Error code: -6 (Card terminal error)

Hi Guys,
Any idea why am I not able to connect to the card using JCOP Tool ? Whenever I try to connect I get this error,
- /terminal "winscard:4|Identive CLOUD 4700 F Contact Reader 0"
--Opening terminal

  • I have an error code , 500, internal server error, Is this an airport card problem?

    I get an error code, 500 Internal Server Error when I try to open Safari. How do I correct it or somehow remedy this?

    Hello Thomas,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Safari when using Wi-Fi.  I would be concerned about this too.
    I recommend following the steps in the section labeled "Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet" in the following article to resolve an issue like the one you described:

    delete this directory
    \Documents and SettinsThe specified item was not found.\Local settings\Temp
    delete any references to SAP
    The above steps helped me to reinstall the Trial software.
    Make sure that the system for the install meet the following requirements:

  • The NLS operation failed because the registry key Control Panel\International\User Profile cannot be opened. Error code is 2. Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.

    H,
    Since upgrading Windows server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 Standard edition, we get this repetitious critical error in the event log:
    Event 1001
    Op Code NLS initialization
    The NLS operation failed because the registry key Control Panel\International\User Profile cannot be opened. Error code is 2. Error message: The system cannot find the file specified.
    We originally found that the regional date settings after changing them in regional settings (DD/MM/YYYY) and they did not inherit properly from the upgrade but they are ok now. 
    I've looked at HKCU\.Default\Control Panel\International and nothing looks obviously wrong. Country codes, time & date formats are correct.
    How do we ascertain the  cause of this error and the specific registry key that might be problematic?

    Hi,
    This could be caused by firewall rules or security softwares.
    http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/242579-44-hkcu-control-panel-international-opened
    And in addition, the fix is worth a try.
    Nothing happens when you double-click "Region" in Control Panel

    To bypass this error attempt either a restart of your computer, or use an alernate broser such as firefox or chrome. If you already have another browser the latter may be the easier fix.

  • Error code 500 internal server error

    I got a computer from my brother. It has windows 7 starter on it. It has been running fine, but now it says that the Microsoft teredo tunneling adapter driver is not working. It also gives me an error code 500 internal server error, when I try to search
    for album information on windows media player. I don't understand IT jargon so can someone help me with this in plain English.

    Hi,
    Could you please have a share with the event log information? Reference for
    opening Event Viewer.
    What information appears in event logs? (Event Viewer)
    For the Microsoft teredo tunneling adapter driver, take a try to uninstall and then reinstall it in
    Device Manager.
    Error code 500 internal server error, if possible please have a share with a screenshot for this error message.
    As it states, the error is based on the server side.

    I would look at your log files on your server to see what is the issue.
    You most likely will have a php error log and a server error log.  That will point you in the right direction.

  • Deployment error:Error Code:-17500, Unknown System Error in TestStand - Read Seq Files in Workspace.vi-

    Help!
    When trying to deploy a test system i got the following error:
    Error Code:-17500
    Unknown System Error in TestStand - Read Seq Files in Workspace.vi->TestStand - Find Dependent Files.vi->TestStand - Add File and Dependent Files.vi->TestStand - Add All TestStand User Files to File Info Array.vi->TestStand - Update File Info.vi->TestStand - Distribution Wizard GUI.vi->TestStand - Deployment Utility Splash Screen.vi
    I then tried to re-deploy previously successfully deployed systems - same error. (I have done nothing to my teststand setup/installation/engine or deployment files since the last successful deployment)
    I removed teststand & then re-installed it - i still got the same error. These files it is searching for do not exist on my pc.
    Any ideas what has gone wrong/how to fix it?
    cheers
    Fi

    I've just had exactly the same problem and after posting a message, have been forwarded to this thread. Luckily it looks as though we've found a solution, or a cause of the problem. One of my work colleagues (SercoSteve on discussion forums) suggested removing the Teststand 3.1\cfg directory, and replacing it with a default one from another machine, and this seems to have done the trick and made the deployment wizard be able to analyse the files and build. We are editing files in cfg so I've now got the task of replacing each file in this directory one by one to find which is causing the problem.
    I'll add another post when I find out which one it is.

  • HTTP Error Code 400 Bad Request error when connecting to SQL db

    I realized I should move this to a new post since it was a new question...
    I am trying to connect to a distributed SQL database from CS4.
    Let me show you how the connection is built... and then maybe someone can tell me what I am doing wrong...
    First I go to the database panel:
    I click on the '+' sign to add an MS SQL Server Connection:
    That brings up the SQL Server Connection window where I am supposed to replace the placeholders with my server values:
    After I enter the correct values and click test, I get the error (HTTP Error Code 400 Bad Request)... These values work from SQL Server Management Studio on the same PC.
    Just as a side note... I tried one other thing that makes me think SOMETHING is wrong here:
    If I choose as OLE DB Connection instead... and click the 'Build...' button and then enter the values in the Data Link Properties Window (OLE DB Provider for SQL Server, and then the connection info on the Connection tab) and then click Test Connection on the Data Link Properties window, it says my test succeeded. Then I click 'ok' which takes me back to the OLE DB Connection windows with the connection string pre-filled, and click test on THAT window and I get the same HTTP Error Code 400 Bad Request error...
    Hopefully that is enough detail that someone can can tell me what I have broken?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi there, 
    It was my mistake and the way we published app connection groups in the past. In the past we published the applications directly through an connection group without publishing the applications themself. In app-v 5.0 sp3 I needed to publish the packages itself
    also.... 

  • When I try to transfer a video from iPhone to Mac it gives me this error code (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error 28.) It only happens when I try to transfer a 1.9GB video

    When I try to transfer a video from iPhone to Mac it gives me this error code (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error 28.) It only happens when I try to transfer a 1.9GB video

    How are you trying to transfer it?  Which applicaiton on the Mac are you using? How are you connecting the iPhone to the Mac? If you're using iPhoto what version of iPhoto is it and what system are you using?

  • Launch error code: -2857 Exited with error code: 215

    Anybody have any idea what:
    "Launch error code: -2857 Exited with error code: 215"
    means when launching an app? Tries to launch, then quit. That shows up in the Console.
    Thanks.

    First I want to say thanks for the feedback. I appreciate the support and helpful suggestions.
    Second, Epson sent me an answer of sorts...they provided detailed instructions on uninstalling the application and then told me to reinstall using the disk image from their web site (in other words, don't use their web package to "update" and existing installation). I did this and things seem to be running fine now. It's unfortunate that their update instructions don't say to do this in the first place (maybe I missed it ).
    So at one level this issue is solved. Unfortunately I'm too curious and wanted to know why the error happend in the first place. As a software developer myself (mainframe and midrange server based) I hate the "delete and reinstall" answer as it does nothing to really identify and solve the real problem. But I do also appreciate the idea of "just get it fixed fast" so that's what I did.
    Anyway, I will now spend some time learning about Launch Services to see if I can get a more specific understanding of what happened.
    Thanks again for the help.
