Novice with a flashplayer problem
When I try to dowenload Flash Player on my wireless laptop
through internet explorer, it prompts me to 'agree and install'.
When I do this it then says a message box will appear and a video
but it doesn't. This is stoppping me doing loads of stuff on my
laptop. I'm a complete novice when it comes to anything technical
so any advice would be good.
Thanks Della
Assuming that the files you get from that service are actually legit mp3 files and not some sort of proprietary protected format, you can click File -> Add Folder to Library, and just browse to the folder on your harddrive the files are being stored in, select it and hit okay. The files should then appear in your library and then on your iPod once you sync it.

Help needed!! Novice with Garbage Collection problems.
Hi Guys,
Really hoping somebody can help me here. I am a relative novice when it comes to all things Java but i am slowly trying to learn. I have come across an issue which i have identified but i am just not sure what to do about it.
Ok, in a nut shell the issue seems to be revolving around the frequency of garbage collection. From the default-err.log file i am seeing (on average) an Allocation Failure occur every 2 secs. Here is a sample from the log with verbose:gc active:
<AF[4986]: Allocation Failure. need 208480 bytes, 78 ms since last AF>
<AF[4986]: managing allocation failure, action=2 (559165976/1342176248)>
<GC: Mon Oct 11 11:51:12 2004
<GC(4986): freed 4101528 bytes in 1559 ms, 41% free (563267504/1342176248)>
<GC(4986): mark: 1301 ms, sweep: 258 ms, compact: 0 ms>
<GC(4986): refs: soft 0 (age >= 32), weak 0, final 0, phantom 0>
<AF[4986]: completed in 1563 ms>
<AF[4987]: Allocation Failure. need 208536 bytes, 78 ms since last AF>
<AF[4987]: managing allocation failure, action=2 (559138336/1342176248)>
<GC: Mon Oct 11 11:51:14 2004
<GC(4987): freed 4105128 bytes in 1563 ms, 41% free (563243464/1342176248)>
<GC(4987): mark: 1293 ms, sweep: 270 ms, compact: 0 ms>
<GC(4987): refs: soft 0 (age >= 32), weak 0, final 0, phantom 0>
<AF[4987]: completed in 1563 ms>
As you can see, allocation failures are occuring all the time, and with 2secs between events, and each GC taking around 1.5secs, i am having massive problems with the response of the server. It seems that the javaw.exe process is just pegged at 100% CPU the whole time and then it will eventually grind to a halt, and the users will get terrible response times.
OK, the questions are:
- Even to me (a novice) the above extract from the log doesnt look good. Am i right?
- what would be causing this? (i know - how long is a peice of string but i am hoping somebody can point me in the right direction so i can look some more)
- what can i do about it? Is there any parameters i can put into the java args to help me out?
Currently i am running -Xms of 128meg and an -Xmx of 1024m with no other settings. There are at the moment about 200users logged onto this server concurrently, and it seems to die a couple of hours into them all being logged on. I then have to kick everybody out and reboot to get it in a working state again.
I am in some serious need of help from some gurus!! any help would be invaluable, thanks heaps guys.
TimHi Again guys, thanks for all your replies.
I have been working my butt of on this issue and i just cant seem to get anywhere... probably due to my complete lack of knowledge on this whole GC thing! :)
One thing that i have noticed that seems to be very consistant is the fact that as soon as i get an "action=2" in my default-err.log from an allocation failure, thats when the system goes nuts and tends to not recover.
At all other times it is an action=1, and the system seems to be running OK, but as soon as i get action=2, the time between GC events drop from seconds to miliseconds, and the bytes required just skyrockets. It keeps on this upward spiral till i just have to reboot the box.
From all my reading, i have found that an action=2 means "2 - The Garbage Collector has tried to allocate out of the wilderness, and failed."
This is the only item in the logs that i see is directly related to the server performance.
Can anybody please explain to me (in laymans terms) what the action=2 means, what may cause it and what i should be looking at changing to fix it?
The extract from the log files (in my first post in this thread) are still valid, as are the min/max memory settings.
Any help at all would be invaluable.
Thanks very much.

My iPad does not find the printer. I have tried the HP app and it works, but in any other app the printer is not seen. How do I get this printer visible to the iPad. All my other network computers find and print with out a problem.

I have an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes.
All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem. The movie in question is not 'corrupt' as you can watch it in iMovie direct from the SD card but as soon as you try to import it, it just says 'error'. iIve tried moving the file to an external drive ( and other variations on this theme) then importing but have had no luck.
Can anyone please help me.The mystery remains....
Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
Thanks -

Can someone help me with an iCloud problem when I take a picture with my iPhone 4s it some of the times go to my ipad2 but mostly it doesn't can anyone help me out
I'm assuming you have Photo Stream set up of both devices. However, it seems many users are experiencing the same as you - my take is that streaming photos is not foolproof yet.

I have a Windows 8.1 and it's even running slow. I'm a complete novice with computers (I've only had this one for 3 weeks) and I'm probably doing something wrong, but I haven't a clue what.
The tools are not responding when I try to use them. Some of them work sometimes, but not others and some don't work at all. I'm in a design class online and I need these tools desperately. I have an assignment due Monday and I'm losing the whole weekend because Tech Support is only open M-F!
Any help anyone can give me will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Am I the only one with these various problems...??
Hi all,
I start my first post and introduction ever on this forum with a imposing problem with Aperture 3.03
I just did the upgrade to Aperture 3 & 3.03. Coming off Aperture 2, I was able to rotate, crop and do all the things I wanted by just placing the pointer while clicking, holding, and moving all at the same time with no issues. With Aperture 3.03, no such luck. I've noticed that now if I want to rotate an image or even crop an image the first effort to move anything is ignored. It shows all the signs of being ready to move something, but nothing happens, nothing moves on first try. If I stop the click and place click the second time it is responsive as usual....What gives???
Here is another issue. Cropping is all over the place and never right on the first try. Even if I have a set aspect ratio it does not provide me with the one I selected. I'm always getting the wrong aspect ratio even though the right one is selected. If I pick "Master Aspect Ratio", I get a variable ratio instead of a fixed ratio??? If I click again it changes again. This program is not stable!!
One other thing has anyone noticed that you cannot use the arrow keys to move from one picture to another after editing the photo?? It is happening to me. If I complete an edit and want to move to the next photo, the program will not respond to key commands in any way. I'm forced to return to Browser mode and even then it seems hit or miss whether is responds to key commands again. navigating seems to be a big impediment when actively editing.
So, am I the only one with these problems???
Lets hear your story...
Note: just installed the newest stability update for Snow Leopard/Aperture 3 just made available on August 18, 2010. No change...
Steve,
Bethlehem, Pa.
Message was edited by: hdskullfire2I don't see any of these issues! You have listed several, disconnected issues. Perhaps you should pick one of them, and give us a blow-by-blow of your action steps.
For rotation, click that button at the bottom of the View window, and then use one of the [ or ] bracket keys as listed for direction.

Another New IPod Touch Owner with Wi-fi Problems
Another New IPod Touch Owner with Wi-fi Problems.
I have been working at this for about 4 hours now with no success and I am getting pretty frustrated, so if it show up in my typing please ignore it. I just don't understand why these multi-million dollar companies can't write a manual or put up a web site that can actually help someone with a problem.
Ok, venting aside.
I am running a gateway computer.
Operating System = XP
Router = Linksys WRT54G
I have two other computers that are working fine with the existing wireless net work and have been for some time.
I'm pretty good with my computer but haven't touched my router since initial set-up and all that was done was a basic set up.
My I-pod is searching for a network and I'm three feet away from it but it doesn't find it.
I printed out my wireless setting. I presume SSID name equals the name box on the ipod-touch
Security = WEP
What seems to be kicking my A$$ is the password. The route setting have never been changed so I would pesume the password should be the default "admin" which I put in (JOIN) and get the "Could not find network" screen
So, I have perused this message board trying to discover and answer to mine, and and apparently many others question with no definitive results.
So I guess what I and everybody else needs is a step by step how to guide on how to discover the info needed and enter in what we need to make this work.
Thanks in advance to anybody that can actually help with this issue. A step by step do this would be nice.Thank you Terpfen for replying, and please excuse my ill temper earlier. I've calmed down some now.
Step: 1 followed step one previously, Main screen, settings, Wi-Fi. Also set power down to 5 min to give I-Pod plenty of time to find network.
Wi-Fi Network Screen.
Wi-Fi ON
Choose a Network (searching indicator) symbol spinning.
Other ...
Ask to Join Networks ON
At this point the I-pod does not find any networks available. The indicator just spins but never returns any results. I am 3 feet for my WRT54G router.
Hence the easy connect isn't connecting.
The next step. is to manually set-up the connection.
Main screen, setting, Wi-Fi, Other.
press "Other" which brings up two fields
Name __________
Security ___________
First Question? Which Name are they looking for. when I went to my router 192.168.1.1 It has the name linksys. However, when I go to my Wireless Network setting it has the name * ???? * which is different than Linksys router.
Now, since one of the goals here is file sharing I presume I should be using the Wireless Network settings name. (which I have tried.)
Next is security, Wireless Network setting indicate setting for WEP Once this is selected you then back-up to the "Enter Network Setting Screen" and you now have a password line added.
Now I have never set a password for the router so the password for the router is the default Password "admin" And I don't recall ever setting a password for my network setting. But, I only use about three different passwords and a cycled through them still with no success.
So, I need some expert advise on how and where to find the info to input into the required field to work or what I need to reset in my router to make this work.
Thanks again for anyone who has constructive input to resolve my and probably many other peoples issues with this problem. -
I have a Apple imax only about 9 months old. I need a new printer. I am looking at a Canon MX926 PIXMA. Do I have Airprint or do I need to purchase it? I am a novice with Apple and any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your iMac is only 9 months old, it probably comes with OS X Mountain Lion, and it includes AirPrint, so you do not need to purchase anything else apart from the printer (which is compatible with AirPrint).
Once you have purchased the printer, you need to follow the steps of the manufacturer. To add the printer to OS X, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670 -
2014 .3 is much too buggy and full of error messages. Creating problems as I am on a timeline with my client and I don't have time to fool around with all the problems.
You didn't mention what error(s) you've encountered? A workaround for the most commonly hit problem is here Re: error in Muse : Object UID:U6875 has two (or more) owners: U3633 and U3165
If you have a copy of your .muse file that has not been saved using 2014.3, you can downgrade by uninstalling Muse and then choose Previous Version in the Filters drop down in the Apps panel of the Creative Cloud desktop app. There will be a popup next to Muse where you can select a prior version to install. -
