"harddisk problem" error message solved for su

After experiencing this problem mysef; my touch booting up, hard dri've clicking and then the recovery menu loading up, i have found what i can pretty surely say is the definiti've solution.
give it a whack!
as your player boots up give it a firm whack (not sure what side, mine worked on the left but i have read of others)
this should dislodge the dri've heads which seems to be the problem experienced
hope this helps!!

I came to this board because my Zen Xtra 30G had stopped working and had left me in perpetual recovery mode with a "harddisk problem." Everytime that I turned it on, I could hear a quiet clicking grind before it landed back in recovery mode. I tried tapping the sides with a pen (my dainty version of percussion maintenance) and removing the battery, but nothing worked.
Being technically inclined, I was considering a hard dri've transplant when I decided to give it one more whack. I knew the risk, but I had nothing to lose. My Zen is 4 months old and well out of warranty. Low and behold, it came back to life. My process: I held it in my right hand facing me and gave its left side a swift whack against my left palm. When I turned it on, the grinding sound was gone and it now plays beautifully.
I'm posting this because I had a hard time finding the exact directions for this "percussion maintenance" and I'm hoping it helps someone else. As others have warned, do this at your own risk.

    trying to launch photoshop cs3 on a mac running OS10.6.8 i keep getting the error message: Licensing for this product has stopped working  you cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT adminstrator or Adobe customer support for help
    I already Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and it still does not work.

    Hi,
    Try to uninstall the software again and you have to manually
    Delete the following folders:
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
    Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
    After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
    Restart machine and then try to install again.
    *** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem.

    I had to restore my iMac from Time Machine. After the restoration all programs are functioning except my Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. When I start any program in the suite the error message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I restarted the computer and tried again to run Photoshop and the same error message appeared. The message was followed by a message that stated that I needed to contact Adobe technical support and mention Error: 150.30. I need Adobe technical support to provide me a solution for my problem so I can continue using my Adobe products installed on my computer.

    Unfortunately when Adobe products are restored from backup, especial CS4 and especially Mac, it breaks licensing.
    There is a python script included in the license recovery kit that should work if you are familiar with Terminal.
    If not, you must reinstall your CS4 suite.  You don't need to delete your preferences, so it should be the same as before.

  • LIV - credit memo : error message shown for unit price variances

    hi
    In LIV for Credit Memo, there is no warning nor error message shown for unit price variances (price different from that in PO).  Request not allow to have unit price variances for Credit Memo. pls advice how can i do it
    thanks

    Hi,
    If you are posting a credit memo against a PO you cannot post it for MORE than the value of the PO, the system gives you the message that says something like, the value entered is higher than the PO value and so the PO value has been used.
    Is this giving you a particular problem?
    remember that youare generating the credit memo and so you can ask the vendor for whatever you want (although you may not actually get it). It is not like entering an invoice where the vendor is specifying the values.

  • My iphone 3GS no longer syncs with iTunes. The phone is recognised, backs up but then I get an error message: "Waiting for changes to be applied". BUT unlike other people, it doesn't stay stuck on it, instead the process closes down immediately

    Hi all,
    Apologies: I've just joined the community and didn't quite figure how to write a msg! Hope it works...
    Anyway,
    I read many posts on this annoying error message (Waiting for changes to be applied) in the last 2/3 days, but they all refer to the sync staying stuck on it.
    Mine doesn't.
    I read the message, then it quickly shuts down the sync and the iTunes progress bar only shows the apple...
    As suggested by many, I removed voice msgs, turned off/on, tried to sync in individual stages (calendar only...) but nothing works.
    I am up to date on iTunes (11.1.1.11) and have IOS 6.1.3 on my phone, to sync on a Win8 pc (all worked fine until recently).
    I have had this phone for several years and it has never done this.
    It worked absolutely fine, until I loaded the latest version of iTunes it seems...
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks

    ALSO, on the iPod under Settings>General>iTunes Sync, you may need to back out of the "iTunes Wi-fi Sync," and reopen it to get it to update.
    (I use iTunes 11.1.5.5)

    Attempting to upgarde itunes and I get an error message looking for "an alternate path to a folder containing 'iTunes.msi' location.  I've searched my hard drive and the file doesn't exist.  What to do?

    This worked...found on a prior discussion:
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page)...
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    From the link above (near the top of the page)....Under 'download locations'   click on 'download@majorgeeks'
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you just downloaded and ran.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Restart your computer.
    Re-download Itunes (latest version form Itunes website) and install.  It worked!

  • Fake "harddisk problem" error..... grrrr [zen Tou

    well it started 2 weeks ago on my Zen Touch.. i got the recovery window and the "harddisk problem" error. so i gave it back to the ppl i got it from and 2 weeks later i passed by and they said they didnt see any problem... and in fact everything was working perfectly.
    so i get home listen to some music and then i get the same error again, i shut the thing off a couple of times and it starts working again.
    20 minuts later the same thing happened, but now the error window is not going away. I doubt it a real problem because the harddisk sounds smooth when i turn on the Zen Touch, but its still not working.
    Anyone had the same problem and can help me?

    The same thing happened to my Zen Xtra 5-6 mos. after I first used it :angry:
    This is what I sent to the customer support e-mail:
    <SPAN><FONT face=Arial>
    The player was purchased on 2/4/04 but was not used until 2/25/04. Starting on approx. 5/3/05, the player would freeze and after the battery was removed and replaced the "EAX Audio" screen would remain on the LCD and a "clicking" sound was heard until the battery was removed and replaced numerous times. On 6/2/05 the "Rescue Mode" screen appeared after the battery was removed but disappeared after the player automatically turned itself off and was turned back on. On 6/4/05 the player froze and the battery was removed again, but the "Rescue Mode" screen would repeatedly appear rather than function normally after a restart. In "Rescue Mode" the "Reboot" and "Clean Up" functions were used with no success. The "Reload OS" and then "Format All" functions were used and each time the "Harddisk Problem" screen would appear and then the "Rescue Mode" screen reappeared. The website troubleshooting instructions were followed numerous times with no success.
    Is it because it is dropped too many times?:smileyindifferent:

  • RIM Twitter for BlackBerry Internal Twitter server problem error message

    I have had this issue previously, it went away and now it's back; and can I remember how I fixed it... no.
    I have a Bold 9700 running 5.0.0.680 and Twitter for Blackberry 1.0.1.7
    Since updating to 5.0.0.680 I have been unable to login to Twitter via RIM's Twitter application. I receive the error message "Internal Twitter server problem."
    I have tried the following to resolve;
    Multiple battery pulls - no change
    Flash back to 5.0.0.586 - no change
    Flash back to 5.0.0.442 - no change
    After flashing I have performed a full security wipe of the device to be sure its clean.
    I am able to use UberTwitter and other social networking applications without any issues.
    My BlackBerry is controlled via my companies BES. The Server version is 5.0.1 and I can confirm that the Value-added application policy is installed and has 'Disable organizer data access for social networking applications' set to No and 'Disable RIM Value-Added Applications' set to No for the policy applied to my device.
    I am also one of the Administrators of this server.
    What I would like to know is how to solve this issue. A search of the internet revels a number of similar issues, but these where apparently down to an issue with Twitter not the software. As I am able to access Twitter with no issues via other clients and see no issues reported on the status feed from Twitter I have run out of ideas.
    I have also fired up a number of the BB simulators on a development machine and have been able to access Twitter via a simulated BlackBerry without an issues; making me think this is either a BES, device, or carrier issue.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mark

    Hey Mark,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Are you still having trouble connecting to Twitter for BlackBerry?
    Since you're on a BES just to do process of elimination, I would suggest performing a reset to factory so that will remove the IT policy.  Follow the instructions in this KB article: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB18998
    Then test out logging into Twitter, if successful then we know it is it policy related.  If you still receive the same error, let me know.

  • Error message display for radiobuttongroup using report_attribute_error_msg

    Hi,
    We are displaying error message on the submit button of a form. We have different UI elements in the form

    This works fine for INPUT,DROPDOWNBYKEY,TEXTEDIT,RADIOBUTTON UI elements. Where error link is not working for RADIOBUTTONGROUPBYKEY/RADIOBUTTONGROUPBYINDEX ui elements.
    Is this problem is with WEB DYNPRO ABAP or am i missing any property settings.

    We are in SRM_SERVER5.5 with SP 06.
    If anyone came across during IMS setup, please help me on it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your useful answer.  I am getting error message while creation of invoice. But problem is that it is throwing message for all invocie, need to consider  if condition of  'GROSS_AMOUNT >= 1000 USD.
