Probably a quick fix

So i tried to open a application from my email in the "downloads" but it seems like it frozen and the little colour wheel keeps going. I cant close it, it doesn't stop or close on its own when I shut the computer down, nothing. It still lets me open anything else on the computer but It shouldnt be doing this! I'm sure it may be a quick fix, I just dont know how to do it.
Thanks

What do you mean? You push shut down and nothing happens?
Probably because the application is "hanging" or frozen. There's a way to Force Quit an application. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3411

INDESIGN CS2 NOT LAUNCHING DESPITE QUICK FIX

I noticed the comment at the top concerning potential launch problems after applying the Acrobat 8.2 update. I have Acrobat 7.0 Professional. InDesign will not launch ... I have tried the quick fix which didn't work (probably because I have an earlier version of Acrobat). Can anyone help me out? I desparately need to get InDesign back up and running.
Thanks

"The application InDesign has unexpectedly quit. The system and other
applications have not been affected. A report has been created that you
can send to Adobe to help identify the problem."
I have sent that report to Adobe twice and as yet have had no response to my problem.
It's not a report that is going to cause Adobe to contact you. It's just a crash report, and I assume (hope!) that Adobe software developers and testers will use those in finding bugs or making patches, but no one is going to write you an email saying, "Oh hey, I see you're having an InDesign problem! Let me help you!" That error message really should say "[...] to help our developers identify the problem, which may result in the deployment of a patch or update."
It does seem like this is caused by the Acrobat update, but it's worth it to try some of the normal OS X troubleshooting methods.
Do you know how to make a new user in OS X? If so, make a brand-new user and try InDesign again. Does is still crash? That will show whether it's a
problem with your user account or a system-wide problem.
Did you try to clear the font cache? (That's probably irrelevant.) Did you repair permissions? (Maybe relevant.)
I don't know offhand of any way to roll back updates to Acrobat 7. Sadly one of the easiest ways to find out if it's Acrobat that is causing the crash, or a change made by the Acrobat to another file or folder that is causing InDesign to crash, is to uninstall and reinstall your applications. Do you have your install media handy?

Query for collection "Quick Fix Engineering"

Hi!
I try to create query for collection,to find all workstation with install specific KB, from "Quick Fix Engineering".
Added by this sample:
http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2011/10/04/non-security-hotfix-detection-for-windows-7-2008/
Maybe you can help? Can not find an example :(

That's made a lot simpler in ConfigMgr 2012, as it can now simply be selected as an extra class in the
Hardware Inventory of your client settings.
Simply go in to your client settings, go to Hardware Inventory
and click Set Classes. Here you can select the Quick Fix Engineering class to be part of your inventory.
After an inventory you will be able to create your collection. Do keep in mind that this will also capture a lot of information that you will probably never use.

I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the butten is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?

I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the button is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?

Hi,
You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

Quick Fix to iTouch Syncing issues

I too have seen the problems mentioned in the forums about the ipod touch syncing issues with the january software upgrade option... And i have seen the quick fix that allows you to get it to sync. I will post it here so that eveybody doesn't have to scroll down to the bottom of a topic or search through topics. Please don't reply to keep this a clean topic so others can easily access the information.
*Disconnect iPod Touch from computer.*
*Disconnect computer from internet.*
*Reconnect iPod Touch to computer.*
*Start syncing editing ... whatever*
*Reconnect to internet*
This should hopefully allow you to start syncing again, it is not the ideal solution and I do hope the apple engineers can find a permanent solution. And thanks to the guys who posted the original instructions, I do not in any way take credit for the instructions, only making them more accessible.

I REALLY appreciate your help. Your fix worked and relieved a lot of frustration. I have HP everything (Printer, lap-top, desk tops) and was upset there wasn't an obvious "contact" option in the support web-site. I knew if I was allowed to describe the problem, a bright person like you would respond.

'Quick Fix' for HP Officejet Pro L7580 Printer & 88XL Yellow Cartridge Popping out problem!

After reading other forum comments from people having the same problem with the yellow cartridge popping-out, combined with others who have realised that HP have no interest in compensating anyone for this rediculous example of, at best, 'bad design', or at worst 'blatent planned obsolescence', I have created a solution that may add another 1, 2 or more years of life to the HP Officejet Pro L7580 Printer.
This is not the elegant technical solution I was hoping for. However, in hindsight, it may prove to be a more reliable solution than replacing the faulty part that is actually causing the problem. So, here it is the solution ........
I found a wooden triangular door stop that I cut to size that fitted exactly in the space between the plastic door and the offending yellow cartridge. To hold it in place, I wrapped the doorstop with 2" cellotape, then I stuck the door stop to the inside of the plastic door with double sided cellotape (double sided stick-on foam would also work well). With the doorstop in the correct place, the plastic door closed perfectly and was snug enough to apply sufficent pressure to the offending yellow cartridge, and hence stopping it from popping out again. To make sure the plastic door does not 'fly open' with the pressure of the yellow cartridge (when it wants to pop out!), I applied another piece of 2" cellotape around the outside of the door, holding it to the body of the photocopier.
This exercise only took 10-15 mins to do. I feel this is a much better option than spending another $300+ on a new All-in-One system, as well as being a good environmental solution. If this is DELIBERATE 'planned obsolescence', companies like HP need to be more accountable for, at best, 'sloppy design'. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Try this for a Quick Fix ...........

I recently installed a 2nd drive in my Mac Pro. I wanted my pictures on the new drive so I moved the Picture file there. I also upgraded my iPhoto. Now iPhoto doesn't know where many of the photos are. Any quick fix?

Itunes has stopped working windows 7 QUICK FIX

I really don't know if this will help all issues, but it sure did the trick for mine. After reading multiple workarounds and fixes for this problem (itunes crashing upon trying to play video with the message 'itunes has stopped working' - same issue with quicktime), I thought to myself, "there's GOT to be an easier way." And, in my case, there was. I went to the control panel, selected the uninstall a program feature, but instead of uninstalling, i selected itunes and clicked the 'repair' button. I did the same for quicktime. And now, both work as they should. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. Hope it helps. And if it doesn't, don't blame me. I'm not an expert - just a guy trying to share a possible quick fix to your problem. GOOD LUCK!

Still having this issue

Is there any "quick fix" code to make a Safari-ready site transfer to IE and Firefox?

I have built a site offline that works absolutely fine in Safari, but when opening in Firefox the browser seems to totally ignore much of the CSS; text changes to default colors, font size alters and some alignment gets messy. Workign on a Mac, I assume IE is going to have the same problems as encountered by FIrefox.
I feel I'm going to get a resounding "NO", but is there a quick-fix, a CSS band-aid, to make the site convert correctly?
If not, is there a specific resource I can go to to get the tags etc needed to remedy those problems?
The problems are relatively minor - I'm just wondering if I might have to <font> tag every incident where there's a problem...
Ugh, cross-browser transfer SUCKS! Can't we all just get along?!

As adninjastrator mentioned, there usually is no need to do cross-browser transfer with browsers nowadays. However, sometimes when coding, I run into problems with code being interpreted differently on mobile platforms, and I often turn to CSS browser selector, which is a "quick fix" but keep in mind, will be a constant chore in the future as browsers update, etc.
http://rafael.adm.br/css_browser_selector/
Really though, your best option is to code the site so it works flawlessly across all major browsers. When you make a change, check in all browsers before continuing, that way you can see where certain issues are happening, and more often than not there is an alternative in your code to get around these issues.
Hope this helps!

In design CS won't open in OSX 10.7. Is there a quick fix vise new purchase?

In design CS won't open in OSX 10.7. Is there a quick fix vise new purchase? I get a error message that says (you cant open InDesign CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported).

This is a great question, at least for me. I've often wondered about it. I run Windows on my Mac with Parallels.
I never thought about what you've asked, so I asked Google: "can parallels or vmware run earlier mac os x versions on a later mac os x" without quotes.
Here's the first link that I saw that seemed to be on point:
http://www.macworld.com/article/2014336/one-mac-two-versions-of-os-x.html
A quick scan notes two approaches; get a new external drive, or use virtual software like Parallels or VMware. It mentions a no-no about running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) in a virtualizer, but it goes on to say that 10.6 Server is OK. The article recommends a link to another article that compares VMware vs. Parallels.
The real "trick" might be finding a legal copy of OS X 10.6 SERVER, or 10.5 or earlier.

LiveCycle ES4 SP1 - Download von Quick Fixes - Wie/Wo ?

Hallo,
wo (also über welche Download-Links) kann ich Quick Fixes für LiveCycle ES4 SP1 herunterladen,
oder wie komme ich über die "Kontaktaufnahme mit dem Support" (Hier dreht man sich nur im Kreis oder kommt zu diesem Forum) zu den Download-Links,
oder zu einer Möglichkeit die Quick Fixes letztendlich zu installieren?
Die Übersichtsseite "LiveCycle Help | LiveCycle ES4 SP1 Quick Fixes" und die entsprechenden "Quick Fix"-Seiten sind noch zu finden,
aber wo bitte kann ich diese "Quick Fixes" herunterladen?
Es ist ja schön dass es diese Übersicht über die bereits behobenen Fehler gibt,
aber wenn ich diese Patches (Quick Fixes) nicht herunterladen und dann installieren kann,
ist das ganze irgendwie sinnfrei.
Gibt es ein Quick Fix - Pack, welches alle Quick Fixes beinhaltet und diese installiert?
Gruß Stef

Where is the "quick fix" for the "insuffient data" bug in 9.5.2?

Adobe alludes to a quick fix for this acknowledged but says contact a support team to request it.
Please consider this a request that the fix be PUBLISHED for all.
Thank you.

Acrobat engineering would like to inform users facing this issue that the latest Reader XI release (available for download from http://get.adobe.com/reader) fixes this problem. Users are requested to download the latest version at the earliest to avoid encountering this error going forward. As mentioned earlier, the team is working actively towards fixing the problem in earlier versions (10.x and 9.x) as well and expects to deliver a solution by Q1 2013. For more details, you may refer to the blog post here

HELP! Major Project due tomorrow...need quick fix advice

I have just finished creating a movie and my deadline to submit is tomorrow. Everything looks good, but when I added in a few clips, following this... it speeds up the rest of the video (i.e. the audio is normal, but the video looks like it is moving in slight/fastforward) is there a quick fix for this? I have not experienced this before...

You give too little details.
iDVD can appeear to be frozen, but it still works. This is especially true for the audio encoding. Depending on the complexity and duration of your project, as well as the power of your machine, the encoding phase can take long hours.
I understand you don't have time for experimenting, so here's what you can try:
- open Font Book;
- select all fonts that have a dot on the right;
- do Edit>Resolve Dupplicates.
Then try again with iDVD and your project. This time leave enough time, even if a right-click in the iDVD's icon in the Dock tells it's not responding.
And check you have enough free space: at least 10% of the HDD (general rule for Mac OS X), or 10 GB (some even say 20 GB).

Probably a quick fix
