Heavy frustration in multisim regarding refdes

I'm growing very frustrated with the way multisim handles numbering the components. I've been working on a complete design (capture and CAD) for a while now and am using multisim and ultiboard simultaneously. The board is basically finished both in capture and CAD. Someone asks me, "could you also add these pull-up resistors?". When I do add these resistors (64 of them in total in a separate block) multisim decided to renumber all my components so that all my component placement and routing in CAD was completely wasted and has to be done all over again. Is it "Forward Annotate" that messes up all the reference designators when transfering to ultiboard or is it when I add new components??
Very thankful for any help!

I checked that page and it seems that they direct me towards ni.com/ask for technical support. It doesn't matter, I am now able to reproduce the error every time and I do believe this is a problem that the EWB group needs to look at so here it is:
In the attached zip-file there is a folder that contains a couple of files. Extract the folder to someplace on your computer.
Open Overview.ms10 with multisim
Open hierarchical block X2 at the bottom (double click, edit hb/sc)
Note the refdes on the LT1990 IC (should be U49)
Go back to Overview.ms10
Move something just a tad so that the file has been altered.
Now press CTRL+Z to undo the previous action.
Take a look at the reference designator for the LT1990 IC again (it has now changed to U63)
The refdes changes WHENEVER I press CTRL+Z. You can also note that I've tried locking the refdes for all components (in tools=> rename/renumber components) but it still changes whenever 'undo' is pressed.
I can avoid the problem by never undoing anything. But working like that is kind of annoying since I keep pressing the combination without thinking...

Who do I complain to regarding an Apple iPhone upgrade that has taken my my full screen contact picture and turned it into a tiny circle that is hard to see at a glance!!!

I'm trying to find an outlet for the frustration I feel regarding the "upgrade" that replaced my full screen picture for my contact numbers to a tiny, little dot in the right hand corner. Are they going to give us an option to go back or did someone just need to justify their job by making changes??

How to view what session is causing heavy load

Hi,
currently I was tasked to view what is wrong with the production server, there's some processing that is causing heavy usage.
May I know how should I go about investigating this?
thanks
more precisely which machine, which sid, what query is causing heavy load on the db server?
thanks

Hi,
Better generate and statspack/AWR and analyse the report to find queries which are causing heavy load for the time period in which database consuming high CPU. You can use top command from OS level to check the process are consuming heavy load.

Aaarrrgghh! Campaign Automation Frustration

Hi,
I have been trying to set up campaign automation using the BP guides.
I have reated an automated campaign. However when I try to release the campaign elements it says due to mandatory fields it cannot be saved.
I know which fields it is referring to because if I populate them the error messages go away.
HOWEVER, in SPRO I mave marked those fields as optional!
Those fields are planned start and end.
Also the BP guide states that for campaign automation those fields should not be populated.
Does anyone know how I can solve this incredibly frustrating problem?
Regards
David

HT1338 Itunes, Mac Book, Mac Book Pro, Ipad, iCloud, iphones,i touch, iPods purchased. My accounts have been compromised. My documents taken photos, Conatacts, Business accounts and files. They have used my ID and know my ss # everything. I need to talk t

I need to talk to someone about changing all of my accounts. A iCloud account was opened not by me and I lost 17 years of contacts. I have slowly gotten them back. My files from my Mac Book were taken and are gone. It has cost me about 60,000 dollars in business since November which has effected my staff as well. Many personal ireplacable memories of my childrens Photos were taken, Business, designs and accounting and personalFiles you name it gone or corrupted. My main PC including 4 external hard drives, then the Mac Book, My Iphones,itouch. Ipad were next and then my Mac Book pro. This is very humbling and heart felt. those who work with me have very strong beliefs, it was an internal doing or I should say someone gained or was allowed access to my home and equipment. I travel and tour and am gone quite a bit. This was and is the most difficult thing that has happened to me in a long time. In truth business and work will and can be rectified that not the point. It's how and what has been done which is the most damaging very personal almost vidictive but I will stop there. I feel so violated and saddened at the same time. I am hoping to contact someone through Apple or even an outside source to see if my files can be recouped and how to go about doing these changes all at once without all of the emails back and forth to approve changes in accounts what a pain. I want to change all accounts associated with apple. Apple ID and Pass words, I tunes ID and Pass word you name it.When I leave for work now days I have to take all of my equipment or lock things in the safe. I have an alarm system that is very good in additons to, animals still with the animals inside the motion detectors are off and in reality the damage has been done . I now this sounds crazy but I have proof of my back up files not all of them plus you can see in my documents all of my business accounts which are in orderof complition and dates are empty. My email accounts were also hacked and thru that individuals were able to change at will. When you have over 20 years of an association and relationships they know everything about someone. I do not want to press charges but I am to that point I need to bring in someone to investigate and I really do not know whom to even call. I have won awards for my work and my designs and information being taken has hurt more than words can express. I am currently out of town doing this late at night. I have changed my banking you name it. I need to have access to my computers to work but the stress of these constant changes and invasion of privacy are beyond expression. I plug in any of my usb drives and they are empty or my computers do not recognize them. I plug in my usb connector from my HP 8100 Printer with Blue tooth capabilities and it pops up and an external E drive for downloading just like an external drive. My printer acepts every imaginable portable disk on the market . Many of my usb drives are gone or have been corrupted. I have this darn air drop that goes on all the time. My computers I turn off and then they are on when I get up. I can go on and on. I live in the bay area and I am asking for help in trying to stop all of this. I will call Apple next but I wanted to put it out on this forum with the hopes of some response or input. I have all of my new and very minimal recovered information now on a web-based server which I know is safe the pass words and set up were done very discreetly (one can only hope). I apologize in advance for laying this out there like this. I am just so frustrated and because of the POSSIBLE implications makes it even harder In which I truly want to be proven wrong. I have never written or thought that I would be doing this as it is. If anything I hope some good comes out of this for someone. Bluetooth is a powerful tool this much I know now. Wow this is just simply amazing. There are 14 products I have purchased. I have been a windows person for years because of my work somethings are prapriatary to that OS but I love the Apple products. I am despratley trying not to nor will I throw in the towel. I know its a great product and its not the product. I just want to have the best opotunity to recover and have control over my designs and pretty much my privacy and peace of mind not too much to ask..:-) Oh! do not get me wrong I am willing to pay for services thats not the issue here. Once again thank you for at least espressing my frustrations.

Report needed - Open materials on PO, sorted by material and not PO number

Hello,
I've been trying to obtain a report that can give me a list of materials that are open for all PO numbers. Instead of this being sorted by PO number, I want it sorted by material number.
I've gone through all the ME2 transactions (i.e. ME2L, ME2M, ME2N, etc.) and all iterations of the scope of list with the selelction parameter WE101, but every time it comes up sorting by Purchase Order and then listing the open materials on the specific PO.
I've gone through transaction ME80FN, which gives all the proper information I need, but there's no indicator in there looking for materials with only open quantities...it only gives both open and closed.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a standard SAP report that can be accessed?
Edited by: Andy Slania on Sep 27, 2010 9:15 PM

Andy,
I don't think there is one in the older R/3 systems. I don't really know, because I quit looking after I discovered SAP Query (SQ01)..
If a standard SAP report doesn't meet business requirements, one can have an ABAPer create a custom (Z) report. However, another path is to use SQ02/SQ01 to create reports that may meet the needs, without commissioning a new ABAP report.
In 4.6C it is possible to create Queries that have all the data found in the ME2* reports, but additionally can have ALV output. Of course, in your case, since you can define 'sorts' in queries, ALV becomes a moot point.
A Query expert can create enhanced PO reports that will satisfy most any requirement. If the query infoset uses a SAP database, such as MEPOLDB, then it is not even necessary to create joins of tables - SAP has already done the heavy lifting.

Why can't I download Free iPod Touch Apps from Apps Store w/Shopping Cart?

I have an 8GB iPod Touch (original model) with the current 2.1 software. I also have iTunes v. 8.0. The behavior I am seeing started about 3 weeks ago and continues with these updates - it was not like this when I first downloaded the 2.0 software and began installing Apps.
I prefer to manage my iPod Touch applications in iTunes. I have my iTunes account set up for a Shopping Cart, not 1-Click Buy. This is because for Music, I prefer to add songs I will want to my shopping cart, then buy them when I want to.
When iTunes 7.7 first came out with v2.0 software, even though I have a Shopping Cart for my iTunes, I could "buy" a Free App just by clicking on it, and it would be automatically downloaded and added to my Applications folder on iTunes. Then, when I synced with my iPod Touch, it would install the app on my iPod Touch. This was true for either new Apps or upgrades to existing Apps.
For the last few weeks, every time I try to update even an existing App for my iPod Touch, if I do it through the iTunes store, I get the following message:
"Applications cannot be purchased with Shopping Cart.
Your preferences are currently set to buy using Shopping Cart. Application purchases cannot be placed in Shopping Cart: they must be purchase by 1-Click. Select Buy if you'd like to purchase [NAME OF APPLICATION} by using 1-Click and your credit card will be charged immediately."
The [NAME OF APPLICATION] is filled in with whatever application I am dealing with at that time.
Why is it that even with a Free application, and an update for it at that, it will not let me obtain it with iTunes if I have a Shopping Cart? So far, I have solved the problem by doing all of my Applications management on my iPod Touch. I use the iTunes Store on my iPod Touch to search for and download the application. Then, when I sync, it places it in my Applications folder on iTunes on my PC.
This is very strange behavior for iTunes. Why would it want to charge my credit card for a Free Application?
Many thanks.
Joe

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reply. I do have a valid Credit Card on the account. In addition, I also have about a $5 credit from an iTunes gift card in my iTunes account.
In any event, I'm actually NOT purchasing anything. All I'm trying to do is download a FREE App for my iPod Touch. It simply won't let me do it.
This is extremely frustrating.
Best regards.
Joe

In SharePoint 2010 Document Library "Open with Explorer" Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer

Hi.
I am getting below error "Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer" while click "Open with Explorer" option in document library.
My system is client machine which is 32 Bit system and
Web Client service is also running and Window 7 PC.
Other SharePoint sites "Open with Explorer" option in document library is working fine but specific site is giving error.
Even it was working fine but not is giving this error.
Please help me on it. Its making frustrations.
Thanks & Regards
Poomani Sankaran

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got “Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer” error.
Did you enable the both authentication (Windows and FBA) on default zone.
As far as I remember when FBA is enabled on the same zone when Windows is used, it breaks whole client integration.
So it will be better if you will recheck your architecture and will use different zones for Windows and FBA.
There is also another thing to try: use claims based authentication with authentication provider which will work both with Windows and FBA.
What’s more, you can also check with below steps.
Use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
Add the site into Trusted sites to check whether it works..
Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
In addition, you can also try to enable Basic authentication on the client computer, by setting the BasicAuthLevel registry entry of the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
For detailed steps, visit the following KB page.

Cannot print PDF files on Mac OS X

Hi,
since some update from Reader 8.1 to 8.1.2 I cannot print PDF files anymore. Meanwhile I installed Reader 9, but with no luck.
If I crank up the preferences I get the error "Failed to load an application resource (internal error)." ... maybe there is something wrong with the installation, but even an reinstall doesnt fix it.
If I try to print I get only the message "The document could not be printed" and then "There were no pages selected to print." ... no matter what PDF I try to print.
The Apple Preview works without any problems, so the PDFs should be good.
Can anyone help me on this ... its really frustrating.
Best Regards
--Michael

I had this same problem. I did a clean install of OS X 10.5.6 to an USB hard drive, installed Adobe Reader 9, and tried printing. It worked fine. Then I cloned the external drive back onto the internal drive and it failed with the same no pages selected problem.
It turns out that my filesystem on my internal hard drive is case sensitive, but the external hard drive had the default case-insensitive file system.
To fix, do this:
Go get yourself an external firewire or usb hard drive at least as big as your internal drive. Plug it in and use Disk Utility.app (under /Applications/Utilities) to Erase it and format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". The download CarbonCopyCloaner, a free utility that can copy an entire drive. Use CCC to clone your Macintosh HD to the external drive.
Now that you have a backup drive, go to System Preferences and choose Startup Disk. Pick the external drive as the the startup drive. Reboot and check that your printing works properly now.
If that fixed your problem, while you are booted from the external drive, use Disk Utility to erase Macintosh HD and format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" not "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) case-sensitive". Then use CCC to copy everything back. Reboot.

Customer Service Problems

After fighting with Verizon customer service over two service issues without any possibility of resolution I am canceling my account.
I’m doing this reluctantly because as a long-term shareholder of Verizon I would like to see the company succeed and keep profitable. Yet I am appalled by the cavalier, disrespectful, obstructionist treatment from your staff in dealing with customer service problems. When you were just the telephone company and operated as a monopoly in a regulated industry, you had to take customer issues seriously.   Now that you are an unregulated telecommunications giant it seems that you don’t feel the need to respond to your customers. Someone in your company needs to hear this and put a stop to these destructive business practices.
In brief, the first issue involved arranging a service call for interruption of internet service. The entire process kept me on the phone for a total of 3 hours over several days. I have given up my land line and use a cell phone exclusively. Verizon’s communication systems and staffing levels caused me to wait on hold for 10-15 for each person that I spoke to. Then each conversation averaged 10 minutes.   In addition, I was transferred to different departments but I did not understand the reason for the transfers. Then the pattern of hold-talk-transfer began again. Several times my calls were dropped necessitating more repeats of the hold-talk-transfer pattern. Some of your staff were South Asian and they either garbled or misunderstood English, thus prolonging the conversation beyond the average of 10 minutes.   During that time I incurred cell phone charges of $.45/ minute.
After the service was restored I called Verizon customer service and asked for a service credit to compensate me for those out-of-pocket expenses over and above 30 minutes which I consider to be a reasonable amount of time to arrange a service call. They denied any responsibility for the amount of time it took to arrange the service call or the amount of time to complain about their service. I was not happy with the outcome so I requested to speak with someone who was a decision maker and had authority to negotiate a settlement. I also asked to have them communicate with me through email. I was told that communicating through email was not possible. These calls followed the same pattern of hold-talk-transfer averaging 30 minutes each. I repeated myself to 3 or 4 people who wrote down my complaint before I got to a manager who had decision making authority. The manager denied any responsibility for the amount of time it took to arrange the service call and would not authorize a service credit.
The second issue involved billing. I signed up for auto-pay to have my monthly bill deducted directly from my bank account. Verizon’s computer system deducted the bill twice, overdrawing my account. I incurred a bank overcharge fee. The same pattern of hold-talk-transfer began for this complaint as well. The customer service staff refused to take responsibility for this error as well. Their solution required me to spend more time and incur extra expenses. I had to repeat myself to 3 or 4 complaint takers before I reached the same manager who denied my first request. He denied any responsibility for this billing problem too.   I had to have my bank retrieve the money under a fraud compliant.
Verizon is one of the largest *communications* corporations in the world.  If your internal systems can't handle customer service calls in a reasonable amount of time, then there is a problem. If your customer service staff is unwilling to take responsibility for such inadequacies and solve the issues that emerge from them, then there is a problem. If a customer has to contact the CEO of the company to try to resolve two service related issues, then there is a problem. When all of those actions prove inadequate, then there is a *communications* problem.
Customer service has flagged my account and put me down as a “problem” customer. Instead of offering even a token settlement, they are prepared to stonewall me by maintaining that the company is just not at fault and that they tried to solve the problems but I wouldn’t cooperate or accept their solutions. Early on in the process, if someone told me that Verizon messed up just a little, but still couldn’t compensate me, I would have accepted that, albeit reluctantly, and dropped the matter.
This is not the way I do business and I resent it when others don’t feel the need to honor any kind of code. I grew up working in my family’s retail liquor store. From the time I was a kid I learned four customer service lessons that I’ve carried over into my adult life:
Admit when you are wrong and try to make up for the mistake.
Never argue with a customer over small things.
Listen to the compliant and don’t just dismiss it out-of-hand
Try to make things right even though you may not be directly responsible for problem.
For my two problems, Verizon customer service staff didn’t even come close to following these common sense rules. I’ve learned that if you ask their customer service people they will repeat back to you some type of business code that they say they operate under. But their behavior tells a different story.
Unfortunately when I spoke with {edited for privacy} of the Executive Presidential Appeals office, I was taken somewhat aback by his manner and demeanor, which was coarse and inappropriate for a customer service discussion, and which I found personally offensive. He and members of his staff agreed to send me emails specifying which part of the Terms of Service they based their decisions on. To date I have not received the communications they promised.
Is this the image of your company that you want the public to see? Are you willing to just shrug off these complaints as an isolated case that is too small to concern yourself about? I’m afraid the answer will be yes. Not only do you feel that you are too big to fail, but you are too big to care.   Customer service means solving problems not manufacturing bad will and resentment.
My purpose in writing this note has been twofold: to make one last effort to solve my problem and to hope that someone will take note about the issues about customer service practices that are harmful to the company. I'd be happy to speak with someone with real authority to deal
with my issues but have no interest in repeating my past experiences.
It's too bad that this had to happen since the solution could have been so easy and simple.
I plan to publish some form of this letter and distribute it to the public.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Therefore, I request to please clear this unacceptable due balance, and contact Experian to removed and clarified the mistake in my credit report.
RE:  Cancellation fee charged on internet DSL service charged by mistake. {edited for privacy}
A $65 balance remain for a cancellation fee on internet DSL service, by Verizon New York mistake.
In February of 2010, I set up my phone and TV in a vacation plan but keep my internet service active. After a month I had a vacation plan, suddenly without notification, my internet service was suspended and a cancellation fee was issued.
My final statement was $ 24.47. I cleared a check from Verizon.
I contacted Verizon online to request connect my internet service and discuss the issue on the cancellation fee. The response was that I should pay the internet cancellation fee, and paid a new activation.
After fighting with Verizon customer service over the unacceptable fee charge service issue without any possibility of resolution I cancel my home phone which was in a vacation plan.
Later I kept receiving the statement with this cancellation fee every month. I called and discussed the issue more than 6 times during the next 6 months, The entire process kept me on the phone for a total of 2 hours over several months. The costumer representatives responded that the issue was in an investigation.
Later,  a Collector company start chasing me to get the $65 paid. Phone number: {edited for privacy}, Inclusive, they made an offer to reduce the amount if I accept to pay or contact Verizon to request a clarification.
By the end of the year, I contacted Verizon costumer services one more time but the representative stated that the account is not visible anymore.
Convinced that the problem on this account was resolved, the second week of November, I called Verizon to reestablish my account with a new home phone number and Internet DSL connection.
The answer was that  following Verizon policy I was unable to get a new account if a balance remain.
After I explained the events, a manager (non-identified) who spoke to me by phone told me that Verizon will investigate the issue and I should wait for approval.
On November 16, my account was confirmed approved and clear of debt, therefore, Verizon welcome me back with Home phone and internet DSL Service and confirmation on my online registration.
New number:{edited for privacy} ; Email:{edited for privacy}
Also, during the months of January and February 2010, Verizon New York, made other charges mistakes in my account (See details below) that have been resolved with an apologize and a refund.
Events that prove the lack of training and support Verizon customer and billing service have.
Chronology of the emails exchanged between Verizon Ecenter and myself after I requested investigation with the charges.

Lightroom 1.1 crash/making timely backups?

Today I was minding my own business working in my newly upgraded version of LR 1.1 when suddenly with no warning my computer crashed. No indication that anything was wrong, just suddenly a blink and a black screen. I was running no other apps at the time, and no other device that was attached either to the same surge protector or the same outlet was affected, all of which makes me suspect that LR was somehow the source of the crash. This is especially so because I did some routine computer maintenance as recently as the day before yesterday (repaired permissions and ran disk warrior to rebuild the drive). The only thing that's been doing strange things is LR (as some of you know from recent postings on various forums...).
Some background: I am running a dual 2 GHz G5 PowerPC with 3.5 GB of RAM, on system OS10.4.10. I was working in a LR folder with about 6000+ images in it at the time of the crash.
After the crash I went to restart my computer and also LR, and LR gave me a dialog box that said my catalog was corrupted and couldn't be used. I filed a bug report with Adobe and got a helpful note from a Lightroom QE fellow (not sure what QE stands for) with whom I'm corresponding. I'm hoping they can help me repair the catalog, but no word on that yet. The same dialog box said that if I'd made a recent backup I could move it into the LR folder. The last time I closed LR (and hence made an automatic backup) was very late last night. This means that if I go forward and use the backup, all my work today (about 6 hours worth of work) will be lost. For the time being I have moved the backup into place, but am waiting to hear about the repair before I keep going with working on any new material. And of course, I am on a deadline for the project that is effected by all this (aarrrrgggh).
I was wondering if anyone out there has experienced this kind of thing and what you did at this point? Also, how does one go about periodically backing up LR without shutting the program down altogether (a rather disruptive and inconvenient option)? I feel like I should be backing up at least every half hour (I don't want to risk losing more work that that), and didn't realize my work would not be backed up automatically in a situation like this.
I recently undertook a major software and workflow upgrade, and almost didn't go the LR route because I was afraid that LR at version 1.0 was not that stable, nor did it have the DAM features fully developed (the other option would have been ImageIngester Pro/Bridge/iView a la Peter Krogh's system). I decided to go with LR anyway because I felt the DAM issues would be addressed soon, and since I don't have a real DAM system up and running yet anyway, it wouldn't hurt me to wait to start on that. I also chose LR because I am concerned about the future of iView in the hands of the new Microsoft owners. To get LR up and running I bought the D-65 LR workflow download and also used the Chris Orwig tutorials on Lynda.com.
Now I'm beginning to regret my choice because of the stability issues, and it sucks that I might end up losing most of a day's work when I'm on a deadline because LR might have pushed my computer hard enough to elicit a latent hardware failure (this was the suggestion of the Lightroom QE, which seems like a real possibility).
Any feedback, comments or insights on this would be most welcome. This has been a most frustrating week with regards to technology. All I want to do is sit down and do my work, but I seem to be running into glitch after glitch.
Best,

Jeff and others:
Many thanks for the feedback, its much appreciated.
Jeff, I understand why you and others say LR didn't cause the crash. It was Dan Tull (who has been very helpful) who suggested that LR might have been pushing my computer hard enough to cause a latent hardware failure, which does make sense to me.
To answer a few questions: The machine is a little over three years old. I have everything backed up on external drives (including LR itself -- I took the D-65 suggestion to get a dedicated drive and backup for LR). It has been hot in Boston of late and my computer has been doing funny things all week, but mostly related to LR (see other posts I've made on this forum, PhotoDigital and APAdigital if you're interested). One odd thing: I have LR sitting in a drive labeled Lightroom_Library, which houses the Backups folder, the Previews.lrdata file, and the lrcat file. I only got LR up and running last week, so I've been relying on the Backups folder to backup for the time being. I have been meaning to do some kind of drop and drag onto the secondary hard drive (Lightroom Library_BK) to do a backup of everything, but haven't done it yet because I wasn't sure how to do it correctly (needed to do more research, haven't gotten that far yet -- thought I might need to set paths properly...?). There wasn't anything on my secondary drive except some test lrdb files and lrcat files (I think). Now the only thing on the secondary drive is a text doc called mds-crash-state with the time of the crash shown as its date modified. At some point I designated that drive as some kind of backup for LR (again, hadn't sorted out the details yet). What's up with this doc on that drive? It must have been created at the time of the crash (hence my suspicions about LR).
Last night I noticed the computer fan was making loud noises (like it was a plane engine about to take off) so I shut it down to let it cool off (its been hot in Boston). Today one of my 8 external drives where I house my digital files would not mount, but I had some other problems with it earlier this week (I reformatted it and recopied the data it normally holds onto it). Jeff, is this what you mean about symptoms that my drive could be going?
Thanks again,
Paula Lerner

Cant go back to my live account on my W8.1 laptop

Since some time I'm having a yellow rectangle when I work with office documents saying I need to sign in again. When I do the rectangle still remains.
Yesterday I had difficulty reaching my on-line files of onedrive while their names seemed to have changed into strange combinations of numbers and letters.
I assumed I had an account issue.
I disconnected my computer from the live account and signed in with the local account with the intention to go back to the live account.
Now I'm trying to switch back to my Microsoft account and after I enter the local account's password and click "next", the window is stuck where it shows "Switch to a Microsoft account on this PC" ... "Please wait" and the rotating
dots next to it (also stuck)! I cannot do a refresh either because when I search from the charms "refresh" and the results come out, I cannot click on the results...
Please help with this situation since it is becoming frustrating.
Thanks

Hi,
Regarding current information, please first let me know if there is any error message you received and any error in Event log related to this issue. Post back for our research.
Then, I suggest you find the profile folder for the Microsoft account under C:\users and delete it, try to connect it again.
If it doesn't work, consider if related service and system files were corrupted:
Please run SFC /scan command as admin to scan system files.
Also, we can try to run a system restore back to the point when the system work fine to see if your issue can be fixed.

How do I get an old app of splashtop to work

I desparately need someone to help me.
Last fall I had a Toshiba Tablet, and I purchased the Splashtop app.
I just recently sold it, and bought an iPad 2 yesterday.
I am having all kinds of trouble, setting this app up on my iPad. Can someone tell me step by step what I need to do. I have contacted splashtop several times, with no luck.
I also had to change my router back to its default settings awhile back, and I didn't know if that had anything to do with it or not.
PLEASE HELP/THANKS
So far a frustrated iPad user.

Regarding Splashtop, that's normal. Regarding Facebook games, I think Photon might give a better, more touch optimized experience (I haven't used it myself) but using Splashtop to play the games would work as well, yes.
You might want to take a look at some of the iPad Tutorials on Apple's website that I'll link below.
