Low voltage radings? read this 1st

I was concened about a problem with the rig in my sig, I had a low 12 v rail of 11.43
so the brand new shiny 600w PS I just bought , or so I thought, was at fault, so I pop in my old trusty Antec 550 True control , same problem.
humm what is up? I bring home from work my good old trusty DVOM and check voltages on the molex connectors with the system powered up, now I get 12.35 and the 5V rail was 4.99
so before you run out and get another PS best check it 1st , might save you some bucks!
I emailed MSI about the issue , so we will see how that goes

this issue goes for most motherboard out there.
its partly because they use cheap parts.
a cpy temp can easily be 20celcius off.
also some programs shows wrong from time to time so always check in bios.
and 11.4 is borderline.
5% -+ on 3.3v 5v and 12v rails is within acceptable.

IPhone 4S low earphone volume - read this!

Hi!
I have read a number of threds on this topics but continue to read this. I bought my iPhone 4S and was happy with it. After a few months I discovered that one of the earphone pieces (the one that the microphone is not installed on) had much lower volume.
First I thought that the song I was paying was the problem (error in recording), secondly I tried to find the balance between the left and the right channel (Settings-General-Accessibility under the heading Hearing). I started to slide the bar to maximize the volume first Left, then Right. In my case the volume was much higher on the right channel (microphone installed on the cord). To eliminate a potential song error I doubled checked the same mp3 song in another player and it worked out fine.
So, the last thing I could do was to buy a new set of Apples earphones. I unpacked them and then it worked better for a few weeks time but now I'm back where I started. Same problem.
I'm running iOS version 5.1.1. Any suggestion how to solve this?
Regards,
Jens

Hi!
Finally I came up with a solution... Don't use Apples earphones. I switched to these and they are working perfect: http://www.jays.se

Thinking of getting that dock extender for your iPhone? Read this 1st

I recently tried using the new Sendstation dock extender to allow docking of my iPhone WITHOUT having to remove the Belkin clear plastic (very hard to remove as well as put on - for disabled folks like myself especially) from the iPhone. Like many others, I also use the Apple Bluetooth headset and love the elegance of the combo phone/bluetooth dock that Apple supplies with the Bluetooth headset. Very nice. I also wanted to stick with this case as I felt it gave the most protection without obscuring the beauty of Apple's hardware design.
UNFORTUNATELY, the Sendstation dock extender (which works fine in Universal iPod docks) does not fit very well at all in either the standard iPhone dock or the iPhone/Bluetooth combo dock - yes, even with the little stand gadget they include with the different rubber bumpers to adjust for different models of iPods. In the combo dock, it's a little tenous and it seems that the pins of the connectors could bend really easily given how flimsy the seating of the phone on top of the port is.
This is a business opportunity for someone (make an extender that is better designed, basically) OR Sendstation needs to get busy and make an insert that sits IN both the standard iPhone dock as well as the Apple combo iPhone/Bluetooth dock such that the phone fits properly and all pins of the connector are well connected. Also, Apple might consider re-thinking it's dock design at least for their combo dock. Had they raised the pin connector up higher and made the cavity it sits in a bit larger front to back, there would have been room to stick in one of the adapters. Maybe someone else here has the new set of adapters available and that might help with fixing this problem. If so, please post.
If you're contemplating buying the Sendstation dock extender, be aware of this design flaw/inadequacy before you plunk down your $.
If this post is not helpful to you or you don't like it, there is no need to flame. Simply ignore and move on.

It's misleading - that "disclaimer". The problem wouldn't be so bad if it just didn't "fit fully" into the dock. I mean - so big deal as long as it works and nothing is harmed. But... that's just it; the way it DOES fit - i.e., kind of a 1/2 arse fit - could possibly bend the tiny pins in the connector. THAT is a bigger problem then simply characterizing it as "...doesn't fit fully..."
Therefore, beware people thinking of buying this per my 1st post here.

Trouble shooting guide! Read this first!!!! rev 13-1-2004

(Revision 13-1-2004)
Hi there,
Follow everything on the list, even if it doesn't look like it would solve your problem, most problems are created somewhere else!
To give some examples:
CPU won't run FSB133....mostly powersupply or CPU-cooler.
Videocard won't load drivers....mostly powersupply.
Sound won't work.....mostly metal-standoff's.
Windows won't install, file read error.....mostly CPU-cooler, Bad-ram or powersupply.
That is why you need to go over the entire list and check all!
Before you start doing anything, remove the power and make sure that you have touched the metal case of your system. If you don't you could damage your system due to static discharge!
Thanks to Arioch and Dragon60 for comments on this.
There are several reasons why this happens.....to name the most commen:
CPU speeds
You have a Duron, that CPU is 100FSB!
You have a Athlon(XP) and it's showing the wrong speed, set the CPU-FSB to 133....
Or 166 when it's a FSB333 CPU....or 200 when it's a FSB400 CPU....
Some boards have a jumper to set it, other do it in the BIOS.
Check your manual for this.
Speeds must be:
Duron upto 1300MHz = 100MHz (=200DDR)
Duron from 1400MHz = 133MHz (=266DDR)
Athlon B type = 100MHz (=200DDR)
Athlon C type = 133MHz (=266DDR)
Athlon XP - C type = 133MHz (=266DDR)
Athlon XP - D type = 166MHz (=333DDR)
Athlon XP - E type = 200MHz (=400DDR)
Use this link to see if your motherboard actually supports your CPU.
The TBred CPU's (0.13) start from XP-1700 and up, but not all boards support this CPU and they either show on the D-LED all red or don't start at all!!
The K7T266pro2 is an exception, it can be made to support the TBred CPU's, on this link you find all the info on how to make it work.
Many reports have told us that FSB333 CPU's work on KT3-Ultra boards work just fine, but it's unsupported by MSI, we don't know why....
As for mulipliers with AMD CPU's, just set them Automatic, as they are hardcoded on the CPU themselves and will allway's be correctly, even if if you think the BIOS doesn't know it.
How to recognise the CPU:
If you look on the dice, there are letters after the speed.
The last letter will tell you the FSB of the CPU.
B=100MHz (=200DDR)
C=133MHz (=266DDR)
D=166MHz (=333DDR)
E=200MHz (=400DDR)
To recognise a CPU quickly, checkout this link.
Thanks Mellops.
The MHz setting must match your setting in the BIOS for FSB value, as it translates to the correct FSB setting for the CPU.
The best way to identify a processor is by using the OPN (Ordering Part Number) which can be found on the processor (E.g. AXDA 2700 D K V 3 D).
Detailed information on the code can be found in this AMD document. (Thanks Hans)
CPU Cooling
CPU cooler not made for your CPU, check if it can handle your CPU....
CPU cooler mounted wrong!, take it off and check it as it will fit 2 way's, but only 1 is the right one, examine very carefull!
The cooler has a lower part that needs to go over the bump (higher part) of the socket, if it's not over there it won't cool the entire dice and WILL give you trouble.
Also check if it's making contact with the entire dice of the CPU...
Make sure you regrease it again, the same grease/paste can't be used twice!
YOU MAY NEVER USE A THERMALPAD OR GREASE AGAIN! APPLY NEW EVERY TIME YOU TAKE THE COOLER OFF!!
top 2 show how not to do it
Used too much silver-grease! It will shorten the bridges on the CPU, clean it and use white-paste.
(Silver-paste is not recommended in any case!)
The latest AMD XP CPU's (XP-2200 and above) require a copperbased heatsink because the dice is smaller and generates far more heat per square cm then the "old" CPU's do.
How to check the cooler before taking it off.
There is a simple way to check the cooler without taking it off.
You do this by first checking your idle temp with PCAlert, it should be below 50-55C.
Then you download a client from www.distributed.net, let this client run for about 10 minutes while monitoring the temps, after about 1 minute or so it should stabilize and your temp should have gone up about 10-15C (max).
If it still goes up or the system crashes, there is a big chance you mounted the CPU-cooler wrong.
When you can't run this check, try with FSB100, if the system does run the check then, it could be well that the cooler is mounted wrong or your powersupply doesn't have enough power.
***** YOU CAN'T CHECK THE CPU COOLER ON TEMPS OR FAN RUNNING, IT MUST BE TAKEN OFF THE CPU!!! *****
Cleaning the CPU and Cooler - thanks to Dragon60 for his addition.
An additional comments about this is what you clean the CPU with in this situation. The best thing to use is isopropyl alcohol. If this is not available then metholated spirits would do.
Make sure you allow the CPU to dry properly before you put it back in. This also means DO NOT try and clean it whilst it is still in the socket as some of the cleaning fluid, grease and dirt may get underneath and short some pins.
Last but not least. DO NOT use acetone to clean anything inside your PC. (or outside for that matter) It MAY not do any damage BUT it may disolve some parts.
Thanks Dragon60.
If you don't understand what we are talking about on this cooler matter, then read this link: AMD CPU & Cooling guide
Powersupplies
Powersupply too little, most commen cheap 300W CPU's can't handle an XP-1700 or above, try a better one to be sure.
Make sure your powersupply has about 185W combined on the 3.3+5V and that the 3.3V has 20A or above.
That should be enough for most systems.
On the latest boards the 12V has become very important too, expecialy with TBred CPU's.
Make sure yours can give 18A or more on the 12V line too.
I have found that a lot of cheap 350W will fail with modern boards and TBred CPU's.
Allway's make sure you have a decend PSU, it never fails to spent a bit more on that part!
Borrow a bigger one from a friend if you are not sure....
More info about powersupplies: Click here.
And the second you must read: Click here.
Powersupplies with these type of numbers on them or higher should be fine:
3.3V - 28A or better
5V - 30A or better
12V - 18A or better
Watch out!! Cheap PSU's like Q-Tec come nowhere near these figures!!
Do NOT trust the 300W or 400W rating on them!!!
Q-Tec is about the worst of them all!!
Metalclips
Stand-off's left between the board and the case, take the board out and check for too many of those metal-clips, they can shorten circuits and cause al sorts of problems (most of the time audio problems)
RAM
Ram problems, don't try to run with PC100 (SDram boards) when you have a 133FSB CPU, get PC133 ram of decend quality.
In any case, don't use cheap quality ram (Crucial seems decend, but give's a lot of problems, I consider these cheap quality too :P ), replace the ram with another brand to see if it fixes it....
DDR ram speeds:
Duron upto 1300/Athlon-B =100FSB=PC-1600=DDR200
Duron from 1400 =133FSB=PC-2100=DDR266
Athlon-C/XP upto 2600 =133FSB=PC-2100=DDR266
Athlon XP D-type and above =166FSB=PC-2700=DDR333
Athlon XP E-type and above =200FSB=PC-3200=DDR400
Higher DDR speeds are only a must if you try to overclock, they have no speed gain if run at the correct speed. You may use faster ram on a slower system, the speeds given are what is needed minimum.
Perform RAM test tools, ie http://www.memtest.org if you suspect RAM is faulty, such as BSOD or data corruption. [added by Maesus]
Try your system allway's with 1 stick of ram, adding more sticks can give all the trouble too.
Some sticks just won't work in pair and a lot fail when you put 3 or more in the system.
When you want to use 3 sticks, make very sure you use the MSI tested ones, they are your best chance that they work without problems.
If still nothing, try to seat the ram in another slot, sometimes they work better in another slot.
Thanks boost
Or rise the Ram voltage a little, be carefull doing this!
Sometimes this works when you have a lot of ram in there.
BIOS
BIOS settings not right, clear the CMos and start with the default settings, if it works, try setting ONLY the FSB to 133 if needed, nothing more.....
And go further from there......
Clearing CMos
When you clear the CMos, make sure that all power is cut from the system.
This is done by takeing the wall-plug out or use the switch on the powersupply to turn it off.
On most boards, as far as I know all MSI boards, you must set the JBat1 to position 2-3 (clear position) for about 10 seconds, then set it back to 1-2 (keep data position)
After this your CMos should be cleared and you can turn the system back on.
In some rare cases it's needed to take the battery out too for a minute or so.
It can happen that the system will prompt you to set the BIOS again, go into the BIOS and set everything you need, then save the settings.
Thanks fguevara.
Harddisks
Harddisk is giving problems, most of the time with WD drive's, they are jumpered somewhat strange compared to others:
No jumper = Stand-Alone no other drive attached to the cable.
Jumper master = if you have a slave drive attached
Jumper slave = when it's slave to another drive
Harddisk is doing weird things:
Make sure you have connected the blue connector to the board, and don't let the other end of the cable unused, make sure there is a device connected to it.
The middle connector can be left into the air without problems if not needed.
IBM harddisks seem to fail a lot, try Drive-Fitness-Test on it, see if it has problems.
Click here for DFT
Other brand drives can have problems too, make sure they are ok, as harddisk failure can cause all sorts of problems.
Allway's be sure your harddisk is in tip-top shape, if not, replace it and try another to verify.
For more information read this: Click here.
To know what harddisks your motherboard support, use this link.
To enable harddisk over 137GB in Win2000 edit this registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Atapi\Parameters]
"EnableBigLba"=dword:00000001
The KT4 raid boards only support 1 harddisk on IDE3, the rest must be SATA drive's!!
Harddisk/power led not functioning - thanks to Tweetyoost
If your HD led or power led not work try to switch(wrong + or - side) the connectors on the motherboard.
leds will work only when + or - is correct
Thanks Tweetyoost.
Floppy drive's
If your floppy drive doesn't work or the led stay's on all the time.
Make sure the floppy is set correctly in the BIOS, as the BIOS doesn't autodetect a floppy drive.
Check the cable, make sure the twist in the cable is at the floppy-drive side.
If the light stay's on, flip the connector at the floppy-drive arround.
Sometimes it happens that even after all this, they still don't work, try with another drive from another brand.
Not able to enter the BIOS or lockup
When you try to enter the BIOS it won't go in there or
lockup, but your system is running fine.
This symtom can happen when your CPU-Cooler is giving spikes on the coolerwire.
Try with another brand of cooler to test if it solves it.
Keyboard and optical mouse lights stay on after power off[/U]
Some motherboards have a jumper called JKBV1, this jumper is located (mostly) near the keyboard connector, put it in the other position.
If your board doesn't have the jumper, try to find the following BIOS settings and turn them off:
resume on KBC
resume on PS/2
resume by alarm
USB ports not working[/U]
Check in the BIOS if the ports are enabled.
USB2.0 ports are supported in Win2000+SP3 and XP+SP1, just let the OS reinstall the ports and they should work.
Thanks Stygge
Replacing parts and the system won't boot after
It's never a good idea to replace stuff like CPU and ram without taking the board out of the case.
But if you still like to do so, please support the board, because if you don't you might bent the board a little and cause other components to make bad contact.
Allways support the board when you replace stuff, no matter what!
Also make sure your system can take the replacement, it could happen for example that your powersupply can't handle your changed videocard from GF2MX to GF4Ti4600.
Test all the parts in another system
Make sure that the new part is in good working order in the first place (in particular: videocard, CPU, memory): try it in another system, or have it demonstrated by the one you bought it from if possible.
Testing might also give you a clue on what is actually wrong in your own system.
Thanks HansH.
Checking the powersupply
Don't do this if you don't know what you are doing!
Disconnect the powersupply.
Orientate the 20pin Powerconnector with the clip up.
Locate pin 4 and pin 8 top row, mostly green and black wire.
Use a wire to short them (or better a 12V test lamp).
Now connect the power and the fan inside the powersupply should start spinning.
If it doesn't your powersupply maybe dead.
Thanks HansH.
KT4 users
Please read the Un-Official KT4 guide if you have CRC errors or strange crashes.
These can be BIOS problems.
In any case !!!Only flash if the system is stable!!!
Set default-settings and FSB100 to make it stable first!!!
Motherboards making a Siren-sound
If your board is making the sound of a firetruck, BEEP-BOOP-BEEP-BOOP...
Check the folowing:
1. CPU too hot
2. chassis intrusion was enabled in the BIOS
3. PSU is below min/max allowable value
Stutter in audio
Remove your antivirus software.
We have heard a few cases where the stuttering was created by badly behaving antivirus software.
Disable cpu halt command if it's in the BIOS (Thanks Pascal16)
Windows
Windows2000/XP won't run stable, try to disable APIC and install again....
Not all drivers/devices like the APIC.
Windows2000/XP won't install USB2.0, install the latest servicepak (SP3 Win2000 or SP1 WinXP).
Let Windows rediscover the USB ports, they should work now.

Dude thank-you for your wonder detailed knowldge, I have descovered that lets say xp 1700 in a ultra 2 can only handle at the most 143fsb mult at 12.
Given the settings" irq's are a major",part of directing traffic and power? example:
Sound blaster Live , uses two irq's most common at"Auto" is, irq 10, or 5, and Sound blaster 16 emulation usually takes irq 5,. I have found that the sound card in slot3 works great , but to do this I had to change the Bio's and assign slot 3 irq 7 . and make sure printer port has share irq enabled
Problems that accure with bad traffic are like this. Start a dedicated server. minimize than start your game?":censored: no sound what could be wrong"? Shoot another problem Connection problem?. The computer nerd is getting trouble over the ordeal. ANSWER! IRQ can fix the problem, Study the irq and make changes as you go. "what would it be like with no stop signs,,,that is the same as a irq. with the same knowldge this topic brings IRQ need to be clearly understood.
I can honestly say my system is error free and running like a dream.
xp 2500 barton 333
creative sound 5.1gamers.
512 mb kingston ram 400 mhz
boadband either onboard.
MSI 5700 128 mb ddr
Setting are:
163 fsb
mult of 11
ddr 333
video memory clock down to 450mhz
3d clock to 390mhz
The delta is a smooth running board also I want to mention to the person with crackling sounds, change the irq like I did, that fix the problem and the power is totaly too good to be true.

Getting low voltage from the Macbook Pro Case

I'm getting low voltage throughout the casing whenever the brick is plugged in my 2011 macbook pro 13". I can run my fingers across the case and get the 60hz hum from the ac current. Pretty neat effect, not sure if it's totally safe or not. I tried plugging it into several outlets and changed the surge protector, with no changes happening. Anyone else getting this issue? Thank you for listening!!!

[Athlon64] Low Voltage Problem

Just built a new box and ran MSI PC Alert to check voltages, temps, etc. The monitor program reported all temps, fan speed and voltages as good except 3.3v was reported as 0.56v!!! I immediately checked the Bios and found the following voltages: Vcore/1.5v 12v/11.9 5v/4.9 Batt/3.0.
Since I couldn't find a phone number for MSI Support, I sent them a request form listing my concern. No response for 4 days. Sent Antec a request and they advised me to check their power supply with a volt meter which I did. The voltages were right on. The system ran very stable for a few days then started having the BSOD. I continued to monitor temps, fan speeds and voltages and all appeared fine with the exception of the errant 3.3 v which is steady at 0.56. The BSOD may be related to my US Robotics wireless lan as the common denominator seemed to be when accessing the internet. Updated the driver for this devise this AM and haven't had a problem since. My main concern is the low 3.3v reading. Any suggestions on what I can do to bring this reading into specs would be appreciated.

Hi,I also have a the same problem,3.3V shows as0.56v with my k8m neo-v
But its working solid as rock,no other problems
I installed PC Alert3 and 4 ,speed fans,and EVEREST to check it out.But All of them showed 0.56V LOL
No replies from the MSI support as usual.
First i thought it was a BIOS problem before I saw your post,because my sempron+3000 cannot use
cool and quiet . Waiting for the BIOS to support cool and quiet. 64 2800 is OK.
I checked with different PSU(much powerful) units and diferrent combinations of memories(all tested with mem86)
I still dont know if this is a hardware or software problem,I am gonna try with WIN2K not XP and
find out whether it still shows 0.56V.
I know that if its really 0.56V ,it will not even boot.I am thinking its a sensor problem of the mobo
since everything is working fine,only 3.3V problem.

Low Voltage

We have 2 Apple XServes and one of them is reporting Low Voltage on the CPU 1 Vcore at 1.21 volts. The second Vcore is reporting normal at 1.27 volts. The other XServe is reporting a normal voltage of 1.27volts on both Vcores.
Is this anything to worry about and what exactly is going? Any help or thoughts would be very much appreciated!
thanks in advance,
Bill

The word from Apple on this is that the voltage core thresholds are somehow hardcoded into the CPU itself. If you compare one box to another, the thresholds can be different.
While your number may not be out of spec for the G5 processor, it is possible to be out of spec for the thresholds preset in the processor. (Extremely annoying, no?)
My experience with this required that we swap out processors to fix the problem. Little else we tried would fix it, as there is no way to change the thresholds that System Monitor sees.

Low Voltage and Audio (AC97) Lost in Game

Hi, someone please help me. i have search the forum with no luck.
i have installed the monitoring software provided with the msi cd and during gameplay, the alarm goes off in win98 (i don't play game in xp). the voltage (most of it) falls below the normal level. the 3.3v fall to around 2.8v. sometimes, the pc just went off without warning. is it the psu problem? how to check? is it harmful if i keep using my pc ignoring the alarm? are there any other reason for the voltage to drop other than faulty psu? fyi, i have 350w psu with 2 hdd, 1 cdrw, 1 fdd, 1 agp, 1 pci, 1 thumb drive in use and 1 casing fan.
another problem, my audio come and go in most game. it all started after i install directx9. i try directx9b but the problem still there. my sound driver is up to date (v3.59). i think it has nothing to do with psu problem bcoz this problem exist long b4 the low voltage problem. last time, i reinstall everything and use only directx8.1 to solve this. i don want to do this now. i found similar problem in this forum but there are no conclusion. anyone know how to solve this? or maybe i can downgrade directx9 to diretx8.1?
Thanks, in advance.

12V/18A. it is cheap, so it might not be the best psu. i play all kind of games in 98. just don't want to mess up with game in xp. when it happen like my sound problem, i reinstalled everything. if i use xp to play games, there would a lot to do.
i had installed mbm 5 and here is the lowest/highest voltage recorded. 2.66/2.96 4.81/4.87 11.19/11.55.
Anyway, the sound problem seem ok after i change something in bios. something in ram timing. i set from auto to manual without knowing the function. what dhould i set for the best setting for this timing?

"How do I defrag my mac?" "You don't need to, it does it itself" Fragmented Free Space: 99%. READ THIS NOW

Just a heads up for my fellow Mac users.
"How do I defrag my mac?"
"You don't need to, ever. It does it automatically."
"But it's running really slowly..."
"Repair permissions or something. Defragging is not necessary on a mac."
Techtool pro is now defragmenting my mac. Looks like the job's going to take about 4 hours. I thought I'd give everyone the truth about this while waiting (on a different computer obviously)
The truth is, Apple's defragmenting system ***** BALLS. It has two massive, massive flaws which I feel people urgently need to be made aware of.
#1: It only defragments files up to 20mb. If you're a movie producer, a songwriter, a photographer, or anything which involves working with many massive files, the built in defragmenting program WILL NOT HELP YOU IN THE SLIGHTEST.
#2: It only defragments FILES. Free space is ignored, which eventually causes absolutely hrrendous problems.
Let me give you an analogy here. Imagine your mac's hard drive is a bookcase with lots of books on it.
File fragmentation is when it can't find a gap in the bookcase big enough for the entire book, so it breaks the book into pieces and srotes them in different gaps.
Space fragmentation is when there are gaps all over the bookcase, instead of all the books being pushed to one side so there's a long gap elsewhere.
Apple's built in defragmenting program will only fix the first problem - and even then, it will ignore any book bigger than 20 pages long, if you have bigger books which are broken up, you're screwed.
Why is space fragmentation a problem? It's a problem because it directly LEADS TO file fragmentation. If there is a large block of free space all in one part of the disk, then an entire file can be written to it. However, if there is no single free block big enough for the file, it HAS NO CHOICE but to fragment it.
So basically you might have 5 GB free and want to save a 2GB imovie project. That's cool. But what you may not realize is, the biggest single area of free space is only say 600MB. Others are around 300 and 400. Therefore the file MUST be fragmented into all these different areas, which wouldn't be necessary if all the free space was in one area of the disk.
But apple's built in tools don't do anything about this, at least not in Tiger. PErhaps this has been fixed in later installations but I'm almost certain the same issues exist in leopard.
Your only option is to buy a defragmenting program. I know this ***** but believe me, this IS something you NEED to do if your activity on your laptop involves disk space - intensive projects. I'm using TechTool Pro which has been recommended to me as hands down the best. It has a number of other functions as well, right now I'm only using the defragmenting tools but it has others for repairing damages disk sectors and other mantainence tools. There are other programs such as iDefrag out there as well.
Why am I telling you this? I'm telling you because I experienced mind numbing frustration trying to get answers from the Apple community. Google it or ask the question yourself and you will most likely be whacked in the face with the intro to my post here - "You don't need to, it's not necessary, macs do it themselves, blah blah blah"
Even worse, Apple's own webpage on the subject is nothing short of a disaster. It basically says "You PROBABLY don't need to defragment, unless you work with large files." That's it. You'd expect it to have an extra section saying "If you DO happen to work with large files, here's what you do" but no such section exists. It basically says "You don't need to defrag most of the time, and on the rare occasions when you do, well, too bad, you're screwed."
I urge everyone to heed this or they will be tearing their hair out at how slow their mac has become and the fact that no one will offer any meaningful advice other than the standard, generic, "Repair permissions" - the Mac equivelant of "have you tried turning it off and on again".
My disk is at 99% fragmented free space. NINTEY NINE PERCENT. In other words, although I have 25GB of free space, there was not a single contiguous block on the entire machine. I had almost 5,000 fragmented files as well, mostly imovies. Defragmenting got this down to about 300.
The defrag job is taking more than 4 hours and will probably go on to take a lot longer than that. This machine has been slowly grinding to a halt over the last 3 years and now I know why.
Please don't listen to anyone. Get yourself a defragmenting folder, and email Apple to tell them it's just not good enough to give their customers half assed answers and inadequate basic maintainence tools. Mac OS X must literally be the only operating system out there where something as basic as defragmenting is not only almost impossible to get answers on, but actually costs money to fix once you DO get answers.
As customers, we should not accept this any longer. I intend to spread the above message far and wide.
I LOVE Apple. I've always been "a mac" and I always will be. This in no way a mac bashing post or a windows endorsing one. I wouldn't switch back to windows if you gave me a million euro.
But sometimes even the best developers can royally f*ck up. This is one of them.
There is no readon people should be forced to put up with this crap. Absolutely no reason at all. I've had 3 months of crappy performance with no official explanation whatsoever.
Apple if you're reading this: I love your products. I'm a loyal customer. People are more forgiving than you think, speak up, admit you dropped the ball, and DO something about it in your next updates to Lion and whichever versions of Leopard you are still actively maintaining.
There's no shame in admitting when you're wrong. The shame is in hiding behind false promises and walls of silence.
--Loyal customer, but feeling rather betrayed by all this.

The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement.

There was an error processing a page. there was a problem reading this document (110)?

hi
my name is kapil and i am trying to open one (which is downloded) pdf document.which giving me an error as there was an error processing a page. there was a problem reading this document (110) for some page only. i am using acrobat reader x. is it any 3d setting or any thing else please give me an idea. i am waiting for replay as soon as possible...........
your sincerely
KAPIL TRIVEDI

When I encountered an error "there was a problem reading this document 110" in Acrobat Pro 11 on 28.7 MB CS6 file, it indeed was very frustrating.
I solved my problem, but since I don't know which step benefitted me, I've to enumerate all the steps I took:
Read below:
1.1. I could copy the file anywhere on the drive, but couldn't 'save as' from Acrobat Pro.
1.2. No document security was applied of any sort on the file.
1.3. Still in the first tab of the document properties, all details under advance section were empty. No 'PDF Version' 'location' 'file size' etc were populated. Nothing.
1.4. I couldn't change and save anything in any of property dialogue. I could comment on the text, but as soon as I tried to save, it gave an error (some sort of 'File reading' error).
1.5. When I tried to extract a page (I tried many), it gave 'reading error'.
1.6. I didn't try 'splitting error'. Since I was 100% sure, it'll give me same reading error.
1.7. I opened the file in Firefox and tried saving it as pdf from there. But no error, but no save either.
1.8. I ran 'Remove Hidden Information' from protection panel without any errors.
1.9. I tried 'sanitize document' from the same tab, but didn't succeed.
1.10. Then (here I think the problem was resolved), from Document Processing panel, I did some commands. 1st, 'Export all images', successfully. Then 'Remove all links', it found 0.
1.11. Then in 'print production' panel, I clicked/tried to open acrobat distiller. The same opened, did some processing. But I don't know if it did something in solving the problem or not.
1.12. Although I think my problem was resolved till now, but the last step I did was 'Saved As' the file (from the file menu) as a .ps file. Though I've not yet reopened/used that ps file (to convert it into a pdf file again). But around here I wanted to close the file and it asked me whether I wanted to save the file, I said yes. And it saved the file correctly. And I checked that in properties dialogue, the missing information was populated too.
1.13. Sorry for so lengthy instructions, but I had no choice.

Error message: There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (110)

I opened a pdf document in Adobe Reader X. When I attempted to scroll through the pages the following error message appeared, “There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading the document (110). After an Internet search to try to find the reason for the error and a solution, I came across a site that suggested it was an issue regarding the fonts of the document. I then reopened the document and went into the document’s font properties (FILE – PROPERTIES – FONTS tab). There I noticed that the “Gathering font information” stopped at 2% which, of course, I took to mean that Adobe Reader X was having a difficult time in loading the font’s information. Another site suggested opening the document in the pdf reader, Foxit. So I did, and the document loaded properly with no error messages. I was still curious as to why the document did not load entirely in Adobe Reader X and if the same problem would occur using a different reader. I then downloaded the pdf reader, Nitro Reader 2. I opened the same document and initially received the following message, “The requested page number is invalid and does not exist in this document.” I closed the message and proceeded to scroll through the document. As I scrolled, the following message appeared, “This file was damaged (corrupted) and has been repaired.” I thought, “Wonderful!” I then chose <FILE – SAVE AS – PDF DOCUMENT> and saved the “repaired” document under a new name. When I opened the “repaired” document with Adobe Reader X, behold, the document opened entirely with no error message. I was curious, so I went into the document’s font properties and noticed, this time around, that the “Gathering font information” loaded to 100%. Nitro Reader 2 detected the error and fixed it. Now I’m left to wonder…why wasn’t Adobe Reader X able to do the same? I hope this post helps others who are experiencing the same issue.

HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE
YOUR LIFE!
I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A
little while back,
I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and
came across an
article similar to this that said you could make thousands of
dollars within
weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought,
Yeah right,
this must be a scam,but like most of us, I was curious, so I
kept reading.
Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names
and address
stated in the article. You then place your own name and
address in the
bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least
200 newsgroups.
(There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after
thinking it over, and
talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I
figured: what
have I got to lose except 6
stamps and $6.00, right? Then I invested the measly $6.00.
Well GUESS
WHAT!!...
within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was
shocked! I figured
it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my
first week, I
made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a
total of over
$1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's
still growing.
This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just
over $42,000.00
and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00,
and 6 stamps,
I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you
how this works
and most importantly, why it works....Also, make sure you
print a copy of
this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as
you need it. I
promise you
that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will
start making more
money than you thought possible by doing something so easy!
Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (Print it out
or download
it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come
in! It's easy.
It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)
IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is
not illegal; and
it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the
following
instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary
dividends.
PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and
$50,000 or more can
be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful
because of the
honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue
its success by
carefully
adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the
Mail Order
business. In this business your product is not solid and
tangible, it's a
service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists.
Many large
corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists.
However, the
money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income
which is made
from people like you and me asking to be included in that
list. Here are the
4 easy steps to success:
STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the
following on each piece
of paper; PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. Now get 6 US
$1.00 bills and
place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill
will not be seen
through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one
paper in each of
the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed
envelopes, each
with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and
address, and a
$1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS
ABSOLUTELY
LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are
paying for it!
Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried
about the
legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
Post Office
(1-800-725-2161) and they
confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to
the following
addresses:

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above,
move the other
names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name
as number 6 on
the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this
article as close
to
original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
least 200
newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All
you need is 200,
but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!
This is perfectly
legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302
& 1341 of the
Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself
and, whenever
you need money, you can use it again, and again.
PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because
of the honesty
and integrity of the participants and by their carefully
adhering to the
directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the
program will
continue and the money that so many others have received will
come your way.
NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to
you, either on a
computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you.
This VERIFIES that
you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good
idea to wrap
the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.)
So, as each
post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six
members will
be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer
with one dollar
each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that
when your name
reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of
dollars in
CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of
the first six
people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the
list and you're
in business!
---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------
Step 1) You do
not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
posting. Simply put
your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your
cursor to the
bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit
menu. This will
copy the entire letter into the computer's memory.
Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at
the top of the
blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will
paste a copy of
the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the
list.
Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you
want to do your
postings in different settings, you'll always have this file
to go back to.
Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching
for various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
discussions.) Step
5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
message by
highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from
the edit menu.
Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone
sees as they
scroll through the list of postings in a particular group,
click the post
message button. You're done with your first one!
Congratulations...THAT'S
IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and
post away, after
you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for
each newsgroup!
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY
YOU WILL MAKE!!
BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the
world within days!
You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large
amount of mail
you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can
invent a name to
use, as long as the postman will deliver it.
**JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY
part: Out of
200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
example). So then I
made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of
the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
postings, each
with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the
original 5,
that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200
MINIMUM posts with
my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an
additional
$125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the
MINIMUM 200 with my
name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an
additional
$626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625
persons post a
MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only
receive 5 replies,
that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those
3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups
with my name
at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will
receive
$15,625,00!With an original investment of only $6.00!
AMAZING! When your
name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting in the
newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list,
putting your
name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to
remember is:
do you realize that thousands of people all over the world
are joining the
internet and reading these articles
everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00
and see if it
really works?? I think so... People have said, "e;what if the
plan is played
out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the
chances of that
happening when there are tons of new honest users and new
honest people who
are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are
willing to give it
a try?
Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with
thousands of
those joining the actual internet.
Remember: play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.

Congratulations...THAT'S
IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and
post away, after
you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for
each newsgroup!
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY
YOU WILL MAKE!!
BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the
world within days!
You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large
amount of mail
you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can
invent a name to
use, as long as the postman will deliver it.
**JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY
part: Out of
200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
example). So then I
made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of
the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
postings, each
with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the
original 5,
that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200
MINIMUM posts with
my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an
additional
$125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the
MINIMUM 200 with my
name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an
additional
$626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625
persons post a
MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only
receive 5 replies,
that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those
3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups
with my name
at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will
receive
$15,625,00!With an original investment of only $6.00!
AMAZING! When your
name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
posting in the
newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list,
putting your
name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to
remember is:
do you realize that thousands of people all over the world
are joining the
internet and reading these articles
everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00
and see if it
really works?? I think so... People have said, "e;what if the
plan is played
out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the
chances of that
happening when there are tons of new honest users and new
honest people who
are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are
willing to give it
a try?
Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with
thousands of
those joining the actual internet.
Remember: play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.

Dont read this if you dont want to make money

MAKE LOTS OF MONEY QUICKLY, GUARANTEED 100%, NO SCAM!
Turn 6.00 into 42,000! This is true!!.... Read this carefully to find out how!!....
READING THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing
through newsgroups, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands
of cash within weeks with only an initial investment of .00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this<br />
must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading.
Before you get skeptical, just take a few minutes to finish reading.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
WITH THIS PLAN, YOU REALLY CAN MAKE TONS OF TOTALLY LEGAL, FAST AND EASY CASH MONEY!! IT WORKS!!!
BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT CAREFULLY FOR IT TO WORK CORRECTLY AND IN YOUR FAVOR!!!! WITH ALL
THE MONEY YOU ARE GONNA MAKE, YOU WILL SOON GET EVERYTHING YOU'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF!!!!
ALL YOU DO IS...
All you do is send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then
place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at
least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands.) No catch, that was it . So after thinking it over,
and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured, what have I got to
lose except 6 stamps and 6.00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little
worried about the legal aspects of it
all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that
it is indeed legal!
AND THEN GUESS WHAT...
Then I invested the measly 6.00. Well, GUESS WHAT!!... Within 7 days, I started getting money
just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about 25. By the end of the second week I had
made a total of over 1,000! In the third week I had over 10,000 and it's still growing. This
is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over 42000, and it's still coming in
rapidly. It's certainly worth 6. and 6 stamps. By the way, I have spent more than that on the
lottery in the last month!! Let me tell
you how this works and most importantly, why it works.... also, make sure you print a copy of
this article NOW, So you can get the information off of it, as you need it.
SO LET'S GET STARTED AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS
STEP 1:
Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on eash piece of paper, "PLEASE PUT MY<br />
NAME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Also, be sure to include your name and address. Now, get 6 U.S.
$1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen
through the envelope, to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes
and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the
above phrase, your name and address email
, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
STEP 2 :
Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
#1 Randall Hines 22 Stature Dr. Newark DE 19713
#2 Mike Sharrer 921 West State St. Coopersburg PA 18036
#3 Travis Montgomery 2211 Elmers Lane Norfolk NE 68701
#4 James Adair the third 22 Over Rd. Feasterville PA 19053
#5 Michael Lescault 123 Rhode Island Ave. Pawtucket, RI. 02860
#6 Michael Hendrock 106 S.academy St. Lodi, Ohio 44254
STEP 3:
Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5,
5 becomes 4, etc.) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.
STEP 4:
Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible.
If you do not live in the U.S. or there is a foreign address, you must put an international
stamp on your envelopes. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. ( I think
there are close to 24,000 groups in all.) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post,
the more money you make!!

JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT
WITH 200 POSTINGS
Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies ( a very low example). So then I made 5.00
with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the
MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5, and only 5 persons repond to each of the original
5, that is another 25. Then those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4, and only
5 relies to each, and I will bring in an additional125! Now, those 125 persons turn around
and post the MINIMUM 200 with my
name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, and I will make an additional 625! OK, now here
is the fun part... Each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2,
and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me 3125!!! Those 3,125 persons will all
deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1, and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups
react, I will receive an amazing 15625!
With an original investment of only 6! AMAZING!
DO IT OVER AND OVER
When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups,
and send out another 6 to names on the list, putting your name at #6 again. Then start posting
again. That's it! Do you realize that thousands of honest people just like you all over the
world are joining the Internet and reading these articles everday? So can you afford 6 and
see if it really works?? I think so..
People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money?" So what!
What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users who are joining
the Internet and newsgroups everyday? So, are you willing to give it a try? Estimates are about
20,000 to 50,000 new bulletin board users everyday, with thousands of those joining the Internet
itself. ---Remember please play FAIRLY! This ensures a huge circle of wealth that grows with
the Internet audience!!! Everyone
benefits!!! Remember To Send The Six Envelopes To The Above Addresses, In Order To Create The
Legal Service. At first I was scared to try this, but once I research it, I found that it is
totally legal. When you send the six envelopes out, you create a service, a legal service.
The Internet audience is expanding all the time. The audience is like an equity stock on the
stock market, continuously going up. If you still think this is a fraud, take a few minutes
to check it out, then.... you can start
raking in the
cash!!
THIS CAN WORK IF WE ARE ALL IN IT TOGETHER!!!!

Error : There was a problem reading this document (109).

hello, i have a lot of PDF Files that become corrupted ! i dont know why
and i receive this error message when i open the pdf file:
" There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (109)."
im using adobe acrobat 8 prof. also acrobat reader.
please can any one help me to solve this big problem.

When I encountered an error "there was a problem reading this document 110" in Acrobat Pro 11 on 28.7 MB CS6 file, it indeed was very frustrating.
I solved my problem, but since I don't know which step benefitted me, I've to enumerate all the steps I took:
Read below:
1.1. I could copy the file anywhere on the drive, but couldn't 'save as' from Acrobat Pro.
1.2. No document security was applied of any sort on the file.
1.3. Still in the first tab of the document properties, all details under advance section were empty. No 'PDF Version' 'location' 'file size' etc were populated. Nothing.
1.4. I couldn't change and save anything in any of property dialogue. I could comment on the text, but as soon as I tried to save, it gave an error (some sort of 'File reading' error).
1.5. When I tried to extract a page (I tried many), it gave 'reading error'.
1.6. I didn't try 'splitting error'. Since I was 100% sure, it'll give me same reading error.
1.7. I opened the file in Firefox and tried saving it as pdf from there. But no error, but no save either.
1.8. I ran 'Remove Hidden Information' from protection panel without any errors.
1.9. I tried 'sanitize document' from the same tab, but didn't succeed.
1.10. Then (here I think the problem was resolved), from Document Processing panel, I did some commands. 1st, 'Export all images', successfully. Then 'Remove all links', it found 0.
1.11. Then in 'print production' panel, I clicked/tried to open acrobat distiller. The same opened, did some processing. But I don't know if it did something in solving the problem or not.
1.12. Although I think my problem was resolved till now, but the last step I did was 'Saved As' the file (from the file menu) as a .ps file. Though I've not yet reopened/used that ps file (to convert it into a pdf file again). But around here I wanted to close the file and it asked me whether I wanted to save the file, I said yes. And it saved the file correctly. And I checked that in properties dialogue, the missing information was populated too.
1.13. Sorry for so lengthy instructions, but I had no choice.
