No More Stumbling in the Dark

Here is one for you...
Have you ever gotten home late, come in through the garage door and landed on the floor after tripping over the lacrosse stick, backpack, or football?!
Well, I've been there, done that... but no more!
Now I have a door sensor on that door leading in from the garage. When I open the door, the sensor sends a message to the Verizon Home Control Platform. The Platform then tells the light on the kitchen table to turn on.
Sigh... now I have light when I come in... no more unplanned "trips" for me!!

Hovering mouse over the icons (as indicated below) should give you the required info. Is it not the case with you?
Thanks,
Vinayak

HT5714 Why did I pay $19 for Start Trek Into Darkness pre-order, if Apple KNEW they were going to release a bundle on the release date and I could have got the other Star Trek movie for just $5 more? What the heck Apple, I feel completely ripped off.

Why did I pay $19 for Start Trek Into Darkness pre-order, if Apple KNEW they were going to release a bundle on the release date and I could have got the other Star Trek movie for just $5 more? What the heck Apple, I feel completely ripped off.
I didn't even have time to cancel the preorder as that processed a couple minutes before the bundle was posted.
Pre-orders are apparently not worth my time ever again.

How do I prevent the Darker Shade Box (color shift) around Vector Objects when Printing

Sorry in advance for the novelette. I am absolutely mystified and frustrated and would love some help! I've been working on this problem for about 30 hours over the last 4 days to figure out what the heck is happening and cannot find an answer through various forms of research.
Basically, when I print a JPEG, I am getting this area (a box) of darker shaded coloring around my heart and love text. I've tested it a million different ways and am at a loss as to what the problem is ... is it an application problem, a color profile problem between my applications and printer, an improper way that I saved my file, etc.
Here is a photo I took of the image printed out (so it is slightly skewed from camera distortion):
The details:
(1) I create graphic art and sell it online. I save all of my printable art as JPEG files because of my customer base (diy hobbyists that print on their home printers without much knowledge base nor graphic design software).
(2) I use both Adobe Illustrator (AI) and Photoshop Elements 11 (PSE11) to design and save my artwork.
(3) I insert JPEG images into Microsoft Word 2003 documents to "test print" since most of my customers use home printers to print. Since most people have this basic software, it is a good gauge of the kind of print out they might get using the same or similar software.
(4) My PSE11 color profile setting is the default sRGB. I have test printed many times and I get the truest colors with this color profile.
(5) My AI color settings are normally also an sRGB color mode, but on occasion, I use a CMYK color mode if I am creating a larger document that I know the customer will need to take to a professional printer to print out.
(6) I do my home printing (for proofs) on an Epson Stylus Photo 1400 (which has the 6 color ink cartridges).
(7) Until this printing problem occurred on this test print out, I always used the "photo enhance" option when I designate settings for my printer via the Microsoft Word documents.
IMPORTANT: This is when I have the color shift?? or color rendering issues?? and it is the only time. If I use the regular ICM/ICC color profile of sRGB, the printing issue doesn't occur. Instead, I have a solid color background instead of this one with the strips of lighter color on the top and bottom. However, I can't control how the customer prints, so I need to feel confident that whatever color profile setting they use, they will not run into this problem. I even test printed the documents over at FedEx and the darker box/color shift did not occur.
(8) The document in question only has 3 sets of objects: the heart, the solid colored rectangle colored background and the text. All 3 objects are vectors, they are at 100% opacity and there are no "special effects" applied.
(9) The image was entirely created in AI this time and exported as a maximum quality JPEG file, although you will see below that I tried many ways to create and save the file so that I didn't have the color band borders on top/bottom.
(10) I regularly use AI for part of my art, then I drag it to my PSE11 open document and it becomes a Vector Object (it cannot by copying/pasting into a PSE11 document). I also regularly export AI images as PNG files, then insert them into an open PSE11 document. This printing issue has not occurred until recently. Here is an example of a very complex AI image I created, then inserted into PSE11 just to add the background (the Teddy Bear and books are AI vector objects) that were exported as PNG files then inserted into PSE11 to integrate with the background image - I test printed with Photo Enhance and had no printing issues:
So, from the research I have done, it looks like it is a color rendering or color space issue with conflicting color profiles in the same document. I checked my color profile settings and both sRGB and CMYK were set to embed ICC color profiles.
I tried changing AI settings to Preserve Numbers (ignore linked profiles) for CMYK, but that didn't work.
I also checked and made sure that not only the document setup showed the sRGB color profile, but that all the objects within the document also were converted to sRGB as well for consistency. That didn't work.
I tried converting the document to CMYK along with the vector objects. That didn't work.
I tried saving the heart image as a PNG file alone, the "love" text as a PNG file alone, both the heart and text together as a PNG files alone. Once saved as PNG files, I inserted them into an open empty PSE11 document - as I normally do. I then added the background color I wanted. That didn't work - the print still showed the color changes.
I tried dragging each vector object separately and even as a group and got the same color change issue when printing.
I tried "expanding" and "outlining" the text before exporting as JPEG, before exporting as a PNG and before dragging as a vector object into PSE11. Expanding the text did not help the situation.
I tried exporting as Adobe PDF, then opening in PSE11, then resaving as JPEG. That didn't work.
I tried flattening transparency (even though there is no transparency in the AI file). That didn't work.
I tried rasterizing the image. That didn't work.
Thinking that the file might be corrupt, I started from scratch and redesigned the same heart and love text. Unfortunately, I had the same problem as before. At this point, my AI started becoming buggy and would not open new files. It happened repeatedly and I decided it was best to uninstall and reinstall AI (and maybe that would fix the problem).
I created just the heart in AI, then inserted it into an open PSE11 document (both after exporting as PNG and also by dragging as Vector Object from AI). It seemed to work. I could both drag the vector into PSE11 from AI and export from AI as a PNG, then insert into open PSE11 document with a background color - and it printed a solid background.
So, I thought that reinstalling and setting back to defaults worked. But, then I added the love text around the heart and tried exporting as JPEG files and the same problem continued to recur. Whether I dragged as a Vector object into PSE11 (the heart object and love text separately and also another time with the vector objects dragged as a group) or saved them as PNG files and inserted into PSE11 - I got the different shades of color on what should be a solid background. I even tried saving the PSE11 as a PSD file first, then resaving as JPEG and I tried saving as PNG and printing and this didn't help solve the problem.
I really think it is some color conflict issue but I can't figure it out. I am definitely not very knowledgeable about color profiles and how to sync all my devices, however, as I mentioned, this was not an issue until recently (and I think??? I recall changing the CMYK setting from Preserve Numbers to embed color profile a month or so ago - however, it should have been solved when AI went back to its defaults upon reinstall).
The reason I believe it is a color rendering/color space issue is because I could see the color output when I saved the JPEG with CMYK color profile versus sRGB color profile and the sRGB colors were much richer, not surprisingly. The top and bottom colors matched the sRGB printout and the middle darker box section matched the CMYK printout.
I am sure it is something fundamental or simple and I am completely overlooking it. I wish it were just a transparency issue, because people know how to fix or do workarounds for it. But, there are no vector objects with any transparency ...
If I missed some detail, I apologize. Any help would be a dream come true at this point! lol
Thank you!

Okay, I got motivated to try again. From doing a bit more research on troubleshooting AI printing problems, the Adobe article talks about print drivers. It was advised to uninstall and reinstall the print driver if the printing issue persists. So, I did. Unfortunately, I still had the same result after reinstalling and trying a test print! Ugh.
So, as Jacob said upfront, I seem to have an overactive print driver that is trying too hard (and it is a non-postscript printer which I realize is part of the problem).
There are so many variables in my situation as to how I create art and save/export art. I sometimes work solely in AI, sometimes solely in PSE and sometimes I use both programs to create. Consequently, I will:
(1) export directly from AI as JPEG if I am not adding PSE11 artwork.
(2) export directly from AI as PNG if I plan on inserting that image into PSE11 to add to artwork I have created in PSE11.
(3) drag vector objects as a Smart Objects directly from AI to PSE11 to add to artwork I am creating in PSE11 if I know I will playing with the vector object and resizing in PSE11.
So, I did a test print using scenario 2, where I inserted the heart and love text PNG (AI created vector object) into an old PSE11 document. This old document already had a vector object from AI with a solid background and I knew it printed correctly. So, after inserting this new PNG from AI into this old document, it printed correctly using the photo enhance mode.
However, I haven't had a chance to actually create new art in the older AI files (that I know print properly), resave as something else and try another test print (either by exporting as JPEG and printing in Word or by exporting as PNG file and inserting into PSE11 document, then saving as JPEG and printing in Word).
After testing the different possibilities of ICM settings within my printer, I found that the JPEG images printed out with the truest colors and best quality if I simply selected "no color management" from the printer. Shocker, huh? lol
MY SOLUTION: So, what I think I will simply do is add an instruction sheet with the printables I sell, explaining that the color profile setting should never be handled by the printer so make sure to turn off color management by printer (and if they feel they must use the printer for color management, make sure the setting is sRGB since I embed that color profile in my JPEG's).
Edited to add: Since my issue was never about how I could print a successful image (I knew I could simply change the color profile settings), but rather about how to make sure that customers would get consistent and high quality print outputs of my digital images, this seems like the best approach.
I don't think I will every really know exactly why I am now getting color shifts in the "photo enhance" mode when I did not have this problem a couple months ago - applying the same methods of creating artwork. I was concerned that I was saving/exporting using incorrect or mismatched color settings or something of that nature. However, since I went through the process of making my color spaces the same for everything, and I still have issue, clearly that is not the culprit. The only thing I can do to solve the problem and it is a straightforward solution anyway -> is to educate the buyer on how to print successfully (don't use photo enhance! ha ha).
Thanks again to everyone who chimed in and offered advice!

The Dark Side of Edge

TL;DR: Be Careful when you Edge up. Has anyone else had a problem with the warehouse “not receiving” the returned the device? How did it turn out?
When I heard about the Edge program it was perfect for me. Early upgrades, just return the phone that I would have no use for anyway, kind of like leasing a car. The Dark Side came when I actually tried to enjoy that benefit.
On 11/2/14, at an Apple Store I did an Edge upgrade (after having to explain to the store employees that this was even a thing). This resulted in having to change my plan because however my current plan was listed in Verizon’s system it looked like I had to data package even though I did (upgraded from a Moto X). Walked away ok with the whole thing.
On 11/4/14 called Verizon explained the plan change and the rep put me back on a plan that mimicked the pricing I had before (he didn’t inform me that it was a contract plan, but no big deal I have to keep the phone at least a year anyway before I can think about buying out the contract). Also tell rep I had not received instructions on how to return the old device; told to just take it to a Verizon store. Satisfied.
Then the ordeal begins.
Can't remember the exact date I went to the Verizon store 11/9 or 11/16 but rep wants NOTHING to do with me, will not take phone, says "since you upgraded at an Apple Store, I can't even touch your account". Call Verizon after leaving store, was told a return pack would be sent. I wait............. Return package came, dropped off at the post office keep tracking number, sign up for text alerts, breath a sigh of relief when package is delivered.
Got my first bill after the Edge up and somehow had a data overage because of the prorated plan changes, didn't think that was fair, but I was the one who changed plans so I just kind of ate it.
December bill comes and it’s WAY higher than normal, not plan change proration higher than normal, but hundreds of dollars (249.96 to be exact) higher than normal. I was charged for the old device! Call Verizon, am told that this is a known error they will fix it; wait a couple weeks bill is coming due; call again and am told to pay what I owe and when the new bill is generated it will all be fine. I wait, but I’m not happy.
January bill comes now I am “past due” despite paying the amount I actually owed (as instructed by the representative). Call get a completely different story from the new rep who when asked very politely to inform me if there were any notes on my account decides without warning to transfer me to tech support. The tech support guy is very nice, but says he has to create a ticket and he will personally call me back 48 hours later. He even sent a text message with the date and time of the scheduled call. I wait……………………..He never calls. So I call explain the situation and am told I have to start from scratch. I explain all of the above to a rep I can barely hear and she does a lot of typing and I spend a lot of time on hold while she talks to her supervisor. Her response, I never returned the Moto X ( I provide her with the tracking number showing that the phone was delivered she checks it herself and confirms) apparently for whatever reason the warehouse never accepted the phone (this was NEVER mentioned on the three previous calls) and they were going to “look into it” and get my account credited. Waited a week.
Now when I call Verizon I don’t even get the regular main menu, I only get a menu that says my account is past due and talks about paying your bill, making payment arrangements, or getting a copy of the bill (which I have). Finally after pressing zero several times, being hung up on, then doing the whole thing again I got a rep when I explain that I still have this balance on my account she says the notes in my account say it may be until Feb 4 before something happens and somehow I have a feeling it won’t be.

TL;DR Feb 4 came and went, issue still not fixed to Feb 9 and beyond? I must say that the with the exception of the rep that unceremoniously transferred me rather than try to help with the issue, EVERYONE has been EXTREMELY understanding about this process
Update: Feb 4 came and went and of course the charge was not reversed. Waited until the 5th to call and could only get through to the payment dept (since I "owe them money"). The rep starts the conversation with "I'm showing a past due balance, how are you planning to resolve that today". Informed her of the ongoing issue and was informed that my account was noted and that it would be reviewed on the 9th (would have been nice if she'd looked at that first before asking me for money). I actually blubbered and found myself, a middle aged man, near tears at this point, which prompted the payment rep to transfer me to customer care. The gentleman I spoke to at customer care listened to me unload (I'm beyond frustrated at this point, but some of my best friends work in call centers so I've become much more aware of what they deal with and try to explain my frustration in the most polite manner possible) and then reviewed the issues and assures me that it will be resolved on the 9th and despite my better judgement, I trust him (I have to commend VZW on their hiring and/or training practices, the reps do a great job of deescalation). Fingers crossed.

Iphone doesn't work in the dark?!

This is really weird but my Iphone4 doesn't work in the dark. It works fine during the day but when it gets dark (e.g if I turn the lights off at night, in the movies, in a dark club) it stops working - When I push the home button or the on/off button the screen flashes normal and then just fades to black?? Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks!

Can you keep it closer to your body, to use body heat to help keep it a little warmer? All phones, iPhones or others, have operating temperature range. You would have to try and locate a more ruggedized phone that was built to operate in those temperature extremes.

Just because sql allows unformatted query text does not mean it is a good idea. Why not bring some sanity to this for your own sake, not to mention that of people from whom you are expecting to actually read and analyze this mess. I wish someone could explain to me why people write these long stream-of-consciousness queries.

          AND ( STAT_CODE < 1
        AND ( PULL_LOCN_ID IS NULL
      )And finally, your WHERE clause is a simple string of AND conditions, there was no need to complicate it with all of the nested parentheses. Much simpler:
WHERE ALLOC_INVN_DTL.TASK_CMPL_REF_CODE = :1
   AND ALLOC_INVN_DTL.TASK_CMPL_REF_NBR = :2
   AND ALLOC_INVN_DTL.SKU_ID = :3
   AND ALLOC_INVN_DTL.CNTR_NBR = :4
   AND ALLOC_INVN_DTL.STAT_CODE < 1
   AND ALLOC_INVN_DTL.PULL_LOCN_ID IS NULL
           None of the above makes a whit of difference in your query performance, but if you worked in my office, I would make you clean it up before I even attempted to do a performance analysis.

Seduced to the Dark Side ....

Hi all,
I've been a die hard PC fan all my adult life and the thought of using a Mac would send me into a panic. However over the past 18 months or so, I've slowly been seduced to the dark side ;o). It was slow at first not even perceivable (is that even a word?). My friend persuaded me into getting the iPhone 3GS. I was impressed and reliased I couldn't live without it. It even replaced my bedside alarm clock of 12 years, and as it lay there at night it would gently glow and pulsate, gently ticking away the seconds and telling me that the time was 1:00am and that all was well in life. Then along came it's younger sister a year or so later and I was smitten. It was love at first site. I looked at big sis and thought, hey you're begining to look a bit fat and pudgey. Your looks ain't what they used to be sweet heart, you've let your self go. Smudgey finger prints smeared across what was once such a bright, clean and scratch free screen. Before she knew it, she was pimped on eBay for 300 smackers and it was all I could do not to smash the shop door down as I waited for the time to tick onto 9am. I laid my money on the counter and took her gently in my hand. I immediately bought her the tight fitting corset, no dropped signals for you my love, I whispered gently. I can inform you all that we are very happy together but I do think back to big sis with fond memories and pray she's doing well and being stroked as gently as she was when she was with me. Then, just a while ago, came big mamma, and wow, what a mamma she was. I can tell you all that Big certainly is better. Well I thought our family was complete and there I thought it would end, but, may God have mercy on my soul, I'm looking at the gorgeous iMac. What's wrong with me? 18 months ago I was a normal bloke, in a normal hardware reltionship, a one PC guy. Ok sometimes it was hard going, and we both had to work hard at the relationship, but there we had great times in Call of Duty online fragging parties where we would while away the early hours blowing the heads off anyone and everyone, but she became too expensive to run. She started to slow her pace and demanded more and more and once again I find myself smitten. This time it's the iMac. It's sleek and slender design has me sneeking peeks at it on the iPad, while my PC sits forlorn in the corner neglected and gathering dust. I feel guilty but what can a man do when faced with sheer beauty?! I'm planning on a blind date at the Apple store, Kingston, where a chaperone has agreed to introduce me to iMac 27in 2.66Ghz Quad 1Gb 1Tb. A bit of a mouthfull I know, but I'm sure once the relationship blossoms we'll find those cute nick names that couples have for one another. But I need advice and this is where you guys come in. Before I do take the plunge and commit to this relationship I would like to ask some questions. I doubt that i will be able to break the umbilical chord between me and my PC so easily, so I would like to know more about this boot camp thing. As an avid PC gamer, I would very much like to continue to play my games both online and off with great emphasis on smooth game play and great graphics. Is this feasible with the new iMac? Is there any emulation involved or is it actual native intel based hardware allowing me simply to load up Win 7? I would also like to be able to install my existing PC software without have to fork out for Mac equivalents, is this possible? Many thanks for the advise and I hope you enjoyed the read!

Hi and welcome to Discussions and hopefully the world of Macs,
BootCamp is no emulation of virtualization software but lets you install WIndows natively on an Intel-based Mac.
Start of with reading the Installation Guide plus the FAQs here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
You might also stop by the BootCamp Forum to be found here http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237
In essence running WIndows on the iMac is like running WIndows on any other given PC.
You need a descent Anti-Virus software for it you can install all your WIndows programs and all your Windows games
Have Fun and give my regards to little sis and big mamma

Camera noise..in the dark...

Hi
lets do a test...
bring the camera up
put to superior auto mode
Now go into a dark room (best to do at night with lights off)
Now what do you see... if its lots of purple snowy effect down both sides
Then this is pure noise of the camera shown to you.
Now then how do you get rid of this noise
go to manual
go to settings and change the ISO to ...well anything....
the noise in the dark will go all together apart from ISO 3200 it will start to come back
so what would you say is the noise in superior auto?
A higher ISO that we can not use in manual?
here is the thing tho ...in manual as soon as you choose `any` ISO the image stabilier switiches itself off...?
So is the noise to do with the image stabiliser or a higher ISO we cannot use in manual mode...

rictv_me - I don't feel insulted You are right another time.
Higher ISO speed = more noise. That's the way digital sensor works (it's called grain on analog film). You can compare it to sensitivity to the light, but there must be any light anyway.
Even professional DSLRs can't shoot without any light, because light makes a photo. In image stabilization mode phone sets ISO automatically to be speed enough to capture the scene without making moved photo. And it is digital process, so there is no way to use IS with custom ISO, it can't work this way.
When everything have failed already, try to read the manual.

i want to know why the game the dark knight rises is not supported by blackberry z10 slt100-1

If you look at the limitations of the game in BlackBerry World (http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/20082872/) you can find out that the game is only available in some countries. Is your country one of the mentioned ? If not, that is the reason why it is not available.
If you want to know more on why only few countries are available, you can contact the developer (Gameloft inc.) for more information.
A like is always appreciated,
but a nomination for BB Elite even more :-)

I have a problem when iPhone 5 includes the camera in the dark on the screen appear mlenki point that wink. what is it?

I have a problem when iPhone 5 includes the camera in the dark on the screen appear mlenki point that wink. what is it?

I still don't have any idea what caused the problem. It didn't go away when I re-synced. However, when I completely shut down the iPod (64GB Gen4) by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button until it gave me the red 'slide to turn off' control, and then rebooting it from scratch the problem went away.
It looks like there was some conflict between the system and the app that is going to be quite difficult to find. If it happens again I'll try to be more observant of the conditions and report more information.

I am completely in the dark about how to manage devices and use iTunes, are there tutorials available?

I am completely in the dark about how to manage my iTunes and devices.
I have a desktop with Windows 8 (ugh!!) and I have iTunes for Windows. My wife has a iPod Touch and I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4S. Currently, the only devices associated with my Apple ID are the desktop and the iPad. How do I add the iPod and my iPhone to the devices and how do I put "puchased" iTunes on my wife's iPod when attached to the desktop?
Thanks.

There was a problem updating InDesign CC For more information see the specific error below. Update Failed Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49)

Posted the entire text from the error window, when trying to update, using the normal NON-TECHIE way to update any and all Adobe CC products, via the Creative Cloud updater installed when Adobe Creative Cloud subscription was purchased when first offered.
The following occurs, ad nauseam:
There was a problem updating InDesign CC
For more information see the specific error below.
Update Failed
Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49)
Here's the crux of my frustration:
(1) Customer Service is NOT contact-able, to receive LIVE help.
(2) There is NO way for me to mitigate this "Download error", being a student learning InDesign, and NOT in any way capable of tweaking folders/files here and there.
Therefore, the real question:
Given that a significant number of subscribers are having the above referenced issue with attempting to download the current update for InDesign, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO, in order to get our contractually paid-for updates to our legally and contractually paid-for Adobe software, specifically in my case, InDesgin's current update?
Please, NO TECHNICAL mumbo-jumbo which most likely will cause the overwhelming majority of users, like me, to seriously corrupt their computer files, but rather an honest, straightforward "what to do" from real CS/Engineers working for Adobe, as to how to FIX this issue, period.
===========================================================
UPDATE:
Here is a way in which I think I was able to "update" my InDesign CC application:
(1) Sign-In to your Adobe Account
https://www.adobe.com/
(2) Click on the MENU icon
(3) Click on the product InDesign icon
Your browser should display the page for Adobe InDesign CC
https://www.adobe.com/products/indesign.html?promoid=KLXLU
(4) Click on the Download icon,
Your browser should now display the page to download InDesign,
https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/indesign
(5) a Pop-Up window should open, and display:
Launch Application
This link needs to be opened with an application.
with the first option to select being the CreativeCloud(URIHandler)
(5) Select this application and click OK.
What happened when I followed steps (1) thorugh (5) is that:
(a) InDesign CC(2014) was installed,
(b) InDesign CC, updated, and then
(c) InDesign CC(2014), also updated.
Why this all worked, is a mystery to me.
Looks like a separate, "new" version of InDesign, InDesign CC(2014), was installed, the existing "old" InDesign was updated, and then the newly installed Indesign CC(2014) was further updated.
A BIT MORE, when I launched my InDesign CC app, and checked to see if there were Updates Available, there in fact was an Adobe InDesign CC 64 bit (9.2.2) update.
I clicked on UPDATE and my "old" InDesign CC app was "successfully updated."
FURTHER INFO: I may have neglected to list some important info ... OS: Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center, 64-bit
Confused, I am able to launch BOTH of these apps, and hopefully I may use one of these versions of the InDesign CC app, to do some InDesign work.
Will keep y'all posted!

The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information. Outcome: Unknown Error

Received this error (The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.) recently on a workflow that was
working fine and no changes were made to the workflow.
I have tried a few suggestions, i.e. adding a pause before any ‘Update’ action (which didn’t help because the workflow past this action without incident); checked the data type being written
to the fields (the correct data types are being written); and we even checked the list schema to ensure the list names and the internal names are aligned (they
are), but we still cannot figure out why the workflow is still throwing this error.
We located the area within the workflow step where it is failing and we inserted a logging action to determine if the workflow would execute the logging action but it did not, but wrote the same error message.
The workflow is a Reusable Approval workflow designed in SharePoint Designer 2010 and attached to a content type.
The form associated with the list was modified in InfoPath 2010.
Approvers would provide their approval in the InfoPath form which is then read by the workflow.
Side note - items created after the workflow throws this Unknown Error some seem to be working fine.
We have deleted the item in question and re-added it with no effect.
Based on what we were able to determine there don’t seem to be any consistency with how this issue is behaving.
Any suggestions on how to further investigate this issue in order to find the root cause would be greatly appreciated?
Cheers

Hi,
I understand that the reusable workflow doesn’t work properly now. Have you tried to remove the Update list item action to see whether the workflow can run without issue?
If the workflow runs perfectly when the Update list item action is removed, then you need to check whether there are errors in the update action. Check whether the values have been changed.
Thanks,

The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information using Update Item action

I got error "The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information "I found out the cause is Update Item action
I need to update item in another List call Customer Report ,the field call "Issues" with data type "Choice" to yes
then the error arise . please help..

Thanks for the quick response Nikhil.
Our SPF 2010 server is relatively small to many setups I am sure. The list with the issue only has 4456 items and there are a few associated lists, eg lookups, Tasks, etc see below for count.
Site Lists
Engagements = 4456 (Errors on this list, primary list for activity)
Tasks = 7711 (All workflow tasks from all site lists)
Clients = 4396 (Lookup from Engagements, Tslips, etc)
Workflow History = 584930 (I periodically run a cleanup on this and try to keep it under 400k)
Tslips = 3522 (Engagements list can create items here, but overall not much interaction between lists)
A few other lists that are used by workflows to lookup associations that are fairly static and under 50 items, eg "Parters Admin" used to lookup a partners executive admin to assign a task.
