Erase Flash before copying?

Hi
If I get a new router, and try to copy a file from tftp to flash, it copies the file without disturbing what's there.
If I erase the flash, from that point it always prompts me to erase the flash before copying and I have to explicity press N or ESC to prevent it being wiped.
What changes this behaviour? Can I do something after the flash is erased the first time to stop this prompt appearing??
Anyone?
Thanks
Aaron

I had this same problem and always thought it was just me. This is all I can find which really doesn't help that much but gives a little insite on how it works:
!--- On Class B Flash file systems, the router gives you the option of erasing
!--- the existing contents of Flash memory before writing to it. If no free Flash
!--- memory is available, or if no files have ever been written to Flash memory,
!--- the erase routine is required before new files can be copied. If there is
!--- enough free Flash memory, the router gives you the option of erasing the
!--- existing Flash memory before writing to it. The system will inform you
!--- of these conditions and prompt you for a response.
!--- If you enter 'n' after the "Erase flash before writing?" prompt, the copy
!--- process continues. If you enter 'y' and confirm the erasure, the erase
!--- routine begins. Be sure to have ample Flash memory space before entering "n"
!--- at the erasure prompt.
I would also look into the 'squeeze' command. When i have an extra router my way i'll test it out.

Help!!! - Erase Flash error! 3750 Catalyst Switch

Hi,
In my error I ran a 'erase flash' and deleted the entire flash rather than a file within the flash. Now the switch boots into a 'switch:' mode with limited options. Is there a way of copying across a flash. Xmodem doesnt seem an option?
Thanks

I have an 8 year old eMac G3. It will not start up. I need to erase it before putting it in recycling. Apple refuses to open the case and warns me that I will be shocked if I even try. They say no way to erase hard drive. They say use a hammer. Any ideas?

Hi, no eMacs had G3s, only G4s. Is it maybe an iMac G3?

Flash in iWeb- a white square flashes before video loads......

hey there- i am trying to put flash into iweb. It works, using code from iWebunlimited, but there is a white box that flashes before the video loads... I've tried so many different encoders, iweb code, etc..
see it here:
http://web.me.com/misterscott
Any idea as to what is causing the white flash before the video?
thanks so much......!!

You succeeded as far as I could determine.
Anyway. The browser needs to download the files, puts them into place and render the lot.
That takes some time.
Also, every brand of browser has its way of doing that.
And black and white on a page is the largest contrast you can imagine. Use less contrasting colors.

Flashes Before My Eyes!

I downloaded Captivate 4.0 trial and have since purchased and
installed the "real program".
I imported a .ppt for my slides.
I converted .mpg files to .flv with Flash video encoder and
inserted in various slides.
I created a quiz at the end of the presentation in Captivate.
The Captivate file size is 2.8M
Other than making a few cosmetic adjustments, I published to
Flash. Everything worked great. Now, all of a sudden when I try to
publish...even just review...the slides literally flash before my
eyes.
I have 42 slides, 21 of which are a combination of text and
video, the remaining are dedicated to a quiz. I've tried deleting
earlier versions, deleted my browser history, deleted temporary
files...everything I could think of that could possibly be causing
this "slide flashing" at random. Nothing is working. Has anyone run
into this problem before? Don't know if it's something with the
software or my hardware.

The movie fast fowards to the end. But it's not like I can
see each individual slide and it just moves faster than I can read.
The navigation "skin" used to be at the bottom of the slide
and I could either click on the "next" arrow or just move the
"slider" to get to the next slide. Now the navigation is somewhere
at the top, the "next" arrow is in the middle of the page with no
control attached to it and the slides just "flash" until I exit
out.
I am going to attempt to start all over again...maybe there's
a setting I missed...maybe I shouldn't include the quiz at the end
of the presentation, but rather make it a separate file and direct
the last slide to go to that file...don't know at this point.
From what I can remember, when I used the default buttons
within the quiz ("submit" or "back") everything worked fine. When I
went in and changed the defaults to an image button for those same
commands, it went screwey!

What does the sync choice "erase data before syncing" do?

I want to synce a Sony Ericsson cell with my ical via isync. One of the choices before syncing asks whether I want to erase info on the cell before syncing or merge the info on the cell with the mac. I only want to sync the calendar data and not the contacts. I unchecked sync contacts. My question is will choosing erase info before syncing also erase the contact info in the cell phone or will it only erase the calendar data? Thanks for the help!

Hello, I have a Sony Eric W580i phone and was having problems synching using iSync. I went to the Sony Eric site and found support/download that solved my problem. Here is the link: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/sonyericssoni sync/w580i?cc=gb&lc=en
I hope this helps.

Nothing wrong with leaving CS5 installed and having both available to you.
You can still run CS5 if you have Cloud versions installed.
Bottom-line: it's up to you.

GPO to uninstall Flash before installing 10.1.53.64

When pushing out a software installation for the new install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi, it leaves previous versions installed even though Adobe's Flash test site says that the latest version is installed and in use. However, I'm sure that it is probably "best practice" to push out a script to uninstall all previous versions of Flash [i.e. uninstall_flash_player.exe -uninstall] before installing the latest version (10.1.53.64).
Is anyone using a GPO to push out a script to uninstall the previous versions of Flash before running the .MSI or .EXE to install the latest version (10.1.53.64)?We have several Flash versions out there, so attempting to Upgrade from an old GPO package AD isn't thorough enough.
I've tried running the uninstall_flash_player.exe -uninstall file (as a .VBS) with a precedence of 1 before the software installation GPO (as startup scripts), but it produces mixed results, so I'm not sure that this is the best method.
So, two questions here:
1) Does anyone forsee any real issue leaving previous versions installed (i.e. not uninstalling before installing new)?
2) Otherwise, how is everyone handling uninstalling and reinstalling via GPO? Better suggestions on how to and in what order to push out the uninstall and install processes?
Thanks much for your suggestions!

I am not using GPO, but to the best of my knowledge, the installer should automatically uninstall all previous FP versions. See the install.log file (if that is produced using GPO).
However, sometimes the installer is unable to remove all components of old FP versions, e.g. if the users have web browsers running during the installation. This may get fixed during the next reboot, but often it is not.

Change the above line by the following line. It will rename as well as copy.
HOST ('xcopy "'|| filename ||'" \\172.172.0.4\Combo_pic\'||:EMP_CODE||'.jpg',no_screen); ---here EMP_CODE is a column value.Above code will rename to emp_code value.
Hope this works...

TS4006 is there a way to undo the "Erase" command before the deletion starts?

is there a way to undo the "Erase" command before the deletion starts while the phone is turned off. In my case the erase is pending the phone being turned on. Now that I have found the phone, I don't want the deletion to happen. How can I undo the command before turning on the iPhone?

There's no way to block the remote wipe. But once it's been wiped, you can perform a restore from your backup on either icloud or itunes.

No, the Adobe installer will simply over-write the earlier version.

Just got a new iPhone 6, selling my 5 to Amazon. Trying to follow Apple instructions to erase content before sending but 5 will not connect to iCloud so I can't proceed - when promoted to enter password I keep getting "Verification failed. There was an error connecting to iCloud". I have checked apple id/password multiple times and they are correct. Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance

HFJ,
every once in a while my iPhone 5 fails to recognize my Apple ID. I don't have to go all the way to Restore to Factory Settings, I just have to turn off the phone. (Hold down top button until screen asks to slide if you want to turn it off.) Give it a few seconds, turn it on again.

Confirming CLI commands before copying?

              Hi All,
                   Is there a way to confirm the cli commands inputted into a Nexus5k (NX-OS) Ver 4.1(3) N1(1), before copying it to start. The JunOS has a "commit check" command that will give a heads up if the commands you are about to put in are going to hose your network. The "checkpoint" function will get me back to an operational state, but, I would rather not have to dance while the network comes back to life.
Thanks All,
              Ron Clifford

Hi,
IOS-XR implements the commit feature and checks the validity of the config and it seems NX-OS does the same

Black screen flashes before opening gmail

Hi, recently I updated to Firefox 4.0. Since then, every time I visit gmail.com a black screen appears. After a split second it disappears again and the usual gmail log in screen shows up. Why is that and how can I get rid of that black screen flashing before gmail loads? Has it something to do with the ad-ons adblock, flashblock and noscript I installed? They never caused any trouble in Firefox 3.x

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Screen flash before rotation

hi all, i installed a new video driver today (updated to newest), and all of a sudden my screen is flashing before it rotates when i flip it to tent mode or tablet mode. to be specific, when i flip the screen over, the screen flashes off and back on, before rotating. this has never happened before. i'm wondering if anybody else has run into this problem and has a fix?
thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

i've tried both of those options, with no avail. i ended up just clean installing windows 8.1 using my recovery usb. it was likely an incompatibility with the tech preview build, just weird that it happened so suddenly when i've had no problem with it for the month that i had the w10 build.
thanks for all the help guys
