OK, well lets see what happens. If you still have problems then do both a SMC & PRAM reset. You should probably do each 2x.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

  • Session state and browser cache - Back button problem

    Hi all,
    I have a problem (and unless I'm missing something I think we all do) with session state and use of the browser's Back button. I really hope I'm just being dumb...
    Background scenario:
    Page P has a sidebar list allowing the user to select what content is displayed (e.g. 'stuff relating to X, Y or Z' where X, Y and Z are rows in, say, a table of projects). When a list entry is clicked, we branch to page P with the value of the list item placed in an application-level item (call it G_PROJECT). Reports on page P use G_PROJECT in their WHERE clauses.
    So, click list entry X and G_PROJECT is set to X and page P shows reports for project X.
    Page P also has a set of buttons which branch to various edit pages which allow attributes of page P's current project to be updated. These pages similarly use G_PROJECT in their WHERE clauses.
    Problem scenario:
    1. The user goes to page P and picks project X off the list. Project X's stuff is displayed (G_PROJECT = X).
    2. The user then picks project Y off the list. Project Y's stuff is displayed (G_PROJECT = Y).
    3. The user then clicks the browser's Back button. The page is served from browser cache, so project X's stuff is displayed, but G_PROJECT still = Y.
    4. The user clicks an 'Edit' button; we submit, and branch to an edit page which displays (and will edit) data for project Y because G_PROJECT still = Y.
    This is SERIOUSLY BAD NEWS - apart from being confusing, the user's edit permissions on projects X and Y may differ, and so the user may be able to perform 'illegal' updates.
    I've read what I can on this forum and the rest of the web looking for ways to a) inhibit browsers' 'Back' functions and/or b) prevent pages being cached by the browser, but none of them have worked for me.
    Short of waiting for browser manufacturers to recognise that the web is now full of applications as well as static pages, and enable robust programmatic control of cache behaviour, does anybody know how the problem can be avoided - or at least detected?
    Thanks,
    jd

    Thanks Scott,
    I may be being dumb here but I don't see how that would help...
    P250_PROJECT and G_PROJECT are currently kept in sync by app logic. Whichever is used to drive, if the page is rendered from cache then the app logic is not executed, so the rendered page contents are not those keyed by P250_PROJECT, as illustrated in steps 1-4 of the problem above.
    The user sees X, the session items say Y. The engine doesn't know what the user is seeing.
    when page P is POSTed, its hidden item P250_PROJECT should always be used to derive the application item G_PROJECT. Then whether the page was pulled from cache or rendered anew via a click from the sidebar link, the project ID is determined by the contents of that page.
    As I said above I tried this, with the 'Edit' branch set to:
    Set these items: G_PROJECT
    With these values: &P250_PROJECT.
    but it makes no difference. The project ID is not determined by the rendered page contents - the engine gets the value of P250_PROJECT from session state.
    I can code the 'Edit' pages such that they check permissions and if necessary redirect back to p250 (conditional before-header branch), but that's a clunky cure rather than the prevention I was hoping for.
    Please tell me if my understanding is incorrect.

  • Back up problems with Time Machine since I have Mavericks

    Since I upgrade to Mavericks Time Machine is not able to back up my MacBookPro.
    Not only it is slow but it never ends.
    Each time it seems to reach the end of the back up 150 or 200 mb are added to the amount to be saved.
    Without end.
    Before Maevroicks I had Montain Lion and it was fine.
    With my iMac I have no probleme with Mavericks ????

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message that corresponds to an abnormal backup. Now
    CLEAR THE WORD "Starting" FROM THE TEXT FIELD
    so that all messages are showning, and scroll back in the log to the time you noted. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
    If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the text field.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.

  • Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2009: back light problem

    Hey guys,
    I was hoping you could offer me some advice.
    My 13" Macbook Pro from mid 2009 has been having some backlight issues. Sometimes, after opening the screen, the backlight won't turn on. If I shine through the Apple logo on the back with a torch, you can see the log-in screen, so I'm pretty sure the problem lies with the back light.
    I have tried ressetting the SMC and PRAM, yet that hasn't helped. The only way to get the backlight to turn back on is to remove the cover, unplug the battery, hold the power button for 5 seconds, plug back in the battery, put the cover back, and then turn it on.
    So far I had to do this every 2 months or so, yet now the screen seems to die more and more often. As you can imagine, it's quite a pain having to go through this process over and over.
    Again, any advice to fix this issue would be fantastic.
    Thanks!

    I appreciate the response, but my issue does not appear in the linked article as a reason to reset the SMC. Resetting the SMC seems like something too radical to fix something that should "just work". My MBP generally takes too long to wake up or doesn't wake up at all. If it doesn't wake up, I hold the power button and restart. Very annoying, since my wife can resume work on her PC faster coming out of Windows 7 hibernation mode.
    Thanks, Apple!

  • Iphone 5 back camera problem after update to IOS 8. Focus doesn't work on back camera!

    My device is Iphone 5 64gb IOS 8.
    I have problem after update to IOS 8. When i run camera.. I hear some scratch inside my phone. And focus of back camera doesn't work.
    1. How can i fix it?
    2. Or how to rollback to IOS 7+ ?
    3. Should i come to app store with this problem?

    I'm having this same problem too.  Worked fine prior to iOS update.  I contacted Verizon this morning who advised that this is a known issue.  They suggested I backup my device, and perform a factory data reset.  When prompted to update to iOS 8 again, re-installation has been known to resolve the issue.  With all the problems with iOS 8, camera, and overall device slowing, I might just wait for a follow on SW turn.

  • PSE 7  Full Back up problem

    I have recently moved to a new desktop using Windows Vista 64bit. I installed Elements 7 and moved all my pictures across by doing a full back up on my previous machine (XP) and restored the catalogue in Vista. All seems to work well but having downloaded more photos I have tried to complete the first full back up on Vista using an external hard drive. Having calculated the space required when the back up starts I get the following message "Error encountered while writing file". I have tried several hard drives and get the the same message on each so I conclude it is not an issue with the hard drive. Can anyone suggest what the problem is and how it might be fixed? Many thanks.

    Some troubleshooting suggestions:
    1. Right-click the Photoshop Elements 7.0 icon in your start menu or desktop, and select Run As Administrator.  (On Vista, running as administrator is different than running in an account with administrator priviliges.)   You can often work around obscure problems with permissions this way.
    2. Try making a new test catalog with one pic in it and backing it up.  If the test catalog succeeds, then that suggests something particular to your main catalog.
    3. Try backing up to your C drive. If you can, then the problem is particular to your other drives; if you can't, the problem probably isn't permissions.
    4. Try disabling your anti-virus.

  • Back up problems with windows 7

    Hi,
    I am having difficulties backing up my files using this version of windows 7 64 bit.
    Like many others, windows is taking around three hours to perform a full back up each time instead of just updating new or modified files etc.
    Also, I cant see my files and folders that are supposed to be backed up.  I have spent two days now trying to get this right but just seem to be going round in circles trying to get what should be a simple job done right!
    Can anyone give me a solution to this issue please!  I have tried choosing files myself rather than let windows do this but still no good.  Also, these full back ups which are not neccessary, are taking up valuable space on my hard drive!
    Thanks in advance
    James

    As I can't exactly see what your problem is, I'll try to answer your questions step-by-step:
    1) On my laptop, a "full backup" (system image + personal files) takes around 1 hour for the first time (~ 4 G). All subsequent backups take remarkably less time because only changes are taken into account. It is not true that the same "full backup" is repeated
    each time; it's more like an incremental backup (definitions may vary).
    2) The backup is stored on your destination media, in a file named "Your PC_Name" (= name of your PC) which shows no extension but a nice "backup file" icon. If you want to see the contents, right-click on the file and select "open". You will be presented
    with a lot of *.zip files (compressed folders) where your files are stored (if you want to see them, double-click on the "*.zip"). You'll see that most (if not all) files belong to your \Windows and \User folders (and subfolders like "My Documents", "My Downloads",
    etc.). Program folders are usually not included.
    3) Third party backup programs may give you more flexibility and selections. However, I can't see a real advantage from these features. If any application software misbehaves, the better solution is always to uninstall / reinstall the software instead of
    restoring it from a backup (in general, you'll restore the errors, too).
    Understanding Windows is like understanding women.

  • Time Machine Back Up Problem

    Time Machine continually tells me that it needs over 500 GB of space to do a back up when I only have 125GB used on my iMac disk and that is if it takes everything. I can't seem to figure out what it's pulling and from where to limit it.

    Jason Vasquez wrote:
    Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist isn't listed in that folder.
    If Time Machine is set up, yes it is. You won't see it via a Finder search, unless you include System Files. It's usually easiest to just navigate to it.
    Also the only drive that are on my desktop are the Mac HD and the LaCie external I'm trying to back it up to.
    See what's shown for +Estimated size of full backup+ under the +Do not back up+ box in TM Preferences > Options.
    Also, Click here to download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. Copy and post the messages from one of these problem backups here. There's probably a clue lurking there.

    Hey matth1001,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Have you tried to do a manual restore and remove applications from the backup file?  Does it still stop at that number?
    I look forward to your reply.

  • AUTO TAPE EJECT and NIGHT BACK-UPS PROBLEM

    Hello
    I have installed OEL Linux and I have to configure a tape which will be used to back files automatically during the night.
    I have one problem which is I do not know where to start..
    My list of requirements is as below:
    Daily back-ups automatically and then eject the tape in the morning after all back-ups have been completed..
    A summary of back-up has to be e-mailed to specific users about which files have been backed-up and if there are any failures have to be reported. The back-ups are only for FILES and FILES have to be copied from HD to TAPE.
    How can I do this? Where can I start?
    Thanks for the quick response and assistance in advance..I need a direction or a place to read so I can start.
    Any Advice is warmly welcomed and will be thankful.
    Regards,
    Noel Alex Makumuli

    Well, check the tape vendor's web site to see what Linux applications they may offer. How do they expect this tape drive to be visible and usable with Linux? Perhaps they offer a backup application but if they don't check out the AMANDA tool from {font:Courier}http://www.amanda.org{font} which may already do what you need.

  • Elements 11 organiser back up problems

    Organiser asks me to back up my catalog which it proceeds to do.  Before it can finish the following errors message comes up:
    Error encountered while writing file(s)/users/user/library/applications support/adobe/elements organizer/catalogs/my catalog/catalogue.pse11db
    What's this all about and how do I correct the problem?

    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1050248?tstart=0
    First you have to understand that the organizer does not store photo files. It only stores the path (location on the disk) for the real photos. If photos have been deleted, moved or renamed out of the Organizer, not from within the organizer, the saved path is wrong but still in the list.
    - You have two choices : either use the file menu to reconnect missing files -- then select all -- then delete all. That will remove all missing files from the Organizer list. Alternatively, you can simply start a new catalog.
    - Note that if you have your organizer edit/preferences set to 'watch' folders, that means that all new files in the watched folders will be searched for and you will be prompted to import them. In your situation, I would disable this preference in the edit/preference menu so that no automatic process tries to import new files.

  • Restoring back-up problem

    I bought a new iphone from a friend. I did a back up from the old one on my computer (only lan connection) and now with my new iphone i cannot restore my backup. He tells my pasword is wrong, but i always had the same pasword. Is there another problem maybe?

    I did'nt do an i-cloud back up, but an Itunes back up, exactly like the description on the link you gave me. I can still see that my backup has been made today at 12h37. When i want to restore it, it gives a pasword error.
    I'm breaking my head on this annoying issue.
    Is there a 24h support line of apple maybe?

    In 617, I read somewhere (here? elsewhere?) that the backup doesn't backup the contacts when the contacts application is running. This claimed defect is claimed to be fixed in 623.
    But all are hear say. Let us know.
    Cheers. ^_^;
    Yep, I'm on the not so trusty 617 FW. It is very odd and has really annoyed me to find that when I restored from card I had lost all my contacts and the PC Suite wasn't quite up to date and I lost a few numbers. Frustrated to say the least. I will get the new FW as soon as it is avilable for my product code. Next year maybe?!?!
    Oh just to add, I did a backup when I was on 614 and it was fine.

  • TS3992 Icloud back up problem. PLEASE HELP!

    on my 4s, it says that my Camera Roll is 6.7 GB when i only have 499 pictures. and wont let me back up due to storage space. I know people with more pictures who do not have this problem. any help?

    Do what you should be generally doing - sync the photos to a computer, then you can delete them from the device.  Never trust photos just to the device or an icloud backup - too many users have lost photos that way.  Sync them to itunes...
