Forwarding PnP events to child device from root-enum sw driver.

Hi All. We have a kmdf software root-enumerated driver that creates a child device (think Toaster). When 1 or more instances of our hardware appears, the sw-root creates an aggregate hardware abstraction and creates a child device (and kmdf queue)
for which a a portcls-derived miniport (think MSVAD) is loaded by PnP. When the physical hardware goes away, the sw-root does all of the WdfChildListxxx "mark missing" stuff and the PDO is marked for deletion and eventually removed so long
as the miniport is not actively streaming. When streaming, the miniport hangs and the PDO is marked for deletion but never moves any further, I am assuming because portcls doesn't get any notification (power events) to tell it that it needs to purge
IO and unload. I do see that in the non-streaming scenario, the PDO's PointerCount is 1 when after the sw-root marks the child missing versus 3 in the streaming case. My hope is that if I can give portcls (the miniport) the appropriate power events,
it may do the right thing, and at least know to purge the stream, then unload.
So... My question concerning wdf is:
Do I need to generate and send power IRPs to the child PDO (aka the portcls-miniport driver for the child PDO) because it sits atop a sw-root driver with no real power IRPs, and if so, how does one accomplish that?
Thanks!

no, you don't want to send power requests to the child stack, portcls is the power policy owner, not your bus driver. Is your miniport failing rendering requests when it is marked for removal? A normal hw based miniport would and that is probably what
is telling the port driver to notify whomever has open handles that the device is gone. If the miniport is not failing requests, you may have to create a private communication channel between it and the pdo to indicate removal and start failing

Error when running captive runtime .exe from root directory of drive.

Platform: Windows
Specifics: Captive runtime desktop app using an ANE.
Problem: I am distributing the app on a flash drive. Ideally,the .exe will be on the root of the drive, so the user will not need to enter a subdirectory. I'm mostly concerned about users moving the software and getting frustrated by this error.
The error is "Adobe Air: The installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance."
Here's an example. Importantly, this error only occurs when an ANE is included. I tried a few different ANE files created by others, and simply adding them to the project produces the error. I don't even need to use the ANE anywhere in my code.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/epfj0138pfbmu49/soExample.7z
This is a simple application with a few blank buttons. Try extracting in a subdirectory somewhere, and then moving to the root of a flash drive or any other drive. However, I don't recommend running code from strangers on the top directory of your C:\ drive.
Additionally, I installed Apache Flex 4.12 but the error persists. The text simply changed to "Initial content could not be loaded for this application. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance."
https://www.dropbox.com/s/epfj0138pfbmu49/soExample.7z

I did some more testing. Same issue occurs if I create a captive runtime app from Flash Pro. It also happens when I use the Adobe Air installer, but install to the root directory.
Can anyone think of a workaround?

Share my iTunes on all my IOS devices from an external hard-drive

I have put my full iTunes library on an external hard-drive (2TB Lacie, USB connection only).
I`m doing this because my music library is geting to large now that i digitalized all my cd`s and starting to do the same for my vynil.
How can I listen to this library on all my IOS devises?
Can I create an wireless network for my iTunes in my house as not to connect (with the cable) to my hard-drive each time?
Is it possible with the hardware I have or do I need to look for other devices?
Much appreciate the information you could share and give

Hard to tell exactly why it has happened without knowing what actions you took, but I would suspect you added to the library when it shouldn't have been necessary.
Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.
Or you could redo the migration in a way that works. See Re: Moving itunes library from desktop computer to laptop for example.

Stoping a group of child components from listening for mouseover event.

Hi,
I am trying to create a type of navigation system in this little app i'm working on which executes a function when the mouse is rolled over a canvas container. There are four of these canvas container which carry child components like labels, image, and text controls. These canvas containers have an initial alpha values of 0.5 so i want the fade effect to gradually animate to 1.0 when the mouse is rolls over it. When the mouse rolls out i want the alpha to animate the alpha values back to 0.5. I have sucessfuly done this here is a sample code.
     public function rollOverEffect(e:Event):void
          var ROFadeEffect:Fade=new Fade(e.target);
          ROFadeEffect.duration=500;
          ROFadeEffect.alphaFrom=0.5;
          ROFadeEffect.alphaTo=1;
          ROFadeEffect.end();
          ROFadeEffect.play([e.target]);
     public function rollOutEffect(e:Event):void
          var ROFadeEffect:Fade=new Fade(e.target);
         ROFadeEffect.duration=500;
          ROFadeEffect.alphaFrom=1;
          ROFadeEffect.alphaTo=0.5;
          ROFadeEffect.end();
          ROFadeEffect.play([e.target]);
So this is working but not perfect...everytime my mouse rolls over the canvas it comes to life (Fades in).....but when it rolls over its child components, it fades out. I really dont follow why. Do i need to stop these child components from recieving events or what
here is the MXML code for the UI

Hi l33tian,
Check the below code with small modifications that I have made to your code in order to make it work...
Observe the changes that I have made in your rollOver and rollOut functions and also in the mxml code in which I have taken a seperate canvas for all the canvases and added the mouseOver and mouseOut events on this canvas instead of outer canvas so that we can eliminte the problem of FadeOut when we mouseOver on the child components of canvas...

Spanning tree, forwarding from from root, how?

Hello!
I have very simple, and I guess, stupid question.
I understand how switches choose forwarding ports by calculation cost to root.
But how path from root to other switches is calculated?
Let's say we have just two switches, connected by two 1G links.
One of switches is root, how it will find which por use as designated?
As I see on my hardware root uses both.
But if one of links is 1G and another 10G? How root will choose which port to use?
Thank you!

Yes, I think that link with less cost will be choosed.
But how? Is there any explanation how it works?
All manuals/examples I can find are about calculation path to root, to down from root.
Could you point me to manual with explanation how forwarding path is calculated down from root?
Thank you!

How do I remove ONE device from an iCloud account to a new one?

I am moving to college this fall, and want to separate myself and my apple devices (iPad 2 and iPhone 4s) from my family's apple ID. For a few years we've all shared a single ID for purchases of apps and music, as well as syncing our calendar events on our iPads. I just recently got an iPhone, and it bothers me that, having set it up under the same iCloud account, the contact list between me and my mom's phone is the same. I don't need all of her work contacts on my phone, nor does she need all of my friends on her phone.
I've been cautious, because I always knew I would create a separate account eventually - and I know purchases are not transferable. I haven't purchased any music on the iTunes store, and with the exception of two or three $.99 apps I've chosen free apps on my iPad and iPhone. I've created my own apple ID now, but what I want to do is change my devices from our family's iCloud account to my OWN...I'm not sure how to do this exactly.
I see a setting in the devices under Settings>iCloud that says "Delete Account" ....but I hesitate to press that - will it only delete the account on THIS device? Or does it remove the account entirely from all associated devices??
Thanks for your help!

Winston is correct, and that is exactly what you should do. This will allow you to sign in to your own Apple ID for iCloud.
There's a couple other places you will want to do the same thing:
-iTunes Store: Settings > Store > Tap on the Apple ID and chose Sign Out.
And possibly:
-iMessage: Settings > Messages > Receive At
-Facetime: Settings > Facetime

How do i remove a device from my apple id on find my phone app with out erasing the device.

How do I remove a device from my apple id on the find my phone app with out erasing it becase it still belongs to my child? I need to remove a iPad mini and a iPod 4th gen.
Thanks

If you haven't already, do Settings > iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone. You will have to supply your Apple ID and password.
Then do Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings to make the iPhone appear as if it just came out of the box.

TS3999 I have been having issues in ical I have been saving events on 1 device & it has been getting over written & deleted by my other device.

I've got an iMac & an iPhone 5. I have been having issues when I have been saving events on 1 device & it has been getting over written & deleted by other device. Up until now it had been items that were not hugely important until now!!! I have a daily repeated event that I update on a Dailey basis so that I can keep a record of events for my job so that I can compile a report. The daily event is still in both diaries but any extra info that has been put in has been lost? So I have lost a month & a half a worth of data!!!
Does anyone know if there is a way of getting this back, can you view you iCal history at all?

We need to know more about your system, please download EtreCheck and run the report and please post it on your next reply. Then we can see how your system is configured, what apps are on it and look for anything obvious. We will look forward to seeing your report.

Calling a function in child window from parent window

Hi,
How can I call a method in child window from parent window in adobe air using javascript. In the following example I need to call mytest() function in
child.html from parent.html file.
Thanks,
ASM
//parent.html
<HTML><HEAD>
<script>
var initOptions = new air.NativeWindowInitOptions();
initOptions.type = air.NativeWindowType.NORMAL;
initOptions.systemChrome = air.NativeWindowSystemChrome.STANDARD;
var bounds = new air.Rectangle(300, 300, 600, 500);
var html2 = air.HTMLLoader.createRootWindow(false, initOptions, false, bounds);
var urlReq2 = new air.URLRequest("child.html");
html2.load(urlReq2);
html2.stage.nativeWindow.activate();
html2.window.mytest(); //NOT WORKING
</script>
</HEAD><body></body></HTML>
// child.html
<HTML><HEAD>
<script>
function mytest()
air.trace("in child window");
</script>
</HEAD> <body></body></HTML>

I suspect your problem is that the child window hasn't been created by the time you call the function in the parent.Loading the content is an asynchronous processes -- AIR doesn't stop executing your code until the window has finished loading child.html. So, you will need to add an eventlistener to html2 and call the function from there:
html2.addEventListener( "complete", onChildLoaded );
function onChildLoaded( event )
html2.window.mytest();

Fail to remove did device from diskset

Hi guys,
I'm running sun cluster 3.1 and SVM 11.9 and Solaris 9 (5.9 Generic_122300-57 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire)
After syncing mirrors from old 9970 and new Hitachi storage and detaching old 9970 submirrors, we are trying to remove old 9970 did device from diskset.
This is what i got:
root@node1 # metaset -s diag-set -d -f /dev/did/rdsk/d18
metaset: node1: diag-set: host node2 does not have set
I can switch the service-group and also devices from node1 to node2 and vice versa.
I've already did the same steps over another cluster hosted by the same 6900 without erros.
Any ideas?
Thank's in advance for replies.

Hello Caius,
The steps only make changes to the metaset, it removes and then adds the host that gives the error.
There is no impact on your cluster. The worst that can happen is that you may see errors from the metaset
if the issue is not resolved after these procedure.
You could minimize the impact by disabling all the resources in that resource group including the HAStoragePlus

How to forward iCal events

Does anyone know how to forward iCal events to new attendees?

Hi jwinter0425,
Here's how you mail an existing event:
1. Right-click on the event in iCal
2. Click "Mail Event"
If you're sending this to an Microsoft Outlook/Exchange user, they won't be able to open it. I've developed an iCal plug-in that resolves iCal-to-Outlook compatibility issues. It's worth checking it out. http://www.zamain.com.

Hide Declined Events on iOS Devices

I use MobileMe to sync calendars between iCal 5.0 and both an iPhone 4 and iPad 2. When I delete and event from my calendar in iCal it dissappears unless I choose to "Show Decline Events". Sadly though, the event does not dissappear from my iOS devices...
Silimarly, the "declined" event is visible in MobileMe's web-hosted calendar, whetehr I choose to "Show Declined Events" or not.
How can I hide these declined events from being visible in iOS? Or alternatively, how can I truly DELETE the event so it's truly gone from all synced calendars?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
A.

Wonder if you made any progress on this?

Separating a child domain from a forest/parent domain

Our infrastructure is currently as follows:
There are two domains which I will call "apple.local" and "banana.local". The domain "apple.local" is the parent/forest which is at a Windows 2003 Functional Level. The domain "banana.local" is a child domain of "apple.local"
which is at a Windows 2008 Functional Level. This unusual arrangement was the result of a merger.
Recent business changes have meant that the domain "banana.local" needs to become the forest and "apple.local" needs to be permanently retired. I have been searching as to whether this is possible but the general consensus is "no".
However, many of the discussions are several years old and I am interested in whether anything has changed with recent updates.
As an added "bonus", a single Exchange 2010 SP3 server is present and - just to complicate things further - is a member of the child domain "banana.local". Mailboxes (shared and user) and DGs from both domains are present. Access to shared
mailboxes is granted using a mixture of users and security groups from both domains.
Is the best way forward to simply create a new domain on a fresh server? What would be the most straight-forward solution with minimal impact to the users and - in particular - the Exchange platform?
I am in a position to purchase new servers, software and licenses as required to meet the ultimate goal and - within reason - additional expenditure is not an obstacle. We also have the option to create new IP ranges if required.
Any ideas and/or suggestions welcomed!

It is not possible to detach a child domain from its parent. One of the things you can do is to create your domain and establish trusts between them and migrate resources from old domain to the new domain. Note that computer account migration will take some
time. For exchange part you can ask in Exchange forums but the one thing you can do is to Cross-Forest mailbox move after you set up the new forest.
