Calculation Script... won't run after restart of acrobat

I added a custom calculation script to a field. Works like a charm.
However if I restart acrobat the script refuses to run. I go in and confirm the script is there.
If i go in an just add a space or a comment to the script it will start running again.
Any ideas?
I also saved the PDF and opened it in reader on another machine. Won't run there.
So I attached it to an onfocus event and that seems to work fine after saving??
So I then tried adding a "simplified field notation" and the same behavior exists there. If i restart acrobat the only way i can get the simple notation to run is if I remove it and then re-add it. Otherwise it does nothing.
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks in advance.

George,
I wasn't clear enough. The script does nothing. Editing values of text boxes that would trigger the calculation to occur will not run until after I have edited the script. (something as silly as just adding a comment will cause it to work again)
For the simple calculation I need to remove it completely and add it again before it will work
Here is an example for a net worth box:
Add to "simple field notation"
assets - liabilities
Then I hit ok and whenever I add in some liabilities or assets those 2 fields are updated and my networth field is updated. Thats works great
I save the file and then open it back up and add some liabilies/assets and the fields I used the built in "sum" function on continue to work (assets and liabilities) however my "simple field notation" does not update my networth field.
I go back into field designer and verify that the simple field calculation radio box is still selected and that it still says
assets - liabilities
It continues not to run. I then go back in and edit it to remove the calculation.
I then open it up again and select "simple field notation" and type in
assets - liabilities
This then works immediately and i am happy again until i save/restart acrobat (or try to open the PDF on another PC)
Then I am sad again because the script doesn't run.
I tried all these same steps with a JavaScript too. It will work until acrobat is restarted. If i edit the script by adding a space or comment it will start running again.
So frustrating! Any help is appreciated.

Safari won't run after restart

Running Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro 17" unibody. Just did a CarbonCopyCloner back-up, then restarted the machine. Noticed my Safari icon in the dock looked weird (generic note icon). Went to my apps and noticed the Safari.app icon looks the same (no Safari icon... only a generic note icon) and Safari won't launch at all from the Safari.app.
I primarily use Firefox and Chrome, so loosing Safari is no biggie, but I'd like to know what the heck happened after restart. Any clues?
Thanks!

NRM won't run after restart

I was monitoring an oes2sp2 linux srvr with NRM (this is a vm on a xen kernal) when the cpu utilization went up to 100%. I discoverd that the httpstkd process was causing the high utilization. So I issued a restart using the rcnovell-httpstkd restart. Now NRM won't launch and viewing the action using top I can't see the httpstkd process running. I haven't tried a restart on the server but that seems like the last resort.

AE CS6 won't run after the Mavericks 10.9.3 update

My AE CS6 won't run after the Mavericks 10.9.3 update the other day. I was prompted that the current version of my AE was 11.0, so I searched and found the seemingly most up-to-date here: Adobe - After Effects : For Macintosh : Adobe After Effects CS6 11.0.4 Update : Thank You
My question is this: since I'm new to Mac, should I download the update and install it to my existing instance of AE and it will allow AE CS6 to run as normal? And the way to install the update is simply to double-click the .dmg?
Thanks!

Instructions for installing the update are on the download page here:

Itunes won't run after download

itunes won't run after download. simply asks to acknowledge agreement which I did. help

You appear to be able to backup your contacts without iTunes. Google "backup iphone contacts without itunes".
The way to avoid having to get a tech person in is to get past the idea that your problem (which you still haven't defined) is "beyond my ability to fix". ;-)

Safari 3.0.2 won't run after 3.0.1 worked fine

Safari 3.0.1 was working fine for me on win xp pro after copying fonts to address text problem. I downloaded 3.0.2 and installed. the install appeared to work fine, but when I try to run safari, i get no error and it won't run. I've turned off firewall & AV software, etc. I have uninstalled and re-installed. I even tried reinstalling 3.0.1 after uninstalling 3.0.2. all to no avail. any suggestions?
Windows XP Pro

just a suggestion but have you tried cleaning safari from your registry?? The reason I ask is because if you save bookmarks then uninstall safari and then reinstall it still has your bookmarks, so not all files are being deleted upon uninstall. Don't know if that helps you but its worth a try

PHP script won't run in the background

Hi all
Hope someone can help me with a weird issue I have...
I am trying to run a php CLI script in the background and it just won't run - it has a status of Stopped SIGTOU (Trying to write output) - Here are the details
OS
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2
PHP
PHP 5.3.6 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Sep 8 2011 19:34:00)
Copyright (c) 1997-2011 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2011 Zend Technologies
I created a basic script test.php
<?php echo 'Hello world'.PHP_EOL; ?>
Here are the results of various tests:-
Test 1) php -f test.php (Hello world gets displayed)
Test 2) php -f test.php >test.log 2>&1 (Hello world gets put into test.log)
Test 3) php -f test.php >test.log 2>&1 & --- I get [1]+ Stopped(SIGTTOU) php -f test.php > test.log 2>&1 -- and the job just sits there doing nothing nothing gets logged however lsof shows the log file is open
It has to be something to do with Apple's php build because a similar bash shell script gets executed no problems in the background...
This has me stumped ... any ideas? What can I do to find out what is going on ...?
TIA
Rich

Just realized your trying to load the php files by using the File->Open menu item in the Browser. That won;t work.
You have to load the php file by placing it in the Sites folder and entering http://localhost/file.php
(or if you have user Sites enabled http://localhost/~user/file.php)
The reason it is grayed out is that the browser doesn't run (or know of) php files. The web server runs those (via php) and the output of the file goes to the web browser.
This page How to enable Web Sharing in OS X Mountain Lion does a pretty good job of explaining it. (as does the user tip I lonked to before)

ITunes won't run after downloaded.

I downloaded iTunes to Windows XP successfully, but it won't run when I attempt to open it. Nothing happens. My iPod should arrive in a week and I want to have iTunes prepared to transfer songs ASAP!
Why won't iTunes open after I've successfully downloaded it??!!

...ok, I downloaded iTunes 6.0 and it worked fine until my iPod cam and it said I needed version 7.0 or higher to transfer songs[thanks a lot apple].

Script won't run unattended

I know very little about applescript, so please be gentle with me...
I have a script (written by someone else) which copies some folders to a flash drive (for offsite backups). It launches, mounts disks, clears the old files off of the flash drive, then does the copy. It is set to run at 2am. Every morning I come in, and the machine has an "Apple Event timeout" panel up, and the script has terminated without running the backup. I then double-click on the script and it runs flawlessly.
A couple of details...
After the script mounts disks, it puts up an alert panel that says "All drives are now mounted". That panel is set to time-out and for the script to continue if nobody clicks on the "ok" button.
If I am running interactively, and I sit there and watch the panel, then it times out after the allotted 15 seconds, and the script then copies just like it's supposed to. HOWEVER -- if I shift to another application (for example I select the Finder to go check on some other files), then I don't see the panel (of course) because my script doesn't have focus. But the little applescript icon jumps in the dock. If I sit there, not acting on the jumping icon, not bringing the script to front, then I get the "Applescript timed out" message and the script fails.
Does anybody recognize this problem and could you give me some ideas on how to fix it?

Well, it seems to me that the dialog serves no useful purpose, so I'd delete the line in the script that displays the dialog. It's a horrible user interface that interrupts the workflow to tell you everything's normal (or, at least, working as expected). Applications should warn/inform you of errors or unusual conditions.
If, for some reason, you want to keep the dialog then your best bet is to activate the application that's displaying the dialog. For example:
tell me
activate
display dialog "here's a really annoying dialog telling you everything's OK"
end tell
This will have the effect of bringing the script application frontmost before displaying the dialog, therefore overcoming the 'app in background' error you're running into. There's no trivial way, though, to set the focus back to the previous app, which just adds to the annoyingness of this pointless dialog.

418849,
favicon.ico is not the issue
I see two issues:
1) If both dads.conf and marvel.conf are included in the Apache configuration, then that will be an error as you cannot have two Database Access Descriptors defined with the same name.
2) You're missing the 'ServiceNameFormat' string after your value for PlsqlDatabaseConnectString.

Intermittent "Power Shell Script failed to run" after installing SQL MP 6.5.4.0

We recently installed the SQL MP. One thing I am struggling with is this "Power Shell Script failed to run" that occasionally comes up, but, not always on the same server, and not always at the same time.
It says it ran past the configured timeout of 300 seconds.
The post that seemed to have me on the right track was
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c539a55d-dd48-438f-b7d5-06ed2cecf6e9/powershell-script-failed-to-run-alerts-from-sql-management-pack-6410?forum=operationsmanagergeneral
However, even after getting one of the several scripts that have been generating the error, out of the extract management pack, it has parameters that need to be fed to it that I have no idea what they are....
Example. ActiveRequestsDataSource.ps1 requires $computername, $connectionstring, $tcpport, $sql_wmi_namespace, and $servicename.
The computername is easy enough... so is tcpport. but, the others... not so much.
I am fairly certain I will be able to run these manually, if I just knew the parameters... I am also fairly certain we are getting these because at the time of the check, resources on that server are tied up for one reason or another.
Can someone please help? This is killing me.

Hi,
As this issue happens after you installing SQL MP, so from my point of view, it seems like caused by the runas account for the SQL MP is not configured well, I would like to suggest you follow the article below to configure runas account for the management
pack:

Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC 14 won't run after installing

I tried installing the Lightroom and PS upgrades through the Creative Cloud installers - they install but won't run. Lightroom won't start at all now and PS starts, gets to the main window and immediately shuts down. I've restored, reinstalled, uninstalled all old versions, run CC cleaner multiple times sucessfully - nothing has worked.
Help is appreciated.

MiniDVI with Dual Link won't display after restart

I have a bizarre problem I can't find and hope to get some help.
I have a brand new late 2009 Mac Mini 2.53Ghz with 4Ghz of RAM running OSX 10.6.1 and Vista Ultimate 32bit via Bootcamp 3.0 drivers.
I have the Mini DVI Dual Link adapter so I can use my 30" Apple Display.
When I run Vista Ultimate, the display works fine, unless I run a restart to reboot Windows. When that happens, the mini seems to cycle just fine, but there is no video on the monitor. Sound works fine, and nothing seems amiss with the Mac Mini except that there is no video.
If I then cut the power to the Mac Mini (not a nice thing to do!), when power comes back it reboots and the display works fine with full video.
This must be some foolishness associated with the use of the Mini DVI output into the Mini DVI Dual Link adapter, but there is no other choice in the matter with the latest Mini.
Any suggestions?

I purchased the same computer: 2009 Nov 16, Mac Mini, 4GB RAM.
Computer runs great with the dual-link video adapter connected to my 30" Apple display.
I installed Boot Camp 3.0, Windows 7 32 bit (Business).
The video driver (by default is a 2006 Microsoft version) and only support a max resolution of 1600 x 1000 (aprox - sorry not in front of it at the moment).
I downloaded and installed the latest Windows 7 driver from nvidia to hopefully correct the problem, but matters worsened, with the max resolution dropping to 800x600. I backed out the latest Nvidia driver and am back to the Windows default - which is OK, but not nearly the resolution that I paid for and presently enjoy with MAX OS X.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

ITunes 7 won't run after reinstalled XP MediaCenter & reinstall iTunes7

We made backup copies of the iTunes folder on an external HD, then reinstalled WinXp MediaCenter (not full clean install) and moved iTunes files back from the external HD, then reinstalled new iTunes 7; however, it won't run now. When we click on the icon, it just says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close, we are sorry for the inconvenience. If you are in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. Please tell Microsoft about this problem. We have created an error report that you can send to us." We've tried reinstalling iTunes many times. We've turned Antivirus & Wndows firewall off and on when installing, but no difference.
Anyone got any suggestions because my wife and 2 teenagers are lost without their iTunes and iPods.
Thanks,

Someone in a different forum said to be sure that iTunes is installed under the primary user with Administrator Privileges. I'm pretty sure I did that, but I'll try it again to see what happens.

Programs won't run after update to 10.6.7

Hi
I have just inherited an early 2008 iMac following my Dad's death a few months ago. So I have no Mac experience at all. On receiving it, I booted it up and a list of recommended software updates appeared which I ran, and by all accounts successfully installed. One of them was an update to 10.6.7
Previous to the update I could access the installed programs. Now I can access barely any of them.
Error message reads:
Application name cannot open.
Check with the developer to ensure this version of application name works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS.
There aren't any further updates needed. Every time I check, I'm advised everything is uptodate. So last night I reinstalled iTunes, downloading the latest version. That won't run. Same error message.
I'm unsure what to do now. I don't have any disks etc at the moment as Mum is still trying to locate them (they had more than one property and this has come out of one that has been boxed up and put onto the market).

This is a typical error report. The section I have bolded out seems to be common in all the errors.
