Error 3256 work around - Switch speaker to computer then back to remote

I have found a quick Error 3256 work around. Switch the speaker to computer (drop box in bottom right corner of iTunes display) then back to the remote speaker. This beats starting and restarting iTunes.
Background: I have been using my airport express to stream music from iTunes on my PowerBook G4 to my stereo. Since the latest iTunes update I have been getting error 3256 when I try to start playing music after the computer has been in sleep mode. Stopping and restarting iTunes would solve the problem until the next time the computer went to sleep. By accident I discovered that switching the speaker setting to computer and back clears the problem.

Thanks, that simple switch worked for me too (after I had updated firmware on the airport express to 6.2 and it still did not work)

My ipad mini refuses to join home wifi connection. It is trying to do so continuously but with no success. I tried to reset all settings. Switched wifi off and then back on. Nothing works. The rest of devices are fine with the wifi. What shall I do next?

Maybe reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds or so and then plug it back in. Reboot your iPad while the router is powering up.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

SMB Direct connect Issues and error -36 (work around?)

I use the SMB command to connect from a Imac, to a Windows 7 machine.   Typically on a fresh restart of both machines the connection would be quick and fast transfer speeds.   However after a while I would get disconnected and after logging back in, would get slow connections and typically get an error -36 when trying to transfer bigger files.     What I did notice was that when the Windows machine would go to sleep, and come back online, these symptoms would occur.
What I decided to do, was turn off any type of sleep mode and power saving options on the network device. for the windows machine.   As naturally I would still get disconnected every once in a while, once I connect I do not have anymore issues.    This has worked now for the last couple of days, so I assume I can consider this a work around.
It seems that if the SMB connection gets disconnected from the other computer, the Mac will start giving errors.    I am not sure if this is really the mac issue, but this has only happened when I updated to Yosemite.
Let me know if anyone else has this problem, and has success with this solution.

If your MacBook is using wifi, connect your ATV to it using an Ethernet cable and turn on Internet sharing in the Sharing section of the System Preferences for the Ethernet NIC in the MacBook, then set up the ATV for a TCP/IP connection in the General -> Network section of the ATV Settings menu.

CS4: Easy way to switch to Camera Raw, then back to Photoshop?

Is there an easy way while editing an image in Photoshop, to "send" it to Camera Raw for quick edits (like Clarity, Temperature, etc.) and then back to Photoshop?
Right now I have to save my image, go to Bridge, then "open in Camera Raw" and then back to Photoshop. I'm just wondering if there's a shortcut for this directly from Photoshop that's all.
Thanks in advance.

I didn't ask for your opinion about a smooth workflow, just asked if there was that capability. There's obviously a reason why I need to switch back and forth. I do a lot of unique manipulation, there are functions in Camera Raw that are 500% faster to do than in Photoshop, but there are custom filters I need to apply first. Sometimes that requires me to switch back and forth. What's NOT a smooth workflow is having to save an image, closing it, opening it another Adobe program, saving it, then back in the first program.
In older versions of Photoshop you could easily switch back and forth from Photoshop to Imageready with ONE BUTTON CLICK. Just wondering if it's possible to do that with PS and Camera Raw, that's all.

Moving itouch photos to computer, then back

alright. so i'm trying to move my ipod touch pictures from camera roll/internal storage to the computer, then i would put them in my computer's folders, then sync them again. i like to organize things into their respective folders, and i don't want to use the "create a folder" option directly in the itouch because it's kind of confusing.
so, i moved pictures from itouch to computer, then i'll sync them again.
but why is it taking too much space? everytime i move 5-10 photos, the photo storage increases. why is that? shouldn't the photo storage capacity be stable already?
please help me! i just want to transfer my photos from the itouch to the computer, then put them in a folder and sync again without using up the capacity.
thank you!

I do not understand what you mean by " I Use ctrlX to cut the pictures so i won't need to delete them anymore since they would be directly transferred."
When you say " Then, everytime i transfer, the free storage decreases. Something like 9.40 GB etc etc " what are you doing

Reload Software 552 Error message work around

I'm desperate.. and climbing out of my skin
The long and the short of it: I have an 8520 and I got an error message of 'Relooad Software 552', but I can't get it to load
I was able to tether the phone and get into the Application Loader, even though the PIN doesn't display on the Desktop Manager (5.0.0.8)
I tried doing it with the Add/Remove Applications and with the Update Software. It gets through the first two phases, then it just hangs up
I tried calling T-Mobile, who put me in touch with BlackBerry... sorry, but I don't have a lot of confidence with the people over the phone. It doesn't help that they try to talk down to me.....
No matter, it's not working
On my old phone, the BB Pearl 8220, a tecnican was trying to do something back door, where we went into the files on my hard drive and used a Loader there (?).
Can someone maybe help me?
If I could get the phone to work, I would be willing to keep this handset and not bother with the new handset that BB is sending to me.
I want this to work. I NEED my phone. I'm inconvenienced with a loaner phone (no bells/whistles... yuck)
Any one?
([email protected] although I can't see the responses so quickly as there is no email on this loaner phone)

CreateProcess: null... error 2 work around

When trying to create a new database, at least on some configurations, the Database Configuration Assistant gives the following error:
CreateProcess: null -new -sid selectedsid -startmode m error=2
And then when you press Enter, you get error ORA-12560.
It seems that the assistant is running 'null' instead of the oradim utility.
The workaround is:
1. Start creating the database until you get the CreateProcess error.
2. Open a dos window, and run:
c:\oracle\ora92\bin\oradim -new -sid selectedsid -startmode m
(where 'selectedsid' is the sid you selected in the assistant).
3. Once it's done, press ok on the CreateProcess error and everything should continue ok.
Alon.

HT1560 If diagnostics says appletv is working properly, why does the install keep getting stuck on pairing with the computer then back to select resolution over and over.

First gen Appletv suddenly stopped working from one night to the next. This has happened in the past once and the usual restore, reboot, etc, tinkering finally snapped it back into working quite unexpectadly. The symptom is, after restore when it gets to the screen to pair with itunes by entering the numbers in itunes, the number is briefly up on the tv screen and then quickly is gone returning to the select resolution page. This happens over and over with each try while the Appletv never shows up in itunes and the number box never appears either to pair the computer with the Appletv. It does the same thing with my intel macbook so I don't think it's the Imac. I have dumped itunes 10 and reloaded itunes 9 with no change in the problem. My IP scanner picks up that the Appletv is on our network as soon as it turns on. I have used wireless, which it finds and logs into, and ethernet which also has it finding my network. I can't test whether it is actually on the network by trying to play a trailer or something because it will not go past that pairing screen in the initial setup. Are the built in diagnostics reliable when they say your appletv is working correctly. The hard drive isn't making any exceptionally loud noise as it spins up. I am stuck with this unit because I use it with a G4 Imac running Tiger 10.4 for a video/audio jukebox at the bar. New ATV won't work with the Imac unless it's running leopard I believe. The thing runs like molasses already so attempting leopard which I don't have anyway would really make it crawl. I love a good mystery/problem but this thing is driving me crazy. If I just could know for sure what component inside was shot I would replace it. Could a hard drive boot up to a degree and then get stuck at one part of the install, or would it have to be the logic board, or something else. Bad juju in the house or something

Had same problem this finally stopped it for me.

TS4223 How do I bypass error message and download movie to my computer, then transfer to my iPod?

Firefox crashes whenever on a page that needs Adobe Flash. If I uninstall then reinstall Flash, it works until I restart my computer, then it happens again

Running latest version of both Firefox (19.0.2) and Adobe Flash (11.6.602.171) as of the date of this post.
I'm using Windows 7.
This problem has been going on for a few months (maybe even a year). I can't remember the last time this didn't happen.
This problem doesn't occur with Google Chrome, and it is getting very irritating.

I am having the same problem. I use Ubuntu 12.04 and use Flash version 11.2 r202. Since Ubuntu went canonical with 19.02. Firefox has been crashing endlessly. I uninstalled and installed a strip down version only with Flash. It still crashes.
Do anyone have a solution? I disable all acceleration and there is no other plugin running?

Switching Internet to diferant Computer then Back

Safari won't play youtube videos anymore. I've never had trouble in the past. I switched to chrome but then back to safari and changed the default browser to safari. Now safari won't open any sites that require a user and password. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone,
I've recently been getting error messages on youtube videos when using safari. This never used to happen. I tried using chrome but it didn't take care of the problem. When I set my default browser back to safari, safari won't open any websites that require a username and password. Any suggestions?

My case is different from those listed below. First, I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5.
My problem is this:
I run a Google search, say, "youtube somesong", and from the hit list returned from google I
pick some selection. Youtube launches and plays the video without problems. However, when
i click on any of the alternate videos from the page's vertical list, only the name of the chosen video
appears beneath the video I just watched. The new selection itself is not loaded by Safari.
This occurs for any selection I choose. My way around this problem is to force a Safari reload of
the page by using the keyboard shortcut, Command-R. This fills in the old video window with the
video I just chose. Can I conclude that this is a Safari issue alone, or is it a Safari/Youtube combo gotcha? Anyway, the present condition *****.
This problem began sometime after i upgraded to Mountain Lion. I have reset Safari and have also
deleted the Youtube.com Cache, Cookies, and Local Storage from the Privacy settings under
System Preferences. I have also tested the problem by running Safari in 32 bit mode (no luck there).
If anyone out there has experienced this scenario, I sure could use a little help here.

T420 Dual Display Temp Switch to Single Display then Back

T420, no docking station, with external monitor connected to VGA port. Windows 8.1 64-bit. Display driver up-to-date, Windows 8.1 up-to-date. Lenovo Syetm Update run and everything is up-to-date. So occasionally it switches back to single display (laptop screen) then immediately switches back to dual display. Seems to do this randonly without warning. I don't see any obvious issues, event log does not show any problems when the issue occurs. I did reinstall the display driver but that did not help. This is more of an annoyance then anything else. I just stop what I am doing and wait for it to switch back to dual display, as I use the external monitor as my primary desktop.

Same problem here. Brand new 2011 MacBookPro 17" and the 27" Cinema Display with the display port. The display goes black for about .5 secs, then comes back on. It is sporadic but happens multiple (30) times per hour.
The display worked fine with my old MBP 2010 with display port, so obviously this is a Thunderbolt issue.
Firmware update please?!

The Ipod cannot sync - disk cannot be read from or written to - Work around

I have been having the same problem and have talked to Apple support several times. It seems like the major problem is with Windows xp media center edition. They got back to me today with not a solution, but a work around. It seems to be working so far. If you are running media center edition open device manager and expand universal serial bus controlers by clicking on the + sign (with the itouch not connected) If you see "standard enhanced pci to usb host controller...right click on it and choose disable. Close device manager and reconnect your itouch to the computer. The sync will be much slower but it seems to be working for now. I spoke to a level 2 product specialist, and he was very helpful in giving me this "work around". He promises to get back to me with a fix asap. In that event I'll post the fix here.
Thanks,

Yes yes this worked for me too! ***?
I have Windows Media Center as well. I have tried EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING including reinstalling my OS. I have spent all of yesterday and all of today not to mention much time over the last few months trying to get it to work better. Not since getting my iPod have I ever been able to get everything to sync. Restores simply resulted in movies that previously worked not working and ones that didn't start to work. Oh and this is my third individual one. Seriously this works, but is a pain because now a single movie takes about 20 minutes or so to copy. Lame. Well I am going to call Apple tech support and mention this to them and also put something into feedback. It is ******** that people have to jump through so many hoops to get this to work. Apple is lucky this isn't my sister or my girlfriend. Anybody who doesn't have much experience with computers would be lost.
Thanks though! Same here, you saved my life as I was seriously ready to throw this out the window, as much as I love it! :O
Apple, please do something about this.
