PreferenceChangeListner does not getnotified if changed from Window regedit

Hi All,
I have registered a registry entry of Windows as a Preference Object.I have PreferenceChanegListeners added to this node.The problem is:
This listner is not getting notified if i change the value of the registry entry from regedit of Windows.However it does get notified if i change the value of the registry entry from java code within.
Any idea how can i listen to change of the registry entry ??
Thanks,
Ranjitha

The API says this:
Events are only guaranteed for changes made within the same JVM as the registered listener, though some implementations may generate events for changes made outside this JVM. Events may be generated before the changes have become permanent. Events are not generated when indirect descendants of this node are added or removed; a caller desiring such events must register with each descendant.So not getting a change event for changes made by regedit is ok, according to the spec.
Remember that the Preferences API is not a API explicitely designed to access the Windows Registry (which can easily be seen by the facts that it 1.) works on non-Windows systems as well and 2.) provides access only to a very limited subset of the registry).
So if you need general Registry Access support of some kind, you'll have to search for other APIs.

  • Scanner of HP 8500 A909g does not work after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10

    After upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and subsequent upgrade of printer software, the scanner functionality did not work. When I tried to uninstall the printer software I got the message "HP uninstaller has stopped working". After another upgrade of printer software the scanner was still not working. How can I get around this problem? Update:
    I followed the instructions for a similar problem with Windows 8 on http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Scan-doesn-t-work-on-Solution-Center-after-migrating-to-Win/td-p/2228367.After this, the scanning seems to work. Not sure whether it is possible to uninstall, though (don't want to try since it is working).

    I had the same problem with my Officejet Pro 8600 All-in-One scanner, sfter upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. After uninstalling and then reinstalling the printer driver, the problem is solved. You can look up the model of your printer on HP's support site and download it from there. Apparently, not all printers are compatible with Windows 10. In that case, they recommend you buy a new printer. ;-)

  • Screen sharing does not let me login from Windows

    Hi!
    I have a Mac mini running the latest Version OS X Mavericks (10.9.3). I enabled "Screen sharing" in the settings, enabled access for all users and set a password for letting VNC-Viewers control the screen. The Firewall is disabled completely.
    When I try to login from my Windows machine with a VNC client (I tried RealVNC), I am prompted for the screen-control password. I enter it and now see the OS X login screen. So far, so good! I select my user and type in the user's password and try to login. Without success. It acts as if my password was wrong.
    I already tried different Windows PCs as clients, triple-double-quadrupel checked my passwords, have a colleague try it. Changed the passwords to real simple ones (using the same for screen controlling as the one for my OS X user, and then different ones, too). I tried rebooting the Mac, enabling the firewall, disabling it again. Whatever I do, I have the same problem: I see the login screen but I cannot login with my OS X user's password.
    Any hints? Any ideas on what could help me?
    Thank you!

    I don't believe home sharing does that. I am pretty sure the Shared Library option does though (Edit -> Preferences -> Sharing tab)
    I haven't done that in awhile so I cannot say for certain if the Shared Library method still lets you do what your asking but I am pretty sure it can. Try enabling it on the computer you want to transfer from and give it a go and please let us know how it works out for you

  • Firefox does not save my tabs and windows from last time when I start it although i have already set it so (on Macbook)

    Firefox does not save my tabs and windows from last time, although i have already set it so (on a Macbook) (newest version)

    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

  • Since I have changed from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1, I have not been able to start up Photoshop Elements 9! or Premiere Elements 9! The menu starts up allright, but the programs don't start when I press any buttons. How do I fix this problem?

    Since I have changed from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1, I have not been able to start up Photoshop Elements 9! or Premiere Elements 9! The menu starts up alright, but the programs don't start when I press any buttons. How do I fix this problem?

    If Layers is greyed out it possibly means that you are in Quick Mode. Select 'Expert' and all the options should become available.
    Try permanently associating psd files with C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and see if that fixes the issue. Instructions here - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/choose-programs-windows-uses-default.

  • I use itunes to store my music but I use Virtual DJ Broadcaster to play it. Somehow itunes has changed from Itunes Music Library to Itunes library. Virtual DJ does not Recognize the change.

    I use itunes to store my music but I use Virtual DJ Broadcaster to play it. Somehow itunes has changed from Itunes Music Library to Itunes library. Virtual DJ does not Recognize the change. Virtual DJ  at present seeing an older version of my libraries. Is it possible to Save my last library and Playlist and re-name everything else in my itunes account so it will again show "Itunes Music Library" Past libraries are of no consiquence . I'm hoping removing everything except  the last Library on my computers will make Virtual DJ  recognize it. I tried renameing  the Library to "Itunes Music Library" but it did not work. I fear the problem is in the Registry and without the correct path I am reluctand to play around  in there. Any help would be appreciated.

    Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.

  • [Solved] The requested object does not exist. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010114)

    I have a 8 node cluster with Hyper-V, which will be 10 nodes when it's finally done.
    Recently I've been try to add nodes and though that went fine, after about a week I could not open the Failover Cluster Manager anymore.
    After some checking I found out that the latest added node was giving problems.
    VM's on the node still run and function properly, but most Powershell commands result in a "The requested object does not exist. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010114)".
    I can suspend the node with Suspend-ClusterNode, but draining roles was unsuccesful in one case.
    In the other there were no VM's on the node so suspending went fine.
    What I did find out was that when I tried to ping the node from another, proper functioning node, it took a while before the pinging started. It felt like the interface had to come back online on the problem node.
    After that, I could add the cluster to the Failover Cluster Manager. However, Powershell commands still give a 0x80010114 error or a CIM error for when I use Get-NetAdapter.
    A reboot resolves the problem, but only for about a week.
    I know there is a topic with the same title already, but the wbemtest en rollup update "answer" is totally unclear to me why I should change something with wbemtest, or why to install updates that to me have nothing to do with this problem.
    Before I did the ping test from a functioning node I pinged my DC and another node from the problem node just fine.
    No waiting at all.
    The cluster has three networks. Management (host only), Live Migration and iSCSI (also a VMSwitch for certain VM's).
    I have no idea where to look. Evenviewer doesn't give me anything I can work with that I can find...

  • Clicking the scroll wheel does not open a new firefox window

    I'm running Windows 7 x64 SP1. I use the scroll wheel to click items in the task bar to open another instance of those items. Eg I scroll-click a Firefox or Excel or Explorer or whatever item in the taskbar, and it opens another instance of that program. I use this feature to open a new instance of FireFox rather than switching to the FF window, then using control-n to open a new window.
    I just upgraded to FireFox 6 from FF4.x. Since doing so, scroll-clicking the FF item in the taskbar does not open a new FF window. It does, well, nothing.
    I installed FF6 on a clean Win7 x86 (RTM) build in a VM. When I use the scroll-click feature in the taskbar, it works as expected: it opens a new FF window.
    Things I have tried: A different mouse; updating video drivers (I doubted this would make a difference, but it needed to be done anyway, so I thought I'd mention it); running FF in safe mode (ie with all plugins etc disabled).
    I'm doing a little experimentation right now with respect to x86/x64, RTM/SP1, clean FF6/upgrade from 4.x and other differences that might highlight why it works as expected in my VM but not on my physical machine.
    I'm curious to know if anyone else has experienced this problem since upgrading to FF6.
    Max

    Respectfully, that answer isn't particularly helpful. I have already demonstrated that middle-clicking (mouse wheel click) will open a new instance of FF, and other programs. This was true before the upgrade from FF4 to FF6, and is true on all my VM builds (Windows 7 default install with nothing but FF installed).
    Nevertheless, I've tried shift-left-click, and it does not open a new instance. It will only open a new instance if I pin FF to the taskbar, which I have already stated I do not want to do. This new behaviour is unique to FF. Other applications (Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, whatever) all behave as expected. It is only Firefox that is misbehaving, and it is only misbehaving since the upgrade.
    My issue is that FF has changed its behaviour with respect to middle-clicking since upgrading from 4 to 6. I'd welcome helpful comments about getting FF to behave.

  • IPhoto does not see any changes after editing a photo in Camera Raw

    Hello everyone ,
    I have some small problem with my iPhoto. I have set up Camer Raw in iPhoto as  External Editor, so when I click on edit in IPhoto,
    automatically opens my JPG in Camera Raw. After editing in Camera Raw I'm clicking on ,,Save image" then destination is ,,Save in same location" When I go back to iPhoto to the same photo, iPhoto does not show any changes I have made in Camera Raw. 
    What could it be or should I set something in iPhoto or in Camera Raw?
    Is there a chance in order to deal with this?
    I will be grateful for any assistance and
    I'm waiting for advice
    Dawid

    Any time a RAW file is edited in any 3rd party editor from within iPhoto it MUST be saved to the Desktop and imported as a new file. There's no other way to do it.  So the photos you've edited and saved are somewhere in the iPhoto Library folder system but cannot be recognized and used by iPhoto.
    The following is geared for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements but might have some info relevant for you:
    Using Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop Elements 9 as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    s  I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in iPhoto".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
    Click to view full size
    This way you get the best of both worlds.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • When starting up Mail 7.3 does not provide a New Message window

    When starting up Mail 7.3 does not provide a New Message window as it always used to? Have I inadvertently turned something off?

    OOPs! My mistake; I meant New Viewer Window!
    The problem is that if I close the Mail window but leave Mail running in the background, the next time I click on Mail in the Dock, I do NOT get the New Viewer Window, just the Mail Menu on the Menu Bar. If I Quit Mail in that state and then start it up from the Dock, I also get on the Mail Menu.
    If, however, I Quit Mail when the Viewer Window is open, it will open up again with the New Viewer Window visible.
    In the past, I got the New Viewer Window whenever I clicked Mail in the Dock.
    Changing settings in System Preferences / General  doesn't make any difference.
    Not a huge problem, just an annoyance. Ran Permissions Repair; no change in the issue.
    Thanks for your response / attempt to help. Sorry again for the mistaken Window name.

  • What action dom i take for this error message "C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\physics.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences"?

    I get this message when I try to download a pdf file from a website.
    "C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\physics.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences."
    This is a new error. There used to be no problem.

    Do you have any setting for MP3 in Tools > Options > Applications ?
    You usually need the QuickTime plugin to play MP3 files on Windows because that is the only plugin that supports that file extension if there is no MIME type specified to play the file with another plugin like Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.

  • My 6th generation nano does not show in the iTunes window.

    When I open iTunes my nano does not appear in the library window and my computer does not recognize the device, so it's also not synching. My library is intact and I've updated both the iTunes software and downloaded updates for Windows 7.  I even uninstalled and re-install iTunees.
    The only thing I haven't done is changed cords.  I'm using the cord from a 1st generation ipod.  I received the 6th generation ipod as part of Apple's replacement program.
    Everything worked fine the last time I synched a few months ago and when I recharged the ipod last month.
    Does anyone have additional tips to fix this?

    I tried all this, I mean should I reset all setting?
    Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    that is restart.
