[Openbox] Something's fishy with window naming (WM_NAME)
Hi,
I've experienced that there seems to be something wrong with WM_NAME variable in openbox on some systems.
On my laptop the name e.g. urxvtq (urxvtc started with -name urxvtq) is set in this variable which can be checked using xprop click on application.
But some other systems there is saved the path of the urxvtc in this variable e.g. /scripts/.
This different behavior breaks some of my scripts which are using WM_NAME.
I have the same behavior with Creative DVD-ROM, hal recognize it as DVD6240E. Long time to mount and practically the same error messages:
sr 0:0:1:0: [sr0] ASC=0x11 ASCQ=0x0
end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 9180152
Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 2295038
Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 2295039

Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 2295038
Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 2295039
It can mount DVD disk finallly, but it takes 3-5 minutes or even more. I have tried to find something in internet without luck.

Canon MG6220 wierd zooming/cropping printing problem, only when printing with Windows XP?
The printer in question is a Canon Pixma MG6220, connected to a WindowsXP printer. I've printed this same document on a Brother laser printer, that is connected to the same computer, and it prints correctly. I've printed this same document on a Epson inkjet printer, and it prints correctly. I've printed this same document at Staples, on one of their big laser printers, and it prints correctly. So, this printing problem is only occurring with this Canon printer. One other thing that may help you with this, is that last night I moved this Canon printer to another computer, except this one had Windows 7 on it, and it printed flawlessly! So, it seems that it may have something to do with Windows XP printer driver.
I'm printing a one page document from Word 2002 which consists of about 10 pictures, no text. All the pictures on the page are the same height but a different width. When I print the document, some of the pictures print correctly and some of them do not.
Essentially, what is happening is that some pictures are zoomed in about 50%, yet still print in the same area that is set in the document. So, the image looks like it has been rudely cropped.
The oddest thing is that this only happens to some of the pictures. There is nothing special about these pictures. The pictures that print correctly are from the same source as the ones that don't print correctly. I’ve done other Word documents like this, with the same format but different pictures, and they printed wrong too, some pictures correct and some zoomed/cropped.
Here is a summary of the pictures from the files I attached, and which ones printed correctly, and which did not: The first one is a screen capture of the Word document, and the other is a scan of the printed document.
Row 1
Pic 1 – error (zoomed/cropped), Pic 2 – error, Pic 3 – correct, Pic 4 – error
Row 2
Pic 1 – correct, Pic 2 – correct, Pic 3 – correct
Row 3
Pic 1 – error, Pic 2 – error, Pic 3 – correct, Pic 4 – error
Row 4
Pic 1 – error, Pic 2 – error, Pic 3 – correct
One observation of the incorrectly printed pictures, is that the upper left corners appear unaffected. It is the lower right corners that get the weird zooming/cropping effect.Urgently restore a backup of the registry.
Urgently do not use the word 'urgently' in a forum of volunteers.
Also it can not be urgent, as Forms 4.5 dates from the Flintstone age, and probably isn't even certified on XP.
However, the error message is very clear: Apparently Forms 4.5 uses the registry to store printer info: you need to get that entry back. That kind of info is usually documented. Documentation is likely still online.

New Dell pc with windows 7 and won't download itunes
I just got a new Dell pc with windows professional 7 os and not able to download itunes. Every time, I click download, nothing happens, nothing is downloading. Did all the windows updates and checked my security software to see it was blocking it. Is there something not computable with windows 7? Or is there something else that I need to download first? Don't have much software on the pc yet. Even tried connecting my iphone to pc and didn't bring up itunes either.
There is some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded. As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads - like the previous 12.1.0.77 release, there are three different installers available, with direct links to these as follows:
iTunes 12.1.1.4 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
iTunes 12.1.1.4 (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
iTunes 12.1.1.4 (64-bit "for older video cards") - iTunes64Setup.exe
The third of these - which is actually the 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer, should be used if you get a warning about video card incompatibility when you install the standard 64-bit version. Based on evidence of the previous release, this may also be an appropriate alternative if you have playback issues or crashes with the standard 64-bit version.
See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation. -
Elements 5 with Windows 8 problems
I just got a new Windows 8 computer from an old XP. I had Elements 5, and it was reinstalled along with my canon camera. I know next to nothing about all this and have my brother do it. I have not been able to get my Elements to work like it did on the Windows XP. When I used to plug my camera in, the Elements downloader would open and connect with the camera. Now I cannot get that to happen even though I see the camera in the drop down list. I have tried for a week to get it to get photos from the camera. Instead, another program from the camera gets them. I don't understand anything else, so want the Elements to work like it used to. So I went into the menu and tried many times to click on "Check of Updates" just like my guide said to do. But I can't get the update button to even work. Nothing happens if I click all day on it! So I am stuck. Is this problem with Elements working and not being able to update it have something to do with Windows 8? Will I have to just get it uninstalled? Using the My Pictures to do all this was always too complicated for someone like me!
The update command in PSE 5 never did anything, as far as I know.
Please download the PSE 5.0.2 patch and install that, and see if the problem goes away. If that doesn't work ...
Will I have to just get it uninstalled? Using the My Pictures to do all this was always too complicated for someone like me!
I don't think uninstalling would fix the problem. I think you are going to have to learn a new way of doing things. -
Run diadem and Script automatically with windows
It would be possible to give an exe or something like that, with windows and after execute this, DIAdem automatically run and when Diadem opened, run my script also automatically??
Thank you
SaraHi Sara,
You can absolutely run the DIAdem exe automatically from Windows, for example, as a startup executable, Windows Scheduled Task, or batch file.
Using DIAdem, if you want to automatically run a SCRIPT when the application opens, use the Start Script option under Settings » Options » General » Start Script.
If you want your users not to see DIAdem executing, there are a couple of approaches you could take, depending on your desired behavior and comfort with programming. For example, you could:
Call DIAdem programmatically using ActiveX from another language like LabVIEW and choose to hide the environment when running, or
Have DIAdem SCRIPT run a SUD dialog that masks the DIAdem screen and reports a simpler version of information updates to your user, or
Use DIAdem's customization abilities to programmatically hide all Panels and Toolbars, or
Use your script to programmatically switch the screen mode in DIAdem (try pressing Ctrl+U interactively!) while your script is executing.
Good luck!

Something is up with my computer (3 Problems)
I don't know what happened but something is fishy with my computer. I am running 10.4.4 and had the problems prior to the update. So here's what is wrong;
1. Spotlight doesn't work, no matter what you search for your greeted with a spinning beachball that spins for a very long time untill "no results found" appears.
2. Any program you are in, going to file> open. Hits you with a spinning beach ball untill you have to force quit the program. (launching documents from the finder works fine)
3. I don't know if this is a cpu or ISP problem but my internet connection stops working at random times. The problem can be fixed by changing one thing in network settings, changing it back to the way it was and hitting apply.
If anyone has any clue on how to fix these that would be greatly appreciated. I have tried numerous virus scans, and repairing disk permissions with no succes. ThanksJust a word of caution. I talked to Apple Support today about our ongoing problems with AppleWorks 6.0.4 not running properly in Classic 9.2 and in 10.4.4 and apparent non compatibility transferring files between systems, spell check. Macpaint, etc. He noted that we are using an iMac G3, 400 mghtz and said that Tiger OSX 10.4.4 requires a 600 mghtz system. Option may be to abandon Tiger & go back to Classic 9.2 .(The OSX shipping box requirement list does not make any reference to a G3 400 not working with OSX?). Does that mean one could expect other incompatible problems if you continue to try use a G3 400mghtz with other applications?
Was linked thru to Apple Products specialist in Sacramento next. He was very helpful in guiding me thru the process to search the hard drive for all the missing AppleWorks documents.
Installing Appleworks 6.2.9 updater did not help.
Next step is to have a local Mac-savvy friend in later next week to see if he can sort this out. -
my ipod classic is visible in windows but not in itunes, this happens on 2 different computers where my iphone and ipod touch work fine which leads me to think something is up with the ipod itself and i cant find any threads to help.
any thoughts anyone??Perhaps the reason you haven't had any replies is because there is no such thing as an 8GB iPod Classic.
I suggest that you begin by correctly identifying which iPod you have.

I have an ipod nano 7th generation and can not get it recognised by my Windows 8.1 laptop (it appears briefly on My computer, then disappears). This happened after I updated iTunes to the latest version. Does that have something to do with it?

2011 MacBook Pro, 64 bit i7 quad core, upgraded to Lion OSx, Bootcamp installed with Windows 7, wanting to install Windows 8 (don't ask), tried downloading/installing bootcamp 5.0.5033 (both on the mac/windows partitions (actually using a parallel to run Windows)), error message something similar to bootcamp doesn't support this Windows
So the question is am I doing something wrong? Should I just try and install windows 8 through my windows 7 partition and see if I can use the bootcamp 5.05033. Or do I solely have to use the bootcamp to install Windows 8? I'm not too familiar with bootcamp and how it runs.if you're using parallels and full bootcamp then you're making it 100% more troublesome for youself then it needs to be
bootcamp is running windows directly on the hardware this give full memory and cpu and 3d video game power
running windows in parallels is running a virtual machine where one can't run powerful games and the like but one can have it in a window and change fast between osx and windows
parallels as the only virutal machine (as far as I know) support not have the operating system as a file on the osx harddisk but can access a bootcamp parition as virtual machine but without the benefits bootcamps provides
it's a service parallels provide for those who want both to play games in normal bootcamp and sometimes use windows in a virutal machine
just install it like a normal virtual machine and you need not worry about bootcamp drivers and the likes
plus it would mean that the windows part would be a part of the timemachine bacup of osx
which it is not when it's in bootcamp -
I have photoshop CS 4 extended. Just recently I purchased a Canon 70D as well as a Dell 17 Inspiron with windows 7. When I download my pictures from my camera to the computer, they will not open up in raw, only jpeg. I contacted Canon, and they told my to try something but it did not work. How do I get my raw pictures to open up in CS 4 on my new computer from my new Canon 70D?
You will never be able to open your raw files from your new camera in CS4.
You need version 8.7.1 of the Camera Raw plug-in (ACR), which only runs in CS6 and higher.
You need to locate, download, install and run the free, stand-alone application Adobe DNG Converter on each batch of raw files from that camera, in order to convert them to raw DNG files that can be subsequently opened by ACR in CS4.
Remember you need to launch and run the DNG Converter on each folder (not files) containing your Canon raw files. THe DNG Converter doesn't do it magically for you just sitting on your HD.
Or you can upgrade. -
hi can somebody help me... itunes does not accept the iphone 4s but i already have the version 64 bit to work with windows 7 64 bit, the computer recognizes the phone but itunes sais i need 64 bit itunes. please is there something im missing... thanks
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
I've lost my itunes icon from my desktop and can't see it anywhere else. I have recently upgraded to windows 9 and thought maybe this had something to do with it. Can anyone help please?
Has iTunes been uninstalled or removed from you system?
Is it no longer in the Start Menu or in Control Panel?
What exactly was downloaded and installed? There is no Windows 9, so it's not possible that it is installed on your computer. -

Problem with windows not liking any files named prn
I recently found a problem with windows not liking any files
called prn.html, prn.cfm etc etc. If you try and create a file like
prn.html then it will say "File already exists".
I initially thought it was a Cold Fusion error as I was
getting some bizarre error messages when trying to write prn.html
using cffile.
Does anyone know a work around for it?Hi,
Not only "prn" but also for the terms like "AUX", "NUL" you
can't create any directories or files in Windows because these are
reserved terms with Windows which is meant for some device
drivers...
