  • Help, I have my registration and login pages built but cannot get a + from Server Behaviors to connect to the  phpmyAdmin databae using WAMP. Instructions are unclear.

    I purchased my subscription for DW CC on the encouragement of the online salesperson because he assured me there would be support when it came to creating  login process with authentication. I don't know code so build all of my pages in Design view. Not even sure that the form is correct because the terminology and references in the help directions don't match what I see in the program.
    I have tried to go online and get help from YouTube but they skip too many steps for a novice to get anywhere in this case to make the connections between the database and the localhost. I was pulling weird errors but now have green checks for local host yet don't know how to verify or test the page to see if it is working.
    Can anyone send me something that would be step by step detail? I need a true instructor not someone who thinks they know enough to be a teacher.

    To follow up a bit more, the SB panels were removed from DW for a reason.  The code is outdated and the MySql connections won't work on servers running PHP 5.5+.  Learning to work with code is essential.  Design View alone won't cut it.

  • RIM needs to look at the Playbook registration process and followon support

    First, this post is NOT about the pros/cons of the Playbook.
    Second, it is NOT about the quality of support I received, which was very good.
    It's about the Playbook registration and the need for support during or right after that initial registration, as I experienced yesterday.  It's a it of a story, but necessary to understand what I went through.
    I have a PB-32 I setup last December, and did not need help during the registration.  That PB was to goto my wife as I also have an HP Touchpad.  Then the 64gb PB went on sale and it was too good to pass up.  The 64 was going to my wife and I would get the 32 after setup and transfer of her stuff, some of that process is the subject of other posts.
    During the IPL of the 64 where it asked for Country, I ran into communications problems and RIM's page would not load.  Others had the same problem, so I believe the site went down for a short while, as it came back an hour later.  When that cleared, it asked for the usual info, specifically my Email address.  So, since I wanted to put her 64 on her account, and later CHANGE the 32's email to mine, I re-registered her as a new account.
    Couldn't do it.  Duplicate account exists.  So I called general customer support too find out how to change the email registration for the 32 from the wife's to me, so I could register the 64 to her.  The automated help line wanted the serial # before anything else.  But the s/n on the 64 beside the USB/HDMI ports is unreadable small, and it wasn't up to see it on screen.  So, in desperation, I keyed in the 32 s/n.  That worked. 
    Now she could help, but not! 
    News Flash.  YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR INITIAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION. Anytime ever, for any reason.
    The only way to re-register the PB is to first do a security wipe and start over.  Yeah, right.  The thing is, the old registration remains in the system, and will not allow you to register another PB as a new registration using the same Email account.
    The second dumbest thing I ever heard.  If you sell your PB after a wipe, you will not be able to register a new PB with your same email account.  If you change ISP and get a new email account, you can't change your PB registration to it either.  I ended up registering the 64 to me, and leaving the 32 registered to the wife, not quite right, but acceptable.
    IPL of the 64 took over 2 hours!!!!
    Next, the 64 kept dropping the WIFI every minute or so for 2 - 3 minutes.  The 32 and Touchpad sitting beside it kept motoring on.  The WIFI signal strength on the 64 was low, about -87 to -93db, the 32 was about 5 to 10db better, so maybe there's a hardware problem.  So I called support again, but this time the 90 day support line.  This time I had the 64's s/n so I entered it in prior to getting a human contact.  First thing asked for.... the serial number.  So why key it in in the first place?  Then my name.  OK, but he could not find my registration info. 
    Well maybe it takes over an hour for RIM to post the data, but no, the INITIAL REGISTRATION DOES NOT TRANSFER TO THE 90 DAY SUPPORT DATABASE.  Ya gotta register for it separately.  Third dumbest thing.
    Sensing a bit of desperation in my voice, he offered to register me over the phone, otherwise I got to do it online.
    So we continued... next question "What city do you live in?"  Toronto, Ontario. 
    "What country is that in?"  Keep in mind RIM is a Canadian company in Kitchener Ontario, about a 2 hour drive from Toronto.  My question to him was "What country are you in?"  The reply.... "Central America."  Yes he had a bit of accent but that's not unusual in this country.  You would think that part of the RIM support staff orientation training would include a bit of Canadian and world geography.
    Finally the registration is done, but not quite.  The system will send me a confirmation email, to which I need to respond before we can continue.  Five minutes later, the email is there, and I respond.  First thing the confirmation page asks for.... My email address.  OK back to the support guy.
    Can't find my registration.  We waited about 10 minutes and finally, he asked, "what is the problem?"  No, my reg did not come up on his screen.  I explain the dropout problem, but at that time it was up and running.  The fix was to delete all my WIFI profiles (just the 1 here) and reset the PB.  Then connect and save the WIFI profile.  That did seem to help, as the 64 stayed connected for over an hour before it dropped out for a minute.  I'm going to get a new and better WIFI router.  I was on the phone for an hour and 10 minutes this time, of which, only 15 minutes was problem definition and solution.
    I'm not going to pontificate what RIM needs to do to, but it needs to do something about a user changing his registration data after the fact and needing only the initial registration data to qualify for the 90 days support.  And it needs to transfer that registration to the support line real fast, as the IPL and immediate setup are potentially the most problematic.
    Oh, and make the serial number large enough to be seen by a 67 yo with glasses.
    Done

    Agree it is a pain in the but I know that you can use the same bbid on 2 playbooks.

  • Looking for a Flex module to do Login, Registration, and License management

    I'm looking for an open-source or commercial Adobe Flex module to do user Login, Registration, and License management. The back-end can be either on my site (PHP and MySQL) or secure 3'rd party site.
    User Interface would have the following:
    Register (new user)
    Log-in (registered user)
    Purchase a new license (logged-in user)
    Apply the license to enable Flex app features (logged-in user)
    Any suggestions are appreciated,
    OutputLogic

    I've seen Flex login components out there, but I'm pretty sure you'd end up customizing the heck out of them to work with your app and back-end server. It may be faster to look at some examples and roll your own to suit.
    "purchasing a license" ... Take a look at PayPal's site for instructions on how to use their payment gateway in your app. It is pretty straightforward.
    "enable Flex app features"... I would store the license information on the server, along with the user's account information. Then when they load the Flex app, a simple license check (during login) could enable certain protected views within the app.

  • I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login.

    I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login. I tried the method where you go into single user mode and type in commands, however that method uses some of the letters that are not working on my laptop.

    You didn't mention which version of OS X your running but there are password reset utilities provided OS X: Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier) - Apple Support  or  OS X: Changing or resetting an account password - Apple Support
    Alternately you can use an external keyboard to log in and change the password. Make a backup if you don't have one, it's likely that your problems aren't over. If that water continues to migrate downward and fries the logic board your macbook will be toast.

  • I have tried all of the suggestions -passwords and logins are not saving. The lists are empty. Please help.

    I imported my profile from my other pc and my bookmarks are there but my pws and logins were not imported. I figured I would just reset up a master and start over but no matter what I do the logins and passwords do not show up in the list.

    What Firefox version is used on the other PC?
    Did you use an extension like FEBE or did you manually copy files?
    Firefox 32 and later builds store the passwords in the logins.json file in the profile folder and no longer use the signons.sqlite file that has been used before (the matching key3.db file is still needed).

    I was getting support for my Office 2008 for Mac, and the support tech said my OS was very slow. I have latest update for Snow10.6.7. Question; How can I speed up my Macbook?

    Hi
    In the first instance, I'd use Onyx and run through its sequence of maintenance and tune up tools:
    Verify, Maintenance, Cleaning.
    I'd also reset the SMC and PRAM (Google them)
    If that doesn't help then I'd look at System Preferences.. > Accounts > Login Items tab (not Login Options).  Check what processes get started at login and decide which ones you don't want.
    After that I'd use Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor to see if any processes are using a lot of computer power or if anything else nasty might be happening.
    If none of this helped then my final step would be to reinstall OS X.

    Any idea how to fix this BUG please???
    Am using a Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Redirect not working on registration or login

    Hi
    I have just started using the Developer Toolbox with CS3 and seem to have a problem. I built a registration login system. When I register the data is entered into the database however the redirected page does not appear the same page tries to reload and I get a "page cannot be Displayed" error.
    I get the same when I check the link in my email to activate the registration and again when I try the login.
    All data is entered correctly into the DB
    I would appreciate some help with this
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Unfortunatly, Forte does not provide SMTP and POP3 protocoles.
    But, you can use External connections to do it if you need.
    You can find a simple SMTP send mail sample code on
    http://perso.club-internet.fr/dnguyen/ . The receive should be as easy as the send.
    For MIME base 64 encoding and decoding, it should last one or two weeks of coding
    (if you need optimization).
    One advantage of coding this in Tool directly is the portability.
    In your case, on NT, you could also interface with MAPI using for instance the
    ActiveX interface.
    By that way, you will already have SMTP, POP3 and MIME.
    Hope this helps,

  • 4 critical questions about registration and re-sell.

    hi if i registered an ipod in my name and then decide to sell my ipod will my name be forever linked to the serial number?
    also how do i drop the registration and change it so its no longer registred to me?
    and lastly will it be able to be synched to the new users computer or must they do a restore? or do i have to do the restore?
    thanks...in advance.

    Hello Radium88,
    hi if i registered an ipod in my name and then decide to sell my ipod will my name be forever linked to the serial number?
    Yes, unless the new owner registers it in his or her own name. Nothing to worry about though really.
    also how do i drop the registration and change it so its no longer registred to me?
    There really isn't much you can do here unless the new owner decides to register it in his or her own name.
    and lastly will it be able to be synched to the new users computer or must they do a restore? or do i have to do the restore?
    I would recommend you restore it before you sell it to another user, but either way will work just fine.
    As to your last question, no. You cannot deauthorize a machine you no longer have physical access to. If you reach the limit of 5, you can always use the *Deauthorize all* option as described in this Apple support document.

  • What's causing these power-up and login problems?

    I recently switched from Tiger to Leopard (installed by the repairers) and have encountered some power-up and login problems. Basically, my set up is that the computer automatically logs into a non-admin account, launches a Safari page, and then that's it - after checking the webpage, I logout of that account, into my main account, and work from there.
    In Tiger :
    A few times quite recently the computer would freeze, either while Safari was launching / opening the webpage, or when I tried to logout. Force Quit didn't work (total freeze) so I would force power-off and switch on again, and things would be fine.
    In Leopard, one of the following has begun to happen, about two weeks after I began using it:
    • The computer reaches the grey screen with an endlessly rotating gear wheel. (Power off / on again)
    • The computer logs in to the account; after selecting 'Log out...' I log out, but instead of giving me the login screen, it logs straight back into that account, and this happens every time I try 'Log out...'. (Use Fast User Switching instead to reach main account, where one or two software glitches prompt a Restart) This has happened twice.
    • This morning, the computer reached the blue screen where the pointer appeared - faded - appeared - faded etc endlessly (Power off / on again).
    Clearly it is not the System - experiencing problems in both Tiger and Leopard proves that. Nor is it my HD - I've had a new one installed. It must therefore be a setting in my login account, though it's hard to see what : I only use that account for login, and a single launch of Safari, and it's been ok for years.
    Should i create another login account and see if that solves the problem? By the way, the repairers did not give me any Leopard install disks, so please don't suggest that method of diagnosis. I only have the original Tiger disks.

    Look in your Applications folder: Any Apple app there, except for the ones you've mentioned. And all the built-in parts of OSX.
    3. They told me that I CAN do a full restore from a Time Machine backup (via Disk Utility apparently).
    That should tell you something about the quality of their advice.
    See: [Mac OS X 10.6 Help Recovering your entire system|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15638.html].
    Or the *Restoring your entire system from a backup* section, towards the bottom of [Mac 101: Time Machine|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427].
    Or look up +*Time Machine+* in Mac Help.
    Or #14 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    And if there's a problem with your installation of OSX (which seems likely), or the Apple apps, you can't reinstall them, either.
    4. Having spent hours and hours getting the machine to work properly (upgrading Mail and sorting out Mail problems, upgrading Safari, re-upgrading iTunes and sorting out problems), I'm not prepared to spend hours and hours doing the whole thing in reverse to restore Tiger, including learning HOW to do that.
    Correct; unless you have backups of the Tiger system, that's impractical at best.
    So unless anyone has a reasonably simple, straightforward answer as to what this problem might be, it looks like I must live with it.
    You have some sort of problem with your Mac and it's not going to get better on it's own. Most likely, it will get worse.
    If you haven't, try the things recommended by Dale.
    Also try running the +Apple Hardware Test.+ It's on one of the disc(s) that came with your Mac, and is tailored to it's particular hardware. The disk should have +Apple Hardware Test+ and instructions for running it printed in very tiny type.
    I sympathize with your situation, but the repair shop violated the Apple license, and put you in an untenable situation. If they won't correct it by supplying the Leopard disc, you really should report them to Apple.
    You need to purchase a retail copy of Leopard (not the gray discs that came with another Mac; they won't boot yours). They're not shown on the Apple Store website anymore, and eBay and other sellers get a premium for them, but AppleCare should have them for the original $129.
