May have found a fix for iPhone 4 freezing/restarting/locking up issue.

Ok, so I am one of the many who have suffered from my iPhone 4 freezing, restarting and/or locking up on me.
I have combed through the discussion threads searching for a fix but never found one that was proven to work. Things like hard resets, restoring from backup, restoring from new etc... People would claim one of the above fixes worked only to return to the thread minutes, hours or days later to report that the problems had started again.
I understand that the fix that worked for me may not work for everyone, but I'm sure it will work for some. It is a simple fix that I have not seen mentioned in any thread and thought it would be worth sharing.
Fix: Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
My iPhone 4 was either freezing, restarting or locking up on almost a daily basis, sometimes several times a day. Since resetting my settings almost a week ago, I have had no problems!
It is the simplest and least inconvenient fix I have seen, so it's worth giving it a shot!
Good luck, and I hope it works for most if not all of those experiencing these issues!

My iphone 4 just started to warm up and the battery is draining quick. Closed everything and reset to no avail. Turned off bluetooth, increased push time and checked location settings for new applications. Weather Doodle was a bit suspicious as it had a purple direction indicator next to the setting. The only other new app I installed was Lego instruct. I disabled one of the 4 mail accounts I had that is having network difficulties, went to airplane mode and still I see %1 drain every 10 or 15 minutes. I'll remove the new new apps and reset to see if it is related to the new apps. If that doesn't work, I'll try email account reset at home wifi and see if that fixes the issues.
Thank you for the information.

Lion crashes when using Firefox and Safari, have found a fix for this. I can't believe they would just let us hang. Very frustrated.

How do I fix frequent crashes when using Firefox or Safari??? I see a lot of people have this problem...is there a solution yet?

Try posting in Safari forum, you'll get better help there.

Anybody have an actual fix for the annoying Safari crashing/closing issue?

Have the problem on both my iPad 1 and 3. Definetly starte with the latest IOS update. Have tried everything people say to try - including Apple. Does anybody know if Apple has an actual fix out for this issue? I can't even browse on the iPad which pretty much makes it a useless device. Guess I'm starting to look forward to the Windows tablets coming out this fall. I bet they'll be able to surf the web. And that is all I want.

I've started having this issue too on my iPad 2. I checked through the diagnostics & usage tab on System Settings (for the 25 seconds it remained open) and found a slew of LowMemory-[INSERT DATE TIME].plist in there.
It seems the iPad runs out of memory and bombs what ever application it wants. This has only started in the past 24 hours with me which coincides with me finally updating to iOS 5.1.1
I have done a full reset, reinstall and even a complete reformat / restore back to factory settings and have had no joy.
For my sins I'm going to the "Genius" bar on Thursday to see what can be done, but I suspect its going to be a hiding to nothing. I'll report back either here or in the thread I'm going to create on the off chance someone from Apple actually has an answer / checks this place out.

I may have found a software bug. Ver 12.0.1.26 Was playing in non shuffle mode. Turned shuffle back on but it is not doing it. Any guesses?

Re: iPhone applications no longer work
Posted: Aug 26, 2008 4:10 PM in response to: pmonahan
I am having the same problem as many of you. 3G iPhone. 2.0.2.
In the past 3 weeks I have had at least 5 if not 8-10 examples of loss of all iPod content and access to all apps. I know this happens on 2.0.2 and I know it happened at least a couple of times on 2.0.1. I am fairly certain that it never happened on 2.0.0.
This seems to happen EVERY time that the iPod crashes and reboots itself or when I force a hard reset. I haven't tried with a normal turn off/shut down in fear of having to go through this whole process again.
I have a solution that while not optimal works EVERY TIME!
1. Do a "reset all settings" from general settings. This will wipe out the set up of an exchange mail client, but not Yahoo, Gmail, or POP. While a pain this only takes a few minutes to reset up. It will not touch any app settings, high scores, etc. Additionally, all of your apps will need to reordered on the screen if you are like me and like certain ones to be on certain pages. Again, a pain, but this takes 5-10 minutes max for 4 pages worth of apps. Additionally, you will need to change any other personalized settings that you have set up (ring tones, favorites, brightness, etc.) At this point all iPod content will be back, but apps still won't work.
2. Go to the app store and download any app that you want. This will have you reinputing your username and password. Once this is compthe app is fully downloaded and installed you will have access to all of your apps again and your phone will work perfectly UNTIL THE NEXT TIME YOU HAVE TO DO THIS. Note, during this step, I have done a hard reset multiple times and gone through a overly long Apple logo time frame (and sometimes even hard reset during the Apple logo again) but this has yet to have any ill effect. Once the phone comes back up all apps works and all iPod content is there.
Finally, I have now stopped downloading or updating apps directly from the phone if at all. As this often causes or requires a hard reset.
Generally I get one to two days before having to do this again.
Please know I am not suggest this is all OK and I am barely tolerating this as it should just get fixed, but this is pretty easy and while monotonous on the 5th+ time, it isn't that time consuming and has worked every time.

Downgrading to iTunes 7.7.0 following the steps in the link below has worked for me for about 12 days now.

It boggles my mind that with an issue like this so big that Apple STILL doesn't have a permanent fix for it yet.

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
However, even if presented with multiple prints with
the same name, the spooler should print each one!
The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

FOUND A FIX FOR ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 11.9.900.152

I have Windows 7, 64bit and Internet Explorer 11 installed. I found the fix for Adobe Flash Player after 2 days of doing everything. I thought that the fix should be something very easy and it was. I spent 2 full days doing all kinds of ridiculous things, i.e. uninstalling, reinstalling, restore computer, deactiving XActive, reactivating, changing stuff under internet options, etc. The problem was Internet Explorer 11 update caused Adobe Flash Player not to work or recognize the flash player, or installing a new router caused it not to work. Websites kept displaying messages to download Adobe Flash Player when I already did. There appeared to be a conflict where some videos played and other did not. Youtube did not work anymore. All the problems that other people posted under these forums happened to me. I could not play the games I was playing before, etc. Anyway, I am NOT a tech person and understand little and almost gave up when by accident I found the fix and EVERYTHING works without rebooting anything, uninstalling or reinstalling etc. as all the people in the forums posted. Everything was so complicated!!
THE FIX: Go to Goodgle Chrome browser. If you don't have it, download it. The Adobe Flash Player is included in this browser. Anyway, at the very top RIGHT HAND SIDE there are lines in a square formation. Click on that and go to SETTINGS. Go to very bottom and click on SHOW ADVANCED SETTINGS. SCROLL DOWN TO THE VERY BOTTOM and click on RESET BROWSER SETTINGS. After I did that, EVERYTHING WORKED!!!!!!!!!!! Youtube worked, my game worked in BOTH GOOGLE CHROME AND INTERNET EXPLORER 11. It was like a miracle and a simple fix.
I hope I can save some people ALOT of aggravation and frustration. Adobe should have this fix displayed PROMINENTLY EVERYWHERE if it is indeed this simple. Let me know if this helps. All I know is that I had the same issues as everyone else in the forums and now it is all fixed. I have very limited knowledge, almost none. It just seemed that something was blocking the videos from coming up.

Thanks Mike. I'm not sure what I'm doing but I also re-downloaded the flash player and I got YouTube videos to play again. I have IE11 that I tried to uninstall (it won't let me) so I had to use a restore point, so videos I noticed in yahoo.ca can't play but I read lots of people having issues with this. But, by using a restore point, and re-downloading the flash player (a couple of time until it took), I got Youtube and my game back on IE11. I plan to use Chrome Google though after this experience as everything works there

Found a fix for lightbox working locally but not on site!

This was reply origionally but I felt I should post it. It seems to be a common problem and I was unable to find a resolution so here it is....
I found a fix for something similar that occurred on my machine. I too was seeing no problems locally but when I posted it to my site, it just had the placeholder and no images....
Apparently, dreamweaver is smarter than the browser... (maybe incorrect statement) however..... the file extensions are case sensitive!
I had this-------- <A href="Img/CGM_1.JPG" border="0" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]" title="CGM Pic Set"><img src="Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG" /></a>
<a href="Img/CGM_2.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
                  <a href="Img/CGM_3.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
                  <a href="Img/CGM_4.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
Well, I didnt think anything was so bad, all of the colors were right I wasn't getting any warnings.... wtf?
As it turns out, and this is only because I just started a new image set after testing an individual - - baby steps - - if you use the properties bar at the bottom of DW, it applies a different case for specific parts...... i.e. this is what it produced
<A HREF="Img/CGM_1.jpg" border="0" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]" title="CGM Pic Set"><img src="Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg" /></a>
                  <a HREF="Img/CGM_2.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
                  <a HREF="Img/CGM_3.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
                  <a HREF="Img/CGM_4.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
Notice the HREF's are now UPPER case and the jpg's are now lower case. !!!! really?!?!?
Also, another thing to look out for is the folder/ in front of your thumbnail; make sure it is there. In my case I use my sam "Img" folder, not the "images" folder that lightbox creates.
Hope this helps, I beat my head against the wall for a total of 10 hours over 2 days trying to figure this out. I couldn't find anything on the internet. I'm going to post this so others having this issue get it resolved. I found those, just no resolution.

Thanks for your quick response
I tried what you said and I still had no avail...
There is a style.css file in the root directory but for some reason you cant access it...
I checked the file permissions of style.css and they are: 644
Its really wierd - I dont understand why it isnt reading...
Also regarding {www.care.cc} all of my clients websites are under the same web hosting service, so he set the default "404 page not found" redirects to {www.care.cc} which is their "Main Site" as such - I understand that this is bad practice but unfortunatley I have no control over these matters as I have limited access too my clients web hosting.
Thanks again for the Help

HT4356 Up photos mart c7100 series wireless printer does not show up as a printer. Anyone found a fix for for use with ipad3?

Up photos mart c7100 series wireless printer does not show up as a printer. Anyone found a fix for for use with ipad3?

It sounds like the features are working through the USB connection rather than the wireless connection since it is still not seeing the networks.
Everything points to a hardware failure since the steps provided through the private message did not work and the wireless test showed it had failed. Sorry.
You do have some options at this point.
If it is under warranty, either standard or extended, you can contact HP support at 1-800-474-6836 to have it serviced under warranty.
If it is out of warranty, you can still contact HP support to find out all the options and the cost of each option. However, it is my opinion that this money would be better spend being applied towards a new printer.

I do not have the daq assistant vi on my labview 2010 and have found no drivers for it what should i do

I do not have the daq assistant vi on my labview 2010 and have found no drivers for it. I downloaded the service pack but that did not have it either what should i do.

Hi Youzhang He,
Did you install LabVIEW first on your PXIe 8102 before the drivers? Most likely, you're missing LabVIEW support for your DAQmx drivers. Fortunately, this is an easy fix. What you should do is open Add/Remove Programs, select National Instruments Software, select Uninstall/Repair. In the window that pops up listing NI software, select NI-DAQmx 9.x and select Modify. In the window that appears, expand Application Development Support and select to install LabVIEW support. From here complete the install process and restart your system. LabVIEW support should be installed and DAQ Assistant should appear in your palette.

I just got a "warning system may have found viruses on your computer" message on safari

I just got a "warning: system may have found viruses on your computer" message on safari that mentioned system may have found 2 malicious viruses: Rootkit.Sirefef.Spy and Trojan.FafeAV-Download. Also a phone # to call for help in removing the viruses. I have a MacPro I don't know if this is for real or spam. I had to force quit safari and turn off and then back on my computer but when I clicked on safari again the message was still poping up. Does anyone know and can anyone help me? Thank you.

Fraudulent spam. Not only is it impossible to diagnose your computer's health, virus status, etc, by visiting a web page, Macs don't get viruses of that kind. Calling that number would have prompted the perpetrator to take your money and/or gain remote access to your computer.
Quit Safari completely by holding down your cursor on the dock icon and choosing Quit when you see it appear, or hitting cmd-Q when the Safari menu is visible on the top left of the screen. Once it has completely quit (there is no light under the dock icon), hold down the Shift key on the keyboard, and launch Safari again.
Safari will normally try to reload whatever webpages were open when it last quit; holding Shift will cancel this behaviour. And try to avoid going back to whatever webpage you were on when you got the popup.

IS there a USB Tether Fix for iPhone 4s & iTunes 11.1.1

IS there a USB Tether Fix for iPhone 4s ?
Mac OS X : 10.6.8
iPhone : 4s w/ ios 7.0.3
Additional Apps : iTunes 11.1.1
I had this problem once before with a previous "iTunes" update where Ifixed the broken "ktext" file. No idea what do do about this snafu. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

OK. Can't edit so here's my reply.
Both names seem to be OK if I want to just carry some tunes on just the sd card it self and then stream the music to the 4S. What I am hoping to find is a way to actually put the music (mp3/4) files on the iPhone 4S directly. Judging by the 2 first posts and by what Amazon has on the two adapters listed by xtremecarbon, it does look like I cannot do this. It bites but that does seem to be the outcome of this.
Again if anybody has any leads or ways of putting music directly on the 4S without iTunes, do let me know. In the mean time I'm looking at the 13" MacBook Air and at the MacBook Pro. I don't think I can twist my wife in getting the Pro and I give her my old one. But I sure will give it a try. At least I know she does like the MacBook Air.

Do we have any exchange offer for iphone 4?

Friends, I ma looking for iphone 4S/5. Still my iphone 4 is in contract.Do we have any exchange offer for iphone 4?

Well network should be as much as possible. My well-configured Linux clients are all on 1000Mbit network and ten of those is enough to consistently fill a single 1000Mbit interface on a Linux media server. Generally I would suggest using LACP or similar to avoid network contention.
CPU isn't too loaded on a media server, so to be honest I wouldn't worry about that. Bus speed is though, so you really want to make sure you have a good Server class system.
Disk speed and space is a consideration. Your job transcripts will write to the media server, so you need a fairly quick disk and enough space on there to store all the logs. Remember if you need to use any debug modes, the transcripts can be quite large.
My media server is a Dell PE1950, 8 cores @ 1.86GHz, 16GB RAM and 260GB disk space (RAID10). That supports 47 clients all connected via gigabit.
Thanks
