Possible solution to the mysterious crashes

I have just been contacted by an Adobe engineer trying to get
to the
bottom of the mysterious crashes that appear to be connected
with the
clock change in Europe. Try deleting the
WinFileCache[series_of_random_numbers].dat file in your
configuration
folder.
On Win XP, it's located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration
In Vista, it's at:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration
After removing the WinFileCache, scripts that previously
crashed
Dreamweaver CS3 acted normally again.
This *appears* to be the solution, but has not yet been
officially
confirmed.

Try using the code below in a new PHP file. You should see
the crash, if
you didn't already delete your FileCache.dat file. From what
we've seen so
far, the crashes are limited to PHP files with dynamic list
menus.
We can reproduce the problem with PHP files, but we're not
able to reproduce
the problem with ASP files or any other file types. Can
people that are
seeing this problem with non-PHP files post their code so we
can reproduce
the problem here?
Thanks,

A possible solution for the folder exclamation or folder! problem

This worked for Windows XP. Don't know if it will work for the Mac but it may.
Three days ago my wife’s iPod, 4th gen 40gb, stopped working. I got the folder exclamation icon (or folder! as some have described it). I hooked it to my laptop and had no joy with it. The system (XP) would see it sometimes as a removable and sometimes as a hard drive. Disk Manager saw it a couple of times but it always took about an hour for it to show up. I messed with it about 5 hours the first night and then decided to take it to the Apple Store the next day. The guys at the Genius Bar had the same problem, this time on a Mac. Told me it was out of warranty and that the best I could do was find someone who could repair it. I’m a tech and I don’t want to mess with it but I’m not going to pay someone $200+ to replace what is essentially a laptop hard drive. So I kept plugging away and researching on the net. I’ve seen a lot of posts concerning the icon as well as a few concerning the partitioning of the drive. I’ve even seen where some people are advocating opening the iPod and shaking the drive which is never a good idea. Nothing really seemed to help so I kept working on it myself.
I did find a solution and it takes a bit of time. It involves deleting the current partition and formatting it again. Since I’m using this on XP I had to format the partition as a Fat32. In order to do this I had to use the Knoppix operating system because Microsoft limited XP’s ability to format Fat32 partitions to 32GB. If you have an iPod that is less than 32gb you may be able to just format it using XP. I also couldn’t get XP to delete the partition so using Knoppix worked out very well since it has a program called QTParted on it that works like Partition Magic. Knoppix is free and does not have to be installed. It runs entirely off of your CDRom drive. If you have about an hour to try this I’d be interested in whether it works for anyone else.
I believe the problem that most people are having comes from the fact that the Fat32 file system is not good for keeping a “clean” hard drive. It tends to leave bits and pieces around and if you update a lot it can affect the hard drive’s performance. I know that Restoring using the updater is supposed to fix this but it appears that the updater software does a quick format. That won’t always fix the problem. By following what I did you will blow away the existing partition and create a new one and format it to the Fat32. This effectively makes it a “clean” hard drive.
Before I walk you through this I just wanted to say that I’ve purposely blown my wife’s iPod away 4 times to make sure that this works. Works like new now and did so after each time I blew it away. You should have seen her face when I did it.
The things you will need and need to do are:
CD Burner (you need to be able to create a disk from an ISO Image
Blank CD
Download a copy of Knoppix 4.0 from http://www.knoppix.com
Download the current version of iPod updater http://www.apple.com/iPod/download/
Make sure your system can boot from CD-Rom (Check your system docs)
About an hour of your time
1. Using your software of choice, burn the Knoppix image to your CD.
2. Place your iPod in Disk Mode. You do that by resetting the iPod and , on 4th gen at least, once it resets immediately hold down the Select+Play/Pause buttons. You should see it say Disk Mode at the top of your screen. Not sure how to do that on other iPods but I figure if you’ve gotten this far you will be able to figure it out.
2. Shut your system down and place the Knoppix cd in your cdrom. Make sure your system will boot from CD
Note: If you are using a laptop you may not be able to use the mouse by default with Knoppix. You can try to enable it when you first start Knoppix. You do this by typing the following at the Boot: prompt.
Knoppix pci=irqmask=0x0e98
If that doesn’t work for you then you may need to hook another mouse to your laptop.
3. Once Knoppix is up go to the K button (located like the start button on XP) and go to the system group. You will see a program called QTParted. Start that program.
4. On the left of the QTParted screen you will see the hard drives on your system. One of them should be your iPod. It should say something like /dev/sda1. Click on that device. In the bottom on the left side for Drive Info I was given the information that it was an Apple iPod and the capacity. Don’t know if everyone will get that but it stands to reason that you should.
5. You should now see the iPod’s partition information on the right side of the screen. I don’t know about anyone else’s but my wife’s had 37mb free and that turned out to be important. Make a note of any unallocated space you may have and keep it for the next step. Highlight the partition and then delete it. Once deleted you will need to go to the upper left corner of the screen. There is a button there to Commit changes that you have made. Click on this button and wait for the process to end.
6. Now to create a new partition. In the right panel right click again on the drive. Select create partition. It will ask you what type of partition you want to create. Select Fat32 and where it gives you the option for the partition size, use the slide bar to leave the amount of space free that was unallocated in step 5. The reason for this is that when I first partitioned my wife’s I used all of the available space and the iPod didn’t like it. Once you have the size set hit OK (or whatever it is to continue). Go again to the upper right and hit the Commit button. Wait for the changes to happen and then shutdown your system, remove the Knoppix cd and then boot again as normal.
7. Once your system has rebooted start the iPod updater. Once it asks you to plug in your iPod connect your iPod and you should be able to Restore it.
As I said I did this 4 times to make sure it worked and each time both the updater and iTunes saw the iPod with no problems.
At this point you should have your iPod back up and running. I apologize if I haven’t been very detailed here but I’m at work and typing this from memory. I wanted to get this out now while I’m thinking about it because I’m getting ready to go away for a couple of months and won’t have time to do this at home.
Let me know if this works for anyone.

mythic: You do NOT have to use FAT32. You don't even have to delete and recreate the partition. All you have to do is format the hard drive of the iPod. That's it. Your procedure will work even if you format the new partition as NTFS.
But don't take my word for it. Try it yourself.
I've done this exact same thing a hundred times, and I never used Knoppix to do it. All you have to do is:
1. Force the iPod into Disk Mode as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651 (note that there's a different procedure for 3G and older iPod's!)
2. Start the iPod Updater (on an XP box). Having the Updater open will prevent iTunes from auto-launching and trying to screw around with the iPod.
3. Connect the iPod. It'll show up as a normal drive letter on the PC (if the PC crashes at this point, that's a Windows specific problem, not an iPod one).
4. Use the Disk Management tool (located in Control Panel->Admin Tools->System Management) to format. Doing this as NTFS is perfectly fine. Do not do a quick format.
5. After the format, go back to the updater and hit Restore.
It works every time. I've posted this like a thousand times, but nobody ever seems to pay attention.
Why does it work? It's simple, really. The Updater's Restore process is broken if there are bad sectors in certain locations. Formatting the iPod's partition like that causes it to do a scan for bad sectors. That's why the format takes so long (quick format skips this scan). The reason NTFS works fine is because one of the things the restore process actually does is to rewrite the iPod's partition table, and in the process it converts that NTFS space back into a FAT32 space. So really it makes no difference what that partition is, Restore will overwrite it anyway.
For information's sake, what the Restore process actually does is to write a disk image onto the iPod's drive. This disk image itself is tricky, but the Restore procedure is not particularly complex. You can even extract that image and write it to the iPod yourself in Linux using dd. That works just as well.
Anyway, when the drive won't write to a specific sector, then the Restore program freaks out. Formatting will remap the unwritable sectors and fix the problem. It's the bad sector remapping that's important here, not the partition layout or the filesystem type. Fix the drive problem and the Restore will work.

Invalid ELF Heder [possible solution, for the unlucky]

well i duno whre to post this, but whatevr..
[woffle]
yesterday i found that for whatever reason a lot of apps stop working ,
and instead started complaining about libc.so..6 having an invalid ELF Header... [?] i dunno, that was before and after the upgrade to the 2.5 version...
anyay, i googled it and found a few random users with this problem, so i knew it had nothign to do with anything.. prolly just the unlucky ones lol..
[possible solution]
anways... i managed to fix it [i think] by linking /usr/lib/libc.so.6 to /lib/libc.so.*2.5 instead of /usr/lib/libc.so
[add]
/usr/lib/libc.so is an ld-script btw. duno if it should be that way..
i'd file a bug report, but as i said.. it just happened out of teh blue, i did no sys up/down-grades , compiles, nothing... apart form install kdebase to get kate...

Hi Florin,
Check person type useage also. coz When Employee.Ex-Applicant' person type changes to 'Employee.Applicant', no other actions can be processed for that person.

Maybe the solution for the BDM crashing

HEY GUYS!
I found a solution(at least for me) for the same crashing situation thats everyone have.
First, I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3.
I tried everything post in this forum, even in other forums. I've checked the recommend configuration to see if I'm missing something. I saw maybe my .Net framework was not up-to-date so after installing the v4, it dosen't do anything better. So here is the step I made to solve this :
- Start BDM
- Crash occur
- Plugged my Blackberry without selecting in the device what I wanna do
- A message appear on my computer saying it missed a filled to continue, Xmllite.dll
- Gone to MS website to download the package : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/915865/fr
- Installed it
- Always with the device plugged, i start BDM
- IT WORKS! NO CRASH!
So give it a try to see if it can be the solution for all of us. If so... Merry Christmas!

Thank you for your solution...happy Christmas

A Possible Solution to the Issues with QuickTime + Beloved Question Mark.

This is a possible solution to this issue. I have been doing some thinking about this. I have suggested the answer would come from Apple Computer, through an update of "QuickTime". I looked at the applications using the internet. I highlighted them, did a "Find Info" or Apple/Command-I. I decided to check the "Rossetta" box and in my case, better functionality. One thing, make sure you check all of them. I am not jumping up and down and screaming I have the answer. I am just saying it's a possibility. If you want to go this route, let's talk if we run into problems. This is the purpose of the discussion boards.

Possible Solution to the Problem of Connecting TiVo to AirPort Wirelessly

I recently bought an AirPort Extreme and was having problems getting my two TiVos to connect wirelessly. At first everything was fine but after a few days when either of my TiVos tried to connect automatically to download information they could not find the gateway. In researching it on the Apple Support Communities I found that others have had the same problem. I think I have found the solution.
The TiVo N-adapter connects to the WiFi in a different way than other products. For most devices you look at the networks that are available, pick yours, and then enter the password. The TiVo N-adapter, by contrast, shows two different network names for your network, one for the 2.4 Ghz and the other for 5 Ghz. For each of the two netwoks it also shows the channel being broadcast by the Apple Extreme. When I first connected my Tivos to the AirPort WiFi I chose the network name associated with the 2.4 Ghz/ Channel 1 option. At first there was no problem. Then The TiVos could not connect. I went to the AirPort Utility App on my iPad and found that the 2.4 Ghz had changed from channel 1 to channel 6 (click on the base station and then select edit, Advanced, WiFi, Radio Channels). I then manually changed it back to channel 1 and turned off the automatic feature. I have had no problem since then.

Possible solution for Empty Trash crashing

iPhoto continues to crash on me when emptying trash. I would think Apple could have fixed this by now, but I found something that works MOST of the time. After sending pics to trash, I open trash, move the scaling slider to smallest possible image, and then empty trash. Doesn't always work on the first try, but results are better than constantly restarting and emptying trash from normal views.

Replying to my own post? OK, I fixed my connectivity problem and did not need to uninstall iTunes. Originally I'd installed via System Update and had the aforementioned problem. So...I then downloaded iTunes directly from Apple and ran the installer...over top of my existing 8.2.1. When I did this I noticed that "custom" install includes two components. There's iTunes and there is mobile device somethingorother. By default they were both checked but I don't remember if that was the case with the install via System Update. It may have been but I hadn't chosen "custom." So...voila...now my iTouch connects and I didn't even have to restart the computer, let alone uninstall iTunes. Your mileage may vary but I'd suggest this reinstall as an easy first step if your Mac won't recognize your iTouch after installing iTunes from System Update.

Possible Solution- Illustrator CC 2014 crash/quit on startup

I downloaded CC 2014 the day it was released, added all my 3rd party plug ins and settings and started using it right away- mainly because of the pencil tool changes. Worked great until last night. Every startup would result in a crash. Read through the forums and nothing solved it (restart, pref delete, permissions fix, 3rd part plug in removal, remove/clean/reinstall). Then I went through the changes I made to my computer of the last day or so, Cocktail autopilot, other adobe updates, and SUITCASE FUSION CC 2014 UPDATE. That was the culprit. Turned off the auto activation for CC 2014 through Suitcase and illustrator started up right away without any issues.
Hope this helps.

i don't know cocktail, and i don't use suitcase (and like i told, no 3rd party plugins, deleted the prefs, and like youtube videos says: deleting some standard-files from the pluginfolder )....nothing works....???

Possible solution to the N97 screen freezing

Hi everyone,
I decided to open a nokia account to explain how i solved my troubles with the n97. First of all, sorry in advance if I don't write a correct english.
My user experience with N97 wasn't bad at all at the very beginning. When everybody seems to have problems, my firm 12 and 20 worked fine, no serious issues (however not perfect). It all begin a couple of months ago, my n97 didn't have the response i was use to. The screen didn't work, it was almost permanently freeze, as the menu key. I couldn't even switch off the alarm every morning and enter the pin was a hard work. The last couple of weeks i thought it had a hardware failure, but i've done several hard resets and mass memory formattings, and then it worked fine again, but only for a few minutes...And then I got it....It worked fine until i connected it to the Ovi Suite and some "help software" was automatically installed on the C: of my phone.
That is the point when my phone begins to have several performance issues. So I tried to unistall all this amount of software and my phone seems to work fine again. I don't remember the whole list of programs, i remember something like "Contacts DS group", "SMS DS..", "Controller service",etc... In fact I uninstalled everything I had in C: except "API Bridge" (The only program i had before connecting N97 to Ovi Suite).
I don't know if this is a general solution or if it's my solution to this kind of troubles, but if I can save the pain to somebody, this post has a point!
Thanks and greetings!
PD:By the way, if anybody from Nokia reads this: I see that lots and lots of people have problems of any kind, also, the phone has lack of RAM, lack of C: memory, even working fine the screen response is often annoying, in some areas the N95 was better, the loudspeaker is terrible, etc.... I think that a few apology words from the vice-president is not enough at all. If they HAVE BEEN PAID with all our money and the device is not by far what they claimed to be, and simply DOESN'T WORK, we need something else. Take responsability, you can sell a mistake, but then DO SOMETHING!!You can't DO NOTHING!Offer a discount on a new model, an exchange, whatever, use your brainstorming team!It would be a clever and polite hand played by nokia that customers would appreciate. I know that this is a way to acknowledge the failure of that device, but ...wouldn't be nice a little of honesty facing the evidence?

Possible Solution to the Restore/Not Recognized Problem

I FOUND THE SOLUTION!!!
...after hours of tech support ...from Bolivia
You need to reformat the iPod going through "My Computer" and using the basic Windows Reformat. Not the Quick Format. Then, open iTunes and a Restore option will be avaliable. Make sure that you have an internet conection to download the software. Should fix the problem. Good Luck!

Possible solution to the black screen problem

My macbook air is 13-inch, 128GB
OS is os x 10.8.4
My problem is:
After closing the lid, the mac goes to sleep. And after a time which is longer than the value of standbydelay setting (to know what is standbydelay plz refer to https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages /man1/pmset.1.html), open the lid, then the screen goes black directly, no login screen, but the backside logo is lighting, the keyboard is lighting, and the screen has faint light, not complete dark.
My solution:
The following is useless or just temporal
1. Reset SMC or PRAM
2. Select startup disk
3. Reinstall OS X
4. Delete sleepimage file
The following method is not good, so i don't give it a try
pmset -a hibernatemode 0 (disable Safe Sleep, which can result in data loss)
The following is what I use and useful until now
Click System Preferences
Click Power Saver
Click Lock to lock it
Import plz Note: If u reboot it, u need to Lock it again. Because the system unlock it after a reboot or shutdown-start.
Apparently, it's another OS bug which is so ugly. Does apple have a test team?
Try it and check it for a few days
If it works, plz post it to let others and me know

A possible solution to the MIDI problem with Audition 5.5

Hi, all.
In searching for other answers to my Audition 5.5 questions, I've been seeing lots of complaints on these forums about the lack of MIDI compatibility with this version. If you have an external MIDI sequencer, I offer a solution that you might find useful.
Go into Audition's Edit > Preferences and change the time display from minutes and seconds to bars and beats
Specify the time signature to the closest beat value of your song (exampe: if you're using both 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures, go with 4/4)
Set the tempo to match your song
Lay down a full length click track with at least a 4 measure click intro
Insert the same length click intro into every track (which, when working with previously sequenced tracks, is just a matter starting the machine in sequence-record mode with the metronome on, counting the appriopriate beats and turning it back off just before the song starts)
Mute all but the track you intend to record
Record each instrument track to its own file, save and open a multi-track session
Position the first beat of the click track far enough into the session to preclude needing to trim intros (you can trim the silence out with the click intro after mixdown)
Zoom in until a single click fits perfectly under the time indicator line
Drag or snap all the other tracks underneath it so that the first click of each track lines up
I use lots of instruments with slow attack (such as strings), or tracks where the instrument might only be in a few measures, so the 4+ measures of click intro are particularly useful.
Pretty low-tech, but quick and painless nonetheless. It suits my purposes, though I'd love to know if someone has a better method. Thanks for reading.

The other problem is that, even among the "music creation" market, there can be big differences in the perceived importance of MIDI.
I'm not a musician myself but have worked closely with two very different composers. One of them does practically everything in MIDI (using Sonar) then tends to hand me the files to work with in Audition (after conversion to wave format). Some tracks are left in the form they came but others are replaced with live "real" instruments.
The other person is much more traditional. He plays more instruments than I can count and I help him by recording as he lays down drums, guitars, bass, brass, etc. etc. He owns a lot of keyboards but, even with these, he sends me line out and uses the actual keyboard sounds rather than laying down MIDI data.
So, if you asked these two how important it would be to have MIDI functionality, you'd get two very different answers. From some of the recording forums I frequent, I get the impression that my friends are a microcosm of the whole market . Some use MIDI a lot while others prefer the feel and sound of recording live instruments. (And, I'm sure, others inhabit a middle ground.)
True dat. Up until about a year or so ago, I didn't use MIDI, and so Audition was for me music production software par excellence. Then about a year ago, I started getting into MIDI, and now I'm not only using MIDI for creating keyboard-based tracks for overdubs, I'm actually writing songs using MIDI (whereas before songwriting almost always involved a guitar). MIDI has become huge for me, in other words. And whether I go to sites like Studio Central and read Tweakhead's guide to homerecording in which he tells people that modern music-making either involves MIDI or is MIDI-based, or whether I read articles in Sound on Sound magazine which constantly reference MIDI in their articles, have regular features about sample librairies that use MIDI, or look at the countless ads touting MIDI keyboards and controllers, it's clear that MIDI is as much a part of modern recording as guitars and mics. Before, I never used to get what Steve was on about when he'd say that Audition isn't music production software, because I had produced five albums of stuff using either CEP or Audition. Now, I understand what he means when he says that. When he says Audition isn't a music production software, he means 'Audition doesn't have MIDI'. However, the truth of the matter is that Audition is a wonderful music production software if you don't use MIDI, and a partial music production software if you do. You know, I've tried out other softwares - Reaper, Studio One, FL Studio (ha!) - and none of them come close to Audition for me. Sure, I can get by using Reaper for MIDI, but knowing how Audition does things, I know that I'd be happier doing it inside Audition. Hence, the continued lobbying. I want the best.

A possible solution for the Itunes 12 album art dilemma!

I may have found the reason as to why the album art isn't working here are the steps i used to solve this!
1. Locate the music within the hard drive.
2. Select every single music you want to add an art to, Either ctrl ( or command) + click the multiple files, or Crtl (or command) A to select all
3. Right click, and go to properties
4. Uncheck "read only"
5. save
6. Go back to itunes, and add the album art using the original method, it should work now!
Hope it helps!

A possible solution for the version 7 sound problem..

Please forgive me if this has incorrect terms & names. I'm not really clued up with computers.
If you use Mozilla & use the music bar at the bottom of your browser, while using iTunes, when the music starts to mess up, press the stop button on the bottom of your firefox browser, then press play again.
This hasd solved my bad sound problem for the past hour & a half. I had no problems since I did that.
Hope this works for others.

Possible solution to the iSync 2.2 problems?

Earlier today I posted to the thread: "isync doesnt work any more after mac os update" - post no. 102 at the time! iSync wasn't even opening for me, & I described the symptoms. There was a speedy reply from Aur, who asked to see the Console Log (which I'd never heard of), and then suggested I remove the Sync Services folder from Home > Library > Application Support. Apologies for copying my reply into a new thread - but there have been several other threads started on the same topic, and this might save a few folk some time and frustration.
Aur,
Hey, that's it! I looked in Home > Library > Application Support, & found 2 folders:
1) Sync Service (NB no final 's') - Modified 29 Apr 2005
2) Sync Services - Modified Today
I removed 2) Sync Services, but there was no change in the behaviour; I then removed 1) Sync Service, and iSync immediately did everything it's supposed to! I was apprehensive about doing 'Erase all ... ', but it worked fine and transferred all Contacts & Calendars to the phone in a couple of minutes.
iSync has rebuilt its Sync Services folder & seems to be a happy Appy. It has even managed to transfer a couple of contacts it had trouble with before the upgrade, and the K750i can now tell me what I'm supposed to be doing in 12 months time ...
So the villain of the piece seems to be an old Sync Service (no final 's') folder, I presume left over from an earlier version of iSync (1.5?) that for some reason didn't interfere with 2.1 but does cause trouble with 2.2.
I hope this helps some of the others who have been caught out by this.
Many thanks to Aur!
PBG4, SE K750i, iSync 2.2 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I too was having . . . problems, but by deleting my 'sync services' folder has fixed it for me.
My problems were a bit different. Prior to deleting the 'sync services' folder, when I loaded up isync, I get a lot of time to admire . . . . nothing happening, before isync would eventually open. The only thing is, all that it would open was the isync icon on the dock and the 'isync' and 'help' menu items. Even though the 'isync' and 'help' menu items were showing, clicking on either would fail to present a drop down menu. Right clicking on the 'isync' dock item would give me a 'sync devices' option (as well as 'keep in dock', 'open at login', 'show in finder', 'hide' and quit') but when I selected it, I got a pop up window advising me;
"syncronisation is not enabled on this computer - You need to turn on synchronisation in iSync preferences before you can synchronise any information."
Wierder still was the fact that when this pop up window was up, I was able to get a drop down menu to appear under 'isync' and 'help', however no 'preferences' option was available under either (isync has 'services', 'hide isync', 'hide others', and 'quit isync', while help only has the 'help' option).
I had tried to get to preferenes through the .mac pane, but both the 'sync' and the 'advanced' tabs were greyed out, and unresponsive to my frantic clicking. It is interesting to note that the deletion of the 'sync services' folder has fixed this problem as well.
Another wierd thing was that when I 'command tab' to isync, although 'command tab' showed that I had selected isync, the menu bar still showed the menu options for the last viewed program (i.e. safari).
So in short, this does work, not sure why. As such, I am now able to sync my n70 without a hitch.
thanks guys.
