NavigateToUrl and variables issue

I'm having an issue passing variable to a local html file using an installed Air application. This works up to a point. I have a web page with a swf that passes a string Array to the Air app that is already installed on the desktop. I know the string arrray gets passed because I can parse it within the Air aplication. I run into a problem when I try to launch a local html file with the string array set as variables in the URLrequest. The launch.html sits in the same directory where the Application is installed. I have no problem launching the file, it just doesn't pass along the variables with it. Any clue as to why this isn't working would save me from disaster.
Here is the code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;
import flash.events.InvokeEvent;
import flash.utils.*;
import flash.events.BrowserInvokeEvent;
import flash.filesystem.File;
import flash.errors.IOError;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
import flash.net.URLLoaderDataFormat;
import flash.net.URLRequestMethod;
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.sendToURL;
var arguments:Array;
var dateString:String;
var indexString:String;
var videoTime:String;
var videoIndex:String;
var urlContent:String;
var urlRequester:URLRequest;
var variables:URLVariables;
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(BrowserInvokeEvent.BROWSER_INVOKE, onBrowserInvokeEvent);
//var currentDir:File;
function onBrowserInvokeEvent(invocation:BrowserInvokeEvent):void
arguments = invocation.arguments;
videoTime = invocation.arguments[0].toString();
videoIndex = invocation.arguments[1].toString();;
dateString = "dateString="+videoTime;
indexString="indexString="+videoIndex;
//urlContent = "launch.html"+"?"+dateString+"&"+indexString;
//currentDir = invocation.currentDirectory;
urlContent = "launch.html";
urlRequester = new URLRequest(urlContent);
variables = new URLVariables();
variables.dateString = videoTime;
variables.indexString = videoIndex;
urlRequester.data = variables;
Arguments.text=variables.toString();// outputs dateString=date&indexString=1
urlRequester.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;
var htmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(urlRequester);
//htmlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
htmlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
htmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, URLLoaded);
try    {
                htmlLoader.load(urlRequester);
               // Arguments.text="Loaded";
      //navigateToURL(urlRequester);
            catch (error:Error)    {
                Arguments.text="Unable to load URL";
navigateToURL(urlRequester);
The Javascript reading the variable looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var dateString;
window.onload=function()
var myQueryString=window.location.search; 
// remove the '?' sign if exists       
myQueryString=myQueryString.substr(1, myQueryString.length-1);
dateString=myQueryString;
function show_alert()
alert(dateString);//currently returns nothing
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" style="margin:0px">
<input type="button" onclick="show_alert()" value="Show alert box" />
Thanks in advance

Ok, since my air application is pulling variables via BrowserInvocation the variables need to be converted to strings. So once I declare the urlVariables I need to decode them to strings.
function onBrowserInvokeEvent(invocation:BrowserInvokeEvent):void
     arguments = invocation.arguments;
      videoTime = invocation.arguments[0].toString();
      videoIndex = invocation.arguments[1].toString();;
      dateString = "dateString="+videoTime;
      indexString="indexString="+videoIndex;
     urlContent = File.applicationDirectory.url.substring(0, File.applicationDirectory.url.lastIndexOf("/") + 1) + "launch.html";
      urlRequester = new URLRequest(urlContent);
      variables = new URLVariables();
      variables.dateString = videoTime;
     variables.indexString = videoIndex;
     variables.decode(variables.toString());
      urlRequester.data = variables;
      Arguments.text=variables.toString();
Thanks Again.

  • JTabbedPane and variable issue

    ok so here's what I've got, it's a mess I know, everything is added and defined and such, but got cut out to make the code fit, but before I can clean it up I have to figure out what is wrong, my problem as far as I can tell is I don't know how to reference variables in gui, I think I had this problem before but I don't know how to fix it, the variable names are right, it's looking in the right class but nothing in the tab can be found from the action listener. I don't know where else to look. I'm really hoping that's the issue anyway, and not something that requires the demolition of all the code. thank you,

    Im a newbie but Im finding it hard to understand what your talking about.
    Could you explain what your program is suppose to do and what you want it to do that it isnt doing yet because you dont know how?
    Plus I just thought I would mention this incase but its easier to use the following JFrame method instead of adding a window adaptor:
    setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

  • Powershell Coding - Path and Variable Issues

    Hello, I am working with a powershell program to copy a file off of my flash drive and into the startup file of what ever user is logged onto that computer. 
    My code is
    powershell -command { }; $a=[Environment]::UserName ; $c='E:\Other\Programs\program2.bat' ; $b='C:/Users/$a/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup' ; copy $c $b ; start-sleep 30
     It just uses the $a instead of the variable name...  if I change it to " " it says that the path cannot be found a cmd or operable program. and it stops at Windows/Start 
    can anyone help me out with this?
    For anyone wondering why I am using powershell -command  instead of ISE is because I am running it from a .bat file because the execution policy is set to restricted AND CANNOT BE CHANGED.

    Try
    $b="\"C:/Users/$a/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup\"";
    You must use double quotes for Powershell to use the value of $a - See:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh847740.aspx
    and you need an extra set of quotes escaped with a backslash to cope with the space in "Start Menu" - See:

  • System PATH environment variable issue when user log off and log in or switch from admin to non-admin account

    Hi,
    Problem Description:
    After installing my new product version, when user does log-off and log in again into admin account

    Why PATH environment variable is not refresh immediately after log off and log in again or Switch
    from admin to non-admin mode?. 
    I wouldn't have any expectation of what you are doing to work the way you expect.  E.g. why is the %ABC% being replaced at all?  There is some help about this ambiguous scenario in the cmd help...
    /V:ON Enable delayed environment variable expansion using ! as the
    delimiter. For example, /V:ON would allow !var! to expand the
    variable var at execution time. The var syntax expands variables
    at input time, which is quite a different thing when inside of a FOR
    loop.
    /V:OFF Disable delayed environment expansion.
    So, what's the setting for the /V:  switch that your users would be using?  Perhaps you should be using the ! instead of the % for your ABC variable?
    Oh.  There's more below where I found that...
    Delayed environment variable expansion is NOT enabled by default. You
    can enable or disable delayed environment variable expansion for a
    particular invocation of CMD.EXE with the /V:ON or /V:OFF switch. You
    can enable or disable delayed expansion for all invocations of CMD.EXE on a
    machine and/or user logon session by setting either or both of the
    following REG_DWORD values in the registry using REGEDIT.EXE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\DelayedExpansion
    and/or
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\DelayedExpansion
    to either 0x1 or 0x0. The user specific setting takes precedence over
    the machine setting. The command line switches take precedence over the
    registry settings.
    In a batch file the SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION or DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
    arguments takes precedence over the /V:ON or /V:OFF switch. See SETLOCAL /?
    for details.
    If delayed environment variable expansion is enabled, then the exclamation
    character can be used to substitute the value of an environment variable
    at execution time.
     So, I guess the essence of your "bug" will boil down to whether you
    need the feature to get the result you want and the
    truth of that first sentence but it certainly looks like a "can of worms" to me.   ; )

  • Tables for Fiels Fixed Value and Variable Value

    Hi,
    Can any one tell me where the actual fixed and variable costs are stored in which table and also the planned costs. I have checked it, but it is showing RKPLN as data structure. We are doing development report where in standard Cost Center Report we need to have break up of fixed and variable cost. Please guide me where exactly these fields are stored in which table. its very urgent.

    Hi,
    In regard to the tables for planned data please do a search of the forum as this question has already been asked a few times. E.g. here:
    CO PLANNING TABLES
    In regard to fixed / variable actual costs: these are not stored in separate tables. If a posting contains fixed and variable portions, for example postings resulting from splitting (KSS2), then the fixed portion is stored in the COEP- WKFBTR (line items) and COSS-WKF*  fields (summary items).  Please observe SAP note 192107 on this issue.

    Moderator: Please, respect the rules of the forum

    What you are asking is very project specific.
    Try to do the following:
    1. Ask for the detailed business requirements
    2.  Ask for the design documents. Usually, there will be bunch of documents that got documented when the project team made the design. There must be documents like conceptual / high level design, detailed / low level design, ABAP specifications, report specifications, etc.
    3. The design documents will contian other things, DATA FLOW DIAGRAM. Here in this diagram, you will see where the data comes and how it gets processed and transformed when the data reaches BW.
    4. Ask for your access to the develoment system or the sandbox ( where you can play around without affecting anybody's work).
    5. With the data fliow, you keep reviewing the objects in BW and also in the source system.
    6. Even if you dont get access to dev or sandbox, you cans till view the objects in display mode.
    7. Open the query designer and see how the variables are defined and how formulas are defined and how the restricted key figures are defined.
    8. In production system, go to SM37 and see the jobs that are scheduled.
    9. Try and co ordinate weekly calls with your team members and this is the place where ideas  and problems will be shared.
    If you have specific questions ot need some specific help, dont hesitate to send me a note. My email is [email protected]

  • FM 9 and Variables -

    Using FrameMaker v.9.0p237, installing updates as they pop up (do I have the latest?). Running on Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3. I want to remove variables that we no longer need. When I select the variable name and click the Trash can icon, the first variable is deleted.
    When I select subsequent variables, the selection moves several places down the list and the variable selected for deletion is still there. Frame
    was crashing inmediately when I tried to delete variables before I installed the last update (using Adobe Updater). However, if I continue, Frame
    eventually crashes.The crash message ( "FrameMaker has detected a serious error and must quit") shows the numbers 9004, 6920492, 9676798.
    In addition, when I try to edit a variable, the Add/Edit Variable dialog shows empty fields for the
    Name and Definition. I can re-enter the variable name and definition and click Edit and have it
    save the change, but I shouldn't have to do this. This behavior is intermittent - there are times I can
    edit variables as expected, especially after a crash.....
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. .

    We use alphabetic and numeric characters for variable names. I'll have to check for spaces - that is possible.
    The tip about looking at the MIF is a good one. I've edited MIF before for font issues, so it makes perfect
    sense. Thank you for that reminder!
    The files and variables were created in FM 7.2 (some even earlier versions than that). We went from 7.2 to 9 at
    the beginning of June. As I update the "template" for our documents, I do change the variables - adding new and
    changing the definitions of existing ones, so yes, variables are imported from "other" documents.
    The conflict with other apps is a definite possibility, as I am frequently running several apps when working in Frame.
    Thanks very much for all the suggestions! I'll be working in Frame most of the day and will watch carefully what happens.

  • Failed Hardware Scan and other issues E440

    Hi all,
    This is probably more rant than anything, but I wanted to give a heads up to others too.
    I have a ThinkPad E440 that is a year old. From the very first time I turned it on, there have been issues. The first hardware scan (via Lenovo Solution Center - LSC) showed a warning for the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Local Connection Test. There were also tons of System Events that always show up in the "Configuration History" part of the LSC. You can look at the calendar and tell exactly which days I used the computer because there will be System Events generated each day. Things like app crashes and failed drivers.
    In July 2014, I got the first warning for the 16 GB SSD - the SMART Short Self-Test. By February this year it showed as failed for each hardware scan (these were initially set up to run monthly).
    Also the whole time I've had it the touch screen would just stop working at some point and I would have to reboot to get it working again.
    I finally called Lenovo on March 30th, before my warranty expired. When I called that time, I didn't realize the hard drive failure was the SSD. So they sent me a new 500 GB drive. I also added the other things into the case when I talked to them. For the wireless issue they suggested making sure the driver was up to date. I did this and let them know when I called back that it was up to date and still having the warning. So I called them to tell them to tell them about the wireless and also that I realized it was the SSD having the failure, not the main drive. The first case had already been closed even though none of the other items were addressed.
    So they opened another case (this is #2). They said to mail them the laptop since the wireless issue would probably be on the board and it wasn't something I could fix myself. They sent a box with a prepaid overnight shipping label. I was very sick for a few days so I sent it back to them on April 10th (a Friday). Via UPS I saw it was delivered on Saturday. Work was performed on it Monday, April 13th and sent back to me that very day. I received it on April 14th. This part of the service has been excellent - very fast response.
    Being in IT, I included a letter with the laptop that outlined the issues that should have been in the case. I also printed the hardware scans and what the system events looked like.
    When I got the laptop back, the sheet inside said they had replaced the Speaker because of Distorted Sound. This was not even on the list even though I had noticed it. I didn't even power up the laptop before calling them again - yes, I was furious! Plus our power was out...
    So this was noon on the 14th. They opened case #3 and sent me ANOTHER BOX so I could send it back.
    After our power came back on the 15th, I powered up my laptop. I opened the browser (I have it set to restore the previous session) and there was a sexually explicit video on YouTube. I opened the other browser and there was a different video on YouTube. So this person was watching YouTube instead of fixing my laptop. I looked through both browser histories and there was quite a bit of activity while my laptop was at the repair center... I ran the hardware scan - still failed and a warning for the wireless. They really hadn't done anything.
    I also found two pictures of the repair person in the recycle bin...
    So I called back. I was LIVID! They opened another case (this is #4). And sent me ANOTHER BOX. I finally learned the other day that once a case is opened, it cannot be edited or added to at all. Instead, they close the other case and open a new one. I guess their turnaround time for closing cases is excellent! I've never seen a system like that - and I've used a lot of them.
    I got a really nice, patient fellow on the line. He took all my info (again). I emailed him the pictures, screen captures of the YouTube videos, the letter I had sent - everything. He entered as much into the new case as he could - he talked to one of the supervisors to make sure he did it right. Somehow he flagged it so that the laptop would get more attention (time) at the repair facility. He also opened a separate case (an escalation ticket?) for a supervisor to call me regarding the person's conduct at the repair facility. He said they would call me that day. (It's now the 25th and I've never heard from anyone)
    So, he sent me ANOTHER BOX. I've built up quite a stack of them.
    Our power was out AGAIN from the 17th through the 19th (don't get me started).
    I noticed a hardware scan had now gotten a failure on the main hard drive. So I called them on the 21st to add this to the case before sending the laptop back. The girl said they can't add anything to an existing case or edit it at all once it's opened. She would have to open a new case and SEND ME ANOTHER BOX. I told her to forget it because I was ready to send it in and didn't want to wait for another box. I also asked for a status on that "escalation case" where the supervisor was supposed to call me. In order to do this she, yes, wait for it, had to open ANOTHER CASE!! So they would know I wanted a status. I'm completely dumbfounded.
    So I sent it back on the 21st. This time I practically wiped it. I had already removed all my files the last time, but I had left my bookmarks and browser history intact.  I set up a guest logon with admin privileges. I updated my letter and printed off more stuff to include with the box. On one sheet I had only the case number, the serial number and machine type. On another sheet I had "DO NOT SEPARATE THIS PAPERWORK FROM THE LAPTOP" and the case number. I put this sheet on top (The guy on the 15th said my letter and stuff may have gotten separated from the laptop once it was delivered to the repair facility). I used a ton of staples so it would all stay together. I included in my letter the failure on the main hard drive and asked if they could look at it. I wrote about having to open a new case if I wanted to include it.
    They received it on the 22nd. A nice gentleman from the repair facility called me that day asking about the password. that. was. written. on the sheet they have you fill out. I told him what happened last time and also mentioned the hard drive failure and asked if he could look into it. He said they would.
    I received my laptop back yesterday morning.The sheet that came with it said they had "replaced the following parts to complete the repair of your laptop."
    Part Description                                           Symptom
    IMAGE                                                             Replaced due to engineering change
    System board                                                 Network card error
    Hard disk drive                                                Network card error
    ECA-WIRELESS                                            <no symptom listed>
    There was also a sheet saying they had installed a factory preload of software and I needed to install Lenovo and Windows updates.
    When I booted it up, the first thing I noticed, in the lower right corner was:
    Windows 8.1
    SecureBoot isn’t configured correctly
    Build 9600
    I ran a hardware scan. Well, I tried. It stopped part way through and said it finished successfully but most of the tasks showed up as cancelled. I tried to run it again - issues - rebooting ensued. It said the LSC wasn’t available and that I should try again or reboot.
    Tried several times. Then got what I guess is the new BSOD - kinder, gentler:
    Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just
    collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you. (xx% complete)
    If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error: DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL
    Even though the LSC said my Lenovo files were all up to date, I ran the Update. And first I had to download a new version of Update. Then I downloaded all of the Lenovo updates and installed them (there were quite a few). The BIOS update failed. While I was doing the Lenovo downloads, I got a light blue screen but no text (I was out of the room so I'm not sure what happened). Did CTRL-ALT-DEL and it shows only IE and Task Manager as applications that are running. Could not “Switch to” IE. Hitting window key to go to start didn't do anything. So I had to restart.
    By 3pm yesterday there were 34 system events in the configuration history.
    I ran the hardware scan again after I updated the Lenovo files, and you guessed it! Failure on the SSD (SMART Short Self-Test) and warning on the wireless. Nothing had changed. Except hardware scan is acting different than it did before I sent in the laptop for repairs. When it finishes, it instantly closes and just shows 100% complete. When I click on "see last results" it shows a screen called
    Log Information,
    Canceled 04/24/2015 n:nn pm 
    You have not done a hardware test on your computer
    And the calendar in LSC only shows the very first hardware scan I did on Friday. Even the hardware scan screen shows the date and time of the last scan. It also shows the error code. In order to see exactly what is failing, I have to sit there and watch it very closely and snap a picture of the screen as soon as the error (or warning) shows up.
    When I would try to run Windows update, it would hang up PC Settings. I couldn't even kill it using task manager because it didn't show up as a task. During this, I got a flag saying the firewall wasn't turned on. I tried to turn it on, but clicking on Turn on Windows Firewall didn't do anything. I tried to setup my Microsoft account but that just hung too.
    I ended up running Windows Update FOUR TIMES to get all the updates installed. Every time I ran it, it said "Done!" and I would run it again and more would show up. The last time was this morning.
    At some point, the error about SecureBoot went away.
    Then, I created a bootable BIOS update disk. Following the ReadMe instructions, I went through ThinkPad Setup and verified several values. Of note:
    Secure Boot was DISABLED. According to the ReadMe file, this should be ENABLED in Windows 8.1. I enabled it.
    Under Startup/Boot, according to the ReadMe that came with the BIOS update, UEFI/Legacy Boot is supposed to be set at UEFI Only for Windows 8.1. Mine was set to "Both". I changed it.
    In Startup, OS Optimized Defaults was DISABLED, even though it says right there (and in the BIOS update ReadMe) it should be ENABLED to meet Microsoft Windows 8 Certification Requirement.
    After these updates, I flashed the new BIOS.
    Then, I ran hardware scan again...
    Now I have TWO failures on the SSD: Random Seek Test and SMART Short Self-Test. Great.
    In the Event Viewer (that I recently discovered), it says my disk has a bad block. It just says The device, \Device\Harddisk\DR1, has a bad block. I assume this is the SSD...
    There are 867 events in the event viewer - Critical, Error, and Warning...
    Fifty-two of these are from October 7, 2013 - before my little laptop was a glimmer.
    The rest are from when Lenovo had it and yesterday and today.
    64 of them are the disk error.
    341 are from DeviceSetupManager. 65 of those are from failed driver installs. 69 are for not being able to establish a connection to the windows update service. 64 are from not being able to establish a connection to the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS).
    3 times it's rebooted without cleanly shutting down
    60 of them are from Service Control Manager and say The TDKLIB service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.
    One of them says {Registry Hive Recovered} Registry hive (file): '\??\C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT' was corrupted and it has been recovered. Some data might have been lost.
    16 are warnings that various processors in Group 0 are being limited by system firmware.
    12 say the certificate for local system with thumbprint <bunch of hex numbers> is about to expire or already expired.
    108 are warnings for failure to load the driver \Driver\WUDFRd for various devices
    16 are application errors
    One is for the computer rebooting from a "bug check"
    15 are for name resolutions timing out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
    10 are for SecureBoot being disabled.
    14 for services terminating unexpectedly
    15 are for WLAN Extensibility Module has stopped
    61 are for applications not being able to be restarted because the application SID does not match Conductor SID
    12 are for activation of CLSID timing out waiting for the service wuauserv to stop
    So, I'll call them on Monday and open. a. new. case (#5?) - but really 7. And get A NEW BOX.
    I'll keep you updated!

  • Difference between Temp table and Variable table and which one is better performance wise?

    Hello,
    Anyone could you explain What is difference between Temp Table (#, ##) and Variable table (DECLARE @V TABLE (EMP_ID INT)) ?
    Which one is recommended to use for better performance?
    also Is it possible to create CLUSTER and NONCLUSTER Index on Variable table?
    In my case: 1-2 days transactional data are more than 3-4 Millions. I tried using both # and table variable and found table variable is faster.
    Is that Table variable using Memory or Disk space?
    Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

    Check following link to see differences b/w TempTable & TableVariable: http://sqlwithmanoj.com/2010/05/15/temporary-tables-vs-table-variables/
    TempTables & TableVariables both use memory & tempDB in similar manner, check this blog post: http://sqlwithmanoj.com/2010/07/20/table-variables-are-not-stored-in-memory-but-in-tempdb/
    Performance wise if you are dealing with millions of records then TempTable is ideal, as you can create explicit indexes on top of them. But if there are less records then TableVariables are good suited.
    On Tables Variable explicit index are not allowed, if you define a PK column, then a Clustered Index will be created automatically.
    But it also depends upon specific scenarios you are dealing with , can you share it?

    If not, what do I do now??
    Also, I keep missing phone calls because I don't hear the phone ring... but the ringer is all the way up..
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Any and all advice very gratefully received as seriously peeved with BB models now.  My first BB was fantastic ... but all newer models have had problems ... think BB needs to ensure that all techy problems are fully ironed out prior to launching their new BB handset!
    1. Connect your Z10 to the wall outlet charger for an hour and then with the Z10 powered on, and with it STILL CONNECTED, remove the battery for a minute and replace. This will normally reset the the on-device battery meter and allow the charging status and percentage to show more correctly.
    2. Orange is your tech support contact and any issue which they cannot resolve, they should escalate up to BlackBerry tier two tech support, or you should ask/demand that.

  • New Airport Extreme and iPhone Issues

    I've had the networking day from ****. I previously had a 3rd Gen Time Capsule at our restaurant, connected to a Cisco 26port gigabit POE switch and Comcast digital voice and internet. Over the past few days, employees have reported trouble accessing the the Wifi network. After several restarts and firmware upgrades (including the dreaded "firmware problem" to fine update), nothing worked. I changed channels, back to auto, back to specific channels, back to auto. Made open guest networks. Nothing worked consistently. My iPhone might connect and my friend's might not. Nor his laptop consistently. Our Axis network cameras might take a bit extra time to connect. All quite random and quite frustrating.
    So I swap out an older Airport Extreme (4th gen I believe) using the same configuration as the TC (Time Capsule). It works fine, except for the last port not working as expected. No matter, I plug the mac mini into the Cisco switch and off we go. Nevertheless, I'm still told we are suffering random Wifi issues. So I buy a brand new AE (5th gen) today to replace that one. Should work like a charm I thought. Right....    
    Several hours later, I finally have the new AE working, but only after doing several hard resets/factory restores, the works. For some reason, the mac mini could not successfully update any of the connected AEs - whether connected directly into the same AE, or if the Mini was connected to the switch. Nothing worked. Every time I tried to update the AE, it would hang and force me to unplug and plug it back in. It would also never save setting changes. I finally resorted to a friend's macbook to be able to restore it successfully. And once that worked, the mini was able to update the AE flawlessly. Our Point of Sales (POS) machines connect fine, our cameras connect fine, wifi printer connects, and the mini connects, and everything has internet.
    Except my iPhone 5. Of course. It gets a signal fine (full bars). It gets an IP address. But I can't surf the web. Or download email. Or iMessages. Anything. No internet access. I try hard restarts on my iphone. I try assigning IP addresses by MAC address. I try resetting the AE. I try renaming the WiFi name. Nothing. I can make a guest network that works (on a different IP table, btw - 172, not 192.) But other than that, no access. Grrrr.
    So I have a "working" AE router where some devices successfully connect (through wifi and ethernet) and some dont' (wifi iPhone). My iPhone connects fine to my home TC. So shouldn't be anything to do with that. But I'm at a loss. I'm going to go back and restore everything and power cycle everything tonight or tomorrow night. I don't know if that will help, but it's worth a try. Lord knows it feels like I've tried everything else.
    Anyone have any good ideas of where to start besides voodoo dolls and baseball bats?

    I took mine back, because I was having these very same issues. We use contivity too. I was able to connect only to one of three of the servers we manage (in Europe). I couldn't connect to the servers in Asia or here in the USA.
    Replaced the Airport Extreme with my trusty old d-link 624, and no issues connecting to any of the three hubs.
    Otherwise, I liked the Airport Extreme, and I'll consider buying it again when and if they address this VPN issue. I work at home so its obviously a "deal breaker" for me.

  • IQ826t Restart and Heating Issue

    One thing I definitely do not like the HP's support especially when they will not allow us to buy a 7 Upgrade from Vista nor will they support something (even when I find their glitches and they admit after telling me it was just the OS).. On Repair work, I had to ship it out and this will be my 2-3 time to do repair on this PC in the past 3 years (and I have to wait a week for the repair to be done...)
    Besides that, IQ826t, Win 7 Ultimate SP1
    All Drivers are up to date with HP website (utilizing Win 7 64 bit drivers and Firmware is up to date). AVG update/scan (no issue - confirmed even rootkit).. Malwarebyte - Scan and no issue
    Disk Cleanup, Disk Defragmentation done on a monthly and quarterly schedule
    Biggest Issue:
    I am getting a crash with Win 7 0x124 Stop Error Message (happens periodically and even after a reboot)
    Never had this issue until May and the upgrade to Win 7 was done last year with SP1 update done on March (so it is not an issue with the OS as HP support personnel seems to think... I proved them the issue with Windows Update History, The  Bluescreen error code on my error code reader)..  This machine under warranty and I had issues with it constant (even in Vista)
    They state that it is the OS.. Again, if that was the case, I would think it would happen right away like my Toshiba on SP1 upgrade... That was not the case in the matter.  I have a firmware reset (default settings) and the issue persist..
    The Error Code relates always HAL.dll or ntoskrnl.exe
    One if hardware compatiblity and the other is an OS kernel exe file.. And this usually checking knowledge base relates to hardware failing due to 1) Compatibility (which HP website confirms is not the case) 2) OS corruption (which is not the case checking on safe mode and this happening STILL 3) Heat Issue (which I believe is the issue and was been documented on the Internet
    What I am noticing is the unit is extremely HOT (vent is almost burning when it has been off and just turned on).. I wonder if the hardware pieces are literally melting to destruction since I can't just open it up (they state it will void my warranty)
    The Symptoms before the Crash (happens any time.. Even right after a power up)
    If you are playing audio or video, you will start to hear jitters and sound seems to echo itself .. Video would start to lag and become choppy..  Systems start to slow down and things seem to run very slow.. I have seen the power light on the PC start on but the touchscreen just go black (will not restart sometimes)..
    Minor Issues (but could be related)
    1) When running PC Hardware Diagnostic, they will come up with an error code in the past and that was warranted for a motherboard replacement (of course, they ship the box to the wrong location and I was in the middle of my wedding so I get to it now).. It was pertaining to PCI Express Status ICH9 PCI Express Root Port  where it will generate an error code... Now, running the diagnostic... I will not get any error but PCI Express Root Port 3 & 5 do not show up on the diagnostic... Wouldn't that obvious show something that is a problem when there are 6 ports (which on the previous diagnostic that I can't grab past logs shows that). That is not warranted for a warranty work? Just a note, I got the fail test code (which was intermittent but keep happening and the tech support would not look at previous case.. Port 4 failed and a fatal device code)
    2) Blu-Ray player will not run and their answer is that it is your Blu-Ray until they realize that I ran it on 3 different Blu-Ray player standalone, different Blu-Ray, and confirm DVD will work.. They still think it is a software issue until they can't deny my point when it will not read the Blu-Ray no matter what (they took control and confirmed it).. They believe the HP SmartDVD software was failing because of Win 7 and not Vista (even when I downgrade and confirm it works, I stated the software is the issue...  Lone and behold, 2 months later they had an update that they refuse to admit I was RIGHT on the matter and done 15 hours of troubleshooting that they were wrong about)
    3) Wireless Keyboard and Mouse lost connectivity even if the battery is not low... Just stop typing or omit letters.. This is considering the keyboard is literally in front of the touchscreen
    4) Touchscreen is sensitive when it wants to be but won't in other... Constant issues there
    This is why I have so much issue with support.. They seem to show that they will do anything to deny the issue.. Heck, I am a computer technian calling on the issue.. It ain't like I didn't troubleshoot on the matter... But they think we are all morons and when I prove them wrong, they will use any excuse to honor warranty... That is why it is amazing..

    Look in your Settings > App Manager.
    Tap Device Monitor.
    Tap the Battery tab.
    At the upper right, tap "Since Last Charge" to change to "Last 48 Hours".
    What apps or processes are consuming the most battery power?
    ALSO, in setting up your new Z30, are you syncing many contacts or calendar data from a connected email account?
    Social accounts such as Facebook or Twitter?

  • Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues:  First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".

    Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues: 
    First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".  I'm not sure what this really means...
    The second issue is when I try to select "Manually Manage Music"
         The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes libary on "MY-PC".  Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?  An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    So... I don't want to do that, but I do what to be able to Manage my music.  I'm not sure what it means by being synced to another iTunes unless it means to an older version of itunes?
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
