Not the usual

I guess a lot of people have a similar problem w/ iTunes not opening up, but mine is sort of weird. It will show in the Task Manager for 2-3 seconds, then disappear. No message, nothing. I've uninstalled and re-installed, it didn't fix anyhting.
It could just be my computer's own problems but I'm wondering if anyone else had any tips.
It ***** Windows XP

I asked because Norton block iTunes a lot.
Anyway, if it worked before and doesn't now, it sounds like malware.

Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

Webutil-Problem (not the usual "PRE-FORM", "WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE" etc.)

Hello,
We have an application with lots of modules, where we use webutil to create text files on the client for data exports. The export is called in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger and usually works fine, but we have the following problem:
If two modules, where webutil is used, are opened at the same time and one module is closed, webutil does not function anymore in the other module. If we then try to create a text file after closing on module, we get the following error-message:
Oracle.forms.webutil.file.FileFunctions bean not found.
WEBUTIL.FILE.FILE_SELECTION_DIALOG_INT will not work.
It’s not only the FileFunctions bean, all other webutil functions do not work also anymore in the remaining module.
This is not the usual “PRE-FORM”, “WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE” etc. Webutil-Problem.
As I said before, webutil works, but when we close one module with webutil used, it does not work in another open module anymore.
Any Idea, why this happens and how to solve the problem???
Kind regards
Udo

Hello,
Yes, both modules work in the the same session and session is not disconnected, when one of the modules is closed.
Webutill.pll is attached on both forms and all forms in our application using webutil usually work fine with the exception mentioned above.
It's a bit difficult to explain, what happens in our application, but I try:
Our application consists of modules that call other modules with call_form or go_form , when the module is open, all in the same session. "Global" Parameters are passed with SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA. Usually the calling forms stays open.
In the following constellation webutil does not work anymore at a certain point :
- Open module A (with webutil attached) and webutil works
- Then module A calls module B (with webutil attached) and webutil works in module B
- GO_FORM (module A) and webutil still works (while module B is still open)
- CALL_FORM (module C) (in our case webutil is not attached to this module, but I think that is not the problem) module C closes module B (while module A stays open)
- After making a choice in module C, module C closes itself with EXIT_FORM.
- Go back to the open module A, make a new query with the choice made in module C and webutil does not work anymore in module A

Not the usual 'login loop' problem, help.

The login loop problem I'm facing is not the usual login loop problem when starting up mac; it's when I'm trying to log into websites or applications (most of them, eg. facebook, instagram).
I have tried:
using other browsers: Safari, Firefox, Maxthon, Chrome
clearing all cookies / caches / keychains / passwords
repairing disk
deleting launchservices cache
using other userid to login
All to no avail.
How do I solve this without having to reformat/install mac?
Thank you.

Hi, are you using Parental contrils or a managed account, or an admin account?

Audio engine overloaded (this is not the usual problem!)

Hi people
it's so frustrating I could cry. This is not the usual "I have 10 software synth running and get overload message".
Bottom line is: Even with a new project and logic stopped the CPU meters go up to 100%. It happens every 5 - 15 secs. What is strange that the system monitor does not show these spikes. I know it's just sampling but at least some of the spikes should be caught by the monitor. But it's steady at around 10-15% user and system. There is of course no other process eating cpu.
Console looks like this:
Mar 5 00:34:13 noname Logic Pro[902]: Audio engine overloaded, resetting
Mar 5 00:34:43: --- last message repeated 1 time ---
Mar 5 00:37:11 noname Logic Pro[902]: Audio engine overloaded, resetting

I swear: yesterday everything was fine. Now it's not working anymore. I'm a developer with 10 years coding and debugging experience but I can't find the solution. I had this problem before. Everything was running smoothly for months and one bad day the problem started. I could not find a solution till I gave up and reinstalled the whole system which took me about 3 days to get everything in place again. Again everything fine for about 3 months.
Not matter what I try - deleting prefs. Starting logic as a new user. Reinitializing everything. Doesn't help. Is there anybody out there who had that problem too? I don't want to reinstall everything again.
Cheers,
Daniel

I using a Line6 TonePort (I am a guitarist).
To make sure that its not the drive (though nothing changed there) I switched setting to internal audio - but that didn't change a thing.
And yes I tried the basics. I also disabled all plugins / AUs in the AU-Manager but I haven't tried to move them away. Give that a try this eve.
It's really strange. It doesn't matter wether it's a new empty project or any other that worked with no probs. Even if logic is stopped and there's no input monitoring: CPU load is flat and then every xyz secs boooom 100%. And its real because it actually interrupts the sound of my guitar or whatever.
I might have to dig deeper and see if I find any tracing tools which might provide more info..
Aaaaargh!
The only thing I actually might tried the first time yesterday evening which I haven't done before is a roland vdrum via midi to ultrabeat but how could that mess things up? I dunno ...

8520 Email-Not the usual

Well...almost not the usual. My 8520 has the Data Services and I've already gone to the Host Routing Table to register. Neither of these have prompted the add email account instead of the Enterprise option on the email set-up. Any other ideas?????

Are you trying to use the Setup Wizard? If so, don't use that. Look for the "Email Setup" or "Manage Internet Email" icon, usually located in the Settings folder.

IMac DV firmware trap- but not the usual symptoms, help?

ok, ok, I admit, I got nailed by the Firmware Trap on my friend's iMac DV 500, but I don't have the usual no-video and shutdown problems typical of the classic firmware issue. The iMac has video, and boots fine from Panther install disks, and does not shut itself down, but it won't install anything, and it won't complete booting from OS 9 install CD (it gets partway thru, but Finder won't load) or utility CDs (only goes as far as splash screen in TechToolPro OS9.2)
I knew about the update firmware issue, but since it already had OS X installed, I thought that it had the needed update, whose exact # I didn't remember and which looked correct to me in the System Profiler.. 4.1.7 (of course, now I remember, it's actually 4.1.9). The install did not give me any firmware warning, but the Panther install failed with massive errors (according to log). Eventually I read that OS10.1 could be (and was) installed and running without the update, as of course it would, having been released before the update... but that didn't occur to me at the time.
There is no working OS on the drive- I'd chosen to erase it first. Before I realized that firmware might be the issue, I (uh-oh) started it up from the Panther CD again, ran Disk Utility (which reported it "repaired" the HD)and (cringe) also booted from an OSX-based TechToolPro CD, which started up, then shut down/restarted when i tried to run tests, and would not reboot from that CD again. If it tries to start up from just the HD it comes to the blinking folder question mark screen... as it would, having no working system installed. Video seems completely normal.
I have tried an Open Firmware reset, pulled and reinstalled the RAM and backup battery, unplugged the HD, reset the logic board- nothing changed. The Sleep button trick won't work because it will not go to sleep, and it has video anyway.
My question... what, if anything, to try now?
I have video and start-up, but i can't get OS 9 to boot far enuf to install, which I need to do to be able to update the firmware. Should I pull the drive and install to it separately, then reinstall it and try to boot from it, or is this a waste of time (ie, does it sound like the logic board is already irretrievably whacked)? Any other ideas?
I tend macs for several friends and relatives who have them (non-profit!), and don't want it to get out that I inadvertently killed one!

I found these links for another topic thread. They have the technician's service manual for slot loader iMacs, in PDF format (both link to the same manual). There is a section in the manual on trouble-shooting, and it includes a section on the PMU reset procedure (pages 196 and 197).

Flash problem in IE - not the usual one.

I am new to the game here. I've created some pages that use a
Flash video player. The user can click on a list of available
videos (XML generated), and the video will load in the player and
play.
Works fine in IE and Safari on Mac.
Works terrible in Firefox on Mac and Windows (seems to need
to buffer for a long time before play starts - longer than the
specified buffer time).
In IE for Windows - videos play fine and load fast. but -
activating a video seems to "lock out" the rest of the page -
rendering the ability to click through to other links not possible.
Eventually, if i smash around enough, i can get a link to work -
but its a terrible experience. This doesn't seem to be the "usual"
Flash problem in IE (ie click to activate) - but I'm new - so this
may be a related issue?
Help??? I don't even know where to begin.

thank you in advance.

Try changing the line:
td { }
in your CSS file 'basic.css' to:
td { vertical-align: top; }
This will align all table cells on your web site to the top.

Acrobat Pro dead, Exit Code 5 (no, not the usual 30 Day thing!)

Hi,
I have the same issue as most people. I installed Acrobat Pro CS6 from the Creative Cloud with other Apps (Photoshop, Illustrator etc) and all is working except Acrobat. It has not stopped, no it NEVER worked.
What I do:
    Installed on 2 fresh installed machines with Win7 64bit Pro and Home Edition, Acro Pro never launched
    tried the whole thing about deactivate in other apps etc a hundred times exactly like said.
    Acrofix says Exit Code:5. I can´t find Info about that. Is somewhere a list of Exit Codes???
    Also tried to log in with other account. All Apps working, Acrobat not!
    renamed the cache.db to cache.old.db, nothing.
    Have no process in the taskmanager (acrobat.exe or something like that), not a second. Started as administrator or directly logged in as administrator user.
So...now I have no idea and here are only the usual "Deactivate in any other app etc"-suggestions.
But what is Exit Code:5 ????

Hi, thanks.
I let him update about the usual automatic update function. Now I also manually installed Adobe Acrobat 11.0.02 Pro Update manually but it is also not working.
I really don´t know what to do. Could this "Unable to initialize UI workflow." help us with this?

6233 restriction code - not the usual question

Hello I am wondering if anyone else out there has this problem. I bought three 6233 handsets, all "outright" with no restriction on the network. I'm using them on the Telstra network in Australia. Intermittantly - maybe once or twice a week - they all exhibit the same "Phone Restricted" - "Enter Restriction Code" error message. I turn them off and on, and it clears. Otherwise the phones work well. The people I bought them off say they're not locked (and I agree - they work well otherwise) and we've changed SIM cards eight times now. One of the handsets has been replaced and it still errors, and they all have version 4.52 firmware. I'm not asking for the restriction code, as the network operators deny that they're locked. I'm just wondering if anyone else has this problem. Thanks, John

Had the same problem with my 6280. This is currently locked to the 3 network and was bought as such. Took it back once and I got the usual response to 'intermittent' faults - poorly concealed disbelief and an offer of sending it off to a service centre for an indefinite period. I decided it would be easier to have to switch it off and on occassionaly.
As you own the phone outright you are in a slightly better position than me - I do not know Australian law at all, but I imagine that you have something similar to the UK Sale of Goods act, whereby the retailer is obliged to replace or repair the product if it is not fit for the purpose it was sold for, or give you a full refund. If it continues to fail to perform I would look into this.

Can't join CD tracks - no, not the usual problem

Help,
This is NOT the problem where the tracks are out of order so the Join CD Tracks is grayed out. It's a different problem.
I load audiobook CDs to play on my iPod - have been doing it for years.
I join the tracks so that each CD is only one entry in iTunes.
As of the last few days, when I try to join CD tracks, it says it's joining hundreds of tracks, and when I drag the joined tracks to my itunes folder it just chimes and refuses to copy.
In the past, the little drag icon would list the number of joined tracks (like 12), now it shows a number like 283. And it won't copy. I did a software update recently. Has something changed to this feature?
OSX 10.6.6
iTunes 10.2.1 (1)

Rebooted all macs to run off iTunes 9, a much better version of iTunes, and wouldn't you know, join tracks works just fine. Reinstalled 10.2 onto one of the computers and still get same software problem of joined tracks not importing. If you join the tracks in the middle of an album, and then import the entire album, only the tracks that fall after the joined tracks import and nothing else.
I suggest having a working version of iTunes like 9 on your computer for the joined tracks feature. I only use 10.2 now for uploading to ipad since apple is forcing paying customers to use that version for the ipad and other players because older more stable versions of itunes don't work with the new hardware. Choice is something that is disappearing with apple products. It's a shame.

IDVD crash *NOT the usual senario

I have researched this iDVD 08 crash. I am having the same problem that everyone else has been having except the solutions will not work for me. I have the "Themes" folder but not the "Installed Themes" folder. I tried dragging the themes folder to the trash, but this did not work. I am stumpped. Please give any advice. Thanks.

I have aready checked this link. But i do not have either of these:
~/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes and
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.idvd
The only thing that is like those that I have is "themes"

When I open TB the start page is not the usual. I lists Local Folders only. Nosend, tool or menu bars.

I do not have a normal opening page when I open TB. The only thing listed on the screen is a list of the Local Folders on the left of the screen with only 3 columns listed. Subject, From and Date. There is no address list, tool or menu bars, write, send, view etc. The change in the screen happened several weeks ago. I depressed some key and the screen changed from the normal to the one that shows only the local folder screen. I have not been able to answer any of my email or write any new ones. I have concluded that if there is no other option, other than uninstalling and reinstalling TB again please let me know. I have been without email for about 3 weeks now and that has to be fixed. I'd appreciate any help that you can give. I am not computer literate and technical language or program writers explanation are usually not easy for me to decipher so if there is no easy solution to my problem let me know and I will uninstall and reinstall the latest version. Thank you

I want to thank Grospen for the solution to my problem. I started TB in the safe mode as he suggested and followed his instructions and behold I got the original start page back. I still have to add a few things but because I now know that I can get back to to the factory default settings I won't hesitate to try some of the options that are available. Thanks to all for a job well done.

Using my ipod with multiple computers: not the usual problem I think

I've searched the forum and various help documents but I couldn't find the answer to this.
I have a laptop at the office (work-related, so I don't have any of my music on it, just itunes) and my computer at home. Ideally I'd like to:
= keep my ipod automatically synced to my home computer
= be able to connect my ipod to my work laptop and play the music stored on it through itunes there, and also keep it charged and ready for the trip home.
It seems that the 'manually manage music and videos' setting travels with the ipod, rather than being stored on the computer's itunes installation. If I set it at work, so I can play music there, when I connect the ipod at home I have to reset it (and a few times when I did so the ipod started deleting everything because 'sync my music' was not checked, grrr).
I just want to set things up in a way so that when I connect my ipod at work it will let me play whatever songs I have there (without wanting to sync anything), and when I connect it at home it will automatically update it. It's simple enough, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
If I connect the ipod at work and press 'cancel' when the 'do you want to erase things' pops up, it doesn't try to change the settings, but at the same time it doesn't let me play music at all, everything is greyed out
does anybody have any idea? I don't want to resort to have to buy a usb power adapter just so that I can play my ipod at work without draining the battery...

Could it be because its an iPhone and not a true iPod???
i doubt it.
actually, syncing an iPod Touch (or iPhone) with multiple computers is not recommended @ all. click here to find out what Apple has to say about it.
all i can think of, i you really must do that, is this:
to prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod - hold down the option and the command ( on a PC that would be the shift and ctrl ) keys when plugging in the ipod - keep pressing the keys until the iPod is listed under the devices list in iTunes. now you should be able to do what you want.
however, you do so @ your own peril, as the article above outlined.
alternatively, consider a setup such as this.
good luck !

How do i fix my sound? Not the usual issues...

Ok I think i've been having problems with my sound since i did the latest update but i'm not sure. There aren't that many apps on my ipad 1, no music nothing crazy. There is no sound when pressing the screen lock button, no keyboard clicks, no sound in apps like youtube, netflix, or embedded videos on safari. When i check the sound settings there is sound when i adjust the volume on the screen, and the side volume buttons do adjust the volume accordingly but when not in settings the volume buttons only bring up a notification with a speaker (volume) icon with no bar under it and it says "Sound Effects" above it.
Also, when i double tap the home button to get to the settings all the way to the left there is no volume control slide. The bar is missing the control. The speaker button is NOT muted but i've tried turning it off and on to no avail.
Here are the things i've tried but have made no difference:
1. Home and lock reset.
2. Settings "reset all settings"
3. Backup and full restore
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Use Slide Switch to > Mute BUT the switch is not orange. I've tried changing these settings several times in all different combinations; no change.
Keyboard Clicks and the rest are all set to ON. I've turned them off and on several times; no change.
Double tap home button: I see where the volume adjustment should be but there is no slide to be able to change the volume there.
Actually i figured it out, so random: Next to the volume is the AirPlay button. It was set to Dock Connector rather than Apple TV. When i changed it, the volume came back. How odd, i don't recall ever changing that setting. Seems like everything else is peachy.
Thanks!

The boot selection failed because a device is inaccessible, not the usual boot error though?? (0xc000000e)

Hey,
I need some help fast please. I recently booted up my gaming rig after swapping out a 7970 graphics card and upon system boot up, as the windows 7 logo appeared the system crashes and a BSOD appears for a split millisecond and I'm asked to start up repair windows
or start windows normally however when I click start up repair a black error screen appears with the following message and error: The boot selection failed because a device is inaccessible error state and an error code:0xc000000e. Now of fixed this before
multiple times except this instance nothing seems to work Ive tried the following:
- check for any unplugged or loose cables
- Re installed my ram
- Booted with on board graphics
- unplugged all usb devices and external devices with the exception of the keyboard and mouse
- Booted with system installation disc and attempted system repair several times only with the same outcome of wanting to restore from a previous system restoration point however it always fails
- changed the boot type to IDE which made the system boot furhter past the logo screen however it still crashes with the same error
- From the system installation disc I ran a chkdsk /f and no corruptions or bad sectors were found
However, I did run from the installation disc a "bcdedit" and my osdevice was unkown and my boot manager and boot loader were set to two different drives on being D: and the other being C:. So I re-linked all three back to the D: drive as the
windows installation disc says thats where Windows 7 is installed, although in the actual windows 7 My Computer its listed as C: drive which is weird? anyways after re-linking them using bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=D: and the other two commands
my recovery partition disappeared which was listed as C:, and now I can only see my local drive? That did not fix the error so I tried one last thing and ran another chkdsk D: /f /r which is taking for ages and I'm assuming my hard drive and its contents
are still intact ( thank god!!) because its taking so long and there are 612080 files to be processed!
I thought I might try and rebuild Master Boot Record?
I don't want to loose any of my data, well I hope I haven't lost any because I have over 150+ games and their saves :(
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated :D
thanks guys!

Hi,
Repair the current OS using the Windows 2008 / 7 DVD:
Boot to the Windows DVD
Select Next > Repair your computer
Select Next > Command Prompt
Change directory (cd) to x:\Sources\recovery
then type Startrep.exe to launch a quick automated startup repair utility which corrects boot environment values. This step may require more than one attempt and should be repeated a couple of times if the first repair fails.
If step 3 fails, open the command prompt and type bcdedit This
will display the values for Windows Boot Manager.
Review the values for Device. Is it set to unknown, as shown below? If so, proceed to step 7.
At the command prompt, type the following commands (c: is the default system partition. If your original partition was another drive letter, this value can be set to that drive letter):
bcdedit
/set {DEFAULT.EN_US} device partition=c:
(press enter)
bcdedit
/set {DEFAULT.EN_US} osdevice partition=c:
(press enter)
bcdedit
/set {BOOTMGR.EN_US} device partition=c:
(press enter)
Reboot the system after removing the OS disk.
Hope it helps,
Jan
