IOS4 Fix worked for me

I tried last night to upgrade to iOS on my 3G iPhone. Failed miserably like everyone else. I tried everything posted. Then I tried this and it worked.
from a command prompt go here (replace with your user name on your pc):
-go to c:\users\yourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
-Rename the file with .ipsw extension to some other extension name.
-Restart iTunes and iPhone and connect phone to pc
- ITunes will now do the update from scratch just like last night. There seems to be a difference in the file today (did a byte by byte comparison using comp utility).
Let us know if this works.

Well I got the update to work, but my phone freezes if I don't have it plugged into a power source and the screen locks. I've tried a full restore, twice, and it hasn't helped. Tomorrow's iPhone 4 delivery can't get here quick enough!

No importing fixes work for me.... help please! My job is on the line!

Ok, the specs first...
G5 desktop w/ OSX 10.3.9
iMovie HD (5.0.2)
QT 7
Sony HDR-FX1
Problem: Same as several posts I've read- iMovie sees and communicates with the camera, but WILL NOT import anything... Lots of people with the same problem, but the difference is that NONE of the fixes worked for me.
I tried the GarageBand / Audio/MIDI Setup fix. Nothing. I tried trashing preferences. Nothing. I tried resetting the PRAM. Nothing. Unplugging the computer for a while, power cycling the computer and camera, switching Firewire cables, switching Firewire ports, examining all options on the camera.... nothing!
I even tried using the Quicktime 6 re-installer. I downloaded it, began the installation, and it ended up telling me I couldn't reinstall because I didn't have a valid version of Quicktime on my machine! I was sitting there looking at QT 7!!!
Now my job is on the line because I have video assets that are due! Can anyone help me? I know it should be working because it did momentarily the first time I tried it... imported the HDV signal like a champ... until I went to stop the import and edit my video. Then viola... iMovie crashes and all goes downhill from there.
Anyone with any help would be sainted in my book. Thanks for reading...

You say you've tried different FireWire ports on the G5 ..but that often seems to be the problem ..or the fix!
Do you have a 3rd-party FireWire card installed in the G5..? If so, try connecting the cam to one of those ports instead of the built-in ports. Or try pulling out the 3rd-party card, and then try the built-in ports.
Do you have someone else's codec installed? Toast? Flip4Mac? To avoid those, try creating a new User (..System Preferences>Accounts and press the + at the bottom of the left pane..) then log in as that User instead, and see if it works. If so, you have conflicting software in your main User account.
However, it's not usually that: it's most often (..with a G5..) a hardware (FW port) problem, by all accounts. [..Even the Apple Store in London couldn't get their FX1 to work with their G5 when I wanted a demo of import times!..]
So there has to be a solution (my FX1 works fine with PowerBooks and a Mac mini, but I don't have a G5) ..I'd suspect a bad interaction between different ports - or recently-connected FW hardware - on the G5.
P.S: "..Then viola... iMovie crashes and all goes downhill from there.." Try removing the viola; it takes up too much space. Try a violin.

Possible iOS 5.0.1 battery fix - worked for me...

Hey everyone, I posted earlier about how iOS 5.0.1 was draining the battery on my iPhone 4. Since there are a bazillion comments/threads, I figured I'd post it here. Just like all of you, I upgraded to 5.0.1 and noticed - especially over the last few days - that the battery was draining rapidly. I had no idea why, so last night, I let my battery drain & then charged it. Alas, this morning, I lost 20 percent (with virtually no use of the phone) in no time. So, I searched a few of the forums and found a possible solution. Needless to say, this WORKED for me. Since I did this and then fully charged my iPhone this morning, the battery has been back to normal. Here goes:
Go to Settings --> General --> Reset (at the bottom) and then select "Reset All Settings." This WON'T reset your entire phone (you'll still have your apps, messages, etc.) but will reset some of the more general settings. When I did it, I had to reselect the language, set up my wifi again, and a couple of other things (a ringtone or two). It took a few minutes, and I was up and running...and still am!
Like I said, this definitely seems to have fixed the problem - no trip to the Apple Store or "factory reset" via iTunes necessary. I hope it works for you all - let me know if it does.

Thanks for the link
Ok, last question: I know how to restore my phone without a back up. If I do this will I lose my installed apps and music? I have all of my mp3's so worst case scenario I can put those back in my itunes. What about the apps that I have purchased? Thanks for your help!

Can anyone make --this fix-- work for the FONT rendering issue?

I found this bug report and proposed fix on the webkit buglist:
http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14070
Here is a link that one says can be used to fix the
rendering issue with bold fonts.
If anyone can make this work for Safari 3 on XP please let me know....
Here are the text and link to the how to:
You can fix rendering issues by changing language for non-Unicode programs. The
instruction:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/user/xpintlsupp.mspx#EVE
You should restart system after applying setting.
Hope this helps someone
If not, then call apple support and complain....
maybe if their support phones are getting hot... then they
will fix this horrible bug

I don't believe this is a support issue, it's rather a Bugdev issue. Use the Bug-Report field in Safari to report this directly to the engineers. I also think the bug is known and will be solved, it's therefore not really in the range of AppleCare. (Beta Software is usually unsupported!)

Since upgrading to V4 all my bookmarks are missing and none of the posted 'fixes' work for me. What do I do now?

Since upgrading to v4 it seems that all of my bookmarks have not been copied across. I've tried the fixes posted to restore them but they don't work for me. I can find the bookmarks folder in Windows but it won't import.
My system is running Win XP SP3 with Pentium dual core processor with 1 Gb of RAM.

Sorry, cor-el, but none of the suggestions worked. I tried deleting the more recent backups created by Firefox so that it would re-build the bookmarks from an earlier backup, but even this failed.
I'm going to try uninstalling Firefox 4 altogether then re-installing after first saving the last 'good' version of my bookmarks back-ups somewhere safe and replacing them later. I'll let you know how it goes.
If this doesn't work and unless someone can come up with a fix, I have to reconcile myself to the prospect that this latest version has trashed my bookmarks never to return - much to my disappointment and disgust. Firefox has never done this before and for me it has 'lost its edge' as a preferred brower.

[SOLVED] Kernel bug fix, works for me!

Having been hit by the kernel bug that interferes with internet access & having to downgrade the kernel to escape the bug. I am happy to say that after reading a bug report on the subject here:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11721
Courtesy of a link posted by Misfit138, I found deep down in the report dialogue that the following command as root, worked for the poster of the bug:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps
So I did a yaourt -Syu & found amongst other packages a minor kernel update, which did not solve my internet problems, but after su, & then entering the above command in the Terminal my internet works as it should!
If this solution works for you, then add the following to your /etc/sysctl.conf:
#Temporary workaround for tcp issue with 2.6.27
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
Thanks again Misfit138
I hope this solution works for all of the other bug bitten members of the Arch (& Linux) community!

IDVD 08 latest fix worked for me

As of last night, I did the software upgrade on iDVD 08 - family version - my sign on would not open at all - I have been making dvds on my husband's sign on...
did the major fix and now all is well - it has been exactly 30 days waiting for this correction to the
idvd 08 software...
hopefully no more "bugs"

hopefully no more "bugs"
Wishful thinking perhaps?

HT1218 What fix works for 'the backup disk image X could not be accessed (error-1)?

Our backup fails every time and leaves the message: The backup disk image "X" could not be accessed (error -1).
The Mac Help options all look like solutions to other problems.
How do you fix this?

Reboot the Time Capsule.

Adobe Updater not working for CS4

I have installed CS4 Master Collection on a new Windows 7 PC and it is working, but Adobe Updater isn't working properly. It first installed a few updates that were correct, but now it can't find the remaining updates (which I know exist).
The message is "Please note that some updates for the following products cannot be determined at this time," and then it lists most of the products.
I know that CS4 isn't supported any more, but I would have expected Adobe Updater to at least apply the remaining available patches.
I found another thread where it suggested the updates shown depend on the system clock. (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/913379). I set it to earlier and it briefly found the updates, but it seems to cause Adobe Updater to become unstable, so that hasn't worked for me. There was a suggestion that the Adobe certificate may be out of date (thus the System Clock fix works for some), perhaps Adobe needs to update its certificates?
How can I get Adobe Updater to apply remaining patches? Thanks.

Sound is not working for my TV Shows

My sound is not working for just my TV Shows. Sound for the music is just fine. I would appreciate any help given. Thanks!

If you go back 4 pages you'll find a lot of responses about the same problem. Towards the bottom of this link to that page, Lex came up with a band-aid for the problem until iTunes gets it fixed. Lex's fix worked for me and some others. Since I did as he suggested, I have downloaded two movies and put them over to my iPod. I can also see them on my computer screen and hear them too.

Fixed units / Fixed work - best practice?

Hi,
Have a Project that consists of mainly Fixed duration tasks, but it also includes some assembly tasks where we can use more staff if we need to finish the task earlier. Have tried to figure out wheter to use fixed units or fixed work for the assembly tasks,
but are so far unable to decide which one to use. Both of them work just fine, but which is the proper one to use, and which is the most commonly used type, fixed units or fixed work?
Say that we have an assembly task that requires 100 hours of work, and we have 2 Resources working on it and it takes 50 hours duration to complete it. Then we notice that it will require 130 hours of work so we add a third resource so we can complete
it on time. Does it really matter if we use fixed units or fixed work on these kind of tasks? We have Control of the plan with either one of them as Project asks if the duration or amount of units/work should be changed so there is really not a big deal, but
would still like to know which of them that is the most common one to use?
Kind regards //Anders

Let me further Trevors reply,
First point of Industrial Modelling is not to follow the pack, just because someone else does something doesn't make it correct. Understand the software and the situation you are modelling and select the best option. To do this it is critical
to understand the 5 options.
1.Fixed Units/Effort Driven On
    As more resources are added: the duration will decrease, Work remains, All resources working full time
2.Fixed Units/Effort Driven Off
    As more resources are added: the duration remain, Work increases, All resources working full time
3.Fixed Duration/Effort Driven On
    As more resources are added: the duration remain, Work decreases, All resources working PART time
4.Fixed Duration/Effort Driven Off
    As more resources are added: the duration remain, Work increases, All resources working full time
5.Fixed Work/Effort Driven On
    As more resources are added: the duration remain, Work increases, All resources working full time
Now to answer your question, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 1 AND 5 IS WHEN YOU CHANGE THE DURATION fixed work (1) will keep the amount of work constant and change how many hours the men/woman work each day to complete the task
as scheduled. Compareded to fixed units (5) when the amount of work will increase or decrease to match the duration.
If you not changing the duration it does not matter which one you use. Although, I recommend (5) as it will have the resources allocated at 100% (Probably most realistic) but you have a better understanding of the situation and can make a better call.

****FIX FOUND for crashing itunes****

1) Uninstall Itunes, and, if it did install Quicktime. (Only itunes would install for me)
2) reboot
3) Download/install Quicktime STANDALONE (very important)
4) install itunes
Should take care of it. After hours of frustration, it did for me.
Good luck!

hi NJranger!
Just wondering, did this fix work for anyone else?
it's very simple for you to find that out for yourself. go up to the bar in the top of the topic list. select "Answered questions" in the filter. read through the results.
you'll see that the QT standalone reinstall is a standard treatment for people receiving the "itunes has encountered an error ..." message on launch when they find that QuickTime also gives them an error message when they launch it.
what was your actual problem? have you started your own thread (using the "Post New Topic" link at the top of the Topics List) explicitly outlining your own symptoms yet?
there's a good set of tips on how to post effectively in section 2 of the terms of use:

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

At present I have no power to the Gen 7, so need to get some power to it I think. I pressed the buttons as you suggested, but nothing is showing up at this point. Thank you for your response as the more I can rule out before I take it back the better I think.

Macbook pro fan making loud noises and going really fast. Now the fan doesn't work at all and my computer gets extremely hot almost instantly. Is there a way to fix it without having to pay a ton of money to have someone fix it for me?

I've had my Macbook pro for about 3 1/2 years now. It has worked great until recently. A few months ago I noticed that the fan would always run really fast when I was doing simple tasks. After a few weeks/months, the fan was still really fast but it also started to make these loud noises. Now, it only occasionally makes the loud noise if I move my computer after its been stationary for a while. The fan no longer works at all and my computer gets exceptionally hot almost instantly when I turn it on. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to pay a ton of money to have someone fix it for me?
