Interested in helping/testing a new release?

We're working on a new release but could use more testing.
You can help a lot by downloading one of our alpha isos and trying an installation on a real or virtual system.
There are also some bugs that should be fixed but require testing.  (see http://bugs.archlinux.org/roadmap/proj6)
If you're interested in this, make an account on the bugtracker if you haven't one already and subscribe to our mailing list.
Look at this thread to get you started: http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 00564.html
here's a list of all specific things that need testing, in chronological order of when you get to them during the installation: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dev … i:testplan

Oh...my. Blast from the past.

    -Chirag

    Good afternoon, Chirag! I was connecting a device (Roku3 via ethernet) to stream something down the hall to the bedroom tv temporarily (modem is in office) by running an ethernet cable from room to room. I do this every other week without issue for a couple years now. When I connected the cable to the modem the first time, the modem siezed up completely causing me to pull the plug to reboot it.The WiFi wasn't connecting to any devices it was previously and the computers hooked up via ethernet weren't online anymore either. It rebooted and things were fine as normal. When I disconnected the ethernet cable from the modem, it siezed up again causing me to have to pull the plug to reboot it again to get all the other devices back online.Normally I'd say static charge could disrupt the electronics and cause the issue that way, but there's no carpet anywhere and I've never had this issue occur since doing this. (Of course this'd be a non-issue if LG would updarte their TV app list, but I digress). I haven't wanted to "test" it again since doing so twice in a short time already, I didn't want to cause any undo issues with the modem since I work from home and *need* that internet connection working properly.
    All that being said though (as "minor" as it may seem), the WiFi issues experienced before are completely gone and that's the much greater news to me as the ethernet thing I can work around another way if it's an actual issue. Speeds are still up there, connectivity is still good as well - so this has been an incredible firmware upgrade in my opinion.

  • New release, old problems...

    Hello,
    I tested the new release for dynamic assignment of endpoint references. Now it must be specified the <wsa:Address> child of <wsa:EndpointReference> even if the BPEL engine reads only the "server location" from it, and not the "service location", whose name must be specified in the other child <wsa:ServiceName>. An important new feature is that now it is not necessary to specify <binding> and <service> in the LoanService.wsdl, according to BPEL4WS 1.1 specification (in fact I deleted them from the LoanService.wsdl)! But the WS-Addressing specification says that only the <Address> field is mandatory and it must contain the "service location" and not only the "server location" (i.e. "http://localhost:9700/orabpel/default/UnitedLoan" against "http://localhost:9700/orabpel/default"). In fact the engine reads the service name only from the field <wsa:ServiceName> which shouldn't be mandatory.
    However, another issue is the flowN activity: it doesn't work properly with dynamic assignment either with Correlation Set or Conversation Id, unless I synchronize the branches through a wait activity. The problem is that with the same partnerLink, portType, operation, correlation Set the engine throws a "conflictingReceive" fault according to the BPEL4WS 1.1 specification.
    Could I send to you my project so that you can examine it?
    Thanks in advance and sorry for my english

    Marcello,
    This is Alex Yiu, working on the BPEL product for Edwin. I am not directly on [email protected] Could you please cc my personal email address

    Thanks!

  • SP 2013 Development - How can I Simulate Different Devices to Help Design and Test a New UI?

    Hello Community!
    I am working with SharePoint 2013 and I need to be able to design and test a new design across multiple device browsers.  Does anyone know how to simulate a device browser for design and testing?  BTW, I know about Device Channels, and they give
    me a way to dynamically change my UI for different device browsers, but because this UI is complex, I cannot be sure what dynamic changes need to occur until I can simulate the device browsers and view my new UI in them.
    Thanks!

  • Digital Publishing Suite Help | What's new in this release

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/whats-new-release.html

    This v28 marks the end of the immersive feeling a Folio could offer the user. In stead of having a truly full-screen experience, there's always that iOS7 system bar in sight. At least, that's what I understand from this documentation. So there's no way to prevent users to be distracted by anything unrelated in their screen. That's a real pity !
    Some might think this is just a trivial change with eventually minor impact, but I think being able to present content over the whole screen is a crucial factor in distinguishing a Folio from other publishing formats like a web page.
    Does this requirement also affect other apps like e-readers or games ?

  • [New Release] Oracle Application Testing Suite 12.5.0.1.0

    Hi All,
    OATS new release available, please check : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/app-test/index-084446.html
    From Release Notes

    -POPS

    I have a similar problem with the OATS v9.20 installation. I did manage to install it on our main load generator (running Windows 2003 Server) but when it came to installing OpenScript on my laptop (XP SP3) the install 'hangs' at 78%.
    I did raise a support call with Oracle about this (there was a bug report generated) but the case is still open.
    I've been waiting to hear when the next version was due (in the hope that this might have been resolved) but by the sounds of it there could still be an issue on WinXP with v9.21?
    For reference I originally logged this with the following in the description:
    The installation looks like it is failing because of a double backslash in a path ending "OATS920\\bin\copyOUI.bat". We then get an error in javaw.exe which when OK'ed then stops the installation at the stage "creating 'Uninstall Oracle Application Testing Suite' in folder 'Oracle Application Testing Suite' ".

  • New Release: Java ES 5 Update 1

    In case you haven't noticed there is a new version of the Java Enterprise System that was posted to the Sun Download site on Friday September 1, 2007. The new release is Java ES 5 Update 1.
    Here are the versions of the individual products that are in Java ES 5 Update 1:
    * Directory Server 6.2 EE
    * Directory Proxy Server 6.2
    * Application Server 8.2 Patch 2 / 9.1
    * Service Registry 3.1 Update 1
    * Access Manager 7.1
    * Portal Server 7.1 Update 2
    * Message Queue 3.7 Update 2
    * Web Server 7.0 Update 1
    * Web Proxy Server 4.0.5
    You can download it here:
    http://www.sun.com/software/swportfolio/get.jsp?71220fd6-8b25-4297-8bb7-2bb4c2605e61=1
    This release is mainly a maintenance release, with lots of bug fixes. But there are a few new and interesting features included also. One, is the inclusion of the Sun Java System Application Server 9.1. It is not included in the main Java ES installer, but can be downloaded separately. All of the Java ES 5 Update 1 component products that require a web container have been certified to work with Sun Java System Application 9.1.The Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 is based on the GlassFish open source application server. You will be able to download it in mid-September. I will update the links when it is available.
    Another interesting feature is the inclusion of Service Tags. Service Tags are digital identifiers that can be embedded in software or firmware and that holds a small amount of product information. The Sun Connection Registration Manager discovers service tags and registers the products and allows you to view and manage your registered products online. You can check out Sun Connection Inventory Channel here: https://sunconnection.sun.com/inventory
    Not all of the Sun Java System components are Service Tag-enabled just yet, but a lot of them are. Here is the list of the components that are Service Tag-enabled:
    * Directory Server 6.2 EE
    * Application Server 8.2 Patch 2 / 9.1
    * Access Manager 7.1
    * Portal Server 7.1 Update 2
    * Web Server 7.0 Update 1
    * Monitoring/JMX framework

  • New Release: Java ES 5 Update 1 - **Correction**

    In my entry on Sep 5, 2007 7:34 AM with the topic of "New Release: Java ES 5 Update 1", I incorrectly stated that Sun Application Server 9.1 was certified with Java ES 5 Update 1. It is not. The fully certified and supported web containers are listed in the Java ES 5 Update 1 Release Notes. For now, it is not supported by Java ES 5 Update 1 component products, but future releases of Sun middleware products will, so hang tight. I do apologize for any inconvenience. The official documentation at docs.sun.com should always be considered the source for what is supported and what is not.
    Here is a corrected entry...

  • Helpful hints for new Creative Zen MP3 2/4/8/16/32 GB (flash) Users On

    Summary of helpful hints (from this forum and me) for new Creative Zen MP3 2/4/8/6/32 GB (flash) Users Only!
    Rev..
    Date: 4/28/2008
    Author: ZenAndy
    Creative terminology:
    MP3 Player Recovery Tool - A program that resolves the majority of player problems quickly.
    One click is all it takes to update your player to the latest available firmware, and to give your player a clean bill of health.
    Link: http://www.creative.com/products/mp3...me.asp region=
    Note: You can also go to "Creative" "Support" "downloads" choose your MP3 Player type to obtain the latest firmware and software releases.
    Note: On your Zen you can look under "System" & "Information" and then compare the firmware download
    releases OR you can have the "MP3 Player Recovery Tool" (above) do it for you automatically.
    Note: Creative Zen 4/8/6 GB "MP3 Recovery Tool" DOES NOT stop on a firmware comparison match.
    Note: All firmware releases/revisons for the 4/8/6 GB Zen also works (is the same as) for the 2 GB & 32 GB Zen.
    Recovery Mode - If you experience one or more of the following symptoms, it is recommended that you boot the player into its unique Recovery Mode, and then clean up, format or reload the firmware.
    . The player is not detected in Creative MediaSource or Windows Media Player
    2. The battery does not last as expected
    3. Your computer stops responding during file transfers
    4. There is a power outage during file transfers
    5. There is an error about firmware
    6. LCD displays a "Firmware Problem" message
    7. Your player is not responding.
    8. The player is performing erratically.
    Getting Started
    . Load your Creative Zen software from CD FIRST and BEFORE plugging the Zen MP3 player, using the short cable, into the PC USB port to charge it.
    2. Try charging the Zen MP3 player directly from the USB port on the PC. If not, make sure the USB Hub you are using is adequately powered to provide full charging current to the Zen player. Also, try to have the Zen MP3 player as the only USB device, if possible, on the USB hub.
    Some/most Creative Zen flash MP3 Music players come "fully discharged" so, in the mean time, just read the manuals.
    FULLY charge the Zen MP3 player for several hours (~4.0 hrs max) until the battery symbol is NOT flashing AND the battery symbol/icon has a small plug/key symbol in the middle.
    After the first full charge - additional charging is much quicker about 2 /4 hours. (From 0% empty to full)
    3. Go to Creative/Support/Downloads and check for the latest software releases for the Creative Zen. Then check on your Zen MP3 player under System/Information for your firmware revision. Make sure you have the latest software downloaded on your PC and firmware on your Zen MP3 player. < Latest revision [.2.0] 28Feb08>
    OR
    You can run MP3 Player Recovery Tool - see above.
    4. In some cases you might have to do the Recovery Mode "paper clip reset" to get the Zen MP3 flash player started.
    See the Zen User's Guide FAQ. The paper clip reset hole is on the bottom edge below the music pause/run switch.
    (Not the slotted mic hole on the top edge of the player near the earphone jack and SD card slot!!!)
    5. My preference is to have the player shutdown/off before inserting and removing the earphone/headphone plug.
    Recovery Mode Using The Paper Clip OR
    Alternati've Method For Recovery Mode Without The Paper Clip.
    Why use it's
    If you experience one or more of the following symptoms:
    . The player is not detected in Creative MediaSource or Windows Media Player
    2. The battery does not last as expected
    3. Your computer stops responding during file transfers
    4. There is a power outage during file transfers
    5. There is an error about firmware
    6. LCD displays a "Firmware Problem" message
    7. Your player is not responding.
    8. The player is performing erratically.
    Save a copy of your player's content, if possible, before cleaning up the memory!
    Recovery Mode Using The Paper Clip Reset Method
    #. Turn off player if not already turned off
    #2. Press/hold play/pause button. If you accidentally release
    the button, start this reset procedure over again.
    #3. Gently push the end of a metal paper clip into the reset hole on
    the botton edge below the play/pause switch.
    (Do not use the slotted mic hole at the top edge near the earphone jack)
    #4. Slide the on/off/lock switch towards the on position - slide it to the botton hold
    until the display lights up and then release.
    #5. The recovery mode screen appears and four menu items are shown - see below
    <Alternati've Method For Recovery Mode Without The Paper Clip>
    #. Turn off player if not already turned off
    #2. Press/hold play/pause button. If you accidentally release
    the button, start this reset procedure over again.
    #3. Slide the on/off/lock switch towards the on position - slide it to the botton hold
    until the display lights up and then release. Be patient and wait!
    #4. The recovery mode screen appears and four menu items are shown:
    < Clean Up> - cleans, rebuilds and reorganizes your player's memory and restores it to optimal efficiency.
    When the cleanup is complete, select Reboot. Your player restarts and starts rebuilding its music library.
    Note: Your player's firmware is reset to default settings after your player's memory is cleaned up.
    Note: This procedure the hide/show password is reset.
    <2 Format All>- Warning - Formatting your player erases all content on your player's memory and resets your player's firmware to default settings. If possible, back up all data on your player before proceeding.
    Also, you can do this from the PC see Zen User's Guide. FAQ
    <3 Reload Firmware> - Caution !!!! Selecting Reload Firmware erases your player's firmware.
    DO NOT select Reload Firmware unless you have downloaded a newer firmware version for your player, or have been advised to do so by Creative Customer Support.
    Note: My advice when loading/replacing firmware is to connect directly
    to the PC USB port without using a USB hub.
    <4 Reboot> Restarts the player just like the "on/off/lock switch" when switched ON.
    Note: Having NO battery energy/charge/juice this procedure will not work.
    Lithium-Ion Polymer Battery Hints
    Ref:
    http://www.omnica.com/omniview_electronics2.htm
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_ion_battery
    . Allow the battery to completely discharge from time-to-time then recharge it fully.
    2. Lithium-Ion batteries loses about 5%- 0% capacity per month.
    3. Lithium-Ion polymer batteries have about 300-500 discharge/charge cycles.
    4. A half full battery indication (50% @ /2 the battery color) used up about 24 hrs worth of battery. Below 50% the indication goes fairly fast to the max of 30 hrs. Note: The battery level indication seems non-linear through out its range.
    5. Battery is Empty~0% - warning screen will appear on LCD and player might shutdown.
    6. Battery is Full- 00% with battery symbol NOT flashing AND plug/key symbol in the center of the battery.
    7. It takes about 2 /4 hours to charge the battery from empty to full.
    8. It takes about 4 hours max to charge a "New" Zen player shipped from the factory.
    9. There is a battery manufactuer's failure rate, which is normal ~ % or less, in which the Lithium-Ion Polymer battery refuses to charge. Creative, ships the Zen MP3 players with some or no charge so there is very small probability that you could have one. I call it the "Deep Six Discharge Battery" Contact/call Creative for replacement.
    Documentation
    There are several pieces of documentation you might need to read to fully understand and use your Creative Zen MP3 flash player to its fullest capabilities.
    #. Zen Users Guide "English" - For Zen MP3 Player - download from Creative/Support/Product documentation
    #2. Zen Quick Users Guide /Front/Back - download from Creative/Support/Product documentation
    #3. Sync Manager (Creative Zen) Click on sync symbol on PC task bar then help
    #4. Creative Zen Media Explorer - Just look under the main help menu
    #5. Windows Media Player <if used>(Microsoft)Use the help files with this program.
    General Tips to increase/decrease the playing time on your Creative Zen flash player.
    <Creative Battery Spec: 5 Hrs. Video & "UP TO" 30 Hrs. Audio/Songs>
    Please do the following:
    . Volume control lower/higher - higher volume settings will decrease playing times. This is logical. More output "volume power" decreases the battery juice.
    2. Audio Settings: EQ, Smart Vol, & Bass Boost will effect your playing time but I believe they are not critical as the Volume & Bit Rates(28 kbsp and others) / File Format (MP3,WMA) & Lock Switch.
    3. Bit Rates & File Formats Do Matter. Bit Rates and File formats will increase/decrease your playing time.
    Per Catherina-CL
    "WMA files will use up more power than MP3 files, and higher bitrates more so than standard ones (like 28kbps MP3). Best thing to do is rip an album in 28kbps MP3 and leave it playing in a loop on a normal volume level. See how long the battery lasts then."
    Please Note: The main difference between MP3 and WMA is the compression. According to Microsoft a 64KBPS WMA file is the same quality 28KBPS MP3. This is of course up to a person's preference but you may find you can get better compression out of WMA.
    4. FULLY CHARGE your Zen. This means the battery symbol is NOT flashing AND there is a plug/key symbol embedded within the battery symbol. The battery is 00% FULL under BOTH conditions. Having just the battery symbol all green will not do it.
    From the link:
    http://www.omnica.com/omniview_electronics2.htm
    Regarding lithium-ion shelf life, one of our engineers recently met with a battery-house representati've. It has come to their attention that repeated charging and re-charging of a less than fully discharged Li-ion cell affects the battery "gas gauge" included with many devices. Over a number of cycles there is a resultant loss in accuracy. Frequently, the indicated remaining charge has little relationship to the actual amount of life left in the cell! Fortunately, according to the battery expert, the gauge will reset itself if the battery is allowed to completely discharge from time-to-time.
    5. Having different types of earphones/headphones will increase or decrease the playing time by how much "electronic load" the earphones/headphones create on the Zen player. There are some power hungry earphones/headphones out there.
    The 6 ohm earbuds conserves battery power more than the 32 ohm earbuds supplied by Creative. (About 0% more)
    6. Always, always lock your Zen player while playing music. This cuts off the power drain from the color 2.5" LCD and blank the LCD screen. After all, you can't read the LCD screen if it is in your shirt pocket and playing music!
    7. Make sure you have the latest firmware upgrades in order to get the best of your Creative Zen Flash MP3 Player.
    Troubleshooting
    Your Creative Zen is extremely complex.
    Check this link to peek inside player http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archi...isassembly.php
    Also, this link:
    http://arstechnica.com/journals/hard...ssor-behind-it
    There could be a million things that could go wrong with your player so you will not be the FIRST or LAST to have a problem. Keep in mind, there are many, many others that have the Zen with no problems whatsoever. Things happen, but Creative is there to help.
    Dropping a Zen or any other player might/will/possibly ruin the player for good!!!
    Since this player is solid-state (no moving parts e.g. mini-disk dri've) then the only thing that will keep it from running for years is the non-user replaceable Lithium-Ion battery. I will concentrate on some troubleshooting tips which are battery related but I hope you have already the latest firmware downloaded and installed on your player
    Battery - Lithium-Ion Polymer
    #. Battery won't charge "out of the box" new player.
    A. First, read above "Getting Started"
    B. Next, try a different USB mini cable.
    C. Next, there is a battery manufactuer's failure rate < %, in which the Lithium-Ion Polymer battery refuses to charge.
    Creative, ships the Zen MP3 players with no charge so there is very small probability thatyou could have one.
    I call it the "Deep Six Discharge Battery" Call / Contact Creative.
    #2. Battery won't charge properly after using the player for some time.
    A. When you plug in your player into the USB port via mini USB patch cable, the connection resets the player to the "docked screen" with the battery level gas guage , in the right hand corner.
    Sometimes this action does not reset the player properly but there is no indication to you that the player is charging.
    Just disconnect/connect the USB cable again.
    B. Sometimes, the Zen player gets confused and you have to do a Recovery Mode "paper clip reset" which forces the player into a "special menu screen" to clean-up the player and to reset the player which allows showing the "docked screen" while charging the unit. See Zen User's Guide for explicit instruction und FAQ.
    C. Since the Zens came out late in 2007, the maximum of 300-500 charge/discharge should not apply YETbut users beware, as with any other Lithium-Ion Polymer battery it will not charge fully "like new"because of a " fixed shelf life" (2-3 yrs) OR too many charge/discharge cycles. A battery replacement is in order.
    Methods of charging the Creative Zen MP3
    . The short mini-standard USB cable provided by Creative from the factory. Plugs into a PC USB port.
    2. Uni'versal Power Adapter (Creative) plugs into the wall. Works "anywhere in the world"
    Note: Different countries have different wall AC voltages and hertz requirements. This has adapters for different countries/locations wall outlets and a uni'versal power supply for all voltage and hertz requirements.
    Note: This is a heavy duty high/fast charging wall outlet charging adapter. (2400 ma)
    3. Auto/Vehicle 2 VDC charger (Creative) or other compatible vehicle 2 VDC to USB charger.
    4. EARHUGGER IPOD POWER POD - MP3-8370 (White compact module)
    http://www.earhugger.com/powerPod.html
    http://www.amazon.com/Earhugger-MP3-.../dp/B000QTTKSS
    This compact module will solve all the following travel modes and conditions:
    . Camping, hiking or outdoor travel - no PC or noAC or maybe no auto/car.
    2. Airplane travel - no PC or no AC or no auto/car.
    3. Train/subway travel - no PC or no auto/car
    4. Car travel - no PC or no AC
    5. Foot travel - no PC or no AC or no auto/car
    It uses 4 ways to charge the Zen:
    . Retractable mini-standard USB cord for PC charging. <--- does not communicate with PC! - only for charging
    2. Retractable mini USB cord for auto/vehicle charging (Fused)
    3. Retractable mini USB cord for wall 0-20 VAC 50/60Hz charging. (non-international use plug style)
    4. 9 VDC battery terminal for using standard alkaline 9 VDC or high ma Lithium 9 VDC to charge the Zen via
    mini USB cable. Note:You might need several alkaline batteries to charge the internal 550 ma hr Zen battery!
    Great for remote destinations.
    5. Rechargeable portable battery packs.
    Black & Decker has several "Power To Go"models CPI0B-C & CPI20XB (not for international use because of 20 AC 60Hz only charging wall wart)
    Note: There are other brands that also do this method of charging.
    http://www.blackanddecker.com/Produc...Path=4033.4040
    You charge this portable NiMH battery pack from the AC wall outlet so you can carry with you on trips to charge the Zen.
    6. Mobile phone chargers. Some have a mini-USB plug for charging the phone but it could be used to charge the Zen BUT BEWARE IT COULD RUIN THE ZEN IF IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE! The output should have a voltage of 5 VDC +- 5% (4.75-5.25 VDC) ON THE PROPER MINI-USB PINS and a charging current at least 200 ma to 2400 ma. See this forum for the recommend phone phone chargers to use with the Zen.
    Note: You are charging an internal Lithium-ion polymer 550 mahr battery in the Zen so the lower the charging current the longer it takes to charge.
    Note: You will find that charging the Zen from the wall charger is much faster than the "current limited" charging on the standard PC USB port.
    Note: For diagnostic purposes and emergency charging of the Zen it is wise to have an external (non-PC) charging device for your Zen.
    Note: Only the battery charging symbol shows up on the Zen when using an external charger.
    Scratches
    All plastic screens will scratch, doesn't matter which type you have.
    For minor scratches you could use the Novus three part cleaner, polish and scratch remover system. Do not use the #3 coarse abrasi've in this system! Be extremely careful in using this product !!!! Please check the web.
    OR
    Low abrasi've toothpase <--- some say this works
    OR
    CD scratch remover/repair kit <---- have not tried this.
    The Zen (Flash) MP3 glass LCD screen is covered by the overlay plastic you see on the front. Worst case, you can have only the outer shell repaired and replaced by Creative.
    To prevent scratches in the first place:
    Use the Zen cloth bag which comes with the unit (sometimes ) to prevent scratches.
    OR
    Buy the Zen clear plastic case (Clear Case #70AB2600002). Sold by Creative.< I use this>
    OR
    Buy an clear plastic overlay. (Screen protector #70AB2600003) which goes over the LCD protector screen for protection. Sold by Creative.
    OR
    Also, you can cut up a "generic" PDA screen protector to fit the Zen.
    OR
    Obtain a "digital camera lcd screen protector" from a camera store or internet
    OR
    "Invisible shield" -The best protection money can buy
    http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/...ns-shields.php
    How to destroy your Zen - WHAT NOT TO DO
    . Leave it in the auto/car/vehicle - the vehicle inside heats up 20-35 F higher than the outside temperature.
    2. Leave it outside in freezing temperature 0C 32F. The LCD will freeze/discolor/absorb water.
    Note: It is remotely possible it could recover when warm-up at room temperature.
    Note: Just keep the Zen near your body heat when outside in freezing temperatures.
    3. Dropping it might cause the LCD screen to crack or loosen up the internal connections to the electronics or short out the internal electronics.
    Note: Use a protecti've case to cushion the blow from dropping the Zen.
    4. Dropping or submerging or getting the Zen wet in water might short out the electronics and battery.
    You could prevent destruction by immediately shaking the Zen vigorously in open air to dry it out.
    5. Sitting on it could flex the electronics and short or open circuits which would cause a defecti've/faulty Zen.
    <A bit of humor ... There is No Santa Claus, Easter Bunny or Tooth fairy and Creative does NOT give away money. If you destroy or damage your Zen you will pay not Creative>
    How can you tell if your Zen is defecti've/faulty
    . A "white screen" or a "totally blank black screen" shows up on the Zen LCD.
    2. You cannot force the Zen into the special "Recovery Mode" menu screen.
    3. The Zen refuses to "take a charge"(To charge up the internal Lithium-Ion Polymer battery)
    4. The Zen LCD is cracked or distorted due to dropping or handling abuse.
    5. The Zen clock does not keep accurate time (within 2 mins max per month)
    Contact Creative if any of the above faults occur - the Zen is bad and nothing you can do will fix it!
    WSOD "White Screen of Death"
    The "White Screen of Death" is really caused by a hardware problem. You see, the internal Freescale/SigmaTel STMP3700 MP3 processor has to write to the LCD. If this operation is prevented by internal electronic opens or shorts, bad STMP3700, locked-up firmware, bad LCD or any other electronic component failure then the CPU might/will halt and refuse to write to the LCD which will be reflected in a "white screen of death" I cannot cover all the causes of the "white screen of death" but rest assured Creative should pick these problems up in their quality control manufacturing process with a 99% success rate. Problems do show up after the manufacturing process but Creative has warranty protection for this other % fault rate. (Which is normal in electronics manufacturing)
    Media Content
    Listening to the built-in music on the Zen is OK but after a while your question now becomes "What else can I do with my Zen "
    Note: The "How to" instructions for adding Media content can be found in the Zen documentation.
    Terminology:

    Hi,
    I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
    The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
    Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
    Anyway, thank you,
    Chris

  • NEW RELEASE FOR FORMS??

    Wheres FOrms12g now?any new release?
    anyhow our company changed our application system to pb 11.5
    and that makes us obsulete developer coz were working on forms 6i ...
    is there any IDE from oracle other than Jdev that can compete with PB? regarding to desktop application..(client/server) i thinked oracle get rid of it.they are focus now in jedeveloper...
    ....forms 10g or 11g dont think so...! (RIA,datagrid, datawindow..enhancement,excell)..... without help of complex coding from java....
    currently now developing on form10g... but small knowledge in JAVA..
    i dont like to move to another IDE other than oracle forms if posible...Jdeveloper it takes time for me to learned coz its 3gl.. not like forms its 4gl..
    and many of companies moving to another application interface other than oracle they only interested now with oracle Database....!
    if only new release forms like jdeveloper in terms of drag & drop components... i think it will be nice....!
    ANY NEWS ABOUT IT??? FOR NEW RELEASE... FORMS?
    sorry for my english...!

    pb 11.5What is PB 11.5 (PowerBuilder?)
    Wheres FOrms12g now?Last I heard - Forms 12 is in development. Grant Ronald has a post "What do you want in next version of Forms" where he solicited our suggestions for improvements and new features in the next version of Forms. I haven't seen anything to indicate when this version will be available, however. Perhaps Grant could comment on this?
    is there any IDE form oracle other than Jdev that can compete with PB? Again, what is PB? I am currently working with Oracle Forms 10g R2 and am very happy with the product. My company is also evaluating Forms 11g (Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g) as we may migrate our Forms applications to 11g. So far, I have been happy with Forms 11g - although, I don't like the coupling with WebLogic Server as this make the developer installation very heavy. Depending on when Forms 12 is released and which of the numerous requested features are included, we might hold off our upgrade until release 12 is available.

  • Apex New Release..

    Hi everyone,
    When is oracle planning to release New version of APEX?
    Could someone suggest some precautionary steps to take before upgrading from HTML DB (presently i am working on) to APEX
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    Could someone suggest some precautionary steps to take before upgrading from HTML DB
    (presently i am working on) to APEX Remember, APEX is the new name for HTMLDB, they are not different products.
    You are really upgrading to a later version of the same product, rather than migrating to a different product.
    Precautionary steps? Well, I'd always recommend -
    1) Reading all of the documentation for the new release BEFORE installing/upgrading. There will be a section in the documentation specifically covering what you need to do for upgrading/installing.
    2) Make sure you follow ALL of the upgrade steps in the documentation, some people seem to skip the post-installation steps (such as installing the new Javascripts/CSS's etc) and then wonder why certain things don't work.
    3) Keep an eye on the forums, any else experiencing problems (and any related solutions) will likely be posted here first.
    4) Backup and then TEST those backups are valid before performing the upgrade. You don't want to suffer a failed upgrade (for whatever reason) and then find out your backups don't work (again for whatever reason).
    5) Rehearse the upgrade on a test system before playing with your production system.
    Those are just off the top of my head, I'm sure other people will chime in with other thoughts.
    Hope this helps,
    John.

  • Is there a way to open context-sensitive help in a new window with RH10?

    I'm linking my context sensitive help using the RoboHelp_CSH.js file to my web application.
    The correct topic opens when I click the help link, but it opens in a pop-up window. This causes problems in Firefox and Chrome (which block pop-ups by default).
    Is there anyway to force the context-sensitive help topics to open in a new window?
    I've tried adding
    <p><A HREF="javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0,'http:/myurl/index.htm', HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 100)" target="_blank">Help</A>
    which opens an empty tab in Firefox with no content in it. And it doesn't work in Chrome either.
    Has anyone else run into this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Colleen

    Hi and welcome to the forums.
    Using the RoboHelp API, that is quite a bother. (Read: major pain)
    Fortunately, there is a simple solution:
    <a href="http://myurl/index.htm#<id=4>>newwnd=false" target="blank">Help<a/>
    This link does exactly the same, only opens the help in a new browser window.

  • Why is it that Apple have no interest in helping I have a iPhone 4S and since updating to ISO 7.0.4 I have no wifi at all told me it's a hardware issue and I will be charged for the repair sick of it what a scam

    Why is it that Apple have no interest in helping I have a iPhone 4S and since updating to ISO 7.0.4 I have no wifi at all told me it's a hardware issue and I will be charged for the repair as it's just over a yr old so I've got a 24 month contract so 12 months with a phone that is not working right I have read loads of other people that have the same problem so how can they put it down to the phone and when asked where to take it was told to google it not happy at all apple u need to sort it out never again am I buying anything for yourselfs again DISTGUSTED would be an understatement

    No joy at all they just keep saying it's the phone but was fine before update and @metasolaray why should I pay for extra cover when the fault is not the phone but the update they have put out for everyone to install and I am far from being the only person as there is hundreds of people going through the same with this update and it's not been the first time they messed it up

    Apple should take resonsibility for this, otherwise they will lose lots of loyal customers. I have moved away from the ipad due to expense and am now very tempted to do so away from the iphone. Selling a product that prompts an update that breaks the phone is not good.

    Have had the same issues with iPhone 4S since the upgrade.  No wifi button, battery draining every 8 hours with no use, phone shutting on &amp; off for no reason at all.  I gave in and tried the hair dryer method.  Turned the phone off and hel d the dryer over the camera lense area for one minute.  Turned the phone back on and to my shock, had wifi button back again.  That was 2 days ago.  Battery is lasting normal amount of time again and I can use wifi again!  Hopefully this will last.  I know it doesn't work for everyone but it doesn't hurt to try.  Much better than spending the $200 at the Apple store, which by the way, the genius said Apple is aware of the problems but there is nothing they can do.

    you will be fine if you have warranty
    If not Apple won't want to know
    I know I've tried but they will not help.
    I've email bbc watchdog the consumer
    Programme to see if they can help.
    GOOD LUCK

    Having the same issue: iOS 7.0.2 with no WiFi / poor Battery stamina and really slow software experience when opening several options at Settings icon.
    Apple care agent contacted me and we try all alternatives to isolate and detect if this is regarding a hardware problem. Of course they told me it is. Too sad. My phone is in immaculate condition.
    My mother has an Iphone, my father has an Iphone, my 2 sisters have Iphones, my brother, wife and daugther... we all have Iphones. Mine's the only one with this fault (my personal experience: fail prob is 12,5% -1 out of 8).
    At this point, I'm evaluating to stop buying apple products for fear that in the future the same will happen with some "premium" product that ultimately they are not.
    Too sad, sorry but this is too much.

    I got my 4s in August 2012, as an upgrade on my Vodafone contract Following the installation of IOS 7 I also experienced greying out of wifi and bluetooth. I tried various options suggested on forums however none worked. I took my phone to Vodafone who told me it was a problem they were aware of but couldn't do anything about as Apple had to deal with it. I took it to my nearest Apple store (60 miles round trip!) to be told it was not their responsibility, it was Vodafone's - something to do with consumer law! They also said I would have to pay £160 for a replacement phone as it couldn't be repaired. The 'Genius' was very cagey about it being a common problem by the way!! Back to Vodafone who said it was not their responsibility so back to Apple. This time I spoke with a Manager who told me in not so many words that it was an issue and agreed to halve the replacement cost of £160 to £80. By this time I just wanted it sorted to reluctantly paid £80 for a replacment phone. Seeing as this is CLEARLY a design fault, Apple should have replaced it free of charge. This experience just confirms what I am reading in lots of places about the Apple Company. I was going to buy an iPad but have decided not to now. I shall NOT be replacing the iphone when my contract is up. I too will be writing to BBC Watchdog.

    I am booked in for the same problem on Thursday.  Looks like I won't have much luck.
    You will probably be told that the solution is a replacement phone. Ask to speak to a Manager and insist on getting it at a lower price. I did this and got it at 50% of the usual repacement cost. Still not ideal but at least it saves you a bit of the money you shouldn't have to pay in the first place!

    I depend alot on my Iphone and this Wifi greyed out issue is really getting to me!! This caused me to lose some business, but I'm sure I will make up for that in Andriod World. Switching back to andriod should have never switched to apple in the first place.

    4s owner in the same boat as everyone else.
    I setup a service call with apple on Monday this week and was told it's quite a common hardware failure. When I asked why I should be paying for a new phone I was advised to book an appointment in store. Well I've just returned from my appointment with a "genius" who told me that when the update is installing if any component is weak when installing it will be permanently disabled.  Was then told £150 for a new phone which I declined.
    I've had  iPhones for 4 years now but due to this issue and apple washing their hands of any responsibility it will be my last.
    Disappointed that a premium product has such poor backup from the manufacturer. If it was only my phone and not thousands of others I'd have probably paid for a new phone but I'll never give apple another penny again.

    Same problem with my partners iPhone 4s. Restored the device but still no luck. Going to book an appointment but it sounds like we wont have much luck as it is just over a year old.
    Nexus 5 time I think for both of us.
