Arpeggiator...whole lotta work for litte payoff?

Greetings. I'm new here. Just bought Logic, read the part of the manual that details the environment functionality and set up an arpeggiator to test it out.
Eventually got it working but not fully. Even when it arpreggiates, it doesn't repeat even when the "repeat" box is checked unless it's set for "full" or "all notes" or whatever so the whole chord repeats (which isn't really arpeggiation) Plus, is that it? Where are the interesting patterns? What's the big deal? Am I missing something or is that a pretty useless feature?

Ah. Trying something else it did.
Originally, I followed the instructions in the manual and created, in the environment, a physical input and a sequence input. Something about that whole setup conflicted I guess. This time I just created an arpeggiator and it worked fine. I'm still not clear on the whole environment concept. Seems to me that one wire is either an in or an out and an arp would need both to function...also seems to me that if the arpeggiator were just regular insert that'd be a whole lot easier than creating one in the environment...

Art work for a whole play list

Hi
I have lots of songs in a play list i want to know how to assign an art work for all of them
in one step instead of assigning image to each song one by one
Kindest Regards

I too have the exact same problem. It appears to be an error in the RSS feed generated by iWeb.
I found a link in the XML file for the "background" artwork from the iWeb template I chose to use. I replaced that line of code with location of the artwork I want to appear on iTunes Music Store.

Alas to no avail. Despite repeatedly pinging the Music Store it persists in using the background graphic even though the RSS feed no longer contains a link to that file.
All attempts to contact Apple about this have gone unanswered.
HELP.

Yoga B8000-F, Worked for three whole days...

Auto-Rotate seems to be cooked.
I can boot and be in landscape, but once I turn it 90 degrees to portrait, it will flip to portrait, but not back to landscape when I turn back.
While in portrait, I can rotate 180 degrees and the display will flip accordingly, but never when I turn 90 degrees.
Screen "auto rotate" is not "locked" under the quick settings.
If I go into Settings> Accessibility and turn auto-rotate off, it switches to landscape mode, even if I'm holding it in portrait. I'll then rotate to landscape mode, turn auto-rotate on, it remains in landscape, but once I rotate again to portrait, it is stuck there until I toggle the Accessibility setting again.
Three factory resets, all to no avail.
I'm sorry to say I'm done with this model. I do not want to bother with taking a chance on a replacement that might work for properly for just 3 weeks or three months.

jannaland ... From what I have read on the BBC site, you need the new BBC iPlayer app and also the BBC Media Player app.
In case it is a BBC rather than a Lenovo issue, it may be worth contacting the BBC via this link:
https://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/tv/forms/?eid=Android_Downloads_device&mid=content
They ask that you supply the following info if downloads will not play for you:
Device name
Model number (can be found in "About device" in your device "Settings" menu)
Android operating system version (can be found in "About device" in your device "Settings" menu)
Phone/tablet network provider

[Guide] Install and run Windows 7/8 from an external drive without using bootcamp (works for late 2012 iMacs with 3TB drive)

This is a copy of a post from my blog, you can also Read it on my blog...
Introduction
After I received my new iMac with a 3 TB Fusion Drive, I was disappointed when I realized that Bootcamp was not running on this model and prevented me from installing Windows on it. I wanted to take advantage of the powerful iMac hardware to play games but I couldn't.
There are a few ways of working around this limitation, but I found most of them quite complex and most of the time they required formatting the internal hard drive or repartitioning it and go for a brand new installation of Mac OS X. I was not comfortable with that.
But there is another way, and that is to install Windows on an external hard drive, using either USB or Thunderbolt. Personally I used a Lacie Rugged 1 TB drive that has both USB3 and Thunderbolt connectors. Both work very well.
This guide may interest you if:
You have an internal hard drive of more than 2TB and you can't run bootcamp at all (like late 2012 iMacs with a 3TB drive)
You have limited space or you don't want to dedicate disk space on your internal hard disk drive to a Windows installation
What this guide will make you do:
It will make you erase all your data from your external USB3/Thunderbolt hard drive
It will make you install Windows on your external USB3/Thunderbolt hard drive
It will make you install bootcamp drivers
What this will not make you do:
It will not make you modify anything on your internal Mac hard drive
It will not make you use or install the bootcamp assistant
It will not activate the Preference Pane for the default boot drive. You have to boot by pressing the ALT key to manually select your boot drive each tome you want to boot Windows.
What you'll need
An external hard drive with a USB3 and/or Thunderbolt connector. This drive will be formatted so ensure you saved your files before going further. You can use either an SSD drive or a classic hard drive.
A Windows 7 or 8 install DVD or ISO (check whether to install 32 or 64 bits versions based on your Bootcamp drivers) and the corresponding Windows serial number.
One of the following:
Mac OS X with a Windows 7 or 8 Virtual Machine (use VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop for example. Note: VMWare Fusion seems to have some issues with Thunderbolt and USB3. Plug your drive to a USB2 enclosure or hub to work around this -it worked for me-, or use another VM software) → Read the important note below
A PC running Windows 7 or 8 → Read the important note below
Windows AIK (free) running on your Virtual Machine or on your PC, or just the imagex.exe file (the rest of the Windows AIK package is not needed)
Download imagex.exe
Download Windows AIK (this download and installation is not required if you have already downloaded imagex.exe)
Bootcamp drivers for your Mac. You can get these either by running bootcamp from your Mac (Applications > Utilities > Bootcamp) or, if like me you have a 3TB drive and can't run bootcamp at all, use the direct download links here.
A USB stick to store your bootcamp drivers
IMPORTANT: If your Mac has a 64 bits processor, your Windows Virtual Machine on OSX, your Windows installation on your PC and your Windows DVD/ISO must also be in 64 bits!
Step by Step guide
Step 1: Get the install.wim file
If you have a Windows ISO file:
Mount the ISO
If you're on OS X: double click on the ISO file
If you're on on Windows 7: Use a software like Virtual Clone Drive (free)
If you're on Windows 8: double click on the ISO file
Open the mounted drive, then go to the "sources" folder and locate the "install.wim" file. Save this file to C:\wim\ on your Windows installation or virtual machine.
If you have a Windows DVD: open the "sources" folder on the DVD and locate the "install.wim" file. Save this file to C:\wim\ on your Windows installation or virtual machine.
IMPORTANT: If instead of a "install.wim" file, you have "install.esd", you can not continue this step by step guide. And an ESD file can not be converted into a WIM file. So you must get a version of the Windows installation DVD/ISO that has an install.wim file.
Step 2: Clean, partition and format your external hard drive
On your Windows installation or virtual machine, plug in your external hard drive (can be plugged using USB2, USB3 or Thunderbolt at this stage)
Open the command prompt in administrator mode (cmd.exe). To run it in administrator mode, right click on cmd.exe > Run as admin.
Type the following and hit enter to open the disk partitioner utility:
diskpartType the following and hit enter to list your drives:
list disk
This will display a list of disks mounted on your computer or virtual machine. Make sure your drive is listed here before you continue.Identify the disk ID of your external hard drive. Replace # by your real external disk ID in the command below:
select disk #Clean all partitions by typing the following (warning: this will erase all data from your external drive!):
clean
Create the boot parition by typing the following followed by the enter key:
create partition primary size=350
This will create a 350MB partition on your external driveFormat the partition in FAT32 by typing the following:
format fs=fat32 quick
Set this partition to active by typing:
active
Assign a letter to mount this partition. We will use letter B in our example. If B is already used on your PC, replace B by any other available letter:
assign letter=b
Windows will detect a new drive and probably display a pop-up. Ignore that.Create the Windows installation partition using all the remaining space available on the external drive by typing the following:
create partition primary
Format the new partition in NTFS:
format fs=ntfs quick
Assign a letter to mount this partition. We will use letter O in our example. If O is already used on your PC, replace O by any other available letter:
assign letter=o
Windows will detect a new drive and probably display a pop-up. Ignore that.Exit the disk partitioner utility by typing:
exit
Step 3: Deploy the Windows installation image
Still using the command prompt in admin mode (you didn't close it, did you? ), locate the imagex.exe file mentioned in the "What you'll need" section and access its folder. In our example, we have put this file in C:\imagex\imagex.exe
Type the following and hit enter (remember to replace o: with the letter you have chosen in the previous step):
imagex.exe /apply C:\wim\install.wim 1 o:
This will take some time. The Windows installation image is being deployed to your external driveOnce done, type the following to create the boot section (remember to replace o: and b: with the letters you've chosen in the previous step):
o:\windows\system32\bcdboot o:\windows /f ALL /s b:
If you get an error message saying that you can't run this program on your PC, then most probably you are running on a 32 bits installation of windows and you're trying to deploy a 64 bits install. This means you did not read the important notes in the beginning of this guide
If you get an error message on the options that can be used with the BCDBOOT command, then it's because you're installing Windows 7, and the /f option is not supported. If that is the case, remove /f ALL from the command and retry.
Step 4: Boot from your external drive and install Windows
Plug in your external drive:
If you've done all the previous steps from a Windows PC, unplug your external drive from your PC and plug it to your Mac, either on a USB3 or a Thunderbolt port.
If you've done all the previous steps from your Mac using a Virtual Machine, ensure the external drive is plugged in to a USB3 or Thunderbolt port. Using USB2 should also work but you'll get very poor performance so I don't recommend doing that.
Reboot your Mac and once the bootup sound is over, immediately press the ALT (option) key and release it only when the boot drives selection screen appears. If you did not get the boot drives selection screen, reboot and try again. The timing to press the ALT (option) key is quite short. It must not be too early or too late.
On the boot selection screen, choose "Windows" using the arrow keys on your keyboard, then press enter.
The Windows installation starts. Follow the on-screen instructions as normal. The installation program will restart your computer one or 2 times. Don't forget to press ALT (option) right after the bootup sound, and boot on Windows again each time to continue the installation.
Step 5: Install bootcamp drivers
Once the Windows installation is complete, plug in the USB stick where you stored the bootcamp drivers (see "what you'll need" section), open it and right click on "setup.exe" and select "Run as admin". Follow the on-screen instructions.If you have an error saying that you can't run this program on this PC, obviously you have installed a 32 bits version of Windows and the bootcamp drivers for your Mac are made for a 64 bits version. You have to restart the whole guide and make sure to get a 64 bits version of Windows this time!
Once the bootcamp drivers are all installed, reboot and press ALT (option) after the bootup sound to boot on Windows again. And Voilà, you have Windows installed on your USB3/Thunderbolt drive running on your Mac.
Now each time you want to boot on Windows, press and hold the ALT (option) key after the startup sound and select "Windows", then press Enter.

Hi i'm trying to follow your guide, I installed windows 8 on bootcamp to do it planning to remove it after the operation is done, but i get stuck at part 3: every command i give to imagex i get a pop-up ftom windws asking how do I want to open this kind of file install.wim and imagex does nothing, what do i have to do to stop those pop-ups?

Auto_lexer (stemming) not working for other languages(other than english)

Hi All,
We are planning to use AUTO_LEXER instead of MULTI_LEXER and observed that stemming is not working for German where as it is working for English when I use AUTO_LEXER. I even used query templates but of no use.
But when i use MULTI_LEXER, creating sub lexers for German and Enlgish, Stemming is working for German also after changing the session language and setting stemmer of wod list to German (Which is expected).
Following is the code for AUTO_LEXER creation:
CREATE TABLE test_auto_lexer(pkey NUMBER(5,0),
lang_index VARCHAR2(3),
content_text CLOB,

this doesnt work even after changing the session language. My default Sesson language is AMERICAN.
Could any one help me with this, in case I am missing something here. I would be really thankful.

In the future, please begin a new thread for a new question and provide a link to a related question.
According to the online documentation, Oracle only supports stemming for English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese. Oracle does not support Russian stemming, although you may have gotten some accidental results, due to identifying it as a different language and applying stemming rules for that language. The following manual sections show the languages available for the index_stems attribute of the basic_lexer and stemmer attribute of the basic_wordlist:
Basic_lexer attributes:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/text.112/e24436/cdatadic.htm#CIHHBAAD
Basic_wordlist attributes:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/text.112/e24436/cdatadic.htm#g1019326
Also, please see the following note:
Features not available in 11.2.0.3:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/readmes.112/e22488/toc.htm#BABDGGDB
"Certain Oracle Text functionality based on third-party technologies, including AUTO_LEXER and CTX_ENTITY, have been disabled in this release (reference Bug 12618046). For BASIC_LEXER, the usage of the INDEX_STEMS attribute values that depend on third-party technologies, is also affected. If this impacts an existing application, contact Oracle Support Services for guidance."
Also, the auto_lexer has been replaced by the world_lexer, which only has one attribute:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/text.112/e24436/cdatadic.htm#BHCJEGFJ
I don't work for Oracle, so I don't know why they do things the way they do.
So, you need to stick with the basic_wordlist for stemming, not the lexers. However, you may get better performance by combining the multi_lexer with the basic_wordlist, as the multi_lexer eliminates time spent on automatic language detection. But, you need to remember not to use the index_stems with your lexer, since it will conflict with the wordlist. I am not experiencing any time problems as you have. Please see the demo below. I have provided the whole script below that, so that you can reproduce it on your system. If you still have problems, then it may be due to differences in versions.

Re: Mifi and Charging - does this work for charging the iPad?

I found the following post on here - but it is too old for me to reply directly to it - however, this was a very good post and it worked for me and I would really like to get in touch with mikebob to see if the same thing would work for charging the iPad - his ideas really work. And does he or anyone know how to charge the iPad from batteries?
thanks a lot

I finally managed to figure out the proper cabling to get the Verizon Mifi 2200 to charge using a generic USB charger. To recap the problem... The mifi device will only charge when using the supplied micro usb charger, or when connected to a computer USB port using the supplied micro USB cable. When connected to a computer, the device reverts to it's connected data mode, which turns off the wifi ssid broadcast and requires the Verizon access manager application to be launched. Most third party chargers will not work... including most 12V lighter to USB adapters, and most backup battery solutions.
Here is what is going on... Per the USB specification, Pins 1 and 4 are 5V power and ground respectively. Pins 2 and 3 are data+ and data-. In most chargers, pins two and three are tied via a pullup resistor to the 5V line. If you measure the voltage on 2 and 3 you will see around 3V, equivalent to a logic high state. This has something to do with allowing the device being charged to identify whether it should be in a fast or slow charging mode. More importantly, it is what the Apple iPod expects to see . So, anyone wanting to build generic USB chargers will probably implement this way in order to tap into the single largest device market around. Unfortunately, the mifi does not like the logic high on pins 2 and 3. I haven't yet sorted out why, but when it sees logic high on pins two and three, it refuses to go into charging mode.
The solution is to use a cable where pins 1 and 4 (5V and GND) are carried straight through. Pins 2 and 3 need to be disconnected from the charging source and shorted together at the Mifi end. If this was a miniUSB instead of a microUSB, it would be what is called a "charge only" cable. I have not found any vendors yet for a charge only microUSB cable so I went ahead and performed surgery on a standard microUSB cable. I took a standard USB cable, cut it and then connected it to a microUSB connector from an old Motorola bluetooth headset charger. Interestingly, the microUSB connector from the Moto charger already has pins 2 and 3 shorted together internally so all I had to do was connect 5V and ground and heat shrink tube the whole thing. With this cable I can charge the mifi from any generic USB port, including those on 12V lighter adapters, and rechargeable backup batteries. In addition, I can also connect the Mifi to my laptop to charge while continuing to access the Mifi via wifi.
Only word of caution... You really need to connect the Mifi to your computer using the standard data cable on occasion, say once per month. The reason is that it is only in this mode that you will receive notifications of S/W updates and/or the need to update your PRL. (preferred roaming list).

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

Apple - iOS 6 Whats New

Now able to copy photos from PC to iPhone - Here is how it worked for me!

This is a long one!
Most of us come here for the first time looking for answers on how to do something or to find out what we or our iPhones are doing wrong. I've been looking and watching the threads for over a week on several questions I have, one of which is why I "couldn't get photos from my PC to my iphone". I kept trying so many things I even unintentionally deleted the photos I had taken with the iphone camera. Luckily I had (somehow) downloaded them to my PC, but the problem was I couldn't get them back on to my iphone nor add other pictures to my iphone.
Well, if you are like me you look for the tiniest bit of information that may help work and reduce the frustration. I'm not really sure what happened to make it work correctly, but it did and has been working ever since. This may not help everyone but if it helps just one that is having the same problem I was, it will be worth me posting my resolution here. Again I'm not sure it will help but here is what made it work for me! Please tell us if it did or did work for you?
Ok here is what I did: I made a special folder on the root of one of the other drives (not my C drive) I have on my PC and called it "iPhone Pics and Movies". Under that I made two folders: one called "My iPhone Movies", the other called "My iPhone Pictures" (no quotes in any of those). I then took a small .jpg picture that was already on my PC (in another place), made a copy and renamed it with my daughters name( because it's a picture of her). It's five letters long starting with a capital letter and has no spaces, numbers, or any other symbols or characters. Then, I have an old version of Adobe Photoshop and used it to edit the photo size to near (not over) 640x480 (or vice versa in landscape). If you don't have Adobe Photoshop I don't know if it will work but would like to hear if it does from anyone that was having the same problem I was and this helped. The next thing I did was take that one picture I adjusted the size on and copy (not drag and drop) and paste into the folder I created My iPhone pictures. Then made sure my iphone wasn't connected, opened iTunes 7.4.1 (the new one) and selected the music on the left window (not that it would matter I guess). I made sure my iphone was off and connected it to the PC USB port, (clicked off the preverbal iPhone connected which program to use window that pops up) and let itunes finish seeing my iphone. Clicked on the iphone that now shows up in "Devices" on the left. BTW, I don't have anything selected in the "Options" area of the Summary Tab. Neither of those selections are checked at the bottom. I then went to the upper photos tab. When that window opened, I then unchecked the sync at the top and reselected it to have a check mark in it. Then changed the "sync photos from field" location to "Choose Folder" and browsed to and clicked on the new "iPhone Pics and Movies" (NOT the lower sub folder my iphoto pictures - not yet anyway) and then said OK. In iTunes, it immediatly populated the lower selection window with the two sub folders I made. Now I put a check mark in the "selected folders" block and it indicated I have (1) photo (which is correct only having my daughters photo in there. * I didn't do more than one photo at first because I had tried all this with more than one before and it didn't work. So just putting one in there at first seems to have jump started the process correctly (at least that's what worked for me). I then clicked on the bottom right (itunes right of the capacity bar) either "sync" or "add" (which ever was showing at the time). The process window at the top said it was processing photos (a good sign). When the sync rotor stopped on the device for iphone. I unplugged it from my PC and immediatly turned it on and went to photos happily and (FINALLY) to see three selections listed under photo albums. The standard "camera roll", a new "Photo Library (1)", AND (cheers from the crowd) "My iPhone Pictures (1)". Of course I selected my iphone pictures and there was the picture of my daughter. I shut down my iphone, closed itunes and proceeded to copy more photos to "My iPhone Pictures" folder. Then went through the whole process again and saw all my pictures in "My iPhone Pictures" folder showing up in my iphone.
NOTE: A folder will be created buy iTunes on your PC in your version of the "My iPhone Pictures" folder. That folder will be named by iTunes as "iPod Photo Cache". Don't change, move, or delete it. Just leave it alone. If you do you will have to start the whole process all over again (that's what happened to me).
This was long, but I wanted to make sure you had all the steps correctly to try for yourself. This has worked well ever since I "jump started it". I now have 36 pictures in my iPhone and will be adding more. If it helps, Good! If not, don't blame me, I was just telling you that it did work for me. Good Luck! Please take a minute to write a reply here if it did or did not work for you.

or... put your photos in "My Pictures" in My Documents, and viola, itunes syncs it to the iphone. only one sentence needed =/
maybe im missing your point here, the long paragraph is mindboggling

Hide "more" button in a list view, only works for first item in the list

I have the following code in a list view that outputs several dozen items in a web app. The code only works for the first item, how can I make it loop through and execute the test for each item in the list view? The {tag_hide more button} is a checkmark field that yields a numeric 1" if checked otherwise yields a numeric "0".
<div id="more-option">
        <p class="right"><a href="{tag_itemurl_nolink}" class="btn btn-small btn-very-subtle">More →</a></p>
      </div>
      <div class="more-selection" style="display: none;">{tag_hide more button}</div>
      <script>
if ($(".more-selection").text() == "1") {
    $("#more-option").hide();
</script>

What's the URL for the site where you are using this? Offhand, it looks like it should work with your first example so you are either placing the script before those elements are loaded or you might try wrapping your current javascript inside the:
$(document).ready(function() {
--- your existing javascript here
This make sure the code runs once all the html is loaded on the page. Without seeing a URL and debugging with the js console in Chrome I can't give you a solid answer.
But, I do know that you can probably do this with a lot less markup. Once we figure out what the actual problem is I have a better solution mocked up for you on jsfiddle.
When looking at my HTML code on jsfiddle, please realize I setup some dummy HTML and removed your tags and added actual values which would be output by your tags. The main thing I did was remove the whole div.more-selection and instead, added a "data-is-selected" attribute on your div.more-option element. Then, in my javascript for each div.my-option element on the page, we loop through them, find the value of that data attribute and hide that div if it's less than 1 (or 0).
Here's the fiddle for you to look at: http://jsfiddle.net/thetrickster/Mfmdu/
You'll see in the end result that only two divs show up, both of those divs have data-is-selected="1".
You can try pasting the javascript code near the closing </body> tag on your page and make sure to wrap my js inside a <script> tag, obviously. My way is neater on the markup side. If you can't get it to work it's likely a jquery conflict issue. My version is using the $(document).ready() method to make sure all the code is loaded before it runs.
Best,
Chris

ITUNES ONLY WORKS FOR 5 MINUTES AT A TIME

iTunes stopped working about a month ago, but then I fixed it using the msconfig solution. It worked for a while now I have the same problem, i can fix it, but then iTunes only works for about five minutes before closing. This is the only way I can fix it; first, by re-installing iTunes, then, doing the msconfig solution and restarting the computer. Then after about 5 minutes it closes. To open it again I have to go through the whole proccess. I cannot figure out how to permanently fix it.

Sounds like you have some malware that is interfering with iTunes.
What do you have to turn off in msconfig to get iTunes working?
It's pretty involved to remove it. If you have purchased security software like Norton or McAfee, I suggest contacting them for help.
Otherwise try this

Satellite L350D Works for a few minutes and then completely stop

Hi all!
I am having a weird problem with my laptop Satellite L350D-216
I've used it for a long time in a row and starts to show some strange vertical lines at the screen and kind of loose focus and then it went completely black
Since then if I switch off and leave for a few hours it switches on normally and work for 5/10 minutes and goes black again.
It happens after I was working on it for about 20 hours straight or so (might be related)
What i did tried:
-Switch on only with the battery
-Switch on only with the AC
-Take all off and hold off key for 1 min and then try again both above
When it does switch on everything seems to be working 100% without problem but doesnt last more then 10 minutes as I said
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hi Horwath and Pau Pau,
First of all thanks for trying to help.
This morning I've open the laptop and clean it the cooler completely (was full of dust) and it is now working full speed.
What I've noticed however is that the problem seems to be worsening. Today, even before the cleaning, when I switch on the computer after a whole night of i got the blank screen straight away. So I couldn't test it at BIOS as you guys ask me too, however yesterday, even before posting here, I've tried something similar and the black screen came after a few minutes as if i was using windows.
You think the GPU is faulty?
And, if the answer is yes, is it worthy/possible to replace? How much it would cost?
Any further test I could do to make sure the problem is at the GPU?
Thanks again
Amantino

How can I make the thesaurus work for spanish words?

I have been using pages for about 4 months now, and usually I use it in english. I am currently writing a document in spanish but I can't manage to make the thesaurus, dictionary and wikipedia work for spanish words. I really need this to find synonyms.
Any idea what do I need to do? I don't want to change the whole pages into spanish, nor I want the spanish spell check (I know how to do that), I only need the thesaurus.

Dear me, doesn't Español work?

Fingerprint utility is not working for normal users - Tecra M11

Hi All,
I installed windows 7 pro in Tecra M11 laptop and the Toshiba finger print utility is not working for normal users.
It is working only for domain administrators. The TFPU is not working for, normal domain users, local users, local administrators. If we run the utility it will ask to enter the windows password and once we applied the password then the message saying "entered password is not valid" will prompt even if we are trying to use the utility first time.
If we try with a domain admin account it will work without any problem. Can somebody help me to trouble shoot this issue?
Thanks.

People nowadays experienced that no matter How many times we glide our finger it have no response.In this instance, you might be very afraid of Windows password lost by reason that there is a plenty of important data on your PC.
Then what should you do? One choose is fix the Fingerprint scanners, but this method will cost a lot of money. The other is use the Windows password function to solve the problem. Certainly, this is a very safer, faster and easier to use method for you.
According my personal experience, you can try these three ways to re-access to your PC:
Method 1: Login with the default administrator account
* Step 1: Start Windows PC
* Step 2: When you can see the Windows login screen, press ctrl+alt+del keys Twice and it'll show Classic Login box
* Step 3: Type Administrator as Username and leave the password field blank
* Step 4: Press the Enter Key and then you can be able to login the default windows administrator account which is it created by default when install windows.
*Note:* This trick is only work for Windows XP. And when you input the key combination Please don't put the cursor on any account. And if you change the name or password before, you cannot login by this way.
Method 2: Use the previous password reset disk
This method describes how to create and use a password reset disk for a computer that is a member of a domain. You can use a Windows password reset disk to gain access to your Microsoft Windows Professional-based computer if you forget your Windows password. Please click here to learn more.
Method 3: Using Windows Password Unlocker
Using Windows password remove software is could be the fastest and easiest way for you to reset your Windows password while you didn't create a password reset disk before.
There are 2 options for you: recover Windows password with a bootable CD/DVD or recover Windows password with a USB flash drive.
Before starting, a bootable CD/DVD or USB flash drive and a computer with CD drive are required. (Internal CD drive and external CD drive are both OK.
Option 1: Recover Windows password by burning a bootable CD/DVD
Option 2: Recover Windows password by burning a USB flash drive
The whole Windows password recovery process can be divided to 3 big steps:
* >> Step 1: Burn a USB flash drive to remove lost Windows password
* >> Step 2: Set your target computer to boot from USB
* >> Step 3: Recover forgotten Windows password with the burned USB flash drive
In fact, all you need is a *Windows Password Unlocker www.passwordunlocker.com/windows-password-recovery.html which can help you directly reset your windows xp password, and then you can login your XP without a password required. Of course, there are also some other ways to do it, but this way may be most convenient one.

Firefox no longer works for many Banks

The whole point of Firefox was that it was customizable.
Now it doesn't work. It doesn't even work on your own pages.
I may as well use AppleSafari or switch to Chrome or Opera.
I hate having to waste my time customizing Chrome, but will seriously consider doing it.
I don't have time to try to get Firefox to work on Bank of America and Citibank. It does work for my Wells Fargo account.
Google Search also works: https://www.google.com/search?q=Firefox+30+has+become+unusable.&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb
and there are a score of hits.
I echo http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=184258 that FF eats up %CPU
I am sure that one of my favorite add-ons is the problem or that it is one of the security and privacy items that I use. When I was younger I had time and energy to step thru all the add-ons one by one and see which one did not for; now I don't. NightlyTester (add-on) used to provide me with a list of add-ons. Now it doesn't or doesn't under the current regime of Firefox, so, again, a laborious process of listing.
One other issue relating to upgrades and old add-ons. I used to have a long horizontal list of favorite bookmarks, possibly abbreviated to favicons, With the tabs below that were currently open, and the name of the browser on top (because of multiple gmail or facebook accts, I use several browsers.) What focus group did you use to put me back in the unfamiliar territory of the sharp edge of a learning curve? (Yes, ofc, I used Classic Theme Restorer to put things right.)

Hi DoesFirefoxRespond,
Thank you for your questions. I understand that there is an issue with accessing some bank sites. If you have already disabled Firefox add ons and have still experienced the same issue, please try the following:
# Open a Private Window and login to the bank site to see if it causes the same issue. It will not use active logins or previous history.

Please post back with your results, we are happy to help.

After upgrading to Mavericks App store only works for me when I switch over other users

After upgrading to Mavericks, the only options that work for me on App Store are Updates and Purchases, anything else only works if I switch my user either to guest or root? Any idea? Thx in advance.

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit the App Store application if it’s running. Wait at least 10 seconds before continuing.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.appstore
Caches/com.apple.storeagent
Caches/storeagent
Cookies/com.apple.appstore.cookies
Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.appstore.plist
Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.storeagent.plist
Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
Leave the Library folder open. Try the App Store again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit again and wait 10 seconds. Go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
Test. If the App Store now works, delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit again. Put back the files you moved, overwriting the newer ones that may have been created in their place, and post your results.

Premiere Pro CS6 stopped working, for one user profile

So Premiere Pro CS6 wouldn't open today. Opened fine yesterday, and the days before that. The program didn't crash yesterday or close improperly. I just get the logo splash screen, but I don't see the usual text stream of applications starting up on it. After a long time I get a Windows message saying it can't open the program.
- I used Bridge to update to the latest version. No help.
- I made sure Quicktime was updated.
- I cleared the preferences by moving the whole My Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\6.0 folder somewhere else (as a backup). Next time I tried starting the program it created a new \6.0 folder but that's as far as it went.
- I deleted AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro. Starting the program recreated the folder, made a Trace Database file but only put two entries in it:
DynamicLink 1 5
FE.WinInit.LocPlugins 1 5
And then it stops there. No other files created.
- Tried starting the program holding the Shift Key, and again with the Alt key, and again with both. No change.
- Rebooted after every change.
I tried logging out as the video user account and logging in with my personal account, and then Premier Pro opened just fine.
Problem is, I need it to work on the video user account because it was created specifically for our video editing PC. Our company logins also tie into our email and other programs. This one was created specifically so more than one person could share Premiere Pro settings and resources, and there was a battle with our IT to get it because they despise generic accounts.
I've seen other threads here mentioning startup problems but the solutions listed there don't work for me. Manually trashing the \6.0 folder didn't help. I don't have a .pref file or Preferences folder other than the \6.0 one. I haven't made any changes to the PC. The video drivers must be OK or it wouldn't start under the other user account. How do I fix this one?

This was Microsoft patch week... did you install Windows updates?
•What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
•What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
•Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
•For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information
•-you need to go direct to the vendor web site and check updates for yourself
•ATI Driver Autodetect http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/auto-detect-tool
