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!

"open for read error" message

A recent firmware update (2.1 for MAcBooks) caused many of us to lose use of our superdrives. Someone figured out a fix that involved "flashing" the drive by running a program he wrote from Terminal. It worked for quite a few people but when I tried to run it instead of executing the program the message "open for read error" was returned. The command was "./simple_flash 0 UJ857-KBVB-MBP-rpc1.dat" which was supposed to start the simple_flash executible which referred to or used the .dat file.
Does anyone know what the "open for read error" is telling me? How can I resolve whatever it is that is preventing execution.
Thanks very much. Many are buying new superdrives to solve this problem but that is expensive.

I would say to take your machine into an Apple Store, but judging by your profile, I think that might not be feasible.
Where are you running this from? I downloaded it and looked at the source and that error just means that it can't open the dat file. Actually, it means that it can't even find the dat file. In the Terminal, you must use "cd" to move to the directory where the "simple_flash" executable and the .dat file are located. Do an "ls" and, if they are both listed, it should work.

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 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)
=============================================
- After sleep, restart, cold reboot, even though cannot connect to Internet, but the AirPort bars are still full, as if connected.
- 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.
3.Pick one of the locations mentioned in #1, and make it sure it is connected. If not, use Diagnostic button. If you have to select Network or enter WEP password to connect, make it so.
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.

Check cdrom for read errors

Hello all,
may be this question sounds stupid, but is there any way to check cd disk for read errors in Solaris ?
I have Solaris 9 installed
thanks !

You didn't mention whether the CD was bought or burned from an iso image. If you have access to an md5sum of the iso image that was used to burn the CD, then you can verify the CD content against the image. There might be a clever tool to automate this, but I usually just md5sum the iso image, then do the same with the CD itself.
To use md5sum on the CD: assuming it's already (auto)mounted, check what /dev/... name it corresponds to by looking at the output of mount. Then umount the CD but don't eject it. Run md5sum (or digest -a md5) on that /dev/ pathname.
If you don't have a verification source, then I suppose you could just get Solaris to scan the entire CD contents (e.g. use "tar cf -" on the CD root and redirect output to /dev/null) and then look for any I/O errors in the system logs.

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

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.

Possible fix for loss of internet!!!

The other threads were getting a little out of hand so I wanted to start fresh. It seems as though there are a lot of possible root causes for the internet connection drop problem. I have applied this fix to two computers with success. It may not work for you, but it's easy to try and won't screw everything up. Please mention if it works for you!

Glad it worked for you, but I happen to like my Firewire port for backing up my macbook, I also like using a external Bluetooth mouse and occasionally the built-in ethernet port, so removing any one of those items isn't really an option for me.
I tried to rationalize why doing this would help. Removing those network ports logically indicates doing so may be releasing an interupt making it available for another device like the Airport card.
This would NOT surprise me as I have seen numerous Interrupt errors in the past related to a dysfunctional Airport connection but that was with 10.5.5.
You would have to study your System Profiler system.log log file carefully for those errors, I tried to search for one in my current log file but couldn't find any.
Theoretically, you should be able to add those items back in one-by-one and rebooting between. Your active network connection should remain on top with highest priority.
But you would think there would be enough interrupts to assign one to each of those devices. Look for interrupt assignment errors in your system.log.
But I use on occasion the Maintenance utility downloaded from Apple to clean cache and rebuild the services or daemon database. This may be why I don't have any hardware interrupt conflicts.

Itunes artwork display issue and a fix for 'unknown error occured (-50)'

Too bad they dont have stickies. This would be a great one.
This is a thorough fix for art work and the -50 error.
If you see artwork in itunes, first verify that the artwork is in the mp3 tag using a program like "tag and rename" http://www.softdepia.com/tagrename_download1291.html
If the artwork shows up in tag and rename, then you added it correctly.
If the artwork isn't displaying on ipod, delete the song and retransfer to the ipod. Next make sure the "view artwork" check box is checked. To do this connect your iPod to iTunes and there will be a checkbox that should be checked to see if you want artwork to show up on your iPod.
If you get this message -
The ipod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50).
And have no artwork at all in you IPOD , dont fret. I am getting there..
NO you DO NOT NEED to FORMAT YOUR IPOD YET as commonly posted. I have tested and retested the following fix-
Eject IPOD. Kill ITUNES.
Backup the following files
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Music Library.xml
& anything in the Previous Itunes library folder
and delete them. More info on these at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
Dont worry, its much easier to recreate the database than to wipe your IPOD.
Next Start up ITUNES. Plug in IPOD. You now should have a empty database.
At this time, uncheck copy ARTWORK to IPOD, and when it's done deleting artwork, CHECK Copy ARTWORK to IPOD.
It now should sucessfully display ARTWORK and not get the -50 error!!
Now, goto you ITUNES Music folder and drag to the library and it will add you music back in, including your PODCASTS.
All you need to do is click the RESUBSCRIBE button and you are back in business!
IF this fails, which i cant DUPLICATE anymore, try this
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300248
Its the DREADED IPOD FORMAT article.
But you probably wont need it if you follow all these steps.
Post back if this doesnt work and if it does, give me some credit;)

Just as an fyi, to shorten this procedure instead of deleting the files i found out you and open the .itl files and delete all the lines in it so its an empty file.
Then open itunes, and it will rebuild the database with the files from the .xml file.
This saves you from having to rescan the songs..

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.

Fix for FOND error on Lion

I just upgraded my system from Leopard to Lion and I noticed that now my Univers fonts will not activate. When I went to Fontbook I noticed that all of my Univers fonts come up with the same error message 'FOND' font association unability and now it will not activate or install. I went through several other forums and found that this error was common on Leopard but I haven't found any mention of it on Lion. There also does not seem to be any available fixes for Lion according to my searches.
I attempted to reinstall the font with a new version of the Univers CE family but that refused to install because the older font that was having issues with Lion was still installed (albeit not working). I attempted to remove the non-functional font and then reinstall the new one and that still did not work. If there is a way to just force Lion to install the font despite the FOND error that would be preferable.
This is highy inconvenient since the Univers font family is what I use the most in Quark and now I will have to manually switch over to another font for my files to display correctly. It is not the entire Univers font family that is affected by this glitch, only the Univers fonts that have CE in them. According to all of the reports I've seen with Leopard, this issue is caused by it not recognizing bitmaps or something like that. If anyone can offer any insight on how I can fix this I would be very appreciative.

kirchoff - if you still have an issue with the font, have you completely cleared the font cache by restarting your mac in safe mode? I'm wrestling with FOND errors in Lion myself and that has alleviated 'some' of my problems. my other problems are related to screen fonts that have multiple weights contained within the file and internal names that don't resolve well...but i digress. good luck!

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.
