Can't stop backlight timing out when using OverDrive media

Subject says it all. The OverDrive brightness control does nothing. Constant dimming makes the Playbook rather useless as an eReader.
Any ideas please?
Thanks.

Hi: Slightly embarrassed! Did none of those things. Finally realized that I could set the time out to a maximum of 5 minutes. The choices I initially saw only ranged from 10 - 45 seconds and I didn't scroll up. Hey, we can't be bright and intelligent all the time!
So, the two minute setting works as it takes less than two minutes to read a screenfull, and hitting page forward keeps the PB awake.
It was mere stupidity on my part as I thought that I was stuck with a maximum of 45 seconds.
If only I could answer my other PB questions as easily!

I can't find the audio books transferred using OverDrive Media Console

I have downloaded audiobooks using OverDrive Media. They are transferred to my Ipod nano but don't show up in "Audiobooks" .or anywhere else.

Do they appear in iTunes? They must, since you used iTunes to sync the items to your iPod nano...
In iTunes, in what category (under LIBRARY in sidebar) do they appear? If they do not appear under Books, find (and select) the items in your iTunes library (or on a playlist), wherever it is listed. Do a Get Info on the item. In the Info window, on the Options tab, make sure Media Kind is set to Audiobook.
Make sure the items now appear in the Books category. Try syncing them to your nano again.

Wget - Connection timed out when using "long" strings

I'm having a problem with a little script to change some settings for IP-phones. Here is the script:
#!/bin/bash
for i in "0" #"4"
do
for j in $(seq 176 176)
do
wget --timeout=1 --tries=1 --keep-session-cookies --save-cookies cookies.txt --post-file=postfile http://192.168.$i.$j/dologin.htm
wget --timeout=1 --tries=1 --load-cookies cookies.txt --post-file=postfile2 http://192.168.$i.$j/update.htm
done
done
postfile looks like this and is just for logging in:
P2=<pass>&
postfile2 looks like this:
P270=123456&
The problem now is, when using it like above, everything works fine. But if I make the text in postfile2 one character longer, I get this:
Connecting to 192.168.0.176:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... Read error (Connection timed out) in headers.
Giving up.
It doesn't matter where I put the character to make the string longer (I can for example use P32=1234567& and it works). I have tested the script from different machines and used different phones, always the same. Any ideas?

daf666 wrote:The two files look identical, are you sure that the "bad" one is actually a capture of the timed out session? (both have same data length and same value in the content-length header).
Yes, they are different and the bad is is from the timeout .
daf666 wrote:Anyway, this timeout might occur, if for some reason wget will say content length is 10 and send only 9 characters in the post request..
Any idea what I can do about it? There is something fishy going on. I did this once before a few month ago when I wanted to change other settings. I tried to do the same thing again but even this doesn't work anymore. Maybe I should just try curl .

Verizon server timing out when using Yahoo to send and answer emails from Verizon user

A friend uses Yahoo for his email even though he is a Verizon customer. Frequently when he sends or responds to emails from my Verizon email account, he gets Failure Notices saying that the "Verizon Server is unavailable for too long". How can this be fixed short of saying "stop using Yahoo"?

The Yahoo/Verizon issue happens when Yahoo blocks Verizon's servers or vice-versa, and is usually cleared up within a day or two.
You can report it to Verizon if you want, but odds are they're already aware.

Using Overdrive Media to down load a book from the library it starts ok but stops near the end of the first part I get no indication on ipod of download

When using Overdrive Media to down load a book from the library it starts ok but stops near the end of the first part. I get no indication on the ipod of the book downloading. Is this a operating error or posable failure of the I pod.?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

File a complaint with them. Verizon will call you to fix the blunder.
But remember it is always up to the customer to insure what they are getting and what it costs. Don't trust the word of a sales person who makes their living on getting that sale. Lies, deceit or false promises will be and have been used by sales people for thousands of years.
Good Luck

How do I stop my itunes from saying my session has timed out when i'm trying to download a song

How do I stop my itunes from saying my session has timed out when i'm trying to download a song

What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

Request timed out when purchasing music. Fresh install of Win7.

For the past couple months I have have not been able to purchase music off iTunes without first going into Add/Remove programs and doing a "Repair" to iTunes. Windows Firewall wasn't blocking anything from Apple and even with the firewall totally disabled I would still get the "Request timed out" error. And at the same time I'm getting these errors, a Podcast can be in the background downloading or I can be previewing a song! I eventually gave up and just figured its some random windows bug that isn't very common or its just another example of iTunes sucking for Windows and Apple not caring. I just purchased most of my music off AmazonMP3 which I've been doing more and more of anyway.
Yesterday I installed a new HDD and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Home Premium from my retail disc. I Installed all the updates then proceeded to install my software and put all my media back in-place. I'm a backup neat-freak so all this happen pretty easily and fast. I purchased a song off iTunes and was pleased to see it working again. Well here I am again suddenly having the issue with the connection timing out when purchasing a song. Firewall is configured fine and again I even disabled it. I know its not Windows now as there haven't been any new Drivers or Updates installed since I last purchased a song. I even tried different network adapters! What the heck is going on?

This error is specific to RAS. The default CORBA request timeout is 10 minute = 600000 ms. When the RAS SDK does not get the reponse back from RAS server in 600000 ms it throws this message. Why it works in InfoView\CMC what I believe you refer to as "Front End' application is because InfoView\ CMC don't use RAS.
1. First make sure that a smaller report wich runs pretty fast ( 1-2 min) works. This will confirm that there is no connectivitiy issues between RAS and RAS SDK.
2. If you get the efrror for every single report, even the smaller ones, make sure the box running RAS and RAS SDK code( in case they are 2 different) can ping each other with IP, shortname and FQDN. If there is a firewall between them, the RAS port needs to be opened for bidirectional communication. By default RAS chooses a random port for communication with SDK but within CMC you can configure it to use a specific port and open it.
3. If the issue is specific only to reports that are long running, typically more than 10 minutes, then you need to inclease the CORBA timeout to a value more than what the reports typically would take to process. This is done on client code side or IIS in this case.
Here are the steps:
Make the following changes on the application server/system.
Open RegEdit by going to Start > Run and typing in regedit.exe. Then click Ok.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Report Application Server\Client SDK\CorbaAdapter
Change the value of SendRequestTimeout(ms) to 100000.
Change the value of WaitReplyTimeout(ms) to 6,000,000 ms. The default value is 600,000 ms and may not be long enough.
Restart IIS by going to Start > Run and typing in iisreset. Then click Ok.
Retry the failing application.

This error should be easy to fix

Tabular data model: Query keeps timing out when attempting to Edit Table Properties

Tabular data model (SSDT)
Problem: I have a table in tabular data model using a SQL Query for a data source. The query in question requires about 3 minutes to regenerate. When I open Edit Table Properties for this data source the query times out and I get an error (see below): "
Failed to retrieve data from udvTrainJobReportsData. Reason: Query timeout expired"
This seems to happen anytime I use a query that takes longer than a couple of minutes to regenerate. Anyone have an idea on how to get around this. Is there a timeout setting somewhere in tabular data model that can be increased?
Thanks...

Hi ManikantM,
According to your description, you query keeps time out when edit table properties. Right?
In this scenario, this error is thrown when connection or query execution exceeds the time out value. Please try to import this table and then increase the connection time out seconds.
We can increase to ExternalCommandTimeout in Analysis Server Properties. Please refer to link below:

ITunes store keeps saying that my session has timed out when trying to buy a product from the store

I Tunes is telling me that my session has timed out when trying to buy a gift voucher, which i have done many times before.
The most recent change i'v made to my computer before this happened was to download an update (MacOSX updatecombo 10.7.3dmg)
a couple of weeks ago. I'v turned off the firewall as suggested whilst trying to transact and turned it back on again, but don't know
what else to try. The problem is three days old as i left and came back to it to see if there might be a glitch in the system.
I'v been able to access the credit i have in the store, but not buy the itunes voucher to email to my own a/c. Please help someone if you can
Sandystone.

Thanks for your suggestion Ned01, I tried this as a last ditch attempt, unfortunatly it made no difference in my case, but i'm pleased it did for you. However, because you reminded me to have another go at this problem, i tried something else (which i'd unsucsessfuly tried before), that is, i deleted the 'CLICK & SAVE " a/c i'd set up recently, and reverted to my previous payment me and would you know it , this time it worked !! I set up a trail purchase and it worked.
It seems to me that other poeple with this problem have to solve it by trail and error, but thank you for your help.Sandystone..

Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

What do you mean exactly? Are you wanting to output the audio to your iPhone while say watching a video on your Apple TV? If so, I'm afraid it's not possible. However, you should post this in the Apple TV forums for a better confirmation on then. There are some prettty knowledgable people who hang out there.

I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do??? If possible, I would also like to keep all of my data.

As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.

When I want to attach a photo to my e-mail I can no longer find my iPhoto library using open - media - photos.

So starting recently (last couple of months) when I want to attach a photo to my e-mail I can no longer find my iPhoto library using open - media - photos. There's nothing there, it's just completely blank, when in the past my whole iPhoto library would show up with thumbnails and I could just choose the pic to attach. Now I have to drag the photos I want from iPhoto onto the desktop and then I can find them there to attach to my e-mail. How can I get my iPhoto library to show back up the simple way when I want to attach photos? I've been having this problem attaching photos in hotmail or yahoo.

It should be an attachment. Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message. A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.

Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though.
