Hotsync User ID being changed without input from me!

As far as I know -- with evidence in my data directories -- when I got my Tungsten I set it up with the user name "Wendy". A couple of days ago, when I got a handheld software registration code based on giving that to the software vendor as my user name, it would not work. When I investigated I found that the Hotsync User ID in my desktop software was "2008". Today, New Year's day, when I went to open another desktop component, SplashID, I found that all the data was gone. Lo and behold, when I went to do a restore, I found data folders for Wendy, 2008, and 2009! I then looked at the Palm desktop app and found that the Hotsync User ID there is now "2009"! Why is this happening and what can I do to nail down the user ID that I want?
Please note that I have also been suffering from periodic loss of my non-recurring calendar data. It seems to  occur  whenever  an overnight Windows update takes place that causes my computer to reboot. Using the advice given in the posts responding to my previous message in these help forums, I have -- so far -- always been able to restore the data. I do not recall whether this and the change of hotsync user name started at the same time.

Look on your handheld in hotsync and verify the hotsync name in the upper right corner. This is the name hotsync and Palm desktop usues to ID the handheld for sync'ing.
At this point, I am not sure what is causing the username to change.
Are you using Palm desktop 6.2? If you are then you need to close Palm desktop if you are not using it. If you leave it open during a system, virus, or any other type of update, it can cause loss of data. This usually occurs with Palm desktop 6.2.

  • Starting over after Hotsync User ID being changed without input from me!

    I posted the following message in the Hotsynch section of these forums on Jan 1 and have not yet had an answer; since then the situation has changed, but I want to provide the original circumstances as background:

I do not recall whether this and the change of hotsync user name started at the same time.
    When I got no answer on the forum by the afternoon of Jan2, I sought help viaPalm's online chat. The person who helped me was very patient given the profusion and confusion of user names/IDs but ultimately when I had followed his instructions re deleting Palm Desktop 6.2.2, reinstalling it and synching, the synch just hangs on the databook synch. Since then I have done a clean uninstall according to the instructions for clean Vista uninstalls posted by cygnusX1 on 12-30-2008 04:06 PM in the thread "Syncs fine -- missing all data in Desktop App". The only thing that I did differently was to use the Windows uninstall process before I started manual deletions.
    My current situation: I have no Palm Desktop software installed on my Vista PC although the desktop versions of some -- but not all of other Palm apps still work. I have a backup of the "Wendy" directory with Palm data stored on my Windows desktop. I have a Tungsten E2 with calendar, addressbook, memos, todos and data from two of the Splash apps and Diet Assistant. The current name on the handheld is "2008". I would like to end up with a Palm desktop and handheld with user name "Wendy". Any advice on how to proceed to that point with minimal data loss would be appreciated..

    Regarding your "Wendy" backup, is this a backup from a version of Palm desktop prior to using Palm desktop 6.2? If it is, you will need to install the version you used with the "Wendy" username. After the install, copy the username folder into the Palm folder in c-programs-palm. Open Palm desktop and see if the data is there. If you are still having a problem, create the username "Wendy" in Palm desktop, delete the username on the handheld and then when you sync it will ask for the username to sync with, select "Wendy" and continue the sync.
    You can erase the username on your handheld using the procedure in the following link;
    http://kb.palmone.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,kb=PalmSupportKB,t=ooccase,case=obj(24485)
    After you go through this procedure, tap on hotsync on the handheld and in the upper right corner is the username assigned to the handheld. If the delete procedure was done correctly, there will be no username in the upper right corner. You can then sync to to Palm desktop and select the username to sync to.
    If you have the data on the handheld, you may want to install Palm desktop, create the "Wendy" username in Palm desktop, erase the username on the handheld and then sync to Palm desktop.

  • Technician times being changed without notice

    Has anyone else had a 4-7pm appointment with a technician being changed that is also having the night time slow download speed? My appointment was suppose to be 4-7 on friday and the only reason I found out was because we were having the same slow speed again last night and the supervisor said we will need to wait until the technician gets out there friday i see he is scheduled from 10-2... when the problem isn't happening. just curious if this is also an ongoing issue where they shuffle technicians to only make visits when the infrastructure can handle the speed test.

    Unless you urge the technician to come 7-10pm, there's no guarantee you'll encounter the download speed drop. Let's say your appointment is set from 4-7. Even if they didn't move your appointment, the technician could just come in at 4pm and based on my experience the slow down doesn't start until 5:30pm-ish. 
    Oh, and you have to give'em a high five for coming early and on time. Bonus.
    I've no idea how we can get this thing resolved.

  • Change tv input from s video to hdmi

    Does anyone know if you can change the tv input from the s video cable to use the HDMI as input for watching TV on the Touchsmart 600-1050? The s video works ok but I thought that I read somewhere that you should be able to use the HDMI as an input source. So How do you change the tv tuner to use the HDMI instead of the S video cable? Thanks.
    This question was solved.

    There is a toggle button on the back right above the HDMI port which allows to go back and forth.

  • FMLE Bug: Encoder changes video input from Composite to SVHS

    I have a video signal on the Composite input of my video card and I am encoding using FMLECmd.exe
    The problem is that when I change the video input to "Composite" using the Video Device's Property Pages,
    FMLECmd.exe sets it back to SVideo again after it stops encoding.
    So, before each encode I need to bring up the Property Pages go and change the input to "Composite" again.
    How can I work around this FMLECmd bug, any ideas?
    Thanks.

    FMLE saves Advance Device Property settings in profile file. When you change Input type to Comosite, make sure that you save a profile for that setting.
    Next time when you start FMLECmd, start it with saved profile and it should work with Compsite input this time.
    What you were doing is probably not closing FMLE after making changes in Device property page due to which settings are not getting saved in startup.xml profile and next time when FMLECmd starts with startup.xml by default it was loading prevoius settings having SVideo input.
    So try closing FMLE GUI after changing device property page and then start FMLECmd with stratup.xml file or save these settings in some other proifle file and start FMLECmd with saved profile file
    Let me know if this works for you?

  • CS4 Bridge opens 16bit, is resizing without input from me

    Photoshop expert changed settings on me, Bridge now opens all photos in 16bit, I don't know how to change back to 8bit automatic opening like it used to be.  Now there is a new after three years of no such problem: I convert a 8x10 to 8 bit, change rez to 72 dpi from 240dpi, save it but when I reopen it it's back to 240dpi and a thumbnail size.  Cannot get size/rez changed.  Where do I start? 10.8 Mac equipment, these are all new problems with no changes I'm aware of.

    Photoshop expert changed settings on me, Bridge now opens all photos in 16bit,
    I don't know how to change back to 8bit automatic opening like it used to be. 
    When opening a Raw file in Adobe Camera Raw (that is the plug in that is
    used by both PS and Bridge to convert Raw files) there is a small blue line
    at the bottom of the window. Inhere is a menu where you can change the
    setting back form 16 to 8 bit, also the default dpi setting can be set here.
    Now there is a new after three years of no such problem: I convert a 8x10 to 8
    bit, change rez to 72 dpi from 240dpi, save it but when I reopen it it's back
    to 240dpi and a thumbnail size.  Cannot get size/rez changed.  Where do I
    start? 10.8 Mac equipment, these are all new problems with no changes I'm
    aware of.
    You need to be a bit more specific inhere, do you use PS to change the
    size?, can you describe exactly what you do to change it?

  • Mac's clock being changed after rebooting from XP in FAT32

    Hi everyone, I understand that some people have issues with boot camp not being able to find Windows during startup while holding the 'Option' button - I'm stucked with that too unfortunately. But here's another thing, has anyone notice that the clock under Mac would constantly change after it is loaded back in Leopard, after using XP? I seem to have this problem. After finishing using Windows and booting back into Mac using the BT's control panel, my Mac's clock is like a few hours behind and I constantly have to click on it to change it back. Funny no? Anybody having this issue - using the FAT32 or NTSF format?

    Lol.
    I'm sorry but that genius is waaaay off. it has nothing to do with windows, it has to do with the way EACH OS stores the time in the hardware EFI/BIOS
    Its a known issue with using two different platforms
    OSX reads time for the time zone its selected windows doesnt think it needs to change all the time, so it creates its based off the previous changes in BIOS/EFI
    The time should auto-adjust in Windows/OSX or just click Update Time in either
    icrosoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems handle your computer's date and time information differently, so the date and time may be different when you switch operating systems. For best results, use a network time server and resync the date and time whenever you switch operating systems. In Mac OS X, use the “Set date & time automatically” option in the Date & Time preferences. In Microsoft Windows, click the Update Now button in the “Date and Time Properties” control panel.

  • Password changed without authorization from me.

    I attempted to sign into my adobe photoshop and was prompted with a "warning" that my password had been changed for my protection,  I followed the instruction to reset my password. Once I tried to sign in with my new password I then was prompted with a error 400 message.  Why?  I am completely locked out of my account and have no access to MY personsonal photos!  Does anyone have any info that can help me regain access to my account? Thanks in advance.

    You are confusing two different issues. The password change is because adobe got hacked this summer and people's information was stolen. If you ever bought anything  directly from adobe, you should be monitoring your credit card accounts very carefully.
    That, however, has nothing at all to do with your problem logging in. I presume you are talking about PSE 8, 9, or 10 and are trying to log into photoshop.com, which has been dead and gone for a long time now. You should have received a bunch of emails about any photos there getting moved to Adobe Revel, but you can't access revel from within those versions of PSE. The solution is basically to turn off syncing and to stop using the welcome screen:

  • Feature Changes Without Consent

    Unlimited data for web, have been authorized by Verizon without consent and they are unable to change it on there end. CS had been insubordinate and needs to request through there IRP( inactive pricing request) department for changes, in the mean time their bill which proof explains the history of usages per line and needs  to wait for the request to go through.  Unacceptable per customer satisfaction.

    Why does it need to take so long for the request to be submitted, when there is already proof of eligibility? the decision should already be made because of history bill, no upgrade was made only a replacement. "special team" is inexcusable, customer service should be able to do it per eligibility, history of bills, and form changes, without consent from the participant customer, why were changes made in the first place? the system should not be automated that way without permission from the customer

  • System Preferences Changing Without User Input

    I have one user who has had random system preferences change without her input.
    She is a network user connecting to a Lion 10.7.5 Server via OD.
    Her desktop is Lion - 10.7.4
    Example:  Today her setting for Security and Privacy to require a password on screen saver wake-up was changed/no longer checked.
    Her setting to be able to use a right click on her mouse changed 3x last week without input.
    Any ideas?

    If you are asking if the user is defined more than once, the answer is no.  Just one entry.

  • Office 365 AAD Password Writeback not working; Event Viewer Error: 0x80230619 (A restriction prevents the password from being changed to the current one specified.)

    Hello all,
    I'm currently setting up a Proof Of Concept setup with directory synchronisation and password syncing to Office 365, leveraging AAD Premium for the password reset and password writeback to on premises
    AD functionality. Directory Sync + Password Sync is working flawlessly with the AADSync tool. However, upon requesting a password reset for a user, I'm hitting a password writeback error. The webpage states that the password does not meet the password
    complexity policy, while it does. I can set that particular password for that account at the on premises AD without any problem.
    In the event viewer at the AADSync server, I'm seeing this Error pop up whenever I try to reset the password:
    An unexpected error has occurred during a password set operation.  "BAIL: MMS(4032): ..\server.cpp(11003): 0x80230619 (A restriction prevents the password from being changed
    to the current one specified.) Azure AD Sync 1.0.0475.1202"
    My Setup:
    Windows Server 2012 AD with a single forest
    Seperate domain joined Windows Server 2012 for AADSync tool
    AADSync version 1.0.0475.1202 with options password sync, password writeback enabled
    Service account for AADSync tool with Replicating Directory Changes and Replicating Directory Changes All permissions
    on root AD forest structure with inheritance to all objects. This account also has the permissions to Change Password and Reset Password on all descendant
    User Objects.
    AAD Premium for my office 365 tenant
    AAD Premium licenses for the test users and the office 365 account used to sync to Office 365. This account is also Global Admin.
    Could anyone help me with this? Is there something I’m missing here? My guess is that the AAD is not trusted or the service account for AADSync tool does not have the proper permissions. I’ve tried
    many options, like setting the AADSync Service account to Enterprise Admin or granting the service account Full Control over that particular user.

    Concerning my issue:
    The Default Group Policy setting: Minimum Password Age is set at 1 day. As I was testing this feature with new users, their provisioned passwords were less than 24 hours old and the Minimum Password Age of 1 prevented the change of the password.
    After changing this to 0 days in the Default Group Policy, my password resets started working for newly created users. While this might not have affected existing users in production, it had me looking and searching for permission issues on my AD.
    So for those that might be experiencing ADSync Event ID 6329 and PasswordResetService Event ID 33008 Errors when trying to do a Password Reset using AAD Premium with Password Writeback, it might be helpful to check the applied password policy.
    The issue is solved.
