I found a fix for Babylon!

@Wim van den Hil Posted back sometime in march: " '''By opnening a new tab, how can I stop Babylon search opening
I am a fervent Firefox user and using the new Firefox 4.0 with great pleasure. However in this new version every time I open a new tab, it opens with Babylon search. How can I stop this. I want to open it standard with Google search.
Best regards. Wim van den Hil "
Well after his post gave me no answers I tried contacting Babylon directly & found a sure fire solution to everyone's problem. Problem is the thread was closed too soon and I couldn't post the solution there; so I'm making a new thread here. Please follow these next instructions:
'''Step 1''':Go to Control Panel, click Programs (software). Uninstall "Browser Manager" + "Bprotector" + "Object Installer" + "Babylon Toolbar on IE" If these are not listed then proceed to step two:
'''Step 2''': Open Firefox and Open a new Firefox window (website) > Go to Tools> Options> and go to change your order, the Home. ( f.e www.google.de) and click OK. > Remove the search engine of Babylon by clicking the small arrow next to the icon of Babylon > Manage Search Engines > select Babylon and Remove > Close Firefox and open again > write in the address Bar "about:config " and click Enter (It may ask you something about a warning just click yes) > Write in the search area "Babylon." > Right Click on any 'Babylon' preferences with the mouse and select "Reset" from the drop down menu. In the following video you can see how to change TAB URL : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yPX-ZJ5fQc&feature=related
I hope this helps everyone!

Finally I resolved my problem. Somewhere I saw a very technical removal of the browser manager but as stated above, it can be done quite simple. Thanks a bunch. I've read at least ten threads before stumbling upon this one. Happy now :)

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
However, even if presented with multiple prints with
the same name, the spooler should print each one!
The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

FOUND A FIX FOR ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 11.9.900.152

I have Windows 7, 64bit and Internet Explorer 11 installed. I found the fix for Adobe Flash Player after 2 days of doing everything. I thought that the fix should be something very easy and it was. I spent 2 full days doing all kinds of ridiculous things, i.e. uninstalling, reinstalling, restore computer, deactiving XActive, reactivating, changing stuff under internet options, etc. The problem was Internet Explorer 11 update caused Adobe Flash Player not to work or recognize the flash player, or installing a new router caused it not to work. Websites kept displaying messages to download Adobe Flash Player when I already did. There appeared to be a conflict where some videos played and other did not. Youtube did not work anymore. All the problems that other people posted under these forums happened to me. I could not play the games I was playing before, etc. Anyway, I am NOT a tech person and understand little and almost gave up when by accident I found the fix and EVERYTHING works without rebooting anything, uninstalling or reinstalling etc. as all the people in the forums posted. Everything was so complicated!!
THE FIX: Go to Goodgle Chrome browser. If you don't have it, download it. The Adobe Flash Player is included in this browser. Anyway, at the very top RIGHT HAND SIDE there are lines in a square formation. Click on that and go to SETTINGS. Go to very bottom and click on SHOW ADVANCED SETTINGS. SCROLL DOWN TO THE VERY BOTTOM and click on RESET BROWSER SETTINGS. After I did that, EVERYTHING WORKED!!!!!!!!!!! Youtube worked, my game worked in BOTH GOOGLE CHROME AND INTERNET EXPLORER 11. It was like a miracle and a simple fix.
I hope I can save some people ALOT of aggravation and frustration. Adobe should have this fix displayed PROMINENTLY EVERYWHERE if it is indeed this simple. Let me know if this helps. All I know is that I had the same issues as everyone else in the forums and now it is all fixed. I have very limited knowledge, almost none. It just seemed that something was blocking the videos from coming up.

Thanks Mike. I'm not sure what I'm doing but I also re-downloaded the flash player and I got YouTube videos to play again. I have IE11 that I tried to uninstall (it won't let me) so I had to use a restore point, so videos I noticed in yahoo.ca can't play but I read lots of people having issues with this. But, by using a restore point, and re-downloading the flash player (a couple of time until it took), I got Youtube and my game back on IE11. I plan to use Chrome Google though after this experience as everything works there

Found a fix for lightbox working locally but not on site!

This was reply origionally but I felt I should post it. It seems to be a common problem and I was unable to find a resolution so here it is....
I found a fix for something similar that occurred on my machine. I too was seeing no problems locally but when I posted it to my site, it just had the placeholder and no images....
Apparently, dreamweaver is smarter than the browser... (maybe incorrect statement) however..... the file extensions are case sensitive!
I had this-------- <A href="Img/CGM_1.JPG" border="0" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]" title="CGM Pic Set"><img src="Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG" /></a>
<a href="Img/CGM_2.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
                  <a href="Img/CGM_3.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
                  <a href="Img/CGM_4.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
Well, I didnt think anything was so bad, all of the colors were right I wasn't getting any warnings.... wtf?
As it turns out, and this is only because I just started a new image set after testing an individual - - baby steps - - if you use the properties bar at the bottom of DW, it applies a different case for specific parts...... i.e. this is what it produced
<A HREF="Img/CGM_1.jpg" border="0" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]" title="CGM Pic Set"><img src="Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg" /></a>
                  <a HREF="Img/CGM_2.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
                  <a HREF="Img/CGM_3.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
                  <a HREF="Img/CGM_4.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
Notice the HREF's are now UPPER case and the jpg's are now lower case. !!!! really?!?!?
Also, another thing to look out for is the folder/ in front of your thumbnail; make sure it is there. In my case I use my sam "Img" folder, not the "images" folder that lightbox creates.
Hope this helps, I beat my head against the wall for a total of 10 hours over 2 days trying to figure this out. I couldn't find anything on the internet. I'm going to post this so others having this issue get it resolved. I found those, just no resolution.

Thanks for your quick response
I tried what you said and I still had no avail...
There is a style.css file in the root directory but for some reason you cant access it...
I checked the file permissions of style.css and they are: 644
Its really wierd - I dont understand why it isnt reading...
Also regarding {www.care.cc} all of my clients websites are under the same web hosting service, so he set the default "404 page not found" redirects to {www.care.cc} which is their "Main Site" as such - I understand that this is bad practice but unfortunatley I have no control over these matters as I have limited access too my clients web hosting.
Thanks again for the Help

HT4356 Up photos mart c7100 series wireless printer does not show up as a printer. Anyone found a fix for for use with ipad3?

Up photos mart c7100 series wireless printer does not show up as a printer. Anyone found a fix for for use with ipad3?

It sounds like the features are working through the USB connection rather than the wireless connection since it is still not seeing the networks.
Everything points to a hardware failure since the steps provided through the private message did not work and the wireless test showed it had failed. Sorry.
You do have some options at this point.
If it is under warranty, either standard or extended, you can contact HP support at 1-800-474-6836 to have it serviced under warranty.
If it is out of warranty, you can still contact HP support to find out all the options and the cost of each option. However, it is my opinion that this money would be better spend being applied towards a new printer.

Anybody found a fix for the netstream.seek bug?

The bug I am talking about is only being able to seek to a point in a video that the play head has been before.
Here is how the bug is described at :http://www.brooksandrus.com/blog/2005/12/17/5-reasons-netstream-sucks/
"Seeking is super slow until all keyframes are cached. No bull, if you have a file which you’ve completely preloaded, the keyframes aren’t cached until the video playhead reaches that point in time for the first time. If I load a file and seek to the end, the player has to chug through all of the keyframes prior to my seek point. This is slow, slow if I have video of even several minutes."
That was posted 5 years ago. I have found the bug referenced in the following posts:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1917914#1917914
http://forums.adobe.com/message/692394?tstart=0
I would assume that since this bug has been around for at least 5 years, there would a bug report filed for it or a work around found. But I can't seem to find either.
I have tried multiple codecs and encodings with no luck. I'm having a hard time accepting that there is not fix for this problem. Flash has to read and cache the key frame information of the entire video before being able to seek to the end. Does anybody know where the flash player writes this information? Let me be clear, this is not streaming video, this is video that is running local off the hard drive. The flash player stores this key frame information somewhere until the computer is restarted. At that point when the video is played again, it has to read the entire file again. You can close and open the player multiple times and it will only perform the caching the first time and not again until a computer restart.
again, I am not trying to seek to a point that has not been loaded yet. This is a swf that loads a video off the hard drive.
One that that I have noticed is that when H.264 files are loaded, the player immediately performs the caching scan before it begins to play. When it is finished, you can seek to any point quickly. The time it takes for the caching scan is dependent upon the size of the file and the number of keyframes it has. Whereas the rest of the video codecs will play immediately but will only seek quickly to cached keyframes.
I have only seen this problem discussed in a few spots, with no solutions. it is a very old bug. Has anybody found a fix, work around or bug report on it?
Thanks for your help

The above is a simple test I put together. Use a large FLV for the testing. Remember, the first seek to the end will be the longest and you may not get the same results unless you restart or use another FLV.

I think I found a fix for Yellow/Amber Flashing Lights!

A friend of mine had an Ipod shuffle and it was flashing yellow and amber. I went home and restored it, which didn't seem to do anything. I gave it to him, and he plugged it into his computer. He was greeted by the thing that asks you if you want to delete your music or somthing because it had foreign music. He pressed, no which brought him to his library. He unplugged his Ipod, and sure enough, It Worked!
I do not no if this will work with everyones ipod.
I just want to help other people with this problem.
Thanks ---Mason

Has anybody found the fix for when audio stops working all of a sudden in FIrefox

I DO NOT want to restart Firefox - and YES - I have RESET Firefox itself MANY TIMES - AND YES - I have the LATEST FIrefox - AND NO - I don't have any conflicting add-ins / extensions other than Fire FTP - and this happens ALL THE TIME - Does anybody know a workaround or a fix for this that won't mean restarting etc?

ANY audio playing on ANY website through the Firefox browser - Chrome - is FINE so is IE - If I am plating audio through any other external source such as SoundForge or Adobe Audition - Fine - JUST through FIrefox - and this happens ALL THE TIME - ALL of a sudden - AND as i stated I DO NOT want to close my browser and restart - and have to save my tabs etc - AND again i have ALREADY reset Firefox - yet it still happens - Thanks

Think I found the fix for no downloading windows updates for HP Printers problem.

I thought I'd post a new topic here. I've figured out whats gone wrong with the windows 10 updates. Someone wrote about it in his thread (I forget the thread url though), and it worked. I've done this on 2 PC's.. W7 to W10, and W8.1 to W10. What you have to do is; 1. Go to device manager. Look down the list for Printers. Open up that arrow and see if you're printer is listed there? If it's listed as Unknown Device then; 2. Go to the HP website and find the driver for your printer on there. Download it through the website / program as though you was installing your printer for the first time i.e. it should check the connection of you're printer during this process. 3. Now you have your printer driver re-installed. Go back to Device manager and check that it now appears listed by the correct name in the Printer section. 3a. If there are other unknown devices besides your printer listed, you need to delete the other unknown devices, leaving only your printer listed. 4. Go back to windows update and retry a windows update (it asks you to install the old failed ones first, so try it, expecting failure, then press the retry button. 5. If all went well, it shouldn't list anymore updates, and you're done!

Found a fix for this: Unable to open Itunes Store on windows XP

Hi,
     I have been searching for this all weekend. For the last month we have been unable to connect to Itunes store. We can connect to the Internet and also access to itunes itself. I have phoned Apple as well as our service provider. No luck with the solutions offered. I have uninstalled and downloaded it again. I have done the winsock suggestion. I have disabled the firewall solution. I have gone into security settings and clicked enable the miscellaneous part. I have run as administrator. Basically everything from this forum and numerous others and also from advice from apple and my service provider. NOTHING WORKED for me on this computer. However on my Laptop which is vista the winsock fix did work. Still didn't solve my desktop until I found another solution and tried. Blow me down it worked. 2 days and hooray.....finally. I found this on a Geek website called "geeks to go" and I have cut and pasted it from there.
This is it.
Copy and paste the text in the code box below into Notepad.
@Echo on
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts popd ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1

Save as flush.bat to your desktop.
Double-click flush.bat file to run it. Your computer will reboot.
Note: For Windows Vista or Windows 7, right-click flush.bat and select "Run as Administrator".
Hope this one helps anyone out there that has tried most of the other fixes. No bugs or viruses from this...so far.

You're probably going to need to install service pack 2 or 3.

Found a fix for iTunes 10.6.1 store and connection issues

Been having trouble for months not being able to connect to the store and then after the most recent update couldn't even connect to the internet to import a physical CD (wouldn't connect to Gracenotes), import purchases I made on my phone or even to check for iTunes updaes. After reading some other posts about the winsocket concerns I ran a diagnostic and found a real player file called speedster used to enhance download speed using the winsocket. I just uninstalled realplayer (I did have real player plus btw) and BAM all issues with iTunes were fixed. Opened iTunes, store loaded and all my purchases from my iphone and ipod touch started downloading. Simple, but ridiculous it caused that much trouble and not been an update to fix it yet seeing months of problems out there.

Ha! Issue solved. The track not showing the arrows was a PDF in iTunes. All is well.

May have found a fix for iPhone 4 freezing/restarting/locking up issue.

Ok, so I am one of the many who have suffered from my iPhone 4 freezing, restarting and/or locking up on me.
I have combed through the discussion threads searching for a fix but never found one that was proven to work. Things like hard resets, restoring from backup, restoring from new etc... People would claim one of the above fixes worked only to return to the thread minutes, hours or days later to report that the problems had started again.
I understand that the fix that worked for me may not work for everyone, but I'm sure it will work for some. It is a simple fix that I have not seen mentioned in any thread and thought it would be worth sharing.
Fix: Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
My iPhone 4 was either freezing, restarting or locking up on almost a daily basis, sometimes several times a day. Since resetting my settings almost a week ago, I have had no problems!
It is the simplest and least inconvenient fix I have seen, so it's worth giving it a shot!
Good luck, and I hope it works for most if not all of those experiencing these issues!

My iphone 4 just started to warm up and the battery is draining quick. Closed everything and reset to no avail. Turned off bluetooth, increased push time and checked location settings for new applications. Weather Doodle was a bit suspicious as it had a purple direction indicator next to the setting. The only other new app I installed was Lego instruct. I disabled one of the 4 mail accounts I had that is having network difficulties, went to airplane mode and still I see %1 drain every 10 or 15 minutes. I'll remove the new new apps and reset to see if it is related to the new apps. If that doesn't work, I'll try email account reset at home wifi and see if that fixes the issues.
Thank you for the information.

Apple has found the fix for the whine.

After sending my MacBook Pro of to repair and getting it back without the whine being gone I have come to the conclusion that they need to include ear plugs with every MacBook Pro they sell. This is the first Apple product I have had any issues with (5th apple in 2 years) in addition this is my first dealings with Apple Care and let me say it was the WORST experience I have ever had. I guess I hold Apple to a higher standard then Apple itself does.

What noise do you have ? The screen induced noise or the CPU noise ?
I only have the display related noise (inverter). I demanded that it be replaced as I found ou it is NOT part of the logic board. I said I would pay for the cost of the replacement and did not want to get the "Unable to reproduce compalint" response.
The Apple Specialist said that would not necessary, he would request the replacement.
He did indicate that the engineers said it "normal" I said no way.
I have a box on the way.
When and if they repair it I will note the part number on the Service Details report to all.
Crossing Fingers! No fix and it is E-Bay time.

Found a fix for printing from Mac and PC using Airport Express!

I hope this helps somebody else because it's taken me hours and hours of frustration to trip over this solution. I have a MacBook, Airport Express and a Windows XP PC. Internet worked fine but I could not print form the PC via airport. I tied all the various links from iFelix (thanks to him for what sure seems like a lot of work to help others) but they didn't work. Here's what did...
To setup a printer using the Bonjour Printer Wizard:
1. Download the Bonjour for Windows installation package from the
Apple site http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bonjour/.
2. Install Bonjour for Windows by launching the BonjourSetup.exe file from the folder where place it was downloaded.
3. Start the Bonjour Printer Wizard either by clicking its icon on the desktop or by selecting Start -> Programs -> Bonjour -> Bonjour Printer Wizard.
4. Follow the installation steps until the Install Bonjour Printer screen appears.
5. In the Install Bonjour Printer screen, select Generic in the Manufacturer list and then Generic / Postscript in the Model list. This step is the same for any printer model you have.
6. Follow the rest of installation steps.
The key is the Generic and Generic/Postscript settings. I also set up the Parallels program on my Mac. These instructions come from their documentation. It's the only thing I've found that works. Hope it helps some of you!

TS1362 Has anyone found a fix for the ITunes stutter while playing songs in ITunes WinXp?

I have search for days to find a solution to this problem. As long as I'm not doing any multi-tasking the songs play ok sometimes, but do anything else and the songs
stutter. I am using WinXp Pro. I tried closing all the applications running and even change the memory priority...but nothing fixes the problem permantly. Can anyone HELP?

The stutter issue hit also some Mac users.
Somehow iTunes are computer-resources demanding to play an audio file.
