BUG: JSC crashes and leaves broken managed_beans.xml

I have a project. Created a directory called Mailbox. In that directory I made a number of pages.
Now I start renaming the files. After the third or fourth file, JSC freezes and after waiting for over a minute (which usually takes a second) without any response, I decide to kill the 'java' instance belonging to runide.sh.
Running the program now gives an exception: Unable to instantiate class.
Looking at the code of src/web/WEB-INF/managed_beans.xml I found the following phrase
<managed-bean-class>foo.Mailbox.Mailbox$OutSend</managed-bean-class>This code is incorrect and should have been:
<managed-bean-class>foo.Mailbox.OutSend</managed-bean-class>The code only appears when JSC crashes. I can reproduce the crash, but I haven't tried making a 'minimal testcase'.
System:
Dual xeon 3 ghz
Fedora Core 3 (Linux)
Latest version of JSC; no upgrades available.

Hi,
I was trying to reproduce your problem but was unable. Such performance issues have been taken care in update6. Are you using the update6 ?
Thanks,
Creator Team.

  • Huge CPU and HDD load without a reason. And lots of bugs, lags, crashes and freezes

    So with latest updates Firefox became as shitty as Google Chrome and other browsers made by marketers instead of programmers.
    Everyday I see crashes, lags, freezes. If I open more than 5 tabs - lags with flash-video guaranteed. If I open large pages (9Gag) - there's a big chance of "black screening" of all the tabs until restart.
    Why previous versions worked fine? In the same hardware.
    Here's screenshot of taskmanager while Firefox doing that "blackscreening":

    Why do I have to restart my browser each 30 minutes to prevent that bugs? Why my CPU and HDD loaded as hell by fckng browser when I can't even use this browser?
    What a hell are you doing there, developers?

    I thought it will be attached automatically when I installed addon for this and saw "attach something" button.

  • Every Time when window restart Firefox crashed and stop script tabbrowser.xml

    Firefox gets hanged and showing this browser/content/tabbrowser.xml 2425 error whenever restart windows and start firefox.

    I noticed you put Firefox crashed in your title. Can you see if you have any reports submitted by following the steps below?
    #Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
    #Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and paste them into your response here.
    [[Image:SubmittedCrashReports-Win7|width=520]]
    <br><br>
    Also, your description of the problem is too vague and is most likely caused by an extension. Please do the following:
    *Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the ''Help'' menu and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the submenu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the menu.
    Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    *At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.

  • Ipad Pinyin Bug- apps crash and abort using certain characters

    I seem to have a serious problem using the Chinese Simplified Pinyin on the Ipad 2. Typing certain characters causes whatever app I am typing in to close on me, bringing me home. Because of this, writing emails and notes is nearly impossible. It works on every app, so I can't write my emails in a notepad and then copy it onto Mail. My "blacklist" of common characters that trigger this problem include at least 10 common characters now. This is unacceptable- it is almost impossible to write Chinese on this thing. I have tried everything (restarting, etc.) except a complete restore to manufacturing settings.
    Is anyone else having a similar problem? Are there any fixes available?

    There is really nothing you can do to fix things beyond a reset of your device.  Report it to Apple and make sure you always tell people what iOS version you are using, since it is a software issue and they need to know what software is involved.

  • IPod video 5th G - Can only load about 15 songs before it crashes and won't allow me to add any more - Is my hard drive broken?

    I have an iPod Video, 5th Generation - a few years old aye, but it does the job. Recently it crashed and wouldn't respond at all, I tried the 5 R's and the iPod wouldn't restore at all. Finally I managed to restore it, but then encountered a new problem.
    When I try to put new music onto the iPod the maximum I can really add is about 15/16 songs (currently sitting about 112 MB). I can use the iPod just fine with this on it, but I can't add any songs or anything past this limit. I can take songs off and add new ones on, but again cannot pas this limit.
    It is a 30GB hard drive, so I should be able to load near enough 30GB onto it.
    Whenever I try to pass the limit and add new songs a message saying "Attempting to copy to the disk "RUSSELL'S I" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69).", and then a second message pops up reading "iTunes could not copy "Song" to the iPod because an unknown error occurred (-69)."
    Looking to find out, does this mean my Hard Drive is broken/damaged, or could it possibly be a different issue, as buying a new hard drive is reasonably cheap, but if it turns out to be the motherboard or something else then I don't want to have wasted the money buying a new HDD only to find out the problem hasn't been fixed.
    Has anyone else had this issue? Or anybody found a way to fix it?
    Cheers
    Russell

    See here: iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod
    You can use the disk diagnostic tool built into the iPod's firmware to test the health of it's Hard Drive.  See this post from another forum member turingtest2 on how to do this as well as what the resulting numbers mean.

  • Kindle plugin crashes and bugs

    Hello,
    I've been using Indesign since 2001 for publishing Bibles (large Books of 700+ pages).
    Recently, I started using the Kindle plugin for CS4. The first Kindle Book was successful, but I have some bugs to report.
    Just about every time I start the export to Kindle process, the export crashes and I get a popup saying "Object invalid" or "not an Object". I restart the export, and it runs. Go figure.
    Sometimes, the export will halt part way through the process, and popup the same message(s) about an invalid object.
    If this doesn't happen, the resulting .mobi file is good and usable. Although I have found that any indented text (such as a Table of Contents [just text not hyperlinked or anything]) with 3 levels of indentation will not line up correctly in the outputted file; and anything I do to correct it doesn't seem to work; and the result will look different in different Kindle devices, according to the Kindle emulator tool.
    If these problems are ignored and an output .mobi file can be generated, the Kindle file is pretty good. It is much better quality than a comparable .mobi file generated starting with Word documents, then using the Amazon emulator tool to convert it to .mobi. So kudos to Adobe guys, your product is performing better than the alternative, but there are still warts.
    The 2nd problem I am having currently, is that I have another Bible version that I have prepared for exporting to Kindle format, using identical everything  to the previous Bible version. There are 40 individual documents tied together by a "Book", relatively small sizes. Every time I have tried to export this Book to Kindle, it crashes, and I have no idea why. I tried "save as" for every document, so each one would be a clean file.
    I just did another export, and I got the following error popup that you can see here. Please help if you can. Thanks

    I think I figured out what was wrong.
    I was using a Book with 40 different documents tied together into a single Book.
    I created a new document and "repoured" the content from the single documents into the new single document with a lot more pages. After adding several of the single doc contents, I did a test run to see if the old bugs would should up, and not a single one did.
    I still need to repour all of the content into the new single document and retest, but I've got a feeling that this was the problem. It appears that the Kindle plugin works fine with single docs, but not with Books and a bunch or even a few single docs tied together. That creates crashes, and it always results in that error that you see in the photo above.
    That should help you all to run down the source of the problem.
    I liked the Book w/ single docs, because I needed to create a TOC with each single doc. If they're all together when creating the TOC, unless you do a lot of extra work making special styles for each TOC, it all globs together and that's not what was desired.
    So anyway, I hope this helps. I'll post again, once I get it all combined tomorrow and rerun the export, and let you know the results.

  • Firefox crashes and all website pages loose their formatting and pictures, and links are broken

    I’m currently running Firefox 18.0.1 on a 13” 2011 MacBook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8GB or RAM that is running OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. I have been living with this problem for over a year and this same computer has had this problem while running OS X 10.7 and I think even 10.6. The problem also existed with earlier versions of Firefox including versions 17, 16, and possibly 15, it’s been so long I can’t remember.
    The problem is that Firefox crashes (or something within Firefox crashes) and the screen “goes white” and by that I mean all the graphics and layout of a page like YouTube disappears and even though the links are there, none of them work. The page is just made up of text and broken links. Reloading the page does nothing so I have to close Firefox and restart it. (No reboot) On relaunch everything is back to normal and may last a few minutes, or it may crash again right away. Generally if I launch Firefox and use it and then go use some other programs, when I come back to Firefox it will then crash. Is this a Java problem? Is this a javascript problem? I really don’t know what it is but it has persisted through several operating systems and different versions of Firefox running on different operating systems. I’m stumped and can’t find anyone who’s ever seen this problem. Any help or clues would be greatly appreciated.
    I should add that this problem is present on ALL webpages, not just one or a few. Safari works fine on the same machine and visiting the same websites. I have screen caps of the crashed pages but I don't know how to post them here.

    Please type about:crashes in the URL bar and provide us with the latest crash ids. Please do not make a screenshot but instead copy and paste. Thanks!

  • PP crashing and giving NVIDIA OpenGL Error Code:6 when in FCP XML sequence

    Hi guys/gals,
    In an attempt to do an online and colour grade of a music video I shot with the EPIC recently, I loaded up a FCP XML (created with FCP version 7) file into a new 2k, 2:1, 23.98 sequence from the presets and re-linked the offline EPIC .r3D's to color in PP and AE CS5.5.
    Mix of sizes, 2k, 3k and 5k as well as some 5D shots. My playback settings are Paused: Full and Play: 1/8th
    As I go through and clean up the sequence for finishing Premiere Pro keeps crashing and giving me an error:
    NVIDIA OpenGL Driver Error Code: 6
    "Your hardware configuration does not meet minimum specs"
    When I build a new sequence from scratch with all the same footage, PP chugs along and moves slowly as I make changes and scrub through the footage but it doesn't crash.
    Is this a known issue with FCP XML's and PP and is there a fix?
    As far as I know my system is spot on and up to date on all drivers, could it be a faulty GPU??
    Specs:
    GEFORCE 285.62 DRIVER
    I am running CS5.5, with EPIC plug ins installed.
    Asus Sabretooth
    Intel i7 3600
    16GB Corsair RAM
    Nvidia GTX580
    120GB SSD C:
    2TB Raid0
    Thanks for any advice in advance.
    Cheers,
    Kevin

    "Mix of sizes, 2k, 3k and 5k"
    You would need Max GPU memory to play back that high resolution material consistent flawless.
    How much on dedicated Memory does the Nvidia GTX580 have?
    Later, I searched at new egg,  they had GTX580s with choice of  either
    1536MB or  3GB.
    You may need the 3gb model to get MPE Hardware acceleration correctly with 3k and 5k material.

  • 50% CPU load @ Boot: nmbd crash and reload bug

    I have seen several threads here and around the net about samba on OSX using over 50% of the CPU without showing up in the activity monitor OR in top on the command line. While this is easily solved by unchecking the Windows Sharing service under System Preferences -> Sharing, this is not a fix. It just hides the problem, samba is still broken, and those of us who actually need windows interoperability are left with a machine that gets very hot, has poor battery life, and performs sluggishly.
    Don't get me wrong, I am grateful to the people who actually found out what the problem is and how to get around it for a bit, but the problem is not "solved".
    I've used *nix flavors for several years now and I have never seen this problem before. After having a MacBook for 8 days, I am now very frustrated.
    So, what do we do to FIX the problem? An hour and a half on the phone with Apple Tech Support and I've learned that this problem has persisted through OSX 10.1 - 10.4.6, x86 and PPC. One person in these forums is trying (unsuccessfully I might add) to rebuild samba from scratch (for a different reason, they need ldap support: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2166703

    I just diagnosed this problem on my new MacBook. I had seen that suddenly my CPUs would peg for no reason. Finally after a few days of frustrating work trying to identify the offending program I noticed that nmbd would be launched time and time again as a root process and the CPU load would correspond with it, but its process would not be shown consuming the cycles. Looking up what nmbd did I killed Windows file sharing and the problem was resolved. Looks like the program crashes and causes all of the load on the CPUs, but a debugger never comes up or message from the Finder saying it crashed. It was only consuming 1.25megs of RAM on my system before the problem would happen over and over. Looking on my friends MacMini with identical specs to my MacBook, his constantly uses about 3.58 megs of RAM. Process broken on MacBooks only? Dunno...
    Yes it *****, but at least I know my computer isnt actually busted like I was beginning to suspect nor was it any of the various beta programs / haxies I may have been running. (Since all of them were gone once I did a clean install.) Maybe 10.4.7 will address it?

    I usually have 30 tabs opened, and the memory rises in a unexpected way, so that when it reaches 1.2GB, firefox crashes. Also If, for e.g. firefox is consuming 700MB of memory (with a lot of tabs opened), and if i close those tabs and leave just 2 or 3 opened, the memory usage does not drop and remains at the 700MB.

    I have the same sort of problem with 30-40 tabs, with memory usage growing until crash. It seems a lot worse after restarting from standby mode on Vista - it's often highly unresponsive for a while, then crashes.
    I have a fair few plug-ins running, one of the benefits of Firefox.
    Is their a way I can log memory use of parts of Firefox, particularly the plug-ins?

  • Serious Error crashes CS and CS2 when importing XML

    Hello,
    I'm trying to import XML carrying text and images into a 130+ page brochure. I have been working on it for several weeks and have been re importing the XML successfully although something has changed.
    Now when I try to import I get an error message and InDesign closes.
    I've created new blank documents to test it and the initial import works fine. Although after items have been placed and tagged a re import causes an error message to pop up that states: Indesign has discovered a serious error and is shutting down.
    There is nothing that we can see in the code that would cause this. We were trying to overcome a formatting issue and had tweaked the XML. but even after we returned the XML back to its original form we still get an error message. even in new test documents.
    Any ised?

    I don't work with XML, but in my experience, "serious errors" are often caused by bad fonts.
    You might want to try changing the fonts in the code and see if that helps. You should also look through the error logs to see if you can isolate the module causing the problem. There should be a log in the InDesign application root folder, even if there isn't one in Event Manager.

  • Mac Pro - crashed and now won't start up, stripes on screen + kernel panic?

    My computer apparently crashed while the screensaver was up (I was away for 10 or so mins, just Firefox and World of Warcraft in windowed mode running), as it was showing a black screen with a fuzzy whitish line along the top and was completely unresponsive. Unusual, but nothing to freak out about.. right?
    So I did the on switch turn off/turn on routine and as soon as anything shows on the screen, I've got these black + white horizontal bars/stripes along the top 1/4 of my screen. The Apple Logo and the spinning progress bar have little fuzzy red spots on 'em. That's when it's time to freak out, as we're in "my computer done broke itself" territory. A few seconds of fuzzy progress bar and we get the wonderful "You need to restart your computer" message.
    Fine.. restart.. same thing.
    Reset the PRAM and SMC. Same thing.
    Can't start up from external disks.. it just gives the same stripes + message.
    I'm running a detailed hardware test (the hardware test loads but with the same stripes at the top and annoying blue/red vertical ones in the background to boot), and it's been running for about 80 minutes and is only 60% of the way through.
    Anything else I can do, or do I have to drag the heavy thing to an Apple store and leave it there for a month? How in the world does a computer go from "working fine" to "completely broken" in 10 minutes?

    More details:
    The regular/non-extended Hardware Test returned no problems, despite taking hours for what was supposed to be a 3-5 minute test. I haven't dared run the extended.
    I also tried removing third-party RAM and using the original configuration, then just the third-party and no Apple, etc.. It's not the RAM, as the problem is exactly the same.
    I'm going to call up Apple support when I can, but just looking for other things I can check or possibly do until then, or just insight on what the problem could be.
    Is it most likely the graphics card? Could it be an issue with the core hardware?

  • My iMac keeps crashing and I have no idea why

    My iMac keeps crashing, and I don't know why. It started yesterday and for some reason just fails. I get an message saying it has shut down due to an error, and this is then the details of the error report it produces.
    Can anyone please help and tell me what is wrong?
    Huge thanks.

    And what is wrong with Trend Micro Titanium as a package?
    1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack, and what you should and should not do to protect yourself from that threat. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
    If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
    OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
    It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
       3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
    An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
    For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
    4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
    5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
    That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source, or that does something inherently untrustworthy. How do you know what is trustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
    Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
    Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily harmful.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
    Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
    6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
    Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
    7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free anti-virus products in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
    Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
    In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. Most of the real-world danger of malware attack comes from highly targeted "zero-day" exploits that are not yet recognized.
    By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
    A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
    ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
    Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless a network administrator requires you to do it.
    The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
    10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer is going to be infected every time you install an application, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you have the false idea that you will always be safe, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

  • My iPod touch 4gen keeps crashing and lagging?? Help??

    I have recently updated my iPod touch 4th generation to the new iOS 6.1.2, which I now seriouslyregret doing after reading a lot of the bad reviews on it for iPod 4g users. Whenever I open an app, after about a minute or a few seconds it crashes, especially Facebook and Tumblr, Safari and Google. My iPod is incredibly slow, especially when trying to type. My power button/lock button is broken, and I am currently using the Assistive Touch. I don't think there is a way of turning it off now without leaving my iPod useless. I've had my iPod for about two years now, and up until now I've had no crashing/lagging problems. Even the App Store, iTunes, Photos, and General crashes, and I am becoming very ****** off. I don't have the money to get it fixed and I don't know how to restore it, nor Jailbreak it, even though I don't think you're supposed to. I don't want my iPod to become useless because I use it all the time and I don't have the money to replace it. If anyone can help, please do! I seriously don't want to have to just throw it away :/ Also, if I can downgrade it to iOS 5.1.1, will that help matters any? Thanks.

    Looks like a visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
