Problem startup_dock dissapeared

Hi I have been having problems for a while now with my G5 and was wondering wether someone could advise appropiately.I have checked the apple forums and tried various things but they don't seem to work.
First on the board is the fact that my dock refuses to appear,I have checked dock prefs and have tried deleting the dock playlist as I read somewhere but no luck.My main problem with this is that I cannot locate the Trash to completely delete it's contents.
So 1. Any suggestions on how to get back my dock and 2. Where do I locate the trash (without going through the dock) ?
My other problem which is worse is the fact that when I try to switch my G5 I get the click sound from the computer switch plus a red light but it doesnt start up ! I found out that my computer would eventually start up by removing the power cord,waiting 10/15mins and then plugging back on the power cord and switching on,but that doesn't look too healthy.
And yet another problem which has added to the list these past days is that sometimes when switched on (mainly working on final cut...original verion) all fans go to the max and the computer freezes forcing me to shut down via the computers main switch,which then I have to un plug the power cord and wait the 10/15mins to switch back on.
Right now I am working back and forth between my G5 and Powerbook on a couple of projects and wouldnt like to have to reinstall system cds until I finish them off,But if you have any suggestions I would be most grateful.
Thanks so much
Dan

Hi-
I get the click sound from the computer switch plus a red light but it doesnt start up !
It sounds as if the PSU is failing.
You are likely living on borrowed time.
At a minimum, blowing all the accumulated dust from the interior of the PSU is needed.
This will help prolong the inevitable.
And yet another problem which has added to the list these past days is that sometimes when switched on (mainly working on final cut...original verion) all fans go to the max and the computer freezes forcing me to shut down
This could be a symptom related to the reason that your Dock doesn't work- you may have severe drive directory damage and repair of the drive is necessary.
At a minimum, boot to the OS install disc and run "Repair Disk" on the boot drive using Disk Utility.
If you have Disk Warrior, that is much better.
I cannot locate the Trash to completely delete it's contents.

Replace with after effects composition problem, video dissapears

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with premiere's cs5 "replace with after effects composition" command. Every time I try doing it I get just a new comp made in after effects but no files so the screen is just black without content.
Then the video in premiere dissapears too and the "file" in the timeline turns a pink color.
Any ideas about whats going on here? thanks in advance.

Grant, I did figure it out (and felt rather silly when I did). You have to select all your files from the Project portion of AE and drag them into the Render segment - bottom left corner of your AfterEffects screen - in order for them to play. I guess I should have come back to the forum and reported once I got it working, so everyone would know that there's nothing wrong with Adobe. Once you do that, there are all sorts of super-cool things you can do with a slide show for video presentation. I did decide to put it into Windows Media Play and convert to MPEG before uploading to the internet, however, because it reduced the size to roughly 15% of AVI. I preserved AVI for DVD because of quality, which is far better.
There's an awesome video tutorial - thank you, Andrew Kramer!! - on creating slideshows at: http://library.creativecow.net/articles/kramer_andrew/slideshows/video-tutorial.php - now that you (hopefully) know what you're doing wrong in AE.

Problem with dissapearing objects CS5

Greetings. i am having a very strange and very frustrating problem. i have a graphic i have built, and i can ONLY save it as an .ai file. If i try to save it as anything else, or even create a CS Live review, pieces of it dont show up. None of these objects are hidden or locked or anything else that i can determine. If i try to open the file in photoshop, the same problem occurs. The strangest thing is that in Illustrator, the navagator panel is ALSO displaying the graphic as though it is missing pieces, but in the artboard everything is there and accounted for. I have tried and tried again to figure out why this is happening, and have found nothing. Needless to say, this has made it very difficult to get it approved from the client, as there was no way to show them it. I ended up having to screen capture illustrator and just cut it out of that. I have included images to better display this error.
Here is how the graphic SHOULD look, and appears in the artboard
Here is how it appears when i try to save it as any file but .ai, try to create a review or try to open it in another program. This is also how it is displayed in the navagator panel:
As you can see, large portions of the graphic are missing from either side.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, as i am at the end of my rope. Thanks
Craig.

What happens if you select all and group, do the items still disapear? You can set a layer attribute to not print, but I do not think that is it as the navigator would still display them.
Check your artboards window to see if you have multiple artboards, that are not needed.
Try select object stray points, and delete them.

Problem with dissapearing Wikis

Hi!
I've been running Leopard server for about a year and the wikis and webcalenders have been fine. Suddenly some of the wikis has just dissapeared. They show up in the list of groups, but when you click on the link you get an error:
"404: No group with that name (buzz) hosted on this server"
This has happened to 4 of our 25 groups. All the other groups works just fine. I've tried to uncheck the webservice from the group in WGM, then restarted the webservices. After this the group has dissapeared from the list of groups. Then i've tried to check it again i WGM and then restarted webservice. Then the group is back in the list, but I still get the error when i click on the link.
The collaboration-directory exists in /collaboration/groups/buzz.
Any ideas?

I've seen this happen when you change the name of the web site (even just changing it from * to the FQDN). It seems the wiki sets itself up on the specific names from first setup. Changing the names in the settings of the web sites or perhaps a DNS change simply knocks it out. Maybe this is what's happening to you?

Tab key in the ActiveX AcroPDF crashes application

Hello everybody,
I wonder whether any of you had this problem working with an ActiveX which displays a PDF file. This is the situation:
- I've designed a VI which displays a pdf file in the ActiveX container (see attached) using LabVIEW 2009 Proffessional SP1. I'm running in Windows XP, and I've got installed Adobe Reader 8.
- When running this VI using LabVIEW, everything works fine.
- I've build an executable, which works perfect in the computer where LabVIEW is installed.
Now, I try to execute the same executable in a clean computer which has installed Adobe Reader 9 and LabVIEW Run-Time 9. It seems to work fine, and the pdf is perfectly displayed, with all the Adobe options working well. But the problem shows when pressing the "Tab" key. The executable crashes with the typical windows screen which says that an error has been detected and that the program will be closed. And that is what happens. The application is closed suddenly,
I remember to have seen few months ago a post with the same issue. A bug in LabVIEW 8.5 would be the reason and I thought that the problem would dissapeared when getting the LabVIEW 2009. But as far as I can see, it didn't, and I cannot find this post again.
Thanks in advance for any help you might give me, and if you need further details of the VI or versions used, just let me know. I hope somebody came accross with this issue before and can give me a hand.
Regards,
Dani

Well, that seems like a definite LabVIEW bug to me. I just reproduced it (NOT as an executable) with a simple self-contained program. I've attached a code snippet below. While it is running I pressed the Tab several times. Eventually it locks up and closes LV without any notice at all. It's a very repeatable crash, for what that's worth.

Dvd causes finder to go into a loop cycle

This is hard to explain. I record a teaching to a Panasonic DVD recorder, and then digitize it using DVDxDV. For some reason, when the DVD loads it begins to cause the Finder to cycle in a loop from one program to another. Everything works, but you have to catch the program your in from cycle to cycle.
Any guesses? Is this a mac issue? I'm thinking there is something with the way the DVD is being burned and the way it is read by the Mac Finder. I tried turning off auto loading in DVD player in the system preferences, but it doesn't change anything.

Well, I updated to TIger 10.4.6 and the problem has dissapeared. Guess you just have to roll with the OS bugs that Apple leaves in until latter updates.

Itunes store failure

Admittedly, I was a bit of a bonehead to update itunes while I had a song downloading, but I didn't expect it to charge my account, register the song in my history, and never give it to me.
Song was: Paint the Silence by South.
I've tried 'reporting' the problem, but the guy on the phone referred me to a dead link, and the Itunes 'Purchase History's button 'Report a Problem' just dissapears after being clicked. No idea how to proceed. Perhaps one of you Genii will know.
Thanks.

Launching and shut down concerns

today as i was shutting down my PB the screen turned blue and the little clock like animation popped out and my notebook never shut down. being in a hurry i just shut the monitor hoping it was gonna be alright since i was in a hurry. it is a fact that it always takes is a couple of seconds if we opt to shut it right away instead of waiting for 2 mins.
so after work i got home and turned on my pb and suprise suprise as the power resumed the same thing happened....it didn't even go and ask for my password...it was just blue with the clock like animation. thinking that i can reset it, i removed the battery for 5 seconds and started it again. same result. my last move was to shut it by pressing down on the power button till it shut and after 10 seconds i started it again it worked like nothing went wrong.
of course i'm using it now. but should i be worried?
pj

I know it sounds like an oxymoron, but a lot of times your powerbook won't shut down properly due to what is in your startupitems folder in the library. So many times, if you remove the items in your startupitems folder, your problems will dissapear. I've found that it might happen every once and a while when I install some software that runs when you turn your computer on, so its not a big deal. Hope it all works out for you.

Internal error when downloading web service proxy jars

Hi,
I have a web service created from a stateless Java class in OC4J 10.1.2. I access the web page of the service and can download the WSDL and test the services, but if I try to download the compiled or source JAR files of the client proxy I get this:
500 Internal Server Error
java.lang.NullPointerException at oracle.wsdl.toolkit.util.JarUtil.addFileEntry(JarUtil.java:105) at oracle.wsdl.toolkit.util.JarUtil.createJar(JarUtil.java:34) at oracle.j2ee.ws.BaseWebService.generateClientStubJar(BaseWebService.java:1555) at oracle.j2ee.ws.BaseWebService.doGetClientJar(BaseWebService.java:1469) at oracle.j2ee.ws.BaseWebService.doGet(BaseWebService.java:1142) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:740) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853)
I ccan find both the java and class files at %OC$J_HOME%\j2ee\home\application-deployments\myapp\myapp2006\temp\__java_stateless_rpc...(packages)...\proxy
So I have the impression that the problem comes at packaging files into a JAR file.
I've noticed the class names are very long because they include the full package route changing dots for underscores, which in my case results in class names of up to 64 characters (excluding extension and separator dot). Also the proxy directory where those files are created is very deep because after the __java_stateless_rpc directory the full package structure is repeated twice. I've detected that Windows Explorer does not allow me to delete, edit or view properties of those class and source files with names of 64 characters or more under the proxy directory, which for those cases means a complete path of over 256 characters.
I'm not sure if this is the cause, but anyway I don't like those very long class names, is there any way of instructing the servlet to use other name generation scheme?
Regards

Hi,
It seem that I was right and the length of the paths where in the heart of the problem. I've moved my oc4j directory to the root of my filesystem and the problem has dissapeared.
Anyway, I find that name scheme very ugly and also ackward to use in the client, I could probably edit the sources myself but having to do so each time something changes...
I'd propose that the servlett replicated the package structure under which the beans are originally, thus creating a more natural and logical structure with much shorter names.
Maybe the path under __java_stateless_rpc could also be shortened.
Regards

I am not able to play videos from YouTube, or videow posted on my blog, when I use Fire Fox.

MSI transform file does not seem to be preventing updates

So I have noticed that in the last few versions, the MSI transform file (MST) that i have been using does not seem to be working in terms of stopping the update nag on the users machines.
My transform file has the following entries:
4. under property, change the ISCHECKFORPRODUCTUPDATES to 0 and the AgreeToLicense to Yes
5. Under Checkbox, also change ISCHECKFORPRODUCTUPDATES to 0
Has there been a new key added or something? Becuase my users are still getting prompted, even with these changes.

I think it was previous versions of flash which had been installed outside of the gpo that was causing it. The problem has dissapeared somewhat, or well I havent noticed it on the last few flash updates. I would make sure that the version of flash on the machine is the one installed via GPO. It could be that the user or an administrator had installed a non GPO/MST version of it, which was I think the case with us.
I attached both my transforms for acrivex and plugin for version 11.5.502.110, but it should be similar. I have not noticed the popup in a while so i think i got rid of the problematic flash copies on the machines due to reimaging or uninstalling old flash on a case by case basis. sorry to say!
Oh i cant upload files, oh well. its just 3 properties:
But if anyone else has the problem and knows a solution, feel free to update! there could be another property in there somewhere, however like i said I have not seen the behaviour reoccur, especially on newly imaged machines.

Flex 2-14 issues

Dear Users,
I strongly advise you not to consider buying the Lenovo model Flex 2-14 or any Lenovo machines at all.
I bought one recently and the screen has yellow spots in the corners and on the sides from day 1. Also the laptop rattles thanks to its flexibility I guess. The annoying rattling noise just drives one crazy.
I thought these problems will dissapear, but I waited in vain, they are just getting worse. Well, I am covered by warranty, so I thought no problem, even though I am out of the US where I purchased it online. But calling the customer service and struggling to get the right person, who eventually refuses to fulfill the Lenovo warranty obligations on the basis of the fact the receipent's first name is different from mine (though we do have the same family name, as we are family). Then after some time, the person agrees to consider the possibility of repair. And now they ask million questions and put different conditions to delay the return for repair, and just to make us so sick and tired of them, that we don't want to call them anymore, especially given that we don't have time to waste on the telephone. So the Customer service does everything just to avoid accepting for repair the defective laptop they sold us. I am deeply dissatisfied with the quality of Lenovo products and with the attitude of their staff.

hi Swtess,
Welcome to the Forums.
Depending on the SKU, the Flex 2-14 can be powered by either an 802.11AC card and some are onlg b/n (see page 79 of the HMM for more info).
- Link to picture
A b/n or b/g/n wireless card will not be able to detect a 5Ghz wireless access point as these type of cards can only detect and connect to a 2.4Ghz band.
More info:
Wireless: Determine if Computer Has 5GHz Network Band Capability (Windows)
Laptop wireless networking options: 1x1 vs 2x2
As for the battery, this review shows that the battery can up to the following scenarios:
If you're getting 2hrs during WiFi surfing, try the following:
1. Set the power plan to Power Saver and screen brightness to minimum.
2. If you have devices plugged-in to the USB port, temporarily unplug them and observe

Update firmware 7610 Supernova

Hi Everybody.
This is my first post here. I bought a 7610 Supernova November 2008, since then I've been having a problem with restoring setting. There are a lot of people complaing about it. But the point is, the firmware I had was V04.82 RM-354 and in Feb/2009 I update the device throu NSU to firmware V05.20 RM-354, I thought my problems will dissapear... What the surprise, my restoring setting still the same and now my A2DP star to fail.I use this device to listen music using a bluetooth headset and was very fine til update. Does someone knows how to downgrade the firmware? Does someone had the same experience? I conect Nokia Care and still waiting an answer, but if everyone that has the same problem conect Nokia Care Service, for sure they have to listen their costumers, I suppouse...

then type *#7370# (it will format your phone)
That will not work on a 7610 supernova as it is a series 40 phone, not an S60 smartphone.
The firmware may be able to be downgraded at a nokia care point. They may also be able to help with the other issues without downgrading.

Doubt about migrating from exchange 5.5 to Java Enterprise Communication

Hi all,
I guest this is the proper forum to make this question if not sorry for the disturbs.
Currently we're using exchange server 5.5 as mail server, now my boss want to migrate the mail server and is my moment to change to a real mail server "messaging Server".
Main problem here is the migration process, I've looked for info in "docs.sun.com" and I've found several documentation about this migration process, but the best I've found is the document about SGMT toolkit.
If this toolkit is free a big part of my problems will dissapear.
Therefore here are my questions:
* Is the SGMT toolkit free?, if not anyone knows about the cost?
* Just in case SGMT is too expensive, anyone knows about a different way to migrate the exchange mails to Messaging Server? (any url or doc will be welcome)
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind Regards

As far as I know, SGMT toolkit itself is free, but you must attend a training session to get it, and that training is not free.
You have to contact your sun salesperson to get it.
There are a variety of free IMAP tools available to migrate messages, if you either know or can change user passwords.
If your users can be trusted, you can have them use IMAP to migrate their own mail.
I don't know Exchange, at all, but if it can export mailboxes to unix format, Messaging Server can accept that with "imsimport".

Rich forms stop loading half way through

Hi, I have already posted this in the getting started forum
but it didn't get any response, thought I might try here too to see
if anyone here can help.
I am having a few problems with my testing server (CF 7.02
developer version) that I am hoping someone can shed some light on
for me. I am having two issues which may be related, one
(Administrator) is not really a problem for me, but as they may be
related I thought I'd mention both. I'm sure when I get them sorted
out the solution will be obvious, but right now I just seem to have
a mental block on where I should be looking to resolve it.
The machine is running Apache on Windows Xp, the webroot is
localhost/public/
Basic cf pages are running fine (all images etc appear as
expected), but when I go to view administrator using the link under
programs (Start button) it looks for it at
localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm and gives a "file not
found" error. If I add /public/ to the address administrator opens
but all images are broken (the images are being looked for at
localhost/CFIDE/administrator instead of
localhost/public/CFIDE/administrator). As I said, this isn't really
a big deal, but may be a symptom of the problem that is causing my
other issue.
I am starting to play with Rich forms, and while the files I
have created work on the production server at our host, I had not
been able to get them working on my testing server (just gave me a
blank space instead of the form). I managed to improve the
situation this morning by changing CFAdministrators 'Default CFFORM
ScriptSrc Directory' setting from /CFIDE/scripts/ to
/public/CFIDE/scripts/. Unfortunately, that wasn't the whole
problem though as now my rich forms start to load but never seem to
complete that process. The timer icon remains on the cursor
indefinately and some parts of the form (stuff within cfitem tags,
as well as any data in datagrids coming from queries) does not
appear. Actual form fields/buttons etc do appear though. The fact
that the timer stays there and the progress of loading the flash
form seems to stop suggests to me that it is looking for something
that it can't find, and therefore may be related to the path
problems I seem to have.
So it seems when I installed CF I didn't tell it where to
look for web files correctly. As I said, I'm sure I should know
this, but can't for the life of me think of where I should be able
to tell cf where the web root is. I am hoping when I do all of my
rich form problems will dissapear (as well as allowing me to see
the CF Adminstrator pages in all their glory with images instead of
boxes with broken icons).
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Peter.
