Content preperation progress

Often opening a document in Acrobat professional I get a dialog box titled: "content preparation progress". Please wait while the document is prepared for reading. This is very annoying and only started about a week ago. What is it? and how can I turn it off?

Hey,
You might need to change the preferences under Edit> Preferences> Reading
Then, under "Screen Reader Options" select "Only read the currently visible pages" and click OK.
Now, exit and open the PDF.
Let me know if this helps.

  • "Content Preparation Progress"

    Since installing Adobe Acrobat X Pro on my new PC, I keep getting a progress bar window that opens with the text "Content Preparation Progress" It takes some time to finish and it quite often crashes. Can I turn this off? I never got the message before and it's a nuisance.

  • Content Preparation Progress (Not Responding)

    Is there a way to stop the "Content Preparation Progress" process from happening? If I cancel out of it quickly, I can open my documents- but 7 times out of ten, if I don't Acrobat hangs up on me and I get a "Not Responding" error.
    What is this process doing, and why? Is it necessary?

    And I agree, this is a very annoying feature which should not be enabled by default.
    Well, the legal obligations associated with the Americans with Disability Act and Section 508 (for the USA) may have something to do with the default setup for Acrobat Reader/Acrobat.
    These legal obligations are rather "mild" compared to what exists in many other nations.
    Some 20% (1 in 5) of Americans have some kind of disability (visual, hearing, motor, or cognitive).
    "Looking" at visual impairment alone –
    CDC data identifies that a significant number of Americans have vision impairment.
    One million individuals 40 years of age or older are blind.
    (best corrected visual acuity of 20/200 or worse or a visual field of less than 20 degrees)
    2.4 million are visually impaired (best corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or worse).
    The number of adults with vision impairment likely will double over the next 30 years.
    One of those individuals may very well be "you" (the reader of this post).
    Having a Preference setting that lets one "toggle off" Accessibility support might be nice.
    However, what is often overlooked is that "Accessibility" is only one of several facilities provided by Tagged PDF.
    Reflow for mobile devices and export of PDF page content with format/layout/font attributes are also facilities of Tagged PDF.
    So, "isolating" the accessibility facility may not be a "simple" thing.
    With that said, anyone can propose a feature request here:
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    What helps is becoming familiar with the OS features for accessibility and what, if any, installed applications use "accessibilty" functionality.
    (i.e., Dragon Speak). Know how to enable/disable these. Less issues with Adobe Reader/Acrobat are the "reward".
    Be well...

  • Content Status Stuck "In Progress"

    I had this error before, and installing the hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2828900/en-us fixed the issue. However, last week the issue returned. At the time, nothing
    had changed. I have since installed CU4, then CU5. These servers are updated monthly, but had not yet updated when this began.
    When viewing the Content Status, the Status is “Waiting for Content.” However, in the Asset Message Summary, the description is “Distribution Manager successfully processed package…”
    OSD task sequences are now not able to complete due to the Configuration Manager Client Package being in the same state (due to the CU5 client update).
    Deployments such as Programs and Updates are completing successfully.
    Interestingly, I was able to distribute NEW content (SP1 CU5 - x64 client update) to a Distribution Point Group (which includes 4 of 13 DP’s). So maybe this issues only applies
    to REDISTRIBUTING content.
    PkgXferMgr.log does not show anything unusual
    Distmgr.log shows a recurring attempt to update a package which was removed and subsequently redistributed for testing purposes, but other entries appear to process normally.

    The content status of a package is stuck in "In progress - Waiting for Content" status in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1

    Thanks Torsten. I've read many of your successful replies over the years, and now you're answering one of my questions! Actually, the first question since I've usually found the answer.
    Yes, I have redistributed the packages that are giving the inaccurate status messages. 
    To get a current log, I redistributed the configmgr client (KS100002). The description now reads "Distribution Manager created snapshot for content Configuration Manager Client Package successfully." However, the Content Status is still "Waiting for
    Content - In Progress."

  • Acrobat 11, IE 9, Content Preparation

    Using Acrobat 11, Internet Explorer 9, on windows 7 64 bit. When opening a PDF on a web page within Explorer get a constant "Content Preparation Progress" dialogue box. Doesn't seem to be the standard check box in Acrobat to view PDF files in browser to uncheck.
    Any ideas?

    Content preparation is generally about preparing the accessibility part of the PDF (check the accessibility preferences for possible changes on that). As far as viewing in the browser, check http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html.

  • Loading an image into an Applet from a JAR file

    Hello everyone, hopefully a simple question for someone to help me with!
    Im trying to load some images into an applet, currently it uses the JApplet.getImage(url) method just before registering with a media tracker, which works but for the sake of efficiency I would prefer the images all to be contained in the jar file as oppossed to being loaded individually from the server.
    Say I have a class in a package eg, 'com.mydomain.myapplet.class.bin' and an images contained in the file structure 'com.mydomain.myapplet.images.img.gif' how do I load it (and waiting for it to be loaded before preceeding?
    I've seen lots of info of the web for this but much of it is very old (pre 2000) and im sure things have changed a little since then.
    Thanks for any help!

  • Upgrading to Tiger Installer problems

    Ok, thanks in advance for giving a glance, and, Happiest of Holidays.
    I did search and still doesn't fit my situation...
    Upgrading to Tiger-retail box from OWC. I use an external partinioned 200g firewire drive as a B/U and bootable OS/software tester before installing on the Pismo. The drive has 10G space available on the bootable OS partion.
    Start the Tiger DVD installer it begins and after installing Base System part 1 and moving to Running Installer Script the process stalls; doesn't crash - just stops: The FW drive stops blinking and the DVD stops spinning....
    OK maybe i overlooked something etc... Have to erase the OS partition; clone 10.3.9 from the pismo to it and start again. This time do all the checks: Run disk utility, Tiger cache cleaner etc... all works well, even boot and work on the drive for a few days. Start the upgrade process again, stalls at the exact same place. I want to run Tiger on the FW drive prior to the Pismo to check it out and i don't relish the thought of having to start from scratch if problems occur installing on the Pismo....
    This time i printed the log file which i include below.
    I called OWC tech dept. - they said i probably don't have enough disk space for the process... the process told me it only required 3.5G. They didn't offer any further knowledge.
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
    Peace

  • Why won't .mp4 file open in QT 10.0 (or iMovie'09) and OS 10.6.8?

    I'm trying to edit some .mp4 movie files, but I can't open them in Quicktime (10.0 or 7.6.6), or iMovie '09 (8.0.6) or Final Cut Express (4.0.1).  I've got a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).  When I try to open the file in QT 10, it says "The document “name.mp4” could not be opened"; whereas in QT 7 it says "The file could not be opened.  An invalid sample description was found in the movie."  In iMovie, the file is greyed out when I try to import it.
    The file will open and play fine in VLC, but I can't do the editing I want there.  The Media Information pane in VLC says: the codec is "H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)(avc1)", it is HD resolution (1920 x 1080), it has a frame rate of 59.940060, and the Decoded format is "Planar 4:2:0 YUV".  It also has an audio track (MPEG audio) and a subtitle track.  I also tried opening these .mp4 files on two Mac laptops that a friend of mine has.  Interestingly, they would not open on one (I think running Lion with QT 10.0), but they DID open on the other newer laptop (running Mountain Lion with QT 10.2). 
    I first assumed it was just a case of not having the right codec.  So I tried copying all the codecs from the Mac laptop that *could* open them, but that didn't work.  Then I searched for and downloaded codecs that I might be missing, such as "avc1Decoder.dmg" from MyCometG3 and http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23875/avc1decoder, and x264Encoder 1.2.27 also from MyCometG3, and I put them in my Library/Quicktime folder and restarted Quicktime, but neither solved the problem.  I also tried opening the .mp4 files in MPEG Streamclip (1.9.2), but it says "File open error: unrecognized file type".  When I tell it to "open anyway" it tries and then says "File open error: can't find video or audio tracks".
    I tried opening one of these .mp4 files in Handbrake (0.9.8) and it was able to open and convert the file to an .mp4 that is then openable in QT 10 with a format of H.264, AAC, and a reduced frame rate of 29.84.  However, this doesn't seem like a good solution because it takes about 2 hours to convert a file with 30 minutes of video.  I just want to be able to trim these big files down to some short video clips that are in an accessible format.
    Any help would be MUCH appreciated.  Am I missing the right codec?  Or, as I'm beginning to wonder, is this format one that is too demanding for OS 10.6.8 and QT 10 and they just cannot handle it no matter what codecs I have on my computer (because of the 60 fps frame rate?  Or is it the subtitle track?).  Or is the solution to upgrade my operating system to Mountain Lion (10.8) and QT 10.2?  My 15" MacBook Pro is about 2 years old with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 and 4 GB of RAM (1067 MHz DDR3).  Thanks.

    Wow! A lot of ifs, ands, and maybes here.
    I'm trying to edit some .mp4 movie files, but I can't open them in Quicktime (10.0 or 7.6.6), or iMovie '09 (8.0.6) or Final Cut Express (4.0.1).  I've got a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).  When I try to open the file in QT 10, it says "The document “name.mp4” could not be opened"; whereas in QT 7 it says "The file could not be opened.  An invalid sample description was found in the movie."  In iMovie, the file is greyed out when I try to import it.
    To start off with, these messages and/or inability to opent/import files could stem from either security updates that see something in the file that it interprets as a possible breach of file integrity or the inclusion of data not expected in the associated file type while missing codecs are either identified and load but do not display or refuse to load but issue a message to that effect and possibly asking if you want to visit a web page containing codes you may want to add.
    The file will open and play fine in VLC, but I can't do the editing I want there.  The Media Information pane in VLC says: the codec is "H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)(avc1)", it is HD resolution (1920 x 1080), it has a frame rate of 59.940060, and the Decoded format is "Planar 4:2:0 YUV".  It also has an audio track (MPEG audio) and a subtitle track.  I also tried opening these .mp4 files on two Mac laptops that a friend of mine has.  Interestingly, they would not open on one (I think running Lion with QT 10.0), but they DID open on the other newer laptop (running Mountain Lion with QT 10.2).
    In the future, could you be more specific when describing the file contents. For the moment, I will assume the video is H.264 (MPEG-4/AVC) and the audio is AAC (MPEG-4) audio and not MPEG-1 layered audio. (I.e., while the former is to be expected with the MP4 file extension, some apps can "stuff" incompatible data into an MP4 container or users can manually change the file extemsion.) It also important to know if the "subtitle" track is embedded within the file or is contained in a separate file. (I.e., a screen capture of the media "info", "inspector", or "properties" window is usually the least ambiguous way to track content information.) It would also be nice to know if the VLC frame rate is for progressive or interlaced video if possible.
    Basically, some apps are very touchy about file extensions and track content. iMovie '08, for instance, will not open a file containing extraneous tracks like 'tween, text, chapter, etc. embedded within the file. I assume this may also be true for "subtitle" tracks as far as your Snow Leopard players are concerned. In any case, if your version of the QT 7 player is keyed for "pro" use, I would perform a simple test here by deleting the "subtitle" track, saving the file, and then re-trying to load, open, play, and/or import the file in the various applications currently giving you problems. If this fixes the problem, then you will know the source and solution of your problem
    I first assumed it was just a case of not having the right codec.  So I tried copying all the codecs from the Mac laptop that *could* open them, but that didn't work.  Then I searched for and downloaded codecs that I might be missing, such as "avc1Decoder.dmg" from MyCometG3 and http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23875/avc1decoder, and x264Encoder 1.2.27 also from MyCometG3, and I put them in my Library/Quicktime folder and restarted Quicktime, but neither solved the problem.  I also tried opening the .mp4 files in MPEG Streamclip (1.9.2), but it says "File open error: unrecognized file type".  When I tell it to "open anyway" it tries and then says "File open error: can't find video or audio tracks".
    The indiscriminant installation of additional codecs often creates more problems than it solves owing to the logrithmic increased potential for the introduction of QT codec component conflicts. The normal "rule of thumb" here is to identify a missing codec and to then install only that specific codec component. Even then, there is a possibility that there may be a conflict but at least it is more easily identified so you can better evaluate which of the conflicting codecs to leave installed and which to swap only when needed/required. As to the use of MPEG Streamclip, it basically uses your system's QT component configuration of access of most codecs as opposed to VLC and HandBrake which contain their own, built-in codec support. So if QT is having a problem, it is often likely that MPEG Streamclip will also have problems.
    I tried opening one of these .mp4 files in Handbrake (0.9.8) and it was able to open and convert the file to an .mp4 that is then openable in QT 10 with a format of H.264, AAC, and a reduced frame rate of 29.84.  However, this doesn't seem like a good solution because it takes about 2 hours to convert a file with 30 minutes of video.  I just want to be able to trim these big files down to some short video clips that are in an accessible format.
    The HandBrake workflow forces a recompressing of the file data which is why it takse so long. That is why I suggested you try deleting any extraneous data tracks found in the source MP4 file container using QT 7 Pro and then use the "Save" or "Save As..." option to re-write the original audio and video data to a new MOV file container which takes much less time.
    Am I missing the right codec?  Or, as I'm beginning to wonder, is this format one that is too demanding for OS 10.6.8 and QT 10 and they just cannot handle it no matter what codecs I have on my computer (because of the 60 fps frame rate?  Or is it the subtitle track?).  Or is the solution to upgrade my operating system to Mountain Lion (10.8) and QT 10.2?  My 15" MacBook Pro is about 2 years old with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 and 4 GB of RAM (1067 MHz DDR3).
    Probably not. The VLC reported data rate may either indicate the MP4 content is AVCHD/BD sourced or it is reading interlaced content as progressive which I have noted it can do on occasion when I compare the media info as read by various different apps and/or utilities. Since you indicate the file opens in Mountain Lion, my guess would be that your MP4 content is actually AVCHD/BD sourced since such support was only recently added to Mac OS X v10.8 software. As to moving up to Mountain Lion, as always, that is something you would have to evaluate for yourself. For instance, do you require PNG compression for video content? By default you would lose it under Mountain Lion and have to re-enable it manually if needed. Are there other pros and cons that you need to consider before upgrading to Mountain Lion? These are the types of questions and compatibility issues that only you can answer for yourself.

  • Need help with XML text

    I'm trying to load in XML text. I'm looking for an efficient
    method of doing so.
    Ideally, I'd like the text to fade in and out with the image.
    Maybe adding a subtle animation/movement to the text box would be
    nice. Perhaps a MC that plays intervals of movement with a dynamic

  • How to effectively remove a loaded SWF from the stage?

    I can not figure out a proper coding to remove a loded SWF from the stage.
    Here is my set up.
    I have a layout segmented into labeled section. In the section labeled "products" I have a layout consisting of product images acting as buttons which bring a user to another labeled section "prdctsPopUps"
    In the "prdctsPopUps" section I have placed an instance of LoaderMax placed into an mc container. Placing LoaderMax into an mc container automatically resolved an issue of clearing loaded SWFs from stage when I come back to "products" section.
    I specified the variable in the "products" section with the following set up:
    var sourceVar_ProductsPopUps:String;
    function onClickSumix1PopUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
                        sourceVar_ProductsPopUps="prdcts_popups/sumix1-popup_tl.swf";
                        gotoAndPlay("prdctsPopUps");
    So each button has its own "....swf" URL and they all open fine and I can come back to "products" section without any issues.
    However inside the swf (which loads through LoaderMax which is placed into an mc) there are other buttons which bring a user to labeled section "xyz". Which also functions properly. It opens as it is supposed to be and without any previously loaded "...swf" on the stage.
    At the labeled section "xyz" there is a limited set of buttons repeating from section "products" which has to bring a user back to the same set up in the "prdctsPopUps" labeled section and open a corresponding "...swf" .
    However only the last opened "...swf" will appear in that section. Effectively the one which was originally opened from the "prdctsPopUps" section and not the one which was supposed to be opened from the "xyz" section.
    I can not understand why it would work from one labeled section and not from another. I can not figure out on which section which code/function needed to be placed.
    Here is the set up from a button from the "xyz" section whcih supposed to bring a user to the same "prdctsPopUps" section but to load a different "...swf"
    var sourceVar_ProductsPopUps_fromXYZ:String;
    function onClick_floralytePopUp_fromXYZ(event:MouseEvent) :void {
                        sourceVar_ProductsPopUps_fromXYZ="prdcts_popups/floralyte-popup_tl.swf";
                        gotoAndPlay("prdctsPopUps");
    Here is the code set up for the LoaderMax from the "prdctsPopUps" section:
    var loaderProductPopUps:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader(sourceVar_ProductsPopUps,
                                                                                                        estimatedBytes:5000,
                                                                                                        container:holderMovieClip,
                                                                                                        onProgress:progressHandler,
                                                                                                        onComplete:completeHandler,
                                                                                                        centerRegistration:true,
                                                                                                        alpha:1,
                                                                                                        scaleMode:"none",
                                                                                                        width:540,
                                                                                                        height:730,
                                                                                                        crop:true,
                                                                                                        autoPlay:false
    function progressHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void{
              progressBarPopUp_mc.gradientbarPopUp_mc.scaleX = loaderProductPopUps.progress;
    function completeHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void{
              var loadedImage:ContentDisplay = event.target.content;
              TweenMax.to(progressBarPopUp_mc, 1.5, {alpha:0, scaleX:0.25, scaleY:0.25});
    loaderProductPopUps.load();
    Is there something which needs to be imported, or specific function needs to be specified in a specific labeled section?

    actually, i think you'll need to use something like:
    var loaderProductPopUps:SWFLoader;
    if ((loaderProductPopUps){
    if(loaderProductPopUps.content)){
       loaderProductPopUps.unload();
    loaderProductPopUps= new SWFLoader(sourceVar_ProductsPopUps, //the value of sourceVar_ProductsPopUps allows to load mulitple SWFs from the products page.
                                                                                                         estimatedBytes:5000 ,
                                                                                                         container:holderMov ieClip,// more convinient and easier to manage if to place the LoaderMax into an empty mc (holderMovieClip)
                                                                                                                                                                         // if not will work as well. Then the line container:holderMovieClip, has to be replaced with container:this,
                                                                                                                                                                         // can be any size, can not be scaled as it distorts the content
                                                                                                         onProgress:progress Handler,
                                                                                                         onComplete:complete Handler,
                                                                                                         centerRegistration: true,
                                                                                                         //x:-260, y:-320, //no need for this is if used: centerRegistration:true,
                                                                                                         alpha:1,
                                                                                                         scaleMode:"none",
                                                                                                         //scaleX:0, scaleY:0,
                                                                                                         //vAlign:"top",
                                                                                                         width:540,
                                                                                                         height:730,//scales proportionally but I need to cut off the edges
                                                                                                         crop:true,
                                                                                                         autoPlay:false
    function progressHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void{
              progressBarPopUp_mc.gradientbarPopUp_mc.scaleX = loaderProductPopUps.progress;
    function completeHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void{
              var loadedImage:ContentDisplay = event.target.content;
              //TweenMax.to(loadedImage, 1.5, {alpha:1, scaleX:1, scaleY:1});//only need this line if corresponding values are changed in SWF loader constructor
              TweenMax.to(progressBarPopUp_mc, 1.5, {alpha:0, scaleX:0.25, scaleY:0.25});
    loaderProductPopUps.load();

  • Deinterlacing BMD DNxHD footage

    I am currently running 1080i footage through a BlackMagic ATEM Television Studio, and taking 1080i output into a BlackMagic HyperDeck Shuttle 2 via SDI, which is set to record to a Quicktime DNxHD format.
    Unfortunately, if I edit this footage in Premiere Pro CS6 (using the mac version FWIW), I can not for the life of me get it to deinterlace.
    I've tried setting the Field Options on each clip to "Always Deinterlace."  I've tried exporting to explicitly progressive settings.  I've checked the "Render at Maximum Quality" box when rendering.
    If I run the raw footage directly through Handbrake and set to Deinterlace there, it comes out right.  If I run the final Premiere Pro footage through Handbrake and set to Deinterlace, it comes out right.  I just want to know why all of the settings in Premiere Pro designed to convert interlaced content to progressive content are failing to do their job.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks for your help.

    Step 1:
    Export video to YouTube 1080p settings (or manual H.264 settings with 1080p output).
    Step 2:
    View video.  Observe interlacing lines everywhere.
    Step 3:
    Turn on deinterlace filter in VLC.  Interlacing lines disappear.
    This would be one example of the non-deinterlaced output, which is pretty evident the minute you turn on 1080 streaming:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaWVvv40kaw
    I suppose it's possible the Premiere is doing some deinterlacing, but doing a phenomenally poor job of it.

  • Video feels a bit soft

    Hi,
    Let me first walk you through my workflow.
    I made five compositions, each of which contains 2-3 compositions (which then have more comps nested inside). The main five comps are standard dvd resolution 872x486 (gotten straight from one of the preset options for comp sizes).
    The nested comps are all at high def, 1920x1080.
    So I rendered my five main comps (the 872x486) to uncompressed AVI, then ran those through Adobe Media Encoder at MPEG2-DVD VBR 2 passes. I've attached a screen cap of my settings
    When I use Encore to author my dvd, and then view it on a dvd player, all of my fonts look a bit soft. Maybe it's my imagination, and that is the best it gets, but to me I feel like they could be a bit sharper.
    Is this a product of my workflow? Or is that normal?

    TimeRemap, I used the preset that did NOT have "progressive" in the title, so I believe I am using interlaced. Should I try progressive?
    If your source content is progressive, then I'd recommend staying progressive. Rendering interlaced material from progressive source will result in two identical fields anway (unless you introducted additional animation). Interlaced material can look a bit sharper depending on the content, but usually that will apply to things in motion more than static imagery.
    Here's a good link to more information about interlacing.
    Of course, the first place you should look (the online help) has a great description and some very helpful links at the bottom of the page (including the one linked above).

  • Master Style page changing/deleting images

    Hi all -
    This has been a reoccurring problem for quite some time. I have several master style pages in my project; each one is laid out the same with my company's logo and a module name in a header, then a copyright in the footer. While working, I'll get a prompt that says the master style has changed and needs to be reapplied to all the connected pages. This would be self-explanatory if I were editing the headers/footers while working -- But I'm not. Only the page content.
    It's always my company's logo that disappears from the header when this happens. This is the prompt I get:
    This happens no matter what master style the page I'm working on might have.
    (It just happened now and I didn't change anything in the headers or footers.)
    Please help.
    Thanks!
    Erin

    Indeed, there is a table in the Master page header, and the graphic goes in that table.
    However, the edit to the TD tag was in a topic to which the Master was applied, not to the Master itself. IIRC, when editing a topic, you cannot edit the master page that is associated with it.
    <i>Are you by chance also using the Resource Manager to manipulate or coordinate the company logo? One thought was that if you are, perhaps something about the checking/updating process with the Resource Manager is causing an issue.</i>
    I'm not using the Resource Manager. The image is fully cropped and edited in PNG format before I place it, using the little picture icon. It then shows up in the Project Manager.
    <i>But if you see a hummingbird signature on the radar along with a cold front producing a storm, you will always pay more attention to the storm than the hummingbird, no?</i>
    I'd be so fascinated with the hummingbird I'd stay out in the rain to watch it. But that's just me.
    Glossary text can be formatted in the Style Pod. Is that not the requirement?
    I cannot bold or italicize glossary entries at a character level.

  • Trying to deploy SCCM Client upgrade...

    A few days ago I upgraded our SCCM 2007 R2 Site Server with SP2.  I did this in preparation for Windows 7 support and deployment.  Anyhow, I decided to release the client upgrade via software distribution using the same package that I include with my image deployment (data source is \\server\sms_001\client )
    Yesterday, I created an advertisement to distribute the SCCM client upgrade to my entire network but today System Center Console is reporting that out of 1148, 996 have not yet started, 0 succeeded, and 149 have failed.  We're a school so most of our computers are off.  The issue is that of the computers that are on 149 have failed with 0 reporting a success....or so they say.
    I checked a few of my clients and the ccmsetup.log indicates that installation has in fact succeeded.  However, what the "status of a specific advertisement" report is telling me is that the client failed with the "last status message name" column indicating "Program Failed (unexpected restart)".  It shows the same thing for all clients that have reported a failure.
    The software package program function is configured to run the following and I'm not using any client options:  "CCMSETUP.EXE /noservice SMSSITECODE=AUTO"
    Any ideas why the client appears to have been upgraded but reporting a failure?

    This KB article covers the upgrade of the client via hotfixes:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2477182
    An important thing to note is that the Program needs the following set:
    After Running: Program Restarts Computer; this is needed to ensure that any status MIF files are collected after a restart of the client service (ccmexec.exe).  No actual restart of the computer should occur.
    This enables the SCCM client to detect that it re-started and to process the MIF files for status messages.
    Installing the following updates one at a time normally is sucessful:
    KB2761938
    KB2516517
    KB2815223
    Other updates such as KB2276865 fail with the Unexpected Reboot Event error (possibly because the MIF is not written correctly) but it has been superseeded by KB2815223 wich is OK.

  • Not enough memory in my Palm Z22

    I use my Palm Z22 primarily for my ePocrates drug prescription system at work. I have added only 1 other program to it, a Bible. To keep updated on drug changes I am supposed to sync about every 2 mos, I have never had problems until today when my Z22 informed me there was a memory shortage and could not save data, could not finish synching. I took off some of the games and things I don't use but show only 8.6 M out of 24.6 M of memory left. There are several categories I don't understand listed in my list of programs they begin AS_0_KT-Content and progress down in order with the 0 being replace by a 1, 2 etc to 9 the last category in this section is AS_Knowledge-Content. I am pretty illiterate when it comes to things like this so I would appreciate some help. Thanks deb

    Try a Soft Reset (press the tiny Reset button on the back of the device) then update ePocrates again.
