Hey guys,
Can someone let me know or link me to a doc that explains how to stop my phones from upgrading their firmware after I upgrade my pub and subs?

  • Cannot reply to text messages from certain contacts after iOS5 upgrade. Anyone able to help?

    I upgraded to iOS5 on my iPhone 4. Since the upgrade, I have not been able to send text messages to certain contacts, I receive messages from them ok, but when I reply, it is unable to send. Any help appreciated - thanks!

    Apple offers a ridiculous "solution" for a problem they created.
    I recently switched from iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S5. It became clear shortly after activation that I was not receiving texts from other iPhone users.
    After a quick search it became clear that the issue was with iMessage. That is, otheriPhone users were sending me texts via iMessage. While this problem appears to be widespread and my search revealed a class action lawsuit against Apple for this issue, there were no viable solutions.
    In a nutshell, Apple support told me the ONLY fixes to this issues were to 1. Have all of my contacts delete our text thread and 2. Wait 45 days for iMessage to expire. This is outrageous and not a solution at all.

  • My iMac just shuts down when running flash facebook applications, after I upgraded to Mountain Lion...Any ideas?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, quite often, and when I run flash facebook games, PC freezes and restarts... Any ideas??? Had no problems before with previous OS...

    I think I figured out Firefox, I went under Help > Troubleshooting Information > Reset Firefox.
    I only have one account on my computer. Honestly I don't even really know how multiple accounts work. I've never played around with it. I already allowed Java - should I disable it?

  • K8N Doesn't want to work w/ certain keyboard after PSU upgrade.

    So I installed my Enermax 465 VE(FM) today and after trying to boot the computer as always with exact same setup as other PSU I get no boot...  If I unplug the original Kensiko natural wave keyboard it boots fine without the keyboard plugged in, but if I put it back in, it starts for a split second and dies.. I had to replace the keyboard with another non natural one and it boots again, this is really confusing. Anyone else experience keyboard problems?
    It says on the Kensiko label that the board is Input: 5V 275mA I'm not sure if this changes anything.

    Hey the jumpers are right, because they were set the same and speakers worked just fine before I put in the new and more powerful PSU. I even reset the bios w/ jumper and set everything in it again. I don't know what the deal is.

  • Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go.

    Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go. I've connected the printer directly to my MacBook's USB port and it works fine. Any suggestions?

    I have an iP4500, which I assume is quite similar to your model.
    I had to reset the printing system to get things printing again. Only takes a few minutes and no problems at all since I did it a week ago or so.
    Plug the printer into the USB port on the Express and restart the printer.
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Print and Fax
    Right-Click in the printer area on the left and select Reset Printing System
    Then click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list to install the printer again.

  • How do I lock down an iPad from having certain apps removed?

    Hello,
    We are a Microsoft-based enterprise that has purchased iPad 2 devices as a means of reducing costs of wireless services as well as integration with the 3G adapter (to reduce damage and theft). While I have had great success with the iPhone Configuration Utility and an MDM server, I need to ensure that users cannot remove the Find My iPad App which we use to track employees and ensure they do not lose or steal the device (since they can't remove the battery).
    What can I do to lock down this app from being removed and also, I want to give these employees access to load whatever they wish on these iPad units. We control their access through a VPN to a Microsoft Terminal Server and with Microsoft Exchange but I don't want iTunes and the CEO's credit card being used to purchase apps. Any ideas anyone? I know that this can be done and if not, it will be done by me.

    I'm not sure about the apps, but to prevent theft, you'll also need to disable the power button and the ability to restore the ipad. You might also want to superglue in your Sim card because if they remove that, it wont be tracked unless they connect to WiFi.
    Also, I'm not so sure it is an app on the iPad. I think it is built into the mail, calendar and contacts options if you have a Mobile me account.  http://www.apple.com/ipad/find-my-ipad-setup/

  • After I upgraded my iphone 4 with the ios 7.1.1 it locks up sending text messages.  It will send a few, then mid conversation I will have to turn my phone off and back on, sometimes a few times, before it will allow me to send or receive messages again.

    After I upgraded my Iphone 4 with the ios 7.1.1 it locks up while sending text messages.  I can usually send a few then will have to restart my phone(often more than once) to get it to send and receive messages again.  I have done a back up and complete reset and that has not fixed the problem.    Have been told that the ios 7.1.1 just isn't compatible with the Iphone 4 so that's why it is locking up so often, but I am hoping someone else may have a better answer since it can't be undone.  Thanks!

    7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Data network locked down when usb tethering with a lot of request (i.e. 3 to 4 tab pages and IRC)

    Hi, i am currently using the usb tethering on my ubuntu desktop(this also happened in win8 desktop) which the data network will be locked down when open 3 to 4 tab pages in 3-4 seconds or requesting large amount of data traffic (i.e. downloading movie)
    This locked down will be recovered only  after a few minutes (4 minutes at least) when there is no more request maked.
    OR reboot the phone again. 
    This doesn't affect receiving calls, only the data network is locked down
    I do see this is a software problem as i have asked for a exchange for phone, the same thing happened again.
    Does anyone get the same problem as i experienced?
    The firmware is v.114 
    Thanks for help

    Hi z1CUser
      based on your information, i believe there is not problem with the phone, since even second phone is doing same thing as first, what I can suggest is
    >check with different phone if possible and see whether it does same, incase 'Yes" then its might be with the internet connection i believe, you can give a call to Internet Service Provider, stating the issue faced in 2 different phones
    >if possible Refresh the Router and try to connect it again
    >Last you can try to restore the phone once

  • HELP - Macbook Pro Locked Down

    Ok, to make a long story short, I bought a used Macbook Pro and the password I was given is not working. The person I bought the computer from seemed fishy, I should have realized something was wrong before agreeing to buy the computer. The computer seems like it is a demo machine from an Apple Store or some other retail store. It is locked down and I can not gain access to the administrator account. I have tried everything I found on the internet. I called Apple up to inquire about this machine to see if it is marked/reported as being fraudlent/stolen/counterfiet and they confirmed the serial number is fine and it is an official apple computer. They said I have hardware support until end of March 2011, but no longer have software support. Oh by the way, I am new to Macs, this is my first Mac, so I'm not familiar with them. Not a very good first experience. I guess its my fault for buying a used computer without receiving the install/backup disks.
    Below is a summary of what is happening and what I tried:
    When I turn the computer on, it logs in fine. Everything seems to function fine. But if I try to do anything administratively it asks for password and I can not do anything.
    I tried the following things:
    - entering single user mode, removing the AppleSetupDone file. After I reboot from that, it just logs in as normal and doesn't prompt for new account. When I went back into single user mode, the AppleSetupDone file was back.
    - entered single user mode, changing password via command line. Seems like it changes fine with no errors. After I reboot, logs in fine and I try password I changed to and it doesn't accept it.
    - Tried putting OS 10.6.3 into DVD and booting from that by holding c key, but it ends up going to grey screen with Apple logo and does nothing.
    - Tried putting OS 10.6.3 into DVD and pressing "Option" key while booting to choose which device to boot from. I choose DVD and it goes to grey screen with Apple logo and does nothing.
    - I tried formating the hard drive, went to single user mode, did a rm -rf / Seemed like it erased the hard drive, so I figured it has to boot from DVD. Well when I turned on computer, it booted fine and logged in as normal. Went back into single user mode and everything was restored as was.
    - Tried clearing the PRAM and NVRAM thinking maybe there was something in the non-volatile memory, but that did nothing. Logged in as normal and still would not allow me to boot from DVD.
    Someone suggested the firmware was password protected, but I had read if you hold the option key down while booting that a lock would appear if the firmware was password protected and that didn't happen, I got the HD or DVD options to boot.
    Seems like the computer is locked down somehow to restrict anyone from modifying anything and at bootup, it restores everything to original state. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Does anyone know how Apple stores lock down their demo computers to avoid customers from modifying them? Is there something in the hardware? Are there jumpers set somewhere that could be causing the machine to do a unique protected/recovery bootup? Someone mentioned pulling the hard drive and formatting it in another computer. Do you think this would do it for me?
    Thank you for the help,
    Kevin

    Proof? I bought it used from someone. All I have is the computer and charger. When I talked to the Apple representative on the phone about the serial number, he said the machine has not been registered yet. So what would the proof be?

  • What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

    What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

    You want to allow someone to open your document and fill out the form (in the fields you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here's the answer - assuming you are using Acrobat Pro and someone will be opening the PDF using at least Acrobat Reader 9 and up:
    Tools > Protection > Encrypt < Encrypt with Password
    Answer YES to change the security.
    A new window opens:
         Do NOT select Document Open (or that will require a password to open the document.)
         Select: Permissions (Check the box next to "Restrict editing and printing of the document.")
         Change the following 2 settings from the drop-down box:
              Printing Allowed: Select High Resolution
              Changes Allowed: Select Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing signature fields
              Leave selected: "Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired"
              Change Permissions Password (insert a strong password)
              Leave all other settings alone in "Options"
              OK - OK
              Re-enter the Permissions Password (the one you entered above)
              OK - OK
              Save the PDF to apply the security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the document title]

    I have a Win7Pro SP1 PC locked down with a Group Policy as it is a public facing PC. PDF fillable forms cannot be completed when logged on as the restricted user. The forms work as a normal user. What are the user requirements/permissions needed to fill forms?

    Well, try this (I was able to fix my with these steps):
    Go Utilities > Disk Utility
    Select your Startup Disk, e.g. Macintosh HD
    Then, under the First Aid Tab, click Verify Disk Permissions.
    If there are errors, then click repair Disk Permissions.
    After it is done, restart the computer and see if your problem is resolved.
    I hope this help.

  • Can we lock down the system for BW object and not bex objects

    Hello,
    I have a question about object changeability. We want to lock down the BW production system but leave it open for adhoc query. Can we lock down the BW system only for few objects like Cubes, ODS, Infoobjects, Infosets, Multiproviders, and keep the system open for Bex objects like Query, varaibles and also for Infopackges and DTP's.
    Which tcode can we use for this ?
    Thanks,

    hi, usaully production system will be non changeable for all objects.. but as far as SAP BW is concerned we can make certain objects changeable by setting as follows..
    in production go to RSA1 - Transport Connection, select Object changeability button from tool bar, here you will find a list of objects which can be made changeable in a closed system.. just click on required objects and set it to Everything Changeable..

  • Locking down Win 8.1

    For security reasons, i need to investigate how to lock down windows 8.1 so that the user is restricted to the desktop only and only has access to a
    certain few applications.
    These PC's are in a domain and are used for either Accounting or POS.
    The software is what it is and changing the software is not an option. 
    Right now, the users log into XP machines. The desired programs auto-load and all is well.
    As of April 1st, the XP POS machines will no longer be PCI compliant. We prefer to step up to win 8.1 stations, but locking them down via group policy is proving to be difficult.
    We don't want third party tools. 
    Certainly this must be achievable via group policy.
    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Trying to lock down DNS server settings to force use of OpenDNS

    I'm trying to lock down my time capsule on my home network to only allow outgoing DNS traffic to go through OpenDNS. I  have an 18 year old son, with his own computer, who bypasses my OpenDNS by entering the DNS settings for Google on his Windows 7 machine. I have no control over his machine, only my router.
    A discussion on the OpenDNS forums mentions blocking port 53 and forcing all DNS traffic through the OpenDNS server settings I've entered into my router, but I can't see any way to do this on the time capsule. Am I missing something?

    There is nothing you can do.. TC do not have access to firewall.. at least for ipv4.
    You need a much better router.. bridge the TC and grab a Netgear WNDR3800 and run Gargoyle firmware. The power will be put back in your hands.. then he will buy his own 3G connection.. maybe at 18 it is rather too late.
