How to fix a text entry problem

Sometimes when I'm entering text with my keyboard it refuses to work. After starting TextEdit and typing a few characters (which always works), then going back to where I was, text entry works fine again. This problem is maddening!! Any idea what causes this or how to fix it? Thanks!!!!

Are you using a Magic Mouse with scrolling enabled. That happens to me frequently when I somehow swip horizontally in an app. All text entry or other use freezes until I reswipe back somehow.
Try changing the horizontal swipe from one finger to two finger in the System/Mouse preference pane and see if that will prevent the freeze.

How to fix the "MIME types" problem !

Hello !
How to fix the problem of "MIME types", Windows doesn't want to keep the APPS by default !!!
When I try the application by default (for ex. right clic on .PSD files and "open with"), then I validates the selection program (Photoshop.exe), it does not appear in the selection of programs by default in windows!
Result, even dynamic objects no longer open in my applications and all adobe files icon don't appear in explorer
Thx

I find a solution who works for me (Win7 64bit) !
Use a Registry cleaner (ccleaner) and kill old file format entry !
Now restart association with a .AI file, because the way to .exe is in another place like other apps !
Try this:
First, right click on your illustrator apps icon (desktop or Start menu) and choose "open the file location" and copy the dir ("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Support Files\Contents\Windows" for me )
Right clic on your .AI file and select "Open with", now click on "browse" to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Support Files\Contents\Windows" for 64bit system.
"Windows" say "you've got problem with registry file association" the correction's automaticatly and the illustrator icon appear in the list of default apps.
Select and valid him
Now, do the same for all your "unknown files type" with the good apps !

How do I incorporate text entry boxes into a quiz?

Hi Everyone,
I am very new to Captivate 8. I am trying to incorporate TEB's into a quiz. When I try to check the button (include in quiz) it is grey and does not allow me to check it. In addition I do not know how to let the programme know what text I would consider correct or incorrect after the student has typed it into the text boxes.
I am obviously missing something and would be very grateful for help because I am losing my patience ++ (all the videos on the web regarding this do not appear to be for captivate 8, only earlier versions :-()
Thanks
Alex

Hey everybody.
Im very new to Adobe Captivate and I try to create questions where the students have to enter numbers only. So I don't want them to be able to enter letters in to the field.
In text entry boxes I'm able to set it to numbers only. Is there a way to control this in quizzes as well?
If I try to create a new question I get only the choice showed on the pic below. Is there a possibility to add text entry boxes as quiz questions to the question-pool?

10.10.1.2:8090 uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided. The certificate is only valid for a id="cert_domain_link" please help me how to fix such type of problems?

sir, each time when i open my browser i'm facing such type of error certificate and closing browser at the same instant. i don't know how to fix it please help me

Hi,
If you click on the certificate '''Details''' it would show the root Certificate Authority (the topmost one) and any intermediate CAs that signed/issued this security certificate. You would need at least the root CA certificate to be installed ('''Import''') and trusted in the Firefox certificate database ('''Tools '''('''Alt '''+ '''T''') > '''Options '''> '''Advanced '''> '''Encryption '''> '''View Certificates''' > '''Authorities'''), though sometimes depending on the server configuration you may need all the certificates in the hierarchy to be installed.

Windows 8, Safari text entry problems (online text box only)

At websites like LinkedIn, Yelp etc. I get weird anomolies when entering text. I have to click out of the online text box and click back in to enter text.
I get:
No text when hitting a character key
Weird carriage returns
Sometimes I simply cannot enter text
I have not exceeded the character limit
Is this my hardware, Safari in Win8, the OS? I just don't know where to start and it's really becoming a problem.
Cheers!

figured it out - just in case anyone else needs to know how to get carriage returns - make sure 'show scrollbar' is selected in the properties.

How to fix an active sync problem

All,
I came across some issues with active sync that I could not find reference to in Sun documentation that we found a fix for. Read and enjoy.
Problem: Active sync stopped working for no reason
Reason: Too many users were attempting to be updated at the same time. SARunner was not running.
Fix: Manually delete the invalid TaskInstances from the database.
Process:
Stop active sync
Find the invaild task instances
Oracle SQL Code to find errors:
SELECT * from object where type='TaskInstance' and ATTR1='EXECUTING';
Delete invalid task instances
Oracle SQL to delete invalid TaskInstances:
DELETE from object where type='TaskInstance' and ATTR1='EXECUTING';
After this is done commit the changes to the DB.
Active Sync can now be re-started.
It should start functioning properly at this point.

There were no problems what so ever. The integrity of the repository was not affected. I did this as a last resort because nothing else I tried worked.
One of the other side issues we were having was viewing tasks. When all tasks was clicked on I was getting invailid Object references. The Object reference ended up being the ID of a task that failed to update users because of an invalid character that IdM can not apparently parse. We had about 16 of these entries in the table. Active Sync no longer worked. We made the decision to delete the records from the table, we backed up the DB, then deleted the invalid records. I also checked in the other tables and could not find reference to the invalid objects anywhere. Once I deleted the records active sync began to function again after is was cycled and the system was brought back to full operational status.
Apparently someone created a new security group in AD but when it was created they did not use a normal "-" in the name. I think the person used MS Word to type the name, in some cases word then substitutes a special character in for the dash that looks longer. This character was the root of my problem. I had someone go back and change the name of the security group and changed the dash to the right dash and that solved the root of my problem.

How I fixed my 4S battery problem

I do understand that most people will not have the time or will not bother reading through all the advice given in the massive battery problem thread. So I just want to repeat my experience here and I hope it will help someone.
Ok, my 4S is now working completely as expected.
I'm not sure which step did it in the end, so I'll just repeat my experience.
FIRST ATTEMPT:
I did the 'recovery mode' restore first (google for 'iphone boot recovery mode' to learn how to do this). After which I started from scratch (using a 4S backup should work as well) and disabled the often mentioned notifications (disable calendar) and location services (disable time zone) that seem to cause trouble.
After that I did a full discharge and charge of the phone.
That made a huge difference. The phone still discharged too quickly but it was A LOT better than before, especially when actually using it (as opposed to it being on standby during the night)
SECOND ATTEMPT:
And this is where the magic probably happened.
I did a 'restore settings' (which doesn't wipe the phone: General > Reset > Reset All Settings), disabled the usual notifications and location services again (see above).
I then used 'Battery Doctor Pro' to do a charge with trickle charge.
Went to bed, phone 100%.
Woke up, phone 98%
4hrs later with moderate use (email, texting) but lot's of driving (so network searching)
Phone 93%
Latest update:
I did my second trickle charge yesterday evening. Went to bed (battery 100%) woke up in the morning with the battery still showing 100%
8hrs later with fairly heavy use (emails, calls, text) and mast jumping (driving), notifications, Siri and location services switched ON.
Battery 80%

Better than it was....
New 4s and have done the following:
Restored once. Drained until dead twice.
Have location services on for maps, reminders, Siri & weather.
All location services>system services off except mobile network search.
iCloud & Gmail email accounts both set to fetch every 30 minutes.
Using reminders for diary and calendar events in notifications.
Went to bed last night with phone at 100% charge - 0 minutes usage and 0 minutes stand by.
Now this morning after using Siri for three instructions, receiving 15 emails and making a call for about 10-15 minutes, this is what I now have:
81% battery left
Usage 2 hours 51 minutes
Stand by now 13 hours 4 minutes
Not bad but it could still be better, so hopefully an update from Apple will correct things fully.

How to fix jaggy font display problem?

I upgraded to Snow Leopard from Leopard a few days ago and have been having font display problems ever since.
When I first upgraded, everything seemed fine, but then Word wouldn't display Arial. So, I validated fonts in Font Book and discovered a bunch of dupes. When I deactivated the dupes, that problem was resolved. But, a new problem occurred. Many of the fonts throughout various applications (Mail, Safari, Finder) appeared jaggy.
I tried playing with text smoothing and LCD font smoothing, but neither seemed to have much, if any, effect.
Then, I decided that I hadn't had a good font cleanup for several years, and maybe all the dupes and other detritus were part of the problem. So, I literally deleted all my fonts from system/library, root/library and user/library (I copied some into a .zip archive for safe keeping) and reinstalled Snow Leopard and all current updates. Then, I fixed permissions twice (though there are always permissions that won't fix) and booted into single user and did an fsck.
But, after all that, my jaggy problem still persists
It's really strange in that it appears worse at some times. And, doesn't seem to be present in all apps. Here's a screenshot from YouTube with Safari on the left (bad jaggies) and Chrome on the right (no jaggies).
I'd really appreciate some help. Any ideas?

Start with something relatively simple, like clearing the font cache files.
Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.
This does not clear the font cache files for Word (Office), which keeps its own such items.
Close all Office applications. Remove the following files. The tilde (~) indicates your home account.
~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.browserfont.cache
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11)
For Office 2008, the location of the second item is:
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Office Font Cache (12)
For Office 2011, the location is:
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2011/Office Font Cache

How I FIXED the black out problem!

I posted this in another thread, but thought it might get lost, so I'm posting it here in the hopes that it may help others who are out of warranty and have nothing to lose.
Please know that this is a very diffcult procedure and if you're not comfortable with the idea of possibly destroying your entire laptop, don't even think about trying this!
First, you will need to download the appropriate service manual for your model PowerBook:
http://home.earthlink.net/~strahm_s/manuals.html#pbks
Second, I would highly recommend that you go to your local Radio Shack and pourchase the correct tools. You will need a set of precision screwdrivers and a Torx #8 (I think) also. I also recommend that you obtain about 15 of those little zip lock baggies that they put extra coat buttons into (of course any bag will do).
As you take apart the laptop and remove the screws, you should place each screw set into a bag and label it with a Sharpie. Believe me, this is worth the time and effort to do this. The service manual will list an Apple part number for the screws as you take them out. When you reassemble the laptop, you will simply find the part number of the screw you need.
The Problem (Overview):
My screen would flicker between all black parts in the lower 1/3 to 2/3rds of the display. Adjusting the angle of the display would generally fix the issue until it was moved again or needed another adjustment. I used it like this for a few months before it finally was no longer fixable by simply adjusting the display. One day it just wasn't fixable by adjustment anymore. I couldn't see anything above 2/3rds of the display. previously, the powerbook had been dropped on the corner by the power plug, and must have caused damage to the display.
At first I thought it was a loose connection in the LVDS or video cable, but upon taking the entire unit apart, I found that the cable was very secure and no amount of jiggling it had any effect on the display itself. It definitely wasn't a pinched cable or loose connection in the cable.
I then started a search to buy a replacement screen. And upon taking the unit apart to remove the panel itself from the rear casing, I would preiodically plug the power back in and power up the PowerBook to see if anything I was doing was having any effect on the display. With the rear casing removed, I noticed that applying slight pressure on the rear of the screen on the left middle edge would affect the display and cause the image to appear again perfectly.
Obviously, I couldn't use the PowerBook this way, so I cut some narrow strips of rubber and used a glue stick to adhere them in the same spots where my fingers were. With the rear casing snapped back in place, it applied direct pressure to this same area, resulting in a perfect picture!
The actualy rubber pieces I used came from underneath the Airport card, so if you want to use something else, perhaps a strip from a bicycle innertube would do the same trick and would be of the same thickness.
Since putting it back together, the image is perfect. I have noticed that some [hard] direct thumping of the display bezel or hard shaking of the unit will cause some flicker, but in the past, even the slightest motion would knock the image out. So IMO, this is an incredible improvement. Since my "repair" I haven't had the issue appear once!
If you have no other solutions to try, and are somewhat savvy with taking things apart, give my method a shot. I'm just amazed that it works so well!
The image is of the rear of the panel. Facing you, it would be the left side of the screen. Where you apply the strip may be in another location. I don't recommend putting it anywhere except on the edges of the screen or you will likely damage the panel or introduce spots or pressure smudges. Good luck!
BTW, you may be able to test to see if your panel could be fixed with a similar approach by gently squeezing the sides of the display while it's connected to your laptop and watching for the screen to come back or flicker more. In my case, the squeezing definitely affected the image quality: when I applied pressure the image was stable. When I let go, it went to $hit.

I just switched to Roadrunner and am having the same "can't send email" problem. I have done what you suggested, but the problem persists. I did note that in my outgoing mail server box it says: smtp-server.wi.rr.com:jzelinger3 (Offline). I'm not sure where the "Offline" is coming from or why it is there. Any suggestions? I performed the following Terminal tests with a tech. support person from Roadrunner:

How to fix 3G/VVM/MMS problems in 4.0 WITHOUT losing all of your data

First off, I can't take credit for this. tekset21 on these forums mentioned trying a restore from DFU instead of straight up and that's when I started experimenting the last few hours.
I've tried this twice. It worked the same exact same way. I'm guessing it will work for you as well.
1) Make sure you have a backup to restore to that will work. For me, this was the backup I made just before I upgraded to 4.0 yesterday.
2) Put your phone into DFU mode. To do this, you basically connect to iTunes, Hold down both the top button and the home button for 10 seconds, then release the top button but keep holding the home button until a window pops up in iTunes saying it's discovered a phone in iTunes in restore mode. If you need more help google "DFU mode" - there are tons of videos.
3) Restore using the regular restore button. Wait for the iPhone to finish reapplying the 4.0 software and reappear in iTunes
4) Click set up as a new phone and then continue. I personally sent myself an MMS, verified the 3G data connection was working by using maps, and played around with my voice mail until it asked me for a password and eventually showed me my visual voice mail.
5) Finally I restored to the backup I made yesterday. Everything was there like a normal restore (kinda).
NOTE: Whenever I did this the first time it came back from the restore with no SMS icon. I cannot explain this. I could receive a SMS, I could send one. The MMS worked fine too. The icon even showed up in the task drawer- just no icon on the home screen.
Tried the above 5 steps a second time and said "what the ****" and just rebooted my phone- the SMS icon appeared. Went through all the motions again (third time) and the icon appeared again.
6) Reboot your phone (if you haven't already).
Doing all of the above got me my phone to exactly where it was before i updated yesterday. I wish I could test this and restore it with the backup I made right before I started doing this tonight (get my messages from today back) but iTunes does not give me the option of doing so. I don't know why- I can see both backups and their timestamps but iTunes just isn't giving me that option.
Hope this helps.

THIS FIX ALSO WORKS FOR THE EXCHANGE SYNCING PROBLEM!!!

How to fix a font encoding problem in PDFMaker for Word?

I've just been upgraded to a new computer at work, and I'm finding that a custom font I need is not appearing correctly in PDFs I create using the PDFMaker plugin for Word.
The font (Helvetica Fraction) is a Type 1 font with a custom encoding scheme. If I just print to the PDF driver, then look at the font embedding in the resulting PDF, Helvetica Fraction is listed as Type 1, Custom Encoding, and text set in Helvetica Fraction appears correctly.
If I use the PDFMaker plug-in to create a PDF from the same document and then examine the embedding, Helvetica Fraction is shown as Type 1 (CID) with an encoding of Identity-H. In this case, text set in Helvetica Fraction does not appear. There is text in those places, but if I try to highlight it and copy it over the Clipboard on my computer, all I get is strings of capital Zs.
So far, I've tried removing unneeded fonts from my system, clearing my font cache, setting different joboptions files in PDFMaker, reducing the output resolution to 600 dpi, and turning off as many advanced options as possible. Any additional recommendations?
My current setup: Office 2007, Acrobat 9, Windows 7.
Thanks!
-- Brian M.

I normally leave the "rely on system fonts" checkbox on. When I look at a Word document that's experiencing this problem, Word is not substituting another font for Helvetica Fraction.
Meanwhile, I've also purchased an updated copy of the font, which did not help either.

Text entry problem

On an opening page of a book I'm building, I simply want to enter text. I created a frame and began typing text in it, but InDesign insists on numbering my paragraphs. I don't want the numbers. How do I turn them off?

It's also possible that your Basic Paragraph Style has numbering turned on, either in that document, or in your default preferences. If it's that document, you can right-click and Edit that paragraph style, and turn Bullets and Numbering off. Or, if it's in your defaults, you can close all documents, and then edit the Basic Paragraph Style with no documents open, and the setting will stick for all new documents.
I'd suggest reading through the section on paragraph styles in the Help; they're incredibly useful & powerful, but also a little bit hard to understand if you've never used them before, and they can have unexpected results if you're not careful and aren't already familiar with how they work.
