Has anyone tried the "automatic windows update" fix promised to correct error 0X80240438?

i'm on a work device and do not have administrator privileges to try this out!!
fix located here:
http://www.askvg.com/fix-your-purchase-couldnt-be-completed-error-message-when-you-try-to-download-apps-from-windows-8-store/

I'm beginning to think you're right. My system update to build 9879 failed with an apparent generic failure code and absolutely no clues to help figure out what device is causing the problem.
Someone at Microsoft needs to provide some assistance with troubleshooting the update problems instead of leaving everyone to just hang in the wind!
After being faithful to Microsoft for well over 20 years I guess it's time to move on.
I guess I've stayed around and played around this town too long!!

Has anyone tried the new MS Oracle DataProvider ?

Hi all.
Has anyone tried the Microsoft issued Oracle .Net data provider? I am not fond of switching horses in midstream (have been struggling with ODP for a few weeks). I do not like the ODP for these reasons...
1) Documentation is really non-existant/useless especially where hueristics and 'gotchas' are concerned
2) it is a HUGE install (why I have no idea)
3) some things simply do not work (like my recent rants on trying to return varchar2's from stored procs and functions).
Is the MS any better ?
Thanks

Hi,
1) There is a pdf doc and integrated help which comes with the ODP.NET. There are a few gotchas which could cause some hair-pulling moments. Sometimes it helps to read the same doc several times to really know what to do.
But instead of wasting time reading the doc, the samples cover most of the typical cases. (i think it includes your varchar2 output bind case).
2) The huge install is due to Oracle Client 9. The provider needs several dlls beyond Oracle.DataAccess.dll and OraOps9.dll. There are some other oracle standard dependencies also. MS provider for oracle will have the same issue (I think they need oracle client install also).
There a few post where the `Instant client install` is going to solve that.
But the thin client (like JDBC thin driver for oracle) is still (IMHO) the best solution for the huge install problem.
3) See my reply in the other post. (try the sample also)
Finally, which some other posters have mentioned before: Good luck looking for help for MS's provider when you are stuck.

Has anyone tried the Yosemite beta?

Has anyone tried the Yosemite beta? Or shall I just wait for the official version to come out?

Beta OS software should only be installed on a test machine, NEVER a primary device, and honestly only by someone with a compelling reason (testing, development).
Yes, wait for final version this fall.

Has anyone tried the suggestion from the macfixit site

see my earlier post, "painfully slow connection".
Has anyone tried installing the combo 10.4.5 update from the mac support site.
my imac came with 10.4.4 so I assume autoupdate just installed the latest delta, but perhaps there is a problem with the installer and an incorrect library version was linked with the library. Just surmizing , but that could cause a problem.
Anyway reinstalling the update won't hurt anything I don't think anyway.

I tried it and it didn't do anything noticable. At first I downloaded the PPC version by mistake and it wouldn't accept it. A little more digging turned up the intel version. But again no change.
What I found that is working for me is setting up my router to work in "b" wireless mode instead of "g" or "b/g". It has solved the problem for now and since the speed to the router still exceeds that of my ADSL line I have noticed nothing but fast and consistent internet access.

Has anyone tried the Zeiss Screen Eraser on their iphone 5?

Carl Zeiss company is known for fine optical gear. When I tried locally to find a flat-weave microfiber cloth for cleaning my iPhone 5, all I could find was a kit with the cloth and a Zeiss Screen Eraser, made for cleaning LCD screens and touch screens. The Zeiss Screen Eraser contains a soft sponge moistened with a solution that does not contain alcohol or ammonia. The pictures on the package show what looks like a Kindle or iPad, a Blackberry-type phone, and a laptop. So far I have resisted trying it on the oleophobic screen of My iPhone 5, using only the microfiber cloth, which by the way is high quality, which you would expect from Zeiss. I would very much love for Apple to test the Zeiss Screen Eraser and see whether it is safe to use on iPhone screens. In the meantime, has anyone in the community been brave or foolish enough to test it themselves? Thank you.

Here's what Apple recommends:

Especially this part:
Keep liquids away from the product.

Has anyone tried the new retina display MBP with a projector?

I bought a new MacbookPro with retina display online the other day (hasn't arrived yet). I use this primarily for business doing presentations etc. Has anyone tried connecting a projector using the Thunderbolt VGA adapter? Just curious if it'll work.
Thanks

Similar problem. I used my macbook Pro Retina with my Thunderbolt to VGA adapter all through the fall, and never had any trouble with it. Just before Christmas I got a Thunderbolt display.
Since that time, whenever I connect the projector, I get a black screen. I can see and move the mouse, but nothing else. Other computers still work with the projector.
I'm not certain if the Thunderbolt Display has anything to do with this or not, but it's just the timing that it happened.
Grateful for anyone that can offer help!

Has anyone tried the GSP covers for MacBook Pro?

I am about to buy a 15" MacBook Pro & 3G iPhone and want to protect my babies Has anyone bought the clear skin from the SGP store? Any reviews? They also have a keyboard cover that's half the price of the Moshi one and looks identical to me. The SGP store address: www.sgpstore.com

Congrats !
Here's some information from research done in the past few days. BEST Keyboard protection:
Keyboard cover that is thin & fits the keys is called u-cover from a company called uniea. Also, youtube: "marware protection" or youtube: "macbook pro protection", you'll find the marware product which i liked, it covers the track pad and wrist area.
There are many choices out there, I like to find the youtube reviews and/or thorough articles that review the product over several months of usage.

Has anyone tried to upgrade windows 8 to 8.1 on mBPR via Windows store?

Hello,
Windows 8 is installed on the Mac Book Pro Retina Late 2013 (top configuration) via Boot Camp.
When i try to run the upgrade via windows store it reaches 89% and when it is on the "preparing for restart" stage update fails.
It reports that it couldn't install and gives this error: 0x80004005.
All Windows Update updates are installed.
Tried to go through many windows support communities and found that it could possibly be linked with primary partion being OSX and not Windows.
Unfortunatelly primary partion always remains OSX and it is controlled by Bootcamp in windows enviroment.
Would appreciate if someone can share with his experience of resolving this?

I've installed windows 8 preview with an acer T230H touchscreen.
I will not install it on the libretto.
The bulletin board is much more intuitiv and flexible than metro.
I'm missing touch flicks on windows 8.
There is missing a start button.
It's for only one screen.
With two screens you have to work differently:
- one screen for the desktop
- one screen for the boards
It's difficult to get applications from metro to the desktop. You can not make photos or videos or snippets. You can not turn the picture or resize them. There is only one board. I don't know how to add weblinks on the metro side. You lose mach time by switching the desktop to metro.
Im waiting for an update of the bulletin board instead of windows 8.
The libretto has a good combination of a Desktop Computer and a smartphone. Windows 8 is neighter a good desktop nor a good board for apps. Neighter Metro nor the Desktop are complete.
Please tell toshiba to upgrade the bulletin board!!! It has much potential and should be opened with an SDK for external extensions and applications.

Has anyone got the AirPort Client Update 2009-00 to work

As I have frequently posted here SL has killed my Airport.
Having waited patiently for FOUR MONTHS Apple have finally issued AirPort Client Update 2009-00.
It makes no difference to me.
Has this actually worked for anyone?

In my case, I bought my MBP with Tiger then upgraded to SL and it made my airport behave randomly soo I opted to roll back the OS until a fix is made to the issue.

Has anyone tried the Belkin Lego case on an iPhone 5C?

I'm wondering if anyone has tried the case. I compared my iPhone 5C to an iPhone 5 and there's was little difference between the two, but the iPhone 5 case (hard plastic case) didn't fit the iPhone 5C cause it's a tiny bit wider. I'm pretty sure that if the case is made of rubber it will fit, but I would love to confirm it before buying it.
I also tried to contact the manufacturer (Belkin) but they weren't helpful.
Any help is apreciated!
Thanks!

Mine is crashing consistently, whereas my iPad 3 hardly ever did. Mine consistently crashes within 30 seconds when I open this:

This *****. I spent a lot of money to upgrade from a heavier pad that works to a lighter pad that doesn't.

Has anyone gotten the automatic upload to YouTube to actually work?

I've read about a lot of people who have had trouble getting Compressor's "Publish to YouTube" to work properly, but no stories of anyone actually getting it to do it. Has anyone gotten it to work? And if so, how?

I have tried to get all of FCP's new social networking uploads to work, and they don't here. I just export the file, and use the Utube uploader. I don't think any of the sharing in FCS is ready for primetime:)

Has anyone tried the VuQube portable satellite dish?

Hey folks,
I just noticed that bestbuy.com has started selling a portable satellite product called VuQube. It looks like it works with either DISH or DirecTV. I'd love to get something like this for our summer camping trips (I'm not that big into camping) so I can watch some baseball games after the kids go to bed.
Has anyone used anything like this? Looks like you can take one home for about 500 clams.... not too shabby if they work well.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/VuQube+-+Portable+Self-Leveling+Satellite+Antenna/9075902.p?skuId=907590...
I'd love to hear some reviews if anyone has used one or seen it in use. Thanks!

Hello Shawn Barackie,
If you choosing between automatic satllite dishes VuQube & Winegard is a best ones on the market.
Look at this post about this models:
VuQube VQ1000
and
Winegard-GM-1518
Best Regards,

Has anyone tried the Hong Kong Iphone bluetooth knock off listed on Ebay?

I was just wondering if anyone has tried the bluetooth knock off listed in Ebay?
It looks alot like the Apple one, I have now offically lost 2 of the Apple ones and really do not like paying $130.00 each time I loose one. I was wondering if the sound quality was close at all to Apple's.
Thanks
Whit

My brother recently bought it off ebay. He is very unhappy with it and feels like he wasted his money. He said that it been failing to connect to the internet and that the music ("ipod") part does not work well and is not even comparable to the iphone.

Anyone tried the new Security Update (12/19/06)? Is it safe?

Has anyone ventured to install this yet? I'm only asking cause I've been burned a couple of times with these 'maladjusting" my machine. Just wondering if anyone has taken the plunge yet?
TIA,
Peter

It's okay for me. The update seems to be for Quartz Composer and Quicktime, so hopefully it won't cause as many problems as before...
