Clicking on a url sometimes rquires two or three clicks, even if I wait in between. in English

Sometimes a url will come up right away, but frequently when I click on a url, nothing happens, after the second click, sometimes it goes to the site, sometimes not. A third click usually gets through, but occasionally I have to wait some significant time (up to 15 minutes!) and sometimes it never gets there.

The folks at NotebookCheck do the kind of benchmarks you reference. You can see their results at:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-W550s​-Workstation-Review.137989.0.html
The tests I ran were just to help me decide which laptop to use since I now have both.
I do use ATTO as well as CrystalDiskMark for disk/SSD read and write testing. Of course both go off the map when you enable RAPID in the Lenovo with the Samsung 850 Pro installed. RAPID does actually speed up work processing...not just wow the I/O test software.
I was getting about 550/450 MB/s read/write with both laptops before I enabled RAPID. With RAPID I get 3345 read and 1833 write with the Lenovo.
Too bad RAPID does not work with all Samsung SSD storage devices.

  • I used to be able to click on an URL in my email program ( Eudora) and it would open up in Firefox..it doesn't do that now, since Firefox upgraded itself

    since there has been a recent upgrade with Firefox, I can no longer click on an URL in my emails to go check the websites

    Do you get an error message from Windows?
    Sometimes the Firefox installer messes up the registry settings for how to handle URLs in other programs. One common way to solve the problem is:
    (1) Start up IE and have IE make itself the default browser
    (2) Go back to Firefox and have Firefox make itself the default browser

  • [SOLVED] Encoded URL's are Re-Encoded When Clicked

    Some of our users here are copying URL's of relevant files [from one of our sites] and pasting them into Excel.
    As the need arises, they refer back to the Excel document and click the link to retrieve the document.
    When clicked the already-encoded URL's:
    https://sub.domain/some/path/to/files/My%20Super%20Long%20File%20Name-Thats%20Already%20Encoded.pdf
    Are getting encoded a second time, which result in a URL like:
    https://sub.domain/some/path/to/files/My%2520Super%2520Long%2520File%2520Name-Thats%2520Already%2520Encoded.pdf
    This naturally won't work because its now literally looking for a file called "My%20Super%20Long%20File%20Name-Thats%20Already%20Encoded.pdf" which of course doesn't exist.
    The URL's in Excel appear normal in the cells themselves.
    The editing the actual hyperlink confirms its also correct there as well.
    The URL's also look normal in the formula bar.
    I've reproduced this behavior on multiple company machines: Windows 7 x64 Enterprise SP1 with Office ProPlus 2010 32-bit.
    I was also able to reproduce this on vanilla Windows 7 VM's in Hyper-V using Office ProPlus 2010 and 2013.  Although domain joined, they're in an OU with blocked inheritance enabled and no linked GPO's.
    I can't figure out where the problem is: Excel, Windows, IIS or something else?

    Hi,
    I’ve done a test for this situation, but the url won’t change after reopening the file.
    1. A pdf file in SharePoint, and the file name contains some spaces which is the same with customers.
    2. Input the SharePoint URL into Excel, and each spaces has been replaced by %20
    3. Then, I can open the file in IE
    4. After I closed the website and excel file, I could open it in IE again and the URL didn’t change.
    As you mentioned in the ticket “Are getting encoded a second time, which result in a URL like”, may I know if the re-encoding was done automatically or manually? Based on the test result, it won’t encode a second automatically.
    If it is done manually, the issue should be most likely caused by the space character being encoded twice, because the space character is encoded as %20 as our two url show. However, based on your second url, it turned into %2520, Since the % character
    is encoded as %25, it should be a result of a double encoded. Actually, URLs need their characters to be in a specific format, ASCII characters, so that browsers can correctly interpret and parse the data. For every ASCII character in URLs, it will be encoded
    a string starting with %, and % is also an ASCII character in URLs and encoded to %25. If we double encode a URL, which results that every ASCII character in the URL will be encoded a string starting with %25, and that the URL becomes invalid. Therefore, I
    suggest you name the file using
    alpha-numeric
    characters
    only or do not encode it twice.
    If it is done automatically, since you have reproduced the issue on multiple machines, could you please help check the following Excel settings in several machines to make comparisons with each other.
    Excel Option>Advanced, Scroll to the General section and click Web Options, select Encoding
    If it possible, would you mind sharing a test file with me to do a test from my end?

  • For the last week or three Firefox refreshes two or three times for each refresh, and sometimes for no obvious reason..

    For the last week or three Firefox refreshes two or three times for each refresh. Sometimes it refreshes for no obvious reason. For instance, I'll be in the middle of typing into a forum's post block & it refreshes. Or filling out an online form. Or simply viewing a page.

    You can check for issues caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • How do I get Firefox to open from a closed state when I click on a URL sent in an email or posted in a chat forum?

    When Firefox is off and I click on a URL link, Firefox does not start up and open at the URL link. When Firefox is on and I click on a link, then Firefox will start (open) another tab for the URL link. Firefox should open the link regardless of it's on/off state. Windows IE does this and I would expect Firefox to also do this.
    Also, related to this is the fact that if I am at a website in Firefox and need to print out a PDF document shown on the website, I can't do this unless I first open/start Adobe. Adobe should automatically start as soon as I try to open the PDF document; again, IE does this.

    Cor-el,
    Thank you for the response. I’ve already selected Adobe Reader in Firefox as the viewer for PDF documents based on the response I got earlier from the-edmeister. Firefox will still not open a PDF document from a website when viewing the website in Firefox.
    As far as changing anything in a dot config file – I’ll pass. I’ve been a Windows IE user for more years than I can remember. I’ve been told by many other folks that Firefox is a better browser platform for several years. Based on that, I assumed that Firefox will do everything that IE will do as good as or better than IE. I’m not opposed to making some application based selections to get Firefox to work, but I was expecting a fully functional plug & play application. Changing settings in dot config files is not my idea of plug & play.
    I printed out the instructions from the link you supplied (https://support.mozilla.org/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them) and will give that a shot later today. In the mean time, I’ve already redone the default browser setting and temporarily set IE as the default browser.

  • Unable to display SSHR Review Page when I click on a URL in a Notification

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to display the Review Page of the Employee Self Service Manage Payroll Payments function in a notification. I have copied the original seeded workflow process and added the notification step. However, when the notification is generated and the link to view the Review page is clicked, we are receiving an error. Why is this? Is this a bug? We have defined the function and workflow attributes correctly.
    The message has an attribute called 'Click here to view bank account details'. That attribute has a value of :
    JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?akRegionCode=PAY_PAYMENTS_REVIEW_SS&akRegionApplicationId=800&OAFunc= XXTEST_PAY_EMP_PAYMENTS&NtfId=-&#NID-&retainAM=Y
    When I click on the URL in the notification the error page says *'ERROR: Cannot Display Page'* and has the following url in the address bar:
    https://erp1.theglobalfund.org/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?akRegionCode=PAY_PAYMENTS_REVIEW_SS&akRegionApplicationId=800&OAFunc=%20XXTEST_PAY_EMP_PAYMENTS&NtfId=244856&retainAM=Y&dbc=DTGFUI&transactionid=801240504&oapc=24&oas=s1HtmV0oSaQRqDRTjyQ3fg..
    Can somebody please advise. I also have a .doc with full details of setup done but cannot see how to attach it to this thread message.
    Thanks,
    Mark.

    No, that was not the answer. Yes I had a space in the URL, but when I removed the space I still get the same error:
    Error: Cannot Display Page
    You cannot complete this task because one of the following events caused a loss of page data:
    Your login session has expired.
    A system failure has occurred.
    This is the URL in the window:
    https://erp1.theglobalfund.org/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?akRegionCode=PAY_PAYMENTS_REVIEW_SS&akRegionApplicationId=800&OAFunc=XXTEST_PAY_EMP_PAYMENTS&NtfId=250834&retainAM=Y&dbc=DTGFUI&transactionid=757523217&oapc=27&oas=0W2JZORcKVD83Md4LxaXsQ..
    NOTE: When I have the attribute value as the following (with no akRegionCode parameter) the Manage Payroll Payments screen opens in a new window...just not the review page of that function :
    JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?&akRegionApplicationId=800&OAFunc=XXTEST_PAY_EMP_PAYMENTS&NtfId=-&#NID-&retainAM=Y
    So it seems to be something to do with displaying that region parameter and value : akRegionCode=PAY_PAYMENTS_REVIEW_SS
    Can somebody please help?
    Thanks.

  • I have totally "uninstalled" what I had and then reinstalled the newest  version of itunes.  Still......  First, when I click on the itunes icon to load it takes the program anywhere  from two to three minutes to load.  None of my other programs take this

    I have totally "uninstalled" what I had and then reinstalled the newest
    version of itunes.  Still......
    First, when I click on the itunes icon to load it takes the program anywhere
    from two to three minutes to load.  None of my other programs take this
    long.
    When in the itunes program I can be moving around in my library and itunes
    when choosing a song or songs, choosing file, edit, etc,. whatever command I
    choose it just suddenly stops.  I can issue five commands and watch each one
    respond in 30 second to two minute intervals.  I can issue several commands,
    even shutting down, and it will do all but takes several minutes to do so.
    My itunes program was working fine when this problem suddenly arose.
    Terry

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Incrementing the URL's ID in JavaScript by clicking a button

    Hello Everyone,
    I want to Incrementing the URL's ID in JavaScript by clicking a button on the Page in a Content Editor Web Part. I already added the button, but it doesn't incrememnt the ID for the URL. Help will be appreciated. Thatnks.
    Mike

    You could use the JavaScript client object model to query the library for the next document set.
    The CAML query would need to return items where the content type inherits from Document Set, and the ID is greater than the current item's ID, sorted in ascending order, with a row limit of 1 so that only the first matching
    item is returned.
    The code would look something like below (replace "Name of your library" with the actual title of your library).
    <input type="button" onclick="GoToNextId()" value="Next" />
    <script>
    function GoToNextId(){
    var currId = GetUrlKeyValue("ID");
    var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext();
    var list = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle("Name of your library");
    var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
    camlQuery.set_viewXml("<View><Query><Where><And><BeginsWith><FieldRef Name='ContentTypeId'/><Value Type='ContentTypeId'>0x0120D520</Value></BeginsWith><Gt><FieldRef Name='ID' /><Value Type='Counter'>"+currId+"</Value></Gt></And></Where><OrderBy><FieldRef Name='ID' /></OrderBy></Query><RowLimit>1</RowLimit></View>");
    var items = list.getItems(camlQuery);
    clientContext.load(items);
    clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this,function(){
    var itemEnumerator = items.getEnumerator();
    var counter = 0;
    while(itemEnumerator.moveNext()){
    var item = itemEnumerator.get_current();
    counter = item.get_item("ID");
    if(counter != 0){
    window.location.href = window.location.pathname + "?ID="+counter
    } else{
    alert("There are no more document sets after the current set.")
    }),Function.createDelegate(this,function(sender,args){alert(args.get_message())}));
    </script>
    Note that 0x0120D520 is the content type ID for document sets. Any content type that inherits from Document Set will have a content type ID that begins with that value.
    You could add similar JavaScript to go to the "previous" document set. You would just need to change the CAML query so that it looks for items with an ID less than the current item instead of greater than, and change the sort order to be descending.
    <View><Query><Where><And><BeginsWith><FieldRef Name='ContentTypeId'/><Value Type='ContentTypeId'>0x0120D520</Value></BeginsWith><Lt><FieldRef Name='ID' /><Value Type='Counter'>"+currId+"</Value></Lt></And></Where><OrderBy><FieldRef Name='ID' Ascending='False'/></OrderBy></Query><RowLimit>1</RowLimit></View>
    I hope that helps!

  • Dreamweaver: double click to select url in code view

    I constantly select and replace a url (paste into) in the code: <a href=""> or <img src>. I'm thinking it would be very helpful to be able to double click to select url while in code view. Does anyone know if i can set that up to behave this way?
    using CS3 on Mac OSX

    I don't know of any way to make that happen.  Sorry.
    It will happen using the Property inspector, however.  Click in a link in Code view, then click on the link field in the Property inspector and the entire link is selected.

  • Trackpad sometimes doesn't recognize physical click

    Recently the trackpad on my 13" MBP has been disregarding random clicks. It always works when I tap it, but not when I push it down to click. Also, since I use the physical click for dragging, I've noticed that sometimes the click gives out randomly. For example, I'll click and drag over a piece of text to select it, and halfway through it will stop selecting, as if I'd un-clicked.
    I think this may be a bug in the new trackpad update that allows for scrolling with inertia. I like the new scrolling, but this is super annoying, and I'd like to switch back if I could. Is there any way to do that?

    I have had the same problem. I think mine was caused by either the upgrade to 10.6.4 or the magic trackpad update. Did you download the magic trackpad update which adds functions to the touch-sensitive trackpad? I have tried all sorts of suggested remedies on the forums, but nothing has worked.
    I know it's a software issue because when I decided to erase my drive and load 10.6.1, the trackpad worked fine. I noticed the problem with the "physical" clicks after loading 10.6.4 and the magic trackpad update.
    I am using the touch-sensitive functions till a solution comes up. It's just annoying because sometimes I'd rather do a physical click. (I get the feeling that Apple is dictating the way of the future for completely touch-sensitive trackpads without the "hard" or physical clicks.)

  • Clicking Lync meeting URL in Chrome does not open Lync

    We have some staff that use Chrome as their default browser.
    In OWA, if they click on a URL to join a Lync meeting, and the Lync 2013 App is installed on their computer, the App does not open.  Instead a Lync Web App opens.
    Is this happening because of a shortcoming in Lync or in Chrome?
    We'd prefer not to set IE as the default browser and not to install the IE Tab chrome plugin - I guess I'd like to understand a bit more about why the full App isn't called?

    There is a chance that this issue is caused by Lync using a deprecated model in the plugin.  Honestly, I don't even understand the second half of the previous sentence, but a similar issue in Chrome for Mac was traced to that root cause.  Quoting
    from a Chromium developer:
    #12 [email protected]
    Okay, thanks; that's what I needed.
    The reason this started with Chrome 22 is that we dropped support for legacy graphics and event models (QuickDraw and Carbon, respectively) that have been deprecated for several years. To remain compatible with Mac Chrome 22+, plugins need to negotiate the new CoreGraphics and Cocoa models. Almost all the popular plugins have updated over the last several years, and I had reached out to the vendors of plugins I was aware to let them know. I hadn't heard of this plugin, so I hadn't contacted them.
    The fix here is for them to release an updated version of their plugin. If their plugin doesn't draw or handle events (and it sounds like it doesn't, but is just a bridge to the app) then adding the negotiation to the plugin is a trivial change in their plugin.
    I don't see any contact info for them, so what would help is for anyone experiencing this to contact Microsoft Lync technical support or any other contact point you have to let them know that their plugin needs to be updated, and point them to this bug for details. Feel free to provide them my email address in case they want to follow up in any way.
    With a view to getting help from the Microsoft Lync team to investigate this, I've opened a call with Office 365 support.  Initially, first line support could not get permission to install Chrome and replicate the bug, and thus wanted to close the call
    as it potentially related to non-microsoft software.  I've asked for the call to be escalated to a more senior tier that would have permission to install Chrome and hopefully someone somewhere is working on it.
    Can I ask that anyone experiencing the same issue please raises a call with Office 365 about this, as a flurry of similar calls at the same time will get someone's attention - as all of us that work on helpdesks know too well!
    Thanks to the 12 people that have starred the issue on the Chrome bug tracker in the last week.
