How Common Are "Lock-ups"?

Hi all. I just inherited a 20G "Click Wheel" iPod. It was my daughter's and it got dropped causing the screen and the HD to break. Since (long boring story about how omitted) she got a brand new one, I had the broken one repaired to use in my work truck. Half way through the first day, the 'pod locked up. I could hear the HD running but it stopped playing and would not respond to the click wheel at all. The screen was on but "frozen". By the time I got home at the end of the day, the battery was dead-o. When I connected it to my Mac it mounted OK and I was able to perform a "full restore" and recharge it. Then I moved my playlists back on to it and it seems to be working fine again. But I am wondering if this is common. I see a lot of posts about 'pods freezing up during file transfers but not about them simply locking up during use. BTW, I am using a Griffin iTrip in my truck.
Thanx

There are an estimated 70 million Macs running in the world. 40% of them are running Mavericks**. So that's 28 million computers running Mavericks.
Even if there were 1000 threads here with problems, that would represent 0.000036% of the user base. Of course, that's no comfort when a genuine OS bug hits you. (And many of the problems posted here are not OS bugs.)
** For the record, 21% are Mountain Lion, 19% on Lion, 18% on Snow Leopard.

  • I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them

    I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them or get them out of my trash and they keep multiplying. And to make matters worse, I tried renaming them as pdf files thinking that might do the trick.

    oh boy ! I'd ask you if you knew what kind of files they were or where they came from, but I don't think you could help me a bunch. Try going to the Utilities folder and running Disk Utilities.  If you want to empty the Trash and it won't empty, go to the finder and choose "secure Empty trash". Worse case scenario-you may have to reinstall Snow Leopard, but I don't know what else to suggest. If you have a DVD of Snow Leopard, boot up from that,  and reinstall the OS. This will not touch the stuff you have on your Hard Drive, then you can update from 10.6 to 10.6.8, otherwise Onyx? Maybe those files are part of the OS which needs them to keep running.  if you hold down the Shift key on reboot, you can reboot in Safe mode and maybe you can take the files out of the trash that way
    good luck

    Regards,

    If all the users are locked , they can only be unlocked via sql.
    Actually waht happens is if the uflag field of an user in table usr02 is 0 then the user is unlocked. Different values of the uflag field in table USR02 mean:
    0          User not locked
    32         Locked by CUA central administrator
    64         Locked by administrator
    128       Locked after failed logon
    Incase all the users are locked execute the following sql to unlock them
    update sap<sid>.usr02   (means update sapd01.usr02 or sapq01.usr02 etc)
    set uflag='0' ;
    commit.;
    This unlocks all the users.
    update sap<sid>.usr02
    set uflag='0' where bname='xxx';
    commit.;
    This unlocksonly the user xxx.

  • In PS6 Navigator and Layers windows are locked together.  How do I unlock them?

    Whenever I open the Navigator and Layers windows in PS6, they are locked together side by side.
    Does anyone know how to unlock them.  This doesn't happen when I open any other windows.
    I'm using a PC.

    Is that photoshop 6 or photoshop cs6?
    Generally one can just separate them by dragging the name of the panel.
    (i.e. drag on the Navigator name)
    In photoshop cs6 you can reset the workspace by going to Window>Workspace or if you have a custom arrangement of your panels, you
    should get everything as you want it and then save your own named workspace, so you can reset it whenever things going awry.

  • If multiple users will be using the same iPad, how can I lock it so the settings cannot be changed, specifically the languages(students are changing the languages)?

    If multiple users will be using the same iPad, how can I lock it so the settings cannot be changed, specifically the languages(students are changing the languages)?

    Even with Apple Configurator most of the settings cannot be locked, and that includes the language settings. Most schools and organizations seem to just accept that they'll have to reconfigure the iPads on a regular basis.

  • How to disable addressbook access for common area phones

    Hi,
    Please try to add the msRTCSIP-GroupingID attribute on the Contact for Lync users, then test the issue again.
    The basic premise is you can define groups of users in your organizations and assign them different groupingIds. 
    A groupingId is simply a guid and only users who have the same groupingId may search for each other. 
    To set the groupingId for a user, you must set the value of msRTCSIP-GroupingId in Active Directory.
    More details:

  • How can you tell if guides are locked?

    It sure would be nice if I could tell at a glance if my guides are locked. Is this something I've missed?
    (Please don't tell me to go to View > Guides > Lock Guides. I know that. I want to know if I can tell Illustrator to display the locking status of the guides in some control panel.)

    Selected guides should become light blue when they're selected. My guides are using the default color of cyan and the guide on the right is selected in the image below.
    If you have your guides set to the light blue selection inside the Guides Color drop down menu then you won't see a difference because that specific light blue is the color the guide changes to when it's selected. You can also click on the swatch in the Guides and Grids preferences to select any color you want from a color picker.
