group service incl. the active directory objects?
I hope somebody could help

The back button does not work consistently, and rarely works if I open an attachment...any ideas on fixing this?

The back button does not work consistently, and rarely if ever when I open an attachment. Does anyone have a fix for this?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I installed firefox

Same problem here: I never had a problem with the previous versions and now I don't even get my homepage when I click Firefox. Instead, I am getting a blank screen that says "New Tab", only after I click the "Home" symbol I get my Homepage (Yahoo). The browser - back and browser forward button don't work anymore, very annoying. Normally a newer version should be an improvement but it looks like Mozilla really messed up with this "improvement". probably I am going to use Google chrome from now on.

Command-C is not working consistently to.

Command-C is not working consistently for me. In multiple apps, but mostly in Word, I find myself pressing Command-C and then Command-V to paste and what I paste is the LAST thing I copied, not the most recent. I sometimes have to repeat teh sequence several times before it pastes the thing I want it to. Any suggestions? I tried searching for this problem, but didn't find any relevant discussions. Thanks!

Some smart album rules not working

At a bit of a loss here - either my upgrade to Mavericks or my upgrade of Aperture to 3.5 has caused my Smart Albums to not work with various EXIF checking rules.
I frequently have rules which check the EXIF tag, Camera Make, and check if it is Canon - this allows me to filter out and focus on my Canon 5D3 photos and not get distracted in relatively pointless editing of iPhone snaps. Unfortunately it doesn't work. Camera Make is Canon returns no matches, Camera Make starts with Canon returns nothing, Camera Make ends with Canon returns nothing.
If I go and look at a photo, I can see the Camera Make exif flag says "Canon" in the field. No spaces at the end or anything silly. It used to work.
Anyone experienced similar? Anyone have solutions?

Hmm, interesting. Given your use of quotes I just tried "Canon" including the double quotes, but that made no difference either.
The EXIF filter is the only rule on the smart album, and while the smart album is set for a single project, there are several hundred photos that should match in it. If I set the smart album to "Library" rather than the project, it still matches none...! Just in case there's some other rule burried away that just isn't displayed, I switched the smart album to "Match Any" rather than "All", and that too returns no photos.

HT201317 My shared photo album will not work. I am trying to upload photos but I doesn't show up in my new device. I've done it before but now it's not working. My old device is a 4s iOS 7.1.1 and my new one is a 5 iOS 8.1.1. How can I make the pictures s

my photo stream does not work at all. I've tried making a new album, but that does not work. So I've tried using an already existing album and deleting the pictures there. I decided to only upload 1 photo from my old phone (iPhone 4s iOS 7.1.1) to see if it'll show up on my new device (iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.1) it doesnt even show up in my new phone (iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.2) this picture is what shows up on both my iPhone 6 and 5 but on the 4s there is a picture that I "uploaded" and a second one that came out of nowhere. I do not know what to do because in the past this has worked out for me and it shows up on all three devices

You can't restore to a backup that was taken on a device which has a higher version of iOS than on your iPad, you will have to update your iPad to 8.1.3 to be able to restore to it
You should be able to update your iPad via Settings > General > Software Update

ITunes album view not working and no album art?

Hi all -
Bought a 64GB iPhone 5 and uploaded my music via my desktop - all seems to have run fine, except that album artwork isn't showing for many of them, even when I select the option "View artwork".
I've read on another thread that ID3 tags of 2.3 or lower are not supported, but find it hard to accept there's no compatibility here - so am presuming user error rather than Apple trying to force users to manually update all their albums (I have 57GB of music - don't want to update album art on everything!)
Also, I've just downloaded and installed iTunes on my laptop, and connected the iPhone to laptop. However, the album view options aren't working. All songs are simply listed by album name, but none of the column listing features work either (ie, sort by name, genre, etc).
I presumed iTunes had crashed, but restarting the laptop and the same happens. Am on latest software for iTunes and iOS 6.
One more curiosity - how do I download my music from the iPhone to the desktop? I had presumed it would do this automatically (ie, into the iTunes media folder) but so far nothing.
Or is it simply the case that iTunes is preparing to download all music into the desktop, hence why it's not working properly? Simply because there's no notice of anything happening.
Apologies for any newbie questions - found myself using the iPad quite a lot for apps, but never for music as it was only the 16GB version, so have been sold into joining the Apple walled garden. Would be nice to get these issues sorted out, though.

Hi David
Yes, I found the importer now. I also fixed my problem, but with 'brute force':
For each of the folders not being indexed, including the ~/Library/Mail folder, I turned on Privacy in the Spotlight System Prefs and then turned it off again. This seems to have fixed things. I did this for some old document folders too and that also seems to have worked.
So far so good. thanks again. For now I'm marking this as solved.

Server Group not working when one of Job Servers is down

I have a Server Group of two job servers. They have the same version 12.2.2.3 and are attached to the same Local Repository of version 12.2.2.0.
When I execute a batch job (from the Designer) and explicitly specify on which job server it should run, it works fine for either job server. Also, when I specify Batch Job execution on Server Group, it works fine.
However, when I shutdown one of the Job Servers, and then try to execute the job on Server Group, I'm getting two error messages, BODI-1111011 that one Job Server is down, and BODI-1111009 that another Job Server has failed.
At the same time, when I check the Server Group in the Management Console, it shows that the allegedly failed Job Server is in the status green.
That error is not reflected in a job server eveng log, nor there is anything written to webadmin log, not in the job trace (the latter isn't created at all).
Is there anything I can do at this point except raise a support message?

The issue was with different users for Local Repository in Admin and Job Server config. I discovered it when trying to run the job from Admin Console. Designer is probably not the best diagnostic tool for such kind of issues.

Alert to group not working on Sharepoint 2010!

Hello,
We have a SharePoint 2010 Server which on the front page we have a news list. We have migrated to 365 and since then the alerts are not working properly. We have a local SMTP server that we use to rely to 365 since SharePoint does not support TLS by itself.
The SMTP server is working because we can set up alerts on individuals and the emails are coming. The issue is with the group. I have tried several groups but still the same issue. On some groups we receive the initial email about the creation of the alert,
but no mails after that. I have checked also the Immediate Alert service and is successful. I have checked in the mail flow on 365 and I can see the initial creation of the alert mail sent to all in the group, but the alerts on changing anything on the
list does not come into 365, so it must be a SharePoint issue which I can`t determine since the immediate alert service is running...
Can you please provide a feasible solution for this issue?
Thank you very much.
DOVC
Best Regards, Valentin Doru System Administrator

Hi Valentin,
please also open a thread at o365 community, because seems this issue happened at o365.
to try, perhaps you can re-add the group also, because it may refresh the properties from the AD group to o365.
and you may check these workaround for testing:
Option 1: Use a Redirection User
created a user in Office 365. This user is licensed to use SharePoint Online and Exchange Online.
In Exchange Online, create Distribution Groups, which are standard Distribution Group that allows however in Delivery Management also Senders outside of organization, as the SharePoint Sender is not part of the Exchange Org.
In Exchange Online for the User Exchange Forwarder, created Inbox Rules. The rule is checking the Subject for a keyword and as action redirect the E-Mail to the DG and deletes it right away.
repeat this for other DGs as well.
In SharePoint Online grant the user Exchange Forwarder access to the Site to access the List
Now there are two important steps:
1) The Alert Title needs to include the token we look for in the Exchange rule
2) The “Send Alerts To” needs to be our “Exchange Forwarder”
When everything is set up an Alert will be received by Exchange Forwarder and then forwarded to the DG.
Option 2: Use a custom Workflow with the Send E-Mail To Activity
In Exchange Online creat a Distribution Groups, which are standard Distribution Group that allows however in Delivery Management also Senders outside of my organization, as the SharePoint Sender is not part of the Exchange Org.
Using SharePoint Designer create a custom Workflow like the one below. In the Send E-Mail activity I specified the external SMTP Address of the DG as To-Address.
When the Workflow is executed an E-Mail is sent directly to the DG:
Background:
When sending an Alert, SharePoint is doing a Security Trimming. So SharePoint wants to be sure the recipient of the Alert has permissions to see the List Content the Alert is about. Therefore we cannot enter an SMTP-Address for an Alert but need to specify
a Security Principal known to SharePoint.
In a Workflow we don’t need to do this kind of Security Trimming. The creator / designer of the Workflow need to take care whom to send what information.
Side note: Alerts and Workflow Send E-Mail To Activities are the only possibilities in SharePoint Online to send E-Mails. Custom solutions (Sandboxed Solutions) will not work.

Aries

Since the update to 19.9.1 mail groups began working again, but now they've stopped. It used to be I could enter the first few letters in the address field and either a person's or group's name would show up to be selected. Not groups don't show up anymore.
Any idea why?

Album sync not working correct

Hello everybody,
i use the Photos app since the first Beta and i think that there is potential to be a good App. (IOS really needs the possibility to delete only the local picture an not the one in the include )
Now i updated to the new Yosemite and try to sync the pictures from iCloud. Everything works fine, except my albums.
My Albums are sorted like this:
- Cars
-- Car 1
-- Car 2
-People
-- People 1
-- People 2
-Meeting
-- Meeting 1
-- Meeting 2
- Events
-- Event 1
-- Event 2
On my iphone everything works fine. I See all picture an albums.
On Photos first everything was fine but suddenly after a restart all Albums were gone. I tried to sync them into a new library but all i got was maybe 1/3 of my albums like this:
- Cars
-- Car 1
-- Car 2
-People
-- People 1
-- People 2
All pictures are synced right...
It was the second time now that they gone and i really don't want to tag the faces and the Albums new all the time
hope somebody can help me...
Hope somebody can help
greets
Rigo
P.S. I have a backup library... maybe i can copy the album/faces files from there ?
EDIT:
The Photos.App shows that everything is up to date (Albums still not shown)
Message was edited by: DaReelRigo

Good luck. I had duplicate albums created also, but am also missing a lot of pictures which do not sync over to other devices or to the web based Photos. I have deleted the Photo library and forced it to import from iPhoto a second time, but the same pictures are missing and have even more duplicate albums. Fortunately I am not doing this with my primary photo library so I can just delete everything and go back to iPhoto.

Smart groups not working

Whenever I try to set up a course as a smart group, not only do I not see any options (see http://tinyurl.com/34rnar6 ) but I get the warning "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again."
Has this been happening for a while, or am I just hitting the system at a bad time?
Thanks!

I have had this issue also since June 6th. Glad (and sorry) to hear others are having the same issue.
In addition to the original problem (see image in the first post), I have had other strange behaviors. I thought some Smart groups were corrupted, so I deleted then and tried to start over. When I tried to create new ones, sometimes it would open a different smart group (one was even not from our site). There seems to be much confusion.
Creating a new Smart group, I entered a title, and when I clicked on the + button to add a new row, it came up with all the lines of a different smart feed. On other attempts, I could add 1 or 2 lines before it would blank out like the original image shows. This happens on both my Mac and PC. It is causing large holes in our website.

Clickpad Right Click not Working Consistantly

I just purchased an HP laptop with a Clickpad and reviewed your documentation for what areas on the pad to use for clicking however I can't seem to get a consistent right click even when I click in the area indicated by the diagram. I can be almost in the bottom right corner of the pad's surface and still get a left click response.
Is there a trick to it I am missing or do I have a dud?

Hello Kyraoko,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the right-clicking action on the touchpad, of your notebook, is not working properly. It is likely a hardware issue, to be honest. However, please try the following steps before assuming anything:
1. Tap the upper-left corner of the touchpad a couple of times to turn it off, then turn it on. This is considered resetting the touchpad.
2. Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset is the next step. A hard reset clears driver instructions, recent configurations, etc. This forces the hardware to reread all instructions from the drivers and software stored within Windows.
3. Update the mouse/touchpad driver. These instructions will guide you along the right path:
a. Go to the HP Drivers and Downloads webpage. Enter your computer model number and then click Go .
b. Select your computer model from the list of results.
c. Select your operating system from the drop down menu and then click Next.
d. Scroll down to select the driver category "Driver - Keyboard, Mouse and Input Devices".
e. Click the Download button next to the appropriate TouchPad or ClickPad driver. The file downloads to your Downloads folder.
f. Open your Downloads folder and double-click to install the latest driver. Follow on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Source: Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8)
4. If that doesn't work, we will have to try a more direct approach of reinstalling the mouse driver:
a) Go into Device Manager, then "Mice and other pointing devices".
b) Right-click on the touchpad driver, and select "Uninstall".
c) Restart the computer. This will force a new driver to be written based on the detected hardware.
5. Try connecting a USB mouse to the computer. Test it to see whether or not it is working properly.
If those steps do not help, then I would call HP phone support so they can physically address the hardware of the touchpad. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks for posting, and have a great day!
