Losing tool bad customixation when Norton Utilities runs a scan

I keep losing my tool bar settings and it seems to be related to Norton Utilities running a scan and cleaning clutter. If I add a new tool bar it disappears. If I add addons such as fireFTP and Morning Coffee to an existing tool bar they disappear when a scan is run. Any suggestions to prevent this?

Thanks for the replies. It's amazing how if you ask a question the answer dawns on you. Sort of a Homer Simpson moment. "DOH!". Dawned on me I could get Norton Utilities to ignore the Firefox browser files when it "cleans files" and instead just let Firefox delete the cache when I exit. Sounds like it'll solve my problem.

Getting a 502 Bad Gateway when trying to run a POST request for application on Lync UCWA on VPN

I am getting a 502 Bad Gateway when trying to run a POST request for application info on Lync UCWA ("Policy prevents request from being proxied."). When I do a request without SSL, I get a 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
Is this becouse I am on VPN and not on the internal network? There are some policy on VPN or the IIS internal that denies me access?
I have not tried it internal yet. Anyone else with this experience?

Did you figure out your issue? I'm having a similar issue. Even thought I'm able to successfully sign-in to the Lync Server and obtain a Bearer token, I'm not getting any response from the server when sending a POST request to the application URI (https://<pool_fqdn>/ucwa/oauth/v1/applications).
Wondering if it's a policy issue and if so, why user policy affects this access?
thanks.

I lose toolbar settings whenever Norton Utilities 15 runs a scan

''locking as a dupe - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/778322''
I lose my tool bar settings and window settings and it seems to be related to Norton Utilities running a scan to clean the drive. Primarily my add ons such as morning coffee, FireFTP and print disappear from the tool bars. However bookmarks remain intact. Any ideas how to prevent this. Occurs if I add a tool bar or add them to an existing toolbar.

Norton utilities claims version 24 has adware in it and will not show some URLs and disables other URLs.

after upgrading to version 24 Firefox for windows, the Norton tool bar is incompatible with Firefox, no big deal I did not like it anyway, disabled it.
But when Norton Antivirus went and scanned my system it comes back with the message that Firefox has Adware in it and must be removed.
Firefox now will not correctly display some URLs that I use Particularly the WWW.wunderground.com ones and others are just disabled. These are ones that I use with my Weather-station hobby. I am not sending this from the machine that has Norton installed but my work machine, I can work on this later when I get home.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 24: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Getting rid of old norton utilities reminders

many versions of MacOS ago I had norton utilities running - I no longer do, but every time I log on I get a message telling me it detects a new version of MACOS and that I should consult my administrator. I want to get rid of all things related to Nortons from my machine, including this last remaining message any suggestions please?

There should be an uninstaller from Norton made to help get rid of
those parts in hidden locations Norton put into the system. And a
few of them may have migrated along as you updated the OS X.
Unless you do an all-new installation from scratch and don't bring
in any of the old user accounts or previous system bits.
You could also get and use a third-party uninstaller to hunt down
Norton parts. Short of a search in the computer using Find, which
may not be good at finding items within the system itself.
• Uninstallers for Mac (free mac software downloads) CNET:
http://download.cnet.com/mac/uninstallers/3150-2096_4-0.html
Some of the items may be hiding in .plist files, or in support folders
where the apps hide parts within a system. It is better to use an
uninstaller than randomly hope to find the correct bits & trash them.
I've never used a Norton product in OS X (from 10.0 through 10.5.8)
and don't see a need to do so. I did have some Norton utilities in old
OS 9.2.2 and Before. Some were adequate for routine tasks, then.
Good luck & happy computing!

Firefox 3.6.12 won't open under WinXP. Have uninstalled/reinstalled several times. When I start the program (including safe mode) I see a Firefox process appear for about 3 seconds, then disappear. Run full scan with Norton with no malware discovered.

I've used Firefox for years with no problems. I've not installed any new extensions or programs between the time it worked great and when the problem began.
I click to start FF (shortcut, directly on program file, etc.) and I get an hourglass for a couple of seconds like it's starting, then nada. As mentioned, I see FF show up as a process in Task Manager for about 3 seconds, then disappear.
Solutions I've tried include: Uninstall/reinstall on the same drive and a separate drive, registry cleanup/optimization w/Norton Utilities, full scan for malware/viruses with Norton, stopping some autostartup programs that were installed and in use while FF was running fine.

Why does Norton Utilities fail to run if Firefox 4.0.1 is running on Win XP

Platform: Windows XP
Firefox: 4.0.1
After upgrading to 4.0.1, the Norton toolbar was declared incompatible so I no longer have Norton site certification. Today (5/13/2011) I was running Firefox and tried to run Norton Utilities. It would not display the menu. But Task Manager listed it as running as well as Firefox. So I shut Firefox down and killed Norton with the Task Manager. The I clicked on NU and it ran perfectly. I have not tried to run Firefox after loading NU.

Firefox 4 versions and later '''do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' and require at least OS X 10.5 and '''an Intel Mac'''.

Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions.
John: I back up the catalogue (and optimize/check its integrity) every time I quit Lightroom - which is why excluding it from Time Machine isn't the end of the world. I did rename the catalogue early on in my troubleshooting process - as you say, I didn't like the fact I felt out of control of it.
I tried synchronizing a folder that had some flags: when I'd done there were three flags in the folder. (I have unclicked - and clicked and then unclicked - the 'unsaved metadata' checkbox in View Options: as I say, Lightroom shouldn't be displaying these flags at all.)
Rob: Thanks for understanding why I'm fretting! I've checked my XMP sidecars, as you suggest, and they have read and write privileges. I then checked the last-modified date on the XMPs that came up with flags after I'd synchronized that folder. One of them displayed the time I'd just synchronized the folder (it's one I haven't worked on apart from applying a blanket preset in LR2, and then a blanket update to PV2012 in LR4, as I've done to all the images I haven't yet worked on individually); the other two showed the time (I presume) I worked on them yesterday. I selected these three and applied command-S: they then showed, correctly, that they'd been modified a minute before. So far, that folder's now flag-free. (As I said in my original post, the flags sometimes do seem to vanish if I save enough times - and they're unpredictable, not necessarily appearing on the same images in a collection or folder as before I do I group save/clear conflict.)
Mollysnoot: I don't see how the Mac OS would be doing this (although who knows - I'm not a software expert). I don't have any other programs open that can modify images. And since these flags can reappear instantly when I've dealt with the conflict - before I've had time to take a breath, even - I don't think they represent any actual modifications.

What do do when disk utilities fail?

Hi. I have an iBook that has been switching back and forth between OS X 10.3.5 and OS 9.2.2 pretty smoothly (recently replaced the DC-in board).
One of the OS 9 programs (Pro Tools) is crashing and giving me an error message saying I need to defragment. Running Norton Speed Disk optimizer in OS 9 normally takes care of this problem. But now, at around the 3/4 complete mark, I get an error message saying the disk is damaged and needs repair. When I run Norton Disk Doctor, it eventually returns an error message saying it can't repair the disk -- too bad.
I have already run the OS 9 Apple Disk Utility and, on the OS X side, repaired the disk permissions. What now?
Howie B.

Okay -- so DiskWarrior ties up your computer for 2 weeks while it does it's thing?
If your hard drive directory is disastrously scrambled, DW can take days to sort things out, but in 95%-99% of all cases it takes oonly a few minutes. Norton Disk Doctor is perfectly capable of scrambling it disastrously, but if your Mac still starts up and runs, things probably aren't that bad yet.
A damaged directory makes it likely that there will be some loss of data if you simply copy the entire drive to a backup disk now. The bad directory means the OS can't properly locate every file that it knows is supposed to be on your hard drive, so some of them aren't going to be copied properly. It might be just one insignificant file, or dozens or hundreds of important ones, that are damaged in part or lost altogether in backing up. The ideal time to back up your drive is when you know it's all in good order.
Erasing your hard drive will also erase the bad directory, so it's an alternative solution to the problem if your data is already backed up. Copying the contents of a backup that you make now, with a damaged directory, back onto your internal drive after erasing it won't fix any files that have already been corrupted, but it will at least copy everything — damaged or not — back into a new, undamaged directory.

Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?

Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?
Using OS 10.6.8 and Magiv Video in iDVD, I am having a hard time creating a decent DVD. The videos per se are fine, but the intro menu and menu text and images are extremely poor quality and hard to read. What is going on?

Hi my notes on this - might be of help
DVD quality
1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
About double on DL DVDs.
2. Video from
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD or other resolutiona as result will suffer) or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
(I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
deliver anything better that this.
HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
_ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
_ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
_ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
• Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
• Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
(x4 by some and may be even better)
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU

What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
• Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

Error when trying to run Advisor

Hi!
I get the following error when trying to run the Advisor (Application Builder > Application xxx > Utilities > Advisor) over our application:
Unknown type! View: APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_PROC Column: CONDITION_EXPRESSION1 Value: WHEN_ANY_ITEM_IN_COMMA_DELIMITED_LIST_OF_PAGES_HAS_CHANGED
... this happens every time, even if I uncheck all boxes except one (e.g. "References with substitution syntax").
I'm wondering if there is something wrong with our Apex installation as I can't see any other references to this problem in the forum. We don't seem to be suffering any other problems so I expect it's something small...
Has anyone else ever encountered this and does anyone know of a solution? I would like to use the Advisor for some QA processes as it looks like a handy tool.
Many thanks in advance,
Alex.

Hi Alex,
very interesting. Looks like one of your processes uses the WHEN_ANY_ITEM_IN_COMMA_DELIMITED_LIST_OF_PAGES_HAS_CHANGED condition which has been deprecated for a very long time.
If you execute the following query in your workspace schema, you should find those processes which do use the condition. You might want to check if the reported pages/processes are still used in your application.
select application_id,
       application_name,
       page_id,
       page_name,
       process_name
from APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_PROC

Norton Utilities Issues? Please help

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question but I hope someone can help me. I have been having issues with my ibook so I decided to run Norton Utilities. I know you can't fix the problems unless you boot from the CD. But when I boot from the CD and the emergency launcher comes up only the CD"S show up in the box not any of the drives. What am I doing wrong?

If you're attempting to use Norton Utilities on a hard drive with OS X installed on it, that would be wrong. Consider yourself lucky that it wouldn't allow you to proceed.
To do hard drive maintenance on a Mac OS X 10.3 volume, try booting into Safe Mode. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
You will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). What is the hard drive capacity and how much space remains available on it? Repair permissions on it.
See if a little hard drive maintenance helps things out.

Norton Utilities Tiger update

hi. i have this common problem with uninstalling Norton Utilities entirely. Every time I update my Tiger a Norton Utilities window appears when restarting my computer. You probably know this:
http://homepage.mac.com/pniklas/PhotoAlbum35.html
I've searched topics here. There is a nice hint here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=741264&#741264
User macjack says to delete invisible norton files from my hard drive via Cocktail. I did that, but still this norton utilities window reappears when I log out and then log in. I have searched for "symantec" and "norton" files via Spotlight and Activity Monitor There is nothing left.
I have found this file on my hard drive called: .symSchedScanLockxz
I am not certain if I can delete it but it looks that way. Can you assure me it's ok to get rid of it?
Do you know any other files that should be erased manually?
Thanks.
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

As you probably already know Norton Utilities is not compatible with OS X 10.4 Tiger. Symantec ceased development of Norton Utilities for Macintosh and Norton SystemWorks for Macintosh 2 years ago.
Follow Duane's advice. This uninstaller works with Tiger and will find the 30 or so "invisibles" you will never find if you do it manually.
However it may leave behind some files. Depending on which Norton you have installed.
Download and run Cocktail in "Interface" > "Finder" choose to see "invisibles". Or use OnyX.
Look for files like these on the top level of your hard drive:
/Norton FS Volume 2
/NAV Mac 800QS File
/Norton FS Data 808K
/Norton FS Volume
/Norton FS Index
Find those files drag them (not command-delete) to the trash and empty it.
Get TechToolPro or DiskWarrior 3.0.3 if you want to have a good utility on hand.
Good luck.
EDIT: LOL! I didn't see your reference to me at first. So you must have run the uninstaller as well?
