Hi. The buttons and wheel of my iPod 4th generation do not work. The hold button resets the iPod, and the shuffle shake works. The music plays by shuffling but I can't access albums etc due to the buttons and wheel not working.

Did you restore from backup?
Next would be to restore to factory settings/new iPod since maybe you have some corruption in the backup

InDesign - Buttons and Forms in InCopy

Within the Buttons and Forms section of InDesign - do the PDF options revert to their default when sections are exported to Incopy?
I have set up a number of checkboxes and form fields (and updated the button values/ PDF Options), and want to export these to InCopy for use in other InDesign files, however, when I place the InCopy fields the PFD options appear to revert back to the default, rather than retaining the PDF Options I had put in place.
Is there a way that I can keep the PDF Options without manually updating each field again?

Never tried that, but I'd be far more inclined to do this using snippets instead.

Unable to create Menu Item List Buttons in Forms - Not Working!

Hi guys,
I need desperate help since I have been stuck on these for 2 days and I am unable to move forward!!
I am trying to create a pdf form using Acrobat pro 9 and Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES. Since I am new to this, I have been browsing through numerous sites, forums and tutorials to learn about this. So far, I was able to create the forum with text fields, etc.. I am trying to have a column in my pdf form where the users can simply copy & paste image icons here..I was having difficulty with this already and have done numerous searches in google. In the end, I thought I am better off trying to use the "stamp" tool for this instead of image field. So this is what I did:
1) I already placed the image icons (that the users will be copying & pasting) on my pdfs so users can simply click on it to select the image.
2) I added a new bottom to this form which has the short cut to the menu item "copy" function. I labeled this button as 'Copy' and to this button, I added the following javascript for "Mouseup":
app.execMenuItem("CopyFileToClipboard");
3) Next I created another button that I called 'paste' and this button executes the "Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp Tool" menu. This button has the following javascript:
app.execMenuItem("Annots:Tool:StampFromClipboardMenuItem");
I thought that after doing the above, the user should be able to click on one of the images in the pdf, then click on 'copy' button and in the end click on 'paste' button that will then run an action so user can stamp this copied image to where ever they want in that file. But this is not happening!! I dont why?? Nothing happens when these buttons are clicked. I have made sure that the "Extended features in Adobe Reader..." is enabled and also tried running the above javascripts on my console window to test it and i know that the actual javascript code is not at fault since these functions works when I try the code through the debugger window. But I just cannot figure out why these menu item functions are not working when the buttons I had created are clicked!!! I dont know if what I have done is correct or if there is a easier way to achieve what I am trying to do!! Its a shame there is no simpler way for the end-users to copy and paste images to the columns in the pdf forms.
please help me understand why the above button are not working....any help will be great!!

Hi Paul,
This is further to our email correspondence. I am just pasting your email response here since it may be useful to other newbies like me:
"Ok here you go ......I had to add the new row via a script object as the new objects are not completely available until the script ends so I cannot resize the new row from teh current script.
Then when we resize - we have to resize the row, the cells and the image ....we start with all existing subforms then we do it for the new row that was just added.
Lastly I see that you have a delete row button. This will have to be part of the row otherwise we ill not know which row the user will want to delete .....unless you ask them (which is not good UI design)."
I was really impressed the way you modified the script so the table height does not change when new rows are added. That did help me in understanding the methods and it will certainly be v useful to me in the future. I have been practicing and getting a hang of LS and I have actually decided to redesigned my form since it appears that trying to have a fixed table height is quite a bit of work each time a row is added, removed or changed, etc... Your advise so far have been v helpful and it has helped me in redesigned the form into a different layout. So far so good...However, I just have a few more clarifications regarding some hurdles I am facing:
PS: I have emailed you a sample of my new form now so you can have a look at it.
1) Dynamic Image fields:
In this form, I have a subform that has a dropdown list and next to this, I have an image field. I want to change the image based on the selection in the dropdown list. I found a few samples and tutorials on this already and I tried 2 different approach for this. One works and the other doesnt.
Method that works: What I have done here is, I added all the images in the form and have put their presence to invisible. Then using the javascript, I am making the image visible based on the selection in the dropdown list. I found this method somewhere through googling and it works.
Method that doesnt work: Its similar to the above, but instead of putting all the images in the form, I just inserted 1 image field and then tried to change the url of this dynamic image based on the selection in the drop down list. But this method is not working. I tried inserting this jscript and nothing happens:
switch (this.rawValue)
case "1":
myImages.value.Image.href=http://www.mysiteaddress.com/blah_blah.jpg;
break;
case "2":
myImages.value.Image.href=http://www.mysiteaddress.com/blah_blah2.jpg;
break;
The 2nd method does not work. Although I know the method 1 above works and I am currently using it, I am just curious to find out why the 2nd method is not working? Did I get the script wrong or is this feature no longer allowed? I just thought that if the second method works fine, it saves the hassle of putting all the images on the form and then making them hidden. Instead, I just need to put one image field and then dynamically change its image based on the selection. I hope this make sense..please advise..
2) Changing the background colour of the Dropdown list box:
I am trying to change the bg colour of the listbox in the dropdown list object (only the listbox bg color and not the whole background color). So, I added the following script to the mouseEnter event and this works:
var vName = this.somExpression;
var fieldObj = xfa.resolveNode(vName + ".ui.#choiceList.border.fill.color");
fieldObj.value = "255,255,225";
My Problem: The above script works so I dont need to change anything there. But, I also want to add another script to the mouseExit event to change the fill color to its default once the mouse leaves the dropdown lists. Initially, this field has no fill colour and the border fill style is none. The fill color is only added during the mouseEnter event. How do I change the bg color fill back to none during mouseExit after the above script is executed on mouseEnter?
(NOTE: If you see my form, I have used the above scripts for the dropdown list only in "boxSubform[0]".)
3) Changing the length of the Dropdown List box:
I only have about 1.6 inches workspace to add this dropdown list box. However, the length of some lists (list items) in this dropdown list box is actually longer and the remaining part is cut out. So, I added the following script to increase the dropdownlist length and it does not work the way I would have hoped...
The script I have written so far:
I added these to the mouseEnter event and it works fine -
form1.pageSubform.dynamicSubform.Table1.Row1.boxSubform[0].MyDropdown::mouseEnter - (JavaScript, client)
this.w = "2in"; //this is to to increase the width of the dropdown list
I added these to the mouseExit event and it works fine too-
form1.pageSubform.dynamicSubform.Table1.Row1.boxSubform[0].MyDropdown::mouseExit - (JavaScript, client)
this.w = "1.625in";
When I tested the form with the above script, this is what happens:
1) First when you move the mouse over this field, the width increases. Similarly the width decreased when you move away.
2) So, even if this is clicked, the list box is opened with this 2inch width so thats good.
3) There are no problems when the mouse is moved over these list items as well. However, this does not look good when the dropdown list item is clicked with its item lists open and then the mouse leaves this area. In this case, as soon as the mouse leaves this area, the mouseExit script runs and hence it makes the drop down list width to shrink eventhough the list items are still open. How do I resolve this? I was thinking about this and I thought the possible way to overcome this is by writing a javascript for the mouseExit event executing something like this:
if this dropdown list is open,
then this.w = "2in";
else
this.w = "1.625in";
I am not sure how to write a jscript for the above?
(NOTE: If you see my form, I have used the above scripts for the dropdown list in "boxSubform[0]".)
4) Hiding the alternative row shadowing for hidden columns:
If you check out my form, you can notice that I have put the "close" button (button to delete table rows) on the left column and I have also put its presence to "Visible (screen only)". The parent table has got the 'alternative row shadow' checked. What I notice here is, when this page is printed, eventhough the first column's presence is set to "Visible (Screen Only)", it still prints the row shadow for this column and it looks bad. How can I fix this? Any help will be great!
I have already emailed you my new form again so you can have a look.
Thanks again Paul and I cant thank you enough for your help. I am sooo happy to see such a great support and resources available here since it can be a nightmare for some newbies like me... :-)

Start Button and notification not working

Good day
I have Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview installed on a HP Pavilion dv6.
I installed “Adobe Dreamweaver CS6” yesterday. I realised that I had the wrong version for the key I have and try to do a Windows System Restore.
The restore complete after the reboot. Now the Start menu does not open when I click on the start button and the “new notification”, next to the time, does also not respond when I click on it.
I did roll forward to the original system restore point with Adobe Dreamweaver CS6installed , but I am still seeing the same issues.
Please advice

Another solution which has worked for some users who have also had issue with the Start Menu and Notifications is to re-register AppX with PowerShell using the following command:
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Why are Links and forms not working in mobile safari?

Why do links and forms on the site I am designing not work in mobile safari? They work fine in desktop browsers.
The controls change state when focused, so it's not that they're being blocked, they simply don't activate. Behavior tested and observed on iPad running iOS 6.1.2 and iPhone running iOS 7.0.2.
Reference: http://gilli.co/test.html

I had the same problem but I just found a solution. Siri mistakenly suggests to enable reminders (which you should), but the setting that enables all these, is under System Services (on the bottom of the page) -> Location Based Alerts. I had deactivated it alleviate battery problems and had forgotten about it. Hope this helps!

T500 mute button and OSD not working

Hi. I'm having a problem after upgrading my t500 to windows 7 ultimate 64bit.
The volume buttons work fine (even without the hotkey software installed), but the mute button and the on screen display doen't work.
While I can live without the OSD, the lack of a mute button is really bothering me.
I have the power manager installed as well as the hotkey software. not sure if this has anything to do with it but UltraNav is also installed.
No idea where to go from here so I'd appreciate any help the community can provide.
Solved!

I was having similar problems with some R500's and so I did some research, and came across the following, as mentioned in:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-8-and-8-1/ThinkPad-On-Screen-Display-hotkeys-for-older-systems-T...
“To make OSD work, you might need to install Hotkey driver and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package.
To test if this is your issue, run C:\DRIVERS\HOTKEY\OSD\tposdsvc.exe and see if it complains that msvcr100.dll is missing. If it does, install Visual C++ and it should work after that.”
What is not said, but what is critical, is that you have to install the 32 bit version of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package, even on a 64 bit version of Windows 7 Professional.
You then have to reboot the computer after the install for the change to take effect.

Blackberry Curve 8900 buttons and keypad not working!

I had it in the bathroom while taking a shower, and I got a few drops of water on it while drying my hair.
Now it turns on, but won't let me unlock it or press any buttons on the keypad.
What do I do?!

Immediately pull the battery and keep it out!
Place your Curve in a container of UNCOOKED rice. Leave the lid off. Leave the Curve alone for five days, yes days.
Avoid temptation to pull it out and insert the battery to see if it functions.
The rice is a dessicant in that it will absorb moisture. You want the battery out so as to avoid shorting out the circutry. That will surely firy things beyond repair.
Alternately or following the five days set it on top of a heat emiting source (low temp dry heat) such as a TV cable box. Or on a interior window sill that gets the sun's rays for a long period (somewhat of a push during the winter)
On the dashboard of your car on sunny days.
The idea is to remove the water. Following the above steps are not guaranteed however they are known to have worked for others.
If you follow the steps and your device still does not work it is time for a visit to your service provider. Hopefully you have insurance as it will cover water damage while it is not covered under warranty.

1. In Portal after opeing the Adobe form, If the move the cursor to the top portion of the form where we can add the attachment("Add attachment" button), the cursor always turns into the wait symbol and we are not able to attach anything into the form.
2. In a separation form the Date field is an input field and even if the user enters a different date the system takes the current date. The user also selected the separation reason from dropdown menu, but no display in form.
3. Transfer form is having the following issue:When initiating the form the u201Csendingu201D manager must input the personnel number (identical to the user ID) of the u201Creceivingu201D manager. This way, once submitted by the sending manager, the system can determine the next agent in the process.Recently, that form has stopped working and the value entered by the sending manager is no longer recognised and the system issues the error message u201CEnter the system user name of the manageru201D.
Please help if you have any hint.

Buttons and links not working...

I made my website on my iMac, put in on a FlashDrive, and when I take it up to my Windows computer, the buttons at the top do not appear and some of the links don't work.
Also, I used Photoshop to get rid of the white space around a diamond shaped image. When I view it on my PC, it reappears.

Yeah, it's IE. I'm not at my house right now so I can't check if Java is enabled. I'm pretty sure it is though. I get the yellow bar at the top whenever I open up the page asking if I want to run the ActiveX control. Even with it running it still doesn't work.

IPod Touch 5 home button, power button and charging not working!!

I have an iPod Touch 5 I got last year for Christmas, so it's about an year old. The home button has not been working recently so I tried everything to fix it but nothing worked. We took it to places to get it fixed but it costed a fortune that I would have bought a new iPod Touch instead. I just used the Assistive Touch instead. Then today I was using my iPod Touch and I turned it off. About a minute later I went to get my iPod Touch and used it again and threw it on the bed because that's what I always do and it never breaks. Then a few minutes later, I got my iPod Touch from my bed and I tried to turn it on but it wouldn't budge. Then I remembered it had low battery so it must have shut down because it had no more battery power left. I charged my iPod Touch and tried to turn it on a again but i wouldn't. It would normally turn on and show the Apple Logo and go directly to the lock screen but it just stayed black. I searched up how to fix this but the only way to turn it back on is doing something with the home button but I couldn't since it was broken. I tried to find computer but they were all occupied and the only that wan't occupied was a Chromebook but it my USB couldn't fit in because it was too big. I try to find other ways but there was nothing that could work. I think my iPod Touch isn't charging because whenever I charge my iPod and it has no battery power left, it would usually turn on by itself. I really don't want to go out and fix my iPod at a store because it'll cost a fortune. Please help!! Thank you

Turn on without Home/Power Button
You need a computer with iTunes which rules out a Chromebook

HT4528 power button and screen not working - is this fixable and where do I go?

Last night my phone was knocked out of my hand and fell hard on the sidewalk. It doesn't look broken, I have it encased in an Otterbox but I can no longer see my screen, where do I get it fixed and is it fixable? Also a couple weeks ago my power button stopped working. Where do I go to get this fixed or do I have to get a new phone? I didn't get the insurance as I never had an issue with my phones before this.
