Possible Fix for 8i Patch installs (redhat)

After doing a couple of reinstalls and trying to get the
81501 patch to work, I decided to wipe the entire product
directory and start fresh. The patch then installed without
a single problem and everything relinked w/o errors.
I had noticed earlier, but ignored, that the uninstaller
doesn't really clean up after patching and other stray files.
I think this may have caused problems with subsequent
attempts.
Hope this helps someone.

That's not true ...if you read instructions carefully ...u
should open it up in a fresh folder ...because the patch checks
itself if it
has 37 files as it blows up...With the other subfolders or
files running around it adds up to the count and stops your
installation

Possible Fix for Printing Problems in Leopard

I got this information from Mac OS X Leopard Edition book by David Pogue. Here's his possible fix for printing problems in Leopard...Open web browser and enter this address http://127.0.0.1:631. You'll find youself at a secret "front end" for CUPS (Common UNIX Printer System), the underlying printing technology for Mac OS X 10.5. This trick lets your Mac communicate with a huge array of older printers that dopn't yet have Mac OS X drivers. Using this administration screen, you can print a test page, stop your printer in its tracks, manage your networked printers and print jobs, and more–a very slick trick. Haven't tried it yet...anyone who does let me know how it worked!

If you literally "checked" them, meaning the checkboxes, that only affects their visibility. To remove them, select one and then click on the "minus" part of the "plus minus" at lower left.

Possible fix for errors 11503 and 50

Here's a possible fix for Error 11503 and for error 50.
It worked for me and hopefully it will work for you.
I believe this error is caused by the incomplete downloading of either an update to an app. In my case it was caused by closing the lid on my laptop when I was downloading app updates on a very slow internet connection in a hotel.
Anyway, here is what I did that fixed it completely.
Close iTunes.
Go to this folder : /iTunes/Mobile Applications/Downloads
You'll find tmp files there. Drag them out of this folder to a temporary folder on your desktop. The Downloads folder should now be empty.
Restart iTunes.
All should be fine.
If it is, delete the desktop folder with all the temp files.
If it's not, then I can't help further, but that's what worked for me.

Several possible causes from the info you gave
Battery level low - recharge it for at least 4 hours till the full charge sign displays (2 prong icon instead of lightning icon).
Time to Reset the iPod - Press the Menu and center Button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then let go of the buttons.
your hardisk is starting to give problems, hence the skipping and some song refuse to play. - Do a disk diagnostic - follow this post by tt2.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17028567#17028567
If you have updated any sofware application in Windows, then follow this Apple support procedure
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539
Most likely you have to do all, as the iPod hardisk filesystem would have been corrupted, or else the iPod Reset would bring it to normal operation.
Good Luck!

Possible fix for OS X 10.5.7, losing connection after sleep, restart

Possible fix for OS X 10.5.7, Airport, losing connection after sleep, restart, or cold reboot.
Issue: (For OS X 10.5.7 on iMac5,1, Intel Core 2 Duo)
=============================================

- Losing Internet connection after sleep, restart, cold reboot.
Possible Fix:
1.Open Network Preference, click on the Location drop down list > Edit Location... > click on the wheel button > Duplicate Location.
a)Select this newly setup location; Use Diagnostic button to connect to the internet. Select Network or enter WEP password if necessary.
b)Test to make sure you can connect to a web page.
c)Go to sleep & wake up.
d)This time, the Airport bar will start to show correctly. Before, it will always be full even when not connected. Now there will be no bars or grey out when not connected.
2.On the left hand side of the Network Preference Window, there is a list of services, such as Airport, build-in ethernet, built-in FireWire, bluetooth, etc.
a)Click on the wheel button on the bottom of the service list; select Set Service Order...; move Airport to the top of the list.
b)Delete any services which you are sure that you are not going to use, such as Bluetooth, etc.

a)Check to make sure you can connect to a web page.
4.Go to sleep & wake up. The Airport bar should be filled up quickly. Try to connect to a web page.
5.Restart computer. Test a web page.
6.Shut down & Start computer. Test a web page.
7.When everything is working fine, you can delete the extra location that you created in step #1.
8.Click the lock on the left lower corner of the Network Preference window to safeguard the setting.

If my assessment is correct, the LIDE 200 driver is version 14.8.1 and dated 26-Sep-2008. It is possible that the driver will not work with the latest version of OSX. I would advise that you contact Canon and ask them the question.
(Removed link because of the way Flash drives the Canon site).
It is not uncommon (though irritating) that devices no longer work when an OS is upgraded. One has to ask the question if (or why) the driver was not written in such a way as to be OS version independent.
Chris
I spoke to Canon over here in Australia. Not helpful at all. In fact they were about as useful as an ashtray on on motorcycle. Having said that the tech seemed to think that there would be an update soon. But that is assuming that Canon are aware that there is a problem with that Scanner under OS X 10.5.7.

Wireless Problems: Observations/Possible Fix for Some (No Guarantees)

Hi All:
I have been following our wireless problem threads. To a large extent, they revolve around lost connections, weak signals, etc. On my machine, I previously noticed what appeared to be wide fluctuations in signal strength, although I could almost always pick up one distant network that has to be at least 125' away regardless of my apparent signal strength. Also, I never lost my connection. I also have noticed that my Windows notebooks pick up more networks than my MBP, even though some must be farther away than 125'.
Recently, I had to reinstall all my software. Once resolved I'll explain why and what to look out for. Anyway, before the reinstall, I had done all updates. When I reinstalled, I also did all updates. The bottom line is that I have not seen the wide fluctuations in signal strength since reinstalling. Sometimes I see more networks than I am used to seeing.
Am I suggesting that you reinstall to eliminate the types of problems mentioned above? Definitely not especially if your problem is pretty minor. However, if your problem is significant, then think about it. Perhaps a greater than expected number of partially bad factory installs accounts for some of our problems.
I finished my reinstall only about 24 hours ago. I'll continue to monitor and will post back if I begin to see the wide signal strength fluctuations again.

Nope, thanks. I certainly advocate all trying any possible fixes prior to taking the drastic step of reinstalling. Hope the update works for all. I must of installed it yesterday with a number of other updates. Thus, it wasn't what "fixed" my system. But, it looks like it didn't hurt it either. Both are good to know:) Gosh, and looking at some of the recent posts in this category, I am glad that none of the recent updates hosed anything on my machine. Then, I'd me reinstalling again and being more selective about the updates.
I have to admit I have been throwing caution to the wind on doing all the updates. I think I'd better go back to my old style of seeing if there are update rumblings before I install them.

Possible fix for unable to eject ipod, files are in use by another program

If you get the above message and are using itunes 7, this may be a possible fix. Open itunes and connect your ipod. When you get the main screen, uncheck the box "open itunes when this ipod is connected" and then click apply in the lower right of the screen. After your ipod has finished updating (top of itunes says update complete) you must eject the ipod using the safely remove hardware from your tray in the taskbar. Unplug you ipod, close itunes. Now, open itunes and connect your ipod. After it updates, you should safely remove the ipod. Good luck.
pc Windows XP Pro

Easy way. Reset the iPod, then disconnect when you see the Apple logo.
Another way. Hold ctr-alt-del to bring up the Windows Task Manager. Go to the Processes tab and look for iTunesHelper.exe and iPodService.exe. Select them and hit the End Process button. Close the Windows Task Manager Window and try ejecting the iPod via the safely remove hardware method.
  If you are still having problems you can try one more thing. Right click on the My Computer icon and select Manage from the list of actions. Go to the Services and Applications item and from there the services item. Double click on the services item to bring up the list of services currently installed on your computer. Look for the iPod Service and double click on it. From the new window select Stop. Now try again to eject using the safely remove hardware option.
  If all else fails shut down the computer and disconnect the iPod.

Is there any fix for the flashplayer installer not working on a windows 7, 64-bit, using firefox?

I Hit the download link, get the permission windows, and the flashplayer installer window comes up, but doesn't do anything. i left it up all day when i went to work, come home 12 hours later and it was still just sitting there not installing. Is there a fix for this? i have looked everywhere and nothing that i have found has worked. even the suggestions on the adobe help page doesn't work..

And you used the offline installers from the link that Andy posted:
Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI
If yes, please post the contents of the FlashInstall.log file in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash

HT1222 What's the fix for the Flashback Installer virus?

I am infected with the fake Flashback Adobe installer. I deleted everything associated with it, ran my Intego Virus Barrier 6, installed the authentic Adobe Flashback and changed my email password in my Mac mail and in the mail program from my ISP but the viral emails keep on coming.
When will there be a fix for this?

Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan and Virus Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
A link to a great User Tip about the trojan: Flashback Trojan User Tip.
To check for the trojan: Anti Flashback Trojan 2.0.4.
A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started. Or the preferred method is to use Apple's protection tool: Flashback Malware Removal Tool 1.0.
Or, open Software Update. If you do not have the Apple protection software installed it will download and install it via Software Update. If no update appears that means you either already have it installed or it isn't needed for your system. The software is only available for Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion versions of OS X.
Also see Apple's article About Flashback malware.
For general anti-virus protection I only recommend using ClamXav.

A possible fix for adobe reader icons on windows 2000 with SP4

*This is not a problem! I am posting here because I have received help from some other part of this problem and I have read in other places where people have problems with making the pdf icon appear.*
If the icons won't show after installing adobe reader 9 on your computer, then there is a possible fix you guys can try. Right click on 'Start' for explorer or click on 'My Computer'.
Click Tools > Folder Options > File Types (tab)
Try to find the pdf extension in that long list of extensions.
Below the 'Change...' button, it should read 'Restore' (i'm not sure about this). Click on it once so that it should now read 'Advanced'.
The restore function is to restore the icons to those files which have lost their identities, so to speak.

No issues when setting back as per you instruction below.
Thank you very much.
Why would I have such an experience in the first place?
Rgds,
Dave

Here's the FIX for one quicktime installation error

Can't believe this isn't mentioned in here anywhere or in any of the threads on the Web. I got help from the Ubergeeks on the Well, where I should have started in the first place.
If you can't install because Quicktime won't install (error -3, error 1402 etc.) and you can't get permissions to enter the registry keys...
Run: regedit
navigate to the folder mentioned in the error message. For me it was HKEYLocalMachine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Quicktime
This seems to be the most often-cited culprit.
Right-click on the Quicktime folder. Select Permissions. Hit Advanced. Click the "Owner" tab. Click on yourself in the lower window. Hit OK.
Install your software and enjoy.
This may not fix everyone's problems, but I bet it fixes the vast majority of those that are similar to the one I had, which I spend hours and hours trying to fix before I simply asked someone who knew what they were doing.
Maybe if the folks at Apple see this, they can, you know, add it to their troubleshooting guide. It's a very common problem.

In case anyone is reading this thread, I found a fix for this problem. In another discussion thread, a nice person referenced an article at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93865 that explains what to do with these kinds of permission errors (1402 and 1406). I followed the instructions and also made the changes to the specific line item I had a problem with. Installation ran successfully although there were a couple of error messages about not being able to unregister a couple of .dlls, which apparently is not fatal to the installation.

Possible Fix for the 3.1.1 app crash problem

THIS IS A POSSIBLE FIX ONLY!!!
So like many of you I upgraded to 3.1.1 and after the update all of my apps would no longer work. They contiually crashed to the home screen when I tried to open them. I tried downloading random new apps, deleting all my apps and re-installing them with no luck. I tried reseting the iPod and even restoring it through iTunes. I also tried de-authorizing and re-authorizing my computer. None of these things worked for me. Today I tried to go back to the 2.2.1 update (which is the only one I could find that would download) when I tried to upload that onto my iPod I got an error #20 so I ended up restoring back to 3.1.1 the only difference was i told iTunes to start my iPod as a new one instead of loading it from a backup. This actually worked, the only downside was I lost my favourited websites and all the saved info in my apps but hey, atleast they work.
So long story short try wiping your iPod clean and restoring as a brand new one with the 3.1.1 and it might just just work.

I just purchased the 64GB iPod touch and it had the same issues from the start. While I had the same issue with the apps I also had intermittent problems with movies not working. I reset the entire iPod touch 64gb and re-synced as 'new' (described earlier) and it is working for now. I am planning on loading some new apps and movies and re-syncing to see if it stays working.
Also, I upgraded from 3.1.1 to 3.1.2 and everything stopped working again. I am staying on 3.1.1 as long as this solution keeps working until I see something from Apple addressing this issue.
Apple usually does a better job with their software. I am hoping that this is only a software issue and not a hardware issue.

A possible fix for the email "large attachment cra...

08, v1507, FP2, UK product code (hacked from original amazon.co.uk Malaysian product code).
I've just started Nokia Suite to see if anything new comes up.
No sign of 1508 but one "really interesting" fix for the email app, specifically mentioning the "large attachment" bug. It isn't easy to reproduce because it doesn't happen all the time, even with the 10MB pics from Camera Pro on max jpeg quality settings, but it is good that Nokia (Accenture actually) are still out there reading the forums and fixing stuff...
No news of any HSPA fixes.
The attachment fix seems to work but they have now imposed a hard limit on email size of 15.36MB, which is way below what the previous email app was capable of sending sometimes - I have tested up to 50MB on the 700 and the 808.

Well... they haven't completely fixed it. This morning, doing some tests (of something else) which involved emailing 2-4 images as attachments (total size under 10MB) the email app crashed a few times. As before, the crash results in the email being dropped into the Drafts folder.

Possible fix for embed tag problems in Safari 5.1 - Quicktime 7.6.6

I would be grateful if anyone can confirm the following problem and fix:
A user of my website reported that embedded audio (mp3) files ceased playing after installing Safari 5.1 on OS X 10.6.8. I updated my test machine's Safari from 5.0 to 5.1 and confirmed the issue. Some audio would play, some wouldn't. Wierder, a random selection of Javascript-triggered embedded audio would report, "Error calling method on NPObject".
I had a very similar issue with 64-bit Mac Firefox 5 and Quicktime Plug-in 7.6.6. In the case of Firefox 5, the fix was to open Get Info... on Firefox and select 32-bit mode (this also stopped an annoying Quicktime dialog).
The Safari problem with embedded mp3's didn't occur under a fresh user account, so I came up with a possible fix:
In Safari, choose "Empty Cache...", followed by "Reset Safari", checking only "Remove all website data" (if you don't want to lose your auto-fill, passwords and history).
My system seems to have recovered its senses... I'm just wondering if the fix above was what did the trick.
Cheers,
Chris

I followed these steps and it did not fix my problem. I still click on an mp3 link and it downloads, rather than opening in the browser.
It gives me the option of choosing, and works both ways (download/open) in Firefox.
sample link: AccNoir+Fest+2011+PRA+mp3.mp3
Curiously, if I click "Open With" on the dowloaded file and tell it to open in Safari, it opens fine like I want. So it's not that Safari can't, it just isn't being told properly.

Possible fix for some dlink routers with wifi issues

I found something online that stated that if you turn off a feature called WMM that it can help or fix some wifi issues, and on my dlink dir-268 it seems to be working. Now without this feature turned off I could connect to my wifi but not much else, with it off I have checked websites online and also for the first time been able to download a 300MB+ file. I dont know if it is still used on the newer dlink routers but it could be at least a temp fix for some. For my router it is located under the advanced/ advanced wireless settings
Please post your results if you find this feature on your router, and list what model you have and if it worked so if it fixes problems for enough people mabe we can let dlink know of this find. could help in getting a fix out for the router firm ware or mabe even the android os.

Wouldn't really be a fix... more a workaround. However...
Both my Plus account, and a free test account I set up, don't have reliable push... so I think the problem is a little more complex than this.
While there has been a theory that free accounts work (which I have not experienced), I don't think Apple or Yahoo have ever stated that push was only intended to work for free accounts...

Possible fix for CPU temp problem found.

Well, one day I decided to take the heatsink off of the nForce3 chip and put some good ol' Arctic Silver thermal compound on there. I figured it might help with overclocking and whatnot. When I took it off, look what I found(!):
Imagine my surprise! Why did they even bother? Ridiculous. After removing their mistake, I put some Arctic Silver on there and re-attached the MSI heatsink (someday I'll probably buy a much better one for it). I've noticed after a couple of days (it takes a little while for the thermal compound to set in) that the CPU temp doesn't appear to fluctuate wildly anymore. Before I was getting crazy jumps from 45C to 65C, but now it hovers around 45C-47C idle and a little over 50C stressed. I've also noticed that my overclocks are a bit more stable now too. For those of you wondering, I'm using BIOS v1.1 at the moment (haven't tried v1.42 yet).
Can anyone confirm these findings? Maybe something else I did fixed my CPU temp issue (I do fiddle with the BIOS quite a bit). My guess is that the nForce3 has a part in determining/reporting the CPU temperature.
I hope this actually is a fix for some of you out there, but don't get your hopes up too high until at least one other person can confirm my theory.

It's very easy to remove the MSI plate. Using a pair of needle-nose pliers pinch the fins on the heat sink on one side together (one at the top, one at the bottom). You don't have to do it too much and be careful. This provides enough slack for the plate to drop out with some slight assistance. Well, that's how I did mine.
I then attached a 40mm fan by screwing into the gaps between the two fins. Only on the one side mind (so 2 screws in total). It holds the fan fine, no rattling.
I have some Artic Silver adhesive and I did consider leaving the MSI plate in place and fixing the fan to it. But I wasn't sure how secure it would be. Plus the plate rattles already, imagine how it would behave with a fan stuck to it.
Unfortunately, I forgot to make a note of the NB temperature before I did it. And I can't for the life of me remember what it was. So I can't say, for sure, how it has effected the temperature. I'm sure it has though.
I suppose it's easy enough to disconnect the fan to find out. I might try that later...
Running at 230x10 (stock = 200x10), MBM reports:
Case = 37C
CPU = 35C
Sensor 3 = 49C
The sensors are labelled by MBM, so I am assuming they respond to the correct items, ie the CPU temp is actually the CPU temp.
This is after a hour or so with Azureus running, mIRC open, a couple of IE windows and SETI running at ~97% CPU
When I take the side off to disconnect the fan again, I will take a picture.
