An interesting solution to a common problem
Alright, I'm sure most of you know about the creative headphone jack problem. I was recently hit by it myself, and in a fit of genious I found a good solution till one can get it repaired/returned.
Hair elastics.
I grabbed one of my mom's hair scrunchies and placed it around my micro so that it braced the headphone plug and the jack. If you use a thick enough hair tie then it will hold the jack in place and it won't move and change whatever it changes when it moves.
This works best when the player is in a case. The micro's size works well for the scrunchies I have as well as my zcase which provides a better gripping surface for the scrunchie so it will not slip off as easily.
These are just my observations using a black goodie hair scrunchie, a zen micro (blue), zcase, and a faulty jack.
Thank you for the feedback. Adding to what stated, the posting about the wrong Caller ID issue with land line service was found and reviewed. I noticed Lena mentioned sending Bobs_711 a private message in reaching out to assist. In reading further, what was meant by elevating a trouble ticket is to take it to the next level in troubleshooting. We would confirm if the wrong Caller ID issue is with your wireless service and not causing the issue. I will be sending a private message to you to assist further.

CD-DVD ( Optical Drives ) Common Problems and Solutions
CD/DVD Common Problems…
Dear friends, I have noticed that many laptop users suffering from some common problems. cd/dvd ( Optical Drive ) problems are one of them.. so here I am trying to collect and make available solutions related to cd/dvd drives . Almost all solutions are already advised in previous posts but these are all are in one post. We all are here for sharing problems and solutions. I always appreciate all corrections and additions. In first look optical drive problems seems like hardware problem. These problems have hardware/software both possibility so I request to administrator, to make available this post in both ( hardware – software ) sections. I put only solution links to save forum’s valuable space.

My two month old iPhone lightning cable is suddenly corroded and not working. Any solutions to this apparently common problem on the horizon?
You bought a used iPhone. Amazon is not an authorized supplier of iPhones, nor are any of the 3rd parties that sell iPhones there.
You can make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.
If you are very very lucky, it is still under warranty and it wasn't opened or otherwise tampered with before you bought it. In which case, Apple will replace it under warranty.
If it's not under warranty, they will replace it for $199.
If it has been opened or tampered with, they won't touch it. -
I need a solution of this complicated problem to finalize my final project
Introduction
This project revolves around an important text processing task, text compression. In particular, you will be required to encode a sequence of words read from a source file into binary strings (using only the characters 0 and 1). It is important to note that text compression makes it possible to minimize the time needed to transmit text over a low-bandwidth channel, such as infrared connection. Moreover, text compression is helpful in storing large documents more efficiently. The coding scheme explored in this project is the Huffman Coding Scheme. While standard encoding schemes, such as Unicode and ASCII, use fixed-length binary strings to encode characters, Huffman coding assigns variable-length codes to characters. The length of a Huffman code depends on the relative frequency of its associated character. Specifically, Huffman coding capitalizes on the fact that some characters are used more frequently than others to use short codewords when encoding high-frequency characters and long codewords to encode low-frequency characters. Huffman coding saves space over state of the art fixed-length encoding and is therefore at the heart of file compression techniques in common use today. Figure 1 shows the relative frequencies of the letters of the alphabet as they appear in a representative sample of English documents.
Letter Frequency Letter Frequency
A 77 N 67
B 17 O 67
C 32 P 20
D 42 Q 5
E 120 R 59

L 42 Y 22
M 24 Z 2
Figure 1. Relative frequencies for the 26 letters of the alphabet.
Huffman coding and decoding
Huffman’s algorithm for producing optimal variable-length codes is based on the construction of a binary tree T that represents the code. In other words, the Huffman code for each character is derived from a full binary tree known as the Huffman coding tree, or simply the Huffman tree. Each edge in the Huffman tree represents a bit in a codeword, with each edge connecting a node with its left child representing a “0” and each edge connecting a node with its right child representing a “1”. Each external node in the tree is associated with a specific character, and the Huffman code for a character is defined by the sequence of bits in the path from the root to the leaf corresponding to that character. Given codes for the characters, it is a simple matter to use these codes to encode a text message. You will have simply to replace each letter in the string with its binary code (a lookup table can be used for this purpose).
In this project, you are not going to use the table given in Figure 1 to determine the frequency of occurrence per character. Instead, you will derive the frequency corresponding to a character by counting the number of times that character appears in an input file. For example, if the input file contains the following line of text “a fast runner need never be afraid of the dark”, then the frequencies listed in the table given in Figure 2 should be used per character:
Character a b d e f H i k n O r s t u v
Frequency 9 5 1 3 7 3 1 1 1 4 1 5 1 2 1 1
Figure 2. The frequency of each character of the String X.
Based on the frequencies shown in Figure 2, the Huffman tree depicted in Figure 3 can be constructed:
Figure 3. Huffman tree for String X.
The code for a character is thus obtained by tracing the path from the root of the Huffman tree to the external node where that character is stored, and associating a left edge with 0 and a right edge with 1. In the context of the considered example for instance, the code for “a” is 010, and the code for “f” is 1100.
Once the Huffman tree is constructed and the message obtained from the input file has been encoded, decoding the message is done by looking at the bits in the coded string from left to right until all characters are decoded. This can be done by using the Huffman tree in a reverse process from that used to generate the codes. Decoding the bit string begins at the root of the tree. Branches are taken depending on the bit value – left for ‘0’ and right for ‘1’ – until reaching a leaf node. This leaf contains the first character in the message. The next bit in the code is then processed from the root again to start the next character. The process is repeated until all the remaining characters are decoded. For example, to decode the string “0101100” in the case of the example under study, you begin at the root of the tree and take a left branch for the first bit which is ‘0’. Since the next bit is a ‘1’, you take a right branch. Then, you take a left branch (for the third bit ‘1’), arriving at the leaf node corresponding to the letter a. Thus, the first letter of the coded word is a. You then begin again at the root of the tree to process the fourth bit, which is a ‘1’. Taking 2 right branches then two left branches, you reach the leaf node corresponding to the letter f.
Problem statement
You are required to implement the Huffman coding/decoding algorithms. After you complete the implementation of the coding/decoding processes, you are asked to use the resulting Java code to:
1. Read through a source file called “in1.dat” that contains the following paragraph:
“the Huffman coding algorithm views each of the d distinct characters of the string X as being in separate Huffman trees initially with each tree composed of a single leaf node these separate trees will eventually be joined into a single Huffman tree in each round the algorithm takes the two binary trees with the smallest frequencies and merges them into a single binary tree it repeats this process until only one tree is left.”
2. Determine the actual frequencies for all the letters in the file.
3. Use the frequencies from the previous step to create a Huffman coding tree before you assign codes to individual letters. Use the LinkedBinaryTree class that we developed in class to realize your Huffman coding trees.
4. Produce an encoded version of the input file “in1.dat” and then store it in an output file called “out.dat”.
5. Finally, the decoding algorithm will come into play to decipher the codes contained in “out.dat”. The resulting decoded message should be written to an output file called “in2.dat”. If nothing goes wrong, the text stored in “in1.dat” and the one in “in2.dat” must match up correctly.jschell wrote:

In need of a pattern for a common problem - what to instantiate?
I'm sure this is a common problem with a standard solution (in a form of well known pattern), but I am not aware of one nor do I have any idea how would I Google for it... So, here it goes (exemplified):
a user is presented with a combo box that enables him to choose what item he wishes to purchase. Depending on his choice, the application is supposed to instantiate an appropriate class that represents the purchased item. So, if the user chooses a book from the combo box, the class Book should be instantiated, if he chooses a comic book, the ComicBook class would be instantiated etc.
Apart from introducing a naming convention and instantiating the classes through Class.forName(), how would this problem be solved, in a way as generic as possible?
This is supposed to be used in a Web app, but I hardly believe that's relevant...Hmmm... I'm using JSF but it's my first project so I don't really know it's powers.
I instantiated all classes that will eventually populate the combo box (through reflection) and now I'm trying to find one which of the objects did the user select.
Would it be a problem for you to give me at least a rough scatch of what I should do?
I tried it like this:
in my managed bean:
public HtmlSelectOneMenu getProductsMenu() {
//instantiate and populate the list of products (prodlist)
for (Product p : prodlist){
optionlist.add(new SelectItem(p, p.getName()));
final UISelectItems items = new UISelectItems();
items.setValue(optionlist);
productsMenu.getChildren().add(items);
return productsMenu;
}and in my JSP:
<h:selectOneMenu binding="#{managedBean.productsMenu}" />but then, in the bean, when I try:
((Product)productsMenu.getValue())I get a Class cast exception. it says it can't can't cast String to Product...
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you! -

Failing to buffer video - common problem?
I uploaded a video to CS Review through Premiere CS 5.5 for customer review today. I used the 2 Mbit option, as we are all on at least 20Mbit connections.
However, on the CS Review site the video (12 minutes long approx) is interrupted with the following error ever 10 seconds or so:
Failing to buffer video.
The server is not responding quickly enough to play back this video. Playback will continue when buffering is complete. [UnableToBuffer]
Is this due to lack of bandwidth on the CS Review site (csreview.acrobat.com)? Is this a common problem, or just a temporary situation? Right now the whole CS Review is providing a very sub-par experience for our customers. It seems like a nice idea, but needs to work if we are going to be paying for this come next year.My client is having the same problem -- but I encoded for the lowest level, the 1 Mbit option. We've been using it for a couple weeks now, reviewing some 20 different timeline segments -- from 3-4 minutes to 30 minutes long. She's getting these buffer messages all the time -- and it's also frequently just freezing up.
Of course, we're not sitting next to our clients -- so we can't tell whether they're clicking the same buttons too many times ... what's going on in their computers ... variations in their server connections ... etc. We're stuck here in a "the customer is always right" situation. We're providing a service to these folks and they don't like it when we waste their time.
But in general -- yeah, this is a super idea -- and lots of things do work well (relatively quick encoding, good image quality, eliminating the need for my client to write down any timecode numbers, being able to print a PDF record of what you're doing, having folder and project options at the CS site). So you're definitely on the right track.
But ... clients find it hard to play the files back and forth. The single-frame back & forth button is useful in some situations -- but clients want to be able to scroll back and forth to find in/out cues, etc. And this part of it is very clunky.
And if there's a glitch, we're not able to help them -- they're stuck. The CS site just does whatever it does, and things grind to a frustrating halt.
Maybe this should be a program you sell us, where we run it from our computers and our own websites. Or maybe it can be run from a faster, more responsive site.
This particular client of mine has given it a really good tryout. But now we're going back to me encoding & uploading files to my own website ... emailing her a link ... having her download the file to her computer, where she can easily play it, scroll back and forth, etc. This is also a clunky, time-consuming solution -- so it's not ideal. But at least we have control over the process and we can fix it when something doesn't work correctly.
I'd love to use the CS site -- I think it's a great idea. Yes, I'd certainly pay for it. I've tried it with a dozen clients for various size projects. It's been OK for a few -- unuseable for others -- clunky and slow for others. Needs more work.
Please fix it -- there's a huge market for this. If the Adobe version doesn't work, someone else will surely offer the same thing -- maybe as a program that we run ourselves.
I'm definitely an Adobe fan and I would love for this thing to work well. -
While working on an app I lose all the data and all downloaded app.is this a common problem?
while working on an app I lose all the data and all downloaded app.is this a common problem?
Apologies. The second link I gave you shows an ipad so I thought it would be more helpful. If you scroll part way down, you'll see an ipad. I know that most say it's mainly an IE issue, but there is mention of turning off javascript.
In the link below Apple claims that it blocks third party tracking if you turn on 'private browsing.' But is the site you're dealing with actually third party browsing? And if it's already embedded on your ipad, will clearing history, cookies and data take out your google issue? I know that when I do this, within minutes a long list of sites never visited are back on in 'website data'. Also, consider turning off java script. On 'accept cookies' click on never.
To see all this on your ipad, go to settings, then click on Safari. On the right, try turning off 'accept cookies.' Turn on private browsing'. Keep 'block pop-ups' on. Personally, I would try one thing at a time. For example, first turn on private browsing and see what happens when you open the scrabble app.
Then go to 'advanced' and look at website data. You possibly never visited many of those sites.
Apple's take on it is that they're protecting Safari users, whether it's a mac or an ipad.

This is technical info on what's going on but it doesn't seem to offer solutions.

Steps to troubleshoot and get past common problems with Audition
When you encounter a problem with Audition, the following steps are often useful for getting past the problem and/or determining the cause of the problem:
1. Hold down SHIFT while you launch Audition
This overrides the preference files and launches Audition using the default settings.
2. Manually rename or delete the preferences folder
Step 1 only overrides certain preference files, while others such as Workspace preference files, may be the cause of the problem. Depending on your OS, locate the "5.0" folder in the location below and rename it or delete it.
Windows XP: C:\Document and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Audition\5.0\
Windows Vista/7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\5.0\ *
Mac OS X: ~\Library\Preferences\Adobe\Audition\5.0\ **
* "AppData" may be a hidden folder. You can type it into the location bar, or enable "Show Hidden Files" in Windows.
** This is your user-level Library folder, not the system-level tree.
3. Check your Audition Log.txt file
To enable a log file with CS 5.5, you must create an empty file in your preferences folder called "Audition Log.txt" using notepad, text edit, or any other editor. After you create this file, launch Audition and if it fails, open and/or share the log file for more specific information about what's happening.
4. Check the Operating System console or error log
Both OS X and Windows can track application errors, and if the problem is occurring outside of the application code - a driver conflict, for example - then the OS error report may be more informative than what we can get from the application.
OS X: launch /Applications/Utilities/Console.app Clear the view, then launch Audition and note any error messages that appear.
Windows: launch Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application then launch Audition and note any error messages that appear.
5. Re-install Audition
If at this point, nothing has resolved the issue or the error logs are inconclusive, it's a good time to uninstall Audition, reboot, and reinstall Audition.
6. Obtain the full crash dump and send it to the Adobe team
So you've walked through all the above steps, you've disconnected any external hardware interfaces to rule out any device or driver conflicts, and you've exhausted the basic troubleshooting steps. Visit http://forums.adobe.com/thread/900619 and follow the steps for your OS that Charles has documented to best obtain a full crash memory dump for Audition, and send that to [email protected] with a description of the problem and the steps you've taken, and we'll take a look.Firstly yes these are common problems and secondly hopefully they will be fixed with updated software 2.1 which is due for release this coming Firday!

Open cursors exceeded - common problem, different scenario
I searched both the web and the java forums and found the "maximum open cursors exceeded" to be a very common problem, one in which I have, but I can't seem to solve it and I was wondering if the way I am doing certain things are causing it.
Here is my program. I have a java server running that is acting as a midway between a java applet and an Oracle database. Since many users will most likely be using the applet, and since the applet has the ability to alter data in the database, I wanted to Synchronize my database connections.
So because of this, my server has a static class with all the database calls, including a connection call that connects to the database when it is first started up. Also, I return ResultSets to the server, but I never close either my ResultSet or my Statement. I do this because I only have one global of each of them. Otherwise I would have to close them from the server, and this worries me as far synchronization goes. Thus, with a global statement, I am just reinstantiating it every time. This may very well be my problem.
Should I?
1. Not have a single connection to the database but instead create a new connection every time a database call is made?
2. Do not make the resultset and statement global. (And if this is yes, how would I go about closing them after I return the result set to the server).
3. Leave the resultset and statement global but go ahead and try to close them from the server.
4. Or any combination of the above.
Thanks. I appreciate any help advance. This problem has been driving me insane the last couple of days. If it would help to post my database connections code then I will gladly do so.Hmmm. I have worked on it all day and still have nothing. If anyone has even a shred of help, that would be greatl appreciated. I am going to just go ahead and post my code just in case that helps anyone.

Volume on iphone is very low, this is a common problem, Apple Needs to FIX!
I have a new iphone 3GS that I got at the end of July, 2009. Since then i've been having problems with the volume! I called support because i had this problem along with my screen turning blank and freezing up. Support said to take the case off and this might help. well it did help the screen issue (which is kind of dumb when you think about it because the case is supposed to protect the phone and instead it caused it to malfunction!!,wierd), but the volume issue never really changed. I am hearing impaired and I do wear hearing aids, BUT....I have ALWAYS been able to use cell phones that have good loud volume, as i need to remove my aids to use the phone. My LG phone had BEAUTIFUL volume, never had a problem!
So, then I started to do some research and saw this is a very common problem! everyone I know that has an iphone has this problem, and all these people are normal hearing people! So then i decided to just get some really good, superduper headphones, because the headphones that came with the phone were ok, but i had to hold them in my ears.
The other day i bought the new Bose in-ear headphones with superior sound quality and at $130 bucks, they better be and the are compatable with the iphone. But.....again, while actually talking to someone on the phone the sound, even with the headphones and all volumes max'd, was still very low!! and i know its not the headphones because listening to the ipod is fantastic! it must be the phone!!!
I even used the "accessibility" setting that is on the phone and selected the mono audio feature which pushes both L&R sounds through one channel, and still doesnt help!
I even called support back today and one guy said i had to "restore" my phone by plugging it into my computer (not really sure what he means) but we got disconnected and the other guy said that i should bring my phone into the apple store. Both tech guys denied that there are lots of calls or complaints about this....but as you all know from reading the many posts, that this is a very common problem!!!
I think Apple should do the right thing and recall these phones or at least fix them or SOMETHING!!!! this volume issue is internally, because when i make a call and an automated voice comes on, it works fine (majority of the time) but as soon as a live voice comes on the phone, the volume drops! there must be some type of automatic voice adjuster that is just not working properly. I mean i love my phone!!! But....i cant use it!!! And now, im going to have to return my Bose headphones and try to find something else.
Can anyone really help me?????stewa348 wrote:
I agree with you about the volume on the phone itself. (I have 3Gs). It needs to be louder. I also wear hearing aids. However I do think there may be something wrong with your phone because when I connect my earbuds (Klipsh) I get very good volume through them. In fact at full volume it's way too loud. I would push for a replacement phone.
FWIW, my daughter (who also wears hearing aids) has trouble hearing her iphone. It appears to have more to do with the speaker not being lined up with the hearing aid's input. Her audiologist pointed out that some current hearing aids support bluetooth, I think we will get those next time we replace her hearing aids. -
My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?
Try this for the freezing

Or if they don't work put it into recovery mode

My iPhone Wifi is greyed out.
In Uruguay in Cellular Center (+598 2 903 3333) that is where I buyed it told me it has no solution, it´s a problem of hardware accepted by Apple, that Apple change the phone in this cases, but that they can´t change it by another new one because their warrantee is 3 months and I bought in december, 2012. It cost me US$ 1,250 and I want a solution because I saw in the Apple web that iPhone warrantee is 1 year and I am still covered by it.
I have the invoice dated December 24, 2012.
Do you have any solution to my problem?
It is hard to believe that a so expensive iPhone has a life of 6 months.
Do I need to take my iPhone to anywhere they can solve its problem?

Are these common problems with the 3g?
So I had the old iPhone and absolutely loved it! I get the new one after waiting a few weeks so there was actually some available. Anyways, I had some problems with it when I got it and took it to my local apple store and they fixed is supposedly! Problems eventually came back! So I called apple and talk to a tech. He advised me to send it in and get a new one. So I payed the 20$ to get a new one. The new phone ended up great and worked just fine now the same problems have come back! The problems consist of, the text ring going away after about an hour or restarting the iphone, the ringtone not working sometime, it freezing a lot, simple little things like that, plus more.
Basically im really irritated that the huge iphone 3g that was the newest fastest phone to come out has little things like this that have yet to be fixed. What is apple going to do about this and when??Firstly yes these are common problems and secondly hopefully they will be fixed with updated software 2.1 which is due for release this coming Firday!

Video on skype not working. Only functioning in facetime and photo booth. Seems to be a common problem amongst users having bought a new macbook air recently. When you go to Preference and click on audio/video item video works but when clicking on another menue and returning to audio/videio picture is gone. Understand has something to do with a recent update von Apple (10.8.5... missing file for 32 bit version).
Anybody there to give me an advice?
Thanks.Wait until a fix is available from Apple or Skype.
Best.
