FaceTime never works on the first attempt

I'm surprised I don't see anything mentioned on these forums yet, because I know more people that have these problems:
Whenever I try to call via FaceTime, and the other person answers, the call get's stuck in the "Connection…" state for minutes. The second attempt is more likely to work, but it doesn't always, either. In some cases the first attempt is not even seen by the other person, even though I don't get an error message on my side. I think initiating the call on the receivers side should be more or less a push notification, right? These work fine in other applications, as far as I can tell.
My guess is that this might be somewhat network related, but the connection speed on both sides should be more then enough, and the call quality, once it starts working, is fine. I wonder if I can do some diagnosis on the connection, or if that's not where the problem is in the end?

so effectively it's on a different drive, sort of
But still using the same reader heads as your primary drive. So technically, it's still the same drive.
I just cut a 4 angle music video last week using my MacPro at work, and even with the source media on a FW800 G-Raid, I was still getting delayed playback and couldn't even view the 4-up display when playing back. So I moved the project to our XSAN, and with the fibre backbone there, bandwidth was definitely increased.
So the other variable in this problem is bandwidth as well as RAM. I know that a fibre based storage system isn't in everyone's budget, but I'd recommend trying out an eSATA based drive, given that I had trouble with 4 streams over FW800.

VB Script not working correctly the first attempt

I have a VB script that loads the active channels data into a Report.
The weird thing is that upon first run (pressing F5) of the script it does not update my Graph Data on either page of my 3 page Report (1st page has a table and the 2/3 pages have a graph). Upon the second attempt of running the script it will update the Graph on page 2 but the not on page 3 and finally one the third run of the script it will update page 3's Graph.
I added code to cycle through each sheet and bring the active sheet to the front of the Report but no change in behavior. I can simply ad a For Loop to repeat the data loading procedure 3 times but this is just bad coding in my opinion, I would like my code to be efficient.
If anyone has any ideas or similar experiences please let me know what resolution you came too. Code is below.
Thanks.

The recording mode is kind of a joke. Maybe it's good for 2+2 but it does not seem to record 98% of what I do. Maybe I'm missing something? It also does not seem to be variable friendly. I much prefer scripting either way.
This is what it recorded for the actions that parallel the code I attached above.
Call PicUpdate(0) '... PicDoubleBuffer
Call PicUpdate(0) '... PicDoubleBuffer
Call PicUpdate(0) '... PicDoubleBuffer
Call GRAPHSHEETRENAME("TABLE", "TABLE") '... GraphSheetName,GraphSheetNameII
Call GRAPHSHEETRENAME("TABLE", "FO.GC.212__@@CurrDate@@TABLE") '... GraphSheetName,GraphSheetNameII
Call GRAPHSHEETRENAME("FO.GC.212__@@CurrDate@@TABLE", "TABLE") '... GraphSheetName,GraphSheetNameII
So I long ago disregarded the record mode.
One more detail about my above problem is that all my problems started when I moved from DIAdem Evaluation (which I believe is the Pro edition) to DIAdem Advanced edition. When I originally wrote the script in Evaluation Edition it worked great, everytime. Once I purchased DIAdem and ran the script on Advanced Edition, I began having the problems with the curves not updating their data properly every script cycle.
Thanks.

Hi, since I've bought the iphone, my facetime never works, I just can't activate the facetime in settings, when I put it on, after some time, the phone shows the message: activation unsuccesful. Do you guys know what should I do?

Hi, since I've bought the iphone, my facetime never works, I just can't activate the facetime in settings, when I put it on, after some time, the phone shows the message: activation unsuccesful. Do you guys know what should I do?

Where are you, what network are you on and where did you get the phone?
If you are on an unsupported network, Facetime may never be able to activate. If the phone originated in a different country, facetime is probably trying to send an International text message to activate. If you don't have International text messaging, it will fail.

I just got an IPad and it seems to be interfering with my Iphone. Facetime doesnt work unless the other device is shut off. apps aren't syned. email doesn't some in quickly on the phone

The machine could be repaired by a company that does circuit board re-soldering, since it is possible a heat-flex solder break on the main board may have caused either the processor or graphics chips to lose connection and that could manifest itself in a few somewhat documented ways.
There is an on-board RAM chip that may also have something to do with a kernel panic, if it no longer is functioning correctly; that is the non-removable one soldered on the board you never usually worry about.
Companies such as powerbookmedic, wegenermedia, and others can take in portable macs of vintage or newer (contact them for details on what they do, and how they accept work orders) for repair and can fix most anything; and have a parts inventory. Modern repair workstations allow the equipped service company to fix complex issues and they do troubleshooting. Sometimes the cost is less than a replacement logic board.
The links above may help isolate the general cause of a kernel panic. There are other articles in Support database including a deeper look into them.

Usually the issue is caused by hardware, especially if there is an indication of machine failure in the crash log or other screen image text.
A working last model MacBook (mid-2010) would be a better 'first mac' to have.
Hopefully you can sort it out.
If not, there likely are fair parts in it.

Can I allow two attempts and after the first attempt have a new window open to a url?

I would like to allow the user two attempts to answer a question. However, after the first attempt, if they get it wrong, I would like a new window to open that takes them to a tutorial Web site we have, where they can find the answer. Then I would like them to be able to close that window and return to the question for the second attempt?
Is this possible?
Right now, I have designed a very clunky version of this. I have one question slide with one attempt and if they answer wrong, they go to the next slide, which has a button to the tutorial page. Then the same question slide is repeated, again with one attempt. In this same scenario, if the person got the question right the first time, they moved on to a new question slide. This works, but is bad for scoring and eliminates the possibility of using question pools and putting questions in random order.
Thanks,
Carrie

100 feet would normally not be a problem......if the AirPorts have line-of-sight with each other......but if there are obstructions like walls, ceilings or furniture in the direct signal path between the AirPorts, little if any of the signal will even reach the extending AirPort.
Try locating the extending AirPort at about 50-60 feet away to see if can pick up a stronger signal to extend.
It would be much better if you connect the AirPorts using an Ethernet cable, as there is no signal loss in an Ethernet cable up to 300+ feet.

Try doing it in a WIndows Safe mode - Restart computer and hit F8 key right after your see BIOS check and choose "Safe mode with networking"
Do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
If that does not work, whilst in safe mode, download Free Malwarebyte software from CNET's Download.com. Install, update virus definition then perform a full scan. Remove if it did find some viruses or trojans. Restart computer.
Back to regular windows, do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
If that doesnot work, check to see if your Hard drive has errors or bad sectors
GO START BUTTON /COMPUTER, right mouse click OS (C:) and choose "Properties"
Choose "Tools" tab and under error checking, click "Check Now".
Make sure "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" is checked and click start.
Restart windows will perform the above task to fix errors This may take hours depends on how big is your Hard Drive
Good Luck!!.

Exception only on the first attempt

Hi Gurus,
When i click on a custom pop-up, i get a exception in the last page only on the first attempt.(CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR). i have debugged enough, but i am not able to figure out anything. What can be possibly the solution?
Do Help!!

Hi there,
You could try creating sub-templates within your .rtf layout template. Create 2 sub-templates somewhere within yout .rtf and call them <?template:FirstPageFooter?> and <?template:OtherPagesFooter?>, or whatever names you want.
In the first page MS Word footer, call FirstPageFooter (<?call:FirstPageFooter?>) then insert a page break even if you have no fields to display on page 2 and put <?call:OtherPagesFooter?> in the page 2 footer.
Now I have done this in the header before, but not the footer. If this doesn't work the same in the footer you could always just call the sub-templates in the body at the end of page 1 and page2 and not use the MS Word Footer.
Hope this helps

How do I delete an iPad from my Mac, like I never sync in the first place?

How do I delete an iPad from my Mac, like I never sync in the first place?

I have a pc, rather than a mac, but the process is the same from what i have read on the Apple website.
You can restore to original factory settings as ifyou never synced the ipad with a computer by going to settings >reset (last option on the menu) > erase all content and settings.
Youcan also do it by connecting your ipad to your computer and choosing toRestore it from the 'summary' menu (below the Update option). I wasnot able to do it this way because it kept timing out with the iPadsoftware update, but it might work for you.
These options may take a while if you have lots ofcontent but once it is done it will just as it was when you bought it,with factory settings.
NB: Note that this process will erase all content, so if you have purchased apps, music etc, be sure to transfer your purchases first!
This process has worked for me and I am now just syncing my ipad with my desktop instead of my laptop.
Hope this helps.

Why am I being billed for equipment that never worked from the get go, and that your representatives admitted never connected to the computer on your end?

In September my husband and I were planning a cross country move and we thought that having a Jet Pack to go on line with while we were traveling would be a good idea. When we ordered it we told the representative that we did not need it until the 1st of Oct. as that was when we would be leaving. It arrived on our door on Sept 9th with the instructions to be sure and activate it within 2 weeks or we would lose the line. On the 19th we called in the activation and everything appeared fine. We hit the road on the 1st and Nothing, Na-Da, Zip, Zilch .... The equipment never worked from the get go! We called Verizon from the road on the 4th of Oct. to find out what was going on and the representative told us that the problem was with the computer on Verizon's end. We shut the equipment off for the rest of our trip and called for a refund on the 13th of Oct. We spoke to a representative named Juan, who again confirmed that it was Verizon's computer that had been the problem, and we were assured that all fee's associated with the Jet Pack would be waived as the equipment never worked in the 1st place. He told us all we needed to do was return the broken equipment and that he would send us a return label. We received the return label and sent the equipment back on the 22nd of Oct. On our next bill no credits of any kind had been applied? We promptly picked up the phone and called Verizon again, on Oct 31st, to find out what was going on? This time we spoke to Lou Ann. After about an hour and a half she finally managed to remove the fee's, or so we thought, and we hung up satisfied. On 11/5 our Nov. bill arrived again with no credits of any kind. We thought maybe the billing cycle hadn't had time to catch up with our most recent conversation so we called just to verify. This time we spoke to Moncheria. She did not understand what had happened and had to reenter the same refund that Lou Ann had earlier. Again another hour and a half on the phone. Today,11/28, we received our most recent bill and again no credits of any kind??? We picked up the phone and called again. This time we explained to Christian, (the above story), and she put us on the phone with her supervisor Carson. Carson proceeded to tell us that ALL of the previous representatives we had spoken to were wrong and that since we had not returned the equipment within 14 days of receiving it that we were beyond the limits of the refund policy, (which means we would have had to return it before we left on our trip), and the best she could do was offer us coupons for the future to offset THEIR mistake! No thank you I will keep my cash in my pocket!
1st of all we ordered it for the 1st of Oct. not for 9th of Sept.
Secondly we were told to be sure and activate it within 14 days or we would lose the line, never any mention of a refund time limit. (Who buys stuff anticipating an immediate refund?)
And 3d THE EQUIPMENT NEVER WORKED IN THE 1ST PLACE!!
Now Verizon is asking for $343.34 in fee's for something that never worked in the 1st place!! This is ridiculous and those fee's are defiantly under dispute! The way I see it trying to hold me to a contract that Verizon breached by sending out faulty equipment is just wrong!

Video not working on the first run of Android app

I couldn't find any results regarding this problem. Maybe I'm just using wrong keywords as it is difficult to explain.
Has anyone else encountered that video is not working on the first run of Android app? By first run I mean directly after installing. I'm using NetConnection, NetStream, Video objects and GPU renderMode. By working I mean it's not showing and can't hear the audio. I haven't yet debugged deeper so I don't know if the problem is actually related to the code loading the video.
I've encountered the following issues, which may or may not be related, regarding the the first run and Video object:
- The first run takes about 20 seconds to start. After that, the start is pretty much instant. If you clear app's cache, it again takes the 20 seconds to launch. The video works after clearing app's cache.
- When creating the first Video object, the app flashes screen to black for a few frames. This is why I create a dummy Video object in the beginning.
I use AIR 13, going to upgrade to 14, but I'm quite sure this problem and the issues have been for a while.

I should add that we're using flv, not mp4. And they're progressively downloaded, not local.

Form_URN doesn't work for the first few times on android, and doesn't work completely on iphone.

Dear All,
I used approval workflow in my workflow and modified the content in the email sent by system to users. I used hyperlink to setup a clickable letter to Current Task : Form_URN. (everything under workflow 2010 and SP 2013 online )
After that, I initiated some new items in the list and the email got sent to users. On android phone, I was able to click on the link created by current task: Form_URN and it leads me to log in, after I log in it leads me to a black website of my sharepoint
site. I noticed the URL is correct (which means if I use the url on my computer, it will lead me to the place I want it to be, which is the approve or reject the workflow) after a few times of sending request, suddenly it worked on my android phone.
(no idea what happened). But then I did the same test on iphone, it kept leading me to the blank site, and never worked in the end, the link is still correct. Is it a browser thing? Is it possible to fix it?
Thanks

You can only turn it into your local Apple store to be recycled for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one. That's it though.

Including image in SharePoint survey answer and hiding elements only work on the first page

Hi All,
I would like to add some text/remove some text etc on a sharepoint survey page.
Which i have done using jquery/jscript.
But unfortunately it only works on the first page.
Any ideas how i can get it to work on all the pages?
See a sample here on how you can add the scripts:
http://sharepointkings.blogspot.com.au/2011/05/include-image-in-sharepoint-survey.html
Cheers

Hi Patrick, does the first page use the same ASPX file as the other pages? If not, you will need to add your jquery/jscript to the other page as well.

First night I was able to watch 2 TV shows (45 min each) with no problems, but thereafter programs will not stream without constant pause to buffer. Weather conditions are ideal and my internet comes from crappy hugesnet, but worked fine the first night.

The speed may have been ok at that time and is too inconsistent/too slow overall. interference may have proven to be more of an issue since as well. If using public DNS that will provide Intermittant results
I'm sure using a hotspot would be fine but it depends on your viewing habits. An HD movie is around 4-5GB. It would also be subject to speed. requirements so best to test to see how it compares.
You would have to check with your Carrier if hotspot it's enabled then just to into your settings and toggle it ON

Colors not showing up in Photoshop. Worked fine the first day, now when I click on a color it comes out in gray tones. Pop up about RAM storage?

Just downloaded Photoshop and there was a pop up box that mentioned my RAM and something about not enough RAM left for certain 3D features, filters, and image/color graphics(?). I continued. Everything was working fine the first time I went to use it, but the next day I opened the program and could not get any colors to show up. How can I fix this?

Go to Image>Mode and make sure you color is RGB, not gray scale. Also, a preference reset might help: Ctrl/Cmd+Alt/Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop startup.

HT4623 I have purchased a Epson Workforce 435, can't AirPrint, will this work with the first gen iPad?

I have purchased a Epson Workforce 435, can't AirPrint, will this work with the first gen iPad?

Also i forgot to add after a night of searching how to turn the Epson Workforce 435 printer into Airprint friendly and not iPrint (which are 2 completely different things) i donwloaded a program called (AirPrint Activator) from HandyPrint. The link is below to download the software. Once i installed the application i set my printer to be shared over my Home Network (Wi-Fi Network). Once you have done that, open the AirPrint Activator application you have just downloaded, swtich it ON from OFF mode, and then you should easily see your printer name in my case EPSON Workforce 435 and then just close the application. Then go to your IOS Device like your iphone/ipad/ipod touch select a picture that you want to test print or even an attached PDF from your email, and select Print in the share button. You will then be prompted to select your printer. Your printer you automatically be recongised then just select print. And now you have a complete AirPrint ready printer with a Printer that doesnt even support the function. Im sure you can do this to all Wireless Printers, even if they came out before Apple AirPrint service launch.
And also if you still need guidance and a video to follow from just click the Youtube link below
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r75m_VUr0E
