Multiple Problems

Hey!
I got some problems here..
1. xmodmap: i just can get my 6 button mouse (logitech mouseman dual optical) work (6th button on xev says button 8) through manually executing
$ xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 6 9 10"
if i try to use the ButtonMapping Option in xorg.conf the 6th button doesnt exist anymore, calling the xmodmap command in xinitrc (yes, i use startx) doesnt work and ~/.Xmodmap or ~/.xmodmap doesnt work either

Having multiple problems with script - NTFS Permissions and AD Groups

Hi, all! I'm having multiple problems with my first script I've written with Powershell. The script below does the following:
1. Prompts the user for a corporate division under which a shared folder will be created, and adjusts variables accordingly.
2. Prompts if the folder will be a global folder or an office/location-specific folder, and makes appropriate adjustments to variables.
3. If a global folder, prompts for the name. If an office/location-specific folder, prompts for each component of the street address, city and state and an optional modifier. I've prompted for this information in this way because the information
is used differently later on in the script.
4. Verifies the entered information and requests confirmation to proceed.
5. Creates the folder.
6. Creates an AD OU and/or security group(s).
7. Applies appropriate security groups to the new folder and removes undesired permissions.

Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
My problems right now are in the assignment/removal of security groups on the newly-created folder, and the problems are two-fold. Yes, I am running this script as an Administrator.
First, I am unable to remove the BUILTIN\Users group from the folder when this is an office/location-specific folder. I've tried to remove the group in several different ways, and none are having any effect. Oddly, if I type in the lines directly
into Powershell, they work as expected. I've tried the following methods:
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
$FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
$FolderACL.Access | where {$_.IdentityReference -eq "BUILTIN\Users"} | %{$FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($_)}
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
$FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
$BIUsers = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("BUILTIN\Users")
$BIUsersSID = $BIUsers.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier])
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($BIUsersSID.Value,"ReadAndExecute,AppendData,CreateFiles,Synchronize","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($Ar)
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
In the first case, the script goes through and has no apparent effect because afterwards, I do a get-acl and the BUILTIN\Users group is still there, although when looking through the GUI, inheritance appears to have been broken from the parent folder.
In the second case, I get the following error message:
Exception calling "RemoveAccessRuleAll" with "1" argument(s): "Some or all identity references could not be translated."
At C:\Users\tesdallb\Documents\FileServerBuild.ps1:110 char:5
+ $FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($Ar)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : IdentityNotMappedException
This seems strange that the local server is unable to translate the SID of a BUILTIN account. I've also tried explicitly putting in the BUILTIN\Users SID in place of the variable in the New-Object line, but that gives me the same error. I've
also tried the solutions given in this thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/ad59dc58-1360-4652-ae09-2cd4273cbd4f/remove-acl-issue?forum=winserverpowershell and at this URL:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730951.aspx but these solutions also failed to have any effect.
My second problem is when I try to apply the newly-created security groups, I also will get the "Some or all identity references could not be translated." I thought I had found a workaround to the problem by adding the -PassThru option to
the New-ADGroup commands, because it would output the SID of the group after creation, however a few lines later, the server is unable to translate the account to apply the security groups to the folder.
My first Powershell script has been working well up to this point and now I seem to have hit a showstopper. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I was hoping to stay with strictly Powershell, but unless I can find a Powershell solution, I may resort to ICACLS.
As for the problems with my groups not being translatable right after creating them, I think I have solved this problem by using the -Server parameter on all my New-ADGroup commands and this example code seems to have gotten around the translation problem,
again utilizing the -Server parameter on the Get-ADGroup command:
get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) | fl
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
# Add the new normal users group to the folder with Read and Execute permissions
$GroupSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupName -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
$SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupSID)
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity,"ReadAndExecute","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
# Add the management users group to the folder with Modify permissions
$GroupMGMTSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupNameMGMT -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
$SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupMGMTSID)
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity, "Modify", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
Going this route seems to ensure that the Domain Controller I'm creating my groups on is the same one that I'm querying for the group's SID to use in the FileSystemAccessRule. It's been working fairly consistently.
Still having issues with the translation of the BUILTIN\Users group, though.

Multiple problems with Mail

Here is the setup:
iMac Intel running 10.4.8
Mail 2.1.1
seperate user accounts, each with their own email address
email is valornet.com (local ISP), set up to download to Mail
Multiple problems with one of the user accounts (not affecting the others):
1. Multiple copies in the inbox of the same message. These are brand new, not a week old as some other threads have mentioned. When I go to Preferences/Accounts/Advanced I have already clicked the "Remove Now" button, also the "Remove copy from server..." is checked.
2. Mail will not stop retrieving new mail. The circle thing next to the Inbox on the left just keeps spinning, and spinning, and spinning...
3. Cannot quit Mail. Have to go in Activity Monitor and Force Quit.
4. My trash folder is gone.
If anyone can help me clean up this mess, I would appreciate it.

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just
permissions), as described here:

Multiple Problems with 4.2.1 update

Hi. I installed 4.2.1, and am experiencing multiple problems ever since.
1.) battery life is horrible I can fully charge it, and three or four hours later it is completely dead.
2.) wifi is wonky or, mostly, nonexistent
3.) ringtones vanished, and the default rings are barely-audible.
4.) I keep getting a random message that I need to sync my photos.
5.) Ipod volume seems to have gone down. I can crank my car stereo up all the way, and sometimes it's still not enough to hear my music.
I have a two year old, non-jailbroken 3GS which I run on a macbook, and I'm pretty good about updating itunes and iphone OS on a regular basis. I've searched at length to find fixes and am just at my wits' end. I loved this phone, at least pre 4.2.1 I did!
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, Action.
Thanks very much for the well considered, thorough answer.
I got everything working again (though will see what the battery does today), and this is what I did. I'm not sure which thing worked.
1.) One blog I found suggested doing TWO hard resets in a row, which I did.
2.) I went to
settings
Safari
clear cookies/history/cache
and cleared them all, twice, to be sure.
3.) I went to
settings
reset
reset network settings
4.) I went to
settings
reset
reset all settings
5.) I deleted all my photos one by one (I had already saved everything I wanted to iPhoto), and discovered that (and I don't know if this is normal or not, but I had never noticed this before), one of my albums was "locked". This was an album of photos and jpgs I had tinkered with using various apps, Photogene, etc. I could view only. Couldn't delete or flick to resize anything in the album. When I synced my phone, I checked "sync photos" but made sure no album or other boxes were checked. This deleted the locked album, emptied my entire "Photos" app, and consequently removed the "sync photos" message I kept getting. I took a few test photos to doublecheck, and the message hasn't reappeared.
I note that this is not only making my camera open faster now, it's making it take photos faster, and darned if they aren't better resolution as well. I had noticed, but not connected with 4.2.1, that my photos were really grainy and poor quality lately.
6.) I did the opposite of what someone on this forum suggested. I always selected my one ringtone, which is what their suggestion was. I only have three, so when I synced, I selected "all", and it defaulted back to giving me a choice. My ringtone, btw, was a home made one, which I am very attached to. I spent hours researching how to salvage it, and thankfully, didn't have to get into figuring out how to change the extensions and length of the the thing as other forums suggested at terrifyingly great length.
Memos and email are also opening faster, and I have my fast wifi back again while at home.
It's kind of like a heart failure. I didn't realize I was getting slower and more winded, it was so gradual over the past few weeks. And now I've had a miracle recovery, and am ready to go run some sprints, lol.
Thanks very much for your suggestions and quick answer. I spent hours and hours researching my problems with 4.2.1 and my ringtones.

Multiple problems with PSE10 Organizer

I have Photoshop Elements 10 that I am using with Windows XP with Service Pack 3, a Pentium 4 CPU with 3 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and 48.6 GB of free disk space. I have had multiple problems with Organizer since I started using it.
When I first got PSE10, I imported 8 years of my photos into one catalog in Organizer. I'm not sure how many images were included in this catalog but from what I've read, there's no limit to the number of images that can be placed in a catalog.
Question: Is there any limit to the number of images that can be put into one catalog?
Catalog A
Problem 1) People recognition didn't work. When I tried to find people for tagging, the feature didn't work. After researching the problem online, I found that others who had the same problem solved it by rebuilding the catalog a few hundred images at a time. I deleted the original catalog with all of my images and created a new catalog with just 800 images from this year. Then, people recognition worked, and I was able to tag people. The only other feature that I have used in Catalog A is that I have edited a few images to improve exposure. I have not rated images, stacked them, renamed them or created albums. With this catalog, the Organizer and the Editor still work together so when I select a photo in Organizer to fix, the Editor opens up with the photo for editing like it is supposed to do.
Catalog B
I created another catalog that had about 900 different images from a European tour. I deleted some of those images so there are now 760 images in this catalog. At first, all the Organizer features seemed to work fine in this catalog. I was able to pull photos from Organizer to fix in the Editor. I rated all the images, stacked and renamed some photos and created several albums under an album category.
Problem 2) A couple of days ago, the Organizer and the Editor stopped working together. Now, when I select a photo in Organizer and click on Fix, Edit, the Editor window comes up but the photo does not appear in Editor. The only way I can get an image into Editor is to pull it directly into Editor. Then, when I want to save it as a Version Set I have to choose File> Organize Open File in order to save the image as a version set.
Question: How do I get the Organizer & Editor to work together again?
Problem 3) The Exif data has disappeared on quite a few of the images in Catalog B even though the Complete radio button is highlighted under the Properties panel. Some of those images were never edited or re-saved.
Question: How do I get the Exif data back into Properties.
Problem 4) Yellow question marks continue to appear on the top left of some images even though these images have not been moved. The Organizer searches for the "missing file" and finds it quickly but why is it "missing"? I have gone through the albums in this catalog, completed the missing file searches on all the images so that no yellow question marks appear and when I go back to the catalog the next time I find the yellow question marks are there again!
Question: Why does Organizer think the files are missing? Why isn't the file location remaining the same?
Problem 5) When I re-opened Catalog A with the general 2012 images, I got a message that my watched folder had new photos to import. When I clicked on ok, the next window brought up 3 photos that were already in Catalog B of my European tour that were taken in September. Somehow, the Date Created and the Dated modified had been changed from 9/12 to 11/12 so the Organizer thought they were new images when they were not.
Questions: Shouldn't the Date Created remain constant? The Date Created does not seem to represent the date the picture was taken, so what does that date represent? How can I keep the date created from being changed?
Both Catalogs
All of the images in both catalogs show creation dates that are later than the date modified, (example: date created of 6/12 and a date modified of 3/12).
Question: How is it possible that the date created is later than the date modified?

Hey Paysonite,
A lot of questions hmm!!! Let me try to answer few of them.
Question: Is there any limit to the number of images that can be put into one catalog?
Ans: No, you can import as many images in catalog you want. Just to add, as the size of catalog grows, Organizer's perfromance will be affected.
Question: Why does Organizer think the files are missing? Why isn't the file location remaining the same?
Ans: As you mentioned in your comments, you have deleted some files (i assume from explorer). But these deleted files are still present in Organizer. Since the deletion happened outside the organizer, so Organizer is unaware of the deletion. So when organizer tries to read the files (which were deleted), Organizer is unable to find then and thus thinks that files are missing.
Questions: Shouldn't the Date Created remain constant? The Date Created does not seem to represent the date the picture was taken, so what does that date represent? How can I keep the date created from being changed?
Ans: Date created represents the date on which the files was created on your files system (or into OS). It is not date when the images was shot (actual shot date is Date time Original in Organizer).
Question: How is it possible that the date created is later than the date modified?
Ans: A simple way to do it is-Suppose you have an image which was brought/copied on July (i am explaining this with the help of month only. Assume date to be 1st and year to 2012). Now change the system date to August. Edit this image in Editor (without creating a version set for easy illustration). Now date created is July and date modified is Aug.
Copy this fine on flash drive/pen drive. Delete the original file from windows. Change the system date to Sept. Now copy the file in windows and see its properties. It has Date created as Sept and date modified as Aug, which answers you question.
I am unable to fully understand your remaining questions. Please elaborate.
Also please let me know if you need more info with above answers.

Multiple Problems with Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop??

Hi,
We purchased the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop at Best Buy about a week ago. However, we seem to be having multiple problems with it, that I wouldn't have expected from a brand new Toshiba.
Problems:
Whenever I'm in Mozilla Firefox browser, it crashes 90% of the time. Firefox was always my favorite on our previous computer, and still is, I just can't use it because it continually crashes.
In Outlook, whenever I try to open a message or reply, or basically any general command, it pops up an error message that says, "Could not install the custom actions," and then does whatever I'd wanted it too. It's a pain, as we do a lot of email and calendar through Outlook.
In Outlook, when I tried to import our Contacts, it says that we do not have the appropriate permissions to access the files. We are the only user account on this computer. We don't do seperate ones for each family member; we just turn on the PC.
It seems to me like the internet crawls on this computer. Every time we try to play a video (e.g. ABC, CNN, Youtube), it won't buffer. It just stops and starts all throughout the video about every 3 seconds. HUGE nuisance. We watch a lot of videos.
Minor issue: In Firefox, before it has crashed that is, on my old computer I used to be able to type "cnet" without the quotes into the address bar, and it would take me to www.cnet.com. If it couldn't find the page, it would take me to my default search engine's page (Yahoo) with the search results. On this one, if I type anything into the address bar (like search terms/keywords) it bring up search results with a My Start Incredimail search engine. I want my Yahoo search engine, and I want it to find the page if it can.
I cannot seem to get the Aero Flick (I think) to work. That was one of the main things I was looking forward to, but I can't figure out how to do it.
It seems to me like the Windows Explorer freezes a lot.
There have been multiple times when I'm typing that the keys don't work. Like I would have to press the A key about 10 times to get it to show up on the screen once. It's hit and miss and doesn't do it all of the time.
This isn't a problem - just a question. Is it best to leave the computer plugged in all of the time if it's stationary? Or once it's fully charged, should I unplug it and let the power run down, and then re-charge it?
**CLARIFICATION: It's not Outlook Express, it's Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. The one that you have to pay for. Surely it works with 7, considering it's Microsoft?!?!
If you can help me answer any of these problems/questions, I would really appreciate it.
Have a safe and Merry Christmas!

Yes, everything was fine with Firefox. However, I have uninstalled it, and am just using Internet Explorer for now.
Thanks for battery info...
I'm well within the return window, but overall really like the laptop. I've put a lot of time into it, and just want it to work right if possible.
Thanks for the info.

Also, that search engine you mentioned may have somehow been installed on your machine. Have you checked the "Manage search engines..." window available from the search bar? Check your add-ons as well. You could always reinstall Firefox from scratch.
As for the battery, it may not be best to continually run down the battery - followed by a long charge. Once a month or so should be fine. Otherwise, just try to give the battery some exercise every now and then.
Are you still within the return window? Your unit may have a bad install, some bad RAM, or...
I have the same model and it works just fine.

Multiple problems with Firefox 3.6.6 - Java Console, Flash, PDF & opening

running Windows XP with Firefox 3.6.6. I just upgraded to 3.6.6 & since then have been having multiple problems. 1) 3.6.6 takes a LONG time to load or hangs 2) As recommended Flash plugin updated to Flash 10.1. Subsequently Flash doesn't work. All I get when I use Firefox on any site is the F in a circle that indicates that flash is necessary to display the page. I have no problems with Flash on Google Chrome. 3) Java Console having issues. When 3.6.6 opens it says Java Console must be updated. So I update it. Then when it opens it says it's not supported & needs to be removed. Each time it wants me to restart Firefox to complete the task. If I say restart later cause I'm sick of opening & Closing again & again it pops up every 5-10 minutes & asks again. Please HELP!! 4) PDF files will not open since upgrade to 3.6.6. Having no issues with Google Chrome. It opens in miliseconds & runs everything but I prefer Firefox if it can be gotten to work right. Desperately need help.
== Upon upgrade

Please respond with a list of all of your Extensions.
-type '''about:support''' in your URL/address/location bar and press the Enter key
-click "Copy all to Clipboard"
-paste into your reply
'''1).''' Please explain "long time to load" in more detail; approximately how long? Hanging when: on startup of Firefox, during use (please list some sites/pages, if so), at shutdown?
For hanging at exit:
'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?
See: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application Kill Application]
'''Causes and solutions for Firefox hanging at exit:'''
[[Firefox hangs]]

[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
'''2).''' Could be caused by a Flash-blocking Extension (the reason for asking for your list of Extensions) or could be in your Firewall or AV/AS application. What Firewall and/or AV/AS applications to you use?
See: [[Firewalls]]
'''3).''' Again, the reason for asking for your Extensions. Is it Java Console or Java Deployment Toolkit in the error message. Need version numbers on both of the above. You may have some Java remnants from a prior Java version; Java does not clean-up after itself and we can help you remove some of those remnants, if you will supply the information. See:

Multiple problems with new retina iMac. Suspect graphics driver

New retina IMac, top spec, with latest Yosemite, and additional Cinema Display attached. Having multiple problems which I suspect are being caused by the graphics driver:
The long running issue with Adobe PS whereby under certain size options the tools cursor disappears and just has the arrow cursor.
With no warning, after doing an action such as opening an application the system reverts immediately to the login screen and does not show me as logged in.
After switching users, a blank screen other than the cursor is shown. Seems I have to power off to get past this one.
Can anybody shed any light on any of these, at least so that I can discount my theory of a single culprit?

So I went onto the Adobe forums and found a number of threads on this subject. A staff member replied with the following:
It's a video card driver bug introduced in MacOS 10.10 (which looks a lot like an old bug they fixed in 10.9).
Apple is aware of this, and the other video driver issues in 10.10, and working on solutions.
So thanks to Adobe we now know.

OS 10.5.6 multiple problems

How long before Apple releases OS 10.5.7 and solves the multiple problems created by 10.5.6? I have been exclusively an Apple user since the Apple ll, and this is the first time that I have tried to dodge talking about computers with Microsoft users. Now they are the ones laughing at me.

Allan, maybe you can help me. I installed the update from software update and since then three problems have cropped up that didn't exist on 10.5.5 that are now problems or annoyances:
1.) Since the update, my speakers (I presume it's because of the sound card) makes this god-awful crack sound when initialized at start-up and after waking from sleep. Prior to the update you could here that it was being initialized but it was slight (like if in the next room you wouldn't hear it, now you hear it where ever you are).
2.) Awaking from sleep used to require actually pushing the mouse or pressing keys for my bluetooth keyboard and mighty mouse. Now if I accidentally bump my desk or open and close a drawer on my desk the computer wakes from sleep.
3.) MobileMe sync errors seem to wake the computer from sleep. This one happened today.
Items 1 and 2 happen on my intel iMac number 3 happened today on my macbook. The light was pulsing I come back and it's wide awake and the sync item is open telling me that maybe my sync data has been reset. I did an archive intall on the iMac and item 1 & 2 disappeared and I reinstalled 10.5.5. The macbook was updated with the combo update and I don't have the problems I'm having on the iMac. BTW, do you happen to know where the soundcard drivers are on the Mac OS X disk if that solves problem one I will install it and maybe that will get rid of the cracking noise? Anyway, I don't want to put 10.5.6 back on the imac because of item 1 & 2.

Multiple Problems after Leopard upgrade HELP! Video display and FW problem

I don't know if this is related.. but I've been battling multiple problems ever since I upgraded my G5 to Leopard a week ago. Everything was perfect under Tiger.
Well, I think I've got everything solved except two last things.
1. My 750GH Maxtor Firewire drive... when I plug it in... does not show in the desktop and it causes both my internal drive and two other Firewire enclosures to disappear from the desktop. I can see all of them mounted in the disk utility, but if this one drive is plugged in.. all icons disappear from the desktop. If I unplug or unmount the 750GB drive.. everything comes back.
I've reformatted this drive, etc. This does not happen on my MacBookPro. The drive mounts fine on that. I've tried different cables, I've tried USB (it's a triple interface Maxtor) and nothing seems to work. I would assume there's something wrong with the drive and not my desktop... but the drive works fine on the MacBookPro.
PLEASE!! Any clues would help...
The other problem that only occurred directly after upgrading to Leopard... is that my graphics now get corrupted and garbled. I've got two video cards running two LCD monitors. The card giving me problems is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB). What happens is.. first all the window shadows and top menu bar start getting checkerboard patterns.. then the whole screen starts getting variants of different colors and checkerboard patterns. After awhile and refreshing the screen a few times... the problem goes away for a bit. Then comes back.
Again, this card and my entire system and drives were working fine under Tiger. Now, I don't know if I have a bad card? Is there something wrong with Leopard on my G5 2Ghz DP? Did my Maxtor 750GB triple interface drive just go bad with the upgrade?
I don't know where else to look, I'm guessing the "geniuses" at the Apple store won't help me since this machine is out of warranty. Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. I've been battling all these problems ever since I started the Leopard upgrade 4 days ago and have not got much sleep.

The drives not or disappearing on the desktop could point to the need to do a pram reset.
I believe you hold down the apple-option-p-r keys at startup and listen for a couple of chimes.

Multiple Problems with my 3rd Reader

I've owned the right to a Sony PRS-600 Reader for the past Two years. After my first one broke down due to unknown causes, it was returned refurbished within the month. The second time the refurbished Reader broke down (same model) I waited six months for a refurbished model that was returned to me Tuesday last week. Now, I'm experiencing multiple problems; when I log on to my account with or without my Reader plugged in, I get a message that says, "This device has been reported lost. please contact our customer support." Seeing as finding customer support has been difficult for me, I figured htis was the next best place to go to find help. The Sony Reader Library has been attached to 9 computers (unsure of how that can be, considering how I only have five) and two Reader's that named themselves Device 2 and 5. I can't authrowize my new Reader to my account for a reason I don't understand. Has one of my past readers been reported lost? Or my account? What does that even mean? Before my last Reader was sent in after it broke down, I moved some of my 150 books (which I can't afford to loose) onto an SD chip, but whenever I try to read some of the books that are on my chip in my new Reader, I get a symbol with text that says "Protected Page". I've loved my past Readers, but after all that has happened, I'm starting to give up. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do to fix this issue?

Thank you for your post and welcome to the forum.
It's appears that the authorizations have got mixed up - this is something Reader Store customer support can resolve for you. Give them a call and they can get the Reader authorized and registered properly for you - their number is on the following page:

Multiple problems with Reader 11 on Mac

I just downloaded Adobe Reader replacing Adobe Reader 8. This is the WORST version of Adobe Reader yet. I have multiple problems navigating documents.
    - There is no "next page" arrow on the tool bar. There's a "previous page" (which is totally useless on page 1) but no "next page". Even if you go click
View->Show/Hide->Toolbar Items->Page Navigation->Next Page it doesn't work - the arrow doesn't appear on the toolbar. None of them do - Last Page, First Page, none. Only the "previous page" arrow appears on the tool bar.
    - Clicking View->Show/Hide->Toolbar Items->Page Navigation->Last Page brings up a sidebar for comments. Sometimes. Other times it does nothing.
    - Searching doesn't work. I can search for text in the document and it won't be found, even if I can see that text on the page I'm currently looking at!! Btw, the same search on the same document in Adobe Reader 8 works correctly.
    - In Adobe Reader 8, next to the search box, were two icons for "previous" and "next" that took you to the previous or next occurrence in the document. To get that functionality, you have to open a separate window in Reader 11 instead of it being conveniently on the tool bar.
If anyone can tell me if Reader 10 was better and can tell me where to download it, I'd appreciate it because Reader 11 is useless.

Hi,
Please let me know what MAC OS version you are currently using.
Have you checked the performance after updating Reader to v11.0.09.
You can download older versions of Reader from: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/mac/

Dv3 2360ee multiple problems... please help!!

hello! i am using a dv3 2360ee, and i have multiple problems with it,
1-http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-e-g-Windows-8/hp-dv3-2360ee-overheating-every-hour-or... (i did make another thread but no body replied, also i forgot about other problems)
2-because you people forgot to add in NX switch support in the bios (i did install the new one and same thing happened) i had to clean-install win 8, and that lead to all my drivers, premium services(including their serial code) to be deleted(but that is my problem...) any ways, i did not find all the proper drivers on the website!! and so right now switch able graphics aren't running and so both the "ati radeon 4300/4500" and the "Intel i3 integrated graphics" to run at the same time, creating one screen(laptop) and one virtual screen, causing many things to run on the other screen, and just because it is already running and it is better my laptop screen is on the ati card, now when i try to set second screen only, using Fn+f4 and setting screen resolution did not work, and yes, infact the Intel card is taking over the first screen while the ati is the second, and the laptop screen is set on the second, now the problem is, setting the screen to duplicate or second screen only will cause me a long process of trying to make it work again, and when i finally am victories, if i sleep the laptop, shut down, hibernate, or even close the lead, boom the Intel card is working again causing me problems, and just to mention, i installed the latest drivers from the amd website, i do not want the Intel card running at all, because if you go to the link at no.1 i did not describe, but it is the processor that is over heating and i believe the processor is an apu with a week graphics card, and that might be adding some heat, also to the heat problem i installed pirriform speccy on my father's computer too(also dv3 2360ee, and fun fact is: he bought his 2 years before me), and his stuff run at about 50-50-55-40 (CPU-motherboard-gpu-hdd) and while typing this, mine are 78-76-79-(not showing up)!!
3-the battery is showing "plugged in, not charging" but is going up slowly, what is wrong??
4-i have to set the battery settings to high performance, anything other than that and i am back to the days of my old acer "celerion m " 1 gb ram laptop!! i know that the setting are just for sleep and other things but how can that alter the performance??????
and please focus on no.2 the most, thank you!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Just to note, it doesn't look like this unit actually supports Windows 8 based on the lack of drivers on the driver page.
I experienced similar issues with my unit in Windows 8. My unit also does not support Windows 8. My system was overheating as well, but this was because both video cards were actually running at the same time. The system was designed with switchable graphics and is meant to only have one or the other active and not both. Both cards running simultaneously generates additional heat the system is not equipped to handle.
For me, the steps listed in this thread is what reoslved my switchable graphics and overheating issues. I can only hope that it would do the same for you. Without an official Windows 8 switchable graphics driver available, I'm afraid the options are limited.
Regarding the battery, have you ran the battery test to verify it is functional? When it is plugged in, does the charging indicator light reflect it is charging (amber) or not charging (white/blue)? The battery test is accessible by powering the system on and pressing F8 about once a second to get the diagnostics menu. If the test is not listed, you should be able to use the start-up test as it includes a battery test. Incidentally, I had this same battery issue on my unit and replacing the battery resolved it for my system.
Regarding the fourth topic, the reason that is happening is that the battery is marked as not being charged which puts it in a reduced power profile by default. In a reduced power state, the components are reduced to save battery power. For example, the processor speed would be reduced resuling in the performance that was described. Power plan settings can be tweaked to your liking by clicking on change plan settings under the power plan and then change advanced power settings.

Multiple problems w Playbook

I'm not sure where to post regarding various problems I'm experiencing on my PB. I would be listing multiple problems, but I'd like to see if others are having these problems, and be sure that RIM knows about them so they can be addressed. It's been very frustrating for me.
Thanks in advance

Apologies for hijacking the thread, but I do notice sometimes that apps accessing web data will interfere with the pb web browser. Example is GeeReader and Browser. Sometimes the browser closes unexpectedly when both are running. I've not experienced this with FB app.
Clearing browser cache didn't help.

Solved - Multiple Problems Playing or Importing CDs with iTunes 7.5

Greetings,
I've been scanning these boards and seen multiple problems and solutions for the CD hangs and freezes in this upgrade. CDs would only play a song or two, then hang the program. Going to Preferences, Advanced, Importing, and unchecking the box for audio correction would allow CDs to play, but nothing could be imported. I checked and unchecked boxes, deleted and reinstalled Quicktime 7.3, 7.2, even 7.1.6. Nothing worked. The only solution, for me, was to uninstall iTunes, reboot, and then install the penultimate version, 7.4.3. I hope this helps...this has been a frustrating few days for me.
You can find all older versions of iTunes free here:
http://filehippo.com/download_itunes
Just say no to bug-ridden fixes!
JR

I haven't tried but I don't see why not...program is back to working normally in all other respects. To clarify my earlier problem, when importing from CDs I received an error message that the files were "corrupted and unreadable". This error applied to every song on a CD which, after reverting to 7.4.3, imported fine.

Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
