"Creativity_E": LR/PS integration problem solved!

After waiting for more than an hour on hold for Adobe tech support, I gave up and managed to resolve the problem myself. Since I found several other reports of the same problem online with no solution, I decided to share mine:
SYMPTOM:
Lightroom 2 fails to discover Photoshop CS3, or integrate with it, even though CS3 10.0.1 patch is applied.
Instead, Lightroom "Photo/Edit In" (Ctrl-E) links to "Creativity_E Application" - a program which does not exist.
(Note: My experience was with LR2 and Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP SP2.)
CAUSE:
Epson "Smart Panel" (which ships with Epson scanners) contains an applet "Scan to Photoshop" which confuses Lightroom 2 and causes this erroroneous behaviour (probably a misleading registry entry).
THE FIX:
A scan of the registry revealed the culprit, but simply deleting the obvious registry entry (the one containing the text string "Creativity_E") did not solve the problem. Since I use other functionality in Smart Panel (mainly the photocopy utility and Scan to OCR) I wanted to keep the panel but just lose the problem component. (The Scan-to-Photoshop applet is unneeded since File/Import/Twain does the job perfectly well within Photoshop.)
The problem is that Smart Panel is by default an all-or-nothing install/de-install. Here's how to remove just the problem applet:
1) Deinstall Smart Panel completely, using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel
2) Copy the contents of the "installers" directory from the Epson installation CD to a directory on your hard drive.
3) In your copy, edit the file .../SPANEL/AMERICAN/APPINST.INI using the text editor of your choice.
4) Remove the section headed "[item 7] Photoshop" and then adjust the "count" and fix the item numbering so that the items are numbered sequentially, with no gaps, and the last one matches the count. If there are other applets you do not need, these can be removed in the same way. (In my case, I kept COPY and OCR only. Reducing my "count" to just 2)
5) Save the file.
6) Run the Smart Panel installation from your local copy: .../SPANEL/AMERICAN/SETUP.EXE
7) VOILA! Smart Panel works and does only what you need it to do -- and Lightroom is properly integrated with Photoshop.
THERE IS NO NEED TO REINSTALL LIGHTROOM 2 - LR2 creates the link to Photoshop dynamically.
Hope this helps someone else!

Malebron, thanks very much for your well detailed solution to this problem ...
you probably saved me a few hours of trouble!!

Lync 2013\Exchange 2010 OWA Integration Problem

Hi there,
I've got a vexing issue that I haven't had much luck in researching. I am running Lync 2013 on Server 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010 SP3 on Server 2008 R2. I followed Jeff Schertz's instructions (http://blog.schertz.name/2010/11/lync-and-exchange-im-integration/)
and Lync\OWA integration is working--sort of.
We currently have a central pool (we'll call it lyncpool.contoso.com) and three pools housed on SBAs-- lyncsba-loc1, lyncsba-loc2,lyncsba-loc3. Users in our main location are housed on the central pool, whereas users in our remote locations are housed
on their respective SBA.
Following the instructions, I pointed my OWA virtual directories at lyncpool.contoso.com, and everything seemed fine at first. I could see presence in OWA, initiate an instant message...the works. However, when I asked a user homed on one of the SBAs,
he said that he could only see presence for other users in his pool\location. Everyone else had a white "unknown" presence chiclet. To verify, I temporarily moved my lync account to that branch pool, and sure enough--I saw the same thing. As
a troubleshooting measure, I re-ran the OWA configuration portion and instead of using the central pool as the instantmessagingserver value, I pointed it directly at that branch pool. At that point, he and I, being homed in that branch pool, could see
presence for EVERYONE. Problem solved, right? Well, no...because now, the central pool users could only see presence for other central pool users, and the other branches could still only see presence for their poolmates.
I've run Wireshark, CLS logging, you name it--I haven't seen anything fishy, and I'm starting to wonder if this perhaps a bug or an unsupported use-case(I hope not, since Microsoft otherwise endorses such a configuration). I've been beating my head
against this wall for almost two weeks with no change...someone, help! :)

This is the only thing that seems of interest in the CLS Log:
TL_WARN(TF_DIAG) [lyncpool01\VGTLYNCFE-01]1B70.4184::06/17/2014-20:47:03.028.00001F75 (SIPStack,SIPAdminLog::WriteDiagnosticEvent:SIPAdminLog.cpp(805))

The "source" here is our OWA server. I have issued a certificate from our local CA(the same one that issued the Lync certs), making sure the CN of the certificate matches the OWA url. Any ideas?

How to problem solve adf issue in the mx340 model

how to problem solve adf issue in the mx340 model

Alex,
the missing thing in your example is the fact, that if only one value is selected, the parameter has exact this value like BOSTON. If you choose more than one value, the parameter includes the *'*, so that it looks like *'BOSTON','NEW YORK'*. So you need to check in the package, if there's a *,* in the parameter or not. If yes there's more than one value, if not it's only one value or it's null.
So change your package to (you need to expand your variables)
create or replace package bip_departments_2_parameters
as
p_dep_2_param varchar2(1000);
p_loc_1_param varchar2(1000);
p_where_clause varchar2(1000);
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean;
end bip_departments_2_parameters;
create or replace package body bip_departments_2_parameters
as
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean
is
l_return boolean := true;
begin
p_where_clause := ' ';
if p_dep_2_param is not null then
if instr(p_dep_2_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME in ('||p_dep_2_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME = '''||p_dep_2_param||'''';
end if;
if p_loc_1_param is not null then
if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC IN ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
end if;
end if;
else
if p_loc_1_param is not null then
if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || 'WHERE LOC in ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || 'WHERE LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
end if;
end if;
end if;
return (l_return);

WiFi connection problem solved

My intel iMac and MBA had no problem but iPods 3g and 5g did. I had an old Netgear router connected and sitting next to my Airport Express. On a hunch I diconnected the Netgear and created a guest network to replace the one on the Netgear. PROBLEM SOLVED!
Evidently our iPods and boarder's iPhone had problems sorting out the signals and finding the right addresses. Moving the AE to a higher and slightly more central position also helped.
Jim

Same here on a Vodafone PocketWiFi 2.
Tried NetworkManager, wicd, wifi-menu but all have the same issue.
I recently installed Aptosid on another machine and it has the same problem... It also has kernel version 3.9.
All the live CDs I've tried work, even an Arch CD from May works, though a current install does not.
I have no problems connecting to another (wpa2 enterprise) network yet can't on this 3G modem.
I'm hoping this isn't a permanent issue and perhaps an update very soon will fix this.
It seems the only way to fix this for now is to use an old version of Linux. I'm currently running a virtual machine only for the purpose of Internet sharing, very annoying.

Bug fix for Mac book wireless - problem solved!

Aparantly there is a rather large number of folks out there who've discovered this dillema with wireless not working very well at this point on the Macbook.
Well, I can attest there is one very good solution out there for this issue. This application called Sonar Theater from www.sunray.tv includes a bug fix for the wireless connection issues with Macbook in their latest 1.5 release of Sonar Theater.
I downloaded it, put it into my start up folder and waalaa! problem solved. I've haven't any more issues with dropped wireless since - it's been running constantly for over 2 weeks now.
I haven't even attempted to touch my router configuration - don't need to.

Welcome to the better life of Macs. I am using Sonar Theater too and it's been working very well for me. In fact, I'm getting hooked on just texting a message to my Mac book to fire up user sessions now. I think if you give the Mac Book some time however, you'll find that there really is no comparison to PC's. Your life overall is going to just keep getting better as you dig in to the resources available to new Mac users.
I'm sure it seems confusing to PC users at first, but here's how to set up any application as part of your startup sequence. It really is extremely easy and simple compared to the PC world. Oh and by the way, in reality, Mac users refer to this as your login sequence. So, at login time, you can do a multitude of different things for each user account you might want to set up. Naturally, you can choose to share or not share applications and data between these user accounts on your Mac too....
Mac OS X 10.3 or later
1. Log in as the user who wishes to have a login item or as an admin user.
2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
3. Choose Accounts from the View menu.
4. Click the name of the user.
5. Click the Startup Items button
6. Click the "Add {+}" button.
The item you selected will automatically open the next time you log in.
there are several ways to get good info from the apple community on tips and tricks as well. you should just try the apple os x web site...here,

happy mac-ing!

Mediawiki, mysql, php? problems [SOLVED]

On Sunday my Arch install that is hosted by Slicehost became unresponsive to them so they had to do an emergency reboot. After it came back up my install of mediawiki was (and still is) only returning a blank page (at least in Firefox). After some digging I found out that part of the problem was that mysqld wasn't starting so I managed to get that fixed by commenting out the lines relating to innodb and putting in skip-innodb into my.cnf. But I'm still getting a blank page.
According to Mediawiki's manual, "A blank white page indicates a PHP error which isn't being printed to the screen." They give two lines to put into LocalSettings.php to force error messages but after doing that I'm still getting a blank page. Changing display_errors in php.ini to ON didn't have any effect. When I load the wiki in Safari I get the following error: "Got java.io.EOFException (Server closed connection while sending the HTTP header.): http://some_url.com/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page". I have no idea what this error means and googling java.io.EOFException doesn't bring up anything very helpful. My PHP Test Page indicates that PHP is up and running.
Any ideas on fixes or where I can find more clues?
[EDIT]
Mysql was definitely the root of the problems with Mediawiki. I tried nearly every suggestion listed in the forums for fixing a mysql install that wouldn't start but nothing worked. I even completely uninstalled mysql and reinstalled it but it still refused to start. I switched over to postgresql and switched mediawiki to run with that. Problem solved.

There are some other things that must be done to connect to
the database
(such as passing the usernamee, password, and host info to
mysql_connect()
and storing the connection resource), and those might be in
the include
files. I generally place all of the connection parameters in
a separate file
that is located in a folder that can't be accessed by a
browser, for
security purposes.

Acrobat printing problems (solved)

Hi Folk
I'm getting on well with Arch apart from one problem, I can not print from Acrobat reader, it accepts the command and does precisely nothing, the jobs are appearing in cups but not being printed, I can print from Open Office and test print from cups but no cooperation with acrobat, anyone have any ideas? thanks
Pete
Last edited by pete051 (2009-09-29 19:14:12)

I don't know what DE are you using. In my case, I use xfce and when acroread starts with his stupidity I just change the print command to 'xfprint'. That forces acroread to redirect the print job to xfce's printing frontend, and problem solved.
Now, if you're using kde, I guess there is something named 'kdeprint', 'kprint' or similar. For gnome, I've no idea.
I hope this helps.
p.s. Sometimes, cups takes his time to print. When its taking too long I purge cups' temp files and restart the daemon.

Stuck with grub problem (SOLVED)

Today i tried to upgrade my Arch Linux, it downloaded everything that should be downloaded, it was installing upgrades but at the installing grub it stucks as like this
"Copying /boot/grub/grub.cfg.pacsave to /boot/grub/grub.cfg"
I've waited it for about 15 minutes, it didn't move on. So i did ctrl+z to break. Then i tried to update again. But it gives an error which is:

Error occured, no packages were upgraded.
Please help me guys!

Problem solved by moving 2to3 to other directory.

Dr.Watson problems solved.

DR.WATSON PROBLEMS SOLVED:
System:
WLS 5.1 with SP11 running on NT4 Using OCI817_8.
Oracle 7.3.4 running on NT4.
Problems:
Dr.Watson exceptions in native code...
# An EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION exception has been detected in native code outside
the VM.
# Program counter=0x60239689
When asking BEA and Oracle:
"Use the latest OCI available. It is backward compatible !"
What have been done to solve the problem:
Going through all SQL code (and doing some rewriting), configuring connection
pools (TestOnReserve / TestOnRelease, refresh, etc) and several other configurations...
At last, we tried to change to the OCI version matching the Oracla versions we
were connecting to (from OCI817_8 to OCI734_7).
Voila ! NO MORE DR.WATSON EXCEPTIONS !
Our conclusion:
If possible, use the OCI version that matches the Oracle version you are running
on.

Hi Abhijit
Couple of pointers which could resolve the issue:
1. Since you are using the JDBC-ODBC bridge what occurs internally is that your JDBC API through the Virtual Machine make calls into the ODBC API on your Windows system. So the Watson error that you are getting is probably an illegal access by one of the methods in the ODBC API - this is for the Diagnosis part.
2. The Solution part -
a. Should I change my JDBC-ODBC driver? Not necessarily because the problems could be with the ODBC interface implementation and changing the driver might not help.
b. Should I change my programming style? This is one thing which could really help. The problem with creating connections each time is that it takes a lot of resources to do it, So there is a performance degradation. What you could do inyour code is use a Java Bean to create the required Connection. You can also think of using a prepared statement appropriately encapsulate it since you are invoking a particular query repeatedly. In your JSP page you can retrive(create) this bean through the jsp:useBean tag with the session as the scope attribute. The <jsp:setProperty methods could also be used to set the DSN name and the driver.
Once this bean is successfully created you have an open connection.
Now for the part you have pasted - replace the create connections with getting a new Statement object which would hold your Query. At the end of the JSP just close the Statement object.
Once you are done updating the page you may transfer the control to a different JSP - Let that transfer trigger the connection close in the Java bean.
This should solve the Dr.Watson problem.
Good Luck!

Am I able to find my iTunes serial number? I need it for the problem solving as my problem is solely bad on my iTunes.

For the Apple problem solving section I need a serial number, my issue is that my problem regards missing contents within my iTunes. Do I have an iTunes serial number? And if so, where can I locate it? If there is not a serial number for iTunes, advice on what to do next is much appreciated.

iTunes has no serial number. If you are trying to get to Apple phone support, that is linked to the purchase of Apple hardware, so you need to enter in the serial number of an Apple device. Otherwise, for assistance with problems with iTunes itself you would need to call Apple Support and they would almost certainly charge for the call. I would instead suggest you post the issue you're trying to address here in detail. Someone here can probably offer suggestions.
If your issue is with the iTunes Store, not the iTunes application, go here:

and follow the instructions to report your issue to the iTunes Store.

HOTSYNC PROBLEM SOLVED -between Palm TX using desktop version 6.2 & Windows 7 64 bit

I to struggled with performing hotsynch between my Palm TX and my new Windows 7 64 bit computer. After 2.5 hours of palm tech support on my pc they gave up and deemed the task not solvable. I spent hours trying various options-nothing worked until this.
I performed a google search for Toshiba bluetooth x64 drivers. This took me to the following link:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/?page=download
I downloaded PC Bluetooth Stack version 7.00.10 for Windows 7 x 64. After downloading this suddenly the palm syncing software on my pc gave me the option to connect via bluetooth and I was on my way. My bluetooth dongle (cirago BTA-3210) was not a toshiba, but did use the toshiba driver stack. The driver that came with the bluetooth was not up to date- even though it was just purchased at newegg. The driver update that my pc found was also not 64 bit compatible. The only fix was to download the driver from Europe- hooray!!!!! PROBLEM SOLVED
